Witlnii the gnlo was tho court yntd an imivense court yard, uiry nnd light which, when thrown open during the day, flooded tho whole street with brill iancy. At tho extremity ol tho court nrd Mood a vast building of great an tiquity, with embellished aim ornament ed bluck walls, with balconios of round ed iron and. atone balconies with piln s ters, with very lofty und tremendoi s windows, surmounted by pediments and capitals, which arose in the topmost sto nes, like so many little roofs m tlio root, and lastly, upon the summit of all, amid the slates, with tho round and coquettish dormer windows of tho man sards enframed with garlanda like mir rors. Added to this were immense stotis slops, oalen nnd turned green by the rain, n meager vino emigmg to the Wills as black and twisted as tho rope which Unrig from the pulley away up ttJwarJ tho garret, and a pronounced nir ofgo and sadness. Such was the foriher-liott-l of Keemond. In broad day tho aspect of thomaiisitiu was nlibjteXlvar-diffQfiait. 4The.yords "c6uu'twg. lipvjile,4w.'irbrddiii&(, 'jfait trance to tho worlcshoiis," sliono out everywhere in gold lettora tipbn tlio old walls, fluiiic them with life rojuvonat- ing them. The trucks from tho railroads shook the portals, and tho clerks came to tho steps with thoir pens behind their ears to receive thi merchandise, Th court yard was em nmbered'-xvith besoi, with baskets, with straw and with bag ging. In short, the place had all the look of ii manufactory. But at night, in the deep Bilence, beneath the winter moon, which, nmid tho disorder of com plicated roofs, cast and intermingled shadows, tho ancient residence of the Nesmonds resumed its lordly appear ance. The Dfiiconies were ooverett witii lace, tho court of honor grow larger and tho irregularly lighted old stairway be- catno full of cathedral like reoesgoStWith empty niches nnd dimlsteps which re sembled altars. The night of which wo are speaking, especially M. Majesty, thought his estab lishment had a singularly grand aspect. As h& paused through the deserted court yard the sound of his footsteps made n deep impression on him. Tho stairway seemed immense and terribly difficult to ascend. It was the effect of his little. Bunper, doubtlees. Arrived nt tho first landing he stopped to take breath and hpproBchdd a window. So much tor liv ing in nu historical mansion! M, Majes ty was not a poet, oh, no; but, ueverthe. less, as ho gassed out at the beautiful aristocratic court yard, over which th.8 moon spread n sheet of blue light, and at the noble old edifice, whioh had just the ear of sleeping, with ita roof stretch luir hwht uunrnui muir uuvtHiiiK vt snow, lie bogan tuuiKlng ot tn outer world. What if the Netunouds should- re turn?'' murmured lie. At that moment the bell TWB YtO' U-nlly. The gate was thrown open so qtuciuy, so suqueiuy, jjjbi uie tamp was extiugtitsbed, and tor eeveral iuiuuv, in the huaow or the gateway, Utere a confused aouud of whispering and of vestments robbing against e&cli otltar. Peqiile disputed, and hastened to enter. Thfte were valets, plenty of valets coaches with glass windows reflecting the moonbeaiiui, and sedan chairs pal uuced bs)rween. twq torches, which lUred in the draught at the gute. In no time the roprt yard was jammed. But at the toot of the steps the confusion ceased. People descended from the vehicles, saluted each other, and went iu chatting as if they knew the, house. Upon the steps silks rustled and swords clattered Nothing but white huaddrossea, heavily loaded with powder; nothing but small, shrill voices, some without melody, and Jight fiotbttpb. A" tbe people seemed re be old, very old There were dull t) ts, dim jewels and auciuut brocaded silks shot with chang ing hues, Avhich the light of the toruluM caused to shiiie ',vith u soft luster, and above all Hunted a, t,iny cloud of powder, which mounted from the curled twad dreitoes at each eonrtly Imjw, a trifle poiu)H)ii)i in'OutLM-t of the swords and great pttnii i.t Boon the, whole house had the air of being haunted.

