At the last moment phe shrieked in a fear-, fnl manner, bnt death was almost instanta­ neous. The Druse family consisted of Mr. William Druse, a farmer of moderate means, his wife, Eoxalana, her daughter, a son named George, and a nephew named Frank Gates. Dec. 18, 1884, Druse asked the boy Gates to get up and build the fire, which he did, Mrs. Dru6e and her daughter arising at the same time. Alter breakfast Mrs. D ruse sent George, her son, out of the house, and then calling the nephew handed him a revolver and told him to shoot Druse or she would shoot him. The boy then fired at Druse, and the woman, snatching the pistol from him. iired at her hQRband until it was empty. She then took lan ax and pounded him on the head, after­ ward decapitating the body. The boy and George Druse wore then compeHed to build a large fire in both stoves and were «et on watch at the windows while the body was being burned. The flesh, after being boiled and burned off the bones, was given to the hogs. The boy stated sthat the next morning all he saw of Druse's body was a large bone, and even that was eventually placed in the stove by the daughter Mary. The ashes and few remains were then put into a.bag and a tin box and thrown into a neighboring swamp, the ax and pistol being consigned to a pond, where they were afterward found.

MOBILE dispatches give some details of the burning of the steamer Gardner, on Ihe Tombigbee River, by which twenty hu- jman lives were sacrificed: The fire was discovered in a bale of eottou by Capt Stone. A negro deck band, in throwing jwatoron the burning bale, set his clothes afire. Panic stricken he ran from place to place setting fire to cotton bales, and in a few mo­ menta the beat was in flames. Bhe was in jmidstraam and in motion. The pilots were driven from the wheel, and the crew and passen- jumped overboard. It is not thought that Jnore than one or two were burned. Capt. Stone saved himself by swimming ashore. The steamer Tally was benind the Gardner watting to paas. As soon act the flames broke oat the Tally lowered her boats and threw over iMlea, seed sacks, and planks to help the peo­ ple who were jumping from the Gardner. The heat was so intense tnat the Tally did not dare to go near, but her boats picked up a number ""Of people. When the fire broke out the Gardner was ordered to be ran ashore. 8he , backed, and bells were rung for going ahead, but the engineers were driven from their post by the flames, and the boat drifted into the woods on the opposite side from the place where there was a practicable landing. Pilot W. H. Wilson remained in the pilot house until he found that his signals were not obeyed and that the flames were licking the sida of the • pilot house, when he fled for his life. He is much praised for his heroism. The cabin-boy Of the Tall), named Barber, colored, performed heroic deeds, saving five lives by swimming j ocratic State Central Committee.

The memorial reviews Ihe proceedings by which | Turpie was elected, charging particularly that three persons voted for him who had no right to do so.

"NEWFOUNDLAND finds itself between the devil and the deep sea," Bays a Halifax dispatch. "On the one hand, it is driven out of the European markets by French ri­ vals, who receive bounties from the French Government equal to 60 per cent., and they are compelled by the English Government to supply their French rivals with bait. On the other hand, they are at the mercy of Americans, for, strange as it may seem, the treaty of 1818 is null and void as far as that colony is concerned, and every de­ nial of commercial privileges to Ameri­ can vessels last year had not even the authority of that antiquated treaty for an excuse.

Bepublican members of the New Jersey Legislature held a caucus on the 2d Inst, and agreed to support Bufus Blodgett (Dexn.) for Senator. Upon the reassem­ bling of the joint convention Mr. Blodgett was elected by the votes of the Republicans and anti- Abbett Democrats, the vote stand- 41 for Blodgett and 38 for Abbett. There was great confusion, and the result was not announced by the Chair for half an hour. Bnfns Blodgett, the new Senator, was born in Dorchester, N. H., Nov. 9, 1834. He was a member of the lower house ©f the New Jersey Legislature in 1878 and 1879, representing Ocean County. He afterward removed to Monmouth County, where he now resides. He is identified with the interests of several railroad com­ panies, and has always been recognized as a stanch Democrat. In the Assembly he fled in disregarding the strong protests of France against restrictions at this late Cod which are calculated to inflict great upon French fishermen, and is there­ fore unable to allow the ^ill passed by the Newfoundland Legislature m relatien to the fisheries to operate this season. The Secretary says the Government thoroughly understands that the French bounties are a grave disadvantage to the British fisher­ men; still it is not shown that the British fisheries are unremunerative." THE river and barbor bill passed by Congress appropriates $50,000 for sur­ veys and estimates for a waterway from Lake Michigan to Joliet and thence to La Salle, which, with the improvement of the Illinois River, would permit the pis- sage of large vessels from the lakes to the Mississippi.

