didn't say anything, but she no doubt
kept up diligent thinking, and one day
she said: Dearie, hate to have you go
in town to get shaved; it keeps you up
late and gives you such headaches. Bring
me out razor and I'll shave you
"Of course hooted at the idea, but she
persisted and claimed she was far more
intelligent than the average barber, be-
sides being equally talkative, so l finally
humored her by getting nice case of
razors. Well, sir, she cut me slightly
only once or twice and can now shave
me like an expert. Did you ever see

IN GENERAL.
Mr.. Bryant's Books.

Miss Julia S. Bryant, the younger
daughter of the poet, has presented to
the trustees of the Tilden trust nearly
1000 volumes selected from her fathers
library at Roslyn. To the books were
added some interesting old pamphlets
and several medallions taken from the
same collection. In reply to their reso-
lutions gratefully acknowledging this do
nation the trustees have received the fol-
lowing letter from Miss Bryant, dated
Paris, Nov. "a, and addressed to the Hon.
John Bigelow, president of the trust:
was much gratifed by receiving yes
terday your very kind letter, and with it
the copy of the resolutions of thanks
from the Tilden trust for my gifts to the
Tilden library. 1t is indeed source Of
pleasure to me to know that these works
are where they will be especially valued
as having formed part of my fathers
library at Roslyn; that they will be well
cared for, and that they will belong to
ar institution which has my warmest
sympathies.
Should the trustees desire it, l may
later be able to make very considerable
additions to my gift from the books and
articles collected by my father and left
to me. He had great regard for Mr..
Tilden, who was one of his oldest and
most trusted friends, and l am sure that
he would have been glad to have his
name associated, even in this modest
way, with Mr.. Tildens in such a noble
enterprise.-Critic.

returned Ldter-The Sarnia was sighted
on Monday 256 miles off Halifax. Her after
crank was broken, but she managed to
make Halifax harbor under her own steam.
She was accompanied to port by the gov
eminent steamer Newfeld that had been
sent in search OF her. The British steamer
Coventry, which arrived at Bremen last
Monday, reported passing two lifeboats
floating keel upwards, which bore the
name Naronic. The mast and oars of the
lifeboats had been dashed together and at
tached to the painter and then thrown over
board as sea anchor to keep the boats
head up to the wind and sea. Judging from
appearances, neither of the boats had been
long adrft. The position of the drifting
boats was about south by southwest of
Sable island, on the banks of Newfound-
land. A vessel which passed Deal, Monday,
signaled that she had on board eleven
shpwrecked people, and the White Star
officials say there is "a strong probability
that they are part of the crew of the Ma
ronic.

COnjugal Wisdom.

"She who ne'er answers till her husband cools,
Or. If she rules him. never shows she rules
Is a type of wife happily becoming common
in these days, when women may have good
health, cheerful dispositions strong nerves
and clear minds, simply through the use OF
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Before
the reputation and use of this remedy became
worldwide, irritable, cross, nervous, debil-
itated women, suffering with displacements,
hysteria, and every female disease, were the
rule rather than the exception. The " Fa-

Society SuperstitiOns.

One Of our society girls who was mar
ried recently had her wedding gown
made by ''swell" modiste in the empire
style. One of her dearest friends told
her that it would be an i'll omen to wear
it, as it was so closely allied to the great
Napoleon's divorced wife. This was too
much for the superstitious bride elect,
and she ordered an entirely new bodice
to be made.
In these days of uncertainty things
which bring i'll luck are not desirable,
and, like being married in black and
turning back after you have once started
on your honeymoon, are best avoided

A Bad RECORD.

Roach, the Newly Elected Senator from
North Dakota. Charged with Wrecking
Bank.
WILLIAM N. ROACH the newly-elected
democratic senator from North Dakota, is
charged in New York with being an EN-
bezzler 1t is said that between 1877 and 1879,
while cashier OF the Citizens National Bank
of New York city, he, by systematic pilfer-
ing, robbed the bank of S64 600, and finally
fled to avoid detection. The matter will be
brought to the attention Of the senate.
Since his flight from New York, Roach has
been one Of the high y-ssteemed citizens OF
North Dakota. He had accumulated there
a comfortable property, and had been a
candidate on the democratic ticket for con-
gress and twice for governor, without sus-
picion having been entertained by the men
who trusted him that his record was any
thing but clear. His election bids fair to
make one of the largest political scandals in
this country for many years.

Its Repeal Urged.
AMONG the presidents callers, last
Wednesday, was a delegation of Episcopal
ministers, composed Of Bishops Paret of
Maryland, Potter of New York, Whitaker

Their mission was in reference to the Chi

extremely harsh, and worked injury to
American interests in China The attention
of the President was called particularly to
the missionary interests in China, with in
formation that their lives and property
might be jeopardized in retaliation for the
injurious effects the law would work to the
Chinese. Mr.. Cleveland told the delegation
that he was to a great extent powerless in
the matter, because he was bound to carry
out the law, but he promised to do what he
could.

hers, and took it to Huntington. She did
not claim that Mr.. Bates had any interest
in the child, but she wanted to get rid Of it,
and thought he would care for it.
