I wouldn't da it It's a basinet hat we ain't fit for. We are doing very 'well now; at any rate we are walking with car eyes open and managing oar own affairs. Think1 how we hae worked and contrived, and almost stinted ourselves to get that thousand dollars into the bank. And what hare we done it for? Don't you still desire to own the Cranaon meadow, and don't yon mean to build the new barn? Oh, Walter! If yon will listen to me I will tell Mr. Plausible Sparkler to take care of his own business and let you take care of yours. Let us own the beautiful meadow aa we have so long talked of, and let oa have barn room enough for the cattle we can keep when the meadow is ours. O, think, my dear husband, we'll hare one of the best and one of the hand somest farms in the whole region." "Yes, I know, Jennie: but you don't exactly understand. You don't take into account what is sure to come back ta us. Think of the thousands we'll hare where now we've got little or nothing. Why, bless you! look at it. Mr. Sparkler has made me a grand offer. He lets rue have the stack for 32.50 and the par value Is $20. Why, Td be 9 fool not to take it. He wouldn't do that to many now, you bet!" "Walter, are you entirely carried away by that man's wonderful talk? Now, you will just listen to me for a few momenta. In the rirst place, you know very well that Plausible Sparkler wouldn't give you a dollar to save you. He is not one of that kind. Now, about the price of the stock. Look me in the eye, Walter; would the man sell you a horse for one-quarter or one-half what it was really worth? Ah, you know he wouldn't. No, the very fact that he offers the shares at that price is proof that they are good for nothing. And now, there is just one more thing. If the land of which Sparkler tells was so rich in minerals, in coal and oil, and in sach magnificent lumber, do you suppose that he and his mates would be around amort poor folks like u picking up dollar by dollar? No, you know they would easily find the capital necessary to develop It." "Ah, bat. my dear wife, the very object of j this company ia to keep oat these wealthy capitalists. These men have been poor themselves, and they are bound to give a poor rr an a chance. And. you see, they must Ciave money capital with which to develop the propetty and put it in working order. There are steam engines to be put uo and furnaces and forges to be built, and a branch road must be built Don't you see? Ojeor two thousand will" "Two thousand! Why.it was only one thousand the other day." 'Yes. 1 know; but d'ye see. I've concluded that $- ( will double; and more, too; for they will make me a present of fiftv shares outright if I put in 2,000. That would be 8y shares, and in less than a year that stock will be worth f 10! Ia two years it will be at par! Ard we'll live to see it worth an ven hundred, ltell you, Jennie, it's a big thine!" "But where are you to raise a thousand dollars, Walter?" "Why, we've got a thousand in the bank, -and I could raise a thousand on the house and farm." Jennie Witherell turned pale and trembled. She was frightened, for she saw that her husband was entirely infatuated. Walter was thirty y ears of age. a strong, steady, in--dustrious, simple-minded man; and she, the wife, was two years youDger. They had been married eight years, and three beautiful children blessed their home. Walter had received the farm with his wife. It had been her father . Hut their had been a thousand dollar mort zage on it, and that mortgage he had lifted with money cf his own when they were married, taking the 'title deed 3 in his own name. Thus far ia life he had been content to work honestly and industriously, seeia? his store increasing slowly but surely. He was an excellent mechanic a house carpenter, and when there was building to be done he conld assume direction of the work, receiving for his labor sufficient to hire three trong men on his farm for the eaoe time. Hi had the best breed of sheep in the country, the best -cows for milk and batter, and some of the ery tztst blood in the way of horse flesh. In short be was one of the most thrifty an! xnoet prosperous, in very way, of the mechanic farmers in the State; and the projectors of the ''Grand Orient Petroleum, Alining and Manufacturing Company" had spotted him an one of their flrt victims, and to plausibly bad thy talked, so grandiloqnentlv bad they set forth the golden possibility of their yast proprety, and so plainly

