Lonl Lyons has loft n regular series of dinries, lu which nro rolr.ted nil the moro striking private Inclilont.H of his dlploiuntlo career. The passages rcliitlug his Wushlug ton excrieiices during the civil war, anil his notes of Parisian llfo heforo and after tho fall of tho empire, are of extraordinary in terest. On his 09th birthday, Feb. 8, 18S9, Gen. Sherman was captured by Lieut. flurnoy, of Barony's photographic establishment, nnd during his term of imprisonment wns "taken" in twenty different jKwItlons.

Another silver bowl wns presented by Mrs. Grant, and lioro tho inscription, "From Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, widow of Gen. nnd President U. H. Grant," Wagner wns tho most furious nntl-Somltio fnnntio of his time, hut tho Jews at least lovo his music, Aprojios of this, a story is told of Liszt's visit to ii wealthy Jewish lawyer of Lolpsic, Sitting in his library tho two dis cussed inuslo with great enthusiasm, when suddenly Liszt stopiwd in tho midst of a laudatory tirade on tho "Muslc-draum" with tho Interjection, "Hut I forgot: you probably feci ii raeo lint rod toward Wagner." Tho other arose, took down a bust from a retired nlcho showing Wngticr with u chnplet of laurel around his brows and a halter around his neck, and said: "That's what I think of Uichard Wagner." Charles Hong, who died recently nt Mlntio nolls, wus oiio of tho original bottlers of that city. Thero was not n dozen actual bottlers west of the river nt tho Falls of St. Anthony, now nearly forty years ago, when Mr. Hoag arrived thero with his family, and within n few weeks of his advent, he had tho distinguished honor of standing godfather for the now frontlor settlement. Having lx-cn n school lonelier in tho east, ho con ceived tho idea of combining in tho name of tho now settlement a word from tho nuclent Greek nnd ono from tho Indian tongue, henco tho name Minneapolis (water city literally). Mrs. I). O. Croly, lwtter known as "Jennlo Juno," is ono of tho few womon who hnvo had n thorough Journalistic training. Sho began her career by writing for tho uows pairs, nnd sho has worked In every depart ment of n newspaper olllco except tho com posing room. Sho is n very hard worker, but sho has won tho reward that does not always follow hanl work good pny. Mrs. Croly wns ono of tho founders of Sorosls, nnd wns its president from tho first until within two years, when sho handed in her resignation, much to tho regret of tho bovcrnl hundred uiemlers of that society. Sho is now editor nnd proprietor of tho long known "Godoy's Lady's IJook." John Habbcrton mado moro monoy out of "nelon's Babies" than out of nil tho rest of his books put togothor, but it is hardly safe to mention it to him. Ho thinks moro of any of tho others, and has a great distaste for being known especially as tho nuthor of that skit. What ho wants to bo nnd is will ing to loso money in being Is n heavy his torian. Urot Harto has au almost equal dis taste for being recognized on tho merits of tho "Heathen Chiueo." Hut ho nover re ceived directly u cent for that. Ho wrote it In a California newspaper olllco to fill sjmico and quell tho insistent cry for copy, and ho nover thought it was funny. Wo havo two Peter Coolers in Washing ton Georgo Ilaneroft nnd W. W Corcoran. Thoy nro the last resort for copIo who wish to write nuw8iMiier paragraphs. When everything elso fulls, then Georgo Bancroft can bo trotted out. I baw him last at tho White House, where ho is very fond of going when weather and health ieriult. Ho had just passed in front of tho president and was being shot through tho pas.sagoway Into tho East room, which was already well filled. Ho tottered its an old man in his IXHh year will, and ho wns rather timid and garrulous. Ho was clinging to tho arm of his granddaugh ter, Suzanule, who eloped with a fellow to Baltlmoro nnd married him. "Don't go so fast," ho said. "Wo shall got lost in tho crowd. Hero, hold on to my nrm I Dear mo, what n Bight of people. Bo careful of tho wny you go." Tho story thnt ho is losing his mind Is contradicted by Gen. Badeau, who re cently sjwnt bovoral hours chatting with him. Tho general tells mo that ho found Mr. Ban croft in tho best montal condition, with a clear recollection of tho past. Of course, lis will never write much moro history, and BOino ouo else will havo to tako up his groat work when ho loaves it.

Tho puro nmlier is precious stuir, nnd the oxtravngnuco and grandeur of tho Russian rulers may bo suggested by a chninbcr in tho old palaeo of Catherine tlio Great at Tsarekn- Selo, thirty miles from Petersburg, which is lined, walls nnd coiling, with tho finest amber. As tho room is half as largo as tho great Jiost room in tho white Ilouso nt Well ington, its vuluo is purely a matter of specu lation. It caunot bo estimated. Tho golden gum is in largo plecea larger than can bo found elsewhere in tho world; in fact, no where but under tho wntors of tho Baltic lu bo large nn accumulation of tho stuir, nnd it in laid, llko mosaic, so artistically thnt tho divisions can bcarcely bo detected. When tho room is lighted tho effect is superb. Thero is nothing to compare with it.

After wander lug ubout for u time thoy ciuno to a straw stack. Tho oldor girl dug out tho straw as fur ns she could. Sho then put her sister in ahead of her nnd crowded iu after her. Sho took off their shiKti, and when their feet grow cold she ruhlHxl them briskly. Tho younger girl fell asleep, but tho elder keptuwuko and continued tho rubbing process when nocos Bary. Tho parents gave up their children as lost, but early Friday morning, after tho storm hud subsided, thu girls, none tho worso for tholr exiierlenee, made their wny homo, nnd it is needles to say thero was great Joy and rejoicing in that hoiiho.

Somo of tho natural woods of California and Oregon nro coming into extensive uso, both nt homo nnd abroad, for interior finish, tho most valuable for this purjioyj leing tho redwood, tho w lilto codur, tho laurel, nnd tlio syenmoro. Tho rodwood takes tho leatl in this lino, taking a good iiollsh, nnd, for general uso, wenr and staying qualities, is alleged to havo uo superior in any forest iu tho world. Tho laurel Is smooth, firm, lieautlfully fig ured, aud altogether u dosirablo wood. Tlio valuo of tho sycamoro as an ornamental wood has only quite recently beeomo gener ally known, its grain being much llko that of tho eastern birch, having waving Hues close together, ana, ns it Is quite tough nnd strong, it possesses BUcrior value for veneering. Tho Oregon ash is of beauty nud utility for docorutivo punwscs, is figured with conccu- trlo curves, and allows nn attractive polish. Tho maple of that state is also of beautiful appearance, light yellow in color, nnd a sur fuco covered with btnall, wavy lines, of e s jwclnl beauty in tho gaslight. Now York Sun.
