"Old Ross," as he was affectionately called by his dsaaptes. was a remarkable man in many ways. Not only was he an admirable speaker, but. as chairman, he possessed great tact discernment and coolness, which were sometiznes put to the severest teats, as I shall presently show. He was a man of profound and varied knowledge, one of the best Greek scholars in the kingdom, a strong and graceful writer, and a con tributor to several of the leading' periodi cals of London, including, I think. The Times. With all these qualities he pos sessed another that eminently fitted him for his posfcr he knew how to combine the easy going ways of the hofatnian with the refinement of a gentleman, to be genial and responsive yet digaiflVd and firm, to the most motley assembly, it seems to me, that was ever gathered together in one room. It was quite by accident that I discov ered the place one evening many years ago, when I dodged into an open door way to escape a sudden shower. Down a long passage was a leather padded door with an oval glass window in it marked "Discussion Forum." I shall never forget my surprise and delight when I found myself within, seated upon a bHch of adsTynrrno hardness and looked about on the quaint old room. It was long and narrow and low between decks like the cabin of a ship, and also, like a ship, it had forms, orsettees, along each wall behind a row of mahogany tables, and above, near the ceiling, was a row of square port holes for windows. Two centuries of soot and tobacco smoke had dyed the Soar, the walls and ceiling, the wooden bottomed chain and forms, to nearly the same color as the rude old fireplace. At the top of the room, on . great mahogany and horse hair throne, sat the charman. Old Boss, in his long gray beard Eke the figure of Father Time, but with a glass of ing toddy before him instead of the ditionalhour glass, and a very large pipe between his teeth. On the wall above Old Ross hung a quaint old mirror, flanked by a fine portrait of George Washington on one side and on the other by an elderly gentleman in the fntstnma of 1830 and wearing various jeweled orders and decorations. The further decorations cf the wall were limited to framed placards with various tempting inscriptions. Here ale and stoat were served in huge pewter Tankards, spirits in glasses, hot water in antique metal pots with lids, replenished now and then from a mm-ar;-n kettle on the hob. These deli cacies were distributed by two perspir ing waiters in draggled evening dress, who new about balancing trays of liim a and pewters in a wonderful manner, and TnnmhliTi in undertones to their customers. Bat if the room was fascinating, what shall I say of the.people who sat smok ing at a score of tables, waiting for the debate to begin? It was a company that would have oWightpd Hogarth and thrown Lavater into a frenzy. Such variety of hasd, of physiognomy and Bsake up, such strongly marked charac ter and. clear cut tTiHiirfaaifp- a"d won derful i Iiitlirii, nrp might go far to see. Here a swell from Mayfair cheek by jowl with a bargeman from the docks, a col ored student from the Temple, a prosper ous merchant; opposite, a Strand shop keeper, a printer, a journalist, a lawyer, in a row. The same diversity extended all round the room, and there nymfd to be no two twn nvv As at the Cogers', there ware always many elderly men who looked as if they had raisafrf their whole lives here, and ranch of the speaking was by them.

Omaha A colored waiter in the new Central Railroad depot restaurant in Jersey City saw a rattlesnake crawling along the floor near a party of ladies. HeyeUed "Snakear and the ladies ran out into the car shed screaming. The waiter had an armful of dishes. As the snake was heading for him he dropped the dishes and ran. Two men who had been eating at toe lunch counter followed hnn, One of the ladies who had ran oat told John Van Felt, a conductor, about the snake. Van Pelt got a stick and a friend of his got another, and they went into the res taurant. Half a doaen waiters, a cook in three passengers were sitting on the lunch counter. They were treed. The snake was crawling' toward the door, shaking its rattle savagely. Van Pelt and his friend made a combined attack, Van Pelfs stick was pointed, and he speared the snake through the neck, pin ning it to the floor. The other man beat the reptile to death. Then the waiters and cook and passengers came down from die counter. The snake was about two feet long. It had four rattles. How it got into the depot is a mystery. Pos sbry it had been hipped as freight, and had in some way escaped from confine ment. New York Sun.

