A Cincinnati Idyl.
There Is to be a wedding in the West
End soon which will be the sequel to a
rather romantic introduction. Ono
night about a year ago a daintily attired
little lady got aboard one of the 7th
street cars on her way home from her
day's work in on uptown office. Tho car
was well filled, and the young lady was
compelled to swing on the end of a strap
for many squares. Sho was a little bit
of a body, and she had to stretch her
arms considerably to reach a strap for
support The car gave a lurch ns it
turned a corner, and a white band made
lit appearance about the little woman's
waist As it slowly grow larger broad
miles made their appearance on the
faoea of several of the nialo passengers.
Feeling something was wrong, the
young lady glanced down at her waist
end at once blushed crimson wttn em
barrassment A young mechanic on his
way home from work was in the car,
and seeing the young lady's dilemma he
proved himself a true gentleman by at
enoo coming to her assistance. Step
ping between her and the other passon
sent ne said:
"Pardon me, miss, but if you wish to
Adjust your skirt I will screen you from
Vbe over curious eyes or tuese otner pas-
eiigera-"
The little lady accepted the proffered
old with thanks, and after that they
met nearly every evening on their way
home. Their acquaintance ripened into
something stronger than friendship, and
the closing act In this "romance of a car
strap'' will be tho wedding of these two.

The so called rice paper is not made
from rioe, as its name implies, but from
the snow white pith of a small tree be
longing to the genus Aralia, a genus
represented In the United States by the
common sarsaparllla and the spikenard,
The tree grows in Formosa, and, so far
at Is known, nowhere else. Tho stems
are transported to China, and there the
(tee paper is made, which is used by
native artiste for water color drawings,
or dyed of various colors and made into
artificial (lowers. Mr. lioslo, in his
"Three Years in Western China, "de
eeribea the process of making the paper,
t wss invited to visit a worker in pith
after nightfall. Although somewhat
surprised at the hour named, I accepted
the invitation.
On arriving at the house I was ushered
Into a badly lighted room, where a man
was sitting at a table with his tools In
front of him, These consisted of a
smooth stone, about a foot square, and
a large knife or hatohet with a short
wooden handle. The blade was about a
foot long, two Inches broad, and nearly
half an Inch thick at the back, it was
sharp as a razor.
Placing a piece of cylindrical pith on
the stone, and his left hand on the top,
he rolled the pith backward and forward
for a moment until he got it into the re
quired'positlon. Then, siezlng the knife
with his right hand, ha held the edge of
the blade, after a feint or two, close to
the pith, whioh he kept rolling to the
left with bis left hand until nothing
remained to unroll; for the pith had, by
the application of the knife, been pared
Into a square white sheet of uniform
thickness. All that remained to bo done
was to square the edges.
If the reader will roll up a sheet of
paper, lay it ;on a table, place the left
hand on top, and gently unroll it to the
left, he will have a good idea of how the
feat was accomplished.
It seemed so easy that I determined to
have a trial Posing as a professional
worker, I succeeded In haoking tho pith,
aaa in nearly maiming myself,
A steady hand and a keen eve are re-
r ed for the work, and hence it is that
so ealled rice paper is manufactured

The Joke of One of Hit IMnelpals Be-
tnlttd In a Ftaoe.
In connection with Senator elect Irby
duel in his younger days Congressman
John M. Allen, of Mississippi, tells of nn
amusing affair of honor in whioh lie
acted as second,
There was bad feeling between two
young lawyers in Mississippi, and it was
decided that only blood could wipe out
the enmity which existed. A cnaiiengo
was sent and duly acknowledged. The
hour was appointed and the two men
met in a secluded snot One of tlrem
was B great SUUerer from U VIHUH
dance, the other was oool ana conecteu. j0
As they faced oaoh other the alllictea
man began to tremble from head to foot,
while his pistol described an nro with
varying ur and down strokes. His op
ponent stood firm as a lock, waiting for
I tho signal to lira liefore it came, now
over, ho laid his nlstol on the Ground,
walked Into the woods, and out a lirau
off a tree with a fork in the end of it
Tills he brought back and stuck in the
ground in front of his antagonist men,
turning to tho Becond, he said: "I must
requeBt you to ask your principal to rest
his pistol in that forK. "
"What for?" asked his opponent's
eeoond.
"Well," replied the other, "I have no
objections to running the risk of ono
shot, but l certainly do uocnuo Having
one bullet make a honeycomb of me.
If that man was to shoot while his hand
I is shaking the way it is now, he would
fill me full of holes at his first shot "
This was too much for the seconds,
and by mutual agreement a truce was
patched up, and no shots were ex
changed.
A flemish Icend,
Tlu Flemish people of Belgium and
Holland ore a simple and slow going
oe, but are by no moans without a
sense of humor. They have an imugi

