THE DAUQETEH-IH-LAW. Are wo nlmost there, Chariest t' 'Do yon see that old moss-grown roof, with Uio liuce brick chimney, peeiritig lip among tho apple blossoms? That in tho housi'.' Laura's heart gave an involuntary throb. Would thev welcome her as a new (lauglitert Would they love herf Clinrlfu l'age smiled as ho read tho thought passing through her mind. JJo not icar, jjttura ; I ao not Know who could help loving youl' Laura smiled a little doubtfully : she could hardly expect tho wholo world to look at her with her young Iiu9uand b eyes. Uld Mrs. l'ago stooa at the larm lousu door in her best black silk, with her "company can" and white ribbons, as the stage coach rolled up a hard featured old lady, with silver streaked hair brushed nway from her wrinkled ioreliead, and nauOu.on wlncn .tho net work of veins stood up like knotted cord. Her welcoming kiss ww like tho peck of a bird of prey so cold and hard did it seem against Laura's cheek. Mother I whispered Liaurn, soitiy. 'I am very glad to see you Mrs. Charles,' said the old lady.. 'So you aro Charlies now wile, hoy! said Farmer Page from tho sitting room ; 'and a tall, well grown girl, too. Come in, como in 1 Tea's most readv, and I dare say you'll be glad of a cup.' There was something that passed like the chilled breath of an iceberg across Laura's heart as sho entered, leaning on her husband's arm. It was not tho welcome she had expected and hoped for; and involuntarily she felt that her mother-in-law's cold, criticising eye was upon her, and with no favors- lie glance. '1 s'noso you've been brought up to work ? said Mrs. Page, senior. No : Laura could not say that sho had. 'Can you wash and iron your hus band's shirts V 'No.' Can you make bread?' J 'I never tried.' 'Cannot cook at all?' 'I am afraid not ma'am.' 'Humph !' At this Btajre Charles, who had been watching tho deepening color ou Laura's cheek with some annoyance, broke in: 'But sho can speak two or three dif ferent languages, mother, and paint beautifully, aud I wish you could read some of the poetry she has written.' 'Humph!' again enunciated the mother-in-law. 'Languages, painting nnd poetry stuff won't make the kettle boil, you'll find, young lady.' 'She has been taught in a seminary, mother,' the young husband interposed, 'where she has had no opportunity to learn the useful things you speak of. 11 in good time. Komowasnt lmilt in a daw' But Mrs. Page, with her thin lips set close together, was busying herselt about tho tea table. Sho need not hnvo taken tho trouble Lnur.i'B nppetito was pretty effectually destroyed. 'Come, darling,' said Charles, 'I want to show you tho path to tho spring in the woods.' Old Mrs. Pago looked contemptuous ly after them. 'That's all she's worth,' she muttered, 'to look at pretty things and liston to honeyed speeches. 1 wonder where Hiram Pago would bo now if I had been cut out after that paternt' In shoit, it was nu iulinito relief all around when tho short visit came to mi end and Chailes took his young wife back to his home, Lama was depress ed and nielcancholy, and Charles, though he would not have confcubcd it even to himself, was a littlo prejudiced ny inu strong opinions expressed oy both father and mother on the subject of his matrimonial choice. Scarcely six months had passed over the horizon of their married life, how ever, when clouds camo to darken it. Charles Pngo was only ti clerk in a bank bm, this humble salury had proved sullicieiit for hiimelf and Laura. Con. sequontly, one nigjit returning lato from business, ho slipped and broko his right ankle m badly that a severo illness followed t it brought tho grim phantom poverty neater to them than it was at nil pleasant. 'Wo won't let tho old folks at homo know of it, Laura,' said the young clerk, trying to tpeak cheerfully. 