PThe bolls cast by the famous molder, Van ,e,n*Vh°yn’ of Louvain, arc said to have lost all the sweetness tt ,oy had a hundred years ago.] Sadly ho shook his frosted head. Listening and leaning on his cane: e Nay~I am like the bells,” he said, k‘ Cast by the molder of Louvain. Often you ve read of their mystic powers, Floatingo‘er Flanders* duli lag»>ons; How they would hold the lazy hours Meshed in a net of golden tunes. ' u l^ever such bells as those were heard. Echoing over the sluggish tid;*; Now like a storm-crash—now like a bird. Flinging their carillons far and wide. There in Louvain they swing to-day, « Up in the turrets where long they've swung; But the rare cunning of yore, they say. Somehow has dropped from the brazen tongue. Dyer them sh'n >s the same pale sky, ; 1'ider them stretch the same lagoons; -Out frdm the belfries, bird-like tly. As from a nest, uhe same swedt tunes; Eger the same—and yet we know None are entranced these later times, Jtist as the listeners long ago Were, with the wonder of their chimes. Something elusive as viewless air. Something wo cannot understand.

THE DUEL ABOUT MISS IMOGENE. 'Miss Imogene De Forest was eighteen years old, a * beauty and a belle. Girls of all kinds, if they live, can be eighteen years old; but tc* be a beauty and ‘a belle needs a concurrence of favorable circumstances. In Miss Imogene these favorable circumstances were of a decided order. She hail a lovely face, a graceful figure, and she was the only child of .the lion. Lysander De Forest, an exGovernor, an ex-Senator, and a probable foreign minister. Besides, she had a very respectable private fortune, though young Jefferson Duval and Captain Milton Fontaine bothaverred that was the very least point in heir charms, andnot worthy to be named with her dark eyes and her bewitching smile. Girls of eighteen are not aYl wise, anil perhaps Miss Imogene believed this; at any rate she looted as if she believed it; and both Duval and Fontaine had many hours in which they certainly firmly believed it. When wandering in the moonlight under the orange-trees, or when'whirling through the w altz in some splendid feast, they Were both quite certain that nothing but Miss Inn gene' s personal loveliness; entered into their dreams concerning, her. Hitherto, though both pretenders to Imogene’s favor, they had preserved the semblance of friendship. Duval rather wished to do so-; it gave him an honorable opportunity of watching his rival’s chances; and Fontaine was of that order of men who like a little opposition. He intended at some favorable opportunity to make a coup (Petal and at once and forever put poor Duval out of the painful uncertainties of love. For somehow he regarded his own success as certain, and if the confident heart wins the fair lady, and the faint one loses her, he had some reason for his blissful security. . One loyely evening in the charming May—for May is charming in Centra! Texas—Imogene was slowly riding across a prairie that was one billowy sea of grass and flowers. Duval was by her side, reciting Byron in a very touching manner. Imogene had casually noticed that two horsemen had emerged from a little wood, and were slowly fat, lowing them; and she had also noticed that they had passed, at rather closer quarters than she liked, a herd of cattle feeding. Whether the magnificent bull \ leading them w as irritated by Duval’s floating scarlet necktie; or by the poetry, or by motives beyond human comprehension, is uncertain, but his anger was positive enough. Bellowing and tearing up the ground, he came furiously after the lovers. Poetry and sentiment collapsed, and the first law of nature promptly asserted itself.

lioth put their horses to their utmost i speed, but the prospect was not cheering. In fact, the question was this: Would the bull or the horses have the best of it in a race over two miles of open prairie? * ’ “ ft® is gaining on us, Duval, and I am tinning sick and faint. Oh, what shall I dor’ . “ Let us separate. He cannot follow both, and perhaps he will select me.” j Suddenly the shouts of the men behind attracted their attention. Imogene glanced fearfully around. The two horsemen- she had noticed were coming on at a thundering pace; and before she could cheek or turn her horse, one of them had risen in his ,/stirrups, and thrown a lasso aroitnd the —furious animal.' It was now evident that Governor De Forest was one of these horsemen; the other, who still held the rope, was quite unknown both to Duval and linogene. The Governor quickly dispatched the bull with his rifje, and then, as the herd here evidently growing uneasy, the Whole party rode rapidly home. Thanks and introductions were practically delayed, although the stranger knew that no thanks and no introduction would ever be more satisfactory to him than the glance and smile he had received in the swiftest moment from Tmsigene. Duval was very unhappy. Tie wondered if he had behaved in a cowardly manner. The whole affair had been so sudden and rapid he could neither analyze his feelings nor his actions. Imogene had only said that she “ quite excused him.” Had there been anythin"' to excuse? And then this stranger! He was quite as inexplicable. Governor De Forest had simply introduced him as “Mr. John Wiuthrop.” He was a little man, with a plain, positive face. His skin was tanned, his hair light, and his eyes of that steely blue which always anUOVS weak and incapable persons. Mr.H^inthrop made very light of the adventure, and gave all the credit of the rescue to the Governor, except perhaps for one moment, in which Imogene and he onoe more changed eyes. The news soon spread th rough the little town, and Fontaine was very indignant at fate. ‘•If only he had been with Miss Imogene! Managing wild cattle was a trifle to him. He woitild rather have enjoyed such an encounter than otherwise. He had half a dozen plans always ready for suoh emergencies,” etc. And really he did look so gallant and so handsome that most girls would have been willinoto face a herd of wild buffaloes under hie protection.

