LEYI P. MORION IN FRANCE

The Great Work He Accomplished in the Interests of American Trade. The Social Features of His Residence in Paris as Onr Minister to the Toun? Republic Marked bj Lare Ilospitalitj. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. Paris. Sept. 27. "When Mr. Morton armed In France, in the tomtnir cf 1SS1. as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States," saya a member of the Peris bar, "not a single American corporation conld collect by legal proeesa one single cent that was owing to them in Franee from the meanest of her citizens, and, what is perhaps still more amazing, the United States was the only country that remained under this disability. Nor was the task cf removing this disability the easier on this aoeonnt. Ko country affords- a more natural market for French products than America; no country imposes upon thcte products a more prohibitive tariff. Conceive, .hen, the difficulty of asking of France a favor in face of the faet that she has not till now been able to obtain from the United States the merest reciprocity. I confess I am at a loss to imagine what arguments Mr. Morton could have used in order to effect hie purpose, so flagrantly doe America t&nd condemned before the very tribunal where he bad to seek redress. "The decree emancipating American corporations from this disability was published in the Journal OlSeic! cn Aug. 9, 1832. As to the fruits of it, the director of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, the director of the New York Life Insurance Company, the counsel of the Singer Manufacturing Company, and a host of other American corporations which hare interests in France can testify. Another matter in which Mr. Morton was ealled to proteet American interests is now generally known as the pork question. An English ' eonsn in Philadelphia, having heard of a family alleged to have been poisoned by trichinae, immediately announced this e? ent to his government, and the result was that all the European ports were immediately closed to American pork. Nevertheless, Mr. Morton's influence ' with the French Ministry was sufficiently great to obtain a decree revoking1 the prohibition. This deeree was actually published in the Journal Official of Nov. 27, 16S3, ana would, to-day, be law, had not a Tote of the Chamber of Deputies OTerruled it. That the Chamber should ezelude American pork, notwithstanding a ministerial decree to the contrary, is a matter orer which 'Mr. Morton had co control, and ewuld exert no influence. As a matter of fact, it only serves to heighten the credit attribotable to Mr. Morton for having in- ' dneed the government to whieh he was accredited to publish the deeree he asked for, in spite of the existence in the country of a feeling strongly opposed to it. "Mr. Morton had a still more difficult part to play when the American Congress imposed a trsctically prohibitive tariff on fore ten works of art. A minister a duty is to defend, not to criticise, the acts of the government he represents; officially, therefore, it was difficult for him to frotest against this bill; and yet, living as he did n a cspital whieh is recognized as the greatest of all schools of art, amone a people who extend to Americau citizens every advantage in the shape of artistio culture cratuitons education, an equal footing in thel exhibitions, a lar;e share in their award of prizes he could not but feel that the exclusion of French works of art from the shores of the United States was an act not only of folly but of ingratitude. In the singularly delicate position in which Mr. Morton stood. I cannot but admire his independence in not hesitating to explain to his, covernment the character of sueh a duty on French art. His able and exhaustive dispatch on this subject so far met with the approval of President Arthur that he communicated it to . Congress, and there is every reason to hope that it will there meet some day with the consideration it deserves. Americans have also to congratulate themselves upon his personal retentions, not only with the French Ministry, but with French artiste, which prevented them from carry ins out the system of reprisal, which wr so loudly and so justly urged by a large part of the French press. Before art, differences of i lanruage disappear, and national boundaries ' cease to exist. And this effacement of national bound arise, 31 r. Morton (though by virtue of his office a ehampion of a particular national boundary), did not hesitate to advocate. "1 have said nothing about the important and efficient part Mr. Morton played in the negotiations of peace between France and China; I have said nothing about the treaty for the pi tectieo of submarine cables, about the patent convention and about a host of other matters in which he sustained American interests in a manner to eemmand the respect of othtrs as well as tt affection