Fof a time he watched her; then he tried to magnetize her. At lust their eyes met; he stared her full in the face. She never shrank from his look, only a sort of pitying light seemed to glow in the sorrowful eyes. A moment passed, and then she arose quietly and with perfectly self-possessed grace walked over to him to his intense astonishment sat down qtiietly by his side, and said, in a soft, rnnsmal voice : "Yoa seem and to-night; lam sorry." For a moment he was tongue-tied; then he recollected his instructions und pulled himself together. "Well, I think I was sad because you were looking sad." "Was I? I suppose I always do, then. Of course being here naturailv makes one feel sad. But we won't talk of that," she added, quickly. "Do you care for dancing? I'll dance with yon, if you like," "Dance! with you?" "Oh, yes, if yon like; many of the others dance, you know." "How calmly she seems to recognize her sad state!" thought Grayton, as he stood up and passed his arm around

poor Ophelia's slender waist, wondering how she would "jig and amble."

They were playing the "Dream Faces,

Gray ton bolted to the House? and having duly recorded his vote against the bill sent up ffom the Commons for chloroforming gronso instead of shooting them, betook himself in a strange state of bewilderment to Lady Coupleton's. His host t s welcomed him warmly, like the returned prodigal that he was, and insisted, upon introducing him to some one in whom sho seemed to have a speoial interest. "Keally a delightful girl Lord Grayton, quite after your own heart devoted to art and philanthr'ophy, you know,'' Grayton wan too full of thought to protest, so submitted meekly. What were girls to him just then ? Ho was thinking over Cops wood as his hostess took his arm and they set out on a pilgrimage. "Ah! here she! Lady Mary Pettigrew, Lord Grayton. I'm sure you two will get along capitally," and hev ladyship was off, leaving (.1 ray ton staring vaguely at his fascinating lunatic. Lady Mary could hardly suppress a

scream as she turned her head and blushed as (loop as the rose lis still wore in his button-hole.

Messengers of the Air. "J. lmvo often watched my birds coming home," said Dr. Clegg. "They are up in tho air until they look about as big as sparrows. About a quarter of a mile oft" they set their wings, and with a rush they come to the window, never going a foot past it or evincing the slightest uncertainty as to tho locality of their home. I have a hundred pair or so now. All around .this neighborhood people are breeding and flying homing pigeons. I use mine often to send messages homo to my family. I write the message upon' tissue paper and roll it up until I can stick it in a quill. This I tie to the leg of the bird, between the foot, and the knee, with yarn. Thread Avould cut in and stop the circulation. They never seem to mind tho load, and never pick it off. If vou aro going to fly a match a female bird who wants only two days of hatching out Iier eggs is the quickest. Fly her before 2 o'clock and she tries to get back in time to go en her nest at 3:i0 to relieve the male, which has been on duty since 9 o'clock. A male bird flies best when the female is laying her eggs, over which operation he' usually oxerci es the most lofty superintendence. Tlio are loving, jealous birds, and the at tachinent to the spot of their birth at: breeding-place is so great that they i rather starve than leivo it." "How can you toll when your pigt o arrives in a match?" was asked. "By this electric boll," replied :. Clegg, stepping to the mantel and touching a tiuy striking apparaln.. "I have a board on the entrance to tho window set on a spring. The weight of a pig.-on that alights on it presses it down so that it completes the circuit and rings this boll. The judges and timers thou wore, while I go and catch my pigeon. Sometimes I take a whole basketful of young pigeons up to Havre dn Grace for a little afternoon firing. They etinio ImoV thirty-five mi'cs under the hour eosilv." "What col irs nro tho best?" "Well, the whito, silver and checkered are about tho best colored birds.-' "Why will not a common blu rook pigeon' do just as well to train in this way?" was tho query.

Friend Colton: Scott is making a terrible effort to pass his bill, and bo has many advantages with his railroads running out Irom Washington in almost every direction, on which he gives free passes to overv i no which ho thiuks can help him ever so little. Tho Texas Pacitio seems to own almost every one in the whole country. I 1 hear in very many of the largo towns there are parties holding stock in this o instruction company, and they aro all in Washington working for tho T. P. bill. Then on our side wo havo tiargrot, Booth, Jones, Cole, and Gorham in iho Senate to help us. ' Scott is working mostly amongst tho commercial men. He switched g natoi' Spencer of Alabama and Walker of Virginia this week, bnt you know they can be switched back with tho prorer arrangements when they aro wanted ; but S -ott is askiug for so much that he can promise largely lo pay when lie wins, and you know I keep on btgli ground. All the members iu the House from California are doing tirst-rato except I'iia r. and he is a hog any way you can fix Iriin. 1 wish v u would write a letter to Luttrell saying that I say bo Is daiog lirst-rato and is very able, etc., and send mo a copy.

I do not have my own way altogether, but I think that we can agree upon some bill that we can all work for. We shall have to pro rate on through business more than I would like. And 1 think there should bo a bridge company organized (that we are not known in) to build over tho Colorado river at, say, Arrowsbury or any other point oil the rivet, then build St the point where the railroad crosses, under contract with the railroad company. In this way we could tax tho through business on this line If we so desired. Yours truly. 0. P. HUMTNGTOK.