BBADSTREET'S, in a review of the strikes of the first two months of the year, says: In January, 1887, there have been reported? ninety-two strikes and lockouts, involving oyer 73,300 employes, as compared with nineteen strikes and 47,200 employes during January, 1880. Of the former, eight-eight. Strikes, involving G3,300 employes, were concluded by Feb. 28; while four strikes, including 10,000 men, were still open. Of the 10,000, about 8,000 are New England boot and shoe factory hands, locked out as a protest against Knights of Labor dicta­ tion as to shop management. The number of shoe operatives locked oufr or on strike Feb. 1, 1887, was ap­ proximately, 8,400; on March 1, 188/, 5,900. The number out in var.ous small strikes is about 900, as agaiust 40 ) Feb. 1. The total number of successful strikes of the January list, including compromises as successes, was, 31 (out of 88 ended by March 1), involving 18,173 employes. As January strikes of (53,300 employes are ended, this shows that about 30 per cent, of the employes have thus far been suc­ cessful. Tue prospect, however, is for a smaller percentage of successes after the termination of the boot and shoe lockout. The totals of failures are 57 strikes and 45,128 employes--about 70 per cent. Iu January, 1836, 9 strikes, with 23,300 strikers, were success­ ful--nearly one-half--while 10 strikes, with 23,900 strikers, were failures. In February. 1887, thera were 74 strikes and 2(5.000 strikers, as compared with but 5 strikes and 10,700 strikers in February, 188(5. By the close of the montn 57 strikes, involving 20,000 strikers, had ended, and 23 strikes, With 6,000 strikers, remained unsettled. Of the 51 strikes with 20,000 strikers ended, 12 stakes and 5,350 strikers had been successful--a little over 20 per cent.; while 39 strikes, with 14,650 strikers --nearly 80 per cent.--had been failures. In February, 18(J6, all the strikes were failures, C.CNGKESS adjourned sine die at noon on Fri­ day, March 4. Among the appropriations of na­ tional importance that failed during the closing hours were the following: The deficiency, the District of Coluiubio, and the fortification bills. The river and harbor appropriation bill, includ­ ing the Heottepin Canal, failed because of the failure cf tUv 1'rtsident to sign it before the ad­ journment. Tho auti-potygaiiiy bill became a law without the Pre sident's signature, ten days having elapsed after its passage before the final adjournment ot Congress, 'ihe failure of the deficiency bill is likely to embarrass the postal service, as it contained provisions for supplying pressing demands for postal-cards, stamps, una other items. Tne lentil machinery of the Gov­ ernment will also be materially disarranged during the remainder o! the fiscal year, as no money will be available for jurors', witnesses', or marshals' fees, ami many prisoners cannot be tried for months to come A number of sol­ diers' claims, aggregating S70J.0UU, which had been certified by the Treasury, will fail also of settlement. Navy department ollicials say the failure o° the bill will cause a stoppage of all work on the new cruisers Boston and Chica­ go. It is expec.ed that th-j Atlanta cau bo com­ pleted, as bat little remains to ue done on her. The Sen: to in executive session confirmed James W. Trotter to be Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, and Captain Greely to be Chief Signal Oilicer, with tho rank erf Brigadier General. A Washington special thus describes the closing scenes in the House: "All night long the conference committees wero wrestling over the contested por­ tions of the appropriations, and the two bouses were necessarily kept in session to await reports tliereou and taxe final action. It was the most tedious and un­ interesting all-night session, and ufUn~ mid­ night, when the galleries had been emptied of the crowd, at least one-half of the numbers went to their lodgings or to committee-rooms and convenient resting-placus to sleep. A quorum was not present at auy time after that hour, but the forms of legislation were kept up, and a number of bills were passed. The shout­ ing and rushing for a chatice to get bills before the House for action was kept up at intervals, but did notdistarb members sleeping in various iiarts of the hall. Wido-awake and tireless fel- ows unbent their dignity, played pranks upon each other, and resorted to otliur boyish means of whiling away the time. During the night the announcement of ail a .'reouieut upon the legislative, executive, and judicial appropria­ tion bill brightened the prospeot so that the d'- version of a brief debate on a proposition to give clerks to Representatives as well as Senators was indulged in. Meanwhile the portions of the bill tbat had been in dispute wore being en­ rolled. and the bill was ready for the Presi­ dent in good time. The House remained firm against the mail Bubsidy, and so the Senate re­ ceded and the postotlice appropriation was saved. The conferrees on the fortifications bill aid not agree, but had so far reconciled differ­ ences that it is believed a few more hours would have brought them together. Tho Hioux City public building bill, vetoed by the President, was agiin passed by tho Senate, but in the House William L. Beott, of Pennsylvania, fought it and beat it because Mr. Struble, of Iowa, had defeated the Sioux City bridge bill, in which Scott was interested." IRISH TRIALS.

