Ait Adventure That Tried the Nerves of Three Young Girls. BY JAM lis C. Pl'KIiY. At home Aunt Ellen F.M was Honie- tliiti of an invalid, and never tbuugLit of taking long walks; but thing are dilli-rcnt out in Colorado; thi-re after one becoiiiea aecu.xtoinetI to tlie change. f.at.-t undreamed of are easy to acconi plinlu S, thU luoruing, Aunt Ellen was nut for a mountain rumble, and she did not even lean ou the strong anu of her niece, Agnes. "We will go to the edge of Tunnel Cut, and see the F'lving Eagle Express go by," naid Agues. Her father, Superintendent Murdoch, wax an iuiortant man In that tart of the railroad world, aud of course rail road allairs had the first place in her interest. "The Flying E tgie? Is that the one they have ju-t uncaged'."' "Ve-, the new train that father sjoke of la-! evening. He say it will be a recot I-maker, the fxs'.ent train tltat ever rau oil this road. It makes its tlrst run 'onlay, and will be worth look ing at when it goes tearing through the cut. It is due to pa-v- there at H.Xl; we have twenty minttnytt. Here come the Wilson ijirlbr' Two girls met them. Pretty girls they were, aud the:r manner and ap pearance won Aunt Ellen's smiling aj proval, even In' that moment of meet ing. And yet there was a di Herein of manner that made iLolf felt at once; one of them threw a straight, frank, smiling look into the eyes she met, a look that promised good will and in vited liking; the other smiled as pleas antly, but a frown lurked close beside her smile, ready to come when called. This one carried her head with a little tilt that gave aud accepted challenges. 'Sisters, of course," said Aunt Ellen, "and with the difference that one often sees iu sisters" "No, they are cousins; but you are rightabout the difference. Really, I don't see how even cousins can le so opposite as tho-ie two girls are. Jes sie she's the one that expects you to be her friend, and takes care that you don't disappoint her is mad of gold; you can't help liking her, aud you don't want to help iL Marian, the one with a chip on her shoulder, is made of well, of something else! She is all the time looking for enemies and in juries, and it isn't her fault if ate doesn't find thetu!"' "People generally find what they look for, in the Imj run," said Aunt Fallen. "Hut iierhaps things are not juite so bad as you imagine iu that quarter." 'Worse! I kuow that sounds dread ful, but I can't help it. I dou't like Marian Wilson, never did, and I never will!" "Never will, nor never shall?" "Iloth; I couldn't like her iff want ed to; I'm sure I never shall; and I'm jierfectly certain that I don't want to like her, ai'd that means I never wilL" Agues said this with a little toss of her head, and waited for the reprimand that her words invited. But there was no reprimand; thethrewd eyes behind Aunt Flleu's si'eotacles gave no answer whatever, and this old lady had the rare faculty of absolute speechlessness at proper times. This was oue of the limes that she selected for the exercise .f that faculty; she knew that a sermon is not always the best medicine for a young girl, even wheu mediciueof some sort seems needed. Presently Agnes began again: "I don't believe that you would want to like her, either, Aunt Flllen. There are some jajople that you can't want to like, you know." She waited again; Annt Ellen simp ly listened with polite attention for the next remark. To argue agaiust mere passive silence Is disconcerting; besides Agnes felt that her Indictment of Mar ian Wilson was iu a fair way to become a defense of herself, aud that was not at all what she had in her mind; so she gave it up and found something else to talk about. Then Aunt Fallen's tongue was loosened at ouce. They reached the side of Tunnel Cut ten minutes before the F'lying Fagle was due, and sat down on a rock to wait, aud to enjoy the magnificent fcctnery. There Is enough lieauty here to keep rue occupied till the Eagle turns around and comes back!" Aunt Fallen declar ed with enthusiasm. Tunnel Cut had been blasted down omei SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18. 