His manner is sweet and soothing, his voice is low, and all his words and gestures conciliatory. { SR Scars “A LITTLE NONSENSE.” —Mrs. Youngwife—“Did you ever try any of my biscuits, judge?” Judge— “No, I never did, but I dare say they de- serve it.”—Yonkers Statesman. —‘Doctor, Iam very ill.

Sanger. For some time after General Har rison’s election to the Presidency Mrs. Harrison tried the task of being her own secretary. As the mail increased to forty and sixty letters per day, she called in the President’s stenographer, Miss Alice B. Sanger, to write her let- ters, and she herself signed them. Ever since her return to the White House in October she has been obliged to dele- gate the whole duty to Miss Sanger, and only personal friends receive letters in the handwriting of the White House. When the morning mail comes to the executive mansion the letters are quick- ly separated by aclerk, who s all di- rected to Mrs. Harrison on Mi anger’s desk. She runs her eye over them quickly, throwing aside those that bear the unmistakable script of the crank. The others she carries to Mrs. Harrison’s room. The twosit down at the desk Miss Sanger selects those that bear the writing of any of Mrs. Harrison's inti- mate friends, opens them with her silver paper-knife, throws away the envelope and passes the letter to Mrs. Harrison. | If itis any thing she wishes to answer herself she places it to one side. Other- wise she returns the letter to Miss San- ger, who takes stenographic notes of the desired reply always on the letter, so that there can be no mixing of an- swers. Then the grand bulk of letters—the begging variety—are taken up. The secretary reads them at a glance, and tells the gist to Mrs. Harrison. For in- stance, a woman in Wisconsin, or Ala- bama, or Texas writes for a dollar to buy a rheumatism plaster, and in lead- ing up to the request inadvertently relates her whole history and the laborious process by which she con- tracted the disease. Miss Sanger says: “Mrs. —— of —— wants $1 to buy acure for her rheumatism.” According to the reply she puts ‘“‘yes” or “no” at the head of the letter, and in a few days Mrs. —— of —— is delighted with a letter on White House paper bearing the words: “Mrs. Harrison begs to state that she is very sorry for your affliction, but there are so many calls on her charity, ete.” Miss Sanger's signature is probably known to-day better than any other woman’s in the United States. Usually three quarters of an hour is taken up in going through the mail Miss Sanger then gathers up all the letters, goes back to the house and takes the odd half hours between the President's or Secretary Halford’s calls upon her to write the answers. It is said that Miss Sanger knows more about the President's affairs than any one except Private Secretary Hal- ford, and fora matter of ten days be- fore the opening of Congress she was the only one, besides Mr. Halford, who knew the President's message. She is a jewel of secrecy, this young woman, and both the President Mrs. Harrison trust her with every oconfi- dence. She is a down East girl, and was born in Connecticut twenty-four years ago. Her parents moved to In Gianapolis when she was a child, and it was there she had her schooling. At fifteen she graduated from the high school and expected to go to college the following year. Her father, who was traffic manager of an Indiana railroad, met with reverses, lost his health, and the young daughter was forced to study typewriting and stenography. She wrote in various offices, and was taking court reports one day when Mr. Miller, of the law firm of Harrison, Miller & Elam, rushed in and asked for a stenographer. She went to his office and was there two years, when General Harrison was nominated to the Presidency. She knew him but slightly, as the other steno- graphers in the office did his work; but the day after the nomination Mr. Miller sent her to the Harrison homestead and she remained there until January, when the President gave her two months’ leave. She traveled abroad during that time; and, in addition to being one of the best stenographers at the capital, she is also a cultivated and noble look- ing girl.— Washington Cor. Philadelphia Press. RIDING EXTRAORDINARY. Remarkable Feat Performed By an English Horseman. Wagers amounting to many thousand pounds were laid upon a ride undertaken by Mr. Cowper, Thornhill, keeper of the Bell Inn, in Huntingdonshire, England, April 29, 1745.. It was considered the greatest feat of horsemanship performed up to that time. A contemporary publi- cation gives this account of it: ‘He set out from his home, at Stilton, at four o'clock in the morning, came to the Queen's Arms against Shoreditch, Lon don, in three hours and fifty-two min- utes; returned to Stilton again in four hours and twelve minutes, and then came back to London again in four hours and thirteen minutes, for a wager of 500 guineas. He was allowed fifteen hours to perform it in, which is 213 miles, and he did it in twelve hours and seventeen minutes. It is reckoned the greatest performance of the kind ever yet known. The roads for many miles were lined with people to see him pass and re-pass.” Another remarkable ride was that of Robert Carey, from London to Edin- burgh, to inform King -James of the death of Queen Elizabeth. He set out Thursday forenoon, and by night had reached Doncaster, 155 miles away. Next day he arrived at Witherington, where he attended to various matters of business. He would have arrived in Edinburgh by noon of Saturday had he not been thrown and kicked by his horse. As it was, he reached the Scotch capital in the evening, having accom- plished a ride of fully 400 miles in the daylight of three days.—Chicago News. —“Pray, my lord,” queried a gentle- man to a judge, “what is the difference between common law and equity?” “Very little in the end,” responded his lordship “At common law you are more quickly disposed of. The former | is a bullet which is instantaneously and | charmingly effective; the latter an ang- an | ler’s hook which plays with the victim pines it kills him. Common law is i prussic acid; equity is laudanum.” COAL! COAL! COALT west of Shobe, will say that I now havea large «quantity of coal mined and for sale. Shobe, Bates county, Mo.
