Moulson of England, whose maiden
name was Anne Radcliffe, took a live in

founded In the New World, and sent

benefit. This legacy was overlooked until

Iido First.

This is a true bill. IL was raining one
afternoon early In the week. The sidewalk,
as far as you could see, was rooted with
umbrellas Ii was dismal enough. Halt
ing on a corner TO watch the panorama,
saw marching majestically through the
ruck one of those ponderous and pompous
females of i'll concealed middle age, with
much powder, gay brocade, neat booting
and the inevitable bell bespangled pug dog.
She had diamonds in her ears and how she
had fitted her yellow gloves over SO many
and such giant rings was a mystery. Be-
side her toddled a haxen haired child. 4
years old maybe. She was fully up to her
mothers standard In the matter of dress
and was as pretty as a picture withal.
The toddler picked her way independent
ly along the dirty pavement until the gor-
geous creature whom she called mamma
and her SNUG faced rival whom mamma"
called Fido stopped at the muddy crossing.
Then she looked up. expecting to be car
ried or piloted across Mamma" gathered
up her sumptuous skirts. got firm grip on
them and then paused, looking from dog to
baby and back again three or four times
and then at the expanse Of mud. Then she
stooped-corset or no corset grabbed the
handle OF Fido's shawl strap aud sailed on
blandly across the street.
When she set Fido down, sweet and
clean, the baby daughter was still picking
her timid way among people and vehicles,
until broad shouldered young man picked
her up and finished the journey for her.
Mamma thanked him with a smile. which
carefully concealed the teeth, and he lifted
his hat and passed on.

Others IL UnknowE.
GnERNPoRT, N. ", Dec. 7.-There are
two wrecked vessels of the coast near
Mattituck. Both vessels went ashore
during q snowstorm. One vessel is the
sour-masted brig-rlgged ship Solario,
bound from New York to New Bedford,
Mass. She sailsd from New York on
thursday and encountered rough weather
ON Saturday and continued TO be storm
beaten until she went on the rocks at
o'clock Tuesday night. On Sunday night
II looked for a time as though 1t might
clear. and the crew, who were almost worn
out. thought they were safe.
The storm Of Saturday and Sunday had
washed the seas over her decks until they
were coated with ice. The ice had formed
In the ropes and lines aud 1t was almost
impossible to work the ship. The mems
clothing were also crusted with Ice. The
mems fingers and ears were baaly nipped
by the frost. Shortly before midnight on
Sunday the snowstorm set tn SO thickiy
that 1t was almost impossible for TO see
the length Of the ship.
Daylight gave no relief. The ice had
been growing thicker, and by 10 o'clock
the storm had SO increased that it was
then impossible to make out land, al
though it was known to be close by. Cap
tain Morse vainly tried to wear the ship
around to avoid beaching. but being
caught In more than usual hard blow,
was carried on the rocks. He thinks the
Solario's bottom was stove In when she
first struck.
Before striking the rocks the crew had
terrible experience. The wind drove the
cutting snow into their faces until 1t was
impossible to face the storm. The efforts
OF the rescuers were made difficult by the
ice which encrusted the clothing worn by
them. All the crew are safe and have
started for New York.
The second wreck lies on the shoal op-
posite Worthwhile beach. What ship it is,
or what the fate OF those on board. is un-
known. Distress signals were seen off
where the wreck was discovered yesterday.
1t is believed the wreck Is that OF a
schooner.
She lies high on the rocks about a mile
distant from the Solario. The wreckage
lines the shore for miles along the coast.
The unknown schooner seems to have been
laden with lumber. 1t is just possible
that the crew may have been rescued by
some passing ship or that some of the
members may have safely reached land.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Among the most valuable presents
received by the Princess Marie Louise,
of Parma, wife of Prince Ferdinand of
Bulgaria, is a superb diadem from the
women of the country over which she
is to rule. 1t contains five magnificent
clusters of diamonds in the shape of
Bourbon lily.
-Ex-Gov. McGrath of South Caro-
lima, who died at Charleston recently
past eighty years old, was United
States district judge for his state in
1860, and his resignation the day after
the election of Abraham Lincoln as
president was the first act openly sig
nificant of the secession already deter
mined upon.
The plume of the prince of Wales,
worn on state occasions, is said to be
worth $4,000. The feathers, an En-
glish writer says, are pulled from the
tail of the feriwah, one of the rarest
and most beautiful birds of India.
Great expense and trouble are neces-
sary to capture the bird, which is found
only in the widest jungles. The feath-
ers are taken from the live cock.
Judge Benjamin Patton, of Hicks
vile, o., is said to enjoy the distinction
of being the only surviving office hold
er appointed by Andrew jackson. Judge
Patton is eighty-four years old, and
was a conspicuous political factor in
his day. He was intimately acquaint-
ed with jackson, Clay, Calhoun and
Buchanan, and was one of the most ad
vanced of the Jacksonian democracy.
Prof. Paine, of Bangor theological
seminary, infused an unusual amount
of originality and freshness into an ad
dress TO a new pastor at a recent ordi-
nation. Among other good things he
said: Nowadays the ministry is get
ting into the following state: First
chapter-The minister wants to run
things. Second chapter-He is run
ming things. Third chapter-He is run
out!'
1t is stated that the first Mrs. Rider
Haggard was a Miss Carroll, of Balti-
more. She was divorced from the En-
glish novelist, and is now living on the
Pacific coast with third husband. A
further bit of information is that this
initial Mrs. Haggard, nee Carroll, is the
original of the writer's remarkable ere
ation-the terrible and ageless beauty,
''She-who must be obeyed," is an
American woman!
Secretary Gresham is said to be as
democratic as Jackson in his official
methods, and, of course, a prime favor
lite with newspaper men. No divinity
hedges him about. He is willing to see
and talk to anybody who has anything
to tell or wishes to be told anything,
He makes no special point of this, and
regards it as perfectly natural. 1t is
seldom that he is interviewed without
being in turn an interviewer.

