MISS DASHWOOD’S PLOT.

“ And ho, nir, this in vour decision ?” “ Honor, fut,her, forbids any other. ” “Do you moan kvsay, Hir, that you ni’.e engaged to the uirl?” “ Not exactly. L await her decision.” “Then yon have proposed?” “ I have, Hir.” “And you are resolved to marry Miss Cameron, and not Miss Dashwood?” “ If Miss Cameron will accept me.” “ Very well, sir—very well. This is your gratitude—this your Jilin 1 duty, you sell willed, ungrateful dog, in/return for the trouble I’ve had for you the efforts I've made to seenre. for you tho best mat 'li in the country. Here in a tine, liaudsijme, dasliing young woman ; rich, and belonging to one of the lirst families in tin eoiintry, whom you throw aside for tiie sake of a pah'-faced chit ol a elergyuvin’s daughter ” “ Father !” “ Don’t, father me, sir—don’t interrupt me don’t speak to me again! Get, out of my sight,! but remember the day on which you marry Dona Cameron you will cease to bo tt sou of mine. I’ll disown, I’ll disinherit you, air, and leave all I have to tlio new orphan asylum !’’ Sueli was the scene enacting in Squire Chester's parlor a scene frequently presented upon the stiige to sympathizing and delighted crowds an irate father, portly, red-faced and loud-voiced, with hands beneath coat-tails, a la Pickwick, and eyes glaring wrath fully through gold-rimmed spectacles upon a handsome and uudiitiful son, bent upon wedding the object, of liis soul's idolatry against the wishes of his father. Yet in I liis instance it, was no mere acting, but on the part of each serious and resolute earnest. To add to the dramatic ('fleet, at the moment in which the Squire’s last words were spoken, a fair, delicatelooking gill, who was about entering 'he room, catching the sound of the voice, paused an instant with her hand 011 the door-knob, as if hesitating whether to enter. And thus it happened licit she heard her own name mentioned several times in connection with the threat already mentioned. She turned then, and glided swiftly up the stairs to her own room. Docking tile door, she threw herself on a couch, and burying her face iu the pillows, remained a long time quite motionless. She did not weep, hut when she at length rose her face was pale, and her sweet blue eyes had a haggard look of Hollering painful to witness in one so young. Seating herself at the table, she drew toward her a writing desk, and wrote as follows: Utah Cousin I’hilii l : Since our interview or vcsUnluv L hue thought the matter over, and cmic pi (bo conclusion that it would bo bed that wo should no! marry. ]>o not blame me do not question ino. ever. 1 have reasons which i cannot explain, bill act as 1 think will be best for both of us. Puna W ncrc is Miss Cameron?” questioned I’hilip ot the servant who had handed him the note. “Gone over to Elmwood, sir, to her aunt, Mrs. Page, I heard her say she would stay there until her return to the city in a lew days,” An hour after Philip Chester was on his way to Ehmvood. The path was lonely, leading through a sequestered wood, and he was consequently surprised when, at an abrupt turn.ng, he cam.' Biiddoniy lace to face with a young lady —very tall, very handsome,’and attired in a rich riding Jut -it and floating plume. Philip lifted his hat respectful]v, and would have passed- oh, but the ’ lady paused full iu the path before him. “Excuse me—you are Mr. Philip Chester?” He bowed. “ And I am Josephine Dash wood.” In liis surprise he hardly knew what to say. “ L ilid not know—l was not aware of Miss Dashwood's .being iu the neighborhood.” 1 uare say not. You wore expecting perhaps, you and your honored lath, r, to behold me for the first time at tiie residence of my respected uncle and guardian, Simon Waldor, Esq. Hut you see 1 was too anxious to wait, so I concluded to run down for a day or two to Elmwood on the strength of Mrs. Page being an old friend of my mother. I wanted to see you, Mr. Chester.” “ You do me honor,” said'Philip, puzzled in wliat manner to treat this trank avowal. The young lady meanwhile played carelessly with her horse’s mane. b. 11111 °f this accidental meetshe resumed, “for I was just limiting how it would be possible to obtain a private interview.” Philip started. “I believe,” continued she, coolly, “ that there has been some arrangement made concerning us by these two old I mean by your much honored father and my highly respected uncle—a little

