CINDERELLA. V:
Whenever Eflio thought of her lot,
which appeared at present to be to do
the housework for her step-mother and
her two step-sisters, her mind naturally
reverted to her favorite fairy tale, the one
she liked to read ofteuest in those child
ish days not so far away, for sho was not
yet seventeen, before her father filled her
dear dead mother's place with the 'over
whelming presence of the idow llum
pheries, whose twin girls had quite
thrown Eflio into the shade from the time
that they entered the house.
"I should have been christened Cinder
ella," she med to say; "only I certainly
havo no fairy god-mother, and no ono
will ever change the rats, that frighten
me so when 1 go down tho kitchen stairs
in the dark, into horses, or one of the
big pumpkins I am forever stewing for
pies into a carriage; aud certaiuly, er-
taiuly, certaiuly the young prince will
never fall iu love with me or one of my
shoes."
And then Eflio would give the stout,
serviceable boots, which her step-mother
always bought a size too large for her, a
contemptuous look, which would hnve
withered their soles, had they becu any
thing more sensitive than leather and
prunella.
Elbe never said all this to nny one but
herself, certainly not to her step-mother,
who, now that she was a widow once
more for Kllic's father had not lived
long nfter his second lnarriago was
completely mistress of the house. Every
thing had been left to her and she hud
her own ideas of justice. She neither
abused uor illused Ellie, but she had a soft
way of coercing her that was just as bad.
Melissa and Amanda, her two girls, were
older than Ellie, and of this fact tho
mother made good use. Elbe was "just
a child, "and sho could wear calico dresses
and serviceable boots, while Melissa
and Amanda must have trained dresses
and dainty coverings for their feet.
Eflie was so young that she could "run
of errands," yet Ellie, being a mere girl,
needed sleep at nights and must retire
early; and as the young ladies sat up
later sho must rise earlier than they and
help get breakfast. A woman was kept
to wash, nuil cook, nud scrub, nnd Ellie
only hnd "nice things, that a child should
learn to do, to attend to, said step.
mamuin; but the little bands were always
busy and the littlo feet tired, and, like
Cinderella, when there was nothing else
to do she had her sister's handsome
dresses to work upon.
It was provoking, with nothing for
herself but her every day calicoes and
step-mamma's old brown silk, made short
aud scanty, for Sunday s church going.
It was only lately sinco it had seemed so
hard, though only since Leslie Good
wood had come homo from college, and
she had seen, ns plaiuly ns young eyes
do see these things, that he admired her,
even iu tho brown silk and Melissa's
lust year's hat, which was, iu step-mam
ma's estimation "quite good enough for
a mere child. "
Since then sho hnd called herself Cin
derella oftener thnn before, nnd when at
last the Goodwoods gave nn evening
party, and not only Mrs. Merwiu aud her
daughters were invited, but also Miss
Eflio Merviu, in a little note addressed to
herself, she fairly rebelled as her step
mother expressed it to be her opiuion
that she might take Amanda and .Melissa,
but that "Eflie could not reullv go.
"Why not, I should like to know,
when 1 ve an invitation f asked Lfhe,
"You're not iu society yet, dear," said
Mrs. Mervin, blandly; "and it isn t good
for young girls to go out in the evening.
In a few years
"Iu a few years the Goodwoods' party
will be over," said Ellie; "and I want to
go so much. Oh, do let me!
"My dear!" cried Sirs. Mervin, "there
aro only three days to get ready in, and
you have no party dress."
"1 ought to have," said Ellie. "It's a
shame."
"Dear me!" said Mrs. Merviu. "As if
I didn't know better what you ought to
havo than you.
"She might alter mv bluo greuaudino
to tit herself," said Amanda.
. And Eilie gave a start, for tho second
daughter of the step-mother in Cinder
ella, being more good-natured than her
sister, cried: "Give her one of my old
dresses!" when the famous ball was iu
question.
