' hoarse, and feeling an uncomforw cu ness before reaching home. Then v ' of the storm it was certainly imprude -r her to go rushing from room to room clos. windows that had been left open for ventilation, quitting the frightened childen, and in various ways superintending the progress of the cyclone, clothed only in the fashion of the hour. But it didn't matter so much now how ehe became possessed of the racking demon. the . fact of possesion could not be disputed. She coughed constantly till exhausted, then wheezed and gr.spod and choked till she could cough again. Her eyes were red and awollen; her li ps blistered and dry; her voice, -when not subdued to a wh!3per, was noarse, fluctuating contralto. All her neighbora came to see her, and they All sympathized with h-r and comforted her. -One told her how her own dear sister had had just such a cough, ht just the same time ot year, how she had '-taken everything," but died just as the long hot days came Another knew of a parallel ca-e, only the p tient lasted a little longer; dying with the coming of frort. Another unfortunate had lingered, bedridden for years; bankrupting her husband, and wearing out the strength , and patience of her fritnds. And, as if a prospect of death by slow torture was not enough for any mortal woman to bear, each storyhad a sequel, giving graphic descriptions of neglected children, the second marriage of the widower, and the cruel stepmother. Mrs. Titkins thought she never before knew the meaning of total depravity, llow much latent wickedness there might be in the heart cf a woman could notbeguessd at until she had the care of motherless children, whose father she had promised to love, honor and obey. No matter if the narrator of some dismal history did sometimes 3end a little child screaming from the room with a boxed ear; wasn't the child her own? Didn't she know her own business? Our mothers have certain in-alienable rights. Their hands are light, their voice are soft; it takes a dead woman's children to devel op all undesirable qualities. It was of no u?e for Mrs Pitkins to asforters that this couirh of hers mere trifle, a small matter of irrita- ' w&a a tion of the throat, a slight bronchial afiection, probably, which would pass off in a few days. She wa3 assured that hopefulneea was a most tellinc sign of hasty con sumption, and disbelief in the presence of ... P Al the disease a never tailing symptom oi me entire rui" of the luns.

Lit1 darlings! was it possible she must leave them when they redded her care so constantly? She sighed as she closed the door, and no doubt looked and felt melancholy enough to warrant her comforters that she had full possession of a dozen pairs of sound lungs. But opinions that are not "adjustable are almost worthless In the dining room Mrs. Titkins found one of her daily visitors talking to Mr. Pitkins. ßhe hnd come in to borrow a fruit-dish, and while Mrs. Titkins went to the closet to bring it, this consoling angel remarked in a stage whisper to the husband: "Dear roe! how gloomy your wife has grown with that cough! Her lungs must be entirely gone; melancholy is a sure sign she ougbt to nave the best of care while she does Mr. Pitkins house was a pleasant place to visit. M. Pitkim was in the habit of saying ,.t ti-v held levees on Sunday afternoons Ttfthsnnaned.oa this particular Sunday hm nnmW of calleiWas unusually large. itf vukin. between her paroxysms of

coughing wa quite gay. Yet, as often as ehe thought of her children, and the probability of their being deprived of kindness and loving can, thtre came an undercurrent of sadness to her gaity that was quite perceptible to her friends. Ever since she ivuld read she had practiced reading aloud; and it was one of the delights of her happy household for her to read aloud, for the children, something a little beyond what they read for themselves; bu; which her excellent articulation and occasional pauses to explain Hnd

