"HeU never marry you, Pass," said
Joliu Arclier. Little Bella, Jits grand
daughter, looked up, with wistful, star
tled eye.
"Why not, grandfather ? I think
I'm almost sure he like me."
Bella 'Archer had neither niotlcr nor
sister, and hadbeeu ui thebubit ot mak
ing all her maiden confidence" to her
grandfather,
OKI John took his pipe out of his
mouth, and wntched the blue curls of
the smoke as thev floated up iuto the
air. i
My girl," said he, "I think he does
like you. But he's in tkbt, my dear.
He's terribly tied down with that old
mortgage, and the notes his father died
and left him to pay on. Ana Hester
Morris has a clear 81,000 of hjr own. A
man can't afford to push fortune aside
when she meets him face to face."
"If I tLought so, grandfather
Little girl," said John, not without
a kindly pity in his voice, "you dou't
know the world as well as I dr."
Bella silently rose from her seat, and
taking a blue-edged china bowl in her
hand, went cut to gather curraufcs for
tea and to be alone and think.
"If Charier Wa'bTs can be as merce
nary as that," she thought, with the
big drops of crystal starting tohtreyes,
"then there is no truth and honesty left
in all the world."
"Bella !"
Through the green wail of tall bushes
the gleam of a pair of merry hazel eyes
glittered upon her. and the next mo
ment Charley Walters was at her side.
"I was coming this way ou an errand
from the mill," said he, "and

you are crying ! What for ?"
"I I don't kuow!" faltered poor
Bella, hanging down her head.
"But you must Ull me ! Dear Bella,
your tears fall like drops of tire ou my
head, for I love you. Bella !"
"Oh, Charley !'
. "I have loved you this long tunc,
dear," he went on, tenderly pressing
her hand iu his ; "only I dared not ask
vou to ehare my uncertain future. But
lome day, Bella, when I have paid off
the debts and hove a home to offer
you, will yon come and be its little
queen ?"
And Bella, half, crying, half laughing
promised that she would.
"But," said she, with a de-jure twiu
lle in her blue eyes, "Hester Morrk is
much more of au heiress theu I am.
Hester Morris has a tbousaud dollars
ah of her own, aud I haven't a thousand
cents."
"1 love you, said Charley, "and I
dou't love Hester Morris ! Tuere's where
it is, ray little one. Aud although I
ean't denv that a thousand dollars would
be very acceptable to me, still I don't
propose to sele myself for any .noh sum
of money as that."
Half au hour later Old John Archer