of his fellow-countrymen." Such, briefly stated, is an nnvsrnished account of the more business side of Mr. Morton a career while American minister at Paris. But the history of his mission would be far from complete if we w re to pass over in silence the social side et his residence in this eity. Few American ministers in France bve equaled Mr. Morton in large hospitality, and none, I feel sure, have ever enrpassed him. It was this social elemeat at the American legation which made a deep impression in Free eh circles. Let ' rue quote, in support of this assertion, the opinN . Ions of Mr. Morton expressed on varions occasions by high French official and public men. J t will thus be seen what an important element the drawing-room is in modern diplomacy. And richt h.re let me say, that Mrs. Morton divides wi'h her husband tle honours of the social success of the Amvriean legation from 1SS1 to- 1S33. When Mr. Morton ealled at the Ely.ee Palace to bid farewell to the President, M. Grevy caid: It is with deep regret that we witness your departure. We bar alwaje appreciated your bjb character and rreat courtesy; you have won the sympathy of all, and Lcnly with that the custom and tradition of the two eocLtriei permitted me to ask as a favor your retention in oftie. Mr. .Morton's departure will al.o be rjeatly regretted, as she has made herself universally popular by her remarkable tact and amiability. At the farewell banquet (riven in Mr. Morton's honor at the Hotel Continental, M. Floquet. then President of the Chamber of Deputies, and cow President of the Council of Ministers, said: Pray accept without, scruple, dear Mr. Morton, in the ppirit In whie'a we convey them to you and without reserve, our thanks for tee manner in which you bare discharged your duties among us. All who have h en brought into contact with you and who have k-iown you can find nothing" but pra:se for you, acd erer remain cvatef al te you. Please convey alio t Mrs. Morton our respectful homage. Her tx i uifite qualities rendtred her worthy to be at the head of that brilliant American eolony which constitutes one of the most graceful ornaments of our Parisian society, lier charms of manner and mind blended well with the courteous gravity of your temper and habits, acd have made your house one of those in which hospitality was of the most amiable kind and eazerly sought after. Be sere that among us neither of you wilt be forgotten; and. when you are far away, preserve a lit lie remembrance of us, and arrept this evening our sad and cordial, and, if I may be allowed to say it, our fraternal f&rewelL On the same occasion M. Rene Goblet, then Minister of Public Instruction and now Minister cf Foreign Affairs, said: I cannot rise without thanking the organizers of this banquet for the opportunity thus once again afforded me of expressing to Mr. Morton the sentiments . esteem and sympathy he leaves behind him in ciuitting oureountry. Mr." Morton has taken the very best means of making himself beloved in Frat.ee by . showing his own love tor our country. Nothing could more surely gain the heart of France. Senator Lafayette, grandson of America's great friend, spoke as follows: ririn5 his mission in France, the worthy representative of the United States, has shown himself to be the Ixiend of our Country, and he has known how to become acquaintedwith, to appreciate and admire our tiost eminent public men. Kothintr, therefore, could frive us Frenchmen more pleasure than to unite to do him honor. As for rnye.f. I can never forget the mar) s of affection which Mr. Morton and his fellowcountrymen have always shown for the memory of Lafayette, the companion in arms and the friend of Washington. 11. e Marquis of Roehsmbeau, on rising, said: We are her, to say good-bye to the amiable gentlerain, to the cordial minister whose sojourn with us has been only too short. In less than four years Mr. and Mrs. Morton have won the approbation of every, body, ar.d, I may say it without fear of contradiction, rone better than they bare known how to keep alive the old friendship which unites France and America. At the moment of their arrival, in 181, I had the plrtnre of seeing the starry banner and the tricolour vet-inr: aether in the breeze on the site of the mem-rsbl-I attle of Yorktown. For the first time since a hundred years s?o the cannon of the two countries thundered together once more in honor of the centennial anniversary of the old alliance. When we returned. Mr. Morton seized the opportunity to again (repress upon us and the French publie that the fraternal bonds of the past still .eld the two cations firmly together. And again, on the occasion of the presentation f the original model of the Statue of Liberty to the ty of Paris, Mr. Morton ocee more dwelt upon tho sympathy for us which exists in the United States. ms tJe same of ancient France, I wish to tLank you.

