"Do you think my terms high?" . i4By no means; But when one's purse is low ,r ,'Yes, I know. Do stay at your price. 3 can't spare you." She had grown such a fondness for the old lady that to refuse her at her own terms would have seemed like turning her own mother out of doors; beside, one month more would not signify. But she found it hard to make both ends meet, and her mother and Mrs. Clement might enjoy enough, without there appearing to be "just a pattern." At Christmas, however, came a ray of sunshine for Delia, in the shape of a hundred dollar bill from an unknown friend. "It can't be meant for me," she cried. , 'fit's directed to Delia Rogerson , 1 1

"It was a scandal," the neighbors said, "that Miss Dela should be obliged to take boarders, after all she'd been through; and heaven knows boarders did not help a fcoiy to work out her salvation. And so much money in the family, too, taking it by small and large. Was'nt t.er Uncle Eben, over at Doverjwell to do, and not a chick of his own to care ibr, except the boy he had adopted, who" was no ereditto him? It was odd, now, that a man with xoor relations should take to a stranger; when his own flesh and blood was needy; but sometimes it did seem as if

folks had more leelmg lor others than for their own kith and kin. Then there were cousins in the city, forehanded and fashionable; who were never worth a row of pins to Delia, and there was her Great-uncle John's widow alarkin' on the continenfe,a gamboling at Baden Baden, at trying the waters of every spring in the th ree kingdoms, for no disease under the sun but old age. She'd been known to. say that her folks were too. rich already, and probably she would endow some hospital with

her property." Plainly, wealthy relations were-of no value to Miss Delia. To be sure, she had never, seen her great aunt" 3iuee she was a child, when her Uncle John had brought her iuto their simple life for & month's V visit, with her French maid and dresses, her jewels and fallais,which won the heart of lier little namesake. Since then Uncle John's widow had become a sort of a gilded'creanon, always young and always beats tifa); for, though Delia had received little gifts from time to time across-the seas for the last fifteen years, she had neither heard nor seen anything of the being who had inspired her youthful imagination, and was 3uite uncertain if such' a persomas Mrs. ohn Bogerson was in the land of the living. De&d cr alive, she seemed to

have made no material difference in Delia's humdrum life. After having nursed her father through a long sickness, Delia found that he had left a heavy mortgage on the homestead, and her mother and herself on the high road to the jKMwhonse, unless. ,they should bestir themselves. As her mother was already bedridden, the stirring nafcaraUy feu upon Delia; and she advertised for summer boardera Good board in the country, by the river side, at seven1 dollars a week.

"Cheap encugh!" commented an elderly lady, who' happened upon it. "Delia Rogers; An old maid, I suppose, obliged to look out for herself.

I've a good mind to try her broad piazzas, and new milk. If I don't like it, there'll be no harm-done." ,-. And so Delia's first boarder arrived an old lady, with a false front of hair, brown wrinkled skin, faded eyes, a block alpaca gown, and a hair trunk Delia made her as welcome as if she nad been a duchess; lighted a wooden fire in Mrs. Cleme nt's room, as the night was damp, and brought out her daintiest cup and saucer, with the fadeless old io;-es vrea thing them. "Wonderfully kind," reflected Mrs. Clement, as she combed ont. her wisp of gray hair"? and confided the false front to a box " Wonderful kindness for seven dollars a week! She's new to the trade. She'll learn better. Human nature does not change with latitudes. She'll find it doesn't pay to consider the comfort of a poverty-stricken old creature. fti - " 15 "But; in spite, of her worldly wisdom, Mrs. Clemen t was forced to confess xhat -Delia had begun 'as she men to hold out, though other ooarders cam to demand her attention, to multiply her cares? ; The fret and jar of conflicting temperaments under her roof waii a new- experience to Delia.

"What .makes you keep us, my dear?,'' asked Mrs. Clement, after a day" when everything and everybody

had to go wrong.1 Why didn't you ever marry? You had a'lover, I dare say?" "Yes-; a lone, long time ago!" t , "Tell me about him it?' , "There isn't much to tell. He asked me to marry him.

