This photograph? Well, I hardly know how to answer you. I do not know her name. I only saw Iiur oncu in nty life, then ouly for a little time, and the elkaaousare I shall never see hertigahu Strange that a woman, a perfect granger, should give me her photograph? It does sound strange. How did I set !t? Thereon hangs a tale. I will tell you it. It points a moral, Li eharactenstic of a woman. and fttrnUhed me with a pleasant reniruisceuce of a. too lleeting visit to the Scottish Highlands. It was two years ago tho summer holidays. 1 liad spent them witli my wife's hrotliw, George Nettloford. We had put into' execution a long-chorihed scheme, and been up to the Highland. One day the sun was setting as wo reached I lie top of an ascent it liad cost us some pains to climb. Sitting on tlte baak by the roadside under the shadow of a mighty tree, wo doffed our hats, so that the gentle breeze might cool our heated brows. On a sudden we heard quite oJo8 to us loud cries asd shouts, as of some one in distress or danger. "What's that'" said I to G-gWge. " Sounds as though somewng was the matter with some one,' said he, getting up and looking over the hedge, lrose and joined him. " Why," exclaimed George, " there's a lad drowning in the pool." So it seemed! The bank on the other side of the hedge sank in a sharp descent winu thirty feet or more. A little to the left was a stream or piece of water of some sort. Generally it was quite narrow narrower than this room; you might have jumped across it but In one place it widened out into a tiny lake or poud, tolerably deep apparent ly; for somewhere about the center was alUtki bov trying hard to keep himself atloat, sin! making a terrible hullaballoo. Without a word wo got over the hedge and ran down tho bank. Calling to the youngster to keep still, I ran into the water to help him. It might have been deep enough to drown him, but it barely cmue up to my Shoulders; and when I had once ltold of him, it was easy enough to pull him out, and he was little damaged; for when 1 had got him out ho stood bolt upright on the bank, looking at me with large round eye's. "You're not drowned?" I said, smiling at his solemn expression. He ihook his head gravely without a word. He was a queer-looking child, quite a little one, scarcely mofe than ten vears old. So far, I had kept my hand upon life collar, thinking he might fall tltfwu, or fafnt, or something; but relieved of any such fears, I took it away. X sooner did I do so than, without a sign of any such intention, he was oft" like a dart, up the bank, through the hedge, and out of sight. "Well, said George, laughing, "there's gratitude for you." i "YeS,'r said I, a little nettled, "ho; might have said thank you." " Or told you how much further wc have to go," growled George. "I've got a daoking for my pains," I continued, thinking somewhat ruefully of nty kttlckerbooker suit a recent purchase. "That won't matter," quoth George, un.Hvuipathetieally; "you'M soon get dry" N. We climbed tip the Wnk, and coatintied our journey, talking and laughing over our wiysido "adventure. After a time we struck upon a charming country inn. shrined in a glorlous'swoet-smelf-ing frame of honeysuckle and red roses. We entered together. The very sight of the bar was enough to do oue good. Behind the couhter sat a female, looking quite tho lady, about thirty-llvo or so, hi widow's cap and weeds. Sho rose at our entrance. " We want two bedsj" I said, coming to the jKjint at once. " We can offer you none." she replied, civilly, but anything but warmlv; "wc are already overcrowded. Wo have no, accommodation of any sort to give -win.'' ' Then whero shall we lind another inn?" "The next inn is about" she paused "eight or ninn miles farther on." She might ns wull have said eight or nine hundred. Out wo staggered from that delicious bar into tho" gathering night. There wis a man, a "laborer of some sort,

standing in the bar; and as we went out, 1 noticed him lean over and whisper to tho hostess, As we went, however, wearily dragging our leg along, some one came running after us. Tt was a girl, apparently servant girl, young, pretty and neatly dressed. Sho seemed in n giyat llurrv.

