Kit'y bad been to the chari'y ball, and the charity ball was very fashionable there was no doubt about that Kii hud eaten a late eupper, returned home, gone to b^d and to bleep there was no more u^t abuut that. Sbe reco'Lcted distinctly throwing one bhoe tinder the bed and the other into a corner,

"Good-nigbt" to her own

figure in the 1 joking glass, twisting the figure of a butterfly till her fingers ached before she discovered tbat it was not in tbe gas-tftoppsr, aid tben laughing sleepily at all her mistakes. Sbe even remembered the first dream of her sleep, which was something about charily diamonds, chicken salad lanciers, and ice cream waltaes.

No, there .was no doubt that she had gone through all this yet there she was, •taring in at the window of the great ball room, and the ball was just com. mencing. Could she have gone to sleep •n the windowsill in some mysterious manner? No, she was outside, and standing in the air with somebody holding her hand. "O, dear I" thought itty, mournfully, "Imiist have drank some wine somehow. How strange it ist I wonder how I came here? But what acold hand hjlda mine it's not papa's for it makes me shiver, lie must be horrid. I won't look at him. So!" •,: There did not seem to bs much need of the rewire, however, toi tbe parson who held her band did not move nor eeem to care whether she saw him or not, bat quietly looked in with her. So, at last, like most girls, Kitty's curiosity got the better of her, and she glanced out of the eorners of her eyes.

Beside her she saw an old man. His beard and hair were long and white, and drooped about his neck and shoulders like falling snow. Upon his bead was lightly placed a crown, as of frost work, so delicate was its textur». bes 1 ng and dark, and cold to look at, f« 11 in broad lul is from his shoulders and were held to bio waist by a girdle of twinkling stais. Fie was zing in at the brihiaut assemhltge with a sad, melancholy 1 jok Ui on his face

Kitty ljoked at his robes. "How very old-fa-hione she thought "and aged, very aged I" "Yes," murmured the old man, "ol 1, verv old-''

Kiuy started. He ad her thoughts evidently Sbe WAB sorry now she had thought it, he looked so sad. "Who are you?" a-ked Kitty, timidly, "and why Lave you brought me here?" "lam the Cod Night," naid'ihe old man. slowly turning tin eyes toward her eyes wer.-i ahaip and piercing, yet fu 1 kindness. "Acid I hive br Uiht you here that you might s»e how great your chariiy is, for I heard this was a Charity ball." "YeV' said Kittv, nervously. "I am a friend th" p.ior,' continued the Cold Nght, "and I 1 ive to see charity He looked

back

into the

ball­

room as he sp ke. "You see all yuur f.ierds here? "Yes," slid Kitty, brightening np and g'ling inside with something of a proud look.

There's Florrv Hall right before the window now. She h«s those beautiful solitaire diamonds in her ears. O, dear, how bright they look. I wish I fisd them." "But you had the handsomest dress," said the Cold Night, sadly. "O. yes," exclaimed Kitty quickly "It was of tbe richest silk, and cost several hundred dolltrs. Papa was so kind "And it was bought for charity?" asked the Cold Night. '"•Why no,'* answered Kitty in surprise, "lor me, of course." "out the ball is for charitv?"

Kitty began to be bewildered by so much catechising, and she was much relieved when he led her away.

They descended to the grand entrance, where he pointed out two 1 tile beggars, a boy and a girl, who fiddled and sang and asked a penny from the rich people descending from the carriages. "You passed them by to-night?" "Yes," said Kitty "but they were hocrid beggars." Tbe Cold Night was silent, and Kitty thought she might have •aid something wrong, so she added: "And com aou street fiddlers." But the Cold Night said nothing.

Tbey both watched the little du\ "Toeey and Tibby," the Cold Nigbt said, and drew nearer to hear what they would •ay. People, rich with money and great in charity, carefully patsed them by, for they were ragged ggars and fiddled and sang. It was cold, ver* cold and Tosey played very, very slowly, while the breath of Tibbj's quivering plaint disappeared despairingly in the frosty air. The wheels of the carriages seemed to creak in sympathy, as they crushed down the snow. Yes it was cold indeed, yet they fiddled and sang untiringly while the rich people alighted and passed up the grand entraice, after glancing contemptuously 11 the poor UtUe does who fiddled and sang as the brilliant dresses disappeared in the distant doorway, but finally stopped as the last carriage drove away.

