Brice and the Cabbies.

Every man with a plug hat and a heavy beard who leaves the capitol, on the east side, after the adjournment of the senate, creates a regular scramble among the "cabbies" who stand on that side of the building. for just at that time they are looking for Senator Brice, who invariably rides home in one of these vehicles and who never gives less than dollar for a very short ride, and not infrequently considerably more, which fact makes the senator very de- sirable passenger, and hence the unusual scramble of the "cabbies. ''
 The senator seems to enjoy it, how ever, and usually takes the first vehicle that reaches him, whether it be hack, cab, hanson or coupe.
 The other evening the senator. togeth- CT with friend. was leaving the capi- tol at the usual exit, and when the "cabbies'' saw him the usual scramble ensued, and the senator had hardly walk ed ten yards before he was surrounded by no less than dozen vehicles of every description. But the senator did not seem to take the rush in his usual smiling way on this day, and walking over near the cab stand he and his friend jumped into the only vehicle that did not make a dart to secure him.
 The driver did not recover from his astonishment for about minute, but when be did he whipped up, and going past his(brother "cabbies" he nearly fel off Cs seat laughing, while the senator | looked out of the window and smiled - Washington Star.

We stopped to look at the downy con- tent of that sober plant, the mullein.
 Many plants had the central leaves fold ed continuously one about another until sort of large, gray green bud was formed, and in one of these buds bee was taking an afternoon nap, snugly sheltered from the air, which was grow ing somewhat chilly We thought that any prudent insect might find a com fortable winter home by asking the mullein to open its velvet leaves just a little and then to fold them tightly around the wanderer And while we were speaking bluebottle fly went humming past us, as if to say be had no mind yet to De asking shelter of any one l--Edith M.

Breaking Ground For the First Building,
 the Hall of History.
 WASHINGTON, March 10.-Interesting exercises attended the breaking of the ground for the first building for the new American university, the hall of history. Except for the wind, the day was perfect one, and large number of people witness ed the ceremony.
 Bishop Hurst of the Methodist Episco- pal church presided, and the exercises opened with a hymn-tbe Living Stone" written for the occasion by J. E. Rankin, president of the Howard university. It was read by Rev. Teunis s. Hamlin and sung by the assembled throng to the tune of America. Bishop Hurs1made the in- troduotory address, in which he reviewed briefly the history of the movement, and said that about s1.00O, 900 had been se- cured toward the university fund.
 Rev. B. L. Whitman, president of Co., lumbia university, and Postmaster Gener- al Wilson also made brief remarks. The latter spoke of what a great university could accomplish In the work of advancing civilization, Christianity and freedom. which were the forces that stood as the mainstay of progress and elevation of man. He alluded to the university as pillar of the church and bulwark of a republic.
 MT. Guerey of Toronto spoke few words on behalf of his friend. the late Henry Massey, who left the university a bequest of $50. 900. The cornerstone of the building will be laid in about five weeks, and the structure will be rapidly pushed to completion. Two-thirds of the trustees of the university are Methodists, and the remaining third are of different denominations.

FOUR GREAT FRESHMEN.
Burke. O'Connell, Parnel1 and Mccarthy
 and What They Have Done.

Burke O'Connell, Parnel1 and Mccarthy
 and What They Have Done.
 Ireland has produced number of the greatest orators, the keenest parliamen- tarians, the most sagacious statesmen. the best scholars, the most sympathetic poets and the warmest patriots. She has had her name emblazoned upon the tenn pie of fame, through the efforts of those who have been nursed in the cradles of the houses which deck her land In the political arena there are four names as- sociated with the work of this century and it's predecessor. which stand out in prominence-namely, Edmund Burke, Daniel O'CoBnell, Charles Stewart Par nell and Justin Mccarthy.
 Edmund Burke, one of the greatest names in the history of political litera- ture, was born in Dublin, on Jan. 12, 1729 He took seat in the house of commons in 1766. He first astonished the commons at St. Stephens with his electric eloquence, command of lan- guage, power of argument and extent of information. while debating the de- claratory act. His early efforts in favor of Roman Catholic emancipation, his patriotic designs for the amelioration of Ireland, the circumstances attending his first session in parliament, his rapid rise to eminence us an orator and a statesman, his enunciation of the doc trine of free trade, the obloquy and the difficulties of every kind against which he had to contend, the hoginning of his enmity to Chatham, his struggle against the court in 1769, his exertions for the freedom of the press, his ideas on Indi- an reform in 1773 and his speeches upon the American Revolution are all subjects occurring during his parliamentary ca reer which do not yield in interest and magnitude to the events of the present generation.
 O'Connell's striking greatness was achieved in the field of Irish politics. From early manhood he had turned his | attention to the condition of Ireland and the mass of her people. Having a firm | faith in the influence of his church, he | perceived that it might be made an in- strument of immense political power in l Ireland As result of his lahors Catho- | io Ireland was arrayed to a man in ar ! organization of enormous power, that demanded its rights in no uncertain ! voice. -.-. The history of the life and work O. ! Charles Stewart Parnell is of recen
 date and the property of every living Irishman. A man of transcendent gen
 jus, his elevation to the brightest plac'
 in the affections of the people of hi
 adopted country is not to be wondered
 at. although history affords no paralle
 of such a rapid rise among her states

