IIOpolCHH. Detroit Free Press : "And you don't think anything ean bo done for mo , doc tor ? " > ' * v- ' - - > - What a world of pathetic entreaty there was in the trembling voice that spoke the pleading words ! Ono thin , white hand was lifted weakly and laid imploringly on the doctor's arm as he sat by the little white bed in the woman's want of a city hospital. "I'll take anything you want to give me , doctor ; I'll stand any kind of an operation without a murmur if you'll only try to save me , doctor. " " 1 will try , " said tiio old doctor kindly , but those that hoard him say it know that there was no hope for the poor young girl who had been brought in bruised and bleeding from the city streets. "A feller tcarin' down the street witli a fast team run over her as she turned tiio corner , " the man said who brought her in and laid her down witli just a little spark of lifeleft , m the frail little body that had for'year's been buflotti-d about on the sea of advoriity beneath the waves of which so many human barks go down. Her pricked fingers told that she was a seamstress. Her thin and faded gar ments told that she was poor. "I'll tell you how it is , Doctor , " she said , entreatingly. "I don't mind it for myself. If there was only mo I wouldn't ask you to try to pull mo through , but oh , doctor , doctor , there's mother and little brother Jim and baby Ruthie. I'm all they've got to take care of 'cm. Mother hasn't set a whole day for years , Jim's only live years old and tlio baby is just oid enough to walk. Father died in tlio spring , and as I've said I'm ' all thcy'vo got , so you sco 1 can't die , doctor ; 1 mustn't die yet. You will save mo , won't you , doctor ? " "If lean , " said the doctor in that same hopeless tone. The thin white hand stroked his coat gently ; the weak , childish voice -ran on. "I don't know what would become ol mother nnd the children if you couldn't save mo. Jimniic is real good , and does everything he can ; but he's only live years old , and you know ho can't do much. Poor little fellow ! He'd bo so sorrj for sister if ho know slio'd boon hurt. Now , doctor , please get me up just as soon as you can. won't you ? You know it's coming Christmas time , anil 1'vo promised Jiminie a pair of new boots , sure. 1 must get them in some way. How soon cnn 1 go about my work ? " "Don't think ot that now , " said tlio doctor , gravely. "But 1 must think of It doctor. See there's only GO cents in my purse , ami that's all there is in the world between us and starvation tiiat nnd mo. I'vegol steady work now until January , and 1 can't lose a day or Jimmy wan't get those boots. I-I " Her eyes closed wearily. The white hand fell listlessly from the doctor's sleeve. Her mind wandered. "I'll ' bo sure to get them , Jimmy , dear , " she said tenderly. "Bo a good boy always when sister Is away , and mini mother and baby carefully. 1 ou'ro sue ! a little helper to sister ; you how am 1 now doctor ? " Ho bent tenderly over nor , but said nothing. There were tears in his eyes and his boarded lip trembled. "Is her case quite hopeless ? " whispcrci an attendant , stepping softly toward the bed. bed.Tho The doctor lifted a finger warninijly , and bent closer to the white face.

The Monument , tn ills Mqmbry Ills Friendship for'x the Colonial States Ills Mementoes of Washington. Washington Correspondence of Clove- and Lender : At this tliuu any now mat er relating to General Lafayette will bu ntcrcsting. Congress has muilo an ap- ) ropriatU > n for a statue of him , and the committee looked ever a number of uodols shortly after congress adjourned. Nothing conlil bo moro appropriate than ncli a statue , and it "Is fitting ttiat tlio Jnlted States of to-day , should bear in niiul the great services of tlds French icro of the past. Lafayette was ono of ho first Frenchmen to come to the aid of ho United States in the revolutionary struggle. Ho llttcd out a yacht at ills own expense , and left Franco to sail for \merica after the king forbade him. iVhon ho arrived at Philadelphia ho told congress that ho wanted only two tilings. The first was that he might servo at his own expenses , and the second that ho night start out as a volunteer , llo was only nineteen years old at this time , but ongrcss made him a major general , ho reported himself to General Washington , lie did good service in the war , led the ittack at JMonmouth , and was badly wounded at Hrandywino His expenses during his trip to the United States amounted to nearly $150- 000 or 700,000 francs. Ho loft the United states only becar.se war had broken out jctwcon Franco and Kngland and ho thought it his duty to go back to the aid of his own country. Ho was always a strong friend of the United States in after life and ono of his favorite projects was that Kngland should bo invaded and Paul Jones should command ttio navy , while he should have command of our army. Ho helped the United States much in secnrintr money and friends in Franco , and to the day of his death ho considered himself as much a clti/.cn of Ids adopted country as his own. Wo have t park here at Washington named after him. It is directly ouposito the white liouse. It is ono of Uin ploasuntcst rest ing places in the heart of the capital. One of the best paintings of Lafayette is that which hangs in the house of rep resentatives. It was painted by Ary Shelter , and the artist took a sketch for it of Lafayette as 'ho ' lay upon his death bed. Ho was aided also by a sketch which Lafayette's eldest daughter made at this time , and 1 suppose by the plaster cast which was made by the sculptor David. The other day I came across a timeworn - worn volume of "Recollections of Lafay ette , " by a Frenchman who was to him what Boswcll was to Johnson. The book has long since been out of print. It was