A DILEMMA. Mr. Bertram Lmr sat on the arm of chair in the ball of the hotel at Nar borough and idly swung hi foot. Mr. Lamar w8 bored. An extended ac quaint noe '.th tbU young man force me to confess that Lee not oftn afflict ed in that way. We know that no man can aspire to be of the highest fashion without constancy eiperienciug the pangs of thin distingaihed ailment, and vet Mr. Lamar was unquestionably of the i-ighest htshion. The most cursory glance would tell you this. Any one could ee that be belonged to the best poople, that he was nJ to the be peo ple, that ouly the lU pfjple would be bearable to him- But row Le was gen- , ninely bo; el. Ladies passed old ones, who swept up the dust with trains, and who creak ed as they moved, as If they wanted oil ing; young onn in light frocks and wide, flowered Lata cast a shadow over the clearest eyea. They kept banging open the glass doors and going oat into the blaze of sun beyond, with a bursting into bloom of lace parasols, or coming into the cool of the hall, with the rustling, silken sheatingof the parasols suddenly furled and the tapping of little heels on the hard floor. He never glanced at them. Bat they did at him swiftly, ob liquelyfrom under their hat bnm, out of the shadow. He looked away, with raised chin and indolently drooped eye lids. There was one girl fibe kept going to and fro an J as he looked on the ground he could see the hem of her dress and her feet They were pretty feet in yellow shoes, small and pointed. Mr. Lamar found hiraself ruminating. "Sup pose the head is as pretty as the feet. Uut it never is. There's a law of com pensating which prevents that. The head which belongs to those feet is thirty-five." And he looked. The head matched the feet to perfection. Mr. La mar felt that he didn't look bored any longer. Rather, however, than sacrifice this dearly bought and enviable condi tion of being he turned his back on that enchanting head, and sauntered into an adjoining room. There would Le no one to look at there. The room was empty, cool and dim. It had oak chairs and tables and writing dks. sea green walls and a g eat wind ow opening on the balcony. Outside there were ladies of interesting ages sit ting under a forest of parasols. Beyond were velvety sweeps of close cropped turf, dappled with short shadows shrink ing to the tree roots. Splinters of dusty sunlight crept down the boles of the stately elms and trembled on the white drenjes of pacing girls. Mr. Lamar felt that he might gaze npon this prospect for an infinitude of time and remain bor ed. But fate willed otherwise. As he en tered the room he saw something on the floor near the table. He picked it up. It was a bard about an inch and a half wide, covered with puckered yellow rib bon, and with one end run through clasp of dull silver showing a monogram in small diamonds. There was a bunch of narrow yellow ribbon besides the clasp, each end finished with a little ton gueleas silver belL It appeared to Mr. Ijtrmar from some hanging filaments of thread that the two ends had once been stitched together. He looked curiously at this find. "What can it be?" he mused, staring at it. We have said that he was young, and came of the best people, and with the best people there is always a doubt as to whether they wear such vulgar things as stockings or possess such unmentionable things as legs. " Wings, not legs and feet tll . I -a .. Biia.i move mem," as tee poet gracefully expresses it. Lirmar first thought that be would tike it to the office, but curiosity com pelled him to study it: It might be worn round the neck, but not long enough. He drew the severed ends together and held it offfrora him, eyeing it dubiously and reflectively pulling bis small mustache. Oh, yes, of course: Now he saw. How dense he'd been ! A bracelet. Holding it together he pushed his hands through it and swung it on his wrist. "I don't think I ever saw a bracelet just like that before," he thought, moving it around and looking at it with his head on one side. And then, as he looked at it, came a sudden flish of wakening light, and for a moment he ttood staring at it in stupe fied horror as it hung oyer his wrist. With the return of consciousness he crumpled it up and crushed it into his pocket. What should he do with it. If be took it to the office the owner would never dare to claim it If he found out who she was he would never dare to offer it lie could imagine the scene. A lovel v and youthful lady is discovered walking m the corridors. To ber appears Mr. r-ertraai Lamar in full evening dress, with a white pink in bis buttonhole. Then drawing a package from bis pocket Mr. Lmar, presents it to ber murmur ing: -Yours, I believe," and vanishes through a trap door. The Laaars were fanioui for their chivalrous attitude toward thesex. What should he do to spare her feelings and his own? And be turned the cause of his perturbation over in his pocket. Just then he heard a sterj oi.Ui.lA. feminine step. With a guilty start he retreated from the table, fell into a chair and seized the mornin Daner in be buried his head. Anvone noting