But though Mrs. Mervin did not cry
out frankly, as did the step-mother of
the fairy tale: "My dear, the King's sou
will be there," she thought much the
same thing. She remembered Leslie
Goodwood such u good match for any
ono who was happy to catch him; and
she remembered also that Ellie was much
prettier than her Melissa.
"io, my dears; no," she said, with a
smile that she could always command nt
will, unci that gave her such a reputa
tion as uu unliable woman. "No, chil
dren; I know what is best for youug per
sons. Ellie will be a woman soon enough,
and wi-h her childish days back again."
With which words she left the room to
dress herself for a shopping expedition,
for luce and flowers and ribbons uud
dainty shoes, were needed for her girls,
even though they had handsome dresses
enough ulready for the Goodwoods'
party.
fco Eflie was not to go. Sho was to
remain uthome and sit up for the others.
And her little face was as loug as it
well could be as she tool; her seat beside
the grate tire, and put her feet upou the
fender.
"Cinderella! Cinderella 1" she cried
aloud. "If ever there was a Cinderella
on earth, it is I. I wish "
"What do you wish, my dear?" said A
oice behind her; nnd Eflio turned her
head toward the door with a littlo
screnm, nnd there stood a tiny littlo old
lady, not exactly in a red clonk, but
certainly in a red shawl, which nearly'
covered her.
"AVhat is it you wish so much, Eflie?"
asked the old woman.
"Oh, I wns wishing I could go to the
Goodwoods' party," said Ellie, bursting
into a little laugh. "Do come in, Mrs.
Percy. I really thought you were my
fairy god-mother nt first. Did you come
down the chimney?"
"You what?" nsked Mrs. Percy. "I
didn't scare you, did I? I found Dinah
at the kitchen door, and I run in that
way. But what a shame it was for the
Goodwoods not to ask you to their party.
I know Mrs. Mervin and the other girls
arc there. I saw them go in."
"Oh, they nsked me," said Effie.
They sent me such a nice little note.
And 1 wanted to go, but my step-mother
said I mustn't. She always thinks me
too voting for nny amusement. I'm only
old enough to work."
"Thnts a shame, said Mrs. Percy.
But why didn't you sav you would go?
If it wns your own mother, that would
be different; but we've all noticed how
you are kept down, nnd we're all pro
voked about it. N hy shouliln t you
have a little fuu? You're just the right
ago for it."
I think so mvsclf," said Eflie. "But
I hadn't any dress, nnd I never have any
money. Papa left me nothing, you
know."
"Your pa? Well, your poor pa is
dead,',' said Mrs. Percy. "But see here,
Eflie, you shall go to the party if you
like."
"It is my fairy god-mother," Enid
Eflie.
'What are vou talking about, child?"
cried the old lady. "But just wait a
moment. My niece is nt our house with
her daughter, and she has a great trunk
full of the prettiest things. Do your hair,
and I'll bring yon all you wnnt to wear."
"But I shan t dare to go, said Line.
'I'll tako you," said Mrs. Percy,
dauntlcssly.
Awny sho went, and Eflie, trembling
nt her own temerity, brushed her hair
into the loveliest curls ever seen, nnd in
the shortest possible space of time. Back
enmo Mrs. Percy with a pretty dress of
pale blue silk, white gloves and slippers,
and just the prettiest bunch of blush
rosebuds.
Mrs. Percy made a deft tiring-woman,
nud in n few moments Eflie stood before
the parlor mirror admiring herself in her
new attire, which fi'.acd as though made
for her.
"The slippers are a little too large,"
said Mrs. Percy, "but that can't be
helped. Now I've got my own little
pony carriage at tho door, aud I'll drive
you over. Wrap yourself up well, and
mind you arc ready to como home nt
twelve o'clock, fori shall be ut the door.
Now kiss mo. U
"You dear nngel of a god-mother!"
cried Eflie.
"Dear me, I wish I hnd been, but I
wasn't you know," said Mrs. Percy.
"What do you nicam?"
"That I'm Cinderella in actual fact,"
cried Eflie. "You've made a coach out
of a pumpkin, too!"
