Foolishly Bashful. A nieco of Ex-President HaTes 'sends the New York Tribune two or three stories of her uncle's boyhood. One of "them was told by Gen. Hayes for the benefit of a diffident little fellow who happened to be spending the day with him. It mar he useful to other bashful boys, of whom there are still countless thousands in the world, in spite of nil that has been sa d about the forwardness of young people ia these days. "When 1 was at school in Connecticut," said Mr. Hares, the boys brought word of a famous dinner to be given on the next holiday in a neighboring town, and for the rest of the week we saved our money and talked of the joys that were before us. "The eventful morning saw us on our way, racing, loiter ng, whistling, ruminating ur til nine miles had been passed, and we flung ourselves down on the river-hank to rest. After a swim and a careful toilet we went to the tcwn ' ball, where the sreat dinner was in progres and there was no doubt about our appelates. "Our plates were heaped with good "things; chicken-pie, mashed potatoes, gravr, sauces, pies, but at my place was neither knife, fork nor spoon. I was too bashful to ask for them, or to let any one know of my situation. 1 felt that I c ulrt not endure the apologies and laughter that would follow. So I finally left my loaded plate, and with a heavy heart and an empty stomach walked the nine miles ba k to school." The boy for whom the story was told looked at the General with fixed eves. The General smiled ana went on: -I railed mrself names. I believe. I said to myself, You will make a pretty lawyer, won't you? I aked myself whether I wished to make my life a failure or a sue ess. And I resolved that I would be more of a man, The Busy Bee. Every head of clover consists of about sixty flower tubes, each of which contains an infinitesimal quantity of sugar. Bees will often visit a hundred different heads of clover before retiring to the hive, and in order to obtain the sugar necessary for a load must therefore thrust their tongues into about six thousand different flowers. A bee will make about twenty trips a day, when the clover patch is convenient to the hive, and thus will draw the sugar from 120,(XX)different flowers In the course of a single day's work. Men think they have hard work to make a living, but their employment, however arduous, is an easy and pleasant task compared to that of a working bee. Globe-Democrat. A Hint to Kfatr. The grave young man in ordinary black leather shoes was reading his Bible when the summer girl in white Eton jacket entered the car. The young man's lips moved but he uid not. He pretended not to see. Presently a look of pain flitted across his face. "Excuse me," he growled "yon are standing on my feet." She smiled sweetly. "I beg your pardon," she murmured, "but you did not seem to be using them yourself." Glowering ferociously at the dainty slippers beneath the snowy skirt he made his way to the front alatform.

rv. JS .J-' CHAPTER XXVm Conttiroed. It Wits not a time for formality. The Dearest to him, Elien, was caught in his arms ana kissed, and then he folded Lea to hie heart "Oh, Kalph," said lea, "wo have passed a night of horror. But we eare not now tor that. How has gone the battler "God has prospered the right," replied the Captain. "And you have won?" asked hoth, eagerly. "My gallant men have won, and UnUlla's hand will this day raise the (lag of our province above onr prize, the pirates' ship." The girls gave thanks to God, and then asked for their trie ds. "Mr. Dayton is safe, but Hedges, gollant Hedges, is wounded: not seriously I hope, for I want the world to know that to him, more than any one else under heaven, wo owe our splendid victory." While the captain was speaking, the companionway became darkened and Untilla, Valentine Dayton and the Surgeon came down, supporting Lieutenant Hedges. They laid him en a lounge, and when Lea and Intilla knelt beside him and took his hands, he paid, with a sweet smile on his bronzed face: "It Is only the loss of blood, my dears. Bless your noble hearts, I shall aeon be ready for sea again. But what matters it We have won: we have beaten Captain Udd, the pba'e, and even death is not horrible in the lace of such success. Ha. rah! Hur " The Lieutenant raised his right hand, showinc that the hilt of a broken sword still hung to it. and bo would have gone