A Littlo Chapter of Life Trans
latecl from the French.
llow often have wo read stories of
poor old misers who have died sur
rounded by abject, poverty, and who
have left Secreted in odd stockings and
out of the way places immense wealth,
opportunely discovered after their de
mise ! llow often have these realities
been dished up by romancers in the
shape of pretty little sketches, and been
eagerly devoured by the novel-reading
public.
"N matter how often,"exclaims the
impatient reader,"if you've got a story
to tell, go ahead with it, and leave off
your dull speculations."
Well, my dear sir (or miss), wo have
got a little chapter of life to relate, but
it is in French ; however as your edu
cation has been sadly neglected (?) and
your school-day learning of that unique
language has long been forgotten, we
don't mean to put you to the trouble of
hunting up your* "Iveetel," or to ttie
moititication of showing your ignor
ance before your younger brothers and
sisters by allowing your doting parents
a chance to request that you will "please
translate this French humbug for us,
my dear." So we give It to you in
plain Saxon.
Suzette Borgne was one of the many
Suzettes to be found in the great city
of Paris. A verv good-looking female
of about twenty summers, an orphan
from childhood, and indebted for her
bringing-up to an ugly old uncle. Slid
relative was a chiffounier—we beg par
don—a rag-picker, and to judge by ap
pearances he had followed that mean
of getting money all his life.
Suzette's earliest recollections were
those of being perched upon a beau of
rags in her uncle's garret, and playing
with Misere, a large black torn cat that
old Gregory had kept by him from time
immemorial. Misere and Gregoiy were
enough alike to be biothers—if you can
imagine such a phenomenon—both be
ing long, lank and lean,with large star
ing eyes, and a general grizzly appear
ance. They had even fought for each
other, for many an intrusive eur had
been driven yelping away from the vi
cinity of ins master's premises by
Misere, and many a scrape had the old
cat got his master into with his thiev
ing propensities and midnight sere
nades. Once tha house to<>k fire, and
these two friends, woke up by the noise
and confusion.rushed outside their gar
ret and tumbled down three pair
of stairs together,a mixed combination
of human bones, tat fur and old rags.
Landing at the bottom of the third
flight, an excited member of the fire
police struck at the hobgoblin appari
tion with his axe, and poor Misere lost
his caudal appendage, while Gregory
was bereft of three toes. The old man
was taken to the hospital and the old
cat nursed herself ; both recovered, and
having been fellow-sufferers were, no
doubt, more fond of each other ever af
ter.
At another time the house was iuva
ded by gens iV arms in search of an es
caped prisoner, and while poking over
old Gregory's rags thev were set upon
by the infuriated feline, who ifsed his
claws with such vigor as nearly to
scratch the eyes out of two of them be
fore he could be bagged and flung out
of the window. This latter piece of
cruelty maddened the aged rag-picker
to such a degree that he struck one of
the soldiers,and was ignorainious'v led
off to prison. Misere, landing on his
feet with a triumphant howl,went back
to the dingy garrett and kept guard o
ver its contents till his master returned
from durance vile. Here was another
cord that bound them together. So
you see how it came about that the old
fellow loved his cat about as well as he
did his niece.
Suzette had now grown to be a wo
man, and was quite tired of the dull
life she was leading as a rag picker's
assistant. A good-natured girl she
was, and moderately fond of her uncle,
but what charms had such a life for
her ? She must get out into the world,
and Annette, wife of Daddy Publice,
who kept the little bake shop over the
way, fully agreed with her on this im
portant point. In fact, little Annette
was kind enough to offer her a position
behind her own counter.
"For you see, mon cher," she said
to her spouse, in private : "Suzette
will attract customers with her pretty
face, while you, llnri, and myself can
attend to the ovens. "
"Ah, yes," responded the amiable
Daddv, with a knowing leer, "she'll
do. Not a bad match for our Henti
wuuld that be, tor savez vous, I think
that old uncle of hers has money stored
away I"
"Go along, you old wretch, "roguish
ly replied Annette, "you men are all
for money and nothing else."
So Suzstte broached the subject to
A PAPER FOR THE HOME CIRCLE
her guardian, and aftei a good deal >f
grumbling and a consultation with
his cat, he allowed her to take the sit
uation in Daddy I'ublice's bake shop.
Suzette went gayly to her new sphere,
and soon became a proficient in the
mysteries of that little trade. The
young students of the neighborhood
were observed ly inquisitive people to
linger over the counter chatting with
the new clerk much longer than was
necessary, and the same busybodies no
ticed a vast improvement in the dress
of young Henri. To tell the truth,Su
zette had not been in the shop three
weeks before the heir apparent to the
bakery was completely fascinated with
her charms, and half the student cus
tomers had sworn terrible oaths that
they loved the pretty girl to distrac
tion.
