A little old horse, with hair six inches long on his legs, a country maid "pung" and a funny old wo man about fifty years old as driver and sole passenger, halted near the Soldier's Monument Saturday morn ing. The driver got out, kicked her feet against the sleigh to get up a circulation of blood, and beckoning to a small boy, she asked : "Bub, don't you want to watch my rig while I do some trading around ?", "How much ?" he cautiously in quired. "I'm willin' to give two cents," Bhe replied. "Pass on tor the next poor or phan," he said as he fell back. "I jist bad an offer of fifteen dollars an hour to paint theater scenery, and the drop to two cents knocks me out o' breath." "WtlL, that's all I'll give," grim ly replied the old lady. "Iu fact, I've kinder concluded to lot 'em stand right here without any watch ing fall. You can run rite along home, bub." Iu the back end of the "pung" was a roll of rag carpet, and, after looking at it flvo or six different times, to see that it was all there, the woman walked down the street to a grocer's. To the clerk who ad vanced to wait on her she said: "I'd like to see the owner." "Back there," he replied, pointing to the office, and she went back to the circular office, and peered through the cash-window at the man behind the wire netting. "Are you the owner ?" she asked, trying to get her head into orifice. "Yes'm—yes'm. What is it ma'am!" "I've got forty yards of beaut iful r?g carpet out here, and ." "I dou't want it," he interrupted. "Just forty yards by the tape-line," she went on, "and the beautifulest colors you ever saw." "I'm not in want of any such •- thing, ma'am." "But you haven't seen it yet. It aiu't one of the hit-and-miss hum bugs, but a reg'lar set pattern, with the loveliest red and blue you ever saw. I cut and sewed every rag, •dyed 'em myself, wove the whole thing, and I think it's a leetle the best job ever- turned out iu Wayne county." "Yes—but— but—nothing of the sort wanted to-day, ma'am." "I wish you'd como out here where I can see you," she observed as she felt for her spectacles. "I can't talk to any one onless 1 look 'em in the eye. I've already hurt my eyes trying to tell whether you have red hair or are bald headed." He sat down without replying, and, after a vain effort to draw him out, she drew on her mittens and said: "W&al, you don't seem to want, it, but if you feel bad when you see that carpet being carried off by some one else jist remember that I offer ed you the first chance," She went out and entered a hard ware store. The clerk skipped be hind the counter, and asked if she would have anything, but she look ed at him in a lofty manner, waved her hand, and replied: "I know all about nails and flat irons and tin pans, and when I want anything in that line I'll ask for it. I want to see the owner." lie sat be3ide the stove in the cen ter of the store, and the old lady stood before him and said: "I've got the beautifulest, sweet est thiDg in reg carpets that you ever saw, and, being as I'm going to lilinoy this summer, I want to give you a bargain." ' Thanks, but 1 don't wish to in vest," he replied. "You haven't seen it vet. Come ont to the sleigh and let me show you the pattern. It isn't a scrub carpet, got up to dupe the unwary und defraud the innocent-, but a leg'lar sot pattern. I selected the warp "I've all the carpets I want," he answered. "I'm glad if you are well rigged out," she went on, "but if you want to blossom out a little this spring get your nose up in big society a little—this carpet is just what you want. It's gorgeous. It ? 3 grand. There's jist forty yards, and "And I dorr't want it, madam.' 1 "iVell, you needu't have it then, but rvrTii J/3 boat/ gk y-o-qr lije. You jist ought to seo this carpet under the light. The other night. I spread it cut, lit four cindies, and it seemed as if 1 had been tranapos- Ed into A King's parlor. All the delicate shades worked right out in harmony, jist as they do in a ehro rneo, and I could almost imagine that I was wandering in the modder among the clover blossoms. So you think you don't want this sevon-ply fast colors, full width carpet ?" 14 l gupss not.'' "Waal, you know jist how liard up you are better than I do, and I won't persist on you. I never want to bo the means of enticing anybody into buying nice things and bust ing J em up in business." She tried five stores iu succession, and, failing in each case, she grew discouraged, an! returned to the "pung." There were several boys playing around it, and she cuffed them away in a hurry, calling out: "It's curus how wethers will let their offsprings canter around like bands of roaring lions, but thoy musn't fool around me 1" She was gazing fondly at the roll of carpet, when along came one of those men who buy bottles, lead pipe, paper-rags, etc., aud he asked: "Ish dot for sale?" "It is, though I know I'll feel like death to drive home without it," she replied. "There's jist for ty yards there, and a sweeter, beau tifuller pattern was never seen." "How niueb ?'