on with his oheer ng had not the Surgeon rushed to his side and positively forbade it. I tell you, Val I mean Mr. Dayton," aid the Lieutenant, when Until la had taken the fragment from his wrist, and he gave his nephew his hand, "you did gallantly, my lad. You fought the old Sea Hawk just as I knew you would. But we couldn't have won, not even with Captain Denhani's timely aid, if it hadn't been for 1'ntiila. If I were King I'd share my throne with her." "But yon are a king, uncle, and if at the right time the offer ia made, who knows," laughed Talent ne. Both ships were badly shattered, and Captain Denham, with the eye of a true sailor, saw the necessity of getting them to the quiet waters while the wind and tide were favorable. He gave the order to clear the deoks. The pirate dead were put in weighted hammocks, ana dropped overboard, and the wounded were cared lor as well as those of the Sea Hawk. In ten minutes more Valentine Dayton, to whom the generous captain gave the command of the Sea Hawk, would have ordered up the anchors, as Kalph had done on the Wanderer, had not the attention of all been attracted by signals from the shote. Through his telescope, lialph Denham saw Doctor Hedges and his companions crowding down on the beach of Gardner's Island, and he took in the situation. Doctor Hedges hal witnessed the fight between the ships, and his firm belief was that Lea was killed at the first Are; and he telt, to the end of the contest, until he saw Fox making for the shore near by, that the pirate must win. He and his friends were soon after taken on board the two ships. Dr. Hedges whs crushed. After embracing his daughter, which he did with afi affection that was strong and genuine, he sat apart in silence, and watched Captain Denham as he came in and went oat. At length the Doctor rose, and, extending his hand, he said, in tremulous accents: "Captain Ralph Denham, sir " "Speak, Doctor; I am your friend," said Ralph. "I know you are. Captain; but, sir, I do not deserve such a friend. I am unworthy your regard, and Squiro Condit should never speak to me again.- I am afraid I am a fool." "Not at all, Doctoe. This fellow Kidd deceived us all." "Will he get away?" "He can't. I have sent a messenger to Mr. Gardner, and he will soon be captured. But see, Doctor; we are entering Sag Harbor again, and from the crowds of people we shall .have a hearty web ome." The Captain turned away to direct his ship. Side by side, as when first they entered the beautiful bay, loth vessels came to anchor, ami the crowds on shore, seeing the provincial flag on the Wanderer's peak, cheered themselves hoarse, and although it was broad daylight the boys lit bonfires. CHAPTER XXIXLORD ABO LADT PAI.ITON. Captain Denham's first duty, after he got clear of the delighted crowds that beset him, was to dispatch a wellmounted rider to New York with tho news of his success. This rider was the man Fox had so arbitrarily arrested and Imprisoned on board the! Wanderer, where the Sea Hawk men found him. It may be said that in the n eantime Squire ( ondit had captured Thrasher, and held him to aw.iit the action of the authorities, who subsequently puni hed him with the pirates, many, of whom were hanged in New York harbor. Lieutenant Hedges was cai ried ashore and in the same boat came Don from the Wanderer and Othello from the Sea Hawk, and when the part the youths had played in the struggle became known they were lionized and made much of in a way that would havo turned ordinary heads. The wounded Montauks, at Di. Hedges' argent reiuest, were taken to his house. It may be that his brother, the lieutenant, suggested this, for, beinc close to the wounded w triors he would be sure to see a great deal of Untilla, and In th s he was right. The wounded men of the Sea Hawk, in response to the prayers of friends, were sent to their own houses, where all subsequently recovered. Bat while the ships were coming to anchor and the people and the sailors Irere cheering on ship and shore, a different scene was taking place in the main room of the King's Arms Inn. There were assembled Col. Graham, Lady Paliton, the young provincial ollleerwhohad accompanied her, and old Dinah, aad for a part of the time, Squire Condlt. They had been some lime in consultation, and Old Dinah had just finished her strange story when Graham said, with a sneer; H Lady Paliton chooses to believe the wild story of a crazy old negress to that of herdead husband's brother, well and good. She is a free agent." "A free agent," repeated the lady, starting to her feet and throwing back the long black veil that to far had partly covered her rale face. "Since the day of my husband' dea'h you havo prevented my being a free agent. " 'How so, madam?" "How so, Sir' Shall I repeat the m ts f all these years cf cruelty, the stories of your spies, your attempts on my life, aad your efforts to prove me Insane, fcteease " Because, madam, you persisted n that yoor uoa, my nephew,

