A big’ toy-maker in London received some time back an order from the late czar of Russia. It is common talk that this homely man was the biggest of all the children who annually gather under th‘e family roof at Fredensborg. Few people know, .however, how strong was his love for a plaything. He had in his collection some of the prettiest models of ironclads imaginable. One of them cost over a thousand pounds. There is another in solid silver, and a - superb wooden model of full-rigged ship which would be a dream of delight to the dullest boy. His last purchase was the model of an Atlantic steamer. It is a great piece of work, the ship beaing a yard long and perfect in all details. The precise cost of this model was eleven hundred pounds. Of all the toys at Windsor Castle— and there are many—it is said that the queen is most fond of a beautiful working model pf the heavens. This ingenius piece of mechanism shows the whole of onr system, with the celestial poles and the sun. There is a tiny model of the moon, which revolves about the earth; and all the planets, with their satellites, are properly represented. For a study of astronomy and for a right understanding of the i celestial globe, there could be nothing | finer than this model. It shows j earth turning upon its own axfcrtfnd | moving round the snn. It gives .’a per- ! feet idea of the relative positions of I the primary planets, antf*it is worked * by a clockwork arrangement which is the perfection of ingenuity. ;

The date of lork is yet boy is n enough to collect stamps, and has perhaps the finest collection of any amateur in the kingdom. He has recently spent some hundreds of pounds iadding to this, but it is not his only weakness. He has also developed a great taste for sculling about in a toy boat On the lake by the cottage at Sandringham. In Munich they show you noSv with an especial pride the lake upon which the late king of Bavaria used to be drawn about in a boat towed by swans. Dressed cap-a-pie as Lohengrin, this— in some ways—remarkable man spent many hours - of the day aping the knights of the swan; and really deluded himself into the belief that he was. a person of heroic virtue. When this vagary wearied him, and the winter days were long and dull, he would get him into the country- and there flash through the hills in a sledge of gold, all lit up with electric lamps; and so curiously fashioned that the peasants who saw it believed that a heavenly apparation had been vouchsafed to them. This impression the madman loved to magnify, choosing always the hour of midnight for this exercise, and rarely returning before three oar four o’clock in the morning. In Vienna there is jat this moment a minister, standing high in the confidence of the Kaiser Francis Joseph, who devotes the whole of his spare time to a room full of toy theaters. Many of these were made in London and especially sent over for this eccentric old fellow, who has enough mimic stages to supply an, orphanagei It is said that whether a new piece is produced at any of the theaters in the city the minister immediately puts it on one of his little stages, and has a set of characters cut out of paper with which ) to play it. He works the \yhole thing himself, and being an admirable mimic, he is the source pf large amusement to his friends, who know that on every other point he is one of the sanest men in the empire. The German emperor’s toys are almost as numerous as his uniforms. He , possesses a beautiful working model oi a railway, with engine, cars, points, signals and stations. This he works ostensibly for the amusement of his children, in reality for Jiis own amusement. He has also purchased for his nursery one of the finest collections oi toy soldiers in the world. So well are his sons supplied with tin troops, with cannon, artillery, ammunition wagons, tents and fortresses, that the whole

■floor of the great room of the palace at Berlin can be covered with them, and a mimic battle; fought on a European scale. But perhaps the emperor’s ■favorite toys are his little steam launches, of which he possesses a surprising number. He has recently given an order to a Thames builder to make "him a, little electric launch, which when finished will be as pretty as any toy in the kingdom. It is scarcely the 6ize of a skiff, yet is to be shaped like a Tegular steamer, and to be so arranged that his majesty, sitting in the stern, can be his own skipper and steersman. —Cassells Journal. Buckles. Buckles of filigree or silver gilt are chosen for the thick belts worn with shirt waists of silk, mandras, cheviot, etc. Those of bright silver are by many preferred to gold for wearing with dark belts, while the gold buckles are effective with white belts. Square and diamond-shaped buckles are newer than the oval buckles used last year and are worn rather small since narrower belts are in vogue. A pretty slide of^the filigree silver holds the ribbon in place.—Troy Times. __ Seems Probable. “I see,” observed Mr.. Chugwater, .ooking over his morning paper ■“they’re making another effort to put a tax on bachelors.” “Is that the single tax I’ve heard so much about?” inquired Mrs. Chugwater.—Chicago Tribune. j - In These Bars. Miss Fan de Syckle—Who was it said -“the hand that rocks the cradle is the band that rules the world?” Mrs. Strongmind—I don’t know, bnt, anyway, no one pays any attention to anything said of the men nowadays.— Peek.

