To give any thing like an adequate account of this remarkable girl would require a treatise. This I can not attempt. 3tis Xary J. Faneher was born in Attlebourgh, Mat., Aug.. 16, 188, and was educated at the Brooklyn Heights Seminary under my care. She was a sweet girl of delicate organization and nervous temperament, an d wa highly esteemed for her pleasing manners and genile disposition.

The delioate tone be of the modeling-kaUe were thee, all applied to this outer coating, and when the model was completed it retained its shape, to the 8 nest line aad farrow, without the coaetant care that a oky model requires. Mies Hosmer regards this method ol modeling as far roperior to the old. It gives maoh lees trouble aad eaa be worked with far greater ease, besides giving the ftet of marble instead of the dull, gloomy elect of clay. What do you think I've been doing?" Mhw Hosmer suddenly aeksd. " I've turned iaveator. I've invented a contrivance to enable a player to turn the leaves of music, either on a piano or oa a conductor's stand, and it works beaatifully. But that is a mere toy. I happened oa the idea, and worked it at. What I am going to show you now will astonish you. Tourney think I'm eraay most every one does at first but yec will change your mind when yon see my discovery applied." Mies Hosmer then went on to show and describe a discovery she had made. I am not allowed to repeat all that was told to me. The essential secret of the discovery I am obliged to withhold until Mies Hosmer authorises a fuller revelation. I eaa only give a general idea of its application with the testimony of such savants as have seen it. They are unanimous in declaring it not only to be a wonderful novelty but apparently a thoroughly useful and practical power producer. The machine now in process of eonsiruetkm foi Miss Hosmer by Browning, on the Strand, is not dissimilar in its general design tea eleotro-magnetie eeguMk The important feature consists la aa aheotaely novel application of the permanent magnet. There is no eleetrie baitery, aad consequently no in daced megnetie aetion. The magnets are permanent magnets. They are arranged so that the whole power is derived from them, but there Is no battery Mr any ether deviee for creating or

monness. I laoing a column of genu-1
ine green or cobalt marble along side of these imitations, ao eye could tell which was the imitation. " I presume the stone thus made will be available only under cover?" was asked, " or will it stand the wear and tear of out-door exposure?" " Wherever marble can be used this can be used, for it is marble. Of course it is not suited for statuary the grain is not close enough ; but for all building purposes it is just as good as marble, aad far cheaper." " What have you done about this invention, Mies Hosmer?" " I shall do nothing with it until my other invention is cfT my hands. I reSird that as of the first importance, and is is only an accidental piece of good fortune. The discovery with regard to the magnet was the result of long search, and, though I finally succeeded, as much by hit' as by wit, still it was only fair that I should. At the end of 15 years' experiments, I suddenly hit upon something greater than I had hoied for; I feel that it is far more important than the marble, and so I devote myself to it. I have patented the marble-making process in the United States, and I have had an offer to buy the right of manufacture there from a very large manufacturing establishment in Central New York."

One day this fall, a man was riding along in Guthrie County, Iowa. The road was long aad the country through which he passed was sparsely settled. He rode six miles without seeing a house, aad then, in the midst of the wild, unbroken prairie, he saw, nailed to a pott in the ground, a sign-board with the following inscription: "Iceoream. Balls and parties supplied. The traveler skivered aad hurried on to get to the next house before dark.

Her museles are so relaxed that her limbs ean be moved without the aid of chloroform. While passing into this state her sufferings were Intense. For days It did not seem possible that she could live. Her eyes were open and staring. For nine years they bad been closed. Now they were open and never dosing day nor night. They were sightless. She could swallow, but take no food; even the odor of it was offensive. During this twelve years' illness there have been times when she had not the use of any ef her senees. For many days together she has been to all appearance dead. The slightest pulte could not be detected there was no evidence of respiration.

na m nn Tub Canadian surveyors arc preparing Cockburn Island, in Lake Huron, for settlement. A good many squatters have already gone in, and the sound of the ax is heard on every side. The land is ceded by the Indians, and will e sold at W) cents per acre. The payment for 100 aoree will be $20 down and the balance in five years, bearing interest at 6 per cent., and the proceeds will go to the Indian funds. The land Is reported to be of first-class quality, and the island is one of the most convenient pints for settlement in the district of Algoma, There's only one thing stronger than a woman's will, and that's a woman's "won't.'1
The Henpecked Husband. There are signs by which ho is known, however, no matter in what society he mingles. He has the mien of one who is weary of the world, and yet, for some unaccountable reason, is not quite read to leave it. There is a peculiarly careworn expression of countenance by which he may bo distinguished something quite different from the look of conscious responsibility which roost married men wear. AroHnd his lips the resignation of Prometheus lingers ; premature crows' feet gather annually around his eyes; his cheeks lack the rotundity that happier wedlock confers; from hie shiny scalp the hair has vanished. He ventures his opinions in- a hesitating style, as though he hoped they would suit, and would not be the means of precipitating a broil. He seems always on the point of apologizing for something he may have said, and when ho smiles he does it in such a painful and inexperienced way that a spectator is almost moved to pity. At regular intervals he glances nervously at the door of the apartment in which he is seated, as though he dreaded the sudden and wrathful entrance of the imperial spouse, to wreak upon him condign vengeance for some unpremeditated offense. Her clarion voice ever rings la his ears like a knell of departed peaee. He ean never get far enough away to entirely escape that ominous sound. She has a tongue that can put a girdle of fire around him in less than 40 minutes, and he never feels sufllciently remote from ks terrors. AU his peculiarities are those of an extremely careful man, At times he has a scared look. Reticent, gloomy, disconsolate, patient, he wiggles and sneaks his way through lifelike one who has committed some hideous and unpardonable crime. He knows that he is pusillanimous that a cockroach has more courage and self-esteem than he will ever boast. In faot, he suiters immeasurably more from what he thinks of himself than ho do from all tiie other miseries he is called upon to endure.