th. fact would of course imagine that he slumbered, and feel themselves safe from espial. "It is she," thought Bertram, seized with guilty tremors. "She lias come to bout for it," and Le remained motion Sj did she. There was not the slight est vibrating rustle from ber silent figure. Bertram rattled the paper, stabbed a little hole through it with bis finger and peeped at her. fc'he was standing in the doorway peeping about the room, and the was the young lady with the yellow duo?. 5-ne was cnamumgiy pretty in a hght drees or striped flannel and a loose ehirt of thin silk made like a boy's. Under the turndown collar was knotted a four-in-band necktie of white pique and about ber waist was a woven silk beltcksped with a silver 8. She was tlom !y sweeping the room w ith a long giant, only her bead moving, ber figure firmly erect, ber right thumb in her belt and her left band hanging by ber side and !ight!y clasping a little leather thong which wound about ber knuckles. As to her head that lovely bead witb strong Lrjwn hair curling np crisply nnder ber eai'.cr bat, delicately rounded cheeks and gravely pouting lips it was an image of o!t, delkious beauty. At her aide sat a little pog dog on its haunches, gasping and rolling its eyes. b cast a hurried glance at the gentle man readicg the paper and walked into the room looking intently about the floor. "What woul she say," thought Ber tram, as she passed him in ber search. "If I were to innocently ask her w hat she was looking for and gallantly offer to belp ber find it? But I'll spare ber that." j fc'he was certainly bunting thoroughly. I She moved several of the chairs, drew up the laoe curtains and looked under them and peeped into all the corners. When she had searched everwbere she straightened herself with a sigh, threw one last reluctant look about the room, and calling to the pug: "Come along, dearest; it isn't here." departed. Bertram laid down the paper and look ed after her. She appeared to bim to have a singular amount of sang froid also s very graceful back. Mr. Lamar was not bored that after noon. He was consumed with perplexi ty. How could he return the lost treas ure to the owner withont causing her em barrassment, without making ber bis enemy for life ? If it bad been anything else! bow delightfully be could have broken the ice with it! Eat U break the ice with that historic emblem im possible! "I must give it to ber this evening," he thought "111 wrap it up in paper and tie one of the ribbons round it that are on that handkerchief case Millygave me. Then, if she askt me as of course she will what is it, 111 say carelessly : "Oh, nothing ! Just a trifle I think belongs to yon. Dont harry to open it Have yon noticed what s beautiful night it is? And sd 111 engage her in absorbing con versation. But if the conversation is not sufficiently absorbing and she begins to open it I must flee from the wrath to come. And when next I meet ber, dying to speak or even bow to ber, there will be a wall of ice raised between us. She will turn ber profile toward me and become engrossed in the beauties of the land scape. Such is the irony of fate," At 7 o'clock Mr. Larmer come slowly down the broad stairs, looking as band some as a young Dionysins, in bis dress suit, bis shining shirt bosom and a white pink in his buttonhole. The ball was full of moving figures and a blaze of light and color. Mr. Lamar was too perturbed to mingle with the gay, loud voiced, laughing crowd. He wished for solitude and di rected bis steps toward the little writing room. He bad not wrapped the treas ure in paper, nor tied it with a ribbon from bis handkerchief case. He bad not done anything with it He had not done anything w ith it He did not dare. The sight of its owner might inspire him to the desperate pitch of boldly offering it to ber ; or suggest to bim some cunning way of returning it without betraying the identity of the finder. With these ideas in his mind be carried it still in bis pock et in company w ith bis keys. The gas in the writing room was not lit Mr. Lamar went to the open wind ow. Just outside it on the balcony was the young lady who bad worn the yellow shoes. She was reading and rowing, her pug in ber lap, and if she was pretty in her flannel morning dress words cannot describe her in a mist of fine black gauze cut square around her neck, and showing her arms to the elbow. Her skin was as white and flawless as a blanched almond. There was the gleam of a gold pin from the shadow of her dark hair, and a jewel hanging around her neck rose and fell w ith ber quiet breath. As she read she absently pulled the pug's ears, which lay with its eyes half open and its head against ber bead. Lamar looked around. She turned the page. The pug, disturbed, rose to its fore paws, gazed at her with an expression of idiotic fondness, and tried to lick her chin. She avoided this demonstration ofaflection by moving ber chin from side to side, keeping her eyes still oa the book. The pug continuing, she struck it gently, observing. "Don't, ycu bad, little, abominable dog!" "I beg your pardon," said Lamar sud