HliMADIUffl:

The Poorhouse Waifs. BY DAVID LOWRY. CHATTER XVU. LADT SfORFOKD. Jeremiah Jenks directed the driver of the cab to takn him speedily to a fashionable quarter of the city. In less ",han half an hour he was set down in ftont of a fine-looking mansion. A model of a servai admitted the lawyer, and after seating him In the draw ing-room took his card to his mistress. A very handsome lady entered presentlya lady whoee manner and dross indicated hlith social position. She lot ted at Jeremiah Inquiringly. The lawyt -fumbled, roso.stammored and managed io say: "This is an unexpected visit, but 1 had no other alternative The lady looked at him, but did not speak. Site was giving due attention to him. "Madame Lady Morford, I mean I am the victim of misplaced confidence." Still fh' did not speak. Except a slight elevation of her finely arched eye-brows, the lady gave no sign. "I relied upon my uephew, Lady Morford, and he has deceived me, grossl' deceived me. "In what manner does it concern me, Mr. Jen'.'" "It doe yes, very much. He has possessed himself of my private correspondence indeed he has acted ally."Ah! I jrmpithlie with you, sir; but unless It affects me Immediately I do not see that I should be informed of a matter that affects you in a business and domestic way." This was said in an icy manner that made Jeromfah Jcuks' task all the more difficult, but he retained to the self-imposed charpe. "My nephew has, I regret to state, made use ef the knowledge he discovered in your letters, to decleve me us tratlt in rogard to the whereabouts of your granddaughter. Lady Morford looked at him sharply, then she said in measured tone!;: - "How ion?, Mr. Jenks, has this deception been practiced? "Three souths, at least "When d d you discover the truth?" "Within ihls hour." Lady Morford was silent. Khe evidently aa sited further revelations. Jorem'ah .tanks rose, paced the floor, and said in humble fashion, very humble, indeed: "I have discovered from my nephew that your granddaughter or the person I have ret 'ons to believe to be your granddaughter is not far from here in Bew xorK:Lady Morfoid advanced quickly toward the attorney and said, in a tone revealing deep emotion, "Unless, sir, you are prepared now Instantly to take me to her, I will not listen to any communication you may have to make tome. Onqe for all, Mr. Jenks, I have done with suppositions and theories. I want something tangible. I have been a prey to misapprehensions, have been induced to think many things that I find not a seadow of reason for now. " "I am prepared to go with, you to go now, Liady iuoriora ant "Then keep what you have to say for me on the way." She hastened from the roo.n, and In a surprisingly short .time stood before him with her bonnet on. 'My carriage will be at the door in twosinutea Now. nroceed. Tell me where we are going." "To Monsieur Duf aur s academy. " "I know it very well I called there with an acquaintance only yesterday." "Well, that is where we will una the girl I have been seeking-" "Ana now long nas sue oeen inerey" Several months, it seems." "Months! Months In New York: Wo mar nave passed each otber I might have sat here while she was dying near me! This is nnpardooaoiel" "It is, my lady. It la" "Here is the carriage quick. I must not lose another utnute. Every moment is precious to ma " She was like a girl in her. eagerness. Wbea they were seated face to face Jenks had sent his cab away the lawyer related, with much humility, the manner in whlt h bis nephew, his bad nephew, had misled him and robbed him of an immense amount of money. But ha could not take steps against his own flesh and blood be revolted from even the contemplation of action against his nepnew. Of coarse Lady Morford applauded his sMrlt, and now that she was on the eve