Mr. Morton, and to drink to the perpetuity of tle friendly relations which you have so nobly advanced. Commenting on this banquet and the speeches, the London Times said: Mr. Morton, indeed, during his four yenrs residence in Paris, has shown great hospitality and has realized the type of modern ambassadors, who succeeded in inspiring affection for their own nations by manifesting affection for the nation to which they are accredited. Admirably seconded by Mr. Morton, he has given the Legation an eroicentlr social character, his brilliant receptions being attended not only by the numerous members of the American colony, but by French guests who hava found it a neutral ground such as is now rarely offered by French salons. This signal testimony of gratitude on the part of the Americans was therefore amply deserved, while it was equally just that Frenchmen should join in the expression of esteem inspired by Mr. Morton during his too brief stay. The London Standard said: Such a tribute of sympathy and goodwill to a diplomatic aent oa his retirement is without a precedent in the French capital. Although laboring under the disadvantage of not speaking the lanruage of the country to which he was accredited, Mr. Morton more than efficiently discharged one of the most important duties of diplomacy, that of cementing a feeling of cordiality and friendship between the cation he represented and that where he resided. In this branch of his functions Mr. Morton was powerfully aided by the accomplished lady who has presided so gracefully over the hospitalities of .the United States Legation. But it was not only the French official world that greeted Mr. and Mrs. Morton's departure, and was high in praise of the manner in which he bad conducted the Legation. The American colony in this city also gave Mr. Morton a warm farewell, at the large banquet already mentioned. In the invitation to this banquet occurs the following passage: During the four years that you lave represented the United States in this capital, you have strengthened the bonds that unite the two republic, and you have secured for our eitizecs in France advantages which they did not previously possess. Your home has been the center of a most generous and genial hospitality; to every work of charity you have been a devoted friend and supporter; yon have extended to every citizen of our country, however humble, assistance and protect iou whenever needed, and, in the long list of distinguished men who have filled the eminent position of American Minister in Prance, we feel there is net one who has been more faithful and devoted in maintaining national interests. This letter of invitation, beautifully engrossed on parchment and presented to Mr. Morton, was signed, irrespective of party, by a score or more of the leading members of the colonv, including such names as Admiral Baldwin, U. S. N.; the late George Walker, United States Consul-general; John Munroe, J. IL Harjes and William Selieman, the Franco-American bankers; Mosler, Bridgman and Harrison, the artists, and others. Mr. Morton's hotel on the Palace des EtatsUnis so named in his honor by the Municipal council was, as has already been stated, a center of large hospitality. All tbe prominent members of the American colony were invited to dine with the minister at least once each season, and traveling Americans, whatever their politics might be, were also sure to receive an invitation to Mr. Morton's table, whether they earn with a letter of introdoction or not If they had attained any eminence in their own community as politicians, men of letters, or merchants, they forthwith became the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Morton From a long list 1 select snch names as Robert C. Wintbrop, Cbauncy M. Depew, the late Vice-President Hendricks, Cornelius Vacderbilt, D. O. Mills, Bancroft Davis, ex-Senator James B. Eustis, Senator R. L. Gibson, Senator John tt. McPhersoo, General E. F. Noyes, Henry R. Piersoo, John Hay, and Robert M. McLane, when a member of Congress. . Mr. Morton's spacious dining-room made it possible to seat at table on the same evening the whole French Cabinet with their under secretaries, or the whole diplomatic corps. His dinner parties, therefore, almost resembled Cabinet councils, while tbe diplomats of Paris could meet and compare notes quite as freely in the drawing-room of tbe American minister as in the salons of the palace of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The greatest ren of France and of Europe have thus brc aen bresd with Mr. and Mrs. Morton or attended tbe grand bails given each season in their richly-fcrnished parlors. Gambetta, Jules Ferry, Floquet, Louis Blanc. Paul Bert, the Count of Paris, the Marquis de Lafayette, the Duke de Broglie, Pere Uyacinthe. Ferdinand de Lesseps, Mm. Adsm, Bartboldi, Prince Roland Bonaparte, Lord Lyons, Bishop di Ronde of Italy, Count Orlof of Russia. Castelar, Prince Ilohenloe, now Governor of Alsace-Loraine such are a few of the Europeans of all parties od professions who attended festivities at the American Legation. And tbe viands served on these occasions were always worthy of the guests. I cnee heard tbe late M. Molard, introducer of ambassadors, say that there were but two booses in Paris where yon could get a really superior dinner, and one of the two was the American legation, Mr. Morton's chef batng one of the best cooks in this city famous for its cuisine. Such is a fair, but inadequate, account of Mr. Morton's mission to this country. While much more might have been said, I thins; I have written enough to show Americans that, during Mr. Morton e stay in this capital, they were worthily represented, and that he did not a little to biod more closely together the two great republics of the world.