The nice little compliments they be
stowed upon her, and the before un
heard-of liberality with which they
bought sweet-cakes and refused to re
ceive their change, greatly pleased An
nette and the Daddy, and drove poor
Henri nearly wild with jealously. He
watched her through the little glass
door that separated the outer shop
from the ovens, and, as she laughed
with and waited on the gay young fel
lows, the wicked boy actually wished
they were all to the bad ! yes, he act
ually felt so bad as to swear about it !
But swearing did not help the matter ;
who ever found that it did ? and he
had to vent his fury on the innocent
pies and cakes, the most of which lie
burned to a cinder. Iu consequence,
the Daddy called down maledictions on
his head, and he in turn raved about
Suzette, who, quite unc mscious of the
row she was causing in the rear, was
chatting in front witli one of her new
made friends, a certain Louis Francis
cano, who kept a little book store on
the next corner. This Louis was a
dashing young fellow, did a thriving
business,and sported a "beautiful mus
tache." "Attraction enough for any
poor girl," thought our heroine, and
she accordingly accepted his invitation
to spend an evening at the theatre.
Suzette, had she dared, would have
treated poor Henri with scorn, but tfie
fear of displeasing her employers, and
thus losing her place, caused her to
look upon him in a respectful manner,
ar.d to accept his little compliments
with becoming grace. But an evening
at the theatre with handsome Louis
was much better sport than walking
with dull Ilenri, and a little bonne
bouche from the former was received
with the sweetest of smiles and a pro
fusion of mercies, while trifles from the
latter were taken with a hypocritical
grin, and quietly thrown out of sight.
To sum up the case, Henri was in
love with Suzette, Suzette ditto with
Louis, and Louis ditto with old Greg
ory ! "That's strange !" remarks the
unsophisticated reader. Not at all,my
dear sir, for bear in mind that our
'
young bookseller was a very shrewd
personage, and had his suspicions a
bout hidden wealth as well as Daddy
Publice. So he used to climb up to the
old rag-picker's garret, and drive bar
gains with him for the product of his
toil, at the same time keeping an eye
out for hints or suggestions regarding
"the root of all evil."
Old Gregory was also shrewd, and
more than half suspecting the young
man's design, and thinking he would
be a pretty good catch for his niece,
used to jingle the silver that Louis
paid him with a satisGed chucklo, and
nod his grizzly head in a mysterious
way, thus conGrming his patron in the
belief that lie stowed away all such
treasures.
One afternoon Louis entered the gar
ret very quietly and caught the old man
on his knees before the Gre-place,where
he was depositing a small bag in a hole
caused by the removal of a brick.
Perfectly satisGed now he silently slip
ped out again, made a loud shuffling
with his feet, and knocked at the
door. On entering, the old gentle
man was picking over his rags as us
ual, the brick was in its place, and
Misere, the cat, was curled upon the
hearth.
"I have come," said Louis, "to ask
the hand of your niece. I'm a lonely
young fellow and want a wife."
"Parbleu 1 a wife ! Tlow many lou
is can you show to support one on ?"
"Enough of them, good Monsieur
Gregory ; besides, has she not some
of her own ?"
"How should I know ? Dies she
not spend all her earning on tine dress
es and feathers ?"
"But I mean, will she not c>me into
a property or.e of these days ?"
"A property ! Sacre I I know of
nobody who'has anything for her !■'
"Ah you old miser 1"
And Louis went away and engaged
himself to Suzette that very night,
with the understanding that the af
fair was to be kept secret for the pres
ent.
Time wore on, and a very strange
eveut came to pass— Misere, the belov-
Ed torn-cat, died ! You never heard
of a cat dying before ? Remember
this was A French cat, and not one of
our proverbially nine-live-independent
Yankee cats ! The poor old fellow
was found stiff and cold one morning
by his disconsolate master,who mourn
ed over the remains a whole day, and
then took them to a bird-fancier's and
had the skin stuffed. The first time
Louis visited the garret there stood
Miscre in the corner, perched upon a
high pedestal, and seemingly as watch
ful as ever ; but he looked out of glass
eyes now, and was otherwise incapaci
tated from active duty.
A short time after this old Gregory
himself fell dangerously sick, and Su
zette devotedly gave up her clerkship
(much to the disgust of Annette, Dad
dy, the student customers, and even
Louis), and faithfully watched over
and cared for her lone old uncle. Hen
ri, who had long foreseen the state of
affairs between Suzette and Louis, and
had given up all hope of winning her
hand, still loved her with that inten
sity peculiar to Frenchmen. lie now
became the kindest and most attentive
of friend, constantly bringing up little
delicacies for the uncle, aud running of
little errands for the niece, so that in a
short time the latter began to wonder
that she had never before noticed the
many good qualities of the honest fel
low. His actions shone more brightly
by their contrast to those of Louis,
which latter persDnage seldom made
his appearance, and was always in a
hurry to get away.