New York Evening Post. The reporter asked Major Hubbard why American jockeys were not sent to England with American horses, to prevent the criticism like that made upon Iroquois' . success that Archer really won the race by superior riding. He replied that good jockeys are far nioie plentiful in England than here, and that such combinations of pluck, physical strength and judgment as are found in Archer and Fordhain are rare. Such a jockey knows by instinct what a horse can do; a few strokes of a whip too many lose a race and so may a few strokes too few. It is a delicate matter and requires fine judgment.

riding had a good deal to do with win

Archer, the chief jockey of England, is a remarkable personage, petted like a prima donna the companion of sporting lords, and his services are intrigued and paid for at a rate of remuneration known only on the turf. His movements are chronicled as carefully as those of a Prince of the royal blood. His visaing cards are in constant demand. He is surrounded by a ho3t of parasites, his mounts are backed to the shortest odds; the opinion of the animal he rides is most anxiously solicited by the owner and trainer; while the gamblers who pin their faith to him are pleased with even a smile from his valet.

Subsequent to the separation from her husband, Mrs. Raleigh was questioned as to the illicit, distillery which he is

said to have run in the cellar of his

house in this city at one time, but of

this matter she professed to be in ignorance. The story goes that one of the men in charge" being drinking with some companions and not liking the quality of the tanglefoot offered him, told the crowd that if they would come to the cellar he would give them some that was genuine, as he had helped to make it himself. These are but the merest scraps from the history of the eminent Councilman, wh is so bright and shining a light in the circle of Latter-day aints, and the trial promises some exceedingly interesting developments.

"Horrors! Don't you know wheth

er your own aunt is dead or alive?" asked Mrs. Clement, in a shocked tone. ."It isn't our fault. She is rich and Iive3 abroad. I was named for her. I used to look in the glass and try to believe I'd inherit her beauty with the name, though she was only our great uncle's wife." "She ought to be doiug something for you." "How can she, if she's dead? I don't blame her, any way. Her money is her own, to use according to her pleasure. Uncle John made it himself and gave it to her." "But if she should.come back to you, having run through with it, you'd divide your last crust with her. I'll be bound." VI suppose I. should," said Delia, The winter wore away, as winters

will, and the miracles of spring began

in fields and wayside : and Delia's boarders returned with tne June roses, and dropped away again with the falling leaves.and still Mrs. Clement stayed on and on . Just now she had been some weeks in arrears with her reduc

ed board. No money had been forthcoming for some time, and she was growing more and more feeble daily, needed the luxuries of an invalid and the attention of a nurse, both of which Delia bestowed noon her, without taking thought for the morrow. . WT mmt. hpar from mv man of busi

"Don't mention it!" cried Delia. "Pd rather never see a cent of it than have you take it to heart. You are welcome"to stay and share pot-luck with us; you aresuoh company for mother and me." "Thank you, my dear. I've grown as fond of you as if you were my own flesh and blood. , There,turn down the light, please. Draw the curtain, dear, and put another stick on the lire .please. It grows chilly, doesn't it? You might kiss me just once, if you wouldn't mind? Its a hundred years or so since

anyone kissed me.". And the next morning, when Delia carried up Mrs. Clements breakfast, her boarder lay cold and still upon the piliows. . The first shock over, Delia wrote directly to the lawyer of whom she h ad heard Mrs. Clemment speak as having charge of her affairs, begging him notify that lady's relatives if she had any. -Z - In reply, Mr. Wills wrote: '4Tnelate Mis. Clement appears to have no near relative. Some distant cousins, who,

have an abundance of this world s goods, yet served her shabbily when she tested their generosity, as she has tried yours, are all that remain of her family. In the meantime I enclose you a copy of her last will and . testament, to peruse at your leisure." "What interest does he ?ttiink I take in Mrs. Clement's will," thought Delia; but read, nevertheless: "Being of sound mind, this 16th day of June. 18 ,I,Delia Rogerson Clement do hereby leave one hundred dollars to eachofmy cousins and I bequeath the residue of my property viz, :thirty thousand dollars invested in the Ingot Mining Company, fifty thousand dollars in United States bonds', twenty thousand in Fortune Flan nel Mills, and my jewels, to the beloved niece of my first husband, John Rogerson.

