Undoubtedly Mr. Claliaugh ought to havs been wiser, after twenty-nine veal's' knowledge of his nephew, titan tc havs been at all annoyed or impatient because that nejihew waa late to breaklast. Bnt Mr. Clabangh had important business on hand, and was eager to transact it , "Does Jasper think that I telagraphed to him to journey 500 miles to met me- here to-day without a motive? Has the boy no curiosity?' mattered ha to limself, as ha slowly stirred hia third cap of coffee, 4 The long dining-room of the Peagooa hotol was quite desertect, save by Mr. Clabangh and one or two waiters, rhf s Mr, Jasper Sorridge eventually made his appearance. "I seem to be a little htte," Jasper coolly jemarfced, after exchanging salutation!; with hia nncle; "I am sorry yon : waited," ' If you knew why I desired to maei yen here, what my business with yon is, ra would sot wonder that I waited 1 think I was the first person to ait down to breakfast, and now the room is deserted."

"Quite trae,"remarked Mr. Clabangh. "I think my news will give additional delicacy, eves to those tender chops.

Bnt, by the way," and Mr. Clabaugh's tone cii ngetl from complacency to anxiety, "is there any entanglement between yon and Lottie?" "Oh no, nothing sennas, only a flirt. (Bon.

Do you understand?" "Oh, yes! Bat will not she, or some one, smell a rat. Hy appearance in Clarendon jnst as she becomes an hehf-

"She wQI not know she is an heiress until I see fit to tell her. I intend to give yon from one to three weeks' start: lam not well; my physician has ordered

"f am seriously- very seriously is want of money, and as for trrmflr town

this rural damsel (for Clar3non is hardly more than a viltage). well, I think can do it," answered jasper Snxndge, complacently, as he rose thorn the tabk

and sauntered out to tue Hotel steps. Young Surrulge had good grounds fot his confidence in his own attractions. He waa tall, handsome, graceful, and devoted to ladies' society; eonld quota poetry or utter dt licate ecmplimenta bj the hour; and some of bis half -envious admirers declared that he had bees

When he made his appearance ii church the mornintr after his arrivnl it

Clarendon, there was quite a flnttei among not a few of the tendor yonng

nenns, ana at leasi a score ot nrigitt eyes looked the question, "Who is that baudsome man?" With his mind concentrated upon th nnnnown heiress, Jnf-per carefully sur veyctl the congregasion, and sighed foi some fairy to whisper to him, "This i: she." Presently the organ pealed forth, tine a clear, sweet, mezzo- soprano voice aanf. an anthem, "Come unto Me all ye tha labor." Begadlcss of the place, Surridsj turned to his next neighbor and whia pered: "Who is that charming singer?' "Miss Edliffe," was the starling 10 piy. The directory hivl already showed hire there was bnt one family of that name in the town "Mrs. jane EdlilFe, 1', Willow street; Acantha Edliffe, schoo teacher. 17 Willow street;" evidenth this was the heiress. "What does she look like?" was hit next thought So he turned ronnd a.u" took a good long look at the singer; resuming his mental conversation, he said. "Medium height, slender, dark eyes and hair, good complexion, decently thongb plainly dressed; she will do!" To make sure that this was the person besought, he discreetly followed bet home, and when he saw her enter 17 Willow street, he was satisfied. He

delivered one of his letters of introduction the next morning, and as soon as he could he began to rave over the "t xoutsite voke, the most delightful voice.'

ue lKtulunrdin tue cmtreii, ana iuu .ently asked the stranger's name; then, nodrig that hi new friend knew her, ue begged him to present him to her. Chuckling at his good luck, lie began to make delicate bnt assiduous love to Miss Acantha, and was charmed to find that she did not repulse him; on the

contrary, after a few davs she seemed to

give him some little encouragement not boldly, however, but timidly t.nd innocently.

