The Bessarabian News (Russian) pub- lishes a remarkable story of the fortune left at the beginning of the century by an Eng- lishman named Levi, resident in Bessarabia, to his widow and deposited by her in the Bank of England ie 1803. The fortune le said to have been untouched since then and to amount now to M10,000,000 ($300,000,000). Miss Humeris, au American, is said to have proved her right to one -forty-fifth of the sum. The remainder, says the News, will go to Anna Finkelstein, nee Levi, wife of a yeweller in kIsmail, ab the mouth of the Danube. It appears that young Craven brought the habit of turning his pantaloons up over -the boots from , s the Buffalo News. The fashion in London is to wear patent leather shoes, which are varnished when they lose their sheen. Varnish netur- ally sticks to and soils the trousers of the dudes. He therefore rolls up his trousers. That is all right, but why did Craven wear a colored shirt ? To be married in a colored shirt, creased and turned up panta- loons, upsets all preconceived ideas of ,what is proper in the line of gentlemen's 'full dress. Planting time is coming and it is high time you prepared your window . boxes and :=summer jardiniere.

For the boxes around your piazza choose rich cool greens and bright geraniums for the beds under- neath. Sunflowers to grow up beside and hide from view an unsightly fence, and sweet peas to grow in a sunny spot and fill the air with fragrance.

The will of the late James H. Heverin, the eminent criminal lawyer of Philadelphia, was written on a half sheet of note paper with a lead pencil, and reads : " This is my last will. I leave all my property to my wife, and make her my executrix." It was dated and signed, bur not witnessed, Thewill is valid according to Pennsylvania law. Mr. Hoverin's estate is valued at $20,000. The Rev. Dr. Fourthly (making a pastoral call)—It has been a long time, Mrs. Up- john, since 1 have seen Miss Bella at church. Mrs. Upjohn (shaking her head sadly)—I fear, doctor, Bella is incorrigible.

The first photograph of the human face was taken in the ball of 1839 by the late Professor J. W. Draper, but his earliest plates were destroyed by fire in 1839. In July, 1840, he sent to Sir John Herschel a daguerrotype portrait of his sister. The plate, which shotes a decidedly hand- some face, is in admirable preservation, and will form one of the exhibits at the World's Fair during the coming summer. According to Sir W. J. Herschel this is probably the oldest sun portrait now in existence. Mies Draper is still living, and may thus loos; upon the reflection ot what she was 53 years ago. A woman who experimented successfully in growing pansies tried this method. Take a box 3 inches deep by 10 wide, put rich dirt, with plenty of fine sand to the depth of an inch. Then set in egg shells in rows, first having broken away about a third of the shell at the top. Make a hole in each shell for drainage. Fill the box with shells and more dirt and plant two seeds in each shell ; keep moist in a warm, sunny place. When they have sprouted and grown large enough to transplant, take out the shells, crush each slightly, and plant in the garden. The roots can easily push through the shell es they expand and plant themselves firmly in the earth. A woman who raised cabbage and tomato planta for market tried this method with sueoess. Very miserable people are those who go through the world seeing too much. They plume themselves upon their ability, and proclaim everywhere the wonderful secrets their sharpsightedness has discovered. They find out email delinquencies and trifling offences of friends, neighbors and servants. We are not at all obliged to them for what they reveal. On the con- trary, says Harver's Bazar, we are continu- ally trembling lest our own pet sin be brought to light, or our friend's dear little secret weakness exposed. It is not hard to gain much peace of mind by studying the art of judloionsly shutting our eyes. Lot us refuse to see too much of other people's errors and mistakes. Nay, more, let us re- fuse to see anything except what we wish to see. The way is clear, the circumstances are fortunate, people are well-meaning and industrious, happiness abounds, and we our- selves are on the high road to fame and for- tune. A fool's paradise, you say? Perhaps. But I doubt if a fool's paradise is not better than the heaven of the people who would carry thither microscopes that they might discover its possible imperfections. BLAKE AND GLADSTONE.

Mr. Gtadetone, in replying to Mr. Blake, promised due ac- knowledgment of the congratulations to the respective senders. He continued : " In the meantime, ib adds to the interest with which I receive them that they reach me through the medium of one who has already done so much service to this great Imperial cause."