ODD THINGS IX LOWER LIFE. During a recent storm near Sylvania, Oa., a large terrapin wa3 rained down in the yard of Hiram Larrisey. A snake with two heads, two talis, and joined together in the middle by a ligature is a South Carolina curiosity. The fabled jabbsrwock has turned up again in the shape of a nondescript animal caught by a fisherman at Atlantic City. A horned snake, eighteen inches Ion?, with a horn one and one-fourth inehes, was killed last week near Rockwood, Tenn. A Georgia cat has boen trained to carry notes to youn ladies, and its services are in constant demand by the young men of the village. A milk-white gopher snake, seventeen feet six inches long and having part of bis tail cut off at that, has just been slain down in Glynn county, Georgia. Clayton, UL, boasts ot a Maltese eat that lores water even better than a eocker spaniel. It has been trained to retrieve, and will be used by its owner for that purpose when tbe wildfowl season opens. A hawk pounced down on a pigeon in the public square at Washington,. Ga., a short time sinee, and a lively tussle ensued. The hawk had finally to leave without his prey, but the ground was left strewn with feathers. Near Darlington, S. C, some time ago, a gentleman bad a turkey gobbler that insisted upon taking a nest He was accommodated with some guinea fowl eggs, and on Friday last 'he cam off with his brood and is now taking dne care of them. A black snake sixteen feet long and nineteen Inehes in diameter has its home in a swamp on the Mianus river. Connecticut. It has been seen regularly every summer for eleven years, hut it is so agile that huntsmen are unable to get within killing distance. A Halifax fisherman found an uncorked bottle of ebampagne in a big cod whieh he captured the other day. He and his friends bad a dinner shortly afterward, and they affirmed the champagne was exceileot, although it had a perceptible fishy smell. The mystery is how the bottle got inside the fish uninjured. A valuable mare, owned by Peter Gumear, of Port Jervis, N. Y., suffered from a painful disease. Two surgeons treated her, which only augmented her suffering. When she was turned loose again she immediately trotted-nff to a ahallow stresm of water, and, wading into one of the deeper pools, she plnnged her head under water and held it there until she sank down, first upon her knees, and then upon her side, and was drowned. Mrs. Jensen, of Little Ferry, N. J., owns a cat that baa formed a curious attachment for a large toad that has its home in tbe garden, pussy evidently enjoys the strange friendship she has formed, ana since thefirstdsy she found the toad peacefully sleeping on a stone in the sunshine and joyously took it gently by its shonlder with her teeth and earried it into the house, she has done the same thing every day. She spends an hour each day in tossing the toad into the air and catching it, like a ball, allowing it to move a few yards away from her. and crawling slowly after it or bounding straight upon it from a distance, and flattening it out on the floor. Sometimes she varies the monotony by inviting the toad to play leap-frog, much to the amusement of the children. o Use for Illm. Chicago Tribune. "If this is your final answer, Miss J robin a on," the young man said, with ill-concealed chagrin, as he picked dd his bat and turned to go, M can d nothing but submit Yet, has it ever occurred to you that when a lady passes toe age of thirty-seven she is not likely to find herself as much sought after by desirable young men as she once wasP "It occurred to me with sudden and painful distinctness when you offered yourself just now, she replied.

