The royalist ladies do not like the idea
of having, when invited by the Comte
and Comtesse de Paris on visits of three
days to Stowe, to bring six dressy dresses
with them. Three of the toilets are to
be worn in the day time at the rate of
one a d.y, and three in the correspond
ing evenings The entertainments at
Stowe are not very entertaining, and the
royalists have made up their minds that
nothing short of war disastrous for
France can bring royalty back. Those
who would stand the best chances of
being invited are generally hard up. A
due whose name was good deal as
sociated with that of the Due dOrleans
is, for instance, unable just yet to clear
off bill of about $500 to tradesman.
A duchess of tiptop position in the Or
leanist ranks mot the Duchess d'Uzes) is
so dipped as to be unable to marry her
daughter, she finding it impossible to
repay sums of money that she spent be-
longing to the young lady, who still be-
ing minor cannot sign a paper which
would cover her grace from being sued
by q future son-in-law. Another, from
society standpoint, still more infuen-
tial grande dame, has to borrow money
of the son-in-law of a great fnancist.
The lender takes pride in avenging
Sights put upon his race in former times
by proclaiming his generosity. She
would far prefer spending the proceeds
of loan i'll a gamble to buying six
dressy dresses for n three days visit to

THE POTTER PALMER PALACE.

her magnificent city residence will be
the social center during the fair. All the
aristocratic entertainments in Further
ance of the fair will be held there, and it
will be headquarters for the ladies in
control.
This palatial home, often called the
Potter Palmer palace in happy allitera-
ton, stands upon the lake front, just
south of Lincoln park, and its cost was
$750,000. 1t is built of graystone in the
style of a medieval castle. 1t has often
been described, and an idea of its mag
nificence may be gained from the fact
that it contains sixty-fve sleeping rooms,
besides splendid array of halls and par

The Western Union company earns
about 81, 900, 900 annually from its cleo
trio clock service, charging fifteen dol
lars year for setting each clock at noon
daily. The time sold thus profitably it
gets from the government for nothing
but anybody can have the same priv.
ilege free of charge by putting an in
strument and wire into the observa-
tory. Captain McNair, the naval officer
in charge, is anxious to furnish time
ball service to private individuals and
concerns in every seaport city, only de-
manding as condition that he shall
have return wire furnished him in Or
der that he may publish corrections in
the newspapers. Such time balls would
enable mariners to correct their chro-
nometers. 1t was chiefly for this pur-
pose, in fact, that the time service was
originally established. - Washington

COLONEL EDMUND RICE.
and colleges.

Colonel Rice has a brilliant military
record. Born in 1842, he enlisted under
the first call in 1861 and was a captain
in the Fourteenth Massachusetts before
reaching his twentieth year. AS major
of the Nineteenth Massachusetts he won
special mention for conspicuous gallant
ry at Gettysburg and came out of the
war colonel His subsequent service
in the regular army gave him special
qualifications for his present task. By
shifting his details from one part of the
grounds to another he expects to have
each man familiar with the whole
ground and able to answer any question
as to localities that visitors may ask.

GEMS IN VERSE.



Heavens best and truest handiwor!i is she,
Fashion'd in dignihed simplicity.
No meretricious gliding makes her slime,
But that pure gold whose glory is divine.
The one adornment upon which She S bent
Is this-a quiet SPIRITS ornament.
She scatters flowers of love and JOY around,
And wheresoe'er she treads is halow'd ground
To her are sacred all the ties of life,
Whether of mother, daughter, sister, wife.
She speaks of courage when life's path is dreaI
And whispers hope into the dying ear.
In such one fay ideal woman's seen
Heavens royal though perchance earth's un-
crown'd queen.
Refined, with that innate, unstudied grace,
Which changes not, whate'er the time or place
Cultured in mind, yet modest and sedate,
With learning's mere possession ne'er elate.
OF courage dauntless-one in whom the weak
With confidence may their protector seek.
Upright in all his ways To age from youth
Led by the watchwords-H God and
Truth.
Fitted frail woman's pathway to attend
AS husband, guide, companion and friend;
And fitted, too, that children's lips shoulo
frame
For him the title "father"-sacred namel
Herein is seen, form'd on heavens nobest plan
In simple dignity, my ideal man.

