Whitney, Miss Pauline Whitney, is en- gaged to marry Almeric “Hugh Paget, who belongs to the famous English fam- ily of Pagets, and whose home is in St. Paul, Minn., where he has "made a. great deal of money. Mr. Whitney has always held a fore- most placein the publiceye. His wife was a recognized leader in society. She brought her husband many millions, February, 1893. For many months she knew that she must die, but by pure force of will she attended to social func- tions in order that she might properly introduce in the fashionable world her elder daughter,who is now to marry Mr. Paget. , Miss Pauline Whitney has never de- voted much time, to society. Her moth— er’s death and her own ill health have prevented. She is about 20 years old and has a fine dark face and great cha rm of manner. She is one of the most at- tractive young women whom New York society has known. She and her father have been constant companions. She ‘ went to school at Dobbs,Ferry when she was fourteen. She was a very close student. Much ancestral glory surrounds the family of Paget. The founder of the family was knighted by Henry VIII., who gave him the title of Lord Paget and the Order of the Garter for servi- ces as Secretary of State. MISS WHITNEY. From that time to this the name of know how. - mind to learn. He Went to St. Paul and silk has a‘deep shirred double . -value. Paget has been’a great one. In the mid- dle of the last century there was no male heir and the name might have become mitted a son of Lady Bayleg, who was heiress to the estates and a Paget by birth, to assume the name and arms of his mother’s family. He was summoned to the House of Lords as the ninth Lord Paget. Those who know the Whitneys are sure that the distinction of family or the family estate, consisting of 60,000 acres, or the fine country seats of Baudesert and Plas—Newydd had but little influence with them. They think much more of the young man’s personality and achieve- ments. _ In the first place he is a remarkably fine looking man. He is tall, slender and active. He has a black mustache and the most charmingifimanners. Men par- ticularly admire him. When he was old enough to under- stand things he came to the conclusion that the family estate was not big enough to go around so large a family and that a younger sonxhadn’t much opportunity in England. Almeric Paget was only 16 when he came to this country. He went to the far West immediately and worked on a ranch—worked hard and honestly, learned things and made, himself liked. ' When a young Englishman belonging to. a. very celebrated family makes up his mind to make money he usually doesn’t Young Paget made up his engaged in the real estate business. Now there wasa time when anybody could make money in real estate in St. Paul. But the men who kept the money they made in the boom are so few as to be greatly distinguished. Mr. Paget was one of the exceptions. - This proves him to be a man of rare ability and judgment. He discovered that his English connections Were of He went to London and inter- ested rich people in the making of in- vestments. . He handled the money so well and obtained such large returns for it that he was made the representative of a. large English company. He is only 30 years old, and his own efforts have made him a. comfortably rich man. He is an adopted American of the very best ‘ kind and intends to continue to live in this country. Drawing the Line. She had fidgeted in her chair for a. good hour, until she could stand it no longer. Said she in accents which told how she'had suffered: “George McStayer, you are not indif- ferent to me; I will be your wife if you will only ask me, and if you don’t want me, say so. But there is one thing you must understand, once for all, this isnot a continudus performance house.” é—Boston Transcript. §~~ u- ‘___,.~ More Frequent.

She got off the Indiana. train with a. big bundle that she could hardly man- age, and as I had nothing to do I took pity on her and ofiered to carry it to the ferry dock, in which direction she seem- ed to be going. She acquiesced, and we went to the dock. On arriving she took out her purse and handed ”me a dime, with the remark that it was not much of a walk, but she thought it was worth a dime. I vices would be free, at which she asked me what I carried her bundle for if not for pay. ‘ “Oh, I‘thought to do you a favor,” I replied. . “Tain’t natural, ’tall,” she replied. ‘FWell,-I can’t take your money,” said She studied a minute and then said: ‘_‘I can’tjmake out whether you intend to pick my pocket or steal my bundle. Young feller, you’d better stop your bad ways or you’ll go the bad place.” “I’ll do it,” I replied. “That’s right.” she said, “do it, and when you come over to Indiana you jest inquire for Mrs. Jones, and I’ll'give you a good dinner. If I ever hear of you getting hung, I’ll tell folks that you had a good streak in you anyhow.”—Louis« ville Post. No. RELATION, ONLY HER HUSBAND.

She‘s ma wife, dat’s wat she is.” “Well,” said the magistrate, “what were you two fighting about?” “Well, yo honoh,” said Harris, “I’ll tell yo how it wuz.

