When, sudden, trom out a talr nnd smiling heaven
Hurst forth tho rain, quick as n trumpet-tlare:
Yet still tho Italian sun each drop did leaven
And turned tho rain to diamonds In tho air.

Select Story.
Al'KOSS THE SEA.
The I'otneranin was three days out from
Havre, sailing briskly along at tho rate of
fourteen knots, ber sails filled by tho stiff
Easterly breeze, mid every one on board
cheered with tho prospect of a quick run.
Most of tho pascngers were on deck.stretch
ed indolently upon the settees or leaning
idly against the taffrail. Of the latter, Mr.
Ualpli Hawthorne was one. A sea voyago
was always a bore to him, and by no means
a novelty, for it ratnc in tho line of hisbus
incss, and had already come, in his life of
30 years', fifteen times. I!ut on this occa
sion its monotony promised to be relieved
by an apparition that had j'ust como up the
cimpaniou way, in the person of Miss Nel
ly Egerton, and was now standing somewhat
uncertainly in the door, waiting for the ves
sel to resume its equilibrium and allow a
safe exit.
Hawthorne seemed to have some intui
tive consciousness of her approach, for he
turned around and called out with a wel
coming smile. 'Wait a moment, Miss Eg
erton, and I'll givo you a hand.'
lint she had already come out, deftly bal
ancing herself, anil accepting his prollered
aid only ns the ship gave another lurch nnd
sent her sliding down toward the railing.
'What a breezy day !' sho exclaimed,
merrily, grasping the rail and tosing hack
the strands of hair which tho wind blew
out from underneath the picturesque little
hat and chased about her forehead.
'It's with us, though, Miss Egerton, and
we can bear it with equanimity.' '
'Aren't we making a very good run, Mr.
Hawthorne ?'
The gentleman nodded. 'Very good, if it
only keeps up,'
'ou'roall alono ou hoard, aren't you
Miss Egerton ?' he asked.
'I'm sure I feel so,' she replied. 'Mad
ame Da la Vigne came with mo to Havre,
but sinco wo left I have hardly spoken to a
soul ; aud besides yourself, Mr, Hawthorne,
there isn't nii'ither English person on
board.'
'I!ut you're not altogether English, Miss
Egerton ; your accent at least suggests some
loreign element.
'My mother was French,' sho said, 'and I
lived in France ever since I was a little girl.
I was born, though, in India, l'a pa and
mamma both died there,' sho continued, af
ter a minute 'papa first, and mamma knew
nnlhinj about his relatives, and hadn't any

fi lend Mrs. Lancaster, wiio had taught her
English ut Madame De la Vigno's pension
in Tours. And so I grew up there, and used
to talk English to Mis. Lancaster and
French to Madame, until Jlrs. Lancaster
died, nnd Madame, nnd I came to Paris
whero we've given French nnd English les

