Man of Talents.

'It is not generally known" said a man interested in the Salvation Army that Col. John Lawley who has travelled with General Booth as his personal aide de-camp for thirteen years, is a very gifted song writer. He has written a great many ballads that are favorites with the army both in this country and abroad, while many of his songs have been widely copied outside of Salvation Army circles.
 He Is a versatile man and a man of striking personality, and never fails to make a friend of a man with whom he has talked for five minutes.
 He is to lead the song service at the army barracks on First avenue, and he will also appear at all three of the Sun day services at the Biiou."

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press
 Anybody can break into society with a diamond-tipped gold drill.
 After a woman has proposed to a man he lies awake all night trying to figure out who did it.
 It Is easier for man to make love to a woman when he doesn't want to than to make her stop making love to him when she wants to.
 No matter how innocent man is when he is travelling and gets his bag mixed up with a strange woman's, he can't go home and look his wife in the eye.

NOVELTY IN VALENTINES.
An Odd Line With Pickaxes, Hooks and Eyes and Frying Pans Attached.

From the New York Sun.
 One line of valentines put out this year has the merit at least. of novelty. Inc verses or sentiments are printed on cards about 4x3 nches to which are attached also objects of some sort Illustrative of or built into the text. For example, here is one in which a match attached to ,he card stands for the word match: To my Valentine, I'm your unatch here) Find me if you can. Another valentine in this line has at , tached to it miniature pickaxe so that the pick part of it comes immediately next to the word my" in the valentine, standing there for the word pick"
 To my Valentine, Of all this world
 You are my (pickaxe here)
 And for love of you I'm almost sick.
 In another of these valentines a cork attached takes the place of part of a word the printed part being the syllable Ter" the word pronounced being corlSer; ] somebody is "a corker"
 This is one of the emblem valentines that has attached to it tiny frying pan; the frying pan being not built in, but sort of giving point to the verse; which in this ease runs as follows:
 To my Valentine. To live always with you, dear, is what I desire
 though that's Tout of the frying pan
 into the fire" With some. married couples this may be
 true,
 But it would not be possible. sweetheart, swith yeu..a
 Here is one of these valentines that has tied in the cara, running through the last line in the manner here indicated a piece. of string, the verses being:
 To. my Valentine
 You say your, love for me will last
 Till all this feeting life is past. I'd .fain believe this song you sing,
 But fear you have me on a string. Here is one more example. In this one there is a hook and eye. sewed on under the last line of the verse:
 To my Valentine
 May you and forever be
 Attached as these below you see,
 These two always go together
 Though it be clear or stormy weather. And then there are valentines of this sort with miniature horseshoe attached. or bit of sponge, or little dust pan. and so on; the several objects being in some manner related to the printed words appearing on the cards to which they are attached

McCLAvE LAID OFF.
Princeton's Great Full Back Declared to
Re Ineligible.

The adherents of the Tiger foot ball team
sustained a severe shock yesterday at
Princeton, when the announcement was
made that the full back. r. p. McClave,
had been declared ineligible to play on the
eleven by the faculty committee on attn
lettcs. McClave and Miller were rival can
didates for the full back position, ana poth
men expected to play against Yale. Miller
is a freshman, while McClave had expert
ence on the varsity last year.
Through a misunderstanding In the COM
mittee it was not known till within the past
few days that McClave was ineligible; II
appears that McClave, who entered college
in the fall Of 1870. played for three innings a., s
first wear. Under Princeton's strict eligibil-
ity rules, which prohibit man from rom play
iet]cs for more than four years, McClave Is
debarred. as this Is his fifth year in col
lege
The undergraduates heartily approve of
strictly enforcing the rules. but blame the
committee for not discovering the circum-
stance and taking action until within a few
days of the Yale game

Cherry Got Decision Over Feltz.

Joe Cherry of Saginaw defeated Tommy
Feltz of Brooklyn in a ten-round bout be-
fore the Metropolitan A c., at Detroit,
Thursday night. The outcome was a sur
prise to Feltz, who held Cherry cheaply
and figured on an easy victory. Instead.
Cherry mixed it with the Brooklyn lad at
all times, landed the greater number of
clean blows and outpointed Feltz in seven
of the ten rounds. For the first five rounds
Cherry had the best of it, forcing matters
at all times and landing some very effective
punches In the sixth Feltz cut out the
pace and in the next and final rounds had
things in his favor. The winner will be
matched to meet frankie Neal of San
Francisco for the bantamweight title be-
fore the Detroit club within a short time.