denly from the window. The lady looked np with raised eye brows of polite inquiry. "I have something ofyour3, said the yomg man desperately and in a low tone. "Yes? What is it?" "I I don't quite know. Or rather Well -But Urn! I didn't like to leave it at the office. I thought" He leaned out of the window with bis closed hand extended. "Here it is." She held out ber hand, and be drop ped it in. She looked and gave an ex clamation of joy that caused the pug to jump to the ground. "Oh, how glad I am ! Thanks so much Thanks awfully. I was afraid it was lost. Isn't that lucky? and she look affection ately at the returned treasure with her bead on one side. There was light enough to see ber face distinctly. She did not exhibit a sign of embarrassment, not the ghost of a blush. Lamar felt a sudden chill of disappoint ment "You found it there ?' she said, indi cating the riling room, and looked at him with frank, candid eyts. "Yes, there's w here it was lost." "I I suppose so," said Lamar, with a wan smile. "I looked for it myself this morning all over," 6he continued, "under everything, but it was gone." "Yes," said the young man, with a fatuously inquiring air. "If she knew I was behind the paper she'd ask me why I didn't give it to her then and there and what the deuce would I say V "I value this very much," she went on, turning it over in ber hand. "I should imagine so." "You see, there is only one like it There is not a single duplicate any where." She looked smilingly into his face. Lamar stared at her in stupefied horror. "Only one did you say?" he man aged to articulate in a faint voice. "Only one," she repeated, nodding her bead. "It was made to order." There" was a moment of silence. Lamar made no comment, but continued to stare vacantly at her. He was think ing : "It must have been an accident She can't be a veteran of war." "When you have only one, and that such & pet." she continued, not Dotice ing his silence, you like to have every thing as pretty as possible." "Yes, yea. Of course, of course, ejacu lated .Lamar, laughing idiotically. "If you have .only one, I expect it must be somewhat of a treasure," he thought Then be added boldly, but witb the air of confiding a piece of news, "I have two." "Two T said the young lady, with vi vacious interest " W hat k ind V I-aoiar looked askance at ber alarmed silence. Was she doubly affiicted? She as stroking the pug w ith the tips of ber fingers, and there was nothing in ber placid expression to suggest mania of any form. "The same as everybody else's," he answered with some hauteur. "Are the people in this i art of the country in the habit of managing with one?" i"As a rule, they have only one ; its so much less bother. Though, to be sure, I have a friend who has let me see yes, eleven. "She must be a centipede," thought Lamar. "I seem to be encountering re markable freaks of nature. There is a fortune waiting here for any one who wants to start a museum." Then be re maiked aloud, regarding her with bis head on one side, a tolerant, fond smile on his lips. "There mast be quite an "embarrass de ricbesse." esDociallv when you're walking." "They do get ia the way," admitted the young lady, "but most of them are well trained." Very clever of tbeii, I am snre, mur mured Lamar, feeliDg thrt he was about to swoon. There was another short silence, dur ing which the girl continued to examine her restored treasure. Presently she said, musingly : "I see the threads are broken. She has broken them once be fore, though I don't see bow she can pos sible do it" Lamar only started and swallowed. She held his glance with a horrible, eerie fascination. "You know she loves to run to me," she prattled cn. "She ran away from me this morning, and when she came back it was gone. She must have crept under the table and not come out until she had got it off." "Who ia she V asked Lamar in a troubled voice. "She? Why, Bobo my pug. Isn't he a beauty ? Come np here, Bobo patting her knee. 4I want to 'put your collar on, and show this genteman, who was kind enough to return it, bow pretty yoa look when you're all dressed np." She held the band around the dog's neck, and turning to Lamar, said with laugh ing archness, "Isn't it becoming?" Lamar sat down on the window sill He took np the morning paper and be- (an to fan himself with it, though the evening bsd grown unmistakably cool. G trading Boiaier in Sew York Journal. Mr. Van Feit. editor of the Craig, Mo.' Jttcor, went to a drug store at Hillsdale, Iowa, and asked the physician in attend ance to give bim a dose of something for cholera morbus and looseness of the bowels. He eavs : " I felt so much bet ter the next morning that I concluded to call on the physician and get bim to fix me np a supply of the medicine. I was surprised when he handed me a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy. He said he prescribed it regularly in his practice and found it the best be could get or prepare. I can testify to its efficiency in my case at all events." A KINDER OF CRIME. The Value of the Microscope In Noted Murder Trials. From the Chicago HeraiJ. In