Victor's Vriesüre All Alout SL Valentine's Dlj. Etuart, the Portrait raloter Why She Was Vain Dosed Evasive Knotty Problems. Victor's Valentine. I'm going to write a Valentine, I'm sure I don't know why, But all the soys are doing it, And so I guess i ll try; They tell a girl they thiiik her cheeks Are like the roses red: "Your eyes Te like the violet," That's if hat eae fellow sail. Bt't then, who shall I send mine to? There's lots ol girl I knovr, Bit not a solitary one I'd want to write to so: Ah, now I've thoupht of somebody. And not a valeuiine 'W ill go to one who's half es nice As the who will get mice. (Victor writes steadily for some moments, then jeade aloud.) Your hair is as brown as a chestnut, You eyes are the sky's own bine, 11 bet, in the world, there is no one Who's halt as pretty as you. And though, dear. I don't always show it, I love you with all coy heart; 1 1' ink it would just about kill me, If you and I tad to part. Perhaps when I grow up to manhood, i ll bare to wander aiar. But I'll never forget ray first srecthart, My pretty, bright, jolly mamma. The Youth's Companion. Saint Valentine's Day. EL Valentine can not be held responsible for the gilt cupids, trne-lovers'-knots and hearts pierced with arrows that pass between voting people on the 14th of February. He was merely a grave and earnest bishop, who, as a reward for his efforts in converting the heathen, was put to death by them at Kome on the 14th of February, somewhere about the year 270. How the popular way of commemorating this day arose is a matter of guess-work only, but the practice of regarding it as the lovers' anniversary is quite ancient. Tv, la this country, derive the practice of ''sending valentines" from our t'nglish ancestors. Bat in England the ways of celebrating the day are many, although some of the ancient cuotoms are no longer observed. In olden tiaes it was customary to deck the houses with evergreens in honor cf it. Pen Johnson writes: . "Get some fresh hay, then, to lay nnder foot, Some holly and ivv to make Cne the posts; Is't not Samt Valentine's day .'" In Kent the girls still burn a holly boy on that day, while the boys return the compliment by sacrillcing anivy girl. The distinguishing feature of the day, however, has always been the choice of a lady or a cavalier for the following year. A faithful valentine was forced to escort his lady to all .merry-makings, and to carry out any commands she might give him; but making her a gift released him from his obligations. One method of choice consisted in writing the names of men and maidens upon slips ol paper, so that they might draw lots, exactly in the fashion of the old Koman festival. Each person, of course, had two valentines, although the man regarded the one drawn by him as his true choice. This custom was ajwajs accompanied by gifts. It was also a decree of the day that the lirtt individnal of the opposite sex seen by an unmarried person on St. Valentine's morning should be his or her valentine. In that delightful record of English do mestic life in the reign of Charles II., Pepy's Diary, it is stated that married and sickle were alike liable to be chosen. The entrv or February It, 1057, runs thus: "This morning came up to my wife's bedtide little Will Mercer, to be her valentine, and brought her name written upon blue paper in gold letters, done by himself, very pretty ; and we were both well pleased with it. Hut I am al30 this year my wife's valentine, and It will cost me 5, but that I must have laid out if we had not been valentines." From which it may be inferred that the gentleman was of a frugal turn of mind. Certain customs devoted now to All Hallow E'en were once In use on St. Valentine's Ftve. A young lady Vntes, in the middle of the last c otury, "Last Friday was Valentine's day, and the night before I got five bay leaves, and pinned four of them to the four cornjs of my pillow and the fifth to the middle, and then if I di caret of my sweetheart, Iietty said we abould be married before the year was out. "Lut to r.ake it more sure, I boiled an egg hard, and took out the yolk, and filled it ith ht.it, and whea I went to bed ate iL then and all. V. e also wrote our lovers names upon bits of paper, and rolled them tlp in clay and put them into water, and the rirrt that rose up wai to be our valentine. "Would you think it? Mr. Blossom was my man." Froia the following extract, also, it may te perceived that in such important matters it is sometimes necessary to assist fate, so far as one is able : "Hay abed and shut my eyes all the morning, till he came to our house, for I would not have seen another man before him for all the world." Truly, human nature was much the same a century ago as it is to Gay, and St Valentine's devotees were then even more excited by his tokens than the girls and boys who are remembered by the postman in this present year. Stuart, the Portrnlt-l'aloter. An English Embassador, on leaving