'I'm afraid they're in trouble themselves about that note my father indorsed for old Mill man, and I dure say wo shall get along nicely with a littlo economy.' Lnum was sitting by her husband's bedside ono dreary November twillight, when theio was an unwonted bustle at tho door below a throwing down of trunks and shrill articulntlon of voices. Sho hastened to tho head of tho stairs it was Farmer Pngo and his wlfel 'Wo hnvo no homo of our own now,' said Mrs. Page, senior, speaking bitter ly and loud, 'and wove como to stay ,iii, .i ...... .if ., am i . . . i.tvi. j un i.Kit jvui nti, con vnuuir 'No home of your own, mother?' 'No thanks to your father, who would indorse thnt noto for old Mill- man, nnd ho's lost every cent just wnat no might navo cxpoctcu, i think nnd wo ro ns good ns beggars in our old ago I But, dear me, what's tho matter Uharles 7 Then followed explanations nnd ro citals, much to tho relief of Farmer rage, who had instinctively slunk into tho back ground until tho violence of his wifo's wrath should have subsided. 'And you'ro no better off than wo be!' sighed Mrs. Page, glancing sadly around the room. 'Ah h 1 this is what comes of ilno ladies for wives 1' It was not exactly n logical con clusion, but it seemed to afford wond rous consolation to the old woman who immediately untied her bonnet-strings, nnd prepared to 'mako herself at home. 'Is this money in tho pockot-book nil yon'vo got left, Charles?' demanded his mother, about ten days after their unexpected arrival. 'Yes, mother.' 'Only fivo dollars; nnd tho rent will come duo to-morrow, and thero's a bill for groceries enough to mako ono's hair stand on end nnd ns for milk, I don't seo how men can sleep at' night who chargo ten cents n quart for milk that's half water. And nobody knows how much tho doctor's bill is going to be, and Bridget's wages but I'll dis charge her to-morrow morning. If your wife can't do tho housework of theso few rooms, I can.' Charley Pago closed his eyes wearily, and pressed his hands upon his throb bing temples. It was not tho best course of treatment for n feverish patient, this enumeration of domestic troubles ; but old Mrs. Page had nover been ill herself, and consequently made littlo allowanco for the weak and worn out stato of her sou. 'I don't know what Laura's doing up in her room,' said tho old lady. 'She had a great deal better buy a wash-tub and a bar of yellow soap, and do the family washing instead of putting it out and spending her timo writing poetry.' 'Laura has been tho most tender and devoted of nurses to me, and I will listen to no aspersions of her conduct,' interrupted Charles Page, indignantly- 'Mrs. Page screwed her lips tightly together, as she turned tho solitary noto over aud over, but she ventured on no more derogatory remarks down stairs. Creepinc like a veritablo pussy-cat up tho staircase, sho entered her daughter-in-law's apartment with the stealthy movement peculiar to that quadruped. 'Painting, eh, Mrs. Charles? Let me tell you I think it's your duty to attend a little more to the housework and less to your fino amusements up here. Do you see this noto ? it's all wo'vo got left in the house, and if you think it's 'going to support you in idleness you'ro mis taken. 'Is Charles alone, mother?' 'Yes, ho is alone ; but as I wao say ing. '1 think we had better join him. Old Mrs. Patre hobbled down after Laura's graceful movements, grumbling as sho went. 'Laura,' said her husband with a troubled face, 'mother tells mo that our funds are getting low 'Only a live-dollar bill loft, said tho old lady clutching at it greedily, as if fearful that it would tako wings unto itself and vanish into thin air. 'And,' resumed her son, 'what aro we to do ?' Might as well nsk advivo of the biggist wax doll in tho shop around the corner,' grumbled Mrs. Page, solo voce. 'See Charles.' Laura had opened her littlo portc- monnaie, and was showering its con tents on the bed, eloso to Charles's hand. 'My gracious mo 1' ejaculated tho old lndy, 'where did nil theso bills como from !'

