ALL'S WELL THAT END3 WELL,
Mr. Porry 'wns an old bachelor and
Miss Briggs was an 'old maid. Ho lived
In tho brick lionse on tho hill, and sho
in tho cottago opposite, and they wore
mortal enemies. Ho despised her bo
caiiBo ilio kept two cats and a canary,
and sho loathed him lor his affection
for a huge mastiff and an old knooked
knecd horeo.
"Why on earth thb inan don't try to
Rett a decent horeo is mora than I can
im igihe 1" sho would say, as sho pldd.
ded up to tho door. "I beliovo that1
he is too mean and mlaorly to buy
ono.'
Miss Briggs would have hardly felt
pleased1 had sho knowTTthat Mr. Perry
rodo back and forward'os' this worn
out piooe oi uorscflesh for the purposo
pi annoying h'er.
xiioy nevenspoKO, dui yev inoy man-'
aged'to keep; tip a perfect warfare, by
'disagrecablo manners "and 'Wrathful
glances. i
Slttj sat hoJJ' after hour beneath tho
canary bird tn tho window, with hqc
oat perched upon the sill and, her knit
ting in ber band, throwing glances of
8cotii'to tho opposite 'sido' where ho
with cigar anil newspaper rccoived and
paid thein wiih interest.
His detestable dog 'camo over and
ran, tlirouph her garden.. destroying-all
her .beautiful tulips and'hyaeintha and
sho gave him a hot Uath which scut
him' hbwling to his master, and when
said master .remonstrated, sont word
that slid would treat him worso noxt
lime.
Her littlo re'd cow broke through his
enclosure and devoured his turnips and
cabbages, and ho led her homo and in
formed Miss Briggs that a 'second of
fence, would give her a oomforlablo
pasture' in tho pound.
or two years tnov oau uvea ana
fouoht, and no one could bring about1
peaoo.betweeiiithem. It was a pity,
the neighbors alt said, for Ml Briggs
was a dear little soul and there was not
a finer man in the country than Mr,
Perrv.
"Julia, my lovo,'1 said Mm. Perkins
ono nfternoon,tas sho entered tho cozy
narlor. "I am coinc to have a party,
and ,1 want you to como down in tho
afternoon to tea aud remain during tbo
ovening.-
"WiU that Old bach ovor tho way bo
there 1"
"Mr. Perry ,f Ob, yes 1 'Wo could
not get along without him."
"itien ttiHt settles tne matter, i
sha'h't go."
"Wow, Julia, uont oo bo toousni
If you 'remain at home he will think
that' you aro afraid of him;"
Miss unci's tliougiit tne matter over.
Well, It would look a littlo, liko that,
and she would not have him think so
for he world-r-the conceited 1
Mrs. 1'crkins went, borne, aud it was
arranged that Miss Briccs was to
spend the afternoon and remain for the
party.
Sno was a pretty littlo woman, and
it' was alwajs a puzzlo to every ono
why. sho never married. Sho bad a
round rosv iaee. clear brown eves, and
beautiful hair, and if sho was 00 there
was', not a smarter woman in town
She stood before the looking-glass in
tho phsmber, and fastened her lace col
lar over the neck of ber dress with a
plain "gold brooch, and began .to think
that' sho looked very well. There was
a bright healthy flush upon her cheek,
aud her eves were full of light and
beauty.
Sho walked into Mrs. PerkinsVittirig
room, and found her awaiting ber with
a smiling face. Shu thought that she
must bo in a very good humor, but
Baid nothing, allowing the good lady
to smile as long and pleasantly as sho
wished.
Siio understood it all when supper
timo came and JSlr. 1'erkins entered
followed by Mr. Perry. This was
well' laid plan to mako tho two become
friends.
MiesHriggslbit her lips and inward
Iy vowed that nothing should tempt
her to give "that man" 'her hand in
friendship. Sho hated him and always
would. , . j .
Ho was placed directly opposito at
tho table, and many times forced to
pass tho biscuits or preserves, and Miss'
Briggs accepted them, although she de
clared to Mrs. Perkins after supper
thatithey nearly ih.ked her.
Uelore evening they were uotn per-
siiaded io overlook the horse and cow
difficulty and bo civil, nnd Miss Briggs
was frightened when sho lound Her
self talking , to him with easy anu
pleasant familiarity.
Tho party was a buccpss, and al
though the ejiorts were generally mon
opolized by the jounger portion, tlicy
found room for the old maid and her
enemy, and Bovcfal times theyt found
themselves doing luosii ridiculous
things in tho way ot paying. forfeits.
At the odd of tho evening Mss
Briggs "Was at) tho door ready to depart,
when ho called :
"Mies Briggs, I am going right up
your .way. Ayill you ridd t"
Would sho rido belund that old
horse, and besidolhat detestable roan T
She i was wondering whether bIio would
or not, when Mrs. Perkins came aud
triumphantly led her out nnd packed
her into tho carriage.
It was as dark as pitch, and they
had to let tho horso go his own way
and find it best he could.1- 'He did so
voiy well until they reached tho cot
tago, and then' ho was bowildered.
Mr. Perry spoko, jerked the roins,
but to no purpose. He then took out
ho whip. Whether his natural disliko
to that 'articles or tho memories of the
indiguities ho had suffered from tho
hands df tho owner of tho cottsgo
overcame him, it is hard to decide, but
at all-oventd;io- kickod up his heels,
ran a few yards and fell, overturning
the buggy and lts'prcclous contents.
Miss-Briggs was. up in a moment, un
harmed, but Mr. Perry was silent as
tho graye. Sho ran 'snouting through
tho darkness until Mr. Perry's "help"
camo with a lantern, to her assistance,
They fofldd'tlid poor man half dead
beneath tho carriage, and whilo Dan
was at work, Miss Briggs ran homo for
her own servant. 'After much hard
labor they succeeded in extricating
him from to wreck i but ho was sense
less, and thoy bore him homo aud sent
for tho doctor. Upon examination
they found his log to bo broken, and
thus Miss Briggs' enemy was at her
mercy.
Tho days and wools that followed
wcro dreadful ones to the sufferer, but
Miss Briggs never left him. Day arid
night sho ' stood besidb him, nnd hor
plump hands administered to every
want.
Ho forgot tho cow and turnips. He
forgot tho cat nnd tho canary, Ho
only saw a littlo patient woman, with
a pretty face, trim hguro and tender
hands, and would you beliovo it t
ho fell in lovo with her.
How could ho help it t Sho had sat
by him tlirqugh the dreary days of
pain, sho had brought him ber preserves
and nice invigorating cordials.
Slio had, in all probability, saved his
life.
What could ho do t Nothing but
fall in love.
"Miss Briggs 1'' ho said, ono day
when ho "was able to sit up.
"Won, Mr. I'crry y
'l'ou havo been verv cood to mo.
and I feel as though towo you a great
deal."
"Therol now Btop.iust woro you arc.
You owo mo nothing."
"JJut would you mind if 1 trespassed
a littlo further on your good nature ?''
"Hot at all."
"Well, Miss Briggs will you take mo
in charge for tho rest of ray" life 1"
"WhatT"
"Will you marry mo Thoro 1"
Miss. Briggs blushed, and hor answer
came thus :
!'I will marry yom"
There .was a wedding in tho church
a ,few weeks Inter, and Mrs. Perkins
prepared tho wedding Bupper.