England for America, called on Benjamin West and asked him to recommend a portraitpainter in the United States. "You will find there," answered West,'the ; best portrait-painter in the world, Gilbert Stuart." Smart had long been a fashionable artist in London, when he determined to return to his native land that he might paint the portrait of the one man he admired, George Washington. In England he had hobnobbed with Princes and Iukes, but when he entered the room where Washington was waiting to give him a sitting, he was embarrassed. "It was the first and only time," said he, Mithat I ever felt awe in the presence of fellow-man." "In what part of En Tland were you bora?" t aked an Englishman ön meeting Stuart in - London. "I was not born in Ecgland, Scotland, Wales or Ireland," answered the artist; "I was born at Narragansett," "Where's that?'7 "Six miles from Tottawoone, and ten miles from Fappasejuast, anil about four mils west of Canonicut, and not far from the spot where the famous battle with the warlike Fequota was fought" "Jn what part of the East Indies is that?" ' ''East Indies, my dear sir! it is in tüe Btate of Iihode Island." A few years before fctuart's death, he was visited at bis residence in Boston by two artists from Philadelphia. Seeing Mr. Stuart taking snuff, one of the visitors asked him for a pinch. "I will give it to you." said Stnart, "but I tiilBi you not to take it. Snuff-taking la a viie, dirty, pernicious habit, and, like all tad habit, to be carefully avoided." "Your practice contradicts your precept, III. Stuart," replied the gentleman. ":ir, I can't help it," retorted Mr. Stuart. 'I will tell you a story. I happened to be travelin? in an English stage-coacb, one dark night. It was a large vehicle, with a railing around the top to secure the outside paraeugers, and a basket behind for baggage, and such travelers as could not lind room inside or on the top. ! Coache overturned ns all in a ditch. rWe scrambled up, and found that inside and cutMde passengers were all right But a poor fellow was fonnd in the basket, apparently senseless, with his neck twisted awry. "fTe of the passengers, having heard that a Ijnken neck might be remedied, if promptly fteade4 to, Kiv4 the senseless man, -

clutched his head, and began twisting and pulling it.

" 'Let me alone!' roared the senseless man at the first wrench. 'I am not hurt I was born so!' "Gentleman, I was born so," continue! Stuart, taking anenormous pinch of snuff, "I was born in a snufl-milL." The justification of the assertion rested on the fact that Stuart's father erected the first snuff-mill in New England, near the place where his son was born. Why She Was Vain. A little gill, whose exceedingly plain face does not prevent her from having a great many friends, is accustomed to wearing very plain dresses indeed. One day a companion at school, who dresses rather fancifully, asked her: "Mary don't jou thirjk my dress is very pretty?" "Ob, yes, Jennie: it is lovely!" "Why don't you ever wear a pretty dress like this, Mary?" "I suppose it is because I'm vain." "Why, how can that be?" "Oh, you know, a real pretty dress woulda't go with me at all." Dosed. A backwoods "yarb" doctor pasted the following lengthy Direckshnns for yuse" on a twoquart bottle containing some vile, strong-smelling, greenish-yellow mixture, sent to a patient ill with a fever: Give a Tabelspune full evry hour until Beter. If not beter, a label spune fall evry half hour. If still not beter, a good sized swaller evry ten minits tin till all Gone, after wich come back to me for a quart of another kind. If Fever brakes out, take a cr.p fall at oncet. "Thank goodness, I don't have to take the bottle and ell!" gasped the patient. .Evasive. Whether these answers to a lawyer's questions really occurred or not, they serve to illustrate the possibility of our language for keing fatally distorted: "Do you know the witness well?"' "I never knew him sick." "No levity (sternly)! Did you err: see the prisoner at the bar?" "No; neither of us drinks." "How lorjg have you known hini?"' "From two feet to five feet ten inches." "Now, sir, will you tell me what you know about this case?" "His came hain't Case; it's Smith." "Have jou and this prisoner been friends?" "No, we hain't Friend?, nor Quakers of any sort. We're Presbyterians." "Stand down (sternly)!" "I can't. I'll sit down, or stand up; that's all I kin do.'? Whose?" A witiy retort sometimes answers quite as well as a long argument There are some thin not easy to explain, and no better answer could have been made to the Englishman criticising our social customs than that mat'e by Mr. Lincoln: "You see, sir, there is a tremendous difference between the English customs and the American. For example, no gentleman in England," remarked the Londoner, "would ever think of blacking his own boots, don't you knew." ' Wouldn't he?" inquired Mr. Lincoln, thoughtfully. " Why, whose would he black?"