JJtiring tho sum mer season tho seals froqlient the shore of theso islands and gather on the beach in vast numbers. Tho vouuiier mnlo or bull seals aro tho only ones that nro Kiucti, and thoy nro ioutid nsscmblod by themselves nwny fromjtho brooding rookeries. Tho natives tro down to tho beach in early morning and quietly surround n group ot n Hundred or moro seals, getting between them and tho water. Tho peals are then alarmed with shouts and cries, and, terrified, 3 Inland along tho only way loft open, cy aro driven in this wnv to tho killing placo near tho villngo on tho shores of tho island. Driving them is n very easy thintr. nlthoUBh it tnkea them somo timo to accomplish tho dis tance ; but thev blunder alone, stimu lated by tho cries of their captors The old bull seals that may bo in tho drovo nro apt to show Unlit, but if thev do tlioy aro nllowed to drop out of tho crowd, as their skins are worthless. Tho younger ones aro as e.-wy to drivo as a llock of sheep. I ho seals, when finally driven up on tho Hats between tho east landing nnd tho village, nnd nlmost under tho windows of tho dwellings, nro herded there until cool and rested. Tho drives aro usually mado very early in the morn ing, nt the first breaking of day, which is half-past l or 2 o'clock of Juno and July ot these latitudes. They arrive and cool oif on tho slaughtering grounds, so that by G or 7 o'clock, nfter Jbreak- last, tho able-bodied tnalo population turn out from tho village and go down to engaire in t! o work of Blauchter. The men nro dressed in their ordinary working garb of thick flannel shirts, stout cassimere or canvas pants, over which the "tatbossa" boots aro drawn ; if it rains thoy wear their "kamlaikas," made of the intestines and throats of tho sea lion and fur seal. Thus dress ed, they aro each armed with a club, a stout oaken or hickory bludgeon, which nave ueen; mado particularly lor tho purpose nt Now London, Conn., and imported hero for this especial service These sealing clubs aro about fivo or six feet in length, threo inches in diam eter at tho heads, nnd tho thickness of a man's forearm whero they aro grasped by the hands. Each native has his stabbing knife, his skinning knife, and his whetstono ; theso arc laid upon the grass convenient when the work of braining or knocking tho seals down is in progress. This is all tho appara tus which they have for killing and skinning. When tho men gather for work they aro under tho control of their chosen foreman, or chiefs ; usually on St. Paul, divided into two working parties at tho village, and asnb-party at a North east point, where another salt-houso nnd slaughtering field is established. At tho signal of tho chief, tho work of the day begins by the men stepping into tho drove, corralled on the flats, aud driving out 100 or loO seals at a time, mako what thoy call a pod, which they surround in a circle, huddle tho seals one on another as they narrow it down, until they are directly in reach, and under their clubs. Then tho chief, after ho Inn cast his experienced oyo over the struggling, writhing mass asses the word that such aud such a eal is bitten and that such and such a seal is too old ; the attention of his men being called to these points, he gives tho word strike, aud instantly tho heavy clubs como down all around, and overy ono that is eligible is stretched out stunned and motionless in less time really than I tako to tell it. Thoso seals spared by tho chief now strugglo irom under andover the bodies ot their nsensiblo companions nnd pass, hustled off by the natives, back to tho sea. Then the carcasses aro skinned, and the pells prepared lor shipment. The common or popular notion in re gard to seal skins is that they aro worn oy inosu miliums just as tnoy appear when offered for (.nlo; that the fur-seals swim about. exposing tho samo soft coat with which our ladies of fashion so delight to cover their tender forms during inclement winter. This is a very great mistake ; few skins aro less attractive than is tho seal skin when it is taken from tho creature. Tho fur is not visible ; it is concealed entirely by a coat of stiff overhair. dull, urrnv- brown, aud grizzled. It takes three of them to make a lady s sack and boa. Fitting them for tho market is a tedi ous, costly process, requiring great skill. As tho summer wanes the seals for- sako the islands, and old and young taiies to me sea, and it ts supposed spend their intervening months, until next season, on tho fishing banks of tho North Pacific.

