SELECT STORY.
A GHASTLY WEDDING QUEST.
In that beautiful rind retired locality
of Autouil, Bitimtoil near the northern
end of tho Boin do' Boulogne near
Patin, Henri Pilet tirst saw tliu light of
day. Ilia early life had boon spent, as
was ouelomaty with children of well-to-do
people, in quiet routine of country
exi'tenco.
When still a inero boy in years ho
had formed a ma J infatuation for the
daughter of a widow whose buib.nid
had been of excellent connections, so
cially and financially, in the gray capi
tal, but who, overtaken by misfortune,
had retired to Autouil to Gnd himelf
deserted alike by his former financial
and social friends. His pecuniary em
barrassment, tbgether with his sudden
retirement from active pursuits, had
provod too much for his apparently
excellent physique, and he soon broke
down under the strain and constant
brooding, aud Madam Vaupil found
herself a widow and Mademoiselle Julie
an orphan.
Madam Vaupil was then thrown
upon tho caro of a wealthy uncle in
Paris who continued to provide for her
and educated Julie.
Tho attachment between mother and
daughter was touching. Thev seemed
never so happy as when in eaoh others'
corapiny.
Chance had thrown Henri and Julio
togethor, and'in their youthful wander
ings through Gelds and by-ways they
nnd seen much ot eacu other.
The fondness whioh at first charac
terized Henri's feeling toward Julio
soon, by tuoir constant associations,
ripened into love, and Henri, at the
age of 20, found himself madly infat
uated with the charming Julio.
This feeling of love was returned by
the young girl, and Madam Vaupil
seemed overjoyed at the happiness of
her child.
Tho young lovers never tired ot re
lating to each' other bright dreams for
the luturo aud building grand castles
wherein they Bhould take their abode
when they should become one From
these dreams camo a harsh awakening.
One day Julie came to her lover shaken
with grief, to tell him that they must
part.
Her good unole, who had so kiudly
provided for her mother and herself,
had died.
Madam Vaupil, as his only heiress,
must leave at "once for Paris to take
charge of his, effects and receive the
large fortune that his death had en
tailed. Sad was their parting, yet their crief
was' somewhat assuaged by a mutual
promise that they would correspond
eaoh day.
Soon the mother and daughter were
ensoonced in the houso of the late
'uncle.
, Splendor reigned on every side aud
the hopes and ambitions of fonuor days
were awakened from their slumber in
the heart of Madam Vaupil. Then,
her ambition was for the advancement
of her husband. Now, her dauahter
was the object of her constant thought.
Gradually tho letters from Henri,
whioh she had awaited with almost tbo
same impatience as her daughter, were
received by her with indifference.
By degrees his name, which was al
ways on her child's lips, would oauso
tho smile on her face to disappear and
a cloud to cross tbo surface of her ma
ternal brow.
The loving child in tho rcstacy of
her lovo for the absent Henri, did uot
notico the change that was being
wrought in the mind of her mother.
Tho period of mourning being
passed, Madam Vaupil began to give
thought as to when her charming
daughter should make her entrance in
that society in which she had moved
in the financial downfall of her hus
band. It came, and although mademoiselle'
debut was a success, she received tho
oft-repeated flatteries with indiifcrenoe,
her whoio soul being wrapt in the love
that went out to her eurly life orer
whicd was spread the soft and ingratu
lating perfume of country fields and
dowers.
Among the hosts of friends that
paid homage to Madam Vaupil and
her daughter was ono who received
special and affectionate welcomes from
madam. Monsieur Boutcgat, a wealthy
banker, was the individual: About' 40,
handsome in person and bolished in
manner, ho would bo likely to cause a
throb in any maternal heart at tho pros-
?ect of haying such a man for a eon
n-law.
In tho innooent heart of Julio not
the lightest glimmer of her mother's
growing determination cast its shadow.
She still continued to write to Ifenri,
and in proportion to tho length of time
that had elapsed since she had been
separated from her lover, so her tender
heart yearned lo have him near her.
The inevitable tupture between
mother aud daughter soon came.
