CRAWFORD'S City Crockery Store

Wo kept a boarding-house, Mitty and L To be sure, people said It was a shame that Mr. FoDtaioe'd daughters should stoop so low in life as to deal out their hospitality for money. But Mitty said uud Mitty has a great deal of common sense that we must live, and all the genteel com pany that came to visit us wouldn't put so much as a penny in our pockets toward coal and tuxes. Mrs. Hall, who lived uext door to Uu, said she knew we would make It pay. Misa Cynthia Caldwell thought that It would have been much nicci and more select to do fine sewing, or get a place as governess, or something uf tuat sort, which wouldu't have baen so public. Old Fearnleaf said his daughters shouldn't viöit us, and Dr. Millet looked the other way when he brought Ma faslii jnablu new Lridu to town and met Mitty faeo to fa.o iu the street. "LVar me," eaid Mitty, laujhlnp, "what a queer world th s la!" liutl wa3 angry natmgh to cry. "No matter, Mitty," said I; "we'll teach them that we can bo q lite independent without them." WeJl,aa time went on we had several boarders. Old Mr. Potti.;rew and his niece Clari i, who gave lessons in wax fl nvers and water -color paintings. Our looms were full, all except the Httlo oao over tka wiag. "Kite," said Mitty, tiiumphautly, "we arc making money. l;ut rWTen pounds In the savings bauk to-day, over and above all expenses f jr the past month." "I dare cay Mrs, Hall 6avcs more thau that," eaid I. "I think very llkelj," sal 1 Mitty. "Only, you see, Mrs. Hal: does everything on a grander scale than we can pretend to keep up wLh." "Wo do our own marketing, wash and iron our own table linen, au l sift the ashes on iho tly, while Mis Henrietta Hall (9 practicing 'The Maiden's Pray ei' on the piauo." "But then," observed I, "wo ate not such Que ladies ns Mrs. Hall aud Mi33 Henrietta. We are only two poor little old m ilds, who are obligod to earu our own living." "Kate, you are no't an old maid," indignantly cried out Mitty. "And you are as fresh as a rosebud beeide Henrietta Hall," sai 1 I, patting her cheek. "Do you kuo x, dear. I think hard work agrees with bjth Of U3." Bo things went tn, until one sum mor evening we uore out on our steps, when there was q lite u commolion in Ihe carpeted hall of our nr ij-'l.Lt.r, Mrs. Hall. "Of course he must go," Mrs. Hall's voice shrilly announced. "It was a great imposition on mo that he should ever come here. I supposed ho was an author or a lawyer, or sumo pen tccl occupation, and now you see he is nothing but a painter, A common painter." "An aril jt, ma'am," suggested Mr. Birdseye. "And where' tho difference, I should like to know?" sputtered Mrs. Hall. "Except that ooe has at least daily wages to depend upon aud the other hasn't. And now here he is down with scarlet fever or small-pox, or some other hideous ailment, and-" "Only a malignant form of intermittent fever, ma'am," again put in Mr. Birdseye. "No matter what name they call It by," said the lady, waxing hotter and hotter in tho ardor of discussion. "I dou't keep a hospital here, and if I

did I wouldn't harbor any such low trash. 8o the sooner he packs off, the better I shall be pleased." "But where li he to go?" asked young Diedcrrnau. "He has no fiiends that anybody knows of, and-" "All the more reason I Bhoul 1 get him eff-my bauds as q iickly a post ble," said Mrs. Hall. Tho idea of my becoming responsible for hii funeral expenses, or" "Hush, Waller will hear you," interrupted Mr. Birdseye. "His window is open." "I don't Crtre if ha does hear me,"

snapped Mrs. Hall. "He ought to

have been aahamed of himself, coming here under such circumstances Mi these. But he goes, sick or well, before sunet this very night. There are public hospitals enough, I suppose. " "Flenty of 'em," said Mr. Birdseyo, dryly, "and whde he U waiting for

all the forms to be gone through with, in order to gain admission, ho will most likely die in the street" "Well, let him die," said Mrs. Hall. "That's no business of mine that I know of." Mitty looked at mo. I looked at Mitty, Our eyes both sparkled mute telegraphic messages to each other and 1 spoke out of the ohokiog indignant fullness of my heart. "Mrs. H iil," cried I, "Mr. Waller may come hero, whoever he is. A bick man, friendless and alone, should be able to claim brotherhood with all tho woild. Mitt v an 1 I will take earn

ml hin until ho is able- to take care of

h: met. If."