The venue was changed to Dublin County from Dublin City that a jury of landlords might be obtained. All the leading members of the Irish bar were employed by the Crown to prosecute.

The result is a staggering blow t* the Tory Government and policy, and will be disastrous to the Irish landlords. Ten­ ants who have hitherto held back from adopting the plan of campaign, which is no more than a strike against unjust rents and pooling of issues by tenants, so to say, will be emboldened to adopt it now, andthe lancfljfcd? will have to meekly surrender or go witliout aDy rents whatever. The failure to convict was doubtless due to the recent debate on <he Parnellite amend­ ment, when every English Radical who spoke took occasion to give a more or less qualified indorsement to the plan of cam­ paign and roundly denounced the heartiest conduct of the Irish landlords. Irigh Agitations. During the past few months a new form of agitation has arisen in Ireland. The autumn and winter have been a season of distress to the Irish tenants of land, who have found it hard to pay the rent due by them to their landlords. The chief catise of this is the fact that the prices of the products raised on Irish soil have fallen during the past year, while the amount of renL on many of the estates, has remained at the same figure. While, then, the ten­ ants have received less for their labor, they have been expected to pay the same as be­ fore for their land. Stents on very many Irish estates have been lowered during the past five or six years by the land courts, appointed under tho land'act of 1881. But these lowered rents were fixed at a time when products brought higher prices than they do now. ihe d fficulty which the tenants have had in paying their rents suggested a new plan to; some of the Irish Nationalists, espe­ cially to two members of Parliament, Mr. Jo.n Dillon and Mr. William O'Brien, and they organized what is now notorious as the plan of campaign." It was the pur­ pose of this plan to protect the tenants from paying to the landlords a rent wnich the organizers of the movement regarded as too high. In brief, it was proposed that the tenants should pay into the hands of "cer­ tain designated members of the National League--among others Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien--what was considered a fair rent for the lands they tilled. Money thus re­ ceived was to be held as a trust." The trus­ tees were to proifer to the landlords what they regarded in each case as fair rent; and if the landlords refused to accept it, the trustees were to hold the money for the benefit and support of the tenants who had paid it in. The "plan of campaign" was carried on successfully in many cases. Mr. Dillon and others went from place to place and called meetings of the tenants, who flocked in and paid into their hands the sums agreed upon as fair rents. At the same time inflammatory speeches were made, and the agitation became an excited and serious one. But the Government would not allow it to go on. Mr. Dillon was ar­ rested and arraigned, and one of the Irish Judges declaied the plan of campaign to be a conspiracy against the law, and there­ fore a crime. But Mr. Dillon, when set fiyte on his own recognizances, continued his speeches and efl'orts, until he was again nrrested. Several other prominent movers in the plan were also arrested at the same time. A CHILD WITHOUT EYES. & The Strange Phenomenon Born in Coat City, Ind., Two Tears Ago. (Brazil (Ind.) special.) William and Anna Armstrong of Coal City, Owen County, have a daughter named Nellie, about li vears old, who was born without eyes. The external parts of the eye, the eyelids and the cilia, are perfect; but the eyeball, or globe, is entirely wanting. The eyelids are closed normally, never opening voluntarily, but they may be separated with ap­ parently little effort. The shedding of tears when crying indicates the presence and normal _ action of the lachrymal glands. There is no defect in any other organ of sense, either structural or functional. When bnt a few days old the child betrayed an appreciation of light by turning her face toward the window or open door. Her sense of touch is so acute that she is able to distinguish the different members of the household in this way.