One morning Madame Vaupil camo
upon Julio as she sat in her room ver
ily devouring a letter which she held
iu her hand. On being asked by her
mother from whom it was, she answered
from Henri. This, together with the
intenlness with which Julie had been
reading tho epistle aud the indifferonce
sho displayed toward Monsieur Boi'te
gat, seemed to arouse the slumbering
ire of madam. In exoited tones she
asked her daughter why bIiu wasted
her thoughts with such an uncouth
country lad when she could havoher
choice from the ranks of wealth and
society. Was not Monsieur Boutcgat
an excellent gentlo'mant Why did
she treat his attentions with such indif
ference ! At last light dawned upon
the miud of the confiding girl.
Tne worst was yet to come, how
ever.
Upon Julie telling her mother that
nothing could sever the lovo that she
bore for Henri, madam, to the utter
horror of the girl, flow ituo a towering
passion aud forbado hor daughter
writing further to the youth at Au-
tcull.
Although it almost broke hor heart,
Julie obeyed tho command of her
mother.
Mouths rolled on and Henri's letters,
a greater Interval elapsing betweon
each, ceased,
Monsieur Boutouat oontluued to
press bis suit und proved himself an
anient lover, iseing wealthy, his ad
vances soemed all the more honorable,
as be surely could have no deaigus on
tho half million francks dowry that
Mademoiselle Julio would receive on
her marriage.
In tho mcantimo Henri Pilet, mad
denad at tho seeming hoartlessncss of
Julio, supposing that she, on finding
herself surrounded by wealth and lux
ury, had cast htm off for somo noble
aud wealthy suitor, determined to go
to Paris and endoavor to havo an Inter
view with tho idol of his heart.
With tho Intention of carrying out
this design Henri atrived in the groat
city, and fotthwith secured modest
apartments in tho Kuo uu Fouarro.
Tho next afternoon ho presented
himself at tho house of Madam Vaupil,
in tliu i'lace des Vosgcs.
IMng tihered into tho reception
room, ho anxiously nwaited the return
of tho scryant who had gone to an
nounce his presence.
Tho footman soon appeared with the
message that the mademoiselle was in
disposed and could not see him.
With a hoavy heart the young man
withdrew and retraced his steps to his
ohcerless abode.
Lifo had no beauty f6r him and tho
future stretched out beforo him a heavy
path of blank darkness. Not onco
ocly did tho waters of tho Seine seem
his only refugo from the miseries of
the present and the hopelessness of tho
future.
Unable to sleep, he got up that night
and wandered aimlessly through tbo
streets. Fivo o'clock struck in tho
gloomy towers, but he still strode on.
It was Sunday morning, and the stream
of pooplo wending their way to mass
turned to look at tho lonely youth, who
trudged on, wrapped in the mantlo of
his antagonizing grief.
As he neared a church into which
the people wero entering he thought
he heard his name called.
Supposing it was but his thoughts
that mocked him, he did not checicJbis
steps. Again thoro was tho calling of
his name, follswcd by a shriek, and be
foro be could look about him he felt his
neck encircled by a pair of tendor
arms.
Looking up he was both dazed and
overjoyed at beholding Julie clinging
. ur. l. 1 t 1 .1 1 . . . . i :
w uis ui'uk, uur ueuu uubuuu upon ma
breast. Ho feared to move, lest ho
should bo dreaming and should awake
to tho horrible reality of his loneliness
and misery. Her voice, whon she
spoke, reassured him.
"Henri, you in Paris, and never came
io see me. For shame I Had I gono
to our old homo at Auteuil, you
would have been the first one I should
have flown to see."
Noticing that they were attracting
the attention of the early churchgoers,
Henri led Julio into a side street and
beckoned her maid to follow, who had
been staring at the unwonted proceed
ing with open-mouthed amazement
As they walked Henri told Julie of
his visit to her house, and the servant's
statement that she could not sco him.
Julio protested that she had not known
of his presenco in Paris, let alone that
he had called upon her. Hor mother
must havo instructed the servant to
make the statement.
Then camo tho wholo story of Mad
am Vaupil's determination that sho
should cast off Henri aud wed the rich
Mr. Boutegat.
"But," said Henri, "if you do not
love him how can you marry him 1"
"Henri," she answered, "if I did not
lovo you I could marry M. Boutegat,
and at least make a dutiful, if not a
loving wife. But it would be only un
holy, un-Godly to marry a man when
one's soul ond life wont out- to another.