Mrs. Hall took us at our word with extreme promptitude, and before nightfall poor Bernard Waller was snugly installed in tho little vacant room over tho wiug a pale, ghostlylooking creature, babbling Mly of people and places on tho continent that we never heard of. Dr. Millet shook his head very gravely. "He is a very sick man," was his verdict. "Kate,' whisper d Mitty, wbon tho doctor was gone, and the sick man was all still aüd settled for tho night, "snppos-- suppose ho should diel" 'Tn that case, Mitty, 1 don't think we should repent that we had done our duty." "I am sure we should not," said Mitty. softly. But Bernard Waller did not die. He got well and, of courfco, according to all the i ules of truo love, he bst his heart to Mitty's blue eyes and j.retty face. "Yju'11 never allow your sister to marry a painter I'' 6aid Mrs. Hall, s-i it fully. "I am suro I have no obj action to her becoming an artist's wife, as long as they lvc each other," said I, laughing. "Well, really," Mttd Mrs. Hall, "if it were my my Uenii .tta " "JMR it isn't your Henrietta," I Interrupted, a little sharply; "It li our Mitty, and she has ehoseu to suit herself, and! for oue, u;u entirely sa:isUed." Well, they wore married in a q ikt sort of way. I am reaching tho on 1 of my story now -the romance that, irradiated our lives, when the cake was cut, apd Mi y and Bernard had gone ou their tour, with humbL' little me along ia the capacity of bridesmaid. We had traveled all day, and towards nii,'ht, on a glorious Djtobir day, wo drove iato a gate of a spacious old place where there wore octagonal towers and ivy-mautlcd wails. "Oil, what a fine oil place!" said Mittly. "Ah. k) k at that lovely, glittering fountain; and the beds of searlet g'rarii am. B.-ruard, are you going to sketch tliia place?" "I may, in timd," sai 1 my sister's husband, composedly, as he spraug out and opeued tho carriage door. "Are yon g i.i lg get out here, Bernard? Dj you know the pcopl ?" But bef jre he could answer, the ijreat carved oak d jors II w opeu, revealing a stately eiriaiico hall, with a Ore burning at th farthest end mmi a mo.58 colored carpet on the lloor. Wax lU'hrs h'l.v..-d aoftly, pletur i gleamed dorfrn from the walls, eh uis ti, h ilslered in violet Velvet Stood around. To Mitty and me it was like a glimpse of fairy land. "Who lives here, Bernard?" still persisted Mitty, a3 she advanced timidly up the broad marble steps. "I do. Welcome home, swoet wife; welcome home, sister." I stared blankly at his bright face "But, Bernard, we thought you were poor." "Did I erer say I was? When I came to B to sketch, I certainly saw no occadon o proclaim my private affairs to the good people there. I engaged a room at Mrs. Hull's be8MNt it was convenient. When I was ill and delirious, I could not tell the truth. When I knew how good and true you two dear girls were, 1 revived that I could wait and give you a surprise. I was only an amateur Hrtist I am rich, but I am Bernard Waller still," Now, wam't that a romance? And.

you see, it really happened to Mitty and mj Self, aud we are liae ladies !:ow, aud drive about in our open barouche behind cream colored horses. And you can guess how discorufitted Mrs. Hall aud II -urietta were whouthjy flrst heardvof the real position of the sick artist.

The army bid, as approved by the

President, contains a provision that any cadet who graduates at West Point may have the option of receiving 1750 ia cash if he will resign his commission immediately ou graduating. The provision was a part of the original Buruside bill, which contemplated u juaidernble reduction in the number of arrny officers and adopted this means of Inducing cadets to resign. But as the uew law does not reduce the number of officers there Is uo necessity of otTjring any inducements to cadets to resign. On the contrary.it is snid there are thirty more vacancies in the rank of second lieutenant at the present time than there are graduating cadets this year. Thus we have the anotnily of tho government educating young men at the military academy, at largo expense and then offering them a bonus to resign and leave vacancies for men who perhaps have no military education. The provision is a fair specimen of the blundering legislation of the present Congress. lndianaio'.i Journal.

