A correspondent Of the Brooklyn
Edqle says: IL have met the bride Of
Timothy J. Campbell OF New York.
She is a bright, pleasant little woman,
and Tim is a lucky fellow. am told
that the day after his wedding Mr..
Campbell, with his bride, were on the
Congressional limited coming from New
York to Washington. Upon the train
was John Chamberlain and and few
other boon companions OF Tins bache-
lor days. During the trip he joined
them in the smoker and began TO dis
cuss politics and whisky punches.
In the midst OF the session a porter
approached Mr.. Campbell and said:
Congressman, your wife wishes to
speak to you in the rear car" They
say Tin sat down upon the table full
glass of punch and rushed from the car
without asking by your leave, and that
John Chamberlain remarked as he dis
appeared: That is pretty good for a
brideof twenty-four hours. reckon she
will boss thatranch."

Imagine, then, II You please, man
like Franklin at the royal table sweet
ening his consomme, talking Of the ro-
tation of crops and putting Worcester
shire sauce on his terrapin. Now we
can do this sort of thing with lmpunity,
because we are a great nation. But at
that time, when our currency was
printed on Gordon press and our
standing army had not new pair Of
boots for six months, our American min
lister attending a loyal donkey party
with his pantaloons tied down over the
legs OF his boots TO keep the snow out
and the rabbit skin ear tabs sewed on
his Mackinaw hat would naturally in
jure the social standing Of our nation
with foreign powers.
Here dwelt Sir Bulwer Lytton, who
wrote his most celebrated poem, "Lu-
cille," on this ground. Colonel John
Hay lives across Sixteenth street, so also
does Henry Adams, grandson Of John
Quincy Adams.
Imagine, il you please, the mighty
contrast between the Washington Of the
present-full of elegance, refinement,
difficult words, settled up with nice
class of people like Mr.. Blaine-com-
pare, I say, the Washington Of to-day.

OF the old gentleman was warmly
shaken,
The lady, presenting q lad OF FIVE
years and baby girl Of two to the old
gentleman, bade them know him as
"Grandpapa," and also to the younger
gentleman, who, she said, was Uncle
Charley"
"Ah!' said the old gentleman, as he
gazed proudly on the lady, "my dear,
you were beautiful as Evelyn Eustace,
but as Evelyn Dorison you are lovely"
And young Eustace said.
@"And, father, think John is to be
complimented on his beauty too"
Happiness and sweet content of mind
are great 6eautifiers, Charley, my boy, "
replied Dorison laughlngly.
He advanced TO meet an old man with
white hair, keen, bright and restless
eyes, who presented himself with con-
torted face which Dorison knew, II on
lockers did not, was intended for a smile
OF gladness, and whose hands he grasped
warmly, saying that his homecoming
would not have been complete II he
could not have grasped the hand of him
to whom he owed the possibility OF his
happiness and prosperity.

HOLY PIGEONS AT ST. MARKS.

Before tho Fall of the Venetian Republic
They Were Sacred Birds.

1t may be Of interest to such readers as
like to sentimentalize on sacred subjects to
know that the "Holy Pigeons of St Marks"
have been recognized as such by the author
titles of Venice for more than q thousand
years-ever since SS7. In olden times 1t
was the custom of the sacristans of st,
Marks Church to release doves and pigeons,
fettered with paper, alter the religious serv-
ices on Palm Sunday. The fetters par-
TALLY disabled the poor birds, and such of
those as did not escape were caught by the
people, who fatted them for Easter dinner.
Sometimes one and sometimes dozen of
the poor futtering creatures would man
age to break the paper thongs which bound
wings and feet together, whereupon they
almost invariably sought refuge on the roof
and in the steeples of the historic old
church. All of the escaped birds assumed
q sacredness, and, it being against the law
to kill or harm them in any way, increased
to enormous numbers. During. the time of
the Republic the Sacred Pigeons of st.
Marks" became objects of national soici-
tude, tons of grain being annually supplied
for their maintenance.
Alter the fall of the Republic thousands
of them starved to death and all would have
died but for provision made by pious old

THE DENTISTS IN JAPAN.