"Cinderella? Oh, that's a fuiry talc.
I remember something of it. But she
hnd glass slippers," said Mrs. Percy.
'Dear, dear! and a step-mother, too. I
begin to understand."
Then she hurried Eflio into tho little
pony carriage, and away they drove.
"You must go nnd speak to Sirs.
Goodwood first," said Mrs. Percy; "nnd
that's all. I've no doubt you'll be taken
care of after that."
"I expect to be," said Effie, ruefully.
"I wonder what my step-mother will
say."
"Who is that voung lady who looks so
liko Eflie?" whispered Mrs. Merviu to
Amanda.
"I should thiuk it was Eflie," said
Amanda. "Only there is nothing in the
house anything like what she hus on."
"And "she's prettier thun Eflie," said
Mrs. Mervin. "But how like."
"Mr. Goodwood is going to dance with
her," said Amanda.
Indeed, Leslie Goodwood wns at the
moment leading Ellie to her place in a
quadrille.
"That's another proof it can't be she,"
said Mrs. Merviu. "Eflio doesn't
dance."
But Eflio had had lessons in those
schooldays of which her step-mother
knew nothing. And she had a sense of
time and a grace of motion that made,
dancing easy to her.
She saw her step-mother uud sisters;
uud saw they did not reeognizo her.
And she enjoyed the fun of the position
greatly.- She was altogether happy ; and
so, also, seemed Leslie Goodwood, wdio
paid her as much attention as a host
might pay to ono lady, who waited on
her to supper,aud who was again danciug
with her when the cloak winch hung iu
the ball struck twelve.
Is it really twelve o'clock?" said Ef
fie. "Then 1 must go. Home one is to
como to drive me home just at twelve."
"I am so sorry. But you must let me
see you to the carriage," said Leslie.
And then Ellio got her wraps, and
Leslie went down stairs with her, and
there was tho pony carriage, and kind,
independent Mrs. Percy, and Leslie
hauded her in ; but ns sho sprang into the
carriage the oddest thing happened.
Her slipper, w hich was, as we have said,
a littlo too large for her, slipped from
her foot and fell upon the pavement.
"Oh, my shoe!" cried Eflie, is a
whisper.
But no one heard her. Leslie had
clasped her hand aud said, "Good-bye,"
and Mrs. Percy had driven oil.
"I've lost your kind neiee's slipper,"
said Eflie, iu despair. "What shall I
do?"
"Oh, she hus a hundred slippers," said
Mrs Percy, "uud I'll get her another pair.
Don't fret."
i "And this makes it more liko Cinder
ella!" cried Efliic. "I'm getting fright
ened nt myself."
And, to carry the story out, sho was in
bed, with her calico dress hanging over a
chair back, and all tho finery odd slip
per nnd nil gone homo with Mrs. Percy,
when her step-mother peeped into the
room on her way to bed.
"There was a girl just like you, Eflie,
at Mrs, Goodwood's last night," said
Amanda.
"But handsomer and older," said Mrs.
Mervin.
"Oh, I'm sure she was hamdsomer, and
older 1" cried Eflie. And, under hei
brenth sho whisrered: "Cinderella

upon it. The others were taking naps
up stairs, and Eflie went into the parlor
in her childish calico dress.
Leslie was there. Ho had n little folded
parcel in his hand; nnd nfter he hnd
spoken n few words, he said :
"I think you lost a Blipper last night,
Miss Eflie. I have brought it home. 1
found it just ns you drove nwny."
Ellie crimsoned. Sho scarcely knew
why. She wns utterly confused, and her
presence of mind quite deserted her.
"It is exactly like Cinderella," she said
aloud; and then, horribly ashamed of the
dreadful speech, bit her lips, and felt a
strong wish that the floor would open
nnd swallow her.
But Leslie, coming closer to her, said,
gravely:
"I hope it is. The young Prince,
when he found Cinderella's shoe, vowed
he would marry no one but its owner. I
have made the same vow. Will you help
me to keep it?"