had tbey given him to see the wealth that roust flow upon him that his head was turned. On the very day after the conversation to which we have listened, Mr. Plausible Sparkler called at Walter Witherell'a house, finding himself and his -wife both in. He was a man of middle age about forty with light, flaxen hair, neatly eiled and curled, and an immense flaxen moustache, a pair of eyes Of a light bluish gray, which in certain lights, scintillated like the eyes of a squirrel; a prominent Roman nose, like the cutwater t ! a boat, with a sloping forehead, and a pair of ears that betokened asinine will combined with great caution. He was dressed in the very height of fashion, wore an immense diamond (or paste) in his shirt front, and a heavy weight of bright, yellow metal (it looked like gold attached to his watch. "Aha! ha! ha!" laughed Sparkler, after he bad laid out his brilliant plan for the hundredth time, and had, in bold fancy, filled Walter's cotters to the brim with gold. "Ha! ha! ha! Old Spoopendyke came to me yesterday and wanted to give me his block of eight story marble front steps in New York for two hundred shares of our stock. Ah! the old rascal has a long head on his shoulders. He can see aye, see what our enterprise must come to. But I did not listen. You can imagine that it was a great temptation, but I put it behind me. We had resolved that we would not give our property to make wealthy men wealthier; but to make poor men wealthy poor men who were at the same time deserving. Think, my dear Witherell you will own more than old Spoopendyke proposed to take for that valuable estate in the great metropolis." And so the oily-tongued man talked on until Walter had the same as promised that he would be prepared to take the stock on the morrow. That very afternoon, after Sparkler had gone, Walter filled out a mortgage deed with his own hand and then called in a Justice to acknowledge the signature of himself and wife. Jennie signed it, but it almost broke her heart to do it And during the evening he took the deed to the man of whom he was to have the money, and received $1,000 ten new crisp $100 greenbacks, fresh from the United States Treasury. When Walter reached home, on his return from the money lender's he found a boy at the door with a telegram. It was from his sister, informing him of the sickness of his mother. "The Doctor says dangerous. Come immediately," was at the close of the message. The nearest railway station was six miles distant, and there was no train until morning which would help him on his way. However, the business to be done with Mr. Sparkler he could leave with his wife ju3t as well. The preliminaries had been all arranged and all that remained to be done was to pay over the money ?2.000 and take the certificate of stock. "There will be a paper to sip:n a sort of bond just for form's enke. which you can sign just as well. The wife's name is good." "Hadn't you better give me the power of attorney?" suggested Jennie. "Mr. bparkler may refuse to take my name without some such thing. Just you sit down and write out a simple statement that you give me entire authority to sign for you a certain paper stating what it is, and that you will hold yourself bound thereby' Walter liked the idea, and he proceeded forthwith to make out the paper as his wife had suggested. He gave her this, together with 2.000 in money, and she was to do the business with Sparkler. The f 1,00-J from the ravings bank he had drawn that very day, so that the money was all ready On the following morning Walter ate an early breakfast, then harr eased the horse which his wife was used to driving, and having kissed his little ones, he entered the carriage, and Jennie drove him over to the station, and stopped there and saw him otf. On her way home she stopped at the dwelling of her dear friend, Kate Moul ton, whose husband was going to take 1.000 worth of stock of the Grand Orient Petroleum Mining and Manufacturing Company. "Kate," said Jennie, "Charlie will surely take this stock?" "Yes; I have tried to persuade him, but he will not listen.'' "Dear Kate, I want you to do me a favor. Listen." And she whispered the request into her ear, so that not even the walls should hear it. "Will you do it?" And Kate Moul ton promised that she would do it, upon which Jennie Witherell went home quite content. It was afternoon when Mr. Sparkler called, bright and bustling, ready for his business with Walter Witherell. He was somewhat disappointed when he fonnd that the man was gone, but when the wife had assured him that she was fully empowered to act for her husband, he was content. She led him into the library and gave him a seat, after which she proceeded to business. And I'lau&ible Sparkler, J'?q., found her not quite so ready to his hand as he might have fonnd the master of the household. However, she managed to get through the business after a fashion, and she breathed more freely when she had seen the hut of the philanthropic speculator. On the morning of the next day a telegram came from Walter, to his wife, informing her that his mother was failing and she had better join him with the children, and on the day after that, leaving the house in the care of their one house servant and the farm hands, she set forth in answer to her husband's call. She arrived in season to see Walter's mother alive, and to sit by hex side when she fell asleep. They tarried until after the funeral, and then returned home and took up the usual cares of lite.

