Last evening, during a crowded perform ance of 1 at Rooney's groat comedy, "Tho Scared Dog," a lady in the upper lolt hand proscenium box was hoard to laugh im moderately. and then turn purple. She was taken to lior home, where it was found she had laughed so heartily that sho had swallowed the plaster ceiling of her mouth, together with nino front teeth. On remov ing tho vitals this morning the teeth and French roof of the lady's mouth woro found hung upon tho walls of her stomach. She has since died. Hundreds of mon who never wont to tho theater here before aro engaging seats for 'their wives to-night. Ella W. N. T.. tho poem you alluded to closes with the following stanza: I used to dream in all these yoars, Of patient fa th and flilout tears, That love's strung hand would put aside The barriers of place and pride- Would reach tlio pathless darkness through, And draw mo softly up to you. But that Is past—if you Hliould stray Beside my grave, some future day, l'erchanco the violets o'er niv dust Would half betray tlioir buried triftt, And way. their blue eyes full of dew, bhe loved you bettor than you know. It is a real good piece. I think, and you will find all or it in Current Literature lor August. The author is unknown. Tooley Mucky HI. an intelligent China man of Molt street, writes to ask if Oiiver Doud Byron was tho author of "The Pris oner of Chillon." , t . lie was not, Tooley. but ho was tho au thor of a good thing, and which appeared in London, it was at tho time when tho magnificent bust of Longfellow was placed in V est minster Abbey. Mr. Byron, on the Fourth of July, desiring to honor his country and liis country's poet, placed a beautiful wreath at tlio foot of the bust und a card which read: : Presented with tho love and patriot- : ; ism of a devout admirer and true ; American by : OLIVER DOUD BYRON, : Later on. Louis Harrison visited West mistor Abbey and contributed to tho card, so that when Mr. Byron came in on tho following day to show his friends what ho had dono for the groat poet, they saw tho following inscription: ; Presented with the iove aiid pa- ; ; triotisin of u devout admirer and : : true American by OLIVER DOUD * ; BRYON, wlio-openH in Roches- • ; tor, N.

Laura McCusick writes to know who was tho author of "An Autumn Vagary," and also to know if we.will reproduce it. "Tho Autumn Vagary" was written by Mina May Funkhousor, of Ray's Crossing, Mo. She was also the author of "The Nup tial Nightmare; or. Skeorcd to Deuth at the Altar." Sho wrote two years ago a little epic entitled "Lines on the Death of Peleg Pangborn, Who Was Drug from His lied at Niglit and Kicked to Doath bv a Coarse Man, Nov. 3. 1880." A tinge of sad ness runs through ull of lior best work. 1 give below the poem usked for by Miss McCusick: AN AUTUMNAL VAGARY. BY MINA RAY FUNKHOUSER.

We can do it, Let us do it Estelle Lafayette Blnks asks who is Worth? Charles Frederic Worth, of Paris. Franco, is a well-to-do dressmaker. Ho started out as a poor sewing girl, and first attracted attention in Paris by not loading a life of shame. This drew about him the curious and wealthy, who got him to make their drosses, lio was born in England, I think in Lincolnshire. Ho was a clerk in a dry goods store at first, but showed such gonlus in draping and arrunging costumes, ulso in inventing now methods of squandering monoy on clothes, that ho was soon able to establish himself. His placo, I think, is on tho Rue do la l'aix, or somo such a rue as that, aud on the great French holiday,which occurs on July 14, his decorations and il luminations are tho flnost and most beauti ful. He has made a great mnny dresses for the Empress Eugenie, and those who have seen him. with a mouthful of pins, fitting a waist lining to the Empress ray it is worth a losing and nauseating journey over the soa to wltnoss. The poet says: 'Tin worth that makon tho wan, And want of it tho fellow. This is also true of tho women of Pa> Is. Worth has & very handsome daughter who has served to show off some of her father's greatest masteipieces in costum ing. Tho famous establishment is now about twenty years old and is doing well. Worth does not make drosses for inv folks. Wo are a little particular about who makes our clothes. A good leather cake is mado by compil ing ono and one-half cups of sugar with two newly plucked eggs, well beaten, two tablcspoonfuls melted butter, one cup of sweet Harlem milk, two cups of Hour, two spoonfuls of baking powder, a littlo salt, and one-balf teaspoonful of vanilla. Make it in threo layers aud fill in with chocolate or cocoanut. Bake slowly and oat while hot. The cake itself should be cold, how ever, when oaten. You cannot "collect change ofT a man" who has failed to give it back to you for eleven years. You say that it was at Spring field, Mass., and that the lunch counter man failed to give you back tho majority of a two-dollar bill when you bought only ia hard-boiled egg. You should have done the way a man did who bought the plate of boans ut the same place and had to lose Lis change or his train. He telegraphed the proprietor "collect" that ho thought "that was ah of a prico for beans," until it cost the lunch counter twenty dollars, and thon ho got his change. Mr. Davoy was gotting a rapid, stand-up meal one day at .Springfield during that reign of terror, and saw that tho proprietor did not intend to givo him his change for two dollars, so whilo a frionil engaged the genial and ur bane cold-tongue purveyor to tho Queen in conversation Mr. Davoy gently slid his hand under an adult custard file. Then as the train was about to start Mr. Davey .casually called the attention of tho hard boiled egg founder, who looked suddenly around only to receivo the entire pie in his face. By tlio time ho hail combed the cus tard pie out of his long and luxuriant whis kers the train had reached Boston. Spring field now has, however. I am happy to say. a good lunch counter, where one und all are welcome.

