Baiisfactiou that i placed there
for the v orlu's admiration. You get
into one of tho-H? rrerit buildiors and
po to locking about you, and every
lew minutes' wait you enmeto some
p-rest engine whir-bseenw an intriate
in make, and which moves wiihsmh
Pinnothnes!! and precision that you
wal'.'h "l and wornler if it in not re
uliv alive and cuducd wita rcasuu
ns'wtll as nuiioo, and you uncon
sciously let an tour slip by, and so
on until that six o'clock has strock;
tht you are .awfully tired and hun
jrry, and that you have passed the
entire day and hare seen but very
little.
I started from Lome with the in
tention of "doing" thoroughly the
machinery hall, the leather and stove
department and the gla? blowing
house, to say nothing of a flying vit.it
to the agricultural tall, wbcre l ceara
there had been some new arrivals,
and I also wished to 6nd the "dairy,"
and look at the pianos which were to
lie played in competition. I will tell
you just bow much I swthatl look
ed at.
The French department in the ma
chinery hall Wing nearest the door
by which I entered, I naturally gave
that the benefit of precedence.
The first thing tiat I notice after
the counter where they6c!l worthless
rmcrack jewelry was passed is a glass
J - e. 1 J
engraver. 1 nave ouen wonuereu
ho that is done, and after having
seen it consider it very easy; I know
that I could do it myself if I tried.
The man In charge, Mr. , was
busily at work engraving monograms
on a dozen glasses for some one there,
aud tbe grating of the wheel against
the glass made a sound particularly
unpleasant to me, yet it is interesting
to fee the swift, eure manner in which
the letters are left on tbe glass. There
are a number of very baodaoire
pieces of work in a case, but I think
that a display of ibe same sort made
by an American firm, Jaa. M. Ryan
V Co., were far superior in fineness
and delicacy. On some of these
trla.-.e you would think that the
Frost King had been playing tricks
iustcad of human hands.
I notice here an improved treadle
on sewing machines. I snppnse they
are an improvement on the heavy,
clumpy things tbev use over In tbeir
ow n country, auu wnicu rue as nara
as the old fashioned threshers, but to
those who have (Jrover & Daker, or
light running Domestics they would
he hardly necessary. However I
did not trv them.
There is a wood working machine
from Taris that show? conclusively
at a elanco that in machinery we
stand far in advance of the world.
Had the owner, I Abbey, seen a
few of our own scroll saws and turn
ing lathes he would have set about
fixing his own after their models, but
I foreot, a Frenchman never does
and never can be brought tojihink that
anything on eartu that Ixaongs to
an v one else is quite as good as bis
own, except bis wife. Consequently
this gentleman certainly rejoices that
his machine is the best, in the world,
and if the jury of awards do not
give him the Erst prize he will never
cease railing at them for their injus
tice. There is a very elegant structure
made of copper and brass in tbe form
of a well a cross between a tomb
and a temple tbe roof supported by
eight columns anatboee placed on a
sort of pedestal, of which the hides
arc arranged inpannelsof brass set
in copper. It is highly polished and
very handsome. A couple of raised
steps will display copper implements
of all kinds. It is shown by Sere
tan, of Paris. This makes a brilliant
appearance, and theroof is particular
ly handsome.
Hcside this is a candy factory in
full operation, and as I am an ardent
and faithful lover of that commodity ,I
made an extended pause to see bow
it was done. On a gas stove in the
middle of their stand the clear suar
and water was bailing in a copper
vessel. Tbe chief candy maker was
dressed in a white cap and apron,
and had rubber gauntlets on his
wrists and a very respectable pair of
glasses across bis scholarly nose.
He looked more as though making
profound experiments in chemistry
than simple candies. Every few
minutes be would stick his finger in
tbe boiling mass and then place that
in cold water to see if it was done
enough. ' I would rather be excused
that part of tbe process. However
tbey say here that eels get used to
tinning, and I suppose he has got so
used to being burned that it is bis
normal condition and be rather en
joys it. Once '.he syrup is boiled to
the proper condition, it is poured in a
coper trough, where it cools rapidly.
I forgot to mention that this mass had
been previously colored by same lem
on rind grated and compressed.
When cool enough it is worked much
tike a mass of dough. From-there
it is placed in presses, where it is
stamped, and comes out in the shape
of fishes, letters of tbe alphabet,
roses, and in short every shape im
aginable. They make peppermint
drops and all such kinds of candy
there, but none of tbe finer varieties;
why I do not know. I have beard
many horrible stories as to the dirti
ness of candy and never believed
them because I liked it, and now I
don't believe tbem more than ever.
I sauntered over to Canada, where
some pretty boats caught my atten
tion. I passed some iron ore made
ur iato a high column, and stopped
t' look at a new patent boat disen
gaging apparatus, hy Hill and Clark.
1 looked at aud tried and manouvered
with tbe mi nature model boat and
apparatus until I convinced myself
that this covers the whole ground of
complaints as to the inefficiency of
other patent lor this purpose. 1 bere
can be no danger with this, of the
boats upsetting while being lowered
or of getting foul when down. Hav
ing tried with tbe model I wanted to
try with the real thing, aud as it was
noon and no one to look, I commenc
ed and succeeded so admirably that
I pinched my fingers twice inside of
two minute?, and at last let tbe
whole thing fall on my toes. I came
away and lc.'t the old thing on the
floor, and just hope that tbe man who
invented it may get upset in the riv
er the first time be tries to use it,
only I know be can't.
Close to this table is one on wbicb
is displayed a rivet, hole and leak
(topper. It is made to clcae a leak
io one minute. I could not get a
circular to describe it, and there
was no person at the stand, being
dinner time, but tbe moment you see!
it you recognize its adaptability and
excellence. It can be made to fit any
bole. The felt in this was cot round
and a rivet or clamps passe through
to the outside of the ship, where tbe

