by openly defying blackmailers,
whose clutches thoy had unfortunately |

The first step in treating with them at
all is the entering wedg re of their mis-

being a man of rare nerve ana prudence,
who for the past filteen years of his
life has paid £50 monthly toa woman

“I know of another case in this city

business man. He became involved in
an intrigue, and was hounded by two
blackmailers to whom he paid 835.000

positively to prosecute them, although
aware of their eharacter, fearing pub-

The doctor, therefore, with the two
ladies, took passage for Harrisburg.
They were equi pped for the mountains
with valises, short flannel dresse 8,
waterproofs, a pound or two of good
tea and a tin pot. The doctor carried
gun, fishing-tackle and a flask of Seoteh
whisky, which was his one catholic
remedy in the woods for cuts, fevers,
colds or rattlesnake bites.
At Harrisburg they took the Niagara
express to Lock Haven, a cheerful little
lumber town | iying high among the hills,
where they spent the night. Early in
the morning the doctor called Sarah to
the window of the inn parlor.
** Thereis my oid friend, Hoeven with
the spring wagon. [ wrote for him to
meet us. Hoeven is the cabinetmaker
among the Nittany mountains.”
*1 am afraid this is a civilized
wilderness to which you are taking us,
doctor,” said Sarah. “No cabinet-
makers adorned our Vi irginia Canaan.
**Oh, the Pennsylvania spurs of the
Alleghanies are tame compared with
those of Virginia or the Carolinas. The
very hills are leveled on top, you will
observe, as if some ancient Dutch Gog
or Magog had set his broad foot on
every peak, flattening them down. Klik
and McKean counties are tolerably
savage, but even there the yellow farm-
houses with green shutters and the big
barn are beginning to show themselves.
A few deer, besr and foxes still hide up
in the fssinesscs of the hills to which we
are goicg, but they are fast disappear-
ing. There are no wolves nor panthers,
such as we shall find in the higher
ranges of the Appalachian mountains in
North Carolina and W est Virginia,
Every county in Pennsylvania | is yoked

“I'm very glad to hear it,” exclaimed
his wife. ** And what society shall we
find, George?”
** You wiil not hiave a chance to study
any of the picturesque phases of human
pature, of which you are fond, I'm
afraid, my dear.” said the doctor
anxiously. “Plenty of bear-hunters
and moonshiners in North Carolina.
But the Duteli or Scotch-Irish farmer
has taken possession of thie most solitary
recesses in the Pennsylvania moun-
tains outside of the mining districts.
His wife has her patent churn snd
wringer, her parlor with hair-cloth
chairs, and photograph album on the
table; his boy is at some cheap local
college, and his daughter drapes her |
calico polonaise by the latest fashion in
the Bazar.”

demanded his wife, impatiently.
* There is church twicen month, sew-
ing bees, and apple-butter stirrings.
The older women seldom leave their
kitchens except to go to church, The
wife of a ‘near’ Pennsy.vania hill farmer
is perhaps the hardest-worked living |
being in the United States. But as for |
the girls, schools and magazines, and a
day or two at the Exposition in 1876,
have leavened the young ple. The |
girl does not make as good butter as her
mother, but she works tidies and deco-
rates pickle jars. She has her lover, of
course. He does not bring her flowers |
or opera tickets, but a leg of mutton
weekly from the sheep his folks have
killed. But there is as fine an aroma of |
love in it as in the costliest bouquet.”
said Mra. Malock, sharply. *‘ What did
we come to these mountains for, I won-
der? If only to study vulgar love-mak-
ing and tawdry apings of fashion, we
need not have left New York.”
** We are}-oing to study nature, and I
am taking you to Centre and Clinton
counties, my deur,” said the doctor,
meek.y, “because the mountains there,
thoug "lower than others in the range,
than any in the State. [ can show you

