We belonged just the same. Sow do you 'remember out on the flats with the pistol, when my hair got into your eyes?" Dick caught the, click of hair-pins, and Matsie's Ions; locks tell about his face. "You couldn't see now if you tried ever so. Lete pretend it's only my wig in your eyes tor just a little longer, for 50 or GO years. Fifty's five times less iraportanfthan 10. Can't you see that, dar ling?" She shook her head to increase both the darkness and the understanding. "I see," said Dick, very contentedly. "Oh, it's good to have you back again, Maisic 1" "It's goodcr to be back, bad boy." And tbev argued that point gravely, with interruptious; and they discussed ways and means, also with interruptions; and they took no count of time, till Maisie said, "I haven't any clothes. I haven't eaten any tning for years. I haven't anywhere to live except in the little house, and the care-taker there will be out, and X must go and be a partv." "What's that, dear?" "There was a man once," said Maisie, a hairpin between her teeth, "who was always trving to drag me to a registrar's office to be warned. He told me that one or other of the liarties must always give a notice to the registrar. I shall buy a thick veil and be that party. Isn't it "nice 10 know we've onlv ourselves to think ol?" "I remember that man," said Dick. "I ieel that I ought to he the party." "Never mind. Afterwards you shall beat me. I think it would do me good. Iwa.ts to be beated. Oh, Dick, I've been such a bad, double-bad villain. A villain with a ilelancolia." "By Joe, that reminds me of something I'd completely forgotten. I did a Melan colia beiore I went " "Ah! No! Not that word!" "Becan to see, then. She's up in a corner somewhere, and 1 thought a good deal of her at one time. What do you think'?" The voice was the voice of the man who had told her the tale of his doings, in the park, what time he looked to sick the world before him. "Is it the veiled canvas on the easel?" asked Maisie. "Yes. Well?" She was looking at a formless scarred blur of paint. Somebody had used the palctte tns e with deadly skill. It was a cruel, wicked wrong, and she could not under stand it; hut lor Dick's sake she must make no sign. Her eyes were very dim, and her voice choked with the hard-held tears as she made answer, still gazing on tne wreck: "Oh, Dick, it is good !" Dick heard the sob and took it for tribute. "I thought you'd like it," he said, uniting St her across the room; and she would have given the world to cry, but she came back to his arms instead, to bid him goodby for a little while. "Dick," she said, when the long farewell was ended, "do you imagine when a woman loves a man that she cares lor his work? Ehe loves him for himself seH selt. Now I must fiv, and please mayl sing on the staircase going down?" There was very little thought of song in Maisie's heart when she went out, unless it were the old rhyme, "Lord ha' mercy on ru$, this is none of I!" She wanted to sit down and be quiet very quiet in her half dismantled house. Torpenbow did not ap pear, and the staircases were empty of lie. "That's nice of him," said Maisie, and fled in a cab to astonish the care-taker across the Prk. "Hullo!" s-iid Torpenhow, entering the ftudio after Dick had enjoyed two blissful hours of thought. "I'm back. Are you "Torp, I don't know what to sayl Come here." Dick coughed huskily. " hat's the need for saying anythjng? Get up and tramp."

Well, do you at tend the function to-night? All the men believe the war's a certainty." "Ot course I'll come. I naven't turned my back on the old hie yet." That night there was tumult on the stairs. The correspondents poureil in from theater, dinner and music hall to Torpcnbow's room that they might discuss their plan of cam paign in event of the certaintv of military operations being a certainty. Torpenhow. the Kencu, and the Nilghai had bidden all the men they had worked with to the orgy; and Mr. Beeton, the housekeeper, declared that never in his chequered experience had he seen such a fancy lot of gentlemen. They waked the chambers with shoutings and song; and the elder men were quite as bad as the younger. For the chances were in front of them, and all knew what those meant. When the clamor was at its height, Disk entered with his great happiness upon his lace. The room was heavy with tobacco smoke and the fume of strong drinks, and the men were settled ih unpicturesque atti tudes on chair, sofa, and table. There was a general shout. "1'oor second-hand gladiators!" he said, with pretended scorn. "You only exist to describe who will die on the sands out there. Half of you will be dead this time next year. The Soudan kills specials." "Ave Imperator, te monturi salutant 1" said the Kencu. "Get into a chair and don't moralize. The public wants ui as much as wc want you." "By the wav, what does the dear public say about me.'" "One paper said six weeks ago that it deeply regretted to hear you weren't quite well. The rest have forgotten by this time," said the Nilghai. "Sweet creatures 1 They naturally wfluld. Give me a drink." And" by the instinct of association he began to hum the terrible Battle Hymn of the Republic Man after man caught it up it was a tune they knew well till the windows shook to the clang, the Nilghai's deep voice leading: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the Crapes of rath are stored; He hath loosed the latelul lightning of His ter rible sviirtsord. His trnth is marching on. "How does the next verse go?" said the Kcnen. And they swept ofi again, beating time on the table. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judn'neut seal; Oh, be b if t, my soul, to meet Him! be jubi lant, my feet! Our God is marching on. Then Cassavetti, very proud of his knowl edge In the beauty of the lilies "Hold on," said Torpenhow. "We've nothing to do with that. It belongs to an other man." "No," said Dick to himself under his breath, "the other man belongs." ins END.

