Wl H lii us I hud been In the most conservative, circles, it was the step-ping into a new world to utteml a l.n.I.tK DF.VKRICfX BI.AKR. convention where tho advocAtes of tho cause assoiubled, and the figures of thoso I first saw there loom up in memory with something of tho majestic prosir-tiou-s with which tho heroes of the Revo-lutionary war must huvenpiieured to tho young men who xvi ro hoys during that struggle. Foremost among tho iinpressivo per-sonalities that wore even then near pass-ing away was Lueretia Mott. She was already touched with tho fragility of ad-vanced age, but something of thn graeo and beauty of her earlier years still hung ubout her. No mora heroin character ever adorned the pages of history than that of this sweet Philadelphia (Quaker-ess. Hho was endowod with a native trift of eloipience, gentle, yet forcible and persuasive, which sho early learned to use, because hIio belonged to a sect that permitted women to speak in prtV lie if moved thereto "by tho Hpirit." - She was married in ber lovely youth to .Tables Mott, a "Friend," like her-self, who was her devoted husband for moro than bulf a century. Iu duo time a group of children surrounded her, but while never neglecting any of her dutiiM as wife, mother mid house-keepe- r, she continued her public preach-ing, her fame constantly spreading, as sho siMjko not only on "tho Sab-bath," but also at many reform meet-ings. Tho anti-slaver- y agitation early touched ber ardent spirit, mid she de-voted much of her energies to tho cause .of freeing the slavosi, aiding in holding meetings and conventions, and enforcing her views, not only in stirring speeches, but also.iu practical acts. Sho wan an ardent lover of freedom in all directions; ber favorite) motto was "Truth for authority, not authority for truth." Lueretia Mott was one of the earliest advocates of "Woman's Eights," as the agitation was then called. Hho was present at the Koneca Fall convention of where tho demand for woman suffrago was first publicly made. Sho did not then go so far n to think women should have tho right to vote, and when Elizabeth (VI y Stanton put forth the revolutionary idea, Lncretiasaid: "Eliza-beth, does thee thiuk then is right?" with much questioning earnestm-- . Gradu-ally she beeume coTiverb d to see that this was the only real guarunteo of free-dom, and was thereafter ono of tho most earnest champions of the cause. An her children grew to maturity, no longer newling ber constant cam, sho was nbio to lcr.VB her homo moru fre-quently to sjieuk for the reform dear to her heart. As a pnniding officer she wan also greatly (rifted, combining dig-nity with raro tact in ruling an audience. Her personal power wa very gnat. On one occasion when a disorderly mob waa howlim; nt the door of an Equal Bights meeting in New York, and some of the women speakers wcro afraid to leave th--j hall, Lucret:-- i Mott. a tiny woman, but with tii soul of a lion, ; slepn'lUildly forth.

J;my charming and valuable bits of chinas wero purchased last suuuiuvr by Mrs. Edison whilo abroad. The funiitnrd is of crimson satii , with rich doina&k hangings at doorj and windows. Tha beauty of tho drawing room is the corner where the piano stands, with a dainty little figure iu white mnrblo near by; just ovir it hangs a painting of Capri, ono of tha really good paintings iu t ho hov.--- c. The piano is a beauty in rosewood, with much ornamentation. The dining hail is a stately room on the north side, of the house; hero are the conventional oak w;iiuscotting and high oak mantel; the furniture is also oak, tho chairs being upholstered in dark green velvet: tho oak floor is nearly cov-ered with u Persian ruif. Mrs. Edison's sitting room on tho second floor is such a charming room with its low, luxurious divan piled high with cushions, ita easy chairs, pretty work tablo and writing desk that it is no wonder the family call it the pleasantoat room in tho house. Livingstou. SUlen Island, is famous in two ways: hero are tha cricket gronnd: and hero lives' th genius of Harper's "Easy Chair," Mr. George Will-iam (Xirti. Wmmm THE OLD KEARNY HOME. owned by a member of the family who lives abroad. It is generally spoken of as tho Dgden house, as it' has been occupied by the Ogden family for over a (punter of a century. The upright part of the house, with tho wing at the left of tho entrance, is a rather recent addition. The old Dutch door is just as it was made years ago, when a street door was so constructed that Mem Herr could open ono half and take his ease leaning upon the other. In the interior there have been few changes; there aro tho wide, old fashioned fire-places, with fender and andirons, in every room, with tho high white man-tels characteristic of colonial architect-ure. Gen. Kearny's father owned much property in the neighborhood, and the THE EDISON WMNU RtlOM. At the corner of Bard and Henderson avenues, about ten minutes' walk from the station, is tho dwelling which Mr. Curtis has occupied for over twenty-fiv- e years. Tho house was lmilt lieforo the Quiin Anno epidemic in arehirectum had gotten abroad, and is an unpreten-tious fratno building with a low, broad veranda in front overlooking a lawn that is absolutely as perfect ns a lawn very well can le. As you take in tho house with its sur-roundings you think for tho moment that you art) looking at a bit of English scenery, everything is so trim and com-plete. Thero is a high trbor vitio hedge about two sides of tho place, many evergreen trees carefully pruned and trimmed, with a brook pursuing tho even tenor of its way through one iart of the lawn,, and . evury inch of ground occupied in bring either useful or orna-mental. Mr. Bonner's estite adjoins Mr. Curtis' place on one side, ind that of his 8 DRAWING ROOM, KEARNY MANSION. grounds surrounding tie place were for-merly quite extensive, sloping on one side down to the Passaic river. A long lane led from the house to tho entrance gate at the foot of the hill. If you visit Nowark, a perfect stranger, and inquire tho way to tho Kearny house, tho native directs you ut onco to tho "mansion" or tho "castle," as he calls it. This is a place vastly more im-portant to his thinking than tho little, low brown house on the other side of the Passaic. Tho "mansion," as the name by which it is commonly known would suggest, is an imposing structure of brick and brown Btone, with its ivy grown tower, jts bay windows, broad veranda and walled terrace. It was built by Gen. Kearny after his mar-riage. This house is owned by tho gener-al's son, Mr. John Watts Kearny, who has lived hero with his family for the past six years.

