Mr. Dibble, "I kntw 1 could depend upon the hospitality of my fluck to entertain this excellent young divine, Bteing that my own household is in so dis organized a condition, owing to the exigencies of cleaning bouse. It will be only for a night or two, and we all know what is promised to those who receive the angel unawares !" A Lid Mr. Dibble rubbed his hands and looked smilingly around upon the members of the Young Ladies' Aid Association, while a very per ceptible murmur of assent rose up from this aggregate collection of curls, bangs, frizzed hair, and crimp ed laces Not a tlarnsel in the number but would eladly have extended her pra- fiiMia rin&rtitalitv In IKa Potr TiVl t Amory who wasto preach asermon . . .. .. . . . in aid of "iiome Helps and Mis Fiocs" at the village church upon the coming Sarday evening. -- ' ' "I'm eare," gaid Miss Lida Lark spur, promptly anticipating the cri sis, "papa would be most happy to receive the gentleman I" vv hue all the other ladies looked indignantly first at Miss Lida then at each other, and whisnered. "Bold 1 . , "Most kind ot you to promise it. I am sure," said Mr. Dibble, and so the matter was settled, not at all to the general satisfaction. And Lida Larkspur went home, and issued orders that the parlor curtains should be washed and iron ed, and a pound cake of the richest nature concocted. While Kate Duer, the doctor's sis ter, who was as fond of young cler evmen as Lidia herself, and would in no wise have objected to varying the monotony of her home life with a spice ot ecclesiastical novelty, re turned to her crochet work with a yawn and a general impression that life was a bore. 'We are to have a young lecturer from the city- in the church on Sun day evening," she said to her broth er when he bustled into dinner. "Eh?" said Dr. Duer, swallowing his scalding soup ; ''are we? By the way. Kate there's a new case of small-pox reported among those hands on the railway enbankment." "Dear me !" said Kate, who was compounding a refreshing salad in a carved wooden bowl;."I hope you keep well vaccinated. Hush." 'Oh, there's no trouble about that 1" said the doctor ; only the oth er patients in the hospital object to uch a case." "I should think it verv likely," said Kate, with a little mow. "I must try to isolate him some where." said Dr. Duer thoughtfully. "In one of those stone houses riy the river, . perhaps. Old Mrs. lagers lias had the disease, I know." Add then Dr. Duer tasted the sal ad and pronounced it first-rate. Pitcherville was all on the qvi rive that day when the double-rhotted piece of tidings flew, on the tougue of popular rumor, through the town. An actual small pox case in their midst, and a your.g minister coming all theway from New Yoik to ap peal to their sympathies on behalf of home tnispions." "I wi nder if it is contagious!" said old Mrs. McAdam, looking very roundeyed through her spectacles. Contagious?" said Mrs. Emmons; "it ought to find its way into every home in our village." What!" crfcd Mrs. McAdam : "the small-pox 1" "No; certainly not, ea'd Mrs. Emmons ; "tbe sympathetic move ment in favor of home missions " And tbrn everyone laughed. Mrs. McAdam looked puzzled, and Mrs. Emmons drew herself up and re marked that "it was very irreverent to laugh at sacred things." But Mips Lidia Larkspur, wnose jather did not believe in vaccination, and who had a mortal horror of the disease against which the famous Jenner waged so successful a war fare, was much troubled in her mind. "I've always had a sort of premo-j residence, nition that 1 should fall a victim to "Just like Kate Duer," said she. the small-pox," sighed she.

"Good gra cious ! ha e 1 stood lace to face with the small-pox case?" Aud then she ran for tbe servant and the camphor bottle, and went into hysterics. Mrc. Printemps lived in the next house a picturesque cottage, over Luue with viruinia creepers, with a little plaster cast of Cupid in the garden, and a great many bluebells aud carnations a young widow who read all the newest books and sometimes wrote gushing poems for tbe second rate monthlies. Mrs. I'rin letups imagined herself like the gifted and unfortunate Mary Queen ol Scots, aud dressed up to the part, as far as nineteenth century prejudices would allow her and she was seated by the casement, try ing to had a rhyme to suit a most unaccommodating line of poe.ry, when the tall pale stranger appeared under her window, "for all the world," as Mrs Printemps subse quently expressed it, "like a "troba j dor, or Pavid Kizzio himself." "Excuse me, madade," he began, "but 1 am from the hospital, and " "My goodness rue I ' ejaculated Mrs. i'rintemp, jumping to her feet; "how dare you come here, and tell me that to my face? Why don't they isolate you ?" "Madame " said the surprised stranger. "Go away!" said Mrs. Printemp, banging down her window and bolt ing it noisily. "Betsy" to her girl run across the meadow to Mrs. Underiay's and tell her that the small-pox case is rampaging all over the country, trying to get people to let him in. and she isn't to open tbe door on anv account.

