M illy Harry and .1 osif King served at opposite counters of a great dry-goods J and millinery emporium. That was ! how they made acquaintance in the j first place—nodding and smiling at ( each other in the intervals of serving ! customers. When they came to speak ing, and by easy stages to the innocent confidence of their age they found they were companions in so many ways— , each being orphaned, poor, lonely and veiy .sociable—it was natural that they should presently exchange vows of e ternal friendship. They then hired a little room togeth' er, paid equal parts of its humble rent, and went partners in their frugal house keeping expenses ; and when they drank their coffee and ate their Vienna roll opposite each other, across a dainty little table they felt as if they had a home once more. M illy was a fair, pleasant-looking girl, with soft blue iyes, brown hair, and a fresh red-and white complexion ; Josie was tall, slight, dark and pale, with glossy black hair and large, dark brown eyes—a very handsome girl, as was often rem irked by ladbs when she served them, with a rather queenly air. The girls were a direct contrast, in personal appearance—another reason for their attraction toward each other. Mill and Josie had not large salaries —the firm which employed them was not remarkabb for generosity ; quick sales, small profits and very small sal aries was the rule,in the "great empor ium." However, by dint of incessant econ omy, and by reason of sharing expen ses, Mllly and Josie contrived to put aside a small sum weekly toward a lit tle fund for a great Thanksgiving cele bration. They were both New England girls, and in their childhood's days that day had ever been one of great rejoicing and much merrymaking in the homes that lernained nnv only as a beau tiful and hallowed memory. But for once they determined to make it as much of a j lyous reality as the flight of years and the loss of friends and relatives would allow. They laid out in imagination quite a sumptuous entertainment ; and on counting up their savings a few days before the festiye occasion, and find ing that they amounted to the magnifi cent sum of ten dollars,both girls felt justified in inviting a few fiiends to help them eat their turkey. Mrs. Hobson, their landlady.promis ed to roast the noble bird, and asked permission to contribute a mince and a pumpkin pie ; while the girls them selves undertook the cooking of the cranbery sauce and vegetables on their own tiny gas stove—for each felt tnat half the fuo of the entertainment would be lost unless they personally superin tended a portion or the cooking. The grat dav approach d.and it was Thanksgiving Eve, and of course their marketing had to be done after store hours, for neither had been able to get leave of absence during the day-time, the empoiium being more than ussually thronged because of the corniug holi day. "Come, Josie !" called Millv, from the door of their room, as she drew on her neat gloves, Josie having stepped a cross the hall for a moment to ask their rheumatic neighbor, just opposite, whether they could do her any service while they were out shopping. "Yes, dear," JosL answered. "Go on, Milly— I will overtake you at the door." Milly went on, as directed, very leis urely. and buttoning her gloves as she decrnded the stairs. When she reached the lower ball, she waited for Josie before opening the door. Minute after minute passed, and growing impatient, she amused herself bv drumming with the lips of her flu gers on the banisters. Five minutes pissed, and, with a slight exclamation, she ran half way upstairs agaiu. "Come, Josie—it is getting late p sire called out, as she retraced her steps. "We wMI find nothing w< fJ buying." "Oh, dear, dpar !" responded Josie, in a voice of mingled distress and per plexity. Milly hurried up the remaining stair, and hastened into their room. Josie was wildly searching about the apartment, moving table, chairs, beau reau—even the bed—in a state of utter despair and bewilderment . Milly could not repress a slight laugh, her friend looked so wildly anxious and distressed, for no apparent cause. "What in the world is the matteiV ' Have you lost anything I" * Any thing ? everything ! M Was the A PAPER FOR THE HOME CIRCLE tragic reply, with an appi opriate tone and gesture. "The money ! Our ton dollars is gone 1" "Good gracious !—but is it possi ble !" Milly gasped for breath, and sank into the nearest chair, with even great er despair written on her countenance than had just given IHB to her merri ment when she saw it depicted on her fiiend's face. But Josie didn't laugh. The situation was far too serious for her too see any comic phase of it. "So I thought, too,when I first miss ed it ; but I have searched every corner of the room, every iudi of the carpet, every Impossible and possible place, and the appalling fact becomes more convincing—the money is gone 1" Again and again every article in the room was moved out of its place, and every likely and unlikely nook and crevice searched, but without success. Occasionally a remark was m ade by one or the other of the girls, and ab sently replied to ; and still the search went on, until, tired out, they both sat down and despairingly removed bonnet, jacket and gloves. There was now no occision for going out ; the merry marketing to which they had looked forward with so much pleasure, was no longer possible. Instead, they must find some way of sending word to their invited guests that foreseen their little festivity. Josie was quite heartbroken,blaming heistdf fr her earelessnes ; and though Milly tried to comfort Ler, she could *:ot help thinking that she would have been more careful of the treasure they had so leng and so faithfully striven for. And, to make everything worse, an unmistakable, though indescribable, coldness sprang up between these warm friends. "You and Josie h ing are not such fiiends as you used to be," remarked a second acquaintance to Milly Barry, soma weeks later. The speaker w;.s Kate Weeks, one ot the party who had been Invited to the Thanksgiving dinner which never took place ; and the young girls chanced to be talking