Wac Wellington surprised2

The generally received notion that
the Duke of Wellington was surprised
receives full confirmation in many
pages of Waterloo Letters. and per-
haps most markedly in letter from
Sir William Napier, the historian.
Napier gives the following account
from the dukes own mouth:
He found the Prince of Orange at
the Duchess of Richmond's ball on
the evening of the 18th. He was
surprised to see him because he had
placed him at Binche, an important
outpost, for the purpose of observing
and giving notice of the movements
of the enemy. He went up to him
and asked if there was any news.
mo, nothing but that the French
have crossed the Sambre and had a
brush with the Prussians. Have you
heard of it2" This was news. So he
told him quietly that he had better
go back to his post, and then by de-
grees he got the principal officers
away from the ball and sent them to
their troops This was done, | think
he said, about ii o'clock. He then
went to his quarters and found Muf-
fling there, coming from Blucher
with the news; he ought to have ar
rived long before, but said the duke
to me, Il cannot tell the world that
Blucher picked the fattest man in
his army to ride with an express to
me, and that he took thirty hours to
90 thirty miles. London Academy.

1t was estimated in 1876 that there
were 500. 900 laceworkers in Europe,
of which 15O, 900 were women, and
that in Belgium alone there were
over 900 lace schools, many of which
were in the converts. No wonder is
it, then, that the most remarkable
pieces of point lace are found as heir
looms all through Belgium, one of
which is described as a three cor
nered shawl as delicate as if woven
by a spider and so fine it can be
drawn through a ring Until 1865
French laces were so coarse that the
people would not wear them, in spite
of several ordinances of the French
government.
This led Colbert to start the manu-
facture of new designs at his own
country seat, near Alencon, from
patterns brought from Flanders, Ven
ice and Genoa, under the superin-
tendence of Mime. Gilbert, native
of Alencon, with thirty skilled lace
makers. The results of. this scheme
soon became the rage, so that no
more money went out of the coun-
try, to the delight of the shrewd Col
bert. Brooklyn Eagle.

Recalling circles seem 10 be ell the
rage now among young people of
every class. Their multiplication,
unlike many other successful institu-
tions. is not due altogether to the
fact that the idea is a fashionable
one, for fashion and study hardly go
hand in hand They are horses Of
different breed, different color and
different proportions. and it is sci
dom that they can, from a compare
tive standpoint, be made TO labor to
gether The necessity Of education
which is daily impresssing itself more
and more upon the youth of our
times is Che cause responsible for
their existence. The benefit that the
studious one derives from them is
obviously great. A man reads a
book and carries out of it certain
number Of ideas His knowledge of
that book is not as great as if he re-
ceived the ideas of thirty readers Of
it. each Of whom views it differently
to some degree.
This is the argument the young
people make in favor of this pros
porous institution, and little reflec-
ton will show that it is not q bad one.
I dropped in during the exercises of
one of these circles during the week.
Young men and women, the maxi
mum age of whom was twenty three,
were laboring industriously over the
French rebellion, and the way that
they arranged the facts, throwing in
detail while keeping clear and upper
most the main ideas, was something
marvellous. They had been colabor-
ing for just one year and had in that
time reviewed and studied American
history and dozen works Of differ
ent standard authors. Brooklyn

A New Jersey Sweet Apple.

Nature must have been in hu-
morous mood when she made the
Sweet Greening. She has turned out
an apple which is peculiar to itself.
This variety is large and firm. Its
coat is a very pale, yellowish green,
sometimes almost white. 1t is rather
sticky, but the skin is thin and ten
der. The best way to eat it is to
rinse it in lukewarm water and bite
it off without peeling it. If peeled
and quartered it will not taste half
so good.
This variety is grown almost alto

is insufficiently taught, American