since. That was two years ago,'
'And now you're going to America ?'
'Yes, Mr. Hawthorne,'
For the first time ?'
'Yes.'
'And you expect to enjoy it, no doubt?'
'I hoputo, Sir. Hawthorne.'
'You have friends in New York?' he
ventured after a moment to ask, not so much
from curiosity as gpimine interest in her
lonely condition. Hut the simple allirma
llvo which she gave checked any further in
quiry. iso the days went on, each one wearing off
a little of the young girl's shyness and re
verse, aud confirming Ralph's purpose to
win it altogether away, aud secure that last
bit of her confijeuce which she still care
fully withheld, And yet, intimate as their
relations had become and confidential ns
sho was in all things but this, day followed
day, and the end of the voyage drew near,
and still Italph had not learned the purpose
of her journey. And before he did learn it
tho knowledge came to him that he had now
more than a mere curiosity in Nelly Eger
ton's affairs, aud more than a compassion for
hcrloneliues', and that it was now with the
'interest aud auxietyol love for this pretty,
wnrm-heartcd, puzzling little foreigner that
he awaited her final disclosure.
It was a mild, moonlight cvcnlnp, tho
vessel was nlthln tight hours of Sandy
Honk, with tho pilot ou board and the sea
more than usually smooth. Italph and
Nelly were standing behind tho wheel house
watching tho phosphorus which lit up tho
wake of the vrssel.
They had been silent for a few moments
when she lin;an to speak in the low, quiet
voice that had tome lo bo the sweetest of
muic to him.
'Mr, Hawthorne,' she said, softly, 'I think
I ought to tell why I am CNtning over to
New York, It's only because one feels some
hesitation in talking about some things that
I haven t told you before.'
I told you,' she went on, 'that I had
friends In America. I might properly have
aid ouo Iripnd.'
Then there was another paup, and though
hr faco was turned a littlo ono side, llilph,
somewhat perplexed r.s to what It means,
could seo the rising blush in tho inoou-
light.
Her voico was "till a littlo lower ns she
aid, 'I am going to New York to bo mar
ried, Mr. Hawthorne.'
Perhaps a cloud passed over the moon
ju-t then, or it miy be that the shipsudden-
ly lurched ; at all events, Hawthorne felt n
sen-e of momentary darkness, nnd grasped
the rail to maintain Ills centre of gravity.
It was only fur an Instant, though ; and
Nelly, looking out towards tho distant hori-
ziti, till! no' detent any emotion in his face,
or even his voice, when he quickly asked :
'lhe gentlemin n American?'
Nelly nodded somewhat abstractedly, 'I
met him in Paris about a year and a half
ago,' she said, in her -oft undertone. 'He
is an nrtist, and used to cuno to Madame for
French lcs'0n. Wo were to have been
married in Paris, Mr. Hawthorne, this
week; but when it camo lo making out the
nete-sary leal papers I couldn't tell the
namo of tho place in India where I was
born, and they wouldn't let the marriage go
on. John' nnd here there was ju-t the
slightest change i'l her intleclinn 'told the
name of the place a:i I remembered it, but
it turned out to be a province, nnd not a
town, and they thought John wanted to
evade the law and were very atijry. Then
John thought it best to go over to America
at once, especially as he was near through
the ecole, and wo would have gone anyhow
aftervard ; and so he took the steamer last
week, arranging that I should follow him
in this one. I felt as though I ought to tell
you all this,' she continued, natively ; 'you
have been so very kind that I didn't want to
hold back anything.'
'I am very grateful for your confidence,
Mis Egerton,' he said, as quietly as be
fore. 'Perhaps you know him, Mr. Hawthorne,'
she went on, in the same tone, altogether
uiisu-picious of his state of mind, and hesi
tating just a breath of time beforo withdraw
ing the last remnant of her reserve, 'his
name is lirevoort John lirevoort.'
'llrevoort ?' he repeated questioningly,
'Oh, of course Theodore, you mean ?'
Her blue eyes opened wonderingly.
'No, Mr. Hawthorne, his middle name is
Temple, net Theodore. Theodore is the
younger brother, you know.'
l!ut Hawthorne's lips were angrily com
pressed. And while ho mechanically said ;
'Oh, ye ; you aie quite right it is John
Templo lirevoort,' his thoughts were run
ning on tuinultuously in another vein.
'John lirevoort,' ho hastily soliloquized ;
'why he's engaged to Agatha Freser, und
old Mrs. Dujcliinck has died and left th
girl a lortuue, and llrevoort is the last man
in the world to givo up money. And this
little girl has got to go on and find it out
forhirself, and break her heart, perhaps,
over the contemptible scalawag.' And fur
getting his own troublp, and never thinking
what advantage he might derive from this
new situation, all the love and sympathy of
his nature went out to Nelly in a fruitless
longing to do something that might avert
the blow. And yet ho could no '.more than
say, 'I hope you will bo very happy, Miss
Esrerton,' knowing, as ho spoke, it was the
nearest kind of mockery.
They did not discuss it any more then,she
from shyness and he from aversion and sore
ness of heart, noi did any additional facts
about lirevoort transpire, except that Nelly
expected to meet him on tho wharf, or, fail
ing which, to go at once to Mrs, Molntyre's
boarding house, in Thirty eighth street an
address which lirevoort had given her to be
used in such an emergency.
It was a beating littlo heart that rested
against tho taffrail tho next day as the ship
was swinging around into the dock, and a
pair of eager eyes that scanned tho crowd
upon the wharf to iee if John llrevoort was
not among the rest. To be sure, Mr. Haw
thorne had suggested that tho vesel was in
before sho was due, and Mr. llrevoort, not
expecting lier arrival, might fail to receive
promptly the news telegram announced tho
fact. Hut Nelly wasn't u-ed to business
complications, und whilo grateful for the
cimsideralenrss which sought to spare her
any disappointment, yet felt entirely con
vinced that John would bo there.
And ns yet she couldn't see him. It was
entirely tvldent, indeed, that .Mr. John
lirevoort was not ou hand, aud Mr. Italph
Hawthorne scored a mental self-congratulation
that he him-elf was. And yet he would
not suggest anything, preferring that she
should regulale her own movements. Alter
a few moments though, her eyes wero turned
up to his with a l.iok ot helpless appeal as
she said, 'I think I had better go to that
boarding place, Mr, Hawthorne,' So Sir.
Hawthorne called a cab and the two spout
an hour in tho vain search for a boarditg
house that had no existence.
'Now, Miss Egerton,' said her protector at
last, 'There's a nice old house down in Mor
ton street, where a friend of mine, a good
mothvrly soul, boards it lew people. If you
haven't any objections we'll go there, and
I'll tell her she must tako you in. Then
you can give me a note, and I'll send it at
once to llrevoort, and before night all your
anxieties will be over.'
'That's au outrageous fabelnod,' thought
Hawthorne, 'but I csu't leave tho dear little
girl without n ray ol hope.'
About y o'clock that evening there came
a ring at the door of the littlo houo in
Morton street, aud a voice was heard in-
quiring fur Mis Egerton. It proved to be
lirevoort, the father, not the sou, and he ex
plained without extenuation or apology all
of John Temple Hrevoor''s r 'ica'ity, not
even taking care to tan it uy a mnuer name,

