THE 1.ITTIJE QUAKER LACOH.
Th'!.8ta ma,d,n n our village,
v ith hair of sunny hue.
And eyes of woodland loveliness,
Like violets and dew.
Iler face is sweet with roses
That r.lush against the gray
Of hor little Quaker bonnet.
Suggesting ilarch and May.
She talks with quaint doellon.
V hlch is music, I'll allow,
w hen she greets rue, as she meets me,
n.h an earnest, "llow art thou?"
Though in manner she is charming,
1 hero is nothing that is half
ho perplexing and bew itching
As her pretty Quaker laugh.
Defying rules of discipline,
Its mirth is full and free
whene'er I greet her In return,
" Friend, is it well with theo?"
She knows I am not of the fold.
Mayhap, ?die likes to chaff.
But it is certain that I love her
For her little Quaker lavish.

"WHITE HOUSE EXrEKSES.
Wbat It Costs To Care For and Maintain
the President's Home.
Nearly every good housewife cleans
houe"once or twice a year, and the
mansion of the nation's Oiiof-Executive
does not escape the annual reiuvemition
which is characteristic of American home
life.
t'nlike most private houses, howe ver
the -Write Hi use undergoes its over
hauling in the summer t'mo while its
occupa' Is nre oft on their annual outing.
Tip- work furnishes emr loynu-nt for a
fmall army of pervant-i for a score of
days or nu.re.
Ni t.viUistiuidin the factfhat the man
sion is ke;.t in good order at all times,
tne annua! housecloaning never fails to
dis.'loe plenty of work to bo done, and
sweeper, scrubbers and du-:ers hold
hitrh carnival during the continuance of
their r i-n.
The upper as well as the lower iloor
nndergoos tho process of rejuvenation.
The musty old books in the library,
many of them dating back to the days of
L'oily Madison and Susan Monroe, ar-1
all taken out and dusted. The two
pianos in the house are tuned up, and
when tt e doors are finally opened to the
public tl.o house is in the most esipiisite
order an I ready for am thcr year's siego
of dinners and receptions.
As may be well imagined, it costs a
vry pretty poinv to keep the establish
ment In order. Tbe SIi'i.i'imi fr keeping
the house in order for the next year,
which L came available on July lit, is
not by any means all that has been sp. nt
upon the mansion since President Cleve
land took pos-ession
Mr. Arthur left a large cash balance
unexpended of the last appropriation
during l.is term, according to a time
honored custom that tho outgoing Pres-
I ient f-hal! leave a lump sum for the in
coming President to make any changes
he may desire.
Nothing new has been bought in the
house since Mr. Arthur left it in such
complete and boautiful order. It un
doubtedly, though, requires a large sum
to keep it in conditio-'.
The cleaning of the huge crystal chan
floiiers sa coni. iera I..- item f expense.
The wh. lie lower Iloor is lighted by tin s -enormous
crystals, each one with thou
sands of pend.in's. 1 hero an no It s
than three doz-;n of these chandeliers in

has to I e taken to ioces and every part
car of. lly cb aned and put back in its
placo.
The care of the carpets and cur' a bis
also re.piir-s the spending of money.
The handsome laep draperies are torn at
Tiearl- every reception, ar.d these have
to be carefully repaired, to say nothing
of the t iking down two or three times a
year to be washed a', darned.