I suppose we Looks too awful," said Toeey, wetting his lip*, and feeling vac-otly in the small pocket, which, God knows, bad not seen to much as a dime for many a d-y. ''Yes," s»id Tibbv, "but 1 does feel so hungry, and I sang so 1 ud, and I tried so bard, fcnl Tibby i-lightly sobbed, and silently used a small piece of her shawl to wipe away a larue tear. "Djn't c-y," said Tos«y tremulously "Jet's move on, at.d perhaps we'd find a little Sonsethin'. », if we oilv had a few ponies I" losey took Tibbv'a hand, and they started to m«ve awav.

"Bat how did it come them?" asfce Tosei. "Could it have growed?'' suggested Tib y. "No," said Tosey. "Or fell from the skies?" "Gui-ts cot," sai'l Tosey, dubiously. "Or been flunged?' "O, nol" Tocey answered emphati caliy.

They both looked hungrily at the piece of money, and began to mnsu't it~ fct-ther what lot- of tilings they could buy, and their fares grew bright iuiieed a they thought of ir.

From tbe sh»de of the opposite side of the entrance, a thin bundle of rajjs 8!owl crept -nd unsinadily shi:9 1 t• iheai. Out of the dirt and r*uS peered thiu fuce and glistening eyes, aud the h:irid.of tbe sm 11 buutlle wearily rubhed themselves to« eiher, to try and stir up inn hi lod which w-s no! ih»*re. '"This is a ch-tjit«l 1' b* 1," said the tbiij bundle. Thote Iks dance for the paor." Th« glistening eyes looked enger Iv at Tost-y ,nn 1 Tinny, aod frequenily tltnced at the mone- their hands

We is poor, an they dances tor as, and for uay tno'her, who i? tickahrd they dances to give ua the bread which seldom h«H."

Tosey looked in surprise at the t!iin bundle, rubbing and ruobingiis hands. "And does they dresi in line clothes for Uf, and ride in carriage-, and ijive Ijts of money, and all for us?"

The thin bundle rubbed ister and fas!»*r. "Yes, if there's any more than as pays for for the dancin' and dressin', and the dancin' costs $10 api-.ce, and the drtssin' —O. I dtinno 1 It's ail for Us—if there'6 ^ny'hft" '•But thev didn't ive us any when I sam," said Tibby. "Lor, no 1" said the thia bundle '*.hey think beggars don't need nothin' They has folks as huuts Up poor fo,ks when they has timj. aud sews Saunels when thev hasn't. Yen, they s*y thev does all thi^ for us, but"—the bundle shook its head as if it were doubtful, and continued: "I stood over yonder tldobin' somebody would give me ootnethiu', but they looked id at me, and 1 went back inter tbe shadder snd wa'ched 'em lr. was a big sight, hut I'm jiiat as hungry." The hands stopped rubbing, and the eyes looked wet as the bundle added: "My mother is very, very --ick. O, we's poor —so poor!"

Tosey looked at his lit le sister as the rags began to.shuffls away. "Tibby," said he, "we doss not feel so awful hungry

Tibby hesitated. She looked at tbe silver, and then at the slowly retreating figure, and I hen she looked up iuto Tosey's loving f.ice

No, Tosey I dunno as I does." Tosey turned armnd, and, running after the departing fi ure, handed her the piece of monev. "There!" said he, "take it you need it more tian we does

The handle looked in surp'ise as she tiok the piece, and tears fell wi th" cheeks of the thin, pale fie. But uhonly said: "I'm very grateful," auu whlked off.

The two little musicians watched the figure as it disappiir«d in the darkness •vhile th! happy shuffle of the feet jftew fainter and fainter. Ah, here was char itv, gol-iyte charity, in the !eart of ii»beings that the rich spised and tbrus' from their c*on

As the Cold Night turned toward Kitt.\ he fnund her silently wiping her eves "D.i you see what true cbatity h» atikfd, in a sweet, HVinpaiheinu voice. '"Yes, yes," murmured Kitty ''I tee, I see."

Whilj they were tslking, they ban slowly risen lip, up to tbe brilliant window gin.

It was a beautifu hit lit, indeed but somehow the people looked heartless to Kitty, and the j-we^ glittered spitefully, while the rick silkceeuaed to hi."S and hiss as the. rustled along, as if all were rebelling against their false use. "But one more art," said the Cold Night, gently leading her down, down t.» the opposite 6ile of the streit.