was not drowuod at tho same time si your husband, my brother. Jlore than that, madam, you persisted in nsBtiring the worid that I conspired against tho lives of both." "En de lady was right," priod Dinah. "Kidd "eo knowd it, en I khowd it, en I foiled de chile liar, to dis Long Island, en Ize been har obber sense." Colonel Gioham raised his hand to his lipa as if to hide a yawn, an i without taking tho slightest notice of Dinah, ho said: "Of course, yon believe this!" "I do, sir, and you will learn boforo the day passes that others believe it, too." Turning to the young provincial offi cer who had mco ii nnieil her from Now York, Lady P nil ton said: "He pleased to call Sq lire Condlt," The S ulre. who was waiting ou'.sido oamo in, and. In obedience to the lady's request, ho told of the co ninfi of Kalli Douhain to his house twenty-one years belore. "And you remember the man who brought him to you?" asked Lady Palitin. "I do, madam; it was this man, Col. Graham, and every year sinoo then ho has sent me money for tho care of the lad, not ono penny of which have I spent, but have it all nt intoiost. The boy became a dear to my heart as if he" were my own, and God will b.-ar me witness that lialph Denham is a young man that a king need not be ashamed to acknowledge for his eon." "You hear this, sir," said the lady. "Hare you any reply?" "I huvo none, minium. Ion have no right to quest on mo. and I only yield in order to humor the mania that lias possessed you like an evil spirit for years," said (.rnhiim. Attracted by the shouting of the peo pie outride, lor the ships were anchoring in the bay, the Squire left tho room. Up to ihs time Graham ilrm.y believed that i-'ox had told h.m the truth about Kalph Den ham, and that the latter was dead. An I just then he would have rejoiced to know that the pirate had met a similar fate. As If in response to his wish, he heard a man shouting in the street: "Hurrah! hurruh! tho pirate Kidd is beaten and his ship captured!" "Kidd woul 1 never surrender, "thouuht Graham, and for a moment ho thought the fates wore siding with him. "De ind Is comin'; I feel de ind Is comin'," said Dinah, gomi; to the window and drawing back the curtains so that those in the room could see the ships as if they were painted and s-t in a ltamo. "Sen." she continued. "Dar's Kalph Den'aiu's ship, en soon ye'Jl see Kalph Den'am hlsself." "lialph Denham " exclaimed Graham; then conscious that he made a nnstako in not keeping h s feelings under restraint, he arched his brows and said lightly, "I shall bo pleased to see the gentleman." Coming quickly back Dinah pointed a long finger at him, and she f nlriy hic-se J as she said: "Ah, ye tlnk Kidd ho kill lialph Den'am? Ho, ho, I saw 'im in do tomb, but me en Untilla sabed 'im. Look out at da- ship, lialph Don'nm's on 'erdis bress'd minit," "No, Dinah, Kalph Denham is here," said a strong, manly voice at tho door. All tu.ned to tho place and there 6tood Captain Denham, very pale and very handsome, and beside hint was Squiro Condlt, The instant lialph Denham came ashore, tho Squire, who had learned tho story of his adopted son's life the nisiht before from Lady Pnliton and Dinah, took him to one side, ami, without waiting to congratulate him on his magnificent victory, he told him the story of his birth as briefly as possible, announcing the fact that his mother, Lady Paliton, was then at the inn, During all the trials and t lie combat, Ralph Denham never lost his head, but now he was weak as a child. Ho gave no thought to the wealth and honors that might be his by right of birth, but the thought that he, who remembered nothing of a father's care or a mother's loo, 6hould havo a mother living overpowered him. He permitted the Squire 1o lead him to the inn and ho replied to