In 1858 thty returned, and sang for the Queen at Windsor.

"When a woman can realize $43,000 in four wetls in Bcston, and $11,000 in any cneweck she chooses to play m Philadelphia, she certainly would be very foolish to Jeave the stage.

John Adams said: "The appearance of religion on Sunday proves that it is only an appearance.' Fuller iays: "He that falls into sin is a man; that grieves at it may ba a saint; that boaateth of it is a devil." "When a man talki about heaven on Sunday, and then spends the week in trying to build one, he has a pretty good house to live in after a while. "Neuralgia" is the name borne by a charming girj o( Iowa. Iler mother found it cn a medicine bottle and was captivated by its sweetness.

There are many people in society who have simply received the brevet rank of gentlomen and ladies, but who have not yet attained to the full posscsaion of the title. Tho most glaring inconsistency cf the age is that ot the convict who protested against the chaplain of the prison because he waa a Univerealist, and then demanded the services of an old-fashioned Calvinist. In heaven, we are told, there is more joy over one sinner that repenteth than over ninety-and-nine who have never gone astray. It is just the other way hare below. There is more oy over one righteous man who gees astray than over ninety-and-nine thousand sinnera'who have, kept at it all thoir lives. Boston Transcript.

A Mississippi man was asking the way to 'tho big water tank," which was his disrospectful way of reforring to the "Probasco fountain," in Cincinnati. Further questions revealed the fact that he came there to havo one of hia eyes taken out; "but I don't mind a little thing like that," stid he. "We Southerners are a warlike race, and used to any Jcind of hard knocks. Daring the war I was a member of the old Forty-first Mis eissippi regiment, and at Corinth and ParryTille I shot away 'more leal than a mulo could haul yet, understand, I was no rebel but if I was in h I would have fit f? the devil." The other evening t!i ore happanI to brt sitting in a Madison avenue car a number of men of noticeably different nationalities. An unmistakable Englishman calmly waited until the car came to a dead standstill before he compe se jly left even the door. The German suddenly rose with a bounce, bolted for the door, and, on the steps callel for the car to stop. An Irishman strongly broko his way through a crowd and buTipoi against a fellow countryman wh j was trying to get on the car. An American swung himself olf while the car was In rapid motion, had to run a half dozen stops to catch up himself, and swore becau'o he got off a block too soon. N. S Herald. In certain parts of Africa, so the cable telb us, they have caught about fifty witches and turned every one of them. Whethor the people guessed that they were witches or how they convinced themselves deponent saith not. The simple and encouraging fact remains, however, that fifty womos, young and eld, were roasted by the authorities" Perhaps they had table tippiogs and rappic gs, or they may have gathered the dusky and deluded inhabitants into a "dark seance" and banged their woolly heads with a guitar that went roistering round, or they mäy have materialized certain raothora-in-law and first or second wives that were supposed to be safely out of the way. During the recent visit of the Princes Louise to Boston a very handsome little fellow Btajing at the same hotel, who was a general favorite among the gueat3, chancel to be in tho hallway one morning when her Koyal IIighno!s was passing on the way to her apartments. Fond of marble-ahooting, and having no one to play with just then, ha politely asked the distinguished lady, whom he Cid rot then know, to havo a game with him. She was so pleased with the charming manner of tho boy that sheprcmtly accerj'ed his invitatio n, and a little time was spent ia jelly epcrt. In the coureo of the play the little chsp learned that his fair antagonist was a person of verv great 5mporUnco, but her eitct title passed quickly from hia mind, if indeed ho caught it at all. Aftorwird, when Lü mamma asked him whero ho hal
been, he said, with a boastful shake of his
head, "Uh, 1 ve been playing marbles with the ueen of Sheba.' I believe the remark to be nartlv true that the sense of being perfectly well dressed gives to a woman s manner a calm repose anything else is powerless to bestow. I remember a dear little friend of mine who attended a reception, and whose gown was a joy to beholders. "But if you knew what I suflerea with my gloves,"- the said auerarard. "I had spent all my allowance in riotous ruffling, lace and things (when a woman has been extravagant, she always calls her parchases 'things ), and I hadn't a penny left for gloves. 1 had a dozen pair at home that had been worn only once. BMng Swale, they were a littlo soiled, but I picked out a very pale ecru pair, nearly the color of my gown. Well, I powdered them, and they locked like new, and I was so charmed with my gown that I never gave a thought to the powder at all. After my first waltz, I saw my partner look ruefully at his coat. It was white witn the powder from my cloves. 