matrimonial scheme, if I am not mistaken. Very kind of them, doubtless, though it might have been kinder to have left ns to choose for ourselves and be happy in our own way.” A faint gleam of hope began to dawn on Philip. 'zMft “ I want to tell you a 'Secret, Mr. Chester. May I trnst you?” “ If you wifi do me the honor,” he replied. “ Ah, I see yon don’t like me, bat you will after a while. This, then, is my secret. I am in love—pray don’t be alarmed—not with you.” ' “ Thank you!” said he, almost involuntarily. “ With a very handsome, very clever, very worthy and deserving young man,” resumed Miss Dasliwood, with unmoved seriousness—“but poor. And you are iu love with one equally perfect, but suffering under the same stigma.” Hlle looked at him seriously, now,with her dark eves, and he met the gaze frankly? “ Now we understand each other,” she said, resuming her former tone and manner ; “ and now we can act as seems best to do under the circumstances. It won’t do to rebel openly against those two old fogies—l beg their pardons—those wise and venerable old gentlemen; but we can manage quietly to circumvent. them and have our own way—can’t we ?” “ Perhaps you have formed some plan to that effect!” said Philip, half amused and half interested. “You shall hoar,” she answered. “I am told tliat your dear, delighted father admires ‘ dashing Indies,’ Avants a dashing daughter-in-law, and mistress of his establishment. You will dine to-mor-row at Elmwood. Be sure not to disappoint Mrs. Page, who knows all about it, and takes a tender motherly interest in the affair. Wo will see whether the old gentleman is satisfied with liis chosen (laughter-in-law. But, whatever occurs, your role, remember, is to be perfectly charmed. Wifi you accept your part, Mr. Chester ?” Half laughing, and half wondering, he agreed. And so they roile on through the shadowy wood-path, Philip Chester liking his companion far better than he had previously thought possible of Miss Dasliwood. Beene second, act first, transport us to tiie drawing-room, where sat that grand old lady, Mrs. Page, in all the formal dignity of a country dinner dress, endeavoring to entertain some half dozen guests, of whom Squire Chester was one. Seated near an open window, lie was anxiously awaiting the appearance of Miss Dasliwood, with a vague hope as to the effect which might be thereby produced upon liis uudntiful son. That self-willed young man lounged near, conversing with a lady, while Lena Cameron, very pale and quiet, xvas bending over a bit of embroidery Avith fingers that trembled a little, and eyes that were rarely uplifted. Suddenly the sharp notes of tho bugle pierced the ears of the assembled company. - “That is Joe !” said Mrs. Page. “I am glad she is come, as now we can have dinner,” “Joe?” doubtfully inquired one of the lady guests. The Squire looked, from the window as invited, and beheld a figure in a man’s hatband coat, as lie thought, and a woman's skirt, dashing full speed up the avenue toward the house, with half a dozen dogs accompanying. Springing from the horse unassisted, she proceeded to loosen the saddle and throw it upon the ground, then walked several times around the horse, evidently examining into his condition, and discussing the same Avith the groom, Avho laid now appeared <m the grounds. If Squire Chester regarded this unexpected appearance of his son’s wife Avith any emotions of surprise of disappointment, ho at least did not express it. On the. contrary, he bowed and shook hands Avith the true old style of gallantry and courtesy, as that young lady presently entered the room, followed by two of the dogs aforesaid, to whom she Avhistlcd an encouragement to enter. “Oli, my dear, the dogs!” remoustrated (Mrs. Page, piteously ; avo are not accustomed to have them in the drawing-room. ” “Dear me! not have daAVgs in the drawingroom! Why L have mine Avith mo everywhere, and all over the house. Couldn’t do without them, I do declare. Like dfiwgs, sir?” site inquired, with a pretty drawl, of her future father-im law. “Very much —iu their proper place,” the old gentleman felt constrained to s-ay. To which Miss Dasliwood replied by a jilkt perceptible shrug of her graceful shoulders; and then they went in to dinner. “ No turkey, thank you,” she said, “I never take fowl—its only lit for invalids and Indues ; so insipid. I’ll take some roast beef—rare, if you please—though I prefer steak and onions,” And besprinkling the gory slice. Avith an abundance of cayenne sauce, Miss Dasliwood commenced her repast, while tho Squire turned aivay iiis eyes, meeting those of Lena Cameron, liis wife’s niece, avlh> had been regarding the proceedings of the “ dashing ” young lady with an expression akin to horror. Poor child, she Avasn’tiu tho secret. But the Squire thought, as he looked at her, how very delicate and refined and lady-like she appeared. Miss Dasliwood declined sherry, but accepted a little port instead, though expressing a preference for French brandy and water. “It was quite the ‘style’ now,” she asserted, “for ladies to prefer brandy.’’ Indeed, some ideally professed a partiality for Bourbon, though she herself considered it inferior to brandy iii point of taste and refreshment, and Squire Chester felt provoked at the assiduity with which his son refilled the young lady’s glass and listened admiringly to all she said. “Let us have some music,,” said Mrs. Page when they Avere again in the drawing-room. And the Squire, avlio was devoted to music, looked up and brightened. It was one of his anticipations, that of liis son’s Avife playing for him and soothing him iu liis after dinner hours with the melodies he loved. “Now, Loua, one of your favorite songs,” saiil her aunt, quietly ; and she sat down, and in a sweet, low and somewhat plaintive voice,- sang “Bonnie Doon ” and “ Annie Laurie.” “ That is the kind of music I like,” remarked Squire Chester to his hostess, nollo roar. “ Those charming old songs are worth all the modern fol-de-rols that Have, ever been written,” and he looked thoughtfully fit Miss Daslnvood and then at Miss Cameron. Likewise he harkened to the discourse that was going on between the former and liis son. “1 do so doat on horses,” observed the young lady. “ I couldn’t do under two of my own—a rider and a hunter. I delight iu hunting Avherever it is to be found, and generally on that account pass my summers on the mountaius, though doer are becoming very scarce, and Avoodcock as much so. I Avisli we had fox hunting here as in England. I prefer novels where fox-hunting comes—- ‘ Guy Livingstone,’ for instance, AVliat a splendid fellow lie Avas, and what a humdrum country is ourß, where there is nothing to amuse one except theaters. If I had my own way I should he an actress. Don’t you think so too, Mr. Chester?” “ Capital!” responded that young man Avith emphasis, and a pleased, lialfamused, lialf-eamest look, which didn’t escape liis watchful sire, though he did not uuderstand it. “ He’s a ninny !” was the mental reflection of the latter. “ What sort of a