of embracing a grandchild, she felt as if j she ought to exercise charity to all the Tono. She heard all Mr. Jenks had to say, and pitied him, poor man. Was he quite sure this young person was the identical child he had been soarchtng for so long, and were the facts such as would satisfy the curiou? world that she was truly Lady Morford'fgrandchild? "Beeanse, said Lady Morford, "un'ess the proof is convincing my nephew, who is deeply interested, will contest the claim now and after I am dead. He will Wave nothing undone that ingenuity can suggest or money accomplish." "I am convinced. Lady Morfon that the girl's birth all the evlilen e required will be supplied." "Are we not ' there yet?" sa d the grandmother"We will soon ba there now. One more block, Lady Morford. " When the carriage stopped and the footman opened the door, Lady Morford, whose hand trembled, said as she laid It on Mr. Jenks' arm: "Pray be quick let tno get it over speedily, this meeting. " "We desire to see Madame Duf aur," said the lawyer to the ierrnt who answered the be'l. "Madame Dufaur is not at home. " "Monsieur Dufaur, then; please Inform him a lady wa'ts." "Monsieur Dufaur is bsont, too. " "When will Madame Du'a-ir return?" inquired Lady Morford, acxiouxly. "In an hour." JAnd monsieur?" I don't know; he may be later-" "Can I see " Th lady turned to Mr. Jenka - "Her name?" - "I do not know; they call her Joe, I believe. " "Then can we see the young lady who is with Madame Dufaur Misc Joe?" "1 am sorry to say, m idame, she, too, is oat' "Is she out of the city ?" Now, thu servant thought the visitor meant in the neighborhood of the city, as if Joe was out of town for an hour or two, and she answered: "Indeed, I am not sure, Mayba she is. " Lady Morford spoke to Mr. Jenks again. "I wlli leave a note." "Whatever you may deem proper under the circumstances " Lady Morford called for paper, pon and ink; then she wrote a few lines lu a nervous band, placed the note in an envelope, handed It to the servan t, and turned to her companion. "I can do no more at present." SW" "No. Wa have dona all that can be done now." "If she does not call on me t will return. She will surely call or send me word." "Surely such a not as that will be attended to promptly." The visitors retired, and the servant looked after them curioi sly. As she looked, a handsome young man came up the street He had waxed mustaches, black eyes, and a military sir. He was the leader of a brass bund and the girl's lover. He stopped, took off his hat, and talked to her. She smiled, and talked to and at him with her brilliant eyen TJtsy wsra to be atarrlscl toon, w it wm

not much wonder five, ten minutes passed aWay. Then the young man looked at his watch, gavo s start, and exclaimed: Possible! I'm off." The servant sighed, remembered certain things requiring her instant attention, entered tlio house with a little ory of dismay and the note which was lying in her pockf-t, and which Lady Morford had placed in her hand with a solemn injunction, was as utterly forgotten as if it had never been handed her to glvo to her mistress "the moment she returned." CBAl'TBft XXVUt AKOraBR SURPRISE. When Monsieur Dufaur and his wlfet accompanied by Job Wonder, Dick, Ben iirown and his wife, returned to the Dufaur mansion, thore was much rojolclng, much to be explained, and much more that nobody could account for. "What in the name of all that's mysterious did that scoundrel mean by pretending he ws married?" said the clown. He appeared ;o think the question an open one, for anyone to answer who could satisfy hl n. "I k n answer that, I reckon." Everybody looked at Job. "There's a long story hlngs to that thero I'll cut in right short, an say this fellow's in the office of a cuts lawyer hyer, who's got his eyes on Joe hyer."