Just forty years before, the divine commands were given to the people to prepare for a sudden march out of Egypt. This tenth of Nisan commemorated the first arrangements for the first Passover feast, when their fathers began the exodus. Now their children were summoned to assemble on the banks of the Jordan and to witness a great miracle. Bat the most careful preparations had been made, as though everything depended on human foresight and strength. Joihaa had ordered them to prepare victuals (Josh, i, 11); be had secured a promise from the tribes of Reuben and Gad, whose possessions were to be on this east sida of the Jordan, to lead the host across the river, he also sent men over secretly to spy out the land, and they brought back a most encouraging report that the people of Canaan were frightened and faint because of the coming of Israel, having heard of the drying op of the Red sea and tbe utter destruction of the kings of the Amorites (ii, 9, 10). Joshua removes from Shittim, tbe upper level, and goes to the lower backs of Jordan, where he issued his final orders (iii, 1-4), and on the morrow all were to be ready to follow the ark aeross the river into the land of Canaan. HINTS AND HELPS FOR TEACHERS Points to Study Up First, what were the divine commands as to sanctifying ourselves? 2. What was the ordinary method and plan of march with tbe ark of the covenant, and why changed here! 3. What is meant by the 1 'brink", and the "banks" of the Jordan. 4. What parts of the country were occupied by the different tribes cf their enemies! 5. What were the twelve men of verse 12 selected for! C. What was the method of securing the dry land to cross over on! 7. Did they leave their tents be.hind theml & What time of the year did this occur! 9. What city marss the place of the crossing. Points for Class-talks 1. "Sanctify yourselves." How far can we personally fit ourselves to receive and obey tbe word of the Lord? 2. The "priests went before tbe people'' with the ark of tbe covenant. Some must do the planning and thinking. The many wait to be led, and will follow a genuine leader. 3. "Stand still in Jordan. It was seemingly a dangerous place to stop, but, after all, as safe as on the shore. Some Christians must stand in the perilous plscss as an encouragement to others. 4. "Come and hear the words of the Lord." We listen to man, but it you would have courage and strength, stop here and listen; search and find what God says. a. "Out of every tribe a man." The wisdom of getting representatives of all classes and conditions into every movement. You cannot tell which tribe or man may be most important io battle. C "Behold, the ark passeth over before you." Look, and see if the Lord does not to-day stand in some Jordan of difficulty, waiting for the tribes of Israel, the members of the church, to follow after his standard. 7. "And the waters stood and rose up upon a heap." They met some unseen barrier and could go no further. When the Lord plesses bo can bring in bis hirher laws of power to control the lower or natural laws, as we call them, just as the sun's attraction draws np the water into tbe clouds against the law of gravitation. 6. "And all tbe Israelites passed over on dry ground." So the Lord literally keeps bie covenant. Al! passed over. There was quick, orderly motion, butho nndoe haste. CENTRAL APPLICATION. Every age and church has before It some Jordan of difficulty, something that blocks no the way. To sit down on this side is to insure cowardice and discontent. To meet It bravely, in the name of the Lord, is often to find a