It was on the second morning after their arrival home that Jennie gave to her hus band a large, legal-looking envelope, within which he found a beautifully illuminated certificate of the Grand Orient Petroleum Mining and Manufacturing Company, certifying that Walter Witherell. in the sum of two thousand dollars, the receipt whereof was thereby acknowledged, was entitled to eight hundred and fifty shares of the capital stock of said company, etc. Wslter carefully refolded the handsome flaming document, put it back into its envelope and put it away in a private drawer of his secretaire, and from that time ceased to talk abont it. That is, he talked no more with his wife, but ever and anon, when he chanced to meet Charles Moulton and George Simmons Doth of whom had bought some of the same stock, he would pass a fdW words with tbem on the subject. Time passed on six months were gone, and not a word had Walter heard from Sparkler, He began to be uneasy, and, more than once, had (aid to himself he wished he had not taken that stock He had heard of the failure of many companies which had proved to have been simply frauds and cheats. Nine months had passed, when, one day Charles Moulton stopoed Walter iu the street and asked him if be had received a notice of assessment 10 per cent. from the Treasurer of the Grand Orient, No. Walter said he had not. "Well," said Moulton, "they sent to me, and notified me that If the assessment was not paid within thirty days, my stock would be forfeited, or, if they chose, they could come on and collect it. as the bonds which I signed just for form's sake, gave them power to do so, So I have just sent on the hundred dollars. 1 tell you. Walter, it came hard. O: I wish I'd listened to my wife, and let the thing alone." Walter went home fee'ing unhappy, but he cared not sneak with bis wife on the u ot 0! If I had only listened to Jennie!"' Trat was the burden of his wall. It was dnriosr the first week in November that Walter had given the mortgage on his home and drawn his $1,000 from thesivinirs bat.k. It was in July, next folloin, that. Mocltrn and Simmons had been a?seaed 10 per cent, on the stock they had taken. &.t that lime, as Walter afterward learned, Sim mons had been inclined to let hh stock and 1 1,000 already paid in go, rather than be bled any more; but the othcers of the com cany had very rlearly shown him that they iad power, under the bond ho had glvea, ta

come on and make distraint on any property

of his tbey could rind. And Walter was in for two thousand I If the worst should come it would swallow up the rest of his farm every bit of It! He suffered more and more; and he suffered more keenly because he would not speak with his wife, and ask her eympathy. A year had passed and another itovembsr had come. One morning, at the postoifice. Charles Moulton, pale and aghast, and quiv ering With mental torture, pointed out to Walter witherell an item in the city paper wnich a friend had eent him, Walter -took the paper and read as follows: "A Sap Collapse. We fear that many of tho honest, hard working; farmers and mechanics of the surrounding country are sufferers by tne col lapse of the Uran a Orient retro.eum, ruining and Manufacturing Company, so called. The affair has been a stupendous swindle from the first ; yet so adroitly did the corporators do their business that their victim can gain no redress. The company owned all the land they pretended to own but. Ln truth, a more utterly worthless tract of land than was their territory, was not to be found on the continent. But the loss of monev paid for stock Is not, A few moneyed men have bought up the whole concern, and are now making distraint cpon the orinlnal sobcriDers to the stock for the collection of the full face value of the premium nolea which thev unwittingly gave at the time of subscribing. We venture to say that scacely a man of them dreamed that he was giv ing a bona fide note when ho signed that simple. Innocent looking bond. It is hard, but It might have been worse, borne may find the experiment worth all It will cost, while all may de well to re member the homely old saying: 'Cobbler, stick to your last.' " Walter gave back the paper with a groan and quietly sought the fresh air. When he got home his wife was frightened. She thought him deadly sick. She hastened to his aide and wound an arm around his neck. "Dear Walter, what is it? What is the matter?"' "O, Jennie, Jeanie. If I had only listened to von." And then in broken tones and tears he told her of the sad collapse of the Grand Orient. He concealed nothing, but told her the plain, unvarnished truth. Not only was the $2,000 gone that he had already paid, but they were coming for 2.000 more, and he could not escape paying iL Jennie sat down and looked into her hus band's face. What