Sold by druggists. The British Marines Made a Great Impression. The proceedings to -day were managed by Gen. Louis Fitzgerald, of the New York State National Guard, and Commander 3. W. Miller, of the Naval Reserve, acting under the directions of Admiral Gherardi, and the committee of one hundred citizens appointed by the Mayor. Reviewing stands had been erected by the committee at Madison Square and at City Hall Park. From these stands the admirals and officers of the vessels in the river and other invited guests witneesod the parade. Hundreds of private stands had been erected all along Broadway, Fifth avenue and Forty-second street, and windows, baboon- ios and roofs along the route were utilized by the crowds who filled every place which commanded a view of the column. The decorations . along the line of march were not extensive, owing to the storm of yester- day interfering with the work of trimming the buildings. Governor Flower rode at the head of the procession, followed by details from the United States Army and Engineer Corps. Then came the admirals in carriages. The foreigners were escorted by ofBeera of our own navy. Following the carriages came the first division, consisting of United States sailors and marines. Commander White was chief of brigade, and Captain W. Spicer commanded the marines. These were from the Charleston, Chicago, York- town, Concord and Philadelphia, marohing in the wanks and resplendent in their showy dress uniforms. They were led by the Marine Band. In the second, third and fourth battalions were Uncle Sam's blue jackets from all of his ships in port. The second division was the one that interested the crowds on the street more than any other. It con- tained the sailors of the visiting fleets and the marines of Great Britain and Holland, the only two nations represented besides our own who have marines. First Dame the troops of Her Majesty the Queen. There were officers and amen 650 all told. Captain Hamilton, of the Blake, was in charge of the battalion. The British marines were resplendent in red jackets, blue trousers, with a narrow red stripe down the side, and black helmets topped with gilt. The band from the Blake led them. The British artillerymen wore blank jackets, blue trousers with a wide red stripe down the side, and little dinky caps with a yellow band and a strap under the chin. Her Majesty's blue -jackets wore the regulation blue sailor shirt, open low at the neck, blue trousers, very tight ab the hips and very wide at the ankle, and light straw hats. The Britons marched with precision and looked neither to the right nor lefb. They were cheered as they passed the reviewing stand and whenever they wheeled to turn a Bagley—Tall girls are all the rage now. Bract—That may bo, but I like short ones better. Bagley—Why so ? Brace—Pm generally short myself. "You may give me a milk shake," said Miss llteeoker to the soda -fountain man.

The London Satura'ajReview 'suggests the possibility of a brend.new profeasion. The world, deolares the Review, IS over -pope, lated with amiable, good-looking young men ; highly educated, healthy and wholly' incapable of earning their liveliboeds. No ingenuity can provide berths for all of them, bub some might be employed as " cutters - out," This is a new profession. The duties of the cutters -out are few, simple and agree- able. He or she has merely to make love and to ride away. Thus, put case that some one's daughter, niece, or, it may be, favorite cousin, has become engaged tea man who le nob liked or approved of by the family. To resieb her choice le futile. Op- position merely fans the flame of passion. So you send a note or telegram to the cen- tral office of the " Society for the Utiliza- tion of Johnnies," and they dispatch a outter-out He is young, handsome, agree- able, perhaps a lord, or an honorable, or a baronet very likely. His duty may be ex- plained in a word—he is to cab out the young lady's affianced lover, to make her out of conceit with that disagreeable person, and then to retire gracefully to sono out- landish part of the globe. The scheme is peculiarly valuable to parents, but anyone may make use of it. Of course, there may also be, and should be, female cutters -out, to be slipped at young men who have entangled their affections undesirably. Lord Algernon is fond of the rector's daughter, of the gardener's daughter, of whom you will. Instead of crying if you are his lady mother, or swearing if you are the Dake, you send up to the central depot for a really first-class cutter -out, married lady preferred. In a very few weeks the rector's daughter, or the gardener's daughter, is as disconsolate am Calypso, and then the cutter - out disappears, carrying with her the re- spectful homage of the family whom she has rescued. corner. Following the British came Argentine's representatives from the Nueva de Julio. They were less than 100 in number, and wore dark blue shirts, with white braid on the collar, and blue trousers. The officers wore long blue coats, blue trousers and caps with long front pieces. The Russian vessels sent 330 men and 15 officers. The battalion was in charge of Commander Stemman, and was in three companies. The band from the Rynda ac- companied them. The uniform was of blue,. with white and blue striped shirts and white caps, on the bands of which was the name (In Russian) of the ship to which the men belonged. The men carried muskets, with bayonets fixed. The Hollanders from the Vanspreyk came next. There were 40 marines in long-tailed blue coats and blue trousers, and 80 sailors in blue jackets, bine trousers and soft blue hats. The French ships had 300 men in line. They wore all blue jackets: The first com- pany was commanded by Lieut. Barden, of the Arethuse, and the second by Lieut. Malcoe, of the Jean Barb. The uniform was blue jackets, blue trousers and blue caps. Haversacks were carried. The French band set a lively step for the men. Germany followed on the heels of the French with 120 men under command of Lieut. Meyer, of the Kaiserin Augusta. They were all sailors, and their dress was very similar to that of our own blue jackets. The band of the German squadron accompanied them. Next came the Italians, headed by their band. Lieut. Lovera was in command and four jaunty midshipmen acted as aides. There were 100 men in line. They wore straw hats with brims flaring upwards, blue jackets and black trousers. The officers were in dark blue uniforms, with plenty of gold lace, and a distinctive light blue sash diagonally across the breast. The Spanish admiral sent no men ashore. Each body of foreigners was recognized by the flags carried by color -sergeant, and the m all.After t crowds cheered thee visitors h came the National Guard of the State of New York. Brig. -Gen. Louis Fitz- gerald and staff rode at the head. The naval reserves had the right of line and made a good appearance in their white duck suits. Next to them were the Massa- chusetts naval reserve. The signal corps of the First Brigade followed. Then came the guardsmen in the following order c Sixty- ninto Regiment, Eighth Regiment, Nine- tieth Regiment, Twenty-second Regiment, Twenty-third Regiment, Seventh Regiment, Twelfth Regiment, Seventy -Scat Regiment, First Battery, Second Battery. The column moved into Fifth avenue from Forty-second street and to Washing- ton Square, where a turn was made in front of the memorial arch, through Waverly Place to Broadway. Tho maroh down Broadway was a continued ovation to the foreign visitors. The admirals in carriages and the blue jackets on foot were cheered and saluted with waving flags and hand- kerchiefs. At City Hall Park Governor Flower left the column and with Mayor Gilroy and other city officials and visiting officers reviewed the column from the grand stand in front of the City Hall. After the parade the Governor and Mayor Gilroy received the visiting admirals and their officers in .the Governor's room of the City Hall. There was a collation at the City,Ha1l, and the junior off Dow' of the ship were entertained at the Waldorf. The militia swung out of column at the poet -office and went up Park Row a short distance and disbanded. The naval con- tingent'went down Broadway to the Bat- tery, whore they embarked for their ships. Tho weather was beautiful, and the whole affair passed off in the most successful and satisfactory manner 11.50 a. m.—President Cleveland has just left the City Hall for the train which is to convey him to Chicago.