HB willows and elms had put fcrth little gray^rwD leaves, and lOrigiBftJ.7 mocking- birds and cardinal grosbeaks had mated for the season. The air was 'warm and soft, and all Woodville was excited over the coining Washington birthday celebration. There was to be a procession of the military and civic organizations, and the eloquent young lawyer, Howell Marton. of Richmond, would deliver a eulogy upon tie great patriot and soldier. There had been no commemoration of the day since the war, and the Woodvilleites felt that it reflected upon the patriotism of good Virginians to suffer so important an event to go by unnoticed. All the neighboring towns manifested a lively interest in the coming ceremonies, which promised to ha of exceptional importance. This is why old Mizraim Temple was moving about so restlessly over the plantation of his former master, Col. Elton Templet' The orator of the day was to be the guest of the Temples, who lived but two miles from the village, and Mizraim, who had loyally remained upon the old place ;sfter emancipation. felt that all the responsibilities and duties of the coming event rested upon his shoulders. Old Mizraim, his wife Dinah, who later passed to her reward, and his daughter Piney were the only ones of the old servants who lived on with their master, the hundreds of others scattering in every direction after they were set free. “Marser needs me, ’n’ I ain’ gwine;. nuther's you, Dinah.” “Who done said I wuz?” demanded Dinah, indignantly.

P^ney grew up under Jaer motners care, was taught all the mysteries of her skillful cookery and succeeded the old woman when she died. Piney despised the “Lincoln-freed niggers,” as she termed them, and as there were no others thereabouts she had remained single. I As Mizraim and Piney stood under a big magnolia that grew near the kitchen door, the old man scratched his gray locks and said: “Piney, huccum dey meek sich er furse erbout Ginrul Washin'ton’s bufday?” The daughter endeavored to explain the part taken by the immortal hero in the struggle for independence, concluding with: “He was the Father of His Country, paw.” “t)e fardec=>of all dis yere country, po’ white trash an’ all? Den, lawsamussy, ef I vmz him I’d be p’inted ershamed er myseF. I don’ see no use er bufdays nohow. Dey just naterly keep on er 'mindin’ yer dat yers ergittin’ older all de time, ’n' my achin’ bones done tells me dat." Whuh Ginrul Washin’ton lib?” “Why, paw, hh’s been daid jamby er hunnerd years.” I “Glong, gal! Den white folks is bigger fools den I t’ought. Watter good gwine do ter him ’n’ he daid?” “It’s to larn the livir.’ how good he wuz an* how he fou’t an’ saved this country ’n’—” “Look er here, gal, does yer teck me fer er fool? Did he do all er dis yere on his bufday? Den whatter dey wanter hab it oh datter day? But I jisser don meckin’mysel’ sick worryin’ ober de foolishness er white folks. Shet up, Piney, shet up. Dar come Miss Gracey now.” The old negro pulled off his somewhat battered hat and began to bow and scrape in acknowledgment of the presence of a most beautiful and charming young woman, who smiled pleasantly upon him and his curtseying daughter. “Now, Cncle Mizraim, you know we do have to depend upon you. Can’t you get us some nice fish and game? You know we. shall have company on the Twenty-second.”

