I" She was the most stylish corpse, we
heard a woman remark the other day in
speaking of leader OF fashion lately de-
ceased, and prompted by curiosity we in
quired what went to make up stylish
corpse"
"Oh," replied the gusher, with no hes
itstion, she wore black velvet gown
with point lace trimmings, had her eye
brows penciled and cheeks rouged, be-
sides having her hair done up in the most
delightful fashion possible. Positively
to be such beautiful corpse was worth
dying for"
To our prosaic mind the solemnity OF
death seemed to have been robbed OF all
its grandeur and force by the artificial
trappings and adornment OF the complex
ion specialist, yet in this age OF fads the
time is not far of when just such caprices
may be expected, for IL fashion sets the
pace there will be, besides other modish
follies, fads in funerals that will proba-
bly, be even more ridiculous than the
Observation-Disclosures Times.

How Oscar wilde Was Named.

The Ossianic Society was literary
coter.e in the Irish capital. DR.. Wilde
(afterward Sir William) was a member of
she Ossianic and he was one day talking
with John O'Duffy on a work which the
society was about to produce. :" The Ad-
ventures OF Oscar Of the Fiery Flail."
Itso happened that that very morning
Mrs. Wilde had become the mother OF a
son, and DR.. Wilde, thinking and think
ing all day by whet name the infant
should be christened, finally consulted
o'Duffy upon the point. O'Duffy gave
answer, "Why not call him Oscar OF
the Fiery Flailf'" And such is said to
be the true and authentic story OF the
naming of Mr.. Oscar Wilde.-Dublin

terday.
condition of the lands involved in case
the Presidents veto was sustained.
Mr.. Sanders replied IL the veto was
sustained the ownership Of the land would
remain as 1t now was.
Mr.. Teller argued In support of the bill.
The claim, he said, had been before Con-
gress and the departments for many years
and there was no excuse for the failure OF
any man in public life to understand the
question thoroughly. There had been
fifteen reports made in either House rec
ognizing the claim, while there had been
q less number made rejecting It,. The
least two secretaries of the interior as
valid. II had had the recognition OF
President Lincoln, who signed a patent
for 1t, which patent by some fraudulent
contrivance was cancelled and kept from
the knowledge Of McGarrahan for many
years. The morning hour expired and
d the bill went over.
The Senate then resumed consideration
OF the anti-option bill, and Mr.. George
continued his speech in favor OF It. He
spoke for over two hours, but had
not finished when he yielded for other
business. The anti-option bill went over
without action.

naval affairs, reported back without

A DELICATE SUBJECT.

Speaker Crisp stiil Declines to Say Any
thing About that Dinner.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Speaker Crisp
was seen yesterday, but still declined to
say anything about the Reform Club din
ner. Little doubt Is entertained that he
has received q letter Of some sort from Mr.
K. Ellery Anderson In reference to Mr.
Anderson's failure to call on him for q
speech, but Mr.. Crisp himself will not say
whether or not he has received any COM
munication from Mr.. Anderson and re-
fused to discuss the incident, taking the
ground that the subject Is q delicate one
and that 1t would be improper for one OF
the parties concerned to make comment
on 1t.
1t may be, however, that In view of the
general publication given the embarrass-
ing affair, Mr.. Crisp Wills 'decide to make
public the text of any explanation he has
received from Mr.. Anderson or any other
person connected with the dinner, and In
the words OF diplomacy-"regard the in
cident as closed"

Daniels. Cornell A. Co.

One of the most solid of our business
institutions is the well-known firm of
Daniels, Cornell a. Co., the wholesale
grocers, holding forth in the extensive es-
tablishment, from 20 to 80 Custom House
street. There can be found at all seasons
of the year one of the most varied and
select stocks of choice. staple and fancy
groceries that are ever offered for sale In
in Providence. The firm makes no spec
ial effort to secure the holiday trade, as
IL is popularity called, but confines its
efforts to ministering to and retaining its
patrons the year round. Perhaps IL carries
"A larger stock duringthe holidays than at
other times during the year because even
in the wholesale grocery business the inn
petus of this season is felt. The necessi
ties of life are here seen in endless pro-
fusion. The stores are filled with tierce
and hogshead and barrel and firkin,
canned goods aud the various condiments
that make many of these things attrac-
tive and palatable.

Nhife nnuae Hufter.

All sorts Of things are expected OF the
Presidents wife, as is true also OF the
wives OF ministers. A novel illustration
is mentioned in the recent biography OF
Mrs. James X. Polk. The incident oc-
Cured during the presidential campaign
which resulted in Mr.. Polk's election and
Mr.. Clay's defeat.
A Tennessee woman remarked to q
friend OF Mrs. Folks that she hoped Mr..
Clay would be elected because Mrs.
Clay was a good housekeeper and made
fine butterW
A little passage-at- arms followed, and
the conversation was duly reported TO
Mrs. Polk. She was amused, and sent a
playful reply to Mr.. Clay's partisan, TO
the effect that IL she should be fortunate
enough to reach the White House she
should try to live within the Presidents
salary, and not be obliged to make her
own buttcr.-Youth's Companion.

Regarding Imported Rags.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Secretary Fos-
ter, Assistant Secretary Spaulding and
Surgeon General Wyman OF the marine
hospital service, gave q hearing at the
treasury department to committee rep
resenting merchants in New York, Phila-
delphia and Boston interested in the i'm
portation OF rags.
They asserted that the danger Of infec-
tion from the importation OF rags is great I.
ly exaggerated and that cholera bacilli
could not possibly exist in the dry condi-
tion In which they are imported. They
contend that the existing regulations pro-
hibiting the admission Of all rags from
infected ports Is unnecessarily severe and
could readily be modified ip the interests
of American dealers without in the least
increasing the danger to the country OF
the introduction OF cholera.
Secretary Foster promised to consider
their representations and to do the best
he could for all concerned.

Meets with General Approval.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 15.-The Senate and
House committees on immigration held q
joint meeting yesterday and discussed the
bill introduced by Senator Chandler to
suspend immigration. A member OF the
House committee said that the bill seemed
to meet with the approval OF most OF
those present. IL was shown by commu-
nications received from experts that IL
would be positively necessary to suspend
immigration for period in order to keep
the cholera out OF this country next year.
The Joint committee took no action on
the bill, but adjourned till tomorrow,
when the representatives OF the great
steamship lines will be heard.