After many weeks of sickness old
Gregory died, and Suzette was alone in
the world. The day after the funeral
Annette, the Daddy and Henri came
into the desolate garret to keep her
company awhile. Pieeently Louis
made his appearance, when the others,
with unusual common sense, were for
going home and leaving the young cou
ple to themselves, but Louis detained
them by saying :
"Don't go, ray good folks, I want a
little talk with you. You know of the
engagement between Suzette and I,and ;
now as her future husband, I propose
that we together search this room for
money which I think old Gregory must
have secreted here. Come, let us be
gin with the fireplace," and he easily
found the loose brick which he had
seen in the hands of the rag-picker on
the foimer occasion. Exciteuiy throw
ing it down,he thrust his hand into the
opening, and drew fort!* an old stock
ing.
"Stop !" hurriedly exclaimed Suzet
te, "you are not yet the master, aud
have no right to open that. Giye it to
me."
"Just as you please," and handing it
to her, he again thrust his arm into the
hole but found notuing more.
All now crowded round Suzette, cu
lions and impatient, while she emptied
the stocking of its contents,—an ob
long, lead box. Louis forced the lid
open, and what do you suppose there
was inside ?
"Heaps of money ?" No, sir. "A
big bank-book ?"No,ma'am. Nothing
but a piece of piper with this scrawled
on it : "Suz-tte, my child, take good
care of Misere, for the sake of your un
cle."
With chop-fallen countenance, Louis
was about to resume the search, when
the voice of Suzette arrested him.
"Louis Franciscano, you will find no
.secreted treasure, and as that seems to
be your object in com ing here, you may
as well go 1"
"Very good, mademoiselle, a penni
less bride is a small loss, to my taste. I
bid you a pleasant adieu."
And he took himself off.
It was now Henri's turn, and his of
fer to take Suzette for herself was not
rejected. They were shortly after mar
ried, and she took her old place be
hind the counter of the Daddy'a bak
ery.
Ou going to remove the few things
from the old garret, Suzette remember
ed the lines her uncle had bequeathed
her, and endeavored to remove Misere,
when lo and behold,he couldn't be stir
red I Ilenri was called in, but still
old Misere wouldn't budge 1 A sur
gical operation with a pen-knife and
a postmortem examination revealed
the cause—he was stuffed with golden
louis 1
Suzette, like the good girl she was,
ever after took the best care of Misere,
and his stuffing !
Little Pauline had been reproved for

Utilizing Dead Horses.
A crowd had gathered ou a South
side street corner where a horse with
a broken limb had been shot. As the
owner stood ruefully surveying his
loss a fat, dark'complexioncd man el
bowed his way up and said,as he smil
ed grimly :
'Say, mister, I 'll cart that horse a
wav if you'll give it to me. Is it a
bargain V
The owner pondered a minute,look
ed around at the crowd and remarked;
'The animal is no use to me, and I
gucts you can have it,but I'm blessed
if I know what you want with it.You
can have it if you'll tell me.'
'All right. You see a dead horse
represents considerable money to me,
and when I can get one ; I am going
to drop into it every time. I'll haul
the animal out to my place, where I
will skin it, and tan the hide, or else
sell it raw to one of the tanneries. It
will then go to some boot and shoe
firm, who will proceed to make it up
nicely and commands a fancy prioe.
'Shoes made of cordovan, as the
leather is termed, are considered the
proper things by swells and sell well.
The tail, which is long and bushy, can
be made into a nice horse brush or
switch for ladies. To make a nice
switch I take out the bone from the
tail and stick the skin into a handle,
and there we have it all ready for use
as soon as it gets dry.
'But what do you do with the re
mainder of the body—the bones and
flesh ?'
'Oh, they come handy. I raise lots
of hunting dogs. Of course, if I were
to buy beef for them.it would cost me
a small foitune. When I get or buy
dead horses I save some of the meat,
feeding the dogs on that. They thrive
on it, and it don't cost me much.
• 'The hoofs I sell to some glue fac-
I tory, where they are boiled and made
into glue. Do I make use of the bones?
Of course Ido Sometimes I grind
them up and sell Item as fertilizers,
ground bone is the stuff to spread on
your garden if you want to raise good
crops. When lam busy and want to
dispose of them I sell them to some
button-factory. They make buttons,
large and small, out of bones. I have
seen some knife handles made out of
bone, but it cracks easily and is not
used much. Buttons are more gener
ally made from horse bone than any
thing else in that line.
