Pahmeyer, at Chattanooga. "Your paper la a source of comfort to our family and we could not do without it," says Dennis Sullivan, at Springfield, Ohio.

Articles that add to our comfort and happiness, to say nothing of beauty, are always welcomed. Such an one we have found In Lettuce Lotion, an exquisite new product from Baur's pharmacy, which Is so delightful in Its beneficial effect on the skin, made sonsitive by our wintry winds.

Other People,

Ex-Senator Hearst, of California, owns a ranch of 48,000 acres at San Simeon. Governor Lee, of Virginia, is said to be the champion checker-player of the South.

Jay Gould pays $1,800 a year for a pew in a church and double that for a box at the opera.

ANew York paper reports that Colonel Robert Ingersoll's hair, what he has, is white as snow.

Ben Perley Poore says the President on Christmas Day ate a mince pie made by Mrs. Folsom. "Mr and bride" was theunique signature upon a Buffalo hotel register the other day. They are said to be a newly-married couple.

Charles Temple and wife of Des Moines, got mad at each other fourteen years ago and haven't spoken since, although continuing to live together.

A Missouri congressman, who has just visited the metropolis for the first .time, writes home that "New York is the Kansas City of the the east, and no discount."

The Rev. Mr. Downs, of Boston, will get his salary from the church which expelled him. The Supreme Court has decided the case in his favor, and he gets $2,500.

The design of the menu card of the Maine drummers' dinner in Portland last Saturday evening was the picture of a traveling man approaching a young lady in a nearly empty railroad car and saying: "I beg your pardon, is,this seat engaged?"

The father of Vice President Hamlin called his four sons after the great warriors of ancient history—Alexander, Julius Csesar, Cincinnatus and Hannibal, while he named his four daughters after the continents, Europe, Asia, Australia and America.

A Utiea newspaper says that a mercantile firm of this city has a good-looking young colored man for a commercial traveler. He has visited Utica for two years, knows his business thoroughly, and has the respect and confidence of Utica merchants. He is the only colored drummer known in that city.

The engineer of a sash, door and blind factory in Cincinnati discovered that the water in the boiler was low, and he gave the fifty men about the shop two minutas in which to say their prayers. Fortynine.of thein took him at his word, while tho fiftieth opened the furnace doors, drew the fires and averted a calamity.

Mr. E. H. Fitler, who will probably be the next mayor of Philadelphia, has won much public favor by such small yet significant details as always having his sidewalks promptly cleared of snow, and ashes spread over the ice. People think that a man who is public-spirited in small things will serve them well in greater affairs.

Gov. Hill, of New York, has just pardoned a couple of men sent to prison for life for a murder which judge, jury, prosecutors and witnesses now agree that they could not have committed, and yet on the trial the judge said: "Prisoners, you have had a fair and impartial trial, and the fact of your guilt is as ^clear as the noonday sun."

Boys who have a longing to go to sea should read some of the thirty-four cases in San Francisco and New York where in captains and mates are charged with cruelty towards the men. In ten cases men and boys were beaten to death, and in thirteen others were made cripples. The average sea captain comes as near being a brute as anything molded in human form.

When William Conners, of Springfield, 111., was 14 years of age he stole a dozen eggs. George Swift, also a boy, detected him, and up to the other day has held the fact over him as a club and blackmailed him to the amount of 93,200. Conners finally concluded to stand exposure and pay no more, and Swift will have to go to work and earn his living.

Wm. Dingier, of Riverton, 111., was in bed and his wife handed him their baby preparatory to getting into bed herself. As she bore her weight upon the bed it gave way and all three went down together. When Dingier extricated himself with the baby he found that it was dead. There were ns marks on the child, and the explanation of its death is that when the bed broke the father involuntarily clasped his arms so tightly around the baby that the breath was squeezed out of its little body.

Senator Stanford gives his salary as a Senator to his private secretary. He probably spends more money than any man in either House. When *he comes to Washington at the beginning of the session he makes a deposit of 150,000 at a local bank, and both he and his wife check against it. If anything remains at the end of the session, which is rare, he leaves it on deposit, and then when he returns to Washington he has something to go to market with. The Senator maintains four establishments. He has a city residence in San Francisco, another In the country forty miles from that place, a third in Washington, and a fourth in New York for his accommodation when he visits the metropolis. He also has his private car, with servants aboard always standing on a side-track in Washington ready for use when he wants to travel. Sometimes he loans it to his friends. His cook is a handsome Chinaman

John F. Cook, the tax collector of the District of Columbia, is said to be worth $200,600. He has held his present, office for fifteen years.