1807. into the side of a Uld mountain spur, and it formed the approach to the long tunnel through the mass of the foot hill. The cut was not very long, but it was deep, aud the sides of it were simp ly two rocky precipices. In one place a little ravine, which seamed the moun tain side, crossed the cut, and there for a narrow space, the bottom and the top of the great ditch were a good deal closer together. "We could have a better view of the train down there," Agnes suggested, pointing down to tiie little hollow. "You won't find it very hard getting down there; you can sit comfortably ou that shoulder of rock, aud ii won't be so much like looking dowu from, a balloou." "This is certainly better," Aunt 111 leusaid, wheu they had reached the new vantage poiut; "the balcony in stead of the top gallery. Hut why are those women dowu there ou the track? Is it usual here for people to stroll into a tunnel to meet an express train?" "What women? Where?" Agues was on her feet ill a second, looking where Aunt Kllvn had pointed. "Oh, what do they mean? Ix they want to commit suicide? The Wilson girls as sure as you live! They are great geolo gists, aud they are after siccimeiis. They have time enough to get out be fore the train comes, if they go right back." "They had better be about "it, then," said Aunt Fallen auxiously. "They have only seven minutes now. Hut they have uo intention of going back; they are going on towards the tunnel." "Oh, how crazy!" Then Agnes drojs. Icd dowu beside her aunt, ale and limp with sudden fear. "They don't kuow!" she gasped. "They haven't heard of the F lying Fligle! They think there's nothing betweeu the S.50 ex press in the morning aud the l-i ex press in the afternoon. What shall we do? Girls! Girls!" She knelt down, leaning far out over the side of the cut, aud, making a trumpet of her hands, sent her clear, far-sounding cry down to the two girls. "Hack, Jessie! Hun for your lives! (Set out of the cut and olf the track! Hxirvsrtis almost due. Uun! Uuu!" Hot Ii the girls searched the air in sur prise for the giver of that warning, aud seeing who it was, were sure it meant a joke. A second afterwards, however, Jessie understood that the pale fright ened face of her friend meant desjier atc earnestness. "Come, Marian!" she cried, and started to ruu towards the mouth of thu cut. f..:nn . ., i i . i i . siajru v iieirsiie was, aim sent i a laugh after Jier Hying companion. Hut, looking up agaiu at Agues, she saw something in the two agitate! faces above her that roused fear in her, and she rau after her cousin. She was wonderfully fleet of foot, and iu an in stant the two were together; at that rate of speed there was no doubt thai. they would both be able to wiu safety. "They have just five minutes and a half," said Agnes, looking at her watch "aud they cau run to the mouth of the cut in three. Come back to our seat. Aunt Fallen; that little scare made me tired." They turned towards the rock, but had not taken the second step wheu screams from below reached their ears. They looked back over their shoulders. and both stood so for an instant, rigid aud breathless with a new terror. The two girls lay together across the track in the dt'-t part of the cut; in their blind hurry one had stumbled and both had been thrown dowrt;appareutly the fall had disabled both, for neither of them got upon her feet. "Turn your back to the cut, Aunt," Agues said calmly; she was very Iale, but as steady as the rocks about them. "Don't look at us. There's only ono thing to do, and I must do it. I can get dowu there, and I tbink I can help one of them out before tiie traiu comes. Good-bye." 'I won't try to keep you, my child. God help you!" Aunt Ellen kissed her, and thought she knew how mothers feel that send their sons to battle; then, instead of turning her back to the cut, she watch ed them all with tear-di ruined eyes and a throbbing heart. In the wall of the cut, below the bot tom of the cross-ravine, were two or three sharp projections of rock, one be low another; they were rude stes by which a very ture-footed person might, make way for some little distanc downwards. Agues was as sure footed as a chamois, aud as active; and before Aunt Fallen winked the tears from her eyes the girl was on the lowest of these rock stejtti. Poising there for a second to steady herself, site leaped lightly off to the bottom of the cut. It was a rather long jump, but she made it in safety, and an instant later was run ning swiftly towards the two girls. Neither of them had got up yet; it seemed incredible that both of them could be rendered so helpless by simp ly falling down; if they were insensi ble, or could do nothing to help them selves, then, after all, she could d nothing to help them; at best she could only be a crutch, for support and assist ance. She could not lift one