THREE OLD MAIDS. aill nwrmfHTTl"iiai1l Fnil. "Nor L" mid Grace. "Nor L said Sophy. "I am wedded to art." continued the first speaker. "And I to literature," said the second. "And I to science," said the third. The combined ages of these damsebi would have fallen several years short of the aUocted three score and frm, but if each speaker had seen seventy summers she could not have spoken with more decision 5Tiey were ail young, they were all rich, they were all prettjv so that the chances were against the above resolu tion being fulfilled, even in this Nine teenth century, when civilization has run to seed and brides are scarcer than they used to be, and the votaries of sci ence and art and literature more numer ous. Sophy and Grace were sisters, Enid was their friend. Grace was the eldest, Enid the youngest, of the three. The sisters were both tall, fine girls, with dark eyes and hair and thick, white complexions, smooth and spotless a marble. Grace was beautiful, Sophy handsome; Grace was the paler, her features more delicately cut, her eyes softer. Sophy was the more vivacious, her eyes brighter, her smile more ani mated, her laugh merrier. Enid was not the least like her friends; she was small and very fair, with blue eyes and a quantity of pale golden hair, most of which was coiled into a crown on the top of her head, and the re mainder curled about her forehead. She dressed in the aesthetic style, and was one of the very few who can do so with impunity Max Leslie, brother to Sophy and Grace, was hopelessly in love with her, bur he was a lawyer, while Enid was the bride of art, and what have law and art m common with each other? "Men are so prosaic," said Enid. -And so stupid." said Sophy. "And so wicked," said Grace. "Well have none cf them." said the trio. "Girls, 1 have a plan, listen," said Enid. "We three will go away to a lonely iale I don't mean a desert island but to AIderney,oroneof the Orkneys or to the Lsle of Man" "No, not to Man, we wiU have nothing to do with Man; let us go to one of the Cliannel isles, there are no men there, at least, only a few officers about one to twenty girls, interrupted Sophy. "To the Channel isles be it then; we wiU take a house for three months, and we wfll make a solemn vow not a man shall cross the threshold from the day we enter till the day we leave," con tinued "" -Carried, mem, con.," cried the sis ters, and a fortnight later saw them set tled in a large house overlooking one of the loveliest of the Jersey bays. There had been obstacles to overcome in the form of protesting fathers and scandalized mothers, but the proposed exclusion of the stranger sex pacified the fathers, and the fact that Enid's old nurse, a veritable dnenna, was to make one of the party allayed att maternal fears, and in the end the young people got their own way, as young people mostly do nowadays. The first month passed away without anything more eTriting than a thunder storm occurring. The three aspirants to celibacy led a very simple life. They breakfasted at 9, dined at 1, had tea when they felt inclined and supped at 8. In the mornings the bride of art sketched from nature or painted in her studio, the bride of science shut herself up in the library with a skeleton and studied medi cine, while the bride of literature lay in a hammock and evolved the plot of a three volume novel which was to take the world by storm. On Sundays they drove into St. Ffelier to church, where they attracted so much attention that after the second Sunday people began to caU upon them They were prepared for this contingency, and Bar!-1. Enid's nurse, met all visitors with a very solemn face and the same information, namely, "that the ladies were at home, but they did not intend to receive visitors during their stay in the island- This reply did its intended work; in a little place like Jersey it soon reached the ears of everybody who wan anybody, and, as few- people cared to be snubbed in tiiis style, the besiegers retired and the besieged were left in peace. No doubt they were delighted to have gained this victory, though their af triumph seemed to grow' "We wont receive men, so we can't receive women," was their first watch word; at the aad of a fortnight this was changed o: "We can't receive men, so we won't receive womesuT at the end of a month it wear "We would receive both, bat they 1't give us a chanced bat this was spoken; it was not even whiskered. ant deep down in the heart of each maiilen it was the secret cry.

