WIDOW APPLEDORE’S ROMANCE.

“ A man that thinks of nothing but Ejp’mint oil an’ price of wheat I No! mma .Jane, my life has been humdrum enough, without my ending it with Deacon Bliss. I shan’t have him J ” “ Well, well, Rosetta, if you won’t I don’t know’s anybody’s goin’ ter try an’ make you,” chirped plump, rosy Mrs. Phlox, looking up from the stout blue woolen sock she was knitting. “ Is’pose the deacon thought he’d a right to ask you, bein’ it’s a free country. Caleb Appledoro was a awful nice man, but so's the deacon. Lone wimmen are put on. .Job Whittamore n. gleets your garding, an’ just see what work you have with your fires winters an’ keepin’ roads broke out.” “I’m not going to marry just to have some one tend to the garden and do the chores,” said Mrs. Appledore. “I’ve never found fault with them that’s dead and goue ; but I know what it is to live with a person who does not care two pins for the things I do, and if I ever do marry again it wiil be some one who can sympathize with me. I can’t say I swallow nil ’Lias Bradshaw says about the marryin’ of souls and affinities, but there’s some truth in it you may depend. Besides, I’d like a little romance to my life before I die.” “Ro-mance is all well ’nuff,” said Mrs. Phlox; “but you’re39next March, Rosetta, an’ sech a mac as Deacon Bliss don’t grow on every bush. Bein’ agood provider, an’ a splendid farmer, an’ a deacon, an’ a pillar in the church may not be romantic, but they’re good recommendations in a man you’re thinkin’ of marryin’. I hope you’ll think twice. ” ‘* I have thought, and I shan’t marry the deacon,” said Mrs. Appledore decisively ; “an’ if that’s being romantic, I’m not ashamed of it. ” The little widow did not look romantic. Her complexion was a dull white, and her hair was a dull brown. Dull,

too, were her large gray eyes that blinked behind short-sighted glasses, but her form, though meager and devoid of curve, was not without grace, and she had a dear, sweet soprano voice, which, though it was untrained, she could use with taste and feeling. The Harmonicum, the Dixville musical association, made her the head of all their committees, and relied upon her to sing all the solos. Indeed, without her it could not have existed. The wheezy melodeou, which was a dozen years old before it became the property of the society, had at last collapsed under the energetic sinners of Prof. Jackson Jones, who did the accompanying, and they were trying' to buy a fiiano. They had given concerts and md oyßter suppers till Dixville was tired, when Dr. Ollapod suggested a lecture. It was whispered that the doctor had expected the committee to invite him to read one of his papers on the Semitic tongues; but if he did he was disappointed. They corresponded with many popular lecturers, who all declined to visit Dixville on the plea of engagewhom they knew nothing save that he had lectured in the neighboring villages, to address them. The professor had suddenly appeared in Dixville mounted on a fine gray horse. The next day he was seen to enter the postoffice with a green bag on his arm, and the gossips immediately reported that he was wealthy and had come from Boston. He at once accepted the invitation of the Harmonicum committee, and announced that his lecture would be on the “ Philosophy of Art.” The meetinghouse was hired, and Mrs. Appledore, with a select few, began practicing some music for the occasion. It was the afternoon before the lecture, and Mrs. Appledore had invited her sister to spend the day with her. Domestic duties seemed to be just what Mrs. Phlox was made for. Her husband and sister usually did all her thinking. In return she served them with her hands; but the few notions that did creep into her round head she clung to pertinaciously. The worst kind of a fool i 3 a beetleheaded one,” she said, after a long pause; “an’ puttin’ this and that together, Rosetta, I think you’re preparin’ with your romancin’ to be just that kind of a one.” “Idon’t see how sisters can be so unlike," and Mrs. Appledore drummed a harsh accompaniment to her words on the middle C of her piano. “To be sure, you are the oldest; but age need not make one’s soul a clod.” “It .would be well for you tp remember that all the advantages ate not on your side,” cried Mrs. Phlox* rising with dignity. “There are bodies, yes, and dispositions, that are clods,” and Mrs. Phlox jerked on her calash and went home. The meeting house was full, and the Hex'* day the Dixville Times declared the lecture to have been a most soulful and eloquent dissertation ; but Mrs. Appledore’s attention wandered, and she only knew that the entertainment was to be concluded by Dr. Ollapod’s sonorous call for “moosici” “lam delighted,”said Prof. St. Clair Smith, bowing low before her, as soon as possible after the “ moosic.” “ I never heard such a delicious voice.” Mrs. Appledore coughed behind her hand to conceal her flattered embarrassment, and turned a questioning look on Prof. Jackson Jones, who stood near. “You always sing splendid,” said that gentleman, drawing himself up. “I dare say I put you out. That flute obligato is a deuced hard thing to do. I didn’t do myself jnstice to-night.” “ You’ve always dragged,” said Karl Leopold, who took every opportunity to criticise the Harmonionm doings. Prof. Jackson Jones pulled at his cravat, and Mrs. Appledore’s face was full of resentment. “ I never heard anything finer in Boston,” said Prof. St Clair Smith, coming to the rescue, “ and I suppose you know what that implies.” The night after the lecture was a very stormy one, and Mrs. Appledore was slowly twisting her hair in crimpingpins, when the door-bell rang. “I could not endure the loneliness of the hotel, dear Mrs. Appledore,” said Prof, ments, and the committee at last invited a certain Prof. St. Clair Smith, about