"Please, sir," she said, stopping us, "I've brought a message. Mistress says you're to come back at once. Am! sho wished mo to say she is very sorry, urn. n uut uoi Know you." Know me! Of course not. How was she to, seeing she had never seen me before, nor 1 her? Tho ignorance was mutual. "Lot's go," said George, cutting further conversation short. When we reached the inn, the hostess bowed. " I am sorry, sir," sho said, in a stately way, " to have sent you away, hut I did not know vou." Did not know mo? What did sho mean by sho did not know me? Of course she did not know me. How was sho to? lint I had no time for reflection. Tho servant showed us into an inner roam, tho neatest, coxiest, prettiest little room I do boMcvo I ever saw. Goerge threw himself on tho sofa; while I nat on a chair, my feet apart, rav hands on my knees, staring into vacancy, feeling a little mystified. In a few minutes tho servant returned. "Please, will you stop this way, sir?" saiil sho to me. George was asleep on the sofa, and did not notico her entrance. I followed her up stairs; we were evidently among the bed rooms. Sho slopped at a door, and opening it showed mo in. It was a sleeping apart ment, quite small, but so neat, and clean and pretty, so unlike the usual thing you expect in hotels and inns, that "I looked on the servant in amaze. There were a suit of clothes laid out on the bed, black and seeming quite new, and a clean, white shirt hanging on a chair; a collar, necktie and socks on tho sent; and a pair of slippers on tho lloor. "Mistress," said my guide, with just enough of the Doric to be agreeable, "wishes you to change your clothes, or else von will get cold." " What," 1 inquired, tress' name?" 'is your mis"Mrs. Mae"something in three syllables, but what I could not catch, Sho then withdrew. Taking off my drenched fltit, I first had a thorough good wash, and then put on the clotlies provided. I then went down stairs aain, and found my Phillis waiting at the foot to guide me into the parlor, where I found George still sleeping. I woke him and told him of my luck. "Well," said he, "she's a pleasant sort of a landlady. She seems to have taken a fancy to you." " Don't talk nonsense," 1 retorted, thinking of Kate and my family of seven. " I hope," said he, "among her other kindnesses, sho won't forget to let us have some supper." " Tim words were hardly out of his mouth when there was a tap at the door, and in came Phillis. " Please sir," said that admirable young person, "mistress says ma 1 lay the table for supper?" "Give your mistress my compliments," replied George, with assumed dignity" Mr. NettTeford's compliments, and say with the greatest pleasure." Sho did not give her mistress his compliments, at least not then; but without a word or a smile laid it there mul then, covering it with a snow white table cloth, sod laying It in that charming air of home-liko comfort that pervaded everything. In the morning we overslept ourselves, and after breakfast begau seriously to consider the cost of our entertainment. We rang the bell, and in came tho landlady. We rose, as she entered, and bowed, which courtesy sho gracefully returned. "We shall be much obliged," I said, " if vou will let us have our bill." "Bill!" sho said, drawing herself upright. " Do yon wish to insult me, Insult her! "Insult you!" I said, " bjit surely this Is an inn?" " Yes," returned she, with something of wounded dignity; "this is an inn, but not to you whatefer." "Not to us!" I exclaimed, amazed; while Gooige, I fancy, began to take her for a lunatic. "Do you think," she hurst out, "I would take money from tho man who saved my child?" Saved her child! In an instant it Hashed across mo, tho youngster floundering in the pool, and how the young rogue had run away. "Was was that your son in tho pool?" I asked, beginning to under stand her. "Ay, it was Alec," she sdd, "my only .on mirofer." r" Uut," I asked, "how did you knowit was I who " "Donald Macncil" or some such name "told mo ho was nearby, and saw it all." 1 remembered tho laboring man m tho !, and how he had whispered, to her when we went out; he,l presumed, was Donald Macncil. Wetl, sho would not take a fartlring, ami wo could hardlv press her. She, such a strange sort of woman, cold and proud as a Roman mother; no wonder Jier son was sucn a queer young hwi. It nppearou sue nau mn onty iiimuu out of her own sitting-room, but out of her own bed-room, too, to make room for us. Where, sho slept. I have no Uhm. In thn bar. nossiblv. which, bv tho-bv. would not have been so bad - aftr all. Hoforo we went, wo asked her for her photograph, which sho gave us and there it is. It is not a bad like