It doesn't matter iu (he least what Ef
fie said. But nftcrwnrdshe always culled
herself Cinderellu iu her own mind ; so
that you understand, of course, that she
married Leslie, ns Cinderella married the
young Prince, nnd wns "happy ever af

A Central American Despot.
To the student of metaphysics tho
character of Rulino Barrios, the despot
of Guatemala, must necessarily appear as
an engima, from its ninny strange con
trarieties and inexplicable moods. Ho
was a dove and nu adder by turns, nnd,
like the satyr in tho fnble, could blow
hot and cold with the same breath. On
one day he was a Caligula in his ferocity,
while the next found him practicing the
Christian virtues of forbearance and for
giveness. To-day he would laugh, Nero
like, iu nnorgy of blood, while to-morrow
he might break the shackles and set nt
liberty his most inveterate foes. Strange,
wayward, aud many-sklcd, ho was withal
a man with a crude idea of justice, and
certaiuly aimed at tho material advance
ment of his country. But a summary of
his life, taking into consideration all of
its lights and shadows, will lead to the
inevitable conviction that he was a very
bad man who was domineered by his
grosser instincts. His unpublished his
tory is written in the blood of 600 vic
tims among his own people, who hnve
suffered death to satisfy his supicions ajid
caprices. An attempt to bring out the
true facts of his life by a youug lawyer of
this city was suppressed by the govern
ment t us entailing a scandal upon the
nntion.
He allowed no man or set of men to
stand iu the way of his ambition, and
upon bare rumor often ordered a citizen
to be shot without a moment's warning
or shadow of trial. Not less than two
hundred citizens of Guatemala now lie
in death's embrace, by his order, who
never kuew even the charges preferred
against them. At one time a rebellion
was brewing in one of the northern dis
tricts, and, without knowing who were
the ringleaders, but to spread terror in
the department nud quell the uprising,
eight men were selected, more or less at
raudom, and bhot.
We encountered tho mdubitablo au
thority of this heinous order of Barrios,
nud saw men who had read it. Ciicagt

A Jerusalem Shoe Shop and Restaurant
In describing some of his experiences
in the Holy City iu the New York World,
Prank Carpenter says : "I stop)cd one
afternoon before a shoe shop, nud out of
curiosity, took its measurements. It was
a hole' in the wall cut out withabasefoui
feet above tho cobble-stone street. A
rude stone two feet high was the step by
which the shoemaker crawled into it,
and it was just three feet wide, five feet
high aud eight feet deep. It was as dark
as a pocket uud the shoemaker squatted
iu the entrance with a board on his lap
and he filled it completely. Ho was
working at n pair of rough Bedouin shoes
uud the owner of these squatted cross
legged in his burc feet while tho cobblci
waxed his thread and iu pulling it win
careful to move his hands toward the
street and back into the shop. The place
was so small that had he pulled his thread
iu the ordinary way he would have barked
his elbows ugainst the walls. There are
hundreds of such shops iu Jerusalem, uud
the uverage business place is more like a
bank vault than anything else. Next to
this shoe shop there was a Jerusalem res
taurant. It was an oval hole cut into the
hill twelve feet high, eight feet wide aud
forty feet deep. At the front wus the
cooking stove of Jerusalem, consisting ol
a rude slab of lime-stone w ith holes bored
into the top us big arouud as a workman'!
dinner bucket, uud with other holes
piercing these from tho sides. A few
inches from the top of each hole wus a
rude iron grating and upou this the char
coal was laid, uud by the draught which
caino in from below the cooking was
done. Tho slab wus mounted on cord
wood posts, aud it had five fire-places.
At the back a rough table w ithout a cloth
wus set for the guests, and the only chain
were little stools a foot high and ubout a
foot square, the seats of which were ol
woveu cords."

HOW TO ROAST MEATS
Good beef should have a bright reel
color not too dark, dry and tender to the
touch, fat, nnd with u smooth, opeu
grain.