Make baste now.' Kate Duer was standing in her doorway watching the storm roll grandly over the mountaiu-tops. when the weary and bewildered traveller opened tbe gate and came hesitatingly in. I beg your pardon. Mid be meekly, "but I think there must be sorrething singular jn my appear ance. People seem to shut their doors against me, and shun me as if I had the pestilence. And 1 cannot find the residence of Mr. Dibble, the clergyman. Would it be asking too much it I were to request permission to rest in your porch until the storm is over ? I came from the hospital, and " "Oh, I understand," said Kate quickly. "You are the Emall-pox patient But I have been vaccinated and am not afraid of the disease. There is a very comfortable cham ber in the second story of the barn, and you shall be carefully nursed and taken care of there, of " "But you are mistaken," cried the vourg man : I am not " "Hush!" said Kate gently. "Do not he afraid to confide in me. I am Dr. Duer's sister, and know the whole story. Sit here and rest a lit tle, and I will bring you some bread and milk until my brother comes." "I am a thousand times obliged to you," said the stranger, "and the bread and milk will taste delicious after my long walk. But I do not know what leads you to think that I am a victim to varioloid. I have lost my hat in the wind, to be sure, and am compelled to wear this Syrian-looking drapery on my head, but I never had small-pox, and hope never to encounter its horrors." Kate Duer turned red first, then pale. "Then," said she, "if you are not the small-pox case, who are you?" "I am Felix Amory," said the young stranger, "the chaplain of SL Lucetta's Hospital in New York. I am to preach in aid of the home mission on Sunday next" Kate Duer burst out laughing. "And everyore has been mistak ing you for the small pox caee!" said she "Oh, Mr. Amory, do come in. How could we all have been so stupid? But you seethe minute you becan to speak of the hospital I dare sav it was verv awkward of me," said Mr. Amory." "But its the wav I bave always mentioned myself to Grangers. St. Lucetta's von know " " "Yes, I know," said Kate. "But to the good folks here, there is only one hospital in the world, and that is the Pitcherville Institute." Mr. Amory enjoyed his tea, sliced peaches, and delicate "angel cake" very much, as he sat tete-a-tete with Kate Duer, by the soft light of the shaded lamp, while the rain patter ed without And when the doctor came in it was cosier yet. "Tbe Fmall-pox case?" said he. "Ob, that is safely isolated at Hope's Quarry since this morning. And doing very well, too, I am happy to say. Upon roy word, Mr. Amory, I am sorry that you have had such a disastrous experience." "All's well that ends well," said the young clergyman, leaning back in his snug corner with an expression of ineffable content on his face. Miss Lidia Larkspur wan quite in dignant when she heard that Mr. Amory was staying at Dr. Duer's "The most awkward thing I ever heard of in my life," said Mrs. Prin 'came in autumn when the leaves ory s last visit to mcnervuie. rie ESTABLISHED 1827.