wife would she make?” was his next involuntary thought, until it suddenly occurred to him, with something like a shock, that this was really, after all, the woman he had chosen for his son’s wife, for his daughter-in-law, for the mistress of hie house And household. And again he looked at Lena—very kindly this time. “ Yon must see my Beelzebub, resumed Miss Dashwood, enthusiastically; “such a charming creature ! full of spirit, yet so tractable and affectionate I assure you, sir,” addressing the Squire, “ he’ll walk into the breakfast room and drink out of your coffee-cup at the table.” This assurance appeared to have no particular charm for Squire Chester, for he turned away with very little ceremony. Miss Dashwood went up stairs on some errand, anil they heard her whistling as she crossed the halL “Philip,” Avhispered the Sqaire, “I think we liad better be going.” “Not yet, sir. Miss Dashwood is about to show me her new pistols, and then she will teach me a new game with cards, and afterward we are to go to the stables.” “ Go to where ?” “To the stables, sir, to look at the horses. ” The Squire cast on him a look of concentrated indignation. “Is that—is Miss Dasliwood, or Joe, or whatever she is called, a man or a woman ?” “ Tiie latter I presume, sir. It is the fashion nowadays, you know, for dashing young women like her to adopt a masculine style in general. It sits well ou Miss Joe—don’t you think so, sir?” “ Miss Joe be—” The old gentleman recollected himself in time. But he had seen enough of the dashing Miss Josephine, his old friend, Simon Walder’s niece, and very moody was he as he rode homeward that night. “Philip,” said he, a day or two after, “ I don’t see the use of your going to Elmwood so often, noAV that Miss Dashwood is there.” “AVliy not, sir? I thought you would like it. “The truth is, I’m disappointed in Miss Dashwood. I can’t approAc of such a Avoman as a Avife for any man save, a horse-dealer or circus rider. Especially should I not approve of her as mistress of this house. “ I have no desire to sec my drawingroom turned into a dog-kennel, or to have horses Avalking in and drinking out of my coffee-cup. In fact,-” said the Squire, waxing warm, “I Avon’t havemy future daughter-in-law going about the house whistling and odorous of brandy and cigars, too, I shouldn’t wonder ; I heard her say it Avas the fashion. Ugh !” Philip was satisfied; the more so Avhen, a week later, liis father observed that little Lena would make as good a Avife for him as any he could get. The wedding took place Avitliiu six months. Miss Dashwood, herself a happy bride, Avas present, and tho Squire, wondered exceedingly at the great change and improvement wrought in her by the influence of marriage.