Duval felt Fontaine’8 bravado a personal slight, but he did not wish Imogene tho subject of a quarrel, and after a rathcr.unsatisfactory visit the two men wbnt home together. However, neit morning Captain Fontaine had the most graceful little note from Miss Imogene, asking him to bring his guitar and assist her in entertaining a few guests that evening. Duval had also one, equally flattering; for it touchingly. referred to their mutual danger and escape, and hoped he would come prepared to finish the exquisite poem winch had been so terribly interrnpted. The evening' was a remarkable one in mairy respects. Scarcely ever had the ex-Govemor’s mansion been so profusely decorated aid so brilliantly illuminated, and to the magnificent feast prepared all the principal magnates of the neighborhood had been invited.

Imogene bad never looked so bewilderingly unreal and poe tic. Her oval face, with its creamy col or and soft dark eyes, was crowned with, great waves of black hair and snowy flowers, and l*er long drapery of some soft silky tissue seemed to shimmer and glance like a fairy robe, as with winning smiles and gracious, graceful manners she flitted to and fro among the guesls. John Winthrop was among them. He did not dance, and he did not sing, and he smiled queerly at the very idea of his reciting poetry; consequently neither Duval nor Fontaine felt uneasy about his influence. Indeed, he seemed only to be able to converse on two subjects— property and politics. Still, he had one great advantage—he staid in the same house with Imogene, and could see her in' many favorable moments forbidden to less happy mortals. But Duval, who watched him closely, was soon convinced he was indifferent to this immense favor ; for Duval had found opportunities of putting very dever leading questions to Mr! Winthrop, and that gentleman had answered them with the greatest candor. Indeed; he was so much more polite and sympathetic than he expected that Duval, who really longed for a eonfidant, poured out his whole soul to him, and asked John candidly what was his opinion about his own and Fontaine’s chances. Did he really t hink that Fontaine would win Imogene ? John said he knew very little of women, but he thought Fontaine would not win Miss Imogene. . It is a comfort to have a ■ confidant, and Duval brightened so much under the process of pouring out his hopes to John that Fontaine notioed the change, and began to fear that his rival had comfort and encouragement of which he did nr»t, L’nmv

