Keene Coming Up Again—John and pli- County Councillor Jane Cobien The Honeymooners' Hotel— Mrs. Crawford's Work. Don't Marry Too Young. There is a diversity of opinion on the subject of youthful marriages. 1t may be a question whether young people know their minds sulficiently well be- fore the age of twenty-two to hazard a final ehoice. Taste changes very much between the ag: i and the y who have it out from a of honor and not from love, because a wider range of choice has shown them, too late, alas! their mistake. The burdens of life are heavy enough to bear without adding this, the sorest of all. Where the husband and the wife really love each other thoy get along well through the vicissitudes of life, be- cause one immeasurable source of hap- piness always remains to them whatever disaster betide, and that is their unfeil- ing sympathy with each other. Noth- ing less than this enables a young couple to endure with equanimity all the cares and anxieties and* disappoint- ments of married life. Nothing is more common than to see two ynunf persons marry with the ap- roval of the iamilies, and all the riends on each side, **What a forwunate match for both of them!” everyone ex- claiming. To outside appearance it i A little time elapses---it may be a few yearsor it may be only one---when, to the surprise of their acquaintances, it is announced that the marriage has turned out unhnppily, The explana- tian is simple--there was no love be- tween them. There was adegree of friendship; there was a mutual expec- tation of ndvantage from the connec- tion; but love there was not. For the ordinary transactions and relations of life respect and friendship ure all that are required. It is not 8o in marriage, Nothing there will supply the place of love. The belief that there are substi- tutes for it is one on which many a ga, and hopeful young couple have trustes their happiness, only to find it a total wreek. Wedding Hings. If marriage isn’t a failure there isn't @ question as to the indifferent regar in which the woedding ring is held, says the Now York World, Even the jow- eler has a semi-contemptuous way of presenting the tray of plain gold bands and a tantalizing preference for dismal tunes, which he hums or whistles softly, but woune tha less sigmificantly, as he makes a note of the initials to be in- seribed, Very young brides wear the yellow band, but” in swell circles young married ladies have the bravado to lay aside the emblem of undying love as 800n a8 the honeymoon 18 over. Among older wives the ring is dis- carded altogether, and if you inguire about it the mat will ealmly tell you it's such an unfasliionable picce of jow- eley to be obliged to woar and as & re- sult the young lady daughters in the family are married with a seal ring.not one of which can be procured for the try #7, the price of the yellow band. meralds, rub?e- and turquoise, set in small but brilliant diamonds, are popu- lar as wedding jewels, and not a fdw of diamonds, circlets of pearls and taire stones by the quart, but the single trio displayed the simpie yellow loop. Grass widows find the band particu- ' obnoxious, and those gay and fes- tive wives who have a few more links of freedom than is wholesome never give it position outside of the jewel casket. At the resorts and in social gatherings, one heavs frequent outbursts, from the young and innocent society men who protest against what vhey consider mis- placement of the only badge that dis- tinguishes a married woman from a spinster. ; an's Heart. ilt for persons in differing circumstances to estimate the cost of personal sacrifices. Only a woman whose glory and crown of glory is her fine hair, can appreciate the heroism of the Cicillian women who allowed them- selves to be shorn like Samson for their country’s good, says a writer in the Philadelphia Press. History tells us that in the olden time the beautiful ity of Palerm suffered from a long and painful siege from the Saracens, Though greatly reduced by famine and distress they still held out undauntedly. At length,to add to their dismay, 1t wis found that the materials for making bow-strings, which constituted their weapons of defense, were exhausted. They were on the point of surrender- ing, finding ‘themseives eutirely un- armed, when u patriotic dame stepped forth and proposed to the brave- hearted women, that they should cut off their beautiful hair and twist it into bow-strings, The proposition was no sooner made than complied with. The heroism of the woman' not only provided avms of defense, but 80 ani- mated the courage of tho besieged by their gallant sacvitice that they re- newed their warfare with such vigor that the assailants were beaten down and the city saved. s There is no sacrifice impossible to woman’s love!l We all remember the tender pathos with which Victor Hugo told the story of Fantine, who, in the mighty strength of mother love, denied herself everything to provide for her cbild Cosette, from whom she was soparated, food and clothing, fire ip winter, light at evening, even the bird that cheered her with its song. At length word came that Cosette wasin sore need of a flannel shirt. All day Kentine crumpled the letter in her hand and at nightfall went to a barber’s stand, had her magnificent hair cut off, and sold it for 10 francs, and smiled, thinking, **My child is no ‘longer cold; I have dressed her in my hair. Later on the cruel custodian of Coserte wrote demanding 40 fraucs, de- claring the child was ill and in need of remedies. Undismayed the poor mother dragged herself to the dendist’s chair and had her exquisite teoth drawn and sold them, saying, thankfully, “*My child will not die, and I am satis- fied,” and going to her garrgt threw her looking-glass from the window and was content, R Cobie ugntor. Miss Jane Cobden, the first woman elected a county councilor in England, is barely thirty-five years old, but her hair is snowy white, ~ The expression of her fuce is vefined and geuntle, and she wears picturesque and becoming cos- genuineness never fail to make an im- pression. She is certain to carry he audience with her. Miss Cobden lives alone in a cozy little house outat Hamp- stead. Two of her married sisters are well known in the artistic world, one as the wife of Mr. Sanderson, barrister and aitistic bookbinder, the other as the wife of Mr. Sickert, one of the clev- erest members of the “‘impressionist’ school. The farm house at Midhurst, Sussex, where Cobden spent his declin- ing vears, still remains in the famil and his political daughter has alw: made use of the connection to keep alive a little spark of lo liberalism in the heart of one of England’s most tory counties. White Women in 1h - Heart of Africa, It is not a little surprising, says the New York Sun, that so many white women are now venturing into the heurt of Africa, hulf-way across the big continent. The Sun r y reported that several female missionar had left England to settle among the dwarf and cannibal tribes of the Balolo coun- try on the Congo tributaries, nearly a thousand miles from the sea. Three other ladies are now following Mr. Ar- not and his wife to the Garenganze country, a little northwest of Lake Bangweolo. They will have to be car- ried in hammocks for hundreds of miles before they reach their future home, which has thus far been visited only by Reichard, Ivens, Arnot and his two assistants. But while 1t is only recently that white women have begun to go to cen- tral Africa with a view to living there, quite a number of ladies braved its fevers anda jungles while explorers were unfolding the mysteries of the Durk Continent. Lady Baker was with her husband when he discovered Al- bert Nyanza. Miss Tinne’s mother in her arms among the swamps of the Bahr el Ghazel, and her poor Dutch mud perished there also, exclaiming, almost with hér last breath, *O, why did I leave our own Holland?” Mrs, Pringle and several other ladies have traveled in canoes for hundreds of miles up the Zambest and Shire rivers to the Alpine district of Lake Nyassa. Mrs. Hore, who lived for some years on an island in Lake Tanganvika, is the only white woman who has yet seen that re- markable sheet of water. Mrs. Holup has seen the thorniest side of African travel, for she was with her husband when he was robbed of all his belong- ings, and together they wandered for wooks, almost dead from hunger and fatiguo, before they reached a place of safety. Mrs. Livingstone died while traveling with her husband pon his sec- oud grent journey. White women have certainly had their full share of the hardships and sufferings of pio- neer work in Afric The Honeymooners' Hotel. Iam awaiting, says a writer in the London Figaro, further rticulars of that Honeymooners’' hotel which, ac- cording 10 a circumstantial correspond- ent, is to be built on the South Devon- shire coast for the special, and, if possi- ble, sole use of newly-married couples on their wedding trips, That the sur- roundings of the establishment are to be made as idyllic and fairylike as pos- sible need scarcely be said.