From a dark corner, with their arms twined about each other's neck, the little b*»£gars watched the windows ol tbe brilliantly lighted hall—away up in the sky it seemed—watched the gay fia ores that frequently appeared in rich, dainty dres es, and mil^d to think it wa.all for the poor and needy. "They dance for us and for others," murmured Tibby "for those as is in want. Maybe the beautiful ladies will find us here to-morrow and give us some brearf." "Yes," said Tosey "and the poor li»t'e girl as has the sick mother. P'raps they il find them, and help them too."

The Cold Night waved bis hand above them, aud the? both shivered, and said how ctll it was. Tosey tried ti play note on tne violin, but the strings creaked so dismally that he laid it aside Then tbey saug together tbe sweet lirtie song of charity Tioby had sung to the rich people and as they sang the Cold Nisjht spread his mantle slowly around them notil tbey were fast asleep. "O, sir!" crid Ki.ty, "spare them and let them live!'' "No," said the Cold Night "they are too poor to live. Thiy must die." "Kitty fell upon er knees before him "0, sir!" she pleaded, beseechingly "I am rich, and will take care of them and relieve them from suffering

But the Cold Night ised bis hand and pointed upward, saying, "Too late, too late!

As he*poke he took the beggars in his arms and slowly ro*e up toward the stars, leaving Kitty sobbing upon the ground. And, as *ht knelt there, she heard, high in the skies, tbe song that the begs rs ssrg, the soug of sweet charity, swelling a mighty chorus, as one would think to celebrate a mighty d-ed—migh io tbe s'g11of heaven.

as she

went blitlely ahont her work while without the white smoke of Riorning fi'ea—signB of stirring life—curled up «ard from the chimney tops into the 1 air, as if glad to meet tbe light of day "It was onl? a dream, yet, O, ho* vivid!"' thought Kiny, as «he titled her eyes again and again, surprised to see tha

SEEING THE SUNRISE.

Eutbnatnet.tc T^nd ••rfe«t. Wnieti for th Coming of ih- O'b if D.-ty. One of the poi.-.ti to which the atten' tion of Colorado tourists is al*ays directed is Mount Gny, one of the fi'iest peaks of the ickies, and affording a st'lendid view of tbe surrounding coun try. It mstdered "thfc thing" to wit oess sunrise from the summit, and in truth the si^ht from tha altitude (14,' 00 feet abovo the sea level) i? an impressive one. About three 1'8 from the top is K-lso cabin, where you can stop over night, at least till 8 in the morning, when yon egain set out to finish the trip iring t^e last snmui~r wo youni* me'i fr.'in New Yorfe wt-re making a tour of the state, an 1 wbi eat t-lenri etowu they heard of Mount- Gray and its wonderful view, aL-d so started out to take it in. They left Graymount on a couple of jicks" and arrived at the cabiu about noon. The stopped there all afternoon and left word with the guide that he was to awaken them at tbe proper time and take them to the su .imit. to witness the sun rise out of his eastern-couch. That night tbe guide heard them talking f.loud in their room till 12 o'clock about the expected treat of the rooming. One of them vowed that he would write a sonnet on the grand RCene, "Sunrise on Mount Gray," and 6-11 it to the magazines. The other bewailed the fact that he was not a pain'er that he might catch the glory of the scene and perpetuate it on canvass for other eyes. They had traveled neatly all over the world, but they did not doubt they were to see the grandest sight that human eyes ever behel 1. Promptly at 3 o'clock a. m. the guide roused thera and tbey began the rest ol ihe toilsome ascent on foot. They fol lowed tbe zigzagging road, tack by tack, at.d at length, weary, hungry, ?.t.d footsore, they gained the su^uiit. They had made ihe trip clinging to the guide's coat tai's and hugging the mountain as they wound their way up t:s precipitous sides, for it was almost pitch dark ard the path was dangerously narrow at places There is a rude hut on the extreme point of the mountain, and against this tbey leaned, shivering and panting for tbe cold was intense and the air rarified to a oainfni degree. Tbe sensations were new and not altogether pleasant. The apex of tbe mountain was swathed in a d-nse, damp cloud, which prevented their seeing btfyond their h^nds and the awful stillness about them was terrifying. The guide made (hem sit down facing east, with their backs to tbe hut, to watch for the coming orb of day, while he. to whom the sight was a common thing, wentabut the hut-to the other side and lay down to finish his broken s'eep When he awoke the aun was in mid-'iky and blazing awiy' for all it was worth.