and simplify, made a cenuine least. On thN Sunday evening the children should have their reading even if he wxa feeling miserably. She read . and taUnl to them till their eyes grew heavy and htr voce was nothing but a hu.ky whisper. Then the little ones were tucked away in their beds, and their mother sat for an hour, toasting her leet at tne grate, and for a wonder, not coughing. She was sure she was if-et.incf better. 1 hecloek structc 10. She went t her own bed room, tired, sleepy hoarse, but the cough was gone. "1 hope you will rect to-night.' -aid Mr. ritkins, your CJii'h sterns to have left you." "Yes, I'm nmeh be tter only very tired." but what sort of tantalizing domon had tnken that cough tor a vehicle of ex precision and action ? No sooner had Mrs. Tiikins touched her pillow than was commenced that tiresome scratching in her throat that persisted, hanging on, reaching up and down, further and futhor each way, of a elaw it was like nothing el-o. It fastened its fumrs Urft in one spot, then in another, tearing and pulling and wrenching as if determined to turn the throat wrong side out and upside down. Then picked out tine threads and fibers that reached into the depths of the. shculders and chest. How strong they w:re! if they'd only break what a r. 1 ef it would be! It was of no use to swallow au extra dose of each one of the infallible remedies her friend had prepared. It was of no nse to change her position from one side to the other. It was of no use to sit wrapped in shawls, and supported by pillows. That inexorable clan still held the citadel and that frantic cough still rioted all over the house, and out into the night. The clock struck 11. It was not only painful, it was exasperating. Mrs. Pitkins beard a window opened across the street, she knew who w.ts listening, and she knew hew she would be looked at in the morning. The window wa- softly closed, and the woman in the hands of the cough demon knew how that listener over the way was shaking her head and sighing, and no doubt casting about in her mind as to what device in flowers she v ould contribute to the tuneral, how much she could afford to pay, and what she would pay to the children about their dad mother. Gradually all s.-unds died in the streets but the patroimm's whistle or horn, the screeching, of the railroad engines commencing Monday's work and the clock in the tower that grew noisy in the stillness of night. If Mrs. Pitkins could tee her thoughts and fancies of that night in words on some bright day when she is in sound health, she would be likely to deny ail knowledge of them, and think any woman capable of thinking such a chaotic mass or incapable of preventing herself thinking it a lit subject for treatment in an insane hospital. At fint her only thought was of applying the internal and external remedies, quite sure that the claw would be ranqui.-hed within 15 or 20 minutes; but when SO minutes passed, then another 30, then 00 more and the ngisy clock struck 12, she wonderered why Lucifer had not tried Job with a claw in hi3 throat. She was sure, as Job's children were beyond the possibility of a stepmother, he would have cursed God and went out and hanged himself, instead of making an example of himself to be thrown into poor tortured bodies' faces for thousands of years. Then came the weari ness, the utter exhaustion, when the 6ense of pain is half lost and the worst feeling is itation at the monotony. She dozed and ..-oed and coughed; dreamed she -was i X, orturtd for righteousness' sake, and I-: 't' ."as giving way; that she held out is.r ! . ''"d called to her tormentors as i..

She ' ;. the puzzle of 15, moving the blocks in v. with that demoniac claw. Then she routed herself, rubbed her throat and chest, took a a doee of each one of the infallible remedies, told Mr PitUins she was getting better and laid down uirain. to And herselt pursued by thousands of tinv flame colored imps. They swarmed over her head and shoulders, Sashed before her eves, hi-sed in her ears, darting like lightning here, there, every where, and at last settling in a swarm over r . 1 A. I her chest. Fach one nroceeded to admst a weapon he carried; what they were she could not discern; but they looked like needles of fire, and so she thought them as a million or more all at once pierced her lungs and riveted themcoWoa ilipr Thf-n how those imps laughed and shouted and sang and danced, now they distorted their ugly little faces, and writhed I and twisted till sparks flew irom every point of their bodies.