St. Clair Smith, making a courtly bow, “and have come to beg for just one song.” The professor was, so far as outline and coloring go, a handsome man. His head was what is commonly called dome-shaped. His wavy hair and silky beard were a bright yellow red, and his rather-large eyes were blue. He jwfc down in the big rocking-chair, and, taking a twin on each knee, “I renew my youth in children,” he cried, giving them a squeeze. “Do you know the song, ‘The old times were the best times when you and I were young?’ ” “ Oh, yes,” said the widow, nervotudy turning over her music, “ but I can’t say that I feel so very old.” “Dear me, what a blunderer I am,” cried the professor. “I was thinking of my boyhood. I’ve always hated being grown up. A man has so much to fetter his imagination. Yon must have lost your husband in the flnsh of your yonth ?” “ I did,” replied the widow, forgetting that she was 35 when the event occurred. “ The twins were babes.” Bong succeeded song, till the professor proposed duets, and Mrs. Appledore enjoyed the music so much that it was midnight before she knew it. Two months passed away. The professor came almost every evening. He had hired a small house a little out of town, that he might be undisturbed, he explained, and a relative had come to keep house for him. He did not know how long he would remain in Dixville. He was preparing a book for publication, and writing several lectures. When his literary labors were over he was going to take a trip 'somewhere to rest., though friends of his, influential in Washington, were anxious for him to accept a Consulship at an important point. The widow’s neat white cottage stood by itself on the confines of the village. Deacon Bliss’ fields of dark green peppermint and nodding wheat stretching nlong the country road for nearly a mile joined the garden. Before her abrupt refusal of him, the deacon had been accustomed to drop in for a little visit or to bring a neighborly -offering of apples or fresh vegetables. Bnt these calls had ceased, and, cut off from all her sources of news and pleasure, Mrs. Appledore stayed closely at home, practised her music, and entertained the p.of s or. But one sunshiny afternoon Mrs. Phlox came bustling up the prim graveled walk. “ Rosetta Appledore,” she chirped, like an angry bluejay, as she opened the door, “ though a clod, which there are folks that think different, I’ve come to ask you if you know you’re the town talk ? ” “ The town talk ? ” echoed her astonished sister. “Yes, the town talk,” repeated Mrs. Phlox, with wonderful emphasis. “Anybody would be who had spent two blessed months philanderin’ with a married man.” “ Who is married ? ” “ Your Prof. Smith.” “I don’t believe it.” “ I s’posed yon wouldn’t but. I’ve seen his wife,” said Mrs. Phlox, with evident satisfaction. “ Miss Merrills, she ’twas Pearly Ann Truesdale, wouldn’t miss a findin’ out anything if she had to walk ten miles, an’ she called on her, an’ told me. That night I sez to John, ‘John,’ sez I, ‘a sister’s a sister, ’specially if she’s younger an’ a widder, an’ if I be a clod I’m goin’ to the bottom of this ;’ ‘an’,’ sez he, ‘Emma Jane, I think you’d better,’ an’ the first thing he did the next mornin’ was to hitch up an’ take me over on the mile-strip where that fel-. low lives, in Tony Allerton’s cottage. He wan’t in, but she was, an’ she was washin’. “‘l’m Miss Phlox,’sez I, ‘an’come to call.’ ‘Thank you,’ sez she, ‘l’m Miss Smith,’ an’ she set out the only chair there was in the room for me, an’ set down herself on the washbench. “ ‘ Air you Mis 3 St. Clair Smith, the wife of the professor ?’ sez I. “ A sort of smile twinkled over her mouth an’ she sez, ‘ Yes, Miss St. Clair Smith, though I didn’t know Mr. Smith had adopted the St. Clair name. That’s my family name.’ An’ then she went on an’ Bpoke of her husband, an’ of how ambitious he is, an’ how he feels his spear in public life, an’ how she is willin’ to do anything to help him. An’ then she inquired if I thought she could get sewin’ in Dixvillo when she feels a little better an’ is able to do it. ” Tears of shame and anger gathered in Mrs. Appledore’s eyes as her sister spoke. “Is Mrs. Smith good looking? Is she an interesting woman ? ” she asked. “I can’t say how interesting she is. She seemed kind of trod on, so to speak. As for looks, she ain’t any prettier’n you’d be if you worked hard an’ didn’t have half enough to eat,” said Mrs. Phlox calmly. Mrs. Appledore sobbed aloud. “ What do people say about me ? What shall J do ? ” she cried. “They don’t say nothin’ yet, on’y that you’re dreadful foolish,” chirped her sister, rising and putting on her calash, for it w r as almost supper time. “ I can’t siy as I know of anything for yon to do except to tell Mr. Smith to stay t’home. ’Tain’t likely that Deacon Bliss will give you a chance to say yea a second time. ”