Hearing no noise, he arose and went around the hut. There s*t the ifi en thii'iastic ten Ur-feet precisely where he had placed ttem—las? asleep.

What Gail Hamltou His to Soy Ab«nt Tlieiu—Th- Soie io yof the Cl.ine»e. In the North American Review for Decern: er, Gail Hamilton draws a very sugg^s ive and amusing contrast between ths theological opiuiou of the distinguished minionary Dr. Hamlin, con-c-r -itiij the "neaihen," and the practical opinion mother distin. u'Sh^d mis* siouary, Mrs. S LB MWID, on the same subj-C,. ST- says: "Dr. Hiuilin r-undiy xffirms that Le cannot find tbe firs' instauce of any rne of ihe heathen or Mohammedan systems w»rkicg in the line of redemption or deveh pio^ tny wer towards a purer and better state of society, toward the elevation of the peo pie. Heamen, Moslems, Greek and Armenian aposta'es are all emb-irked ia tne same boat, rowing tiward tie Siiue DiadS-a. And Dr. Hamlin speaks wiih the authority or one who has lived amont, them." This has a daik look for the hearhen. But "Mrs. S. Baldwin, a missionary of tbe Mfthodi-t board iu China, now living iu Eist Boston, addressed to the present congress a petition which was presented to he senate, prayieg that she might be allowed to imp«rt ns. ana a heathen to this country, because of his b"*"1 great superiority to tbe Christims here C'Stly

because the private virtues of the heathen showed far stronger signs of thrift tha our own. Tha. I m»' not, however, undesignedly, misrepresent her testiwo y, I give her own words: 'During a long residence in China, as the wife of a missionary. I have been accustomed to Chinese servants I know the peace and comfort possible with them. One cook served us during the entire twenty years we lived in China. I have made many efforts to secure good and needed service from the help found in this land. I have given four yearn patieDt tri..lto those of every nationality, not excepting my own. I have paid the highest usual wages, have planned my work with a view to my servants' comfort, have treated them withcour esyand kindness, keeping in mind the Golden Rule, have paid them promptly, and, in return, have only asked that tbey do properly the work they have agreed to perform. But all in vain! Not one has seemed to feel under the slightest obligation to give any fair return for wages received, or to have the slightest regard to my interests. Untidiness. oadly cooked food, waste, braekage, impertinence and disobedience have exhausted my purse and my patience, and imperiled the comfort and of mysi If ai.d my family. N t"»ithstand ng the fact that in China our servants lov us, and left our employ re uctantly, I might still think that in some way I am unwittingly to blame for this unhappy state of affairs, had I not found, in a veiy extended acquaintance in this country, that my experience is simple that of a large majority of housekeepers r.f this land. Therefore I earnestly petition that you will make an exception to the snti Chinese law in my favor, and allow me to import a Chinese servait is the only solution of the problem of housekeeping in this country now." "Is it possible to meprefenlnr to misunderstand the significtnce of this statement—all the more significant because it is unintended testimony? In this Christian country private virtues sre so submerged beneath ingraiitude, pelfi-ih oesp, dishones'y, extravHgince, imperii nence, disobedience, that we fly for refuge to the peace, comfort, fidelity, love, found only in heathen character, and heathen service."

BALLETS OF PORCELAIN.

The if I Ballet*—Vlowar* pad SiilM tne ll(tmak*rt' KvdeU. London Telt grata.

This ia the age of beautiful ballets. Faacy in music, boldness in color and arrangement, aed luxury in embroidery and ueedlework, all land their aid to enrich those beautiful spectacles which are the outcome of modern fastidiousness. The designer cf ballets, for the variety sta^e is unnecessarily hampered. He may tell no story, and weave no romance in tne action of the dance, or he jeopardiz the magisterial licence under the extraordinary laws that govern our places of public amusement. 8o in order to be on the safe Bide be risorts to the imitation of inanimate objects.

