In this tray was haifan inch of a sticky mass that looked like syrup.

The Pineky American Woman Who May Some Day Virtually Bale England. From the New York San. A lew years ago Miss Jennie Jerome, the second daughter of Mr. Leonard W. Jerome, met Lord Randolph Churchill at a dinner in Paris. Attracted by her beauty and the bril- lancy of her conversation he soon confined his attention toher. Those who sat near them stopped talking and listened to them with un- disguised admiration, Miss Jerome was noted for her conversational powers, but they had ever seemed to her friends as brilliant as on this occasion. Lord Randolph,however, proved @ mateh for her, H2r satire was met with sparkling repartee, and her wit and humor for once found a fairexehange. When the ladies had withdrawn Lord Randolph turned to a friend and said enthusiastically: “That's the brightest woman I ever met,” and added, with the seriousness of a fatalist, “and T mean to marry her.” Singularly enough, while he was saying this, Miss Jerome was muking an almost identical remark concerning him to oneof her sisters, Perhaps that evening she played her favorite Chopin nocturne more tenderly and wooinzly than ever, at all events, Lord Randolph was not slow in diseovering ‘that he had made as deep an impres:ton on her as she had on him, Within a fortnight of their first meeting they were engayed, and very soon afterward mai- ried. By this'union Lord Randolph secured a wife wiose aspiring and ambitious tempera- ment has spurred him on in_bis political ca- reer, and whose income is sufficient to form a welcome addition to his small annuity. Mr. Jerome conveyed to his dauzhter before her marriage the valuable property upon which the University club of this city stands, Lord Ran- dolph is a younger son of the Late Duke of Mari- borough.

WLAMES LEAPING FROM A WATER WELL— EFFECT OF THE SCENE BY NIGHT. ‘From the Salt Lake Herald. Mr. Tim Winters bad a curious experience on Beturday evening last. He has been exper! menting for some time with a view toobtain- ing a flowing weil on his premises. He had at one time a pipe to ‘the depth of about ninety- nine feet, but owing to meeting with some hard substance, which made it impossible to force the pipe any further, it was taken up. Another, however, was inserted in its place, which on Saturday evening had reached a’ depth of eighty-five feet. water, however, was of a light bluish color, resembling the refuse of the ‘wash-tub more than anything else, and came forth like a miniature geyser, the eruptions taking place at intervals of about fifteen min- Utes, the fluid rising ten or twelve feet above thecnd of the pipe. On Sat evenin; fontleman held a lighted match: over the pipe order to ascertain how near the top the water had reached, when he was startled by a ht, strong flame breaking forth and with such strength as to cause to retreat in Previous to that, Mr. Winter states, he had Boticed a rather strong sulphuric odor, but Rothing that could possibly have led him to magine the results that followed the applica- tion of the match.

An American writer in the Saturday Review writes of rattlesnakes, giving this information aboutthem. He says that if at nizht one car- eies a lantern in an infested place. it is easy to cateb the glint, as of a diamond, of the snake's eye, ifthe lantern shine on it, directly in one’s path; but they are rarely In it, and hence we al- ways threw stones at the noise when we could e the “eye glint” of the reptile; for, if seen, w of & horsewhrp, or a twiz'six or eight 1s, always stopped the music; and of all the arrant coward: one ever sav rattler” is the worst.