“Yaas’m. Miss Gratrey, yaas'm, I know, but yer see hit's pooty soon fer de shad ’n’ hurrin’ ’n’ rather late fer a fat wil’ tuckey. I mought git—” “I knew yon would, Uncle Mizraim. I am especially anxious that everything shall be pleasant fed nice and am sure you will make an extra effort to please me.” * “Datter de way,* grumbled Mizraim, when the young lady had passed on. “Hit’s Mizurm dis V Mizurm dat, *n’ Mizurm tother,” and he went off muttering. “La, paw *ould be mis’able ef he couldn’ complain. ’S ef I didn’ know he druther be in a muss nur eat,” laughed Piney, as she entered her realm. Elton Temple was an old-school Virginia gentleman, whose blood was blue as indigo and ran unsullied back to noble lords in old England. He was disposed to regard with great favor the marked preference shown his daughter by the gifted young lawyer who would be his guest in a day or two. Mar ton s family was as ancient as his own and more than once the blood of that line had blended in marriage with that of the Temples. Col. Temple was a very proud, yet a very worthy and u pright man. He had served the south faithfully during its secession struggle., and at the close of hostilities surrendered in good faith, becoming obedient onto the laws. Without repining he accepted the results of battle, bearing up bravely under the loss of negroes, stocks, bonds, notes, depreciation in land values, etc., and resumed his plantar life under the changed conditions, dealing justly by the freedmsn as he formerly had acted humanely to his slaves.

Washington was his apotheosis. One at his male ancestors had married i Washington and he gloried in the eon- j nection. It was largely through his in- | fluence that the celebration of the hero’s natal day was determined upon, and it was apod his advice that young Marton ; was chosen orator. • The colonel’s creed was simple. He accepted the orthodox faith, worshiped the memory of his dead wife, adored his only child, and held that the word : of a gentleman could not be broken, j He abhorred deceit and never forgave it in anybody. Somewhat old-fash-ioned, he believed in«dueling, and maintained strenuously that the law was made only for the weak. He had no patience with those who appealed to the arbitrament of the courts. Still he was a most gentle, quiet man who never disputed, declined to take any active part in politics, and entertained with an easy grace that is the charm of true Virginia hospita ity. It was the evening of the day before the 22d of February and the colonel drove home from Wood villein excellent spirits. Every arrangement had been thoroughly completed and the weather promised to be auspicious on the morrow. Before he entered the house old Mizraim encountered him. “Deed, marser, it do seem laick eberyt’lng tpte fa*r fer us. De ice’ouse er plunaf full er game ’n’ fish *n* Piney’s fro Win’ hersel’ away on de cookin’ an’ nit looks somefin’ laick de good oi’ times afo’ de wah, marser.**

This intelligence added to the good ; humor of the all-hospitable master of the house, whose handsome face was j covered over with a smile as he enI tered the great hall of the noble old colonial manor that his greatgrandfather had built. He was surprised that Grace did not greet him according to her custom, for he was sure she must have heard his voice. Searching anxiously about he found her in a corner bathed in tears and sobl ing as though her heart would break. “Why, pet, what in the world is the matter?'’ Without uttering a word she placed" in his hands a Richmond paper and pointed to a brief paragraph. His eyes opened wide in astonishment as he read: “Cards are out for the wedding of | Howell Mart on. Esq., the brilliant young lawyer, and Miss Hattie, daughter of John W. Powell, the well-known capitalist of the city.” The father was silent for seme mo merits as he stood over his idol, whose

I mas’ trier him. sholy." | The' dsj was gloria— A gentle southwest wind blew fragrance from tbe great swamp, rustling the mistletoe clumps in the boughs of the big gum trees and waring to and fro the pendant gray— that hang down from the spreading branches of the great beech trees on the ridges, which seemed like so many giants with long, straggling locks. It touched the slender fingers of the pines until they played a mournful melody and caused the bright green 1—res of the bay tree to send forth ripples of laughter. The gloomy colonel, however. as he passed in tarn the swamp, the beech and the pine groves, had no eye for the weird scenery and no ear for the voices of the stirred trees. 1 Equally he did not regard the immense crowds that had already gathered in the streets of Woodville. The imposing pageant was lost npon him. He spoke now and then to those who addressed him, but he moved about as one in a dream. Still less did he observe that old Mizraim had followed him to town and was dodging about closely inshis rear. The tra&n which brought Marton was delayed more than two hours, so that ! the parade was over and the crowd had been gathered for some time about : the speaker's stand before he reached | the .-grounds. The stalwart, hand- | some young fellow, with his long, ! wavy chestnut hair, his piercing brown

