Douglas is no- lated by His Friend Judge X. “‘I shall never forget sitting up all night at that cottage in the grove where Douglass lived, and near the site of which now rises his monument. He had just returned from his foreign tour, and for hours he told of his ad- ventures. One story of a London land- lady amused him especially. Her ho- tel had been recommended to him for comfort and quiet, so he went there, travel-stained and unattended, order- ing his baggage to follow. The land- lady, a barrel-shaped and rigid—minded Englishwoman, took his measure and showed him rather meagre rooms. “Have you anything better. madam?” he asked. The next were but little bet- ter, and ‘the next. At last Douglass demanded the best she had, and the woman confessed to certain rooms on the first floor, which were usually oc- cupied by members of the nobility. Re- luctantly she led her questionable ' guest to a cheerful suite overlookng parks and gardens, and there Doug- lass installed himself and sat down to write and smoke. “Soon a lackey, observing him from the hall, entered to tell him that smok- ing was not permitted in those apart- ments. The Senator, detecting imper- tinence in the man’s manner, smoked on. Another came, and still he smoked. Then the stout little landlady appeared with all her feathers flying and began to lay down the law. “This time Douglass rose and faced the intruder. Summoning all that grandeur of manner which had cap- tured audiences and quieted conven- tions, he bowed profoundly and said, with resonant voice and solemn pauses: ‘Madam, perhaps you do not know who I am?” “The lady confessed her ignorance. “ ‘Madam,’ said Douglass—and no one could do it better—‘1 am an Amer- tcan sovereign.” ‘The round little lady courtesied and backed out of the room. And when Sir Robert Peel called the next day and carriages of lords and notables blocked the way, she decided that she was harboring a sovereign indeed, and there were not lackeys enough under her roof to do him honor.”-—Chicago Times‘Herald. BREATHLESS SEVEN. ’ MINUTES. An Interesting Exhibition of Four Am- phibians in Central Park. Seven minutes is a long time for an air breathing animal to hold his head under water, but that it what Caliph did yesterday. Caliph—recently a happy father—~is the larger of the hip- popotami now in the Central Park Museum, New York. To determine how long these river horses may remain under water, I timed them for nearly an hour, and gained some interesting information. There were four of the animals timed, ranging in size from the animated tons of Caliph, down through Mrs. Murphy and Fatima to baby Iris. The ticking seconds showed two minutes to be the average that they held their heads under water, and frequently the breathing nostrils would appear in the air at shorter intervals. Again, three or four minutes would elapse while one of the homely heads was under water. -Even little Iris was once out of sight for three minutes and forty seconds. When she reappeared, it seemed as though a broad grin of sat- isfaction was on her face. Fatima frequently held her breath for three minutes, and once Mrs. Murphy en- joyed a submersion of exactly four minutes. But Caliph took the first prize for a long submergence. For nearlyan hour his time varied from thirty seconds to nearly four minutes. Then, with a breath and a switch of his diminutive tail, he sank, leaving only about ten square feet of his rounding back in sight, which looked like a portion of a huge, partially submerged granite bowlder. One, two, three, four min- utes passed. His record for that day was broken. Five, six minutes went, and not even his ears appeared. Then seven minutes and one second. Up he came for a fresh supply of oxygen. He had done his best. Bernliardt’s Niece a. Mllliner. In Paris one often hears of a millin- er’s girl being stage-struck. But it is very rare indeed to learn of an actress who has spent several years on the boards abandoning them all of a sud- den in order to become a milliner. Yet such is the case to-day with an actress who has the honor of bearing the most celebrated name. in the annals of the drama. Mlle. Saryta Bernhardt, a young and handsome blonde, the only niece of the illustrious Sarah Bernhardt and daugh- ter of Sarah’s only sister, who until quite recently was a member of the grande tragedienne’s Renaissance troupe, where she played parts of me- dium importance to the satisfaction of both critics and public, is about to abandon the boards and direct her at- tention to making stylish bonnets, ca- potes and toques in addition to hats Of extraordinary dimensions. Mlle. Sary- ta, as she is generally called, has ever had a penchant for the profession of the modiste, for the art of the modiste, as some persons call it, and if she quits the. realm of the drama she intends to remain an artist. _ She is aware of her inability to equal her illustrious aunt on, the stage and therefore prefers another vocation, al- though not‘ admitting that she has failed in the profession—New York Journal.