I dont believe that a drop of water; ever tbeir prices were not unreasona
eould enter. Thee last two in veil- We.
tions are tngiisn, u i.m u
rrt of steamshin propeller invented
by Mrs. Henrietta an Wttin,M
Twickenham, England. This pro
peller has been proved by tbe Lord
yf .Admiralty to be superior in all
itoiuta to any other now n use there.
The lady claims that ber invention is
better because it baa more power for
going ahead r.nd has less danger of
breaking in shallow water,
ctiaiinar water inn nu
full backing power, and on account
of the tranquility of action, as well
as economy id the use ol loeL 1 bere
in with this an increase in swiftness
aud absence of that vibration which
makes sea going on steamers so un
pleasant, added to more complete
control over the action of the ship. I
give this a big "puff because it is the
work of a woman.
Near that is one of those horrible
diving machine? that look so sinister
that it makes one shiver to see, and
around it are placed sponges and co
rals and morsels of wreck, giving
still greater reality to the scene.
Close to that is the novel exhibit
of the Knickerbocker Ice Co., of this
city. There are ice boats, ice plows,
sawa, knives, axes, clamps and a mul
titude of other implements that I do
not know the name of. There are a
number of little wagons about a foot
long, jut as conning as can be, and
a model i.e house. There i also a
schooner lying at a wharf, and these
little wagons are drawn op in line
and discharging blocks of ice (glass)
which men are lowering in the hold
of the echoouer with a derrick. There
are further on several ice making ma-
i - M-l. I- I k - ft
chines. ben you can make ice what
is the use of goiugtoso much trouble
to get it out of tbe riversr
One thing I most positively object
to in the entre exhibition, as well as
outside, too, and that is the horrible,
excrutiating, nerve punishing soda
sizzle fountains. You go along one
of the aisles quietly, when all at once
you bear a hissing as if yon bad
awakened a nest with two or three
million, rattlesnakes in it, and after
the first start of fear you get as far
away from it as you can, and then
just as you have forgotten it tor ine
minute, the horrible biasing commen
ces to make itself audible in anotber
direction. But then what is tbe use
to complain Folks who like to make
tcrrestial balloons of their strmacbs
may like tbe sizzle, but I don't like
gas so well.
Glass blowers do many more pietty
kinds of work than I thought possi
ble, as I found out passing by a stand
in machinery hall. All sorts of cun
ning little articles for play things, as
well as others of utility. Among
them was a full rigged ship, blown in
glass. On down this s;de a little
further you reach the kind of wing
to this building, where the cataract
pours in its mighty and stupendous
beauty and sublimity from a lot of
little pipes each with a stream of full
quarter of an inch io diameter. A
number of seats are arranged to al
low visitors to sit and admire this
borne made Niagara. What need to
climb the heights and descend into
the depths of Vosemite or wearily
. -1 i "
journey to" t lie ue woen one can
have all tbe cataracts tbey "want maue
at tbeir veiy doors?
Turn your bead bere and you will
find vourself in front of tnat wonder
ful achievement, tbe great Corliss
Engine. How very simple it seems
in construction, to have such a pow
er! Tbe walking beams stretch up
and down and whirl that great wheel