, VDelia did not open her house to boarders the next season, she found enough todo in looking after her'mpney and spending it ; in replying to letters from indigent people, who seemed to increase alarmingly; in receiving old friendsvwho suddenly found time to remember her existence. And, sure enough, among the rest appeared Steve Langdon, and all the village said: "I told you so." . 4It's not my fault that you and I are single yet, Delia," he said. t "And we are too old to. think of a change now, Steve." "Nonsense! "It's never too late to mend. "I'm not rich, Delia, but I've

rime Minister. Archer's regular fees

are $25 for the mount if he wins, $.15 if he loses and $10 for a trial. These fees are tho smallest part of his income,

notwithstanding that he rides in a vast number of races every year. In 1S75, he won 172 races; in 1S77, he won 207; in 1S7S he won 21S; in 1879, 197, and in 1830, 120. He has not riddeu so many horses during the last two years on account of a savage bite fiom Muley

ms

for several months. The fees for races

are insignificant, compared to the presents made to him by owners. of the

horses he has ridden. . Gold , watches, diamond rings, ridiug horses, dog carts, yachts, suits of clothes! hats, cases of champagne, etc., are quite common. Money gifts accompany these smaller testimonials of gratitude. He

got $5,000 from Mr. brir win-

nine: the Derby, and Mr. Keene is to

give Fordham $2,500 for winning the Grand Prix of. Paris.. Still larger sums

than' these have been given. The jockey who won the Derby ten years

ago with Hermit was presented - wich 15,000, The polic of paying such sums to jockeys has been much criti

cised, but the amount .of money at stake is so large that it is thought wise to protect the jockey against corrupt

offers. Archer has only to ride his appointed horse. He keeps a valet to assist him in changing his dress. He travels from one race meetiug to another in a first-class carriage, probably the companion of the noblemen by whom he is employed. In winter he rides to hounds, or rides to town. In 1876 he is reported to have earned $60,000. The customs of to-day in the matter of regarding jockeys are in contrast with those of half a century ago. John Day was a chief jockey in his time and won the two great races in one year. The Duke, of Grafton, his master, sent for him and said: "John Day, I am going to make you a present for the manner in which you have rid-? den my horses this weeK. I am about to give you $20 in bank notes." This was a handsome present for those days, when a successful jockey, if a married man, was generally given a side of bacon,, a bag of potatoes or a barrel of home- brewed ale and his usual wages. Then horse-riders were grooms rather than jockeys.

Another Mormon Horror Salt Lake Tribuue. A few days since the substance of the complaint in the case of Raleigh vs. Raleigh, was published, and yesterday a Tribune reporter had the privilege of a short talk with the petitioner in the suit, Mrs. Elizabeth Raleigh. The latter is an intelligent

life and Mormon

wedded bliss.

Mrs. Raleigh's story is like that of a great many of the women who have married into the church. She first went into Mr. Raleigh's family asa nurse to his former wife, who. was on a bed of sickness from which She never rose. She declined to accept" the proposals of marriage, when first made, but in obedience to the mandate of Heber C. Kimball, then one of President Young'srcounselors, and to whom disobedience was worse than contempt of court, she at length acceded. Her honeymoon was not a particularly bright one, but she took upon herself the care of her husband's ebildrnn by his first wife, and was a mother to them during many years that followed. She was allowed to work all she

pleased, and sometimes more, from the

beginning, and as stated m the con

plaint aided in every way to build up

he fortune of her lord and master. As

a specimen of what was expected of

her, one instance may be related alone.

Shortly after their marriage one of the cows died, down in the pasture... lot in

the edge of the town, it was supposed

roni having m some way ieeome

poisoned. She was sent with a Danish

boy to skin the body, which they did,

and Mrs. Raleigh carried the hide to the house over her shoulders, her hus-

oand, meantime, standing by with &

men duster on and walking- cane in

his hand, superintending the work.