The Tallest Man in America.

The papers are speaking of a tall man named Thurston, who now lives on White Oak creek, Titus county, Texas. He is seven feet six inches high, standing bare-footed. He is a half-brother to Dr. Thurston, of Versailles, Mo. Mr. Thurston went to California some years before the war. and his companions had a great deal of fun with him. When they saw a train of wagons coming to meet them they would carefully conceal Henry in a wagon, and avlicu the train came up tiiey would manage to introduce the subject of tall men. They would propose to bet any sum that they had the tallest man in the oroAvd. It so happened that most of Henry’s companions were men of medium stature, and it Avas not hard to get up a bet. When the money would be staked, they would then bring Henry out of the Avagon, and propose to have the measurement take place right away. The beaten parties never failed to enjoy the joke, and always passed over tho money cheerfully. Henry Thurston Avas a soldier in the Confederate States army. Ke had a brother named Lafayette Thurston, who was also a very tall man; but not so tall by several inches as Henry. Lafayette Thurston was woundcd in the leg at Jenkins’ Ferry, and it was found necessary to amputate the leg about half Avay from the knee to the foot. He then had a longer leg than a great many men have. We think Lafayette died from the effect of this wound. Col. Austin M. Stanton, chief of Gen. Parson’s staff, was a tall man, and he frequently stood straight under Henry Thurston’s arm while extended horizontally. In a crowd of men Henry Thurston always appeared like a man standing on a stump overlooking the by-standers.—Deaf-Mute A dvane.c.

A New Remedy for Burns.

Dr. G. F. Waters, of Boston, recently tested before the meeting of the Massachusetts Dental Society a new remedy for burns and scalds, consisting of the application of bicarbonate of soda, the simple cooking soda used in all families. The doctor dipped a sponge into boiling hot water, and squeezed it over his right Avrist, the water flowing almost completely around tho arm, and nearly encircling it Avith a severe scald two inches in width. Not content Avith this, he dipped the sponge a second time, and pressed it closely on the under side of his wrist for thirty seconds. He then applied bicarbonate of soda to the scalded surface, and laid over it a wet cloth, and the intense pain was banished as if by magic. On the next day after this severe test, the scald, with the exception of the part purposely made most severe, Avas practically healed, only a slight discoloration of the skin shoAving where the scalding Witter had flowed—this, too, with out a second application of the soda. The flesh on toe under side of the wrist had been cooked doAvn to the sweat-glands, and the scald Avas one which ordinarily would have caused an open and painful wound of long duration. The only treatment of this, however, after the first application of the soda, was to keep the part moist with a wet cloth, and rio pain was experienced, and it Avas but a few days before this severe wound Avas seen to be rapidly healing.

A Romance of the Rebellion.

At tlie battles of Antietam ami South Mountain a Colonel was wounded—his arm fearfully shattered—and he was borue from the field by his brothers and a private soldier. They carried him across the country a long and toilsome distance, every step of which was torture to the sufferer, to the house of a Maryland Union farmer. Then came the übiquitous Yaukec surgeon with his glittering knives and cruel saws, and made liasty preparations to amputate the ailing member. The farmer vehemently protested, declaring that the man would die if the arm was cut off. The. surgeon insisted that the patient would die if the arm was not taken off, and the Colonel’s brothers coincided with the surgeon. But the determined old farmer dispatched his son od his fleetest horse across the fields to the other side of the mountain after his friend and neighbor, a country physician, and a rank rebel. When the rustic Esculapius arrived there ensued a long eontentiou with the Yankee hewer of bones over the sufferer, but tire result was that the arm was saved, and, after some weeks of careful nursing, the Colonel galloped oft' to join his regiment, a comparatively souud man. He subsequently became Governor of Ohio, and now fills the Presidential cljair, —New York Tribune.