meant that lurking smile which caught at the corners of her blue eyes and about the full, ruby lips? Was t possible that she could nnd it in her heart to make sport of his . cruel, bitter agony.' " w alter." she said at leDgth, "will you go and get your certificate of stock, and let us look it over?" He rose, looking like a decrepit old man, and procured the envelope, and brought it back. Jennie took it, and drew out the certificate and opened it. "Where is the company s seal?" she asked. "What"' cried Walter, "ia there no seat?' "No; and look at the signatures. Do they look as such signatures ought to look?" A brief -silence, and then the wile, with happy tears mir cried with her smiles, threw ber arms around her husband's neck, exclaiming as she did so: "Oh, alter, I know you will forgive me now. 1 did a bold thing; at the time you might have called it outrageous; but I could not pay away that hard-earned rjoney for what 1 knew to be a mess of pottage. Dear husband, you have never owned a share of this stock. I went to Kate Moulton I knew that Sparkler was to call there before he came here and I got her to beg of Mr. Sparkler one of the bank certificates of stock on the plea that Bhe wanted to keep the pretty picture for a curiositv. lie gave it to her. and she brought it to me at once. When Sparkler called upon me I sent him abont his business oil-hand. I told him what 1 thought of him and his company; and I will only say that he was very soon glad to get away. Then I earned back my $1.000 to the savings bank and Mr. Holden took it back just as though we had never touched it. And Mr. lialdwm cheer fully gave me up the mortgage for the return of the 71,000 he had given you. The certifi cate I filled up myself, believing you would never notice its Btrange look. "Now, waiter, darling, I am ready to be scolded. Let me have it as savagely as you please: only when you nave linisned, I nave a favor to ask." "Ask it now. Jennie." he said in a low. broken whisper. It is this: I want yon to promise me that you will never " "Hold on:" lie caught her to his bosom and kissed her again and again. 4 0h! my own blessed wife! never, never again will I step aside from the trne, upright, straightforward and legitimate path of honest business and labor. I have had enough of speculation. Some rcen may enjoy it; some may prosper in it; but I was not cut out for It No. Jennie, your errand lesson shall not be lost on an unworthy husband. When we are done with this home we we will leave it with cur children; and they will find it in good condition and unincumbered; and I shall not be ashamed to have them know just how much of the home they owe to their mother, Hush! I wish them to know it. Especially do I wish our son to know it, that he may take warning by the experience of his father; for though I have not lost my two thousand dollars, yet believing l was in the trap, I hare suffered more than I can tell. Yes, I want our boy to know." "And now, my darling, let us thank God for the blessing of this happy hour- And I will thane ilim for one of the bestand noblest wives that man ever had." S. Cobb, Jr. Illalne's Cons-piracy. tNew York lit raid. J Blaine himself gives evidence that he is the heart and soul of this conspiracy by the following indecent appeal: Arr.OTA, Nov. 7. To Chairman B. F. Joues, of the Itepublieaa Na tional Committee: I s:n advUed that there hare bee a fraud commit.ed In New York 5tte. I believe that the honest vote of the State gives a Republican plurality, and I ask the committee to see that we hove a filr and honest couat. J. G. I.ainc The significance of this is that this same Jones telegraphed Blaine that Cleveland had carried this Mate. Elaine findinz, therefore, that his very tools were failing him knowing that Jay Gould had slipped out. and as certaining tbat even his committee was about to throw up the sponge, sent the above as an indication of the position they mutt take. This dispatch is, therefore, analogous in nature to that famous letter to Mr. Fisher in which Blaine pointed out to tbat gentleman what sort of letter he might write in order to support Blaine in Congress against the charge of corrupt conduct in office. Blaine Wrote It. Washington Special. Positive and uthemic information has been received here to-night to the eSect that Blaine himself dictated the address Issued by the National Republican Committee last Thursday, decl ring that the Kepnblican ticket had been elected, reflecting outrasreouBly upon Governor Cleveland by falsely saying that, "the defeated candidate has control cf the election machinery of New York." Blaine's address was even more incendiary than that ls-uel by the committee. The latter made a frar alterations ln Blaine's draft, and the "crushed tragedian" rebeked the committee for making alterations.

