ON HAND AGAIN.

YIN ham, AGAIAN
At 10 o'clock the next morning James
H. Webster, the great criminal lawyer,
was seated in his office.
He had waited for hours for tldings from
our hero.
There was knock at the door, and
Ralph Dumont, counsel for the defendant,
entered the room.
II came to tell you that the foolhardy
youth who dared to visit the laboratory
last night is no more" said he, a smile OF
triumph lighting up his malignant fea'
lures
"Dead' exclaimed the great lawyer.
blanching perceptibly.
"Yes-dead. He was pursued to the
tower and leaped to the river. He did not
come to the surface. So you see, Mr..
Webster, that your trump card has failed.
You can never convict Anthony Goodlot"
Don't be too sure of that" came quiet
voice from behind.
''Perditionr' exclaimed Ralph Dumont.

Elizabeth, the third daughter of Letitia
TYLER, was married in the East Room of the
White House, Jan. 81, 1912, to Mr.. William
Waller, of Virginia. The wedding, which
was at first intended to be quiet affair, was
honored by the presence of many distinguished
guests
The night following the wedding grand
reception was given. 1t was said that one OF
the bridesmaids expressed surprise to Mr.
Daniel Webster at Lizzie Tyler's accepting
quiet Virginia home in exchange for all the
honors of position in Washington.
"Ah!" said he, " love rules the court, the
camp, the grove; for love is heaven, and
heaven is love-"
The Presidents wife was down stairs on the
occasion of her daughters marriage, for the
first time after entering the White House. 1t
was during Tyler's Administration that music
was introduced in the park south OF the Man
sion Invitations by card to the Presidents
House were considered as strictly private.
The public press was not allowed to indulge
in descriptions of persons present.
THE LAST LEvEE OF THE SEASON.
In going over the files of the Madisonian,
we find this modest description of a levee,
which stands out as the lone star of society

all such indulgencies:

isfactory evidence of the esteem in which the
high functionary is held in social circles
''Among the visitors of peculiar note were
the distinguished authors of the Sketch
Book and Pickwick Papers In addition
to whom almost all the Ministers to foreign
powers to our Government were in attendance
in full court dress.
''The rooms were filled to OVERLOOKING with

st seems to US that these levees, as at
present conducted. are peculiarly adapted to
the genius of our Republican institutions in

infringement of etiquet. We almost regret
their termination for the season, but look for

will be renewed"

A WONDERFUL
HISTORICAL CHART.
APictorial History of the United
States at a Glance.

One eff the most remarkable achievement
in chart making and historical condensation
that we have ever seen is now before US.
The chart is mounted as wall map, and
is 10 feet inches by 5 feet inches in ex-
tent. There are rollers at top and bottom
with tape at the sides to strengthen it. The
chart is printed in colors, and contains more
things than can be enumerated here. 1t
shows, in pictorial way, all the Presidents
and their Cabinets, from Washington to Nc
Kinley, in chronological order; the history OF
the Government by Congresses; history of
each Administration; comparative statement
Of debts, revenues and expenditures; the
issues of all political parties at various
periods; the political complexion of every
Congress; the naval tonnage Of all nations;
the standing armies Of every nation; the
area and population of all the States and
Territories brief history of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition; chronological dis
| coveries, explorations, inventions, and i'm
portant events, and the area and population
of foreign countries as compared with the
| United States.
But this is not all. There are also maps
of Central America, South Africa, Abyssinia,
Persia, Afghanistan, Alaska, and a map OF
the solar system.
To crown all, on the back of the chart is
printed, in colors, complete map of the
| United States, showing location of every
railroad, city, town, river. lake, and mount
ain-chain in the country.
In fact this chart and map combined en-.
ables man to roll up and carry in one hand
as much historical information about the
United States and the world at large as il
contained in the vast library of Congress
with its million books.
We have secured few copies Of this
combined map and chart for the benefit o
our So bscribers, and for one month from thu
date we can supply them upon The following
terms, viz:
We will send the chart, by express, pre-
paid. TO any Address in the United States o
Canada. free OF all cost, to any person VIII

''My first visit to this house was on the
morning after my arrival, when l was carried
thither by an official gentleman who was so
kind as to charge himself with my presenta-
ton to the President We entered a very
large hall, and having twice or thrice rung a
bell which nobody answered, walked without
further ceremony through the rooms on the
ground floor, as divers other gentlemen, mostly
with their hats on and their hands in their
pockets, were doing very leisurely.
''Some Of these had ladies with them, to
whom they were showing the premises; others
were lounging on the chairs and sofas, others
in perfect state of exhaustion, and from list
lessness were yawning drearily.
The greater portion of this assemblage
were rather asserting their supremacy than
doing anything else, as they had no particu-
lar business there that anyone knew of.
"a few were closely eying the movables as
if to make quite sure that the President, who
was far from popular, had not made way with
any of the furniture, or sold the pictures for
his private benefit.
"After glancing at these loungers, who
were scattered over a pretty drawing room
opening upon a terrace which commanded q
beautiful prospect of the river and the ada
cent country, and who were sanntering to and
fro about larger stateroom called the East
ern Drawing-room, we went up stairs into
another chamber, where were certain visitors
waiting for audience. At sight of my con-
ductor, black. in plain clothes and yellow
slippers, who was gliding noiselessly about
and whispering messages in the ears of the
more impatient, made a sign of recognition
and pIided off tn announce him.
1--WE had previously looked into another
chamber filled with great bare wooden desk,
or counter, wherein lay files of newspapers, to
which sundry gentlemen were referring.
But there was no such means as beguli-
ing the time in this apartment, which was as
unpromising and tiresome as any waiting
room in any of our public establishments, or

DIcKENs's PICTURES.


s.There were some Is or 20 persons in the
room. One, tall, wiry, muscular old man
from the West, sunburnt and swarthy, with q
brown white hat on his knee and giant
umbrella resting between his legs, who sat
bolt upright in his chair, frowning steadily at
the carpet and twitching the hard lines about
sto fix the President on what he had to say
and wouldn't bate him grain.
ssAnother, Kentucky farmer, six feet in
hight, with his hat on and his hands under
his coat tails, who leaned against the wall
and kicked the floor with his heel as though
he had Times head under his shoe and were
literally killing him. A third, an oval
faced, bilious looking man, with sleek black
hair cropped close, and whskers and beard
shaved down to blue dots, who sucked the
head of thick stick, and, from time to time,
took it out of his mouth to see how it was
getting on A fourth did nothing but whis-
tie. A fifth did nothing but spit, and, in
deed all these gentlemen were so very perse-
vering and energetic in this latter particular,
and bestowed their favOrs SO abundantly on
the carpet, that take it for granted the Presi-
Dental housemaids have high wages Or to
speak more genteelly, an ample amount of
compensation, which is the American word
for salary in the case of all public servants.
1--WE had not waited many minutes before
the black messenger returned and conducted
us into another room of smaller dimensions,
where, at business-like table covered with
papers, sat the President himself He looked
somewhat worn and anxious, and well might
he, being at war with everybody; but the ex-
preston of his face was mild and pleasant,
and his manner was remarkably unaffected,
gentlemanly, and agreeable. | thought that
in his whole carriage and demeanor he be-
came his station singularly well.