"A lawyer? waatdoes a lawyer want with Josephine?" demanded Monsieur Dufaur. " "Weil, that's what I hain't found out y it, but I wi 1. I'll list make it my business to 'find out. Anyhow, he wanted mo to pay him a lot o' money for keeping a sharp lookout on Joe, hyer, an' the boy. He was s. keepin' it right close. At least he said S3. There was money In it somehow or" that pesky lawyer wouldn't bothered nomi lawyers don't waste no time 'tliout they git paid for't, 'n blamed well paid, too." "Well but," said Madame Dufaur, "Joe here has nobody not a friend in the whole wldo world! And no moneythen why should that villain swear he was hor husband!" exclaimed Madame Dufaur. "Thero's some reason for It," said Ben Brown reflecting. "Perhaps Joe is a real live heiress. - "You would mitke a beautiful heiress, said Mrs. Iirown. "She is a beauty any way you lake her," said Job enthusiastically. "Come, come." said Monsieur Dufaur, yoa will spoil herl Joe don't lot any thing tney say spoil you." "No, she won't," said the clown laugh' InK, "she'll spoil herself." "Talking; 'bout that, "Job began laugh ing, when a sharp peal at the bell star tled them. A servant went to the door. The drawing-room door was opened. All in It could hear what passed In the hall. Pray toll Madamo Dufaur 1 deslro to speak to her." -0! ma'm," the servant exclamed hastily. Then followed some words in a low, passionate tone. Then the strange voice answered, "No matt r now say nothing, but bid Madame Dufaur hasten, my girl." . The listeners looked at each other. At this hour!" said Monsieur Dufaur, shrugging his shouldars "it is unheard of amazing!" "Nevertheless, I will j'ee her," said his wife, and she suited the action to the word, passing Into the halt Ol It is you, Mrs. Howson. Pray come In. When Madame Dufaur ushered her visitor Into the library, she stood waiting her commands. Mrs. Howson began without preface. I called to-day, but you were out "I was not aware "No matter. You have with you a young lady her name Is Joe." "Josephine yes. " "Can I see her is she sleeping?" "No you can see her, certainly. But may I ask why you desire to speak with her?" "Why should I conceal It from you. The girl that I am seeking that I was told is here Is, I am led to believe, my daughter's child." "Your granddaughter?" "Yes, my granddaughter. " "Wonderful!" Madame lifted 0her hands in wonder. "I v 111 fetch her this instant. And my husband, too." To (Ira ? her husband and Jon into the library, to the surprise of the others, occupied but a moment. Then the door communicating was closed. Mrs. Howson, or rather Lady Morford, rose as Jos enters. She gazed at the girl a minute, then taking her hand In hers said, In trembling tones: "Yon are her very self the picture of my poor Louise." Joe looked abashed Monsieur and Madama Dnfanr turned aside. "Let me look at you In the light" Lady Morford turned Joe's face to the light -"The same skin, the same features; above all, you have your mother's eyes and brows the finest I over beheld and her hair. There can be no doubt abour, it, child; you are my daughter's child. There aro hnndreds who will say the same in En? land " Th'on Joe felt horsolf drawn to the handsome lady's breast, felt a tear on her cheek as she was kissed, held off, looked at, and kissed more war.nly again and again. Madamo Dufaur was weeping silently, and Monsieur Dufaur wiped his eyes suspiciously. Then Madame Dufaur said: "Let us go into the other room." When Joe walked into the drawing- j room beside Lady Morford, ovoryone j was struck with the resemblance she ! bore to tho handsome old lady. There was the same mouth, the same nose, the sam eyes. This is Josephine's grandmother." said Madame Dufaur. "Hur grandmother!" Job Wonder looked amazed. The clown looked at his wlfn. Dick suddenly fo't b5s heart sink. He could not explain tho feeling. It seemed as if the whole world was dropping, dropping away from him. "Tliis is the most extraordinary circumstance that has over come under my i.otico, " said Monsieur Dufaur. "We are, I think, about to learn why that scoundrel wanted to marry this lady's granddaughter." . Lady Morford looked from one to the other. "I xce madamo is ama:?ed. I shall tell you all. As these present were witnesses, they can verify my statement " Thereupon he recited, briefly the Incl&ehts ct the evening. When he ended, Lady Morford reflected, then asked the name of tho young man