A Shrewd Widower. Deacon Grinder was a portly widower. He was the biirvtving parent of three sprightly children, and regarded as in possession of considerable property. The "little darlings," as they were styled, met with lavish expressions of admira tion in the presence of tho deacon from a number of ancient maiden ladies and widows. Jliss l'hilena Peck had taken care of them during his temporary ab sence, and declared that she fairly doted cm children and hoped the deacon would let thcin come again. The Widow Clapp, as he was driving by, hurried out with a pail of honey in the comb, all of which she said was just the thing for the little dears. "Deacon," said she, '"when are they coming to spend the day with me?" As the deacon reached the village green, nut of n millinery tdoro tripped Miss Barbara Bowper. Mio commenced to flutter the widower for his"be-yutiful re marks" in pr.iycr-mcetingn few evenings before, and then wound up by presenting Tommy w ith a collar, Josie with a hand kerchief, and Dorothy with a doll. "Oh! don't thank me, Deacon," she said. "It ain't nothing compared with the peace of mind I got a-listcning toyour precious remarks." On drove the flattered father, As ho passed Naomi l'oole's house, she was sitting by the window, and modestly but pleasantly smiled and nodded to the party as they drove by. In the evening, as the Deacon sat alone at the hearthstone with his bister Mahal.t Ann, the latter commenced to qucstio.. him if he meant to marry again. lie re plied he thought it would add to his do mestic felicity. Mahala replied: "In that cisc I do hope you'll make a sensi ble choice, and not allow yourself to bo imposod upon by a pack of selfish widows and scheming old maids." She assured him it was only because ho had a nice homo and farm, and money at interest, that they pretended to lovo him and his children so much. "Well ho said, bringing down his palm forcibly upon tho table, "I ain't sorry that those investments of mine in tho Mariposa Silver Mining Company have proved a failure." "What do you mean?" said Mahala Ann, curiously eyeing him over tho top of her spectacles. But the deacon only shook his head and smiled, "Time will show," said he, "time will show," Tho news of his loss in Mariposa stock flew about the community. Shortly after the deacon mado his appearance, and told Miss Beck he was about to go to California, and hoped she could be in Jural to give his children it home. "O, dear, no!" said Miss Beck. "I never could get along with a pack of children! I dare say you can find some orphan asylum or place of that sort, by inquiring around a little. .Miss Peek sat su very upright, and ..i i ... r:..i..r..u i... .i i... twwKiiiiuwij u.ouu, urn ho was fain to beat a retreat us toon as possible. bLRMAN REMEDY no Kno heu next aune v mow i lapp g tno theater, ..tit, sea'.ej In a box, re- had arrived at the house where tho suborlbe for Ihe C umov iivr door.

Naomi Poole ran out of the Htllo gar den gale as the forlorn deacon wont by. "Deacon Grinder," hcsltntcd she, turn ing rose red and white by turns, "is this true?" "About my Mariposa investment? Yes."- "And that I am going to Cali fornia?" "I urn talking of it," said the deacon, "Would could you let mo tiiko care of the little ones while you nro gone?" said Naomi, tenderly drawing little Dol ly to her side. "You have been so kind to mother and mc, Deacon Grinder, that wo should feci it it privilege to bo ablelo do something for you." And poor, soft-hearted liltlo Naomi bttrstoutcrying.

