bankers daughter who disappeared
Friday afternoon and for whom half the
town had been searching the
woods since, returned home at
O'Clock tonight. She walked in as
though nothing had happened. 1t was
nearly an hour before she would
answer any question, and then said !:
81 was exceedingly miserable when 1
left home, and went because wished
to be alone. That's ALL" After this
she chatted and talked nationally with
friends upon the subject. 1t is believed

True Culture.

An admirable observation regarding cul-
ture is given by Mr.. Mallock is these words:
1 don't call a woman cultivated who
bothers me at dinner first with discussing
this book and then that-whose one per-
petual question is, Have you read So-and-
SO? But l call woman cultivated who
responds and who knows what mean as
we pass naturally from subject to subject
who by flash or a softness in her eyes,
by slight gesture of the hand, by a sigh,
by flush in the cheek, makes me feel as /
talk of some lovely scene, that she, too,
could love it-as speak of love or sorrow,
makes me feel that she herself has known
them; as speak of ambition or ennui or
hope or remorse or loss Of character,
makes me feel that all these are not mere
names to her, but things.

the Great Northern road, but
he did not go there, and it is now sup
posed he has gone to some mines in
which he is interested in the Olympic
mountains above Lilliwaup falls,
and is either snowbound there or
has been lost in the woods. He was of
good habits; his domestic relations are
known to be happy, his accounts we're
all right and the only other theory to

n1arve,s on a Grain of Rice.

A calgraphist, who is native of Hong
Kong, executed a work of patience for the
like of which we may search in vain the
annals of Chinese industry. 1t is an orig
inal poem, written in thirty-three Chinese
characters, without authorizations, on a
single grain of rice. The letters are SO fine
that they can hardly be distinguished by a
magnifying glass. This poetic grain OF
rice has been offered to one of the princes
of the imperial family. y.-Siecle.

THE MIJARES AFFAtR.

The Steamer Philadelphia with the
Refugee on Board Arrives at Quar-
antine, New York-Story OF the Affair.
QUARANTINE, ST., November 49,
The Red I'D" steamship philadelphia
dropped anchor of quaraptine at $3.50
o'clock tonight. Among the passengers
from La Guayra was Senior Miiares,
lately Governor of Caracas, Venezuela.
Senior Mijares has got 1he Red sd"
steamship line into trot ble and In
cidentally has caused the United States
Government at Washington some IN
easiness. The story of the Phila-
delphia's eventful trip is as follows:
At Curacuro the Philadelphia took on
board Senior Mijares, who was In exile.
As Mijares had BEEN Governor OF Cara
cas- under the old government, he lied
the country to save himself from pun
ishment and landed in Curaearo. MI
jares embarked for New York on the
philadelphia, which arrived at La
Guayra November 10. 1t was the In
tention OF Captain Chambers to get his
passengers and mails and steam away
for New York the same day, but when
the Venezuelan authorities learned
that Sehor Mijares was on
board they demanded that be be dellV-
cred to them. Captain Chambers re-
piled that Mijares was regular pass
enger on board an American ship and
was entitled to the protection OF the
American flag. The register OF the
Philadelphia had been deposited in the
Custom House as required by the laws
Venezuela. When Captain Chambers
refused to deliver up Mijares the author
tiles gave notice that they could keep
the ships register and thus prevent her
from sailing.
x P. C. Hanna, American Consul at La
Guayra, declared that if the Custom
House refused TO give up the register he
would dispatch the vessel with consul
lar certificate. The argument OF the
Venezuelan government was that Mia