A party is being organized at Excelsior Springs to search for the entrance to a large cave, which is located on the land of.T. W. Hyder, in the northwest part of this (Kay) county. The entrance to this cave was cov ered up by a landslide several years ago, and many unsuccessful efforts have been made to discover it. This cave had a re markable history, and many strange stories are told about it. It was owned, before the war, by a large and wealthy slave owner of the name of Findlay, who is described as a morose and eccentric geniusj with no confidants and few friends. Local tradition has it that when Findlay would run short of money he would secretly visit this cave and spend several days, always returning well supplied with gold and silver coin,. and the general supposition warthat he was operating a small mint in opposition to the Govern ment. No One ever saw him enter or leave the cave, except an old and trusted slave whom he took with hinf on one occa sion for the purpose of killing a bear, which he claimed had .atcred the cave during his absence. They set out for the cave in the evening, Findlay leading and his faithful servant following. When they reached the cave it was so uark the negro could not see his master or bear, and, trembling with fear, he turned and made all haste toward home. Findlay was not seep again for several days, and" when he did appear it was to re late a horrible.tale about, being attacked in the cave by the bear, which he claimed was still at large in the subterranean abode. This was no doubt told in order to keep peo ple from visiting the cave, ns Findlay him self continued his visits, always returning with plenty of money. He Kept up these trips for several months, until one bitter cold night in the winter of 185-, when the .old man, not having been seen for some weeks, a search was be gun lor him, and his bodv was found about one mile Irom the entrance to the cave. He had Jrozen to death. A year or two before Findlav began his visits to the cave a die was stolen from the mint at Philadelphia, and it is thought .he bad in some manner secured possession of it, and, with the aid of confederates, was issuing counterfeit coins. The exploring party will spare no trouble to locate the entrance to this cave and dis cover what it contains. There are a number ot other caves in the northwest corner of this county, one or two of which have been explored for a distance ot two or three miles. They are said to be wide and airy, and to contain formations of a remarkable character. THEY KILLED THE BEAR. Two Flacky Boys and an Old Blnnderbnss Brought the Game Kennebec Journal. Game in this vicinity is very plenty, writes L. C. B., from Audover. In fact, for deer and bear it is a veritable sportsmen's paradise. Go outside the village a half mile and you can see deer tracks crossing and re-crossing in all directions. I know ot no better place in Maine for a week's sport ing tour than this. A tramp ol two or three miles is all that is necessary to bring you into the very heart of a splendid game coun try. The man who cannot bag a deer or a bear mnst indeed be a poor hunter. Last fall two boys, aged respectively 13 and 14, started out from the village on "a grand bear hunt" as they termed it They were armed with one cur dog and an old fashioned Hint-lock pistol. The first day they tramped ten hours without teeing any game, and then camped out on the, ground in the woods. In the morning they were up and off again with, un flagging zeal nnd courage. About noou they heard the dog barking violently, ana retracing their steps they forjnd that the canine had treed an immense bear. The boy who held the pistol took deliberate aim and pulled the trigger. A flash in the pan was the only result, and after several ineffectual attempts to discharge the thing they held a council ot war. In the mean time the bearshowed a dispo sition to come down and take a hand in the deliberation?. 3fte boys hastily primed the blunderbuss, ana this time it went off, knocking the young hunter over backward and apparently doing no damage to the bear. Again the boys consulted and alter about half an hour's work they succeeded in reloading the ancient firearm. As chance would have it the next bullet struck the bear exactly in the heart, killing him instantly and bring ing him to the ground. He was a mag nificent specimen, weighing 350 pounds, and his pelt alone brought the captors $15. That is the sort of boys they raise up here in An dover. SHOULD BE THANKFUL.

J A carpenter's right shoulder is almost im variably higher than his left, inconsequence of having to use his right arm all the time in planing and hammering. With every shaving his shoulder rise3 with a jerk, and it finally becomes natural to 'him to hold himself in that way. The right arm of a blacksmith, for the same reason, is almost hypertrophied, while the left arm, from disuse, becomes atro phied. A shoemaker is almost always round shouldered from continually bending over the last between his knees as he sews and hammers.

Then, too, nature has something to do with it. A large mouth, like a prominent nose, is a sign of power. But all men with fcig mouths are not orators. Thank heaven for that!

The evident convenience to traffic depart ments of being able to readily determine the weight ol a freight car's lading, has led to the working out of a new idea in this con nection. An inventor proposes, instead of running cars over a track scale, to ascertain the weight of their contents, to place a sys tem of scale levers beneath the floor of each car. When it is desired to weigh the con tents of a car the f ulcrnms of the scale levers are lifted by four hydraulic jacks, so that the weight or the carbody is carried on the scale levers. The gross weight is then seen on the scale beam placed at the center or the car. When the scale is not in use the weight does not come on the scale levers, so the knife edges do not become worn. What ever may he the practicability of this device, its cost may possibly militate against its general adoption. ., Fill ON THE AMAZON The Foreign Legation at Para En joys American Hospitality on Board tho Seguranca.