I He was pondering1 this q nestfoh very i gloomily one night when he met John Winthrop. How it happened he nevei could tell, but in five minutes the two men were talking of Imogene, and Fontaine had told John all his hopes and fears with regard to her. John listened with interest, and even encouraged the conversation, though he tried to moderate Fontaine’s complaints of Duval. “ For,” said he, “it is only right to tell you that I am also Duval’s confidant. I must say the affair is full of •interest to me, and I can partly understand how it’ fills and colors all the hours of your two lives. For me, things are different. If I should fall in Iovo,“l could not afford to Jose| either an hour’s time or an hour’s sleep about any woman.” In this way matters went on for some weeks. Jbhn was the known, confidant of both men, a post not half as difficult as it appears at first sight. For Fontaine often wanted to say something about Duval he did not care to say to Duval’s face. He therefore made the remark to John, hoping 'that he would be his mouth-pieee; and it is needles^ to say that Duval followed the same plan. John smiled, and smoked, and listened, and kept very quiet.--a thing easy enough to do, for both layers only'cared to* hear themselves complain. That they kept up so Jong ah qipearanee of friendship was entirely due to John’s wise reticence, and his charitable rendering of such scraps of conversation as he felt obliged to report. But smouldering fire cannot always be controlled, ami one night, when Imogene had been very haughty and cross to both Duval and Fontaine, they unfortunately met On the .piazza of their hotel. Duval was despondent and prostrate, Fontaine angry and scornful, and Duval’s air unconsciously irritated him. “ How ill-tempered Miss Imogene was to-night!’’ he said, fretfully, flinging his half-smoked cigar into the street “Miss Imogene is never i ll-ternpered,h answered Duval, warmly, •“ I will not allow you to say such a thing.” “ Yon won’t allow me? Understand I shall say what I choose about that lady- I do not recognize pour right to defend her.” “ Nor I yours to blame her.” “ Perhaps I have more right than you know of.” “That is a lying insinuation; you ar no gentleman to make it.” “ Do you dare to say it Is a lie?” “Yes, I don’t mind saying it is a soli lie.” “ You know the consequences of tha speech, I suppose?” “ I know them very well. 1 am no afraid of you.” “ Duval! Duval! I’ll—” “Oh, keep ciool, Fontaine! Send your second to me at midnight. If your valor h»l# till morning, I’llgive you a chance to prove it.” “Very well, sir. Understand this goes to the bitter end. I will recei ve no apology—not the most abject one.” “ No apology will be offered von.” Then Duval flung his baton Els head, untied his horse, and rode rapidly up the street. He wont, in fact, to John Winthrop to ask him to make the proper arrangements for a meeting between Fontaine and himself the next day. After a little persuasion, John agreed to do so; but ere Duval left, Fontaine tapped smartly at John’s door, and made the same request. The twoopponents bowed to each other, but left all speech to John, who, in truth, seemed, admirably adapted for the part he found himself almost obliged to play. He tried firstt to effect a reconciliation, but finding that impossible, made the strange proposition that he should act as second for both. “Gentlemen,” he said, with a winning courtesy, “you are both equally my friends, and I am honestly disposed to do equal justice to each. Fix*on some place and hour, and I will bring my friend Dr. Allen, and see everything as ple asantly and honorably settled as possible.” Both Duval and Fontaine* bowed to this proposal. Perhaps neither of them was in heart as blood-thirsty as he pretended, and a peaceably inclined second has a great deal in his power. So a little wood about two miles out of town was fixed upon, and sunset (he following day was the fated hour. John had insisted on this delay, partly he said, because he still hoped the principals might change their minds, and partly because it would allay any suspicion which their quarrel and late visit to himself mi«ht arouse.

So both Duval and Fontaine were at thejr usual desks in the morning, and their evening horseback ride was so common and natural that; no one attached any unusual meaning to it. Both men arrived at the designated spot by different roads, bu t within two minutes of each other. Duval bowed, leaned against a tree and smoked what might be his last cigar. Fontaine paced nervously up and down, waiting with great impatience John’s arrival with the appointed weapons, which both men had intrusted to him. The sunset. The little wood got darker and darker—so dark at last that Duval’s cigar made a distinct glow. Still, John did not come. Neither liked to make the. first remark, yet it was evident that for some cause or other their wounded honor would have to endure another twelve hours’ wrong. Yet Duval was just lighting another cigar, when a little negro boy came running through the wood. “ Done found you at last, Mas'r Jeff. Thought you’d done shooted each other for sure. I’s been a-lookiri’ nil rouitd yar since sundown.” " What have you come here forP” “Mass’rJohn Winthrop send dese two letters—for sure he did, now.” “Where is he?” “Done gone.” “Fontaine,” said Duval, “will you have a match to read youis by ?” I “ Thank you, Duval, I will,”

