girl when her father was governor. Tho
Misses Foster were both popular young

favorite, as is also Miss Owens, sister of
Mrs. Campboll. Tho families of Governors

Cox, Anderson, Drough nnd Todd brought
no young ladies to tho city, hut at the
present time tho growth in wealth and
culturo is such aa to present brilliant char

Hrlght, quick nnd vivacious are the terms
which licst portray tho disposition of Miss
Ilrown.
In tho third guuoratlou of thu Thurmnus
none attracts moro attention than tho tall,
lithe Miss Kittle, daughter of Mr. Allen W.
Thurmau. Sho Is n pronounced brunette,
nnd has about hur much of that individuali

fnther's family occupies a portion of tho
family residence. Miss Thurmau Is young,
handsome, aud will do honor to tho namo
which she hears.
MISS NtN'A KIltF.STOXK.
Ono of the most beautiful, yet thorough
ly sensible, girls of tho Capital City Is Miss
Fannie Mitchell, second daughter of Gen.
John C. Mitchell, United States pension
agent, and a niece of ex-Prcsldcnt Hayes.
Miss Mitchell Is a hlondo of the purest
tyH, has a perfect complexion and largo
brown eyes. Sho Is slight of stature, viva
cious in manner, and is greatly admired
by all who know her. Mlss,MitchelI fre

Interesting manner, and Is ono of tho choice
buds of Columbus society.
The list of fair ones-might lie extended
almost indefinitely, but in lieu of names
and individual description it may bo said
of tho capital's younger beauties, in the
words of Shakespeare, slightly altered,
that they are
Maids
That pardon description and Mild fumo;
They do excel the quirks ot blazoning ens.
And In tlio etscntial vusture of creation
Do bear all excellency.
Twins In Kvery lleipret.
The Johnson twins, ot Bristol, England,
nro two young artisans between whom It
is said there exists a most remarkablo
similarity. Not only are thoy of tho same
height and weight, having tho samo col
ored hair, eyes and complexion, Identical
fdiyslcal measurements, nnd feeding, walk
ug, running, laughing, crying, singing
and spet.king alike, but they are of tho
sumo occupation, hold tho samo position
and havo tho samo religious persuasion
and likes and disliitcs. Moro singular
still, thoy havo espoused very Blmllar
wives, and they have tho samo number of
children, who aro of tho samo sexes three
girls and three boys each.
There Is a story to the effect that at

IN HONOR OF A NEGRO.
Tim .Moniiiiifltit to llo Krcoted ut fjilie
JSrrrit, III.
Tho leading citizens of Iiko Forest, a
suburb of Chicago, havo raised funds to
pay for tho erection of a monument to tho
memory of Samuel Dent, who, according
to tho statement of their printed circular,
"wn.s a worthy citizen, the children's hero,
and o cry body's friend." Dent, u ho was
an Alabama negro and a slave before
tho war, liecaino n resident of Iiko Forest
In 1871, and during tho subsequent years
amassed qulto a competency ns an express
and livery man. Tim secret of his popular
ity may best bo indicated by an cxtmct
from nn Interview had with him not long
lieforo his death.
"Now, sah," ho said, "I (loan know ns
you'll b'llehii It, but I enn hones'ly say dnt
dnro alii' a man In Lake Forest whnt has
douo moro to build up do place dan Sam
U.NCI.K SAM I1KNT.
Dent has. When a man comes to town to
buy a place ho says: 'Your name Dent?
Oh, yes; I heard oh you I want you to
show mo do place.' I hnbo heard men tell
dat doy wouldn' habo bought property
hem if I lindn' showed 'cm do place In do
way I did, puttin' do lies' foot forward. A
little word at do right tlmo will influcnco
a man pow'ful when bo's buyln' a place.
An' when folks comes hero wld chlllcn to

'roun' by do nlco places fust 'roun' by
Senator Farwell's an' John V. Fnrwell's,
an' doy says: 'Oh, myl what a lovely place!

doy puts 'cm in do schools,
"How 'Isiut dem pretty gals what goes to

on ilo front seat wld Dent when doy goes
out faw a ride. I goes homo an' looks In

den udda folks; but somehow do gals likes
to sit on do front seat wld Dent. I say,
'Now, gals, you Jls' let do teachers sit on
do liack scat, 'causo do hack scat is softer
an mo' comf't'hlo dan do front seat.' Do
gals giggles, an' do teachers Is stowed away

An' I say, 'Now you Jls' go long.' Do

An Incident if Oeeitii Trutel.
No words can describe the awful same
ness of tho briny deep In calm weather.
Far as tho eyo can seo extends tho un
varying bliui green waste; every little
wavo looks Just like every other. Ono
day there rose on tho northern horizon,
coming Into full view In a few minutes af
ter It was sighted, and apparently aiming
oxactly at us, a largo ship with every sail
set, and gliding like n great white bird
overthosea. It was a magnificent sight.
Nearer and nearer It came; tho two ves
sels on the samo lino seemed aliout to col
lide nt their bows, and all tho passengers
were filled with curiosity nnd delight nt so
inspiring a spoctaclo. Ono minute I was
positive tho sailing vessel would strlkous
amidships; the next it passed Just astern,
and overy passenger yelled and waved and
yelled again, hut elicited no response. On
tho entire deck but one man could be seen,
and ho did not oven turn his face toward
us that I could seo. He was probably too
busy at the rudder. In live minutes tho
beautiful sailer was like a great white
cliff glowing nfar in tho last rays of the
sun; in ton more sho was hull down on tlio
southwestern horizon, and soon her tallest
masts disappeared nx it sinking into tho
sea, Sho was a godsend to us. Wo return
ed to tho smoking room with a renewed
appetite for hilarity.
An Actor's Child Sweetlieurt.
When Wilson Barrett, tho English tra
godlan, was playing an engagement In St.

ardent admirers was Mignon Shattlnger, a