strangely united people and a still more strange opening of the way over. To rest on this side means that the forces of Israel will disintegrate as before Ksdesh. Given brave, clear beaded leadership, and the church would soon be on its wsy to conquest. Religious Nates. Is not prayer also a study of truth-a sally of tbe soul into tbe nnfound infinite! No man ever prayed heartily without learning something. R. W. Emerson. An exchange says that the Anti Sunday Traveling Union has existed in this country forabout four years, and that it has now about six thousand enrolled members. Horace Greeley once wrote: "It is impossible to enslave mentally or socially a Bible-reading people, for the principles of the Bible are the groundwork of human freedom." The Swedish Augustsna Synod (Lutheran) has become a particularly strong body, embracing 545 congregations and 70.224 communicants. Tuirty-eight years ago there was but one Swedish Lutheran minister in America Tbe Burnham House, at Round Lake, N. Y., has been purchased by Mrs. Newman, wife of Bishop J. P. Newmao, for $13,000. The building is to be converted into a home for missionaries who return totbis country for rest. The churches wsnt ministers who will "draw." The load would be more likely to move if the churches would draw with tbe preacher. A full team can always pull a larger load than one horse ean draw. Try tbe full team idea in your church. Miss Greenwood, of Brooklyn, N. Y., has been preaching during tbe past summer at Cbapinville, Conn., where she has attracts large audieuecs. She ie also to preach the annual sermon of the national W. C T. U. convention. People say a ebnrch is a holy place. So It is, if holy people be in it; not else. The kingdom is within you, not in stones. Where is the holiest place oa earth? Where sonis breathe the holiest vows, ana execute the most heroic purposes. F. W. Robertsoo. A muddy stream flowing into one clear and sparkling, for a timo rolls on by itself. A little further down they unite, and the whole is impure. So youth untouched by sin may for a short time keep its purity in fool company, bat a little later und they mingle. "The religious consciousness,'' says the Christian World, "is a supreme fact of human nature. Christianity is tbe supreme form in which tbe religious consciousness has been interpreted and bodied forth. Therefore, it a man is to obey tne grand Snakspearian canon of being true to himself, he will continue Christian. "How is it, said a Christian man to his companion, as they were both returning from bearing tbe saintly Brarowell, "bow is it that Bro. 13 ram well always tells us so much that is newT The companion answered: "Bra Bramwell lives so near the gates of heaven that be learu9 a great many things which the rest of us do not get near enough to hear." J. H. Hitchens. Blessed are tbe ears tbat gladly receive the pulses of the divine whisper, and give no heed to the many whisperings of this world. Blessed are tbe eyes which are shut to outward things, but are intent on things within. Blessed are they that eoter far into inward things, and endeavor to prepare themselves daily more and more for tbe rsceiving of heavenly secrets. Thomas a-Kempis. Says the Boston Pilot: "When the first Catholic congregation was organized, there were but forty-three Catholics in Portland, and probably not as many more in tbe rest of the State. Yet to-day, in the diocese of Portland, which includes the whole State, Catholics number 135,000 out of a total population of abeut 700,000. They have fifty -two churches and eight chapels, 113 religious teachers, four academies, and fourteen parochial schools, with nearly 4,000 pupils." There is no human being With so wholly dark a lot. But tbe heart by turning the pictureMay find the sunny spot. rhcebe Cary. Heed how thou litest. Do no act by day Which from the uight shall drive thv pace away. In months of sun so live that months of rain Shall still be happy. Evermore restrain Kvil and cherish good, so shall there be Another and hanpier life for thee. ! ' -Whittier. From every piercing sorrow, Tbat heaves our breasts to-day, Or threatens us to-morrow. Hope turns our eyes away; On wings of faith ascending. We see the land of light, And feel our soitows ending In infinite delight. Joseph Cctte. A Barbarous Relic or Puritanism. Boston Transcript. Wilmington. DeL, on Saturday enjoyed the elevating spectacle of eleven men publicly whipped, five of whom, sore from the lash, afterwards stood in the piMory. The whipping attracted a great crowd, but only a few lingered to look at tbe wretched objeets in the pillory. Those commentators who alwajs associate

Puritanism and tbe pillory should make a note of the fact that the only State in which the pillory exists is one in which the Puritans never had auy interest. AMEL1E RI VEK.S-CirANLE.lt.