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Fashions in Haly Dressing,
The hair is dressed very simply this |
geason, and close to the head, showing |
all its outlines. The voluminous puffs |
and chignons worn last year ave entirely |
out of fashion, and very little false huir |
is used, except in natural-looking |
switches for enlarging the braids in |
which the back hair is arranged. low
coiffurcs are most in favor, though |
ladies who ave short, or those with |
round faces, sti] wear the hair dressed
used by them. The only stylish high
| coiffure is formed by combing all the
ward from the nape of the neck,
| then covering the top or erown of the
head with a large soft knot, made by
tying a switch in a loose, flufly knot,
and tucking the ends beneath out of
eight, If the forehead is low, the front
hair is then combed straight back, and
left plain; but ifthe forehead is too high,
it Is shaded by irregular Montague
waves, or else by a short bang. Low coil
fures are more generally becoming to the
oval faces of American ladies. The
popular chatelaine braids are still used
quite low atthe back, and these are now

Montague curls there are three ways of
arr apging the front hair: First, with the
loose waves that look natural, and leave

corners ‘he natural-looking
waves must not be fluffy, now that

are ily made by putting up
the hair on two or four hairpins, and
wearing it so all night. The hair should
be only slightly moistened, as when

The unclean practice of putting oil on

natural oil of the hair is brought out by
much brushing with a stiff brush; the
shampooing keeps the scalp clean and
prevents the sccumulation of dandruff,

of fine combs. There is in the market

to promote the gro ath of the hair, and

The recent remarkable religious move-
ment in France is attributed largely to
the distribution of the Word of God.
Rev. Dr. Fisk, of Paris, reports that four
million copies of the Seriptures have
been sold in France; that all the young
men in the army havs been taught to
read the Gospel of John, and that 500,-
000 young men know that Gospel by
heart; and that 100,000 soldiers, driven
into Protestant Switzerland during the
iate war, have returaed to France, each
with a New Testament and various
religious tracts.
The oldest missionary society in ex-
istence, the Soc iety for the Prop: wation
of the Gospel, states in its one hundred
and seventy-ninth annual report that
among the results of the society's work
are 135 bishops, more than 5,000 clergy,
and upward of 2,000,000 members of the
communion. It ring the past year
there have been 593 missionaries en-
gaged, of whom 152 have labored in
Asia, 124 in Africa, 65 in Australasia
and the Pacific, 256 in America and
West Indies, and two in Europe. There
are also about 1,395 catechists and lay
teachers, mostly natives, and about 250
missionary students.

The Lost Well.
In the Sahara desert only a few wi
are found; they are looked upon with
reverence, as the gift of God. It is not,
as some suppose, a vast flat region, but
interspersed with moun‘ains; rocks of
vast size are as common as sand. No
country is difficuit to traverse, for
there are n 0 landmarks; the only trace
a caravan leaves is the bones of the
horses or camels that die by the way.
Those who travel the desert carry water
and food enough t> last them from well
to well; and, if they lose the route, they
all usually perish.
An old legend

story of how a dog saved his master
from drowning: Last Monday a num-
ber of soldiers went from Fort Craig
{the Rio Grande for a bath. Among
them were Captain Jack Crawford.
Alter being in the water about three-
quarters of an hour Captain Jack started
to cross toward the other side of a sand
bar, on which the water was only fiom
six inches to a foot deep. Several of the
others followed Jack and they had con
siderable fun tripping each other and
rolling over in the water, while two of
the boys got Jack down in the shallow
water snd tickled him in the ribs until
Le was nearly exhausted with laughter,
being very ticklish. In order to get |
| away from his SUriaentors Jack rolled
over toward the deep water on the lower
{ edge of the bar, and when he got up on
! his* feet he kept backing down stream,
tells
two feet of water where he stood, yet
the current was so strong that it would
carry him down should he lose his foot-
ing. He kept splashing water on those
who had been tickling him and banter-
ing tho to come on after him, when
suddenly he made two or three desperate
efforts to get back, but failed. Yet he
said not a word, or the others might

No one dreamed for a moment

facts might be learned from him. Iis
habits are quite peculiar. He sleeps all

sits up from sunset till the next morn-

drink whisky, but has retormed, and
loves to poke n fire which burns on the
