Artroy Knox, of Texas Siftings, has admitted that he is the author of "Beautiful Snow." -George W. Cable, the novelist, has become a Sunday-school teacher at his new home in Northampton, Mass. -Edwin Booth was fifty-two years old on November. 20,a nd celebrated the anniversary in a quiet way in Bal timore. -Dr. Albert Thompson, a young Irish physician, has been presented with the 'Abell medal for removing poison in a case of diphtheria by suck ing it away. -Lr. Alvarez, the famous French homceopathist, but who believes in big doses in the way of bills, sued for $12.5,000 for medical attendance of a Princess, but was awarded only $17, 000, though he had refused $30,000 to compromise the matter. -Sam Jones managed to keep out of the way of the cvclone in his North western tour, but he has met with a terrible blow in the discovery that a bogus Sam Jones has been doing en tireiy successful revival work through reveral towns in Minnesota. --A colored citizen of Prince Edward county, Virginia, ascribes Gen. Lee's election to the fact that he carried charms. Ne says he "seed 'em." When asked what the charms were, he said, the left hind foot of a graveyard iabbit, a vial of stumpwater, and a coon bone toothpick. -Schofer, the billiardist, when playing wears full evening dress. He has a fine diamond stud in his shirt. Maurice Vignaux also wears a full dress suit. His diamond stud is worn in the shirt-collar. Schmfer carries his cues in a green sack, and a piece of chalk in one of his vest pockets. Vignaux carries his jointed stick in a leather case. -Jay Gould's father, a staid, honest old farmer in Deleware eonnty, New York, bad very little faith in his son's capacity to get on, because he was not fond of chopping, ploughing, sowing or reaping. When the lad decided t quit his rural home, the elder Gould, it is said, handed him half a dollar, and told him be would certainly go to the devil. And lie is still going there. -Judge Kelley says that his present good health is largely due to his mas tery of the tobacco habit. He burned the weed five and fifty years and he actually has slept with the quid in his mouth. Now he neither touches nor tastes the staff and the blood feels r..uch better in his veins than when the globules bore with them a burden of nicotine. -Sir Noel Paton has at present on his easel, far advanced toward com pletion, a picture for Queen Victoria, which deserves some notice on account of the purpose for which it is designed as well as for its own sake. The pic ture is to be the centrepiece in the private oratory at Osborne. Its sub ject is Christ in the Garden finding the three Disciples asleep, and its proper title is "Vigilate et Orate." It is to be. plaeed over the prayer desk, be tween two other pictures by the same artist, repli:as of larger works, enti tled resapectively, "The Good Shep herd" and "The Man of Sorrows." The three pictdres thus form in effect a trirtych, though they will not be affectually joined. ROW TO GO TO rHamtLETON The Tdip Shortenesd, and Kade Xore Agree ..able thanl Formerly. The traveling public are greatly in debted to the Atlantic Coast Line for tte making of a new and most agreea ble route~ from the up-country to Charleston. This line extends from Columbin to Sumter~ by the Wilming ton, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, thence to Lane's by the Central, and from Lones to Charleston by the North eastern. The Coast Line, already con trolling the W. C. & A. and the N. E. Rl. R.,~had but to build the Central, forty-one miles, long, to have this new route from Columbia to Charleston, one hundred and thirty-seven miles long. The work was finished a little over a year ago, and the new line has steadily grown in popularity. The first imp~iovement was in the shorten ing of the time between the capital and the metropolis - which, of course, brought the competing line to do as well, till now the trip is made in three hours and twenty minutes. When it was made, a few years ago, in five hours, conservative people thought that progress in rapid transit had .re' a climax! ~f'toake such good time requires a irst-rate road-bed, and first-class roll ing-stock. These the Coast Line has provided, and the comfort of the trav eler is infinitely greater than in the good old days when twenty miles an hour constituted the height of railroad ambition. Of course in making such speed, there is no such waste as "twenty minutes [or less] for supper." There is, therefore, a buffet car, furnished with comfortable revolving chairs, whereon the passenger may sit, as at the table of~ a first-class hotel, and enjoy his "snack" in peace and at leisure. The menu is simple, but nicely prepared and nicely served. It is all that the traveler wants for sup per or for breakfast. The prices charg* ed are very reasonable. The contrast between a meal (?) at the average railroad eating-house and the "snack' on the buffet of the Coast line is very suggestive of Mark Twain's "Five minutes for dinner-America," and "Thirty minutes for dinner-France.' The price of tickets is the same on all lines.* -Frank Ilatton, Assistant Postmas ter-General, says it makes him sick tc hear the word "reformer," and tellh the reason why, thus: "The men whc called themselves reformers used tc come up and camp out in the corridors of the Postoffice Department while they demanded offices for th~ir rela tives andI even for their wives' rela Couldn't Account for It. Two gentlemen of color, interested in a living in North Mitneapolis, were recently overheard having the follow ini conversation: "Sam, I hear dat dar's a good many spring chickuns bein' tuk from de roosts in Hlighlan' Park. 'Sdat so?" "Yes, niggah. dat am de sad fac.' An' Ise berry sorry that such or rep eration is a-gittin out 'bout dat subub; 1 Jibs dar mysel'." --Dat so? It am de truff den." "Yes, Sam, it am the truff. I hab seen de proof wid dese berry oculer demerstratious mysel'." "How's dat?" "Well, ver see ole man, Ise got a smart string ob chickuns mysel' an' I reckous dey s a-in-creasin' right 'lono all do time. 'Most ebery mawnin'l finds two or three moah chickuns in my coop den da was de night befoab. How's dat? Why it makes dem chick uns, specially do spring uns, so scart to tinks dey's gwine to be stole dat dey just sneaks 'way in de night an' coimes ober to my roost whar deys safe. Nobodv'd tink ob lookin' dar foah spring chickuns ter steal, an' when dey gets dar Ise bound ter pahtec 'um. Beats all now scaht dem chickuns gits!"