A PARTISAN MARVEL.

Paris has new marvel in girl
dramatist, who, though only ten
years old, has composed several plays
of much precocity. She is Mile.
Champmoynat, and her literary
name is Carmen d'Assilva. The lit
tie one has been admitted to the So
ciety of Dramatic Authors and has
been complimented and encouraged
to persevere by NJ. Victorien Sardou.
The child herself states that her
brain is always working up dramatic
situations and incidents. She OBJ
serves everything that passes and
prefers large cities with their bus
thing crowds, which she studies, to
the quiet country, where everything
seems to her inert and dead. The
precocious infant also tells people
that she comprehends everything in
life thoroughly. She has, in fact,
learned to understand all the springs
of human action. Likely enough
she does, for she is a sad pessimist,
this ten-year-old. The world is
abominable, in her estimation, but
amusing. Carmen is now writing
comedy on woman before and after
marriage.

Knew What lie Meant.

The meHnbers Of the Amish, pc.
culiar religious sect, mostly agri-
culturists, are very numerous in
Lancaster county, Pa. They have
been credited with small sense of
humor, but this anecdote of a polit-
ical campaign will prove to the con-
trary:
An orator sought to impress a
gathering near Paradise, in that
county, with his logic, bringing
himself down to the level of his lis
teners by claim of rural birth.
"Why, I was raised between two
hills of CORN" he declared, "and
Gods sunshine has ever shone upon
me-"
For a moment there was pause,
and the politician, fancying he had
made an impression, was about to
continue his harangue, when a big
Amishman in the rear of the hall
interrupted, "a pumpkin know
what he mean."-New York Trib.