There had been a good deal of pleasurable excitement in receiving the professor. To dress herself in her best mourning and to sing her favorite songs to an appreciative listener had been something to look toward to during the humdrum work of the day. The thought, however, of what her acquaintances were saying about her embittered her life, and when the professor again called one glance at her face told him that she knew all. “Dear Mrs. Appledore,” he began, but she checked him. “You had better go home to your wife, Mr. Smith,” she said coldly. Tears, real tears, came into the professor’s big blue eyes. ‘ ‘ But I love you, ” he cried, “ and she has always been an incubus upon my soul. ” “But she’s your wife,” persisted Mrs. Appledore. “I know it,” moaned the professor, rubbing his brow distractedly. “Meats out my vitals when I think of it. She don’t feel as 1 feel. There’s no wings for me as long as 1 am tied to her. We’ve no affinity.” Mrs. Appledore gazed at him in dull wonder. These were almost the words she had used to her sister, but they did not sound pleasantly now. “Hove you, Rosetta,” went on the little man, approaching her; “and I want to ask you just one question : Were I a single man would you marry me ?” “I might,” admitted the widow, smoothing down a fold in her overskirt with a trembling hand. “Enough !” and the professor flung his arms about her and pressed a rapturous kiss upon her forehead. “ Bless you, my darling 1” and before she could answer him he was gone. . The next evening when Mrs. Appledore was taking down her washing from the line she was suddenly clasped from behind by a pair of strong arms. “ You will soon be mine,” said the voice of the professor. “ Fve offered my wife SSO to leave me and she has accepted.V “Accepted,” the widow cried, wrenching herself free. Yes, and as soon as I can sell my book she shall go, I’ve lived in soul isolation long enough. My heart has found its mate.” All the men that Mrs. Appledore knew were quaint of speech and somewhat rustic in manner, but what they considered duty controlled their lives. “You wretch, .she cried, dashing the dothes?in basket at him. “Fifty dollars! QU ain’t worth 60 cents. Go home, «Mi never dare to speak to me again

“ Hear me,” he pleaded, catching hold of her gown. “I can’t stay out here and listen to philanderin’ talk,” she answered resolutely, and twitching her dress from his grasp she entered the house. Bnt the professor's hand was upon the latch. Like most little women, the widow was a curious mixture of timidity and courage. She flung the door opep. “ Don’t von dare to come in 1” she cried. “ I’ll throw hot water on you! HI—HI kill yon 1” Then, slamming the door in his face, she bolted it securely. All the evening the professor paced up and down Mrs. Appledore’s back veranda. The next evening he again appeared, and the next, and. the widow, tnaroaghlv alarmed, sent 1 the bravest twin out the front way with a note to her brother-in-law.