-.inneapolis Mail. Growth of H!ir on a Dead Body. Two years ago William A. Walters was buried in the Stone Chapel ceme tery, in Woodcock valley, Huntingdon county, Md. Tue other day the body was exhumed to be taken by friends of the deceased to Williamsport for rein terment. When the coifin was reached by di-ggers they discovered that it had sprung at the joints, and out of the crevIces the hair on the skull protrud ed in all directious. On opening the casket the hair on the head was found to measure eighteen inches, the whis kers eht inches, and the growth on the breast six inches, notwitisu ansiing the body had been cleauly shaved whon prepared 2or burial. X similar in stance occurred in 1882. at tie Casse ville cemetery, tit teen zuies fron t hore. Upon exhuming the remains of Jacob Bressweil the skeleton, whieb had been buried for ten years. had h;ir on it ten to twelve inches in le::gth and us firm as during life. Good Work of the Life Saving.Servi e. The annual report of the superin tendent of the life saving service shows that the number of disasters to docu mented vesssels within the field of sta tiou operations during the year was 256. There were on board of these vessels 2,206 persons, of whom 2,196 were saved and only ten lost. The number of shipwrecked persons who received succor at stations was 568, to whom 1,686 days' relief in the aggre ate was afforded. The estimated value of the vessels involved in these disasters was $3,519,550, and of the cargoes $1,084,905. The total valne of the property imuerilled was $4,604,455. Of this amount $3,352,760 was saved and g1,251,695 lost. The number of essels totally lost was 59. The following table gives a summa ry of the statistics of the service from the introduction of the present system in 1871 to the end of the fiscal year. The loss of life stated below includes 183 lost at the wrecks of the Huron and the Metropolis, which are really dot chargeable to the service: Total number of disasters.. 2,918 Value of property involved.$51,763,694 Value of property saved... 36,277,920 Value of property lost..... 15,486,765 Number of persons involved 25,693 Number of persons saved. 25,235 Number of persons lost... 457 Number of persons succored at stations............. -- 4,829 Number of days succor afford ed..................... 13,313: Deducting from the number of lives lost given above the loss at wrecks of the Euzron and the .Yetroolis, there is presented the remarkable exhibit of only 274 lost within the scope of the service during the fourteen years em braced by the table. South Carolina at New Orlean.. The New Orleans Times-Demnocrat says: "In conversing with Mr. A. L. Rdden, the acting commissioner of South Carolina, a reporter learned that he had advices of the shipment of the following goods for the exhibit of that State, which are expected to arrive in a few days: Samples of fertilizers from sixteen different manu facturers, a quantity of sheaf rice, min erals from the celebrated flaile gold mines, mineral water from the Glenn Springs, crockery made of kaolin mined in South Carolina; one block of this kaolin will be exhitbed, weighing over 1,600 pounds; cotton seed meal and cake, samples of cotton goods from five dlifferent large mills, embrac ing all ciasses of such goods made in the State, samples of boots and shoes, woollen goods, china ware, bent-wood furniture, and bags and bagging from the Charleston Bag Manfacuring Company. There will be ample space provided in this departm~ent for the collective colored exhibit, which will be both educational and industrial. In the pavilion of South Carolina will be displayed a full line of the wines and beer of the State." -The'armistice between Bulgaria and Servia closes one of the most bril liant and satisfactory campaigns ever fought in war-scarred Europe. Prince Alexander has achieved a splendid fame. Instead of a scorned, snubbed and depreciated princelinig he is ap proved a natural leader and sovereign. He cann'ot now be reckoned out in any settlement which the Powers may make of the affair. By pursuing the Ser vians across the border he has gained the full advantage of his success in a war wantonly forced upon him. The bragging King Milan will pay for his hardihood with his throne, and the greedy Servians will be assessed all the damages. It is as fine an example of retributive justice as war often affords.

The first timue ti:e mocking-bird's ioor vas op fned,ihe was not in the least surprised; no doubt, seeing others at liberty, 1e had expected it. At any rate. whatever his emotions,he instant ly ran out on tiie perch placed in his doorway, and surveyed his now world from this positiou. He was in no pan;c, not even in haste. When fully ready. he began his tour of inspection. Firn, to see if he really could reach the trees without, throughi those large. lear opnie g., hu tried the windows. ach of the taree, out gently,not bounc ing agiUSt them so Niolently as to fall to the flour, as more impetuous or less intelligeut birds invariably do. Having proved each to be impassable, he was satistied. and never tried again. Next, the ceiling interested him, and he fiew all around the room, touching it gently everyw here, to assure himseli of its ature. Convinced tnus in a short time, that his bounds were only widened,not removed, he went on to investigate losely what he had looked at frou a distance: every bird-cage, inside as well as outside, if the owner happened to be away, every piece of furniture, pictures, books, and the pincushion. where he was detained some time try ing to carry oif the large black heads of shiawl-pins. The looking-glass ab orbed him most completely on the irst day; he 1w against it, he hovered before it, slowly passing from bottom to top, aligated on the top and looked over behind. I think he never solved that mystery to his own satisfaction, as he did that of the window-glass, which must have buen quite as inexplicable. and it was never without a certain charm for him. He had no trouble in finding his way home: standing on a cage next to his, he saw his own door perch, recognized it instantly (though he had been apon it only once), and, being hungry, dropped to it and ran into the cage.-Oive Thorne Miller, in November Atlantic.
