A clerical prig:" said the eldest Miss! Grantly. ; "Something has vexed hiui," said the second. "He looks worried ! "I know what," finished the thiid ; "it would lie great fun to send him one." i The three Misses Grantly put their heads j toother, in order probably to oonverse j more in private. They need not have been frightened. Everybody was tired, and j would have yawned, had such a luxury i Urn admissible in the the Grantly draw- j ing-room Tea iiarties are always slow ; : this one had been very slow, indeed, as Mr", j Grantly and the colonel, her busliand. j would be ready to testify, when they hail j smiled their good-nights to the young i friends who were staying in their house. j Amongst their few gui-sts had been the j curate of the parisli, the Iter. Wilfred Sel- j turn, called by his intimates. Will ; and he j had been this evening what the young j Indies chose to designate "Crawley." In a j general way he was rather a pet with them, i He had nothing but his curacy, and lie ! Wsted sometimes of his own cleverness in making liotli end meet, so that he was not a dangerous man to know; and then he was of good family, and could talk well, and was altogether a very useful creature, since he never interfered with more eligible individual. But t"-day something had j evidently gone wrong with the curate ; he i !iit only would n'rt exert himself to lie en-1 tertaining, but, w hen he -did speak, it was; to put aside, with considerable contempt, the subject on which the sisters were just j then interested, namely, Valentines. "In fact," said the eldest sister, "he left iff to go and flirt with Bell I.indhiirsC Any one could see that "Are you sure it's Bell V said another. "I thought it was Frances." "Oh. either will do," said the oilier, j since a man wilh a curacy can only flirt, j But it's BeiL of course. Well, he has spoilt our evening completely, and we owe him something. I wish I could think of a real good triek." "I know of something," said tie young est Miss Grantly. who was also the quiet est, and had a sad, plaintive way of speak ing. "But then he would never open a Valentine." "Not if he knew it," said the oldest ; "but he need not. What's your plan f" There was a go-id deal of whispering, a little laughing, and then a lull. "Yes, a large blue envelope official-: looking und I've got a seal with a Cupid on it, holding a letter on his arrow ; the poor stupid man will never see that, and one must have the sign manual of a Valen tine aliout it. But then he knows all our handwriting. I can manage a disguise for the letter itself, but my disguises are cramped. If we hud only a free, bold, natural address outside, lie would never suspect." "There's Bell and Francos," put in the plaintive little voice sadly, whereupon her sisters applauded. "A pat on the shoulder for that," said they. "No, he has never seea Bell's writ ing. Franky won't do it, she's starched; but Bell we'll see," The three young ladies moved forward simultaneously. "Isn't it led time i I m sure you two poor children arc tired to death. Ob papa, asleep . You rude man !" The colonel, of course, declared that he wasn't, and shouldn't have thought of such a thing, and then instituted a very wide awake search after candles, during which Miss Grantly whispered into Bell Lind hunst's ear softly, "I'll come to your room a bit, dear." The result of that visit was that Bell ad dressed a missive of whose contents she was ignorant. It contained, however, a pretended offering to Mr. Selturn of a rec torship at Groenham-cum Oakes, by Sir Harry Lindhurst, her own uncle. It was not until it began to lie talked of that Mr. Selturn was going to leave the parish, that she saw she had been the means of deceiving liim by a practical joke Consequently she determined to rectify it so far as she was able. She was still at the Gramlys, and Mr. Selturn was there on a visit. lie having been a few minutes alone in the drawing room, was startled by the appearance of Sir Harry's niece from the conservatory door. "Mr. Sslturo," said the young lady, "I want to speak to you I have done a very bad thing, " she was going to say, but checked herself. "I have lent my assist ance to a practical ke, a tiling I detest aa much as you can da In the pretended let ter from my uncle, you should read Oakes with an II before it. There U no such place as I know of, and my uncle has only two livings in his gift Lindhurst Magna a lindhurst Parva. I directed the letter. "You :" was all the curate could get out. 'yes," replied Bell ; "but indeed I knew thing of the contents. You never looked at the seal, or you would have known it was a Valentine." She was gone as quickly aa she bad come. I don't know what were the curate's thoughts in the interval which he had yet to pass, but the other guests were of the opinion that he was growing into a moody, taciturn sort of fellow. It fell to bis lot to take Bell lindhurst in to dinner, and, as she put her fingers on his arm, he con trived to touch them, and to say just two words, 'Thank you." Taey were all he did say to her. He was very attentive to his neighbor, on the other hand, and he exerted himself to talk, and talked well better than usual, if pos sible. "Selturn, "said the Colonel once, "what's this I hear about losing you ?" "No such luck, replied Will, shaking his head. "I shall plague you for years. I'm afraid;" and then be added, looking amies Uie table "Miss Grantly, if you were writing a business letter, what style of seal should you choose P He said it very quietly, but looked away from her directly, for he saw that she was crestfallen, and afraid lest the Colonel should take up the subject, and investigate it ; and Will did not bear malice. It was . . punishment enough for her that her trick had. so far as she knew, proved a failure. And strangely thinking of Bell Lynd hurat when he got home, he took out the unhappy Valentine, made a face at the seal, put the letter the cramped disguise of which he could detect well enough now into the fire, and the envelope never mind where.

