A malicious paragrapher says Stanley Mat¬ 
thews will not sleep alone In a room with an Ink- 
stand In It. 
Miss Fanny Washington Finch, the great- 
grand-niece or Washington, and supposed to be 
his nearest living relative, Is keeping a boarding¬ 
house at Washington, and has recently had her 
furniture attached by a landlord for rent. 
Matt. Carpenter got $1,000 from tho Detroit 
liquor dealers to study up the constitutionality 
of the Michigan Liquor Law. He did study up 
and sent his opinion lately. It was very brief 
and to this effect, “You can't break the 
law.” 
The ex-Empress Eugenia is described by a cor¬ 
respondent at Ems aa “ sick and sadder than 
ever.” She travels under the name of Countess 
of Plerrefonds, and has for her suite the Duchess 
of Mouchy and tbo Marquis of Fiennes. She baa 
some trouble with her legs (wicked tongues say it 
Is the gouf) and cannot walk without leaning on 
a heavy cane. 
The late Cardinal Franchl was a charming 
table talker, and after keeping all the table In 
a roar while upon a visit to Cardinal Manning, 
scandalized his host by taking out bis cigar-case 
and offering cigars all around. He was not en¬ 
thusiastic about the conversion of England to 
Catholicism. “It will not come in our day.” he 
said, “not till we canonize Saint Mammon.” 
Mrs. Mackay, wlto of the Bonanza King, has a 
sapphire which was once the property of a Rus¬ 
sian prince, and It cost her $150,000. it is an Inch 
In diameter. Iter pearl necklace cost $ 100 , 000 , and 
her coral set coat $ts.00t>, Those few articles of 
Jewelry—these trifling aids to woman’s vanity— 
represent the work of 595 meo tor one wnole 
year at the liberal wages of $t .50 a day each. 
Madame Mackay comes from California—and so 
does Kearney, the denouncer of bloated capital¬ 
ists. 
Prince Napoleon had a narrow escape whllo at¬ 
tending an agricultural exhibition In Sweden. In 
company with tbe King he was examining some 
macninery and had approached olose to an en¬ 
gine, which unexpectedly was set in motion, and 
some parts of the engine caught the clothes of 
the Prince, who would undoubtedly have been 
drawn into tbe wheels If the King had not, with 
great presence of mind, instantly himself stopped 
the engine. As it was tho Prince had his clothes 
torn to pieces. 
An incident Illustrating den. Grant’s retentive¬ 
ness of memory Is told. Several years asro. when 
The Dederlck Patent Hay Press 
and Patent Bale. 
I HAVE no dr],fro to enter Into any controversy with 
a manof tho calibre of Mr. Ertel, except through 
the courts, but to tile public Ideslre to?ay that, be alludes 
to an article I published, warning all interested of the 
Infringement and u*e ol eight of my patents tu the 
press ho advertises, and that I should hold the pur¬ 
chaser liable, nil of which I propose to do. I did this to 
prevent Innocent, persons becoming parlies to a steal, 
ami as both said Ertel and myself now offer to furnish 
copies of our patents, then; Is no occasion for further re¬ 
mark, except to request Interested parties to send for 
them, ami learn who lies and swindles, ami I offer a pre¬ 
mium of one of tbe host Hay Presses In the world to any 
man t cannot satisfy of the truth of all I assert. 1 will 
r.nw state further, and will produce tho letters to sub¬ 
stantiate, that, utthe request of said Ertel, I sent, him 
copies of fifteen of my patents, which he kept, about a 
month, and It. was not. until after this that ho produced 
Ids new press, uud which tils letter, returning my pat¬ 
ents, states he meant to try to make, and which should 
have been an easy thing,seeing that the entire press 
proper was Illustrated and described tn those letters pat. 
cut of mine which he studied alien r. a month. Now, If ho 
will hoist the Communist, ting again, appropriate and ap¬ 
ply the balance of mv Improvements on that class of 
press, in order to do good wurk, he will then have one of 
my rlieap presses, which I otter at less price than he docs 
the imperfect machine. Of course his applications for 
‘patents were roloctod on my prior patents, as the re¬ 
cords will show, ami he was compelled tocoiiflne his 
claims to n tew little traps bo attached, uud which gives 
hlpn no authority to use my p.conted press In applying 
them. I introduced this manner r>( pressing ami bale 
against the opposition of nil others, and have succeeded, 
to the great benefit of the op (If* buy Interests of tbe 
country. I have patented the machine,the bale, and 
the entire process of making It, and a raid on ull by such 
who opposed It is Communism with a vengeance. My 
redress is against either tbo maker, seller or user, as I 
choOSe. The user damages me most, by tho dirty, ragged, 
contraband bales of my patented form and construction, 
put upon the market. Judging trout the reckless man¬ 
ner he warps the truth lu his article, I should say that, 
Krtel’s promises of protection to his customers would 
need some further assurance In ivearil to his word and 
ability, even admitting the fact that his customers are 
few, and his citing bio as reference to Ills responsibil¬ 
ity is a mistake, as 1 have never received any such 
Information on tho subject, I notice that he does not 
deny Infringement, which is singular, considering that 
his entire article is a tissue of falsehoods. 1 guarantee 
to furnish presses lower In price and cheaper at price than 
any other presses as a gift, or no sale. Address for de¬

Senator Chrlstlancy Is elderly even for his

and has many children; and some Washington 
people think that It was a doubtful rise for his

and married him, with her dowry of youth and 
good looks and young love. To her credit It Is 
said that she has not forgotten her old mates In 
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Those 
with whom she was Intimate In her working days 
still visit her with the old confidence and inti¬
