BISMARCK.

BY SARA. B. BOSK

Everyone thought me a remarkably lucky youngster when 1 secured the position of assistant operator in the little telegraph office at Ellicott, bat I soon found out that Old Samp, as the boys called him, never wonld be invited to join the angel band if he did not sandpaper off tike ragged edges of hisun-

Jacob Sampson, properly was my

employer, and if I did not get drilled

in thai office! Bat there was one

prison, and that was Bismarck.

Bismarck was the prettiest, sweetest little gem of a German girl that ever

breathed. That is her parents were Germans, who, having been disappointed in a son, had named their only

daughter after the greet Count von

Bismarck.

Bismarck had never been outside of

the State, and nothing but the sweetest

looking

prettier than ever. "Say, Bis," coaxed I, lounging up to her desk, "Own up now that you are just as absurdly in love with me as I am with yon."

She tinned unon me a look winch

wonld have turned the head of old Samp himself, and said in assumed indignation: "Will, yon are utterly ridiculous." I knew it pleased her though, and I was about to repeat my theme with some brilliant variations, when I beheld old Samp, coming from one way and Mrs. Warner from another. The two entered together. "Mr. Sampson, will you just look at this telegram? 1 can't make it ont at .11 Will von nlease read it for me?"

I felt a tremor waltz up and down my spinal colr.mn when she paused. Old Samp, put on his glasses, and took the paper into his hand. He looked at it a minute, and then he glanced at

Bismarck.

"Aheml Miss Lautenschlsger, did

yon write out this telegram?"

"No, sir."

"Yon must have done so, it is written

in German. Bead it aloud, Miss tauten schiager."

-"I know nothing abont it, replied

Bismarck, turning white as sbe took the paper.

Old Samp, took an angry step to

ward her.

'Don't deny it, Miss Lautenschlager,

you wrote that, now read it aloud."

I was about to interpose am .Bis

the tears gathering in I ar eyes.

Every cent that I could call my own was not sufficient to take me to St. Louis. I managed to got within twenty miles of its eubnrbs, but there I became bankrupt I might steal a ride to town, bnt I was so fearfully hungry. It was at a little country station and it would be eight hours before the first train wonld come along. What could I do to procure a dinner ? 1 looked out of the little depot window and saw a

thriving looking farm-house a half mile away. My resolve was taken. I started on a brisk walk for that farm house. I plied the brass knocker and was

answered by a pleasant looking farmer. "Any clocks you would like to have repaired to-day?" "Wal, now, I dun know; there's that old clock father left me. I've alius thought I'd like to have that put to rights," "Very well, I would be pleased to straighten it up for you." "What do you charge?" "One dollar, sir." "That's mor'n its worth. I'll give you a quarter an' your dinner ?" "All riirht, sir. I'll do it"

Fortunately ho did not wait for me to finish my work before dinner, he took me at once to the kitchen. I wonder what the old fellow thought of my appetite, I saw him watching me with an astonished look.

"Don't you wish yon had given me a dollar instead of my dinner?" slipped out of my mouth before I thought. "I swan I do," replied he with a gnffaw, "But if Jou can tinker as well as you can eat, I won't find no fault." After dinner he conducted mo to a pleasant sitting room and placed an old fashioned clock upon a table for me to manipulate. He then left me. I looked at that clock with defiance and tackled it with

rock, quarried from the neighboring hills, and is impressive from its very size. It contains ninety-nine rooms, and has n frontage of four hundred feet In the center is a tall square tower. Its effectiveness is in its mnssiveness, and Mr. Tilden might scour the banks of the Hudson without finding its equal in this and many other respects. The edifice stands in a park of one hundred and twenty acres, of magnificent woodland (.lopes, broad meadows, sequestered lawns, and lovely cladea and glens.

From the uppermost room of the tower, four hundred foot above the surface of the Hudson, the scene is magnificent To the north are tho Peekskill rooun uins and tho environment of West Point. To tho west are

the Palisades 5 to the south the upper part of New York City and the hills of Staten island, while to the eaiit are the sail-flecked waters of Long Island sound. On every hand the prospect is

At the end of the hall is tho entrance to the rear piazza, and on the left one may enter the reception-room, the diningroom, or the library.

This sort of thing lasted for a week. She always came in aboat dinner time,

she always waited for Sampson, and lie invariably let out his spleen upon

I grew to dread her; but one day when both Bismarck and Sampson

were at dinner, there came a change.

