Norton was accused of criminal Intimacy itli Lord Melbourne, then prime minister, but was on trial acquitted. Then she obtained from the court a separation from htr husband, but without divorce. Thereafter she devoted herself assiduously to literature. She had written, tit the age of twelve years, it clever satire called "The Dandies' Iiout," and before her seventeenth birthday she published, anonymously, a tale called "The Sor-rows'of llosalte," which was enthusiastically praised by James Hogg and Christopher North. In 1830 she published "A Voice Ironi the Factories," a poem; and on the birth of the Prince of Wales she wrote a poem called The Child of tho Islands," in which she pleaded for the lowly and suffering.

Her first novel was "Stuart of Dun-leath," published In 1S47. p.y her marriage with Mr. Norton she had two sons, one of whom is dead. The other son Is now Lord rant ley. Mrs.

Norton married in herald ago, on the 1st of last March. Sir William Sterling-Maxwell, Hart, member of Parliament for Perthshire, who had been her close personal friend for more than thirty years. The bride of the time was seventy years of age, and confined ton her bed with rheumatism. Sir William Maxwell was fi ty -years of age religions fight with each other.

After the cravings of the appetite had been fully satisfied again, the luxurious coueii of the Pullman palace car was sought, and nothing further was known until the next morning when I awoke to find tho car standing on a side track at South Pueblo. After breakfast the enjoyment of the trip commenced far to the cast might be seen tho snowy tops of the Spanish peaks, to the west in the dim distance, Pike's Peak loomed up in all its grandeur. At 7 o'clock, we were taken In charge by the officers of the Denver Rio Grande Railroad, and with them started for the HrailEST AI.TITL'DE ever attained by a railroad in tho United States. The distance was seventy miles, but a number of our country cousins weremaklngextraordinary bets that they could walk there in something less than a day. We passed through several thriving towns.

An employe who doesn't drink more than twenty glasses a day Is considered economical. Many go up to fifty or sixty, and there are some who boast of a capacity for one hundred.

The business of supplying drugs ta Ihe beer men has become quite large.

The brewers admit the use of drugs, but maintain that the beer Is Improved by them rather than Injured. Tho different kinds of beer are so well known that any steady Imbiber can tell at a sip whose beer he is drinking whether it is Ehret's, Ituppert's, loelger's, Claussen's, or some other. Some of the brewers use Criiton water, paying an immense tax for It yearly, ami others get water from artesian wells.

On Friday night ho returned home, but she and a young man named Gris-wold, a legislative official, had taken passage for New York in the steamer Dean Kiehmond. The husband took the train on Saturday, and went to the metropolis on a mission of vengeance. Delleving that the pair did not intend to stay, lie gained the Dean Richmond before its time for leaving, and watched thoso who came aboard.

He finally saw approaching his wife and Oris wold. They secured room 79, and entered, and Thorne took up his place near by. Soon he sawGriswold. As he did so the husband drew a revolver, but did not lire for fear of killing some one else, and before opportunity offered he was siezed, and the gallant was rushed oil' to another room out of reach of the husband's vengeance. On the arrival of the boat at this ciiy, the husband was taken off by a friend, Griswald seized the opportunity t- get home, and the wife sought consolation with a friend.

Tho London Times recalls an event in history which affords a curious parallol to the recent action of the president of Franco. In one of his quarrels with Parliament upon a municipal, Charles X. dismissed M.

de Martignac from office and gave the power to Prince Pol-ignac. The chamber protested, and he prorogued it. The press then protested, and he answered with a dissolution and a personal appeal to the country, and. the country replied by electing a chamber more hostile to the court than the other. The result was revolution.

Writing from Constantinople of (lie proclamation of the seige by the government, a correspondent of the New York Times says: Before commenting on the nature of this act and indicating its probable consequences, 1 will briefly recount the circumstances which immedintely preceeded it, and, at all events, precipitated it. On Wednesday evening before the breaking up of the chamber of deputk which sat that day (as it does most of Its time) with closed doors, some of the members asked the president whether he had any authentic information to give relative to the fall of Ardahun, of which the official paper had only, after four days' silence, confirmed the iact, without any further details than that it was an evacuation in face of an immensely superior force, to which the garrison had made a heroic resistance, whereas the Turkish papers had spoken of the affair as a miserable surrender, the result of cowardice, or tra-son. The president observed or rather suggested that the chamber might "invite" the ministers to appear the next day, in order to give explanations. A message to that eltect was accordingly sent to the porte, and the chamber thereupon decided that its sitting of the morrow, originally intended to be private, should be public. Several Inferior members of the government did appear on Thursday in the ministerial gallery, but Redif Pasha, the minister of war, who was especially wanted, and had been particularly named was conspicuous for his absence.

The "order of the day" was tho continuation of the discussion on the provincial municipal law, which, though a subject interesting to the great majority of the deputies, could scarcely fix nffantinn rf anv nf them nverv Mark Twain.

His face fairly gleamed with expectancy as he drew forth one end of the treasure, the lady holding on to the other end, and he was about to propound a leading question when the bundle unrolled, disclosing a bifuscated garment richly trimmed with laecs, pointing to which the lady eagerly asked: "Will this do up?"

Just before dusk we got away from Topeka, and started on our nights run over the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad. The night was spent in a Pullman car, and the entire outfit was in the land of dreams until the train neared Hutchison. This town presented a truly pitable sight, water was running through the principal streets and most of the inhabitants had left their residences. Nothing worthy of note occurred again during the day, until about fifteen miles east of Dodge City we met a special train, bearing the EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION of Illinois. Our train was stopped, and the party greeted the brains of Illinois with music ami cheers.

About fifteen minutes was spent in speech-making, when we were again ordered aboard, and with our faces toward the setting sun bade farewell to all cares, and spent the time until Dodge City was reached with songs and jokes. Col. Colley met the party, and those who desired were shown the inside workings of the "Long Branch" tho optics being strengthened by peering through glass at an angle of forty-five degress.

The first brewery was established in Philadelphia in 1840.

Two years later F. and M. Schaofer introduced the business in New York. It is now one of tho most important industries in the city. There are thirty-seven lager-beer breweries in the city aH burbs, and they turn out over a million barrels in the course of the year.

The beer made by George Khret is considered the best; at all events, there is more demand for it than for any other. Ehret sold 132,000 barrels in 1876; Ituppert ranks next as an extensive manufacture, his prod net the same year being 74,000 barrels. The Schaefers, who introduced the business, sold 4.3,000 barrels.

I am certain that no man succeeds so well in the world as he who, taking a partner for life, makes her a partner of his purposes and hopes. What ia wrong of his impulse or judgment, she will check and set right with her almost universally right instincts. And what she most craves and most deserves is confidence, without which love is never free from a shadow, it down.