of thosu girls bodily and run out of the cut with her! Already it began to look as if the F'lying 1'agle would have three instead of two for its prey. At the very utmost she could only help oue of the girls to safety. Aguex thought desperately of that as she flew over the short space that separated her from them. Which should it be? lb would lie a horrible thing to leavo Jessie, her friend, the girl she loved, to Lie ground under those merciless wheels. Hut to leave Marian there, the girl she did not like, and had just spoken ill of that would seem like actual murder. Which should it be? "Jessie! Marian! Girls!" She cried out frantically to them a. she came nearer. They both answered her, and she saw that both were mov ing, apparently struggling to get upon their feet, "Come!" she cried, taking one by the arm and pulling vigorously to raise her. "Come! I can help you to get out of the cut, but we must hurry. We haven't more than three minutes to do it iu! Comer' Marian Wilson sprung to her feet, ra active and as vigorous as she had ever set ESTABLISHED 1827. been in her life. It was Marian's arm that Agnes had taken hold of, and Marian was looking into her face with strange, sharply iuquiry. "I'm so glad you came!" she said in the next breath; and Agnes was sur prised to hear how cordial aud friend ly her voice could be. "Poor Jessie lias sprained an ankle, aud I was in despair about getting her out, for I can't lift her. I've tried aud tried. Hurt? I? Not a bit. We were both n! united for the first second, but since then I've been trying to get Jessie up. Ijean all you like on me, Jessie. N ow put your other arm over Agnes's shoulder; so. Now take long hops, and dou't mind the hurting!" They had been working with frantic sieed, not wasting a fraction of a sec ond; they had lifted Jessie upon her sound foot, and now were ready for a desperate race. "Comer' cried Agnes. "I hear the express whistling at the other end of the tunnel, aud it is the fastest train that was ever on this mad! Hurry! Hurry r' "Goon, girls," said Jessie, loosen ing her arms about their necks. "Han aud save yourselves. I wou't have you" "Stop talking, and hop!" Marian or dered sharply, running forward with all the pjieed possible under the cir cumstances. "Aren't we trying to save ourselves?" To have her courage and constancy taken for granted in this way by the suspicious and sharp-tongucd Marian W'ilson was taken by Agnes to le uoth- ing less than a compliment. Aud this same Marian Wilson had apparently not even thought of running olf to save her own life while she still had plenty of time, but had stayed loyally by her comrade, and would stay by her to death, if death it must lie. Perhaps she had not been so well acquainted with Marian as she had thought. In the meantime Aunt Fallen was watching them with straining eyes from her erch at the top of the cut, counting the seconds as they were tick ed off by her watch. Fivery tiling was done so swiftly that hops had plenty of encouragement. She heard the whistle of the approaching train, ami her heart sunk within her; but there were still three good minutes before 9.3.1, and the girls were almost at t lie mouth of the cut now, aud going at au incredible rate. "They w ill get out! Oh, they must get out!" The words were a fervent pray er in Aunt Ellen's heart.- "And Agnes was going to help Marian first; I could see that. I'm glad I didn't preach to to her. There! They have got there! fhey have turned oil tiie track: They are safe! They're safe!" When the Flying F'jgle whizzed through Tunnel Cut, Aunt Ellen did not even see it. She was on her knees, her face buried iu her hands. Agnes found her there wheu she came back a little later. Everything is all right, Auut," the girl reported in a matter-of-fact tone. "Jessie's ankle is pretty bad, but she is one of the pluckiest girls I ever saw. She didn't even say ouch! wheu we were pulling her along over the ties. Did the F'lying Ivigle come up to ex jKi'tatioiis? I dttlu't have time to look." Aunt Ellen had no words ready for use yet. l)j you know, Aunt," Agnes, said, as they walked homewards, "I I don't feel piite the same about Mariau Wil son. I I think " "Yes, dear," said Auut Fllleu softly, "I know." She' a Good Lawyer. Miss Cora It. Hirtzel, the Assistant Corporation Counsel of the city of Chi cago, was not appointed because she is a woman, but because of her ability, as a lawyer in preparing case for court and in making br.efs and