A 1-Yrck.l ed -Kac-ed Girl
"Ma's up stairs changing her
dre88,"eaid the freckled face girl, ty
ing her doll's bonnet string and cast
ing her eyes about for a tidy large
enough to 6erve for a ehawl for that
"double jointed personage.
"0, your mother needn't dress up
for me," said the female agent of the
missionary society, taking a self sat
isfied view of herself in the mirror.
"Run up and tell her to come dwn
just as she is in her every day clothes
and not stand on ceremony."
"0, but she hasnt got on her ev
ry dp v clothes. Ma was all dress
ed up In her new brown silk, 'cause
she expected Miss Dimmond to-day.
Miss Dimmond always" comes over
here to show off her nice things and
ma don't mean to get left When
ma saw you coming she said, "The
dickens !" and I guess she was mad
about something. Ma said if you
saw her new dress, she'd have to
hear all about the poor heathen who
donthave silk, and you'd ask her
for mere money to buy hymn books
for 'em. Sav.dothe nigger ladies
use hymn book leaves to do tbeir
hair up on and make it frizzy? Ma
says she guesses that's all the good
the books ever do 'em, if they ever
get any bo-ks. I wish my doll was
a heathen."
"Why you wicked little girl, what
do yu want with a heathen doll?"
inquired the missionary lady, taking
a mental inventory of the new things
in the parlor to get material for a
Vm-mlc m worldly extravagance.
"So Joits would sena ner iuu- -j-nice
things to wear and feel sorry to
have her go about naked. Then ,
she'd have hair to friz, and I want a
doll with true hair and eyes that roll
up like Deacon Sliderback's when
he says amen on Sunday. I ain't a
wicked girl, either, 'cause Uncle Dick
you know Uncle Dick, he has been
out west and swears awful and
smokes in the house he says I'm a
holy terror and he hones I'll be an
angel pretty soon. Ma'll be down
in a minute, so you needn't take
your cloak off. She said she'd box
my ears if I asked you to. Ma's
putting on that old dress she had
last year, cause she said she didn't
want you to think she was able to
give much this time, and she needs
a muff worse than the Queen of the
Cannon Ball Islands needs religion.
Uncle Dirk says you oughter go to
the islands, 'cause you'd be safe
there and the uatifs'd be sorry they
was such sinners that anybody'd
eend you to 'em. He says he never
seen a heathen hungry euough to
eat vou, 'less 'twas a blind one, and
you'd set a blind pagan's teeth on
edge so he'd never hanker after any
more missionary. Uncle Dick's aw
ful funny and makes pa and ma die
laughing sometimes."
"Your Uncle Richard is a bad, de
Ttraved wretch, and ousht to have re
-. . . ,-, i i ... , ..c
mained out west 'where his style is
appreciated. He sets a trorrid ex
nl. for little rirls like vou."
"O. I think he's nice. He showed
me how to slide dow the banisters,
and h"s teaching me to whistle
when ma ain't rouud. That's a
pretty cloak you've got, ain't it? Do
you buy all your good clothes with
missionary money? Ma says you
do"
Just then the freckled faced little
girl's ma came into the parlor and
kissed the missionary lady on the
cheek and said she was delighted to
see her, and they proceeded to have
a real b ociable chat The little girl's
ma cani understand why a person
who professes to be so charitable as
the missionary -does, should go right
over to Miss Dim mend's and say
such ill natured things as she did,
and she thinks the missionary is a
double faced gossip.
He wu Discharged.
A gentleman was arraigned before
an Arkansas justice on a charge of
obtaining money under false pre
tences. He had entered a store pre
tending to lie a customer, but proved
to be a thief.
"Your name is Jim Lickmore?"
said the justice.
"Yes, sir."
"And you are charged with a
crime that merits a long term in the
penitentiary."
"Yes, sir."
"Are you guiltv of the crime?"
"I am."
"And you ask for no mercy?"
"No. sir."
"You have had a creat deal of
trouble within the last two years?"
"Yes, sir, I have."
"You have often wished that you
were dead?"
"I have, please your honor."
"You wanted to steal money
enough to take you away from Ar
kansaw?" "You are right, Judge."
"If a man had stepped up and
ehot you just as you entered the
store, you would have said, "Thank
you, sir?"
"Yes, sir, I would. But, Judge,
how did you find out so much about
me?"
"Some time ago," said the Judge,
with a solemn air, "I was divorced
from my wife. Shortly afterward
you married her. The result is con
clusive. I discharge yes. Here take
this fifty dollar bill. You have suf
fered enough."
Soathera Woodlands.
The wooded lands of Mississippi
comprise 20,000,0(10 acres.
It is computed that the forest
Texas would supply the whole
country with timber for. one hundred
year.
North Carolina has an acreage of
growing timber amounting to about
75 per cent of her territory.
The yellow pine forests of Florida
extend over three-fifths of the fix
counties of Putman, Marion, Sumter,
Polk, Hernando and Hilliboro.
Louisiana's timber lands cover
15,000,000 acres. It is said that the
lumber business of Maine and Mich
igan will ultimately be transferred
to Florida and Louisiana.
A great pine belt stretches across
southern Georgia and Alabama to