In roasting meats one of the principal
points is to have it ns juicy as possible.
Wash the meat iu cold water, wipe
dry, singe with a hot iron, then place iu
a dripping pau ; cover the top with n!
layer of suet one-half inch tlnclc; nuil
drippings to the pan until one inch deep;
the pan should bo nt least four inches
deep; place in a hot oven and slightly in
crease the heat until done; allow thirty
minutes for first pound and fifteen min
utes for each additional pound. When
done remove to a hot plate. Add one cup
of hot water to the pnu, after draining
off the drippings let boil two or three
minutes; then thicken with ono table
spoonful of butter, mixed with flour;
add white pepper und salt to taMe. Slush
rooms, oysters, chopped pickles or any
flavor can be added to this gravy. Another
way is to wash, place in pau, ndd one
cup of hot water aud place at once iu a
hot oven, turn over until nicely browned
on nil sides; remove to a hot platter, pour
the drippings olf, ndd one cup of sweet
milk, let boil one minute, thicken with
one tcaspoonful of flour (fid one of but
ter, let boil one or two minutes aud then
ndd salt, white pepper and cinnamon. It
is then ready to serve. A French way of
rousting beef is to take a sirloin roast,
mix salt, pepper, cinnamon and cloves
together, then, with a narrow blnded
knife, mnke incisions about one inch deep
on nil sides of the meat ; put a little of
the spice in ench with a small slice of gar
lic, aud then roast, as directed tibove,

SHIPS IN THE HARBOR.
FIVE HUNDRED VESSELS ANCHOR
AT NEW YORK IN A MONTH.
How They Secure a l'lnce for Vnload.
Injf In the Hands of Kevrnne In
spectors Ta kin K Out the Cargo.
Pretty nearly five hundred vessels of
nil sizes, rigs, tonnage nnd make vessels
propelled by steam nnd vessels propelled
by wind find an anchorage in this har
bor in one week. These vessels, repre
senting every industry imaginable, and
valued ut millions of dollars, come nnd
go almost unknown, save to the few hun
dred directly interested in their existence.
All these vessels find berths iu this port,
which is second to none in the world, un
load their cargoes under the watchful
eyes of Uncle Sam's agents, tho United
States Treasury agents, better known as
Custom Inspectors, ship n new ourgo, or
mayhap only take on ballast, receive their
clearance papers from the Custom House,
und in a few hours leave the port of New
York fur astern; the only notice of their
departure and arrival made by the daily
press being the name of the vessel, its
Captain, consignee and destination.
When un agent of an incoming sailing
vessel or tramp steamer that is, a
steamer not belonging to nny company
owning a pier has been notified by tele
graph from Sandy Hook that his vessel
has been sighted, he burners to the Dock
Department, secures the lease of a certain
pier, telegraphs to the Hook the number
of the pier secured, his ( uptain is signaled
that fact from the Western Union tower
ut the Hook, nnd the vessel proceeds to
this city. Before arriving here she has
to undergo several ordeals. The first is
ut Quarantine. On coining alongside of
Fort Wadsworth the tug-Preston, with
Health Officer Smith or one of his assis
tants aboard, ranges alongside the
steamer.
The Captain meets the doctor, who asks
him n number of questions regarding the
health of his crew or passengers, the port
he came from nnd the general health
there.
These formalities over, and providing
that the Captain can show a "clean bill
of health," as tho health statement is
termed, the steamer continues on to this
city. She will not have proceeded far
when three shrill toots of a steam whistle
will cause her Captain to slow her up. A
small tug flying the colors of the United
States Kevenuo Marine is the signaller
A line is thrown to the small boat from
the steamer, n hawser run out by its aid,
and ns soon ns the two boats arc made
fast a boarding officer climbs aboard by
means of a rope ladder let down by the
steamer's crew. The vessel's manifesto
is given to the boarding officer, who im
mediately regains the tug. One inspector
is then sent aboard, if the boat is only n
freight steamer, two if she has passen
gers. The lines nro then cast oil nnd
again the vessel is free.
