Itain had come at last; not in a whimsical,lntermittent way,as ph-astsl the idle fancy of every adventurous gust of wind, but in an ohl-faalioiisl etpd noctial dowu-|smr, which tilhsl gutters to overflow ing, taxetl the eajuteity of sewers, invaded unprotected cellar*, levivtsl youth ful speculation touching the father of .la phet aud the bow of promise, and ground ami jsdlshtsl the cobble paving-stitiies, until they outshone the delf-ware, and farly ri valed the eyes of the thrifty Dutch house wives, who, iu the days of Stuy vesant ami Van Twillcr, rtlgmsl supreme ill the m! brick, gahlc-frontwl mansions of the lower iMirtiou of the island of Maiuihatta. So far us the transaction of any business was concerned, the firm of Dappleton & Company, publishers and IsMiksellers,might have closed the doors of their extensive and elegant salesrooms iu Broadway. Gargan tuan must have been the literally thirst,ami impervious the sicin of the wight w ho, iu the teeth of such a storm, would ms-k a book store. Ami so the five clerks gathered in a little group ami discussed the weather, ami its probable effect u]>n the fall races ! The jHirter dried his wet clothing at the huge stove, iu which hurtled the lirst tire of the scason. The gray head of tlie chief Itook kis-js r was is-nt forward upon his ledger,and his sulidueil though musical snore, hlemhsl harmouiosaly with tlie smacking of the small erraud-bay, who, seatsl beneath the high desk, was discounting the msin hour, by commencing a lively skirmish with the cakes, cheese, and outjMists. which flanktsl the main body of his dinner, and even tln gasjets, lighted by reason of the heavy weather ss*ing, by their flickering tlaiucs no activity worthy of emulation, burned in dolently in the murky atmosphere. Suddenly the street disir turned U|MII its hinges, ami the change whicli ensued would have done crislit to the designer of the transformation scene in a great sjss ta rular play. The jwirter Is-gau niemling the lir with all the skill and energy of a ls>ru stoker, the small errand-ISy lsdtl the en tire currant tart at wliicli he had l*en eco uomically nibbling, ami industriously ri sumtsl his occupation of dusting the legsf of the tall desk ; the gray-haired lssikks'is*r awoke with a snort, and fell to work upon the tail of a final g. over whose delicate curves he hail lost consciousness ; the gas jets increased their fiaim-s a full inch, lost their yellow hue, and s --utod entering Into active competition with the electric lights in the cafe across the strict ; four of the clerks Is-gau consulting lists ami assort ing lssiks.as if liiisim --s w t- at its thsMltidc, while the head salesman a grs-t the first customer of tin day. itut tin- tirsi eustoioiT, a tall.angular man of apparently sixty years, sc-med in no hur ry to Ik* greets I. lit- haiusl a fadsl ami dripping umbrella against a Us>kcase, un reeled scvenil yards <>f worst*l comforter from his elongated ue< k, vemoveil a rusty silk hat, evidently a reminiscence of by gone days, straightened his frowsy wig, willed his steaming s|s-eta les, and turned the surprised salesman a pair of piercing black eyes that seemed quite capable of hsikiug through him, and reading II|MUI the hack of his collar tin- name of its manufact urer. "What's your name ?" As the new-comer s|stke, lie darted to wards the breast of the salesman the long index finger of his right band, which caus ed the young man to start as if fearing the concealed |sint of a dagger. "My name," answered he,"is Hooker." "What is your age, and where do you live ?" "I am thirty years of age, and I reside in Harlem," replied the now thoroughly mys liisl salesman. "Arc you the proprietor of this establish ment ?" "No, sir, lam only a clerk. Here comes the senior member of the firm," and Hooker iudieatod a white-haired old gentleman who was just entering the room from his private office. "What can 1 do for you, sir ?" asked the publisher, IKIW ing politely. "Let mo see. What is your name ?" "Dappleton, Chauncy Dappleton, at your service. The long, lmny hand began moving to wards the silver spectacles as if contempla ting a military salute, hut, pausing on the journey, unfastened three of the twelve buttons, which secured the tight fitting, ministerial coat, and disappeared into the mysterious depths beneath. After several lunges and gyrations, repro duced in miniature by the contortions of his mobile face, the strange gentleman brought to the surface, and thrust into the hand of Mr. Dappleton, a large card, upon which was printed, in heavy type : "OLIVER DILLHOKN, D.1)., LL.D., Pres. Unlon College, Unionvilie, Tenn." "Delighted to make your acquaintance) Dr. Dillhorn," began Mr. Dappleton, ex tending his hand, "I think that several years ago " "The faculty and lmanl of trustees," in terrupted the doctor, in a deep, sepulchral voice, "have ever had in view the greatest jKtssilde good for the greatest nossilde num ber ; and actuated by this noble sentiment, coupled with the growing needs of the country which surrounds us, and esjiecially stimulated thereto by an endowment fund of twenty thousand dollars, by a late friend of the college, bequeathed for the express purpose, have, after careful,and I may add, prayerful consideration, decided to enlarge our field of