Tlio entiro Ilotel of Uesinond wits illuminated as if the setting irtnt hud flooded it with its brilliancy. "Great Jove! they'll burn thi hdiwe down I" oried M. Slojesty. And, recov ering from ltia stupor, ho strove iu shako the henviuens out if his legs nnd do swndod qtrtpkly to the court yard, where Urn scmrat had jnst kitidlesl a rousing fire. M. Alajesty approached and rw mmistrated with tliem. The servants made no reply, and contiuuetl to talk in low tones among themselves without the least Vapor escaping from their llpjs in the ioy'looni of the night. M. Majesty Wft rineftay, but one thing reassuri d him, Anil that was that this great fire Which jlamed so high and no steadily VMS n lftbst singular fire (t flame devoid of lieatVhich 8tMirklel but did not bum.

Unfortunately there were neither curtains nor furniture. Notldng but baskets, great boxes fiUed xVilU dphons, with iiewter heads, nnd tlie dried branches of nn old lilno busli -vhtch still hung in inky black ness behind the windows. M. Ma jesty, on jsntering found his ware rooms Jull of light nnd company. He bowed pnlirely, lint nobody paid the leqst nttentton to him. The women, in tlioir stfjji, Clonks, on tho amis of their onvnliefB,' "continuod their coremouitil nffectRtions, They promenaded, chatted and sepftrnted.

Suddenly soino one cried out: "Here's lmm$asnpl. Hero's cbampague!" "JND, jtrisn'ti "Yob, it is it's champagne! Com, couutosfl, let's havo n bumper." It was M.

M Majesty felt himself out of place. Ho got behind .1 box nnd looked on. Little by lilUe, however, tho day byoke. Through tho glass doors of the warerooms the good man saw tho court jTird grow lighter, then tlio tops of the windows, then all one sldo of the salon. As the brightness increased tho figures faded and woro confounded together. Soon M. Majesty saw only two violinists lingering in a corner and evaporating ns tho light touched them.

Professor Helmert reported in Ufa. S.9B3 of the Astronomiache Na cbrichteu that the latitudes of Berlin and Fotadaui, which ltad shown no per cepriblo variation during the first six months of 1880, in the third quarter of (hat year increased at first and then diminished, the movement continuing till Jauuary, ibOO.

All Wine, a Chinese Cook, Is Cast Away, Uoscueil by Indians', nnd Is Heine Fat- , tonod for the I'ot, When nn Indian Maiden Saves Ills Life. Pocnhontns has been outdono by nn Alaskan maiden. John Smith was only iu danger of having his brains spattovod over tho surrounding real ostato when Pocahontas resouod him with her lovo. Tho John Smith of Alaska was not only in danger of being killed, but of being eaten, when tho woman in whose eyes ho found favor savod him. Tho Alaskan John Smith wits not a titled oxplorer when ho fell into tho hands of tho savages, nor was his namo John Smith. Ho wns only a common, yellow skinned sea cook. His nnmo is Ah Wing, and thoro is nothing attract ive about him. Ho is about ns homely a rnmuro or Uhlnainan and Malay pt roto 818 oM fund In a day's wnllc. f 's Pocahontas answers to tho namo of Julio just now, but nobody knows what Iior Indian name was. Sho is a long way of being Pocahontas' equal in beauty, nnd tho Slwnsh features of gen erations wero consolidated when hnr Tuco was made. Still tho romance is thero. Ah Wing and Julio, now Mrs. Ah Wing, arrived hero on a codfish schooner Bovom! months since, but havo not gone into society yet. They rosldo on Ross alloy, in Chinatown, and submitted to an interview. Thoy only submitted to it, thoy did not tako part in it, and when it cauio to securing tlie story of their lovo tho reporter was obliged to obtain his information from ft third party, to whom Wing had confided it in explana tion of his off color bride. SAVED UY JULIU. All Wing somo nino years ago was a cook sn the employ or tlio navy depart ment, and was shipped north on tho Jamestown. Whilo on tho Sitka station Wing atimopxpirod or ho dosorted just which la not nuito plum and shipped nooaru u wuaier. xuo wnaior was wrockod and Wing was cast upon an in hospitable ico lloe. Julio was tho daugh ter of ft chief of n tribo of Indians, and whilo hunting with hor father discov ered Ah Wing, who was ns near dead from starvation, cold and oxpo3i.ro ns it was possible for him to bo and retain life. For days nnd days Julio nursed liiiu, and ho finally recovered to find himself the object of a groat doal of at tention on tho part of tho Indians. Thov could speak no Chincso or English, and Wing had no comprohension of their dialect.
