A Strenuous Wooar.

~The "reminiscences Of Bismarck
contains an account Of his courtship.
He was a young Prussian officer when
he first met Johanna Won Puttkamer,
but he made application at once to her
father for permission to pay his ad-
dresses. Aghast at BIsmarck's pro-
posal. the old gentleman did not absO-
lutely decline It. Instead he wrote CIV
ing permission to pay a sort OF visit
Of inspection" at the Puttkamer home.
Bismarck hastened to Reinfeld. The
whole Puttkamer family was lined up
to greet him. The father and mother
glared at him sOiemnly, and Johanna
herself stood between them, her eyes
cast modest,y downward. With the
swift, whirlwind decision that scored
Bismarck his later political triumphs
he carried the situation by storm.
Galloping up the driveway, he leaped
from his horse, ran forward and flung
his arms around Johanna, taking no
heed OF her scandalized parents and
catching her to his breast and cover
ing her blushing face with kisses.
After that there could be no talk OF
probation" or waiting" The betroth.

PAPER AND CANVAS.
An Aneedote of Turner, the Grsas
Landscape Painter.

An Aneedote of Turner, the Grsas
Landscape Painter.
In q book entitled Stories OF tha
English Artists" R. Davies and a
Hunt tell an interesting anecdote oe
Turner, the great landscape painter.
He disliked to part with his pictures
and when be sold one invariably wore
a look OF detection and oppression. II
a friend asked him what was the mat
ter he would sorrowfully explain, "Tvs
lost one Of my children this week"
Once a rich Birmingham manufac-
turer, elliott by name, introduced
himself to the painter and stated that
he had come to buy.
Don't want to SELF or some such
laconic rebuff was the answer.
The manufacturer then drew from
his pocket a bundle OF banknOtes, about
5000 worth.
Mere paper" observed Turner, with
grim humor, a little softened, how
ever. and evidently enjoying the joke.
ITO be baTtered for mere canvas"
replied the persistent elliott, waving
his hand at the Building Of Car
thage" and its companions.
This tone OF cool depreciation seem
ed to have happy effect, and finally
elliott departed with some 5000
worth Of Turner's pictures.

as the Blackboard Pirate.
HIS BATTLE WITH MAYNARD.
After the Hand &c Hand Conflict the

as She Sailed Back to Virginia.

1t Is almost 200 years since Edward
Thatch, better known as the pirate
Blackboard, was a name with which
20 terrorizs the Atlantic coast of The
then new country Of Amers.a As d
buccaneer whose deeds Of desperate
daring made him feared wherever his
name was known he staLu~ close
rival OF the famous Captain Kidd II
indeed In some respects he did not sur
pass that notorious freebooter
The date Of Thatch's birth l. lost In
history, and his native place IS varI-
ously given as Bristol and jamaica.
He first appears as a fOremast hand TO
Major Stede Bonnet, gentleman OF
Barbados, who. although a man OF
property and having small knowledge
Of the sea. thought proper to fit out a
sloop and take to a life of piracy, the
explanation Of his being "a little dis
tracted" being charitably given by one
biographer. However that may be,
his crew missed in the major the quail
tiles Of successful commander. They
depOsed him and elected Thatch in his
place. Bonnet was tried and executed
in It'll.
Thatch's drst independent exploit Of
which we have a detailed account took
place In June. IT'S, when he captured
two French ships near the Bermudas,
one laden with sugar, the other empty.
Tran sferring to the latter the crew Of
the laden vessel and letting them 20
their way, be sailed with his prize Of
vessel and sugar for Bathtown, n. O.
with the governor Of which place.
Charles Eden. be had previously az
rived at 9 pleasant understanding.
Thatch gave out that he had found
the French ship deserted. Governor
Eden received sixty hogsheads OF sugar
ss his share. Tobias Knight, his sec
retary. took twenty. and the remain
der fell to Thatch and his crew.
Thatch fingered there for some
months, plundering and insulting the
merchants Of the place. These, under
standing at length the futility OF ex-
pecttng redress from Eden, applied to
the governor Of Virginia to rid them
Of the pest.
The governor. after consultation
with the captains of the Pearl and
Lime, then lying in he James river,
agreed to provide two sloops, the war
ships to furnish a complement OF
men. Lieutenant Maynard Of the

In Spite Of the Old Lady's Care She
Managed TO 6Iundsr.
The daughters OF a certain charming
old lady in Washington are frequently
much upset by the odd social blunders
Of their parent, whose failings in this
respect are. however. more than onset
by her kindliness Of manner.
Among the callers to the house CT
this family was a Mrs. Farrell, who,
after some years Of widOwhood, again
married, this time becoming the wife
Of Mr.. Meggs.

Of the girls when the newly married
lady's card had been brought in one
afternoon shortly after the completion
Of the honeymoon, don't make the
mistake Of calling her Mrs. Farrell"
The mother solemnly promised to
commit no faux pas and as she went
downstairs was heard to repeat to
herself, "Meggs-Meggs-M Meggs-not
Farrell"
At the conclusion Of the call the old
lady was met at the head Of the stairs
by the daughter, who at once ObserV-

ency on the old Iady's face.

stories Of w s Gilhsrt

When Sir Henry Irving and Edwin
Booth were acting together in London
at doubled prices. the story goes that
Mr.. Herman Vein. meeting W. S.

see one bad actor. but will not pay a

Mr.. Beerbohm Tree was playing the
part OF Falstaff at the London Hay
market, and the Indispensable stuflng
made him perspire profusely. Mr.. GIL

psIswars's Circular Boundary.


The northern boundary line OF Della
ware is circular because the charter
given to Penn states that Pennsylvania
was to be bounded on the east by
the Delaware river from twelve miles
distant north Of Newcastle town until
the three and fortieth degree OF north
latitude" and that the southern bound
airy was to be "a circle drawn at
twelve miles distant from the town OF
Newcastle northward and westward
until the fortieth degree Of north lati-
tude and then by a straight line west
ward" This makes a circular bound
ary for northern Delaware unayoid-
able, and the facts above set forth ex-
plain a geographical curiosity that has
puzzled many students.