COUNTERFEIT C01JJ.
Jtow Spnrions Money Is Made in X. Y. City. I
Countoifoiting United S ates coins and
bills i s iid t be carr 1 on now as much
as formerly, says the New York Commer
cial Adveitisei, but there have been
many change s in its methods and the
manner of getting rid of the "queer"
when. made.
The days of the hidden nook In the
mountain, where. In a hut the exp rt
maker of base coins carried on hi-, ne
farious trade w th door carefully barri
caded aid rifles and revolvers lyi..g
about within easy reach, are ver. Now
the coin is made in stly in c.ti- s, and
that too in crow, ie I neighborhoods.
In the making of bad coins in this city
the Italians have a monopoly, and ie is
atrainst t he Italian workmen that Chief i
L uni'oond, of t ho S- cret Service Euro .u ,
in this city, is kept busy, proeurii g vi
deuce and hrinclng them to court. Al- '
nio-t without fxeeption, every Italian
counterfeiter arrested in this city during
the last th.ee y. ars and tin re ha.e
been mny of the:n captured has paid
that he came from Siejly.
They are, as a rule, dull-looking, ig
norant fellows, notwithstanding thoir
skill in furni h ng and manufacturing
the coins. Most tre-piently they have a
little knowledgo of the jewelry trade, and
apparently they take as iiatii ally to
ci.unterf. iting as fish to water. A num
ber of 1 1 alia : s iii tnis city w ho are nor
makers of bad c- ins are always ready to
pass those made by others, and the
6kiiiel devi or of illegitimate money is
to them a hero.
now the rorsrs Alt E made.
The workman hires a fiat in a tene
ment, into w hich he moves his family,
' reperving one room as a workshop
H-- lay- In a stock of airimot.v. plaster
of p ins, moulds, a lathe
pliaiiees, and is readv
and other ap
fcr business.
Parelv do his neighbors su-p-ct that
anything is wrong. lb- take- a good
co n for a at--rn, and soon h i- the room
filled with the coins in various stages of
cons' ruction.
Never does the maker attempt to pass
the n-oie-y hinifel:'. lie either soils it to
the passer, or. n.p.e fre-pueiulv, to a
middle man. For this reason il is diffi
cult to pet at the makers, and i he Set-rot
S- rvice det. ctives are always happy
wtieii ihi-y lind a workshop wi'h u kit of
tools and good supply of s'ock. The
mi --die men sell to the man who does the
pa. iag.
Had coin can bo bought at the rite of
SI for ten lad dollars, though higher
prices, are usually .barged at lirst.
When the passer ,.;s t; eco.n i c u.-ualiy
fre'p.n ns tii.-.-ide -licit-,, where In .-m .11

pusses off his sj prions .o;;ars. ce., in

ing' L'oml money in change.
i he law require liiai "intent to de
ceive" must be pr. ven against ti e of
fender, and for this reason the ounter
foit money passers go often in pars.
One man carries the coin. II-- deals it
out one coin at a time to his companion,

THEMES WHO PASS THE CorNTEIlFEITS.
The fruit stand Italians are usually
unscrupulous in working off b d n.ora-y,
tin i.gii th- y se.dom have a -tte'l. of any
thing of larger denomination t!nn dio.ej
and quart is. More than !;aif of the
-nisll coin that is bad works ps .ny i .to
ci i illation through t hose f.-i , . -. s.
You tell th- v.-nd-r tl. t tic ciin is
n.nl. and he wiil immo Lately cry out :
"Me no tell bada money; me ,ust
come frfun I ' a ly."
ComjiMrati vely few arrests are made
on complaint of the pol.- e. When bacl
money ;s r.-ceived : nwittii gly, few hesi
tate to pa.-s it on. There is a cheap res
taurant ke per O'l the old Chat ham t eet
who. ev. ry few weeks, brings ail liie bad
coins he has taken in down o the Secret
s.o! ice P.ireau in the Po-t Office build
ing. Very few take this trouble.
There is nn erroneous idea abroad that
the Government makes good the bad
money received. This is a mistake.
The Government con .seates all bad
coins, and the only relief of the person
imposed upon is a civil suit in one of the
I'ls'nct courts against the passer for the
val .e f the money lost.
The passer of counterfeit money, when
conieted, may receive as heavy a sen
tence as ten years In State prison and a
fine of $l,ooo.
Apparently there is an attractiveness
about making the coin, and when dis
charged from p ison the manufacturer
almost, inva: iably goes back to the old
business.
The lluriflitr.
One night a lady, on going to horl'od
room, long after the rest of the house
hold had retired for the night, saw to
Ui-r dismay a man's foot protruding
from the drapery of the toilet table.
"What was she to do ? Here was evi
dently a burglar, the honse was a larce,
rambling; old place, and her room, at
the very top, so far distant from those
of the rest of the household that should
she call for help no one could possibly
hear her.
Like lightning the thought flashed
through her brain. If she could only
pet nt the gong in the hall so as to alarm
the household. Pint then there was the
fear of his following Lor.
Walking quietly out cf the room, she;