Fortunes Made and L si Stock?. in Miniig The Kxperlencea of Archie Borland, the LuckleAt Miner of the Pacific Slope A UundredJThousaud a Day. New York Timw.J All over the paeiüc slope the name of Archie Borland is as familiar as nuggets, sage-brush, "Washoe, or silver bricks. "When he first went to San Francisco it was not a hard matter to know or be known by nearly everybody in the place, and as he not only grew quite as fast as the country, but generally managed to keep a few paces a'aead of it, he soon became known wherever the precious metals were found, and his gigantic and generally successful speculations made him a wonder to his fellow-operators. Mr Borland - is an example of what hard work and steady bead, combined with an unceasing flow of good luck, may do for a man among tne Western mines. Deginmug with a pick-axe and a tin cup, be is now something moro than a million -aire, having, meanwhile, seen his wealth increase at times at the rate of $25,000 to $50,000 a week, and again watch it dwindle away to the extent ot $1,500,000 inside of a fortnight. The writer lbgnd Mr. Borland in his rooms in the Sturtevant House, in this city, a few evenings ago, and with Pome difficulty induced him to tell the story of his romantic and successful life; and, once started, he gave the history of some of his most remarkable losses and gains something that even his most intimate friends before knew only by hearsay. Mr. Borland came from Ireland early in life, with all his capital invested in good muscle and a clear head. He settled down on a farm a in small place a few miles below Albany, and worked away until the mining fever swept over the country, in 1849. The epidemic soon made its way up the Ilidsou; he was among its first victims, lie heard ot the wealth that was being picked up loose all over the soil of California, and wanted to do some of the picking himself. But it was a loug journey to California much longer than it is now and it took a good deal of money to get there. Not prepared to start at once, he immediately began to his earnings, with the hope of enough in a short time to pay save up gaining his pasmonth sage money, "len dollaro a were good watces for a man on a farm in those days." said he, "and it took a tiptop man to make $12.' So saving was slow work. It was not till early in 1852 that he was ready to start, and then he took passage in one of the steamships that by that time were running to California, and was landed without accident in San Francisco. "I made up my mind t two things at the start," said he, ''not to work for wages any longer than I could help, but to go in Jor myself, and then never take a partner." This plan served him well. "With nothing but a frying-pan, a pick-axe, tin cup, and a smalj supply of provisions, he went, as soon as he reached California, out into Nevada county, and began work in the embryo mines for $4 a day. Working there, often in water up to his waist, at the hardest kind of labor, with the roughest food, of his own cooking, to eat, he carefully laid by the greater part of kis wages, intending some day to own the mines he was working in. But they did not prove profitable enough. As long as they paid nim his f 4 a iay he could not complain, but the gold was not thick enough to make a profitable investment; so, after Eome months of labor and saving, he changed quarters, and went to the Grass Valley district. Here ho was able in a short time to buy, in a small way, into some of the 11?Z; d .T ."fn. V it r; riVW vrv var. till 1858. when the Frazer river rfitmnt bc?an. Parties of miners I were going there everyday, and wild rumors of their tremendous success came back from them. The ground was believed to be covered with gold, and Mr. Borland caught this fever with the rest, and sold out in the Grass Valley and prepared for a voyage up " e Frazer river. This was a difficult and ;angerous undertaking in those days as, : ideed, it is yet The river, then almost un- ; lored, was full of unknown rapids and falls, and navigation was slow and uncertain. The steamer in which he took passage made her way. nevertheless, several hundred miles up the river, almost up to the borders VI lrmau voiumuia, aim me uieu koi. irauv ... . K . .. " I to pick up a little loose gold, liut they found very little gold to pickup nd very little gold to pick up. What there wa9 was hard to get at; other prospec tors had been over the Held before them; the expedition, in short, proved a disastrous . 1 T lailure, and the young miner soon found that he had sold out a good thing to take hi3 chances in a sinking ship. So the next thing was to get back to whence he came from. He had spent a good deal of money on the expedition, and not only did he have his own expenses to pay, but, finding a num. ber of "the boys whom he knew tar up tne Frazer river utterly destitute, and unable to et back to caiuornia, ne paia ineir way back too, and went back with them. . It is no wonder they had Bpent all their money jn the Frazer river country, for flour was I... . m s s selling there lor i a pouna, Dacon ior i.io and coffee and sugar for $1. 20 a pound. Reaching Grass Valley again in 1859, with still enough money left to buy a little interest in the old mines, he set about retrieving his fortunes. One of his speculations there, after getting a little on his feet, was the buying of the Kock Turmel, wnicn naatnen Deenopen ed 2,800 feet In 1803, some little speculationa went wrontr. A vein was not as wide nor as deep as it was expected to be, and what money Archie Borland had saved disappeared like a snow-bank. "You might wonder." said he, "how. when, a man has a good pile of money, he can lose it so quick. You'd think he d manage to hold on to some 0f it. You might Just as well try to hold on to an avaiancne. nen once sne siarw, I mhaur! thintrs must frt out irom unaer. .

Never let eo vour hold, and you are bound to catch something." With preciou? few dollars left to operate on, he bought a mule, and once more wore a tin cup in his belt and a frying-pan strapped on with his blanket. With a small party of men bent I , . . , . , upon tho same errand, he mounted his mule and started across the hills for Idaho. They had 18 mules in .the party, r packed with I provisions, lheir lare was a nttie Dacon, a little biscuit, and a little coffee. Every morning they put tne coneo grains oetween

two stones, and pounded them up. . Why mey wiu repiasuer a rwm, iuruumg didn't they, carry ground coffee?