depreeatmgly. "Oh. that belongs to

''Yes, sir," said Bella, coloring aud

"What will you take for it !"
"Take for it ? Take fr that ugly

With an Herb Itjrtor.
A half century aero medicinal roots
and leaves played conspicnous pirta in
the practice of mediciue. True, hert
re still used as much as ever in the
manufacture of medieiue, but it is only
the extract which enters into the phy
sician's prescriptions and not the 'Toot
and branches." A Jersey City report' r
found on til corner of one of the streets
iu the Eighth Ward, a tiny shop where
aromatic odors, which streamed foith
from the open door, proclaimed h:?rbs
of all varieties for sale. The store was
rather unique in its way, with its colony
orbkek cats, whose baks forms tan
gents and angles in a provoking manner
wheu aiiy stranger entered on their do
mains. Large sheaves of herbs hung
peadant from the ceiling, and mysterious
rows of tin boxes told of unutterable
somethings which should hereafter serve
as ponltices or ts draughts. The propri
etor, Mr. Charles E. Denuison, was ex
tremely affable, and ia answer to nu
merous questions gave his expurieuea
as an herb doctor about as follows :
"My business lias ex ien Jed over a
number of years, and were I to tell you
all my adventures with herbs, aud with
the faithful, i j whom a root is so ue
thmg to swear by, I wonll fill yojr
newspaper. I obtain Jthe greater part
of my stoek from the wooded country
around the town of Hancock, Berk
shire county. Mass, The herlw are
gathered by iersoiis of eousiibtrable
botaiucsl knowledge, and are shipped
to me iu cases. Among tlie herbs I
receive lrom Massaehuselts, are tausy,
catnip, wiutergreen, white oak bark,
birch bark and elin bark. Wuen they
arrive here I dry them, and sometimes
weeks elapse before they are in a proper
condition to seil. I gathtr a quantity
of herbs iu New Jersey, arouud Hobokeu
aud Weehawkeit, and reeeivo a few
others from ihe Sjnth and West. Last
season I sold over a tin of birch bark
from which birch beer was brewed. It
makes what is called a temperance
drink. I sell a large quantity of hops
for making hop niliow.s. It is a very
old remedy for i..souiuia, and is prescrib
ed by every tlderly womau iu the
Eastern States. That there is great
virtue iu them there cau lie no doubt,
as I have tried them when troubled
with nervousness aud wakeful nights
and they have invariably relieved me.
I fancy there is an increase iu the herb
business, no; gtueially, but iu the lower
part of this city. A base number of
colored persoHS hive Settled iu the
Eighth Ward, and their demands for
herbs are astonishingly largi. A few
years ago tlie market was overrun wit h
Indiau herb doctors. They have all
disappeared now, aud I do not know of
one that is ledt to continue the bilsiu.
There is aa Indian living iu Macd mga;
Street who is oue of my best custoaiers.
He will Lot take a prescription from a
phys.ciau, but when he feels iiidespuseJ
lie comes kore for the particular herb
which seems to meet ins wants. Among
the herbs that are commonly used as
tonics are quassia wood and wild cherry
bark, and gentian wood givta thj 1
strength to bitters. Oeutiau wood is
used also ai a substitute ior cuewing
tobacco.
"Suiierotiiion enters to a marked de
gree iu the sale of herbs, There is a
root knowu as the putiy-rooi to me in
itiated, and to the popular mind as
Ailam and Eve, whieh, in the minds
of beheveis, combines tlie most sti ik
ing aptiearauce with powers of good or
evd that are marvellous. It grows iu
the meadows of the Eastern States, and
the origin of the superstition resia
among the Southern negrows. It is
triangular in shape and has two long
rojts reaching out in opposite directions.
It is said to bring good fortune to any
person who may possess it, I sell them
for SI apiece. Before they ore properly
prepared, however, their .wonderful
virtues remain dormeut. The way iu
which the negro completes the charm
of A-lam and Eve is very curious. He
first obtains a ghss bottle whieh will
hold about two- ounces of liquid ; he
fills this with gin and then places the
root iu the liquor to soak. Alter a short
time the superstitions oues claim that
Adam, having less evil iu his specific
gravity than Eve, will float, and hi less
righteous iMttter-Jiail will siuk lusiauier.
A colored woman who Uvea iu . Doiui-

something to break the charm. Of

Holders of Adam aud Eve are very care
ful to let no other person toueu me

luck leaves the bottle whenever it la
touched by any person except the
owner. A number of other roots have
the same attraction to superstitious
people. Any herb that is especially
peculiar in shape or color is immediately
theught to be a taiismau of some power.
The blood-root is aiwajs cuoseu be

