"No, I don't," said the old bache
lor doeidedly. .
Ho was something of a ixar - ,to
rover so crustily when Barbara - Smith
. stood in the doorway, with the shad
owY noshes drooping -over her soft
brown eyes, and the roses melting in
to deep carmine on her rosy cheeks,
until her muslin dram; was 'pale in

the blooming freshness of herwigh

fluttered up from her lips as the ono-
Jtohee carriage drove away, and was
'checked instantly. Barbara had no
idea of becoming a victim to mire
gaited .love, though she had tither
landed Mr. Yerley during his brief
sojourn at her father's house.
Mr. Verley drove away through
the rustling green draperies of the
summer lanes, whistling sadly as he

As he settled himself comfortably

opened a letter, the subject again oc
curred with curiou.; persistence.

Mr. ‘'erley looked out of the ear

at the prospect before him.

And with this vindictive sentiment
in his mind, our hero tied a red silk
handkerchief over his head, and tried
.to lose himself in a series of brief,
troubled dream., wherein.the vision
.
of a tall, nice young lady figured con
spicuously. •

and ' traveling shawl, with the bust
ling bewilderment peculiar to people
siiddefily aroused from sleep.
Stieedville was rather.a large sizcsi
village, situated at ' the Junetion,of
several railways—a bustling, thriving
little place, with an imposing Amer
ican Gothic structure as a depot. In
to this building Mr. Verley walked,
looking right and left for the young
lady whose' guardianship ho was 1.6

"Of course," ho fixtsoned mentally,
she'll be on the lookout for me ; wo
men are preverhially curious."
But liarold Verley's daughter was
not on thelookout' for her unkhown
uncle. When the crowd incident to
,the evcniug train•had subsided, and
- people had, gone their several ways,
he only remaining occupants of the
depot were Mr. Verley, a lame old
Mall with peanuts and oranges, and a
decent looking colored woman, with:
a brilliant Madras turban on her head
whobook tare of the building.
Neither of these could be his niece;
so Mr. Verloy after a little perplexed

colored woman, who was busy pot

"Asleep:" gasped Mr. \ 'erley ; but
the stewardeis only answered him by
hustling into the inner apartment
and hanging out what mpeared to
be a eomput bunttlki with a pinit
lam at one end of it, and a mass of
long, trailing embroideries at the
other..
.loseph Verley recoiled as far as the
angle of the wall would permit him.
"Why , --it's a baby !"

from the in ines of the Shenango Val=
ley, It is free from sulphur, with
sufficient bitumen to produce heat
and gas, and with carbon in good
proportion. Herein lies its peculiar
value. Pittsburgh coal, on account
of its excess of bitumen over carbon,
has to be coked to get. clear of this
excess. The tendency of things is
verifying the remark of a Pittsburgh
manufacturer, that the manufacture
of iron would ne transferred to •the
Lake shore. And some of•the heavi

Messrs. Wood, of that city, so long
connected with the iron business, and
who have had four furnaces in suc

are under way for increasing the iron
productions of that VulleY—showing
the confidence exhibited ;• while we
find statements in some of our ex;
changes that, on account of depression ;
in the iron market, or fair of foreign
importation, many iron men iu the
eastern part of the State nre about to
stop operations. In 180, 110,000
tons of pig metal were found in this

.be increased 33 per cent. the present

One day Dr. B. was waliedupon by
a,young lady, who bobbled around for
twoyears on a cork contrivance which
a railroad accident had impelled her
to wear instead of her own beautiful
and more shapely one ;,'but the price
was far above her means, and so 'the
poor creature-was about to hobble

"If you will permit me to refer to

the offer, the term of exhibition to.

The leg was adjusted, and not only
"worked" splendidly, but looked
equal to the original; In short, she
was able to throw aside her cane and
promenade with grace and only trifl

But by-and-by thedoctor'a custom
ers began to come for the purpose of
examination. At first It was farfrom
being pleasant but in the presence of
her mother and sister the exhibition
of her good points ceased to become
a bore, and she began to take it with
pride, drawing the inanimate num

of this lady's mother vs. the railroad

The young lady had by this time
Warned to treat the whole affair as a
matter of business, and when she
heard that a caller was waiting in the
parlor, she went down as she would
have gone upon any other duty.
The young gentleman bowel and
blushed as she entered the room, and
supposing that he was somewhat
contused about making known his er

self.

"I suppose you have come to see
my leg," she said drawing up a chair
in front of him.
"I—I—" he stammered, and again
she came to the rescue
"Never mind excuses, it is simply
a matter of business," she said, at the
same time displaying a well-propor

"You see lean use It Just as well as

"But my dear lady, I beg to assure

"Don't mention it, I am only too

"But, my dear young lady, I wish

"Thor is no ()minion for that, sir

continued the interesting mixn r still
continuing the hlterest exhila tion.
"But—but I am Mr. W.'s clerk—
he wished me to—"and casting a
sidelong look at the batulifully-roun

down.
"Oh,Mr. W. Oh, my ! I thought

—On the evening of Mayl4," says
the London Times, "Earl de Grey
was installed as Grand Master of
English Free Masons, and such an
assemblage of the craft as were there
gathered to give him a cordial greet
ing is altogether without precedent
or parallel. That such bhould have
been the case is not to be wondered
at when it is known that there has
been no similar event in this country
for twenty-six yearsjthe Grand Mas
tership having for that period been
occupied by the Earl of %Aland, who
now retires from the : throne of Free
Masonry. The occasion was render
ed still more - interesting from the
intimation that Brother -the Prima
of Wales had been given out, some
time since, that whenever the Grand
Master-elect should be installed as
Grand Master, he shOuld do himself
the pleasure of being present to wit
ness it. Upwards of 1,:a0 of the
highest offices In the craft were pres
ent',"taime of them froM China, Olu
da, America, and other countries." .
—Tho residence of Reberet Galbreath,
on the Black Extension of Monongahela
City, Washington county, was struck
by lightning during. the severe thunder
storm of Monday afternoon last. The
family wore all congregated In one room
when the house received the stroke, and
were all shockeirby .of
them being throw 4 from their seats to
the door. With the exeeption of a very
painful fright, the family escaped with
out injury. The house, however, sus
tained some Serious damage, the chim
ney being shattered so tnowbat, and quite
a scar along a partition and through a
wardrobe.

—The Franking , PriVilege dies
slowly and painfully. The bill abol
ishing it was before ; the Senate yes
terday as the special order for the
twentieth time, and was=quittly'laid
aside. the .Senaters' acting with the
air of men, fMrful of assuming' the
resqonsibllity of defeating the bill,
and yet determined not to relinquish
the much abused privilege. • The
time which has bebo wasted in the
various 'efforts' to postpone the bill