to gether for a few moments during the biief noontime. "No, we arth our minds—not that either of us really suspejts the other of taking the money—that would be ira p issible—but we are both miserable from feaiing that we suspect each oili er, and we have neither of us the cour age to come to an explanation. The idea of such a thing seems so unuttera bly mean ! Oh,dear ! I had rather have lost ten thousand dollais than have given way to the wicked thoughts and doubts forced on me by the loss of that wretched ten." A young man,who was passing along the crowded aisle of the great empor ium at that m -merit, chanced to over hear these words ; for, in her excite ment, Milly raised her voice, and spoke with great distinctness. Ttiis young man looked at her with marked attention, and before he lift the store be bad, by much persevei auce, and by assuming his most engaging manner, adroitly managed to ascertain Milly's name, and also her place of res idence, without either giving offense or subjecting himself to a snubbing for his curiosity. That evening, Josie and Milly were much staitied by the receipt of a card sent up by a gentleman who hau asked for them both, aud was now wailing in the parlor. "Say we will come down," seid Jo sie to the gaping maid-of-all- work, who evidently shared their amazement, for neither Miss Barry nor Miss King bad ever leceived a masculine visitor before si. ce taking up their abode iu those lodgings. "Albert Merton," Josie read from the card, as the door closed behind the servant. "I know of no such persm. It must be some friend of yours, Mil ly." "No,indeed 1 I never heard the gen tleman's name before. But it's a very pretty name. Suppose we go and see if the owner is worthy of his name." Both girls hastened to the parlor.and a tall, good-looking, elegant young man, "quite as pretty as his name," Milly, subsequently remarked, rose to meet them. "Miss Barry," he bowed to Milly, "and Miss King," he bowed to Josie, "I trusr you will not consider this an intrusion when I explain that I come to return something belonging to you both which had ciiauce to get into my possession." "Impossible, I think 1 We have lost nothing—at least I have i And Jdste WWatfd Milly. "Nor I 1" le died that young lady, emphatic illy. "Are you quite sine ? ' smiled the visitor. "A certain ten-doll,it lull was blown in my face by a stray gust of wind lust Thanksgiving Ere, just as I was passing this house.and I have been on the lookout tor the owner ever since. Something I chanced to over near to d ty led me here " "A ten-dollar bill V" bath giils ex claimed at once. And Milly added, in self-reproach : "The wind w was open, Josie. I stepped across the room to close it. a.id I never remeuji ered it afterward. How wrong of me ! It would have explain ed everything." And without a word more, both girls rushed toward each other,and exchang ed a fervent embrace. Mr. Merlon smiled and seemed to uudeistand, although neither of the girls remembered his presence just then. "But it may not be our., ten dollars after all." "That is easily tested," said Josie. "T exchanged our money for the bill at the store that day ; and having my pencil in hand at the time, I wrote on the hack it our initials, I M. and J. \ inclosed in a circle.' "And here it is I" laughed young Me-ton, taking a crisp note from Irs pocket, and smoothing it out, so that the mark was plainly visible on the le vers? side. "S> like you, Josie," said Millfr, tak ing possession of Ihe money. "I shall take care of't this time." Josie made no answer,but her quick, artistic eye, noted the strong, white, well shaped hand on which the bill had rested ; and some how the look of ad miration was caught by the dark, blue eyes of the owner of that hand. Josie King blusi.ed violently, and looked so handsome that Albert M er tn instinctively utteied an exclama tion. "Oh, Miss King.you will forgive me, I know 1" he explained. "But I am an artist, and at that moment the turn of your head and the expression of your face, just realized the ideal I have b-cn engaged on. It is a charming subject—if you would only grant me the privilege of a silting to sketch your head " Milly dfscrpetly withdrew to a dis tance, and pretended to examine the recovered ten-dollar bill. Josie did not grant the young artist's r*ques immediately ; but her refusal was not of a character to render him hopeless. She subseqently repented of hei lack of amiability so far thatshe granted Albert Merton innumerable sittings ; and, in the course of the next six months, his studio teemed with sketches of Josie King's b-autiful head and face; in fact, tie occupied her spare time &o exclu sively. and found her so invaluable as a mod* !, that they agreed to enter into a life-! ng partnership ; and on the wedding day, Milly, who officiated as hrid-smaid, slipped the identical ten dollar bill into Josie's hand, and whis pered : "Have it framed and put in a glass case, dear. You see our loss was a great gain in the end." The President's Experience. President Arthur and a few friends were enjoying the air and their cigars on the veranda of the White House one afternoon last week when the conver sation turned on the experiments re cently made by a French phyaici ia on the head of a murderer immediately af ter the execution. "The French scientist is of the opin ion that the hsad retains consciousness for several minutes after it was cut off," remarked -Gen. Sheridan, who had read a descriptiou of the experi ment. "Gentlemen," said the President, removing his cigar, "I know of a still more singular case. I decapitated, on the suggestion of Col. Ochiltree fiere, a colored Federal official down in Texas, and he made more noise after his head was off than be did before." "Was lie sensible for any length of time after his head was off?" asked one of the party. "I don't know whether I can say that he acted sensible or not, but it is a fact, that he retained sufficient con sciousness, four months after decapita tion, to cast thirteen votes for Jim Blaine at Chicago, first,last and all the time. Didn't he, Tom ?" Col. Och iltree blushed and was silent. —Texas Siftm ys.