usefulness, lty adding to the ex isting departments of the college, ridelicit tho classical, the scientifiie, the pharmaceu tical, the commercial.and the post graduate, a school of divinity and theology." "It gives me great pleasure to learn it, doctor. In these days of materialism and infidelity " "The board of trustees supplemented by the faculty," resumed the reverend gentle man, with a preliminary cough, to silence the bookseller, "with a unanimity which I considered highly flattering, have nomina ted and appointed me, the president of the institution, as a committee of one, to visit New York, and select and purchase for the uew department, a theological library, and a supply of text hooks ; the establishment of the curriculum being left entirely with me. Knowing your house by favorable reputatien, I have called to examine books and make selections." "I am pleased lieyoiul expression," re- , plied the publisher Isiwiug. "When will you commence your work, doctor ?" "At once, if convenient. It will occupy several days, and the trustees aud faculty will l>c anxious." Half an hour later Dr. Dillhorn was seat ed in the private office, Ntirroutided by racks and chairs filled with lusiks, deep iu a com parlson of the merits of I'ah-y and Alexan der, Edward* and Dwight. For over a week lie lulioml industriously, i selecting, rejecting, and making notes of doubtful eases, in a crabbed hand for future reference. "My lalsirs are almost at an end," said lie to Mr. Dappleton on the morning of the eighth day "aud but for one diliiculty 1 could complete my order to-day." "A difficulty! I'm sorry to hear of it. Can 1 assist you iu any way?" "That's the jsiiut. 1 trust you can. A correct knowledge of Hebrew lies at Un root of a theological education, and a good grammcr is the foumlatiou of a kno wedge of Hebrew. There is iny difficulty ; a good Hebrew grammar I cannot find." "We have several." "True, but they are all defective. I'd give six prices for the one I used in my stu dent days. Dear old Choptuan, no such Hebrew scholar lives to-day." "I'm not familiar with the work, hut you shall have it if it's obtainable in New York. Here, Hooker make around of the lsjok stores, and sis- if you can find Cbopman's Hebrew grammar." Two hours later the young man returned. He had not l*s*ii successful. All agreed that it must Is- out of print. In fact no one remembered to have ever seen it. "I'm greatly disappointed," said the doc tor, shaking hi* head sorrowfully, "but 1 supjsMe 1 must adopt one of the new-fang led, inferior works. I regret it all the more Isa-ause only this morning I received a let ter from an old friend, a professor of He brew, asking me, if jsissible, to secure a supply of Chopmau for his college." "Hooker," said Mr. Dappleton, "did ycu call at Haverty's?" "No, air, I did not. I thought it hardly lsst in view of the trouble we had with him last mouth." "Oh, that amounts t > nothing. He is on ly a little jealous. Run over to his store; h- may have what we want. And Hook er," said the gentleman, recalling the clerk, aud sjstaking to him aside, "if it comes right, give him a pointer about our eccen tric new southern customer, and the large order he is giving. It will make Haverty sleep well." •'l've found them at last," cried Hooker, as after a few minute's absence he hurst in to the office. "Haverty has three huudred of them aud I've brought a copy for your ius|s-ction." "Dear old C'bopiuan," cried Dillhorn, af ter a critical examination of the book. "How it carries me luwk to iny boyhood. I'm so glad you have found it. I must wire the faculty and trustees of my success." "What does Haverty ask for them?" in quired the bookseller. "That's the trouble, sir," replied the clerk. "He says he can't sell them for a cent, less than three dollars pel copy." "Three dollars ! and for a Issik like that. He must IK* crazy," cried the publisher. "I feared the price wotthl l** high, for, you see, I know- their value. It is too much ; hut my heart is set on dear old t'hopman, and I'll take them all, and in deed, with two colleges to supply, they'll not hist long." "Oh, I forgot to mention it," said the salesman, "hut Haverty has the plates from which the lssiks were printed,w hich he will sell for five hundred dollars." "How 1 would love to have them," said the doctor, excitedly, "hut my commission is to purchase hooks only, and I have no authority to buy them." "Make your mind easy on that score, my dear doctor. We will purchase the plates, and print as many editions as you desire." "Thank you, Mr. Dappleton," cried the reverend gentleman, extending his hand. "You arc more than kind, and I trust and believe that the investment w ill prove a pro fitable one for your house." "Ho over to Haverty's," said the old gen tleman to his clerk, "and tell him we will take the liook* and plates. Wait, let rat* make him a check for the fourteen hundred dollars, I don't carc to Is- under obligations to him. "And now Mr. Dappleton," said the doc tor, as the young man left the office, 'my work is completed. You have treated me kindly and given me excellent prices, and L thank you, not in my own name alone, but in the names of the trustees and faculty— yes and in the names of all who appreciate the value of a higher religious education. When will the Isstks Is- boxed for shipment and my bill prepared?' 