But sotne thieves came along the other night and carted the gun away, leaving no trace. The Prince of Wales was fond of Fred Archer when that excellent jockey was alive, and Edmund Yates in his London World re- cords it as a \touching incident of his royal highness' kindly nature\ that the prince re- cently called to see Archer's child and gave it \sweets.\ It Is astonishing, but Touched for as a fact by no less a personage than Tourgenieff, that Victor Hugo declared that he never read any of the works of either Goethe or Schiller. But he added when telling Tourgenieff about IL \I know pretty well what is written in their books.\ An American dentist, who has many patients in England, where he resides, was invited to a garden party where he was re- ligiously \cut\ until the Prince of Wales, who is also a customer, saw bun and made \made much of him.\ Then all the rest crowded about the dentist and could not be too polite to him. The English robe of state, which Lord Ran- dolph Churchill appeared in at the pricking of the eherins, is so gilded that it cost about £1,000. It is worn twice a year by the chan- cellor of the exchequer and it is the custom of one chancellor td hand it over to his rue - canoe. Mr. Disraeli would not part with his, however, and a new ono had to be made for Mr. Gladstone. Electrical heating stoves are being intro- duced in France, a peculiar feature of their construction being that the wires are let through apertures formed in exposed plates of refractory clay and plumbago. The air eirculatcs very freely through the apertures, where it coulee in contact with the red hot wires. Wire bobbins which are Inserted in the apertures are heated by the passage of the current, and serve to heat the air m it passes over thorn. ALL SORTS.

The woman suffrage law recently passed by the lower house of the Vermont legislature required that female voters should owe 050 worth of property. Miss Hughes, a daughter of the author of \Tom Brown's School Days,' and Miss Greenwood, a daughter of the editor of St. James' Gazette, have each brought out a book for children this year. More newspapers in this country are em- ploying lady journalists than ever before. Detroit is said to lead the list in this regard- - Every paper in the City of the Straits Ms one or more female staff writer& A big and healthy women who failed to get a seat in a Baltimore merest car the other day, finally fell on the floor, saying she couldn't stand up any longer. A roma. plates was speedike made for her on one of the bencbes. Miss Mary Yore, the young lady Michael Devitt is going to marry, has just passed her neth year. She is a brunette of graceful 1 -figure, and although not strikingly hand- some. she has a charm of manner which makes up for any lack of beauty. The widow of Oen_ Custer has an apart - meet only a few blocks away from the Wild West show in New York, wiser* the man who killed her daring husband is on exhibition. Mrs. Custer is now In the country where she will probably remain until the show is moved away. A Washington writer observes that the wives of ex -presidents live longer than their husbands. And The Louisville Courier -Jour- nal says the wives of other men do too. There are more aged widows than aged widower& Women appear to stand the wear and bear of domestic life better than men.

Margaret Mather is said to have begun life as a news girl in Detroit tibe is supporting three niew in school and is a large giver to charities. Veteran Charles W. Couidock, the Dunstan to Elite Ellidern Hazel Kirke, proposes to re- tire now after half a century of active work upon the stage. The New York press and all the metropoli- tan lovers of music have gone wild over the first presentation there of \Tristan and holden the most thoroughly Wagnerian of all Wagner's opener. The gas engineer at the Metropolitan Opera house, New York, has succeeded in eubsti- tuting the electric for the calcium light for the stage. This is the fins instance or prac- tical success in that way. The presentation of flowers to theatrical performers during a performance has been prohibited in certain European quarters, and now American managers are said to wish the law might similarly interfere here, too. St Louis clergymen passed a series of reso- lutions not long ago condemning the ballet in general and that attached to the American Opera company in particular; but the com- pany did good businem in that city, all the same. The Philadelphia amateur dramatist clubs and associations are gradually dying out be- cause of the lack of an abiding place It is claimed that three clubs have furniebed the stage with a vary large number of competent people. Madame Risked and Mrs. Ladner met not so very long ago at the bones of Mare Nevada - Palmer. They greeted each other warmly. They had not seen each other before since they were present at a grand entertainment given in their honor at Claicago some years sem Capt. J. II. Cushing, who hes just twee placed in command of Vanstetrbet's steam yacht Alva, was born in Phippsburg, Me., In 1851. He has had a wide experieuce as a sea- man, and is considered by experts one of the ablest young captains that ever coal/mailed a shfp. Theodore Thomas applied for entrance at the stage door of the theatre in which the American Opera company was to appear in Philadelphia the other day. The doorkeeper asked hint who he was. \Tboatas was the reply. *What Thomas r \The only Thomas,\ rejoined Theodore, as be pushed his way in. The emperor of Austria has granted Adolph Sonnenthal, the actor, permission to make a short visit to America. Mr. Conned will arrange for • tour of the principal cities of the United States, which will not excecti twenty performances. Sonnenthal visited America about two years ago for the first time. Frederick Dubois, who has been elected del- egate to congress from Idaho, only went to that territory three years ago. President, Arthur appointed him United States marshal largely to resist the encroachments of Mor- mon treason, and be now comes back to Washington a pronounced anti -Mormon dele- gate. Miss Marion Booth, of New York, a niece of Edwin Booth, and an actress, owns a pet black and tan dog. A dog catcher stole it from under bet arm the other day, and there was trouble till the dog was reterreed. In her