* lie asked. "Well, I've kinder made up my mind to take seventy cents a yard." The man grasped the bundle, cut the string, and, with a fling, be opened out seven or eight yards to inspection. "That's a leetle familiar," she re marked, "but r.ow that it's uurolled I'll ask if you ever saw anything more gorgeous ? Jist perceive that delicate blue, made of my son John's army overcoat. Look at that bound ing but yet subdued red, made from a flannel undershirt which hadn't seen but three wiuters wear. See that ." "I gif two shillings a yar-ad," be interrupted. "I'd like to see von !" "I gif thirty cent." "You slam right along, mister, for I didn't like your actions a bit," she replied as she rolled up the car pet. It's airly in the day yet, but if t'was midnight, and I was dying for a stick of gura, I'd say seventy cents a yard as long as my breath lasted 1" About mid-afternoon she was seen m a Jefferson aveuue score, and was overheard to say: "I'll pay the cash for live cents, worth of logwood and take the car pet back hu in; also, two cents worth of alum !" A MAX BI'RIED IS A WKLL. Entombed for Tvtnty firo Honrs —Got Ont Alive Without Serious luj ury. A startling event, says the Ro chester (Iowa) Post, occurcd at the place of XI. Henry Ahneman, a thrifty and well-to-do farmer, re siding about four miles north of Pine Island, in the edge ot Goodhue county. The particulars of this ex citing and thrilling affair were giv en us by a responsible gentleman, and are substantially as follows : A well eighty-five feet deep had been sunk on Mr. Ahneman\s premi ses, and finding no water it had been decided to abandon tho well and fill it up. From a point about forty feet below the surface, curbing had been used, on account of the loose and sandy character of the earth. On the morning in question a young man, son of Mr. Ahneman, and the hired man, were engaged in filling up the well and removing the curbing, so it could be hauled up and saved for other uses. Some fif teen feet of the well had already been filled, making the distance from the top to where Ahneman was at work about seventy feet. About eight o'clock the sand and loose earth began falling, at a point some eight or ten feet above Ahne- head, and instantly he was literally buried under eight feet of solid wet earth. At this time the hired man at the ton of the well, was the only man or boy on the premises, Mr. Ahneman, the father, haying gone to Pine Is land on business. The hired man sued to that village, and finding Mr. Ahneman, related to him the terrible news. A number of men were soon gathered on the scene of the disas ter. No one supposed that the un fortunate man was alive; to bring out the dead body for Christian burial, it is thought, was all which could be done, and arrangements were made to that effect. It was de cided to sink new curbing inside of the old, and for this lumber had to be drawn from Pine Island. In the heighth of excitement and utter terror of mind and confusion of ideas and plans, it was three o'clock in the afternoon before work was commenced in the well. The great difficulty was to find men who were willing to risk their lives in going down into the well. A young son of Mr. Ahneuiau and the hired man, together with a cou ple of experienced well-diggers from y.in.o Island whore wo con Id not learn, volunteered, each two at a time, to undertake the perilous task. Thus arranged, work was kept up until 11 o'clock at night, supposing they Were near the imprisoned man, called to him, and they were over joyed to hear him answer. ile stated that his position wits not ex tremely painful: he could breathe freely; ho could stand it for a couple of days, and implored them to keep to work. The workmen now redoubled their efforts and at four o'clock in the morning the head of the young man was reached, and a physician being present, administered to him some stimulant. At about nine o'clock in the morning young Ahneman was relieved from his frightful and dang erous position and drawn out to life and daylight again, having been under ground at that fearful depth about twenty-live hours. So slight were his injuries that he walked, un assisted, from the well to Mia lit use. II is escape from almost instantan eous death was indeed providential and marvelous. Iu handling the curbing at the bottom of the well he had placed several pieces with one end resting on a projecting stone, the other leaning against the oppo site side of the well, aud at the moment of the sand slide, he hap pened to be standing directly under tho friendly, though unconscious, j shelter. One hand rested on the I side of tho well; the other was I caught and held in a position by his j side. A space some two feet in ex tent about his bead gave h'ui a | chance to breathe. lie must have j been unconscious during a largo share |of the time, as when lie was taken out, he