If the waters along the coast of Alaska are only made use ot as they should be, writes a correspondent of the Philadelphia Press from Sitka, the disturbances sometimes arising between Maine fishermen and Canadians regarding the cod fisheries of Newfoundland will soon become annoyances of the past. If we utilize all the cod that there are in Alaska, we can afford to give England undistorbed possession of the '.'banks," for the channels about which we have been sailing are absolutely alive with as fine specimen of the lish as one may wish to ate. There is but little attention gtven the cod up to the present time, thougn 300 tons of dried and salted boneless cod were shipped last year from Kilisnoo. a herring oil factory south of Chilkhat, and nearly due east from bitka. It is an unsavory restingplace, this Kilisnoo, for combined with the oil factory is a phosphate or guano establishment, which emits an odor that is perceptible for miles around. If they cared to, the Kilisnoo people conld ship unlimited quantities of cod. The water is filled with choice varieties, averaging twenty-seven pounds in weight each, and they can be caught far more easily and at much less expense than can those found in eastern waters. Say what one pleases about Alaska Indians, the fact remains that they are excellent workmen and expert fishers. At Kilisnoo, ss at Chilkhat, they are employed in various capacities, and give general satisfaction. At the beginning of each teaton they purchase a complete outfit of clothes, rubber coats, gum boots, and all. and live upon so little that at the end of their work they have laid' by a considerable Bum. It is the opportunity to work provided by the white man that will do mire than anything else to enlighten and civilize the Alaska Indians. Missionary work may accomplish a certain amount of good, bat once inculcate the idea that it is a good thing to make money and live in a decent house and the native will begin to enter upon a life of which, as yet he has hardly a glimrse. Kilisnoo is locaiod on the southern banks of a narrow chan r el tbat leads out of Peril Straits a-.d is believed to be in the very cente? . the beet herring grounds in Alaska. The .ativr ring here swarm in countless numbers and 13 a delicious morsel. The Kilisnoo fishermen think nothing of bringing in from 3u0 to 000 fish a day, in some of the inlets they do not use nets at all, but d rax barbed sticks through tne schools which catch the flih by the hundreds. Herring are very oily, and early in the season often yield four gallons to the barrel. The average weight ia a half a pound, and the average jield of oil to the barrel is two gallons. The season lasts from August to February. This year the Kilif-coo factory shipped 1S,702 gallons of oil as product of one month's work. The fish are caught, usually, in large nets. Dying almost immediately after being brought to the surface of the water, they are dumped into lug flat-bottom, b&rgea, towei by a mail

steam tugs, and carried to the factory wharf, where they are deposited in a tank having a capacity of fifty tons. From this tank a car runs up an incline to another bin, where the fish are again unloaded. From here they are shoveled at necessary times into the presroom, where they are repeatedly crushed and heated until the oil ia abstracted, and only the dry and mangled residue is left To separate the oil from the water it contains there is a series of tanks into which the liquid runa until the two liquids are properly divided. For a long time the'erushed and oillesa herring was allowed to go to waste. Left to itself the ill-smelling mass quickly becomes a pile of living worms. At last it was determined to utilize tnis rich accumulation, and about a year ago the company began to make phosphates or fertilizers frem it. At present the factory is not ia the best order, but it produces some 1,100 sacks of guano a month, and the experiment is considered a success, a fertilizer of great richness being produced at a comparatively Blight cost. Ot all the scenic attractions of this country, n&tnr&lly bo prolific in natural wonders. Glacier Bay must be acknowledged the grandest, most beautiful and most interesting. Imagine the view, those ef yon who have never seen a glacier or an iceberg or a mountain of dazzling whiteness. At our left and on our right ran two high ranges of forestcovered hills, wit h here and there a whitened peak lifting its head above the greenness. Around us lay the unruffled waters of the bay, stretching away toward the south past a group of tree-grown islands to where a line of pale blue summits rose into view. No canoes were visible, no sails appeared in sight, ne towns or Tillages or camps relieved the wilderness of the neighboring shores. A wilderness lay all about us, with waters bathing the feet of mountains and snow banks resting on rocky heights, while away off in the distance, and so far removed that only their general outlines