Uri- X-'s*,v

The

statement. In fact, in other departments it has always been noticed that one of the standing ill tffsct» of the culture, say of flowers, has been to make its votary prefer a lea roee to a bead, of cabbage or, of music, to prefer a harmonious orchestra to a discordant street bind or, of wligion, to prefer piety to profanity- Now, there is no reason why the rule should not work equally in the case of marria e. The maxim that "any husband is better than no husband" had once a great deal of truth in it, for the oondi tion of the unmarried woman was in bigone da8 a forlorn one. She could no more help growing sour than milk in a thunderstorm. Any and every^woman with the most insignificant sprig of a husband could turn up her nose at her and embody a weight of public opi ion to ber contemptuous attitude that few single unfortunates could have the dignity and self respect to stand up against. To dlty, however, the scales tip the other way with a vengeance. mru. Jo»eph PnUtcer. Cor. Missouri Republican. ...K. ....

Everybody knows of Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, propiietor of the New York World, but not all know of his beautiful wife, who is by many considered the handtomest woman in New York. Mrs. Puli ser is rather tall, with a most symmetrical figure she has large black eyes friged with long lashes, a brilliant color, perfect teeth, lovely white eloping shoulders, a head well poised and coils of dark brown hair. Her manner is cordial and fascinating, with now and then a slight pout that is really irresistible.

I met ber the other day at a reception given by Dr. J. Harvey Dew anu his wife, to Miss Winnie D*vis Mrs Dew is a beautiful Southern girl. She has long heen a frier.d of the Davis family. Mrs Puli'ser was a Miss Kate Divis, of Georgetown, C, before ber marriage, and as a young girl her beauty ?ttracted much attention. She wore at this reception a pink eatin dress trimmed with silver lace the corsage was cut low, surrounded by white lace, from which hung crystal pendants, while in front weie three pink ostrich feathers.

Drf-M Coats *nd Vests Combined. London Figaro. Everybody who has got mlo a dress coat knows the difficulty of preventing it from swinging away at the w^istor collar, or slipping oft the shoulders. Toeee apparently irremediable defects— irremediable because the coat can not be buttoned—have, I find, been completely overcome by well known court tailors of Bsdford street, Strand, by attaching the waistcoat to the coat in a very simple manner. Thus, when the vest is buttoned, the coat for all practical purposes is also buttoned. Moreover, the latter then clings to the figure as closely as a frock coat, and remains in the same position, imparting an appearance of smartness about the waist especially, which, in a dress suit, is really of the utmott importance to the wearer. I have no doubt that the drees coat and vest com bined will be very popular during the pteBenl season.

The caftan is the newest turban. Woolen lxce now trims petticoats, not dresses.

No feathers are used on the newest bonnets and tnrbans. Brown in light shades is the favorite color for boucle jackets.

The hair will probibly be drested high for this and another season. Black furs are becoming t#allexcept very pale and sallow women.

Circle cloaks are worn only by elderly women of conservative tastes. White velvet snd whits plash bonnets are now in vogue for evening wear.

Tbe most becoming furs are those which have a shade of brown in them. Ostrich tips and marabouts are the only feathers correctly worn in the even ing.

Jet bonnets are particularly stylish when trimmed with pearl gray feathers and jet and steel pins and combs.

Jabots of lace are again worn on the front of the corsage, beiBg an appendege to the dog collar of lace or velvet.

Corsages are trimmed^ cut, and decorated in every style imsginable so that it does not destroy the long-waisted effect.

B'ack laces, imitation Chantillf and real Spanish, are made np for evening wear as much this winter as in the sum' mer.

Jet nets over velvet and plash bonnets are much in favor. The plash and vel vet may be white, black, red, or any color preferred.

BIG HEIR TO BOMBI'S CAGE.

A New Addition to the central Park Menagei i«—Kftilnocei os Buha.^, Mew York Star.

The sudden death of the late lamented Bombi, the genial and highly esteemed rhinoceros, left a gap in the Central Park men gerie which the new pachyderm can scarcely fill- P"r Bombi caught a cold and kot on. a glorious drunk before he dird, but it was not his fault. He was dot-ed with tbe whisky by the doctors The big rhinoceros which now occnoies mhi cage arrived at Central P*ik I -et eV' niug. H* was purchased in New Orleans, at an auction sale of the aniiiitils tn Cole's ctrcu-. by Superintendent Conk lin oi Central Park Af er tbe auction eer had disposed ,f an assorted lot of lions, tigers, elephants, and other menagerie attractions, hi led out a rhinoct ros by be horn and held it up so everybody cuuld see it

Dr. Conklin, who had his right eye on tbe rhinoceros »nd his left eye on a boa constrictor, bid $500. In the next five minutes tbe rhinoceros ran up to $2 500. and after half an hour of wildlv exciting bidding, Dr. Conklin riff, led $4,200 and took the rhioorceros off tbe auctioner's hands. After bidding in aboaconstric tor. eighteen feet long, at fifty cen8 afoot a centipede at five cents a foot, a pelican, and reyeral other pleasing circus notions, Dr. Conklin prepared to take his purchases away th him.