Mr. Phlox delighted in anything that oould be called proceedings, and in a few minutes he had the Deputy Sheriff and two constables, and went marching down the principal street with them, to the great delight of all the small boys of the village. It was impossible for the professor to escape. The officers crept around the house noiselessly. The Sheriff collared him, the constables pinioned his arms, Mr. Phlox grabbed him by the coat-tails, and away he was walked to the village lock-up. Mrs. Appledore passed a sleepless night: she imagined the whole, town was wide awake and discussing her, and long before daybreak she had resolved to sell her home and Dixville bank stock and move West “ I've got my comeupance,” she groaned. “I’ve always been romantic, and wanted a romance such as I’ve read about, ah’ I’ve had one. Oh, dear 1 oh, dear 1 ” About 8 o’clock in the morning there came a lively rap at the kitchen door, and, unstrung by excitement and loss of sleep, she shrieked alond. “ On’y me; on’y Deacon Bliss,” cried a pleasant voice through the keyhole. Mrs Appledore slid back the bolt with trembling fingers. “ How thankful I am,” she said, holding out her hand'; ‘*l feel so in need of somebody.” “ ’Twas fortinet I come.along jes’ as I did, then,” said the deacon, taking off his straw hat and wiping his face with his ample bandana. It was a shrewd, though benevolent face, framed in waves of iron-gray hair. “I see you look kinder peeked. The weather has been tryin’. I’ve felt it myself, and ached in my joints the wust way.” “It’s my soul, Deacon,” wailed the widow, dropping into a chair and covering her face with her apron. “I’ve always hankered after a romance, an’ I’ve had one, and I wish I was dead and laid beside Caleb.” “ Oh, no ye don’t, Miss Appledore,” said the deacon, in the caressing tone in which he would address a sobbing child. “ This world is a pooty good place, an’, with a few exceptions, folks are pooty good. I come over to fetch a few of my sweetins’, and to tell you thet that there offer I made ye a spell ago holds good yet. I rally wish ye’d consider it agin. ” Mrs. Appledore remained silent behind her apron.

“Es ye’d hev me,” repeated the deacon, in a low voice. “I know I ain’t half good ’nuff and thet I’m kind uv an old fellow, but I’ve got a comf’able El ace an’ comf’able things in it, and I’ve een sot on ye this long spell, as ye knows. I dare say I was ’tached to Lucy more’n I shall ever be to anybody agin. We sort uv growed together like, but so did you and Caleb, an’ I’m sure I’ll try ter make ye happy, and yer two little gals, as sweet as two pinks, ’ll be to me jes’ like the little gals I lost.” Mrs. Appledore did not remove her apron, and after a pause the deacon falteringly continued : “Is’pose ’tain’t no use to argy. Folks hez their own ideea of such things; but anyways I’ll stand yer friend.” The widow rubbed her eyes snd slowly let fall her apron. “ I’vs always had the greatest esteem for you,” she said, with a little shake in her voice, “but I never knew how good—how much I think of you. I will—l ” The deacon started up, “ Will ye ?” Mrs. Appledore had taken refuge in her apron. „ “Will ye really, Rosetta?” he repeated.

The bowed head covered in the blue gingham nodded. “Ye shan’t regret it,” said the deacon, solemnly and awkwardly laying his big hand, coarsened by labor, on her shoulder. “ Lord bless the little woman—an’ our home. Our home,” he spoke softly as if to himself. “ P’raps now,” he continued after a minute, “I’d better drop in an’see Asm, an’ in tailin’ the news I might mention casual like, we're goin’ ter be married soon. An’ thet nobody’ll trouble anybody that stays t’hum, "an’ that I’m able to help an eddicated man to a good place, real neighborly, ’cause my brother Eben out in Kansas wants a clerk.” Mrs. Appledore said nothing, but the deacon seemed satisfied with her silence, for he did just as he had prophesied. Prof. St. Clair Smith was discharged from jail, and in three days he and his pale little wife had left Tony Allerton’s cottage on the mile strip to return no more. In about a fortnight Dr. Ollapod attended a quiet wedding. “You’ve had a ro-mance at last, Rosetta.- I might better say two of ’em,” whispered Mrs. Phlox, as she gave the bride a sisterly kiss. “ The adoration of the professor was like things in a novel book, but marryin’ a man whose goodness an’ farm can’t be paralleled in the county is a romance that has sense in it, an’ I wish you joy.” —Elizabeth Cumings, in Our Continent.

The People of San Domingo.

Men and women wear European costume of light texture—the women tidier than negresses usually ore; and, as the doors and windows of their houses stood open, I had an oportunity of seeing that the interiors were, for the most part, neat and comfortable looking. As I overheard several of the blackest-look-ing talking English, I got into conversation with them, and found that a constant intercourse was kept up with the Bahamas, especially. Turk Island, and the black population of British subjects numbered about four hundred, although in order to become a naturalized citizen of San Domingo ho other form is necessary than that of registration. Foreign negroes are subject to many disabilities. My informant told me that they adhered invariably to their British nationality for the benefit of the protection which* it afforded them in case of revolutions, as without it they would be immediately pressed into military service. They came here, they said, because it was so much easier to make a living than in the British Colony; but they all intended, as soon as they had made money enough, to go home. They form the entire Protestant community of the place, and are Wesleyan Methodist and Baptists. The former are ministered to by a colored parson, and the latter by an English missionary, who is the only pure Englishman in Porto Plata. The foreign merchants are for the most part German or Spanish. The language of the natives is Spanish. The result of eigthy years of black government is not encouraging.— Blackwood?a Magazine. A widow in Japan who is willing to think of matrimony wears her hair tied and twisted around a long shell hair-pin. E laced horizontally across the back of er head. But when a widow firmly resolves never to change her name again she cuts off her hair short on her neck, and combs it baok without any part. ’ Don’t be afraid of appearances so long as your life is all right.