We Americans in Para had been talking a great deal about a reception we proposed to give on board the new steamer "Seguranca," of the United States and Brazil Mail Steamship Company, when that ship should arrive in port. Im agine our mortification, then, when it was announced that the "Seguranca" could not stay in port long enough for the reception and so postponed it indefinitely. The post ponement excited a great deal of curiosity. It was the general comment that the American steamer was being pushed by one of the English ships which was following her up the coast, and hoped to reach Para in her company and take cargo away from her and race with her from Para to New York. The English ship was the "Para ense," which has been described as one of the "tramps." Though 21 years old, she was considered to be a fast old tramp; and in fact the race did come off, and the American beat the tramp, in a race of 3,000 miles, though the American made' three stops and was on her first voyage, and per haps did not do her best. wouldn't gite up the fun. Notwithstanding the "postponement," a number of choice spirits of the town, com posed of gentlemen only, were invited aboard in the evening, of which your correspondent was one. We had neither brass bands nor bunting, hut the party, which was made up ot a galaxy of happy and companionable fellowships, required no outside stimulant to add to their enjoyment. The party.was courteously received on board by Captain James It. Beers, who, as an old and fre queut visitor to this port, is well known and universally popular. After an inspection of the beautiful ship, the elegance of her adornments and fittings being especially admired by the English gentlemen of our party, who were mostly connoisseurs in this direction, we were in vited into the luxuriously furnished saloon, where was laid before us a lavish abundance and variety of good things, and a tasteful display in the way of table decoration, that I have seldom seen equalled, and that cer tainly has not been witnessed on this coast FELL IN WITH GOOD COMPANY. It was my cood fortune to be seated at the table with my good friend, Cnermont, the brother of the Governor, for n vis-a-vis. As previously stated, this gentleman was educated at Cornell, and speaks English perfectly. He is evidently a born poli tician, as he can make good speeches on the spur of the moment easier than any Brazilian here, and that is saying a good deal, for all the prominent people are speakers. I supposed from the previous postpone ment, that there was to he merely a little in formal lunch, and was not prepared for the feastof reason and flow of soul that was thrust upon inc. , I was surprised to see my friend Cnermont rise in his place, nnd, with class in hand, begin to sneak in Portuguese. In a moment everything in the crowded dimug saloon, where the lady passengers also sat with us, became hushed, and the closest attention was given to the handsome Brazilian orator. I did not understand a single word he said, though I applauded him as vigorously as the rest, because I took it on faith as good talk, knowlug he was a friend of America. SPEECH OF TI1E CAPTAIN. The little ripple of excitement that fol lowed, rather increased my appetite, and 1 became so deeply immersed in the enjoy ment of a turkey bone that I lailed to ob serve that over on the other side of the saloon Captain Beers was on his feet, seem ingly talking. But Captain Beers' voice on the bridge in a storm and Captain Beers at dinner, in the, presence of a select crowd of ladies and gentlemen around his own ta ble are two different people. I did not hear a word he uttered, and was struggling away at the bone, when my vis-a-vis observed: "Come; that's yon." On glancing tip, X. was surprised to see that Captain Beers had disappeared, nnd, apparently, everybody was looking at me. Somebody in my rejr sctto vo- e observed : ''Get urs Consul, the Cactain cails on yon to respond to Chermoiit's toast." Others alongside added encouragingly: "Chermont paid'a high tribute to the Uni ted States, and you are the representative at this place. Noiv's your chance to distin guish yourself; go in, old boy." HE WOULDN'T WEAK EARS. I merely blushed and bowed, but was too badly rattled to trust myself on my feet: and muttered that I couldn't make a speech! even if I were on the gallows and my life were to be saved by such an effort. I prom ised to write them a speech, and lam now trying to keep my promise. Though I was encored and even bulldozed they tailed to get the new Consut to make an ass ot'him self. I succeeded in preserving the dignity of the position by a discreet silence, and though some criticism was made by a few who perhaps hoped to enjoy a (allure, and my relusal to talk was commented upon as being exceptional, etc.. I was subsequently complimented as having made the best speech of the many tbat-were uttered on that occasion. This unexpected demonstration entirely took away my appetite. Indeed, if there had been the least opportunity, I should have been tempted to run away; but we were out on the river, and as escape was impossi ble I sat it out in silence. A LITTLE FULL FOB UTTERANCE. Not succeeding In getting the new Con sul to make a debut, the leading spirits de termined that somebody should pav the penalty of a speech for the Government, and called upon the former Vice Consul, a well known resident of Para. This gentleman is always present at these affairs, and has had consi'derablepractice in this direction. He was so astonished and overcome, however, by this spontaneous selection as second choice that he "was almost too full for utter ance. However, with a hand resting on each of the two chairs at his sides, he suc ceeded in delivering himself with quite a favorable effect As,a preliminary, he observed that he was no longer in the "diplomatic corps," and didn't think that he should be called upon to do the talking, especially as he was not a politician, but only one of the boys ready to do his part, etc. When he sat down, apparently exhausted by the effort, the boys spontaneously broke the heavy silence that followed by singing the sad refrain to the familiar tune of "We won't go home till morning:" Oh, he was a Jolly good fellow. He was a jolly good fellow, , He wan a jolly good fellow. And Jingo was bis name. Bool Boo! BabI IN THE CAPTAIN'S ROOM. All joined in this chorus, and for a