Sydney Smith and His witticisms.

The Rev. Sydney Smith was one of
the first to honor our Introduction
with a call. His reputation as wit
was already worldwide, and he was
certainly one of the idols of London
society. In appearance he was hardly
prepossessing. He was short and squat
of figure, with rubicund countenance,
redeemed by pair of twinkling eyes
In the course of the visit already re-
ferred to, Mr.. Smith promised that we
should receive cards for an entertain
ment his daughter, Mrs. Holland, was
about to give. The cards were re-
ceived, and we presented ourselves at
the party.
At this party Sydney Smith was con-
ing friends. When we first entered the
rooms, he said to US: 81 am so busy to-
night that I can do nothing for you
Later in the evening he found time
to seek me out. Mrs. Howe" said he,
he, this is a rout like routs. Do
you have routs in American"
I'VE have parties like this in Amer
icas" I replied, but we do not call
them routs''
What do you call them, then?"
I'VE call them receptions"
This seemed to annuse him, and he
said to some one who stood near US:
Mrs. Howe says that in America they
call routs receipt ions''
He asked what had seen in London
so far. I replied that 1 had recently
visited the House Of Lords Whereupon
he remarked:
Mrs. Howe, your English is excel
lent. I have only heard you make one
INSTRUMENTATION. You have just said,
House of Lords We say, House of
Lards. +" Some one near by said, "Oh,
yes! the House is always addressed as
My Luds and Gentlemen"
When l repeated this to Horace
Mann, it so vexed his gentle spirit as
to cause him to exclaim, House of
Lords! You ought to have said, House
of Devils!''
l have made several visits in Lon
don since that time, one quite recently,
and 1 have observed that people now
speak of receptions, and not of routs
believe also that the pronunciation
insisted upon by Sydney Smith has be-
come thing of the past.-Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe in the Atlantic.

ramento, Cal, says: had been a severe
sufferer with catarrh, bronchitis and neu-
ralgia for three years. / had frequent
and severe spells of sickness. l suffered
greatly with indigestion, constipation and
bloating of the stomach. I coughed
great deal and my nose, throat and chest
gave me great trouble. / had quite a

no relief
A few months ago l heard of the Neagle

A Ducal Banker.

The late Duke Of Northumberland
had, Through his father-in-law, an in
terest in Drummond's bank, being prob
ably the only ducal banker on record
in this country. When, as Lord Lo-
vaine, he married Miss Drummond, she
was not an heiress, but the early deaths
of brothers made her one. The founder.
of Drummond's famous bank was
cadet of the family Of Lord Strathal-
Ian, who started in London as the
money agent of the Jacobite party, but
before many years he became banker
to members of the House OF Hanover.
He accumulated a great fortune. Al
most next to Drummond's for very
long period was the shop of his fellow
Scotsman-Pollock, the saddler, also a
scion of a good Scotch house, who was
not improbably aided at his outset by
the big banking firm. Pollock, TOO,
would have died rich but for credits
given to royalty in the days when roy
atty did not pay its bills, but the Pol
locks made their way by ability, and
the Lord Chief Baron. the Chief JUS
tice of Bombay and the Field-Marshal
Governor of the Tower were all sons Of
the saddler Of Charing Cross.
Ey far the most interesting seat of
the late Duke of Northum berland, from
the purely historical point of view, is
Syon House, near Richmond. Up to
the time of the Reformation. Up to
famous Benedictine nunnery, and was
presented by Henry VIII to the Dukes
of Northumberland. Almost facing it
was Sheen House, which had been
Carthus:an priory, and was given to
the Duke of Suffolk, father of Lady
Jane Grey. 1t was no doubt the prox-
unity of the two houses that led to
the union of Lady Jane Grey with Giul-
ford Dudley, son of the Duke of North
cumberland 1t was at Syon House that
this youthful Princess first heard the
news that she had been raised to a
throne which she graced for only seven
days. Some few years previously Syon
House had sheltered the Inflated Queen
Catherine Howard, who was sent there
after her arrest at Hampton Court, and
previous to being conveyed to the
Tower. In our own times Syon House
has had more agreeable associations in
the delightful garden parties which for
many years past have been given by
the Countess Percy, now Duchess of
Northumberland
An interesting fact connected with
the House of Percy is that there are
two foreign branches both bearing the
same name and coat-of-arms. One has
its seat in Normandy. and is, in all
probability, the fountain-head of the
English stock. 1t halls from Percie, a
village in Normandy near Villedieu, in
the neighborhood of which is the old
chateau still belonging to the Comte
de Percie. The other branch is Bel
gian, and is descended from that Earl
Percy who was attained by Queen
Elizabeth and sought refuge at Brus-
sells. The family Is still in possession of
great quantity of magnificent silver
plate of the Sixteenth century which
has engraved upon it the arms Of
Northumberland. There is also viii

founded by the Percys, and also called

A Ball Gown Reveals Leprosy.