Mrs. Edliffs was not so cordial as he

could have wished, bnt still sho was not actually inimical, and there was no one else to" interfere at least, no one of

whom he knew anything. "Acantha Edliffs conduct is really disgusting!" whispered the gossips within a week after Surridge's arrival in Clarendon. "Before this stranger eppeared she accepted Hubert LuttreU's attentions with avidity, bnt now she quite ignores him." "He hasn't been to Willow street since last Sunday," responded another gosf ip, 'while tliis Mr. Snrri lge is there every evening, takes Acantha out for a drive every afternoon and sends hex books and flowers every morning." "Well, he is rich (probably), and very Btyliab, white poor Hubert is neither." Acantha's conduct in this matter erased plenty of -talk; Iiuttrell himself was the only silent one. When some venturesome person tried to interview linn on the subject be simply set his teeth together, and muttered, "Fop!" But foppery or not Surridge completely distanced Lnttrell in two weeks. At the expiration of that period he might have been heard whispering to Acantha: ' Oh, my darling, if yon knew bow much I loved yon, you would not be so coy; yon would at least try to love me in returnl" 'Teicaps I may try," whispered she, hesititingly; but "quickly added, warding off a threatened embrace. "Bnt bow can I be sure that yon are true! Yon have known me so short a time!" "Fourteen king days! After all, what is time to those who love? The moment I saw yon T knew that yon, sad yon alone, must be my wife!" Which was true, but not as he would have had Acantha understand it. "Yon have loved before, of course' "Never! never! I mty have had my passing fancies, bnt yon are the first lady whom I have wished to marry." "But I am poor and insignificant" "Sot the latter, my sweetheart And as to poverty, do yon suppose I care far that? We will manage to live, I assure you." "Yon know nothing of my family "Your mother, yon say, is your only relative. 1 am sure she would grace any station." "Dear mother, I am sure she would! Ii I should consent to to try and like

yon. yon must promise and not listen to

any nonsense aoont Mr. jjuttreii. 1 did love him, reaHy love him, I thought, until nntfl "

"Mr darling! Your sweet confession

has entranced me !"

"No, no! I have confessed nothing!

Give me until to-morrow to think of it;

and mamma's consent must lie gained." Of course Surridge promised to do anything Acantha desit' jand when he returned to his hotel that evening he telegraphed to his nncilo: "Come at once. The fates are pro

pitious." j The fates are proverbially eccentric ; so Surridge realized when, calling at 17 j Willow street, he was told that Acantha 1 was too ill with nervous headache to see any one. In the meantime Mr. Clabangh arrived and congratulated his nephew warmly on his success; but also iu the meantime, simultaneously with Mr. Clabaugh's arrival, came the rumor of old Mr. Edliffe's death, and the next morning it was announced in the local newspapers, with the addition: "This gentleman was unknown to our ' townsmen; nevertheless his large fortune is to come to us, Miss Acantha Edliffe (teacher in Oak street grammar school) being his heiress." "The iat is in the fire now," was Jasper's savage exclamation when he road those lins. "What possessed the gisl to have headache hut night!" "Ko matter. Yon are virtually aceepted. You can still make a good point Snow her the notice, and say that of course she will not want yon now that she is rich; that yon cannot submit to be called mercenary; that will fetch her." The uncle and nephew called together that morning, and after the former had told Acantha of her grandfather's bequest, the latter ruefully withdrew is proposal. "Oh, Mr. Snrridge, what a pox opinion yon must have of me! Do yen think that I would permit the wealth of tha Indies to come between me and the man I love? No fame woman ever weighs love against money. "Hiss Edliffe. von overwhelm me!