while the cabin of the good ship rang with the merry bass voices of the boys, no doubt to the astonishment of the lady passengers. After a number of toasts had been drunk, and speeches made by almost everybody present, about evervthing' beariiig ever so remotely on the occasion we were celebrat ing, the crowd adjourned to the Captain's room for a smoke. The Captain's cabin, in this ship, is a large and most luxuriously furnished room in the forward part of the deck. Here "the jolly Captain Beers was on deck again, and at home, and right royally, and most courteously did he continue to entertain his guests in his own room. It goes without saying, in this port, that Captain Beers has hosts of good friends in Para, and the many expressions of good will to him come from sincere hearts. It would perhaps be unfair to attempt to describe too minutely the many fuuny and jolly scenes that were en acted on. the deck, of the Segurance that night, on the bosom of the broad Amazon. ALL WERE BOYS AGAIN. Old men, whose hairs were gray, and who at home or in business affairs were severely dignified, became as little children, and toasted indiscriminately with the "boys." who may have been -their clerks. There was only the Southern moon to look down on the pranks of these "old boys," and, by the way, the moon is one of the best'things we'have inPara like the sun, it is very'lose-lo us7 While in the Cap tain's room I discovered that the jolly tar wore on his coat lapel the small buttons of the G. A. It. and Loyal Legion. These em blems pre quite too common in our country, perhaps, but here on the Amazon river, 3,000 miles away from home, T had found a new charm iri" the emblems. The old vet eran sailor we were celebrating was a com-" rade, and under such impulses, as those only can appreciate who have served in a war, I took his hand, and, pointing to the badge on his breast, told the assembled for eigners that they were being entertained by an American nobleman that the Loyal Legion button on his coat proved that his breast had been bared in the delense of his countrv. and that the onlv aristocracv we "had was that which entailed the privilege to our children.; . A TOAST TO THE CAPTAIN. "I propose good health and a happy old age to Captain Beers," said I, "who served to save his country and is now again serving to advance her prosperity as the commander of the finest American ship carrying the American flag io Para." There are bonds ot all sort In this world of ours. Fetters of friendship and ties of flowers, And true lovers' knots, 1 ween; But there was never a Dond, dear friends, like this: We have drunk from the same canteen. I was brought down by the practical ob servation oi the German Consul, iJ'Bnllyl we will squeeze a speech out of the Consul yet." Hut they did not. This sort of thing lasted until the wee, short hours, just be ore the ship sailed, when we re-embarked,on the tug, and, with cheers and.shouts, parted company. On the tug there was a grind tumbling match. Digni fied men lay down oh the deck and kicked and squalled like infants that sadly needed a spanking; hats were thrown about as balls; but everything was taken in good part. THE TOREIGN ELEMENT. I again take the opportunity to say that the ioreign element of the place are, with but few exceptions, clever and courteous geutlemen; but they will have their good times without regard to the consequences; and it is this fact that mitigates against their more general entry into the genuine Brazilian society. Perhaps they do not care for this. The poor fellows who are ban ished here in a most inhospitable climate and are deprived ot all the sweet comforts of home life, and have to pay excessively for the barren necessities of life, which they may be able to extract from a miserable ex istence under the tropics, are to be excused for their occasional indulgences of this sort when genial spirits from God's country visit them here. I do not claim to be a model man not by any means and am not addicted to dissipa tion; but I confess to having experienced when I first came here a most intense incli nation toward strong, drink, such as I had never previously felt at home. Probably it came of the desire to drown one's sense of loneliness and of exile, by the use of stimu lants; but iMs a very dangerous-practice in this climate. - J. C, Kerbey., t; BEST P00D F0S WHITES. Fork and Beans Suit the Lumbermen of the North the Best. Boston Herald. 1 In the logging camps, where the fiercest cold is encountered, and the hardest kind of work done, the popular food is pork and beans. Loggers never seem to" tire of it, for it is eaten.by them almost every day. One reason which they give lor their preference for It is that it "stays by them" longer than any other kind of food. Evidently, there, fore, on account of the palatability and "heartiness" these men choose this simple dish. And yet it has more to recommend it than this. It is very nearly an ideal food for those much, exposed to cold, being one of the richest in heat-producing elements. Compared with lean meat, pork and beans contain about seven times as much carbon orluel. Boast beef is rich in warmth-giving elements, and yet pork and beans are richer by at least one-third. Veal also stands high upon this list ' Man's natural appetite must inevitably prompt him to e'.t only what is best for hiiii and reject that which is hurtful, even al though he is unconscious of the reasons -lor his preferences, as is illustrated in the case of loggers. Unfortunately, however, the appetite is seldom natural; its perversion generally commences in early life. Among the foods which lurnish the most warmth, and are. therefore, the best for winter, are egg, butter, lard, rich soups, beans, roast ueef, pork, veal, poultry, wheat, rye, potatoes and milk. Toward foods of this sort all should lean in winter. Of course.it would be impossible to construct a diet table for this season which would be suitable for all, for some require foods which ate not only good fuel, but which are highly strengthening. As, for instance, beans, roast beef, pork, veal, etc., are rich in both heat and stiengthening elements, and may well be often indulged by those who work hard with their hands. Whereas those of intellectual pursuits would need far less of them, and their diet might properly be selected more for warmth than for Strength. Very Chilly for the Lordlln;.