Flowers and china are the ballet-mak-ei's st ck in trade. 1 he garden having been whol ransacked he turns bis attention the mantelpiece. A baliet iu china is, of course, no novelty. Some years ago on this very sttge, when tbe blue aud white" erase was upon us, the aste of China and Japan was very excelhntlv imitated by Mr. Alfred Thompson Bat Orienta'' has given way to Sevres and "Dresden,"' so, this last porcelain being particularly rich in color and Id iu design, several artists have put their beads igetber and ven us "D.-esdina," a spectacle veiy gorgeous and beautiful, which suggests a pha-e of ceramic art by means of eicbr iderv and dress.

A revolution has been made in theatri cal costume, for nowadays, owing to long runs aud various other cinum stances it is considered advisable to have these dresses *8 perfectly executed as if they were subjected to close scrutiny in a ball loom. But this would be of little use unless the effect were good, a re-ult certainly attained in the first public performance of "Dre dina" last night. Tbe story suggested at the outset soon fades into insignificance, and the audi ence, unable to follow the threads of the romance, gives itself up to the contemplation of handsome dresses worn by jemarkably handsome women. M. Jarobi, the indefatigable conductor, has not been idle, for once more he has composed music as interesting and tuneful as it i- bright and eflective. Executed by bis excellent hand, the music had no little to do with the interest caused by the new ballet of porcelain.

WAYS OF NOTED MEN.

WASHINGTON'S ECONOMY.

The Father of Bl Conntry a Careful and Saving ittnn. Donald G. Mitchell's paper OD "Washington's Farm Life," in the December American Agriculturist, contains unpublished letters of Washington. In one he writes: "'I do in earnest terms enjoin upon you to see that the hay is used with the greatest economy at the Mansion House, and particularly to guard against Mrs. L. Washington's Charles and her boy in the stables, both of whom are impudent and self-willed, and care not how extravigint they feed or even waste for I have caught the boy several times littering his horses with hay. Except her blind horse (wbich may be endangered by running at large), I see no sort of neces sity there is for feeding with either grain or hay when thev are not u»ed, or any other horse that is at libertv and able to provide for itself. ... I can plainly perceive that, in a little time, (after saving what little oats I want for seed another year), there will be aothii either for my negroes or horses to eat without buying, which will neither comport witb my interest or inclination. B« Stewart's report, I find he still continues to feed horses corn instead of cut oats, as I directed. What two saddlehorses are those which staud in the Mansion house report? I knew of none but tbe one Mr. Whitling used to tide." What country gentleman of our day, on bis city absences, puts this particularity aud sagacity into his queries? .J

There is a great deal of old material yet in congress, despite the fact that many of tbe statesmanic landmarks have been removed during the past few years.

Payne, of Ohio, is also 76 years old, but fall short of Morrill by seven months.

Its beginning and completion embrace more than three centuries, and the great Angelo give the best years of his life to its buildiug. Itisgrand beyond description and expression. In reverential admiration some have even doubted whether it wss the work of man or not. •'One must stand afar to see Si. Peter's," said Emerson. A fly on the dome of St. Fe'er's, it has been said, with Its limit«d vision, sees only the sp-ce of a few inches abont itself in which it might fiud some slight discolorations of wear and weather, or even some ineq lalities of surface, bile it is blind to tbe great glory of the dome itself. So it seems to me, remembering the glorious history of the Republican party, and recalling its splendid achievements, that its critics of to-day, like the fly on the dome, with narrow vision, see and magnify a few alight imperfections, while they are bigotedly blind to the great glory of its round and perfect record. Ignoring little things, my fellow-citisens, let ns stand out, and, open-eyed, look at the great dome itself—greater even th^n St. Peter's—the work of the Republican party seen in a people freed and a nation saved, aDd its government rebuilt on the everlasting foundations ef justice, equality and freedom 1

Mr. Randall has a house of his own, but it is a very modest one. He lives on Capitol Hill, far from the fashionable Northwest. His little home is one of the most comfortable at the capital, but it is by no means adapted for entertaining on a large scale. Mr. Rmdall has a carriage of his own, too, but-the least said about that the better, for it is a genuine eighteenth century affiir. Mr. Ran-di-ll's fortune is hardly greater than Morrison's. Although he has been in congress over twenty years, he sadly lacks tbe business tact of Senator Sherman and other statesmen, who nave been able to save a million or two ont of a total salary of $10'\000.