WW Warner's errand boy came in

her stead.

"Mrs. Warner wants to knew if yon

"So." renlied I curtly. "There has

returned the kisses. She will not own it now, bnt she did, I would take my oath to it, but then I've heard that women forget all about their young days when they are once settled in life. Bimarok informed me that her parents had died of cholera almost as soon as they had landed in Paris, and that she had returned to America and had

sewed for her living ever since. 1 put that clock together before 1 started for town, and what was more astonishing, the thing actually run for months afterwards. That quarter carried me to my nncle's where I became a gentleman of considerable importance, and after a short time Bismarck and myself were married. Nojniy uncle did not die and leave us all his property, but for all that we are the happiest couple in Kt Louis, for with my darling Bismarck, money does not make the man.

A HEM AIM ABLE WILDING. The San Joaquin County courthouse is probably the moat romarkable public building on the face of the earth. It wasi originally built for a pork-packing establishment in 1847, and was used in later years for a powder-mill, a Chinese mission school, and other industrial purposes, until it finally passed into the hands of the County and was adopted as the capitol building. When first constructed it was three-stories high, but the lower story has now rotted oiJ1 and the second floor is resting flat o:a the ground. The price of lumber was very high in 1S47, and secondclass material, or slabs with the bark on, was used for the doors and flooring, and line shakes for covering the sides and roof.

"Why, Maude," he excltimed when he saw them, "what hive you got here?" "Apples, darling," she replied, with a smiling face. "Where did you get then ?" "Bought them, of course, love."

"But what did you get such hard ones for?" "Didn't you say you wanted me to make you some home-made cider!" she asked with the trace of a quiver in her voice. "Yes dear, but these are not good cider apples." "Why wlir " she hesitated --"yon

Her hands were in an old pair of my gloves last night, packed in some sort of slush for whitening the skin. Her ears were tied flat with a bandage, to make 'em lie close to her head. Her lips were smirched with cold cream and her eyebrows were thick with unguent, put on to make 'em get luxurious. Her hair was in an oiled silk bag. Somebody had told her how to make the 'toilet masks' that are the rage now among women. She had obediontly melted a spoonful of tar in a pint of hot olive oil, and spread the composition all over her face. This was warranted to refine the skin, brighten the complexion, and prevent wrinkles. The directions were to cover the smear with patches of soft linen, and that was what made me think when I saw her that she had met with some dreadful accident

The reign of very young girls over the heart of man is ended. "Sweet sixteen" is insipid, "fascination eighteen" tame. At 2D tho young lady of the present day may be sa:d to be interesting, at 30 she is charming, and at 33 fascinating. But it is not till the woman gets well into the fort es that she reaches the angelic period where temper no longer wields tho mastery, and mature thought smooths out the rugged outlines of her mental life. If she understands the art of self-preservation she may also retain at this age the better part of her physical charms, and be pretty in spite of the years. Ninon de L'Enclos was regarded as a belle and a beauty at CO, and care and discretion are only neeessary to carry

the beauty of youth far into mature

life.

Another custom is coming into vogue

which must lend hope to many a spinster and widow of uncertain age, and

that is the fashion of women marrying

men younger than themselves. Per

haps this can hardly be called a novel innovation, however, for it has been

practiced in the older countries for many years, and in Ireland has long been the custom. Dr. Johnson married a woman old enough to be his mother; Disraeli was many years his wife's junior, and Aaron Burr married a widow several years older than himself. The famous Madame de Stael was 44 when she picked up a young officer of 20 or so, and Baehel married

Vernhaeen Von Ense when she was

over 40 and he in the twenties. All of thrao were happy marriages, and Miss

Thackeray, Mrs. Blaik, and Margaret Fuller seemed to believe in such unions, for they each chose comparative youngsters for matrimonial mates. Modern

and ancient unions of this kind have proved lucky unions, and as some of the latter have given a sort of tone and fashion to the custom, we may look for a tide in that direction. If it becomes the fashion for a woman to choose husbands younger than themselves, oldfashioned folk may preach against it in vain. o?M?o?t .EWio.