arguments. Miss Hirtzel is a native of Illinois, having been born at Ottawa; but she afterward removed to Wisconsia aud read law at Oakland in the offices of Jackson &, Thompson aud ex-Judge Gary. Having come to Chicago teu years ago she went iuto the office of the Hou. W. C. Goudy, says the Illustrat ed American, and took a regular course at the Chicago Law School and grad uated therefrom in 1S'J). F'ive years ag.) she began making a specialty of briefing, and though some probate aud other practice casually came to her she preferred to study and work out legal propositions rattier than actual plead ing in court. It is the first time a woman has ever been appointed to the position of as sistant corporation counsel in the great city of Chicago; but judging from the reputation of the law firms for which she has prepared briefs in many im Iiortaut cases aud the strong editorial commendations of the Chicago I-gul News, it is evident that Miss Hirtzel is eminently qualified for the honorable oitiou she has U-en called to fill. Relics of Napoleon. Some curious things are to be seen in tiie military and Napoleonic mu seum opened a few. weeks ago in Paris at the Hotel ties Invalides by the War Minister. The collection was organiz sed by General Yausou, and is called Ise Musee de PArmee. Napoleon relics seem to preponderate, and have been gathered from various sources. The museum is in the Louis XIV room, and among the first objects that strike the attention is oue of the little hats worn by the first Napoleon. Then there is a fac simile of the humble lodging of Hyuaparte at Auxonue, when he was a lieutenant, and near it the receptacle in gilded bronze wherein rested tha body of the Fliuperor on board the lielle Poule while being brought back from St. Helena by the Prince de Joinville. Also visible are a fragment of the tomb at St. Helena, a lump of the rock aud branch of a tree from around the grave, drawiugs of the spot in the At lantic islands where the Fnperor'a body was temporarily buried,, a crown oll'ered by the city of Cherbourg for the coffin, the bit whampad by Napoleou'a charger at Waterloo, and finally, ob jects owned by the young Duke of It-lchsladt, called Napoleon II and King of Home. II A TALK ON FRUIT TREES. The Bearing Tear of the Peach and the Apple. Prom the Philadelphia lUcord. It is seldom that an apple orchard gives a good crop of fruit two years in succession unless under skillful man agement, but the jieach will produce an annual crop under favorable condi tions. Unfortunately for peach trees, however, they are suhject to so many influences that the conditions are even less favorable than for apple or pear. The jieac h has a large seed in proportion to pulp, and the drain ou the trees, when the crop is large, is very severe. Peach trees, iu proportion to size and aije, perform more work of production than any others, and the exhaustion of the tree aud surrounding soil is due to the rapid growth of new wood and the large number of seeds when a crop is very heavy. Half a centurv ago, when the varieties were fewer and "volun teer" trees Appeared from seed thrown in out-of-the-way places, the farmer sometimes secured a desirable kind; but more frequently the fruit was lack ing in quality, tiie trees being hardier, however, than those now in use. Tiiis is due to the fact that diseases of the ieach are spread by budding from trees that are apparently healthy but which are diseased. In order to seen re qual ity something had to te sacrificed, and it was hardiness. Formerly the jH-aeh trees lived for twenty years or more, but at the present day they Icgin to fail aud die before the orchard Is five years old. EFKWl'.S I K Cl.l M ATK. The climate has much to do with suc cess. There are now "pra-;i belts," but these lielLs do not remain station ary. Iu locations where the jieacli once thrived the trees no longer give good results. Tiiis fact has received much attention from horticulturists, though but little light has been thrown tipoii it. Mr. J. F. Taylor, of Michi gan, who has studied the suhject care fully, concludes that exhaustion of the soil of those elements lest suites! for the jH-ach is the prim cause of failure, aud that wheu a tree bears abundantly t wo years in succession it must recuiierate, as the strain is too severe. A dry sum mer, which ripens the fruit buds in early autumn, if followed by a warm October and a cold winter, is injurious. V very mild winter, which may cause the sap