The Xapolcimic Stu-cession. Tho E.nperor Napoleon III. died at OhlaalhurH, Eogland. Jan. D, 1873. In less than seven years Ids son, and the heir of the lato French empire, follows him to :ire grave. The question of succession, even if it be to a defunct empire, consequently becomes ono of iuterest. Among tho Bcnapart.sts generally the heirship to the supposititious throno is considered to rest iu tiio family of the late Jerom Bonaparte, now represented by X.ipoloon Joseph Charles l'uul Bonaparte, who was born at Ti ieste, Bspt u, IS12. By a decree or the French Senate of UV of December, 1833, ho w.ts pronounced a French prince, with right to a place in the Smuto and the Council of State, at the HUM litno receiving tho Grand Cross of the Ligiou of Honor. By the family lnspSjfrt be was lha recognized heir presumptive to tho imperial throne, previous to the death of Piinoo Louis. 11 j is now heir apparent, or were tho emoiro in existence, au i did not tho will or the lat. E uperor pro vent, he would today bo Emperor of France. But, curiously euough, Pilueo X tpoleou's (the name be has alwajfa SOIte by iu France) politieal IsjataBUBU have been extremely liberal. Juat previous to tho war with Germany he alvised his cousin, tha lute E.nperor, to libcraüzj the Coustiiution; but, It Is claimed, owing to the opposition of the Batprsaa, between whom aud hiniodf there has always been a bitter and deaJly fciiJ, bis effnta were unsujcc-afui. Ia löü'J (Jan. li)) he Bssurrfod the Pi in ea as Clotilda, daughter of the lato King Victor Eaianuel, auu aJatac of the present Kint? of Italy. By her ho has two eons Napoleon Victor Jerome Frederick, born July 18, 16Ö2, and Napoleon L mis Joseph Jerome, born July 1. LS&i, and oue daughter, M trie Ljtitia Eigmie Catherine A loluide, born Dec. 2J, 180'J. Princu Napoleon m ly not seek to restore tho Empire for his ovn basis Ali but as Um Bjnupartists must' have a representative of the family as a rally iuD' center a.;d Off, who more fitting thau tho gran loon of King Victor E nunu.l aud of the Kiug of Westphalia? But tho fact Is, fine the death of the Emperor, und notably biaco tho late young Pfioos L juis departed on hiu late iil sta: led expedition to-Z tlulaud, P-ctuue Nipoleou has t luinijd t be the ehief repicsjiitative of Li j family, and has been st a.lily crg.mizing a party of hisoivu in oppo- iti in to I8S adherents of the E.npress E ig.-nio and tin Prince Iuip rial. I; has cveu been insinuated that it was this which drove the E BBaToee? a) Hl laf SUIS to the alternative of sen ling tho poor lad out to Africa to meet his death at the hanJs of savages. In thiscjn'Deliou we may aid that tho Volonte Xiition.ile, the organ of tho Prince Napoleon, publnbed the following extraordinary doelarutiou M iy 13, 1S75; "If tho son of Napoleon III. were to die, Prince Nxpoleon would never seek to restore, the empire lr his own benefit! A third empire, which mu'St aim at tho restoration of Prinoe Napoleon or his nephew, would probably end iu the St. Mirtin's canal. It would be the end of the country. Moreover wo have never doubted that Franco, even if directly consulted, would energetically pronounce tho Republican form, the most compatible with the very print Iplo of universal suffrage." Jerome Bonaparte, father of Prince Napoleon, now tho representative of the Bjnaparte family, wiiiie iu this couutry in inisd Miss Eliz iboth Patterson, in Baltimore, D :c. 27, 13J3. But this m.arriu.'o was declared null and void ly the B np ror Napoleon I , and Jtroiiu sub.seq lently m irried Sophia Dorothea, d lushter of King Frederick I., of Wortemhurg. Miss Patteisou previoudy went to Frauee but was driven from tho couutry by Napoleon I. She again visited France

during tho rein of Napotsoa III., aud endeavored to get hor ohildren legitim tibi 'd uud given precedence of thjse of JcGom-'s second wife. This Napoleon refused to do, at least so far as would rate thorn iu the Imperial family, aud at Its court abovo the children of the second mtrriago. Upon this ah left the country, and never again ajftjtnad the nam-s of Bonaparte. Consequently tho Bonapartists do not acknowledge tho ohildren of Misi Patterson aj of the