BOOTS TO BB TRADED FOR CHEESE rCOnUESrOXDENCE OF TOE DISFATCH.1 London, Dec. 16. It is only by slow de grees that the peculiarities of the Britisher are discovered by the newly-arrived Ameri can. At first the geutlemau from Boston, New York or Philadelphia is apt to imagine that because the language is the same there is little if anything foreign about his friend John Bull; but in .a month or two the Amer ican resident of London is forced to confess that John Bull and his ways are really more antithetical to American ideas than those of a Frenchman, a German or a Dutchman. For instance, only a Britisher could toler ate such a paper as The Exchange and Mart, a weekly journal with a large circulation, a comfortable income and devoted principally to a system of exchange- of goods between Britisher and Britisher, male and female both. The paper-is also called a journal for the household, bnt it does seem strange that the second-hand principle should be so thoroughly inculcated in England that peo ple obtain through public advertisements their furniture, their clothes, their domestic utensils, even their most' intimate belong ings with perfect strangers. TWO CHARACTERISTIC NOTICE3. Taking The Exchange and Mart for this week, I notice that the number of its issue is 2,602, and that it is in its sixty-third vol ume, so it can scarcely be regarded in any sense of the word as a new'venture. From its closely-printed columus I will take out a few advertisements at random: Wanted Strong leather bandbae for com- .merclal use; books in exchange, or cash, if cueap. a. a. Dress suit hag wanted, good and cheap. H. In the first advertisement here is a man or a woman who declines to purchase a bag out and out unless it can be obtained for a very small amount of money. On the other hand, he or she is only too "willing to take lots ot trouble and waste plenty of time in obtaining the bag through a barter for books which involves, in order to save the possi bility of swindling, doing business through the office of The Exchange and Mart, and paying a commission, to the proprietors of the paper, a mass of worry, on the whole, dear to the Britisher's soul. SHIRTS 'fob a clock. In the other advertisement, presumably, a man wants a dress suit bag. If he desires such a luxury at all, it is fairly to be 'sup posed that he would pay the extra shilling or two and obtain it outright from a neigh boring store. A little further down the col umn we come across half a dozen adver tisements of second-hand "grandfather's clocks." One reads: Grandfather's clock, oak case, eight-days; good condition; SO shillings cash, or will take half a dozen undershirts. Apply the Rev. , Cleveland, Yorkshire. Will this is probably somehard-up York shire curate, but it seems sad that the good man should have to lorfeit his ancestral timepiece for the sake of warmer under clothing. Still it must be instructive to Americans, particularly Pittsburgers, who pay as much as 5100 apiece for "grand fathers' clocks" to learn, according to an advertisement little lower down, that for 25 shillings, or ?G, a very fine old grand father's clock in- tall oaK case, brass face, elaborately carved and pierced, splendid timist, perfect in every way, can be pur chased; or "an art rug and a pair of black pants would be taken- in exchange." A NEW DRESS FOR BARTER. ' A handsome new dress is offered in ex change '"for a bookcase three feet hish with glass doors, also a hall table and an occa sional chair.'" Of what qualitv the hand some new dress happens to be is'not stated, but it ought to be rather good iu material, etc., ii'it is worth all the lurniture the lady requires for it. A silver English lever wAfch and a 14 carat solid gold-link Albert chain is offered in ex change lor a drawing room suite not a very liberal offer if the drawing room suite is fit for the chamber it is expected to adorn. Next comes an advertisement to the effect that a sponge hath is for sale cheap, have no further use lor it. This is grim, unconscious humor worthy of a comic jour nal, and the next line paragraphed after the nilVeitisement intensities its comical eccen tricity. "Will take a half dozen new or a dozen secondhand sifk pocket-handkerchiefs." There is more sense in an adver tisement which reads: "Child's cot in per fect condition, cost 6; would exchange for a musical instrument," as the chiid may may havt grown too big tor the cot and may have no little brothers or sisters to succeed to it in its possession. But a musical in strument somehow does not seem the most sympathetic exchange that could be made. TIRED OF HIS BOOTS. To continue, however, with a few adver tisements from three columns devoted to "Dress" only. Half a dozen demands ap pear for hoots. One gentleman, who signs "Anny Officer," says: "I have top hunting boots, "small eights, very 'good, will take a stilton cheese or a dozen bottles of sherry in exchange." He evidently wants to have a good time at the expense of His boots. Now look at the next advertisement and let the reader rest assured that I am making no exaggeration, but taking this word for word from paper of the date I have mentioned: Wauted new boots for family of sevsc, good exchange given or arrangements can be made tor instruction in bicycling and French. By the side of the above comes this one: Wanted two or three party frocks for a rnrl I of 15, immediately, Mrs. Doctor M. Now what can be more peculiarly British than such announcements. Here is a girl of only 15, whosejiarents evidently desire to make a splurge. She is to go to parties and two or three frocks are to be provided for these parties, all second-hand. Can aoy thing be more ridiculously economical. A STORT OF- A DRESS BALL. A little lower down in the column the following advertisement speaks for itself: Faxcy Dress Specialty A showy yellow satin, short skirt,- low body, made for gentle man's wear; handsome ballet ckirt, deep lace, elaborately trimmed, open work stockings, 12 hutton Lid gloves, size 7: high-heeled patent leather boots, lacing extra high, fit tall man, waist 21 inches, with or without black satin cortetS4 The whole bargain for 5.5; or will take cape ulster in exchange. Aadress K. Clapham, London. This is too evidently a case of a young gentleman who has almost ruined himself to appear at a fancy ball and now finds that he lacks the means to buy a thick overcoat for the very cold weather now prevalent in England. His