The skipper's next tussle is nt the pier,
to which, ns he has been informed by his
agent, he is to tic up. When he arrives
there he finds that there are other boats
there, whose masters are not disposed to
move. This difficulty is soon got over by
the. aid of the dockmuster of the district
in which the pier happens to be, and with
a great deal of shouting, hauling and
general hubbub the steamer is miide fast
to the pier and her gang plank is run
out.
On the pier the skipper nud agent
meet, discuss the voyage, exchange pa
pers und finally adjourn to tho steamer's
cabin to pour over the manifest.
During all this time the customs in
spector has not been idle especially so
if it happcus to be early in the afternoon
and the vessel has a largo cargo. At his
orders the hatches are removed, the
stevedore's men nnd the ship's crew get
to work, and soon the cargo is being
moved out of the hold, w here it has luiu
probably for ninny a day. As ouch bale,
bag, barrel or box is taken out it is care
fully checked oil on the manifest, while
the covers are taken oil by other inspec
tors sent up from the Barge Office for tho
occasion. Constant practice makes the
inspectors adept ut this work, nnd no
time is lost.
AVhilo the work is nt its highest the
sunset gijn booms from Castle VYilliuinon
Governor's Island, und the inspector in
charge of the work gives the order to
stop. Sunset is the hour when Uncle
Sam's Treasury servants kuock oil work.
Hatches are battered down once more,
uud the ship's manifest handed over to
the night inspector. If the ship's agents
are iu a hurry to get the sleatner away
again, the latter, re-eul'oived by another,
continues the day's work, and that night
may sec the end of the job.
The steamer's commander is then
handed back his O, K'd manifest, while
the Custom House people keep a sworn
copy of it. As soon ns tne inspectors
leave the pier the vessel has been, in the
vernacular of the Treasury Department,
"discharged." jY" Yuri- Sl:ir.
The Two Cleopnlnt's Needles.
There were t;o so-called Cleopulra's
needles. They stood originally ut lleli
opolis, iu front of the great Temple of
the Sun. After reiuaiuing there 1000
years, they were floated dowu the Nile
by the Itoniansand re-erected in 23 B. ('.
Oue of them was presented by Mahomi-t
Ali to the British Government, nnd it
now stands on the banks of the Thames,
iu Loudon. The other was presented by
tho Khedive to the city of New York,
and in IfcSSO it was brought over and set
up iu Cetitral Park. It is 70 feet high,
7 feet square at the base aud weighs 1116
tons. The size and weight of the Lon
don needle are ubout the same. - Yort

POOR 'WILL,

O Will, poor Will, what host thou done
That, nightly with the set of sun,
Thy kith and kin, of ancient fame, I
l'ass sentence dooming thee to shame?
"Whip poor Will! whip poor WillT'
Ere yet the first palo twilight stars ' '
Peer through the gold and purple bars,
From yon tall cedar's dnky shade
The mandate sounds across the clailew I
"Whip poor will! whip poor Will!" 1
And straightway comes in mocking tone.
; From dell and dingle wild and lone.
From tangled brush nnd bosky glen.
From briery copse and fern-grown fen, 1
i "Whip poor Will ! whip poor Will !"
From distant woods across the cove, '
From darkling depths of yonder grove,
From thickets where the brook runs by.
With malice ki-en they hoot and cry,
"Whip poor W ill ! whip poor Will !"
Oh, heartless crew, too long, too long
Night hath been saddened with thy song I
The world is wiser now tban,when
You sang first to tho sons of men,
"Whip poor Will! whip poor Will!"
And 'neath this new and kindlier sta!
You'd suit your audience better far
If, changing tune to suit tho hour,
You carolled in your leafy bower,
"Help poor Will! help poor Will'."
And better still for bird and man
Through weary ages under ban
If in your song you would repent
Tho new evangel glml, and sweet,
"Love poor Will! lovo poor Will!"