wha was prepared to marry hor granddaughter Hs tame is Ike Jenks." Dick answered modestly. "Yes. and a bigger rascal novor lived," said Job Winder. "I know him and his rascally uncle, Jeremiah Jenks." Lady Morford turned to him with a smllo, "I wonid like to speak with you again, Mr. Wonder, concerning some affairs." Glad to be of use to yon, mum, 'speshally if I can keep you out of that lawyer's clutches, or help put his nephew In tho penitentiary, where he is headln' now, an' nothin' kin stop him. " "And this young man whose rare courage and presence of mind enabled my granddaughter to avoid r,he snare sot for her where is ho?" said Lady Morford. Tho clown pushed Dick forward. Hue ho Is, madam. " Poor Dick blushed scarlet as Lady Morford caught his hand in hers -and said: "Yon are made of tho stuff heroes are made of, my boy." You'd think so if you saw hits bring Black and Firefly to time," said the !own proudly. " "Ho understands hortea, then?" "Well, I've seen men who thought they knew tt all, and Dick there kuows more than they know or at least he can do more. " I How strange It all seems," said Lady Morford, "Well, I will leave you now. You need rest Now you understand why X could not sleep. I had to coma " Then kissing her granddaughter she did not permit herself to doubt longershe spoke apart to Madame Dufaur, !da th otbsrs good-night, and With ;

drew. In a few moments they heard her carrisiro rolling away home. She looks like one of the high folks In the pictures we see, " said Job, when they were speaking of her. "Hl:h! So she is," said Monsieur Dufaur. "She belongs to the Tiobillty. " "Why, how so? She calls herself Howson," said his wife. "Exactly; but she is an earl's daughter, and Immensely wealthy at :hat She is called In England Lady Morford."

"wnatr exclaimed Madame Dufaur, kissing Joe. "You are a born ladr-an earl's daughter. How glad I am. Yeslisten. She is a real lady, for she called to-day to ask mo to bring Joe to lier. She left a very Important noto with Maria, and Maria has forgotten It; and Lady Morford made mo promise not to scold the poor girL Had 1 received the note she would not have been compelled to come in the dead of the night; hut she could not stay away longer, she said." "That was vory kind: It shown brooding," said Monsieur Dufaur; "I takeoff my hat to Lady Morford. " "But how, do we know yau roally are her granddaughter," said Ben Brown, looking at Joe. How how why, you can 500; they look o much alike," sa.d Madame Dufaur. "Ah, but in matters of tins kind wo don't go by looks. I don't doubt it; I only want to prove it to all the world." 1 have It! I have It!" A!l looked at Job Wonder. "There's a woman in Barnosvtllo poorhouso. She said Joe was rich came of rich people. Yes; sijo told me that, tnd that she knew mor . I thought she was making a fool of me, dod-blast her, an' she wasn't" "It was old Mother Camp," said Joe. "Yes, exactly; that's her name. I'm goin' right back to Mother tramp, aid I'll find out all she knows for five dollars. I'll go to-morrow; yon can tell your grandmother I'm off." "Monntimo, madamo here will show you all where to sleep for the remainder of the night," said Monsieur Dufaur. Whereupon they separated, and soon the inmates of Madame Dufaur's domicile wore wrapped In 'sleep. Die it was the last to close hia eyes. And tben ah! there were tears-ln thorn, for was not Joe his playmate, Joe a lady, rich, and to become great, whllo who was ho? What was ho? "There is a groat difference between us no r, " Dick said to himself, as he fell asleep. CHAPTER XXIX. X WHICH MtlCH 18 EXPLAIKKD. Whs i Job Wonder was preparing to return to his farm by way of Barnesvillo, bs found, to his surprise, a note from Lady. Morford, which read thus: I trust you will not dspni It too much I trouble, Mr. Wonder, to accompany mo to Barneivillo Poorhouse. whsre it is neces sary, 1'or my own satisfaction and tha protection of Josephine, to m&ito certain inqulrleii, which must be made in person. The note was handed Job by Monsieur Dufaur. "Trouble! Not a bit of it I'd git up at nl zht to accommodate her. She's a born ) ady she la " So In due time Job met Lady Morford (who was known as Mrs. Howsou) at the depot She had a servant with hor a man servant so gentlemanly, r.tlent, and discreet that Job thought him vastly "superior to Congressman Ruddersraith." of Btrnesvlllo. Ben Iirown accompanied tho party, and with htm was