indifference as to whether the black satin cornets are taken or not is explained by the fact that the size of his waist is only 24 inches, and so he will proba bly have no difficulty in inducing his mother or his maiden aunt to purchase or accept the useful garment at his hands. In another advertisement a tale of woe, and feminine woe at that, is too plainly re vealed: Heal sealskin Jacket, newest style, Medici collar, puffed sleeve; lit tall, slight azure; just cost 12 (00). Will take 7 or typewriter" a out fit In exchange. , A PLOT FOB A NOVEL. This suggests almost sufficient for a dime novel romance. The daughter of the wealthy and haughty merchant buys herself a beau tiful sealskin jacket, wears it twice, father fails, cuts his shroat, daughter has to sell all her expensive belongings one by one, finally parts with the much prized sealskin, and goes out to earn her living in a useful if humble capacity as a typewriter rMonths roll on, the rich young man who iormerly danced with her-in her ancestral halls ac cidentally discovers her pounding away at I her machine for -miserable pittance, im mediately falls in love, marries her and re places lo'st sealskin jacket, price 12, for long sealskin cloak, price 60. No charge is made to novel writers for-this sugges tion. Tam ill," plaintively exclaims a lady advertiser in her announcement of tbree lines. "Will anybody take my handsome, quite new, dark grey velvet bonnet from me. It cost me 35 shillings. I will sell it for 12 shillings, or I will take two quarts of cod liver oil, a packet of mustard plasters and 100 quinine pills in exchange." Poor thing! "Anything useful to the value of 1 will be gratefully accepted by a re formed young man who wishes to part with his dress coat and vest, plain cloth, new. Would snit a person of 5 feet 8 inches with chest of 37 inches. Do not care about offers or jewelry, billiard balls,, or cigars." Al most a little sermon in this. A BICXLIST IN TROUBLE. Another case ot a young man who has al lowed the cold weather to overtake him penniless. "I have a 54-inch bicvele," he cries; "balls in both Wheels. In exchange I must have a warm overcoat, chest 44 inches." He is a big fellow anyhow, but evidently bicycling has been an expensive luxury to him, for the very next advertise ment under the same initial and address in timates that he is willing to part with a new dress suit, rolled satin collar, lor 3, or will take two flannel shirts and two pairs of tweed trouseis in exchange. But here is a most unique announce ment: ., I have a complete set, dozen of each, of la dies' underclothing, best make, carefully Bn ished, prettily trimmed, which 1 will cive to any lady in exchange for a month's board and longing in London; a comfortable bed most requisite, and a meat breakfast expected. And so I could go on quoting a dozen and one instances from the paper I have in front of me. At an evening" party, given by a worthy and respectable inhabitant of one of the unfashionable suburbs, the stranger would be struck dumb with .amazement at the magnificence and costliness of some of the dresses' worn by the wives and daughters of men earning but the small wages paid to English employes in merchant and Govern ment offices, until it was whispered to him that the gowns had been obtained through exchange from the lady's maid of some wealthy or noble lady. But the English man or woman is never happier than when obtaining something in exchange lor some thing else instead of paying for it. MacLeod. A GAMBLEE'S STTPEESTITI05. Smokes Good Cigars When Losing and Foor Ones "When Winning. Philadelphia Inquirer. There is a well known sport, whose fare is a standing portrait in the gallery of Chest nut street habitues, whose is peculiarly heralded among his brethren of chance by the brands of cigars he smokes. If he wins heavily on the track all his friends know it by the terrific smell ot the vile tobacco in his smokers. If he is a loser they are aware of it by the delicate perfume of the curling smoke from the wreaths of a fragraut Havana. What induces the follower of the goddess chance to thus contrarily denote his financial condition never could be learned until a week ago, when the quality of his cigar was so execrable as to call forth a protest from his comrades, and then be said: "It's royonly superstition, boys. If I win and should smoke a good cigar luck 'd go back on me so bard the next day I'd be in the poor bouse in a week. But if I am a loser never very heavy, understand, and light two or three Conchas, d'ye see? I'll call the turn on bad luck. When I'm play ing in great form then's when I draw on cigars made from cabbages. It's my ex perience that bad cigars and good luck ate friends and Havanas travel in the wake of the losing sport." One Vote Elected Morton. It is 51 years since one vote decided that Marcus Morton, and not Edward Everett, should be Governor of .Massachusetts, says the Boston Herald. Judge Morton had been a candidate for office 13 successive years when he was chosen by this meager majority. The State cist just a trifle 'over 100,000 votes at that election. Two years later Judge Morton was elected Governor by one majority a ssoond time. This one ma jority was, however, then the Legislature, the people having made no choice. Thete occurrences were very remarkable. They are called to mind by the one-vote majority just given in the Tenth Aldermanic district of Boston. The Way He Got It. Life. "How very stylish you are.Mr. Softlelgh. You hold your elbow very high." "Ya-as. I got it from the Prince of Wales." "Did you meet him abroad?" "No; but Cholly Davis saw him meet a friend on the street one day." A BIG HOLE IK THE GE0TOD. Wonderful Mine Proposed as a Feature of tho World's Fair. Denver Republican. 