The Habit of Keepjnc a Diary.

| Upon the whole, the habit of diary keep
ing does not deserve to be decried. If the
diary be a veracous record of public events,
| 1t may at any rate serve as an exercise in
prose writing and precis to the writer, and,
on the other hand, if the diary be merely
parochial, domestic or even personal in
tone, the same may be said of it, with this
added qualiiication-that at least in the
last case it may act in preserving human
individuality.
Among my papers and books found the
other day an old yellow brown diary of my
great great grandmother. Until that mo-
ment | had no more idea of the old lady
than of Julius CAESARS nurse. But when /
read of her journeys to and from Bath,
which she much affected, and where she
'see a great deal of Company" of her loss
on Thursday, April the second, 1867, of one
pound four shillings at cards; her payment
on April the second of one shilling and ten
pence for face wires''-whateve they may
have been, of eleven shillings on April the
thirteenth for "Chare sedan, no doubt
and Gloves" and how, on leaving Bath on
the eighteenth of April, she gave the maids
ten shillings and siXpence, and the bath
''servant"-5he was evidently a poor hand
at spelling, dear old soul-another half
guinea. Then | seem to see her dim shape
assume material tone.
For your posterity's sake, therefore, if
you think well of your own Individuality
and also that you may -, nrt of outside
view of yourself, you may ~ counseled to
keep diary; but, for goodness sake, do not
get hysterical in your condolences with it'll

when MIR. Blaine Christened a Baby.

A year ago Mr. Blaine paid visit to
Washington, Pa, and got Tousing recep-
ton from the students of his alma mater,
as well as from all the people OF Little
Wash" About three miles out from
Brownsville party of colored people were
standing in front of a little low shanty
built partly of logs and partly of frame
1t was the house of 5. X. Smith, better
known in that section of Washington
county as Sim Smith. Sims wife had a
bright little colored boy, just 3 weeks old,
and the family and the neighbors had
everything arranged to have Mr. Blaine
stop on the way and christen the young
darby. Mr.. Blaine good naturally agreed
to name the little black fellow.
The parents as well as everybody else in
terested felt sure that Mr.. Blaine would be,
stow his own name on the child, and as that
section of the country at that time abounded
In white u. G. Blaines" the colored people
thought they would be upsides with their
white neighbors But Mr. Blaine fooled
them. He looked on the little pickaninny
lying kicking in the cradle, patted its cheek
then said solemnly;
This little colored man shall be known
as Abraham Lincoln Smith"
Though disappointed in the name, Sim
was overjoyed with the ceremony, and when
Mr.. Blaine went to his carriage Sim fol
lowed him and emptied big basket of ap,

Habits ola millionaire.

Phillip u. Armour, the millionaire packer
and philanthropist of Chicago, retains
many of the simple habits of his boyhood,
which he passed on farm in New Eng
land. He rises at 3, breakfasts at 8, and by
is at his desk, where he remains until q
in the evening, His Office methods are
most democratic. The entire staff of clerks
occupy one large room, with no ratings or
glass doors to hedge off those in authority,
and Mr.. Armour himself sits among them,
at plain, fat top desk, distinguished from
the Others only by the presence there of a
small bunch of roses.-San Francisco Ar

AT THE PIANO.

Mighty melodies seem to slumber
In the potent harmony
That thy shapely hands allurement
Wakens to respond to thee.
When thy voices magic sweetness,
Silver toned, in rapture rings,
And the spirit hosts of music
Sweep along the enchanted strings,
Well for him who, hedged by distance,
Hears thy song, Beloved starl'
And can nurmur back in answer,
"Orb of light, thou art so farl"

of the mail steamer Sarnia, when seen
Saturday by the American, was about $50
miles N. e. Halifax. How much that
position has changed since is what sew

Perre went out last night and her cap
tain will bring the Sarnia to Halifax if
she sees her. The Damara from Lon

steamship is in shore as a tug cannot go
far out. steamers Lunenburg and New

Sarnia. Other steamers mentioned are
chartered by speculation. The Newfleld
and Lunenburg left this afternoon.

ierred it became necessary to have Mr..
Webb go to Boston, where he arrived at

Remarkable Troupe of Genuine Sahara
Arabs, with Ringing Bros Shows.
Travellers amid the sands of the great
Sahara have told in picturesque Ian
guage of the marvellous skill and muscu
lar agility of the desert-roving Arabs.
The strange, nomadic life of the Bed
ouins, whose history antedates the
Christian era, and whose fore fathers
conducted their caravans Of rlchly-la-
den dromedaries across Africa's great
sand sea, when the coming of Christ
was but prophecy, has always had
poetic interest for the people of civil
lied lands. Several times efforts have
been made to bring a troupe of these
rowing people to America, but hitherto
without success, and it has remained
for Ringing Bros Worlds Greatest
Shows to import and actually exhibit
troupe of genuine BedOuin acrobats.
The troupe comprises whole tribe of
1.-the, sinewy, dark-hued Saharan
Arabs They are under the dire ction
director of amuSements of the service
of the Sultan Of Morocco. Their per-
formance cannot be compared to any
act with which the American public
is familiar, because it is utterly unlike
try, Their strength and agility is as
tonishing One performer sustains
a half score of his fellows grouped in
pyramid one above the other. They
all turn double somersaults, leaping
from the ground. Their vaulting sug-
gests the flight Of birds rather than
the movements of human beings Their

One Size for Postal Cards.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 12.-Post-
master General Bissell has decided to
abandon tho three sizes OF postal cards
now in use, and substitute one size for
both single and reply cards. Specifca-
tions sent to prospective bidders for
the contract of furnishing the postal
service with cards during the next four
years call for single cards 81 by 81
inches. This is what is known as the
international size, it being used gener-
ally by the countries composing the
international postal union. The double
or reply card now in use will be contin-
ued, with the size when folded reduced
to that of the international card.