I don't know what became of Mr. Sel-1 nje had a pretty full growth of grey whU turn's sermon. Perhaps he finished it be- ; kern. He came to Utica for the signatures fore he started. At anv rate he did catch the two o'clock train, and he bad the honor of eating his dinner with Mr. George Lind hurst's wife on one side and Miss Grantly on the other. "to you are to be the new rector !" said the latter. "Sir Harry told us aliout it- I congratulate you." Then, in a half whisper, "It's better than Greenham cura-Oakes. Will you forgive me now, Mr. Selturn ?" But her to Will's attention had wandered from the opposite side of the table. It did . . i 1 11 not rest there long. He was a sharp fellow enough, except in the matter of Valentines, and he saw that his lively neighbor was watching his movements. During the whole of the" evening, therefore, he only spoke once to Bell Lindhurst, and then only a brief sentence, "I have you to thank for it." 80 that Miss Grantly, thinking it over on the way home, said, peevishly, "I can't un derstand it. If there is anything between them, they make love like crowned heads." To which the plaintive sister added, with a little mournful malice. "He need not only flirt now, you know. He isn't a poor curate any longer. I'm afraid you'll miss him, Cis." Will's chance came In the early morning, when he found Bell stepping out of the breakfast room window to the lawn. "Ben," said the 0 urate, standing before her, 'will you coma with ma to Lindhurst Magna I" " I don't know what Bell Lindhurst ought to have said, nor indeed whit was hrr first impulse ; but chancing to catch sight of his face, she perceived that he was in spite of his abruptness, quite as much in what is called a "state" as the most exacting young lady could desire. So she said, as steadily as she could : "Yes if you want me." "I do want you," said he. "That Is just the word. I have had no sun picture of yon, you know ; but I have worn your face in my heart ever since you came to mc that day and saved me from making a worse simpleton of myself than I was already. I knew then that I had done what poor curates should not do I had fallen in love. I do want you. Give me your hand, Bell, in token." She put her hand within his arm and they walked on, and it does not very much matter about the rest of the conversation. But when the Baronet tapped at the window to announce that he wanted his breakfast, and they went up to him, he looked at them and began to grumble a little. "Don't scold uncle," said Bilk "It can't be heiped now. "Can't it ?" said he. "And so this is the way you wait is it P Then he turned to the curate. 'I suppose I must wish you all that's proper, eh ? lie good to her. All this springs from just writing the address on a hoax ! Valentines are not such bad things, after all, are they, Mr! Selturn ?" Scientific Gnoata. Dr. Jessopp ot London, recently declared be saw the ghostly figure of a man, while engaged in writ ing in a friend's library at night.