blood royal of the Napoleonic ltoyal House. A Strange Memorial of Sorrow. A striking instance of the nrbitratary state in which Scotland was held in former times, both in public and private uffairs, is exhibited in the sad fate of a wife of a Lord of Sessious, whoso title was Lord Orange. It was SUSptCttd that the lady, by soino means or other, had got at tno kuowlodge of some h ate papers of Infinite consequence, aud as poor women are set down iu the minds oi all arbitrary m on to be incapable of keeping a secret, Grange and bis sou wore doterminod to secure tho oueeontui-i 'U in tho papers In question by putting It out of the lady's power to divulje anything he knew

of the mutter. To accomplish their design, the husband and son privately conveyed her to the island or St. Kilda, there put her on shore, and loft her to shift for herself, aud sailed back again, without a living being having missed them, or suspected what they bad executed; nor could the lady's place of concealment be discovered by her friends, although they made every effort iu their power to find out whither they had conveyed her, but to no purpose. The Ittel & ot St. Kilda afforded no implements for writing, and the lady's history would never have been known had she not worked it on her muslin upron with her hair. Her family, by some meaus or other, after her death ( vhieh happened at St. Kilda nearly thirty years after her banishment), gol possession of this curious piece of work, nnd preserved it with grout care, as a mam uial of her tftfEafilgS, aud of the tj-rraoy of the times it which she lived.

SPIRITUALISM. Its Birth in ltochester, Mew York The Fox libit and the llappru?. Modern spiritualism began in what were ailed the "Itochester kuockings," or the phenomenal sounds and cornm niications produced by the Fox sisters of this place. A very wealthy man told me that in his younger days In Rochester he orten weut to see these girls at their manifestations. They lived in a quiet street of Rochester, and were rather hearty, red cheeked, countrylike girls. "We made every effort," said this gentleman, "to detect them in sorne imposture, and even put tumblers of glass under the legs of the table, but we never found anything out," The Fox girls, we may say, were the daughters of Jehu D. Fox. They moved into a "haunted house" in a town near Rochester, where the inmates bad been annoyed by rapping

on the doors. The Fox family also heard these lappings and ende tvorod to trace them to some human origin, but without success, Tne younger gill, unable to get to sleep,, uud haviuguo fears, began to snap her fingers iu response to the raps, and noticing that the spirits responded with just as many raps as she gave snaps, the girl cried out: "Now count Ave! Count ten! Tell us the age of t-ister Catherine!'' a) In this way the enumeration by raps was discovered by a child who baldly could read. Of course the family was excited by the manifestations of Intelligence In this unknown cause. "If you are a spirit," asked the mother, "make two distinct raps." Those raps were given March 31, 1848, about tho time that Western New York was agitated over the probability of Millard Fillmore their neigh. Dor, becoming Tiee president. From that night uroso the whole literature of rappiug. Then the whole vi lago started to search the house aud keep watch over whatever impostors might be there. One d iy, la the cellar, David Fox, eou of the tenant, cried out to tho invisible rapper: "If you are a spirit rap to the letters that will spell your name!" II then began to call the alphabet and the instrumentality indicated tho name "Cnarles B. itoemer." Nobody of that name had ever been known there, but it was alleged by the rappi.ig medium that ho was a peJ 1 lei. aud was uio.rde.red in that houso. Of course theso occurrences spread abroad, and theFux family moved to Ii ehester, accompanied by the rappiags. lV-opte then began to go to them to ask q leeUoot about Ihe dead. Af. er awhile taahlet and otht r Objjctt begau to move in the presence and under tho touch of these girls. Society bei. ig generally ex. i ted now, various traneos and clairvoyant conditions came out. In November, 1 84'J, as was alleged, at the request or the spirits, tho Fox family called a public meeting iu Coriutblan hall, still standing, the property of S.iiuuel Wild ir, which is now being transformed into the most beautiful theater In the interior of the state, I lectured two cousecu live winters ou the 6amj platform where tho Fox girls exploited, aud heard no rappiugs except from a rather nervous heart. The Fox girls, thus brought before the public, became the sübj'ct of univers-l newspaper literature, review, discusdon aud semi religious excitement. Such meu a John W. Elmunds, Prof. Gray, Robert Dale Owen, John 1'ierrepout and others, are generally knowu to have been spiritualists, but not the innumerable business men whose whole religion is spiritualism. The names of hair a dozen prominent men were given to mo iu Rochester as spititualists. "Tneie are my groceis? s dd ono gentlemau. " Tney are just as practical men ns any iu tho world.