Yet, my mother,whom I so dearly love,
although sho has sorely tried my af
fection, is sick, completely prostiated,
and the doctor tells mo that unless her
irind is rolioved of a great burden fro.-n
which it evidently suffers a severe
strain, that sho miiBt surely succumb.
That tueanH, my poor love, that I must
marry JVl. lioutegat, or my mother,
who shares my whole life with you,
must die. Oh, Henri, it's horrible V
"Mon Dieu 1" exclaimed the now
half-distracted youug man, "it has
come to this 1 My lovo is a curse to
you, then. Do what you think is for
the best. lour mottier, who has
greatly wronged me, must not die.
Save her life, for she is your mother,
and I oould not bear to see you grieve
over her loss."
"Should I marry Ml Boutegat," said
the heart-broken girl, "will you prom
ise mo ono thing? It is more than I
ought to expect, I know, but will you
grant it1"
"Anything that can prove my love,
no matter how hopeless it may bo."
responded llunri.
"Will you will yon" the young
girl hesitated, then, mustering up cour
age, sho looked straight into his face
with hertear-bediinmed eyes,and asked:
"Will you come to my wedding t"
Tho young man started back, aud
stood as ono petrified. Tho two stood
looking fixedly at eaoh other for some
moments, but neither ventured to
speak. Then with the air of one en
dowed with courage born of sheer
hopelessness, Henri reached forth his
hand, nnd gently taking the limp hand
cf Julie in his own, tenderly kissed it
and answered:
"I will attend your wedding "
Tho two lovers now turned their
steps toward Julie's home, as mass was
over, and Madam Vaupil would oxpect
her daughter home.
Tho maid was cautioned not to men
tion tho scene of which she had been
a witness, although what it was ,all
about she had uot the slightest com
proheusiou. When they had noared Ihe Plaoe des
Vosgcs they separated, Julio to bear the
news to her sick mother that she would'
wed M. Boutegat, and Henri to hasten
to his niodeU npartmeutto ponder over
and try to realize the horrible ovents of
the chance meeting.
The day of tho wedding had been
fixed, M. Bautegat having formally
iiroposed for the hand of Mademoiselle
Tube and hud been aooopted.
Tho dowry had been arranged, and
all things augured a brilliant ilfair.
As the time set fnr tho nuptials drew
near Madam Vaupil's health improved,
and, indeed, sho seemed to find ample
strength to direct tho preparations for
tho great evunl. '
In tho mcantimo Julio had met Henri
clandestinely, and, as Madam Vaupil
grow hotter, sho had sought tho family
physician as to the result of breaking
off tho marrlago with M. Boutegat.
To hor dismay sho was told that such
a step would throw madam into a ro
lapse, and certain death would ensue.
Nothing was left to tho uuforluuate

Three days beforo the day that was
to mako Mademoiselle Julio and M.
Boutegat ono, sho met Henri cro sho
should bo irrotriovably lost to him.
Tho parting had sorely tried tho
courago of both. Although Henri
sought to break from his promlso to
attend the nuptials, Julie firmly held
him to his word.
Thoro was nothing left for Henri but
to yield.
The preparations wore all oompletod
and the final ceremony was all that re
mained to bo performed.
On the afternoon proceeding the
notablo day, Henri addressed a noto to
M. Boutegat, requesting him lo call on
tho former at his apartments in tbo
Ituo du Fouarro.
From subsequent developments, it
transpired that M. Boutegat had called
as requested.
Tho morning of tho wedding day
dawned and all was in readiness. Too
guests had assembled, and all tho indi
cations pointed to complete success of
of the nuptial ceremonies.
The priest arrived, and M. Boutegat
and Madam Vaupil seemed anxious to
havo tho performance of tho oero
monies begun at once. Mademoiselle
Julio alone appeared nervous at tho
awaited arrival of Henri.
At this point the lower door bell
rang, and, on its being opened, a com
missionaire presented himself, stating
that ho had a chest to deliver. With
tho assistance of the footman tho box
was placed in the dining room. Tho
commissionaire, receiving his pay, re
tired. In her anxiety, Mademoiselle Julio
had beard tbo ringing of the bell and
had asked what or who it was. She
was informed of the arrival of the
chest.
She insisted upon its being opened
at once. Madcm Vaupil objected,
stating that it was some wedding
present and that it would bo opened in
due time.
Tho mother was anxious that nothing
Bhould delay or mar the festivities.
