"What there is in -Robert Els mere' that people find to say so much about, I cannot see," she said to me the other day, "and as to the ministers who are spending their time preaching about the story, 1 think it would be much better if they would confine themselves to their Bibles and commentaries for the Sunday discourses. "It is a book with a strong Unitarian tendency. Robert himself is a nambypamby sort of character; Catherine is a bard Calvinist, who leads a double life as far as her religion is concerned, and as to the his character is not worth discussing, Before I bad read the story," she continued, "a friend told me that she had read it six times, and I thought if I am going to be as fascinated as that I must wait until I have plenty of leisure at command, so that it is only recently that I have read the story, and I must say that one perusal has satisfied me." She agrees with the author that the story is entirely unsuited for theatrical presentation, and wonders that anyone should hare attempted to dramatise it. "Mrs.

Ward, I understand, has been invited by a newspaper syndicate to come to this country. hetber she comes to lecture or to write the great American novel I do not know." In regard to Little Lord Fauntleroy," Mrs. Ueecher thinks it a pretty story, but that it hardly possesses sufficient material upon Which to found a drama and that it has met with such success upon the stage, thinks is in a great measure due to the charming acting of the little Lord and Lady Fauntleroy. She considers "Thai Lasso' LowrieV a strong novel. In regard to that much talked about story "The or the Dead," she does not hesitate to express her utter disapproval most forcibly.

I remarked that the only redeeming part of the story to me was the photograph of the authoress which formed the frontispiece of the magazine in which the story was Eublished and represented anything ut a coarse woman. said Mrs. Beecher, rather abruptly, "one cannot judge anything bv a photograph." "I was asked not long she said, "to write a paper about 'The People I Have but I value their feelings too much to make them the subjects of newspaper articles. Not long ago some editor me to write something for hi" magazine about Florida. This I shall do as soon as I can find the time." The first thing Mrs.

Beecher ever wrote for publication was in she was lying on a sick fcci. and to pass awav the time she wrote what afterwards grew into the story "From Dawn to Daylight." These were stories of Western life, many of them drawn from her own experience. The sheets of paper upon wbirh the storv was written were thrown into a bureau drawer, without any thought on the part of the writer of ever making any use of them; but one day her daughter, a young girl about 12 years old, came across the manuscript and became so much interested in the story that she lagged her mother to have it published. "And for that, my first production, i received $0)0, she added. Not long ago the manuscript of a story was sent to ber, accompanied by a note iu which the writer declared in no venr polished terms, that the rich should help the poor, and that as she was very indeed but whether it was a ton of coal or a new bonnet she was in pursuit of was not mentioned she wanted Mrs.

lieecher to get her manuscript published in some 'magazine. and that if she succeeded in doing so would "make it all right with her." "And what did you do?" "I threw her "letter in the waste basket and the manuscript I returned to the author. No were enclosed. The latest effusion was a ridiculous rhyming letter from some one who wanted mv opinion as to her ability as a poetess." For fourteen vearc Mrs. Beecher has conducted the household department of a fashionable magazine, and on subjects pertaining to housekeeping she is an authority.

"We hare heard much lately about the restricted sphere of women. We have been told how many among women are of a wider, "stronger, more heroic mold than befits the mere routine of housekeeping. It mav be true that there are many women far too great, too wise, for" mere housekeeping. But where is the woman in any way too great or too high, or too to spend in creating a home? What can any woman make diviner, higher, From such homes go forth all heroisms, all inspirations, all great "A rare gift to man is a wife who possesses the rare power of- what for want of abetter term I will call the economy of beauty.

BCCtmo ODER COTXB. A altar to WUdk Soaae PaopU lirnt to Manias Boston Hkrali While in the postmaster room in the Boston postoffice, the writer's attention was attracted by an impression which an official was placing on the back of a bunch of letters in red ink by means of a hand stamp. The impression read: Received under cover at the postoffice.

When his apparently agreeable task was finished the reporter began to inquire into the philosophy of the thing. receive a great many letters under rover." began the officiii. "to be forwarded in the mail. Most of these letters.

I suspect. are sent by the class of people who indulge in anonymous communications. Ignorant of the regulation of the postal service, which requires such letters to be stamped at the office from which they are dispatched to the addresses, the senders imagine the recipients can be deceived by resorting to this crafty device. To be sure, all who send letters in this way are not prompted by a malicious purpose. Frequently the sender incloses a note to the postmaster.

giving bis or her name, and explaining the reason for forwarding the letter under cover. Many people do it as a joke or for the purpose of mystifying the receiver." "Do people at whose expense this stamp is used ever object?" "Quite often. A person in Portland, for instance, who sends a letter here addressed to a perhaps an the saraecitv is likely to be found out when the adaressed is put in possession of the fact that the letter originated in Portland. In cases of this character we have received scolding letters from the victims, who invariably regard the use of the stamp as a shameful outrage. I recollect the case of a doctor in a Massachusetts city who became so enraged at having his letter stamed in this way that he threatened to have the postmaster reported at Washingtdn.

At short time ago a woman in New York city did a good deal of vehement protesting against the stamping of her letters. Sbe sent a letter and a postal card to this office under cover, and of course each of them was regularly stamped as being received foom New York city. They were both addressed to persons living in the same street in New York. The letter being sealed we knew nothing of the contents, but the postal card purported to have been written by a man to his wife. He wrote his wife" that he had just arrived at a certain in this city, and this intelligence was followed by a remark about some old he accidentally met at the hotel.

It was plain that the of the postal was to create some trouble between a man and his wife. In a couple of days a letter of denunciation was received from a person who was evidently the sender, and whose mischief had evidently traced home. Nothing daunted by her discomfiture this woman afterward inclosed other letters to a hanking house in this city with a request to drop them in the postoffice. A representative of the firm brought them to the postmaster's room, when the handwriting was readily identified. The house returned them to the sender.

"Another jeason for sending letters in this way is that people sometimes like to make others nelieve that thev are in places remote from where they actuallv are. A man wrote from Topeka. inclosing six postal cards addressed to as many young ladies in Leavenworth. In an explanatory note the sender stated that he was "a resident of Leavenworth, was tempoarily visiting in Topeka. and that he wanted young lad friends to think he was in Boston.

The postal cards bore the information that lie had ascended Bunker Hill monument, had seen the old state-house and the old South church, and that he had acquired a fund of knowledge about Boston the recital of which would greatly interest his friends on his return to Kansas It must have been made pretty hot for the fellow when he sprung his recollections of Hunker Hill on the girls on his return to Leavenworth. We have some regular customers. An individual in (jfoton, sends regularly under cover letters for the great and ruightv of the earth. He rarely addresses a letter to an official ranking lower than a United States Senator or a foreign ambassador. He is evidently a fellow who gives tips in diplomacy." Rebuked.
