Relic of q Political Murder Committed In

Mexico Thirty-thrce Years Ago.
A strange ceremony was performed In
Oakland, CAL, some time ago, the like Of
which ia without parallel in history. The
ceremony was the receipt of a human heart
by Gethsemane chapter, No. s. Rose Croix,
of the Scottish Rite of Masonry and the
formal assuming of the cure of it by the
chapter. 1t was a brilliant gathering, and
n that, as described by the San Francisco
Examiner, was unique in itsway. Even in
the history OF Masonry it has no equal.
The heart was that of Ygnacio Herrera Y

Jalisco, Mexico. 35 years ago, and who was

Wouldn't See the Raise.

DIR. Bartlett Of the New York Avenue
church called on Senator Mcmillan a day
or two ago and received from him sub.
scription of $500 toward the expenses
connected with the forthcoming assembly
here of the Presbyterian church. Dr.
Bartlett bowed as we'll as expressed his
thanks for the liberal subscription,
extended his hand, and was about to turn
away when the Senator remarked:
doctor, are you acquainted with Sem
ator Brice, of Ohio?"
81 have not the honor" said DR.. Bart
lett.
"Waii a moment, then, please, and l
will send for him to come out" and
turning to messenger he requested him
to present his compliments to Senator
Brice and request his presence at the east
door of the senate. In moment Senator
Brice appeared and was presented to DIR.
Bartlett.
II have sent for you" remarked Sena-
tor Mcmillan, "for the reason that you
have not only the reputation of being a
liberal patron of the arts and sciences, but
of education and religious institutions
and objects as WE'LL AS the one hundred
and fifth general assembly of the Presby-
terian church meets here in May, and
that means that there will be over 1000
commissioners in attendance who are to
be taken care of, they are looking for
people like you to help them out. l
have made a small subscription myself
and thought you would be willing to
duplicate it."
Certainly" said Senator Brice. 81
will give the same. What was your
subscription ?"
Give hundred dollars, was it not,
doctor ?"
"That is correct" said Dr. Bartlett.
Senator Brice gave quick look at
Senator Mcmillan, wLo smiled serenely
in return. Senator Brice thereupon went
through his pockets and succeeded in
fishing out about $4,000 in pin money,
as he termed it, and was about to hand
DR.. Bartlett $500 bill when he smiling
ly remarked to Senator Mcmillan, "Don't
you think we had better make this 0
thousand each ?"
Call right" was the reply, "but ii
strikes me, now that you have raised the
subscription, that $1,000 cash would be
the proper figure"
NO." replied Senator Brice, handing
DR.. Bartlett the $500 bill, "under the
circumstances don't think it would be
proper to call you. There are a good
many Ohio people here just now without
return tickets, and the walking is rather
bad at present" = Washington Cor. In.

There is one marked difference, says
an exchange, between papers published
in country towns and those published in
cities. City papers get pay for ali work
done, and no one expects them to pub
lish complimentary notices any more
than they expect dry goods or grocery
stores to furnish them with complimentary
goods. The country papers are expected
to do large amount of work for nothing
and they do it.

You can tell pretty well how a girl
feels toward you by the way she takes
your arm. If she doesn't care cent
you know it by the indifference Of her
muscles. If she has a great confidence
in you the pressure tells it, and friend
ship is as distinct from love in that mode
Of expression as in words or looks. A
woman can take the arm Of a fellow she
likes very much with perfect comfort,
even if she is 6 feet high and he is 4.
But even if the two are just matched
she can make him feel disdain, contempt,
discomfort, dislike, anything she likes by
the way she does not hold on to him. l
am told there is a great deal ofdiierence
too, between the way a girl fits her
waist to one mans arm as compared
with another, bat / hardly believe it.

The Baltimore american tells story
of the origin Of fee of So, regularly
exacted from young members of the Bar
on their admission by the crier Of the
Supreme Court in that city. Many
years ago, when young lawyers were
scarce and rich, and LIBERAL because they
could afford to be, an old woman, known
as Nell Gwynn, who used to sell apples
and cakes about the courts, took 1t into
her head to tax all the young lawyers
50 on their admittance to the bar. The
lawyers laughed and complied with the
old lady's fancy. The practice continued
during Nell's lifetime. When she died
the crier of the court thought the field a
good one to cultivate, and the young
lawyers Of his time were induced tc
follow the example of their predecessors.
The courtesy came in course of time to be
regarded as a right, and is no longer
contribution, but an exaclion, although
the crier is not dependent on fees, but
receives fair salary for bis services.

Or catch, betimes, with wakeful eyes and
clear,
One radiant vista Of the -ealm before US
With one rapt moment given TO see and
hear
All who would fear?
Were we quite sure
To find the peerless friend who left us lonely,
Or there, by some celestial stream as pure,
To gaze in eyes that here were loyelit only
This weary mortal coil, were we quite sure,
Who would endure?
e. C. Stedman.