The gentlemen af the party, thinking
it rather p. good joke, ascended to secure
the would-be burglar, and caught him
in the act of emerging from the lady's
room, he having succeeded in picking
the lock. After a short scufTle he was
secured ere he could reach the open
window on the ground floor, by which
Le had effected nn entrance.
A spice of humor is often exhibited in
the way some people rise to the occa

a silver spo-n and fork, he at once

ostentatiously into his button-hole.
On being asked lo explain his extra
ordinary conduct he answered naively :
"Ah, I saw that gentleman over there
pocket his spoon and fork, so I con
cluded wv were all to take ours home
with us too."
The pockets of the designated gentle

THIRTEEN HOURS IN A BALLOON.
Over Land and ea The Kxeltlna; Experi
ences of an AeronauU
" Tell me something about the most ;
perilous voyage you ever made!" was
demandel of Professor King, the
aeronaut.
"Well, let me see. The most perilous
voyage, I think, wa- over the Maine and ;
Canada wilderness from New Hampshire j
dowr. the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
" We ascende 1 from Plymouth and
rose into the clouds. A slight rain was
falling. Our course was northwest and
porn we found ourselves over one of the
White Mountains, and we had to throw ;
out ballast to keep from striking it.
"After passing over Mount Jefferson
and Mount Adams, of the White Moun
tains, we plunged into the wilderness,
or at least passed ovt r it. About night
fall, as we were crossing Lake Fmbngog,
we saw a light on one of the shores and :
ha'.toed. We seemed to attract attention,
but no response was made.
" A canoe was put down in the water,
and we could see it dodging around In
the water jus if they were looking foi
fometh ng. They t hought th - cry proly ;
ably came from somebody on the water '
We soon left the light" behind, and
noaring the m- untain s..or'!y afterward,
we dropped behind it m shelter and :
rested for about hub an hour.
" While we were discussing -by the by
I had Luther L. llolden. of the Boston .
Journal, w.th me, who had been on
6':i.e twenty tiv voyage !wf.ro) what
course it would b: best to purs ie, ln-ing
In the v.-'l e:-n---s and poorly provide.:
with provi-i ini, we finally decided to t
9 ar" the 1 ai'.ooli afl at and -eo if wo
could c -.- t wilderness to some in
hai'i'od region in Canada
-Our balloon was only f 2'H00 feet
capaei-.c, : nd not i-alciilate '. except
i.n'i.-i siich a stia-ss of ci. cumstanc s. to
remain alloat - o long as we would re
quire to cross, the wilderness. We had
fill however, a hag and a half of ballast
left, whicn we were ec.' ncrnically using.
' Just here there was a na'ural law to
be i.iseovered. whi"-h was of itself suffi
cient to carry us through without the
use of ballast. It appears that at night
when a balloon reaches the ordinary
cloud heiglits it becomes pi.ised, and
neither ri.-t.-s nor fails without any ex
penditure of s- nd or ballast, and so will
float for hours, provided the balloon is
free from leakage.
" Well, we floated on in th clouds,
which wer - occasionally .verour heads,
and once or twice during the night we
saw the moon through the rift.s. and
frequently th-y would break from be
neath us, so that we would look into au
inky abyss below. The only sounds
that came to our ears were theoccasioi.al
cries of a loon and tl.o sound of falling
waters. From our isolated position we
could constantly hear the latter.
' A hour after hour dragged tedious
ly away we sat in t e car. We could
see each other and kept up a conversa
tion, but we could not tell what time it
was except by passing our fingers over
the hands of our watches. You know
it would have been dangerous to 6trike
a match.
" Pretty soon a new feature among
the sounds of the waters struck our
ears. We wondered what caused the
peculiar noise, and finally concluded it
was the breakers. After passing over
them all sounds ceased, and wo then
knew we were on the briny deep. As It
did not eoem to be policy to pursue the
course we were in, we brought the
balloon down slightly and 6lowly some
twenty or thirty miles from where wo had
heard the surf, ; n l deposited our drag
roe upon the water. This rope is an
appendage to the balloon about 3..0 feet
Ions, and acts ns a ballast when it rests
upon the v. a tor.
We kept constant watch, and in the
course of an hour wo saw in f.ort of ns
a black line, which was apparently with
in a few feet of us, and we prepared to
grasp it, but it proved an illusion, and ns
we watched the object it gradually
widened, and soon after our drag-rope,
was caught among the tr--e tops. Wo
tiien found that we had run ashore over
a forest, presuming it at the time to le
an island, but as it turned out the
balloon had met with a c unter current
of air on the water, which carried it
back to the mainland. We again rested
behind a hill, where we lay till the
break of day, when we threw out the
balance of our ballast and rose again.
After a while we discerned a road, and
succeeded in landing within a mile and
a half of it. We made tor the nearest
place Sayetn-c, which Is al-out 250
miles tie ow Qu- b- c- and learn- d that
the water we had gone out on wa the
Gulf of St. Lawrence. If we had con
tinued across it we would have re -chod