to flow freely, if follows J by zero weather in March, is also more or less an obstruction to good results, aud early blooming, followed by cold, wet weather, which is often productive of leaf curl, causes the young fruit t drop and leads to unfruiu'ulness. Heavy rains while the trees are iu bloom, and the depredations of insects, are also de trimental, but the cli.uate is the main ca use of mst failurts. MCl.KtT AM t TLTIVATIOX. Trees should not be neglected, and a crop of grass may ruiu a cach orchard; hence cultivation is necessary, yet it Is not advisable to force young tries too rapidly in growth. As a rule the apple tree makes more growth of wood during oil-bearing years than when a full crop is produced, and the peach tree also grows a large nortion .f new wood, which adds further to exhatistii.ii. If this large amount of wsd is not cut back the roots w ill be taxed to supply extra sup and to feed more buds and fruit than can be properly performed. Old wood that is useless also injures the tree to a certain extent. Pruning the peach tree, even cutting back severely, is usually beuellcial, and thinning out the fruit, so as to prevent overproduc tion, will prolong its existence. If the orchard is on a field that was in clover sod, and plowed under, but little nitro genous fertilizer will be required, but the orchard demands liberal applica tions of potash and phosphates. As much as 3X) pounds of bone meal per acre Is not an excess, and JK) pounds of sulphate of potash may be applied. Woexl ashes is an excel.eut form of potash, and as ashes are rich iu lime they are letter than the p itas'.i salts, half a ton per acre being a moderate allowance. Fruit and Digestion. Why do we at the end of a heavy dinner eat cooked fruits? Simply le cause the acids aud peptones in the fruit a"sist in digesting the fats so abundant in this kind of food. When we want their digestive action tvtu more develnjK-d, we take them after dinner in their natural uncooked state as dessert. In the past ages instinct has taught men to do this, while to day science tells them why they did it, and this same science tells us that fruit should le eaten as an aid to digestion of other foods more thau it is now. Cultivated fruits, such as apples, pears, cherries, strawberries, grain's, etc., con tain ou analysis very similar pro(Mr tions of the same ingredients. Diges tion depends upon the action of pepsin in the stomach on the food, which is greatly aided by the acids of the stom ach. F'ats are digested by these acids and the bile from the liver. Now, the acids aud peptones in fruit peculiarly assist the acids of the stomach. Only lately it is said that even royalty has been taking lemon juice iu tea instead of sugar, and lemon juice has bten prescribed largely by physicians to help weak digestiou simply because these acids exist very abundantly iu the lemon. New Yord Ledger. Good Grammar, Good Sense. The order that the managers of the Lynn & Hoston Hail way company have given to their drivers and conductors ou the subject of addressing female passengers is both sensible and gram matical. The habit of addressing a woman as "lady" is absurd. If a con ductor were to address a male passen ger he would not say: "Here, gentle man, is the place where you want to get out out," but, if he wished to be polite, would use the word "sir" in stead of the word "gentlemen." It is obvious that, in order to be grammati cal, the word "madame," rather than the won! "lady," should lie employed if the observation is addressed to a female passenger. Huston Herald. erala. The Story of a Crime. A few weeks ago Boston was startled by a daring crime. The criminal, a lad of about nineteen, eluded capture for three days, in spite of all the de tectives and a soore of eager new spaiier correspondents. What crime had this 3'oung man committed that he should lie hounded by the law and by the press? He had stolen over thirty thou sand dollars from a national bank, and in the simplest way. He had been the trusted messenger of the bank. Every day large sums had been given into his keeping. One morning he left his home without any intention of doing wrong. He went to the jiost-ofiice, as usual, and reported with the bank's mail. At 1 o'clock he started on his regular tour, as a messenger, from bank to bank. Up to this time he had outwardly been an honest lad. On the way from a clearing-house lo a bank, the temptation at once to take money suggested itself. In a few