In the course of time nev wives

were added to the household, tbe num

ber eventually reaching eighx, and at on e period six of them oceu py i ng on e

house, and workirg and eating togeth

ed to earn a living, and if they wanted

anything special in the wayiof cloth

ing, etc., they bought it tliemseives from money made at washing or otherwise. The head of the .'uousehcld bought his supplies by the quantity, and kept them under locit; and key, dealing them out with a spacing hand. He. was suspicious always! that his wives were try iug to rob hi nil, and on

Emma Abbot's Necklace. A necklace has recently come into Miss Abbott's possession. It once belonged to a noble French family, the oldest son of which was forced to iiee

the country on account of his debts of

honor. America was, of course, the

happy land uuosen by the festive

Frenchman to abide in until his Ires

passes were forgiven or forgotten. So,

oue hue day, he landed in New York

with his "hostages to fortun

shape of a wife and two small children :

but in spite of the hostages, fortune re

fused to smile upon his ventures in

speculation, and his first slip on the

ladder 01 aie seemed to make the descent so easy that he never paused until the owner of a bank he had broken forcibly persuaded him to do so bv running a knife in his side. The widow gave a sigh of mingled relief and sorrow, assumed modest mourning, and prepared to return to native land. Nobody hindered her; but on counting the little money left.

she found it not near enough to pay for the passage. From time to time during her husband's career every

article ot luxury and value had been

parted with to purchase the necessaries

of life. Only oue remained, and that she could hardly think of as possible to sell a diamond necklace, an old heirloom in her husbaud's familyone that his mother and ber mother before her had clasped round their white necks 011 their wedding day and she, too, had worn it when fresh fromjher convent life, dressed in her bridal robes, Henry de Marchand had clasped it about her throat and saluted her playfully as Madame. But at that time no wires stretched across the broad Atlantic. Messages ot love and enmity, death aud disaster, came slowly over the water instead of dashing 1?!.-' the wires: so the widow fplirc

"peal for help and receive a response,

sained out to get what she could for

the necklace. Store after store was visited, and after being regarded with suspicion, and offered a mere pittance for the ornament, she was about to return home, when the thought struck her that perhaps she might get some one in Tiffany's to look at it. She bravely retracted her steps, entered the store, and, opening the well-vorn ease, commenced once more her story, but this time in the hearing of a superblydressed woman, who advanced as the widow was about to display the necklace and asked to see it. The diamonds were fine, well cut, and the setting good, the shopman said, after a careful examination. Without another word the lady invited the owner of the necklace to drive to her husband's office, and the upshot of it all was that a wealthy banker, with love in his heart and money in his pocket, paid the anxious widow 525,000 for the glittering ornament. That necklace has nestled in soft laces and shone on blaek velvet at many a ball since then ; but one fine day fortune took it into her .,. head that" she was growing too idle, gave her fateful wheel a turn, and behold the owner of the necklace as poor as the sister wo

man from whom she had once bought it. And so it came to pass that Mr. Wetherell, out of the depth . of his affection and purse, bought and presented to this bright, particular prima donna the diamond necklace.

The ornament is composed of three

hundred and hfty-seven diamonds, made first into , plain chain set in square blocks of gold. Through the center of this runs a large coir of the precious stones, supplemented by other

coils diminish ins in size, and from

their lower edge falls a shower of

pendants, long and swinging, giving,

when on. the effect of a rope ofhre

around the throat, radiating in every direction. This is worn with a heavy diamond cross, in which the gems are

of unusual size

upon his marrow-bones in propria persono. Generally speaking, he did that by proxy. Though he paid court arduously aud daily inperson, the Bourbon prince sent a formal demand, try his

chamberlain. For, though a "Prince"

may have no cash, as long as he can

borrow money he keeps up a petty

court, and. of course, must have his

chamberlain. Tbe salary of the latter

was probably m profcipectu to bo pan:

out of the "Cherry Sectoral" money

when won.

On one occasion, when this deputy

came to ask the haiid of Miss Ayer in

marriage, or rather to inform that

vonus: lady that his HitrlmeHs tho

Prince. A do Bourbon proposed

to coi: fer upon her, a plain untitled

American, the boner of his name and high-sounding title. Miss Ayer quite peremptorily refused: the honor. Where

