• : , Iter,innlng the end
I was spending,• some days, not
many years ago; in a beautiful little
country' village, and in a family that
had more than common attract4ons
to one !who loves domestic life as
well as myself. The little circle had in
it more '9f real interest than I have
often seen developed in the same
number: : of persons.
The father of - the family—almost
too young to feel that he was enti
tled to Ithat honorable appellation—
was a tine, frank-hearted. young me
chanic. :with a\ wide world of life
bounding in his veins; an energy
that when fully. aroused, drove eve
rything violently before him ; and a
wanfith of disposition that won him
more•friendship titan it had then v-,
en him of the goods of this world.
lits wife, to whom he had been
married for four years, was singularly
beautiful. They had ,two children—
the one,`a laughing, brown-eyed and
broWn-haired little fairy of three
years; her romantic name was Blos
som. The secoml :was a crowing,
blue-eYtkl, plump little
beauty of less than a year, promising
to have all the charms of the elder at .
her age.
I was sitting one Afternoon in a gni
et little roitm, with my feet on two
chairs, reading a pleasant little book,
in a state between -asleep and. awake
—my host:away at his shop. a nun- .
dred yards oat, and my pretty little
hostess elm)a!red in her household du -
tics—when I was thrown out of my
indolence' by a :scream that brought
me to 14 feet like an 'electric Shock.
It was a 'woman's voice, and had in
it an excess of av - ony that-cannot he
ludic:ll'6i by words; so loud, that it

a swimmer I at once struck out into

the English,:and they are in4ariably
b4tter than' the cheap Freneh and

For some time after the sueeessful
es,ablishinent of American factories,
th:i popular prejudice in favor of fbr
elem, articles was so great that

prevails less endless from year to

EGARDLESe OF DENUNCIATION FROM ANY QUARTER .
b.—
THE IMBIEY
A story which appears to be well
anthenticated, . connected with the
opening of the war on the whisky
ring IT, Secretary Bristow, throws
light on - Some of the earlier incidents
of the movement which have not-be
fare reached the public, and we doubt
not will prove very interesting read
ing now. The statement which fol
lows is given upon very high author
ity as coming from the inner 'circle
of the National Administration. ,
' jSome time ago; before the " light
ntng struck" the ring, Commissioner
Douglass was summoned to the pres
ence of Secretary Briitow, who want
edc to know why certain things had
net been done. In fact,,he insinuated
that the Commissioner was derelict
iit i f i tity in '
not enforcing-the law with
st cient vigor. Whit followed will
4 only reveal how an Internal Rev
enue Commissioner lost his Official
head, but also ' show the attitude of
President Grant touching the prose
cution of the war against the ring.
Being so: sparply challenged, Mr.
Commissioner Douglais proceeded to
say, as the story goes,rthat one rea
so: 1 why so much .laxity,prevalled in
th enforcement of the law was the
la ge number of the President's per-
Sonal friends who held office in ' St.
Louis. - While these. remained in po
sit on it was impossible to enforce
tli law. Bristow treasured up these
,tv rds ; in fact, they :made a very
de .p impression upon. him. Availing
himself of an early opportunity, he
waited upon' , the PreSident and re
peated the alleg ations Made by Com'.
[niisioner Dougass. The President
reported to have exhibited . consid- ,
ible annoyance at these statements,
ft immediately dispatched a' Mes
)(Ter to summon the Commissioner
t-,
the executive otlice.l When Doug
.
• arrived the President demanded
him a more explicit statement. of
reasons:of his failure to have • the
s obeyed. The Commissioner
in referred to the personal friends
flit! President who held official
itions in St. Louis, who lie claim
''
i '
ere obstructing the due exeeu- !
;of the revenue laws. The Pies
t did not relish this direct
list, and proceeded Ito unburden
mind in a very emphatic-way. So
as his personal friends were con-
ned,lhe did not haver any whom he
ended to uphold if they engaged
the business of defrauding the
Vermont. Re kfieve hoW- to dis
je of them, and it was, to say the
st of it, a piece of i,ritpertinence
the part of the Conimissioner, to
n suppose for a moment that he
$ ('resident) would sustain any of.
al Who resorted to corrupt prac
is. lie then concluded by inform
-IDnuglass that, as he had to make
4.Tinning, lie was ready at once - to
dive the resigimtion of the •Cora
,sionmof Internal Revenue. the
uner of the President-was - so em
4ie that no other course was left
,n to DouglaSs but to hand in the
le document which i retired him
ca official life. .
lentlemeii who have means of
'wing the feelings of the President
cluing the whisky frauds assert
lie is in cordial sympathy with
sto* 7 and, indeed, that he goes
1
p further than the Senator in
ts 'to break up and utterly de
y the. ring. He is , reported to