Mademoiselle, however, insisted, and
as the guests gathered about, the foot
man wns instructed to opou tho box.
As the servant advanced bo noticed
that a spring lock kept the lid down,
and was about to state that it could
not be opened, when his eye fell upon
tho key banging at the side of the
chest. Placing the key in the lock he
opened it. The servant started back
shrieking as though a bomb had fallen
in their midst.
As tho lid was raised the dead re
mains of a young man were disolosed
arrayed in full evening costume.
Making her way toward, the ohest,
Julie cast a quick glanoe at the contents
and exclaimed in a heartrending shriek
"Henri I" Tho misery of a blasted
life was convoyed in that ono word.
They carried her limp form away and
the physician who hastened to her bed
sido administered to her relief and stat
ed that should she reoover tho shook
might dethrone her reason.
Tho marriage, being at least for a
timo postponed, it in the meantime
came out that M. Boutegat was a
bankrupt and bad counted upon Julie's
dowry to savo him from ruin.
Henri had sent to M. Boutegit that
ho might request that'gentleman to
treat Julie with kindness and consider
ation, explaining that they had been
ohildren together, nnd with that claim
he spoke.
Henri had kept his promise to bo
present at the wedding, but not having
the courage to attond alive, had in
structed on tho night preceding the
commissionario to call for a chest which
he described and deliver it.to tho Vaupil
mansion.
Julie recovered and taking the veil
spent her remaining days in the calm
seclusion of a convent.
Budding and Grafting.
Next to planting young trees in the
spring, preparation ought to be made
for grafting the natural apple trees and
other bearers of worthless fruit to bo
found on almost every farm. Tho fol
lowing schedule of tbo modes of propa
gation adapted to different trees and
Irult bearing shrubs will do found of
value to novices;
Apple aud pear, budding and graft
ing. Cherry mostly by budding, but euo-
coeds well by grafting, if done very
early.
Peach and nectarine, by budding
only, at tho north ; often succeeds by
grauing in tne soutn.
Plum, by grafting and also by bud
ding, if the stocks nro thrifty.
Apricot, mostly by budding s some
times by grafting.
Almond, by budding, and sometimes
by grafting.
Chestnut by early grafting
Walnut, by early grafting aud by
annual budding.
Quince, by cutting and grafting.
Filbert, by suekurs and Tavers. The
fiuor sorts may bo grafted on tho more
oommon, which reduces the size of tho
bush and makes them more prolific
Grape, by layers and outtings : and,
in rare instances, grafting is advan

Boris, on old or wild stock, prodnoing

Itaspberry and blackberry, by suck
ers, cutting of roots and layers.
Gooseberry and currant, bv outting
aud sometimes by layers.
To insure good work ono must have
sharp tools and good wax. Ben. Per
ley Poore, in The American Cultiva
tor, who approves of tho above sohod
ule, says to make tho grafting wax by
heating and mixing equal parts of resin
tallow and yellow beeswax. A coat of
this wax, about one-twentieth of nn
inch thicli, spread over muslin, oalioo
or flexiblo paper, makes an exoellent
covering for outdoor grafting, or,
spread half as thick, Is well adapted to
root graung.

SEA ITS WONDERFUL TAHEttNACLE
H10M DESERT to GARDEN.
Utah takes its namo from an Indian
tribe, and moans "thoso who dwell on
tho mountains." Salt Lako City, the
capital of the Territory, is situated on
ono of the finest natural sites in the
West in a beautiful depression, 4,200
feet abovo sea level, and Inclosed in a
frame of ragged mountain ranges
8.000 to 10,000 feet high. Twin
Peaks, which are southeast of tho city,
are 11,060 feet io height Tho Was
atch rango, near Salt Lake City, aver
ago a littlo over 0,000 feet, and tho
Oquinh range, which terminates in an
abrupt crest, twenty miles west of the
city, form tho background for a strange
and picturesque community.
Utah is in the parallel of tho Medi
terranean, but tho elevation gives it a
more equable climate. The winters
nro quite mild and delightful. Ten
years ago, It was seldom that rain fell
between May and October, but now
we may expect rain' nearly every month
in the year. The Mormons credit it
to their prayers and the favor of God,
and tho Indian ocouso the white mau
of always bringing it with him, while
experience shows that it is due to oul
tivation and planting.