upon Ihe chamberlain exclaimed : "Do

impossible. Put it in some other form,

I bet? of vou. Say you are unable to

accept or the houor offered vou. Any

thing: but a refusal. . The Prince is not

an ordinary man to be rejected in this

manner !" Notwitlistandme: the fer

vid eloquence of the chamberlain, Miss

Ayer did refuse his master squarely, peremptorily, and on more than one,

more than a dozen occasions. And I

say hurrah for the Yankee girl who had independence enough and uuflie-

ient good common sense to refuse to be

made the unworthy instrument of

paying the vulgar debts of a Bourbon

Prince! Fortunate! would it be for

many, very many daughters of rich

Americans if they would follow the example of Miss 'Aver. No girl .who

marries thus a man, placed by the silly usages of Continental society on a level much higher than that of a. wife, ever s ucceeds in being recognised as her husband's equal socially. It is true that he .may go where he goes, be invited lo the same house, meet the same people, but she is everywhere sneered at covertly and often openly by this high-toned set, as 'That plebeian Amei icaine whoso money paid off the gambling debts of Prince-so-and-so, or enabled the Couut.de X to pen

sion oil his pretty mistress.' There is

not a word of exaggeration in the

A' Lady's Bonnet with a BlushProducing Attachment. The London Telegraph has the fol

lowing: It is not every maiden, m

these prosaic days who can summon the "telltale blood", to her cheeks at will, or silently reveal, by an oppor

tune roseate ilush, those inward leei-

ings to which many young ladies experience such difficuly in giving verbal

expression. Jtsut as tne vaiue oi tne blush, as a highly effective weapon in the feminine armory, is still universally recognized by the sex, although it would appear to have fallen into desuetude. French ingenuity has been at the pains of devising a mechanical appliances for the instantaneous production of a fine natural show upon the cheek of beauty, no matter how constitutionally lymphatic or philosophically unemotional its proprietoress may be. This thoughtful contrivance is called "The Ladies' Blushing Bonnet," to the side ribbons of which those usually tied under the fair wearers chin are attached t wo tiny but powerful steel springs, ending in round pads, which are" brought to bear upon the temporal arteries by the action of bowing the head, one exquisitely appropriate to modest eaibarrassmen t, and by artilicially forcing blood into the cheek3 cause them to be suffused with "the crimson hue of shame" at a moment's notice. Should these ingenious head-coverings become the fashion among girls of the period, it will behoove "young men about to marry" to take a sly neep behind the bonnet-

strings of their blushing charmers im

mediately after proposing, in order to satisfy themselves that the heightened color, by them, interpreted as an involuntary admission of reciprocated affection, is not due to the agency of a carefully adjusted "blushing bonnet."

Refusing a Prince. Paris Correspondence San Francisco Bulletin About a year ago it was announced in all the leading papers of this city that Miss Ayer, only daughter and heiress to half of the many millions accumulated by Dr. J, C- Ayer, of Lowell, Mass., was soon to marry one of the Bourbons, a cousin of Bon Carlos of Spain. This particular Prince was one of the many impecunious

princes out of situations, who roam about Europe seeking whom they may devour, in the search of rich American ladies, whose fortunes may be utilized in paying the played-out noblemen's gambling debts. This noble Bourbon was passionately in love with the aforesaid lady's fortune, and did his utmost to capture it. He used to call every day regularly at the Continental Hotel, where she. aud her mother re sided, and, after being refused, would not take "No" for an answer, but still continued to plead for a share in the

A Cure by Imagination.

Cham oct's. Journal.

At a laree hotel the. not uncommon

dilemma arose of there being only one

room in the house vacant when two visitors required accommodations for the night. It was a dduble bedded

chamber, or was soon converted into such, aud the two guests who were

both commercial travelers agreed to

, (tll-V - .- IW'W -A W a confirmed hypocondriac, and greatly alarmed hi 5 companion by waking up in the 'middle of the night, gasping for breath. "Asthina," he panted out; 4,I am subject to these spasmodic Jittacks. Open, the window quickly. Give me air." Terrified beyond measure, tbe other jumped out of bed. But, the room was pitch dark; he had nojmatehes, and he had forgotten the position of the window. "For heaven's sake.be quick .'"gasped the invalid. 4CHve mo more air or Ishtdl choke to death!" At ledgth, by dint of, groping wildly and upsetting half the furniture in the apartment, the window was , found, but it

was an oia-iasmoneu casement, ana no hasp or catch was to be discovered. . 'Quick, quick! air, ah'!" implored the apparently dying man. "Open it, break it, or I shall, be suffocated !" Thus adjured his friend lost no time but, seizing a boou.smashed every pane and the sufferer immeaiately experienced great relief. "Oh, thank yon, a thousand thanks. Ha!" drawing deep sighs which testified to the great comfort he derived, ltI think in another moment I should have been dead!" A nd when he had sufficiently re