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

Around the Farm. Should your wheat be too rank and in danger of lodging, you may go over it with a long roller before it shoots into head. It will check the growth; the wheat will rise again. It has been known to save a crop. A gallon of warm water poured on a pailful of walnut leaves will make a safe wash for horses and cattle, and save them the annoyance of flies. We recommend its use daily until we hear of something better. M. Chatot recommends common salt as an antidote for mildew on vineß. By sprinkling a handful of salt around the base of each vine, the effect, he says, was marvelous; and vines hitherto covered Avith this fungus grew luxuriantly, and had an abundance of grapeß entirely free from oidum.— Paris paper. When planted in very rich soil, tomatoes often produce much wood and little fruit. The best crop of tomatoes I ever saw was furnished by main stems as free from side growth as a walking-stick. All growths, except the leaves and flowers attached to the principal stem, had been pinched off as they appeared. —The Garden. We are often recommended not to give manure Avater to grapevines until the fruit is swelling. I always apply it freely from the time when the young shoots are one inch or two inches long until the fruit is coloring, and I find it to do far more good in strengthening the shoots and produce before the bunches are in flower than at any subsequent period. —Northern Gardener. Some of the best hay wliich we have found in the market this year has been that made from Nepaul barley the yield of which on some tule farms exceeds three tons to the acre. The greatest hay-producing district this your Avill include the reclaimed lauds, and even lands partially reclaimed, the owners of which have no complaints to make about drought, northers, or heated terms. — San Francisco Bulletin. Mr. Steeke said if wo could attract tiie birds to our orchards and fields, we would find a great help toward a successful victory over insect enemies. Among our "best friends is tho little Avren. The blue jay he does not like for his destructive habits toward other birds, and lie has waged a deadly war against them. Our common house cat is a very destructive enemy of birds, and should be watched carefully.— Michigan Farmer. A Derry correspondent of the NewsLetter writes as follows: “Don’t kill the crows even though they raise a little corn on their own liook. A farmer in our town shot one last week, and found his crop literally packed with potato beetles. These are meaner than crows.” We are informed that a Londonderry farmer is this year successfully fighting tho bugs Avith a little army of guinea hens, and there are some Avho claim that ducks will earn an honest living destroying the bugs. —Mirror and Fanner. Heading Down Neavly - Planted Trees. —This subject has been Avritten about for a thousand or more years, but a uoto now and then to a ucav planter of trees may be useful. Iu transplanting more or less of broken roots have to be removed ; these must be balanced by toe top which they have to support. However carefully we may transplant a tree there is a certain cheek given—a certain disorganization of the system takes place. When the roots aud tops are shortened at the same time, the cheek aduiiuiofcerotl in twofol.l We must, therefore, prune very carefully the top of ft newly-planted tree and according to the injury given to the roots. It is possible to raise calves Avitliout giving them fresh new milk, for with a little skimmed milk and hay tea they will thrive almost if not quite as v/01l as upon the pure lacteal fluid. Fifty years ago Sir James SteAvart Denham, of Scotland, instituted experiments in raising calves with hay ten, taking them from their mothers when three days old, and those experiments Avere eminently successful. Two pounds of hay avoic steeped in tweuty quarts of water, aud then boiled down one-lialf, and to tliis av as added a quart of skimmed milk. In some instances molasses was added-also to give sweetness, and the calves not only thrived upon this diet but preferred it to fresh milk. — Farmers' Union.

About the House.

