Rather a high price for two inches," rented Madame, severely, as she looked /er her glasses with a frown. Three women are making more money lis season on the American stage than ly ten men. It is impossible to get at ie precise figures, as the pay of per•rmers is so exaggerated, but it is as•rtoil that Patti receives 94,000 a night, she is to sing thirty times during her ur through the States, she will thereto receive 9120,000.

Emily Mellville, the comio opera uger, is the wife of a San Francisco lerchant named Dudley. She bade him rewell a Jew weeks ago as she took her iparture f«r« professional tour in Ausalia.

The Colored Methodist Episcopal Church has more than 100,000 members. If Beecher's popularity is not declining his pew-rents are, and that is much the same with the Brooklyn fashionables.

Henry Ward Beecher says: "Very few of my pew holders come to church in the evening they get so full in the morning that they can't digest any more of my preaching in one day." It is very wrong of Mr. Beecher to give his parishioners away in this manner,

A prominent Methodist minister, who has been much vexed by the brethren who claim to live lives of sinless perfection, says that "there is nobody who can stir up so-many church rows, or keep them boiling so long, as the brother or sister who claims to have received the 'second blessing,' and to be living the •higher life." Many who have been annoyed by the Pharisaism of these brethern can cordially endorse this.

Up in Park county they have Baptists of hardy, old fashioned sort. Last Sunday Rev. W. T. Cuppy, a Baptist minister,baptized fourteen persons in Big Rac•coon Creek, near Holland's bridge, \yhild the thermometer was at or near zero. A hole was cut in the ice for the purpose. It is stated that the work was done in nine minutes. Considering the temperature of air and water, it is not surprising that it was done quickly. The immersed people were compelled to go nearly a mile in their wet clothing before a house could be reached.

The Roman Catholic priests in Italy appear to worry along on exceedingly meagre salaries. There are about 20,000 of them in all Italy. Of these, about 2,000 receive less than flOOa year, and some of them as low an amount as $80. Those who are in high ecclesiastical station are much better paid, yet even their salaries are, witu few exceptions, far less than would be considered the proper thing for clergyman in corresponding station in this country. But it must be remembered that a priest with no family is not called upon to make as heavy outlaws for domestic expenses as the Protestant clergyman who hasa wife and half adozen growing

The Rev. D. F. Leach writes from Yvtesvllle, V*., that the religious condition of the freedmen is not all that might be hoped. Although in many individual instances there Is a high degree spirituality, yet as a general thing the colored folks run to ignorant enthusiasm, tending somewhat in the direction of Fetichism aad Paganism.

One of the newest and queerest of religious fellowships is that which has recently been heard from in the northeastern corner of the state. Mrs. Beekrhan, the wife of a clergyman, figures as the new Messiah of this singular denomination. According to her belief and that of her 'disciples, she represents the Saviour, who has come in female form to fulfil the prophecies of the Old Testament Scriptures. Her

He who does not respect confidence will never find happiness in his path. The belief in virtue vanishes from his heart, the source of nobler actions becomes extinct in him.

ABOUT WOMEN.

There are said to be 2252 women engaged in conducting farms in Indiana. Au unexpected and delightful offer of marriage to a Michigan girl brought on a fatal attack of heart disease.

If a girl wants to be romantic, the proper way is to send up a toy balloon with a card attached, asking the finder to correspond with her. A Michigan girl tried it and got a letter from her brother in Indiana, who found the balloon and told her not to be a fool.

There is an old lady in (Rome, N. Y., who ought to have a monument. Perhaps there have been other women like her, but they never received public notice in print. This particular lady got a new bonnet one Saturday, and was found sitting alone in her chamber with it upon her head. Her daughter ex claimed, "Why mother, what are yo« doing here?'' "Go along down," the old lady replied: "I'm only getting used to this thing, so that I shall not be thinking about it all the time in church to-morrow."

The marble palace on Fifth avenue, New York, which was erected by the late A. T. Stewart, at a cost of 91,000,000, and which contains paintings and statuary valued at an equal sum, not to mention the elaborate furniture, the golden chandeliers, and other items that are worth fortunes, is but a mausoleum now.

But Mrs. Stewtui, a weak and withered old woman, lives there attended- by an army of servants. She never goes out but to visit the house of Judge Hilton, her husband's partner and executor, and Uvea in deadly fear lest some ruffians may steal her and hold her for ransom, aa they did her husband's bones.

ABOUT ETIKET.

Never listen to the oth er person, for if you do you may forget what you want to say yourself.

If a person makes mis takes in grammar, or calls a word wrong,corect him, especially if there are several people around to hear you.

Always talk of your private, personal and family matters while con versing with strangers

They like to listen to long accounts how you had the rheumatism. Always make fun of the locality where you arestaying. If you can't do that ridicule or abuse some of the leading citizens. A son or daughter may be present, and they will like to hear you ridicule their old father.

Insist on talking about subjects that the rest of the company have never heard anything about. If you can't find a foreign subject like Europe, or what you did in college, pick out the prettiest girl in the room and whisper to ner.

But the most sensible subject you can introduce in any crowd is that the best place in town for groceries and table supplies is at Rippetoe's White Frunt where*to-day can be found dressed turkeys, geese, chickens and rabbits, oysters in can or bulk, choice cranberries celery, cabbage, turnips, butter, eggs cider. Try our buckwheat flour and maple syrup. Maple sugar, Queen olives in bottle or keg, Malaga grapes, oranges, lemons, bananas. The BUCKeye nam and breakfast bacon, finest made. Go and try them.