He put tbe rhinoceros in a circus van, and the van on a fl car. A house was built over the van, and orge Wiliiams a rhinoceros tamer was put ip the house to keep the rhinoceros company. Two army blankets were strapped around the animal and four or five thicknesses of red flannel put around his throat and head to prevent him from catchiug cold as he traveled north. He was so muffled up that nothing of him was visible but his. horn.

At Montgomery, As. the rhinoceros encountered snow about four feet deep, and wheeled and rouged whila many colored people who came to see him were frostbitten. At Cincinnati his horn wss quite blue with crld, and icy shafts pierced his sour-inch hide. At Buffalo there was an icicle on his horn, which made it look about two feet longer than it actually was From that city to the metropolis th# rhinoceros zitiaged across Pennsylvania and New York state like a pachyderm on a wild spree, for the car was so hl*h thai it would not go through a tunnel, and it had to go hundreds of miles to get around sll the tunnels with which Pendsylvania is honeycombed After a two weeks journey the rhinoceros arrived in Jersey City yesterday morning tired, but in good humor.

He is 14 years old, and has been in this country euht years, during which time he traveled incessantly with Cole's circus. He weighs 3,500 pounds, is tall, has legs like a lace horse, and is so lean that can unt his ribs. He was born in the Soudan, and may have seen, or even chased El Mahdi. His circus name was Mungo Park. Dr. Conkliu Las chris tened him

A^reneh H'n1«r Concerning an

(llnh Lord.

Courier de L'Eorope. A certain Eoglish lord having received from Sir Francis Drake a present of some of the first cigars imported into Europe, invited to dinner his leading farmers as well as the mayor and corporation of the adj lining market town. Aftr a suncessioii of courses, to which the bucolic appetite did ample justice, a dish containing the 6n-st productions of Havanna was plsced on the tahli. The dish was handed round. The farmers looked askance at each other, wotid ring where those little, dry, brown sticks of asparagus came from, bui__npr—da«g«_»ta-^4iue8tinn their Am pbit7yon~fot^fear of-hetiij torance. Tbey nudged eicn otlRT with their elbows, and as nobody, except the hosi, knew what to make of the new oisb, every one waited for his neighbor to matte a s'art. At last the mtyor, f-eling himself calld upon to set the example by virtue of his office, took his cigar between his finger and thumb, dipped it into a salt cellar and put it into his mouth. At once the town councilors and farmers began to crunch the strange article of diet, to the great amusement

their bos',

who with much difficulty maintained his composure. After a few moments of silence he said: "Well, how do you like this newdisb?" "De licious, exquisite, stammered ont the mayor, whose face, by this time livid, betray-d horrible internal qualms. "Exquisite I" repeated the guests in chorus, making superhuman eflorts to appear calm. His lordship then got Up, quietly helped himselt to. a cigar, and lighted it, without appearing to notice the angry amssement of his guests. A few minutes later the mayor asked permission to retire on the plea of a pressing engsgemeut at home. All the others did the same.. In the street there ensued a ter iblr scene. Such of the guests who had not succumbed to the terrible effects of "sea"-sickDess took tbe mayor severely to task for the fatal example he had set them. The municipal elections came off in the 1 owing week, when the mayor and the re.iiing council were if •ominionoly beaten.

"I was a natter of forty feet nnder water at the timfe, and I thought Oiy time had come. Yon see, my trade is diving, and I got into the fishing business because I came near getting killed so many times in the other that I thought it would pay to get oat when I was alive* "I had a regal diving rig, and when we got on th# banks I arranged to go down four times a day. The plan wss to take a hamper along and fill it with pearl oysters, and give the word, and the men on deck haul it up. You've never been down, I suppose AeJl, it's a curious sight, eepecially in southern seas, where the water is as clear as the air almost The first time I struck the bottom