Jessopp; was objec tive or subjective. Under ordinary circum stances, when we see an object the latter is material, and forms an image on the re tina; this is mentally known through a per ceptive part of the brain; the mere retinal image is not enough to constitute vision, as pictures are constantly painted upon the retina which are never discerned. Now it not seem clear, nor whv it could not lie gazed at from different points of view. It may be noticed, too, tliat its nearness cor responded with the focusing of the Doc tor's eyes to objects close around him. A Barbel"! Mutate. An amusing incident occurred in a Utica barber shop, which has created considerable sport at the expense of a clergyman from the town of Annsville or Ava. The donii- i of the leading politicians to an application for a chaplaincy in a public institution. With mind bent on the subject of his mis sion, he entered a barber aimp, Uiok a seat in the chair, and asked to have his whiskers trimmed. The barber was busily engaged in talking politics and evidently misunder stood his patron's order. He took out his dye stuffs, and within twenty minutes the whiskers of the dominie were blacker than his coat. The odor of sulphur did not give the barber away, and remarking that he jdid not want his hair dressed he paid for the Job mo went out. When he called at !tbc office of a Lnited States othcial who ( him he wag no, lwogniled had some trouble in making himself known. When the official was satisfied he laughed heartly and remarked to the clergyman that be evidently was endeavoring to beat old age by dying. The would-be chaplain did not see the point of his highly colored joke untd the ofileial spoke plainly. The clergy man looked in the mirror and for the first time saw how he had altered in appearance. He took the affair good naturedly, but lost no time in returning to the shop and having his face shaved clean. It took him some time to get acquainted with bis wife upon his return home, but the joke was too good to keep, and bis friends are enjoying it. If he ever has an opportunity of fixing the penance of that barber it will be a se vere one. A max, passing through a gateway Id the dark, ran against a post. "I wish that post was In the lower regions!" was his angry remark. "Better wish it was somewhere else, said a bystander. "You might run agalust tt again, you know." A Mountain Itlde. He threw the driver a signal, the horses sprang away, and the work was begun of tilliug the contract to get to IX'ihi m two hours, tiirhteeu miles over a mountain road, only just a suspicion of moonlight be hind the threatening clouds, and no end ol big mud. Four miles up the mountain for a start, and the road went creeping about lien- and there, sometimes clinging to the hillside like a shelf, running away to hide in long stretches of forest, dodging suddenly out of sight around a piojecting hill, doubling back upon itself in the most ac curate angles, as though it was trying to get away and leave us utterly lost on the mountain side, running along smoothly ana evenly on one truck for a quarter of a mile and then suddenly swinging around and hurrying back nearly the whole distance; a changing, restless, mischievous road that seemed to have forgotten that it started out from Oneonta to reach the mountain top, and was going to play hide-and-seek wilh itself there on the mountain side forever, and never go anywhere. But the horses knew its ways, and all its tricks of turning and driving and climbing, and clatter, clat ter, clatter over the rocky places, and tramp, tramp, tramp, where the clay was heavy, and splash, splash, splash, where the little pools covered the road keeping the wandering road always in sight and never losing it, while the rocky glens and stately hillsides, and even the frowning forests laughed back in the echoes of the clatter ing hoofs as the chase went on. And One onta.' A dimple of light in the darkened valley, a cluster of brilliants in a set of jcU what a dream of beauty has the village as it too laughs at our hurry up the moun tain side, chasing the v.jyward road, laughed until its dimples of light made the night sparkle w ith merriment. I hoie I wi'l often sec Oneonta again, but I will never see it looking prettier than it leoked that night. And now at last we climb the mountain top, and the road, sobered down by its long climb sett'ts to its tusk and stretches away to DrlliL No stop for any thing, the mettlesome horses do not need the w hip, and scarcely need the word. Nine miles out; as we drive up to a great roomy barn, a lantern flashes out and a light buggy and two great horses drive out lie side us. It is only the work of a second to transfer me and my baggage, the impa tient horses spring awav, and the land scape lwgan to fade away liebind us