ANTIDOTE FOR CANCER.

A Remedy Within the Keach of All. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette About thirty years ago a woman belonging to the middle walks of life, suffering with cancer, was pronounced beyend their skill by the physicians of Shrewsbury Infirmary, England, the tumor being in such cloe proximity to the jngular vein that, rather than risk the imperiling of her life, they deemed it best not to undertake so grave an operation. Straightway after this announcement was made she returned to her home, which was three miles from Oswestey, the nearest railway station in the County of Montgomery, North Wales. Here she became a greater sufferer, when one day she bethought herself of a neighbor, whom she soon found, and, with all the eloquence of one enthralled by an implacable foe, she appealed to her sympathy. "If it were possible," she implored, "do, do something to assuage my pain." With that tenderness and willingness characteristic of every true and noble woman to allay her sister's many pains this friend, for she proved a friend in need and deed, forthwith sent her boys (one of whom is our informant) to gather what in the United States Is known as sheep sorrel; by the people of England as "sour leaf or the cuckoo plant;" In the Welsh language, to the people of North Wales, as "flail surion y goer." To this timely opportunity, and the efficacy of this herb as an antidote for cancer, this, our sufferer, is in a large measure indebted for her health and life to-day, while not the slightest vestige of this hitherto unconquerable disease is to be found. The leaves were wrapped io brown paper bo tight as to make the package impervious to air. This package was then placed beneath an open grate, covered with the hot ashes of the same. When sufficiently cooked it was removed, and in as hot a state as possible and cot burn it was now applied, the leaves being In direct contact with the ulcer, which was ßrmly held to the part affected by a linen hacdkerchleL Strange to say, at the expiration of one month the tumor came sway and ha3 not since appeared. For the first four days the pain was most excruci ating, but gradually decreased as it became loosened. There is much to be said in favor of this method over that of the knife. The nature of its drawing power in the form of poultice, though at first very severe, still is gradual and sure, while new blood rushes into tbe vacum, caused by removal, thus serving as a fitting helpmeet for aiding pnd stimulating natures etioru, and in the meantime the arteries which feed this fell destroyer are given a greater impulse to move rapidly, How healthy and strengthening the weaker parts as fast as it egresses. In this connection it is to be observed that this method has none of the accompanying afterweakenirrg effects as caused by loss of blood so frequently exhibited under the operation of tbe knife, while the chances of a thorough extirpation are far more sanguine as to a thread remaining than that of a surgical operation, which many fear and object to. For thoe parts not admitting of poultice we submit another formula for the same herb, as applied by this same benefactress in somewhat diflerent case3. A piece of flat iron or steel is obtained with at least one bright and smooth face. On thi3 the leaves are pkced, which in turn is placed on top of the stove or within the oven urtil the leaves are thoroughly cooked, whence they are removed and spread on a piece of linen in the tame way as any other home-made plaster. When fool enough, with suüicient heat not to burn, it is then applied, acd, our informant states, was productive of the same beneficial result BlUhful Hopes of Heirship. New York World. ' Jim'' Elythe is a sheep drover. He was born ai'd brought up in the city, went to the war in 101 with the Ninth New York militia, and in his early days ran to the tires with the boys ojf old Engine 15. At present he lives with his family over a saloon at the corner of Eleventh avenue and Fortieth street. A few days ago he received information which leads him to believe that he and his children are joint heirs with others to an estate worth $$,000,000. There died about four years ago in San Francisco an old man named Thomas H. Bljthe. He had lived there since 1S1), having come by way of Cape Horn from England on the ship Antelope. Instead of becoming a miner on his arrival he set up as a trader in groceries, dry goods and liquors, and he made money faster than the miners whe patronized him. He invested it in real estate which ha3 since become very valuable. Elythe was an eccentric old man, very shrewd and close in his business. No one knew aught of his antecedents, except that he was an Englishman. His only known extravagance was bis presentation of hundreds of dollars worth of Uowers yearly to actresses. He met his death by drowning while bathing, and a thorough search of his papers failed to discover any will. There were deeds, however, showing his ownership to large tracts of land. Including blocks of houses in the city of San Francisco, 7--,000 acres of valuable land in San Diego County, California, a nine-tenths interest in the lands ef the Mexican Agricultural, Industrial and