Dinah's words, but beyond that, for some his brain and heart wore In a whirl, and his recollection of events very dim at best. He recalled the cry. "Jly son! Oh, heaven be praised, my son!'' And he recalled the fact that he held the form of a woman in black in his arms, and that-he kissed the closed eyes and tho white face, till she looked up again and cried, "Sly son, 1'alph, my son!" Not even in tho war with tho motherlandwhich came just eighty years after this was Sag Harbor so much excited as at this t me. There were not wanting those who bad always bellevei that the day would come when It Would be shown that lialph Denham, now Lord Paliton. was of noble descent. Dr. Hedges was not one of these people. Indeed, Dr. Hodges, though thankful that all had turned out so well, was a humbled m.iu, for he confessed to the Squire that he had made " a plauel fool" of himself. He never expected Lord Paliton would marry his daughter, but it was not for this he cured. H was the fact that he had courted an outlaw whom ho did not know, and rejected a gentleman whom he did know, that galled him. Those who waited on Colonol Graham in his room at the inn said that Horn the time Ralph Denham entered the place till the Colonel's death, two days afterward, ho never spoke. Dr. Hedges attende I him, but he never ould tell the diM-ase tho man died of, and the f w who knew his black history made no inquiries. Within the Week a letter came from tho Governor of the province, than iing Captain Denham and his men for his brilliant exploit, and announcing the fact that Fox or iudd- had been captured and sent to Boston, from which point he would bo returned to Kngland for trial. It is a matter ot history that Kidd was afterwards hung in London; but, strangely enoug'i, the crime of plra -y could no:, be sustained ngainst him, and tho charge on which he was convicted was for murdering an Lnglisu sailor on the isl.md of Madagascar. The governor also ordered Captain Denham to bring his own ship and the prize to New York, and to come by way of the Sound. A week alter the capture the ships were ropairod so far as to make sailing safe, and on the morning of their departure somo n tablo events happened. Valentine Dayton was married to Ellen Condlt and took his wife on board his ship. Lieutenant Hedges sail he would like to go to New York, and felt quite Btrong enough, if only I nlilla would come along to help care for him, and she consented. Lady Pa iton feared that her son's affections were engaged, but when she came to know Lou. Hodges, her fear became a delight, and kissing her, after Kalph had told of his engagement, she said: "I have found a son and a daughter. I am blessed." Kalph Denham took. his wife and mother on board the Wanderer, and ho insisted that his adopted fa her and mother should come too. Ho also prevailed on Dr. Hedges and wife to be or the party; and le brought along Don and othoilo to wait oh them. In New S'ork Bay Kalph, to continue tho name I y which we know him lost, met with a royal reception. The ships in the harbor were drosse 1 with (lags, all the guns in the battery at the southern end of Manhattan Island thundered out a welcome. When tho story of his romantic life became known, the people lorgot the brilliant exploits of the past, and Iho older members of society recalled the fate or the t iovornor of llermuda and tiie loss of his son. Doctof Hedges was still humbled, i!i ugh iho father-in-law of a rich lord; but Squiro Condit took the whole oiat-

tor for granted, and went on Bailing "his boy" lialph, and behaving in that sturdy, manly way that always distinguished him. 1 lph gave Ids share of the prlzo money to me men, and soon after that there were more marriages In Sag Harbor than over tuok place in the saino period before or finco. At Lady 1'aliton s the mother's suggestion, the Wanderer was pur-chas-ed to convey her n and daughter to England, though subsequently the boautiiul ship made n voyage to America every year, when lialph. hi- wl e and increasing .amily cunio to see their old dear irielids. Don, tho cabin boy. went to England with the captain, an I his mother coming to oe him, they both remained all their live in the service of generous Lord 1 aliton. Othello wont into tho service of Squire Condit, and though he showed a strong nlsposition to marry, Dinah would not. permit, it while ho lived. But he was only forcc-l to live single for a yonr, .