COLORADO has subterranean lake of
considerable extent, covered with soil
about eighteen inches deep. On the
soil is cultivated field of corn, which

an open body of water on which &C
cumulated vegetable matter, which
has been increased from time to time,

strong and rich to produce fine corn.

his heel and coming down suddenly
can see the growing corn shake around
him. Anyone having sufficient strength
to drive a rail through the crust will
find on releasing it that it will disap-

QUEEN VICTORIA is said to be lover
of flowers, but her table decorations
are of the simplest. A few bowls Of
roses or other simple blossoms, cut in
the beautiful gardens at Old Windsor,
and the rest of the decorations laid
upon the table in plain glass troughs,
straight and curved, and of quite
cheap and ordinary kind, constitute as
a rule the whole adornment of the
royal dinner-table, the only notable
exception being the magnificent silver
gilt punch-bowl which stands in the
state dining-room, and is crowned with
flowers on great occasions. For ordi-
nary dinner parties the queens table is
decorated with excellent taste but
great simplicity.

Unwise Economy.

Whatever else you hoard, do not in

The cost of these when perfectly new

should tacks taken up when you remove
carpets from the floor for the annual

a second use. A new paper of tacks
should be used whenever a carpet is re-
laid. I once knew woman who made

PENSION FOR LOSS OF HAIR.

Representative Tarsney of Missouri
created a sensation in the house a few
weeks before the adjournment of the
last session of congress by declaring that
under Raum's administration of the
pension Office pensions had been granted
for no other disability than loss of hair.
Republican members of the house
upon Mr. Tarsney to give the name Of
his informant, and the next day Raum
sent a letter to Representative Circuit of
Vermont, officially denying that a pen
sion had ever been allowed for badness,
and again Mr. Tarsney was asked to give
his informants name. Mr. Tarsney re-
piled by saying that his informant was
an employee of the pension Office and
would at once be dismissed if his name
were mentioned. He added, however,
that he believed the statement to be true,
and said:
'T make this pledge to the house;
that at the very first opportune moment
it can be safely done, shall by the files
and records of that office, prove the
truth of my informant's statements, or
hold him up to the scorn of the house
and the country as faisifier, char
acter do not believe he deserves"
Two days before the Inauguration of
President Cleveland DIR Warren Holt,
Of Missouri, medical examiner in the
pension office, was dismissed under the
charge of having given false informa-
ton to Representative Tarsney. Now
for the sequel: Recently, quite acct
dentally, a case was discovered that
proved Mr. Tarsney's statement to have
been strictly true and the Dismissal of
DR. Holt to have been unjust, and he has
been reinstated. The case is that of
Allen G. Peck, of Co H, First Rhode
Island, light artillery, who was allowed
pension October 10, 1891, to be dated
from March /, 1884, of 81 month, the
only disability alleged being Gloss of
hair; result of typhoid fever" Whether
there are other men drawing pensions
for badness remains tc be seen, but MI
Peck will draw no more money on that
account.