'Early to-morrow morning.' 'Very well, I will call at 10 o'clock,' and the reverend gentleman wound himself up in his comforter, settled his wig, wiped his spectacles, put on his hat, shook hands with the publisher, and left the place. On the following morning at 10 o'clock, eighteen large lsixes of luniks, each liearing the name and address of Dr. Dillhorn, stissl iu the packing-room of the establisnment, and a formidable itemized hill, with a total footing of more than nine thousand dollars, lay upon the cashier's desk ; but the rever end doctor himself did not appear. 'Hooker,' said the publisher to his clerk, as the day drew near its close, 'l'm wor ried about this Dillhorn matter. Step over and ask Haverty where he bought those liooks and plates.' 'Certainly, Mr. Hooker, your house is welcome to any information in my jiosse.--- sion,' said good-natured Mr. Haverty,when asked the history of the plates and books. 'About ten days ago a gentleman called, and asked me to purchase a lot of Hebrew grammars, aud the plates for producing them. 1 told him they were of no possible value, except as old metal and waste paper. He seemed greatly disappointed and asked me to store them for a short time, and try to find a purchaser on a commission of ten per cent. He named a price which confirm ed my previous belief that he was a crank, and so, to humor him, I told him he might leave them with me. Of course I had no idea of selling them, as I had not yet heard of your new southern customer, and his ex tensive order.' 'And you have not seen him since?' asked Hooker, wincing. 'Oh, yes, he called shortly after you left yesterday, and collected the amount of your check, less my commission.' 'And you know nothing further concern" ing him ?' Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance. 'Nothing, except Mint n gentleman who K.iw him leaving here yartertlay, told me that lie wni a noted nhar|>er, wanted hy the }m>llc* fur mv\ hulling Kvenl annopliiatlaatad people.' 'l'm very tmtrlt obliged, #ir. Good even ing,' an id the young man, rUing. 'Wait a moment, Hooker. A a he waa leaving yeatenluy, he handed me thin eard. I'leam* give it U my friend Happlcton, with my compliment#,' and Mr. Ha verty took from Id* dek and handed his visitor a large card, upon whieh watt printed, in heavy type : 'OLIVER LHLLHOHN I). 1., LL. D., Pre*. U uiou t'oliege, Unionville, Tenn.' Meehatdeally the young man UurueJ the eard in his huud, and oil its back, in the pe culiar erahlted hand of the southern eusto uier, saw the heavily underseoml word# : 'Bear old Chop man.'—lnciyht Baldwin, in the Current. Jiurial of the Gypsy t^ueen. Jcntio Jeffy Harrison, the young gypsy tjueen, wbo died at Jackson, Miss-, on Dec. 31, 1886, was buried at Dayton, 0., in the gypsy lot at Woodland the other day. At her death the body was embalmed and sent north. She was the daughter of Henry aud Tallie Jeffreys, wbo own large tracts of laud near Dayton, and are related to the Stanleys, wbo reign over about twenty tribes that make their summer home in the Miama val ley. Besides the immediate relatives about 100 gypsies were present. The burial is the fourth of the kind that has occurred in Dayton since 1857 and, as on former occasions, attracted crowds of people to view the street pa geant. The funeral cortege consisted of a caravan of thirty large wagons loaded with famlies and carrying all their camp and household equipage. Following each wagt nwere the horses and dogs of the family, numbering in some cases fifty animals* The pro cession was nearly a mile in ienght and there were in line about 500 hors es A squad of police prevented the en trance to the grounds of the crowd. The Rev. Daniel Berger, of the Unit ed Brethren church, conducted the. religious services, consisting of pray er, and Scripture readings and a ser mon. The mourners sat about tbe grave while tbe caravan of wagons, horses and dogs was kept cootiually circling tbe grave on the win ding road ways. When the minister concluded, the mourners roso a nd began a low chant in gypsy dialect. Tbe refrain was caught up by tbe occupants of the moving caravan and soon the a'r resounded with the moaning and wailing. Young gypsy girls carried flowers of scarlet hue and showered them in the yrave. They cried: "Good by, Jentie! Good by, sweet queen ! Good by !" These manifestations of yrief continued un/il /be pas/or bade /be mourners re/ire.—Day/on (0.) Special. Pernicious Literature. The best society for tbe suppression of pernicious literature is tbe family. Tbe best legislatiou that can be pass ed for the prevention of vile literature can be passed by father and mother in joint convention assembled. Daily teaching to love and study good and useful things will bring boys and girls to detest the opposite. These are the only means by which the sale of per nicious literature can Dever be per permanently and effectually suppress, ed. The passage of laws of the State and the watcbfullness of tbe societies for the suppression of pernicious liter ature may do some gocd for the youth wbo have no parents to teach them, but to proyide sound early training for them would do far more yood. A Wrathful Professor. The doctor, a man of dignity, of so cial importance, of