the rivers that flow into the "Mobile
bay. The pine forests of Georgia
alone cover an area of about 11,500,
000 acres.
There are immense tracts of Cot
tonwood along the Mississippi and
its tributaries. The cotton wood tree
reaches the height of seventy feet,
and planks from four to six feet wide
are easily cut from it It is perfectly
free from knots and pitch.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, March-31.
day of the week, except
President Arthur derates
Every
Sunday,
the hour from 1 until 2 o'clock p. m.
to the reception of unofficial callers.
Thev are received in the library of
the White House, a long and oval
shaped room where the cabinet meet- j
ingsare held. His business callers
seat themselves in a line around
this room. The President first
shakes hands with the people who
have come to pay him merely their
respects, then he walks about and
talks to his business callers, but sits
down with no one. He has a busi
ness like way of dealing with his
callers, and devotes his entire atten
tion for the minute to the person ad
dressed. He has no time for indi
rect words, still there is no difficulty
in securing an interview with bira by
anvone who has any real business
to transact On these occasions he
always wears a dark business fuit,
the only color he allows himself be
ing a red rose in his button hole.
It seems impossible for President
Arthur to g(t away frorj Washing
ton on a trip for recuperation. He
has not yet been .able to do any of
the things he has proposed to do in
the way of seeking rest He has
neither gone to Florida, Fortress
Monroe, nor Soldier's Home. His
latest fancy was a jaunt to New Or
leans, but a postponement of this
plan has l-een rendered necessary by
the death of Postmaster General
Mavp and as he has already so
long delayed starting, it is probable
he will give up Uie project nnaiiy.
Still he is not half so sick as 6ome
have represented him to be. ine
round of political and social duties
during the past winter was arduous.
He is only feeling its etiect now, ana
i in about the same condition as
every other man in Washington who
has devoted so many hours both to
work and to society. He still weighs
two hundred and fifty pounds, and
cannot yet be looked upon as an in
valid.
Wednesday being the day on
which the obsequies of the late
Postmaster General Howe took
place, all the executive departments
of the Government were closed, and
their flags flying at half mast. The
Postotnce Ueparimeni, is orapeu iu
mourning, and on Tuesday the clerks
and employes of the Department
met in the roe-rd hall of the audi-
tor's office to express their respect
for their late Chief, m the lorui ol
suitable resolutions, that the family
and friends of Judge liowe might
be assured of the sympathy for
them, and the admiration for him,
entertained by his late subordinates.
The law relative to vacancies in
the executive office requires the ap
pointment of a postmaster general
within ten days from the date of the
occurrence of the yacancy. Humor
is rife as to who will be the next
head of the Department, but with
President Arthur's well known reti
cence it would not be safe at this
writing to forecast his choice.
The latest Presidential prophecy
is by Jere Black, who looks upon
Senator Conger, -of Michigan, as the
most probable Republican candi
date. His name is being mentioned
in a quiet way among prominent
men, some of whom think he has
the elements of a leader. His
friends do not claim that he is an
eloquent or a brilliant man, but that
UK uao gUb buc out" "
he has no enemies, and that his re
cord, both private and public, is
clean. On the Democratic side, Mc
Donald is Etill talked of as an avail
able man.
General Sherman expects to start
on
his summer trip to the 1'aciuc
coast about the 'Uth oi June, ana
return the 1st of October. His par
ty, which will be a 6mall one, will
include Chief Justice vaue ana
Justice Gray, of the Supreme Court
They will visit some of the Army
Posts, and it is to be Sherman's last
trin west as General of the army.
Ex-President Diaz, of the Mexi
can Republic, and party who are
visiting Washington, are quartered
at the Arlington Hotel. An elabo
rate prozramme for their entertain
ment is being carried out, though
some formal attentions that were to
have been shown them have been
omitted through respect to the de
ceased Cabinet Minister. These dis
tinguished visitors 6how much in
terest in seeing the sigh Us of the city.
General Diaz is a man of strong
characteristics, with a soldierly ap
Dearance. erect form and manly car
riage. He speaks but little English,
while his wife, an attractive woman
not more than eighteen years old
sueaks it fluently.
Representative S. S. Cox, of New
York, is in Washington, and is
working earnestly to secure the
Sneakershio of the next House. He
says active movements are in pro
gress for him, and he expects to en
ter the race with the united vote of
the delegation from his own State,
excepting the6upportof Mr. Abram
Hewitt
Ubiquitous Governor Butler, of
Massachusetts, is in the city looking
after his financial interests. His ti
tle deed to the groud on Capitol
Hill on which stands the large pile
of granite erected by him is being