on. As it was we travelled 5."o miles in
thirteen hours. Iliei mond Dispatch.

Another great mistake of parents Is
made a little further tin when the educa
tion the child is to receive and the work
he is to do in life begin to be considered
Most parents l ave preconceived id-as
of what their children shall do in the
world, and it is sointimes very hard to
modify or change them in accordance
with the child'- natural tastes. They
are like the parents i f a boy with wh. in
1 had acquaintance, w ho had determined.
I tldi k even 1-erort: the boy's birth, that
he must be n lawyer.
The boy proved to have no taste what
ever for th-law or for a student's life,
but seemed possessed of real mechanical
genius I r. ma child he could do any
thitigwith tools requuii g delicate manip
ulation, was always contriving and in
venting new machines to work with in
slurt, was a decided genius of the in
ventive order. Put he was laboriously
drilled in Latin, wept unavailing tears
over it, was sent to College at great sac
rince on the part of his friends, gradu
ated, was made to study law, did study
it, was admitted to practice, and tried
his best to do what he was unfitted for.
Having now come to roan's estate, he
took the matter into his own hands,
turned his law office into a machine
shop, and began successfully the work
he should have been encouraged to un
dertake in the first place.

AN IMPRESSIVE FAREWELL.
Henry Clav's Address to the Senate in
184 A Historic Scene.
Henry Clay rose in the Senate on the
31st of March, 1M2, to make his farewell
speech In a chamber which he had entered
t'orty-two years previously, although he
had not been in continuous service since
thn.
The Senate chamber presented a mag
nificent spectacle, perhaps, upon the
whole, a more brilliant one than had
ever before be.-n exhibited there. Every
seat was filled, and every avenue ap
proaching the chamber blocked up.
Two hours lefore Mr. Clay began to
speak, an exit or an entrance wore
equally impossible to those within or
without.
The gentlemen filled the straight gal
lery, which was better known as "the
Calcutta black hole." to its utmost ca
pacity. The railings of the seats, and
the seats themselves were all crowded,
and the people seemed to be literally
piled one upon another. The ladies' gal
lery was filled almost entirely with iadies.
and the circle there presented as much
of grace, elegance and dignity as ever
adorned any publie assembly. It was a
s- -one w-1 ieh ml-trt well have called
forth the admir tion of the sterner and
th -coarser sex below and around. The
chamber, lieforc Mr. Clay rose, was lit
erally wreathed tn Pir.iles and beauty,
and it was scene beautiful to look upon
unMl the event which had called so many
together took place, in the earnest,
swe-d-spoken final farewell, which came
from the lips of the orator and reached
every heart.
Along the central entrance to the
chani'er the crowd was equally dense
and upon either side h.-re. though far
out of sight, and out of hearing too,
la lies were seated, all anxious to catch a
tone of a voice which for so many years
had always told like the sweetest notes
of the laik in the cars of the whole fe
male sex. Senators of nil parties gave
the most respee ful attention, while the
representatives Hocked in from the House
and occupied the privileged seats lound
about the chamber.
Then came the addr ss for it was
more of an address than a speech the
published report of x'lrch is only the
Ixj.iy of a beautiful oration witro.it the
Soul. The spirit which kindled the fire
which burned are not there. Words are
as cold as marble without the divine af
flatus which could almost give life and
action to the dead.
The picture pr sen tot! In such a con
gregation of people was not nly fair
enough and perfect enough in all its pro
portions to c arm the e. o, but it was a
sceno which m ght have given, either in
the eympathy created or in the pride
excited, a fee.i' g but. little less than one
inspired. The ladies, who were all hope
and buoyancy a moment before, wore
now, " like Niobe. ail tears."
Mr. Clay, in speaking of h unsold 0f his
fronds, of the noble S ate oi Kentucky,
where he had been received as a son
for. y-tive years since, was himself quite
unmanned. Ot la rs w--re m uoh more af
f cte 1. and many of t eol-' st .----natois
were in tears m oiv time, while Mi. Clay
was speaking. Mr. Clay left the storm
and tui'm- i of pu.-lie life, as lie thought
forever, with nn cn iable reputation for
statesmanship, for put ; i .1 i-m a. d for
eloquence, and his l ist act was t i pre
sent the ere ion ials oi Mr ( l i' '. coder; as
his succ 'ss. r. aud to speak oi liiiu in th?
most ex el ent t r-:is.

