When painting the pictures for the Capuchins, Murillo dwelt iu their con vent nearly three years, it is said, with out once leaving it. He painted for these monks twenty pictures with life size figures, and several smaller works. Seventeen of these are now in the Mu M'lim of Seville, for the monks had the wisdom to end their pictures to Cadi, for safe-keeping before the "l'lundcr m ister-gencral of Napoleon," as So-ill .has been called, coul I reach them. When the French wars were ended, the pictures were returned to Seville. 1 can not speak of them separately, but will ay that the M.ulo'iua called "LaVirgen le la Servilleta." or the Virgin of ihe Napkin, now in the Mii-eiun. lias thi pretty story connected with it. The legend is that the cook of ill ' convent grew very fond of Murillo (luring his long service to ihe artUt, and when the time came for them to be separated, the cook begged the painter for a keepsake. The painter said he had no canvas left; the cook tu'ckly gave him a mipMn and asked him to use that; wit li his usual good nature, Murillo absented, and soon ainted this pie uiv, which is now one of the famous art treasures of the world. It is not large, and represents the Virgin with the Child Jesus, who leans forward, nlmot out of the picture, as if to wel come any one who approaches it. It has a brilliant color, and so all'ei t- one that it is not easy to turn away from it. Vlara Krakiiie C email, in tit. Xieh-o'as. In Parliament Forty Years Ago. Forty years since -in those pleasant times-fashion and literature were in timately associated with public life. ,-Kien a certain dandyism was not with out consideration in the House of Com mons. Rude apparel and rude speeches 'Were not regarded as characteristics of a practical jtolitician; political questions were the familiar topics of the .'( as well as of tho lobbies: the social posi tion of a Minister was not unimportant. And hospitality was g ncrou-ly extend ed to his supporter-, in many cases to opponent and friend alike;. Lord John Russell, in his evidence before the Diplo matic Coinm'ttee, said he had never contracted a debt until lie came into olliee:and yet the salary of a Secretary of Mate is i'.'i.id'i a year. Classical studies were c onsidered necessary fur a gentleman's education, and had their due weight with tin Hoii-e. This blend ing of social and political. circles was a1 tended with more than tnerp party advantages.

DISAPPOINTED HUNTERS. How a (.hi anil Woman Kept M;;lit Sportsmen at Hay. Eight residents of Redford. Pa., went deer hunting last week oa RulTalo Moun ta'n. They tracked a large, line deer, and ono of them got a shot at it. The deer was wounded, but it seemed in a bigger hurry to getaway than ever, and for an hour the niinrods followed it only by the trail of blood which it left. Finally a farm house loomed up before tl'ein. and the trail of blood led right into tlie enclosed back yard. The party halted under a tree, ami Cyrus Young was appointed a commit tee of one to go to the house, explain the circumstance, and ask for the game. The rest of the crowd watched Cyrils and listened. Cyrus knocked boldly at the front door, and was met by a healt hv linking, half-grown girl with' a revolver iu her ha'id. "ll-h-how far is to Redf ird?" asked the embarrassed hunter, as the rest of tiie party dropped to the ground to be out of the sight of th" armed maiden. Just then the armed maiden's mother appeared behind her and struck out for Young's eve with a brawny list that ceined to lop o:V an arm a ard long. Young would have retreated,' but the irirl pointed the revolver a' li'lil and he halted with sudden enthusiasm. "I wonder if there i'.re any men about?" said llarclerode. "1 think not," said Minniek. "You tackle the girl and I'll paralyze the old woman." "tiive nie two or three guns," said Watson Stidler, "and I'll surround the house." "You fellers light 'em in front," sug gested Crouse, "and I'll go around and steal the deer out of the back door." Satisfied with knocking Young out in one round the old woman returned in doors, as was thought, but Crotn. who had crawled around to the back door, hurriedly returned to his comrades and announced that she had marched into the woods with an energy -that could mean nothing less than a set purpose to .summon the male members t the fam ily. He didn't bring the deer, either. Each one of the Redford party had a double-barreled shot-gun, but nobody was anxious to be carried home on a stretcher, and ('rouse was again de tailed to see how large the male portion of the family would be when it came in. He soon saw the old woman approach ing with four sturdy woodsmen. One of litem carried a revolver, Ihe second a shot-gun, the third a cross cut saw, ami the fourth a double-bitted axe. "Rovs, we had better start." said Arnold, "if we want to get to Redford before dark." "Yes, let us go," said Rates, "I hain't feeling well, anyhow." "(!oid day. Miss," said Young, as he backed oil', flowing politely to the fair damsel in the door-way, and keeping a sharp eye on the revolver. "I never did like venison," remarked Minniek. "1 wouldn't be bothered lugging the animal home." growled (Seorge Stilller. "If I wasn't so awful tired." said Crouse. "I'd make them fellers think a cyclone had struck 'em." ' "The doctor told me the other day." chimed in Watson Slifiler,"that venison wasn't healt hv eating this mild weather." "Well, boys." said llarclerode, "if vou want blood I'll lead you. I've fit a powerful sight in my time, and I'm not afraid of that gang, old woman and all." The vote, however, stood 7 against blood to 1 for blood, and as llareh-io le magnanimous!1.' moved to make it unanimous and they slatted oil", fie old woman w is again s.'en at the door.wiih her thumb to her nose and her linger iu active oscillation. -Cur.