A Naughty Pi-iB.ee.
A naughty boy, and sadly insub
ordinate, was P-iince William of
f Russia in his younger days. He
was taken to see the wedding of his
! uacle, the Prince of Wales, and was
1 there placed between two other of
I his royal uncles, that they might
keep him still. But alack! the
guardians of juvinile peace should
not have been arrayed in Highland
garb. For the royal voungster would
j squirm and fidget and ak questions
in too audible whispers, and then,
whenever he was touched to keep
quiet, down ducked his royal head
and savagely closed his royal teeth
upon their royal, but unprotected
legs, to the detriment at once of their
comfort and dignity, and the gravity
of the occasion. Such, at any rate,
was the explanation of certain un
easy antics as given by the boy's
mother to the Bishop of Winchester
and recorded in that prelate's life of
his son, Mr. Reginald Wilberforce.
Don't Talk Loadljr.
Nothing marks a true lady or
gentleman more surely than a low
voice; and a man can have it as
well as a woman. A loud voice aris
es either from extreme carelessness
or low breeding. No one likes to
walk beside a person - in the street
who talks in a loud voice. The
same rule applies to girls and boys.
Play is one thing and conversation
another, though the former need not
be boisterous. Children may have
good lungs and use them in cheer
ing at the proper time, but when
they talk a low, distinct voice marks
one who has been accustomed to
good society and possessed of innate
refinement.