The True Inwardness or u Toot. I know of a lady who is very mad at her husband because he fell in with the boys a few nights ago and went out on a "toot." I presume it is unnecessary to explain here what a "toot" is. Near ly every full grown male adult in the world had a "toot" or two in his life, and I would be inclined to suspect tlio man who would plead "not guilty" to I that impeachment. A "toot" is neces- ! sarily something riotous. To be frank a "toot" means strong drink, cards per- 1 haps, a front row in the varieties, may be a supper after the opera, and al ways a hack ride in the small hours, j In the abstract a "toot" is very wrong. It is degrading and pernicious—a shameless sort of folly, in short, that correct morals can not and should not openly countenance. But it is natural and I want to say to this much offend ed wife that in the majority of times a "toot" is a good thing for some men Its consequences are remorse and shame. Any good man who goes ofi on a "toot" at long intervals—say once or twice a year—always loves and re spects tho purity of his own hom6 more after the "toot" than he did be fore. The gilded bad tilings ho sees and does on a "toot" are sure to suffei by comparison with the virtue and dignity of his home and that of itsell is sutlicient to make him very much ashamed of his folly and very tendei and regardful of those his conscience is sure to tell him ho has wronged. Besides, a "toot" gives him the head ache and fills him full of good resolves. I do not want it understood by what 1 have writton here that I indorse "toot ing." On the other hand I regard it as something tliut is essentially degrad ing and vicious. I merely claim that there aro worse things than a "toot," and occasionally a "toot" is excusablo. For example, whon a man is dejectod, when sorrow has cast him down, when misfortune has given him the blues or ennui seizes him, it is not so bad after all to seek surceaso in a "toot." And I want to say again that the married man who "toots" occasionally is not half so dangerous a citizen as that one who, while observing the most correct habits, forgets his wife and his home all the time to make diligent love to other women and goes through society a wolf in lamb's clothijig, doing what harm he can in any home without com punction under the guise of immacu late respectability. I think tho wife to whom I refer in this case ought to forgive her husband without further agitation. lam sure he will not go "tooting" around again very soon, and this ono "toot" has only served to make him ashamed of himself and to increase his respoct and love for tho purity of his home circle. Forgive him. Ho knew what he did, but the old boy ; hadn't had a racket for such a long time that ho couldn't help it.—Louis ville Trulli. A Remit itul lac in. The exquisite cleanliness of every-, thing strikes one forcibly on board the! Victoria and Albert, Queen Victoria's traveling vessel. Tho deck is laidwithi ■cork floorcloth, over which, when tho Queen is 011 board, a carpet is placed, and everything elso that is to bo seen' is of pure white, with gilded relief work and silver mountings. There aro very comfortable little sitting-rooms on the promenade deck and behind tho paddle wings, and there is also a din-' ing saloon 011 tho promenade dock, which has threo big windows and a skylight. It is furnished in green' •morocco, and tho coiling is painted in,' white and gold. The state apartments below are placed 011 cither side of a corridor, and they aro furnished with a very pretty chintz. The Queen's cabins are on the starboard side, and her sleeping apart ment contains a largo and old-fashioned but very comforlnblo-looking bedstead, ] with pillars and canopy, and next is the dressing-room, which was formerly [Prince Albert's cabin, and it remains as he left it, his littlo writing table and wardrobe never having been moved.