1 could not explain, so I supposed he thought n came irera my face. I did not dance again, and we left early. I cried, and told ma about it, and she said: 'It served you right. Your toilet 6hould be complete in every detail, no matter how simple it may be, and you have plenty to expend on it.' I threw the gloves in the fire when I got home, and had the ploasuia of Besinn th9 kid squirm as if it suffered. 1 hoD3 it did. I am sure." Boston Ilcrald. My recollection of Mr. Jefferson, says an old gentleman of Virginia, 13 vivid, as I fcnew him well, and often visited at Montictllo. Ho was tho handsomest man I ever saw, as straight cs an arrow, very digniilad and ccurtccua in his manners to all. A supeib rider, he exercised himself on horseback till the last jtar of his life. The Univcrtity of Virginia w&3 his pet scheme, and he ws3 very proud of it &a being hi3 own achievement. At its first session 1 entered as a student, and Mr. Jerson was always pleased to have ua students at his tablo. Upon thcEO occasions we were generally Eeated around tho table, when Mr. Jeferäon would enter and walk Etraight to an adjoining side table specially prepared for Him, and upon which were placed two lighted candles tnd a small vial by his plate. He would then say: "My daughter, I perceive there are several young gentlemen at tho table, but I co cot sea well cnoush to distinguish who they are, eo you must tell mo their names." "Whereupon his daughter would lead him up to each young g-.ntleman, who would in his turn rise, 7hen Mr. Jefferson would shako hands and pass a pleasant word with him. At the clo9 of the repast, ps his own hand w3 too trembling, his daughter would pour from the little vial into a tumbler a few drop i of medicine to prodace slumber in case he should be wakeful, and then he would Uk9 up the tumbler and a candle, make a Etately bow to the assemblage, and retire to his bed room. He always had company at his house, and observed the Freren hours for meals. Your health depends on Ihe purity of your blood.

Sprinp field, Ohio, is happy over a revival in which the converts are roundly numbered at cne thousand. This revival pervadea all denominations, and extends to netuly every church. The Republic is EGvere on Mr. "Moody and ether preachers who find two or three months in tho year too hoi for roligious work, saying it is not on record that !St&n ever stoppe t bocauäathe mercury was above eighty dfgrees." The Chicago Inter-Ocean thinks a point it made in favor of Cincinnati'3 rasthetic progress in the bor.st that the scenery of the last dramatic festival ia now stored in a disused pork house, "To what base uses are we come last 1" Tho Teports recently circulated regarding Sitting Bull's conversion to the lioaaaa Cathode laith are now squarely contradicted. Bull declares that he never authorized them, ard t ays that ho eannot bear the Mea cf leaving the faith of his fathers. Bishop Burnett preached before Charles II. cn one occasion and at a certain point ho brought his fist down on the pulpit cushion with great emphasis, saying, "Who daro deny this statement?" The K.ing quietly rejoined, ".Nobody, Bishop, who is within reach of such a blow as that." F.ev. Dr. Campbell Fair is urging Episcopalians in tho dicceee of Maryland to adopt a plan whereby ministerial support shall be at least $1,000 per tnum. For instance, If the annual stipend of any perish or mission station shall be 700 the missions committea will pay to the rector the sum of $300 par annum, making an equal value per year ef $l,0CO. One cf tho most eminent religious weeklies bearing the date May 31, publishes an account cf how an old lady, aged 90, ''went on the ice lat week and coaeteii down a steep hill feveral times on a double runner." Sucn ircidents are refreshing in theso hot times. If that religious weekly will, in the next Usue, tell where the old lady found sufficient ice for her sport "last week,'' or where coaU irg may safely be done daring the next few weeks, the result will be a very spare attendar ce at the Sunday schools of any such frigid locality. It has at last been definitely settled by a unsmmou3 vote that the Bpti?ts aro to have a Bible all to themtelves. For a lone time they have felt sore over the word "baptise," which in cur version has boon translated "baptize" instead of "immerse," and now they propose to print and distribute a Bible f their own in which there shall be no mUtako about the quantity of water necessary to membership in the true Church. To same of us worldly men this does not seem tobe a poiiit of great importance; still, if it will make any one happier to find out the exact difference between the northeastern and the northwestern Bide of a hair, why of course let him spend his time in that way. A good many of our citizens who have been interested in railroad matters of late have a certain degree of perhaps unreasoning prejudice againsta large amount of water when used in connection with stock, -and have become convinced that the more water the leäs worth there is, but perhaps it works the other way La religion. The goneral theory of our good Baptist friends we entirely agree with, viz.: That a large quantity of water is necessary to make this gf aeration clean. "We have but one word cf advice, and that is not to let any efforts to convert the world cease or to be in any way interfered with while the discussion of theso matters is going on.