Donald Burns, a veteran animal trainer
of New York, will collect and have
charge of one of the most unique and un-
canny exhibits at the Worlds fair. 1t
will terrify any rum soaked individual
on the verge of delirium tremens to ap-
proach Mr.. Burns charges, for he will
look after the snakes, and snakes only.
He proposes to make this great den of
snakes, which will be placed in the Ma
tional History building, one of the most
startlingly realistic exhibitions ever
known. Already he has more than fifty
different species in readiness for the fair,
and his agents are at work all over the
world in collecting serpents.

Figures of American Animals.

Occupying prominent positions upon
pedestals on the various bridges within
The Worlds fair grounds will be large
figures of native American animals, such
as the bison, or buffalo, now nearly ex-
terminated. 1t is believed that this will
prove one Of the most attractive features
of the exposition. The modelling of these
animals has been intrusted to Edward
Kemeys and A. Phimister Proctor, both
of whom have made careful studies of
the subjects.

A GoOdlY Heritage.

My vineyard that is mine have to keep
Pruning for fruit and pleasant twigs and
leaves.
Tend thou thy corn field; one day thou shalt
reap
In joy thy ripened sheaves.
Or If thine be an orchard. graft and prop
Food bearing trees, each watered in its place;
Or If garden, let it yield for crop
Sweet herbs and herb of grace.
But If my lot be sand, where nothing grows
Nay, who has said it? Tune thankful

For, though thy desert bloom not as the rose,
1t yet can rear thy palm.

Worlds Fair Guards.

Colonel Edmund Rice, of the United
States regular army, has been detached
for the duty of commanding the guards
for the Columbian exposition, and the
force he is organizing excites the admira-
tion of all visitors. AT the opening of
the year he has less than 600 men, but
the entire force is to be $500, and they
are selected with unusual care and dis
elimination. Every man must be 8 feet
s inches high and pass a severe examina-
ton for courage, strength and intelli-
gence. In fact majority of those so
far selected are graduates of high schools
and colleges.

America.

oh, Mighty Princess, plucked from thy too
savage lord.
How beautiful thou art in thy new state!
The arms and heart of freedom gave thee grace
Thou hadst not known if thou hadst slum-
bered on.
The world indeed had never known thy like,
For there are none like thee in all the earth;
None e'er approach to thy near perfect state
Or give to grand humanity one tithe of all thy
gifts.
The strong right hand Of every son thou
claim'st
Should never be uplifted but in love for thee,
To stay or slay the base, ignoble hind
Who seeks to take thy life or do thee wrong.
Americal Bold synonym of courage and of
truth,
God give thee triumph in its noblest sense
To pattern after God indeed, IL SO might be,
And to thy earthly gifts add these
Love, justice, mercy; they will bring thee
peace,
The peace that passeth understanding" which
shall grow
Till all thy wakened shores shall feel its glew.

'Tis better to fail where another succeeded
Who sacrificed principle, honor and truth.
Too often, alas, are these virtues unheeded
To gain what is sought by the ambitious
youth.
The struggle to live. to excel one another,
To win great applause and the pleasure IT
brings,
Has made men forget both their neighbor and
brother
And placed on their humors adaptable WINGS
And then what of him who is humble, more
modest,
Who does what he can to uphold what is best2
Does he seek applause when he enters pro-
test2
Perhaps" say a few. AYE, aye" say the
rest.
Yet think of the lives that have crossed lover
yonder,"
Whose voices are hushed in that sound final
sleep
Grand lives, over which cen philosophers pom
der
What praises in life did those noble men
reapr Martin Hennessey.