around as if it was tbe merest child's
play, and in some indefinable way
that gives life and motion to all tbe
machines in that vast building, from
great engines only second in size tj
itself down to the most insignificant
little machine that performs its small
but useful mission. What a just
pride must Gil the inventor and
maker of this great thing! In watch
ing tbe almost noiseless revolutions
of this wheel and the clocklike
smoothness and precision of tnotioo,
and the use of it, and from what it
came, one then can realize what strides
in improvement our nation has made
this century. Below this, down tbe
main aisle, are looms for weaving al
most every kind of cloths known
here, as well as three ply, two ply,
and brnssels carpet and jute bag
gage. There are spinning machines
for wool and cotton threads and
spool machines far reeling cotton. J.
1'. Coates' cotton takes the lead there
in point of beauty of arrangement
This display, however, is near tbe
door. Among tbe thousands of ma
chines of all descriptions there, one
cannot but single out those that
please one's own particular fancy and
bent of mind. Women generally
like at least what pleases the eye io
symmetry or color, while men can
see beauty in a pile of lead pipe. Of
this latter there is a quantity of va
rious sizes and kinds. There are
other sorts but I am not learned
enough in those matters to be able
to describe their excellences. I saw
some splendid Hoe printing presses;
a shingle machine which seems to
create the shingles in some mysterious
manner; some turbine water wheels.
I wish there was a twenty stamp
quartz mill in operation; many people
would le gld to see it. I see also
some care wherein snot oi various
sizes arc prettily displayed, and one
scroll cutting machine which does
tbe most exquisite work.
Tbe ynii-b club makes a fine dis
play of ;ctures of various boats
whiib b t gained in sailing races,
and modi Is of boats of two to three
feet l.-ng. There are some life boats
which attract much attention.
By this lime it was four o'clock
and I was hungry, and concluded to
go to horticultural hall to the Cali
fornia restaurant, where I fondly
hoped to get something worthy the
name. Tbt placo is clean and looks
inviting, but tbe bill of fare is limit
ed to cold dishes, and no coffee or tea
is mado. The bill of fare there, all
told is, "cold lunch every day (fixed
prices) one dollar, consisting o two
plates of the followiog bill of fare:
Half bottle of the golden wine, 1873,
roast beef, roast veal, smoked tongue,
corned beef, roast pork a'l a'mode,
beef, roas. mutton, baked bam,
cheese, almonds, filberts, wine, gold
en wine, roast chicken, chicken salad,
balf bottle of wine, ice cream, cakes,
pies, fruits. Lunch is served by tbe
celebrated caterer James Walters; j
L. Tooton DeAree, manager. N.
B. Guests are requested to pay at
tbe cashier's desk, where orders are
receired for the golden wine." So
seeing the bill of fare I boldly order
ed what I wanted with coffee. The
polite waiter had nothing there ex
cept cold bam, and no coffee nor tea,
nothing in short but that nasty sour
wine, that bas tbe merit, however, of
beiog prettily colored. Tbe restau
rant u a mere advertisement for tbe
wine, and I dont think it oogbt to
sail more false colors by calling itself
California, and then hiving so little
to eat tbere when tbe very name
meaas abundance I have given it
this extended notice so tbatCali-

