Henry Laboncbcro says: "A frienJ of mine who haa lived long in Britiah Qniana tella me that, all told, there were only ISO white men in tbe dis¬ puted district between tho Orinoco and the Esecqnibo."
A Kew York writer bas been inresti- gating tbo drinking babits ot Qotbam aooiety and finds that while there ia a good deal of it, tbe glamor of drink is gone, and it is now conaidored "very bad form to get full."
Bkiocrnphs, tho new deaignation of the Boentgen X ray pictures—whioh it ia impoaaible to call photographs— have nothing to do with the aky. The oorreot pronunciation ia ikee-o-graph, aoc«nt on the flnt syllable. It tig&i- flfls "abadow-writing."
Bowery merchants of New York City elaim that^he effect of the song, ''The Bowery," htta been to seriously depre¬ ciate property values along that thor- ongbfarc. Thoy claim that strangers to th0 oitT belioTO tbo words ot the song, and baro como to regard nil busineu men on the Bowery as brig¬ and* and bunco operators.
Some ono aaked in the British Honse of Oommons tho otber day whether any Oovernment offlcer could eseroiso general snpervision over tho poems ot Alfred Austin beforo pablioittion. An Irish membar asked if the Poet Lau¬ reate waa not the auccesaor of the Ooart Jester, who waa always held to bo irresponsible, ifot a siuglo man aroso to defend the auocosaor of Ten¬ nyson.
History is being mado very faet in thaae darA The New York Beoorder calla attention to the faot that the London pfMa to-day is fully oouvcrt- •d to the Monroe Doctrine. It waa no longer ago than 1802 that tho Lan- doa Tlnw dtolared Napoleon IU. had done a graat politioal servioe to the world in setting up Maximilian in Mexico, and thereby "oxtinguiBjiiiig the Monroe Doctrine."
Tba probable outcome of tbo Vene- taela qaestioo will be, according to Harper's Weekly, "surrender on tho part ot Oreat Britain," tho "chasten¬ ing ot England," tho strengthening and ezteosion of the trne Monroe Doetrioe, "a better state of feeling" baiwaan the two countries, and suo- oeas on the part of the United Statea in impreising "tho rest of the world, and aapeoially Oreat Britain, with that de¬ gree ot respect whioh is sometimen paid to those wbo insist on tbeir rigbta, rataonably or unreasonably."
Sayu the Philadelphia Times: Tbo moat eDoonragioij re.^iilta uf tbe Ken Jcrasy road law are 100 miles of per- maueot road and aa increasing public appraoiation of the advaatagea of good roada. At first only a few ooanties wera williug to assume the ooat ot try¬ ing the experiment. Tho uumber has growa in the two yonra from five to fourteen, or two'thir.ls«(,tbe ccantioa in the State, and it ia evident that pub¬ lic opinion will demand a large in- crease of tbo annual Stato appropria¬ tion, which up to this time bas not ci- ccodad 1100,000.
It is not a matter for regret, main¬ tains tho Amorican Agriculturiil, thnt tha promotion of borso moat ns an ar¬ ticle of food boa proved a failuro. Th..

Annt Choda Hemenwny wne sboiit to be married. Having never listened in ber young days to a lyllablo on love aud matrimony, novr, ut tho ago of fifty five, aho aaddcniy aetonisbed all her relatives by bid.ling them to ber marriage witb iJiiko Potter, a phicwd, well-to-do fHrmer, wbo hal lived n neighbor to her all bia life. "With all her property oud ber tel, partii'uliir B, it can't l;e po'^eiblc!" we each aud all exclaimed in different koya, dropping onr letters of inTitntiou.
I had a npecial call to present niy- Bclf a few .lays before tke marriiige feast, being consicUrnl in Ihe family a favorite of Aunt Khu.la'i-.
Now to Cousin.ToLn. IlownsBalh- sheba's ton, Aunt ItboJa'a favorito eister, wbo married early and went away from the boincuteail with ber huBband to settle in what wiia then Iho "far West," now a tlouriehiag towu in Illinois.

"Not for a thousand worl.ls!" I cried, strikiug out for bomo and wrapping my soggy dress aiouad tbe poor bonnet.
"You Billy child I" exclaimed my consiu.
Witbont further preamble bo took mc in bis arnif, hurried me out to tho carrioge and put me tboroin, the wed- dinp; bonnet, io the meantime alippiug to tbo groun,1'.
"We're almost hnme; I want to Eay ono thing to you—" "Woll?"
"1 wnnt to Bay—" "Well, if you nre goin^to scold me, pray  wait,"  I  cried.      "i  shall havo mougn of that soon."
"I wasn't going to scold .von," sai.l Cousin .lohn, "I wne only going to soy, tupposing yon and I have a wedding of our own. Then we can look after your lonnet."
"What do you moan?" And then I InugbeJ.

At last the liouuet wus io ny bond, tho bilf-featlier-tliat re- nained still burniug cmnrlly. .\t light of it I gavo a cry before I could Sontrol myeelf. Thnt I hod broken 3p tlie marriage I hod not o doubt. I tnew my auut well enough to believo her willing to givo up her greatest Ireasnro rather .than tu break one of Ihe proprieties vf life. And to be narvied without n^bonnet wus, in ber eyes, a custom onlyijfit for silly litllo ibings not yet escaped fi'om their teens.