THE PERUVIAN AFFAIR.

Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, appeared before the Peruvian investigation and read a long defense of his action. He admitted having accepted a retainer of stock for his servicos as counsel, but returned it to Shipherd because of the probability that the subject would come up for Congressional action. Senator Blair testifiod that the late Geu. Hnrlbut had written him that he could not make Shipherd understand that ho (Hurlbut) could not act in the matter, except under instructions from the State Department Senator Blair was again before the Foreign Affairs Committee on the 4th inst., but his examination added little, if anything, to the sum of human knowledge concerning the affair under investigation. The most important statement that he made was that he never heard of the letter of Shipherd to Hurlbut offering $250,000 until Dec. 5, when he was at the house of Mr. Blaine, and the latter called his attention to the letter he had received, giving the first information about it. The general drift of the cross-examination went to show that, the Senator was the dupe of the wily Shipherd.

The Arizona Indian War.

Maj. Tupper, of the Sixth Cavalry, had a fight with Apaches at Cloverdale, on the boundary line between Arizona and New Mexico. He reports one man lost and two wounded, while the savages left fifteen dead on the field, including a son of Loco, and seventy-five horses were captured. Tupper then joined Col. Forsyth’s command.—The report of CoL George A. Forsyth, detailing his operations against the savages, is an interesting recital of a campaign gallantly pushed in the face of formidable obstacles and disadvantages. One of the most serious of the adverse conditions which the troops have to contend against is the scarcity of water. Springs and water-courses are things unknown for long distances in that arid and desolate region. Col. Forsyth’s horses covered seventy-eight miles, and were forty hours without water, and, after dispersing the Indians and forcing them to quit the trail and take to the. mountains, the command was under the necessity of retracing its steps over many weary miles and return to the railroad station, to which water had been brought in tanks on the cars.— Gen. Sheridan has ordered the Third Cavalry to Arizona. The first detachment will have to march 150 miles to the railroad, the second 220 miles.

A courier arrived at Santa Fe, and reported that a column of Mexican troops, under command of Col. Garcia, met the Indians whom Col. Forsyth is in pursuit of and killed seventyeight of them, also taking thirty-three prisoners. All the available troops in the Department of the Platte are to be sent to New Mexico and Arizona to aid in suppressing the hostile Apaches. The Pima Indian polioe, in Arizona, were sent to arrest drunken and disorderly Indians and return them to the reservation. Having arrested eight of them the village rallied to their rescue, which resulted in a running fight of nine miles. Two Indians were killed and one badly wounded. A hone also was killed. Capt. Harris, of the First Cavalry, and command, who reached Tombstone May 3, report that all the hostiles had escaped to Mexico. There were no hostiles in the Dragoon mountains or anywhere else within fifty miles of Tombstone. A careful summary shows a total of 141 whites and Mexicans killed by Indians during the recent raid. Five hundred head of stock were killed and captured, and over 475,000 worth of property destroyed. Capt Tupper and his troops had a second encounter with the Indians about forty-five miles south of Cloverdale, killing forty Indians and recapturing about 200 head of stock. Tupper lost one killed and one wounded. The reported, killing of Indians by Mexican troops is fully confirmed. The engagement was a most sanguinary one. The number of redskins slain was seventy-eight and of soldiers twenty. Thirty-three Indians were captured. Loco, with twentyfive warriors, escaped. The work of a few Mexican troops in thus killing and capturing the Indian baud that our own army could not catch causes much ill-concealed mortification in army circles. The Secretary of War informs Congress that there are in Arizona 2,273 enlisted men and 140 officers, in addition to the forces under Gen. Forsyth. It is believed at Washington that the war is ended.

The (grandest of Stage Spectacles.