, the renowned
silk raiser of Cali
fornia, has arrived here, and that his
worms have also arrived in good con
dition. I eaw tbem, and although I
know but little of those things, I think
tbey are very Goe specimen of silk
worms. Some of tbem have already
eommenced to make their coecoons.
'Mr. Newman has bad a space a.ioi-

He misses

verv much not having

ready, as be has been obliged to wait

chance of displaying me mosi inter

Mr. Newman also expects to mke a
fine display of California silk in all
stages of progress. He certainly
has tbe best wish- s of all California,
for be bas done a great deal for tbe
proxotion of that branch of industry
i in uamornia.
They are still unpacking and plac
ing exhibits in all parts of agricultu
ral ball. I saw one stuffed pig there
that was big enough to be a cow.
Outside agricultural hall dirt and
broken stone impede your path, and
ii is difficult to get about at all. Just
behind this building is anotber which
is to be for dogs and one for poultry,
and one or two others which I do
not know yet to what nse they will
be put
Across the street in the American
restaurant and close by is a building
devoted to the showing of a new
s'yle of coffee makiog machine, which
I believe has great merit, as it ex
tracts and preserves so entirely tbe
flavor and essence of tbe berry.
A little lower down in the lovely
ravine stands tbe dairy, where one
can get a cool glass of milk, and in
short, dairy produce, making some
other things, such as bread and straw
berries. A young lady told me that
she got as much bread and butter,
milk and strawberries as she could
eat for 9j cents. In a week or so
more there will be no strawberries
here, and I won't care for they are
such wretched little abortions that
tbey ain't fit to eat anyhow.
Near agricultural ball they are
making a sort of elevated railway
that has a curious manner of propell
ing. It seems to run on one rail and
looks more like a little steam boat
than a car. It is to convey passen
gers from agricultural hall to Lau
ber's restaurant The locomotives
are at each car, the track stationary,
and tbey pull a cord that pulls the
car.
Close to horticultural hall is a large
tent to display the rhododendrons
that ere brought from England.
They are very handsome and many
people visit them each day.
I understand that many new plants
have arrived (or tbe horticultural
ball, but did not stop this time. One
can't see everything at once with
only one pair of eyea. The little
West End railway takes you from
one of these buildings to tbe other
with remarkable swiftuess, although
once io a while, from some reason
or other, the locomotive gets balky,
and does not start up when it ought.
I had to wait yesterday, in common
with hundreds of others, till tbe en
gineer coaxed tbe engine to start,
wbicb it did not choose to do till we
had waited about twenty minutes
I paused a moment at the door of the
pretty Swiss school house, but was
so tired that I concluded I would
take some other day to study bow
tbe Swiss make tbeyonng idea shoot
and I made for tbe main building in
another desperate hunt for a fountain
where I could get a drink of water.
Just inside tbe door where I entered
are several cbrcmos of Saints, which
are hardly distinguishable from oil
paintings. Tbey are placed wbere
tbe light is the strongest, and strikes
tbe eye tbe first thing. I do not ap
preciate tbe religion that shows it
self in lugubrious expressions of
down mouths and up turned eyes,
nor that which sits in a spider weby
old cave with a raw bead and bloody
bones in tbe hands. I believe in
cheerful hearts that have places for
all men in tbem and who do not think
necessary to wear any outward sym
bol, hsriog tbe real pure thing in the
heart
Down in tbe French section in tbe
main building are some chromos
which please me far more, being full
nf life and brighter. One represents
a group rf children at tbe village
pump; one having got a good head of
water on by placing bis bauds in tbe
spout, deluges all the rest There
are many more handsome ones, but
after all none so beautiful as paint
ings, nor so finished as the chromos
we produce ourselves. The Nation
al Cbromo Company, on Chestnut
and Tenth streets, which baa been in
existence only three years, does tbe
most superior work of this kind I
have seen. These are all copies of
famous paintings from Europe and
America, and are fully as beautiful
as the original. I think the art of
making chromos is a great blessing
to tbe country at large, as it gives so
many tbe chance to feast tbeir eves
on beauty and to feel the refinciDg and
soothing influence of art whose
purses would never bear tbe strain
of buying one of the originals. By
this process a picture worth io the
original $1,000 can be produced io
chromos for $5. Tbe great profusion
of chromos on every conceivable sub
ject this company exhibits, comprises
copies of some of the most renowed
paintings extant, as well of some
wUch are painted in their own gal
lery. I would be glad to describe
tbem all at length if possible, but it
would take me a year. I will just
say, though, that there is of tbeir ar
tists one which is very beautiful. It is
an embodiment of that sweet old
song, "Ben Bolt" and has all that
tender retrospection that makes tbe