Tho mornings ana evenings are de
liriously oool, soft and pure. It is evi
dent that this climate of stimulating
rarity is wholly healthful, and espec
ially to thoso who seek relief from pul
monary diseases.
A mistaken idea prevails, quito gen
erally, that the Mormons are except
ionally industrious. With .all that
they had an undeveloped country be
foro them rich mineral deposits ; a
tare climate aud unlimited range for
their stock, the benefits of the "Z. C.
M. I." the Zion Co-operative Mercan
tile Institution, conducted by tho lead
ers of tho Mormon church for the pur
pose of controlling tho Mormon trade,
they have done less than their non
Mormon countrymen who havo been
here half the time, aud are far more
progressive and cultivated,
A Christian minister, who wwi
thoroughly acquainted with tho Mor
mons, onco said: "Nowhere in the
United States is there more squalid
poverty in proportion to the popula
tion, or greater lack of the comforts of
life among the lower classes, than in
Utah." Indeed, it may be said that
many of the men are shiftless, and .the
women are the workers, and do muoh
of the rough out-door work. As a rulo
they have very little to say to strang
ers, for they are forbidden nuch inter
course with Gentiles. I asked one,
who proved to be unusually talkative,
that was working in the field, why she
nid not leave such work to tho men.
Her reply was-: "Tho more wo do for
our husbands tho more glory here
after." "Do you mean the moro money you
savet"
"Yes, for in timo ho can support
another wife."
"Is it true that the last wife always
courts tho next one 1"
"No, it ain't."
"Is it the law for the men to tako as
many wives as they are able to sup
port r
"The moro wives they can take, tho
higher their place in Heaven."
"Do yon think for your husband lo
tako another wife is a blessing from
Heaven 1"
She gavo mo a look as much as to
say: "You aro too inquisitive," nnd
closed her mouth liko a vise.
In a drive about the city, ono of the
first places of interest is the old taber
nacle, in Temple square, adjoining the
new granito temple that has been so
many years in building. It is in the
form of an oval, and with the all
around gallery, has a seating capacity
for ten thousand people. There aro
doors throughout the entire circumfer
ence, which open to make a continuous
lino of archways for entrance and out
let Its accoustio advantages aro un
equalled, on account of its form and
tho absence of toy thing to break the
sound waves, there being no pillar or
interior supports to the roof. A test
that is frequently made by the guide
to show the wonderful carriage of
sound, is to havo one of the party
stand with him by the great organ and
drop a pin in a Bilk hat; the faint sound
that follows is heard distinctly by tho
others at tho opposite end of the build
ing. The choir is largo and well-trained.
About the middle of tho service, the
twelve elders distributed bread and
water to tho assemblage Among
other "Songs of Ziou," the refrain of
one tuns:
"Then, oli, let us say
God uless, the wife that strives,
And aids her husband all sne can
To obtain a dozen wives."
This Tabernacle is used principally
in summer.
Brigbam Young's residence was

In the Lion Houso lived nineteen of
his wives, but the Beo Hivo was his

tho Whito House, a plain houso with

How Olay Beds May Beoomo Mines of
Wealth.
It is among tho possibilities, pcthaps
among tho probabilities, that in tho
near futuro mines may be opened in
tho clayey strata of northern Florida.
We havo scon deposits of clay in Flor
ida which must be extremely rich in
aluminum, that wonderful metal which
scientists havo lony been striving to
wrest from the nation. Should these
deposits over bo utilized in this manner
it will be duo in a measure to the
labors of ono of Florida's citizens, Prof.
Win., It. Gunning, of Altamonte,
Orange county, who is now engaged
in tho experiments referred to hi the
following ar.Iclo from tho Toledo
blado:
Several months ago tho Blado con
tained tho announcement that a met
allurgist of this vicinity had, after years
of study nnd experiment, sucoecded in
inventing a process for obtaining alum
inum tho metal whioh Is tho baso of
all clays In metallic form, and prob
ably ho cheaply that it could nt onoo
compete with iron and stcol for all
uses. Tho arltsio created intense inter
est in scienllfio and metallurgicals cir
cles. It wns widely copied iu periodic
als devoted to the many industries
which would bo revolutionized by suoh
a discovery, and numbers of letters
of inquiry wero received from gentle
men nnd firms nuxious to know moro
of this wonderful discovery.