could be seen, and every ugly scar was hid,, loomed the triple summits of the Falrweather range, Bhooting clear and white 1G 000 feet above the hills gathered about their base, and forming the northern boundary of the bay.Otber ranees have; a greater altitude than this of Fairweather, but few rise from so near the sea, and have so little to rob them of their height. Looking at this group, the mountains seem to have shot up from the ground, and they stand like cakes of ice frosted with freih-fallen snow. They were 100 miles away when we first caught 6ight of them, yet seemed not half tbat distance off, for the air was criso and clear, and the range itself is tall and massive; It was nearly sunset whe.i we began to near the Muir glacier, and the day was nearly ended when the towering cliff was reached at last, and our now dwarfed ships anchored near the frowning precipice. The shades of evening had gathered about the islands passed during the afternoon, and half hid from cght the lower ranges and trackless forests far away. But the Fairweather peaks were visible still, and glowed with a ghostly lieht in their isolated heights like heaps of phosphorus bung above the trees. Around us floated icy fragments, grinding against one another or floating solitary and majestic down their watery way. The air was sharp and cold, and a gloom, familiar on November days at heme, when the sky is overcast and flecks of snow begin to fall and daylight fades away. Now a death-like silence reigned and again a loud, harsh moan was heard as the glacier cracked, or a long-continued roar broke the stillness as a mak of snow aod ice, tot tf ring a moment, fell headlong into the space below. The scene was grand past all conception wild and awful, hushing all with admiration. No other wonder of nature equals this glacier of untold age as it comes silently, yet irresistibly, down from its birth-place to the sea, crying as it moves, the embodiment of strength, the destroyer of all life. All the glaciers of Switzerland might be combined, and together they would not equal this of Glacier Bay. Sotit crawling over that Ilepublic across the seas, and it would crush the country beneath its weight and leave a wilderness behind. From ice floes and clear weather we have come to Sitka, among green trees and rain and fog. Lying at anchor all night at the entrance to'Cross Sound, our course the following morning led past the Takou glacier, measuring sixteen ' miles across its mouth, and later into open sea, where the Pacific stretched its solitary waters on the one side and the western slopes of Alaska rose beside us on the other. Alaska facing the ocean is much like Alaska facing the inner channels. There are the came high mountains, covered with never-ending forests, long ranges, white with snow, reaching above the trees, and the lard-locked fjords. The highest peak near the coast is Mount St. Elias, rising 19,000 feet above the water level, but next in altitude to it is Fairweather, which fortunately appeared to us once more as we sailed to ward Sitka. Seen from the ocean, it is more beautiful than when viewed from any other

direction, for it stands near the sea, and looms up with unobstructed vision upon the trackless waters. Etapplnen a Habit. Philadelphia Ledger. 1 Every permanent Btate of raind is largely the effect of habit. J ust as we can perform an action bo continually that it comee to be habitual, so we can encourage conditions of mind till tbey, too, come to be habits of thinking and even of feeling. Every thooghtfnl parent or teacher recognizes this in the training of youth. The child constantly thwarted or scolded or ridiculed has constantly aroused within him feelings of resentment or discouragement or misery, and these grow to be habitual, and a character for ill-temper or moroseness or despondency is formed. On the other hand, the child that is wisely treated, whose faculties are brought into action, who is encouraged to do well, who is surrounded with cheerful faces and orderly arrangements, becomes accustomed to corresponding habits of thought and feeling. The exercise of self-control, of truthfulness, of honesty, and other essential qualities, not only result in habitual actions of tbe same nature, but in habitual feelings or states of mind that induce those actions. So tbe condition which we call happiness is likewise acquired to a considerable degree. It involves within it many things, bat tney are not impossible to secure, and when we have discovered tbem it rests with us to encourage or di scours ge them. Happiness is not only a privilege, but a duty, not a mere outward good that may perhaps come to us, but an inward possession which we are bound to attain. When we remember the contagions character of happiness, the strength, courage, and hope it excites by its very presence and the power for good it exerts in every direction, we cannot doubt our obligation to attain as much of it as possible.