WMerits of 'the Vestibule Oar.
From tho New.York Times, May 23d, 1SS3.
Speaking of tho injunction in favor
of tho Pullman Company, restraining
tho Wagner people from the uso of tho
vestibulo attachment, a prominent rail
road man said the other day : "The
vestibulo attachment is ono of the, most
important improvements of tho ago to
ward tiiO'ticrlectiou ot absolute com
fort in passenger car construction. Sev
era! years ago, when t)io ,dining car
was introduced and the praotice of pre
paring and serving meals on railway
. . jt i it...
iruiua luauuurutcu, il wiu) iuuuu luul
timid people, especially ladies and in
valids, experienced great difficulty iu
passing frora'their seats in tho sleepor
to tbo dining car when tho train was
running at a high rata of speed. -Tho
open platforms between tho cars form
cd a golf over which they feared to at
tempt passage in fine weather and
which in wind or storm, or both, was
impassable to pcoplo with delicate con
stitutions., If tho dining car system
was'to bo a success, this objection must
bo overcome, and tho Pullman peoplo
set themselves tho task of bridging tho
chasm, in order to accomplish this
end they evolved and doveloped tho
idoa of tho vestibule, and in bringing
it into successful usago tho railway
companies, as woll as. their patrons,
find that the original difficulty has not
only been completely overcome, but
that a great many othor 'marked ad;
vantages havo been secured irr tho in-
(roduction 'of tho vestibule. One strik
ing feature is tho additional strength
created anq distributed ovor tho entire
train by tho cIobo fitting of'the coaches
to ono another and tho consequentr
increased power to withstand the shuci
of a collision. Telescoping is hardly
possible). in a well-equipped vestibule
train, from tho simple fact that tho
steel frames arrest the forco which
would drive ono c.u into another. Tbo
steadier motion with which tbo closely'
united factors of the train nro endowed
will loo readily reoognized as a most
beneficial result. This steadiness is
noticeablo at once, but particularly per
ceptible to tho occupants of upper
ueniis or moso wno, naviug trieu to
read or write m tho ordinary car, uc
dertakc to do so in a vestibule train
The vestibules, beside protecting tho
passengers in passing from ond to end
of the traiu, serve the purpoao of storm
doors to a residence, and prevent tho
sudden drafts which tho opening of an
ordinary, car door always creates. An
other feature, which is prominent from
a social standpoint, is tho deadening
ot tho noise mado by tho rapid rpvo
lution of tho wheels over tho rails, so
that conversation may bo carriod on
without in any way straining tho voice.
"Tho constructors of theso ci
'builded wiser than they know,' and
succeeded in abolishing many of the
petty annoyances that beset tho rail
way traveler, oven on the best equip
ped roads.
"lheso cars,' ho continued, "aro as
far. superior to tho ordinary coach as
tho Pullman is to tho old-fashioned
passenger car, Thoy enhanco in
great degreo tho pleasure and comfort
of travel, and, as tho loarncd judge re
marked in 1119 deoision nuovo referred
to, thoy must havo proved a startling
and successful innovation or a compe
ting company would not havo been bo
prompt' in imitating them. The Penn
sylvania's Now York and Cjiicago
Limited Express was tho pioneer ves
tibule train, and tho enormous popular
ity it has won is tho best evidence of
public appreciation of its merits.''

