Garnet s Humiliation.
BY MRS. M. A. tVKNISO\.
"Suuw callers for Mi>- Wcsibury,"
saiil the Bcll-traiuctl hotel servant, a*
In- prcM-ntci! card- on w -ilvcr -vlvcr.
"O, mamma! it'* those fashituiahlc
Mays; just the K—t |w-oplc iu Washing
ton ! John, tell them I'll be down very
soon, w iiat aJkuil I wear, mamma?
please tell lIH- quick. If ctutsiu Stella
wasn't so awfully stupid, sin- might
have got tnv lavender silk out hv tliis
time; or my lovely blue one, witli the
]Hvint law trininiings. Tray, tell me,
aotuebotly, what I -hall wear."
" Hit* silver gray you have on, w itb a
fresh rihlvoti, w ill he prettier than an
eiatmrate dress. 1 shouldn't mink ot
making an evening toilet it I were you,
even tor the May-, -aid Stella.
"That's because you don't know any
thing about them," responded iiarnet.
" W hat can such fashionable jusiple hav c
in ctuaunui with you? Frotwhly you'll
ueveir sju-ak to them in your life." and |
She threw ribbona and necklace, watch
Bud chain recklessly mi the martile top
table, in her haste; while her mother,
who had brought a costly, imported
dress from the warvirx>U-, procecdevl to
array her only and beautiful child in it
For Garnet w as beautiful, aud had Nvii
brought ujv, a- her father often said,
"without regard toc*st."
To please her, the old oil merchant
had consented to -pend \he winter in
Washington, at one of the flrst hotels,
and to Sueur no end of expense, for
Garnet was wild to see and mingle with
tlie best society.
There also he had found his niece, the
daughter of his dead brotlier, ill at an
ordinary boarding house, ami in the
g.wwiuess of his heart, had insisted upon j
her leaving as arduous {nvsUvm. and
spending ttie w inter with his famlfr.
Feeling the need of ro.-t and relaxa- •
fion, Stella had asvepted the kind offer,
much to the sjHjiled Garnwt's chagrin, |
who saw only in the little plain figure,
and somew hat old-fashtoned gartuauts,
a dowdy aud a foil. In fact she was
very much ashamed of her cousin, and
took no pains to hide her dislike.
"They are very worthy |>eople. I be- j
I'teve," Stella ;inswerel, with a flush on
her check.
"Very worthy! Good patience, mam- !
ma, hear her—the very pink and per
fection of Washington society! Very j
worthy people, indeed! Why. there >
are persons who would give half they ,
are worth to lw called u{>on by the i
Mays. Do you really think they are !
nrrjr ir--rt A j peylr, Stella? How much
they would Is- obliged if they could
only hear you."
Her cousin settled quietly into her
corner again with her book, but tlie
flush on ii-r cheek had faded into pale
ness.
"how, mamma, how do 1 look? O.
hut how awfully long to keep tliein
waiting. They probably saw in tin
papers that I have just come out. I'll '
wear both diamond rings, mamma.
Dear me, 1 wish the interview was i
over. They say that Miss Bella May <
, wears an India -hawl of almost fabu- ■
lous value, given to her by some great i
k.-wteen magnate, ami that Miss Anne
is to Bißrry an earl, an English earl;
think of that! If ever we go abn-ad. it <
will he of soch advautage to b- a'- j
quainted with her.*'-
She swept once or twice lack am!
forth, her splendid train spreading in a
peacock glory over the rich hues of the
carpet, then taking one last look in the |:
eheval mirror, and po-ing her head if)
its dagaie-t fashion, she walketi out of |
Aluufun like atttffwpirincess, conscious
oTbShpg si io-r N-st.
"Istt't she dressed a little too much
for a < lay eall?" :usk-' I Mrs. M" est bury. :
anxioßsty, as she uw the lt iri- glitter
of the rich silk vanish at the threshold, j
"I think she is," said Etelie, quietly.
"I'm afraid -o; but what enuM I do; !
Garnet has had her own way so*long
tliat I never pretend to dispute In-r
witiesor her taste," sighed the meek j
little woman—a sad confession for a
mother to make, a- Estelle thought,
with a pitying hv>k.
"Pray, are five Mays so very wonder
ful?" a-ked .Mrs. Weathury.
"I tielieve they are ot very good
family, ami I know th- j are tniiii> n-. lv
rich," said Ksteße; "but wluit I have
liear<l them chiefly extolled for is their
unaffected!!*** and gooil sense. Though
tle,y are really among the leaders of
society here, they are as quiet and un
assuming as—well, as true nobility of i
Character always make* one, I suppose.!
I ani glad they have called upon Gar
net. Tt may really be considered quite
an honor."
"They must have seen her. and she i
*o pretty," said tlie gratiflcl mother.
"Yes, Garnet is beautiful," rcpli*l f
Estelle: adding in her heart, "if only'
the tfliiMl correiq>ondel to the outer
hriue."
Meanwhile <>arnet, gratifleil ami tri
umphant, entered the handsome parlor
of the hotel. Here and there in group
sat visitors, ladies ami gentlemen, ami
the young girl was delighted by the
sensation caused hy her appearance.
For one little moment Garnet was con
■< * fused, IS going up to a email and well
dressMl group of people, she said, speak
ing to a lady, "Mrs. May, t presume."
"O, no, that 1* Mrs. May by the win
dow," responded the lady, pointing to
another circle with her fan. •
"Mercy, mamma," exclaimed Anne
May, a- the overdressed Garnet came
toward them, "We have evoked a rain
bow !"
Garnet, a little taken aback at sight
of the plain toilets of this distinguished
imrty, sailed opto them with her grand
est manner, and to cover her surprise
and trepidation, plunged at once into
conversation. She scarcely waited for
questions, but with the volubility of a
school-girl just released front bondage,
talked aud talked.
Before long, these strangers, as well
as others, whose ears were sharpened
hv bote) experience, knew the principal
events of her life; what school she had
attended; how she hated Blank, h-r
native city; what sort of a house her
father had bought and furnished; that
part of her family were traveling on
tlie continent, ami had sent her cqptly
presents; how much she, too, wanted
to visit foreign countries; and number
less little incidents that kept her visitor
staring, and almost silent.
At last she paused, and began the
contemplation of her dress. Surely
that most exquisite point lace must im
press them favorably; and the diamonds
on her fingprs and in her ears—not
many young ladies could afford to wear
them; and then the dress itself, how
she ached to inform them that it w;is art
importation from Paris, ami the work
of the great artist Worth, the prince of
dressmakers.
"Mamma," said Amu- May, in a voice
strikingly unlike the high-pitched time
of Miss Garnet, "would it not be as well
to mention tlie business for w liicli we
called ii|Miii Miss We-tbury ?"
Garnet's ears tingled so lliat perhap
a new splendor shot from their |M-mlant
jewels, for was not this a prelude to an
invitation to tiieir house, to some Ger
man or grand reception, where she
might see tlie President, and some of
the great men of thecountry.
"Yes, dear," said Mrs. May, in the
same low, modulated tones. "You see,
Miss Westbury, we have been searching
the city for a missing friend, and liav-