•Let me tell you first of the “Thousand and One Nights” which Adophe d’Ennery and Paul Ferrier have put on the stage for us. The theatre was closed for thirty nights for full-dress rehearsals; several times during the performance there are 400 persons on the stage; there are 2,800 costumes, thirty-one tableaux, and SIOO,OOO has been spent on scenery and costumes. You may imagine something of the dazzling splendor of the fairy piece. Let me tell you the wonders of three tableaux. Two of them, Cleopatra’s Court and the Infernal Hunt, are said to be the most brilliant tableaux ever put on the stage. One of these tableaux is laid in “the unfathomed caves of the ocean,” where corals, seaweeds, madrepores, shrimps, fishes and lobsters, represented by young, pretty girls in pretty dresses that never begin and are always ending, who dance and dive and float. So the eyes are fairly dazzled by the number of groups and the variety of costumes. Cleopatra •nters on an immense houdah borne by two magnificent elephants, painted to look more splendid, and with magnificent gold bracelets on eaoh leg. The houdah is as brilliant as satin, sSk, velvet, cloth of gold, cloth of silver, tassels and fringes can make it. Cleopatra lies on a divan, surrounded by her slaves and by fifty fan bearers; no two persons among Blaves and fan bearers have the same costume, and each costume is as rich as possible. Cleopatra is welcomed by a brilliant ballet, and not one of the danseuses has the same costume. The Infernal Hunt brings on the stage a pack of 150 honnds, 12 whippers-in, 24 huntsmen, 10 members of the hunt, and 5 ladies; they hunt 60 tigers, that are immense Danish dogs covered with tiger’s skin; these dogs are so mortified at being obliged to play this most ridiculous part that they go about the theatre before and after the piece is played with heads hung down and tails between their legs. The scene is, however, exciting; horns blow, whips are cracked, dogs mouth it, and horses gallop at swiftest pace. • Ihe army of the United States is not attractive for enlisted men. About eleven per cent, desert eaoh year.

Tony Pastor in Trouble.

Tpny Pastor, of Now York, who is now with his inimitable variety combination making a tour of the principal cities of the Union, is recognized as the leading character vocalist and variety performer of the United States. He owns and runs a first-class theater on Broadway, New York city, and has gathered about him the best troupe of variety artists that could be obtained. The company has just completed a brilliant engagement at the Walnut Street Theater, Philadelphia, and after the present tour they will reappear in Tony Pastor’s own theater in New York city. Mr. Pastor is the originator of his peculiar school of character smging, and has made himself immensely popular, having realized by his talents a large fortune. The writer of this article met Mr. Pastor recently at the Bingham House in PhiladelEfaia, and found him as genial in private as e is amusing before the public. During our conversation I inquired as to his physical health, and he replied that, notwithstanding the strain upon him in the discharge of his professional duties, it was excellent. He had occasionally severe pains, either the result of rheumatic attacks or colds, but any complaints of that character never troubled him long, as he had found out a remedy for all such annoying affections. I asked him what the remedy was, and he replied, “ Bt. Jacobs Oil." I then learned from Mr. Pastor that he considered the'Great German Remedy an excellent preparation for the cure or relief of rheumatism, and that it was about the only thingußed among professional people for that distressing complaint. He took bottles of it with him whenever he went traveling, and would not be without it, and he knew that it was very popular with a number of members of his own company. A conversation held subsequently with various members of the organization revealed the fact that St. Jacobs On had been performing most invaluable service for them in the way of curing them of rheumatism. Nearly every artist in the troupe used it, and was enthusiastic in its praise, and the writer was really forced to the conclusion that Tony Pastor was certainly in luck in having so valuable an article known and employed by his inimitably-good cbmpany of performers, for it enabled every one to be always in his place, thfis insuring comfort to the management and genuine satisfaction to the public. Tony Pastor would certainly be in trouble without St. Jacobs Oil. At least, other managers, whose artists have been temporarily unsupplied, have noticed the difference between St. Jacobs Oil in stock and St. Jacobs Oil out of stock —among the members of their companies.—N. Y. Clipper.

The Young Writer’s First Production.

Probably every one who has attempted authorship will confirm Longfellow’s experience on the appearance of his first effusion in print. Nothing, he tells us, which he. sinoe published gave him such exquisite pleasure as he experienced on opening the paper to which he had timidly sent his manuscript, and to find it there in actual type, to be read by the multitude. This feeling comes but once, but the memory of it lasts a lifetime. It can never be forgotten. What anticipations it arouses—what a sense of importance it gives ! How little does the young author suspect the cold indifference with which it is read, possibly not read, by those who take the paper! As the song says, “It’s all the world to him,” and why not all to the world ? It would be and is cruel to spoil the delightful sensations of initial authorship. They may be false, they certainly are fleeting, but the enjoyment, while it lasts, is an intoxication of delight, as first pleasant sensations are apt to be. The hint oomes soon enough to the writer to discover how really unimportant the event was. If he persists in writing he will come to be as indifferent to his appearance in type as the world is. If a newspaper writer, he will weary of the eternal grind, and forget what he has written the day before in studying what to write for the day after. But no success, either as a newspaper writer or book-maker, either as poet or essayist, however flattering, will ever give to the author the sensation of his first appearance in print. It is, after it passes, a lost sensation, no more to be repeated than love’s young dream, with freshness and fervor. It is an illusion too exquisite to be duplicated in one’s experience. It is our advice, then, to young writers, after they have succeded in getting into print once, to stop then and there, and cherish the sensation as long as possible .—that is to say, as long as they can help it—and not repeat it to satiety, or until the spirit is jaded,' and the writer ready to cry out, with the Preacher, “ all is vanity and vexation of spirit.”.—Cincinnati Commercal.