Learn What All Things Mean.

Let whose will call half that is unclean,
And over mems backslidings sit and brood:
Yet have found rich colors in the mud
And hints of beauty in the dreariest scene.
/ have scant patience with that sober mood
That from the world impetuous youth would
wean.
Rather be bold, and learn what all things
mean,
Since scratches will but teach us hardihood.
Simple our knowledge is, howe'er we plod;
1t may be we should love what most we hate,
Since none have wisdom this side of the sod
And he who judges is compassionate,
For in my dusty soul found of late
The indubitable footprints of the God.

SUNSET.

Ho. sound the alarm-the western sky's on
fire;
The flames dance wildly DER each feecy spire,
Staining cloud castles with their crimson
glow,
Rejecting glory on the earth below.
But seel from out the east, faint flushed with
red,
The ghosts of darkness come with stealthy
tread;
The flames fierce progress they full soon
arrest
And quench the mighty confagration in the
west.

Coming down hill, hurry me not;
On level ground, spare me not;
Loose in the stable, forget me not.
OF hay and corn rob me not;
OF clean water stint me not;
With sponge and water neglect me not;
And soft, dry bed deprive me not.

If sick or cold, chill me not
With bit or rein, oh, jerk me not,

Now!

NOWI
II you have friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
why should good words ne'er be said
OF a friend till he is dead?
If you hear song that thrills you
Sung by any child of song,
Praise 1t. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the joy you may impart?
If you hear a prayer that moves you
By its humble, pleading tone,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of "two or three" in prayer2
If you see the hot tears falling
From a brothers weeping eyes,
Stop them, and by kindly sharing
Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should any one be glad
When brothers heart is sad2
If a silvery laugh goes ripping
Through the sunshine on his face,
Share it. "Tis wise mans saying
For both grief and joy place.
There's health and goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
If your work is made more easy
By friendly, helping hand,
Say so. Speak out bravely and truly
Ere the darkness wells the land.
Should a brother workman dear
Falter for word of cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness,
All enriching, as you go.
Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver.
He will make each seed to grow.
So until its happy end
Your life shall never lack a friend.

No NEW STEAMER THIS XEAR.-The
new ferry steamer is not to be this sea-
sou. 1t il now promised in the fall and
TO be ready for business next spring.
Superintendent Ridley has returned
from New York, where he had con-
sultation with the principal stockhold-
ers in the Washington Steamboat Com
pany. These gentlemen, it is said,
have but recently put $iG0,OG0 into the
Third Avenue railroad and are up to
their ears in Pacific Mail, and just at
present do not feel like investing fifty
or one hundred thousand dollars in
the Observation-Disclosures steamboat
business. They have made the prom
Use, though, to give the two cities NAM
ed whatever they want in the way Of
ferry facilities by next season. Mean
while the present ferry boats will be
fixed up and made to look as nice as
possible. The idea of the Washington
management of the ferry company is to
put on at least one propeller that will
bear favorable comparison with any of
the ferry boats of the country. There
IS vast amount of regular trade and
travel between Washington and Alex
andria, and, as the cities expand,
this trade must increase. For this rea-
son the management desire to keep
pace with the times and prevent the
railroads from doing all the business.

REPAIRING THE STEAMERs.-The

begun work on the old Potomac cam
ers Jane Moselv and the Lady of the
Lake, now at Washington. Tne work
is being prosecuted and the craft will
not be sent to Baltimore for their re-
pairs as was at first thought. Very lit
tie is said about the future of the old
boats, but it is morally certain that
they will leave Potomac waters. Ku-
NOR has it that they are to so to Phi
adelphia and take advantage of an
opening that is said to exist there. Ex-
tensive repairs are contemplated, and
i. will probably be quite while before
the steamers are ready to resume trav-
ell. There is in both steamers the
ground work for good craft. They
have been considerably run down, but
some new timber, energy and paint
will make them new.