covered and had expressed his heart

felt gratitude, he described the intense distress of these attacks and the length of time he had guttered from them. After a while both fell asleep again, de

voutly thankful for the result. It was a warm summer night and they felt no

inconvenience irom the broken window; but when daylight relieved the pitchy darkness; of the night, the window was still found to be entire. Had invisible glaziers been at work already, or was the episode of the pant night only a dream? No, for the iioor was still strewn with the broken glass. Then, as ..they looked round the room in amazement, the solution of the mystery presented ibself in the shape of an antiquated book case, whose latticed glass doors were a shattered wreck.

The snasmodieaily attached one was J

cured from that moment. Plant Good 'Seeds. Prairie Farmer. However hackneyed the above caption may seem, it should never be lost siirht of when the time for planting any and all crops r rrives. It is a prime

factor in the profitable outcome of every crop, for ' upon it depends, in. large measure, the reasonable probability of securing fair returns for the time and toil necessary in all lines of field and garden husbandry. However careful many farmers and planters mav be. the fact, remains that there

are many others who are too indifferent to the quality of the :eed they, plant. Just at this time when a large n umber of persons are obtaining seed for spring crops;, a word upon the subject is not out of place; and this is es-. pecially pertinent in regard to seed corn. It is well known w that early frosts last fall in many parts of the central Western States seriously injured corn. The kernels on the upper side of the ears weie mt ch damaged, and such kernels if plant ed will do little more than start. Their vitality is not suflioent to grow. Those who saved seed corn before such early frosts Anil not be much disappointed, but if the frosted corn is used, much will have to be replanted. Better examine and try the corn saved for seed before planting it in the field. This may be done in the house, hy testing the seed in boxes of earth. In portions of Illinois and central Iowa we understand that

yery ntne oi cue corn raise u iasi year will be planted aud that farmers either intend to use corn for setd that was grown in 1879, or obtain seed , of last year s crop from localities where corn matured without injury. The importance, not only to the individual farmer, but to the aggregate value of any crop grown in this country, ought not to be lightly considered. Whatever the crop to which a farmer devotes auy portion of h is land, and however favorable may be the conditions for its growth, he may accept it as a stubborn fact that good seed is indispensable, If the highest result, the greatest amount of success and profit, are to bo obtained. A price may be charged for such seed that may seem exorbitant, but it should be recollect ed that he en an ot afford to use

poor and comparatively worthless seed, even if it costs him nothing. A Horrible Picture. Tho Herald, a newspaper published in Chili, contains tho following des

cription of one of tho most terrible

scenes witnessed during the war with the Peruvians.

The Peruvians fired from the private

houses at the iVIiraftore with the objeot

of 'driving them out. The Chuiaus an

plied tho torch. When the progress of

the llamas made it impossible for those

within to remain, the Peruviana began their exodus, and in their escape they looked like devils coining out of hell.

When they were out they had to meet

the enemy ','3 soldiers. who were watch

ing for them in order to shoot; thm down. Not a single one escaped. The corpses of die Peruvians were laid in

piles before the doors and walls of the burning house, and actually added Ifuel to tho conflagration , in progress. ., If any of the besieged was happy enough to escape from the place of the struggle he was son hunted tor and killed like

a rat,and sometimes several prisoners were kept alive by the Intervention of officers and commanders, and were put under the charge of a certain number

of soldiers, more to bo protected than with an object of being escorted. But as soon as any Chilian soldiers were slain or wounded by those who continued the struggle, the prisoners were formed in line and shot without mercy by ..those who were escorting them. At other times before setting fire to a house, they tried to blow up a part of it with torpedoes in order to reach the im mured Peruvians, and to kill every oue who could be found, without list ening to

their piteous appeals for mercy. While the commanding officer, Duyll, was exhorting several Peruvians who were sheltered in a building to surrender themselves, he was slightly wound

ed. It is impossible, says tne writer, to

give an idea of the fury with which

the Chilians were seized when they

saw the way m wnicn tne enemy

answered their proposition of a surren

der in order to save their lives. The

building was immediately set on fire, f ha Artist! i i4 aTM?i"o ft7ivfliin ct i)aT

