Men become old, but they never be-

ABOUT WOMEN.

Sarah Bernhardt has left Russia full
of disrespect for everybody from the
Car I'D. The Russians do not like her
much, either, and maybe that accounts
for it.
Countess Tolstoi is an Industrious
woman. She makes hektograph cop es
of her husbands books under ban in
Russia) and circulates them. She is
the mother of nine children. TolStoi is
himself a great worker. He can do
much NOR than write books.
There are quite a number OF women
in New York who earn their living by
taking in "baby boarders." These lit
tie tenants are anything but burden
to their foster parents, many OF whom
are widows and old maids who have
passed the frivolous age, and get
great deal Of comfort out Of baby
guest.
Mrs. W. II. Vanderbilt sent once for
a sexton's assistant, who was known to
possess q kind heart and attentive ear
to poor peoples woes, and told him
whenever he knew Of cases Of deaths
where the relatives or friends were un-
able to bear the expenses OF funerals to
bury them, attend to all details and for
ward the bills to her.

&c rnnRrH AssrsrANr
To the Postmaster General-He Is the
Man Who Handles the Patronage.


WAsmNeToX, d. c., March TO-
The news OF the nomination OF Mr..
Robert A. Maxwell TO be fourE assistant
postmaster general was not unexpected.
This is the great patronage Office OF the
administration, and the selection OF the
man 10 ill the place has more than us
ual significance from political stand
poiut. Perhaps Gen. Stevenson, the
Vice President, was more widely known
on account of his administration oil the
patronage Of the postofices throughout
the country than from any one cause
At that time the pOstotiices were under
the first assistants Office, but now
all that is changed, and all the
postoffices OF the country both
of the presidential classes and the
fonrth class, are under the fourth assist
ant. The patronage Of the place IS
treat. and il was remarked by the poll
tieiaps to-day that the appointment OF
Mr. Maxwell meant that Mr.. Hill and
his friends in New York State would
NOT have much show when the distribu-
tion of the post offices began, and IL Is
probable that there will not be 3 great
deal OF delay ia this respect.
Mr.. Maxwell is O resident of Batavia,
n. V, and a man OF means, having
amassed considerable money as mails
ter. from which business he retired
some years ago. For twenty years ne
has been prominent in the politics OF
New York and is recognized as Demo-
crat OF the old school.
Mr.. Maxwell was one OF the ieadlng
spirits in the anti-snapper convention
and has long been the warm personnel
friend OF Mr.. Cleveland and Postmaster
General Bissell. About a year ago Mr..
Maxwell was removed from the Office or
state insurance commissioner by Gov.
Flower, and at the time il was charged
that his removal was due TO Mr.. Max
wells friendlineSS for Mr.. Cleveland.
The post he will fill will be similar TO
that formerly occupied by Vice-Presl-
dent Stevenson and now TO be vacated
by Mr.. Z. q. Rathbone, Of Ohio.