The report of the French Minister of Public Works shows that in 1880 182,983 men were employed on the French railroads, of whom 7,815 were engaged in office work, 57,530 in station work, 9,180 as conductors and brakemen, 46,838 as enginemen, firemen and in the shops, and 61,620 in maintenance of road. The average number of employes per mile of railroad is about 12.2. The number on the Massachusetts roads is 7.4 per mile. Gov. Littlefield, of Rhode Island, is a man of the people, having in liis early days worked in a cotton factory at Natick, one of the villages which have grown up around the Sprague mills. While Littlefield was toiling at the spin die William Spragne was Governor. By a turn of fortune’s wheel Sprague became a bankrupt and Littlefield a Governor. “All through advertising,” remarked exMayor Gregorj- to us, as he went homeward with a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, “ that I bought this. Your paper contains so many wonderful cures—of course they are facts—and so I thought I’d try a bottle for the rheumatism. ” — Madison ( Wis.) Daily Democrat. The total land area of the United States, now including Alaska, is 2,970,000 square miles. And when a man loses his collar button just nine minutes before train time, or has to hunt up hie hat before he goes to church, he thinks the country is just about twice as large os it really is, and that he has been all over it three times.— Burdette.

malarial Fever.

Malarial Fevers, Rheumatism, eta, result most frequently from inactivity of the liver and kidneys. You make a great 'mistake and do yourself great injustice unless you bestow upon these important organs of life most careful attention. It is wrong to persistently turn the liver upside down by the use of severe cathartic medicines, or to lash the kidneys into complete exhaustion by overdoses of violent diuretics. Strength can be given to liver and kidneys, new life and vigor infused into every part of the body, old age bo made to feel youthful, and disease banished from the body by using the Queen of all health renewers, Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. This wonderful compound is outselling all other remedies. It contains Yellow Dock, Sarsaparilla, Juniper, Iron, Buchu, Celery and Calisaya. Ask your physician concerning such a compound, then try a bottle. It will make your mind and body healthy and strong. It is more refreshing than wine and you will like it just as welL The latest anti-burglar machine thrown on the market fires off a small cannon, lights the gas, catches and binds the thief, wakes up the family, and then goes tQ the next corner and rouses the slumbering policeman. It is also used as a witness in court. Walter McKee is a fashionable young man, who is very much in debt and who is also in poor health. He went to consult with a doctor on the subject. The doctor felt his pulse, looked at his tongue, and said : “ You need exercise. If you were to walk down Austin avenue from the Capitol to the bridge over the Colorado, lust before dinner every day, you would feel better.” “If I tried that, I would get too much exercise, and I wouldn’t feel any better for it either. All my creditors do business on that street, and some of them are laying for me with dubs, right now.”— Texas Siftings. T. J. Thompson, of Maysville, Ky., writes : “ About a year ago I* had a severe attack of chills and fever. I have been quite an invalid since, suffering from sinking spells, nervous chills, night sweats, eta My digestive and urinary organs were in a very weakened condition. I felt very weak, nervous and debilitated, and dyspepsia, painful urination and rheumatism exhausted me of all vitality. My doctor seemed discouraged and consented to my trying Dr. Guysotl’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, a medicine my mother bad once used with benefit. It has acted like a miracle in my case, and I now feel perfectly well."

TERRIBLE SUFFERINGS.

