and innate refinement. And after saying
this she recalled an instance of real good
breeding on his part. At dinner there
was a Saddle OF mutton. Tie servant,
after handing the roast, passed glass OF

ate the jelly from it. The servant got
another glass and passed it around Mr..
Lincoln noticed that the others at table
merely took spoonful. Without EN-.
barrassment or apology he laughed quietly
and remarked, II seem to have taken

And the pleasant roads thereby;
Out in the wholesome country

In through the woods green soIitudes-
Fair as the Lords own day.
We have lived so long together,
And joyed and mourned as one,
That each with each, with q look for speech,
Or touch. may talk as none
But loves elect may comprehend
Why, the touch Of her hand on mine
Speaks volume-wise, and the smile of her
eyes
To me is q song divine.

And the banks the boys love best,
And the Beech Grove" too. on the hilltop;
And the Haunted House" beyond
With its roof half of. and its old pump

Adrift in the roadside pond
We find our way to "The Marshes"-
At least where they used to be:
And "The Old Camp Grounds" and "The
Indian Mounds"
And the trunk of "The Council Tree;"
We have splashed and crunched through
"Flint Bed Ford"
And at "Old Big Bee Gum Spring"
We have stayed the cup, half lifted up,
Hearing the redbtrd sing.
Then there is "Wesley Chapel"
With its little graveyard. lone
At the GRO ssroads there, though the sun sets

All manner of articles in pIa,. ..
wood have been used in the manufac.
ture of pianos, says one of the great.
est English piano makers. perhaps the
most successful of these is paper. of
which many pianos of exquisite tone
and appearance have been made. The
specimens of the paper piano, this being
of French make, and decorated most or
nately with pictures by French artists.
The duke gave 500 guineas for this,
mainly, no doubt, ON account of the or
namentation. l suppose you know that
pianos for very hot and very cold eli
mates-all instruments for export, in
fact-have to be specially made, and in
this direction all manner of experiments
have been tried. Among others, sort
of cellulose, one factor in which is ac
tually common molasses, from which
sugar is made, is employed, and a COM
position made from the chemical treat
ment of .gutta percha and leather pulp
has been tried. Ivory pianos are by no
means uncommon, and the dowager
Countess of Dudley has magnificent
carved specimen. Pianos of ivory are,
might say, made every year in numbers.
but chiefly for Indian princes and rich
Spanish Americans. Many pianos of
solid silver have been made; indeed,
one was only recently completed by
London firm for the nizam of Haidara-
bad, and piano cases have at various
times been made of bronze, q species Of
aluminium, glass, porcelain and in COM
bination mother of pearl Exchange.

out anything ycu tell me. What is the
situation at the fronts' Mr.. Lincoln, in
his searching and sad way, looked at him
for q moment, as If he was about to
reveal the secret Of the whole army, and
then tumbied Granson ont in the recep.

THE MYSTERY OF A YEAR.

A little while, year agone,
knew her for romping child,
A dimple and q glance that shone
With idle mischief when she smiled.
Today she passed me in the press,
And. turning with quick surprise,
wondered at her stateliness,
wondered at her altered eyes.
To me the street was just the same,
The people and the city's stir,
But life had kndled into flame,
And all the world was changed for her
watched her in the crowded ways,
A noble form. a queenly head,
With all the woman in her gaze,
The conscious woman In her tread.

New York, March 10.--A special from
Key West, Fla, says that Mrs Jusnita
Belio, yesterday afternoon, whipped Jose
Fernandez, an attache of the Spanish con-
sulate, until he cried from pain. Mrs
Belio. who is a widow and proprietress of
the Daval hotel, is an ardent Cuban
sympathizer Fernandez, after office
hours, has been spending his time in the
hotel rotunda, denourcing the Cuban in
surgents as cut-throats. Since the action
of Congress on the Cuban resolutions, the
Spaniard has included Americans in his
denunciations. Yesterday afternoon he
entered the hotel and began his usual
TRADE.
Mrs. Belio, who had grown tired of it,
ordered Fernandez to leave. The Spanart
treated the woman contemptuously and
continued his denunciations Mrs. Belio
sprapg at the man and scratched his face
Then she seized a cane and dealt the
Spaniard repeated blows on the head and

Mrs. Bello. AS he reached the hotel en-
trance he stumbled and rolled into the

Lieutenant. Governor Makes No Changes in
Late Governor GreenhaIae's Staff.

Boston, March l0.-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Wolcott was at the state house early,
today. His honor quietly took possession
of the little chamber whtre Governor
Greenhalge transacted the business OF the
state. Soon after his arrival the Lieuten-
ant Governor requested Private Secretary
Henry A. Thomas to continue in that
office, and Mr. Thomas agreed to do so.
The Lieutenant Governor has no present
intention Of making any change or addi-
tons to the staff, but has requested all the
members of the staff of the late Governor
to continue in service for the remainder of
the term for which they were appointed.
His honor has cancelled all engagements
at public nature till Patriots day, when
the public memorial service of the late
Governor will be held. He has also an
nounced his intention Of accepting invita-
lions far more sparingly than has been the
custom. He believes that the public will
readily acquiesce in this decision which
is made necessary by tie great demands
on the time and strength of the Chief
Executive.
Mrs. Groenhalge has received from Hon.
Thomas B. Reed Of Maine, a very touch
ing letter, but Of so private and personal
cnaraCter as 10 preclude ltS puDlicatlOu.
She is in receipt of the following message
of coincidence from Hon. William Mckin-

of one who had sincere respect and
esteem for your distinguished husband.
With assurance Of my most respectful re-

Weyler would resign This is but the
Havana end of the dispute over the cleo
lions in Spain. Gen. Weyler has informed
the ministry that he is opposed to holding
elections in Cuba while the revolution is
in its pre- ent state. Canovas, 1t Is under
stood, has been upon the point of insist
ing against Gen. Weyler's judgment. So
there bias been an endless amount of spec
ulation as to the outcome, and the state
ment has been made in official circles that
Gen. Weyler had made his resignation an
ultimatum to sustain his position.
1t does not seems probable here that
such an outcome is possible, 1t would be
difficult to hold an election in Cuba, ss
the reformisis do not want it and would
find excuses for remaining away from
the polls; the autoDomists are all In the

vatives are only the Spanish in Havana

To these questions he said Col Grey