Young Philip Ray Hamilton, it seems, 18 A VERY BLACK SHEEP and this is the more to be regretted be- cause of his very creditable record in olitics as well as on aceount of his ashionable social standing. It seems incredible that a mun of his position should knowingly have married a dis- reputable woman, and it is even stranger that he prefers to ideutify himself with her cause ) after her true character anfl career have been published to the world and she has added murder to her other crimes. Notwithstanding the neglect and de- cay about General Grant’s tomb, there is no likelinood that his remains will be removed from their present resting place, The Grant family will not allow it. They like New York. Besides it is queer to hear Washington talk about erecting u fitting monument to Grant. It took that city half a century to com- plete one to Waghington, though every civilized state and kingdom contributed memorial stones. It was that wild wag John Phoenix, who once remarked that there was a monument at the national capital & monument intended to forever perpetuate the memory of Washington, and as it would probably be forever in building, the object was certain to be accomplished. There 1s a story down in Wall street to the effect that John R. Keene is ope- rating very largely in the market, and ehiefly in the interest of the Havemey- ers and the people identified with the sugar trust, The story is that Keene has been engaged to engineer various deals on the street affecting sugar trust certificates, Keene operates through the office of Sumuel W. Babeock & Co,, situated in the building at No. 80 Broad street, and oscillates between the bro- ker's office and J. S. Moore’s room on the third floor, Keene owes something like $2,000,000 on the street, and natur- ally when rumors concerning his mak- ing money are circulated his creditors pecome immediately and very eagerly interested. ; -Muny would welcome a decision that on with it cannot be much longer delayed.

In vain the languishing .o FPec has written him to return, Ah Chung knows that if he goes back to China he cannot come back here, and his ‘“boodle” is yet 0o small to keep a wife in style. Finally the bride got angry and wrote to her uncle to make it hot for Ah Chung, which he proceeded to do, verbally. But the latter young man is not easily scared, and cooly told the uncle that his betrothed had better suit herself with a husband at home. as on the whole he thought American girls pret- i an Mongolians and intended to and settle down in the United The fact is that Chinamen who visited their old home and re- turned have brought such terrible ac counts of the dullness of povert, stricken life in China that the wide- awake Celestials colonized here have mainly concluded that Tennyson was right about his “Cycle of Cathay,” aud it will suffice to send their bones home. - Our handsome young mayor is in a state of mind, Politically he is nt fled with the short-haired ) and opposed to silk stocic sociully he aspires torecognition Four Hundred, and th.s demands tu: he shall in turn recognize thom.

KIMBALL, The Use o racn ¢ by Wol A well-known druggist makes the statement, says the Philadelphia Reo- ord, that flypaper is largely used in England by women for the purnose to which Mrs. Maybrick devoted it. Soak- ing the paper in water will extract the arsenic from the sheet and transfer the poison to the liquid. Tt is then applied to the skin or drank in minute doses ' with the result which is so apparent in Mrs. Maybrick’s appearanc: Like the opium habit, arsenio eating ows upon the victim, and its work is but sure. Arsenic is used for nting purposes, too, by large num- s of working girls who toil in the mills and factories. They have not yet learned the art of eating the drug, and employ it in a orude fashion by dissolv= ing the substance in water and applyin it ip lotion-like form to the face an hands. Its baneful cffects are not 80 quickly apparent as ave those of arsenio eating, but sconer or later the foolish victims of the poisonous drug contract an appetite for it, and their death is bug a matter of months, It is not possible to estimate the num-~ ber of deaths among women for which the use of arsenic is responsible, owing 10 their sec y in using the drug.