1 There is a well-developed movement on foot here to make what will he the most original and unique attraction at the Worlds' Fair the great mine a successful undertaking from a monetary and advertis ing point ol view. A company has been formed, to be known as the American Under ground Mining Exhibit Company, with $1,000,000 capital. It is proposed to raise half the sum in tois State, as a large part of the monster mine will be given to working plans of its different mines. The accompa nying cut will give a clear idea of what is in tended to be done. A shaft 50 feet by 12 in the clear is to be sunk a depth of at least 500 leet. The shaft will be mounted with an iron structure in which the various hoist ing appliances will be placed. Entry rooms to elevators and cages will also be con structed. The shaft will be divided into eight compartments, six for the elevators, one for the air and water col umns, and one for "cranks" who mav desire to descend by a ladder. The Mine at the Depth of 500 Feet. At the bottom of the shaft an enormous pump will be constructed, and at the sideot the shaft a pump room, A corridor in the form or an elliptic around the shaft 700 feet in length will be constructed, fhe floor to be of marble taken fromtlie well-known quar ries of the country, lined with plate glass nnd artistically decorated. On the inner face of the corridor will be placed a mu seum, containing specimens of ore from everymine in the Union. Columns of Colo rado marble and Vermont granite, with sandstone and qu.irtzltes, will be inter spersed. Outside of this elliptical corridor will be the line of drifts reached by adits. From the outer circle ofdrilts different ex cavations will be made, so as to form exact representations of the famous mines. The carbonate silver ore of Leadville will be in one place, the ore of Aspen in another, and so on. Pennsylvania's coal miner, Wis consin's Iron ores and Montana's copper ores will be included, and, In fact, all the prom inent mines of the United States will be represented. It b also proposed to have the Various appliances in use in this country seen in actual operation. Electric drills and steam drills can be seen in operation and comfpared, and the force of the different powders tested. " J ' ' 6 V J 13 I TIE SPIRIT WORLD. A Six-Column Beport From "William Ellery Cbanning's Ghost. KEMAEKABLK FOR ITS OMISSIONS. Soma Things Ttat tlight he of Interest From tbe Land of Spoofcs. AN ANALYSIS BY BESSI? BRABBLE WHITTEK FOB THX DIsrATCO. Some very wild things are published in the interest of Spiritualism, but the wild est, extremest and absurdest lately heard of are found in the Progressive Thinker. This journal claims to have established the fact that spiritualists are the most moral people in the world, and now it proposes to supple ment that statement by the further one that "they are tbe most liberal people on all of God's green earth." This fact is to be proved, as it'say. by the tremendous cir culation ot the Thinker in the near future. This paper is to become the "Crowning Triumph" (in big, big letters) at 1J cents a week. Cheapenongh when it is considered that for that small sum the subscriber will be favored with long weekly contributions containing the "spiritual ex periences" of such men as William Ellery Cbanuing, Kobert Dale Owen, Andrew Jackson Davi?, Bonaparte the Great, Judge Edmonds, Catharine Fox, Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, Bed Jacket, Sitting Bull, and other eminent men who have passed into the "great beyond I" It may be that some ot these mentioned have noVyet "gone over," but most of them have got 19 the other end of the rainbow, and from what is claimed as to their belief in spirits, and to their prominence in life at this end, it is quite likely they will be "called" to apnear upon tlie Progressive Thinker's rostrum, and relate as much of their experiences in the spirit land as will benefit those still abiding in the physical frame and in the darkness of unbelief. MANY CALLED, FEW CHOSEN. The remarks of William Ellery Chan ning are neither very profoundly impress ing nor convincing. But this may only seem so to the few outsiders, whose minds are fettered by bonds of the physical nature As judged by Mr. Cbanning's spiritual ut terances, it would appear that Spiritualism, like Christianity, "calls" the many, but only few are chosen. Mr. Channing says, through his medium, of course: "There are very few minds sufficiently aware of spirit lite in the earthly existence to break the fetters of the senses, to be free in mind, free in spirit, while animating the physical bodv." But why only the "very few?" But why, as our churches teach, should the great ma jority of this world's inhabitants go to everlasting destruction? Nobody knows, except one sect that says it is for the glory of God. How eomes Mr. Channing, down from the spirit world in Chicago, and tells us there are only very few who can break the fetters ot the senses so as to become aware of spirit life. This would seem to support the conclusion of many that people have got to go out 01 their senses in some degree to take in the truths of spiritualism. Spirits are ever with us, and around the dwellers of tbe eartb, say Spiritualists. Augels are ever around us," say our ortho dox teachers. Why then does the fact re main that only the few are drawn iu either ballot for ther prizes and highest gilts? Mr. Channing put the blame unon the teachings of the theologians of the past, but he does not say why the countless good spirits, who people the unseen world, do not, by rap pings and tumbling tables, and writing upon tied-up slates, and reading scaled let ter, and materializing in earthly forms, and showing themselves through trances, and all the ways they have of making them selves known .in this world of woe, block the game. TIIET MIGHT CONVERT PEOPLE. Surely with the superinrknowledge gained by transition' to the spirit world, and with the power to come back and commnnicate, they conid easily demolish the theologians of the past and nresent as well. If a spirit came directly down from the heavens to St. Paul, why not to everybody, to convince him personally of 'the error of his ways? When William Ellery Channing has dem onstrated that be can come as a spirit to this world, his old , Unitarian parishioners and temperance friends will doubtless think it rather hard that he does not come to them and convert them as easily as the "voice" or "vision" moved upon the soul of the man who was breathing out threatenings against the heathen, and yef, by that "voice" was jn duced to.proceed unto tbe Gentiles to open their eyes and turn them Irom darkness to light. If spirits can come and do such work, the world might soon he changed from wickedness to righteousness. When Brother Channing reached the world beyond the "benutilul river," as he says, he "found all his loved ones there waiting for him, as though they were aware he was coming, and were in attendance during the weeks and years of suffering, ministering, as it knowing every step and change, so that when one feels exultant in the change