Among tho latest surprises that scicnoo has furnished is tho euro of consumption by vaccination. Recently Dr. Wcsloy Miller, a famous physician, read a paper entitled "Prevention of Tiibomiilnr Disease in Mnn and Domes tic Animals," beforo tho. Now York Acadomv of Science. Tho paper was called out by the recent researches of Dr. Koch, Government Adviser in tho Imperial Health Department of Berlin, who discovered that consumption could bo convoyed by inocculation. Dr Mil ler pointed out thnt a relatrd diseases might bo transmitted from man to ani mals by means of inocculation nnd book from animals to man, thus giving protection from or lessening the sovcri- y ot disease, rastctir, no said, iounu hat his chickens when inoculated with a miticated virus of chicken cholera were fortified not against this disease only, but against anthrax; audit has also been shown that when animals nro accinatod with bovinu virus, as in propogating vaccine to prevent small pox in man, this operation gives im munity to tho animal from otlier con tagious diseases. Though this is not a princinlo to bo relied upon, no' such vicarious action in other cases has been known to exist. Vaccination as elec tricity, tho essayist said, is a mysteri ous agency that exists in lifo itself, and nil wo can do is simply to retider it harmless, transform it into different degrees of virulence, and modify its character, as a preventive. Tho essay ist referred to a paper written by him in 1873, in which ho alleged thp possi bility of preventing consumption of tho lungs in man by means of vaccina tion with the modified form of 'tuber culosis of tho bovine. Expcririicnts of this sort wero made by him. But this modified virus was first rendered harm less by having been carried through a scries of generations of the bovine animal. Dr. .Miller expressed, tho bo lief that at no distant day a proventiyo for consumption, would bo ,found in accmation. Tho Detroit Free Press, referring to tho strike of tho iron workers, gets off tho following sarcastic remarks in showing up the false promises., of tho iron masters in 1880 when they wero forcing their men to voto tho Republi can ticket. Tho workincmen .wero uped into voting as their employers 'ished on tho plea that tho tariff regu lated wages and their only hope of re ceiving living wages was to keep- tho Republican party in power.. They vot ed as their employers wished and now havo tho result in, being denied living wages and tho iron mills shut down because they demanded wages propor tionate to tho immense profits of. their mployers : "The striko of tho hundreds of thousands of iron .workers in this coun try is absurd and rcdiculous., Their wngesiaro-"high" "higher, than thoso of any other country on tho globe." This is tho "paradise of workingmen." Protection has made it so. Protection gives them their high wages ; assures them employment; feeds them and clothes them luxuriously ; makes them contented with their lot; always, "as surcs them of a liomo market," so that they not only need not be out of work, but thoy can always obtain work at wages which enables them to live like princes. Two years ago the shops and manufactures which are now aban doned by or shut agaiust these work ingmen were placarded wun tno com parative prices paid to labor in this country and in Europe. The men were told that unless they voted as their employers wauted them to vote, either their wages would bo reduced to tho scale of foreign wages or their em ployers, would shut up their shops alto gether. No change has been made in tho tarilt since then. Tho rato on iron is still as it was then, nearly the high est imposed on any protrected article, and yet theso men want higher wages. Thoy say they can't earn money enough to pay for the increased cost of living. Thereupon their employers closo their establishments. In other words, what they predicted as tllo fato of their warkingmen, in caso of their . . . ,. .i i i ii nub vuuiig us inuy wisucu, nus auiuauy como to pass in case of their voting as they wished. This, of course, is ab surd, and tho workincmen oucht to know better." The Price of Meat. The present high prico of meat seems to bo tho result of cliquo manipulation, sinco tho government contracts for beef lurnished to the Indian agencies havo been mado for tho ensuing year at prices not greately different from for mer years, tho rates in somo instances being oven less. There can, therefore, bo no scarcity of cattlo on the Western plains, which aro tho great reservoir of our beof supplies. American beof sent to tho English market is supplied to it at prices lower than thoso charged in our seaport markets. This evidenco that tho prices wo aroasked to pay aro unnatural and thorestilt ol combination on tho part of tho purveyors of our markets seems strong. How tho thing is dono ought not to remain long a se cret from tho interested efforts of tho great newspapers of Now York to elu cidate it. Tho meat inquiry is ono which thoy can very profitably take up. It would pay tho ieraWa readers bet tcf to know why it is thnt thoy aro charged high prices for beef than to bo iiiiormea oi tno exact appoareneo ot things around the North Polo: and tho information can bo had at a uood deal less cost and risk. riio market for boef in Now York controls that in tho country, becnuso it is tho chiof distributing point, It is a surprising fnot that all tho best beef used on tho Southern Atlnntio sen coast comes from Now York ; it goes from tho city to tho country. Ono would think this would bo nn unnatural meth od of supply. Tho South ouerht to raise beef onough for its consumption. It does raise it in abundance, but tho qunltity is not good. -Tho cattlo aro not iaiteuod properly. Poor beof is choap enough ; the high cost cornea with tho qunltity. Perhaps this explains wny inu maiKci lor good oeot is so readily manipulated. The supply may bo so limited as toennblo it to bo ensily controlled Lancaster Intelligencer. NKVKlt YMIS. Mr. J.