song so sweet You see tbe old mill
with tbe rafters all cramed io, and
the village church spire wljere close
by sweet Alice lies under the stone.
There are few colors in this picture
but in all the attributes that go to
make up a good picture this excels, j
Tbere is some indescribable softness
about this gem, as if it too, were!
overgrown with moss that bas climb
ed around the old stones, and it is
with a tender smile, balf sad, half
pleased that one leaves this to look
upon a large cbromo, a rich sunshio
ing picture of tbe Nile, with feathery
palm and ruined temple, group of
camels, and all reflecting the warm
glorious sun of that burning land.
A companion to this is tbe Nile by
moonlight, as gloriously beautiful as
tbe daylight scene only, sombre col
ors take tbe place of tbe gorgeous
richness of the other. These pictures
are very large and eost fifteen dollars
a piece. I wonld as lief bare them
aa ue ongioais wnicn eost as many
thousands. There are so man other
.really admirable works of art "in that
J gallery that I would like to write
i about, bnt I would even then h .
tag lew words where I should sav
many. ' linen. Many on Sponelorj
told mo that sometimes they get up
a single cbromo costing as mucb as:
ten or fifteen thousand dollars. j
I iust rot well into the Italian fee-;
tion wbeo tbe great oeii ciangca oui
six, and every one must take his
chances of being killed trying to get
a car. I saw a case of jewels just
placed. Tbey are exhibited by Lenoe
Bellezr.a, of Koine, and are particu
lar fine in all respects. These
' beautiful patterns of different sorts of
jewels were not only made by tbis
.gentleman himself but Oesignel, and
are thus perfectly original.
Tbere is one peacock made of em
eralds, rubies and diamonds. It bas
also in tbe tail a few long bird of par
adise feather and is intended for ibo
hair. It is exquisite and cost $2,000,
duty paid. Then three flowers made
of brilliants for a sort of crown,
which are made in a manner that
real flowers can be placed in the cen
tres of each. These cost $10,000.
A star which is called the American
Star, is made of one diamond per
fectly white and as large as a filbert
for the centre, while the rays are
made of smaller ones. The number
of stones ia this star is 2.500, and tbe
tbe whole star is valued at $3,000.
Mr. Bellezza affirms thatjthere is not
in America a Goer diamond than tbe
centre stone of tbis star. There is
another piece of work nearly resem
bling this, but the large diamond in
the middle is cot the purest color,
and in consequence does not cost as
much. An odd shaped, frosted silver
pin, oval, and entirely covered with
small brilliants, is very handsome in
deed, and contains 2,000 d'amonds.
The size of this is about one inch in
diameter and one and a balf in
lenirtb.
Tbere are several of the dearest,
sweetest littlefbitsof watches that ever
were seen. Tbey are about g large
as ten and five cent l ierrs. and as
perfect as if tbey had grown so.
Some are open faces and some io
hunting cases and some set in rings.
There are beautiful diamond, emer
ald, rubv and many other sorts of
rings, elegant in design and perfect
in finish, all so excellent that it is
hard to particularize. Kings are com
mon even here, but not such neck
laces as I find in this case, in all
America. Tbe handsomest one is
made of diamonds and rubies of the
purest water. There are twenty
four rubies all of a size, and what is
still more rare, of the same color to a
shade. The whole is a marvel of
lightness and grace of design, while
the lavish profusion of the diamonds,
which seem to have been dropped on
to the setting like drops of dew upon
spider webs. Tbis necklace is valued
at $20,000. A magniGcent pearl
collar, heavy enough to bave even
contented Lotbair, lies below the
diamonds aud rubies and is worth
?2,000 A broach is fixed at $5,000,
and it I aniVnot mistaken sold.
Around on the other side is a neck
lace made of cameos imaginable. 1
think tbere must be twenty or more
of these beautiful works of art hnng
together by those golden threads un
til they hung in graceful festoons full
six inches deep io front. Take this
pattern all together, or each stone
separately, if is an elaborate work of
art and delicacy of touch and artistic
taste. A pair of diamond ear-rings
are made long and in three parts so
that tbey can he detatc-bed ,aud worn
as a whole, a solitaire, a fuschias or
in the original form ; so whoever
buys these will have three pairs. A
queer booking article of jewelry is a
square necklace, made to be worn
with a pompadour waist It is of
heavy Roman gold and set richly
with jewels, but I bave, unfortunate
ly for tbe ladies, forgotten to write
down tbe price. I can tell them it is
not so very dear, for so far all these
goods bave been placed far below the
prices asked on Chestnut street, this
city; so it is no wonder that there are
so many chances for sales. Tbe
commissioners do not like the idea of
these most beautiful articles being
sold and removed before the end of
tbe exhibition, and wilt do all they
can to prevent it I believe I shall
dream all night of jewels and such
things for they flash before my eyes
yet. It is well we can dream some
tiroes, otherwise ao good or pleasant
thing would ever reach us.