So by the light ot a succession of lucifers bolh gentlemen read the following words: “ My fricn l, I am opposed to da li on principle; so is my dear bride, wh > hopes you will both remember'her too kindly to s(a:n her name with your bl «i Your little foolish quarrel hurried our arrangements, which had been made for a m mth later. You will see now the wisdom of the ail vice I have always given you both. John Wikthkop.” There was a moment’s dead silence, then Dural said: “ Fontaine, we have no quarrel now; and if we have, we have no weapons. Suppose we go back to the hotel and have supper?''—Harper's Weekly. The Tea-Firing Process. A description of the process of curing or firing the tea will give your readers au idea of the intense neat these womeu work in, and that for about the sum of eleven cents of American money a day, and a full day at that. These establishments are fitted up with double rows of iron or copper kettles, or rather deep conical pans, placed overfurnaces which are kept fired up to the limit of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, Each pan has its attendant operative, who bends to her labor as a woman at the washtub, only she bends more, to stir the tea which is being fired. A quantity of leaves, say five pounds, are placed in the pan and moved rapidly with the hand of the operative for about twenty minutes. Then a little soapstone, finely pulverized, is sprinkled over the leav es, and for twenty minutes more the rapid movement of agitating and stirring them is continued. Then more pub verized soapstone or gypsum and tamarak bark is sprinkled upon the mass, the stirring process again continued for twenty minutes longer and the firing process is ended. That the tea may have a finer polish than it has received during this stirring, it is ,put into a cold iron or copper pan a nd constantly rubbed against its sides for another hour; then it is the tea of commerce, and ready for packing into boxes as soon as it has passed over a series of screens or sories of different sieves, that all the dust and stems and refuse may be extracted from it. This process of firing causes a loss of weight of about ten to twelve per cent. The work must be done over fires at. a temperature of 212 degrees. Every thirty minutes the gangs are changed, giving the laboters an opportunity to emerge from the building into the yard attached thereto for the pitrpose of bathing. It is like going into a Bedlam to visit one of these establishments. Such a constant babble and clamor of the human voice, pitched to all notes, is seldom heard elsewhere; the chattering and laughing can be heard outside the premises, sounding like the roar of traffic in a great cityT and the aroma of tea is borne upon the air, so you can never be mistaken about the location of a tea-firing godown. The United states consumes very nearly the entire surplus produet of Japan" tea. The total value of tea exported from Japan last year was $7,959,910.82. divided as follows: United States, $7,750,506.73; England, $39,179.16; France, $8; other countries, $170,216.99, and this while England sends of her products to Japan $18,044,538.81 worth, and the United States only $1,741,833.32 worth. The bulk of the tea is shipped from Yokohama and Kube.—Yokohama Cor. San Franoisco Chroniole.

An Anecdote of Auerbach. The following anecdote of Berthold Auerbach, the deceased novelist, has, we believd, never before appeared in print. In 1845, he wooed, and afterward won, the daughter of M. Sehreiber, a great lottery-ticket broker in Breslau, the capital of Silesia. Auerbach had till then never tempted the wheel of fortune. In fact he had always had conscientious scruples concerning that mode of increasing one’s wealth. Prevailed upon by his prospective father-in-law, however, he concluded to “try his luck.” Being much exercised by the unwonted idea, it constantly filled his mind, and one night he hail a dream in which he clearly saw the figures 17,586. That was evidently the finger of fate. He arose next morning, told Selireiber of his dream, and said, he would play that number and pone other. Selireiber looked over his vast stock of tickets, but was unable to find the one in question. He thereupon wrote to the chief bureau at Berlin, and after a time received an answer to the effeet that the ticket requested was an heirloom in the family of a large property-owner in Ponimerania, had been played by those parties for over sixty years" and, although not as yet drawn, they refused to part with it. The agent, however, took the liberty of forwarding two half-tickets, the one 17,585, the other 17,587. Selireiber informed Auerbach of the offer and insisted 'that he should avail himself of it. It was unlucky, he said, not to take numbers thus sent. Auerbach refused to accede to the proposal, however, and as he coukl not have the ticket he wanted determined upon making his own selection. From a large pack he drew number one. Now It has always been supposed that the King of Prussia played from one to thirty-three. Fortune was, therefore, apparently intent upon pursuing the neophyte. When the drawing took place number one did not make its appearance, but 17,585 came out with the capital prize. Auerbach had thus had the sum of 150,000 Prussian dollars virtually in his possession, and had turned them out of doors. Many years afterward, in 1878, the writer of this notice had the honor of dining with the poet He informed him of this incident, and assured him that never afterward had he permitted himself to be led into temptation.—SI. Louis Olobe-Democrai.