PARIS L.ETTKR.
Paris, March 15.
Despite the electric telegraph,
news travels so slowly from London
to Paris that, with'l believe only
one exception La Brforme the
morninz capers published no tidings
of the terrible occurrence which has
filled everv English heart with in
dignation. " The evening journals, j
however, have made the most of the
sensational news, and several appear
with the words "Explosion at the
English Parliament" printed in large
letters across the whole front of the
Caper. The political horizon has
een so dark in this country for
some little time past that yesterday's
outrage in London fails to produce
the effect that might have been an
ticipated in less troubled times.. The
majority of Frenchmen remark that
England has ner lrreconcneaoies m i
the Irish, and that the Government'
of Europe will have to combine in
order to stem the rising tide of in
surrection. It is affirmed to-day that the Gov
ernment intends to hold a grand in
ternational exhibition at Paris in
1SS5.
M. Ferdinand de Lessens left Tu
nis yesterday for Gales to join Com
mandaHt Roudaire, to whose scheme
for the-creation of an inland sea in
the Chottsjsituated near the southern
frontiers of the Regency and Alge
ria, he has all along given the warm
est encouragement The party is
about to proceed by way of Kriz,
Aslondje, and El Feidh to Biskra,
and after a careful examination of
the country, M. de Ltsseps will pro
nounce a definite opinion as to the
feasibility of a project which Com
mandant Roudaire has always main
tained to be practicable.
M. Grevy's little grand-daughter,
Marguerite Wilson, is to be christen
ed to-morrow at the Elysee. The
President of the Republic is to be
the god father, and Madame Pelonze,
M. 'Wilson's sister, will officiate as
Marraine. The ceremony will be of
a 6trictly private character, the fam
ily only being permitted to witness
it.
American visitors to I'aris will do
well to keep a sharp eye on their be
longings on arriving at the Northern
Railway station. Baron de Cop-
plus, of the Belgian legation, who
arrived yesterday, was robl-ed of a
dressing case containing jewelry,
which he had left in a cab lor only
a couple of minutes while looking
for ins other luggage.
The following extraordinary pla
card in manuscript probably the
work of a practical joker, was dis
covered this morning affixed to sev
eral houses in the Rue Mont Marbre
and on the Boulevard des ltaliens:
"Officers and soldiers, Mount Aven
tine is moving ! A hundred thou
sand men. led by the voung and
proud nobility of France, are ready
to descend from the heights. The
white flag and the red flag, with
golden lilies, will unite to drive
away from our assemblies the pack
of chatterers who grow Jat at the ex
pensc of the productive classes, and
the Jews, so-called magistrates, who
prostitute justice. If a traitor tells
you to fire on the people refuse to
obey, for in complying you will be
shedding the purest blood in France.
Look quietly on and shout "Vive la
Patrie!" The work will be short,
' comrades and soldiers. When it is
over we will join in fraternal har-
monv for the welfare and salvation
of France."
We are already blessed with a su
perabundance of ,:emblems" in this
country, but as an inglorious device
the combination ot the blood red
flag of the Commune with the gold
en lilies of the Bourbon family will
prove difficult to beat
A Blockade Story.
Late in the fall of 1SG2, says M
Quad, in hi3 story of blockade run
ning, the British schooner .Francis
loaded at Nassau and made for the
coast of Florida. Just as she had
sighted the coast a fishing boat gave
her the information that a Federal
gunboat was cruising in those wa
ters. The schooner kept on her way
until night fall, and then becalmed.
Presently a curious incident occur
red. The gunboat had been looking
into some of the inlets and had not
seen the schooner. Two hours after
dark 6he steamed slowly out to with
in a quarter of a mile of the schoon
er and then shut off steam and ex
tinguished her lights, lhase on
board the schooner could at first
make her out with a night glass, but
presently a fog arose which shut out
the view. 1 he night was still and
the 6ea perfectly smooth, and those
on the schooner could only wait and
hope that a breeze would spring up
during the night and enable her to
creep away. In a calm one vessel
is a magnet to draw another. 1 hey
will slowlv drifi toward each other
in every case, instead of separatin
In this instance those on the schoon
er soon discovered that the crafts
were drawing together, bat they
were powerless to prevent it At
midnight thev could hear the talk
of the men on the gunboat, though
the fog was too thick to see any
thing. At 1 o'clock the vessels soft
ly rubbed each other, and remained
broadside on, as if lashed together,
The Federals had simply to clamber
over the rail to capture the schoon
er, and the chagrin of her crew can
be imagined but not described. In
half an hour after her capture
breeze sprang up which would have
carried her thirty miles before day
break. The Bad and Wort hie
Are never imitated or counterfeited.
This is especially true of a family
medicine, and it is positive proof
that the remedy imitated is of the