camp-beds, shutoff from parlors and

the inmates of a house dispose them
selves whenever a tendencY -for sleep

The ancient Egyptians .had bed

" The Egyptian " bedstetid,r says ` a

in the shape of' the canopy and the
Means by which it was. decked with
hangings, and although it sometimes
resembles a four-poster, was general

manifested a considerable amount of
taste. One end Was raised and re

were sometimes Straight,,!sometimes
curved, and the feet - are often fash

to have been different fiom those

HOW KID GLOVES ABE MADE.
In certain parts of Europe the
rearing of kids for the sale of their
skins is an important busineaas, those
which command the highest prices,
and are regarded as 'superior to all
others, being the French; called in
the market peauxr nationalqx. By
some the fine quality of thope skins
is.attributed to peculiar virtue in the
wild vines upon which the young
ones feed in the pasturage which
they frequent; this, however, being
a popular error, as their value is sim
ply the result of the care with which
the little animals are reared during
their life of four or five weeks. They.
arc not allowed to roam at large,-,as
such a license would imperil the
evenness of their skins, which would
beconie scratched by rubbing against
stones, or passing- 'through hedges.'
They, are, besides,' deprived of all
food except milk, as eating grass
would tend to make their skins
coarse. Consequently they arc kept
under a wicker coop, from which at
regular hours, they are led suckle
the another, and thiS continues until
thev are killed, at the end of four or
five weeks. The younger they are
killed the thinner the skin, but, ca,f
coarse, the smaller they are the leSs
valuable, too,: especially when. they
are only large enough to allow of
single. buttoned glo*es,. while the. de
mand*is all for -two, three and four
'buttoned gloves. ;By' rearing the
kids in the manner, just described,
larger skins are obtained, which are
as fine and delicate as those of
_ft:lmager ones .of other • countries
where they roam at liberty. 'A's
France produces the best skins, so'
Paris exeels all places in Fmaice
where gloves are manufactnred, and
an adept in the trade can select .a
Paris-made ;glove from among hun
dreds made elsewhere.
Tit E Philadelphia_n/egraiArelates
thefollowing touching story: "A mong
the passengers on board the steam
ship .Indiana, which sailed for'Liver
pool on Thursday, the Bth inst., were
a bridg and groom whom a New York
friend , or the parties desired to.honor
at the very moment of their departure
by the presentation: of a handsome
floral remembrance. Telegraphing to
'a Philadelphia friend, he arranged
for the consummation' of his idea.
The friend received the offering,
which wasin the shape of a handsome
basket of flowers, blit supposing that
the 'vessel did not sail until 11 o'clock
of that day, he delayed going' to the
wharf until.nearly that hour, when
he was horrified to leirn that the
Indiana had,left at 10 o'clock. Feel-•
ing that he was bound in honor to
fulfill hisicommissioh, he hastened to
Broad and Prime, Where he engaged
a - special troin to take him to Noy
Castle. Through Chester lie passed
at s speed that caused observers to
stake with wonder, and at Wanting
ton ho was ahead of the steam-ship.
At New Castle he jumped into a boat
and was rowed to the approaching
vessel. bid no-one thereon took no
tice of his signals, the. vessel did not
stop, and he could only, sit down in
despair,and groan at his failure."
A FOOT LAMP.
(inc. of the most interesting things
in the Holy land is the fact that
one meets everywhere in daily life,
the things that illustrate the word
of the Lord: The streets of Jerusa
letn are very narrow, and .no one is
,allimed to go out at night without a'
light. Throw -open', your lattice in
the, evening and loOk out, yoU will .

the clatter of : sandals, as the late

approaches, you. will'see that he has
a little lamp fastened to his foot, to
make his step a safe one. In au in