new; but it hardly does her justice; It iloes not give you the proud Mt of her

features; and in a photograph you can not get the tun expression of the eyas. "Is that all?" "That'aall." " Where's the moral?" "The moral is. never neglect to do a good action when you can; you never know how soon you maybe repaid." Aim the characteristic of a woman?" "It seems to mo, sir. tin whole thing was characteristic was jt like a woman." JftilaikhMa I'oet. Thoohaw, the Inhuman King. King Tiikkuaw, of Uurmah. who is reported to have caused 700 men, women and children to be buried alive as a sacrilico for his restoration to liealth, is but twenty years old. Selected over ms eider brothers to rule, lie paid the ministers who had advanced him by imprisoning them. Instead of these advisers of his father, he surrounded himself with men, or boys of his own age aud tastes, and the palace became the scene of orgies conducted absolutely without restraint. An article lately published regarding him says: Another of Theebaw's acts, immediately after lus accession, was to secure himself against palace plots by the simple process of killing all his relatives. A better idea of what this means can be gained by considering that the gay old monarch hud fifty-three wives and 110 children, of whom thirty-seven wives and fiftynino children survived him. It is im possible to say how many of these brothers, sisters ahd stepmothers so to speak were killed, but etchtv is a fair compromise estimate. It must not ! be imagined that they were disposed of : with any sentimental tenderness. At first tho victims were led from their cells in twos and threes to shekho to the Kinsr; then their heads were tied to ; their respective pairs of ankles, and ' blows with a heavy club on the backs of j their necks ended their misery. Uut ' this soon proved too mild a spectacle, for tho fiendish malignity of Theebaw. One of his elder brotti-1 ers professed utter scorn for what could be done to him, and, was Hogged j to death. Another, who had looked , upon foreigners as the dirt beneath his feet, ami as utterly unworthy to orawl , between heaven ana earth, was taunted and driven to madness before receiving i a half-fatal blow, and his writhing body 1 was then thrown into the gigantic trench dug to receive the dead. A former Governor of Rangoon had his ; nose and month filled with runpowdcr, ' a match was applied, and ho was also llung into the treacn to i atmed by ; me HeceliBjr bodies. k)m youai; girl of sixteen was pitched into tho same heaving grave alter Having suffered every outrage which could be devised by eight soldiers of the guard. The maisocre was carried on in this leisurely fashion until Theebaw and the 0x001111011018 wearied ef the sjwru then the women woro simply 1 battered over the head, and thechildrcD were swune arainst the palace walls. I At last the victims were all killed, and 1 the revolting spectacle Was over, but Theebaw's plan--one not unusual in Burmah was not successful, for the ; reason that at least threcf his blood escaped, and one of thcm"1vill probably succeed him. The area of Rurmah (a country in the southeast of Asia, between India and China, and south of Thibet) is 192,000 square miles, and its population is 3,o00JLKX). ilie revenue of the King is jDSUO.000, with perquisites cnousrh to make out the even million. "Chicago Inter-Ocean. m m Coksulau reports from Salonica, Turkey, declare that, with tho exception of the towns and the immediate vicinity, the country is in the hands of tho bngands. Thirteen distinct bands are enumerated, containing in all about 150 men of various creeds and nationalities Greeks, Lutzo-Wallachs, Bulgarians, Albanians and Turkish deserters. At a certain time some of the bands received subsidies from Athens, and professed to be the representatives of Hellenic aspiration, but of late they have divested themselves of this semi-political character, and play the part of simle brigands, levying blackmail from lussulmans and "Christians indiscrim inately.