MILLIONAIRE BOCIDZ3.
Groesbeck, Balaton, Yanderbilt. 1 Bestell and T-aOln. INew York World.1 That the possession 0 f wealth, even of millions npon millionX does not always suffice to make' life happy, or even tolerable, was never more conspicuously shown than in the recent suicide of the Cleveland mil lionaire, Amasa Stone. His act of self-de-str action is by no means the only one of its kind recorded in modern American annals, though it should be said that very rarely has a rich man committed felo de se upon whom there had not been exerted the severe compulsion of complete ruin or supreme disgrace .Notes upon some of the most noteworthy modern cases of suicide by wealthy persons may not be without their interest for the readers of the "World. GROESBECK. Colonel John Groo3beck was a brother of "William S. Groesbeck, the well-known Ohio politician, and upon his father'B death had inherited & large estate. He served with distinction in tho war, married happily, and with no health seemed to have all that a man's heart could desire. He was a lawyer by profession, but had tamed speculator and was supposed to be doing well in "Wall street, when in a flurry in telegraph stocks in 1877 his fortune disappeared- disappeared so completely that ho found himself in absolute want. On the 12th of April, 1878, Colonel Groesbeck left the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where he boarded, tellinsr the head waiter that he was eoirg "West. He visited "Wall street, where he played a frindly game of cards with a brcker's clerk, seemingly in excellent spirits; in the everisg he was seen up town; a few days later cne of the waiters saw him at Fort "Wadeworth, S. I., and noticed that he secned to bo in trouble. Afterward nothing more was heard or him until the 26th cf May, when his body was found floating in the North Tviver." A loaded pistol an! bowie knife were in the pockets, but there was no wound or mark cf violence on the corpse, in cue pocket was an empty en velope, tho writing on which had been almoit washed out by the brine. Nothing else. RALSTOX. On the 26th of August, 1S75, the great Bank of California suspended business. For eighteen months "William C. Kate ton, long its cashier, had been its President. On the following day he went out to a sea-bathing eftablishment on the North Beach. A boy near by saw the fallen financier, alter donnirg his bathing suit, Bit down upon the shore, tear up some'papers and cast the frag ments into the sea, drink off the contents cf a vial and plunge into the tumbling surf. After swimming out to a distance of some i-'OO yards Rilston disappeared behind a ves sel, boon alter nis body, witn scarce a f park of life flickering in it, was seen drift ing shorewards, pallid and inert, and though it was soon brought to land and help was summoned, aid was to late, in the bathing house were found Kalston's statement to the bank and a few dollars in currency. Kalston was one of tho most brilliant and successful of the Occidental millionaires, Great as was his ability, his ambition was stiil greater.