Schools of the Circns. When, at the beginning of an exhibition season, after passing the manager’s inspection, an athlete of any kind gets into the ring, he represents a vast amount of hard and thoughtful labor and instruction. He lias been in “winter quarters,” of some kind, but he has also .been at “school,” and the younger he is, the more he has had to endure from exacting and often severe teachers. The larger shows and more enterprising showmen often set up “schools” of their own, connected, it may be, with the establishments wherein they keep and train their quadruped performers. In every such school of the circus there is a good deal of machinery, as well as an experienced professor of the art of doing impossible things. There are kept on hand every kind of gymnastic apparatus for the development of activity and muscular strength. These latter vary, of course, with the nature of the lessons the pupil is learning, and at last he is oopfrouted with the very things he is to employ in the presence of watching crowds. By the pitiless severity meted out to all needless failures made in the presence of his exacting trainer, the “school master,” lie is made to understand at an early day that ho must never make a failure in the presence of paying spectators. The trainer represents the keen-eyed public, and also the demands of his employer, the manager, and he must give a good account of the time and money expended upon the school. If any boy should be seized with a “fever” to distinguish himself in the “ ring,” nothing would be so likely to cure him as a week or so under a careful and faithful teacherin a winter school for the circus. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, the scholar would forever afterward be contented to remain outside the rope circle.—W Q. Stoddard, in St. Nieholat.

Strawberries in Whiter. Ever since the middle of January the shop windows of dealers in tropical and hothouse fruits have bloomed with strawberries of fine size and appearance. A reporter of the Post who had some curiositjr as to who buys these winter strawberries, what quantities of them are sold, and at what prices, ventured to ask son^.o questions of one of the most promiuent dealers in t he business, and elicited the following information. Hot-house strawberries hare been sold in this city for many years, but the business never attained any importance, owing to the uncertainty of the crop and the enormous price at which they were valued. This year the hot-house strawberries sold in December and the first days of January at seven dollars a quart, and it is no unusual thing for eight or nine dollars to be paid. The supply and the demand are extremely limited, however, not more than a few quarts a week being disposed of. Early in January begins the Florida trade, which sprang up in 1877 and has been srradually increasing. Last year one firm, which does most of the wholesale business of this kind, brought 40,000 quarts of strawberries to this city. The berries are grown in the open air all along the St. John’s River, and are sent when nearly ripe to Jacksonville, where they are packed in huge refrigerators on wheels with alternate compartments for ice and strawberries. The strawberries are in transit four days, and the ice in the refrigerators has to be renewed three times during the journey. A special messenger travels with each carload of fruit in order to insure great care in the handling and the replenishing of ice, and the truit is in very fair condition when it arrives here.' The first berries which arrived in January were sold wholesale at $3 a quart. The price begins declining as they arrive in greater quantities, until by the last of February it is twenty-five cents jo $1 a quart at wholesale and about $1.25 at retail. Two invoices of Florida strawberries arrive every week. Last; Saturday 2,500 quarts arrived in 'excellent condition and found a ready sale at an average price of $1 a quart, wholesale. By the beginning of April the price falls to thirty or forty cents a quart, at which price it is no longer a profitable business.—N. Y. Evening Post. New Wool Goods. * The fancy in the newest wool goods is to have them plumetis, that is, to appear to be hand-embroidered, though the polka dots, moons, stars, blocks and paralellograras strewn upon them without slant are brocaded by machine, and the selvedges for trimming is all done by machinery. These figures are done on nuns’ veiling and in contrasting colors, such as red on blue, sky blue on dark blue, salmon on bronze, white oh blue, salmon on navy blue and white on white. There are also Cheviots jthpnetis,tho grounds being of grave colors with gay figures. The varieties of nuns’ veiling are great; thus there arc brocaded nuns’ cloth of new colprs; embroidered nuns’ veiling in lichen , beige, electric blue and brown shades, with openwork on both edges of different widths for trimming; mins’ veiling with lacelike designs all over it, and another very elegant kind with velvet polka dots strewn upon it; a new imitation of Venitian lace forms the pretty designs of embroidery on the selvedges of black and colored veiling, while brocaded satin figures are entirely confined to blaek veiling; great raised roses with plush-like pile are seen on other varieties, and old-fashioned Breton laces are copied in white embroiderv on this favorite wool goods. The Cheviots of plain grounds, or with dashes or checks, are * mixed colors, illuminations, and mustard yellows strewn with Cheyenne pepper red. Twills of plain colors are largely imported, and many of these have embroidered selvedges. The new Melbourne cloths are plain surfaces like smooth bunting, and there are many buntings, albatros fabrics and Virginie cloths that arc offered under the popular name of nuns’ veiling—a name which really belongs to a transparent fine wool fabric known by its inch-wide selvedges. Satin nolei.l is a wool goods with brilliant satin-like luster. New dp beges are shown in the illuminated mixtures that are now liked in Cheviots, and in plain colors also, such as lichen green, metallic blues, brown, etc.—Harper's Bazar.