liHslMeftH SHceaw. Amono the rare bit of wordly wisdom uttered by Major Kastburn, one of the fuiiuur magnates of State street, whose familiar face and form as he stood at his ollioe door at noonday will be recalled by many, none may be more profitably considered at the present lime than his comment on making haste to be rich. " I've stood here on State street," said he, "for forty years, and I have seen men accumulate fortunes by speculation, and I've seen those fortunes disappear I have seen men go up In worldly wealth, and go down, and I've always noticed that those persons who were content with slow gaitw and six percent, interest came out ahead in the long run." The greatest of proverbial philosophers has also said. " A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he that maketh haste to bo nob shall not bo innocent;" and again, "Ho that hasteth to bo rich hath an evil eye, and cousidoreth not that poverty shall come 'upon him." He hastens best who hastens slowly; not lazily, for there must bo work, backed by energy, perseverance, intelligent self-denial and thorough business habits. Believers in business impossibilities are not as numerous as formerly. For years we seemed to bo living in tho atmosphere of venture and great undertakings, and our whole industry was tinged with tho unearthly light, but of late years wo have been suilering from a collapse of these groat hollow ideas, and there is hope for a return of the staple prosperity of earlier times. Tho past six years of depression has solidified till branehes of business. Prudence and economy is now tho motto of the successful merchant. The misfortunes of tho past did not come for naught. It is a delusion to suppose that success is attained by any kind of patent process. Books are sometimes advertised with such taking titles as "Tho Secret of Success," "The Road to Wealth," etc., but they make tho path of success no plainer or easier for those who are looking for a short road to wealth, power, honor and inlluence. These come only of years of intelligent labor and devotion to business, prudence, economy, honest dealing, courage and prcsevcrancc. He that would have true and lasting success must deservo it. A fortune won by blunder or accident, by short cuts, by strategy, or close bargains, is not success, and is likely to leave its possessor as quickly as it came. Success must bo conquered in a legitimate way. The man who enters business only for plunder and gain, with no thought of his reputation or character, is not a good business man, and is never regarded by his fellows as a successful man. Tho truth is that real succOs does not mean wealth, social position 01" pnltttol honuro alOllC. To these must be added honesty, a heartfelt consideration for others, civility, promptitude of thought and action, intelligence, sobriety and' every manly virtue. The truly successful business man is one who is complete in everything that belongs to his calling. He has a thorough Knowledge of what has been done in his business, and applies this knowledge with untiring diligence to the undertakings before him. Ho watches

and studies the markets, knowing how much is produced of the commodity In which he deals and the amount consumed; he is prompt in decision and execution, truthful In word and conduct, and keeps his credit unimpaired. In all that he does he commands the respect and confidence of all with whom he deals, and maintains a high and noble character before tlo world, which is beyond all price. Tho principal of the "survival of the fittest" is nowhere more applicable than in business matters. The unworthy and incapable are sure in the long run to sink to their proper level. American Manufacturer ana Exjmlcr. , m Tke Banker's lhtaghter A Pennsylvania Levc Stery. Kate Boas is a banker's daughter. Nature gave her good looks, and her father's million enabled her to add such accomplishments and adornments as made her one of the foremost young women in the mining districts of Pennsylvania. Sho was modest and quiet, did not make a disnlav of fine dress, and in no way seemed to bo spoiled by wealth and flattery. It was thought that sho mistrusted tho sincerity of her admirers, and was fearful of fortune hunters, for she avoided association with gentlemen as far as she could politely. The fact is now public that she never gave up the love of tho sweetheart of her school days, wlicn she was a comparatively poor girl, and ho was too heedlessly boyish to couple love and money in his calculations. Herehoice, however, was not that of her father's, and she obediently married a man whom she did not love. That was seven years ago. Now she Is in an asylum for the insane, and her husband sued for a divorce aud obtained it yesterday. It is in tho testimony in this suit that the extraordinary story Is told. Kate Beas went home from school with her heart pledged to her lover; but she soon found that hor father was of a different mind. A. F. Boas had grown enormously In wealth, while the voting man's father, a contractor, had been unfortunate. Mr. Boas forbade her to countenance tho suit of a poor man's son, and sho was obedient, though she vas revengefully repellant to other suitor's. Sho spent Iter winters here in Heading at her homo, and her summers at her father's countryiiouso at Wormelsdorf, twenty miles distant. The young heiress became almost a recluse, but sho did not lot anybody know tho reason, In everything else her father gave her the utmost freedom; but in the matter of a husband lro not only

