Henry Clay's Kemarknlile Memory.
It Is said that no man ever had a
more marvelous memory for faces than
I Henry Clay. The Instances given to
prove this are numberless.
On one occasion he was on his way to
Jackson, Miss., and the cars stopped for
a short time at Clinton. Among the
crowd who pressed forward was one
vigorous old man who Insisted that
Mr. Clay would recognize him. Ho
had lost one eye.
"Where did I know you?” asked Mr.
Clay, fixing a keen glance on this
man.
“In Kentucky,” was the reply.
"llad you lost your eye before thou,
or have you lost It since?" wua the
next question.
“Since," answered the old man.
"Turn the sound side of your face
toward me so I can see your profile,"
said Mr. Clay, peremptorily, and the
man obeyed. "I have It!" aald Mr.
Clay, after a moment’s scrutiny of !he
profile. "Didn’t you give me a verdict

MADAGASCAR ORCHID.
1U Va«<*rt SpoiiHtir Ulilcfti Vimllcftted
Itarwhi'* llrlief lu HU Theory
We might proceed through all the
orchid genera, each affording its sur
prise lu Its special modification in
adaptation to Its insect sponsor all
these various shapes, folds of petals,
positions, colors, the also, length and
thickness of nectary, the relative posi
tions of pollen and stigma, embodying
an expression of welcome to the insect
with which Its life is so marvelously
linked, says Harper's Magazine. Occa
sionally this astounding affinity Is
faithful to a single species of Insect,
which thus becomes the sole sponsor
of the blossom, without whose associa
tion (be orchid would become extinct.
A remarkable Instance of this special
adaptation Is seen in the great Anprae
ciun urcl#l of Madagascar, described
by Darwin, Inasmuch as this species
glorifies Darwin's faith In the truth of
his theory und marks a notable victory
In the long battle for Its supremacy.
Among the host of skeptics-—and were
they not legion?—who met this evolu
tlonsry and revolutionary theory with
Incredulity,not to say ridicule or worse,
was one who thus challenged Its author
shortly after the appearance of his
•‘Fertilization of Orchids," addressing
Darwin from Madagascar substantially
us follows: "Upon your theory of evo
lution through natural selection all the
various contrasting structural features
of the orchids have direct reference to
some Insect which shall best cross fer
tilize them. If an orchid has a nectary
an Inch long, un Insect’s tongue of
equivalent length Is Implied; h nectary
six Inches In length likewise Implies a
tongue six Inches lung. What have you
to say In regard to an orchid which
flourishes here In Madagascar possess
ing a long nectary us slender as a knit
ting needle and eleven Inches In
length? On your hypothesis there
must he a moth with u tongue eleven
Inches long, or this nectary would nev
er have been elaborated." Darwin's re
ply was magnificent In Its proof of the
sublime conviction of the truth of his
belief: "The existence of an orchid with
a slender nectary eleven Inches In
length and with nectar secreted at Its
tip Is a conclusive demonstration of the
existence of a moth with a tongue 11
Inches In length, even though no such
moth Is known.” Many of us
remember tne ridicule wmni
heaped upon him for thl* apparently
blind adherence to an untenable theory.
But victory complete and demoralising
to hi* opponent* awaited thl* oracular
utterance when later a dl*clple of Dar
win, led by the *ame spirit of faith and
conviction, visited Madagascar and was
soon able to affirm that he had caught
the moth, a huge sphinx moth, and that
it* tongue measured eleven Inches In
length.
GOTHAM’S PRETTIEST WOMAN.
MIm Marl* C hiin lilll Him Honored Ob
ject of Adoration.
There has always been a popular
Idea that New York did not value beau
ty In Its women us highly as style.
Gotham's feminine types arc perfect In
their way, clear cut, high bred, well
groomed, and above all perfectly clad.
But they are not, us a rule, pretty, In
the sense that a southern or western
man would use the term. It Is In the
south that beauty reigns supreme and
a girl on the other side of the Mason
and Dixon line, be she ever so rich,
clever or stylish, Is not a belle unless
she has also the divine gift. But late
ly Gotham, untrue to tradition, has
been Imitating the southern cities and
worshiping at the shrine of beauty.
Miss Marie Churchill Is the honored
object of tills adoration. She is con
ceded to be the most beautiful woman
In New York. She Is prominent in
the more exclusive social circles. Is a
womuu of superior accomplishments

From the Mobile Dally Register
Yesterday afternoon there was a lone
flush of lightning and an accompanying
dap of thunder, and then the rainstorm
which was threatened blew over. Hut
the lightning had made a record for
Itself which will remain. It went Into
ihe photographing business without the
aid of any apparatus except an object
to be photographed and a piece of sugui
candy for a receiving plate. In the
candy store of Mr. Thomas Tonsmelre
on lower Dauphin street was the candy
that the lightning chose to operate
upon. The candy was of sugur and glu
cose, brown in color, and transparent.
It lay on a slab on a table In the midst
of the store. The article photographed
had no sort of mark upon It. In the
search for a cine to the sudden and
mysterious appearance, the paper
wrapper was discovered on the floor
with those letters exposed which ap
peared on the eandy. Mr. Fosdlck !-ayR
that there is a mirror In front of the
table that possibly had something to do
with the photographing, slnee the mir
ror Is In line with the location of the
wrapper; hut this does not explain any
thing; rather does it serve to deepen
the mystery.