BY Means of Their Fingers They Extract
the Most Troublesome Teeth.
Harper's Young PeopIeL
The Japanese are highly skilled workmen
in many branches of industry, and with the
simplest tools contrive to make very beau
tiful furniture, porcelains and bronzeA
They are also accomplished dentists, if the
story of traveller may be believed. 'T
was placed in bamboo chair" he said,
"and tilted slightly back. The dentist ex-
amined my teeth, talking volubly mean
while. Suddenly his thumb and fore6nger
closed on the troublesome tooth, and before
I had the taintest idea of what was going to
happen he lifted 1t out and held it up before
me, smiling at the same time that vacant
smile peculiar to the children of the Orient
"fYou were waiting for the forceps, were
you!' said the American resident, who ac-
companied him. They don't use 'em here
Look at this. Here is a young Jap taking
his first lesson in dentistry
"a 12-year-old Japanese boy sat on the
floor, having before him board in which
were q number of holes into which pegs had
been tightly driven. He was attempting
to extract the pegs with his thumb and fore
finger. AS the strength of this natural pair
of forceps developed by practice the pegs
would be driven in tighter. After couple
of years at peg-pulling, the young dentist
would be able to lift the refractory molar in
the same manner that he lifted wooden
pegs"

rauling bushmen may easily come up with
it and use their spears or clubs. Of its

fists teach that it is an evolution of the
stone axes used by all savages, and profess
to find the boomerang type in the rood
matches of Africa and other lands.
But King Bill, after he had done his
boomerang practice at Central Park, sat
down and told little story of the BOOM

tree, with queer leaves shaped like BOOM
erangs.
The sport of the black children is to skim
the dry leaves through the air and see them
return to the extended hands from which
they were sent.
Bill said that as the legend had como

exceptions to this class Of fighters, but ex.
ceptions only prove q rule.
No, the institution known a. the 'Ton-
don prize ring" is dead. So are its rules.
Here In America we have another system
OF fighting, which, while very effective,
has none of the old time brutality about it,
and Is naturally very popular. As far as
governing fighters, custom alone makes
them. John l. Sullivan was champion Of
the world for IL years. yet in that time he
was only compelled to fight three times for
the title after he had won it by defeating
Paddy Ryan at Mississippi City, February
Z, 1882, viz, with Charley Mitchell At
Chantilly, France, in 1887; with Jake Kill
rain at Richburg, Miss, in 1889. and with
your humble servant at New Orleans in
September last.
A King Without Scepter.
True, Jake Kilrain once claimed the title
"by default" 1t was never accorded him
by the people, and he was a king without q
scepter. Now, if John L. Sullivan was Der.
mitted to go his way in peace Tor four years
between each of his great battles and reap n
rich harvest during that time / think that
at least should have one year accorded me
before being compelled toleave the harvest
field and defend the championship I am
clearing now on average 81, 900 a week on
my theatrical venture, and if luckcontinues
should have 500, 900 to the good at the end
of the year.
What rank folly it is then to talk of nv
breaking contracts and throwing fortune to
the dogs to oblige Mr. Mitchell or anv other
athletic gentlemen by fighting in February
next. during the Mardi Gras season, at New
Orleans, as astute pugilistic managers have
1 admit that I seriously con-
,idered at one time meeting Mitchell at the
period mentioned solely for the pleasure of
getting the eloquent Englishman into the
ring, but gave up the IDEA alter consulting
with . friendly counselor and adviser,
honest Phil Dwyer.
Even by agreeing to meet Mitchell next
fall will make considerable of pecuniary
sacrifice. The two months of abstention
rom theatrical work which the necessities
'f training would require and the cost Of
training itself would cause q deficit Of

RUBBER HEELS ON SHOES,

'I am surprised that people who are nat

of the rubber heel to shoes. The incessant
jarring of solid heel on granitoil side
walk is calculated to drive a nervous man
half out of his mind, and to make people
nervous who never realized before that they

the ST. Louis GLOBE Democrat.
''The first attempts in the direction of
rubber heels were not wholly successful,
because, while they checked the vibration,
they did NOT last any length of time. Now,
however, it is possible to get rubber heels
which cannot be detected from leather ones