The General Harris referred to by General Grant and Mark Twain, is General T. A. Harris, late Assistant Secretary of State under Governor Blackburn, of Kentucky. From a war paper by Mark Twain In the Decem ber Century.) The rest of my war experience was of a piece with what I have already told of iL We kept monotonously fulling back upon one camp or an other and eating up tbe country. The last camp we fell back upon was in a hollow near the vil lage of Florida, where I was born in Monroe county. Htre we were warned one day that a Union Col onel was sweeping down upon us with a whole regiment at his heels. This looked decidedly serious. Our boys went apart and consulted ; then we went back and told the other companies present that the war was a disappointment to us and we were going to disband, i hey were get ting ready themselves to tall back on some place or other, and were only waiting for General Tom Harris, who was expected to arrive at any mo ment ; so they tried to persuade us to wait a little while, but the ma jority of us said no, we were accus tomed to falling back, and didn't need any of Tom Harris's help; we could get along perfectly well with out him, and sae time, too. So al most half of our fifteen, including myself, mounted and left on the in stant. An hour later we met Gen eral Harris on the road. Harris ordered us back, but we told him there was a Union Colonel com ing with a whole regiment in his wake, and it looked as if there was eoing to be a disturbance, as we con cluded to go home. In time I came to know that Union Colonel, whose coming frightened us out of the war and crippled the Southern cause to that extent Gen eral Grant I came within e few ours of seeing him when he was as unknown as myself. Midnight Sport la Miasi6tippi. "A hanging," said Col. Barbour, "is very old sport for us Miseissip pians. .

They always ac cept and come well mounted, and we go to the spot where the game is hived and string him up. I recol lect last fall, when the boys got tired of deer-driving and duck-hunting, that we got up a little impromptu affair one night in honor of a Texan man who was on a visit to some of his relations, and before daylight we treed four of the meanest men tbe Yazoo swamp had ever seen.

Tbe l'bilosophic Chinese. The mental condition of the Asi atic is repose. He takes things easy. He is industrious, vigilant, provi dent to a minuter degree than an enlightened American ; but he does not fret himself with the many sub jects that attract and distract the minds of progressive peoples. His religion has been established for a thousand years, and he leaves it alone. Political economy, that sub ject of interminable disputation among peoples who call themselves his superiors, he cares nothing about, and the civilized dogma of human rights he knows nothing about Competition, that cause of so much barrassing anxiety and dis aster in enlightened countries, never disturbs the Chinese. Trade, pro duction and prices are regulated by the guilds, which have reduced the business of life to an unvarying sys tem, and tlte incessant strikes and quarrels between labor and capital, and the pitiless mortal rivalries be tween cities, communities, firms and individuals that illustrate life in the advanced countries are unknown in the Acadian land. The Chinese life, is a trifle monotonous, but who will say that the trarquil pigtail wearer does not. after all, extract more red sweet from his sublunary conditions than the restless and insatiable American wbo pays a part of his annual income to the support of tbe towering and crowded asylum, which may at one time of his life be his home ? St. Laui Republican. emfflcient Canae for llerbrmiog. John Henry, the masher, stood on the corner with one of his kind wait ing for a girl to come along whom be might crush. At last a thin young woman from the rural dis tricts came by and John Henry thonght he had found her. As she passed he said something about her being bony ; but he wer-t after her, and catching up, he said : "Good afternoon. Miss." ''Good afternoon." she replied, siz ing him op as if she was going to put a price on him. "Ahem, Miss; ahem. I-ah" he hesitated. "Well," she continued, coolly, "why don't yon bark ?" "Bark ? Bark t I don't quite un derstand," he said, inquiringly. "Oh, you dont? Well. I might have known better than to give yoa credit for so much intelligence, but in our country a puppy that has had any advantages of training always barks when it finds a bone." Since that date John Henry is a changed man. JfercAant Traveller. A DINNER TO LIEUT. GREELY. The Arctic Hero at the Lotoa ciob. ' The Lotos Club of New York City 6.i . uiuuci iu uuuui ui i,i;ulcuii. Oreely, of Arctic fame, last Saturday evening. Gen. Horace Porter, vice-president of the club, presided. At his ryht aaw k , C I . : i : 8ucafc lu eveuiuK, uui. Gseely, showing no traces ot the ter- nolo PUtieriugS and privations Of those summers and winters passed in the far Nor'h while the Govern ment was attempting to relieve him. He wore eye-glasses, but his luxuri ant beard and hair, only Biigbtly tinged with gray, showed that bis stock of vitality was in no wise ex hausted by those htrsh experiences. At the kit of Gen. Porter sat the venerable ex-Judtie Charles P. Daly. Tbe other guests of the club were Commander Schley and Chief En gineer Melville, whose names are linked with Lieutenant Greeiy'a in tbe history of Arctic explorations. About loU members of the club were present. When the last course had follow ed its predecessors, General Porter rapped for order and, rising iu his j pbee, welcomed Major Greely. Here i are some ot the things he said : The Lotos Club is so cosmopoli tan, so impartial, and so unseclional that it is always glad tc entertain distinguished gentlemen either from the South or the North, and having at times entertained gentlemen from the extreme South, we are offsetting it to-night by giving a'greeting to one who cornea from a point furthest North.

