Denth of Miss snbrInn Dean.

More than passing word should be said
of the life and death of Miss Sabrina Dean,
who died Thursday, Aug. ?, at the ad-
vanced age of 81 years. Her father early
in the century, came to this town and
bought the farm now owned by W. II.
Mann. There he reared a family of five
children, of whom the deceased was one.
She has, with the exception of a few years,
spent her whole life in this village, never
living more than one-half mile from her
birthplace. She was Familiarity known
throughout the neighborhood as Aunt Sa-
brina, and no one ever spoke i'll of her.
She lived to see her fathers family pass
away, with two exceptions, and cared for
them all in her own home through their
last sickness and death. She has for the
past II years lived alone and cared for
herself till less than a week before her
death. We may not tell of any great
things done; but her entire life has been
one Of beauty, full of patience, kindness
and sympathy for those around her.

BIsMARck's MORTGAGES.

The Ex-Chanceno- Devoting $4,000 a
Year to the Liquidation of Debts.
Nobody in Germany has felt the-e evil
effects of the agricultural depression
more keenly than has Bismarck. To
persons who have read of the magnii-
cent presents given to Bismarck by the
old emperor it has been Il surprise to
learn recently that his estates are
heavily mortgaged. His present from
the old emperor after the Prus-
sian war of 1866 was $500, 900, and with
this sum he bought his palace at Var
zin. After the Franco-Prussian war
he received from the same hands the
Saxon forest at Friedrichsruhe, valued
at $3.50, 900. He inherited the ancestral
estate at SchOenhausen. On April 1,
1885, Bismarck's seventieth birthday,
his admirers throughout the world
gave him that. portion of the Schoen-
hausen property which his father had
been obliged to sell when times were
hard. The money value of the gift
was some 800, 1000. Bismarck is also a
diStiller, forester and the owner of a
large brick yard. Despite all these ad-
vantages, however, says a writer in the
Home Journal, he has found it impossi-
BILE to lift the mortgages, amounting to
about $750,O00, which have incumbered
his estates for many years. Of his
gross income more than 1872, 900 must
be devoted every year to paying the in
terest on his debts. The burden is not
agreeable to the old chancellor, and he
has often remarked to his friends re-
Gently that his ambition to leave an
unincumbered property to his children
would never be gratified.

HIS VISIT CUT SHORT
An Indianapolis Lady's Solicitude for the
Cleanliness of Her Friends.

An Indianapolis Lady's SOlicitude for the
Cleanliness of Her Friends.
A certain lady of, this { !, who had
never been used to the luxury of life
until after her husband made large
sum of money in the real estate busi-
ness, moved into an elegant house
which had, among other conveniences,
q fine bathroom, says the indianapolis
Sentinel. 1t was her pride, and every
visitor was informed about the bath
room. Guests who came from a dis
tance were greeted with: ''Now, 1 know
you are tired and dusty after your long
journey; just go right up to the bath
room and you can have a refreshing
bath at once" This worked we'll in
most cases, but one day she made a
mistake. She went to the door one
warm summer afternoon to find a young
gentleman friend of her husbands
from Louisville, and she took it for
granted that he was going to stay all
night. So her first words after shaking
hands with him were: Now, you are
tired and dusty after your journey;
just go right up to the bathroom; a
bath will refrcsh you so.''
In vain the young man tried to ex-
postulate; she had him by the arm and
started him up the stairway before. he
could get in word. In half an hour
he came down and took up his hat and
stick. II thank you very much,' he
said, Il enjoyed the bath very much. :"
Then he started for the door, ''Why,
where arc you going?' asked the
hostess. ITO catch my train" he an
swered; I only had forty minutes to
stay and my bath took halt an hour, so
/ must hustle now to catch Shc Chicago
train" This cured the lady of showing
off her bathroom.