denied her the man of hr liking, but finally c1k one for hor. Thte was Dr. Heaver, who lived elose by the Boas residence at Wormelsdorf, and belonged to a wealthy family. Kate married Dr. Beaver, lie was in all respect worthy of her. There was a grand wedding aud an extended bridaftour. The husband was suceessful in his profession, the wife became a leader. In fashionable society, and a daughter was born. Dr. Beaver exoitodly entered the office of tho prosecuting attorney of this county, William M. Goodman, oae day, aud asked for help to expose and punish a faithless wife. He believed that Kute had a lover other than himself, and wanted the means of learning the truth. Detectives were placed at his service, and It was not long, before lie was prepared to plainly accuse his wife. He hid a witness in his office, and then sent for her. She came without knowing what she was to hoar, and the blunt accusation of having held clandestine meetings with her lover was like a blow in the face. . " Whoever says that lies," she indignantly replied. " Did you never write to him?" he asked. " Never since I left school." " Have you not written to him within three or four weeks?" "No." Then he put before her the proof of her falsity -a letter which she had sent by a housemaid to tho lowr, but which the detectives had intercepted. Ia it she said: "Who could i magi Be tkat such a drama was being on acted here in real life?", The doctor said that they would have to separate. She wept, ami bogged of him not to drive her out. " Let me remain as your housekeeper," sho cried, "if not as your wife." Her prayer for forgiveness was in varn. Her husband covertly ascertained that the witness had heard all she had said, and thon dismissed her. He permitted her to stay in the house, but no longer as hjs wife. She would not go to her father for comfort, for he already had, through failure in business, as much trouble as he could bear, and she dared not see or send to her lover. She was informed that he husband had begun proceedings for divorce. She made no defense, and said that sho would confess to her father. The aged and broken-aowa man went to her, responsive to a message, and heard from her own lips hew wretchedly tho wedlock of his planning had turned out. Tho testimony given before the referee, Simon P. 'OTReilly, was eeavincing enough; but It.hamljr'dHrtr'' t tiio level of ordinary divorce proceedings. However, the professional spies swore that Kate and her lover met frequently; but her owm servants described his visit to the house in her husband's absence. A rear gate had been fixed so that he could open it from tho outside; certain signals had been agreed on to indicate danger and safety, notes had been sent to and fro frequently, and ltc had all but lived in the house while the doctor

was away on a fishing excursion. One witness described tke wife as slipping out from the presence of her husband in the parlor, lifting her silk train as she tripped over tho dew of the gardes grass, and meeting her lover for a sentimental exchange of words in the shadow of abaokfonce. Another told of her jealousy on hearing a rumor that ho was paying court to a girl; and it seems that it was her dread of his mar rying anybody else, ratbir than any purpose or idea of being untrue to her own vows, that made her cling to him. She always spoke most res)ectfully of her husband, and praised him for his kindness and generosity. She once tohl the story of hor sohoolday romance to a friend as an occurrence long past, but addod, impulsive ly, "I love him to this day." A passage in one of her letters to him, however, indicates that she had rejected a proposal to elope. "May God bless and reward you for your devotion," she wrote, "for I never can," and the last four words were underscored. Tho lawsuit, ended yesterday in Dr. Boaver securing tho divorce, made tho matter known to everybody. Kate kept herself out of sight, as though crushed by shame. But sho could not hide from herself, and, to deaden her feeling, she took to drugging herself with opium. Her reason was soon destroyed, and she was taken to the Danville Insane Asylum. Reading Fa.)

Tho Princess Koket was questioned by a number of people during their stay in Memphis. She proved to be very intelligent and understood the way of mankind and the world generally; could tell a fortune in entertaining style, on short order, and for a single trade-dollar, and she said sho always managed to captivate the men. in m 11 " 11 11 A man must havo groat solf-control to do what Is right, but ho can do what is wrong by just letting himself alone.