How to Use Laud. —Lard for pastry may be used as hard as it can be cut with a knife, and will make far better paste than if let stand.to warm. It needs only to be cut through the flour, not rubbed. Poon Man’s Cake. —One cupful of molasses, one of water, table-spoonful butter, table-spoonful ginger, one heaping teaspoonfnl saleratus, a little salt, flour enough for soft batter. Put in a square pan; bake quickly. Fon Fruit Trees or Large Plants.— Boil one table-spoonful of borax in one, pint of water, and, while warm, paint the stems of fruit trees or plants. This will destroy the green fungi, and prevent insect life from forming in the bark; it will also make the trees healthy, To Take Mildew out of Linen.—Mix soft soap, fine starch and lemon juice to a paste, using equal parts. Spread it thickly on both sides of the clotli and lay on the grass, day and night, till the the spots disappear. This does not make the fabric tender, as many patent preparations for the purpose do. To Disinfect Rooms. —The disinfection of a room is not complete unless the walls have been thoroughly cleansed. If they are papered, the paper must be removed and the surface beneath carefully scraped and washed. If the walls are painted, they should be washed with caustic soda. The ceiling should also be subjected to a similar treatment.—Scientific American. Making Hair Grow. —ls the head be perfectly bald, nothing ivill ever cause the hair to grow again. If the scalp be glossy, and no small hairs are discernible, the roots or follicles arc dead ; and you might as well cause an arm which has beeu amputated to grow again. However, if small hairs are to be seen, there is hope. Use the following every day, brush well, and bathe the bald spot three or four times a. week with cold, soft water : Carbonate of ammonia, one drachm ; tincture of cantharides, four drachms ; bay rum, four ounces ; castor oil, two ounces. Some elderly people often desire to keep their hair from turning gray. The following dye will effect this : Take the hulls of butternuts, say about four ounces, and infuse in a quart of water. Then add half an ounce of copperas. Apply with a soft brush every second or third day. This preparation is harmless, and I have l'easous for believing lias never been published. It is far better than those dyes made of nitrate of silver. Cor. New York Tribune.

A Fatal Duel About Five Dollars.

Col. J. B. Vinton, Sheriff of Frio county, brought in word of the killing of two young men named Virgil Ridgeway and Frank Connelly. Ridgeway and Connelly aud two hired men were out on a cow hunt, and had camped near a Mexican’s house. Connelly went to Ridgeway aud asked for $5, saying that he wanted to go down t-o the Mexican’s house and gamble. Ridgeway gave him the money, but told him not to stay long. Connelly left and did not return as soon as expected, and, when he did return, Ridgeway told him that ho hail no further use for his services, and asked him to pay back the &5. Connelly said, “Maybe you think you can make me pay it back.” Ridgeway said he could

make him, and was going to do so. Connelly then drew his six-shooter, and Ridgeway picked up a "Winchester rifle and jumped behind a tree, and both fired at about the same time, and both were struck in the bowels. The two boys who were with them ran off and returned with assistance, after being absent a considerable time. Both the wounded men had crawled off together to a pool at some little distance, where they were found covered with mud— Connelly dead, and Ridgeway mortally wounded. Neither of the young men was over 18 years of age. —Galveston (Texas) News.

Pioneer Surgery.

Among the first settlers in Old Pike were John Duke, Thomas Buchanan and one or two others in the neighborhood of where Paynesville now stands. The nearest surgeon was at St. Charles, nearly fifty miles away. In the processes of building houses, opening farms, etc., casualties of a serious nature often took place. The nerve and boldness of character so peculiarly necessary to the early pioneers were never more prominently developed than in the case of the parties above named, and one or two others whose names have escaped my memory. There were but four families, as I* recollect,within ten or twelve miles, and these near together. One morning Duke and another man were engaged in chopping timber, the ground being. very wet and muddy. Duke’s tree lell against another and lodged, the butt still resting on the stump. While chopping off the splinters the tree suddenly twisted, slipped off' the stump, and caught his right foot and leg, literally crushing it to a jelly up to about six inches above the knee, and sinking him deep in the mud. Hiseomrado came to his relief, but had to chop off the log twice before lie could be removed. He was taken to one of the cabins, a general consultation of the four called, his leg in its crushed condition bound up as well as possible with the means at hand, and Buchanan started to St. Charles for a surgeon. The creeks were all high, there were no bridges, and it was three days before he returned.

Meantime, further consultation showed that the sufferer must die unless his leg was amputated. To decide was to act. The only instruments were a common butcher knife—always sharp enough—and a common hand-saw, in like manner always dull enough. The leg was amputated with these instruments only, the blood staunched, the wound dressed, and the man was greatly relieved fully twenty-four hours before the arrival of the surgeon. Being a remarkably athletic man of more than ordinary vitality, Duke recovered in a short time. The writer has seen him many times since—as late as 1837, cn crutches, of course, but as active as men with both legs. —Louisiana (Mo.) Press.

Collecting a Debt.