He did loose what he invested in thcin Maripcsa mines, but it was onlv $1,000; and the rest of his moncv is all tight and safe in United States bonds and solid real estate.'" "Blcr.6 me!" baid Barbara Bowper. "Well, I never!" said the Widow Clapp, with a discomfited countenance. "And," went on Mrs. Mopsley,' with evident relish "in the- consternation she,! was causing, "they aro building 't wing to tho house, and he is lo be mar ried to Naomi Poole in the fall." "A child like that!" said Mrs. Clapp. "With no experience whatever!" said Barbara Bowper, scornfully. "I hope Jio won't repent of his bar gain," said Miss Philcna Peck. And Miss Philena's charitable hopes were fulfilled. Tho deacon never did re pent of his bargain. A Wicked Woman. On tho morning of Aug. 20, 16GS, Senor Laliarricr,an immensely wealthy Spaniard, died suddenly at his home in St. Thomas. Ills young and beautiful wife acted as though demented when she learned that her husband had passed away, and her Intense grief and pro longed hysteria gave rise to the belief that tho unfortunate woman would her self soon follow the husband whose loss she seemed to feci such poignant grief for. When Senor I.a Barrier's will was probated it was found that ho had be queathed his entire fortune to his wife, and, as no one disputed the testament, the young wife decided to turn the for tune into ready cash and leave St. Thomas. Shortly after scnora's departure tho servant who had been employed In tho family of Senor La Barrier informed tho chief of police that ho had occasion to believe that his late master had been poisoned, and that no less a personage than La Barrier's wife had committed the crime. IIo handed the chief a vial of prusslc acid, which he said ho baw drop from scnora's pocket, wrapped in a handkerchief, a couple of nights beforo his master's death: and, though a doc tor's certificate declared that death w'as occasioned by peritonitis, ho was moral ly certain that the man had been poison ed. The body of La Barrier was subse quently exhumed, and a post-mortem re vealed the fact that death was occasioned by prussie acid. Suspicion pointed to the wife as the murderess, and steps were at once Insti tuted by the murdered man's sister-in law to discover the whereabouts of Sc- nora La Barrier. "Black Pedro," the detective was, at tho time wo speak of, probably better known to the criminal class of Cuba and Mexico than any other man living. To htm was Intrusted tho finding of Senora La Barrier, and It was under peculiar diulcultics that the officer started out to find the woman. Ills ability in such cases was never doubted, and his daring and bravery were by-words with every one. "Black redro" bad reached Vera Cruz In his bcarch for tho missing woman, ami one day ho Imparted the object jf his visit to a feUow-offlccr. After cxplnln- Ing all the circumstanee3 which had come to his knowledge concerning the young and beautiful widow, he said that there was no doubt In his mind whatev cr that she had murderori her lmshnnrl aml floJ t0 a placo of Mfcty w,tU aU ,,, wealth.

As sho ap peared In nnswer to his card tho detcc- IJvc quietly said; ,"Sdnora', it Is my duty to arrest yori!" "You dare not I" The -woman's Hps wera white with passion, rather than fear, and sho stood beforo tho detective like a. lioness nt bay, He himself could not help but note tho striking beauty of tho woman. Tall and slender, eyes black and flashing, nl mo3t lurid at tho time, the spectacle she presented standing there In the middle of tho room, was moro tho appearance of a queen than a huntod criminal. "I must," replied "Black Pedro," "I do not doubt your innocence Looking In your face, It Is strange that any one could couple It with guilt. But I am constrained to do my duty, senora, how. over unpleasant it may be to my feci" Ings." "Will you allow mo to change my dress?'' she said, in a tono almost pleas ant. The hard lines around the mouth had relaxed nnd tho passionate glow on tho face gave way to pleasant smile. "Certainly, I will wait for you here." I also wish to send a messenger for a friend. Will you permit him to pass?" "Certainly." . As tho woman left the room "Black Pedro" stepped to tho window and said to his mate, who was waiting at tho street door: "Seuora desires to send a messenger for a friend. Will you permit hint to pass?" Almost the same instant the door of the apartment that senora had cntcredopened, and a youth apparent ly a mulatto boy came out and passed hurriedly through the room into the hall, and from thence into the street. It was, no doubt, the messenger, Pedro thought, and he picked up a book and began reading. Nearly an hour passed and still senora did not make hsr -.appearance, nor did the boy return. The friend she had sent for must havo lived at somo distance, "Black Pedro" thought, or senora was I'unusually careful about iter toilet, and to another hour went by. At last the detective grew impatient and knocked at the door, '''Senora, I can watt no longer." There was no reply. He knocked re peatedly, and at last he determined to effect an entrance. Strange fears har assed him; he began to suspect he knew not what. It took but a moment to drive In the door.and, once In the apart mcnt.the mystery was revealed. Scnora's clothes lay upon the lloor, and scattered over tho roam wcro suits of boys' wear ing apparel, similar to the one worn by the mulatto boy. On a table was a cos metic that would stain tho skin to a light, delicate brown. "Black Pedro" was foiled for a certainty. Senora had escaped in tho guise of a messenger. Why had ho not detected the ruse? Ho felt humiliated nnd determ ined to redeem his error. He knew she would not remain in the city an instant longer than she could help. Ho hurried to her banker's, but found that sho had drawn the amount due her nn hour be fore. "Who presented the check?" asked the detective. 'A mulatto boy It was made payable to bearer." There was yet a chance. A steamer left within an hour for America; It was possible that sho would ieek that means of escape. "Black Pedro" jumped Into a carriage and arrived at tho wharf ten minutes before the vessel left just in time to assist an aged and decrepit gen tleman into the cabin. There were few passengers; none of them answered the description of the person tho detective sought. He stood on the wharf watch ing tho receding vessel until it disap peared, lie was In the act of turnln; away, when a driver of one of the car riages at the landing, and who was per sonally acquainted with "Black Pedro," approached the odlcer with tho remark: "Pedro, did you see that old man on board ho had a long white beard and hair that fell on his shoulders?" . "Yes." "Well, sir, there's something curious about him." "Why?" "Why, when he got Into my carriage he was a mulatto boy, and when he got out he was an old man!" . "Black Pedro" uttered an exclamation that could hardly be used in typo when ho' heard this announcement, for he knew the vessel would be far out at tea before, she could " be overtaken. He was foiled by a woman. Nor could he help rejoicing, now that tho chase was over, that tho woman had escaped. In nocent or guilty, there was a charm about this .woman that none could re sist. The. spell of her wondrous beauty nffccted'alT who approached her. "It lingered; for years after in my memory'" said "Black Pedro" one day while narrating the incidents of the case, "and I could not havo tho sin of her blood upon my conscience." On tho morning of Jan. 23, 1875, the City of Mexico was startled by tho an nouncement that a murder, the most brutal and fiendish that had ever red- atnl the criminal annals of the dark side of Mexican llfe.had been committed i and that tho victim,- a stranger In tho eninmunltv. w.i. mnn i, ,,!. alive, was of surpassing beatttv s. $1.00 If JilTtillilin II ; before, nnd accompanied by a hand some gentleman, who Introduced her as Ills wifo, He had boen seen to leave tho i house nbont 10 o'clock on tho samn leading to the .