Mr. Curtis is a great pedestrian, taking long walks about fcStaton Island, nearly the wholo of which ho has traversed at one time and another. Mr. Curtis' IStat-e- n Island farm is whero ho spends the winter; in summer the family go to their other homo at Ashfield, Mass. Thero ho has a much larger house and a vast num-lie- r of books. His library at Btaten Isl-and is a goodly sized ono, tho walls cf his study being lined with bookcases reaching half way up to the ceiling. Drawn up to t!:o desk where Mr. Curtis does most of his writing ia an eay chair and near by a comfortable lounge. Comfort and convenience rather than elegance are the characteristics of t hn place. In the study are some interesting souvenirs a photograph of Thackeray which ho gave Mr. Curtis, the firet of the "Sketch Book" and one of Brvanfs first volumes. Mr. Curtis upends one day in the week at the Harp-er building in'New York, bnt the place is too noisy and too crowded for him. He prefers to do bin work nt hia own home. Fkakces il. Smith. THOMAS A.

When tho house happens, to belong to the Chevalier Edison, grand cross of the legion of honor and wizard of Llewellyn park, Orange, it is of interest becauso.be lives in it and also for the reason that it is quite a castle in itself. "Glenmont," it is calledand, as tho photograf h shows, it is a handsome, residence of imposing apiiearance. Th6 lower s'.ory of the house is of brick, the remaining part of wood. Ono thing struck me as particu-larly novel about the plaoe and that was its six towering chimneys, only two of which show in tho picture.

Ho brought it out on ull occa-sions. One day he leveled his finger to-ward the Democrats across the aisle, and happened to point directly toward the late Sam Cox peace to his ashes. Cox jumped from Ins saut as if he had been shot and dropped under his desk, crying out as he did so: "Don't do that ! Don't do that it Might go off!" This sally was met with roars of laughter, in which Uncle Joe heartily joined. But it cured him. Yes, sir, it cured him of pointing. He at once went to work evolving his present system, iu which years of prac-tice have made liim perfect. He never dared resume pointing till after poor Sam Cox was devid and buried." By this time Mr. Cannon has tired of prancing about in tho aisle, menacing bis enemies. Much of his energy has been expended in rV"!1 mauling rails, M ' driving spikes, Eiifa3fZs cartwheeling bis iwPYt finger, and in im- - ifOfeyA itating the wind- - , LA .A mill with his long 7 arms.

Not man would over and m - him, nor "There's the record: read will any rise in it for yourselves.." his place and con-fess himself in. the wrong. Whereupon the orator's mood changes once more, as the sky in the west changes at the ap-proach of a funnel shaped cloud. He warns the opposition of the consequences of their jierversity, their folly, which he declares will "never, never do," and in his eamness to impress this upon their minds' shakes his head till the stranger in the gallery becomes alarmed at tho prospect of beholding a suicide by de-- w I lidtiun of the storm .that is to come. 1 1; for his curling lip and flashing eyo !e 1 1 stranger in the gallery might be mis- - II into supposing this another dull and - I l'nsy BP8aer nt worth hearing on a t 1 1 summer day.

The wicked foe staring blankly at Mr. Cannon or smiling incredulously as if doubting their own sins, tho orator rushes to his desk, picks up a book and raises it where all may see.

Then Mr. Cannon sits down, the coolest man in the honse, and there is applause on the floor and in the gal-leries. Walter Wellmas. waggish member once sent round to 'rf Cannon's desk to pick up that gen-man- 's lost finger.