could lay their hands on to assist the

flames. In a short time the building

was surrounded, and there was no es

cape left ror tnose wno were insiae. The smoke commenced to suffocate the prisoners before the fire had commenced its Work. In that situation

the Peruvians tried to find a way to free themselves from such a horrid

death, but every window, and every part of the building which oould have

afforded any chance of escape

was barricaded with' the corpses of those who had been butchered. '.Many

of the unfortunate Peruvians became

crazy, and many tried to tree tnem-

selves from such a death by crossing the fire which surrounded the building

but in vam. Others jumped from the

op of th-a burning buildings into the

street to meet death at the hands of

the Chileans, who threw those who

were alive into the fire.

A Million Wifeless Y oung Men. Contrary to expectations and prece

therefore stands to reason that not only is the genus old maid doomed to iapeedy extinction, but also that nearly a mil" lion of the young men of America will have to go wifeless unless each can raise the price of a ticket to Europe and

Kow York Times. If the official returns of the coffee trade are to be trusted and presumably, they are not greatly in error the coffee consuming public of this country has been for a long time past very much deluded. There are a multitude of people in this part of the world who are laboring under the belief that the beverage which they drink at breakfast and, possibly after dinner, is Mocha: coffee. Their grocer t ells them that the article he sells is ''pure Mocha," and they have no means ot knowing that he is deceiving them, if, indeed, he has not been deceived himself. Some, with a peculiar fastidiousness, insist upon havingja mixture, and want onehalf or one-third Java cofiee a request which the grocer seemingly complies with: that is, he takes the coftee from two separate compartments, Now, the last comoleted returns of the coffee production" of the world are made up to the yea.r 1878. In that year the estimated growth was 1,082,112,500 pounds of which Brazil produced 497,127,300 pounds, or nearly one-half. Next came the Butch East In dian possessions, where t he crop

amounted to 201,509,200 pounds; while Ceylon, South Africa and the West Indies furnished nearly all' the rest. Arabia, it is true, appears on .the list, but its total growth, the Mocha district and the rest of the country combined, was oply about 4,500,000 pounds that is, not quite of 1 per cent, of the growth of the world. When it is considered that coffee is extensively used . in Arabia, that Mocha comes within the possessions of Turkey, a country peopled with coffee drinkers, and that we have no direct communication with Arabia, one may hesitate before he accepts the current Mocha fiction of the grocer. It is highly probable that not 10,000 pounds

of the article are brought into this country in the course of a year, an amount that would not furnish a day's supply for the inhabitants of tins city. We all, of course, know the llavor of Mocha coffee, and hence can not be deceived, though in reality probably not one in a . thousand of us ever tasted it

An Accommodating Road. Detroit Free Press. Several days ago a s tranger made his appearance at the Union Depot and asked officer Button how long before the Grand River Valley train wonla go out. 1 .', "Jn about twenty minutes," was the reply. "Then I'll have time to get a drink, won't I?" .: - "You will." . "That's good,I always prefer to travel on a stiff horn of whisky." He returned in five minutes, wiping his mouth on the back of his hand,and asked: - ; VHas my train gone yet?" No sir, you still have fourteen minutes to spare." "That's good, and I guess I'll go back for a-little brandy.,' V When he again returned he felt in good spirits, and, ascertaining that he still had six minutes to spare he said: "Now, that is what I call liberal,and I'll lay in one more drink?" The last one proved more than he could bear up under, and he was not seen again for three hours. Then he came round with a wabble in his gait and an uncertain look in his eyes and asked "Shay, what time does that Gran River Valley train go out?" : .

"In about four hours." "Fo' hours? Why, that'll give me time to get drunk again; mos' commodatin' railroad I ever saw, eh?". 'Yes" : "Shay 1 I doan' want to be mean.