Essential to Health.
Tho valuo of tho phosphato of lime
to tho human system is every where ao
knowledgcd by tho highest scientific
authorities. This substance, is found
in wheat and other cereals, and const:
tutos tho vital or nutritive element
therein. Indeed, it may bo truly said
to bo tho essential and vitalizing con
stituent of all grains. If grams aro
dopnyed of their phosphate, thoir lifo
sustaining properties aro withdrawn
ill tho samo proportion. It is a well-
known fact that fmo white flour is do
prived of a large portion of the phos
phates in tho prooess ot bolting, antl
that such (lower alono will not sustain
lifo. It was a happy idoa of Prof,
Ilorsford to restore life-sustaining sub
stances through tho medium of baking
powder, and his famous preparation
has proved ono of the most useful gifts
which scionco has made to mankind.
It contains tho nutritious and strength
giving phosphates, nnd its uso is post
lively bsuotioial to hialth. It makes
biscuit, bread, goms, rolls and other
articles that aro far moro light, white
and wholesomo than it Is possible to
produco by any othor process, The
virtues possessed by this preparation
should commend It to all careful and
economical housekeepers. In a report
on tuo relative vaiuo 01 tuu various
baking powders, Prof. Chas. A. Doro
miH, of the Bellovuo Hospital Medical
College, says: "Unless a phosphato

For tho first timo within tho politi

Laggard as' they might havo been in
tho past, henceforth tho democraoy of
Pennsylvania will be to the front,
with' banners' high-advanced in the de
man 1 for revenue reform by a thorough
revision of tho tariff. Applallse.
Upon tho basis' of such measures as
tho concurrent will and wisdom of the
executive and legislative representa

will fearlessly preach this faith in tho
sheep pastures of Pennsylvania and on
tho threshing floors, 6n tha cinder

With a clear, distinct and unequivo

thrall of tho monopolist, tho democracy
of Pennsylvania keeping Btep with the

fortunes and to recruit its ranks.
Even if it emerge from the conflict
at first without victory it will survivo
without dishonorable concession or
disgraceful compromise. Applause.
In tho sobor second thought of the
American people thero can be no doubt;
sooner or later must como conversion
to a well proved system of , economy
nnder which the alert mechanical gen
ius of our country shall sell the pro
ducts of its handicraft in the open
marts of all the earth; then tho manu
factures shall bo relieved from the vic
issitudes of fitful stimulation and de

will lift her drooping head and the
spirit of restored American commerce
will raise aioit iw nag in evury arupun,
and spread its sails to every breezo

