Julia Ward Howe To-Day.

A gentleman who recently met Julia
Ward Howe for the first time was so
carried away by her brilliancy that he
described her to friend as "wonder-
full" "Her faculties" said he, "are as
alert as if she were just entering the
prime of life, and if her gait is some
what impaired in firmness and agility,
she holds herself erect and moves
about with dignity.
"Talk? She can talk fuently and in
terestingly on any topic under the sun.
If you attempt to argue, she over
whelms you with an array of facts.
Not that she means to make you feel
uncomfortable; she is the gentlest and
the most courteous woman ever met,
and is especially charming when she
indulges in "reminiscences. You know
she has talked to men and women who
have made history, and by her graphic
faculty of portraying their character
istics would make Boswell envious.
And such a inguist! She speaks
several modern languages fuently,
talks ancient Greek like Sappho and
modern Greek-like native. She has
son-in-law who is Greek, you know,
and with his assistance she has master.
ed Romaic. She is still interested and
enthusiastic in all sorts of charities, as
if she had lifetime to give to them,
instead of having already devoted a
beautiful career to the accomplishment
of philanthropic enterprises"

WHAT ALLIED HIM.
The Boy the Boat Was in Bad WAY
but Relief Came.

1t was on Staten island ferryboat
coming up to town, says NJ. Quad il
the n. Y. World. All of a sudden 8
boy about ten years old, who was ap
parently alone, began to weep. Il
was sort of silent weep, with his
hands crossed on his stomach and his
something allied him to start the tears
in that fashion. He sat next to me anC
[ asked him in a fatherly way:
"What's the matter with you, bub-
feel sick?"
He nodded his head in the affirma
tive, and then shook it in the negative
and his back bumped up little more
and his tears increased in number. By
this time he had attracted geseral at
tention and a man who didn't know
beans about a boy came up and said:
Il know what ails this kid-he's rur
away from home somewhere. Wonder
if there's an officer on this boat?"
The boy now began to sob, and {
woman came over and sized hirl up
and remarked:
Hes just homesick-that'sa all. La
but I've seen my Reuben break dow1
and cry like baby if he had to g
away from me one single hour"
"What't that boy blubbering about?'
demanded red-faced man as he go
up and folded up his paper. Has any
one been abusing you, bub? If SO, jus
point him out"
"Bub" was now going it strong
waving to and.fro and groaning anC
crying, and woman with bundle
in her hand came up, fixed her glance
at me, and said:
Somebody's probably tried to rot
him just because he's boy. If sucl
is the case somebody ought to be ar
rested and sent to prison. Bub, ha
anybody got your money away?"
He first nodded and then shook hi
head and a young man with a very
high collar and very little cane sage
ly observed:
"From what l am able to observe
should thay that the kid has come
down with the gripth. That's abou
the way wath attacked"
"Bub, did any one threaten o.
abuse youP" kindly inquired youns
lady as her glasses fell off her nose.
The boy nodded and every body nov
looked straight at me as the guilty
party. / was about to get up ant
make a denial and ask for court O
inquiry, when a brisk-looking littl
man stepped up, felt of the boys pulse
Strengthened him up and asked:
"BOy, what have you been eatin!
this morning?"
"Ches-chestnuts!" he gasped.
"What else?"
"Ap-apples!"
"What else?"
Some raisins!"
"Um! What's this in your pocket?
He pulled out half-eaten raw tur
nip and brown paper with five or 81.
dates in it, and as he looked around h
remarked:
Il thought so when first saw him
he's got a case of collie. Who's got an,
whisky?"
The young man with lisp hat
some, and in five minutes the boy
tears had all disappeared and he wa
looking around for the other half O
that turnip.
"Weu," said the woman who hat
first come up, q knew it was eithe
homesickness or the collie. It's abou
the same thing with a boy. If h
didn't have something of the kind t,
scare folks half to death he would't b.
happy. I'd like to be his mother fol
about three minutes and have a goo(
thick shingle handy by!"

The Oldest Troglodytes Ever Found

The most remarkable of all the ante
diluvian human skeletons as yet un-
earthed three just discovered near
Mentone may be found to be. Just
east of and above the health resort of
Mentone the railroad passes through a
tunnel. The western exit of the tun-
mel is on French soil, the eastern on
Italian soil. Near the latter there are
number of quarries, in one of which
the entrance to a cave was uncovered
few weeks ago. The cave was filed
with black earth, of a kind not known
at present in the neighborhood. A
few feet beneath the surface three
skeletons were found lying close to-
gether, one male and two female.
They are almost perfect, but few bones
being injured or lost. The male skei-
eton, without the head, which was
broken in taking out, measures eight
feet, which would be, with the head,
upward of nine feet. The female skel-
etons are seven feet long-one foot
less than the male. The neck of the
male has chain of teeth about it. An
other chain made of very small bones
was found, along with different stone
weapons and tools. The stones are
not cut or ground in any way, but as
found in nature. These people are be-
lieved to have lived long time before
those found seven and nine years ago
in caves of the same range of mount
aims, and which were at the time be-
lieved to have lived twelve to fourteen
| thousand years ago.

Few people who have followed the evidence
taken by lhe House committee engaged in in
vestigating the Pension Bureau have any doubt
as to what the verdict will be. Guilty as
charged. will certainly be the report Of the COM
mittee, which will undoubtedly recommend the
dismissal of Commissioner Raum for misman-
agement and general ineficiency. 1t is doubt
full, however whether Mr.. Harrison will have
backbone enough to dismiss Raum on the eve of
the national campaign. Secretary Noble may
| find himself in danger OF impeachment if he
persists in his refusal to allow the committee to
examine the papers relating to the dismissal of
certain special pension examiners.
| The House Commerce committee propose to
look into the Reading Coal Trust, with a view
to recommending Congressional action. The
democrats in the House are not afraid of trusts
if member of Cabinet is big stockholder in it.
The House will probably pass the River and
Harbor bill. which it is now considering. this
| week.

DIR. Holmes on Dragging Skirts

The Professor at the Breakfast Ia
BILE: "Our landlady's daughter is a
young lady of some pretensions to
gentility. She wears her
trains very long, as the great ladies do
in Europe. To be sure, their dresses
are so made only to sweep the tapes
tried floors of chateaux and palaces, as
those odious aristocrats of the other
side do not go dragging through the
mud in silks and satins, but, forsooth,
must ride in coaches when they are in
full dress. 1t is true that, considering
various habits of the American people,
also the little accidents which the best
kept sidewalks are liable to, lady
who has swept a mile of them is not
exactly in such a condition that one
would care to be her neighbor.
Why, there isn't beast or bird
that would drag its tail through the
dirt in the way these creatures do their
dresses. Because queen or duchess
wears long robes on great occasions a
maid-of-all-work or a factory girl
thinks she must make herself a nuis-
ance by trailing through the street,
picking up and carrying about with
her-pah! That's what | call getting
Vulgarlty into your bones and marrow.
x If any pam walk behind one
of these women and see what she rakes
up as she goes, and not feel squeam-
ish, he has a tough stomach. l would
not let one of 'em into my room without
serving 'em as David served Saul at
the cave in the wilderness-cut off his
skirts, sir! cut off his skirts!
Il suggested that 1 had seen some