A New York reporter, who has been interviewing Miss Templeton in regard to her husband's ( Billy West ) application for a divorce, ob tained the following: " What Billy says is true," said she. " I did agree to give up acting when I was mar ried, and I intended to when I prom ised, hut I couldn't get along with out it You see, I've been brought up to it, and could'nt help it That was the only cause of trouble be tween us. Same people have an idea he did not treat me well. That's all nonsense. There never was a more good-natured fellow in the world, and we're on the best of terms still, for that matter. He always comes to see me when he's in town, and never goes away without n nice little chat "Wy did I marry him? Well, that's just what I was asking myself to-night while I was dressing. I sup pose I had a mania for getting mar ried. They say it strikes ill girls sometime, and I think I was struck pretty hard. Then, he was a dar ling, handsome young fellow, and thought a good little mite of me. When he asked me if he could have me I told him I guessed he could. I was starring in the South in comic opera at the time, and be was with the Barlow, Wilson, Primrose and West company. I had known him for two yenrs, and I was three years youncer than I am now, which vou!d make me just well, never mind how old. 1 had trouble at home and was tired to death of one night stands aud cheap hotels, ar 1 thought I saw a good way to get ont of it all.

Both of us want the divorce, but I don't think we can get it until next May, when the third year of our separation will ex pire. " Its been an experience to me. and not a very unpleasant one, eith er. If it had not happened, I might have run across some person no where as rear as agreeable as Billy.

Tbe old steamer Beaver, the first Paatew') Teat Caaav Those American scientist, and others; who have been so deeply in terested in the practical application of Pasteur's discovery and who have had confidence in tbe correct eta of tbe principles on wbicti inoculation is baed, will greatly rejoice that there has at last been wh.it -ea J to be a test case. Three childreii in some town in Frtnce were bitten by a dog that gave every evidence of being afflicted with hydrophobia The parents of two of tha children refused to have them treated by any other method than simple cauterisa tion. The third child, the one moot severe!y bitten, was taken to Pan tear for treatment Ha inoculated tbe fiat ten t after the manner so frequent f and fully described, succew-ivtly for eight days. The two children who were not treated by Pasteur bave since died in the convulsions of hydrophobia, while the one treat ed by inoculation is in good health, and gives no evidence whatever of beintr threatened with the dreaded malady. This is tbe first of all the many cases treated by the Paris chemist j where there is an absolute certainty that the? d.hr intlinLin th ininrV j was really suffering with ruble. It seems to be as reliable a tent case as any Pasteur is likely to have for some time. Tbe thtee children ia question were bitten by the same an imal at the same time, but as ;n so many instances the dog was killed immediately after doing the injury, and there was the usual claim that he was merely a vicious brute. As stated above, the two victims that received only the ordinary treatment were soon seized with hydrophobia of the moot pronounced type, and died. The third one received the inoculation treatment aud will in all human probability be saved. This case leaves even no room for an argument from those who declare hydrophobia to be produced by fear gradually prostrating the nervous system. The children bitleu in this case were all too young to under stand anything about the disease, and when they received the injury were affected by it only in the same way as if they bad been hurt in any other manner. Fear of hydropho bia had nothing to do with these case9, and Pasteur certainly appears to have achieved a victory which will go far toward making his dis covery acceptable to the scientific world, ihis will be very much gained, for the skeptics have been very numerous.

While Judge Tracy was on the cir cuit, going from court to court a trace broke. The Judg spent over a half hour in trying to mend it, but to no purpose. His patience was exhaust ed, and he expressed Lis vexation in words. A negro came along, and the Judge told bim ot his trouble. The negro let out the trace, cut a hole in it and the job was done. " Why," said the Judge. " could I not have thought of that?" "Well, marster," said the negro, "don't you know some folks is jest naturally smarter than .'others? "That's so" said tbe Judge. "What shall I pay you for fixing my trace ?" "Well, marster, fifty cents will do," said the negro. Fifty cents !" said the Judge.
