Show LADIES' CORNER. A woman in Alexandria, Ya., on j her way to a fashionable party, at- J tired in deeollette costume was arrested for being out before dark. The late Amelia Ii. Kdwards was a precocious author. Her first story was written when she was only four years old, and executed in capital letters exclusively. The wife of a settler near Melbourne Mel-bourne was recently bitten on the linger by a snake. To prevent the poison entering her system she placed her finger on a block and asked her husband to cut it oil', which he did with an ax. Much regret is expressed thai the I'rincess of Wales continues inconsolable for the loss of her favorite son. Physically the Princess Prin-cess is much changed, and. indeed, since Albert Victor's death she seems to be oblivious of everything. That finonmly, ft woman hermit, may be found in Cllynn county, (ia., in the person of iMiss Ann Piper, who has spoken to but three persons in the past sixteen years. Although she lives within two miles of a railroad she has never seen the train. Gen. J. Vi. (iordon, president of the United Confederate Yetenms, has appointed a committee of nineteen, nine-teen, one for each of the Southern states, to present a memorial and petition the legislature of each of these slates, asking them lo vole a life pension to the widow of .Teller-son .Teller-son Davis. Babies will be checked at the World's Fair just the same as any necessary incumbrance. A matron will be in the nursery and the little ones will receive better care than can be given by their parents in the surge of humanity. The proud papas and mamas can, by paying a reasonable sum, curry all day a brass check which will entitle enti-tle them to their darling in the evening. This is a novel idea and a sensible one. The Empress of Russia has been in some trouble to purchase a unique present for the golden wedding wed-ding of her mother, the Queen of Denmark. The present consists of a team of six horses, perfectly white and of the rarest breed. In order to get the six imperial steeds, all Russia had to be searched, and the present, which has just left St. Petersburg, is one of tbe most costly and beautiful of the many which will be sent to Fredeneburg. |
