A remarkable coincidence hap- pened yesterday morning at the deatin of Miss A. L. Duffy, a daughter ot Capt. O. E. Duffy, the patent at- torney, which occurred at 201 D street. Muss Duffy had laid in a dying condition tor several hours, being surrounded by the members ot her mmediate tamily. The still- ness reigned over the house as her last moments were drawing to 2 close. She was conscious to the fast, and talked calmly with those about her until a moment or two be- fore the end.

The gypsy, says Chambers’ Jour- nal, loves the crescent moon, the evening star, the clatter of the fern owl, the beetle’s hum. He was born on the earth, in the tent, and he has lived like a species of human wild animal ever since. Ot hisown free will he will have nothing to do with rites or hitanies; he may, per- haps, be marred in a place of worship, to make it legal, that is all. At the end, were it not for the law, he would for choice be buried be- neath the “‘fireeplace’”’ of their chil- dren’s children. He would not dence to the pipe ecclesiastic, sound it who may—churchman, dissenter, priest or laic. Like the trees, he is simply indifferent.

While waiting tor the president to come down stairs one ot the buttons of his overcoat became entangled in the black lace trimming of a mantle worn by a tall, stately lady. When she moved forward he tound himself moving along with the procession. His endeavors to free himself attracted the notice of the president, who could scarcely keep a straight face while he shook hands with the lady, who then swept grandly out of the room, all uncon- scious of the little man bobbing along like a tin can fastened to the tail of a big Newtoundland dog. He endeavored to grasp the presi- dent’s hand as he passed, but it was no use—the procession moved on. Just outside the East room he finally freed himself and returned and shook hands with the president.— Washington Post. one, and this belief 1s strengthened, as Miss Duffy was widely known for her sweetness of character, her good works and her religious ten- dencies, she being a strict Catholic and a member of St. Patrick’s church.—National Republican. sponge.

Now they wear the gloves up to the neck and only one button on the dress. 1 don’t sea how a woman can retain her modesty or be innately refined it she goes in the presence of men bare nearly to the waist. Such costumes may be all very well for the ballet or for prize ring fighters, but it is de- moraliging for young women. My time is nearly up, but I reaily would like to come back into this world sixty or seyenty years from now, just to see how women will dress.