WaMiatin Hws.-
Th West end ot Wasiuneton has suiwd
a continual improvement during the rist
five or sir years. It has been very notice
able during the past season, and some of
tbe houses that are to be occupied this fall
are in every resptet tne fcamlsooiest ihat
have ever been erected in the city. The
Q'leen Arrnc style of architecture prediion
nates, and in almost every case, black
mortar has been used m tbe outside walls.
Tbe plasterme .has exceeded anything in
the way ot effect that bas ever been done
here, the cornices: and fnez-s being very
heavy.- Hard woods, eeneraMy of a light
color, have hem used for oeeriy all inside
purpose Tse finishing up ot the fire
places with ornaments! mantels aa4 tiles
gives the rooms a coziucss and attractive
ness that have never been surpassed. In
many of these houses antique furniture
will oe put' In others a modern furniture
of the same general design wilt be used.
Beauty and quaint nets are obiecU aimed
at in constructing aad furnUhicr. . In
many instances, niori money is spent in
designing and erecting the nunteis than
was in tbe past required to furaUh the en
tire ror.n. There is, however,' ia these
new houses, less regard shown for outside
effects in the way of approache, lawns,
etc., than in the past, the most attention
beiog devoted to inside attractions. , lux.
tenors are very picturesque. Pretty ga
bles, verandas, porticos, arcbe I entrances,
are to be seen in them all. Cn-ks of all
sizes, styles and shapes have been used, in
many intsances h iving been made espe
cially for the houses in which they are
used.
Ex-Senator Blaine's new house now hav
ing the finishing touches rut on it, excels
every house in its neuibljorbood, ami can
justly be regarded as a triumph m the
building art. It has many visitota and
almost as many admirers. I he Man cor
respondent was told a little story about
this house to day by a builder, whica il
lustrates bow much fine modem houses
cost. Mr. Blaine was in Xow York re
oently and read in ona of the papers Ihcre
a finely prepared description of Governor
Tilden's new mansion. One liniii: that
struck biui particularly was the way the
dining-room was finished out. He visited
tbe house aad was particularly pleased
with it He iinaiediately niade up his
miud tbat tbe diniug-rooni f his own
bouse should be tilted ou'. like it He ac
cordingly telegraphed his builder to meet
him in Mew York. The two then visited
Mr. Tilden's house. The builder was
then asked to prepare an estimate of what
it would coel to make tbe Blaine diiiig
room like it. Tue bu lder made the m -cessary
calculations, talked with Mr. Til
den's contractor, and then sat douaud
began figuring. In two days he gave .Mr.
Blaine his answer. "Wei', how riue'.i
will it costi" Mr. Blaine askeL ".My
figurine," replied the buildtr, niU it at
d2,'Hjo." "I am supposed to be an uu
usuaily rich man," remarked Mr. lllaina
in reply, "but I'll tell you candidly I cau l
gland S'icli a dining-room as that 1 d
like it very much, and while Governor
Tilden can have such things, I'll have to
dismiss the thought Why, my inure
house won 1co3t more than id,Ooo $r-
000 for a dinine-room ! We will have to
give it up. Governor Tildon is ou top this
tune, sure.1
The builder returned, aad Mr. B alae i
dining-room will be fitted out according to
the original plan. It is elegant, however,
as it is, but much of its elegance is in its
simplicity of arrangement aud finish. The
fine residences oi Senator Pendleton and
Xtcpresentattve Robeson, on Sixteenth
street, will be occupied this winter. I hey
are in central appearance similar, the
Robeson uian3iou being the larger. It is
also more massive. Gilded sunflowers do
duty at the top of the lightning rods.
Sixteeuth street, next to Pennsylvania
avenue, is the widest street iu the city.
It has recently bum repaved, and is des
tined to be a very attractive thoroughfare.
Colonel Jerome Bonaparte's bouse, on K
street, near Sixteenth, which his been in
course of erection tor tbe past two years,
will soon be completed. It is la the
(jueea Anne style, low ceilings and small
panes of glass heme the rule ot the first
floor. The ceilings of the other floors are
higher. The workmanship is perfect.
Hard woods showing tae grain J are used
in all parts of it Tue mantels are a study
in themselves.
A lucKy capture oi Spanish uaileoas, la

Wagon-loatls of the "litlllaliag dust' thus
imported being publicnly sold at '-i and
41a pound, Ihe box soon rivaled and at
length eclipsed the pipe. Sir Plume, "of
amber snuff justly vain," became a char
acter, and was kept in countenauee as well
by "the lair at the drawin room as the
Chairman in tne streets. 10 parody a
well-known line, "Snuff ru ed the Court,
tlie camp, the grove." Snuff-taking was
elevated to the rank of a pa.-won by the
was and beaux of scietv. To ellsr a box
gracefully lcame an educational require
ment, aud a general flourish of snull-'ooxes
took nlace. if not "all over the land," as
Cowpcr said, at least from Pall Mall lo the
'CLangc. A pinch to conciliate, a pineu
to contemn ; a pinch gave pungency to
the jest, a relish lo sarcasir, and equally
served to cover embarrassment and chag
rin. Talleyrand used t'j sav anil he was
a iriicur that the snuff-box was essen
tial to all great politicians, as nine ior
thought in answering awkward questions
was gained in tawing, or preleuUmg to
take, a pinch. Certainly Piiuee Melter-
nich was devoted to the box, and diploma
tists generally appeared to have viewed it
with favor, as welL indeed, they might,
when some .1'ijOOO or i.'!000 were expended
in the purchase of boxes for presentation
to t.Teign iiinicttrs at the coroustK-n of

the poorest paid of all railway officials, as
they are closely confined and serve long