At last a man has been found who has got even with the demon debt collector. One of the hideous tribe took a trip up the country this spring to try and get a debt of $l5O out of a small hotel-keeper who was in arrears to his liquor-mer-chant. Boniface received him politely, and said that he would give him something on account the next morning, as he expected a gentleman then in the house to pay him a bill. The dollarsqueezer, of course, staid over nigh* - -, got up the next morning, called for his bill, paid $3 for his board and lodging to the clerk, and then went for the proprietor to get the promised coin. After hanging round all the forenoon, the smiling debtor held a COllSllltutiun with hin elork, which resulted in a three half-dollars being extracted from the drawer and duly handed to the impatient dun. “ What’s this ?” he yelled. “ Dollar and a half,” returned my host; “you are the party I expected to pay uie a bill this morning, and I think I’ve done a pretty square thing in giving you 50 per cent, of it. Hand me a receipt for the amount and credit me with it on the bill.” —Man Francisco Chronidle.

London Times’ Spelling.

The ’limes is original, even in its spelling. Reproducing one, of ray paragraphs last week, I see that, where I spoke of “farthest,” the Times Will have it “ fnrtlierost. ” It is possible, of course, that the Times is right and the Mayfair wrong about this word; but certainly all the dictionaries I have consulted are in favor of Mayfair, and I kuow, moreover, that the Times has two or three odd notions about spelling certain words, I remember Prof. Tyndall, or some other eminent physicist, remarking that chemists had not been able to discover any force of nature that could compel the Times to spell chemical as it ought to be spelled. It will put y where it should be e, and make a chemist into a ch?/mist. It has a queer idea, too, about dioces.B. It will call a marquis a marquess, and an era an “cera.” There is, however, a limit to its eccentricities. It never yielded to the charm of novelty involved in the new spelling of the names of classical characters and countries, and Kikero andSopholsl s continue to appear in their old familiar dress. — Mayfair.

The Liquor War in New York.

Tlio saloon-keepers of New York are greatly excited by an interpretation recently given to the new License law passed at the late session of the Legislature, to the effect that licensed saloons, if not connected with hotels, shall not sell any beverages except ale and beer. Several thousands of saloons are now daily and nightly dealing out whisky and other throat-burning liquids, and it is the sworn duty of the Excise Board to take away their licenses and shut them up. The saloon men are organizing for protection, with the determination to make a contest for their “rights ” in the courts, and stave off final action by the authorities until the election of si new Legislature, when they will make an issue at the polls, uniting their influence and votes in favor of such legislative candidates as will pledge themselves to repeal or modify the present law. The new Liquor law of that State also pro.hibits the opening of the front doors of drinking saloons on Sundays, and it is anticipated that on next Sunday a vigorous effort will be made by the authorities to enforce this provision.

A Curious Book.

A remarkable book has appeared in Germany, written by one Herr Cobhausen, entitled “ Of the Bare Art of Prolonging Life till 115 Years by the Breath of Young Maidens upon One.” The method recommended is based upon the inscription of a monument said to have been discovered at Rome by a Bolognese autiquary, Gommarus. The inscription runs : “To yEsculapiusand Health, L. Clod ins Hermippus, who lived 115 years and five days through the breath of young maidens, erects this monument. ” Hermippus seems to have been a teacher of girls in Rome, who attributed his unusual length of life to the breath of those with whom ho was daily associated. And now his hypothesis is revived after the lapse of centuries.

Will it Cure the Evil?

At the Tliornwell Orphanage a boy gets twenty-five demerits for kissing a girl. Here we “ apply the hair of the dog to cure the bite.” When a boy kisses a girl, twelve very ugly boys stand in a row on the rostrum in the chapel, and the offender is required to kiss them all, and kiss them well. The girl also, if she is willing to be kissed by the boy, is required to kiss a dozen ugly girls. The ceremony draws a full house, and has never failed to cure.— Orphan's Friend.

Foi tune’s Wheel in Gotham.

