A gentleman in Virginia, who was

making preparations to marry, rreouentlv talked over the matter with his

intended bride, and together they suggested useful articles for tKeir prospec

tive household. Recently he asked his

lndvlove: "Does anTthinft else sug

gest itself to ywt, Amelia, that I might get to make our home happy?" The young lady blushed, and with a soft love-light in her eye, responded: "Xotbing, Edward, dear, unless you think it would be pleasant to have your

life iiMiml" The weddine-day has

been postponed. Vpmnl bit MUlalcc.

"There has been a mistake a dread

ful mk.ake,"she Beid as he called at the

chief clerk's window in the post-othee.

"What is the matter, ma'am?"

"Why, I celled here Saturday for a

letter." -'And I hone ran sot one.

"Yea sir. Mt husband is in Buffalo,

von know, and I've been expecting a

le'ter from him every day for a fort-

niffkt. He was to send me some mon-

nm know, and I was on my last

afiaUng when 1 got that letter." -Well?"

'Well, sir, I harried right home and

oneued the letter and out fell a dollar

bill. Just think .of a loving husband sending bis loving wife a dollar bill with which to run the house and preserve her station in society for a whole mouths" "But you put the money in your pocket and burned the letter ?" "O, no, sir! I threw the bill into the fire and set out to read the letter. It started off with Dear Madam,' and then I began to suspect something, as jet husband .always calls me his aageL

And then it went on to say: "So you

want a bangle, eh? Well, take the in

closed and jingle down-town and bangle your old head off and be hanged to

youf C. sir, I nearly fainted!" - "Well?" "Well. I looked down at the signa

tare, and it was signed 'Slouch.' Then I saw, sir, that it couldn't be from my husband at all, for it was written from

Cleveland, while he is in Buffalo. It

ma addressed to my name, but it

couldn't have been for me."

The clerk received the letter and carefully scanned the envelope, and she. handed him a dollar with the re

mark:

"Put it in the letter, sir, and write on

the envelope, 'Opened by mistake dreadful mistake but the opener won't

give it swav.' If you can think of any-

flung else to sooth the poor woman

pnt it on too." "TeaI will."

"For 1 know exactly how shell feel

about it, and I know if my. huabantt

should tell me to bangle my old head

off and jingle around I wouldn't have

any one know it for a million dollars.

Dear met butlm so sorry, and it i such a mistake dreadful mistake !"

There is a queer admixture of dressing cases and kettles, bedding and dishes, hardware and mirrors in her accumulations, and must all be neatly stowed to avoid breakage and economize space. Woe betide the carman who breaks or losses anything belonging to her ! When the wagon is f uU she takes her place on the seat beside the driver and rides away with a smile on her face as wide as the street Her progress toward home is one of triumph, and

though no brass band precedes the pro

cession playingj "The Conquering Hero," the music of that composition beats in her breast and is rattled in her

ears by the wheels and paving stones and horse's hoofs as she goes. Mrs.

What Girls Shoul&t Do. Do bo natural; a poor diamond is

better than a good imitation. .

Do toy to be accurate, -hot only for

your own sake, but for -the sake of your

sex; the incapacity of the female zmna for accuracy is a standard argument against the equality of the sexes.

Do be exact in money matters; every

debt you incur means loss to some one, probably to some one less able than you to bear it

Dawaw toot letters soon alter

thev are received, and do try to reply

to them with some relation to their contents; a rambling, ill-considered letter is a satire upon your education.

Do, when you talk, keep your bands

still.

Do observe; the faculty of observa

tion, well cultivated, makes practical men and women.

Do attach as much importance to

your mind as to your body.

Do try to remember where you put

your gloves and card case; keep the

former mended and the latter mien.

Do recollect that your health is more

important than your amusement; you win live without one, but you'll die

early without the other.

Do try to be sensible; it is not a par

ticular sign of superiority to talk like

afooL

Do put your hairpins in so that they

will stay; it looks slovenly, to say the

least, to see them half dropping out.

Do be ready in time for church; if

you do not respect yourself sufficiently

to be punctual, respect tne leeiings 01

other people.

' Do get up in time for breakfast.

' Do avoid causes of irritation in your

family circle: do reflect that home is

the place in which to be agreeable.

Do be reticent ; the world at large

has no interest in your private affairs.

Do cultivete the habit of listening to

others; it will make yon an invaluable

member of society, to say nothing of

the advantage it will be to you when you marry; every man likes to talk

about himself; a good listener makes a

delightful wife.

Do be contented; "martyrs" are de

testable -r a cheerful, h ppy spirit is in

fectious; you can carry it about with vou like a sunny atmosphere; do avoid

whimpering; it is as bad as giggling ;

both are to be condemned; there is no excuse for either one of them; if you have anything to say, say it, if you

have not, hold your tongue altogether;

silence is golden.