A correspondent sends us terribly
gruesome tale from ST. Petersburg. A
few DAYS ago one of the rich families
of that city was celebrating the birth
DAYS of one of the daughters, the fes-
tivities winding up with a ball in the
evening, and among the invited was
Young girl. the Baroness -. AS the
dancing was beginning a young doctor
went up to the Baroness and asked for
the first waltz The Baroness acceded,
but when the doctor came up to claim
the dance she was not a little surprised
when he said quietly to her: Il do not
waltz; 1 simply asked for the waltz so
as to be able to- speak to you for Few
minutes alone. Have you any other
spots on your body like those l see on
your neck?' continued the doctor. The
girl was naturally confused at such
question and at such time, but, see
ing her companion was in earnest, an
swered in the Affirmative. Then I adj
wise you to go home Immediately" said
the medico in a grave tone.
Accompanied by the doctor, the
Baroness crossed the room to her father,
and in nervous voice and blushlng
painfully she told him what her part
ner had said The Baron -, greatly
disturbed at the importantly of the doc
tor accordingly left the ballroom with
his daughter. The next day the doc
tor, accompanied by three of his col
leagues went to see Baron M.
sWill you have the goodness to call
your daughter, that I may further ex-
anime the spots on her skin?" he in
quired. "In order not to be deceived
in my diagnosis, 1 have brought three
others of my profession" The Baron
was struck with alarm. For the love
of Cod cried he, what is the matter
with my daughter" Your daughter
has leprosy,'' was all the answer. One
can image the agony of the poor father.
The young girl was Immediately ex-
amined, when the others recognized the
presence of the horrible disease. 1t ap-

Another Murder at the Bay.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.-Another
murder tonight marked the reign of
terror In Chinatown. 1t is believed to
be directly caused by the old-tim feul
between rival and inimical tongs of
chinese. OF whom the most bitterly an
tagonlstic are the See Yups and the
sam furs. As a result of this war of
tongs, Pong Hung was tonight shot
and killed on Dupont street by Way
Yung Hung, Chinese tailor, after six
shots had been exchanged. Hung, the
survivor, was shot in both hands.

A Pensioned Church Cat.

A most fortunate animal is a little
kitten which recently attached itself to
the Church of ST. Augustine's, High
bury. In spite of the efforts put forth
by the officials to induce her to leave
the sacred precincts she returned again
and again, her persistency in the end
bringing rich reward. Impressed with
the kittens attachment to the edifce,
a lady connected with the church set
aside a sum of money to be devoted
to the comfort and maintenance of the
kitten. As a protection against the in
clemency of the weather, a neat little
kennel has been erected in a cosy cor
rer of the grounds at this lady's ex-
pense, while local purveyors of meat
and milk daily supply the kittens
needs. The constables who are on fixed
point duty at this spot also evince
warm interest in the little creatures

rate of over Al per cent-whereas
Frances exports not only did not in
crease at all, but actually fell off by
about ELL 100000, or per cent. These
figures remarks the anti-Jewish agi-
tator, make the French reader rub his
eyes and feel as if he were about to
suffer an attack of migraine.
The most terrible thing about it all,
he further observes, is not that
Frances expenses go on increasing,
that her people have the heaviest bud
get in the world and the largest ma
tional debt in the universe. No; it is to
note that all the sacrifices made for
the grandeur of the nation are horribly
unproductive, lamentably barren. Ger
many, England, the United States, all
spend money as well as we but the
sums which these peoples give to their
respective governments are productive
seeds, which bring in a magnificent
harvest of forces and riches. Our
money, on the contrary, drops into a
bottomless abyss. Our railways are
owned by Germans, we possess neither
a military nor a merchant navy, our
industry is languishing and our COM
merce dying. We exist for the uni
verse only, thanks to Paris-to that
Paris which the Tartuffes of both con-
tinents call Babylon the Infamous, and

Remembered the Melons.

The other day a funny thing hap
pened to the Colorado regiment. It
was just after the regimental parade in
the Plaza de Bagumbayan, and the
troops were marching off the field. Up
in a window along the street stood
an officer AS the Colorado boys came
along this officer began to discuss with
small Spanish boy in the street the
merits of the celebrated Rocky Ford
watermelons of Colorado. The effect
was electrical. A broad grin swept along
the regiment, for everybody who has
ever passed through Colorado knows
what delicious watermelons come from
Rocky Ford. and the thought Of water
melons to the Colorado boys was deadly
to discipline. The regular formation
became irregular, soldiers were turning
around to hear more of the CONVERSE
ton, and it seemed that there was i'm
minent danger of the whole line being
broken up. To- them 1t was like sitting
out in the middle of an endless desert
reading about good things to drink;
but the officer in the window kept up
his tantalizing discussion with the
small Spanish boy, who had no idea
what he was talking about. Rocky

street, were looking back, laughing,

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Marriage may not be failure, but a
good many married people are.
The more trust a good woman puts
in a man the more she will generally

Lots of men would be considered

to get scared,
1t is a good thing for man to be dis
satisfied with himself in everything but
his marriage.
II the women get to working in
Christian Science on love affairs there
won't be any hope for the men.
Women are better than men are, Men
very seldom love their enemies, but
women most always kiss them.
If the average man were as brave
and handsome as his wife believes he
is, he would probably have married
some other-better-l oking-woman.