LAppiause.j
Well may we, assembled ns tho rep
resentatives of tho party in tho com
monwealth, turn with profitable con
trast to tho aspect of political conduct
prosonled here. Tho peoplo of Penn
sylvania in tho broken pledges of a
faithless administration havo learned
that tho promiso to en forco tho fundi
raontal law of tho Btato was to bo kept
to tho car and broken to tho hopo.
Tho wiso rovision of inadequato blun
ders if not moro serious crimes. Uor
porato cncioashmcnt has been un
checked. Flagrant violations of law
aro unpunished nnd tho state treasury
is roenauced with grievous deplolion
in tho relief of combined capital from
its justsharo of taxation.
In boldly formulating theso issues of
federal and state concorn in tho solco
tion of puro and capablo candidates;
in delegating tbo uutliorlty of this con
vention to fit'an intelligent represen
tativd to tho higher council of tho
party, in the participation lioro of la

Bie .Treasure Vault.
THE LAItOEST'CONSTRUCTION OF THE KIND
IN THE WORLD.
The one-hundred-million vault is tho
Jargcst construction of tho kind in tho
world, writes tho Washington ' corres
pondent of tho Pliiladclplija 2'imcs.
As it 'now appears it looks liko a mod
ern improvement on tho dungeons of
tho old inquisition in Spain, Italy and
Austria. Descending into depths of
tho massive foundations of tha Treas
ury, about thirty' feet below thoeurfaco
of tho publio throughfares outsido and
orossing a dingy, dimly-lighted baro
apartment, n great Bquaro of steel,
standing partly open 111 a steel case
ment, suggests tho entranoo to the new
vault. Tho door, about eight feet high
and six feel wide, is six inohes thick
and weighs fiva thousand pounds, or
two and one-half nettons. To movo it
on its tracks into itsstoelcasingreqnires
tho desperate exertions of fiyo men. A
mechanical device is now being con
structed to lessen tho demand for this
amount of muscle in haudling thepon-
derous portal. A lock ono foot in dia
meter, resembling tho highly polished
bottbm of a dish-nan and operated
through1 a combination of tho most do
lioate and intricate mechanical appli
ances by means, of a key, throws tho
powerful bolts into tho slots in the
frame, and a time-lock holds them
thero against any thing Bhort of blow
ing up tho building by tho roots until
tho hour fixed for the morning rounds
of the official custodian of tho vaults.
Passing through tHo jaws of this
monster of human contrivance ngamit
burglarious attempts, the chill, damp
air and inky darkness Buggcst the
strength and insolation of this vast
treasure-box. It is 85 fret long, .'i0
feet wido, and 12 feet high, surround
ed by missive walls of masonry and
brick fivo "feet thick. In tho dim
light of a candle tho weird lattico work
of interlacing bars of steel which form
tho sixteen cells, each ten by twenty
feet, may bo vaguely seen. Around
the inner cago leads a narrow corridor,
where tho custodian of tho vault may
make his rounds of inspection. Upon
a traverso central corridor tbo cells
open. h,noh door is htted with an in
genious devico tor fastening, which
will not catch until tho door is cntiroly
shut and tho' key removed.
h.nch ot theso colls will hold six and
a half million dollars, or two hundred
tons of silver dollars, or a grand total
of 3,000 not tons, equal to 100,000,000
silver dollars. If tho corridors wero
used for storago this aggregate could
be increased to $128,000. Somopracti
cal idea of tho extent of this trensuro
miy be' formed when it is realized that
to transport it would rcquiro at least
l.BUO wagonB, which would extend in
a continous lino from tho now city hall
of Philadelphia to Norristown, or a
train of cars which would extend from
tho Broad-street station to Fifty sccoird
street.
Crop Prospect.
Tho following summary of tho crop
prospects in this state for tho present
year has been prepared by Secretary
Thomas J; Edge, of tha stato board of
agriculture
Wheat Tho averago of wheat this
year has been somewhat increased and
the condition of tho crop is far nbovo
that of tho same timo latt year. A fa'r
average crop may bo expected. As
rule tho percentage of loss by f roe zing
is low. In eastern Pennsylvania thn
err p will bo abovo tho 11 v or ago of the
past ten years.
Corn Tho average of corn has been
slightly increased, probably 5 per cent.
Tho, season has not been favorable to
the crop. Owing to cold weather
much has failed to sprout, thus compel
ling replanting. Less than usual loss
from bad seed has been repotted.
Oats There has boon but littlo
change in tho area sown with oats, but
Indications favor h fair crop.
Potatoes Thero will ba a slight In
crease in tho average of the potato
crop, although lat.t year's low prices
discouraged many.
Fruit Tho indications previous to
last week's frost pointed to a largo
crop, but it is now impossible to indi
cate what the outcome will ho until
the result of tho cold snap shall havo
boon heard from. Considerable da
mago has been done