min utes he would have thousands of dol lars iu his sKses.siiu. It would take a lifetime of hard work for him to ac cumulate that amount of money. He begau to fetl as if he were wronged. He was only earning a dollar and a quarter a day. This, as he thought, unjust inequality, he could now easily remedy. Hilt his conscience was not dead. A cold shiver ran over him. He stagger ed along, hardly heeding where lie went. Conscience battled with his temptation. The resistance to do evil became less as the battle went en, end each moment the crim? Iiecame less repulsive. At last the batiks had all been visited, and lie must deliver the money that he had collected. What should he do? Iv- inain honest or lie eome the dishonest possessor of wealth? He was iu a fever of doubt and hesita tion. He looked up at the 'lH-k. It was nan. Already the officers had probably begun to inquire a'out Mm. His wavering had consumed an hour of time. He still paused in doubt. He turned back in despair. Then some thing snapped in his heart, he said, and he dashed down the street like a pariah d g. In a few moments he was at the ruilr.iud station, and there hoarded a train, w ilho it much consid eration as to whither it went. He had now cast b-ehi'id him an honorable life, and was a felon fleeing from the law. And, as he said when he was caught, a few days after, he could not tell the reason why. Hut there was a reason why. There is little mystery about it. According to the young man's own confession, the temptation t- steal fr.ni t!ie Iv.ii'k. hal come to him some time before he committed the crime. He saw what au easy thing it was to run away with au independent property, and he men tioned the matter to two of his young friends. "Dou't do itT' they both advised. "iKm't do it for your life!" So he put the deed away for the time, but the thought of it, the plan ning of it, he allowed to remain with him; aad this explains the mystery of his sin. Our habits of thought make us what we are. To iliink of wrong-doing witli a desire to do wrong is oue form of evil. It is the preliminary step. which may lead at any moment of temptation to op.'ti degradation. As my thoughts are, so will my life Iv, is an inexorable law that no juggling can modify and uo repentance, however bitter, cau annul. Youth's Compan ion. Virtue in a Flap;. This is a great place to hear the veter ans of the war recount their exicrieiiees, says a Wasnington correspondent of the Northlield (Miun.) News. I was present the ciher day when Captain W. II. II. Wassoii and Captain Wise met. Captain Wasson is one of the few men wh enlisted when the first gun was fired and stayed until it was all over, and he was mustered out in lio. Al though he carries the scars of wounds made by several rebel bullets, he is to day one of the most active veterans I ever met. Captain Wise is of the con federate army. After spiritedly relating what great satisfaction each had experienced in chasing one another's commands over various battle fields. Captain Wise was reminded of an incident which he wit nessed iu a confederate hospital. A Yankte had been brought in whose leg was shattered by a liall. The surgeons were about to amputate his leg, but paused to listen to his story. He had been a preacher, but when he enlisted he did not feel that he would be doing his duty if he went out as a chaplain, so he served as a private and was now fearfully wounded. He closed his story to the surgeotu by saying: "If I could only know that the Stars and Stripes were waving over me I could die happy." A Confederate soldier was standing near and he listened to the talk of the Yankee, and he reached over and took a federal flag and waved it over the wounded man and said: "Now die you, die; why don't you die?" The man declined to die, and is alive to-day. The flag which was w aved over him Is now a prized relic, carefully guarded in a glass case, which stands iu the capitol of a Northern State.

A B tston jwe!cr, who has a talent f..r advertising, as well as a genius for mechanics, has lie-en remin ling his patrons, lately, that a watch is the smallest, most delicate machine that was ever const rifted of the same num ber of parts. Ab ut one hundred and seventy-five different pieces of the ma terial enter iuto its c instruction, and upwards ef twenty-four hundred sep. arate ojk rations are c:u prised in its manufacture. Some of ihe facts connected with its performance are simply incredible, when considered in total.