highest value. As soon as it had
been tested and proved by the whole
world that Hop liitters was the pur
est, best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many imitations
sprung up and began to steal the
notices in which the press and peo
ple of the country had expressed
the merits of II. B., and in every
way trying to induce suffering inva
lids to use their stuff instead, ex
pecting to make money on the credit
and good name of II. B. Many
others started nostrums put up in
similar style to H. B., with variously
devised names in which the word
"Hop" or "Hops" were used in a
way to induce people to believe they
were the same as Hop Bitters. All
such pretended remedies or cures,
no matter what their style or came
is, and esecially those with the
word "Hop" or "Hops" in their name
or in any way connected with them
or their name, are imitations or
counterfeits. Beware of them.
Touch none of them. Use nothing
but genuine Hop Bitters, with a
bunch or cloister of green Hops on
the white label. Trust nothing else.
Druggists and dealers are warned
against dealing in . imitations or
counterfeits.
II amble Minded.
"Hem! hem!" coughed Chas. Graf
ton as he limped out and toed the
mark. "I want to know where I
am."
"At the Central Station Court,"
Detroit, answered His Honor.
"What for?"
"The charge is drunkenness."
"And who's the Judge ?"
"I am."
"Well, I have rights, and I am
bound to mantaiu them. Before this
trial goes any further I want to go
home and put on a clean shirt and
get some ehewing tobacco. I want
to look half-way decent and feel half
way human."
"Can't let you go."
"Then I won't be tried !"
"But you will ! The law doesn't
care a copper what sort of a shirt a
prisoner has on, and if you are dying
tor something to chew on Bijah al
ways has a chunk of shoe-makers'
wax lying around."
"Did you say I was drunk?"
"That's the charge."
''Well, I won't be tried on no such
charge. The idea that a man of my
years and dignity would get drunk
and be staggering around the streets
is all nonsense.
"Officer was this man the worse for
drink?"
"He was almost helpless, sir."
"I was, eh?" queried the prisoner.
"Now, sir, do you make oath that I
was drunk r
"I do."
"How did I act"
"You cried, talked silly, and said
you would like to adopt me lor a
son."
"Your Honor, I can't stand this: I
appeal this case, and want that man
arrested for perjury."
"I shall fine yeu ten dollars.
"I'll rot in the bastile before I'll
pay it"
'Then you go up for sixty days."
'"I never will."
Bijah keeps an empty barrel in
the corridot for just such occasions.
When Mr. Gralton began prancing
around, and declared that he would
sell his life at the highest market
price, he was picked up and doubled
together in the center and crowded
into the barrel, and six minutes had
not passed away before he was hum
ble-minded as a boy at the bottom of
a well.
A Hard Grind.
A hand-organ man was makin
his way up Adams avenue yester-
dav, when a boy met him and ask
ed': "How many tunes do you play?"
"Sixteen shunes, nice, sweet
shunes," replied the man.
"My father is fond of music, but
he is a little deaf," continued the
boy.
'"0, dat makes no difference I
make him hear."
The boy led the way up street to
where a plaster bust of bir Isaac
Newton had been arranged in a bay-
window to look like a living man
and the Italian spit on his hand and
began on the crank. Hegroundout
all the tunes in rotation, and then
began at the bottom and ground
back up the scale till he got all the
tunes in the garret of the box again.
The man in the baywindow didn't
move a hair, and the Italian drew
a long breath and sighed :
Play more museek make him a
hear soon.
He ran out eight tunes, and then
threw some p ravel at the window
The bust didn't even work its ears,
and the Italian leaned the organ on
the fence and loudly sang:
Oli ! who shall dinks of me some moar
Whon I am far a-w-y !"
The seven other tunes were rat
tled off at a lively pace, while the
man coughed, whistled, kicked on
the fence and encouraged a dog
fight, in order to attract a deaf man's
attention.
"Sing louder play harder 1" call
ed the bov, lrom the next corner.
Ihe grinder secured a brace lor
his feet, unbuttoned his vest, and
the way he roared brought out the
citizens by the score. He kept his
eves on the bust and gave no heed
to the crowd, and the organ box was
smoking hot when he left up on the
grind. Resting the music on the
ground, he leaped over the fence and
got a square look at his victim. His
quiet grin faded into a look ol woe
and misery and murder, and getting
his eyes on the bov with the red
necktie, he ran him four blocks an
under a carpentershop before a still
small voice whispered that he had
better hold on.
At a recent meeting of the inu
nicipal council of a certain city one
honorable member proposed, in view
of the fact that there was a consul
treble surplus in the treasury, that
an appropriation be made lor the
construction of a bridge.
"Of a bridge?" echoed another
honorable meiaberscornfully; "why,
there is no river here."
"Never mind that," cried the pro
poser of the motion; "let us get the
bridge first, and then we can appro
priate money to get the river."