 BRIDGEPoRT, Conn.,, March Q - Dis quieting rumors--that is, disquleting to the many friends of Mrs. Callias-have for some time reached here from the far off island of Melita, which seem to show that all was not as happy in the Egean sea as it might be. The rumors have been to the effect that Mrs. Barnum's second marriage had not met all of hor antioipa- tions, and while there may be no solid foundation for the report, 1t is not denied that Mrs. Callias intends returning to this country, notwithstanding that when she left Bridgeport itwas with the avowed in- tention of remaining abroad for the rest of her life.
 There is one thing certain, however, and that Is that the amount of wealt.b

WASHINGTON WORE THE GREEN.

He Was an Honorary Member of the so-
 ciety of the Sons of St. Patrick.
 The first St. Patrick's day dinner on record on this side of the Atlantic was that given in 1772 in Philadelphia by the Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, an organization started in Sep tember, 177l. At this banquet Stephen Moylan, afterward general in the conti- mental army, presided. The society aft erward became the center of patriotic impulse of the Revolutionary times ih Philadelphia. Many of its members ! were officers in Washington's army.
 In June, 1780, 93 Philadelphia mer- chants subscribed $1,500,00 to save Washington s army from famine and dis aster Of these 93 there were 27 mem bers of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick who subscribe $517. .500, or more than one-third. of the whole amount of the money. Washington was made an hon. orary member of the organization on Dec. IT, 1781. Notice was sent him of his election, accompanied by gold medal made in the form of the ensign of the society. To this Washington re- ! piled as follows: SrR-I accept with singular pleasure the ensign of so worthy fraternity that of the Sons of St. Patrick in this city, society dis | tinguished for the fl m adherence of its n.enl- bers to the glorious cause ID which we are em- | parked. Give me leave to s~sure you, sir that shall never cast my eyes upon the badge with which am honored but with a grateful i memhrance of the polite and affeotionate man. ner in which it was presented.
 | am, with respect and esteem, sir, your most obedient servant, .#... GEORGE WASHINGTON.
 The society gave a dinner in Wash l ington's honor at the City tavern in January 17S2, at which there were 20 other guests, including the most distin- guished officers of his own and the French troops and 35 members of the society i,self. The first president attend ed another brilliant meeting of the so- ciety on March 2S, 1762.
 The most satisfactory of these last century celebrations of the day on rec ord is perhaps that of March F, 1776, when the British were driven out of Boston. Washington paid tribute to the sons of Erin in the ranks of his army by giving out "St. Patrick" as the countersign and naming General Sulli- van, the son of the famous Limerick schoolmaster, as brigadier of the day.

Callias possesses is not as great as was represented at the time of the marriage.
 Tho wedding of Mrs. Barnum to the Greek nobleman took place in tho yGreek church at $40 West Fifty. third street, New York, Aug. g, 1895. Only few of the in- timate friends of Mrs. Barnum knew of it until the ceremony had been performed. It was a great surprise that she had select. ed a foreigner as a husband When 1t was said that he had several millions of dol lars, that explained it.
 After the ceremony Callias and his bride sailed for Paris, and since that time hnyo travelled in Europe. When they arrived at the Greeks estates on the island of Nell ta, where 1t was said he possessed great olive plantations. Mrs. Callias was sur prised and disappointed to learn the true value Of her husbands possessions.
 Benjamin Fish, Mrs Callias' cousin, says: Tt is true Calliss is not as rich as he said he was. But as for separation, do not believe the story of their separa- ton. 1t Is not likely that he is going to lose what he has. expect that they will be back this spring, and 1t Is probable they will live in New York. -