The House of Representatives spent the entire day in com­ mittee of the whole, discussing the question of the permanent location of the State Fair. A BILL changing the mode of special assess­ ments for improvements, making the assesments on the value of the property and not on the number of feet frontage, was introduced in tne Senate on the 3d inst. Senator Shutt offered a bill to enable County Judges to take acknowl­ edgment of chattel mortgages in cases where there are >0 Justices of the Peace in tow nships where such mortgages ore made. Senator Dar­ nell introduced a measure changing the weight of a bushel of sweet pota­ toes from fifty-five to fifty pounds. A large number of nominations by Gov. Oglesby were confirmed by the Senate. The battle over the location of the State Fair began in tho House with the reading of the journal and raged all day. The House went into committee of the whole, and Mr. Kister spoke in favor of Peoria. Mr. Vickers, of Johnson, supported the claims of Springfield. Ex-Senator Archer followed with an argument for the capital. Mr. Chase lauded the claims of Chicago. Mr. John­ son of Whitesides, said he thought the Legislar ture had no right to dabble in tne matter. He was not iu accord with the State Board. Spring­ field always wanted something. He liked the town, but disliked its politicians. The city had tor years been asking for everything. It was not satisfied with the State House, costing $•1,000,1.00. The politicians of Springfield exhib­ ited a cheek that \\ as positively refreshing. The sphinx of Egypt was very grave, but noth­ ing in comparison to the faces of the Springfield people. Speaker Calhoun spoke for Decatiyr, and Mr. Blackburn urged the claims of Dan­ ville. The first ballot resulted: Total vote cast, 147--Springfield, 4J; Chicago, 48; Peoria, 32; Decatur, 11; Olney, 3; Danville, 2; Champaign, 1; Hyde Park, 1. Second ballot; Total votes cast, 145; Springfield, 55; Chicago, 48; Peoria, 30; Decatur. 9; Olnev, 1; Hyde Park, 1; Champaign City, 1.

The result of the fourth and final ballot was aB follows : Total vote cast, 144; necessary to a choice, 72; Springfield, 7'J ; Chi­ cago, 37 ; Peoria, 24. The committee rose and the formal report was made to the full house. The report was adopted and the committee dis­ charged. The bill was read a second time, and Littler offered an amendment giving the de­ scription of the land on which the fair is to be locatod, in all 15) acres of land, including the Sangamon County fair-ground. Tho amend­ ments were adopted. Mr. Gallowav presented an amendment forever prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors on the ground Mr. Merritt shouted: "Oh, that won't dol" Mr. Galloway said years aco the first place to locate "bell- holes" on fair-grounds was Springfield. He was opposed to the Stato running a gin-shop for the maintenance of the fair. The House refused to table tho amendment by a vote of yeas 00 to nays 08. Mr. Fuller offered a suggestion pro­ hibiting municipalities from issuing licenses to sell liquor on the fair-grounds, ana wiping the State Board out of existence if such sales were permitted. Mr. Fuller's amendment was lost by a vote of yeas 59 to nays 69. Why Zach Chandler Was Not Presented at Conrt, When Zach Chandler and his wife and daughter were in England during Mr. Motley's career aa Minister, he asked to be presented at court, and al­ though he was then a Senator of the United States and a personal friend of Gen. Grant's, Minister Motley refused to do it. His refusal was grounded on what he held should be the personal refinement and culture of the Ameri- cons selected for the high honor of bewing before the Queen, Zach Chan­ dler's grammar was uneven, his speech marked by many idioms of the self- made Westerners, and his manners bad not the grace and polish that Mr. Mot­ ley considered indispensable. This re­ fusal to present at court being all in the same political party, as it wore, did not attain the publicity of the Phelps- Iiice incident of the last summer, but it doubtless led to the downfall of Mr. Motley quite as much as anything that Gen. Badeau has related in his recent chapters on the historian-diplomat.-- SL Louis NATIONAL LAW-MAKERS. la Being Boat by flM Ha- Lefflalatiirflb ftrthc assembling of tho Senata, on the 26th nit., Mr. Ingalls was sworn in as President pro tern.

In executive session Public Printer Benedict was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 37 to 19. The report of the Committee ou Printing recommended his rejection because he did not answer to the requirements of the law, which stipulates that the incumbent of this office shall bo a prac­ tical printer, which, technically speaking, Mr. Benedict is not, having never learned the trade. He gained what knowle ige he has of the printer's art while editor of a newspaper and proprietor of a job offlco. Mr. Gormau aud Mr. Miller, of New York, defended Benedict, and argued that haviug proved himself a comoetent man (luring six months of trial he should not be rejected upon a technicality, which appeared to be tne opinion of the Senate, for twenty Repub­ licans voted in his favor.