stories! a bantering, boastful old leiiow,

verv readv in his replies, as the follow
inr ntorv of his wisdom illustrates:
On a certain occasion the king of the
Netherlands visited his faithful subjects
of Flanders. On his way through the
country he passed by what he uecirtreii
was the finest farm he had over sconj
and within but a Btep he cams across
the most ' beautiful windmill that had
ever mot his raze.
"Whoso mill is that?" the king nsiteu.
"It is the miller La Querliche's mill,
sire."
"And whoso farm Is that?
"It belongs to tho bailiff, Carefree,
sire."
"Carefree,-eh? Well, lie must be a
happier man than I nm. Let word bo
sent to him atonce tuat i snau give mm
audience to-morrow. In order to put
three questions to himj first how much
the moon weighs; second, now niucu
his king Is woithj and third, what I nm
thinking. If ho answers any ono or
thpRB n uos lions wronir he will be
linneed."
Bailiff Carefree was In despair when
ho heard this summons from the king,
but Li Guerlicho offered to tnke hli
nlnce bofove the kiuE on couditiou that
he, Carefree, should renounce his claim
to the hand of Trinotte, who was be
loved of both.
Carefree accepted the terms, nnd next
day La Gueiliche appeared before tlie
Mnir.
Avell, well, said the monarch
nicely, "and can you tell me how much
the moou woiehs?
"Exactly a hundred weight, said La
Gueiliche.
How do you know that?"
Because it consists of four quarters,
That's a fact, " said tho king. "Now
tall me what you estimate my value at
Twenty-nine silver pieces.
"Whatl Scoundrel, what do you
mean?"
"Ah. sire, our Muster wns sold for 80
pieces, and as a good Chrlsti.-m I should
have to rnlo you a Utile lower.
Uin very well, said the king.
And, now, perhaps, you can tell mo
what I think?"
Piocisely, sire. You think I'm
Bailiff Cuefree,"
"Yes. "
"Well, I am not I'm La Guerlichel"

to Die khediva. Her highness, tho
Princess Einiueh Haneu, the khediva, is
the daughter of tho late Prince 1 llamv
Pasha, and is tho mother of two fine
boys and two pretty girls. She is a fine
looking woman of about 80 years, with
Mlgut brown eyes, expressive enough to
interpret the thoughts she could not put
in words to her English visitor. She has
an imposing figure, which was, ou the
occasion of tho presentation, draped to
advantage iu a well made black gown.
The palace of the khediva is a peculiar
structure, pamted entirely white, sur
rounded by a court prettily decorated
with gioen creepers, and paved with a
peculiar mosaic made of stones in two
colors, all turned on their sides. Tlie
maids in attendance In the inner hall
were all simply dressed alike, in plain

Not a man, was seen about the palace.
whose furnishing u extremely plain and
simple, the only protty room being the
central one, in winch thoro were lovely
mirrors and candelabra and beautifully
inlaid and polished floors. The royal
lady graciously welcomed tho plainly
dressed woman who came before her in
a costume unlike anything ever seen iu
tho presence chamber before, for Miss
Marsden, to quote lier own words, was
limited to choice between "three severely
plain uniforms, one of which was
crushed, the second very creased, and
the third on my back, its freshness all
gone, likewise some of its buttons. " But
the meeting was pleasant Tea was
served in exquisite little cups with no
handles and the plain woman in tho
travel worn gown and heavy boots was
made to forget, by the courtesy of her
royal hostess, that she was not in full

Cftptala JlragC'. Correspondence.
General S. D. Lw, of Mississippi, says
that fow know how brilliant a man
General Braxton Bragg really' was.
"His unfortunato temper made him un
available as an army commander, but
as a strategist, tactician, and wit he
had few equals iu the army. An
instance of tho latter occurred in 1858
at Fort Sumter. Bragg's staff was
doploted to such an extent that he sud
denly found himself post aud battery
commander and quartermaster. There
had been several disputes as to supplies
which had not been definitely passed
upon. Bragg saw his chance, nnd de
termined to force a decision.
As Captain Bragg of the artillery ho
mndo a requisition upon Acting Quarter
master Bragg. This, as quartermaster,
he refused, and sent back an exceed
ingly sharp note. Captain Bragg ro
torted in kind, and Acting Quarter
master Bragg then roferred the whole
matter to Post Commander Braxton
Bragg. In thia capacity ho severely
criticised both officers for tho personal
nature of their remarks, and referred
the whole matter to Washington. Floyd
was Secretary of War, and at first was
furious, but it was pointed out to him
that the correspondent waa officially
correct, and that Bragg could not bo
held accountable for any violation of
army regulations. Ho waa therefore
obliged to decide the point, ignoring
Bragg's appearance in a triple character.
He afterward' habltuallv referred to
7 himself as 'the concentrated inhabi
tant.'"'
Aunt Batsey UicK, n Now England
womiin ho had been left a widow after
a few years of married lifa, "carried on"
her Idle lmsband'M farm with a good deal
of h1 ility, but with hiiclt clo-o eooiiomy
that her saving devioi s grow Cumous in
tho country round about.
Next lo her economy of provisions,
her economy of firewood was perhaps
lier chief cunceru. At ohm time a sister
of her late liu-b.iud. from "dewu coun

leo.inio oonvnice.l that Betsey was eu
deavuring to fimze her out. But per

"I declare," the visitor ventured to
exclaim, "1 should tliiuk you kept it
pretty 00M here, Betseyl
"That 'ere pesky thermometer's to
blame, Susan, " said Betsey. ."I gites
it's got oliukwl up. I oun't get it above
80 to save my lifel '
Then she 1 timed over thestick of wood
in tlie sheet iron stove, hile her guest

The viuitor remained at Aunt Betsey's
for several days, however, in spite of
the oheked up thermometer, spending
muoh of her time in lied, or watching a
ohani e to smuggle a stlok into the store
when her hostess was out of tlie room.
Late one afleruoou she happened to
go out into tli woodched, and found
Aunt BfUev there, with an old shawl
wnippcl nrotipd her" shoulders and a
stick in he.' hand, engaged in violently
stirring something in a large tin oau. A
strong smell of 1 etroleuui filled the air.
"Betsey Uickn,"said the visitor, "what
be you a doiu'f"
"Wal, if you want to know," said
Aunt Betsey, "I thought I'd see if I
oouldn't stir a leetle mite ' water int'
the karoseue, I leckuned it'd go a leetle
fu'ther, to much oomp'ny in the
house as I seem to have!"
Her guest went away early the next