Only four persons saw it, but it was a sight those four will not forget while life lasts. Not more than a fortnight ago a woman from Georgetown came over to visit one who lives in an enormously tall apartment house. She brought her little three~year-old son with her. It was a hot day and the two women with the boy went up to the roof garden. Something distracted the that moment the baby had clambered to a chair, thence to a rustic table, and as the mother turned was just walking along the parapet’s edge. , A divine IF THE SOUTH HAD WON. An Observer Who Thinks it ‘Vould Ila." Soon Discarded Slavery. ' Here we are, on the border of threl States,with Catlettsburg, Ky., a mile tc the west, and Scranton, 0., just 0V6] the Ohio River. We have just come over the mountains and are resting a few hours between trains'in a larger and finer depot than Richmond’s, al- though this is only a crossing. Just at this point, before crossing over into my native Buckeye State, it is good to stop and moralize a bit, and the wail is long enough at‘least for that. We have traversed some of the loveliest country in the Eastern States; not bold, bald crags and bluffs as in the Rockies, but hills Verdure—crowned to the sum4 mits; tall, rolling slopes teat rise gently, not confused now with precipi- tous haste. We have trailed alongside the New River for sixty miles, until it debauches into the Great Kanawha, and _ marveled at the great boulders, some as large as a house, that impede its course —-great giants’ playthings, perhaps. This all may not all be so wild and rugged as the B. & 0. Railroad can Show along its line, where the Cheat River flows, and one can look downward from, the flying train half a mile into the, charming valley, but it is more restful, and the road“ is better bal- lasted. Not a suspicion of rocking and rolling of the train and consequent sea.- sickness here on the C. & 0., as on its sister system'over the mountains. But in the midst of all this natural beauty and bounty we have seen only miserable huts, board shanties, not a decent town, not a ray of civilization or progress having penetrated these pre- cinCts. It has been more or less so all the way through Virginia, and notably West Virginia, whose only decent town, so far, has been its capital city. My wife turns to a lady in the depot and frankly asks how they manage to live here. “Oh, somehow we get along and make a living. We buy most every— thing we eat in Ohio.” What is the reason there is so much difference between these and the north- ern States? Simply because this is "Secessia,” and it has been left with the dregs of the war on it to curse and defile it. Here is found the aftermath of thefllate war. Here slavery, of course, ceasé‘df‘aiid the world came» stand- still in consequence—at least so far as this “neck of the woods” is concerned. It is the Panhandle of the South; but the whole “skillet” is made of the same metal. ' What if the Confederacy had suc- ceeded. Iam not waving the ”bloody shirt,” mind you, but only guessing, as all good Yankees can and should do. The whole South (or “Soath,” as they call it) would have been better and brighter—and it is really half the coun- try, in numbers if not in area. But Providence kept both women from startling him by a scream. He ran . along the edge of the sickening height . laughing and waving his hands. No. body knows how long it was. It seemed a lifetime. The mother dared not approach, for at every movement on her part the venturesome little midget ran away and called her to catch him. He would not be coaxed to come down, but finally he yielded to a bribe and I climbed down. And did the mother faint? Well, no, she didn’t. Her hair I didn’t turn white, either. She simply took the little boy into her arms with- I out’a'word. She held him close to her for a long time, and then—well, she turned him over her knee and spanked him.—4V‘.7ashington Post. An Important Question. ' “You seem thoughtful, Henry,” said ' Mr. Meekt'on’s better half. “Yes, an idea just struck me.” “What was it?” “I was wondering whether, by next season, the new woman will be gentle- manly enough to take her hat off in the theater.”——Washington Star.

We think not, for. slav- ery would have been “‘done awaywith” by natural and rational causes by this time, without doubt. It would have evolved itself, perhaps, into a better ' condition, at-least for the ex-slaves and their progeny. without such sudden change and rupture. Whether slavery was discontinued by war or by natural causes, it is safe to say that we would have been by this time sufliciently en- lightened not to return to it. It is also f safe to say that the great majority of the voters, both black and white, in the South, or white voters alone (and they govern in the South still, in spite of numbers), would not return to slavery. Existing conditions seem to suit all classes now, and there is not such a rad- ical difference as one not on the ground would suppose. The blacks still work ' for and serve the whites, and on such wages as make independence impracti- cable, and slavery, except for the senti- ment of it, almost a welcome alterna- tive. That nine-tenths of the labor of the South is performed by blacks is not a rash statement—meaning menial labor. If the South had prevailed, andanew republic had been set up, the dividing line would perhaps be this panhandle of Virginia, extended to Canada, and” an- other division at the Mississippi River later on, for the fabric would not have been strong enough. instituted by the minority, to have long remained intact. Aaron Burr’s scheme of disruption, early in the century, would have.be. come a reality. The Southern people would not have retained slavery long. They were not wholly Wedded to it. Few Southern people Were slaveholders. They were a handful, like the Irish landlords or the Mormon polygamists. .Many of the Southern people were opposed to it. Beside, there were forces at work among the negroes themselves that would have helped them along. Slavery would have been gradually dethroned and a more united sentiment between North and South would exist today—Correspond- ence Hartford Courant. Solomon and the Fool.