There was not a house on do in papered walls, and when once the the way, and'he road that mule 900: miles, paint is dry there is no question about tho eoinc irom one mining camp to another, but poisons used in producing desirable tints. .L 1 J:4f f U.V.,. jÄr- ol .uUmiiiAiii onlwvl i Wft.119

After a long and painful Jour-

ney, he reached Idaho, and went to work. By diligent labor he soon owned shares in fome of the mines there. By By 18C6 he had accumulated $15,000, which he had, not in checks or drafts or bits ot paper, but in solid gold-dust, done up In bags. It was while he was here that the news of President Lincoln's assassination reached the camp, and even the rough and hardy miners were stricken with grief. There was no telegraph, and a newspaper, which generally came from Sacramento, would bo bought eagerly for a dollar. So, though money was plenty, news was scarce. With this good stock of gold-dust Mr. Bor

land determined to return to California which he considered his proper Held, although he had prospered in Idaho. Wells, Fargo He (j . had then established express routes in Idaho, and he went to them and inquired what it would cost to transport his dust to San Francisco. lie was told $1.25 for every $100 worth, and even at that price he must run his own risk, lie thought that if he had to run his own risk he might as well save the express charges and be his own transportation company, for he knew that in that caie nobody would get his dust away without fighting for it. The road at that time was infested by "road agents," and the journey was a dangerous one. 13 u the bought some mules, a big navy revolver and a choice stock of Arkansas toothpicks, and started. It was a lone and lonely journey, but after six days and six nights of hard riding, he landed his irold dust tsaleiy In ?an Francisco, Theu he bought into Cometock and other mines, and made money, lhere were no stocks in those days, but a foot of surface was the equivalent of a share of stock. One of his first successful speculations on a large scale was in the Savage mine. In July, 18ü6, he bought five feet of Savage at $1,100 a foot. The first month he owned it he drew $50 a foot dividend. The second month it went up to $75; then it took another rise and reached $100 a foot dividend every month. In the following year, 1867, the value went up tremendously. Early in the year it was worth $2,000 a foot; from this it wont steadily up to $2,500, $3,000, $4,000 find $5,000 a foot. At this price he sold his live feet tor $25.000, having received more than all the money he originally invested in monthly dividends. Then ho began to think himself a rich man. Other stocks that he held went up, and his fortune gradually increased gradually for the Pacific slope, but rapidly for any other country. From $25,000 he went up by degrees to $50,000, $75,000 and $400,000. In 18)'J, he bought largely into Comstock, and up to 1872 he had no competitor in his gigantic operations. Then Jones and Ileywood came up, and, as he says, he had to keep his eyes open from that time on, "for 1 had to compete againet men who had millions and knew bow to use them. I went into Crown Point an got singed, but that was nothing there's ups and downs in any business." At one time his dividends for California and Consolidated Virginia amounted to $40.000 a month. "What do you consider your biggest specu lations, Mr. Borland?" he was asked. "The best winning speculations I ever made," ho replied, ' wore from 1872 to 1874. 1 made a heap of money in that time, and 1 needed it to carry me through my worst losses, in 1878. But I ot through, and am still afloat. In 1872 I bought 500 shares of Central for less than $5,000. This mine was soon afterward cut up and put into California, and the redistribution gave me 1,250 shares. I never paid an assessment on it, for none was ever called for, and in no time the stock went up to $740 a share when I sold. That paid me pretty well. Let me see; 1 paid $5,000, and sold for $925 000. That left me a profit of $920,000. That was one of my best speculations, but not quite so good as another one that I was in almost at the same time. I bought 500 shares of Consolidated Virginia for $50 a share, and paid two assessments on it, which brought the price up to $06 a share. This mine was also "cut up" just about this time, and my 500 shares spread out into 2,750 shares. I held this stock for two years, when it went up like a flash. I sold out in 1S74 for $750 a share. It cost me $28,000 for my stock, and I sold it for $2, ObloüO. That was pretty good interest on mymoney One oaturd ay the stock was selling for $350 a share; but I held on. The following Monday it was worth $500 a share. 1 tell you it took a pretty strong head to stand that. I was getting rich, not at the rate of a million a minute, as they say, but only hundred thousand a day or so; but that was fast enough. Nobody ever knew anything about this till it was ali over. I never told iny wife and family any of my business affairs, and never kept any books. The only book tliat I kept was a little puis book that I carried in my inside pocket, with a record of all that I bought and sold, and the price. I never let anv one see this, and never , . .. . -. hmnirhr it suit uYrnt inniMimMnn u Sil nn rt V aiiwnoon, ordnen was an aione. 3 neavy losses, in ioio, were on oierra Nevada and Union. I lost $1,400.000 then inside of 10 days shrunk that much in depreciation of stock. The veins were not s j wide as was expected." Mr. Borland is still interested in a good many mines though he spends more time in his handsome residence in Oakland, California, with his family than when ha wa3 younger. He thinks there is still as good chances a? ever for young men among the mines. And those young men who have good muscles, and do not care for starched cufls, may be interested to know that the average pay of a miner just now is $3.50 a day. This is not as quick a way of getting rich, however, as to buy 1,000 shares of Belcher at $36 a share, and sell it as Mr Borland did, for $1,600 a share. House Cleaning.