there is the sympathizing spir itual friend, the companion, the father, the mother, all with whom one is allied beside the perception of tbe spirit itself." His remarks grow hazy at times, and beyond the reach of mortal view, which rather detracts from their value. When Mr. Channing preached from his earthlypulpit he was considered a most eloquent man. His style is said to have been clear, forcible and elegant. But his late spiritual oration could hardly he so described. Indeed it might be said to be considerably muddled. Such a speech, with even its spiritual essence added, would never by its clearness, force or eloquence draw any such audiences as were entertained by Henry Ward Beecher, or fill a house such a's Ingersoll does. SHADY OJT niS COMPANIONS. Mr. Channing, sad to say, declines to name those with whom he most frequently mingles ia the spirit life chiefly for the reason, as he remarked, that their names have been cbnsldred of too much value in the past. This will not seem to be a very satisfactory reason to those who would like to know whether he sauntered around the golden streets with the spirits ot Shake spear and Wordsworth, whom he so much admired and loved when on earth. It would be pleasant to know whether he bobnoboed with CoIeridgeandtalkedoverthe"Ancient Mariner" and Cristabel; pleasant to know if in their spirit forms he and Lloyd Gar rison, Gerritt Smith, John Brown and other rampaging abolitionists run around at nights discussing and devising raids upon the earth to root out the , slavery that still exists therein. It would be interesting to know if he dis cussed points in theology and transcenden talism with Emerson and Theodore Parker and Margaret Fuller. It would be a real pleasure to know if he' held frequent dis courses upon philosopy with Socrates, Plato, Kant and Schopenhauer, John Stuart Mill ami all that clique, or discussed theology with Cotton Mather and Jonathan E iwards, and doubly a delight to have a little of their heavenlv talk. It would be pleasant to know whether he turned tbe cold shoulder upon.Napoleonasthey passed by, whom, before Channing left the form he looked upon as a despicable military despot, given only to his own glory and against whom he wrote so eloquently. It would interest many to know if he and Vol taire and Tom Paine and Jefferson and Franklin had reasoned together, or If he had attended a class meeting where the ex periences of John Calvin, Martin Luther and John Wesley were related. "WOTJLD BE GENTUTE NETVS. Then who would not like to hear how Elizabeth of England was carrying on: how Isabella of Spain now regarded tbe establish ment of the Inquisition and the expulsion of the Moors; how Catharine de Medici, who wattes ponsible for the massacre of St. Bartholomew, was looked upon in the spirit land I Who wonld not love to know what Letitia Lsndon nnd Mrs. Hemans and Elizabeth Barrett Browning and the Brontes were about? News of them all would be' vastly more entertaining than the twaddle Mr. Channing did utter in -his spiritual orationj Hi. reason for not mentioning any of the persons he associated with "over there" that they were too much regarded down here in short, overrated, is a very queer one. Does he mean that "we have thought too much of our heroes, lavished too much Clory upon Washington, Lincoln and Grant? Does he mean -that Shakespeare and Bacon and Newton have been unworthy to their fame? But, as if Mr. Channing had suddenly remembered that such reason would fail to satisfy his hearers, or the world, he told them finally, it was impossi ble for them to have a knowledge of the daily life of the spirits, because, ha adds, "people criticise us." Well, for gracious ,sake! who would have thought that the spirits would care for the criticism of the earthly worms below? Mr. Channing was not worried much by criticism when in his earthly form; why should it make him so sensitive "over there," where he is safe beyond the sorrows and tbe sighings, where the shafts of slander are pointless, and re vilings, however rancorous, could give no sting. It seems especially strange for Mr. Chanuing to refuse to tell about the doings of our heroes in the spirit, in view of the fact that, famous as he. was on earth, he was almost a pigmy when, upon entering the spiritual existence, he was measured by the height of others. So he says himself. DELIGHTFULLY UNINTERESTING. Altogether this whole revelation of over six columns by Channing through a med ium is intensely uninteresting and wholly deficient in what people most want to know about the "great beyond." The world will be none the better or wiser from tbe fact of his coming down in the spirit for half a day in Chicago. It he wanted to hold on to his e.tfthlv lturels, he should have stayed at home above the eternal vaults and played his harp and sung Hosannas with Jenny Lind and Malibran and Charles Wesley. In place of such dis course he would have been better employed learning spiritual truths from those whose minds were to him a light in his earthly career. Now he says they are his teachers, and they recognize him as a brother. "I turn to them asguides for my strength; they hold out their hands to me as an equal." This is what he S3id in his speech but he will not tell who these are. Perhaps it may be a matter that some will care to know from Mr. Channing, "that what may be the next great struggle in na tions, or commerce, or society does not pos sess him so much as it docs some of the spirits he meets, but that which does inter est and prevade him is the advancing TIDE OF SPIEITUAL LIFE, and that wherever human lives are placed, under whatever different conditions, this knowledge is most valuable." This may be so; bnt the address that Mr. Channing gave during bis recent descent in Chicago will do little, it is to be feared, to advance it. We shall await tbe next spirit upon the rostrum of the "Crowning Triumph" with impatience and hope it will be some plain, sensible spirit, who wilt talk in good, sound English and give some reliable informa tion. While waiting, by the way,. we should not perhaps omit to say that anyone according to tbe editor who does not subscribe 1)5 cents a week for the Thinker will rank as a "small potato" in the spirit land. With this shocking state in view, it would plainly be saler to subscribe. It would be a stubborn and perverse generation indeed who would turn a deaf ear to such inducements. Bessie Bbamble.
