JAMES SIlkpSON.

A Romance of the Rail.B Y A . T . S.

CHAPTER n .“This is your brothers address ?” • I

asked liuth, as we approached Borne,reading a card she gave me._

"Yes; you are surprised! Why?” “This is such a miserable quarter.” “ Oh, he is very poor, and always

saving—saving to he able to give me a home,” she said. “He says I never shall he happy as a governess, nor lie to know me one.”

"Bath,” I said, taking her hand, as we drove the streets! “ let me call you so. “I am not a stranger now ; I am a brother to you. wishing to be to you more than any brother. But I ’m not going to speak of that now. Are you prepared for a great shock? I know that brave mind well. I mean if your brother should be very ill—dying- dead?”

She shuddered.“You have said the word; I could

not. I have been thinking, day afterday, that he is dead ; that is why------”

“Why no one met you ?”“Yes.”“I fear, poor child, you may be right.

You will bear up bravely, and you willlet me be a brother to you till------”

How our cab stopped. ’“This street is enough to kill him,”

she said. “Surely it is not here?”We had stopped in on’e of the nar-

ow, filthy—as a matter of course— foul smelling streets, o f which there are plenty in Borne.

“It is here,” I said, as the cabmam opened the door. I gave the word “WaitR’ and lifted her out.

Up the dank, chill, dirty stair—up and up. A t last we reached a door on which the poor fellows card was nail­ed. She seemed to gather courage now. She led the way through the dark ante-room, in which I paused. I lis­tened. I heard a smoothered exclaim- ation from her; from him a cry so shrill as to be almost a scream.

“Butli!”I walked to the head of the staircase,

and waited there perhaps half an hour, Then she came to me—came close up to me, and laid her hand on my arm. The expression of the piteous eyes lifted to mine told me there was no hope. With a caressing wordj I drew her to me. She leant her jforehead against my arm a moment; then:

“Frank wants to see you; Frank wants to thank you!” she said, in a scarcely audible voice.

I followed her into the room. The full light ■ of a small square window, from which one could see the Tiber, the Castle of St. Angelo, and the line of Mons Janiclus,’ was streaming on a low-couch where my poor young school­fellow lay. I saw directly that life with him was a question of no more than days, perhaps o f onl> hours. -

Yet wliat-a beautiful bright face it was still. .What a light streamed froin those radiant eyes, as he, with­out rising—he was past that—stretch­ed both hands towards me!

Buth was crouching by him; one hand soon clutched her again, the oth­er grasped mine as I sat down by him. In this strange world how often are simple deeds, that cost nothing to the doer, most richly rewarded.

What had I done? What sacrifice had I made? And how they thanked and blessed me! He with his difficult- spoken, faint words; she with her blessed eyes confirming bis praises. A few words explained the.ease.'

He had rallied after sending the first telegram, and had thought it need­less that Buth should come. He had not calculated on the possibility of her starting as immediately as she had done; the second message which hid her not come had not reached her. A few days after—two days since now- he had broken a blood-vessel, and bad been pronounced beyond hope,

“I f only I had known of this sooner!”I thought, as I looked at the miserable room, and thought of my idle hundreds and thousands. When, by-and-by— Buth for a brief while absent—a. wo­man, living in the rooms below, ’\y.ho had been very kind to Frank, had tak­ing her away to give her some refresh- .ments — I stamrneriugly expressed something of my regret, he answered:

“It is • better as it 19; for I am well content.”• “Is your sweet sister free?” I asked —“free from any engagement—free­hearted?”

I spoke low and hastily, and felt in my being how much hung upon his an ' swer.

“My little Buth ? Oh, yes; as far as I knowi And she has never had any secrets from me.” — "

“I love her,” I responded. “I f she can love me, I will do what a man can do to make alwoman happy as a wife.”

He did not immediately answer.’ He lay with closed eyes; and I felt; the tigliening pressure of his hand.

“I-may tell her by-and-by that I had your goo'd wishes ?” -

“You may -tell her”—the radiant eyes unclosed on me—̂“that in my last hours I drank a full .cup of happiness, .believing that my' darling, my little Buth, my ewe-lamb; my pet sister, would lie happy among happy women as your wife.” "

“You have not lost your generous- hearted enthusiasm for a ' very un­worthy fellow,” I answered;

Hothing I have heard of, my old

friend, my protector, my benefactor, has tended to lessen those feelings,” he said.

“ One word o f yours in your sister’s ear will make m e-1— ”' She came in at that moment. I was

going to leave them together, but he begged one not to go; and while lie spoke, a mortal faintness surprised him. It passed, however. He asked to be lifted up. The recumbent posi­tion was painful to him. He lay with his head on Eutli’s shoulder, bright hair mingled with bright hair.