Those who have tried paint on the walls of rooms speak very stronly in its favor. It closes up the pores of the plaster so that it can not absorb ill odcrs, it can be easily cleaned with soda and water, (soap and water make it spotty) and it can be made of any desired tint. Perhaps ome of our readers do not know what active absorbants paper and plaster are and, how,' when they become thoroughly saturated with various effluvia nothing but entire renewal will cleanse them.

If the wall about the stove has been smoked by the stove, cover the black patches with gum shellac, and they will not strike through either paint or kalsomine. Furniture needs cleaning as much as other wood-work. It may be washed with warm soap 6uda quickly wiped dry and theh rubbed with an oily cloth. To polish it, rub it with' rotten stone and sweet oil. Clean off1 the oil, and polish' with chamois skin. For ordin ary wood-work use whiting to rub the dirt off and ammonia. Mortar and paint may be removed from window glass with hot, sharp vinegar. Grained wood should be washed with cold tea. Carpets should be thoroughly beaten oa the wrong side first and then on the right, after which spots may be removed by the use of ox gall or ammonia and water. If paper has been laid under the carpet all dust may be easily removed with it with out raising any. The warmth of floors is greatly increased by having carpet lining or layers of paper under it. t)rain pipes and all places that are sour or impure may be cleansed with lime water, copperas water or carbolic acid. Copperas mixed with the whitewash put upon the cellar walls will I keep vermin away. Strong brine may be used to advantage in washing: bedsteads hot alum water is also good lor this purpose. Oil of lavender will drive away fleas. Hellebore sprinkled on the floor at night destroys cockroaches; they eat it and are poisoned. Cayenne pepper blown into the cracks where ants " congregate will drive them away. The same remedy is good also for mice. If gilt frames when new are covered with a coat of white varnish all specks can then be washed btf with water water without harm. Good fires should be kept up during house cleaning time even though the doors and windows be kept open, and more than usual attention should be given to the provision of a nutritious and generous diet. Under the most favorable circumstances house-cleaning makes immense demands upon the nervous system as well as on the muscular, and good iooa at regular intervals win be a great help in enabling one to be patient and find comfort in the philosophy set forth at the begin ning of this brief esay. Old Maids. The precise age at which a woman be comes "an old maid," we learn, has never yet beeu satisfactorily settled. Is it 25, 30, 35 or 40? "Wo confess frankly that we have never met tho person who dared to decide so delicate and difficult a question. So long as women are pretty, good-tempered, gentle and agreeable, they should pass as young ladies. One of two thin es is certain. Wo men are old maids either from necessity or choice. If they are 6o from necessity, thev certainly do not deserve censure; if so from etioice, it would be alike unjust to blame them for this is a free country, and every wo man has the privilege of deciding for herself whether to "marry or not to marry." . Self-Kespect. Always remember no one can debase you but yourself. Slander, satire, falsehood, in justice these can never rob you of your manhood. Men mdy lie about you, they may de n ounce you, they may cherish suspicions manifold, they may make your falling the target of their wit or cruelty; never be alarmed never swerve an inch from the line your judgment and conscience have marked one for you. They can not by all their efforts take away your knowledge of yourself, the purity of your character and the generosity of your nature. While these are left you are, in point of fact, unharmed.
