curiosity was excited to see if women

purchase, and as soon as she got her
change she handed her friend five cents,
which was received without the slight

''Then they went into q restaurant to

Of my observations been men instead OF

ordered that dinner for both and paid

tics as duck takes to water. Born In
Mansfield, Conn, Feb. is, 1S42, he was
educated in Albany, whittier his parents
removed when he was but seven years
old.
At the age of sixteen the lad who had
evinced remarkable aptitude for writing
argumentative articles began his jour-
nalistic work by contributing editorials
to the Albany Evening Transcript. He
was graduated from Union college at
nineteen and was soon after appointed on
the staff of General Rathbone, where for
two years he did good work in organ
izing the New York volunteers for the
war. He then taught for q brief period
In the Albany academy. During all this
time he continued to write for the papers
and in 1865 his active newspaper work
commenced when he assumed the editor
ship Of the Albany Express. For i've
years he remained with The Express,
although during a part Of that time he
also acted as private secretary to Gov
ernor Fenton.
In 1870 Mr.. Smith became coeditor OF
the Albany Journal, and upon the re-
tirement of his associate, George Daw-
son, in 1875, he was given entire charge.
Several years later he accepted the po-
sition Of editor In chief Of the Philadel-
phia Press.
Mr.. Smith was in 1874 presidentof the
New York State Press associations. II
Is said that he wrote the greater part of
many Of the New York Republfcaz,

to the national convention at Cincinnati
He has always been identified proani-
nently with educational matters, and he
has held several important positions Of
honor in that connection. His appoint
ment by President Harrison as minister
to Russia in place OF Allen Thorndike
Rice, whose death occurred on the eve of
his intended departure for his distant
post, created little surprise, inasmuch as
Mr.. Smiths warm personal relations
with Secretary of State Blaine had led
his friends to anticipate such result.

TIE IRISH SHAMROCK

Not long ago an Irish soldier in the British army was punished for wearing shamrock in his buttonhole on St. Patrick's day. The Irish members in the house of commons brought the mat. ter before parliament. The Tory ministry made the ridiculous excuse that the man was punished, not for wearing the shamrock, but for refusing to throw it away when ordered to do SO by an officer.
 The home rulers have taken action on the report that Lord Wolseley, the com mander in chief of the army in Ireland, himself wore shamrock on St. Pat rick's day, and that his personal staff did the same thing. Yesterday they interrogated the government as to why an action which was treated as crime in the case of an Irish private should pass unnoticed in the case of British general. The official known as the secretary of state for war replied by denying that Wolseley did wear the shamrock of St. Patrick's day. He added, however, that the commanding general and his staff were at perfect liberty to do so if they wished. This may be taken as an indication that the ministry would like to back out of the scrape gracefully.
 The folly of the military authorities in punishing an Irish soldier for wear ing his country's symbol on his breast on the day of Ireland's patron saint is manifest. The Irish regiments have always ranked among the best fighting organizations of the British army. Some of England's most important vc- tories have been won through the splendid dash and daring of the Irish troops.
 At a period when Celtic Ireland is q init in demanding independence in To- cal aGiirs from English control, when the spirit of insubordination has spread among the English army to such an ex- tent that even the petted and trusted grenadier guards have mutinicd against the commands of their officers, the ac- ton of tho English army officials in punishing m Irish soldier for showing in an ino!fensivc manner his loyalty to his native land, was peculiarly unwise and Ill timed.

 In the course of the trial of the man who has been selling sham decorations in France, some curious instances have come to light of combined vanity and meanness. The swindler's plan was to get what he could from his victims for his pretended orders of the Lion and Sun of Persia. One tradesman who had made money and was anxious to make a tore in society with bit of colored r55on in his buttonhole actually con cluded bargain by which he was to have the distinction for the valuable consideration of barrel of cider.--Lon- don Telegraph.