Perhaps tba most modest liver among the public men here is Senator Vest, of Missouri, says a Washington letter to the Philadelphia Times. Though he is not so poor as some of hia colleague? he lives in one of the meanest looking little houses iu Washington. It is the very unfashionable Delaware avenue, is a frame building aod two stories high. Here the sen*tor lives with bis two servants. His frieuds say that his style of living should not be atttibuted to parsi mom, but to an eccentric hatred to living in a house with other occup*rtj. He proposes to stay where he is up til he is able to buy a house for himse and family, and nothing can induce him to put up at a hotel or apartment house. In the meantime bis family remaia at their s«ouri home.

The leaders in both branches of congress live in a comparatively inexpensive style. Speaker Carlisle is a poor msn. He has a small suit of rooms at the Biggs and rides in a hired carriage. His family is usual here for only a small part of tbe session and he does little in the way of entertsining.

Mr Morrison has a couple of rooms at Willard's, which are situated on the th'rd story back and have a brick court yard for an outlook. Tne great free trader lives in a most economical way and, it ia taid, saves half of his salaiy yearly. As his whole for uue is estimated at $25,000 it could hardly be expected that bis family should be among the leadets in the gilded society here.

The rest of the southern senators, excepting Mahone, Gibson, Brown and Catndea, are all poor men and live cheaply.

The slight shocks that succeeded the main quake are still felt at intervals, and while they cease to alarm the people as at first, go to prove that there is something wrong with the foundation underlying Charleston. Houses that, by all precedent, should be condemned as nninhabitabie re beiag patched and "chinked" for tbe. time, and are tenanted because the owne.8 can not go elsewhere for shelter.

Whom Sbe Thought Dead

Times- emocrat. Mrs E-ther Niles Rockwall, widow of Harry Rockwell, died at Haddam Neck, Conn., few days ago. A most romantic event ia her life gave her something more than mere local repute. She married in 1817 to Harry Rockwell, who lived further up the Connecticut river, and who was a m«n ef somewhat roving ^•position, with a strong liking for tbe sea. Two years after marriage Rockwell accepted an offer jr wintei employment in Savannan, but when he returned in the iptiDg came only to New York. There he was tempted ta ship on a whaler, and did so without seeing bis wife. He was afterward captured while on an English vessel by a Spanish ship, and spent two or three years in a Spanish prison. Then, without reaming home he enlisted in the United States navy, and for sime years after was on| a merchant ship. Ha sailed around the world several times. Mr*

Ricbwell not havipg heard anything from him for Hve^p eixbt years, believed he was ad, ana in 1S25 she married George Evans, who died in 1811 Rjcuwell in that year was in New York and inteadtd to return hoaie, but hearing that bis wife bad married again, think ing him dead, he at once skipped for a long voyage.

By Mr. Evans the wife had three children, two of whom are now living.^ One of these, Z-linda, when a little girl, io 1835, told ber mother that she had had a queer dream, and that she ssw her other p^p*, as Rockwell was c-lied, coming home in sailor clothes and a colored vest A week later, on Ihe aiternooa of July 4. aad duriug a heavy thunder storm Rockwell knoiked at the door of his wife's house and ssked for shelter.

Law

Mad* President Clevol^od'a Paitner Get tt fur Her. Bafialo Kxpraae.

The firm of lawyers from which Pieaideat Cleveland graduated into his prsaent high office still maintains its organisation and standing in the profession. The gentleman who succeeded the president's place ia the firm is known as the Tall Sycamore. Besides being a good lawyer and astute politician be is alse toe "father of the prettiest of blue-ejed and :lond haired little lassies. This little maid has reached the mature age of four years Sjme-imes she comes to the

historical office in tho Weed block to pay her respects to the members of the Arm and incidents ly to bring a bit of sunshine iuto the ordinary gloom of professional work. On one occasion when the Tall Sycamore's little girl was at the office her father was busy with a nnnsfcer of gentlemen. Tbs little lasa wandered iot) the senior's office and entered into conversation witb that gentleman.

After the manner lawyers he man- •, aged to get into her confidence, and after the manner of her sex she poured into the professional bosom the narrative of her woes and besought the counsel of her learned friend. Briefly stated, her case was this: She wanted a goat. She had made several motions to that eflTect in the paternal court, but on one pretext or anoh tbe hearings had been adjourncd and postponed to the extent which makr her doubtful of ever securing a final decision in the matter.