These figures are leyoud the grasp of our feeble intellects; but the mtrvel d.vs not stop here. It has been esti mateel that the power that moves the watch is equivalent to only four times the force used in a flea's jump; consequently it might lie called a four-fiea power. Oue l.orse-tsiwer would suffice to ruu 27O,i)m,0tjO watches.

Evened It Up. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, speaking of the moral and religious life of his own race, said that it was probably all that could be expected after their 2o0 j-ears iu slavery. He told an anecdote of an old slave who reasonesl that, as his body l-loiiged to his master, if he ate the master's chick ens the chickens still were his and no theft had been committed. His master remonstrated with him for eating chicken shortly after, aud the slave re plieel, "Well, mass;!, yeai'se got less chicken, but you's got more niggah." The Grandest Remedy. Mr. It. 1!.

" There never was a more disappoint ed candidate for Ihe Presidency than Mr. Clay was in Isti," says one who knew hiiu, ' lor lie fully esjs-tel to tenant the V'liit? House from 1HV to ls-lo. He was then on his third run for the Presidency, and had long lieen the idol of his party. In his first run agaiust Jaeksofi and John ijiiney A.lams, iu 1SJI, he received less thsn -0,fni) votes; iu his sssnd, against Jackson, in over half a million, aud in liis third run he received in a total popular vote of i,al,IX) votes., within M.mniof a majority over Mr. Polk. Thus he h'td much ground ( r 1iom-, and his friends, both here and throughout the country, were certain of his elect inn. In fact, that bring the day for news by slow mail, it was a week before his defeat was acknowl edged, aud several times was a victory (?) celebrated by the buruing of bon fires. I was then employed as a messen ger ly in the ihe old Intelligencer of fice, and by that means I cpme to know Mr. Clay, frequently being sent by Mr. Gales and Mr. Seatou with messages to him. Sometimes I found him at the Capitol, but generally at his rooms in the building at the northwest corner of E'ghth street aud Market space, the site now occupied by Mr. William H. Hoeke. At his rooms he was friendly with me, and seemed pleased with the manner in which I performed my du ties. "One day he said: 'My lad, when I become President I will do something for you. I want you to come to see me at the White House.' " 'Why, Mr. Clay,' I responded, 'how will I get to see you when your doors are guarded? " 'Sure enough,' remarked Mr. Clay, picking up a car l, on which he wrote, 'Admit Mr. . II. Clay.' Handing it to me lie said: 'Take care of it, and it will pass you. IV sure to come.' "I fully expecte-d to have occasion to use it, but like thousands of others, I was disapMinted. I have had the card for over half a century, and have treasured it as an evidence of Mr. Clay's good iutetitions." Washington Star. Make a Pansy-Bed. There Ls much pleasure in store for those that have never owned and stud ied a pansy-bed, and even more f-r th e that know just how much joy is in such a possession. If you have a hot-bed, sow pansy seed there in August. Transplant until they are five or six inches apart. Pro tect with mats on outside aud paper on inside during cold weather, or, instead of pajs-r, give a light covering of leaves, which should not be packed closely. Give air aud light ou w arm, sunny days. Very early in spring the protection may lie removed, and if can-fully wate r ed and sheltered from the nooulidesun, the pausies w iil soou be bl.ioiu.iug. As soon as tiie fror-t Ls out of the ground they may be t run-planted to the garden. Make the lied rich with old, fine, stable manure. Give them a suuuv situation I say, with all deference to writers who say pausies need a shady position. Mulch the pansy-lieii with chip elirt, chopped bay, lawn clippiugs, fine ma nure from the bottom of the heap, or U'Ucr than anything else, if you cau get it, is wood's earth or le-afmold. A good mulch and plenty of water, and we have no sunshine tiiat will hurt the pansies. They bloom e-arlier in spring and remain in blooru later in fall in a sunny situation, but possibly a sheltered bed would give more and larger blooms in midsummer. Viek's Mairazine for August.