distinguishing human blood on a knife or razor from rust or from that of another animal, discovering particle of poisonous matter invisible to the naked eye and in various other ways the mi croscope has rendered invaluable assist ance to justice. In 1So3 a murder of an unusually bru tal character was committed in Cumber land, England. The murdered man, the paymaster of a colliery, bad been way- kid in a lonely spot, bis throat cut from ear to ear and bis body flung nnder a hedge. Circumstantial evidence of a very incriminating nature was brought against the prisoner. He had been seen near the spot of the murder about the time the deed was done and bad attempt ed to disguise himself by cutting off bis whiskers, but jurors are very reluctant to convict on circumstantial evidence alone, and the circumstances in this case, though very incriminating, were not thought sufficiently conclusive. THK MUROSrXJPE AK fSEP.BIXO WITNESS. A learned microscopist, on examining the prisoner's trousers found several spots of human blood, the largest being not so large as a swan shot Around these spots were traces of soap, evident signs of the spots having been attempt ed to be washed out, while over one or two ink bad been spread. The ivory handle of ara.tor found in the prisoner's possession was also smeared-witb human blood. A very severe cross-examination left the witness's evidence unshaken. He showed that the corpuscles or glob ules of human blood can be easily dis tinguished by an expert from those of any other animal, those found in the hu man blood being each about 1-3300 cf an inch in diameter, those cf a sheep being about 1-700 of an inch, of a dog, 1-2542, etc A verdict of guilty was found and the man exst-uted. Another proof of the wonderful detect ive powers of the microscope was given at the Chelmsford Spring Assizes. This was also a case of murder, the victim be ing an old woman living alone and hav ing a considerable amount of money in her bedchamber. The back of her head was beaten in, no doubt by means of a large hammer, and tlie bead nearly sev ered from her body. The footprints around the house coincided with the im prints of the prisoner's boots ; the ham mer found beside the murdered woman's bed was declared by a neighbor lo have been seen in his po.-sessi.ra; a little girl had seen him come from the bouse on the morning of the murder, and most conclusive proof cf all in a brook a mile or more from the old woman's house was found a pocket handkerchief and tightly rolled in it a razor covered with blood, which it was proved belonged to the pris oner. The defense argued .- Assuming the razor and handkerchief belonged to the prisoner, and the blood upon them was human, they may have had nothing to do with this murder, having been found a considerable distance from the murdered woman's house. The micro scope answered the question in s most conclusive manner. Upon the blade of the razor, besides the blood marks, were found a few fibres of flax and cotton. On inspecting the murdered body it was found that the razor had partially sever ed one of the strings of the woman's nightcap, which string was composed of a mixture of cotton and flax. PEUVISG GTILT A NO INNOCENCE. Another remarkable illustration may ba given of the important part played by the microscope in securing the convic tion of a murderess. Not many years ago a female child about i years of age was found murdered by a deep gash in the throat in a small plantation near Xor which. Suspicion fell npon the mother, who had been seen by Beveral persons leading the child to the place where the crim? had been committed. Upon the worn in being searched a long and sharp knife was found, which on close examin tion revealed a bit of fur or hair on the handle. When asked to explain how the fur came there the prisoner brazenly re plied : " Yes I dire say there is, and very likely tome stains of blood, for, as I came home, I found a rabbit fast in a snare and cut his throat wuh the knife." The truth telling microscope cast a differ ent light upon the subject The micro scopist, on separating the handle from the blade, found between the two a quan tity of human blood, and asserted that the fur was that of a squirrel. The strange fact was revealed that around the child's neck, when the murder was be ing done, was a tippet over which the murderer's knife must have passed, and which was made of a squirrel's fur. A few years ago a man was on the point of being sentenced to death, the principal evidence against him being that he was seen near the scene of the murder and bad in his possession a knife "covered with blood." The microscope discovered the si called blood to be simp ly lime juice. Facts About Plants. Some well-esUh! ished and interesting facts in botanical history relates to the origin of familiar plants. The ancestor of the large and fleshy cabbage was a Teri table pigmy a small plant weighing altogether scarcely half an ounce ; a di minutive little vegetable, reddish in col or and bitter in taste, baa been metamor phosed into the inestimable potato ; the sweet, juicy Altringham