The' drawing-room is forward on the port side, and it is furnished in bird's-eyoi with a piano and several beautifully, Carved side-tables. It is hung with por traits of members of tho royal family, and in this room is a small library. The yacht is now lighted with electricity, except in the Queen's own cabins. Knows All About Corks. The queerest hobby on record is that in which Dr. Hammond interested an indolent patient in order to occupy his jmind. "A man once came to me," said tho .Doctor, "who was suffering very se verely from having nothing to do. He came to 1110 bewailing his state of 'mind. ' I have nothing to interest me ;in life,' he complained. 'I have on j abundance of means, and my money is .so invested that I have nothing to do but cut tho coupons off my bonds, and There is 110 trouble to take care of it. ■I have nothing in the world to interest [me or occupy my time. I have been gradually becoming low-spirited and melancholy, and I shun society. If |you can give mo something to live for, I will be greatly indebted to you.' "I told him to collect bottle-corks, and lie took to the suggestion at once, and now owns tho most wonderful collec tion of corks of anybody in tho world probably. Ho classifies tho corks ac cording to tho character of liquor their bottlos contained, and tho countries jfrom which they come. He has bo •conie a marvelous expert, and his col lection deserves to be exhibited in the National Museum. He will pick up a cork in the street and at once tell that it came from a bottlo containing such and such a wine, anil from such and such a country. "Of course, that man's mind cannot bo of a very high order to be satisfied with doing nothing but collect bot tle oorks, but tho occupation is sufficient for him. What ho has ac complished, however is really remarka ble, and 110 has the satisfaction of knowing that he knows more about this line of study than any other living man." — Washington Tost.

Tho wonderful growth of this Now Eng : land city in tho South has been such as to jccauion exclamations of surprise from all visitor*. Surely, say many, the magician's irt alone could have produced this great transformation in a few short months. To those who have studied tho situation the growth seems the most uatural thing imag inable and not at all to be wondered at, ; though phenomenal. j Of all the flourishing towns and cities of j the South this one has attracted most atten bion, perhaps, for here alone i - to be worked Dut the result of tho first organized move ment of the capital and brains from the North and East in tho development of tho vast resources of this region of country. Here the iron ore of the best quality is within a quarter of a mile of the furnace. Limestone for lluxing is yet nearer, on the opposite side, and the coke ovens are building m the lot adjoining the furnace. A like condition of fortuitous circumstances do not exist elsewhere in this or any other country to insure a cheap production of pig iron. Besides, this country abounds in clays that makes the finest quality of lire bricks, sewer pipe, terracotta, etc.; in kaolin and haloy jite, from which is made the finest crockery and pottery; in sand for moulding and for gloss making; in building stone of beautiful colors and shades; in forests of timber, both hard and soft woods; in a productive soil; i.i beautiful scenery; an abundance of pure spring water, and in healthful surroundings Its location is in tho Wills Valley, between Lookout and Sand Mountains, 011 tho Queen & Crescent Route, fifty-one miles below Chattanooga and ninety-two miles above Birmingham, in north-eastern Aalabama. Tho Fort Payne Coal & Iron Company, having 1800 stockholders, nearly all from New England, with Col. J. W. Spauld ing, as President, and C. O. Godfrey (Mayor of the city), as General Manager, located hero in February lost and purchased many thousand acres of land. At that time the population numbered 531; now it is a city of ovor 3000 population, with electric lights, water works, and rapidly growing. In that time there has been erected and in process of erection ovor five hundred dwellings, two largo hotels, furnace, rolling mill, lime kiln, asphaltum block pavement factory, ice factory, stove works, very ex tensive fire clay works, fivo brick yards, carriage factory, two saw mills, planing mill, two banks, many stores, school houses, churches, opera house, etc. The ofllcers of the company are busy day and night ar ranging for new industries, answering scores of letters daily received, entertaining visit ors and pushing the building operations of the new industries under way.

This letter was hand- j ed to the Arm. " Do you think that is a smart letter?" j asked one of them. "It is a business one," said the book- j keeper. " Well, I don't think so," replied the former. " Give me your pen and I'll show you the way to do it," and he proceeded to write the following: "Who bought my goods? You." "Wlio promised to pay for them? You." " Who didn't do so? You."