An xcitlug Incident. The Augusta (Main?) Journal relates an exciting incident of somnambulism, at Clinton, that State, the subject of which, MissSadia Lord, is a yonuglady of sixteen years. Miss Lord is an active young body, and sometimes the events of waking hours so crowd into her dreams that she commits strange freaks. Her father is dead, and she lives with her mother snd brother on a farm. On the night in question, mother and daughter went to bed early and were noon asleep. The young man eamu in soon aftow&rd and, retired to his chamber over his mother's apartment. About half-past nine Mis. Lord awoke. She waa horrified to find her daughter gone. The mother listened a vnoraent and then heard some one moving in an adjoining room. She at once proceeded to the 3ot, and found Sadie putting on her othes and fast asleep. She called her

name softly, not wishing to rudely awaken the dreamer. The moment her

mother spoke ths girl grasped a shawl, and, half clothed as she wits, ran out doors like a startled deer. Mrs. Lord

tried to follow her, and could discern the

outlines of her little form hastening toward the railroad track. It was time for the Pullman train from Bangor. The mother could hear the shrill whistle in the distance. What if her darling should be crushed beneath the cruel wheels ? She saw the moving lantern of one of the section men, and shouted to him to intercept the fugitive. But he did not hear her. The tram came nearer. The great headlight of the locomotive threw a dazzling path of light ado wn the trac't. The girl, unconscious of her danger, crossed right in front of the engine and narrowly escaped from the jaws of death. Heaving a great sigh of relief that her darling was safe from imminent peril, the mother returned to the house and called up ljer son. Ho hastily dressed and continued the search fully au hour, when

he aroused the neighborhood to assist him. The church bell was rung, and the entire community turned out A littie after midiight the wanderer was fonnd. She had crawled under the barn belonging to Charles Baker, about onethird of a milo from her home, and had nestled beside a great ox-cart, where she was slumbering as peacefully as if she was in her own comfortable bed.

TAKING DIANA'S PHOTOGKAPII.

The Way- the Astronomers jntatks the Inconatrutt IKoon Slf for Her I.iltcnew, From the Baltimore Nows,j Photographs of the moon are not mere sciontifto ciuiositios. Thoy not only servo a useful pnrpose in astronomical research, bnt they have a commercial value. Few collections of stereoscopic views are destitute of one or more of these photographs. They are as popular as picttpes of some actresses. The wav these views are obtained is interesting. Everybody knows that a stereoscopic piciure of a person or a waterfall i gotby combining two pictures of the objoct taken from different standpoint, so that eaeh shows a little aronud the corner, and thetwobciag combined make the object, appear to stand out in lifelike perspective. To produce the same effect with the moon, advantage is taken of the fact that she vibratos, or rolls n little' upon her center, in swinging about the earth, so that at ono time wo seo a little more of one side than usual, and at another time of the oth er side. When two photograph of the moon, taken at opposite mirations, are combined by the stereoscope, the lunar orb seems" snspended before the eyes like ft ball that tho hand can grnsp. America is ahead of Europe in the art of celestial photography. Englishmen f science, who, like all Englishmen, have a keen eye for the detection of special excellence iu the work of their own countrymen, nduiit this. They say that the photographs of the moon taken by Mr. Lewis M. Entherford, of New York, are better than those taken by their own Delane, who is so conf-picii-ous an astronomer that one of the oceans of the planet Mars has been named after him. Mr. Bntherford's lunar photographs are so fine that they can bo suftieiently magnified to furnish a better view of the moon's rocky scenery than many amateur astronomers can "obtain with tho full power of their telescopes. Everybody has seen what is called "the old moon in the new moon's aims." When the moon, only a few days old, appear? as a narrow crescent, the nniUuniinated portion of her orb is seen shining whh a faint, ashy light This light comes from tho eartli, and is reflected baek bv the moon just as the landscape is fain Jy visible in full moonshire. A few weeks ago, M. Janssen, of Paris, Miccreded in making photograph8 of the moon that showed this phenome" non clearly. Sr light that sprang from the sun was reflected from the fields and waters of the earth to the moon, was thrown back from her stony surface to the earth again, and after' this triple journey yet retained enongh power to stamp the faint picture of lunar landscapes upon a photographic plate. Moon photographs are taken by the aid of telescopes, the prepared plate being fixed at the focus of the instrument in the place of the eyepiece They are obtnined only one or two inches in diameter, and have to be enlarged. Fine ones will bear being enlarged to n diameter of two or three feet Mr. Entherford usf-s a refracting telescope to photograph the moon, th object glass being peculiarly erreeted so that it focuses the actinic rays. Most other astronomical phntographora u?o reflecting telescopes, in which a concave mirror hikes the place of an object glass. The moon is not the only celestial object whose pic ture can be taken. Photographs are also mode of the sun, showing the spots find tho phenomena of pclipsea. Venus and Mercury have been photographed when in transit aorosthe sun's disk. Evan stars can lie photographed, and recently Prof. Draper, of this city, succeeded in photographing the Groat Nehu'a of Orion, which astronomers believe to be an enormous mass of gasoons matter containing in itself the germs of future world and

