LOUIS KossUTH, the Hungarian patriot, died at Turin on Tuesday, aged 92 years.
 His visit to America in 1850 is still in memory of the people whom he enthused with sympathy for the country from which he was exiled. He set the practice in this country of wearing soft black hats, many of which, like his, were decked with an ostrich feather. For years every soft black hat was known as @ "Kossuth." "

Miss Pollard, who is suing Congress man Breckenridge for damages for breach of promise of marriage, is proving an ex- eeedingly bright witness in her own be- half. The counsel for the defendant are learned in the law and are expert cross examiners, but they seem to find it impos- sible to gain a point against the young woman who sits in the witness chair, and answers the most troublesome questions in a way to strengthen her case. She is more than: a match for,th combined wit of the man who wronged her and the dis tinguished lawyers who are defending him. As for MT. Breckenridge, who sits and sneers at this bright young woman whose career he has ruined, we have only to ac- capt an his own versions, theories and ex- plantations as truth, and then write him down as 8 smooth -tongued deceiver, un- worthy of public confidence, and hereafter standing disgrace to any state or dis trict that allows him to style himself as it's representative"
 Colonel Breckinridge of Kentucky, who is still, we believe, a Presbyterian in good and regular standing, and has been accus- toned to give good moral and religious advice to voting men, can sympathize with the old darkey of whom Booker Washing ton of Tuskegee, Ala, tells. The darkey arose recently in one of the southern pray CT meetings and exclaimed: Brethren and sistern, I've been having drefful time since last we were together. Pve been chawing hard bones and swallowing bitter pills. Pm afraid Eve broken every oae of the ten commandments, but, thank the Lord, haven't lost my religion"

Finally the young diver clamberet
aboard and related to the captain thai
his ship had struck, well forward, on
narrow ledge with deep water on both
sides, and that she was afloat, with the
exception of a space about ten feet long
near her bows.
THAT is just about what gathered
from soundings," replied the captain.
Now, | want you to go down again.
taking a lead line with you, and locate
some good-sized hole or crevice as near
the bottom of the ledge as you can get.
Leave the lead behind to mark the spot
where you come up"
Grit wondered at this strange order,
but did as directed, and after several
descents into the clear waters, finally
located a deep fissure nearly twenty feet
beneath the surface.
rs the hole large enough to hold
this?" asked the captain when the
young wrecker again came on board
the schooner. As he spoke the former
held out a square tin canister to which
was attached a reel of slender copper
wire.
Eyes, SIR" replied the hoy. "It's big
enough to hold me-
Very good. Now II you will 20
down once more, taking this can with
you, and thrust it as far as possible into
that hole, / will not ask you to go into
the water again"
Take care of this can as you would
of your own life" he said, earnestly.
Don't let it hit against anything, and
place it gently as far in the crevice as
you can reach"
These words were so strange and the
whole business was so different from
the usual proceedings in connection
with wrecked ship that even as Grit
worked at his novel task, far beneath
! the blue surface the one thought that
| filled his mind was: "IIe is as crazy as
crazy can be-"
| However. he carried out his instruc-
| tions, and when he regained the
schooner's deck found il occupied by
all the passengers of the stranded
steamer.
Take them off on a five minutes
| cruise" ordered the captain, as with his
own hands he cast off the lines hold
ing the schooner.
At the end of five minutes the Poly
anthus was nearly quarter of mile
! away, and her young skipper, who was
trying to answer hundred questions
ut once from the bewildered passengers,
was also wondering what he should do
next.
All at once it was noticed that the
propeller of the great ship was work.
ing furiously backwards.
Then came the most surprising thing
that has ever happened in all the an
nails of wrecking on the Florida reefs.
There was heavy vibratory explosion,
! accompanied by mutflcd roar.

'Out to the reef after fish" was the
answer Mother said fish, but so far
as have heard she didn't say what kind
of fish, and so, of course. meant the best
Ash, such as Spanish maclsercl, king
Ash, yellow tails or drum"
OF course this was convincing, for
Matey not only dearly loved to sail, but
was firm in her belief that whatever
Grit said or did was right Thus an hour
later saw the little schooner, after run
across the broad Hawk channel, an
chored just inside the great coral reef
that borders the Gulf stream for more
huge breakers were dashing themselves
into showers of glistening spray.
When at length they were ready to
go and attempted to get up the anchor
all their strength on the windlass
failed to bulge it. A fluke had caught
beneath some great bunch of coral, and
with boylike carelessness Grit had neg.
lected to provide trip line.
1t was quite dark before he aban-
doned the attempt to recover their an.
chor, and said, cheerfully: "Never
mind, Matey, girl. 1t won't hurt us to
stay out here over night, and as soon
as it comes light again I'll dive down
there and see what is the matter. I'm
not going to cut the ca bic and lose that
brand new anchor unless l have TO,
that's sure"
So soundly did they sleep that night
that not until he was flung from his
locker on to the cabin floor did Grit
awaken to the fact that the Poly was
pitching madly and that the gale wa,
shrieking through her taut rigging
There was an instant of quiverine
strain. Then something gave way, ant
Grit knew what had happened. The
tense cable had parted and they were
heiplessly drifting at the mercy of the
storm.
Minutes passed, and still they swept
on. Suddenly Grit uttered great cry
of relief that was almost sob.
We've passed the breakers! We're
clear of the reef. We're out in the
gulf. We're safe, Matey, girl.' he
shouted -
The next change of scene was most
surprising. Daylight had come, the
sun was rising. Before a gentle breeze,

them.

NOTES OF THE FASHIONS,

Items OF Interest to Wornen Who Keep
Pace with the Styles in Dress.
Satin ties that have become soiled
may be cleaned by rubbing them with
bread crumbs day old.
Black flowers are the latest things for
hats.
The woman who loves to wear bows
may crafty her fondness to it's fullest
extent this spring, for they are allowed
by fashion to an almost unlimited eX-
tent.
The most fashionable ribbons are
moirc antique with a satin stripe down
the center. and plain moire ribbons

Wide-ribbed pique is one of the most
popular fabrics for cotton gowns. They
come in pale colors as we'll as white,
and are made up in fanciful styles,
trimmed elaborately with lace and rib
bon.
Something new is the plain black
Hindoo cloth, which takes the place Of
plain black lawn. Hindoo cloth much
resembles black lawn, is of perfectly
fast color, and has a very soft finish.
There is an economic side to the big
sleeves OF to-day, after all, /" said a young
mother the other day, "for they make
over beautifully into froclss afor the

The best brush for velvet is per-

for the application Of face powder; and,
next to this. tight roll of soft threaded
cloth, frayed out for two OF three inches.
All rugs when shaken should be
handled by the middle, not by the ends.
Lamp glasses that have become badly
stained by smoke can be cleaned by