He had at Belmont a castle which it cost millions to build and maintain, and the tank allowed $100,000 a year toward enter taining the scores of guests who-m hundreds of blooded horses bore daily out frcm the city. His pride in tho financial institution with which he was so completely identified wss the strongest sentiment ho had ever known, and when, after a series of unsuccess ful speculations like that in Ophir, in which he lest $3,000,000 the fact had to be made public that his financial wisdom was but fol ly, and he destroyed himself. RESTELL. In February, 1878, Ann Lohman, whom New Yorkers know belter by the name of Mme. Bestell, was arrested in her fashion able manEion on the corner af Fifth Avenue and Fifty-second street; every stone of which, it might be said, was cemented with blocd. Her Etout figure, dark square features thick black hair slightly flecked with gray, and small, piercing black eyes had been known to the residents of the city for a gen eration. Early on the first of April, as Mrs. Lohman's chambermaid was descending to the basement, Ehe knocked at the door of her mistress's bed-room, and receiving no answer locked in to find the bed empty; but, as its occupant's night-gown was lying on the floor she concluded Mrs. Lohman was in her bath, and so went down Etairs. Returning after a little while she wa3 struck by the stillness o'f the apartment, and glancing into the bath-room was horrified to see the un clothed bedy of Mme. Bestell in the bath, which was filled, it seemed, with blood. "With a carving knife, which lay by the sida of the bath-tub, the desperate woman who had been acting strangely for some days, meamng.lamentmg that she woull be cause leeely persecuted, and insisted that her ene mies were resolved upon convicting her had severed the carotid artery. The parting ol the eoul had left no trace of agony upon the fe&tures, which were peaceful and composed. She left an estate of $750,000 to her grandchildren, Charles K. Purdy and Mrs. Carrie Shsnnon. Two years afterward a report, such as was circulated at the time of Dr. Webster's execution, was sot about namely, that a corpse had been substituted for the woman's body, and that sho was living abroad in luxurious safety, but it was disproved. LAV LIN. On the 2 ith of September, 1878, Addison H. Laflin, ex-Congressman and Naval officer of the port of New York, having obtained possession of a rope, despite the close watch kept over him by his family, stole noiselessly upstairs to tho garret of his house at Pittafield, Mass., and hanged himself to a rafter, where his still warm body was found by his horrified wife only a few moments after his absence had been noticed. He was in his 54th year, rich and happy in hi3 family relations, but he had for a year been posEessed of the hallucination that he was to be overtaken by want, and had passed into a state of brooding melancholy. He had been appointed to the post o Naval Officer in 1871, when Mr. Conkling's friends secured their crushing victory over the Fentonites, but only had it a few months, making way fcr Alonzo B. Cornell. He was not the only New York Customs efficial who had died by his own hands. In the exciting days of Johnson's Administrations the President appointed Preston King, a veteran Free Soil Democrat,whom the late E. D. Morgan had just beaten for the Sanatcrship, to the Coliectorship, in the place of Simon Draper, who had been largely instrumental in King's defeat. This was on the 1st of September, 1805 The excitement of Ue Administration and the dilaculty of dividing the patronage so aa to satisfy all the contending factions proved too much for King's brain, and ho went mad, filled his pccketi with shot and threw himself from a Noith River ferryboat. His body was recoitrcdsix months afterward, on the day
that his Eucceesor, Henry A. Smvthe, was swern in. YAVDZltBI LT. The circumstances of the self destruction of Cornelius Jeremiah Vandervilt are too fresh in the memory of New Yorkers to need extended recapitulation. He had for some twenty years been subject to epileptic fits, and when, in the winter of 1SS1-2, he went South, his physical and mental health had