- t the on 1 of which time the old woman d.cd and was buried among tho Montauks. Unoas never recovered from his humiliation. Ho took to drink and was soon gathered to his father. L'ntU.a still ruled the tribe. She took a great interest in Jlr. Hedges, and after a year became hi- wife. The Wanderer came back from England at the lime, and on her ret irn Captain Uedg o and his beautiful wifo were on board, the guests of l ord and Lady Paliton. And thus it came about that, a pe-t of tho ocean, a wolf in sheep's do hing, wa-- destroyed by the very devices he had set for the ruin of other. And ti us it came to p ss, the noble by nature was shown to be n noble by birth; and so proving thai "worth makes tho man, and want of it the fellow." (TUB KSD. j

FUN IN ODD PLACES. Some Kev-Yorhcrs Perlve Much Amusement from Advertisements. "Why do you read the advertisements in your paper first?" asked one gentleman of his friend in the next seat of an elevated car on its way down town. "For fun," replied the other. "I never knew there was anything funny in ads," said the first man. "That's because you don't look for it there," was the answer. "Look at this little one, for instance: S5 REWARD for return of plain, openface lady's iroid watch. No. ith ehntelaiue pin. 1. st April 13 on Broadway, or In car, between Ninth street and Foriythird street "Now," continued the speaker, "just imagine an open-face lady losing her watch. Why, that's the funniest thing in the paper." An.l he laughed so heartily that he disturbed everybody in the car. The mail who found fun in the advertiseiiiff columns is not alone in his fad. Another citizen who keeps a scrap-book of-queerly worded advertisements shows the following gems as samples of the writers' art: "Ttvo sisters want washing." "To Kent A roem to a gentleman, large, airy and square." Most landladies prefer their roomrenters and boarders square. "Lost A savage bull-dojf. The finder will oblige the owner by keeping the dog," is an advertisement which the inserter thought was worthy of being paid for as a Joke, as no address was given by the advertiser. The pianist who advertised for a piano suitable fur an artist with carved lvg never got exactly suited, hut it is to be hopotl thit the watcnman out of employment ho advertised for a Job, saying that "wages and sleep were no object," ought to have been accommodated, and probably w,is. Just why a physician advertised for "an office boy who can drive," may never be known, unless he wanted a coachman who could keep books by double entry. A Arm on the Bowery advertised for u-ii putter-on at good wages." "Hair cut while you waif is the pleasing incluiemetit held out to customers of a Broadway tonsorlal establishment, which also advertises that men wanting noses and ears trimmed will have to go to a rival establishment The advertising columns as a rule are more entertaining than "The Poet's Corner.

The preacher had not been there very long before a man ami woman came to the door and asked to be directed to a clergyman, as they wanted to get married. -Mr. Hubbell said that one as thero. The anxious couple entered (he bouse and the alleged pn acher went tlin.u h the usual form of words. Mr. and Mrs. Hubbell consented to act as witnesses and promptly aril sod their signatures to a loeunien which they supposed was a marliiigo ecrliliea e. A few days after Farmer Hubbell' was surprised to receive word from the bunk where ho transacts business, that a note of his for 2s had j st been discounted there.

Many arguo in favor of selling by w eight ramer than by the dozen, but old established customs are very hard to change There a e reasons in favor of tho change. To the stronn argument that eges differ much in weight, it may bo answered tflat when they are soid by the dozen it is to those who have iheir eyes open, and who, therefore, need not pay prices which ihey i onsider too dear for eggs oi a certain quality. To this it may be answered that very many eggs aie continually changing hands which are not seon at all, tho parties who suffer being the consumers. "As things are," says a writer in the Household Companion, "it would certainly pay the producer better to keep some variety of fowl ivhich lays a largo quantity of egg instea i of largo sized when they are to bo sold irrespective of size.

BATTLE HAS BEGUN.