IrrrANtr AlSD LINCOLN. THE FIRST INTERVIEW BETWEEN SOLDIER AND STATESMAN. General Horace Porter’s Story of the His- .toric Occurrence—Lincoln’s Frank Con- fession of His Ignorance of All Things lillitary, On the evening of March 8 the Pres- ident and Mrs. Lincoln gave a public reception at the White House, which I attended. The President stood in the usual reception room, known as the Blue Room, with several Cabinet ofl‘i‘ cers near him, and shook hands cor- dially with everybody, as the vast pro- cession of men and women passed in front of him. At about 9:30 o’clock a sudden commotion near the entrance to the rOom attracted general atten- tion, and upon looking in that direc- tion, I was surprised to see General Grant walking along modestly with the rest of the crOwd toward Mr. Lin- coln. He had arrived from the West that evening, and had come to the White House to pay his respects to the President. He had been in Washing- ton but once before, when he visited it for a. day soon after he had left ,West Point. Although these two his- torical characters had never met be« fore, Mr. Lincoln recognized the Gen- eral at once from the pictures he had seen of him. With a face radiant with delight, he advanced two or three steps toward his distinguished visitor, and cried out: “Why, here is General Grant! Well, this is a great pleasure, I assure you,” at the same time seiz- ing him by the hand and shaking it for several minutes with a vigor which showed the extreme cordiality of the welcome. The state-man and the soldier con- versed for a few minutes, and then the President presented his distin- guished guest to Mr. Seward. The Secretary of State was very demon- strative. in his welcome, and after ex- changing a few words led the General to where Mrs. Lincoln was standing, and presented him to her. Mrs. Lin- coln expressed much surprise and pleasure at the meeting, and she and the General chatted together very pleasantly for some minutes. The visitors had by this time become so cut rious to catch a sight of the General that their eagerness knew no bounds, and they became altogether unman- ageable. Mr. Seward’s consummate knowledge of the wiles of diplomacy now came to the rescue and saved the situation. He succeeded in struggling through the crowd with the General until they reached the large East Room, where the people could circulate more freely. This, however, was only a temporary relief. The people by this time had worked themselves up to a state of uncontrollable excitement. The vast throng surged and swayed and crowded until alarm was felt for the safety of the ladies. Cries now arose of “Grant! Grant! Grant!” Then came cheer after cheer. Seward, after some persuasion, induced the General to stand upon a sofa, thinking the visi- tors would be satisfied with a view of him and retire; but as soon as they caught sight of him their shouts were renewed, and a rush was made to shake his hand. ’The President sent word that he and the Secretary of lVar would await the General’s return in one of the small drawing rooms, but it was fully an hour before he was able to make his way there, and then only with the aid of several officers and ushers. The story has been circulated that at the conference which then took place, or at the interview the next day, the President and the Secretary of lVar urged General Grant to make his campaign toward Richmond by the ' overland route, and finally persuaded him to do so, although he had set forth the superior advantages of the water route. There is not the slightest foun- dation for this rumor. General Grant some time after repeated to members of his staff just what had taken place, and no reference whatever was made to the choice of these two routes.— Century Magazine.

Some one had referred to him as Victor Hugo when he made his ap- " pearance (as an operator in our tele- graph office in Boston), and it was by that name that we generally spoke of him. Every device was employed to thwart his soarings after the infinite and his divings for the unfathomable, as we regarded them, and to get an amount of work out of him that was equivalent to the sum paid per diem for his services, and among them was that of having him receive ‘the press report from New York. .He did not. like this, the work continuing steadily from 6:30 p. m. until 2' a. m., and leav- ing him no time in which to pursue his studies. One night about 8 p. In. there came down an inquiry as to where the press report was, and, on going to the desk where Edison was at work, Night Manager Leighton was horrified to find that there was nothing ready to go upstairs, for the reason that Edi- son had copied between 1,500 and 2,- 000 words of stock and other market reports in a hand so small that he had only filled a third of a page. _ Leighton laughed in spite of himself, and saying: “Heaven's, Tom; donit do that again!” hastened to cut the copy up into minute fragments and have it prepared in a more acceptable manner. ..- While this was occurring Edison went on receiving, and the frequent- trips of the noisy dummy box, which communicated with the pressrooms on the next floor, gave evidence that he was no longer gauging his handwrit- ing with an ultimate view to putting the Lord’s prayer on a three-cent piece. But all at once there was a great -.noise, and it was evident that Press Agent TVallace, a most profane man, was coming down stairs, swearing and shouting as he came. Everybody grew excited except Edison, who was perhaps dreaming of the possibilities in some of the realms of electrical en- deavor in which he has sin-3e won re- nown. . But we did\ not have long to wait to know the cause Of \Vallace’s visit. Kicking open the door, he appeared to us, but he was speechless. The last note of his voice and the last remnant of avocabulary of blasphemy which was famous throughout the city was gone. Standing there with both hands full of small, white pages of paper, he could only beckon. Leighton ap- proached him, and tenderly took the sheets of paper from him, to find that Edison had made the radical change from his first style of copy to simply putting one word on each sheet, di- rectly in the centre. He had furnished in this way several hundred pages in a very few minutes. He wasrelieved from duty on the press wire, and put on another circuit, while the much-tried Leighton devoted himself to bringing W'allace back to a normal condition, admitting of the use of his voice and the flow of his usual output of profanity—Electrical Re- view. ' DIED TO ESCAPE DISHONOR. Armenian \Vomen Prefer Death to Falling into the Hands of the Turk. Private letters received by a lady from two English friends who have been traveling in Armenia give a sad account of the general desolation. Writing from a large town in the in- terior, they say: “We find things in a terrible state here. The distress ois dreadful. They say there is not a Christian in the place who has not lost some near rela- tive, husband or father or brother or wife, while the sufferings of the poor abducted women and girls is beyond words. “Many of these helpless and needy women were once wealthy ladies who had their own servants, and lived in every (Eastern) comfort. Now, with husbands and sons killed and their homes entirelypillaged what can they do? “Then there are the maimed and sick. One poor young woman was brought for me to see, bothqpf whose hands had been literally cut to pieces while endeavoring to save her head, which was also wounded; her husband was killed at the same time, and she, after his death and her own mutila- tion, bore twins, but, from being una- ble to nurse them, the babies, of course, died. Three thousand were massacred here at once, and all the Christian shops and numbers of houses burned. “Only a short distance from this city thirty-two women, headed by a noble and ‘very intelligent woman, well known to the missionaries, threw themselves into the river to escape dis- h.;.o.', and more than one father played the part of Virginius, and. killed his daughter outright.” Faithful to His Lost Master.