carrot, weighing from five to six pounds, is in a wild con dition, a dry, slender root unfit to eat ; the delicate, well-flavored Vienna glass caclirapi, as large as a man's fist, is when wild a slender, woody, dry stem ; the the cauliflower in its natural locality is a thin-branched flowering stem, with little green, bitter flower-buds. That the luscious peach bas been de rived from the hard-shelled almond can no longer be denied. It is said that the peach in its original soil was a virulent poison and that the Persian warriors brought to Persia some of the seeds and planted them for the purpose of poison ing the points of their arrows so as to render the wounds caused by them to be fatal, but a change of climate and soil produced a fruit which is not only lus cious, but is esteemed exceedingly healthful. The small black sloe bas been trans formed into the juicy and golden-yellow gage plum, and the most delicious pip pins owe their origin to the diminutive, acrid crab-apple. The savory cantaloup in a wild state in India varies from the size of a plum and tkat of a lemon and in most cases is either insipid or bitter. In Sicily there is a wild grass which, when ripe at the end of the summer, is gathered by the peasantry, tied in bun dles, and set on fire, not, however, to be consumed, but for a mere scorching. The flanio flies rapidly through th e light busks and beard of the plant and leaves the seed slightly roasted, in which state they are eaten with considerable relish by numbers of the rural popula tion. What the Sicilians do with their grass might be done witb other grasses and in other countries were it not tlihX the seeds generally are too small to re pay the trouble of producing them for food. If all were but as large as those oi corn, or even wheat and barley, we should bear few complaints of dear bread. Instances, indeed, are on record of grass seeds having been largely eaten in times of scarcity and with the desired effect of sustaining life, for all are more or less floury. The botanical name of this Sicilian grass is -Egilops, or 'goat'.i eye the Greeks having believed it to be a remedy for a disease that appears in one corner of the eye. There are three or four species growing all around the Mediterranean as well as in the islands, chiefly on the hot, dry, sandy plains near the sea. They flourish even on the scorched volcanic soils, in strange contrast to the arid and barren surroundings showing that the vi tal principle in them ia unusually ener getic and proof against extremes of heat. One sjiecies, the -Kgilops orata, as though sporting with its powers, is said to shoot out another species the Triticoides, or wheat-like from one and the same root; not by artificial cultivation, but sponta neously. But the most remarkable fact concern ing this queer plant, the goat's-eye, is that it has been proven by experiment to be the parent of cultivated wheat This fact was occidentally discovered by a French agriculturalist He wished to determine what effect cultivation would have upon the goat's-eye, and planted re mote from any fields of grass that might mingle with it a few of the seeds. The first crop showed much difference from the original, being two or three times taller and more grains to the stalk. At the end of seven years' experimenting the yield was over 300 grains for each one planted, and the transformation was complete every plant was a true repre sentative of cultivated wheat. Later he sowed them in open fields, and in no in stance have they returned to the form of the original goat's-eye grass. The same experiments have since been tried by the English Agricultural Society with the same results. The nearest form to true wheat now found wild is the creeping couch-grass, a perennial closely agreeing in all essential particulars of structure with our cultivated annual wheat.

By reason of his skillful maneuvering and great adroitness, Mr. Billings had lived to the age of forty-nine without becoming a benedict; but in an -unguarded moment the (-iscipliae of a lifetime availed him nothing. It was on a May morning that he strolled into a garden, with Miss Tenie McGinnis, a spinster of forty-eight. They sat down on a garden bench, and Mr. Billings unwittingly said : "See those robins building their nest in that old apple tree." "Oh, Mr. Billings r but Billings, seem ing to have lapsed into idiocy, rambled on. "Don't you like lo see little birds mate?" "Oh, Mr. Billings, how you do talk P' "Ileally, Miss McGinnis, I-" "Oh, Mr. Billings:" "'o;but really, Miss McGinnie, I'm in earnest. I love to " "Oh, you naughty man. And did yoa bring me out here to say this to me? Oh, Mr. Billings!" "Why, I only said that I love" "Oh oh ! it's all so sudden. "What shall I say? I I suppose you'll jatt make me say yes." "Why, woman, I-" "I suppose I could be ready in a mouth, if you really insist on it, dear George." "See here, MLa " "Hush, darling! someone is coming." And when their hostesH appeared, Miss McGinnis blushed, and said with down cast eyes: "We're engaged." And Bil lings hadn't the nerve to deny it so they were married.