Do be truthful; do avoid exaggera

tion; if you mean a mile say a mile, not a mile and a half ; if you mean one say one, and not a dozen.

Do, sometimes, at least, allow your

mother to know better than you do,

she was eduaated before you were born.

Do sign your full name to your let

After IHe Auction Sale.

Did you ever see a woman taking her purchases home from a special sale? If

you have not, make up your mind that

von have mused j sight wnicn

month's travel in Europe or anywhere else canrot reple for genuine interest and whole-souled delight She may float gayly out of the scene with coalscuttle full of miscellanies on one arm

and a multiplicity of packages on the other. If she does, kindly note the serene picture of self-satisfaction with which the blood from her bounding

heart fills her face. Every article

the collection represents a bargain, and

a bargain to a woman's soul, whether

embodies a thing of beauty or an object

of superlative ugliness, is a joy forever.

Even the crooked poker in the outfit is

mn aflhiflvement in the line of small

prices that fills her brain with a wilder glow of glory than the First Napoleon must have felt when the day was won at Austerlitz. But take the woman who has a wagon load of such achievements to carry home. She gathers her acquisitions as swiftly as she knows how and begins to worry the carman who is unfortunate enough to fall under her eye, even before the iale is over. When she has glutted her appetite for truck, which usually mea&s that she has gone to the bottom of her pocket-book, she bosses that carman as ruthlessly almost as a second mate .on the river bosses, a

gang of roustabouts. He has to handle everything gently, from the old stovelid to the decrepit three-legged stool,

and no matter what the size of his wag

on, everything must go

"There is a very distinct idea in the

public mind," said a gentleman very

familiar with tne subject, "about Quaker customs and costumes. A good many people suppose that they are

made peculiar m the beginning, in or

der to mark the Quakers as a peculiar

people, and call attention to their pe

culiar beliefs. There can be nothing

further from it Take ftp any gram

mar to-day, and you will see that in

saying you msteaa ot tuee we com

mit an error, grammatically. Every

body knows that we use the plural pro

noun wSere we should use the singular.

And very few people know how it wis

that this came about- The Kings in

ly days, and others who followed

their examples, had a way of speaking of themselves in the- plural number,

calling themselves 'we.' At the time

the Friends Society was organized, the

habit of aping royal manners in style

of speech and in dress had gained such wide popularity, and was carried to so great an excess that it occured to Fox, the founder of that society, that a feature of the association ought to be an adhesion to the proper style of speech and rejection of that which professed to recognize one person as better than another aa being more than one. So it was decided that the false styles of speech being then introduced for the sake of flattery and false display should be eliminated from the vocabulary of the Quakers. Then, too, the extrava

gances of dress in that day were quite as great and distracting as those of speech, and orach more expensive, the

style being constantly changing, bo n was decided to adopt the very best style of dress then known, and retain

it let the fashions come and go as they

may. So they chose the court dress,

and it is still the distinctive garb of the

Quaker. Washington Letter.

Bwiravagant Habit of Offers rAo llceviva Small Salarlei. So-called army honor is a myth. This is to say there"is no high neiisc of honor among the army officers as it class than there is among people of equal education and position in other occupations of life. I doubt if there is as much. Army otiicers. are placed in a false position through the attention

paid them by society. An army officer

comes to Washington nnd he is invited

everywhere, and is called upon to associate with people who have plenty of money. As a natural result, ho soon becomes involved financially. A man who feels tho sharp pressure of debt cannot always afford the luxury of indulging5 in the most rigid ideas of what is strictly honorable. None of them have;any better .pay than the department clerks and bnreau chiefs. Yet these officers live at- the best hotels as

a general thing, have carriages, dress well, and are seen everywhere. The department clerks, who have equal sal

aries, live in tue uacit rooms ui boarding-houses, wear shabby clothes, and never go in society. A second lientenant has $1,400 year; a first lieutenant, $1,600, that is, if he is mounted. An unmounted first lieutenant gets $1,500. A captain not mounted is paid

$1,800. A captain mounted has snj,uuu

It will be seen that up to the grade of

captain officers rank with the department clerks so far as salary goes

When vou get above captain, yon strike

tlia anlnrioa naid to the chiefs Of btt-

reaus. A major is paid $2,500; a lieutenant colonel, 13,000; a colonel, $3,500,

It is only when yon reach the rank of

brigadier-general that the pay oi Senator or member is reached, brigadier-general is paid $5,500.

major-general, 7,500; and a lieutenant-

general, $11,000.