eyes and deep-toned, magnetic voice fairly captivated his audience before he had ottered a dozen sentences. It seemed as though he were a being who had lived and moved with Washington and gained his confidence, so that he knew his inner soul. In most graphic manner he told of the simple life of the planter of Mount Vernon, the heroic endurance; of the commander of the tattered forces at Valley Forge, the master spirit of the constitutional convention, the supreme first president of the republic. Then he closed with an ^impassioned outburst, in which he recited the exalted virtues of the immortal Washington and urged the emulation of them upon his hearers. The orator utterly eclipsed his previous fame - ^nd the audience was carried away with enthusiasm, all save a stern-visaged white man and a skulking old negro. Col. Temple had not heard a single word. His heart . was with his idolized girl. While the excited people rent the air with huzzas, he made his way through the

; hair he stroked gently. Finally he asked, in unsteady tones: “Did you care for him so much, i pet?'’ “O father,” cried the girl, passionately, as she threw her arms upward and clasped them about his neck. “Was there—did he ask you to be his wife?” It was some time before the agitation of the girl permitted her to speak. Then she told him, as a weary child making complaint i'o its mother, that i while no formal betrothal had taken place she had every assurance of his | love and, indeed, it was his expressed purpose to ask her hand in marriage during the coming visit. She could not understand his perfidy; she must not, she could not doubt, yet there were the words in cold, cruel type. “He is an unmitigated scoundrel, and you must forget him, my child.” Then he sought to soothe her by comforting words, but, alas! there is no balm for a heart thus wounded. Man's perfidy is more cruel than the knife of the assassin or the poison of the asp. t After a long time he persuaded her to go to her room and seek sleep: but. as for him, he walked his apartment all night. His face grew very stern in this long vigil and there was infinite menace in it as he came out to his breakfast. Grace had sent word that she was unable to leave her room, but she insisted that he take part in the day’s celebration, learning from his daughter’s maid that her mistress was in no alarming condition, the colonel left the house in search of Mizraim. “There will be no company here today and you may tell Piney that she need not go to your young mistress for any orders.” “Look er yere, marser,” began Mixraim, with the easy freedom of a lifelong favorite, “dar’s de—*’ “Shut up, sir. Do as I bid you,** and the colonel turned sharply away upon his heeL “Well, I clar’ to goodness-gracious, I know’d marser wux ergittin’ ol’, but 1 nebber t’ought he were gwine crazy.

1 crowd, that respectfully divided at his approach. With bowed head he was slowly making his way towards the Woodville tavern, when a bright, cheery voice said: “Why, colonel, I’ve looked for you everywhere. Where is Miss Grace?” “You infamous scoundrel! A friend of mine will see you without delay,” cried the old man, passionately. “What can be the matter? Are you ill?” “Away, sir, or there will be murder. Do you hear? I would lake no mean advantage.” > * The young man regarded the retreating form of the old soldier with grave concern, when a voice at his side said: “Marser How’l, ol’ marser lose his haid; he’s gettin’ ol’. You jis’ see Miss Gracie," and Mizraim hastened alter the colonel. Three hours later, and it was near the setting of the sun, Col. Temple and his most intimate friend. Judge Lofton, rode slowly up the broad lane that led to the Temple mansion. They were conversing earnestly as vthey dismounted. v “I insist, judge, that you follow him to Richmond and demand satisfaction. I cannot understand how he could have disappeared so quickly.” Mizraim, after his master fell into the company of the judge, had hastened home and now stood by the side of the colonel, who suddenly started forward, as he cried: “There is the villain,” and, carried away with infinite passion, hastily drew a revolver, leveling it at Marton, who was advancing and scarcely ten paces distant. The excited man did not perceive that his daughter was fast approaching from the house. “Papa,” she cried in glad accents, not observing his tragic movement. The eyes of Marton had been fixed upon the girl too, and he had seen nothing. Mizraim, who had not lost a gesture of his master, rushed forward and wrested the weapon from the old man’s grasp, concealing it about his own person and then quickly returned to the horses v

Tha t newspaper paragraph was j an infamous—” > “Gentlemen hare no need to^ttke | explanations one to another, my dour i Marton. You may hare Grace, and may God blesa the union. Excuse me for a moment,” he cried, as though suddenly reminded of an important duty. Then he hastened in the direction of Miaraim, who was leading away the hones. ' “Mizraim, 1 have changed my mind. Tell Piney to cook such a dinner ms she 1 never—* “'Loch er yere, marser, wui yer ’sposin* 1 minded Watter you done said dia | mornin*?