insisted that he lmd not been down in the well more than one hour. It might be proper to add that Mr. Alinemau, the father, in recog nition of the kind and earnest effort of the men from Pine Island in sav ing his boy, presented them each with a first class suit of clothes. He also gave the faithful hired man a clear title to eighty acres of land. —Detroit Free Press. An exchange makes the follow ing observations: Since the law al lows every married woman to con trol her own money and property she may have at the time of mar riage, or that she may afterward ac quire by inheritance, every married woman should refuse to part with her lawful right to own and control her own means. There are thousands of women in the land to-day who in herited or otherwise acquired means that would have been a help and a blessing to them if kept under their own control, but, which having boon lost or sqandered by their husbands, they are now in low circumstances and even in destitution. A woman should always keep control of, oral least a firm hold on her own money or property, so that if misfortune overtakes her husband she may have something she can safely fall back ou in her hour of trail and tribula tion. We could point out a dozen of such unfortunate women in a small circle, anil such is the case all over the land. With coufidence in their husbands during seeming pros perity, they gave them every dollar. Now neither has a dollar, and some have families to rear at a time when they cau least afford it. We there fore caution every woniau in the land not to part with the title to her own money and property, but to hold it in safe keeping for a "rainy day." We hope to see this article in every newspaper in tho land. Xonc Like lilm. There are a few mean men in De troit, but they came here from the East, and as a rale they do not tar ry long. The regular Detroiter is a good man, and if he has a family he is still better, as can be shown every day in the week. At the Detroit & Milwaukee depot yesterday as a lady was about to get aboard the train, she said to tho mm who was loaded down with her parcels: "Now, while I'm gone you must take up and beat all the carpets and lay them again." "Of course," he replied. "And polish all the windows, rub off tho furuiture and repaiut the front steps." "1 will, dear." "And you must rake off the yard, make some flower-beds, fix the alley fence and black all the stoves before you pack them away." t "Of course, darling," he smiled. "And you must send mo 820 per week, write to me daily, and. the neighbors will watch to see if you are out aftei eight o'clock in the eve ning. Now, then, good-bye." "O'l 1 darling, how can I spare you !"he sighed, the engine groan ed, aud away she went, and as he turned to go out his mental distress was so great that he fell over a trunk, barked his shins aud rubbed half the skin off his nose. .. THE WIFE. —It is astonishing to see liovv well a man in ly live oil a small income, who has a handy and industrious wife. Some live and make a far better appearance on six or eight dollars per week than others do on fifteen or eighteen dollars. The man does his part well, but his wifols gjort for nothing; she will oven upbraid her husband for not living in as good stvle as her neigh bor, while the fault is entirely her own. llis neighbor has a noat, capable and industrious wife, and Hint makes the difference So look out, young men, before you go into matrimony. It is a lottery—in which most men can only buy one ticket—and if that turns out a blank your whole life had better be a blank, too. Luckily, no one reed go into the wedded state with his eyes shut, as in the case with lotteries —aud we judge all wlioare sensible enough to use their optics, may draw prizes. Fretting.; One fretter can destroy tho peaco of a family, can disturb the harmouy of a neighborhood, can unsettle tlie councils of cities, and hinder the leg islation of nations, lie who frets is never the one who memls, who heals, who repairs evils; more, ho discour ages, enfeebles, and too often disa bles those around him, who, but for the gloom and depression of his company, would do good work and keep up bravo cheer. The effect upon a sensitive person in the mere neighborhood of a fretter is inde scribable. It is to the soul, what a cold, icy mist is to the body—more chilling than the bitterest storm. And when the fretter is one who is beloved, then the misery of it be comes indeed insupportable. An editor of a newspaper having been xvritteu to for information as to the best iuode of breaking replied as follows: "If only one ox, a good way would be to hoist him by means of a long chain at tached to his tail, from the ground. Then hoist him by a rope tied to his liorusto another polo. Tkenjla sceud on to his back a live ton pile driver; and if that fails' to break him, let him start a country news paper and trust people for subscrip tions. One of the two ways will do it."
