"I do not know how I shall ever

But he did not argue the point any

The next day Uncle Abner Flint, to

if it would be convenient for him to re

So Marah Flint promised to be tae
wife of the young man from the store.
Mrs. Flint sighed and shook her head,
aud said she didn't know how ever she
should uiauasre without Marah. Grand

Little Tommy Loeman, the millionaire
cast-boy is the lion of Boston. Hundreds
of inquiries have been made for him by
curious customers at the dry irond house
where be was employed. But Tommy
was not at h i p ist. He bade farewell to
bis euv'ous friends at Jordan Jfc Marsh's
recently, when the younirs'.ers gave him a
glorious "send off." so they sav. "Yes,
and he's eiin to do sometuitu handsome
for us when he gels to Australia," added
one emhusiasli'; urchin. "He's going to
write to me every week." The fortunate
id is at Amesbury, Ma."., where he
oas been takn tor a brief visit before
Parting for St. John. A correspondent

un'ier recent misfortune which will parti
cularly fit him for an influential career If
he can bear the test of good fortune. The
vast property to which he and his younger
nrother and sister are made the prnspeo
' i vc heirs is even larger than was at first
reported. It is expected that more than
1 1 000.000 will sooner or later be divided
among them.
The hisTiwy of this great fortune and its
P'issessors is soon told. Some forty-five
years ago Michael Iiiemas of county I ip-
erary, xreiaud, graduated trom uujnn
L Diversity, and started for Australia to
seek hie fortune. His success was lnime-
liate. He was employed by a wealthy
resident of Melbourne, in who- service he
rapidly advanced, and finally be married

ture was a lgmented by an inheritance of

day he is one f the most wealthy men on
the continent. Meantime his brother.

He left two children James, the father ot
the the three children wlij are to be the
heirs to their granduncle's property, aud
Mrs. B. Higgins, a poor woman ot New
York; who hs been giving a home to
Tommy and his brother since the death of
their father in Juue last. The mother ot
the three children died some years ago.
I deir millionaire granduncle learned a tew
weeks a:;3 of his nephew's death, and be
ing chadless, he determined to make the
orphans, whom he had never seen, his
heirs. On the death of his lather last
summer. Tommy Loeman, who bail spent
his childiioid in the putrfic schools, an

Pesbaralles, th noted author of "The
Mysteries of the Hand," has returned to

of chiromancy is not. as one mignt imag

impostor. He was the Intimate friend cf

noted personages of France have found
their way to his unpretending suite of
apartments on the Boulevard St. Michael.
He affects none of the airs ot s sorcerer;

place as possible, its only remarkable or
nament being a p ortrait of the elder Du
mas banging upon the walk with the in
cr piion beneath It. "To my dear friend
Desbarolies." penned by the novelist him
self. A letter from Dumas, neatly framed.
hangs near this portrait, and a copy of
bes Impressions dn Voytge occupies the
place of houor on the table. A good many
Americans. I am told, come to test the
skill of the famous chirmomancian. In
one instance two American ladies came to
consult him. After telling them a num
ber of curious particulars respeciiug their
traits ot character; their tastes, their intel
lectual tendeacies. etc., he added some In
formation respecting the future. To the
one he predicted the approach oi me
greatest sorrow that her life bad yet known
she lost a near and passionately beloved
relative before three montns bad elapsed.
To the other he said; " i ou will shortly
be placed in great danger of death, should
you scape the coming peril, your life will
be long and kapoy one." Before tne

near bein drowned while on a fishing ex
cursion witn some friends near Pans, and
was only saved by the courage and pres
ence of miutl of one of her companions,
who se z-d her by the wrist and managed
to hold her above water, till more efficient
aid cculd be summoned, Desbaroltes was
also frequently consulted by the impress
Kugenie, who was fond of prying into the
future; despite her bigotted Cthilicisin.
it is said that ne predicted to her in 1SS0
that sne would lose her throne, and would
end her days in exile, ".Not upon the
the scaffold M, Djsbarolles?" asked the
Umpress eagerly, as she had always been
nauHted bv a presentiment that she was
destined to perish as did Marie Antoinette.
On receiving a decisive negative she sought
lo learn no more, Desbarolles also fore
told Mine. Musard the splendid fortune
wnich she was to awe to the liberality of
the king ot Holland, aud which made her
one of tue richest women in Europe. But
it was not from Desbarolles, but irom the
scarcely less famous clairvoyant, ttdtnend
that Louts iNapoleon learned that he was
fated to die by the knife in London. The
emperor, who waa extremely supers! itious
aswasabo iapileou the Great, fancied
ihat he was to meet his death at the hands
of some political refugee. As he died
from the effects of a surgicrl operation.the
prediction was. oidly enough fulfilled.
Chougn in a diltercut sense from what is at
first apparent. Desbarolles is a small,
dned-up, white haired personage, with Tery
charming aud polished manners. He is
now about seventy years of age.

down to lower altitudes in large herds. In