Lincoln's First Appearance in Nw Tork. It is a onrious fact that while Abraham Lincoln was widely known and highly admired, in what then were willed the Western States, this city bad hardly heard of his name. Such a fact shows the ignorance which so often characterizes merely commercial centers. Lincoln's appearance here as an orator was due to a few of fieecher's leading members who had learned something of his ability, and hence invited him to speak in their church. This was in the early part of 1860. The public had at that time no idea, that any such apostle of truth, liberty and constitutional government was in existence. Hence the effect of his speech was of a deep and solemn character. Instead of Plymouth Church, however, Cooper Union was selected as a preferable place, Tho house was crowded, and the platform contained the most solid men in the Republican party, who were anxious to hear what a Western man would say. When Lin coin was introduced the audience stared at his tall, ungainly figure, which was such a contrast with the petite forms of Bryant and Baymond. Th e speaker began in a low tone and difident manner, and some feared a failure, bnt he soon rose with the subject, and the audience gradually became spell-bound. Never before had a political orato' undertaken to pursue an unnroKen thread of unadorned argument Never beforo was political argument more fascinating, The comsluaion forced on the leaders of opinion was that they had fonnd their true candidate for the Presidency. Such proved to lie the ease, and Se ward's star began immediately to wane. Greeley went to Chicago for the special purpose of defeating Seward, and the friends of the latter then realised the full extent of their disappointment Thoy had taken a portrait of their candidate to the convention, and hud it ready to be unfurled as soon as tho nomination should be made. It never, however, saw the light, and the man who paid for it died before

reaching homo. I allude to John L. Schoolcraft, of Albany, who married Seward's niece, and who was one of his confidential advisers. The disappointment was of a crushing character, and he reached Albany in his coffin. Such was the effect of Lincoln's first and only appearance in this city as a public speaker. Neu York letter. A Sehool-Bonse Built of Hold. Bnt few people are aware of the fact that the facings of the High School are constructed of gold-bearing stone, but it is an actual truth that is testified to by Mr. King, the architect, as well as those who did the mssonry. It was obtained from a mountain near Granite, upon whioh several gold mines hove been dissevered, and which are at present being operated with nineh profit. In antiquity there was extravagance visible in all tho architectou-ftl efforts, but to witness the repetition of those times in this em and in the carbonate metropoHoi:- sonv Wnf; indtad ntwtU&g, I! is a low, Uwtvi,