IN THE HOUSE AN ORATORICAL CYCLONE OPENS. Many ItftproHr.iiintlvcs Give Notice that They Intend to licllver .Siilc1ioh on the Rulijcct nf nuance Nenate Is Relieved from llfLHty Action. Thr l:xtm Srlon. WushiiiKtr n corn siiemioncf:: UK plan suggest od by the anti-silver men by which to get tho silver question "on" in ttio Houso has been tigreod to, and tho battle can bo said to have begun. Congress has settled down to debate with n degree of eviinrlitinn nlnmvt nnl.'timvn in iti hwt' .i'y. The action cf 1 tho Houso on th .t1 sliver question re lieves the Senate majority from any j jj , nasty action, ino 'I program in tho House was definitely fixed by the adoption of the order introduced by Repre sentative Bland. Tho time will be de- , wtoil exclusively tit the consideration ; of the siler question wmier the rules of the la-it Hi.use governing general debate. Notwithstanding the apparent lack of interest in the discussion manifested by members, the number of applicants" for recognition on the Speakcr'e liet lU'iuotiKt i iitos that the period aiotled to the debate eleven days under tho general i tiles and throe days under tho live-minute rule will be all occupied. There are at tho time this is written between ninety and one hundred names enrolled by the Speaker, tho great majority of whom probably expect to talk the full hour allowed by the rule. There are a number, howover, who havo stipulated for shorter periods, generally twenty minutes or half an hour. H it appears that the timo for the debate will be too shot to accommodate all who wish to speak, night sessions will be held to lengthen tho period. Rules for the Honse. Secretary Carlisle spent an hour or two with Speaker Crisp in his room at tho Capitol, and they probably touched upon the subject of rules in the course of their conversation. Nothing could bo moro natural than that Mr. Crisp should solicit an opinion from his predecessor in tho Speaker's chair, and especially from one who won such high reputation as a presiding officer as did Mr.Carlisleinthat position,and any suggestions the Seoretary saw fit to make would doubtless lie most carefully considered by the committee. There"is hut one rule about which any general interest attaches the one governing closure. The best obtainable opinion is that there will be no radical change from the rule in force in last Congress which gave the House power to end debate or prevent filibustering upon any proposition whenever tho majority so desired.

Cnrloslties of the Wild Fig Tree. The wild fig tree is found at various points along the southern const, being entire'y tro. ical, and most every island in the Everglades contains more or lose of them. This is a remarkable tree. It first makes its appearance as the creeper nnd seizes on the largest tree It can find, continuing; to encircle it in its meshes until it deprives it of life, when it feeds upon the decayed matter and becomes a beautiful tree. On one of the islands in the Everglades during Gen. Harney's operations, two of these large, wild fig- trees were discovered, standing- about ton feet apart, which decorated tho center of the island. Thoy had each attacked a palmetto and "ono of them was dead, but tho top of ths other was Btill blooming in the center, although completely surrounded. Tho Indian name of the wild fig; tree is "ho-co-moth-locco. "St. Augustine News. A New Aneroid. Edward Whympor, the well-known authority on mountain climbing', has introduced a new form of aneroid, designed especially for use in mountain travel or for a-ronauts. This form of mountain aneroid is intended to avoid tho inaccuracies which result from continued exposure to low atmospheric pressure. It is inclosed in a perfectly air-tight outer case and the internal atmosphere is kept at about a normal pressure at all times, except when an observation is to bo taken. The cock is t hen opened and communication with the external atmosphere is established. After tho reading- is taken the pressure is restored to the normal by means of a small force-pump. The conditions thus correspond to those which originally obtained when tho aneroid was graduated under tho air-pump receiver. TTow Ha ant HiininM', Antc-graph. A small boy once saw CharleB Sumdor's frank on a public document and. avaricious of autographs, straightway sat down and wrote to him, saying: "By the aid of Webster's unabridged, the Latin and Greek lexicons, and the assistance of my high school teacher, I have made it out to be your name. If that is so, and you can do it again, please do it for mo." The Senator, amused by what flippant people in these days would call the gall of the youth, replied: "I am glad to learn that you have so many helps to education. It was my name. I can do it again, and here it is. Yours very truly, Charles Sumner." New York Times. Accommodation Notes. When tho maker of a note receives no consideration for which he promises the payment in the note, but makes it simply to lond his credit to the payee, so that said payee may raise money on the maker's name, then it is an accommodation note. He w ho is so accommodated cannot recover the money promised by the maker. If. however, the note be" indorsed over to a third party '"for value received," then the

i maker is holden to the third party, even though the nature of the note was known by said third party when he received the note. The Red, White, and Bine." The music and the words of the song "Red, White, and Blue" originated in Great Britian, and the words were but slightly altered in the attempt to adapt it to the United States.
