"When ESruerlish cricket elevens come to PhfladeTphia, Phliladelphians meet the deficit; when the Cambridge university trflk team came to Nev York a few veajps aero to meet Yale. Yale men made good! the cost. The American always pays his own way in full wherever ihe goes and hon or to him for It. The En.gaishimlain in his athletic relatione with America has never yet done so.

At a convenient point a halt was made, and one of the priests de livered an address. When, ithe procession returned to the churcih, bringing with it a lartge crowd, the other priest mounted the steps and told the people what a nice service they were going to have (in side.

A Sam Francisco telegram says that Willd-am Seel, the blanker who died re cently in San Rafael, Cal., leaving an esftate of $100,000, often, expressed an aversion to ministers, and his will, just filed for probate, proves that Ihe meant what he ga,id.

In the letters of Alfred Dreyfus which have recently been brought out in an English translation, by Hiarper & Broth erg, it is revealed that Captain Dreyfus; when all hope seemedf lost, was resolved to commit suicide, and that be was cmly restrained from this purpose bythe'eii- jtreaties of his' wife - She exacted from 'him. the promise that whatever came, however hopeless and humiaiating ih's lot) might become, thtait he would continue to live for her sake. The letter which was written iq connection. 'with this purpose shows how keenly Dreyfils was suffering, and what an effort the promise mut have cosit him. "I will not tell you;" he writes, "what I havesuffeired today. Your grief is great enough already. I will not aug ment it. "In promising you to live, In promis ing you to resist until my name is rehab ilitated, I have made the greatest sacri fice that a man of deep feeling of heart. an upright man, worn wnom nis nonor has been-'fcaken, can make.