Dick. This was the most amazing thing to poor Joe. She marveled much at it That Dick should venture back into tho jaws of death that was how she regarded Zeko Caper's control was beyond hor comprehension. But she did not know that Lady M jrford bad talked apart with Ben Brown and his wife, or that fortune had taken a sudden turn in favor of two or three persons. When the party reached Barnesvllle, Job, Lady Morford, and her servant set out together for the Poor House, leaving the down and Dick to follow at their leisuie. Wien Zeke Caper encountered Job, his face ohanged color swiftly. Jcb seated his tiavollng companion with a nourish of deference that mystified Caper. "We havo come to look over the Poor House, Mr. Caper. This lady, Mrs. Howson, has heard 30 much of it that she is curious like, and so bo I, too. " ThenJob whispered aside to Lady Morfardi "I'll find Mothor C mp, d'reck'y." They looked over the building, over the grounds, and suddenly Job spied Mother Camp, whom he beckoned to them. Mother Camp remembered Job's timely gift She was noi slow to take the hint She led tbem apart, and turning to Job said shortly: "What Is It? You want to know something?" "We da This lady will ask you." Cim you tell me what the mother of the irlrl Mr. Wonder took home with him 'as called here?" "Yea Simpson. That's the name they put on tho record. " "Well, what namo snould have been placed on the book?" "You knowhei, eh? Maybe you knew ber Id England?" Tell all you know, and be quick," said Job, handing the old woman a bank note which she concealed hastily. "Howson Louise Howson. " "How did you learn this?" Mcthor Camp looked around, then whispered: "She told me be.'oro she died. And the name of the doctor in New York who attended hor three yearn. " The name!" said Lady Morford. "Tho doctor's name?" "You can't go wrong Clifford John Clifford." "And whate!so did she tell yon?" "S.ie told mo hor child was, or ought to be, rich rich. That if I w ould get some one to write to England, to her motler " Sae said that! Don't deceive me. I am her mother!" M cither Camp looked at her and her face softened. "Sae did It's true. Then, before she could till me her mother's name, she took a lit of coughing and died." "You'll stand ready to swear to It," said Job. "Any time. It's the gospel truth." "Do you know auythln' 'bout who that boy Dick belongs to?" Mother Camp coughed.' "Dicky Dickl 0, well, why do you want, to know?" " 'Cos I'm his friend, and this lady is, too." "Why whisper. His father died of the tremens right here. And they do say Dicky's uncle is living, and is worth hundreds of thousands. But it don't belong to the uncle. That's why Zeko Caper .t ried to kill him; ho beat him and starved him, bat the boy ran away. He ranuwny." "And this uncle where does he live?" Job wked. "In New York. But his name ain't Dick. 0, no; it's Israel Heberi" Great Scott!" exclaimed Job. At t,hat instant Ben Brown and Dick entered tho grounds, and Job beckoned them to approach. "Who is this. Mother Camp?" Tie old woman gazed at him intently "It's Dick it's Dick." "Ufa me, Mothor Camp. And this gentleman Is my friend Mr. Brown." Tr.o farmer took Brown and Dick aside and their amazement was very great when he informed thorn of the faott learned from Mother Camp. "You'll come to New York whon we wanli you," said Brown, after the matter had oeen talked over and they understood olearly what must be done eke Caper did not encounter them again until they were leaving. Then he bowod politely, until his eye fell on Dick, when hu grew very pale. "Hera youl I want you now at once. How dare you come in this company?" - "He did not come I brought him," said Ben Brown. "But I will coran back, Mr. Caper, and when I do, you'll make up your mind to quit Barnesville." Then the party withdrew. Ujon their return to New Y'rk steps were taken Immediately to verify Mother Camp's statements. Dr. Clifford's Mwlto(10Q was sa clear he narrated all

tho circumstances attending tho illness ,nd poverty of Mrs. Simpson. Israol Heber'ssourcoof wealth also was easily discovered. His brother, w ho was a ddicted to Intemperance, died child loss or his son died and Israol camo Into I a!f a million or more. Tho way's all clear for us." said Iirown to Wondor, as they talked tho matter over with Dick. "How would It do to. let mo write a I ttlo letter to my Uncle Israel," said