Perhaps my,nearest danger was one July morninz, when I got up early to take @ train sovn after dayligit. My house had a beautifal natural spring some twen: feet to the left of my front door. It came out of a dry-looking spot, where one would not expect one, and was dug out and walled up like a large tub or vase of water ever flowing over, whence the water ran down agravel knoll to a sual! stream that went to the river. As I dipped the water pail in the spring Theard a faint sound that was half like arattier. The hired man went out ten minutes later, when the light was Just strong enough to see alittle, and he saw a splendid “black veivet” on the flat stone within a few inches of the water. Now, a “black velvet" is 9 raitler or rattlesnake that has fust moulted its last year’s skin, and has in consequence “a nice clean suit of clothes on,” or its under new skin, and they are very limber and irritable at such times. This“black velvet” was, of course, killed as a matter of fact, every day exploit by this man, for he did not think it worth while to speak Of it at breaicfast, as he was an old set- tler, used to wrattlers since be was born. Bui as I was leaving for the railway I saw the snake, and I must say it was one ofthe finest ones I ever saw,some nearly tour feet long, with agrace- fal bead and slim ‘neck, and a body not as bey in diameter as they ‘often are, but an inch balf or two Inches through, and a t sloped, beautifully spotted, to nine listening rattles that were yet gently buzzing in the spasmodic quiver of & serpent's tail, as quiver as they do when just killed. Topened its crashed mouth, and it had keen, slim fangs, three on each side of its upper jaw ina little hood that covered them, and I could see the clear crystal virus drop ‘out of them, with smell not unlike concentrated prussic acid or a slight odor of burnt garlic. Its mouth was as delicate as its skin, having been shed off in its outer epidermis with the rest of the skin, as in eommon with the reptile family. Of course one needs great care not to have the accident of a sudden closure of the mouth when looking at the tangs and not to let them snap together, becanse that might throw a part of the virus on an abraded or scratched part of one’s hand or, what is worse, into one’s eye. And the very thought of that accident will make the cold Sweat start out of a sensitive person all over him. When it bas been divested of its head for safety against accidental iniection of the virus and skinned, there is no further disgust of the ptile, but rather admiration.

He announced that it would be his last Sunday with his congregation before the fall, as next Sunday he would be with the 13th regiment, of which he is chaplain, at the state camp near Peekskill. Mr. Beecher eonsidered the subject of the church as affected by evolu- tion. He spoke briefly at first of the evolu- Uonists as divided among themselves — the atheistic and theistic parties. Herbert Spencer Mr. Beecher thought one of the ree of the advanced evolution!-t thinkers. Spencer seemed to be passing beyond the winter sol- Stice and reaching forward into the spring and summer. He predicted (nat in time that phil- osopher would becoine one of the ablest defend- ers of the essentials of Caristianity. The German school, on the other hand, seemed to want to destroy everything and look with disdain upon @oy theistic view. Either one mast be a Christian in the twilizht, they said, or a re- nouncer in the sunlight. “Suppose evolution be true,’ “is it zoing to affect the church favorably or was favorably? Favorably, I say.’ The chareh, he said, was an association of men who by inter- course with God and by mutually helping one another were able to lirt taemseives tou higher lite. The chureh undertook to regulate con- duet and character, aud it carried onward the acknowledzed signs of civilization. Nothing else could take the piace of the church in this Tespect. Newspapers were not qualified to take charge of the characterand conductof mankind They had advanced greatly ‘ace their days, bat they bad not reached to. this oint.

The church songht purity in the state and nation, and, finally, its tield was the whole world. One change that revolution would effect, Mr, Beecher thought, was th ven if it did not re- duce wholly the exter: ot the chareh it would place them in ach diferent light in relation to the church. The time was coming when the central element would be spirituality in men. This had not been reached yet, A pure. just and rigut man not adopted into a ehure! was considered an outsider, The time was coming when spiritual echavacter would domi- nate everything else. “When thattime come: said Mr, Beecher, “Ido not expect that Univer- aulist and Unitarian Sunday schools will be ex- eluded from the children’s June parade. [ have a feeling almost of contempt for sueb 1 squabbling. If parents are atraid of the ren being infected with heve<y from marci: with these other little ones they had better keep them at home.” The chureh was experiencing changes_and ameliorations, the preacher continued. There was also a growing tendency to unity. Unex- pectedly the work of spiritual men outside the church was growing Inside. Tue temperanc work, the common feelings for tie suit earthquakes and floods and the coming to- gether in associations to ald such was uniting men. The Protestant at such time found the Catholic was not of hoof and horn, and the Catholic was surprised to find there could by cheerful, benevolent Christian outside his 0 church.” Axeeticism wa: i churches. ‘There were tion of the orth: ‘of hope was cre rt 80 dark as it was.

Hall bitterly attacked the efficiency and integrity of the state ranger force which for years has guarded the frontier.

