Seeing  the Point.
Beauniarchals, the author of the famous "Marriage of Figaro," was the
son of a Parisian watchmaker, but had
gained fame, rank and wealth through
his own talents and exertions. A con.
celted and envious young nobleman
onoe undertook to wound the pride ot
"Beaumarchais by an allusion to bis
"bumble origin. In the presence of a
large company of people who bad a re*
gard for tbe talented young author thig
young man handed bim Ms watch, say-
Jng: "Examine it, sir. It does not keep
time well. You can doubtless ascertain
the cause." Such was his rude haste
that his hand left the watch before
that of the surprised Beaumarchais had
grasped it. and it fell to the ground.
"Pardon, monsieur," said the author;
with grave courtesy, stooping to pick
up the watch and hand it to its owner,
"you see my father "was right when he
declared that I was too awkward to ba
a watchmaker."—New York Post

Sarah Grand's Husband.
The late Surgeon Lieut-Col. McFall,
who was the husband of "Sarah
Grand," was sixty-six years of age, and
a third of his life "was spent in the discharge of his military-medical duties
in India, "where he encountered the
cholera three times in its attack on
the troops, and did so "well in fighting
it that he "was mentioned in dispatches.
When, as a widower, he married the
lady since known as Sarah Grand, he
was at least twice her age, and he had
two sons, of whom one "was her senior.*
and the other her contemporary. The
only child of his second marriage is
also a son, now some twenty-three
years of age, "who has ' adopted the
stage as a profession. Of his other.
sons one is in the army, and tlie "Jthei
a journalist ancl illustrator. Fpr somg
%ixhe past matrimonial incompatibility
bad kept husband and -wife apart, but,
despite this, and a shrewd suspicion,
that he figured not too .favorably in
some of his "wife's books, the deceased
officer "was a reader and admirer of
them, and had them all on his shelves;
Blue Ribbon Meeting
DBTBOIT i
All the indications show that Michigan will again contribute its share of
sensation to the glorious and ever popular American sport, of harness racing
this year. This is particularly true of
Detroit, whose Blue Ribbon meeting is
an event of national importance and is
Qttingly placed at the head of tbe famous series known as the Grand Circuit.
While there are a myriad tracks in all
parts of the eountry ambitious to,be
known a* the best, tbe splendid grounds
of the Detroit Driving Club are by common consent pronounced the finest
place in the world for a big trottiug-
carnlval.
Tbe enterprise that secured the
land for the magnificent course at
Grosse Pointe and equipped it as no
other track is fitted to accommodate its
patrons, did not stop t,her«. Realizing that it always takes monov to make
the mare go, the Detroit Club gives
bigger puises and offers greater" inducements fur fast miles than any other
meraher of tho Circuit.. Th-sre is 'ioth-
insr to compare iu valine with its t'-vn-
ous Merchants'.nd Manufacturers Stake
throughout thw length and breadth
of tbe summer tour with the sulkies.
When the tenth of the exciting races
for this rich prize is decided on July
19, the mm of $103,520 will bave been
distributed among the breeders and
owners who were lucky enough to win-
a share of this stake which brings together the greatest trotters in the
land. Michigan has carried off the coveted plum on two occasions; the grey
gelding, Heudryx, from Dowagiac,
capturing the first race forthe "M. &
M." in lvS89, while three years later
the young mare Siva won a great victory for the farm at Clalrview where
she is still owned.
The candidates for this season are
twenty in number and they represent
the best blood, and aro being trained
by the mo.-t skillful r^insraen ou the
turf. Tien there is th-> Chamber of
Commerce S'ake of 33,000, which is
the largest amount offered to tho
young pacers by any association. Like
its companion event for the trotters
this race has always been .-ensational
and the horsf- that wins this year will
have to reel off the heats well below
the 2-10 mark.
Besides these two attractions three
othpr stakes and purses that foot up
§7,500 have reeeiwd entries from all
theorac'vc stables. L'his ensures the pres-
euce ot the fastest trotters and pacers
now in training, and Blue Ribbon week
that extends from July IS to 23 will be
as before the greatest racing event of
tbe year. The Detroit Driving Club
employs the be.-1 tali'titto officiate at
its meetings and the character of the
sport at the Grosse Pointe track is al-
*wavs above reproach.
Scolded tlie Stove.
A suit for divorce in Chicago the
other day brought out the fact that the
husband and "wife had not spoken to
each other for eleven years. When
the husband wanted to jaw his "wife he
would go into the room where she wa3
and call the stove all sorts of names.