professional weight, and a man wbo kept bis classes in a New York medical college sharply up to the mark, and could ill brook Igno rance or stuoidity, was one day ques tioning an assemblage of young men in the college amphitheatre, as to what should be done when an acid reaction was obtained in testing the yarious fluids of the human body. "What," he asked, "would you do if you found a man's blood ncid There was no answer. "Does no one know ?" said the doc tor, beginning to wax wroth. It was painfully evident that no one in the class had arrived at a sufficient pitch of pathological profountfity to wipe the rapidly deepening stain of ig norance from his class. At last the doctor said,fairly blazing, "Web, if you don't know I'm blessed if I tell you." When the class was dismissed a stu dent, bolder than his fellows, approach ed the doctor and said : "I beg your pardon, doctor, but we arejall anxious to know what we would do if we found a man's blood acid ?" "Why, order bis cofllrt, you fool," roared the doctor, and the interview terminated with anger and contempt on the one side and with grief and hu miliation on the other. -First-class job work done at the JOURNAL office.

Flirtation Unknown and Love Bin Ic ing Forbidden—The .Marriage Ceremonies. The dress of tbe Albania women is ungallantly described by travelers as hideous. It is said to be of thick ma terial aud shapeless ; a leather band encircling tbe waiste, and usually a t little black cloak is thrown over tho shoulders. But tbe wearers are tbe £ most beautiful women of eastern Eu rope, and their manners always gra cious. Flirtation is unknown, and even the most decorous love making forbidden. Tbe proper thing is for the lover never to see bis intended till their marriage day. She has been carefully secluded in the recesses of her house till her parents think she is old enough tb be married. Having arrived at this con clusion, they announce the fact; if tbe mere announcement is of no avail, they adopt strong measures. Tbe la dy's brother will politely come op to a friend in tbe street and pleasantly remark .• "You are just the fellow I wanted to see. My sister is 14 years old ; yon must msrry her." No Albanian who respects himself rejects tbe proposal of his friend, in fact, he regards it as an honor, and knows that a refusal means a duel to death. Like ether more western mortals, be may have a morbid curi osity regarding his friend's sister's personal appearance, and then he has to recourse to the inevitable old. wom an the entremetteuse in the true sense of tbe word, whose profession is to intervenein such cases. She calls on the bride, inspects her, and the returns to tbe expectant swain with a detailed account of the young lady's qualities, of course colored in proportion to the fee she has received. Then tbe wed ding day is fixed, and at last the happy pair are face to face. The etiquette of Albania requires the bridgeroom to be eov and reluct ant ; it is considered degrading to his dignity to affect any tenderness for tbe fairer sex, and therefore he is bound to offer strong resistance to her approach. In marked contradistinc tion to the usual marriage ceremonies, which point to a capture of tbe bride, the Albanian customs indicate a cap ture of the bridegroom, aud yet the whole race displays a degree of con tempt for women which is not found in the most barbarous nationa It is worthy of remark, also, that in every family the males usually go to the mosque, tbe females to church. The Largest Farm In the World. In the extreme southwest corner ot Louisiana lies the largest producing farm in the world. It runs 100 miles north and' south and miles east and west, and is owned and operated by a syndicate of Northern capitalists. Their general manager, J-R. Wat kins, gives an interesting account of this gigantic plantation, which throws tLe great Dairy mple farm in Dakota into the shade completely. "The 1,500,000 acres of our tract," Mr. Watkins said, "was purchased in 1883 Irom the state of Louisiana and from the Uuited States govern ment At that time it was a vast grazing land for the cattle of the few dealers in the neighborhood. When I took possession I found over 30,000 head of half wild horses and cattle. My work was to divide the immense tract into convenient pastures, estab lish stations or ranches every six miles. The fencing alone cost in the neigh borhood of $50,000. The land I found to be best adapted to rice, sugar, corn and cotton. All our cultivating, ditching, etc., is done by steam pow er. We take a tract, say a half a mil e wide for instance, ana place an engine on each side. The engines are portable and operate a cable attached to four plows, and under this arrange ment we are able to plow thirty acres a day with only the labor of three men. Our harrowing, planting and other cultivation is done in a like manner ; in fact, there is not a single draught horse on the entire place. We have, of course, horses for the herders of cattle, of whieh we now have 16,000 head. The South , ern Pacific railroad runs for tbiriy six miles through our farm. We have three steamboats operating on the waters of out own estate, upon which there are 300 miles of navigable wat ers. We have an ice house, a bank, a ship yard and a rice mill."— St. Louis .