excitement she dropped her puree, and then a $1,000 check. She said the dog was worth more to her than the check. Madam* Puree's-Medi rings too well to Please some of the American Opera company people, anti they had begun to fear that she would become that detestable thing, \star\ performer. So Stage Reneger Hock picked a fuss with her at St Louis, end Theodore Thomas said Furbish-Medi or be must go Mrs. Thurber, purseholder for the company, fiend of Furech-Madi, said the lee • een. ever ami Mr. There- • reeigned eile••e The 500(10 tan e at soot which are taken out . of London chimneys each year are used for fertilizing purposes, and are valued at $2100,000. The first recorded coal mine in Americo was situated near Ottawa, Me, being die covered and opened in 10150. It is estimated that the state contains one-eeventb of all known coal in North America_ Two members of the French Academy of Sciences have discovered a process (Cr con- structing mirrors whir+ give back past im- pressions. The underlying principle as the peculiar action of light on the metal selenium, ailed by electricity. A doctor in St. Louis explaius the neces- sity for having two ears by the fact that sound II always hoard more distinctly by ono ear than by the other, and in teis way it is located. A men with hut one ear can bear just as well as a man with two, but ho cannot locate isoulid. The number of deaf mutes ill the world at the present Use is estimated to be from 700,000 to 900,01:11 In the care of this vast number only about 400 institutions are pro- •ieled. France has the greatem number, about 67; tne United States follows next, with 55, while Great Britain and lreland have 46 The recent lectures in New York are said to amuse greatly the Chinese population, who are all palmists to a certain exteut. The science has been taught In Chinese wheels fair thousands of years, and as soon as a Chinese boy is able to work his future occupation is marked out for him by examination of the palm of his left hand. The largest locomotive in tM world re- eently passed through Binnarek, D. T., en route to the Cascade division of the Northern Pacific road. This engine was built expresftly by the ?fort/seen Pacific for use on the Cas- cade mountains, and without coal or water weighs eighty-two tons. When in running order she will weigh ninety tons. The latest method of Identifying prisoners which has been iutroduced into France, and I. &leo used in Russia and Japan, is to get the elect measurement of each prisoner on hie arrival at the nut_ His waist, the size of his bead, the length of his fingers and feet, the length and width of his ear and the color of his eyes are noted. A photograph is then taken. It is probable that a bridge will lie built over the East river, connecting New York end Long Island City. Mr. Everts has in- troduced a bill in the senate and Mr. Hewitt a similar one in congrele in favor of the pro- ject. As there is no known objection they will probably be mimed. The necessary capi- tal has been iwactically secured and the bridge will ponied/1y be started In a short time. CREATIONS LOWER ORDERS. A eow belonging to George Counsel, of Springport, pre/dueled a doubleheaded calf a few days ago. It had four eyes, two tongues and two beads were joined at the ear, of which teem were only three. The calf weighed about 100 pounds, but did not live. Stuffed and mounted on an artificial bough In the window of a store in Mulberry street, Newark, N. J., is a big gray owl, whose out- stretched wings mei/lure utterly five feet from Up to tip. He flew against Use headlight, of a night train between Newark acid Elizabeth the other night. A desperate fight occurred between a weasel and a hawk near nchoeneck,Lancaster county, Pa n one day recently A bystander saw a hawk alight oa the ground near some wheat stacks and then dart suddenly up into the air. Then the bird fell to the ground and ie weasel retreated from the spot to the stacks. The hawk was dead, the weasel having sev- ered the artery of the victim high in the air. Mr. Edward Avery, of Lynnhaven, Va., re- cently hail quite an exciting contest with a deer. He had wounded one and was stoop- ing over to cut its throat when another very large deer nusele a rush [tom behind, striking him with great force and knocking hint heels over head down • hill, For haln an hour man and deer fought with desperation.. Finally Mr Avery mcceediel in breaking the deer'. leg. and shortly after his brother came up with a gun and killed the beast The engineer of a train on the Western and Atlantic railroad. which was speeding through Georgia at forty miles an hour the other day, saw a dog on the track wagging his tail at his master, who leaned against • barbed wire fence calling the dog off. Before his dogship knew whet it was all about he was struck by the locomotive and his body burled against his master, who was doubled up and knocked through the fence. The man was not hurt, but there was very Mee left of the dog. OR IdiOF SOME STATE NAMES. Rhode Island owes its rueme to Isle of Reales (Roses) In the Mediterranean pea, wbieli It is said to resemble. The river front which Connecticut is named was known to the Indians as \Quiniiinticut.\ which interpreted means \at the long river.\ The name of Colorado is derived from the Spanish, and denoted a muddy or florid ap- pearance, characteristic of the Colorado \Arc\ la the French name for bow, and 'Kansas\ the Indust' for smoking water, the combination of which is npplicable to the leading stream of Arkansas. The word \California\ Bret occurred in a novel entitled \Las Sergas de Foplaielien,\ pablitheil in 1510, and the name was first given to this eitiontree by Berea' Diaz CCii- hello, who served under Cortez. got its name from the Algonquin word ellilitiwek,\ meaning \W• are men,\ in the sense of belonging to • superior race. Its sobriquet of \The Sucker State\ is said to be derived from the fact that in its early days the ineabitants sucked up their water from boles made by crayfish, the only places where pure water could be obtained. LABOR NOTES. Of the 12.000 boot and shoemakers in Berlin, half of Omni are said to be out of work. In London there are 35,000 shoemakers, Geo() of whicb are women. Sixty or seventy hours work a week ie the average for a Lou - shoemaker.