Ex-Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, owns large estates, and his little boy, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, will inherit a fortune when his father dies.

Although Representative Smalls, South Carolina, boards in Washington, he is said to be wealthy, and his daughters are being educated in New England seminaries.

Representative O'Hara, the colored Congressman from North Carolina, owns a three-story brick house in a fashionable quarter of the capital, very near the Pendleton mansion.

Fred Douglass owns a pretty little place in the suburbs of Washington worth |12,000. His home is part of the Van Hook estate, which was divided and sold on condition that no colored man should ever become a purchaser. .John Lynch, who was one of the pre siding officers of the last national Republican convention, owns extensive cotton plantations near Natchez, Miss. He spends most of his time in Washington where he is studying law, and is worth 9100,000.

George W. Williams, the first colored man who ever got into the Ohio Legisla ture, and who was appointed by Presi dent Arthur as Minister to Hayti, but was not confirmed, says that there are one hundred negroes in Washington worth 920,000 and over, a thousand worth between 95,000 and 912,000.'

RAILROAD TRAVELER'S RIGHTS. A man named Myron T. Ely has done the public some service in compiling from court reports a manual of the rail way passenger's legal rights. Why, when and where may a passenger be ejected from a train is frequently a perplexing question for conductors, and the exercise of the right is certainly humili ating to passengers.

For instance, it is one thing to prevent a drunken or disorderly person or a "bad character" from boarding a train, and quite another to expel such a one after being lawfully on board.

But having lawfully allowed a drunken man to get on board, he cannot be ex-

Sehaves.

elled during the journey unless he mis-

Then, too, a company may refuse to allow a passenger to board a train without a ticket, but if he succeeds in getting aboard he cannot be expelled for want of a ticket if he tenders the legal fare.

But if you refuse to pay your fare and the train has been stopped for the purpose of putting you oft, a subsequent offer to pay does not give you aright to remain nor take from the conductor the right to exclude you from the car.

Nor having been put Off do you gain a right to re-enter immediately on tendering either the fare or a ticket. You forfeit your right to continue on that train.

Except that if the train stops at a regular station and before being ejected there the fare is offered, the ,c$juUc( or should receive it.

It is a familiar rule that in case it is lawful to expel a passenger it must be done with as little violence and force as

ftossible,

Where there is no such statute requiring expulsions to be made at some regular stopping place or near a dwelling, the

fent

assenger

may be put off at any convenpoint, except that he cannot be expelled where or in a way he will be knowingly exposed to injury.

The moral of all this is to buy a clean ticket, providing you can't get a pass, and then behave yourself. -,

PAYING BACK WEDDING PRESENTS. [Boston Sunday Times.]

Now that so many weddings are taking place and so many valuable presents are being received by the contracting parties, it is an appropriate time to call attention to one phase of the wedding gift custom which is overlooked by the majority of brides and grooms and their friends also. It is not intended to dampen the joy of the recipients at the bounty of their friends, or to suggest that such bounty is out of place, but simply to remind them that wedding presents, as well as bfoad when cast upon the waters, may return after many days.

Young couples do and should feel complimented when they receive valuable tokens of love and friendship at their marriage. These tangible expressions, it cannot be denied, are considered an important feature of the occasion, and recipients can honorably congratulate themselves if they fare sumptoosly at the hands of their friends. Bat they seldom stop to look into the future on this point.

Just what does the receipts of presents costing hundreds of dollars in the aggregate mean? That a greater part of them will hare to be paid back, as it were, when the givers arrive at their own wedding days. Gifts from friends and relatives of middle aud advanced age as a role are not to be included in this statement. However, the majority of gifts received aft from those of about the s^me age as the bride and groom, and it is reasonable to suppose, aigorag from antecedent possibility and observation, that they too will some day, and probaon not a very distant day, be brides grooms themselves. Custom deds that they be remembered by til

and

whom they have remembered, and pride compels that the return gift be equal, if not greater in value to the first.