Dick. "Goodl Do!" satd Ben. Dick wrote Just two lines, to the offset that he was about to proceed against his undo and Zeko Caper. When Israel Ileber received tho little lottor, he selected a stout rope, and tho noxt day the papers published un ac count of the "rich merchant's mysterious suicide." A day later Zolre Caper Btolu away fxom liarnesvllle In disguise, westward bound, but Providence had marked a different course for him. A collision took place a short distance from Barnesville, and Zeko Caper was tho only passenger killed. Tho same papers that contained tho announcement of Caper's sudden taking off do voted upwards of a column to the startling details of a conspiracy to wed an English heiress. Tho names alone aero suppressed; but Isaac Jenlrs, Jeremiah .looks, and Blinker's name 5gu;ed prominently. Jeremiah fled the city, ills brilliant uophew, Blinker, and two o'. Blinkor's confederates were duly tried and sent to tho State's prison for various terms, Thoir punishment was deemed heavy. Monsieur and Madame Dufaur still conduct their admirable acadoniy, and are more popular, If possible, than ever. Jf thero Is one man more jolly and jovial than Job Wonder In Acorn County, the inhabitants have not found him The fact that ho was instrumental in proving Josophlno Howson's claims lias made him, If possible, kindlier than evr. And Kamanthy will never, never accuse anybody of anything nr.tll hor dying day Job's wife talks of tho time when your.g Lady Morford and Double Dick aro coming out to the farm. " Lady Morford speedily carried her granddaughter to England. It wt.s said sho had two objects in view to silence her nephew foro br, and to give her granddaughter tho requisite degree nf polish. At her instance, Double Dick accompanied them abroad, and Dick would not be separated from Ben Brown; consequently Bon, his wife., and Dick formed an happy a trio as ever set sail for the old world. The fact that Dick was whore he could see and speak to Joe hu persisted In calling her -Joe' and she ciillod him Dick bad much to do with tie glow on his honest face. Ben Brown's letters to his old friends, especially to Job Wouder, to whom hu took a great liking, indicate closer relations at Mime future day between Double Dick and Joe the k.vd.1 A Doutlst Who Harneanos I'atieats Before Giving Gas. Br. Maurice B. Smith, a deutit-t, according f;o the Philadelphia Ledger, w:ill in future have an arrangement of straps attached to the operating ohair, w.liich will prevent patients from jumping up and attacking him while recovering from the effects of nitrous oxide gits. Tho Doctor has had a rather rough experience with at least two of his patients, who, before they had recovered from the effects of the gas, made thiugs decidedly unpleasant for him. One of the patients, a stalwart man, measuring over six feet in height a&d weighing about two hundred pounds, gave the Doctor a good trounorag lately. It appears that the man hed two teeth drawn while under the influence of the gas, and while semiconscious he made a sudden attack upon the Doctor. The latter grabbed the man about the body and told him that his teeth were out and to keep quiet. While in the act of drawing avi ay from the patient the Doctor was struck either on the nose or behind the ear. The patient then sprung out of tho chair and struck the Doctor about the face, knocking him senseless to the He or and began kicking him. A lady assistant stood by powerless. The dontist's wife, who was in the adjoining room, heard the noise, ran into the operating room, caught hold of the patients coat and tried to drag mm away from her husband. The wife was sti-uck in the neck twice by the patient. The latter, after coming to his souses, commenced to apologize, and offered to pay for all the damage he had dime. A neighboricg physician wus summoned, and, upon arriving at the dentist's house, he found that the la iter's nose was broken, both eyes discolored, and he had several bruises on the head and body. Dr. Smith, in speaking of the affair, said : "I have just come from the harness-maker's, where I have arranged for a series oi straps to be placed on the chair, so that, a patient will bo powerless in case he becomes unruly while under tho iuiiueuce of the gas. The) patient that attacked me on Thursday was evidently dreaming about fig'litinfr, and ou account of seeing my fat: 3 last before taking the gas, and seeing me only while semi-eouscioua, he thought I was the aggressor, and