Oer Methods of Work She elves the True Version of the Conflrraetlon Story. New York Press. Mrs. Amelle Rivers-Chanler is a beautiful woman, and in that unique particular the stories floating about in regard to ber are true. She has tbe kind of beauty that both men and women admire. A wealth of golden hair the very shade that hair bleachers would eive the world to copy worn io a loose knot in the back of the neck and in fluffy pompadour curls in front; large brown eyes, the expressive kind; and most unusual of all tbat is, with blonde bair the blackest and longest of lashes; eyebrows only a little darker tban the bair, therefore Mrs. Chaoler must always escape the accusation of dyeing hers; a fresn complexion which is enhanced instead of disfigured by the tiny mole on the right cheetc, and teeth which even ivory cannot match. If smiles and a pleasant, cordial manner denote amiability, then Mrs. Chanler has that virtue, for in spite of having been deluged with interviews all day yesterday, she submitted once more to a list of questions. "Are yon to be in New York long!n asked the writer. "No," answered Mrs. Chanler. "My husband and I go to ttokeoy, Mr. Chaoler s house on the Hudson, to-morrow, and remain there one week, and then we return to Virginia. We arrived here yesterday, and I was ill most of the day. I haven't been out of tbe house, and I feel a weight at my head as if a vefl had been thrown over it and deadened my senses. "No, I am not engaged on any work. I write only in the winter, never in the summer. I know you wish to ask my method of producing a story, and I can only say that except In planning a plot, before beginning work, I have no method. 1 wait for the spirit to move, but it generally moves every day when I am once started on a subject I have no particular piece of work in mind at present, but 1 mean to commence a novel soon which will take a year or two to finish. We go to Parij in December, although we do not expect to make our home there, as reported. I dare say we shall be back in tbe spring." "Are you to remain in Paris all winterr "Yes. We shall only stay in England a week or two on the way to Paris. It will be my first visit abroad. At Newport this summer I was told by the English people 1 met that my manners and speech were rather English. 1 was invited to their houses as a result. Do you know I never had been in Massachusetts until this summer, in spite of that pretty little tale about my wrapping myself up in something peculiar and lying in the bottom of a dory oS the coast there while a boy rowed me to shore. I don't know what a dory is, and was never in a row boat more tban four time in my life. That was a fabrication from beginning to end. About tbe confirmation story there was just enough truth to answer as foundation. I was indeed confirmed last spring and in my father's house. I had made known my desire to become a member ot the church to Assistant Bishop Kandoiph, of Virginia, an old friend of the family, but in May, when tbe confirmation class was to come before tho bishop, I was so ill I could not leave my room. Bishop Kandoiph eame to see me, spending several hours at the house. It was decided that I could not go out. and the bishop then suggested that I should be confirmed at home. I was able to get down stairs the next day, my father almost carrying me, and at a time appointed by the bishop I was confirmed. My hair was arranged just as it is now not flowing in the disheveled manner described, and I wore a simple white tea gown. I cannot imagine wby I am said to do eccentric things. I was not even peculiar as a child, and I have always lived in my country home in the manner of ordinary people. My father is proud of my work, and. I may perhaps say, is proud of me, and when be bears all these queer stories he laughs at them, wheh is a great comfort to me. Fortunately I am not fond of reading the newspapers, but my husband sees the different paragraphs, and he and some ot the other members of the family are exercised as to what kind of a strange, mythical being the world thinks I am. I like to wear pretty gowns, but I do not wind myself up in the mysterious tbinrs and wslk about in the nameless kind of drapery in which I am pictured." The lady readers will be interested in knowing that when seen in her sitting-room at the Brevoort House Mrs. Chanler was dressed in a cotton gown of some light bine washing fabric, simply made. The waist had a yoke and was belted with blue ribbon. At tbe neck was worn a broad Vandyke collar of Irish lace, and the same heavy texture served as cuffs for full sleeves. The only bit of jewelry wssaplain wedding ring. These are still "honeymoon" days for Mr. and Mrs. Chanler, but "my wife" and "my husband'' seeta to come easily to the lips of the young couple. Mr. Chanler is a tall and fine-looking man, and, altogether, quite the sort of individual for a girl to fall in love with. Best of all he seems proud to be Mrs. Cbanler's husband. "Before you go," said the fair lady, as her interviewer was about to take leave, "I wish to say tbat I love women.