In toe new rage for colored light in
rooms, the efli-et may le bad any one of
several ways. It mar be by the expen
sive stained glass, in regufar designs,
set in lead, frames, which frames are
not considered to intet fere with the pat
tern. Indeed, they are sometimes used
to make the pattern against a pe:fectiy
plain, one-staia glass, forming a trellis
work, or lattice-work, upon the color,
and very good iu effect. The plain col
ored glass, in small pane.-, in whieh no
picture is attempted, but simply gives
the varied arr uigeoient of c dor against
the light, is also much in favor, and ex
tremely cheap.. Upper sashes are be
ing removed to make way for the small,
lattice-like square panes, which, in
tin mselves, give the effect of shade in
the vrindow.
But (he skilful housekeeper can get
at many ol theee effects by her window
haingings alone. The pretty colored
figured "Madras," suspended across the
lower sash, makes as good an effect as
of stained glass were used. There Ls a
great variety in these patterns, chiefly
in the old soft ' colors, old blue, old
ronge, ' dull saffrons' and brownish
greens, all giving iu their fabric and
clear gronud of the material a clear
and iKl ' medium for the daylight
There are some other prints, rich fur
niture prints, cretonnes, or even dress
calicoes ami furniture covering, thin
and cheap, which Rive the same . effect
precisely in a short curtain, only you
must choose th.-m by holding faem rq
to the light, not by their looks on the
counter. Xoiie of these moadinm,
either the stoned K,1UiB the Madras
or the cotton, have much regard to the
outside ot the window. Their effect is
for the inside only. When only the
outside is looked to, the black grouud
curtains of madias or gaiuw, some of
them as cheap as thirty oeuts, make
veiy effective and beamiful hangings,
but they are apt to throw the iuide of
the room iuto a funeral tou.?, precisely
as a gauze wire soecii does.
For effect that is equally good with
out and within, the short dnqicries of
Florence silk, hung by rings ou a roil
or euro, are very beautiful. These may
be nsed either across tlie npjier or lower
sash, .a white "Madras" sprigged, or
clear m'lslin, or short liu"e curtaiu being
hung above or U-iow. Sometimes a
rose colored it blue Florence, or the
wider Marcelliue silk, all thin and dia
phonons stuffs, is siuiply swung across
tbe lower pane, while all alaive will le
lace haiiciiitr in full folds. Or the color
may lie draped across the upper sash,
jnst suspended on a rod anilier, Xile
greeu, honey-color, strawberry or dam
sou while a simple fulled-in muslin
curtain covers the lower sash. Any
material that lets the light through aud
tints it is available, nun's veiling as
good aa any, if the silk does not give
the needed tone. If there be any virtue
in colored lights, we are likely to get
it this wiuti-r iu many of the newly-
fitted house; not blue Rlaas any more.
but all the tints of the rainbow or the
coal-tar dye, in more variety still are
roiue to le cast uikju complexions ami
constitutions. The yellow room, the
too bine, niuk or brown, can lie experi-
m.oitl iiimu. and by the end of
the . asoi soiucIkxIv will, like enough,
be ready to prove that the blue
rooms calms the uervea, the piuk rallies
the depressed creature iuto liveliness
and excitement, and the yellow keeps
up a cheerful family, the brown a sedate
and sniier goiujiuspositnBi.

By means of freezing, parts may be
rendered wholly insensible to pain, so
that slight surgical oj.eratious may be
eas ly preformed. When tlie freezing
is long continued, the frozen parts may
lose their vitality entirely, which will
.v.nsn tin-in to slou'-h away. By this
means txere.sceuces, as warts, wens and

this means. A convenient mode of ap