been seriously shaken. Ua tne ifc.n or March he returned to New York feeling better, and took up his residence at the Glenham. When celebrating hia 51st birthday at Pinwd'8 he was in good spirits, though romplaining of poor health. He took to his bed cn Saturday, Apru 1, and remained there on the morrow, showing some irritation and wandering. About 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon his companion, Mr. Terry, heard the sharp ring of a pistol from Mr. Vanderbilt's room, and rushing in found a smoking weapon still clasped in its occupant's hand, and a stream of blood ooz ing from his head. "My God, what does this mean?' was his frenzied question; but there was no answer. The wounded man, who never spoke, died after lingering three hcurs. SATjLEER. Of modern suicides of rich men in the mother country, th&t which made by far the widest and most profound sensation was the suicide of Jchn Sadleer, February IG, 18!G. He was a n.an cf m&rked ability, audacity and uiiscrupulousness, tho leader in Parliament ofthat "Pope's Brass Band," or "Irish Brigade. ' which rose to notice by its un measured denunciations of the ecclesiastical titles bill, and was declared by Justin Mc Carthy to be the "most worthless band of aritators who ever pretended to speak with the voice of Ireland." On the date already nenticned Jchn Sadleer's body was found cn Hampstead Heath, cold and stiff. Ue had slain himself with a doee of essential oil cf almonds, leaving a letter in which it was declared: "No one has been privy to my crimes they spring from my own cursed brain alcne." The amount of his defalcations no one ever knew. The deficit of the Tipperary Bank, cf which his trotiier James (who was expelled from Parliament) was manager, was more than $750,000, while a single transaction in a Swedish railroad stock amounted to S75O.C0O. Hundreds and thousands cf depositors throughout the South of Ireland were ruined, and all the shareholders of the bank. It was long believed that Sadleer had palmed off upon the public the body oi a man resembling him closely, and made his escepe with his plunder to America or the Continent, but the story was without founda tion in fact. McCItllan en Southern Generals. .Interview in the Fort (Texas) Gazette, 'Who was the greatest Southern general?'' "There were two of them L9e and Johnston." Which Johnston?" "Joe." You have heard of Jefferson Davis's estimate cf Albert Sidney Johnston. Do you agree with him? ' "Sidney Johnston died tco soon. I had no opportunity to become acquainted with his merits aa a commander. Officers of ability and judgment, however, informed me that General Johnston was ar officer of commanding ability. He enjoyed tho friendship and confidence of Jefferson Davis, and that enabled hi ji to display his abilities at their best. '"Which was the greatest soldier. Joe Johnston or Robert E. Lea?" 'It would be difficult to tell. Both had genius commensurate with their opportunities, and both de serve to be ranked among the greatest generals cf the age." ""Was either greater than the other?" ''It would be hard to tell. They were doubtless poEEeEScd of different qualities. Lee was quick to plan, and Johnston matchless in perforn ance. Lee was 6uperb in the defensive, and Johnston was without a peer in the offensive. Lee had grand fighting qualities, and Jonnston could equal Napoleon in planning a campaign." What about the other Southern Gener als?'' "I think Beauragard should rank next to Lee and Johnston. He made an ex cellent officer, and perhaps had no equal aa an engineer m tne army." "Where is LongEtreet's place?" "He made an excellent fighter, and distinguished himself generally as an officer, but Joe Johnston and Kobert E. Lee were the soldiers of the Confeder acy." "Of the Union Generals?" ""i'oa must get some one else to discuss them with you." He Blew the Kugle. A small party of young men were stand in g on a street corner the other evening. lhey were curiously examining a bugle be longing to one of them, and as a stranger came along an animated discussion arose. "I wiEh I could play on it," said one. 'Play on it!" exclaimed another. ! wish 1 could make a none on it. ' 'It's a pretty hard thing to do," observed a third, "if you haven't got the hang of the thine met right. "Hard thing to do I" chimed in tha strsnger, halting and regarding the party with evident contempt, why I could blow a bugle before I was a foot high. "Vrell, some bugles are dilferent from oth ers, said oro of the young men. 'Gimme that bugle," said the stranger ex citedly. It was immediately handed him, and putting it to his lips he made one trial trip. There was a subdued splutter, and the stranger commenced a kind of war dance, at the same time holding his mouth in both hands. "Great Cleopatra's needle!" he yelled, with tears streaming from his eye. "Who in thunder filled that mouthpiece with cayenne pepper? I'm small, gentlemen, light and fragile, but I can lick the man who peppered the horn." Tightness of the chest is a forerunner of disease. Samariton Nervine is the antidote. $1.50. "Every epileptic Buflerer ought to try Samaritan Nervine at once," says Rev. J. T. Etter, of New Glarus, Wis. "It's a neverfailing remedy." Hop Bitters are the Pnre-st and Best Bitters Ever Made.