The doctor5 came and went, and the woman who hadnursedhiin. They-both foreboded that the last hour was near. It was an afternoon not to he forgot­ten. He said he did not suffer much; and every now and again he talked. Buth did not shed a tear. She seemed absorbed in him beyond consciousness of self or sorrow'. She moistened his lips or wiped his brow continually, and her eyes seemed to cling to his.

The sunset entering the room and touched those two. She was watching him intently. His eyes only half open­ed, seemed to look at her dreamily, like the eyes of one who dozes off to sleep.

The light faded, the dusk gathered. W e did not stir believing that lie slept. By-ancl-by, through1 the gloom,the near bush and tlie distant noise of the great city, Buth’s voice, low and awe-struck, reached me, asking for light I had fallen into profound thought.

Idle, love, death and immortality, failure, success and the world’s vanity —I do not know what I did not think of as I sat motionless in that dusky room. I procured a lamp. I sat it

.down on the-table, where the light fell on those faces. I found that Buth had sunk lower and lower as the bead on lier shoulder grew heavier.

A glance told me the truth. He Was dead. She saw it, she knew it. She sank down lower yet, till the bright hair was on! the pillow, hers beside it. She moaned softly, lying cheek to cheek. I heard a few words:

“Brother, take me—take me with you. I have none but you.”

Then she lay quite still, half on tlie couch, half on the floor, face to face with the dead.

What did I do ? I stood and looked at ‘them. As I stood and looked at them, I went through one of those ex­periences that it is no use to try and record—that are written on the life of life forever. By-and by I found she was lying in a dead faint. I disentan­gled them 'then, and laid her on the floor on as good a couch as I could make of my wrapper and the cushions

an old chair. I had told her the

bly firm refusal. Her gratitude was so full and so lowly, her agitation so great, that I could not he angry with her; but I was greatly irritated, and turned my irritation against myself— cursed myself that I could find no words strong enough to convince her. It was just like me, she told me—just like sbe had always beard of me. Sbe ■would always love me with the most grateful reverent love, always remem­ber me in her prayers; bnt be my wife —no!

It was long before I could get a rea­son why; but at last I tortured it from her. She believed that I was sacrificing' myself-that Iloyedher becauseslie was friendless and alone. But she was not fit for me she told me; she had not the accomplishments, tlie education, the talent, the beauty, the anything that my Wife should have. As for her fu­ture, I need not be anxious she assured me. Mrs. aSTorris had told her that here, in Rome she could procure her a suitable situation.

At last, when I had exhausted every argument, or thought I had, and de­spaired, at all events, of present suc­cess, I grew hurt and angry. I turned from her to a window, and stoo1 look­ing out, A veil of blackness gathered between me and all I looked on. I was ill with anger, disappointment, and uullrwarted will. I don’t know how long I had stood so, hut believe it was a long time when tlie softest of small hands entered mine, which bung down beside me. -

I started and looked around. She was looking tip into my face so wist­fully, her own' face stained with pain and earnestness.

“You look so pained, so displeased,” she said. “I must seeul to yon thor­oughly heartless and ungrateful. I cannot bear it.”

Before I knew what she was going to do, she was kneeling beside me; be­fore 1 could prevent her, her soft fin­gers were raising my hands to her soft lips. I lifted her up. Holding her by tlie shoulders, I asked her, I am afraid almost fiercely:

“Can you tell me that you do not love me ?”

“Ho, I cannot; I do love you—I love you very dearly.”

Her tears began to fall, and see, tot­tering toward me,' shedxthem on my breast, I held her there fast and firm; and never since had she disclaimed the ight lo he there.

oftruth when I told her I was a sort of doctor. That had been the profession

had not loved well enough to follow, after a large fortune left me had made the pursuit of a profession needless. I could treat her as well as another. I did what I could for her and saw her revive.

My entreaties prevailed on her after time to leave the room for a few

hours, going with the woman of the rooms below; but before the night bad half passed she was back again.

“Do not be angry with me. I want to sit and look at him. I won’t cry. Soon I shall lose him forever!”

She took her station by him; she begged me to go away somewhere to get rest. I pretended to yield; but found myself too anxious to go beyond the anti-room. She was hot in a state to he left alone.

The dawn brought the horrible aud harrowing business of putting away, out of Sight, out of reach, tlie mortali­ty that had been so dear, that we have clutched so close, and never could keep too near—to mind. I talked to her ns little as I could and as gently.

Gently! I f words could have floated on the air like eider-down, or touched her with gossamer-light touches, they would still have seemed to me rough to be east at her then. Still I was forced to try and ascertain her wishes.