Tbe Dlllfr Lakes ef Eerpt.
M. de Lesseps communicated last
week paper to tbe Academy of Sci
ence in London, on the Bitter Lak?s
of tbe Isthmus of Suez. One of
tbem has a salt bank in its centre, and
one of tbe chief problems connected
with it was whether tbis vast basin
could be provided with a sufficient
supply of water, and bow long tbe
operation would take in consequence
of tbe evaporation and absorption of
tbe son dried up for centuries past.
M. de Lesseps states that no difficul
ty whatever was experienced ; the
lake bad received, in round numbers,
1,500,000,000 of cuoic meters in tbe
course of seven months, from the 13tb
of March to the 24th of October,
1808. But long before tbe lakes
were inundated theoretical writers
bad predicted tbey would be dried up
again by tbe action of the sun, it be
itig impossible to supply sufficient
water by the two branches of the
canal the sections of which were too
narrow. The proportions of salt con
tained io the waters rose considera
bly from the beginning, and although
tbe soundings taken at various peri
ods showed that the dissolution of
tbe salt-bank was tbe principal cause
of tbis increase, there was still mucb
doubt about it The last investiga
tions, however, prove that tbe disso
lution Coutinued. and that the propor
tion of ialt is visible diminishing,
notwithstanding tbis process, com
bined with the effects of evaporation.
How can tbis phenomenon be ex
plained ? It can ouly be done by tbe
currents. The considerable differ
ence existing between tbe waters of
tbe Bitter Lakes and those of the ex
tremities of the canal must create
ground currents by which tbe heavier
waters go to the sea, while the sur
face currents carry lighter waters to
the lakes io order to make up for the
loss by evaporation. A practical con
clusion may be drawn from these re
sult?, wbicb only confirm tbe princi
ple of equilibrium of vessels commu
nicating with each other ; it is this,
that a comparatively small orifice
suffices to prevent vast sheets of salt
water, however far from tbe sea, con
centrating under tbe solar influences
iu hot countries.