TERKE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

and in a manner so as not to

njure him. In some States a statute provides that the expulsion must be at a regular station, or near some dwelling house. A violation of such a provision makes the company liable.

You must exhibit or deliver up a ticket when properly requested. You cannot ride upon a bogus or improper ticket, nor on one whicn has "expired," nor on a forged or stolen ticket, nor yet on one purchased with counterfeit money. An Illinois decision makes you liable to expulsion, without redress, if you, having no ticket, refitxn to pay fare, even though the fere asked )e more than the price of a ticket. You may be ejected for violation of law, or for wilful breaches of any reasonable rules made by the company. You cannot ride on a ticket purchased with counterfeit money, if the company's agents are apprised of that fact.

Thus it is that a young couple, rich in I

friends and consequently rich in wedding gifts, have saddled upon them at the beginning of their new life a series of debts, to speak bluntly, which they will have to pay in the course of time. To say that they will be paid willingly does not alter the fact that they are to be paid at a time when every dollar is worth a hundred cents to the recently married young people. That they are paid en a kind of installment plan is one redeeming feature.

Time is unlikely to change the custom nevertheless, and perhaps it is not in the least inappropriate that wedding gifts should be given and received on no more fitting occasions can expressions of good-will, esteem and love be made. As this is so, and is likely to continue to be so to the end of the chapter, one suggestion may be made which will mitigate, as far as possible, the state of things just enlarged upon. See to it that the wedding presents you make are useful they may be elegant and ornamental as well, if you wish. Then when friends who you have thus favored are called upon in the midst of their cares and expenditures of married life to return the compliment, it will not be to much a burden as a pleasure, if your gift has proved useful and a comfort, as well as an expression of good-will.

This may be considered a heartless way of discussing a graceful custom approved by society but the candid observer cannot deny that the practice has its disadvantages which should be borne in mind and remedied as much as is possible.

THIS YEAR'S STYLE OF GIRLS. [New York letter.] The popular thing in girls this year is dashing and straight and strong. She greets mankind with an imperious stare as she strides along the street, with her chin ia the air, her shoulders well back, and her arms swinging to and fro. This week settled it. The opera brought society back, and the proper girl came romping home with flashing eyes and the ruddy glow of perfect health showing through the nut-brown tan of the summer's campaign. The clinging girl with tender eyes, the romantic girl with the yearning glare, the domestic girl with purring voice, the "brilliant" girl with her turbid French, the smuggling girl with her artful smirk and the girl who clung to the skirts of mamma—tney are gone, all gone. They went away in a flutter, with timorous screams at the snort of the engine and the rush of the burly world. Now they've come back, but they re not the same. Instead there's an aruiy of iofty, gay, intrepid, mettlesome, dashing girls, who swagger abroad with delicious feminine audacity, and who have brourfht the breeze of the mountain top, the salty flavor of the ocean's edge and the buoyant air of thQ Berkshire hills into the very heart of of dirty, dusty and stale New York. Of all the types that the town has seen, the girl of to-day, with her high-bred look, the daring style and winsome assumption of manliness, is far and awav tho most, fetching thing that the world at large can show. j.

BEFORE AND AFTER MARRIAGE. Baltlmorcan. Look at a young unmarried lady expecting her future husband see how carefully she dresses, how particular she is about her hair, finger nails, etc. Her lover thinks her beautiful so she is, as long as she is neatly dressed. Now follow her after marriage. Is this slovenly creature the same pretty girl? No wonder, dear sisters, that so,many husbands become disgusted with their wives. Let us who work hard for our daily bread be more careful about these little things. Trifles are not to be despised. The nerve of a tooth not so large as the finest cambric needle will sometimes drive the strongest man to distraction. How long does it take to brush the hair, aud coil it tightly about the head, and put on a neat collar? Try it and see. It does not take long to make a few linen collars with capes. If neatly attired we need not be ashamed to receive callers at any time. We have but to look around us to see that God is a lover of dainty attire. To love of beauty of refinement belongs to every true woman.

Why use a preparation that stains, is greasy or sticky, when a more etUcient, elegant and ex-