The Fox Sisters. A reporter has seen and talked with Mrs. Marfiaret Fox-Kane,' whose history is an eventful one. One ofthe Fox sisters, who developed tho Rochester knock tugs thirty years ago and who afferward married Elisha Ken Kane, the Are tic explorer, now lives in retired quiet, Still pursuing her spiritism for bier own ana the benefit of her immediate friends. The reporter, who met her at a private house of a friends in Brooklyn, says she has a flight figure, dressed in black, good lookiug, , with" 1 landsonie eyes ami pretty hair; But her face has a tired look, and its expression i$ not a happy one. She drew her chair up beside ner guests, and instantly there were raps heard on, 'the floor and under the chair on .which she sat. The several' ques tions put as to the personality of spirits were replied to intelligently, and in a few moments she was' the medium of a written communication from Charlotte Bronte. The reporter says Mrs. Fox-kaue impressed him as a lonely, soul-sick woman, wishing with all her heart that she had never known the power which bas not made her any the happier for Mm possession ana which does not yield her any adequate return for all the sorrows she has borne in her strange life. A family of young ladies who reside in this city so often entertain their company on the the front stoop that they have gained the title of step-sis-i;ers.

Esthotics. '' ' Brooklyn, Eaglo. "Are you esthetic?' inquired a New Haven young lady of a Brooklyn girl, as the two sat down to a dish of Med clams in a Fulton-street restaurant. "I guess so," replied the Brooklyn girl vaguely. ' "Why do you ask?" "'Cause it's so terribly, awfully the thing. We're . all esthetic at home. Everybody is jand youdon't know how we enjoy it!" "Is it- is it very expensive ?V queried the Brooklyn girl, feeling her way. "It comes rather high, but it . is so essential. I haven't felt so well since I left school as I have since being esthetic. You don't know how . much I've gained?" . "What's the nature of it? -How do you take it?" : "Oh.you sit around and be excessive

and when anyone speaks to you, you glare at 'em and say 'How quick I'Then you shut your eye.'-, aud breathe hard. They say it's very healthy."; "Can 'you do it all alone?" "Oh, gracious, no!

At home W3 commenced with clothespins to represent gentlemen, and bandoline bottles for the ladies. Then we joined the association and licked 'em all." I had an idea that esthetio meant the pleasurable sensations that arise from a gratification of artistic appreciation," explained the Brooklyn., girl, timidly. , 4 '" "Merciful goodness, no! On the contrary, it means the absence of taate. Yrou mustn't have any taste. Ysbu must only be utter." v "Howdoyou fetch that?"

The scheme of colonizing Liberia with negroes from America originated some sixty years ago, the Americau Colonization Society sending out thenemigrants in 1820, "Short sighted phhS anthropists expected through it & solution ofthe American slavery Question.

and also the' evangelization of western" Africa. The American negroes inereas-' ed much more rapidly, however, than thev could be transnorted. even if sla

very had not been 'a serious obstacle to emigration, and many of those whoi

started to Liberia died on tho way or soon after arriving there; The experiment has; assumed more and: more of an Utopian phase, with spasmodic

leases of life, as interested persons of some influence have seen fit to associ

ate themselvs with it .; or speak in its

favor. In espouse to the printed

statement of Secretary Coppinger of ,

the American Colonization Society. ' which would create the impression .

that Liberia is the promised land tot

which American SLnecrroes should fly,

George R. Stetson, of Boston,publishea t counter assertions, backed up by the testimony of travelers, missionaries! . and others. From these it seems 20 of 5 the 86 colonists sent out in 1820,and 37 ? of the 149 emigrants in 1851 died before j they had been in Afri a year; up to 5 1859 the Colonisation Society had sent out 10,000 emigrants at an expense of , $1,800,000, one-half of whomfhave died ; or left the country. In 1847, when the Republic was formed, the Africans from America numbered 5,000 and the aborigines 150,000, while in 1878 the figures were respectively 19,000 and 701,000. It is safe to concluded, therefore, that the Republic is unhealthy ;f or American negroes, at least. Slavery is also found in liberia under slu system of"apprentlceship,,or"iayoluatary eervitude,'1' which the authorities can not destroy. William Nesbit,an2nT ;

The government entirely in the hands of colored peo-r v pie, is marked with incapacity,! cor , ruption, mismanagement and disaster. An English writer, Keith Johnson, an . excellent authority ou African matteis, said in 1872 : 4 'In place of having exercised a civilizing influence on the ; natives, the American negroes seem' only to have relapsed into barbarism: The schools are in a most deplorable condition v morality at a low ebb, and ; the people generally, oppressed withi i heaT taxes, are lazy and iadolent,; y The Liberia College, established by ; Christian philanthropists from Boston ; and elsewhere some years ago, is a