“ Burleigh,” of the Boston Journal, thus concisely tells a story of the times of vast financial successes, of ruinous speculation and sudden downfall—as illustrated by the case of one of New York’s heaviest real-estate operators: He was a very successful cotton broker. All the money he made he put into real estate. His revenues were very large. His income was SBOO,OOO a year. One building, near Trinity Church, yielded him a rental of $90,000 per annnm. Everything he touched turned to gold. He was loaded down with cotton. One day a merchant handed him a check of $300,000 to cancel a contract. He took it. Within ten days cotton surged up, and he made a fortune. He owned an elegant house on Fifth avenue. He crowded it with paintings, statuary, and works of art Not content with this, ho was induced by a speculator to take hold of a railroad. He bought bonds at 60. Soon afterward they went down to 40, and the gentleman bought all he could lay his hands on. He took the road. He proposed to run it. He found it unfinished. He equipped it, spent $300,000 in locomotives and rolling stock. Ruin came to him sis it comes to every one who dabbles in outside mat ters. The panic completed bis demor - alization. His fine New York property was mortgaged for more than it was worth. To-day he has ceased to straggle. Few men will be warned and few men will be the wiser for all this. Here is a man who, a few months ago, had a royal income of SBOO,OOO a year. He wanted to make it a million. To-day he is a hopeless bankrupt-.

“Fight It Out.”

A story is told of a daughter of a prominent person now in the locture field, who is peculiarly interesting and suggestive of unconscious wisdom. A gentleman was invited to the lecturer’s house to tea. Immediately on being seated at the table, the little girl astonished the family circle and the guest by the abrupt question : ‘ * Where is your wife ?” Now the gentleman, having been recently separated from the partner of his life, was taken so completely by surprise that he stammered forth the truth : “ I don’t kuow.” “Don’t know!” replied the enfant terrible. “Why don’t you kuow?” Finding that the child persisted in her interrogatories, despite the mild reproof of her parents, he concluded to make a clean breast of the matter and have it over at once. So he said, with a calmness which was the result of inward expletives : “Well, we don’t live together; we think, as wc can’t agree, we’d better not.” He stifled a groan as the child began again, and darted an exasperated look at her parents. {Bid the little torment would not be quieted until she explained: “Can't agree! Then why don’t you fight it out, as pa and ma do ?” “ Vengeance is mine,” laughingly retorted the visitor, after “ pa” and “ ma” exchanged looks of holy horn -r, followed by the inevitable roar. —New Haven Register.

Down to a Business Basis.

They had been married about three months. The boy from the store appeared with a note from her husband. She clutched the precious missive with an eager hand, tremblingly opened it, and read : Dear Wife : Send me a pockethaudkercliief. John. She went slowly to the drawer to get the desired article, and, while looking for it she came across the following note, dated two weeks after tlie wedding : Sunlight of my Roitt, : You will have to send me a handkerchief. Your bewitching eves bo turned - my head this morning that I forgot to take one with me, for which I shall kiss the sweet face of my own a thousand times when I come home. In two hours and twonty minutes it will be 12 o’clock, and then I oan come to my beautiful roso. I long to fly to you. A thousand kisses I send thee, my fairy wife. Yours tenderly, John. She sighed, gave the boy the handkerchief, and sighed again. —Danburg News.

Origin of “ Mollie Maguire.”

The name of the Mollic Maguires comes from Ireland. Some fifty years or more ago a poor woman in Ireland had her cottage pulled down over her head by a landlord. Her name was Mollie Maguire, and she died of grief and exposure. Thereupon her sons and neighbor’s lads formed themselves into a society, and vowed and took fierce revenge on Irish landlords in general. The band spread rapidly, and they called themselves Mollie Maguires* and Irish coal miners brought the name to America.

A Festive Turk.

I have an item relative to the Turkish commander of the Danube army, Adul Kerim. The old man has the most gigantic appetite in Europe. His dinner ordinarily consists of an entire roast kid, twenty-five or thirty boiled eggs, and, when in good form, he tops off with a goose or a chicken. I have this officially. When not occupied with digesting a small lunch of tliis character, the venerable warrior is supposed to be looking after the movements of the Muscovites. —Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Rebellion of the Stomach.

The stomach obstinately rebels against all efforts to make it digest superabundant or indigestible food. When a fit of dyspepsia has been brought on by overindulgence in the pleasures of the table, or any other cause, the invalid can obtain from Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters prompter and more complete relief than from any other source. This admirable specific not only renders digestion active, but regulates the secretion and distribution of the bile, reestablishes a regular habit of body when costivoness exists, rostoros the appetite, soothes and invigorates the nerves, and, if taken before retiring, facilitates sleep. Under these happy conditions, the dyspeptic or bilious subject regains lost flesh, his spirits recover their elasticity, and all the various and harassing bodily and mental symptoms of chronic indigestion disappear.