Except that be indulged too freely
in tbe use of the intoxicating cop,
John Wallace was an honest, bigb-
minded and exemplary man
Ui8
one great fault bung like a dark shad
ow over his many virtues. He meant
well, and when he was sober, did
well. .
He was a batter by trade, and by
industry had acquired money suffi
cient to buy a house io wbicb he liv

years before for $3,000. pavinz $1.000,

Tbe mortgage note was almost due
at tbe time the circumstances made
me acquainted with the affairs of the
family. But Wallaco was ready for
tbe day ; he had saved up the money ;
tbere appeared to be no possibility of
an accident I was well acquainted
with Wallace, having done some
littlo collecting and drawn up some
legal documents for bioi. One day
bis daughter Anna came Into my
office in great distress, declaring that
ber father was ruined and they should
be turned out of tbe house n wbicb
tbey lived.
"1'erbaps not, Miss Wallace," said
I trying to console ber, and give tbe
affair, whatever it was, ajbrighter as
pect. "What bas happened '!"
"My father," she replied, "had the
money to pay the mortgage on the
house in which we live, but it is all
gone now."
"Has he lost it V
"I don't know; I suppose so. Last
week he drew two thousand dollars
from tbe bank, and lent it to Mr.
Bryce for ten days."
"Who is Mr. Bryce ?"
"lie is a broker. My father got
acquainted with bim through George
Chandler, who boards with ns, and
who is Mr. Bryce 'a clerk "
"Does Mr. Bryce refuse to pay ?"
"He says be bas paid it"
"Well, what is the trouble then?"
"Father sBys be bas not paid it "
"Indeed, bin tbe note will prove
that be bas not paid it. Of course
you have that ootn?"
"No; Mr. Bryce hasir."
"I suppose he bas paid, or be could
not bave tbe note. W bat docs your
father say ?"
"He i positive that be never has
received the money. The mortgage,
be savs, must be paid to-morrow."
"Very singular! Was poor father
" I hesitated to see tbe use tbe un
pleasant word, which must bave gra
ted harshly on tbe ear of the devoted
girl.
"Mr. Bryce says my father was nut
just rigLt when be paid him, though
not very bad."
"I will see your father."
"He is coming here iu a few mo
ments. I thought I would see you
first, and tell you tbe facts before he
came."
' I do not see how Bryce cou'd
have obtained the note unless be
paid the money. Wbere did your
father keep it ?"
' He gave it to me, ami I put it in
the secretary ?"
"Who were in the room when you
put it in the secretary ?"
"Mr. Bryce, George Chandler, my
father and myself."
The conversation was bere inter
rupted by tbe entrance of Wallace.
He looked pale and haggard, as much
from the effects of anxiety as of the
debauch from which be was just re
covering.
"She has told you about it, I sup
pose," said he io a very low tone.
"She has."
I pitied him, poor fellow, for two
thousand dollars was a large sum for
bim to accumulate a-bi little busi
ness. Tbe loss of it would make the
future look like a desert to bim. It
would be a mislortune wbicb one
must ondergo to appreciate it
"What do you think about it?"
asked he very gloomily. "I know
be never paid me. I was not much
in liquor at the time. I remember
very well of going borne as regularly
as ever I did in my life. I could
tell bow I passed tbe time."
"What passed between vou that
day ?"
"Well, I merely stennid into bis
office it was only day before yester
day to tell him not to forget to bave
the money for me by to-morrow. He
took me back into bis private office,
and as I sat there be said be would
get the money ready tbe next day.
He then left me and went into the
office, wbere I beard bim send George
out to the bank to draw a check for
two thousand dollars, so I supposed
he was going to pay me then?"
"What docs tbe clerk say about
it?"
"He says Mr. Bryce reu. irked,
wbeo be sent him, that be was going
to pay me the money."
"Just so." -' ;
"And when George came io, be
went to the front oflice again and
took tbe money. Then he came to
me again, but did not offer to pay me
the money."
"Had you the note with you ?"
"No ; now I remember, be said be
supposed I bad not the note with me,
or he would pay me. He told me to
come in tbe next day aud he. would
have it ready '.hat was yesterday.
When I came to look for tbe note it
could not be found; Annie and I
bave hunted the bouse all over."
"You told Bryce so ?"
"I did ; be laughed, and showed
me the note with bis signature cross
ed over with ink, and a holo punched
in it" j
"It is plain, Mr. Wallace, that he !
paid you tbe money, as be alleged,
or has obtained fraudulent posses-1
sion of the note, and intended to
cheat yon out of it"
"He never paid " replied be, firm-
r . . i
"Then be has fraudulently obtain