"I have broken my leg. I think." said -i Grace, "Let me see. dear, if you have. Enid and I can put it in splints till we get home." said Sophy, who was snTJoas to put some of her medical knowledge into practice. The leg was examined, declared broken and deftly set in temporary punts, consisting of snraihailf b. while fine cambric hindrsrchiefa were aeed torajajjagas Sophy then went back to the house to i fetch servants and a sofa on which to carry the sufferer home, and Enid re mained to condole with. her. "It ought to feel easier now it ia in splints; does it, dear?" she inquired ten derly. "No, it is very painful," said Grace, with a little moan. "I hope you have set it straight," she added. "It isn't set: it is only in splints to prevent a compound fracture; at present Sophy says it is only a simple fracture; but weshaU have to have a doctor, Grace. Sophy isn't qualified yet, you know. 1 wonder if there is a lady doctor in the island?" said Enid. "If there is I won't have her; I am not going to run the risk of being lame for life: I don't believe in lady doctors." said Grace decidedly. "Nor do L dear; you are quite right, and 1 only hope Sophy wfll agree with you," said Enid. At first Sophy was not at aU inclined to do this. She suggested scouring the island for a lady doctor, since a doctor Grace would have: but her sister's pale face and gentle moans soon decided her to send far a certain Dr. May, to whom they had an introduction in case of Al ness. The letter of introduction was from their brother, and if Sophy could have read the contents it would certainly never have reached its destination. As it was sealed she could not do so, and it had the effect of bringing Dr. May very quickly to the patient. "It is a simple fracture of the tibia," said Sophy, as she ushered Dr. May to the patient's room. If it was (and Dr. May did not contra dict her diagnosis) his treatment was peculiar. He first of all spent about half an hour in bathing the swollen white foot in cold water, then he band aged it, then he ordered the bandages to be changed whenever they got dry, and then, promising to come the first thing the next morning, he prepared to leave. "Won't you set it today?" said Sophy. "Ok dear, ho; itismach too swollen. I shan't be able to set it for some days. How long are you staying here?" "Oh, we have another six weeks to stay yet, saul aopny, despondently. "WelLI wfll endeavor to cure your sister by then; but I fear she won't be able to walk for some weeks, though you need not tell her so," said Dr. May. No sooner was Dr. May gone than Enid, who had not seen him, dashed into Grace's room,, all curiosity. "What is he like, girls?" she demanded eagerly. "He is young," said Sophy. "That is bad," said Enid. "And very handsome," said Grace. "That is wane. I wonder if he is mar ried?" said Enid. "That can't matter to us." said Grace. "Not in the very least," said Sophy. "Of course not. dears; only I wonder ed." said Enid. Now it is a strange thing, but life be came much more interesting to these three young ladies after this accident; and yet it ought to have cast a gloom over them, for it must have been rather a bad case, since Grace required Dr. May's attendance twice a day for the first week, and three times on the day be set the tibia and put it into splints, Bat before he did this he asked for a second opinion. He was a physician the case was surgical; he would not undertake to set the broken bone unless a surgeon were present. So a certain Mr. Ford, an army surgeon, was called in, not with out some scruples; but Dr. May repre sented it was a necessity, and necessity absolved them from keeping their vow. "Men are a necessary evil," said Enid. "They are certainly useful," said So phy. "And undoubtedly nice," said Grace but sotto voce. She dared not utter this sentiment aloud Mr. Ford was a little man, who looked to be about 40; fair, and so full of fan that he was a welcome addition to the party. The first week he came twice; after that, thnngh his visits were cer tainly not of a professional nature, he came every day, and, what was stran ger, he sometimes forgot to' go to Grace's room at all, though she was the ostensi ble cause of his visits. Grace bore her imprisonment with tine patience of a aunt. True, her was a large, airy one, and commanded a lovely view of the deep bine sea, won the romantic little bay at the foot of the heather clad slope on which the bouse stood.