been culled down, i( seemed loiter now,
like a servant, to tell whatever -he
knew about her cousin.
"Mi*s iden i- here, with it-," -aid
Garnet.
"What! In thi* hotel? O, mamma!"
exclaimed Mi— Anne, with -i ukling
"1 will go up, and -end her down,"
said Garnet, rising.
"Pray, don't think it- *o rude," -aid
Mrs. May, and her hand was on the
bell-rtxpe.
A card was -cut up b\ the -ervant,
while Garti-t -at still. In mute surprise.
Iter high spirit.- gone, iter vanity lahl
low.
Pre-enily, to iu-r horror, Stella .q>-

identical Mack -ilk dre-—ru-ty it tliat
—which *lic alway* wore. But now
Garnet saw with new eyes- -aw a deli
cacy and Is-aiily in her figure, an c\-
pre—ion in lier face, that had ls-en
-eaieti to her hitherto.
NY iiat vv a* lier cxix-cdiug .i-ttmi-li
inent to note that all the M t\ - n>-e,aml
witli oiit-tr*'tc!iel itand- welcomed lier
cousin v* itli tlie warmest ilenion-tra
tions. Miss Anne ki--e*l her; Mrs. May
juitted lier check, ami called iter darl
ing; Mis- Belie ehided her IV.r not coin
ing to sec them; all had a kind word, a
real welcome, for the girl Garnet had
considered a little uobodv.
At Lt*t the truth came ont. Mi*s
Glen was the daughter of one w ho had
been a brave soldier during tlie war.
Her fattier bail died, nobly giving hi*
life up in the her*tie effort to save hi
superior officer—and tliat officer was
Gol. May.
Mi*- Glen I'ad then devoted herself to
the *k k and wounded in the hospital,
and had, singularly enough, succeeded
by her devotion in carrying through a
ti-rrible ilhie* tlie sn of thi* same Col.
May, a young lieutenant, w ho had been
dangerously wounded at Gettysburg.

U' take In-r with them, but a- the young
ofth-er aforesaid had made projaisal* of
marriage to Mis- Glen, and been re
jeeted, she very wisely declined.
All this Garnet learned afterward.
At the time she only felt a burning re
sentment that this quiet, unfashionable
cousin had preceded lier in the good
graces >f one of the nto*t prominent
families in town, and it seemed like
adding tlie one drop too much when
Mr*. May. after alnm-t literally implor
ing a visit from Mi*s Glen, turned a* if
she lietliouglit herself, and hlandly
added, "and bring your little oouain

In time, however, -he thought K-tter

species of regard for the cupever exist
in England, nut 1 know of many who
eould not lie induced to"ilrink from a
white cup or bowl, the reason alleged
hi-ing the insutlbnent one tliat it re

almost neediest to say that thi* could
never have been the origin of the an

trrni'lcn on any object, or if the -kirt of J
her dress bus swept over or touched it. j
it is cither destroyed, or. if of value, 1* !
dbqioaed of or never used again. I found
on inquiry that the same custom still !
prevails among tlie old gy|*>y families ;
in England, and that if the object be a '
crockery plate or cup, it is at once ]
broken For thi* reason, even more
than for convenience, real gypsies arc I