promptly and firmly nsked out of tho
hou'c.
Well, she didn't die hut she went up Id
her room dazed with the reality nf what had
been before only a ttlsmal apprehension.
It was tho next evening beforo Mr. Haw
thorne appeared, and Nelly was almost un
wlllirg to admit to herself how much sho
anticipated his coming, and quite afraid to
go down in tho prtrlor to meet him. Hut
when hocnme In tho room so dalntly array
ed in one of her Paris drecses, and with two
or three of his fragrant buds interwoven
with (he pretty Paris necktie at her throat,
wllh jut a shade of embarras-ment in lhe
bin-blue face, and a little tremor in the low
voice that bade him 'good evening ' ho only
clasped her hand and said soltly, 'Yes, Miss
Egerton, I know.'
And sho stored this away wllh the other
instances of his considerate regard. And
Ralph never told her how he knew, or ol
lhe Interview which had passed between Mr.
John llrevoort upon lhe delivery of the let
ter, whereat Mr. John llrevoort had be
sought lUlph lo convey tho tale of his de
sertion, and Italph Intel told llrevoort that if
it were nut for getting the thing into the
newspapers ho would give him a sound
thrashing.
It was perhaps r week af'er thi', when
she had already consulted Ralph about her
return to France, aud he had advicd wait
ing still longsr, that he came one evening
with a novel and uiilooked proposition, It
was that she should uceept it position as
teacher of French. And Nell), like the
bravo little soul that she was, after not more
than a day's thought, wondering, too, all the
time wliy .Mr. Haw thorne was so kind and
solicitous in the matter, resolved to stay and
fight it nut in New York rather than g)
back forsaken to Madame De la Vigue.
At last when spring had come and the
roes wera blooming, one day Nelly and
Italph rode over to llrooklyn, and through
Prospect Park, and down to the sea shore,
where the fresh ocean lireezo brought back
to each the memory of their earlier acquain.
tance. So they sat down on the beaeh and
linked out toward the lu rizui, where a pass
ing steamer lelt a long line of smoke in his
wake.
'What would you think,' he asked, idly
gathering up a handful of sand and letting
it trickle through his fingers, 'of going back
next month to M edame I)e la Vigne ?'
Nelly looked at him with wondering
eyes. 'To give up herj?' she asked, in be
wilderment. Kalph nodded.
'And to leave Mrs. Pennington ?'
Another afiirmative nod.
'For good ?'
'I trust not for bad.'
'Hut, Sir. Hawthorne, is there any reason
why ?'
'I think, perhaps, you had better, Miss
Egerton,'
And then, with all her perplexity, there
came a sudden senc of how much this go
ing away would cost her, nnd a little spirit
of rebellion against his proposition.
'Hut I can't think of it, Mr. Hawthorne,'
she expostulated, without knowing just why,
If there's any good reason ' And there she
stopped, with an unspoken invitation in her
puzzled face that he should give her more
lixht.
'Well,' he said, looking up somewhat
amii'cdlv, there is a reason.'
lint Nelly did not ask for it, and her face
grew hot, and the blue eyes drooped be
neath his steady glance.
'I am going myself,' ho continued, 'and I
thought perhaps you would liko company.'
Aud then the old pain, which Nelly
thought he had laid away witli l.er faded
memories comes hack. Ah, Nelly! How
dimal now the thought of staying at home!
And how wearily Nelly, impatient with her
sell, aud trying all she can to keep from cry
ing, turn i away her head aud looks out
across ti e water, wondering in a vague un
certain way what it all means !
Hut it was short-lived trouble, nnd the
tenderness of bis next words took half of
the pain away.
'Do you suppose,' ho akcd so quietly,
that her timid eyes sought his with the con
fidence of a child, 'that I am going to leave
you here all alone ? You don't want to be
lelt alone, do you Nelly ?'
It was the first time that he had ever call
ed her that : the first time, indeed, sho had
heard the name in mouths ; and the novel
ty of it so startled her that she quite lot the
sense of what else he had said. So among
her blushes she gave him a quick, uncertain
glance, that led him tc repeat ;
'You don't want nie lo leave you hero
alone, do you ?'
And then it seemed to Nelly as though all
of a sudden tho sun had gtown very hot,
and nil his rays were concentrated on her
cheeks.
'It will be dreadful warm here in the sum
mer,' ho continued, 'and everybody will go
away ; and even if you go to the couutry
you'll bo shut up in some stuffy boarding
house, and have an awful stupid time, in
deed, Nelly, even If you don't care a bit
about me, you'll have to marry mo in sell
defense.'
'Hut, Mr, Hawthorne,' hesitating and
speaking very low,
'Well, Nelly?'
'Oh !' the exclaimed bravely, for all ber
blushes aud hef tears, 'you're so good, how
could I hcip caring ''
'And then you will go ?' he asked, laugh
ing at her embarrassment, anil kissing away
the rain drops from the lluslird cheeks.
'If you say so, Mr, Hawthorne' shyly.
'Well, I do say so, audi won't trust you
to go alone, cither. I am going to make
sure of you, Nelly, before I go, and there
isn't any odi ius law 1 kuow of it there to pre
vent it. Though I oughtn't to revile the
French law,' ho added, rellctively, touch
ing her cheek lightly with his lips, as if in
acknowledgement of all that the law
had done fir him, 'since it lias provided me
willi a wife. And what a lucky thing for
me, Nelly, that you never knew where you
were born !'
And Nelly, whose healing heart has no
longer any room lor soreness or wounded