immediately began to pitch into me. The patient, when conscious, offered to pay for all the damage he had done, but as the damage amounted to brea'king my nose and giving me a pair of black eyes I could not appraise the value. About two weeks ago a patient, while under tho influence of gas, imagined he ws in a fight and made a dive for his batik pocket. I caught his arm and held hiui while my lady assistant extraotod a revolver from his pocket." The Alabama Claims. J am reminded of a glimpse of some inide diplomatic history that was givtm mo by a well-posted Washingtouian, says a writer in the New York World. The Alabama matter was being talked over as having a bearing on the Itana affair, when he said : " We hear a great 110.be now and again about arbitration as a means of settling difficulties between nations that might otherwino lend to war. I learned long years ago that the way to win arbitration is 1:0 pack the commission. It was Caleb Oushing's shrewd Yankee wit that wen ns the Alabama case. Secretary Fish had picked out names to submit to Great Britain as arbitrators, when Gushing, who was one of the attorneys in the case, said: 'You will lose the case if that is to be the commission, Mr. Heoretavy.' When Mr. Finli asked for an explanation, Cashing told him that the gentlemeu so'looted had nearly all expressed them selves in writing acainst tho grouueiu 1 that the United States would tuko bo -fore the commission iu demanding damages. Mr. Fish asked Cashing io seleot a set of arbitrators, and tho list Gushing drew up wos submitted to England and accepted. Every name supplied by dishing was that of n man whom he knew was in print with an opinion in keeping with the argument. Gushing intended to make for the United States. There has always been more or less rivalry among the friends of Oushing and William M. Evarts as to which won the arbitration case for tho United States. Cnahing spoke in French, in whioh he was an apt and eloquent soholcr. He was the only American lawyer who addressed the commisHiouers in a language common to them all the language of diplomacy. He had the supreme advantage in addressing them of knowing that they were friendly to bin argument."

Court' Etlqnatto and inlianadora. The etiquette as to the precedency of Ambassadors at court was happily settlod once and for all by the Congress of Vienna, in 1815, which decided that Ambassadors and Minuiters were to take rank by seniority according to the dates of their appointments. By courtesy, however, the representative of the Pope is always allowed to hold the iirst place in the diplomatic body anc'L to act as its spokesman. Before 1815 the wrangles between envoys abcut precedency wore incessant, and the servants of rival legations Very of ton came to blows and blood-shedding to doter'mine whose coach shouli go first in a state pageant. In 1813 theFrouch artist, Isabey. having been commissioned to paint a picture of the Congress of Aix la Chapelle, was sorely exercised in grouping his plenipotentiaries so as to offend none of them. He v.-as particularly perplexed in setiling who was to be the oontral figure of the picture. Prince Talloyrand, the representative of France, insisted on having the place of honor, and Isabey, as a Frenchman, desired to gins it to him. On the other hand, the arbiter of the Congress was the Duke of IV ellington j and Isabey, being a conscientious worker, wanted his picture to be historically as weJi as artistically cor recti. At last he bit r.pon tho really-happy tho lght of patting Talleyrand in the center of the group, while making him and all .the other plenipotentiaries face toward the door to greet the Dnko of Wellington, who was walking in. Nowadays, diplomatists, though no lontjer so touchey about the places they are to fill in banquets and pictures, still hold tigltly to some privileges whioh are hor fly in keeping with the spirit of the age. Not only tho envoys themselves, but their servants, are free from irrest in the countries where they roskl.s, and an assault committed on an envoy's servant is regarded as 'an injury done to the envoy himself. It iros only four toeri years ago thatQaror. Turgot, beiug French Minister to Madrid, wrote indignantly to his Government: "I have this day received a kick in the back of my servant. The servuit had been molasted in the riots that followed the overthrow of Isabella II., but an apology and fine were deroanded pretty much as if the Minister himself had been kicked. Chamber's Journal. The avant-port, or entrance harbor, is nearly dry at low-water, and onr tender, even with her light; draught, stirs the mud as she proceeds. But when the tide is in, the large steamers and sailing ships can safely proceed to the docks, that, have been dug from the money with an enormous expenditure of land and mufcle. The docks and basins of Havre are all of man's creation, and owe their existence to his industry and perseveranco. They are eight in number and a ninth, and perhaps a tenth, will be add-