Jewelers' Review. In inkstands an extremely odd design is a bronze sea serpent resting on its fins and holding its body in a perpendicalar position. In the crown of tbe head is a small well. Red and yellow tints lined with gold a re .the mere pronounced tones in decorated porcelain this year, and when they are skillfully bandied they are exceedingly handsome. What might be termed a piscatorial brooch is a fishing-basket held between two lines, at the ends of which dangle two tiny trout, all pro-J aucea wun variegated gou. A handsome ornament of foreign manufacture is a large steel helmet, artistically engraved, with a clock in the center iu place of a visor. Tbe newest thing ont is a thin snake finger ring with a striped enamel skin, bearing a striking resemblance to the reptile it simulate. Horse shoes, composed of two rows of garnets and made, up as4 earrings are very becoming to young ladies. Quite a novelty in scarf pins is a small gold coc-wbeel attached to a miniature draughting compass. The old narrow-necked cruse for vinegar and oil is giving way to the handy flagon of satin glass. High silver gilt vase3 lately introduced have the surface stamped out like alligator skin. Chocolate pots and ovide cups are taking the plsce of 4 o'clock teas this f alb New umbrella handles are in the form of a rams born, of oxidized silver.

A BRIGHT WOMAN FINANCIER Miss Mary Garrett Would It a Worthy Successor of Der Iirother Robert. Boston Commercial Bulletin. Miss Mary Garrett, daughter of tbe late John W. Garrett, founder of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, is better able to manage the affairs of tbat corporation than ever her brother Robert was, if we are to believe the stories told ot her financial ability. For many years before her father's death she was his chief assistant, and although the fact is not generally known, she now controls and manages the Garrett Interest in the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Although personally directing the management of a property worth not less than $20,000,000, Miss Garrett is almost unknown to business msn, because her cense of modesty will not permit her to assume an individual control wnich both her capacity for financial affair amf direct control of millions of money would enable her to da It is, perhaps, ouite unnecessary to state that she is a very different person from Mrs. Hetty Green. Her knowledge of the road and its management gives ber a position in the councils of tbat corporation not possessed by any other individual. When her father was living Miss Garrett was his private secretary and trusted even above any of tbe old gentlemen's sons. After .the death of her father Miss Garrett's influence over her brother, Robert Garrett, was so marked that it became a matter of current talk in Baltimore. But there were eertain theories held by her brother which even tbe influence which she had over him could not successfully combat. When the schemes which led to tbe Invocation of the aid of the Drexel syndicate culminated Robert Garrett saw tbe wisdom of his sister's councils, which he had failed to follow and be practically surrendered to her the management ot his interests in the road. When he started on bis tour around tbe world bis sister followed and overtook him at San Francisco, where be was induced to give her the coatrol of all of his inter

ests in the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. Recently, when the syndicate which bad helped the Baltimore & Ohio out of the di faculties in which tthad unwittingly been plunged, began to haggle about tbe commissions and threatened to place tbe road in an embarrassing position. Miss Garrett quietly brushed them all aside, put up tbe needed cash and saved the credit of the company. Since the recent death of her brother, T. Harrison Garrett, Miss Mary Garrett s control of the Garrett estate has become practically unlimited durinr Robert Garrett's absence from the United States. Miss Garrett is a most unassuming lady, and would never be taken for a great financier, as she is, at first sight She is not fond of notoriety, and in manners and habits is a most domestic and home-loving woman. She wor-. shiped ber father, and her most ardent hope is to see tbe great road which he built and brought to such great importanee kept np to tbe position where he left it and perpetuated as one of the great institutions of the country.

What a Time People formerly had, trying to swallow the old-fashioned pill with it3 film of magnesia vainly disguising its bitterness ; and what a contrast to Ayers Tills, that have been well called ".medicated sugar-plums" the only fear being that patients may be tempted into taking too many at a dose. . But the directions are plain and should be strictly followed. J. T. Teller, M. D., of Chitbenango, N. Y., expresses exactly what hundreds bavo written at greater length. Ho says: " Ayer's Cathartic Pills are highly appreciated. They aro perfect in form end coating, and their effects are all that the most careful physician could desire. They have supplanted all tha Pills formerly popular here, and I think it must be long before any other can be made that w ill at all "compare with them. Those who buy your pills got full value for their money.' "Safe, pleasant, and certain in their action," is tho concise testimony of Dr. George E. Walker, of Martinsville, Virginia.