Ihe Ulado is now able to dcclaro tho
entire success of the experiments, whioh
havo been made on an actual com
mercial scale, and to make the astound
ing announcement to tbo world that
the entire range ot metal industries
will bo entirely revolutionized. Tho
days of iron aud steel are numbered,
and aluminum will be tho king of
metals in tho future. This statement
appears incredible ; but it is neverthe
less strictly and entirely true. Tho
facts in tho case aro herewith given :
Tho invention is that of a metallur
gist named Soymour, now at Findlay,
Uhio, where tho experimental works aro
located. It will bo called tho "Seymour
process ot obtaining the puro metal
in a furnace but at a much lower heat
than that needed for iron. Mr. Sey
mour is an American ; so tha honor of
the greatest discovery of modern times
is reserved to our own country. He
is a thorough metallurgist, who hag
spent his lifo in rccearcb.es which have
led up to this invention as the result of
twenty-five years of study.
Aluminum is now sold at S10 per
pound, and this is the lowest prico it
ever has reached. The process used
required six days. Tho Seymour pro
cess will turn out puro aluminum from
tho crude clay in six h jurs, at tho cost
of less than a dollar a pound. Moro this ;
Alloys can bo made from clay and tho
ores of other metals in the samo timo :
for instance, in six hours from crude
clay and copper ore, aluminum bronze,
which contains Irom. hvo to ten per
cent, of aluminum, and is tho best
material in the world for cannon.
journal bearings, and a variety of
other important uses can be obtained
direct.
It may bo of interest to recapitulate
the properties and uses of aluminum.
It is tho most abundant constituent of
tho earth's crust. Every bed of clay,
every ledge of slate, is a veritable ore
bed of aluminum ; for the basis of all
clay is alumina, which is an oxide of
the metal. Aluminum is a wbito metal,
next in luster to silver. It Is only one
third the weight of iron, being liehtor
than glass ; in fact, it is about as heavy,
duik ior mine, as ctiaiic or pine wood.
Ilcnco a pound of aluminum is much
larger in bulk than a pound of iron.
It is as malleable as gold, moro tenac
ious than iron, and harder than steel,
boing noxt to tho diamond in hardness
It melts at 1,300 degrees, at least 600
degrees below tho melting point of iron.
It does not rust in the open air, nor
tarnish by contact with gases, as does
silver. Tho enumeration of its prop
erties sounds like a fairy tale.
w hen one is aeked to enumerate tho
uses to which it can bo put tho mind is
bewildered at tbo vast possibilities. It
is the ideal metal for railway use. An
aluminum steamship will weigh only
one-third as much as an iron ono of
tho same size j hence sho will havo only
ono third tho draft, and can carry at
least double the weight of cargo of
iron vessel. Tho steamers, built of this
metal, can increase their speed on ac
count of their lightness. They will bo
made ot thinner and lighter plates of
metal j havo stronger but much lighter
engines ; a larger and stronger propell
er, in tact, with aluminum vessels
and engines of the same material, travel
by water will rival tho speed attained
on land. The ocean, will bo the high
way of nations, indeed. It can Lo cast
or worked under tbo hammer, rolled
into sheets, drawn into reeds or wires
or deposited by galvanism.
There can never be any monopoly of
tho crude ore, for all clays and shales
have from 20 to 50 per cent, of alumi
num. TIio only tak now beforo tho
world is to utilizo this vaster possibili
ties than iron, and will supplant it in
all tho arts of lifo. The age of iron
will bo as completely superseded as
has been tha stone age of primval of
tho immediato future
The clay so lar usod is an ordinary
quality of knolin, or while clay, such
as is usod for common tible ware. It
contains fifty-four per cent, of alumi
num, nino per cent of silica (sand),
traces of iron, nnd tho remainder of in
ert earth". It can bo made of ordinary
brick clay, but it is choaper to obtain
kaolin, for tho metal is muoh easier
reduced, and it contains a groator per
cent, of aluminum. Kaolin is very
abun lant, and Ohio contains a sufficient
quantity to supply tho world.
Tho "Soymour process" has been
patented in all civilized countries. An
experimental plant was built at Find
lay, using natural gas for fuel, and has
proven tho process a complete sucoess
both in a scientific and commercial