! ed ix'foro long. Altogether theexistl ing docks will accommodate 2,000 ves- ; sels and by crowding thorn closely an- ; other hundred or two might be takeD ' in. The largest is the dock of the F.ure, and it has a superficial area of fiftTthi'ce acres, with a mile a&d a quarter of quas. The water in this basin has a dopuh of thirty feet, and a dry-dock opens from it capablo of holding any of tho ships that visit the port. Think of the labor necessary for making this dock and buildingthe massive wails that form its sides, and then say if Havre is not deserving of all her present prosperity. An older and smaller dock than this is tho Bassin tlu Commerce, which is geuerally filled with sailing ships, and sometimes has held as many as 200 of them without impeding circulation. At one end of this dock is the square named after Lonis XYL, and on pleasant evenings we will find a dense crowd there to enjoy the military or other mnie, and to lounge under the trees. Be yond the square and in lull view from the dock rises the principal theater of Havre, and at the water's edge is tho machinery for removing the masts of ships or restoring them to their places. The oldest doek of all is the Bassin dxt Hot, or Vieiuv Bassin, :md it is also the imiallest; it was mad j in 1069, and has latterly been enlarged so as to adapt it to the ships of the present day. It is difficult to ascertain tho cost of the docks of Havre, as the old accounts no longer exist, and we have only tho modern :igures to guide us. Within the last twenty years more than $50,000,000 have been expended on them, and tho work is still incomplete. Thomas W.Knox, in Rarper'8 Ma a as hie Years ago, travelers going to Canada by tie way of Lake Charnplain used to seek the steamboat which Capt, Sher man commanded. The Captain waa famous for the neatness 0:! his boat and the discipline of its crew, and for lha own politeness. He was the only man whom Horace Greeley acknowledged to be his superior in polite behavior. O ie morning, after breakfasting, Mr. Greeley, who was in a capital humor, turning to a friend, asked: "Do vou know that I claim to be the mosli polite man in the country?" The friend, well aware that the cele brated editor, when irritated, was neither gentle in manne? nor courteous in speech, replied tlu.t he was not aware that the graces of politeness were prominent among his many excellent traits. "Hut I assure you," answered Greeley, with a smile that overspread his baby face some one said that he Lad a philosopher's head with ihe face of a baby "that I have never been beaten in politeness but once in my life." Then he told the story of his defeat. Before the days of railroads, ho left Utioa, one morning, in a stage-coneh. His only fellow-passenger was a gentleman of prepossessing appearance, with whom he fell into conversation. Alter awhile the stronger diew a cigar-case from his pocket and offered its contents to Mr. Oreelty for him to take from it a cigar. He declined the polito offer, and the conversation, was resumed. Presently thu gentleman, taking a oigar from tho c ise, put it in his mouth, end returned tho case to his pocket. While they were talking he abruptly, bat courteously, remarked to Mr. Greeley: "I hope, sir, yon have no objection to a cigar?" "Ione in the world," atav&ered Greeley, "when it is not lighted." "O," replied the gentleman, "I had not the remotest thought of lighting it!" "Then and there," said Mr. Greeley, laughing, "was the only time I ever was beatim in politeness. I afterward ascertsined that my victor was the famous Capt. Sherman, of Lake Champlniu." The wealth of Now Soutli WaiC9, pub11c and private. Is officially estimated at 530,700,000 which Is an avorageof 517, or 52,585, per head of population. Since 1881 there has been an Increase of about 100 par cent, in total wealth, and 45 per cent.
