Mrs. Fields Tells an Interesting Anecdote
 Of the Author.
 Speaking of Longfellow, ill her vol ume of literary "reminiscences, Mrs Jane J. Fields says:
 His kint ness and love of humor car ried him through many tedious inte". ruption He generously overlooked tta fact of the subterfuges to which men and women resorted i'll order to get an interview, and, to help them out, made as much of their excuses as possible Speaking one day of the persons who came to see him at Nahant, he said One man, perfect stranger, came with an omnibus full of ladies. He descend ed introduced himself then, returning to the omnibus, took out all the ladies, one, two, three, four and five, with a little girl, snd brought them in. I en- tertained them to the best of my ability and they staid an hour. They had scarce ly gone when a forlorn woman i'll black came up to me oil the piazza and asked for dipper of water Certainly" l replied and went to fetch her a glass. When I brought it, she said: "There is another woman just by the fence who is tired and thirsty. l will carry this to her. But she struck her head as she passed through the window and spilled the water on the piazza. fOh, what have I done!" she said eff I had a floor cloth, would wipe it up." "Oh, no matter about the water" l said, eff you have not hurt yourself. " Then l went and brought more water for them both and sent them on their way re- freshed and rejoicing.
 It would be both an endless and un- profitable task to recall more of the cu- rious experiences which popularity brought down upon him. There is a passage among MT. Fields notes, how ever, in which he describes an incident during Longfellow' E last visit to Eng land which should not be overlooked. Upon his arrival the queen sent a grace ful message and invited him to Windsor castle, where she received him with all the honoTs, but he told me no foreign tribute touched him deeper than the words of an English bod carrier who came up to the carriage door at Harrow and asked permission to take the hand of the man who had written the Voices of the Night ''

 Hereditary Suicide.

An extraordinary instance of heredi- tary tendency to suicide was told by Professor Bronareel in Paris lately. A farmer near Etampes hanged himself without apparent cause, leaving a fam ily of seven son and four daughters. Ten of the Il subsequently, followed the fathers example, but not until they had married and begotten children. all of whom likewise hanged themselves. The only survivor is son, who is now 69 years of age and has passed safely be- yond the family hanging age.

Senator Elect Money, of Mississippi,