But there i5 a good deat of exaggeration in the reports ot the gloom resting over the household at china palace und of the seclusion In whieh the Czar and his family are living. The truth is that they bear up wonderfully against the depressing influences surrounding them, and this is toa large extent due to the daunt less spirit and hish courage of the empress, Even those who find fault with everything else willingly declare that she is the heroine at the palace. ‘Their el est son, Grand Duke Nicolaus, now jparentto the throne, is said to be lis mother, bright and lively, very kinds of sport. “George, the second, is the image of his father, and the same is sald of Michael.

THE NOVEL FASHION STARTED BY A PROMI- NENT SOCIETY WIDOW. From’ the Brooklyn Eagle. A prominent society woman here has just started the fashion of having a private hausom, This Is the first result of the hansom craze. The streets are literally alive with hansoms bearing well-dressed, flowerly-decorated and laughing women. The papers have seriously discussed the propriety of driving about in hinsoms, and many of them have decided that the conspicuous position in which a woman is naturally placed in one of the two wheelers should be distasteful and obnoxious to a lady of refinement and a good idea of the proprieties. Nevertheless, ood and proper girls, well: dressed women and mature and highly- respected matrons go rattling about town just *s pleasantly as though no one had ever thought of “finding fault with their sport. ‘Women may generally be trusted in matters of this sort. Their natural instinct keeps them from rushing into harm. At all events, they make the laws themselves, and if they choose to consider it proper to drive about unattended in hansoms, why it is proper, and that’s the end of it. Hansom driving having been established as @ custom, ‘t ts of course followed that some woman would rise superior to her companions, and that woman is a Very handsome and Inde- ndent young widow who has mani to, eep in the best society, despite a number of curious escapades, She’ is more reckless than vicious, and she 1s a beauty of even more than local fame; hence she leads rather than fol- lows the fashion.

What with the ¢rest, the white horse collar and reins, and all the trap- pings, the equipage is one that attracts unusual attention. It is evidently quite satisfactory to dts owner, for any one more placid than she ap- pears when bowling about the streets In her conspleuous vehicle would be hard to find, ————e0——— That Dreadful fired Feeling.

DICK TEN BROECK’S $10,000 CHALLENGE TO TITLED OWNERS OF THOROUGHBREDS IN ENGLAND. From the Louisville Post. The racing world is promised o sensation. Mr. Richard Ten Broeck has issued a challenge to the titled owners of the thoroughbreds in England, in which he offers to wager £2,000 that no English horsecan run four mileg faster than seven minutes and fifteen seconds. Away back In the fifties no name was better known in connection with the American turf than bold Dick Ten Broeck’s, in the first halt ‘of that decade, as the owner of the famous Lexington, whose races at New Orleans against Lacompte and subsequently Nation are famous. In 1856 he took a stable of horses to England, and 1857 won the Cezarewiltch hardicap with Prioress aftera dead heat with two English horses. Since then Mr, Ten Broeck has beey identified with the English turf, His horses have won a good big number of, im- portant races, among which ure the - wood stakes of 1859 ‘and the Goodwood cup In 1861 with Starke. As a match-maker Ten Broeck has been most successful. He won from Sir Joseph Hawley in 1858, from Mr. F. Robinson in 1859, from Lord Glasgow in the same year and from the same nobleman in 1860. “Mr. Ten Broeck now cualienges ail Eng- land to produce a borse or horses that can beat Ten Broeck’s time tor four miles, 72 Mr. Ten Brock refers to the tim heis in error. He says he hes repeated horses run the Rowley mile in 1:38. The Row- ley is’ one mile and seventeen yards, That wonld be equal to 1:37 for_an even mile, or about 6:28 for four miles. But he docs hot think the ish horses can stay at that rate | n: and is willing to wazer £2,000 against one horse, @ sweepstake Of £1,500 if two accept, £1,000 If Uhree accept, £500 if four accept, weizhts to be at the scale of (hree miles, as Uae four-mile scale has been abolished. question arises, wiil this chatlenge be ac- ? The number of horses that probabl; ean run four miles in 7:15 is limited indeed.