The House of Representatives reced­ ed from its amendments to the Senate retaliatory fisheries bill and the Pacific railroad investiga­ tion reBolu tions. The Committee on Ways and Means made an a Iverse report on the bill for the relief of sutterors by fire at Eastport, Me. SENATOR HOAB made a bitter attack on Speaker Carlisle, in the Senate on the 3d initt He stated that by holding back the appropria­ tion bills both the Senate and House were com­ pelled in the closing hours of the session to sub­ mit to the dictation of three or four members of the House Committee on Appropriations. He also complained that the SpeaKer haa recently refused to recognize a n ember desiring to make a motion of which the Chair disapproved. The Kentucky Senators rose and defended Speaker Carlisle from the charge of usurpation of power. The Senate passed bills for public buildings at Dayton, Sioux City, Lafayette, and Lynn over vetoes by the President, and tho House bill ap­ propriating S6,000,00j to pay pensions to Mex­ ican veterans.

Chairman Curtin, of tho select committee cre­ ated by tho House of Representatives to inquire into the cause and extent of Western railroad ntrikes, submitted the report of that commtitee. By far the larger part of the report is devoted to a history of the origin and progress of the Missouri Pacific strike, and a recapitulation of tho testimony taken by the committee. Why He Wouldn't Walk. A good story is told of Mark Twain, that has not yet been printed. It ap- fiears that last winter, having to fill a ecturing engagement at a Western city, the humorist boarded a train that is noted for its slowness and is always avoided by regular travelers. But the lecturing committee had written to the humorist agreeing to meet him at the depot upon the arrival of this train, and so ne had no alternative. Two hours' traveling, however, served to put Mark out of patience. Stopping the conductor as he passed through the caf Mark asked as civilly as he could: " \\ hy don't you people run this train faster?" The conductor, ignorant who his questioner was, rejoined: "It runs fast enough to suit us. If you don't like the rate of speed why don't you get out and walk?" "Well, I would," re­ turned Mark, settling back in his seat, "but that some friends won't come to meet me until the train arrives, and I don't want to be waiting around the depot for two or three hours."--New York Star. 8rdney Smith to Lney "Lucy, Lucy, my dear child, don't tear your fro Jt; tearing frocks is not of itself a proof of genius. But write as your mother writes, act as your mother acts; be frank, loyal, affection­ ate, simple, honest, and then integrity or laceration of frock is of little import. And Lucy, dear child, mind your arithmetic. You know in the first sum of yours I ever saw there was a mis­ take. You had carried two (as a cab is licensed to do), and you ought, dear Lucy, to have carried but one. Is this a trifle? What would life be without arithmetic but a scene of horrors? You are going to Boulogne, the city of debts, peopled by men who have never understood arithmetic. By the time you return I shall probably have re­ ceived my first paralytic stroke, and shall have lost all recollection of you. Therefore I now give you my parting advice: Don't marry anybody who has not a tolerable understanding and a thousand a year. And God bless you, LfWG AS A HABIT. BMOuwrefAauUM, and How R >» (anted. pjondon Saturday BevIew.J in Europe lying is considered on t$M» whole objectionable, and not to be prac­ ticed by any except politicians,traveler*, and the newspaper people. Skilled witnesses, of course, do not belong to any continent or climate. In the United States, on the contrary, lying is con­ sidered a great set-off to conversation; without it no Quo can aspire to be con­ sidered better than a mere fossil; it is the hunting-ground of the humorist, and the journalist occasionally makes a great hit by telling a plain, unvarnished tale. In Asia none but a rude, unedu­ cated boor would ever think of telling the truth. Lying is a sign of culture and polite breeding. In Africa the natives are not yet sufficiently civilized to have any definite notions on the sub­ ject. They are on the lowest possible level. They lie or not, accordingly aa they think it is to their advantage or the reverse. Bum and religion. Bibles and bayonets, have yet to do 4 great work before the poor African cai.v rise to the dignity of forming a definite' policy on the matter. The Australians lean to the American side. In Europe Ananias is branded as a bad man; in America he is a funny man ; in Asia, where he is known, fce would ba can­ onized as the polished man; while in Africa he is no better nor worse than any man--he is the mere average mor­ tal ; he drifts with, the tide of events, and is not worth making an occasional f e t i s h o f . O n t h e w h o l e , t h e c a r e t r o f - Ananias must be considered a failure. • Where he is known he is not respected, and where he might