When you look at the scale of expenditures of the officers and at their sala-

aries, ranging from the pittance of .$1,000 of a second lieutenant to the bank-teller's salary for n colonel, it is not to be wondered that these officers sell everything they can lay their hands

on to raise money to eke out ther small incomes. They are exactly like the department clerks in cne respect, iu

that they regard all they get out of the Government, in no matter what way, as

exactly so much clear gain. Of course

there are exceptions, but what I have

said will hold true to the general class,

At West Point, where officers of the

highest grade are stationed as instruc

tors of the youngsters sent to that in

stitution, the same lax of ideas of honor nrevail. I mean the honor of honest

accounts. It is all very well to talk

about various kinds of honor, but

hold that a'niau who is dishonorable in

money matters, who would make out an account that is not strictly just, has

no honor worth talking about in othe

directions. Yet there had grown up at

this very place a custom of army oft

cers putting in bills to the government

for mileage and other expenses every

time they went down to New York for

personal business or pleasure, lhese

accounts were sworn to on their honor

as expenses incurred npon business of

the government So great a nuisance had the perpetration of these petty

frauds become that the Secretary of

War had to go to work himself to break it up. He found no encouragement from any of the army officers. He finally issued an order that no army

officer should be entitled to transportation upon leave of absence from his post without this leave of absence was first approved by tho commanding officer of the department This has

put a stop in a measure to this class of small frauds. But throughout the army there is the most lax notions about money matters, when it comes to the government's interests. Washington Letter.

JACKSON'S AND JEFFERSON!) DAI'S:

It was harder to get an office in those days than now. Jefferson gave Ms friend Tom Paine, the great infidel, money, but he would not make him Secretary of the legation to London, and he refused to appoint, on the ground of unfitness, a man named Calendar to the Eichmond postofliee, worth then $1,500 a year, though he was an active ltepublican partisan.

Alexander Hamilton, as Secretary of the Treasury, had an intrigue with a

Mrs. Heynolds, a pretty wife of an ig

norant man. and the husband tried to

blackmail Hamilton into giving him a place in tho Treasury; but Hamilton, though he paid him money out of his own pocket, would not prostitute the government, and refused him, though he caused the publication of the whole scandalous affair in doing so. John Quincy Adams made only two removals while in office, and when the Fourth Anditorship of the Treasury became vacant, inong the hundreds of applicants for the place were five United States Senators and thirty memberw of the House of Representatives. When Monroe was President William H. Crawford, his Secretary of Treasury, wanted him to make a certain appointment Ho was not ready to consent at the time Crawford called nnon him. and said he would consider

the matter. Crawford wanted it attended to it at once, and said ns he took . seat in the private room of the President at the White House, "You must decide now, Mr. Provident! I am not going to leave this room until lay request is granted !" "You won't, won't you?" exclaimed Monroe, jumping to the grate and adzing the big iron poker. "Yon certainly will, and you will do so instanter, or I will putyou out."

it is needless to add that Crawford went President Jackson was easily flattered, and the man who succeeded in tickling his vanity was sure of an office.

almost like so much adobe. Tho cny has no wells, and, as yet, no water

works, with the exception of the pipes

of the railway company, from wnicn the houses of its officers, baside3 its shops and tanks, are supplied. The water-carriers are a curious local spectacle. The public wells are at the upper end of the town, and nudo Yaqui Indians may be seen there all the day pulling up the water in buckets, standing on a staging beneath which donkeys are coming and going with enormous sacks of raw hide, riveted and water tight, hanging down almost to the ground on cither side. When the donkeys arrive, the bags are flaby and light The naked Yaqui above pours down the water in a glistening stream, and the skins swell up until they hang heavy and distended, like a full paunch.

The donkeys then depart down the street into the town on a slow, deliberate walk, the large water-bags swing

ing slowly as they go. Scantily clad boys, happy looking, and brown as berries, sit astride the hind-quarters

and kick their bare heels -incessantly against the donkey's flanks. There is a bullock's horn in the bottom of each

bag, and when the horn is pushed up it lets tho water out into a bucket, also of raw hide. Water is sold for one real (12i cents) a bag, or by the bucketful for a cent or so. Altogether these water-carriers are about as oriental in aspect as anything on this continent, and the lover of the picturesque might regret tho establishment of the waterworks which, with many other new

things, are to be introduced under the

worn as at present although it does not appear so, as bulky chignons are not fnol.innahk!. nnd the front coiffures

which often cover almost all the he.d are so artistically made that only the initiated would suppose them merely

scope reveals, it will not as is sometimes supposed show a fly magnified to the size of an elephant , nor a flea of horse-like proportions, for the reason that under a high power only a very small part of either of those creatures can be seen at one time. The size of the field of view covored by ordinary lenses has been computed us follows: With a power of 25 diameters, about one-fourth of an inch; with 60 diameters one-eighth of an inch; with 100 diameters, one-sixteenth of an inch; with 500 diameters, one-eightieth of an inch; and with 1,00(1 ciiameters, one ono-hundrcd-fiftieth of an inch, a spare ordinnrily invisib'e to the naked eye.