I couldn't believe I was there. It was as clear as air, and the l»h« swimming aroaud might have been taken for birds. I landed on a kind of ssnd hill when they lowered, me, and had to walk about fifty feet down into a kind of valley lite before I struck the shells they were ail in a bunch stretched along in a ridge, looking like a black mars against the white bottom. I was dragging the hamper, and when I began to toss them- in. I reckon I had filled half a doien or so, when all at once I saw a kind of shadow moving over all. At first I thought it was the schooner, and then, perhaps, some of the other divers Cuming down, and it left but all at once it came again, and. it grew so dark in a second that I turned qtucK and looked up, and I'm a tellin' you the truti, mister, if my hair hadn't been held dovn by a copper cap it would have ris right on end. Ttiere, amovin' over me, was what I took to be a biid about thirty f-«t across. It was wheeling round bad *-and, fl pping its oig wings, 'just as ,a've seen btitx-irds or eagles do, overhead. Down it came, lower and lower, and 1 a-crouching as flu as 1 could get The nearer it got tbe bigger it leaked, and, as I see it wss a-setiling on me, I took the pike I always carried, and as it wheeled around over me I let drive. Hit it? Well, I reckon I did. The next thing I knew I was standing on my bead, rolling over and over, then yanked sideways, halfdrowned, and thy I reckon 1 loet my senses, and when came to I was lyin' on the deck snd all hands looking at me. You see the critter had given the water such a swirl that I wae knocked end for end, snd my pipe and line twisted around and around so that I couldn't breathe, and of course that palled the line and, the men thought I had jerked it to come up, so they hauled away for all they were worth, and that's what saved my life. "What was it? Why nothin' but one of. those sea bats—blanket fifth, the other men call it—and they all say I had a narrow run for it. That was the way, accordin' to their say, that the fiih goes to work to set away with a man. They first

snd there you are. There wasn't a man that would go down after that for several days, and as for me, I terew up the *b No blanket fish for me. No, I don't hardiy believe the fish wss after me. My idea is that it was coming down on the bank to feed on the oysters, and thst it didn't see me, and plenty of men may have been lost by the fish ge'ting foaled in the line but that's only my idea. I was list as scared as if it had msdea grab afine, and I didn't propose to take any chances." i.

LESSON IN POLITENESS.

which is the Sudan

A very eld man, with long gray hair, which hang down oh*his shoulders, wearing an ancient and rusty high silk hat, boarded a northbound Sixth avenue elevated train at Chamber* street yesterday afternoon. The can were crowded, and on either side sat rows of men hnsily reading newspapers. Among those passenger« standing up were several ladies. Tbe old man took in the situation at a glance, and then, leaning over and touch iog on the siionlder a young man who w*a sitting in the corner said in a load voice: "My boy, get npi and give your seat to this lady. Qod never made you io sit down while a woman.has te stand."

The young man shifted uneasily in his place, muttered something unintelligibly, and looked steadily over his shoulder out of tbe window. "L 10k at all those men sitting down snd letting the ladies stand," shouted the old

man.

"Look at them, I pay. See

the gallan s, the beaux, the courtiers, the dudes. Ah, they are all pretending to read their pipers, but you can see by their conscious faces that they feel

Un-

imfortable They certainly did and one by one they arose, and the laid its smiled and sat dowtn—A_t iSighlh sjreet the old man aXjgat'lB the corner^ bat at the Fourteenth BtieeTWiiea sn olj got in In an instant the exponent oi good manners was on his feet again. 'Sit yon down ttnre, madtm," he said, "take my seat, I am perhaps a little older than some of the other men who are seated, bat perhaps ihey are tired. I will be only 88 years in April, bat I am young enough to know my doty the fair sex. You are all beautiful, be your hair gray or be it golden, let your face be seamed with wrinkles, or have the soft bloom of youth, it matters not But other ladies are standing, I see, and

There, yoong gentleman, I knew voa would get np at lsst. And there is another who lemembers thai his mother is a woman. Oh, bit this is fine this is as it shonld be. What I all the ladies seated 1 Row, boys, let's take care of the women at the end of the trip. Don't let any man be rude at ain. Keep it up."

By this time the passengers were all in roars laughter, and the old man's face was on the broad grin, too. He kept lecturing the mui on politeness until fiftyeight street station Was reached, where he •ot oil, after saying that his nam* was John O'Brien and that his title wW "the Yorkshire R=bel."