A monster planing machine, which is be- lieved to be one of the Iargest and most comprehensive pieces of machinery of its kind in existence, has recently been built by a Leeds (Eng.) firm. It is capable of planing a block 30 feet long, 12 feet wide and 10 feet high over five oat of its six sides at one setting. It planes the top and sides of the block simultaneously with four cutting tools, two being carried by tool boxes on the cross slide and the other two being carried by toolboxes on each upright. These three sides are, therefore, planed by the ordinary longitudinal motion of the table and the ordinary, self-acting traverses of the tool boxes. For planing the ends of the block the ordinary arrangements would nob apply, bub on this machine there is in addition a cross -planing • motion to one of the tool boxes on the cross slide. When this is in action it givea a transverse out up to 12 feet long across the table of the machine, and the tool box will feed verti- cally down the work, or the table of the machine may be advanced by a self-acting longitudinal feed motion. As regards the area of cut, still referring to the sides of the cube, it may be said that the machine will plane a total surface ab one setting of 1,200 square feet. Of course, in ordinary work the capacity of the machine is useful, not for actually planing all these surfaces, but for covering the whole of their length and breadth, so as to be able to plane a surface here and a surface there on the sides, ends or top of a large casting at one sitting, thus insuring the true parallelism or squareness of all the tooled parte. Why She Chopped Them. They had been married ten year°, and one day when he came home from his office he found her with a great pile of old letters spread out before her, which she was chop- ping up with a cold slaw cutter. "Whab have you got there ?" he asked in surprise. " The letters you wrote to me when you were in college, and mind to you at the same precocious period." "'What are you chopping them up that way for ?" "Oh, just to get them out of the way?" " Why don't you burn them P" She smiled a queer, ante little smile. "I tried to, George," she said, " but they wouldn't burn ; they are too green." Teo Bad. A good many older persons who have been in difficult positions, and have felt that the world was really very hard, can sympa thize with little Flo Sanborn, of whom an exchange writes : She had been censuredby her mother for some small mischief which she had been engaged in.