he wonld not do anythioir of that
kind."
"I am sure be would not," repeat
ed Annie, earnestly.
' How else could Bryce obtain the
note bat through bim? What time
does he come borne at night?" ' I
"Always at tea time. lie never

Wallace. ' .

"He has a night key."
"I mast see Chandler," said I.
"No barm in seeing bim," added
Mr. Wallace. "I will go for bim."
In a few moments he retorned with
the young man, Chandler; in tbe
conversation 1 bad with him be man
ifested a very lively interest in tbe
solution of the mystery, and prt f-ts
ed himself ready to anything to for
ward my views.
"When did yon return to tbe bouse

"We are getting st something," I
remarked. "How did von get in Mr.
Chandler?"
The young man smiled as be rlane-
ed at Annie. "On arriving at the
door," be replied, "I found that I
had lost my night key. At that mo
ment a watchman happened along,
and I told him my situation. He
knew me, and taking a ladder from
an unfinished bouse opposite, placed
it against one of tbe second story
windows, and I entered in that way."
"Good! Now who was it that

Acting upon this thought I wrote
a lawyers letter "demand against

not to speak of the afUir, I dismissed
them.

He saw that tbe evidence I had

drew bis check on tbe spot for twen

begging me not to mention tbe afTiir,
he sneaked off.
I cashed the check, and hastened
to Wallace's bouse. Tbe reader mar

ever after was a temperate man. He

An ingeuious mode of designiog
on glass, being a modification of tbe
process by which copperplate en
gravings on paper are transferred to
porcelain, bas been invited in France.
As fine-lined copperplate engravings
would not adbere to glass, otherB
having considerable depths are used;
also, to impart to tbe enamels that
thickness wbicb tbe glass reqoires,
stearates and oleates are added to
tbe usual elements, which serve to
suppol t or to fuse tbe colored and
coloring oxides; and for a vehicle, a
solution of resin in ether or benzine is
added to the mixture. Impressions.
taken mechanically on paper with
tbis ink from engraved rollers, are
transierred to tbe glass, wbicb is
then treated as in similar processes
witb porcelain, and is Dually placed
in tne lurnace. r.nects of great ar
tistic beauty and merit are found
capable of being produced by tbis
means at a trining cost, and it is prob
able that tbe application of tbe art
will be greatly extended.
A Plmee r Bilr.
A plague of mice has appeared on
several farms of Teviotdale. Tbe
farmer's club of tbe district lately ap
pointed a committee to investigate
tbe matter. Oo some farms tbe mice
have eaten thirty per cent of tbe
grass which should be ready for the
ewes, and in consequence of tbe
want ol keep the ewes are in poor
condition, aud tbe lambs are perish-
ug. Tbe mce, wbicb are in mil
lions, do not in all respects resemble
the bouse or tbe ordinary Geld mouse:
they are from three to four inches
long, witb a short, stumpy tail, bave j
bright pierceing eyes, and large ears
almost level with tbe fur; are brown
colored on tbe back and asb colored
on tbe belly; and tbe stomachs of
tbe few that were captured contained
vegetable matter only. Tbe impor
tance of weasels and birds of prej is
suggested by tbe Scotsman as the
best remedy for the plague which
bas been coming on for tbe last five
years even though tbe game should
to some extent suffer.