published during the presidency of An- ilrew Jackson , and at about ttio time of Lafayette's death. The author describes Lafavtitto as being exactly like the pic ture wliich hangs'm our house of repre sentatives. Ho was tall and well proportioned tioned , portly but not fat. His head was large and his faeo oval and regular. His forehead was lofty and open and his eyes were largo and prominent. They were of a grayish blue and full of goodness and spirit. They were surmounted with light and well arched but .not- bushy eye brows. His nose was aquiline , Ills month smiling , Ills complexion clear , , and his cheeks rosy. At the ttgdolsevonty-sovcn not a wrinklofurrowed his countenance. He had a strong and vigorous constitu tion and kept his good health to the last. He was simple in dress and was remark ably clean and neat in his person. Ho was very punctual in keeping his ap pointments , was highly cultured anil a great reader. Ho was fond of the coun try and liis homo at Lagrange , situated about forty miles from Paris , was ono of the pleasantest estates in Franco. This homo wasat the time of his death , filled with mementoes of his love for the United States , and ho had many relics which would bo invaluable if they could be made a part of our National museum. From this old Frenchman's recollections I am able to give you the sketches of some of these. They are reproduced as he sketched them at the time of Lafayette's life. Among the souvenirs of Ganoral \\tisliingtpnwhlcli Lalayette preserved with religious ca're wusan , , ivory-handled pair of eyeglasses , in6iritcll in allver.and used by Washington during the latter years of his life. On ono side of the ivory handle on a silver shield is en graved the word "Washington , " and the two eyeglasses are moro like those of a pocket microscope than anything oiso. We all know that Washington had false teeth , but this is the lirst time that I have iicard of his using eyeglasses. He carried , also , a sun umbrella or par asol , and Lafaycttu had ono of these. It is described as a long handled parasol with an ivory top. "which the illustrious president of the United St.itcs usually at tached to his horse's saddle to protect himself from the burning rays of the sun. " Another ruhc was a piece of ta pestry embroidered by Mrs. Washington at the ago of seventy. It represented shells , and Lafayette used it as a cushion cover. Lafayette visited tills country m 1821 , and it was at this time that congress granted him fl'00,000 and a township of land in payment for the money which lie had given to the United States in the war of the revolution. During this time ho visited Mount Vernon , and while George Washington P.irkn distil * gavohun a ring in winch were locks of the hair of George Washington and his wife's braided together gether- The chestnut hair in the middle of the ring is Washington's and the white hair on each side that of his wito. Around the hair are the words 'pater patni- , ' and on the bides 'Mount Vornon.1 Ho also had Washington's decoration of tl-c Cincinnatus , and ho hud a cano which Franklin used to carry. Franklin's granddaughter sent Lafayette a tiiu in which were the hair and cipher of Frank lin. It was used as a scarf or shirt pin , and is undoubtedly genuine , lint it will perhaps surprise the people of to-day that Franklin was so yam as to use any thing of the kind. During his visit to ttio United States , Lafayette was given a suit of clothes by the people of the Carolinas , and it was thought a great tiling then that those clothes were of home manufacture. The coat had gold buttons and thc e were ornamented with the face of Washing ton. Lafayette IK-.OI ! habitually a sea ! which contained the head of Washing ton surrounded by rays , and ho hud two swords given him wliilu ho was in the United Slati'H. One was given by the Ninth artillery regi ment , of New York , and it hud a handle of ivory surmounted by at eagle's head ot carved gold. The olhei was prcsuntpd to him by congress , ami 1 am able to give you s.ketnhcs of thu blade of this. Us handle ami mounting were of massy gold , admiral ) ! } ' carved , am presenting a variety of subjects. It was given to Lufuyetto by Franklin's grand BOD , on the part of the American con gress , us testimony of gratitude for the services which ho had rendered the nation. Lufayctto died at seventy-seven. His life was a most eventful ono throughout and even ins enemies admitted his great uess and his honosty. Ho named ids mi alter George Washington , and his grand sous tigurcd. in French politics as re pub llcans. His son , George. nsliington Lafayctto , came with him during' his last visit to the United States in 1821 ; and ha partook with him of the honors which Lafayottco received as the "national guest. " This journey throughout the United States lasted a lull year.and it was a perfect ovation. Cityvillage and hnm- let poured out their inhabitants enmasso to meet him , and ho visited all the states then composing the union. He stopped a few weeks at the white house , lust be fore lie leftand during tills time no made the trip to .Mount Vernon , above spoken of , and also visited ox-Presidents Jell'er- sonMadison nnd Monroe at their respec tive estates. Hn left for Franco Septem ber 7 , 18'J5 , and President John Qulncy Adnms made a speech of farewell. Ho replied , closing his remarks with these words : "God bless you , sir , and all that sur round you. God bless tlio American pco pie , each ot their states , and their federal govertinientl Accept this patriotic fare well with an overflowing heart. Such will bo Its last throb when it ceases to beat. " Lafayette was burled in Franco in n private cemetery in Paris in 1831. Whether his remains have been removed or not 1 do not know. FltANK G. CAUl'UXTKK. THE GIRL WITHOUT A PERIOD.