Two children belonging to a family in Hart- ford were furbilden to visit the children of a clergyman because it was supposed that there were enough childnni in that family to make up a goodly quota for the play ground. One afternoon one of the eiergymines boys, climb- ing upon the fence, shouted out: \Come over here and play with men' \I can't,\ replied the younger of the invited two, \mother says teere's enough children iii your yard.\ \Oh pshaW! come along!\ \I don't believe mother will care V cry much,\ said the elder, and he began to scale the fence.

The Kansas, Nebraska and Duhota railroad has nevi completed to Topeka, nnd trains wie be running soon. The Baltienore and Ohio Railroad company is making a bravo tight to get into New York independent of any other road's rails. The statement of the Atchison, Topeka end Santa Ise Railroad company for 0, tuber, shows the gross retrainee to be $1,087,348, an increa_se of 1111,273 over the corresponding month in 1885. The Philadelphia and Rene ing railroad is retreeiching—redueing realante and cutting down the number of high priced it supports. Its employes are also us ii to pily faro to and (coin iv sok, and are ki king up a big row about it, too. The uric.; earnings of the Louisville and Nashville railroad for the months of July, Augnet, September mid October, were $5,10 1 3,- len, and lei operating eeperuiee for the eame tirno were n2,949,515. 'Ibis is an increase of $357_401 over the earnings of the same mouths in 1575. Yearn ago the officals of the Grand Trunk railway found that they could not secure enotieh businees .rom the Canadians, and made Portlipid, Me., their eastern, rind later Chicago, their wietern terminus. The Cana- dian Pacific road has learned the same thing, and has niaile Boston its eastern terininue There are l,100 train dispatchers in the United States, 1,0()0 of whom belong to the Tmlii Dispatchers' association. The time 'emit was king until Seperintendent Minot, then of the Erie railroad, one day conceived tee idea of running a train on special time, 'ill it shieuld meet another train that was two hours late, lie met with opposition, but carried his point, and in a short time every railroad had its dispateher. ART AND ARTISTS. New Orleans Is to have an art magazine. . Mr. Elam Vedder is coming to tbis coun- try this month. He will exhibit his own paintings in Boston this winter. Rosa Bonheur is said to be woe - king out an important American conon.ssion at Nice, where she is passing the autumn. A gentleman (rein Chicago, having bought paintings and Lrie-a-brac in Paris, has been caught in an awkward predicament. The re- ceipted bills for the articles do not agree as to price with the invoices issued by the art dealer* in Paris; the layer valued the objects anent t - MOO Ism than time face of the bills. The articles have been seized at the bowel of ties owner, who affirms that be did not know of the undervaluations. Ties exhiniLien to be held next year in Man- chester, Inieland, to eornmemorate the jubi- lee of Vietorian reign will offer very large wall space to the works of artists belonging to the Victorian epoch, Oils, water colors, di-1%rings, engraviii,gs and statuary will be shown. Each artist is allowed six pieces, whielt will be grouped together. The dead \artists of Great Britain and Ireland whom works will appear include Turner, Wilkie, SLuntield, Mulready, Landseer, Ros- setti, le Walker and De %Vint SAYINGS OF SAM JONES. It takes a told pew to make a cold pulpit. There is nothing better in heaven than re - A church that can't do anything but keep itself straight is a failure. Nobody ever went to sleep indifferent to re - ninon and waked up in heaven. A child is loved by Goi because it has no opinion and wants to learn something. It takes a first class preacher and a first class hewer to get up a first class serincia. Dishonesty in the church is really crippling the c'eurelf more than anything else. I waat to see our young girls grow up bet- ter women than our mothers and wives are. I never heard yet of a committee asking for a preacher that is popular with God Al - 'nicety. AMONG LITERARY FOLK.
