Good looking well dressed. well bred,
well balanced and well educated are the
commendatory, IL unenthusastic. express
sions usually applied TO Miss Helen Gould,
the richest young woman In America.
Not even the fact OF her enormous wealth
leads people to call her beautiful, but on
the other hand even green-eyed envy
cannot call her homely She is dark
haired, hazel-eyed young woman, with
an earnest, sensible expression OF counte-
nance, an easy and rather distinguished
carriage and perfect self-possession.
She has inherited from her father
enough shrewdness to enable her TO take
care of and even TO increase her millions.
She has no madly extravagant tastes.
She is fond Of flowers, and the famous
Gould conservatories owe their renown
largely to her. She rides well, but is not
in the remotest degree a "hOrsey girl"
She is philanthropic, but she has excel
lent financial sense. and is never imposed
upon by fictitious poverty. She gives as
largely Of her time and strength to her
charities as Of her money. and without
any accomplishment OF sounding brass or
tinkling cymbals, does work that most
heiresses would leave undone, such as
Sunday-school teaching, district visiting,
hospital reading and the like. Perhaps
her most striking characteristic-afterh her
bank accounts her distaste for any sort
of otoriety.-EXchange

How His speech Was Prepared.

the senator from New York (Mr. HID
to count senators present and paired
was precisely in the same line, and rested
on the same principles. II seemed TO him
that the true thing for the Senate TO do
while II was in a deadlock. helpless, I'M
able TO act, laughing stock to the coun-
try because OF it's absolute impotence, was
either frankly 20 abandon the whole thing
or else go TO work in the proper and only
intelligent position and amend the rules
so as to give power TO the majority.
Mr. Vest referred to Mr.. Lodges state
ment as 10 Mr. Websters famous speech.
and said that Mr.. Webster did not give
that speech TO the public, as # now stood,
for more than month after the time OF
its delivery And II was to-day a question
OF very great and reasonable doubt
whether the speech, as II came down to
posterity was the same speech-at least
in verbiage-that was delivered.
Mr. Hoar said that he would like to con-
tribute TO the facts as to Mr.. Websters
speech. The Massachusetts, representa-
tives in the House were very much dis
turbed-the evening Of the day when Mr..
Hayne spoke-lest Mr. Webster might
treat II as a light or unimportant matter,
and one Of them, Mr.. Leyerett Salton-
stall, called on Mr.. Webster that evening
at his clearinghouse He found him
pacing up and down the parlor bumming
to himself the refrain of the old English
hunting song.