The woman lay crosswis'o on the bed with only hor chemtso upon her, nnd her head, which hung by a few sinews to her body, was within a few inches of tho floor.

Her mur derer was never apprehended, and im mediately .after the inquest was held tho body was burIod lu the publlo grave yard, a ftightful example of tho wages of sin, SOMETHING! 10 BEMEMBEK. IJirOHTAT PACTS HELATIXO TO POS TAL ArrAjus, No valuable package should ever be mailed unless it is registered. Send no oash mpney by mall. It is much safer and cheaper In tho long run to buy a money order or postal note, Animals, reptiles, llvo or dead (not stuffed), Insects, except queen bees when safely secured, are excluded from tho malls. NotlJng Is received for mailing that weighs over four pounds, excapt In case of a single book, as for example, a bible, or dictionary, or history, Never ask a postmaster for credit for postage stamps, envelopes, or box rents. He Is not allowed to grant it, Tho issue of a.monoy order on credit is strictly prohibited, vuider the severest penalties. No postmaster should ever be expected to thus lay himself liable to criminal prosecution. Don't forget that all parcels deposited for mailing must be so wrapped that they can be examined without destroying the wrapper, otherwise letter rates of post age are charged. Postage stamps of one denomination cannot bo exchanged for those of another denomination ; neither can they be taken In payment for stamped envelopes or newspaper wrappers. The dead letter office Is a monument to the carelessness and stupidity of the American people. The average number of letters received thcro dally is about 15,000. Persons presenting money orders for payment, who are unknown, tire expect' cd to prove their Identity. The tamo precautions enforced In banking institu tions are observed in postoftices. Postmasters are not obliged to accept coin or currency so mutilated as to be un- currcnt. Don't try and get all your old worn-out bills upon them. All manuscript matter designed for publication In books, magazIncs,perIodi cals or newspapers, is subject to letter postage unless accompanied by proof sheets of the same. Manuscript music is rated In the same manner. ' Never rush In at the last moment just as the malls arc closed and ask the post master to unlock the pouch and put your letters In, for you may cause, him needless delay and inconvenience by so doing, especially if ho accommodates yon. If you write a letter and address It In correctly, or If It cannot bo delivered to the party addressed, by having your business card ontheacnrclope,you Insure Us return to you. Otherwise It will go to tho dead letter ofiicc. In all your correspondence, whenever It can be done, give tho street and num ber as well as county and state. This saves much time and Is a sure preventive against errors of delivery. It is much better to spell tho name of the state in full. Letters addressed to fictitious parties or firms cannot be delivered, that is, where tho parties aro unknown. This rule is Intended simply to prevent illicit and unlawful corrcspond;nce,and would not be enforced where the persons are known to bo reputable citizens. When advertised letters are inquired for It Is necessary for tho person calling to state from what placo they are ex pecting correspondence.