SOLD BY TEFFT, HLLK &C0., 5cw BREWSTER'S HOUSK. The Curious Mansion of the Attorney General of the United States. Philadelphia Letter to the Chicago Tribune. Attorney General Brewster, who recently arrived from Newport, is still in town. He will leave for Washington, however, next week, and during the season will entertain with his usual antique elegance. Brewster's house his home here is one of the queerest and at the same time coziest old mansions in the city. It was in the fashionable part of the town forty years ago, but fashion Has tucked up her skirts and left it. It is now in the midst of the section of tbe city that is devoted to lawyers' offices, banks and beer saloons. Mr. Brewster has always nsed the suite of rooms on the first floor as his own offices. Queer-looking old rooms they are, too, like big square boxes, with high ceilings, quaint moldings, unlooked-for recesses and heavy wcoden mantel-pieces, covered with carvinjrs of angels' heads and bunches of grapes. His law library takes up nearly three sides of the rear room. He has been gathering it book by book for years and years until it is one of the best collections in the State. Over the doorway hangs a rusty sword that the Attorney General's grandfather received from the hands of the great Napoleon when he followed the Little Corporal to Moscow and back. His library of general literature occupies another room. It contains everything probably that our grandfathers might, could, would, or should have read. The Attorney General's knowledge of tbe polite literature of the days of knee-breeches and frills is extraordinary, and it is to that fact that much of the reputation as a literary man that he has with some people is due. Before he was appointed Attorney General his own were trie only offices in his houBe. After he had gone into the Cabinet, however, and removed to Washington, he rented out nearly all of the rooms. It requires a good deal of skill now for him to stow away his household with its retinue of servants whenever he is in town. His valet used to sleep on a bed nicely arranged over the tub in the bath-room, so as to be within call of his master. The valet came home reprehensibly late one night.the bed tumbled down, and, striking tbe spigt, the befuddled servant was almost drowned before he was pulled out of tbe tub. Since that time the valet sleeps over a barber-shop round the corner, and when the Attorney General desires his services he hangs a silk union-jack out of the rear window of his sleeping chamber as a signal. Mrs. Brewster has very little love for the musty antique, and has for years been urging her husband to move to a more fashionable part of the city. Her desires apparently are about to prevail, and when Mr. Brewster leaves the Cabinet he will, if he shall not have caught on to some other office meanwhile, take a residence nar George W. Childs' marble town house in the West End. Between Damascus and Jerusalem is said to be a tribe of about 5,000 Israelites, who have probably been there since the beginnipg of tne Christian era. They have neither city nor town, but live in tents, and speak the Hebrew language among themselves, but use the Arabian with strangers. They have remained, like the primitive races, exclusively tillers of tbe soil and warriors. They go armed from head to foot. Ben Goods are Put Up to Smallest Parcels. Tbe old proverb is certainly true in the caee of Dr. I'ierce's "Pleasant Purgative Pellts," which are little, sugar-wrapped parcels, Siaicely larger than mustard seeds, containing as much cathartic power as is done np in the biggest, most repulsive-looking pill. Unlike the big pills, however, they are mild and pleasant in their operation do not produce griping pains, nor render tbe bowels costive after using. A French critic has succeeded more than any American or Loglishuian in giving tho definition of flirting. "Jt is." he says "to let a jonng man understand that be has bf en remarked and distinguished, to draw him on by a few pleasant smiles and pretty little wajB to quit his reserve, and push his gallantry almost to tbe point of a declaration of love." This little game would be very dangerous with a young Frenchman; it is of no consequence with a'young Englishman, for with him flirting means attention paid to a woman without intentions.