Colonizing Company, situated in the valley of the Colorado Iliver in Lower California, comprising 100,000 acres; the P.ancho de los Algondones, containing 43,000 acres, in Lower California; a three-fourths Interest in another ranch of 1,000,000 acres in Lower California; ID) acres of land in Gurry County, Oregon, and a silver mine In Mojave County, Arizona Territory. A young woman of Ban Francisco attended old Mr. Elythe's funeral, dressed in deep mourning. She claimed that the old man had married her, and that she was entitled to the property. Another alleged widow came over from England, and about the same time a twelve-year-old girl app?ared before the Surrogate, alleging by counsel that her name was Florence Blythe, and that she was a daughter of the late Thomas. The claims of all three to the property were in turn denied. Heirs were advertised for, and over luO claimants were found residing in various psrts of the United States, Canada and England. "Jim" Blythe, tbe sheep drover, is one of these claimants. He says his grandfather was a minister of the Church of Erjgland, and his father, who came to this country in 1S31, was a hauler of stone. "An uncle of mine," he says, "had a son who was a very wild sort of a voung man. The young fellow fell in love wlih one of the servant girls and married her on the sly. When the old gentleman heard of it he disowned his son and sent him away from his house. Tbe young woman gave birth to a male child and after that all trace of the little family was lost Thomas was the name of the young man who married the servant girl, and I believe it was his son who came from England on the ship Antelope in 1319. If my lawyer can prove this I'll be a rich man." Music and Its l'ower. I Gentleman's Magazine. It has been stated that Idiots appear to most advantage when under the influence of music, and that there are very few cases which are unaffected thereby. Thus we are told how a new life is Infused into these unfortunate persons by the harmony of sweet sounds. "All exhibit pleasure; some move their bodies in time to the air which is played ; others sing after their own fashion ; some even of the most torpid when looking on for some time, as some of their less apathetic companions dance, suddenly become animated, start up, and dance In their own way. Mr. Flott. in his 'History of Staffordshire,' relates the case of an idiot who, chancing to live within tb oond of a clock, always amused himself with counting the hour of the day whenever the clock struck ; the clock being spoiled by accident, the idiot continued to strike and count tbe hour without the help of it in the same manner as he had done when it was entire." Indeed, in mental cases, music from the earliest period has been considered highly efficacious, and It is recorded how both Pythagoras and Xemocrates cured maniacs by melodious sounds. Coming down to modern times, much has been written cd the subject, and experiments of various kinds z&ade with poae or less soccero. Music

f a remedy for insanity, is alluded te by Shakspeare in "Richard II." (Act V., Scene

5), where the ' King" says: 1 1 "Tis music mads me ; let It sound no more ; f For, though it helps madmen to their wlt, I ln me it seems it wiU make wise men mad. And again referring to music as soothing the spirits and inducing sleep, we may quote the touching passage in Henry IV. (act lv., ecece 5), where the King says: Let there be no noise made, my gentle friends; I'nless some dull and favorable hard Will whisper music to my weary spinL Wor. Call lor music in the other room. A Mysterious Murder, A Warrensburg, Mo., dispatch to the St Louis Globe-Democrat says: Last night at 'J o'clock this city was the scene of one of the most diabolical murders in the history of the State. Mr. F. M. Prussing, the victim, was one of Warrensburg'e most substantial business men, having been engaged in the grocery trade here for quite a number of years. While very quiet and inoffensive and not taking part in public enterprises, yet he had built up a substantial business and has always been considered as being worth considerable money. Last evening at the close of business hoars he left his store and proceeded to walk to his residence, which is in the northeastern portion of the city. This locality is not very thickly settled, and the residences, all having large yards, are necessarily a considerable distance apart When about to pass an alley within less than a stone's throw of his home, he was struck heavily on the head with what was afterward discovered to be a rough hickory club, about three feet in Ungth. Ilia pockets were then rüied of their contents. Shortly after the deed had been committed a man living in this neighborhood was going home from church, and came upon the prostrate form of what he supposed to be a drunken man, but by a closer examination he discovered it to be his neighbor, Mr. Prussing. He immediately notified the family of the dying man, and the body was conveyed to his residence. Physicians were hastily summoned, but on examination being made it was discovered that recovery would be lmpossiblej as the skull and brain were crushed in by the blow. The victim of the horrible outrage