When a member dies Lis pay ceases
on the day of his death. The salary of
the successor commences the day after
the decease of the former member,
though the election may not occur for
several mouths. The new member, in
other words, draws pay for the time ha
never served.
A member is allowed twenty cents
mileage each way, or forty cents a mile
1 one way, and he can check for the full
amount of both trips when he takes his
seat. He is allowed $125 a year for
' stationery. The most of this smn is
' pocketed.

different wavs. There are probably
twenty of the present House who let

with asndden start, bushed down through

the time of ihe atove lin-lde it, "Is a
matter to some extent at least of per
sonal taste, but In regard to certain
classes of elevators the rule has be-come
settled by general custom. Thus there
area certain class of private and seml
piivate elevators in entering which,
should a lady be present or enter,
a pentleman would a. wavs remove his
hat. Ti ese include, of course, the
private elevators in the large f'.ata, those
semi-private in hotels, and in dry pood9,
notion, or othcrstores where the patron
age almost exclusively consists of
ladies. In such cases no question
arises of the requirements of elevator
etiquette."
"A class of elevators In which general
eu-tom has csiabii bed that not to re
move the hat is ret a breach of pooxl
taste comprises elevators in the public
t u 1 lings, such as the Goven.inent,
county, and city bui 'dings, and the
large office buildings, in which there
are generally two to four ele.ators side
by side, and a constant stream of hu
manity entering nd leawiig the same on
matters or busine-s.
' It is a f ir e-t'mate that those
crowds that use elevators In the busi

who rile on street car over 4.000
persons, by actual count, riding on one
elevator in a notion stoic on State t treet

Five Senators can never become. FtwI
dents, as they are foreign-born. Beck
having been born In Scotland ; Jones, ol
Nevada, in England ; Fair. Sewell, and
Jones, of Florida, In Ire-land.
New York has given birth to more ot
the present Senators than ar.y otber
State, the numb r being eight ; Kentucky,
Ohio and Virginia can boast of six each.
Virginia and West Virginia being con
sidered in this estimate as one; Massa
chusetts and Pennsylvania five each,
with the remainder scattericK. Four'een
have bessu born in New England. Only
four States west of the Mississippi
Indians. Missouri. Iowa and Minnesota
have giveu birth to Senators.
Not a Senator has ben born la the
western halt of the Unltd States.
Coetly Opinion.
A New Y'ork lawyer once mi t a man
in the doorway of the court room who
was making change w ith aome employee.
The man stopped the lawyer and appeal
ed to him as to the. penuinenesp cf a $5
bill.
"Quito good," said the attorney,
complacently putting the note in his
pocket.
The man thanked him and asked
him to return the note. His consola
tion was the wave of the lawyer's
hand a he said;
" I never give an opinion under five
dollars."
As to Marrlara.
A matrimonial authority wisely says :
' These two rules will be sefe to fol
low in all but a few exceptional cases :
First, for a woman to refuse marriage
with anv mn who is objected to by her
male n-l'st .v-s. provided they Bre reason
ably well acquainted with the object of
supposed a:Te-t ion ; and. seco dly, for
a man to re-Train from -fT nnp Lis hand
in ms.rriasre to a woman whi is cot ap
proved by his sist r. or. if he has none,
by his judicious lady friends.
People who observe these p recant iocs
will rarely 1st- heard of asking for bills
of divorcement at the bar of the Superior
Court"