Mr. If. J. Wetenhall, wlio witli a
party of friends recently made tin
ascent of Snow don, Scotland, gives the
following account of the curious pheno
mena of the mirage ob-crved by them:
"The atmosphere was clear until we
had reached within half a mile of the
summit, when a light cloud rising
steadily from amongst the southern
,peaks enveloped it. Drifting toward n*,
when very near, the cloud dropped over
the eastern shoulder of the mountain
i just where it di|* towards Cupel Curig.
As we stood watching, great was our
surprise and delight as we lieheld pain
ted upon it, not the arc-eti-rifl with
which we are familiar, but a complete
and brilliant prismatic circle, appar
ently about thirty feet In diameter, in
the very centre of which we ourselves
were depicted, the Image being some
what enlarged but clearly defined; u*
we arranged the party in groups or
bowed to each other, every form and
movement was faithfully reproduced In
the picture. It was now almut eight
o'clock, with the sun nearly in a line
with us. Dtir guide, who hail made
some hundreds of ascents, had never
witnessed such a sight before."

a fair assumption, further that it is a

One fact elicited by the discussion of
this subject tends to justify tlie prohi
bitionists in their denunciation* of thr
insidious character of intoxicating
drinks, tn the course of his investiga
tions Dr. Dupre discovered that alcohol
is apparent in -mail quantity in the
IHSIII-- ~f sirietiv temperate poop I*;
that, as he put it, "the healthy system
of tin- tee-to-taller brew a, so to aje-ak. m
little drop for itself." It is notable
tliat Mi-inmetr, writing 'Jo years ago.
aitranci-d as a *iirui-e tlie fact which
Dupre has now establislieil. Alcohol
is indeed generated in tlie digestive
protX's- of all animal-. All vegetable
contaiii -tareh, all fruits sugar, arid
starch is itself resolvable into sugar.
Acting Upon the -acehariue siibstamv
tlie natural heat of the body produces
feruieuUXiou. and fermentation results
in tlie involuntary introduction of stim
ulating liquor Into the most temperate
jieople's insides! This fact is a proof
of tlie necessity of a small quantity of
alcohol to tin- animal economy, even in
a healthy condition, if not as food, at
least as H ii agent (ending to svfit diges
tion. To consider the Injurious physl

For to long a time the scientific world
ha* believed In the idea of De Suii*ure
—that the water particle#, of which
i clouds and log* consist, are ve*iclea,
i analogous to soup bubbles, consisting <>|
a watery envelope, with a vacuum in
-iil-, so a* to Ix- *|ieolrtonlly lighter than
the air. It is strange, say* the Venn

standing t he material of which they arc
part.* i* considerahly heavier than the
ni-ili it in In which they float. Powder#
of heavy material may he kept up in
water for days ami weeks, a* those who
prepare polishing powder* know. The
finest emery isonly obtained from water
from which the course particles have
been de|Misited in different periods of
time, aix'ording to their fineness, when
H( lust, after collecting the deposit* of
many hours, and even days, the very
UiibSt parts do not settle until after
many weeks' rest.
It is the same in the nir; If we collect
the dust deposited in a room which lias
been closed for sonic weeks, and exam-
Lite it, w will liml It ull to consist of
particle* of very heavy materials, ami if
machine shops are In the neighborhood,
even metallic dust w ill I*' leiogiiDcd.
Now whan heavy tuelailie dust cau tie
carried in llw *ir, whv not water dut,
w lit< bis much lighter? In viewing the
grand falls of Niagara, We liave nntlcs-d
that, when th atmosplmre was not t*M<
dry, -o a* to cause tlie spray tolisap|M-ar,
while the skv wa* covered with loose,
floating clouds, lire apray lit an ending
formed a cloud identical to tlie otiiers,
witli which it floated away.
'i'lie height at which the dhiwls w ill
float ile|M-i|i|s chiefly on (lie ai/e of (lie
watery particle*—the larger they are
the lower the cloud* will float. This
was recently verified by Air. Angus
Moilh in Iceland, where he ob*ci veil a
cloud or fog lolling down tin- streets
like dust, ft came frotu the sea, aud
the particles were larger than any he
hud ever seen la-fore, being about one
tour-hundredth ol an inch in diameter.
He did Itul find the parlicJa* hollow,
hut concrete throughout, ami in his
account refer* also to the aliaiirdity of
the. heory tiiat the cloud particle*
should consist of hollow sphere* or
vesicle*.
The jiower whi.'li hold* small and
heavy intrudes up iu a liquid or gas ia

with tlie surface. The liner the dust i*

conies toward tho spectator* with a
basket full of eggs, which she passes
around for inspection to prove that they
are real, and not imitations. The music
strikes up a jerky, monotonous strain
ami the dancer begins to whirl around
with great rapidity. Then, seizing uu
egg, -lie puts it in one of the slip nooses
and, with a quick motion, throws it