Git up dar, yer lazy critters.” William Rosseb Cobbs. ____ They Bow to Ilia. The great men of all nations haws joined in panegyric to the name and character of George Washington, the “Father of His Country,” and often the bits of sentiment to which they hare given expression have been exquisitely wrought out, making some of the xWorld’s masterpieces of wording. 1 “In my idea,” says La Fayette, “Gen. Washington is the greatest man, for I look upon him as the most virtuous.” “He hath faith,” said Guizot, the historian, “in God and himself.” ’The test of the progress of mankind.” said Lord Brougham, “will be in the appreciation of the character of Washington.”

“■America,” said Webster, “has furnished to the world the character of Washington. And if our American institutions had done nothing else that alone would hare entitled them to the respect of mankind.” “All I dan say,” Gladstone has said, “is that \l look upon Washington, among great and good men, as one peculiarly good and great; and that he has been to me for more than forty years a light upon the path of life.” “Gen. Washington is a typical American, and will always stand in American history without peer or rival," war Sherman's tribute. Washington's Ancestry. One genealogist, reckless of consequences, has traced the ancestry of President Washington to Odin. Another attempt was made to connect him with the Washingtons, of Durham, England. But the authentic source of his parentage is a Washington clan, of County Northampton, England, where the old manor house is still to be seen, though in ruins. Upon consulting Virginian records one can get back no farther than his great-grandfather, John Washington, who settled in Virginia in 1657. His eldest son Lawrence had three children, John, Augustine and Mildred, and our president was the child of Augustine,: and his second wife, Mary Ball, whom Augustine married in 1730. George Washington had five brothers and sisters. His father died when he was seven years old, and the future hero was trained by his half-brother, Lawrence Washington.— N. Y. Ledger.____ The First Tribute In Versa. Oddly enough, the first poem evei ■written in honor of Gen. Washington comes from the pen of a woman of negro birth. In the Pennsylvania Magazine for April, 1776, these verses are printed, and they a re signed “Phillis Wheatley, the African poetess, Providence, October 26, 17?5:” CelestiiU choir! enthron'd in realms of light, Colombia's scenes of gloiriotu toils FU write. While freedom’s cause her anxious breast alarms. ' She Sashes dreadful in refulgent arms; See mother earth her offspring's fate bemoan. And nations gaze at scenes before unknown. Fam'd for thy Talar, for thy virtues more. Hear every tongue thy guardian aid implore Proceed, great chief, with virtue on thy side. Thy ev'ry action let the goddess guide A crown, a mansion, and a throne that shine. With gold unfading. Washington, be thine.’

Washington's Personal Appearance. His portraits do justice to the unanimous verdict of all who saw him as to his imposing appearance. When prepared for burial he measured just sis feet,but in full vigor he was three inches taller. La Fayette declared his hands were the largest he ever saw on a man. He was of a fair and somewhat florid | complexion and weighed about two hundred and twenty pounds. He moved and rode with commanding dignity. Every aspect of external view proclaimed Washington a -born leader of men, and'his contemporaries are often found relating the awe-inspiring effects his behavior and bearing produced on those with whom he came into contact —N. Y. Ledger. Any Off. A Boston lecturer recently told the Pine Tree State club an amusing incident in connection with “the Aroostook war,” when Webster was secretary of state. “Two Maine countrymen,” said the lecturer, “were discussing one of Webster’s papers in regard to the controversy, when one of them asked what Webster meant by the three words: ‘Sine qua non.* The other replied that he wasn’t quite sure, but thought they were islands in Passamaquoddy bay.” ’ Could Trip the Light Fantastic. Although Gen. Washington was a military commander and a leader of successful armies, he was also a flower of chivalry :n times of peace, and at his own inauguration ball he is described as dancing two cotillons and a minuet. Historians also speak of a .visit he made to Annapolis, where ha opened a ball given by the citizens in his honor, with Mrs. James Macnbbin, one of the most beautiful women of that age —Detroit Free Preen