And you are a stupid old thing, IxadKl,nottohavethoBajchtof k; and I hate yon, and I hate those girls, aad horrid Dr. May, and nasty little Mr. Ford. And oh, dear! what a dreadfuUy bed temper I am in." And here Enid threw herself on to Rachel's lap aad sobbed bitterly. But, though neaitanf. her red eyes quite precsnied the idea of resuming her uncongenial work; so in her absence Dr. May and Mr. Ford carried Grace and her sofa out on to the lawn, and there the four spent their afternoon. Enid did not join her frieade till the gentlemen were gone. "I am ao sorry you are not happy here. Enid, darling," said Grace gently. "I am quite happy," said Enid. "I am afraid you are not wefl, dear Enid, Would you like to speak to Mr. May?" said Grace. "Or to Mr. FordT said Sophy. "Til never speak to either of them again, if you don't mind. Sophy: I am perfectly well" "Oh!" said the sisters. "I was only dreadfuUy cross, and now I am dreadfuUy sorry, so please now dont talk any more about it." "We won't; we have something- to tell you; have had a letter from Max, and he wants to come over here for a few days; he says he muss have our signa tures to some documents, so we want to know if you will consent to his coming; it wfll be breaking- our rule that no man is to cross the threshold, but, as be is our brother, it won't matter to us." "And, as a rule has been broken every day for the last three weeks, it won't matter to me," said Enid. "So it has," said Grace; "I never thought of that, burthen a physician is a necessity." "So is a surgeon." said Sophy. "So is a lawyer sometiznes," said Enid. And so the lawyer came and there was no more temper. The evening he arrived Dr. May and Mr- Ford stayed to capper. "May, how long do yon intend to keep this game up?" said the lawyer as they smoked a pipe after the girls were gone to bed. "What gameT asked Mr. Ford. "The simple fracture of the tibia, I be lieve it & called," said the lawyer, going into peals of laughter, in which both his companions joined. "Poor old May, shell never forgive you, my dear boy," said Mr- Ford, as soon as he could speak. "And Sophy wfll never forgive you. Ford," said May. The doctors looked verv cast down at that "Need they ever know the truth?" asked Dr. May. "Not unless you like to teU them; at the same time, if you could manage to take those splints off Grace's leg to morrow, we might have aome pfrtjifH while I am here; I can only stay a week. If you two can undertake to manage that 111 undertake not to reveal the truth with regard to Grace's sprained ankle I beg-Sophy's pardon fractured tiba." On this basis some excursions were in augurated for the next few days, the splints were removed, and the patient, with Dr. May's assistance, managed to get in and out of carriages, and wander over sandy beaches and heather clad cliffs with wonderful grace and ease. The week made itself wixrgs. it flew so quickly. But art was neglected, sci ence snubbed and literature forgotten, while the faith lew brides caugiit shrimps and sand eels, scrambled over rocks and frrw-'n! in caves, drove through shady lanes and rested on moss clad cliffs, and were as happy as mortals could be. At last the day of reckoning came. "Sophy," said Grace one night, "truth is stranger than fiction." "Yes, dear, I know that." "So I have given up fiction, I mean literature." "They are notalways synonymous, but have you really done so?" "I have. and. what is more- fft May aaa anas me to marry him. I aW any no." "Oh, Grace, how dreadful! but it too, for Mr. Ford asked i tthe question, aad I anid yes."

Thiers' great speech at Versailles in 1373 both Deleae, the managing editor of The Times, and Blowitx were present. After the speech Mr. Delane remarked to the cor respondent what a. pity it was thar they had not been prepared for tnking down M. Thiers' most eloquent speech. Then, re marking thai scilied milk could not be gath ered op, he boarded the Northern, train for At that niece he took a. aaaaaaw on ia. Dover at day light the next morning. Here he met the morning express with papers from London. On picking ap a copy of The Times, he said afterward, he was almost overcame with surprise at finding the speech he had listened to the night before, word for word, aa it bad been delivered by the Frenchman. Delane telegraphed at once to Blowitz for an expla nation, and received a two word reply "From nieaiory."

During the last years of Eater's life he was totally bliad and consoled himself, as many other great readers have dene, by rehearsing verses by the hour, generally those cf either Huener or Virgil, two authors for whom he had especial respect So-Walter Scott's attainments in that di recticn were scarcely teas remarkable. After CaaspbeU had finished the well known lines entitled "LocaieFs Warning" he called on Sir Walter to get his opinion of the verses. "I read it to him in manuscript," said Campbell toCarrotherstiie'ectarer. "He then asked to read it over hinrlf, which he did slowly and distinctly, after which he handed me the ssaeaampt, saying. Take cars of your copy right; I have your poem by heart. " Thia waa certainly a. feat out of the ordin ary, but not to be compared with the eeTarts af the young lawyer mentioned by Maretaa. However one could justly pride himself, upon the consummation of such a task, as the poam cfintaina eighty-eight hmg lines.