Tho Oscillatory Art. Beginning with Bernhardt, her osculation is described S a convulsive hug, accompanied by a kiss that seems to come from just back of the spine, but which has no explosion to it. Fauuy Davenport has a dill'erent style entirely. She catches " Armand " just as a Western New York giri does the fellow she means to marry, gives him a tender yet robust squeeze, and kisses him with a fervor that can bo heard clear to the Custom-house. No nonsense about that kiss, nud if lid Price gets 'em regular iu private lifo ho ought to be contented. In tho opinion of nmuy Funny's kiss discounts the kiss Emmn Abbot carries around with her, packed in the ice to keep it fresh. Emma's kiss was learned away in the West, but never practiced much till after she was married to a Boston druggist. The first words of praise ef it cainu from an actor whom she nearly strangled iu a luxurious embrace. He never got over it, nud raves about it to this day. How "sadly different is Mary Anderson in her kisses! They are delivered at a temperature of 40 degrees below zero. Sail au actor whom she had once partly congealed : " Vhn I was a boy I was induced by false aud fleeting friends one winter day to place my tongue against a lamp-post. The experience was so unutterably agonising. So was that of my kiss from Mary Anderson." Soott-Siddoas kiss is peculiar; a peck like a bird, and a chirrup that sounds like a "chip." It's all over with that. But she's such a dainty body that he who is kissed aches because it is over so soon. Mrs. Biddotui is fond of English decollete, or low-necked stylo, probably because she has about the finest neck and bast in tho world. Jaiuutsehek's kisses are but rare, and they are very matronly. They come with words that are growled forth from a deeply-imbi-diled diaphragm, and are more touches, not like Soldene's used to be in the oM days, when she gave her stage lovers the full benefit of the mammoth cave that yawns across her face. There is more kiss to the square foot of Soldene's mouth th n that of any other woman upiri the stage. Alieo Gates did some pretty kissing, especially just after her ninth marriage, when varied experience had made her a mistress of styles. She could kiss liigh tragedy or lov comedy, and between the two extremes ring in every known variety from Mod jest a's stately jvinesn to Pauline Markham's smack. With her twelfth aud present husband, however, she has got to go slow on the kiss racket for he won't stand it. Buffalo J' lrrapi. A Live Fmg In Stone. In Hardwicke's "Science-Gossip," of Feb., 1, 18(17, edited by M. C. Cooke, author of "British Reptiles" and othescientifio works, and published in Loudon, is a communication under the head of "Frog in Oolite." The contribution is on page 45, aud is from tho pen of Simon Hutchinson, Manthorpe Lodge, Grantham. The communications referred to opens with tho remark that the writer begs to submit the following certificate to those who are interested iu natural history. Then the certificate is given us follows: "I. William Miuiton, of Waltham, in the County of Leicester, qnarryman, hereby certify that I was witness to the discovery of he stone and frog, now before me (in possession of Mr. Simon Hutchinson, of Manthorpe Lodge, Grantham), in the stone quarry at Waltham, from ten to twelve feet below the natural surface of the grouud, iu solid rock. When the stone was split, tho frog appeared alive; in size equal to Ihe cavity thereiu. It couthmed to live about ten days after ita release, and was afterwards preserved iu spirit by the late Mr. Stow, of Waltham. Before the stone was broken, no crack or crevice was anywhere visible. As witness my hand this first day of December, 1866. William Munton." This is an exact copy of the certificate, and the names of the parties and of the places, together with the dates, etc., are given jiist as they are published in Hardwicke's "Science-Gossip." Mr. Hutchinson adds to this the following: "This discovery is familiar to persons now liviug at Waltham, besides Mr. Mtuiton; therefore, personal inquiry can bo made by the skeptical, or silence in future- will be most becoming. The skeleton of the frog and the stoiie, also, are ouen for inspection. It is natural to exchuni, How could a helpless frog penetrate solid stone? It is not difficult however, to iinugine a live frog first enveloped iu mere mud, which afterward hmdoim into solid stone, ever remaining .sutiU'iontly porous to admit air aud moisture enough to maintain torpid existence; and which, like seed of natural vegetation buried immensely deep in the outer crust of the earth, from its first formation, renin inn dormant, until some accident brings it within the influence of the sun to rcaitim ate or develop, and ultimately exhmist its vitality. As to the age of tho animal, I offer no theory. The Art of Piuin.r. Thomas Walker has written a book called "Aristology; or, Tbj Art of Dining." Six or at most eight persons, he says, are the proper number to bt seated at one table ; "for complete enjoyment a company ought to be one ; sympathizing and drawing together, listening and talking in due proportions no mum.iKilists, nor any ciphers." Small, unceremonious bachelors' dinners, he adds, are those that he likes best, because " gentlemen keep more in view the real ends, whereas ladies think principally of display and ornament, of form and ceremony not all, for some have excellent notions of taste and comfort ; and the cultivation of them would beem to be the porn hur province of the sex, as one of the chief features in household management There is one fcniaio failing in respect to dinners whioh I cannot help here noticing and that is a very inconvenient love of garnish and flowers, either natural or cut iu turnips aud carrots, and a uok on dishes, so as (f greatly impede carving and helping. This is tlie true barbarian principle of ornament, and in in no way distinguishable from the ' untutored Indian's ' fondness for feathers and shells."