agaip. Down the long hills and up the grades we spin, the big-sliouldercii horses laiigmng at the hills with their feet; over tiie rum bling bridges, past twinkling lights in the farm houses, until at last the hills rise alioreus loftier, grander, more beautitul and graceful in outline, anil we swept into Delhi, covered wilh the mud aud exhilar ating excitement oi the tlnve, just two hours from the time we left Oneouta; it is lively going. Havana ClKr t-'aetorlea Entering the cigar factory in Havana, one is at once struck bv the admirable cool ness and ventilation of the place. The wind passes through and through it, and, although there are over Soo men, women and boys at work, the air is as fresh and cool as on a mountain top. ( in the ground tloor is a long warehouse, w here over -2,Hl bales of tobacco are stored. Besides this stock, the proprietor has a warehouse in fie city, where there are o,(khj bales. This is all tobacco of the i:rop of l7ii, and, as the present crop is almost an entire failure, the manufacturers are making only enough cigars to till their orders. They prefer to keep as much on hand as possible, expect ing higher prices very soou. The average value of a bale of tobacco is aliout S"5. Some of the very findest kinds of wrappings cost as much as $400 a bale. Insurance is verv high, the rate being one and a haif per cent iixn the stock at the factory and one per cent u-xn that warehoused At some factories the rate is even higher, on account of the w.x-den lining of the buildings. When the tobacco is taken from the bales it is distributed to the pickers, who take the bundles, sort them, stretch the leaves, remove the strong fibre that runs down the middle of the leaf and place the leaves that are to serve as wrappers upon one side. For this work they receive ten centi gold for every ten bundles. The fillings, or pieces of leaf that arc too small for wrap pers, are then carried up to the second floor, where they are spread out and separated into five different classes according to the strength of the flavor aud the fineness of the h-af. Five shafts run down to the floor beneath, and each shaft is fed with toliacco of a different class. These shafts dejiot.it the tobacco in the room wher the cigar makers are at work, aud each man, when he wants more tobacco, takes a square piece of canvas aliout the size of a large pocket handkerchief to the attendant, who tills it from the proper shaft Besides these five kinds of lilliugs there is a still finer quality, coiiipohed of th.'piecis cut eff the wrappers of the liest cigars and used to fill the cigars that are t commnnd the Ingest price in the market. Meantime the wrappers are hand ed over to skilful operators, who carefully sort them according to their fineness and color. This is the nuist important part of the whole process as the 1 rolits of cigar making depend upon the nice jugdiiient shown by the men who separate the wrap 'rs and who give the cigar-makers the kind suited to their fillings. Should a fine wrapper lie used for an inferior cigar it would lie clear was'.e, and if a fine cigar be wrapped in a rough leaf it would lie thrown out by the man wlio separates the cigars. The room in w hich the cigars are made is a large, lofty apartment, with a stone floor. The cigarmaker sit in rows at ireiichcs, which are divided off by low partitions, to prevent the tobacco or cigars of two adjoin ing makers becoming mixed. A little board, black with tobacco juice, lies on the bench. L'pon this the cigars are rolIciL The cigarmaker takes from his heap of fiil- iniis enough tobacco to make a cigar. This he fashions into shape, aud then, taking a leaf from his heap of wrappers he folds it carefully round the fillings, beginning at the small end, trimming it with a sharp knife, and cutting it square off at the other en'L Then he takes a smali piece ot grease. smears it on ihe wrapper, aud Ihus closes the smaller end of the ciar. Many cigar makers give the end a twist in their mouths and this is especially the case with the neg roes engaged in this department. Each operator has a little mould marked with the size of cigar he is making, and the cigar must measure exactly the proper length marked on the mould, and must pass through a hole bored in it. As soon as fifty cigars are finished they are tied in a bundle, and a slip of paper marked with the number of the maker is stuck under the string. When the time for paying comes the proprietor goes over these bundles and pays so much per thousand for the cigars made. The rate varies from $11 to $12 per thousand, according to the size of the cigars and the excellence of the leaf. The best workmen are employed on the very finest kinds and can make as many as seventy-five cigars in the day. The rough and cheap kinds are much more easy to