D*. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.: I have a friend who suffered terribly. I purchased a bottle of your “Favorite Prescription,” and as a result of iU use she is perfectly well. J. Bailey, Burdett, N. Y. Dr. Pierce’* “ Golden Medical Discovery ” and “Pleasant Purgative Pellets” purify the Mood and cure constipation. Km gloves are now made of rat-skins. If you have a pair of kid glove* that you wish to test, set them on a table with a piece of cheese. If they don’t attack the cheese they are either real kid or the rat they were made from isn’t alive.Db. B. V. Pizbcz, Buffalo, N. Y.: Dear Sir : For many months I was a great sufferer. Physicians could afford me no relief. In my despair I commenced the use of your “ Favorite Prescription.” It speedily effected my entire and permanent cure. Youfs thankfully, Mbs. Pact. R. Baxtbb, lowa City, la. A two-toot rule was given to a laborer in a Clyde boat-yard to measure an iron plate. The laborer, not being well up in the use of the rale, after spending a considerable time, returned. “Noo, Mick,” asked the plater, “ what size is the plate ?” “ Well,” replied Mick, with a grin of satisfaction, “it’s the length of your rule and two thumbs over, with tins piece of brick and the breadth of my hand, and my hand from here to there, bar a finger.” It you are bilious, take Dr. Pierce’s “ Pleasant Purgative Pellets”—the original “Little liver PiUs.” Of all druggists. A last who, although in the autumn of life, had not lost all dreams of its spring, said to Jen-old, “ I cannot imagine what makes my hair turn gray. I sometimes fancy it mast he the essence of rosemary, with which my maid is in the habit of brushing it What think you ? ” “Ishould be afraid, madame,” said the distinguished dramatist, dryly, “that it is the essence of thyme.’.’

A Few Plain Facts From

The American Christian Review, Cincinnati Ohio: In our house Allen’s Lung Balsam has been a standard curative for colds during the past ten years, and with uniform success. The thousands rescued from untimely graves all over the country; the almost universal recommendations of physicians in their practice everywhere, the enormous distribution all over the United States, Canada and part of Europe, aro unmistakable evidences of its intrinsic value, and especially adapted for restoring consumptive invalids to their normal relations of health and the inspiring hope of reaching • good old age. The safety of every family would lie consulted by keeping a bottle of iL len’s Lunq Balsam in the house and having 11 ready for application when coughs, colds or croup mako their unwelcome intrusion into tin household. Sold by all Medicine Dealers. Thebe is a story told of a very consequential head-waiter who, observing a man tie his napkin around his neck preparatory to commencing his meal, went up to him aud said : “ You have mattes, mistake, sir ; this isn’t a barbershop.” It was a very good rebuke, but it cost the head-waiter his situation. — Hotel Mail. Said Brown : “ The day I was married I quit chewing tobacco, and I tell you it was pretty hard on me that day, but the next day I was all right again.” “Ah! how's that?” “ Well, the next day I commenced chewing again.”

A Father’s Testimony.

Creston, lowa, May 21, 1881. H. H. Warner & Co.— Sirs: My little son has been cured of weak kidneys by the use of your Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. M. C. Beymer. A new work on etiquette says: “ Soup must be eaten with a spoon.” Persons who are in the habit of eating soup with a fork or a knife will bo slow to adopt such a new-fangled idea. When you go to bed take a dose of KidneyWort. It keeps the bowels in order. “To what base uses may we come at last,” said the ball-player, as he plowed tho homeplate with his nose. Can Catarrh be cured? Yes, certainly, “Dr. Sykes’ Sure Cure” will cure it The Duke of Wellington’s saying oonnected with early rising was not a bad one : “Let the first torn in the morning be a turn ont.”

What a Three-Ccnt Stamp Will Do. It will do more than any other piece of paper of Its size and value in the world. It aecomSlishes what would, a few years ago, have been eemed impossible.

It brings information from every section of the country and tidings of pleasure as well. But tho crowning consideration is the fact that a three-eent stamp sent to A. Vogei.kr A < Baltimore, Md., with the applicant's name and address, will procure a copy of St. Jacobs Calendar,replete with interesting readinginatter.niid, better than all, containing specific Instructions for the treatment and cure of rheumatism, neuralgia ami nil pninful djjesws by the lwe of ST." JacossOilT - Concerning the efficacy of this wonderful substance, the following must impress the reader:—Hon. Thomas L. James, PostmasterGeneral of the United States, when Postmasterof the City of New York, concurred in the following testimonial from Win. H. Wareing, Esq., Asst. General Superintendent Third Division Mailing and Distributing Department, New York Postoffice: “ I take pleasure in advising that the samples of St. J>cobs Oil left for distribution among the clerks of this office, have, ns far as they have been tried, proved equal to all that is claimed for the Oil. The reports from the several superintendents and clerks who have used the Oil agree in praising it highly. It has been found efficacious in cuts, burns, soreness and stiffness of the joints and muscles, and affords a ready relief for rheumatic complaints.” Col. Samuel H. Taylor, Washington, Ind., and ex-Postmaster of Cumberland, Md., was cured of rheumatism by St. Jacobs Oil.