"Ste,—There is one question of great public interest that I 'should like to see discussed in your ootumns—the ever-in- creasing difficulty marriageable girls meet with in finding huabande. I belong to the upper middle class, and I have received a brilliant education. My chief sin conaists in my having no dowry. I graduated from college at 18. I am a good musician ; I speak English, I can sew and I can cook and keep house. I am told I am pretty. In short, I am an ideal wife, and my mother has taken me out into society a good deal, not doubting for an instant that I should speedily find a husband.

In short, here I am still unmarried and nearly 21. I am tired of dancing, I am tired of exhibiting my charms for the gratification of adoles- cente. It is clear no one wants me without a dowry. " Now, I ask you, what future is there for a young girl in my position ? I cannot go on the stage, for I have nob the artistic temperament. I cannot take up medicine, for it is revolting to me. Teaching is no good, for there are as many professors as pupils in the schools already, and as to business, that is not considered respectable. What can I do ? Must I go on practicing at my piano four hours a day and trans- lating English exercises? Perhaps when I am a confirmed old maid I can get a place as houeekeeper to some gouty and repentant old bachelor. But what can I do in the meantime 1" The whole of Manhatten Island was pur- chased from the Indians for 60 Dutch gliders, " some of them," it is said, "being of a doubtful metal."

The editor was nonplussed and submitted the Ietter to Dumas the younger, who re- plied thus : " I confess at the start that such a young girl as your correspondent seems to be does not interest me much. She reproaches her parents for having given her a brilliant education without being able to supplement it with a dowry, and this seems to me very ungrateful, although I am well e.ware that one of the first symptoms of the marriage- able girl is ingratitude toward her parents. "Your correspondent is not yet 21, and she thinks it an extraordinary and alarming state of affairs that she is still single. She has danced and perspired a good deal in the arms of a number of young men to whom her excellent mother has given her, more or less decollete, and she is surprised that none of these young men, initiated into her bodily charms and aroma, should have asked her hand in marriage. This young girl is very naive and very ignorant for one who has her diploma. "Her professor of philosophy cannot have told her much about men or else she would know that they are not so foolish as many women think them, and that those who make good husbands do nob go and seek wives in ballrooms, where young girls ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE RUGGED instinct that prevents him from making & marriage that will embitter his 'whole • life.

The gouty old bachelor that you count on as a lash resort will fail you, too. When he le 50 he will marry au old mistrese who has been patient with: him, or he will content himself with hist servant girl who has fixed his mustard plasters. When he dies he will leave her an annuity of a few hundred franca and he will die a much happier man than if he had married you. If you had given the matter a little more consideration than you have done you would see that this bachelor,, whom your kind think selfish, has taken the best path in life, and the one nearest toe Limb of the fathers of the Church, who nearly all died bachelors, whioh would seem to prove that marriage is not always*. considered supreme felinity by superior minds. "In short, you are uneasy as to your future and you want advice. Ib is too Iate You have gone too far on the bad way. Your ideas of life are all false and it ni too late to correct them. The men that you. would marry will not marry you and those, that would marry you are not good enough, for you. You cannot marry without ea dowry. Why should you expect to when you�expect your husband to have money ? No, get hold of some money and you will have as many offer as you could wish. Your suitors will not amount to much, but they will RAVE TWO LEGS AND LOOK LIKE MEN' and that will spare you the humiliation of being an old maid. You see I am not at all sorry for you and I predict much greater misfortune for you and your kind 1f you persevere in your present tactics. " Thia longing to enjoy life without fir costing anything and by man's intervention is the first step in the wreck of a woman's goodname. The legal benefactor is first sought for, and if he is not to be found. yon accustom yourself by degrees to the ideas of the other kind. Youth is so short, poverty is so sad and contemporary' morality so complacent. The hypothesis of an old husband, rheumatic and, rich, is already a concession to solicita- tions of on inferior order. I am con- vinced that young girls of modest means will find it harder and harder to make the rich marriages they dream of, and that many of them, unless they make -a supreme effort in the direction of right and. virtue, will go to well the ranks of the, fallen. WORK NOT TO BE DESPISED. " To be entirely frank, I hold out Boa hope for you. Your principles are bad. You despise work which brings help in the greatest distress, consolation in the greatest: sorrow. " Yon don't think work is respectable. Yon are mistaken. This old world of turn is going to pieces, and a now society will arise, based on equality and labor for all. Do not count on men, young girls ; count - on yourselves. Do not despise art, science, industry, commerce, which represent life and are the basis of all society. Seek in all, four what we men have found in them—o real value that is lacking in your gowns, soirees and dances. That is the best way to find a husband, if you still want one when you amount to something, which is not certain, for your present great desire to get married is only the result of your educa- tion, which has incapacitated you from. doing anything else.