make, and a good folder can turn out over 200 cigars in eight hours, White men, negroes and coolies are em- Dlored In cigar-making, but white labor is found to be by far the most intelligent, and coolie labor the least so. Indeed, the coolies ara mostly employed In opening the bundles and separating the fillings from the wrap nets, aud verv few of them are al'owed to fold cigars. The cigar-makera, at least the white ones, are a thriftless. lazv Set, A folder will work until he has enough money for his immediate wants aud then he will at once leave his work until he is driven ba?k penniless. One young, good-looking folder, engaged in making the best kinds of cigara, was pointed out by the proprietor aa a curious example of this want of appli cation. He works hard during five daysof the week, making a tidy sum of money. Every Saturday night he visits a ready- made clothes shop, buys a new suit, and earlv on Sundav sues either to the seashore or to the river, "strips bathes and, ou com- j H'S house was in Li I -city street m ar N'as ing out, puts on his new suit. Leaving the au- During the U-isler anarchy, which old one. bouirht the previous week, on the bank, he goes on a spree which lusts until his money is all smnl, when he returns to work. Women are also employed in sort ing tobacco, hut they are in a separate building, as it was found that the co-education of the sexes does not work as well in a Cuban cigar factory as in the rethctic atmos phere of a New England college. They are of all colors ranging from a pure while through every variety of cream and choco late up to a shining black. They ail smoke, generally the very strongest cig.irs. I'nlike the clerk in the candy store, who is allowed to gorge himself at first, and who never cares for the aweet treasures again, men and women in tobacco factories do not lose their taste for smoking. 'Ihe manufacturers forbid smoking during work : hours for it distracts the attention, aud the cigars are less carefully made. But the supply of cigars is almost unlimited, aud every workman is allowed to carry away two or three. These cigais are made by boys who are only beginning, and whose prod tic: ions are not good enough for market. When the cigars are counted and the mak ers paid, the former are sent up stairs and carefully sorted, fiist to remove the badly made ones and those with rough wrappers anl th'-n to divide them, according to the color of the leaf, into colorados and ma duros. hen this is done they are ready to be placed in the boxes which are made in a separate part of the factory. The boxes when tilled, are placed under a piess and the cigar is then ready for sale. liiieketf Marksmanship. At the Mission Dolores close to San Francises a Western lad of twenty years of age. had often supported apples and held coins for Mr. Hackett to practice upon in perilous fashion, and one day ou the invas ion of a dinner party, a spechd exhibition was to be had. The marksman was to cleave pact a. n apple on the youth's h.ad at ten , Before the time came, however, an 1 ingenious gentleman, celebrated in the Fast as well as the Wist for his practical jokes brii-ed the lad to go through a carefully re hearsed scene.

Lord Chancellor Souiers, by the tory lords who came into power in the last days of S illiaiu IIL Kidd was by birth aa Jnsh man or Scotchman (for both countries claimed him), who distinguished himself as a privateer commander in the war against the French, and with the wealth acquired from pnvateenug settled m ew ork. Preceded the arrival of the eari of Bella nionte, Kidd rendered the city valuable services for which the governor and asscm- bly presented him t'loi). So great was his reputation as a successful naval otticer that the colony of Massachusetts, in Di'il, tried to hire him to lake charge of an expedition against a privateer which was then ravaging their coasts. 1'iracy and freebooting had then crown to a most alarming extent, es pecially in tiie Indian ocean. Many of them were soi-disanl privateers from New York and other American colonies who, beginning with the pursuit of French and Spanish ships iu th? end extended their operations to those of all nations. It was to put dowu these Re t sea mcu," as they were called, that Kidd was sent out in the Adventure galley with his crew of scape graces and desperadoes. Among his patrons I and partners 111 the e.-ediiion were bomera. Halifax, and other powerful whig lords and even the king himself offered to invest 3,000 in the undertaking. Arrived in the Indian ocean, Kidd found his insuliordinatc crew more ready to take sides wilh the pirates than to light them. He captured some vessel which he claimed were sailing under French papers. It was his misfor tune that this mutinous crew prevented bis taking them before a prize court.

