THE D1sAGREEABLE WOMAN.

THE DfSAGREEABLE WOMAN.
The Disagreeable Woman, says Mrs.
Wisg!n in the February Atlantic, has a
lovely baby. which, to begin with, is
somewhat remarkable. as disagreeable
women rarely have babies. or else. hay
ing had them. their disagrecableness
rapidly disappcars-so rapidly that one
hasn't time to notice II. Tho Disagree
able Woman lives at the very end OF
the row, and across the road Is wicket
gate leading- Where does It lead?
What was the very point. Along the
left, as you lean wlstfully over the gate,
there runs q stone wall topped by
green hedge, and on the right, first fur
rows of deeper brown. and mulberry
and red plowed earth stretching down
to waving fields OF green, and from
thence to the sea, gray, misty, opales-
cent melting into the pcarly white
clouds, so that one can not tell where
the seq ends and the sky begins.
There Is path between the green
hedge and the plowed field. and 1t leads
scductively to the Farm Steed!n', or we
feel that It might thus lead II we dared

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 16.--Rcar Adj

ment last year, was informed Of the
naval casualty in Havana harbor. The
admiral was exceedingly surprised to
hear OF the destruction OF the Maine,
and from the meagre news was loath TO
venture my explanations Of the affair.
II can offer nothing but vague con-
lecture as 10 the probable cause OF the
destruction Of the Maine, although It
would seem to me at this time that
when IN investigation Is made It would
be found that an explosion occurred on
the vessel"
The admiral was asked If It was pos
sible that n torpedo lying in the harbor
could have been accidentally exploded
under the ship.He did not think this
could have been possible. If torpedo
caused the explosion Il must have been
sent from shore, for torpedos are not
lying around loose lp Havana harbor,
where hundreds OF ships are in and out.
Il am sure no official had anything to
do with II II n torpedo was responsible.
Oh, no." said he, there could have been
no explosion Of n torpedo by the drag.

OF that sort. Nor are there any SUBJ

Rear Admiral Belknap sold 1t was u
very significant thing that the Maine
should have blown up In that particu-

cause Of the explosion, he thought that

carefully cased, mostly in the form OF