Hints to the Ttschir.
f. A Didst Ian In trial. We have seen
the apostle In trial before, hut this lesson
presents some new phases of experience,
as well as some* old ones. 1. There was a
trial In his captivity. Verse 1. He had
been chained for two years, tail this did
not make his chain any lighter. He was
now on his way to Rome, with the uncer
tainties of another trial before him. and
the* certainty of a long and tedious Im
prisonment before his trial. 2. There was
a trial In his associations. V©r*»e 1 Dally
a course Roman soldier was chained to
his arm, to he his constant companion.
Resides this, ho was surrounded by a
company of criminals, the- lowest and
vilest In character, and utterly repugnant
to his lino nature. Vet he was compelled
to he In constant, companionship with
them. 3. There was a trial In his clan
gers. Verse 20. IL* was on hoard a crowd
ed, leaky, storm-tossed vessel, when not
a soul on board except himself cherished
a hop#* of escape from shlpw're<k.
II. A Christian's comforta in trial. What
were some of the* compensations of the
apogth- In his trials? 1. He had Ihe < om
panlonshlp of friends. Verse 2. Three
beloved ones were by his side to give him
1 he good cheer of their presence: Timothy,
' mine- own son In the* faith;’’ Luke, ’’the
beloved physician;" and Aristarchus, “my
I fallow-prisoner." Christian fellowship
hi enlighten many a dreary hour. 2. IL*
! had a kind-hearted commander. Versa
1. The- connecting verses and other sen
tences In this chapter show that Julius,
the centurion, was favorably Impressed
with Raul’s character, and showed him
much kindness. This was at one time, If
not oftemr. the means of saving his life,
and at ull times alleviated the distress of
Ids lot. 3. He* enjoyed communion with
God. Verses 22-20 Hweeter even than the
fellowship with his friends wuh Raul’s
fellowship with the Lord. He- talked with
on© who was above the storm, and re
ceived from him the assurance of sufety.
4. He had the ministration of angels
Verse 22. "Are they no! all ministering
spirit*?” I’aul found them so. und re
joiced In their voice* of comfort. 6. He
had the promise of safely. Verse 24. One
ruy of sunlight penetrated the gloom of
that cabin, the promise thut he should
stand before Caesur, and that for hi*
sake all on bourd should he *afe. These
were Paul'* comforts; may we not In our
trials find similar consolations?

London Cablegram. The present
extraordinary epidemic of murders,
suicides and outrages upon women In
l-cndon and Its vicinity Is unequalled
since the days of "Jack the Kipper."
Dally for a week past the public has
been startled by an atrocious murder
and the alarm Is Increased by the fact
that the perpetrators of the crimes
have all baffled the police and have es
caped without apparently leaving a
Clue as to their Identity. The murder
In a railroad carriage of Miss Camp, In
February last, the perpetrator of the
crime not having been discovered, has
been followed by another railroad trag
edy, In which Mrs. Bryan, the wife of
a Dr. Bryan of Northampton, has been
killed under circumstance* pointing to
murder, and the Rev. Aubrey Price, u
well-known divine, was killed by bur
glar* at hi* residence, on Monday. A
little hoy has been kidnapped and mur
dered In the suburbs; a rich, miserly
woman haa been found cut to pieces at
her residence, Bethnal Green, and n
farmer's daughter, Kmma Johnson, has
been murdered at Windsor under pe
culiar circumstances. Her body ws*
mutilated atrlpped and thrown Into
the Thame* The authors of all these
outrages are *!Ui at large and there
seems to he no trai „> of them, although
the murderer of Kraran Johnson Is be
lieved to bo a maniac, who*« actual
Identity Is not known, but who for
months past has frightened and as
saulted persons on the road from Wind
Ml MM UAMr,
sor to Maidenhead and who has always
nmnuged to elude rapture.

The extraordinary subterranean
quarrlea known by the name of the Cat
acombs extend under u very great part
of Paris. On account of the alleged in
security the catacombs have been
closed from the public, and It Is a mat
ter of difficulty to obtuln admission.
The catacombs eontuln all tbe visible
remains of human creatures that had
filled burial places within the walls of
Paris for one thousand years. It waa
the plan of M. I^enoir, lieutenant-gen
eral of police, that these bones should
he placed In regular rows with appro
priate Inscriptions, serving as lessons
to the living. The skulls, of which
there are over two millions, are placed
In conjunction with the bones of the
legs and arms In a manner which gives
a most striking appearance. In passr

tary space Is the life of man; where Is
now the abode of the spirits tha’ once
animated these skeletons and wl.at Is
to be our destination after death? For
thousands of years philosophers have
speculated whether or not our eoula
survive our bodies, with no certain re
sult. It Is religion that holdo - tit the
strongest hope that tbe grave Is not
our last home, and that our destination
is to higher spheres thau tombs unJ