Others de- ! scribe the scene iu the Winter Palace after the explosion. As soon as the news got abroad the corridors were filled with an ex cited crowd, each member of it giving a different version of the affair. From ail the private apartments poured 'he stream. Court chamberlains, in. coats that gleamed with rich gold embroideries hurried down from the Hall of St. tleorgc : and an army of white-capped cooks denied from the sulc jterranean kitchens. Lour: lames with, sweeping trains ana sparkling jewels is- sued from their dressing rooms and the watchmen, with their wives and families came from their huts upon the roof. Hound the statue of Alexander gathered a medley throng of officers in full uniform, maids of honor, coachmen, grooms, scul lions and hundreds of the inmates of the palace, whose names are supposed to be registered by the Minister of the Imperial Household, but who are in reality as little noticed by him as the colonists who settle in Russian forests are noticed by the pro prietor of the estate. The first impulse of all these people was to liasten to offer their congratulations to the Emperor. Their second was to return thanks for the preser vation of the palace itself. In their eyes the building is saoreiL The gilt cross on the cupola of tiie private chapel, w hich sur vived the tire of ls:;7. symbolizes to them the blessing which rests upon it. It was this feeling which animated the workmeu by whose industry it rise again to its old magnificence. It was this feeling that caused the humblest mujiks to bring their contributions to the expenses of reconstruc tion. The news that no damage had been sustained by the heirl.ioiiis of the palace, that the portraits was undisturbed, the im perial uniforms unsinged, the court jewels uninjured, was received by the inmates with extreme satisfaction. All along the river side, between the Neva, and the Palace, surged a mass of the ppulace, in sheepskins and furs and torches flashed to and fro upon the ice. .Many of the aristoc racy hastened down to Newsky Prospect to offer their congratulations but the poiiee had strict orders to let no drovsky pas the gates. At early morning the Emperor drove to the Kazan Church and returned thanks to the Virgin for his fifth preserva tion from death. VI" by Be Reformed. Edward Delaney was an old-timer, and be looked it every inch of him as be scraped bis boot soles to his Honor in the Jefferson Market Court. "Back again," said the Magistrate, look ing up and recognizing him. '"We haven't seen you for many a day." The prisoner tried to suppress a hiccough and murmured very solemnly: '"No more you have, sir, no more you have. I've been a much altered man lately. You wouldn't kuow me for the last six months." "Indeed. Given up drinking, then?'" "Not a drop of liquor did 1 iaste in all that time, sir. Honor bright." "You don't mean to say you gave up loating?'' said his Honor, in surprise. "Not a day's work did 1 lose, sir. I'p early and at it rigut smart till night. Oh, I did not waste my time, depend on it." 'Goodness me, what a reform'" "le"fonii! You may well say that.

Jerusalem T-IaT. The view of Jerusalem fnn the west is us ialiy the first obtained by travelers from Europe who have landed at Jaffa, the ancient Jappa ; but the best is -from tU Moun of Olives on the east of the city. This last quite overlooks the town, and the spectator who staiuls upon the .Mount can see every considerable building and mot (f the principle hoiL-es. The city seems to slope from wist to east, with a slight depression in the centre. On the southeast is the Mosque of Omar, sur rounded by extensive and licautifiil grounds, occupying about one-eighth of the modern town. The inelosure is covered by green sward and is do ted over with olive, cypres ! and other trees, towering almve which is I tl u-;.i. .l:....

The n rthc:ist is less buiit upon, but the centre is crowded, and in that direction rises the famous Church of the Holy Sepulchre, or of Ihe Holy Places with its conspicuous domes. Eight or ten minarets also catch the eye, indicat ing s- many mosques in different localities. For the rest the observer will pause t. notice the many low houses and the flat plastered roofs of the humbler dwellings.

A new Australian delicacy is finding its way into the Lindon markets in the shape of dried kangaroo tongues. The tails and skins of these animals have long been ntiliztd the former tor making soup, the latter for leather; and the recent destruc tion of kangaroos has given considerable impetus o these two trades. Straek by the wa-te of food occasioned by the slaugh ter of so many thousand; of these marsup ials whose bodies are frequently left to rot where thry have fallen, a Warroo settler made an experiment in curing the tongues of some of the slain, and so highly were they approved that a considerable trade has spring up in this commodity. The tongues are usually cured by drying in smoke, like the ICussiau reindeer tongues; but a much Iietter plan is to preserve them in tins like tiie sheep and ox tongues prepared in America. Tongues lend themselves to this treatment better than almost any other por tion of an animal, as they stand the exces sive toiling better than beef or mutton. The Hollar Mark. Regarding the $ mark on our money, gome think that the sign is a sirt of a monogram of the United States, from U. S. The American dollar, say others is taken from the Spanish dollar, and the sign is to found, of course, in the associa tions of the Spanish dollar. On the reverse of the Spanish dollar is a representation of the Pilhirs of Hercules and around each pillar is a scroll with the inscription l'l'lu vlra." This device in the course of time has degenerated into the sign which stands; at present for American as well as Spanish dollars, The scroll around the pillars ! represents the two serpents sent by Juno to destroy Hercules in his cradle. Still ' others say : The sign is derived from the Spanish fuertts, or hard, and was adopted . to distinguish hard dollars from paper ones. Ihe letters i-s were used at nrsi, om an taey also stood lor francs anil norms iue a was curved around the f, and forms the ' present dollar mark. OLD ITUTKIIJil r1