Having accepted a kiss as a retainer in the case the president's former partner proceeded to advise his fair client. His legal in ellect grasped the situation at once. Hie experienced and quickworking mind immediately seised upon the remedy. "Tne thing lor you to do," said he, "is this: Go right iato your papa's otBce and, no matter who is there, tell him you want a goat. If you only tell him once he may nott hear you, so you hat better tell him several tiaass.

Ye', you had better keep oo telling him until you are surehe understands yoa." The little woman opened her big, blue eyes in admiratiooof herlawyer'a ability and immediately proceeded to act on his advice. She marched soberly into^her father's office intent upon her mission. So absorbed was she in her purpose that she paid no attention to the seven or eight prominent isilroad men who wtre leceivmg and treasuring the precious and expensive words of couasel filing from the lips of the Tall Sycamore. She lifted ner dimpled chia te the level of the paternal aesk and ramarktd in bell like tones, "Papa, I want a goat." The matter under discussion wis an important one and her remark was not noticed. She resumed: "Pa^a, I want a goat. I want a goat, I want a goat, I want a goat. I want a goat, I want a goat, papa. I want a goat, I want a goat, I want a goat. Papa, I want a goat. I want a goat, I want a goat, I want a goat. I want a goat, papa, I want a "Here! You run along into the other room lise a good girl and you shall have a goat." It had at least been made clear to tbe paternal mind that something was wanted and wanted badly.

The little maid returned to her adviser's office and told hiu? of the success of her mtsson. "You know how to get goats," she remarked approvingly, and rewarded the lawyer in a coin wh'ch does not usually pass current in a law office.

THE ASTOR LI8ARY.

Th

fir of the Four Voloeaea R-arfy— A Wockof Time and Patieae*. N. T. Son.

There are something over 220,000 volumes in the Astor Library. To read these books, would be more than a life work for even a most industrious maa. and the simple enumeration each year of all these books occupies a large feroe of practical counters. To catalogue such aoumbei of volumes, giving titles, authors, dates of puMcation, and other appropriate particultis, must appear, tbea, an xlaao^ impossible task. It was a tssk of thi* kind, thougk in a smaller way, that Dr Cogswell the first superintendent of the A«tor Library, undertook bofore the close of his term of office. The four volumes which represent bis patient years of labor were published between the years of 1857 and 1861. They comprise a catalogue of authors, and are gwe'i with much abbreviation, though arranged upon the plan which is now being followed more elaborately in the eat* hlogue io progress.

About six years ago the trasteea of the librsry authorised tbe making of a new catalogue, and Mr. Jacob Astor give thenecessary funds for tbe undertaking. In Dr. Cogswell'a catalogue there were about 90,000 volumes, covering the purchases. If the first twetny years of the library, on 1878 tbe number of books had doubled. The new catalogue will, like the old one, cover a period of twenty years, briaging the work up to 1880, and will contain 110,000 books. Work wss begun on it six years ago, and Mr. Charlen A- Nelsea a professional cataloguer, has hsd charge of the work. He has had three or four skilled assistants, aud hopes within the next two yesrs to complete the important work, 'i he first of the proposed four volumes wss printed last sprii g, and is, by reason of fuller particulars about books and authors, as big aa two of Dr. Cogwel.'s volumes It covers the authors from A to D. The second volume will be -eady earlr tbe coming year, and the two re»maining numbers will tie printed in the year fidlowi g. The cost of the work, itis expected, will come within $50,000.

When the new catnl gue ia fiaiahad* 1,000 copies will be printed and one will be presented to each of the great libra*ries in the world.

He said that 2 per cent, of all the animals killed in tbe abattoirs of this city have turberculosis, and that 21 per cent of all nilch cows have the same disease. Last July witb Mr. Romame, tbe meat inspecter, he visited the stock about tbe city. Oo the day of his visit 13 cows were sod to Jersey buyers, 3 of which bad tuberculosis. In 16 herds that furnished milk for Brooklyn every herd compromised, animals that had this disease and in one of tbe cows, selected at random, and killed tbe bronchial glands were three times their normal sise, with calcified sections, cbeesy lumps and cavities filled with mnco purulent matter. Dr. Blaine exhibited specimen of evident cases of tuberculosis taken from the abattoirs in various parts ef the city.