never regained consciousness, and expired at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Prussing was yetterday paid $10,000, the amount of a mortgage he held on some city property, pud it is supposed that the murderers were aware or this fact and supposed that he would carry the money home with him, as he received it after banking hours, but instead of this he secured the money in his safe at the store, and it is not known what amount he had on his person at the time of tne assault but it could not nave been a very great amount Two negro men and a white youth were arrested to day on suspicion of being implicated in the crime, but as they gave satisfactory accounts of themselves they were released. Tne entire affair is wrapped in mystery, and the officers are as helpless as any one in the matter. Short In His Accounts. Eostos, Feh. 9. It has been learned that John C. L?ighton, for nineteen years derk of the Municipal Criminal Court in this city, is short in his accounts to a large amount The exact tum of the defalcation will not be known until the expert now engaged on the books completes his labors. It is stated, however, by City Auditor DoJge that the total will be perhaps $200 0 00 or more. Leighton was appointed in 1807 and held the otlice up to within a short time ago. In the court in which be served thousands of criminal cases are tried annually, and money received for lines and costs is all turned over to the clerk, who is supposed to deposit it with the City TreaBurerof Boston, who is also County Treasurer. It is said that the present Auditor's predecessors have not audited accounts of this court for year?, as implied coc fidence seems to have been placed in Clerk Leighton. What he did with all the money he has taken is a mystery to his friends. His habits of life were not extravagant, and he bad no family. His salary was $3 CM. His property is assessed for $15,000, but it is said to be worth a great deal more than is represented on the Assessor's books. "Miss Cleveland" at the Capitol. A queer incident occurred in the House gallery the other day. A new door-keeper was In the private gallery, when a lady came up to him and started to go in. The doorkeeper remarked that she could not enter, a3 this was the private gallery, whereupon the lady drew herself up and remarked: "You don t seem to know me. I am Miss Cleveland." The new door-keeper was astonished and begged pardon, lie not only opened tbe door, tut went inside and .down to the front seat and made the people there get out, because "the President's sister" wanted to get a seat. The lady swept dawn to the front row and took her place. Soon it became noised about that Miss Hose Elizabeth Cleveland was in the gallery. The woman craned their necks to see her, and o did everyone else. Finally the docAeeper of the diplomatic gallery came around to see what tbe excitement meant. He asked the new doorkeeper of the private gallery what was going on. "Why, Miss Cleveland, the President's sister, is inside," he remarked. The diplomat went in, and in a few minutes came out with great disgust and remarked that the woman was no more iliss Eose Elizabeth Cleveland than he was. The other doorkeeper told the new doorkeeper the same thing, and he laughed heartily et Iiis being imposed upon. The woman was a Miss Cleveland, but no relation to the President, nor did she tell the doorkeeper she was. Ungrateful. An Irishman who had been arrested several times for drunkenness and stealing, asked an attorney to defend him in a trial for theft "Well, sor, they've nabbed me agin, an' I want to git you for me deflnse." Defend you?" sternly. "Yis, sor, sure I nade delinse." "But, you humbug, you are constantly in trouble, you ought not to expect any honest man to defend you." J'Sor, you are under obligeshins tome. "Obligations! Are you guilty ?" "Yis, sor, I am, and I've come to you to defind me, the greatest thafe in Goose County. If you clare me it will be a fither iu yer cap!

Oatlook for Strolling Player. Chicago Journal. I met to-day one of the kind cf theatrical managers whose special province is to lead strolling players Into the country towns and asked him to tell me something of this clasi of performers and how the present season has been with them as a class financially. He said: "My company, like most of the traveling combinations, is just now dissolving. You see, we start out In the fall, run thiDgs quietly until the holidays, when we expect and generally receive a month or more of good payiDg business. Then stale and unprofitable seem all the uses of this world, usually. The result is dissolution about the close of January. The present season has had no marked features, though a few companies have done very well. The next thing will be to reorganize in about two montha and proceed to the far Northwest railroad and mining towns for a summer season in their new theaters. In this way tbe strolling players make the two ends meet, "rough-hewed though they may be." On the question of reduced prices for seats to theatricals, this veteran said tbey must eventually drop back to the old-time rates which ended with the beginning of the war, viz: 25, 60 and 7-5 cents, according to location.