be respected he is not known. In Sunday-schools and in the pages of tracts he points a moral, but the position is inadequate to the de­ sires of a true ambition, or the require­ ments of a discriminating philosophy. To sporting journals and to the entire American press he is invaluable, but this is unfeeling, thankless ground. He merely represents a record which no one is desirous to break. Not a man of those who cite him regards him with gratitude, not to speak of honest esteem. If Ananias had his rights he would occupy an important place among the Hindoos' 1,000,000 gods. In China he would figure prominently among Confucian worthies. He ought, cer­ tainly, to be considered the particular deceased ancestor of the Chinese and Indo-Chinese races. In cold countries lying is charitably supposed to be the result of superabundance of imagina­ tion, of a misdirected energy of exag­ geration, or of a careful and judicious spirit of economy, as in the case of the gentleman who had far too much re­ gard for the truth to be using it on every paltry occasion. In the East, however, whatever other exuberance there may be it is not that of imagination, and economy is far from being a leading characteristic. The profusion 4s, nevertheless, certainly not the truth. That commodity is econo­ mized down to the vanishing point. The Eastern statesman or diplomatist con­ siders it beneath him, whether from a professional or an aesthetic point of view. Any man can tell the truth. As an assertion of his superiority to the supposed average man it is therefore imperative that he should tell lies. It is only when An oriental leader has reached the level of absolute genius that he ventures to state things as they really are. It is then extremely good policy, for no one believes him, and he attains his object much more easily and rapidly than he possibly could by an elabora­ tion of misstatements. This measure is, however, only open to the most eminent, and therefore to the most practiced in the other thing, for a poli­ tician would very rapidly lose his repu­ tation for good manners if he were com­ monly, or even on an appreciable per­ centage of occasions, to tell the truth. If it cannot be done without, it must be doled out in the most chary fashion, for the sake of good name and breeding. They all do it, down to the very lowest, with the utmost equanimity and zest, and they do it simply because they aria incapable of doing anything else. When the Hindoo durzi, the household tailor, comes to the viemsahib with a request for leave on account of the sudden and unexpected death of his mother, the tenth time that that relative has expired within the year, it is not so much the lack of inventive faculty that is present in him as the consciousness that it wpuld be indelicate, not to say impertinent, to blurt out the real truth. Moreover, he knows that a refusal will give him an opening for loud demonstrations of woe which are likely to be effectual, and at any rate would not be justified by any other plea for leave of absence. But it is far more often the desire to please that leads to lying among the lower classes in the East, more especially in India. The anxiety of the native to avoid in any way annoying any one often leads him to the most reckless state­ ments. You are fagged after a long day's shooting. You ask him how far it is to the nearest railway station or to the village where your tents are. He will answer with the utmost alacrity and sympathy that it is bahul nazdik, quite close, and indicates the shortest way. When you have walked four or fire miles, and have not arrived, you begin to realize the beauty of exactitude. You rail at the mild Hindoo, and think that missionary labor is not so success­ ful as it ought to be. The fictions of the dak bungalow butler are too famil­ iar to need more than an illusion. The "everything have got" which fillips your appetite after a long stage fades away through visions of beef and mut­ ton to the inevitable murghi Still, the butler rejoices in the fact that he has pleased you with anticipations and kept, up your hopes to the last moment. He is as invariable with his "everything have got" as the household servant is with the death of his mother. A Dubious Compliment. She (after having played several airs for him on the piano)--There, I'm tired. He--Oh! please do nttt stop. She (smiling)--Do you like my play­ ing then ? He--Certainly, I did not think yon could play at all. I think since I have heard you, that you play remarkably well indeed. You must have been practicing. I should think you would take lessons from a regular teacher.-- Boston Courier. is- A LADY called recently at the house of a friend, and there met a gentleman^ who was introduced to her as a "new lodger." After he had left the room she said to her friend, "Why do you keep that odious creature in your house? He doesn't correspond with tli#r rest of your furniture." Imagine htjr surprise when informed that he was her friend's new husband.