her eyes aud tho happy smile on her half,
averted face to Ralph's etuphatiu sentiment.

Interesting to learn from an elaborate calcu

source, tint after making full nllowanco for
lhe labor af all the men employed from the
beginning, and all tho money sunk, tho resi-
luo shows a better icturn than any other in
vestment in this couutry. It mu-t not bo
forgotten that this is an average, and that
the fortunes of two or three bomnzi kings
balance the loscs of thousands of poor men ;

It is to be noticed that bore, as in other
similar regions, public interc't is continually
attracted to new discoveries and a floating
population at once drawn thithei; and events
move so rapidly that an account of the state
of affairs in the mining region may bo stale
belore it is in type. On tho other hand, it
may bo said that even if souio of tho people
go away, the mines remain, and the silver
and gold como out just as surely and easily
as before; and a larger area than ever is now

about these mines aud their operation, and
still much bo left unsaid; and perhaps indeed.
in view ol tho rapid movement of events, the
writer of such a work stands in greater dan

attempts some random sketches of the haunts
and ways of tho 'honest miner' so first

sought his suffrages. Mr. Harlo declares
that when sets nf pictures portraying the

The frightful explosion of the celluloid
works at Newark, New Jersey, and Iobs of
lile recently has paused many pcoplo to in
quire how celluloid is made and for what pur
pose it is usid Dr. W, 11, Wahl tells in
the Journal nj Imilmtiy what celluloid is and
how it is made. Hritlly defined, celluloid, he
says, is a species of solidified collodion, pro
duced by dissolving gun-cotton (pyroxylin) in
camphor with the aid of heat and pressure
Tho guu-eiitliiu is gtouud iu a water to a Cno
pulp in u machine similar to that used in
grinding paper pulp. The pulp is then sub
jected to powerful pressure in a perforated
vessl to extmet the bulk of tho moisture,
but stiP le.t.'ing it slightly moist for tho next
cpira'ion This cousins in thoroughly in
corporiti'ig linoly comminuted gum camphor
with the moist gun cotton pulp. The pro
portion etnpliyed aie said lo be ono part
by weight of camphor to two parts by weight
of the pulp. With this mixture any color
ing matters required can now bo incorporat
ed Tho nxt step is to subject the mass
to a pun ci Till pressure in eider to expel from
it the remaining traces of moisture and in
cidentally to cll'cct also tho more intimate
contact of tho camphor with tho pulp, Tho
dried and compressed mass is next placed in
a in uld, open at the top into which fits a
so'id plunger A heavy hydraulic pressure is
biought to bear upon the plunger, and at tho
same limn tlio luixuuc is heated by means
of a steam jacket suriounding the vessel to
a lempcialuro of about 300 Fahrenheit.
When the mass is taken out of the press
it hardens, mid acquires the ordinary tough
ness an 1 elasticity which are tho distil-giii-hitig
characteiistics of this remarkable
product. Celluloid is very largely used is
a substitute for ivory, which is imitated with
great success. Tortoise shell, malachite,
mother of parl, coral, ami other coUly and
clegaut materials, are also so successfully
imitated that an expert can hardly detect
the uiigin.il from the copy. Celluloid is also
used as a substitute for porcelain in tho
manufacture ofdolls, which will stand x good