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
In Soon Gold Watch, aside from
Uie necessary thickness for engraving and
rxilifcliing, a large proportion of metal i
needed only to stiffen and hold the engrav?
fd portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James .Boss' Patent Gold Watch Caeea this
Ivaste is saved, and solidity and
strength increased hy a simple process,
at one-half (he cost. A plato of SOLID
(sols is sohfered or) each side of a plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed, between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, hacks,
centers, bezels, etc axe cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and engine turning." These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use irithont removing the gold. ThU u
Ike only case made under this process. Eaek
tote it accompanied with a valid gvarantet

nia. The shaft is 1,570 feet deep,
From its bottom, almost a third of i
mile down, two hundred cars, hold
ing four tons each, are lifted every
day. They are run upon a platform,
and the whole weight of six tonaij
hoiated at a speed that makes the
head swim, the time occupied in
lifting a full car being only a little
more than a minute. The hoisting

"A person with weak nerves shoul

that one seems falling through the

ears ring as the drums of these or

pressure, and the eyes shut involun

is fantastic. The light does not pas

Our day merges into night, but there
is a kind ot phosphorescent glow,
gradually becoming dimmer and
dimmer. Half way down you pass
with a roar and sudden crash the as

seems several minutes, but is only a
fraction of that time, the platform
begins to slow up, halts at a gate,
and through it you step into a crowd
of creatures in the shape of men,

Didn't Hit Him Hard.
Congressman O-Jiiltree is a fruit
ful source of the best stories that are
told in and out of Congress. Re
cently, when he and the pugilist
Mace were both staying at the S?L
Charles Hotel, New Orleans, he re
marked to a friend that theslK
ger" did not look to be a very quiet
man, and finally bet a basket o
wine that he could give him a bki
and escape punishment by instantly
apologizing, before the fighter couii
put up his fists.
Accordingly, Ochiltree approach
ed the champion of the ring, and
without a word struck him on the
nose with his open hand. But, be
fore he could ojen his mouth to ut
ter the apology, the bystanders saw
a vision of a very fiery red head and
moustache, and a nice new dresj
suit presumed to inclose the figure
of a man. knocked from the end of
the bar through the folding doors
out on the siilewalt. Ochiltree was
at once picked up and repaired by
his friends. Then they assisted him
into Mace's presence, and he ex
plained that be had tapped that
worthy's nose mereiy to carry out
wager, and said he was sorry whicl
was quite evident.
"Tlien that's hall right," quoth
Mace, turning to the crowd; and I m
glad Hi didn't it 'im 'ard."
He Took the Cake.
While the circus was in Austin
the city was Hooded with our cons'
ins from the country. So the pi'''
kins family was blessed with a wag
on load of them, all of farmer
gum's family having moved in. The
!?pillkins put on a good deal of style,
so they had a big banquet prepared,
the leading feature of which was
large cake for desert. It was a bugs
thing, as big as a large cheese. n
"Whar shall I cut this here cake?
asked Beegum.
"It don't make any difference
where you cut it." I
"It don't? iVell, then, I reckon i
had better cut it out on the rauch,
and picking it up in his arm?, M
carried it out into his wagon.