The wild boats and sows that were imported from the Harts Mountains by Herman Beiche in the steamer Werra have found a friend in Henry Bergh. That gentleman heard a report that tbe pigs were to be turned loose in Tuxedo Park to be stock in good aaason by the golden youth of .New York. Mr. Berth's acutest sympathies were aroused, and he sent Superintendent Hankinson of his socitty to say to Herman Beiche that the boars and sows st meet death only at the poiat of the' butcher's koife. Mr. Bergh told a reporter that he himself would stop tbe proposed sport in New York, and would quest the society in New Jersey to protect the pigs in the wilds of Tuxedo Perk.

Herman Beiche informed Superintendent Hankinson that the animal', as far aa he knew, were not defined for -Tuxedo Park., He had imported four boars and as many sows from Brans wick on speculation. The elk and buf falo were now almost extinct in the* West, and he hoped to pl»*ae sport-lov-ing people by the intmducti of the wild pig Mr B-iche said th« auperiotandent ght have the lot at$75 a pie e.

Policeman Cullen says that he counted twenty-five, and that there were perhaps half as many more of all sises and kiods. They were weli euough fed as city cats go, but sll bore evident traces of dissipation and a life of late hours and irregularities. They were, in short, a most disreputable colleciion of trsmp cats, and they showed no disposition to leave their apartment, standing at bay and spitting spitefully at the intruders.

Five dead cats were found. In a closet was a dead cit done up in a newspaper, and on a shelf was a life-like cat, a late member of the ang, stuffed with tow and arsenic, and mounted on a board. A big dish of chopped meat stood on the floor. The four legs of an old table were paintless an rough, where the Toms and Tabbies had sharpened their claws after the manner of quarrelsome cats.

The neighborhood had been amused by the news that Mrs. Miner's weil known collection of cats wss to be dispersed, ana the street about the entrance to the house was crowded when Policeman Cullen set to work with a long stick to drive the animals ont.

Just south of the North Chicsgo rolling mills in South Chicago lies a threeacre common, which, until a little more than a year ago, was open and nnoccn pied save by the nbiqaitoas tin can and dog fennel. In the fall of 1886 a party of 200 Polish inhabitants of the southerly environs cf tbe city removed to this spot under the leadership of one of their mpatriots. The three acres were paced •ff into lots and thoroughfares, and nnder a sys ematic plan af co-operation fifty little frame dwellings marked the spot within a we k. Merchants and artisans from the community establiafced them selves, each sfter his special trade er craft, while tbe remainiog adults, both male apd female, secured such employment as the neighboring manufactoriee aflorded or their own ingenuity could deviee. A rude house of worship was thrown np aad a pastor icalled to tbe little parish. About eight monlbs passed in this wise, when several of the elders of tbe community made toe

I dropped into a barber's chair lsst night for a shave. The yoong colored msn who handled the rasor was a char acter. He told me that he shaved many of the prominent men of the country. Said he: "Speaker Carlisle is a hard man to shave. He has an angular, roughbearded face. He drops into the chair and does not say a word until be gets out of it, except when be is afraid of being cut.' He is mighty close as to money matters, and he loves tbe lucre. We charge heie fifteen cents If Carlislecan not make the change by five cents he will say: 'Just remember thst, and I will take it off of my next shave.' If we happen to forget it he does not, and he will say: 'You know I gave you five cents too much last time, and so thisdime will make us tqnarr.'. "I shaved Steve Elkins a number of timeartbis summer. He is a light-haired, full-faced fellow, with a soft beard. He has an easy face to aha^e, and is a pleasant man in a barber's chair. He talk3, bnt he doea not waste word" on the weather. He chooees big subjects, and is a liberal convener.

Texas or Illinois, or the shell-bark or mocker-nut of the central or eastern states, the amusement is the same. They are the best nuts tbe forests of North America produce, and some nf them are thought to be superior in fltvortothe much esteemed English walnut.

Year after year have hundreds and thousands of bushels of the shell-bsrks, the hickory note par excellence, been gathered in Various parts of the country. Among these, few can have failed to notice the many differences tbey present.

Some are small and nearly round some

are long, narrow and angular some have think shells, and some thin cues, as sny one who has cracked his fingers along with the shell can bear witness

According to evolutionary doctrines, variability in an important feature is an indication either of a low state of development. or that the organism is in state of advancement. Various facta show the latter to be the case with the shell-bark hickory. The first stages of the onward march mnst be sought far back in prehistoric times, for it boasts an aneient if not aa honored lineage Before tbe hairy mammoth roamed the forests of the Ohio valley before the sol of Louisiana was yet above the ocean's waters before the O^iio had become tributary to the Mississippi bp/ore even the Borky mountain range had been elevated ab ive tbe waste of waters, the ancestors of tbis hickory flourished in the land.