sufficient bulwark for the protection of Europe from Increased humidity. The only possible nortbernly outlet for air currents from El Juf would be across Tunis in a north-easterly direction over tha widest part of the Mediterranean. Currents movfng fn that direction, if they reached Europe at all, would touch the shores of Greece sfter they had lost most of

their humidity. M. de Irisseps, after a careful examination or the question, is couvineed that it would result in the general improvement of the climate of Europe rather than to its detriment The hd vantage of the increased evaporation to North Africa cannot be overestimated.

Ir tbe Sahara is Flooded, What ! The only importaut obj ction which has thus far been urged against tbe undertaking has uriseti iu the apprehensions expressed by a few bcientists that the evaporation produced by so large and so shallow a body of water, exposed to a tropical eun, would be sufficient to deluge Northern Europe with incessant rains, acd to reduce mater i ally tho temperature in all the couaaiies north of tho Alps. It has even been feared that winds freighted with moisture on crossing the cold summits of tho Alps, would precipitate vast volumes of water aud produce a degree of cold which would give Denmark und Northern Germauy a bemi-Artic climate and prod uce a glacial epoch farther north. Ia it not probable that all such apprehensions arioso out of a misunderstanding as to tho topography of the Sahara und North Africa?

N n Burial of Sir J.thu Moor. Not a drum was heard, because the drummer was not feeliug very well aud aoked to bo exousod, uor a fucerol note of any kiud, as his corpse to the ramparts we hurried; not a single, solitary son-of-a-guu of a soldier discharged his farewell shot o'er the grave where the remains of the late Mr. Moore were deposited. The farewell shot busiuess was omitted ou accouut of the scarcity of anima nition. We buried him darkly at dead of night, aud did tho best job we could under the circumstances. We could not borroe, bog, or steal a pick or a shovel in the entire neighborhood and were obliged to turn thi Bods with our bayonets, which, by th3 way, wos the first thiug that had been turned by said bayonets since we had been drafted. Wo did all this by the struggling moonbeams' misty light, and the lantern dimly buruing, with just about half enough oil in it, and a strip of au old ilinnel under shirt for a wick. Few and shor t were the prayers we sai 1, the chaplain being home on a furlough, and no one within forty miles to take his place. W.o spoko not a word of sorrow, our time being somewhat limited, as the enemy was not far distant, and ad vancing with gigautic strides. We thought, as we hollowed his narrow bed, and smoothed down his lonely pil'ow with a canteen, that the foe and the stranger would treud tret his head, and we far away on the billow; hut not too far, however, as the enemy outuumbcrcd us about tevcu to one. Lightly they'll talk of the spirit that's gone, and wonder where they can get another II isk filled with the same, and o'er his cold ashes upbraid him, knowing, or course, that he It la no condition to defod himself; but he'll little reck if they let him sleep on in a grave where a Briton has laid him, aud cot botbor him to get up aud take out a burial permit, or ask him to pav ground rent. We wish here to correct the impression that slowly and sadly we laid him down from the field of his fame fresh and gory. We did no such thiug. Tbe corpse was washed and put iu good shape, and we defy any man to show that there was a drop of gore about him. It is true that we carved not a line and we raised not a stone, because there was not a stone mason bandy who would do the Job at reasonable figures.

About this time we heard tho distant

aud random gun that the foe was sullenly firing, so we a 1 j mrnod tho fun eral, left tho deceased alone in his gloiy, and ma Je ourselves scarce iu that vicinity. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Sleep has a most wonderful power often stronger than the will, at in the case of the sleeping soldirr, and mora mighty than pain, as when sick persons aud tortured prisoners sleep la tho midst of their suffeiing. No torture, it is said, has been found equal to the prevention of sleep. Th amount of sleep needed differs according to the constitution and habits. Big br ui ls and persons who perform much brain labor need a large amount of sleep. Children needl more sleep than grown people, because construction is more active than decay in their brains. On the whole, however, people better not sleep ia meeting. "Blind with rage" meant something in a Paris workshop one afternooa three weeks ago.