The very swell cane is thicker than ever fully twice as thick as the cano in vogue a year or two ago, and the tendency is toward dark woods. Malacca is tho rage and more canes are sold made of t hat wood than any other. A later thing, however, is to havo canes of the natural wood, without the bark stripped off. Small round hammered silver heads are much in demand, and upon those the fashionable youug raun usually has his monogram and address engraved, but a later thing is the buck-horn handle, partially blazed in places, with the handle usually notched ' in front and often extending into what is known in London as a "crutch."

rounded by three deep ruffles finished j with a wide hem, and bordered with j rows of narrow white pique braid. Above is a short tunie similarly

trimmed with braid. For the bodice portion a short cutaway jacket opens over a Breton vest that is buttoned up the back, tho front being trimmed

across v ith straps of the white cotton

braid set in close lines. The other

style for making the ginghams shows a skirt nearly covered with one very

deep flounce, tucked a third of its width. In many instances this flounce is kilted, though a shirred one is more easily laundried. The apron overskirt

above is extremely long in front and

very high on the sides, with ample full

ness in the back drapery. A rouno

waist simply finished wifh Quaker folds laid over the chest, and meeting

trimly at the belt, is one fancy for the

waist portion, and the other consists of

a tucked yoke, with a full "baby waist

gathered on. Checked and striped

ginghams are combined with plain

cinahams in many fancy ways lor very

young Lidies, but the above mcdels are

more nonular for general wear tor la

dies of all ages, the one being most be

coming to slender women, the other mora annrotiriate for those inclined to

stoutness. -Veto i'ork Post.

children are trimmed with it It is not only executed by hand, but machine embroidery is magnificently and perfectly done. New pretty designs and combinations are shown in trimmings

J J!fai-rfFi;c ItisablltiuOne of the disabilities of women ?s $be proneness to marriage and their consequent withdrawal from the rank of wago-workers when they have be

come thoroughly conversant with their business and are most valuable to their employers. A good marriage is the best contract a woman can enter into, and all women know it and generally act on the knowledge. All other business is regarded in the light of a temporary expedient, and this element of her wagps Velow that of men, who never contemplate any suoh retirement

from office, fuetoi-7. shop, or school. It

is sometimes urged that family cares need not prevent women from following the business or profession which they kava adopted, but in the majority of instances this ih wholly impracticable. Tho care of a house is enough for

one head, and it is preposterous folly

for the physically weaker sex to assume a double burden which the stranger

would never think it possible to bear.

As far as their circumstances will ad

mit women should soleot such employ

ment as will further their future inter

ests t.e wives and mothers. Of course necessity knows no law, and when it is

a niiestion ol any work which oau be

got, or no food nnd shelter, there is no choice. In the West this alternative seldom comes to native American girls.

WARS ISO AOAIKST SEALSKINS. Dr. J. Solis Cohen, the eminent spec

ialist in throat and chost diseases, said to a reporter that furs upon garments to be worn about the shoulders and neokaro all of them to be avoided.

The thoughtless manner in which the garments are thrown back from the shoulders and throat, after the body has been unduly heated by them, is the chief objection to the furs. They also prevent proper circulation, and as the

body in ordinary weather can oe kept sufficiently warm with other and lighter garments the fuis should be abondoned. A small fur boa, which is thrown aside upon entering the house, is considered a good tiling.

"The sealskin coats, however, are

specially worthy of notice, said the doctor, "because they have become so

common. It is entirely too heavy a

wrap for this section. If used discreetly and only in very cold weather it is

unobjectionable; but the trouble is that

some of the fair owners of the pietty

coats wear them in pretty much all

sorts of weather, because they are both fashionable and becoming, and because many ladies can only afford the one garment and must wear it at all times.

'Pima it is a wi-nn of everyday use in a

climate which does not require so heavy

surahs. The basque is tight-fltting ana

the outer fronts are laid m plaits which fall over the short front drapery that terminates at the sides in loose but graceful folds. The back drapery is arranged over tho back with a very styl.sk result and the skirt is trimmed

with embroidery.

Embroidered tulle draperies are nov

elties which have become an indispen

sable part of dressmaking and niuunery resources. Last winter it was seen only in a few scattering flowers and chenille buds, but now the variety and designs are numerous and it is widely

used. Not only lor Sleeves auu aa decorations is it favored, but it is very effective in good patterns over silk and satin for ball dresses, and elegant made up transparently as dress bonnets end fans. Charming toilets are made of ecru canvas or etamine in Persian figures, over brown or black satin rhidames or satin armure. An ecru straw bonnet is worn with such toilets, faced with brown or blaok velvet,and trimmed with silk or canvas ribbon of ecru ground strewn with shaded chenille flowers or Persian patterns,arranged with bows on top, sometimes in the Alsatian form.
