The following is an exquisite portrait
in miniature of one of Talleyrand's
early friends:
Nobody ever appeared to me to pos
sess q conventional charm compare
bic to hers She had no pretentious-
ness; her words never bore, if may
say 50, any striking color; she spoke in
delicate shadings; no witticism ever
fell from her lips: that would have been
too violent. Witticisms are remem-
bered, whereas she only sought to please,
and to let the words be forgotten. An
abundant stock of faeile, new and ever
delicate explosions supplied the varied
requirements of her intelligence.
This lady has inspired me with a
thorough aversion for people who in
order to speak tine more accurately, use
none but technical terms. have no
faith in the brain power, or in the
science, of persons who are ignorant of
equivalents, and go on forever defining;
it is to their memory alone they are in
debted for what they know, and &C
cordinsiy they know 10 badly 1 am
sorry that this remark should have oe-
cured to me during II. de Humboldts
stay in Paris, bat ROW it is penned let
10 remain. -Tailcyrand's Memoirs in

Woman as a Financler.

Mrs. Carpetmaker, recognizing

sets herself to work to get cheap

by the Great Northern Railway com

tricyoles so constructed as to run on the
regular railway tracks. The machine

of ten miles or more an hour is quite

such a way that he calculated he could

chuckled when the train started up to
think what n snap hewas going to have

the speed ran up to twenty miles in no

The Battery, how changed and how
significant the changel
Fifty years ago it was an open Geld
with growing grass and stately trees,
with a water view unsurpassed, taking
in the most beautiful barber in the
world, stretching toward the Narrows,
bounded on either side by cultivated
hills, and thence out into the ocean,
turbulent and impressive. Thither
the old time merchants with their
families repaired after the evening
meal, sitting under the magnificent
trees, walking along the shaded paths
singing pebbles upon the smashing
waters and gazing at the lofty mSsts OF
multitudinous shipping.
Skirting its aristOcratic edge We're the
handsomest and most desired houses in
the city, occupied by the wealthiest
and best known people of the town.
Little by little trade and commerce en-
tered those sacred precincts, driving
the domestic circle rs far up town as
John street and Fulton street, while
some people even ventured to have
country houses as far toward the capt
tai of the state as Blocker street and
Great Jones street.
But nOwl
Wen, without becoming historic let
US say that the Battery is now the
home Of the tramp; it is cut in twain
by the posts of the elevated railroads,
from whose greasy rails drop oil and
einders, while bathing houses, barge
office, ferry depots and Castle Garden
occupy its entire water front Dirt,
squalor, poverty and immigration are
all that characterize that once choicest
spot Of metropolitan existence.-JOe'

Don't conclude that a man is a
gentleman, because he has the
manners of one.
Don't think because a man is a
graceful and interesting talker that
he is everything else,
Don't foil to take man at his
word when he says he is poor.
Don't be familiar with men, and
don't permit familiarities from
them.I
Don't think because a man likes
you that he wants to marry you.
Don't think a man is not in love
with you because he has not pro
posed to you.
Don't be silly about the men.
Don't be rude to man in order
to show your independence.
Don't let man impose upon
yon, simply because he is man.
Don't believe everything man
tells you, either about himself or
yourself. -Ex.

sparta, Greece.

This city has led me to recall the
old NEUROLOGICAL romance, out Of
which rose the Trojan war and re-
suited in the total destruction of
the city Troy. A way back in the
days Of early mythology the gods
and goddesses held a great feast on
the Olympian heights, all were in
yited except Discordia, the GOODIES
of discord and strife. This, of
course, offended her royal dignity,
and she Immediately set about de-
vising mea whereby she might
avenge her wounded feeling.
Knowing the feelings, and the
pride Of the other goddesses. She
on the day they were all assembled
threw INTO their midst a golden ap-
pie marked. "For the most beau
tiful7 pulcherema me habeto. J
Now each goddess thought she was
lastly entitled to the apple. This
caused a strife. However all with
drew except three. The council
could not decide the matter. 1t
was agreed that one Paris, the son
of Priam, king of Troy, should be
called in to decide the matter.
He was offered various brides, but
one Of the candidates offered to
give him the most beautiful woman
in the world for his wife. This
captured Paris, and so the contest
was ended. But Discordia, was
only partially avenged for her in
suit, nor did Paris dream Of the
Trouble into which he had drifted.
That woman who was to be his
wife was the famous HELEN, wife
of Menelaus, King of Sparta Pa
ris was sent ON tour to Sparta,
being the son of the king of Troy
he was received with royal hospi-
tality into the home of Menelaus.
When he left he took with him,
HELEN, back to Troy nor would he
relinguish his claims, not even up
on the demand of all Greece. The
result was the famous Trojan war
which ended by the total destruc-
ton of proud Troy and the death
Of all the inhabitants save only
few, Anaeas and his followers who
after many years wandering, perils
sufferings, and hardships landed
upon Italian shores and founded a
province which is supposed to
have been the beginning Of the
Latin tribes.