Peculiarities of the Orientals Described Their Suporstitions and Their Un conquerable Fatalism—A Re porter in a Chinese Hos pital. Soon after the first batch of China men put in their appearance in New York they began to [surround them selves with heathen accessories to which they had been accustomed in San Francisco. Before three months had gone by they had several flourish ing opium dens, half a dozen "fan-ton'' games and lottery joints and a dozen stores for the sale of Oriental commo dities. Having provided for the a musements of their daily lives the moon-eyed strangers set up relations with the powers above, by establishing a Joss house, wherein they hang their prayers with commendable regularity and punctuality. Next they set about encompassing order by the founding of a Chinese law court, and lastly, and very recently they completed the social circle of Chinese life by opening a hos pital, or more properly, a house where in the sick may die without bothering their friends and relations. Chinamen are well known to be fatal ists. This trait in their national char acter makes Chinamen, who are other wise cowardly, meet death with the ut most stoicism. On the Pacific slope executions of Chinamen have been by no means unfrequent, and in no case has the victim of the law failed to march to the scaffold with the forti tude of an Indian. The belief that what is to be is to be, and no act of a person may avert a catastrophe, renders the healing art most difficult of application to Chinamen. Once John becomes re ally sick, he is pretty sure to die, be cause he gives up all hope, refuses to take medicines, and resigns himself stoically to the fate iq store for him. lie is superstitious,and places what lit tle faith he his in curatiyes not in drugs, hut i# queer amulets, funny hags, and nauseating liquids blessed by the priests. This superstition affects his relations,and once the hand of death is considered to have set its mark upon the sick man's saffron forehead he is an outcast. He is no more fit to remain in human habitation ; for should he die under the roof, all manner of ills will fall upon the inmates. Therefore he is hustled out to die. In San Francisco dying men .are often found upon the streets. Parents are as ruthlessly sac rificed, once their ailment is consider ed hopeless, as the ynriest stranger— and yet the children of a Chinamen are the most dutiful of any children of any people. Hearing that a hospital,orsick-house, as tht Chinese term it, had been estab lished in Chinatown, a representative of the Commercial Advertiser set to work to find the place, and explored it if opportunity offered. From inquiries made among tin white people in the neighborhood, the house w is located 011 the north side of the street, five or six doors from the corner of Chatham street. The entrance was under a stocp, and opened into along dark hall way, that in turn led into a blind court between the front and rear buildings. The drains from the adjoining house ß emptied into the stone-flagged court, the sewage lay in little pools in the broken stones, sending up an overpow ering stench. Garbage was scattered over the ground, where it had been thrown from the windows, and lumber boxes and barrels filled up the inter vening spaces. Picking his way across the court, the writer reached a deal door that appeared to open into the lear housp, hut which really opened in to a long alley, at the end of which was another door on which was pasted a red sign in black Chinese characters. Knocking produced no response. The visitor lifted the latch, and pushed the door open. A volume of foul air and smoke jioured out, nearly stifling the reporter, who drew back for a moment, but recovering he entered. The place was dark, but gradually the eye becom ing accustomed to the gloom, it was possible to distinguish the limits of the place. Not a stick of furniture was in the place, but a brazier, made of an old coal oil can,burned in the middle of the room. On one side there were bunks, arranged end for end, and on one, cov ered by a quilt made of gunny sacks and rags lay a human form. As the visitor approached, the miserable crea ture half raised upon his elbow, and asked in a hollow voice : 'What for ?' 'You sick ?' interrogated the report er. 'Me velly sick,' answered the Chine, man, falling back with a groan. 'Hungry ?' 'No—llo can eat.' • 'Where are your friends ?' 'No got fliends. All gone,' As the poor fellow ceased, a hollow cough told the story. He was uying from consumption, which carries off fully half of his iace in this country.