'Now, if you want any meat for
your cats let me know, and I will sup
ply you,' but the former possessor of
the horse did not seem to relish the idea
of his cats being fed on horseflesh, and
declined the offer with thanks.—Mil

A Man Must be at the Throttle.
When a locomotive rolled up to an
early East Tennessee town, and the en
gineer, who was a man of small stature,
got down to'oil around,' two mountain
eers looked at the engine for the first
time; they examined iu critically, were
lost m admiration, thought it was 'a
big thing,' but as one of them seized up
the little engineer, he remarked: 'lt
don't take much of a man to run her,
does it, Jim V
But he didn't know—it does look
easy—a boy might stand on the foot
board, open and shut the throttle ; but,
Jim, it does take a good deal of a man
to stand there all through the hours of
the day and night, to know all the
grades of the road, where he 'must
make hei red-hot and pull her wide o
pen' to get to the top of the hill, and
where to 'shut her off and let her roll;'
it does take much of a man to read the
guage, and know if the water is low or
if there is plenty; to know when she is
working easily,or laboring hard; to feel
her pulse, as it were, as he stands in his
place, and tells whether all is well; and
then, if she'lets down,' it does take
much of a man to know just what to
do to disconnect and block her up.
It does take much of a man when
there is a stretch of track to take a long
look ahead or peer around curves, to
watch the track for anything that may
be in the way,and if there should be—a
tree, a rock, or a broken rail, or a mis
placed switch—then there must be a
man at the throttle, one who has the
nerve to do the act very quickly, one
who has brains to think with, and a
strong arm to act; one who loses sight
of himself and thinks of those behind
him, all unconscious of danger. It will
take a man then, Jim.to apply the brake
to 'throw her ovei and give her steam '
There is the guage to watch and the
water; the track must be watched and
the signals—see if they are red or green.
It is watch, watch, all the time, think
and remember every figure on the time
card and the mile post and the station,
and the yellow tissue paper the tele
graph man gave him at the last station
—verilv,eternal vigilance is the price of
lifel Yes, Jim,it does take much of a
a man to run her.—l7ie Pointer.

The World's Depot.
Nearly seven million men,women and
children have looked .back in memory
to Castle Garden as the spot
their feet first rested on the free shores
of America. Out of these millions
many have passed the barrier which
separates ail from the future. To the
general public nothing more is known
uf Castle Garden than that it is a place
where foreigners are landed. The ex
tent of the daily business done there,
and the manner of doing it,are to them
ps a sealed book.
There are still living many who re
member Castle Garden as the place
where, previous to 1855, delig itful con
certs, grand balls aud brilliant recep
tions were held.
Up to the year 1885 emigrants were
landed at the various docks along the
city front, where they became an easy
prey to the wiles of the boarding house
keepers aud their satelities, the river
thieves, runners and the thousand and
one attaches of a nefarious trade.
In 1885 the legislature of the State
passed a law leasing Castle Garden
from the city, which had owned it since
1822, and designated it as a depot for
the landing of emigrant passengers.
Statistics show that from 1846 to 1884
inclusive, a period of thirty-eight years,
there*, have been landed 7,881,658 emi
grant passengers at the port of New
York. This shows ah average of 207,-
412 per year. The largest number land
ed 7,881,658 emigrant passengers at the
port of New York. This shows an av
erage of 207,412 per year. Ths largest
number landed in any one year was in
1882, when 476,681 passed through the
garden. The lowest number received
was in 1887 when only 63,855 were land

In the rotunda of the garden there
are offices where railroad tickets for
any place in the United States can be
obtained at regular rates. The differ
ent telegraph lines have also branchy
there. There is also au hospital con
nected with the garden, which is in
charge of an experienced physician.
A day spent in inspecting the work
ings of this real beneficial institution
will give food for interesting study.
Long familiarity with the wants and
needs of new arrivals has made the at
taches efficient in the discharge of their
duties, and a crowd, of two thousand,
or even as high as seven thousand peo
ple are disposed of in one day.—ATeic

Smart People.
Sam V. Harris liyes in Fort Worth.
Neither he nor his wife are very smart,
as will be seen by the following inci
dent. Last night Sam heard a noise
under his bed.
'There is somebody under the bed,'
said Sam to his wife.
'lt's Fido ; 1 guess.'
'No, I think it's a burglar,' replied
Sam.
'Just reach your hand down and if it
is Fido he will lick it.'
The burglar, for it was oae after all,
overheard the conversation, and when
Sam reached his hand down the burglar
licked it all oyer very affectionately.
This was entirely satisfactory,and they
both went to sleep,but when they woke
up next morning there was not much
left in the"houße that was worth cany-*
ing off.—Texas Siftinqs.