SCHOOL STATISTICS.

The Nuntbor of Schools and Ti:ichcr i Enclt Sinie und Territory. The folio wiir g statistics are taken from the last report of the Commissioner of Education. There ore several points to bo noted in the tables. In Oregon, Missouri, Texas aud Wisconsin the number of teachers is given without distinction as to .sex; in all tho others the sex is indicated except Indian Territory, mentioned in the second cable. In tho case of Now York it should be understood that the figures given are for the number of public school houses, log, frame, brick and stone. Iu the report of the State of Mississippi no statement is made iu regard to the number of schools, hence that column in tho tnblo is blank the only blank in the list of States while Idaho is omitted for tho reason that no recent dates are given. The total number of teachers iu the States is 269,182, and in the Territories 2,012. The table of States and Territories is as follows:

INDIANA NEWS.

Newton Was Mistaken. Sir Isaac Newton long ago propounded a theory which, in spite of its fallacy, has had manj adherents. He insisted thut the anatomy of the female arm is such that it is impossible for a girl to move her arms in the pls.no of her waistband. Without dwelling on the fact that he unwarrantably assumed the existence of female wnist-bands, it is sufficient to say that the facts conclusively .ontradict this assortion. Several scientific persons have since demonstrated by a simple t nd pleasing experiment that a girl can move her arms in almost any plane. Prof. Farraday took x girl of the usual pattern, and a young man selected almost at random from his cliiss on the "Theory and Practice ol .Stone-throwing." He placed the young man on the floor of his leot-nre-room, with the girl immediately in front of him. The lights were then turned down for a few moments iu order to favor chemical action, and, on suddenly turning them np again, the girl's arms were found to be tightly clasped around the young man in the plane of his waist-hand, although at a somewhat greater altitude. It is impossible to break the force of this experiment. It conclusively shows that the female arm can move in the vary direction in which Sir lease Newton asserted that it ramld not move. The same experiment has been often repeated and always with the same result. Any young man who can secure the cooperation of a girl can repeat it for his own satisfaction, and, it might be added, it is universally agreed that it is one of the most thoroughly satisfactory experiments known to science. Wo need, then, pay no further attention to Newton's hypothesis, since it has been completely disproved, and it is now held by no onti who has aven a moderate acquaintance with science.

An Old Acquaintance. The following iucidont in the experience of tha Into Charles Chapman, who was in las day the foremost criminal lawyer in Ooniinecticut, may be worth relating: He so ably defended a man charged with murder that he got him off with manslaughter, although there was scarcely a donbt of his guilt of the graver offense. A very prominent citizen, who was convinced of the man's guilt, wns bo annoyed to think that Chapman had saved the fellow's neck from the halter that he refused to speak to the distinguished advocate for a long time after. A number of years later Mr. Chapman's door-liell rang, and a visitor wat announced "(rood mcming, Mr. Chapman," was the salutation. "You bavu the advantage of me," replied the lawyer. "I do not recognize you." "My name is Don't yon reniotnler that you got me off for ton years for killing so and so?" "Yes, I do remember it, and I got through with yon then and there. 1 want nothing more to do with you, sir." "You needn't be so npish abont it," muttered the fellow. "The way you talked to that jury almost made me believe I didn't do it, and now you've gone back on me;" and he walked disoonsolatelyaway. Hartford Times. He Was Jnst Out. Some oi our city stores are constantly annoyed by children coming to the door aud asking for cards, empty boxes and that sort of things. The clerks are, of course, down on the youngsters, and the warfare never ends. The other day a little girl opened a store door, and sticking her head in called out. "Say mister, have you got any empty boxes?" "No," said the clerk, not very politely. "Got any oards?" "No." "Got any llmanacs?'' "No." "Got any empty bottles ?" "No." "Got any pictures?" "No." "Got any sense?"