You know what is best—you will do what is right,” she answered gently; “ but don’t ask me to leave the house while he is in it. Think of the long years that------”

There she paused—hurst into violent weeping: She had not cried before.

I feel as if my heart was breaking!” she said, pressing her bands over it.

I clasped her to me, I comforted her as well as I could, reinindiug her as well as I knew how, of how well things must-be with her beloved brother. I spoke, too, o f the place where we would l<ay him to rest; o f the"country quiet among the .roses, the violets. She lay quiet in my arms and by and-by lifted her face to listen. To see that sweet, sad face resting against my breast, to look down upon it, and meet its trust­ful eyes, filled me with over-mastering emotions.

“I f yon can love me,” I said then, you need never feel alone or unshel­

tered, never more while 1 live. This is no, unfit place or time to tell yon this, for he knew 1-loved yop, and was glad in knowing it; but I do not ask or ex­pect, or desire any answer—not now.”

I hardly know that she took in the sense of my words; sorrow and. ex­haustion drained her life. Ho tinge of color canie to her cheek; she just lis­tened. 'M-

“How good you are—how good you are!” she said. “What could I. have done, hut for yeu ?”

I arranged everything for the best as far as I knew; I tempted her from the room to go with me to the graveyard beyond the walls, to choose where he should lie. She seldom spoke, she said afterwards it was all like a dream, from which she expected at any time to awake.

The next day we buried him. "When all was done, we lingered near the place. <

A spring-breathed soft wind was blowing; spring-voiced birds were singing; the mild spring sun was shining; tlie place was very'soothing and peaceful, towered over' by the great monumental tomb of some for­gotten great .one. That was a day to be remembered.’ I promised her that the grave should be cared for better than any in the place..

When we-went away I took her to the care of that motherly, kind, Quak-

.erishlady of the diligence, whom Ihad prepared to recei ve her.

I did not see her again, for some days; she was too exhausted, when the reaction of long^tension set in, to leave her bed,

I called every day, and always found some geutle-worded, grateful message ready for me; hut day after day I did not see her. A t last a bright day came when I did. She was more altered, more broken down looking than I had anticipated. The meeting me ag­itated her very greatly. The black dress, too, increased the delicacy of herlopk.

Mrs. Horris stood by her, smoothing -her hair' and petting her with loving deeds and words until she was calmer then—good woman—she left us to' gethef: I had no idea, what lay before me.

Our interview was a long one. More than .once I left her side, and paced the room in despair; stood at one or other of the windows that looked down upon the: 'city; and • pondered how could conyinee her of my love—that is to .say,' o f the selfish and interesting nature of it. -

Zunl Courtship.The Zuni customs connected with

courtship are curious. Regularly, a girl expresses a fancy for a young man. Her parents or her relatives inform those of the youth, and the latter is encouraged. I f suited, he casually drops into the house of the girl, when much the same conversation as the governor tried to teach me ensues; md, “if it be well,” tlie girl becomes

Ms affianced, or Yi-lu-k’ia-ui-ha (his to be). Thereafter the young couple may he seen frequently together—the girl combing bis hair on the sunny terraces, or, in winter, near the hearth, while be sits and sews on articles of apparel for her. When he has “made bis bundle,” or gathered a sufficient number of pres­ents together—invariably including a pair of moccasins made from a whole deer-skin—he takes it to her, and if they are accepted be is adopted as a son by her father, or, in Zimi language, “as a ward,” Ta-la-b’i ; and with the beginning of his residence with her commences his married life. With the woman resis the security of the marriage ties; and it must be said, in ber high honor, that she rarely abuses the privilege; that is, never sends her husband “ to the home of his fathers,” unless he richly deserves it. Much is said of the inferior position of women among Indians. With all advanced

ibes, as with the Zunis, the woman not only controls the situation, but her serfdom is customary, self-imposed, and willing absolutely. To her belong, al­so,all the children; and descent, in­cluding inheritance, is on her side.— Frank H. Cashing in the Century.

It sometimes seems a great pity that wo learn too late maay. .things which would have saved .time'and money if we could have known when first starts ing out in the work of home making. Everybody learns after a while that, in buying furniture, carpets and curtains, the true economy is to buy a good-arti­cle. Buy less, if need he, but do not buy unsubstantial things because they cost less. Another mistake is to buy something ,that you are- not satisfied with, thinking that by and by you will change for that which, your taste de­mands. It is far better to wait awhile, and put what two would .cost into the satisfactory piece o f furniture.

Monday Ed. Hoxson came to town with his little girl and another, each aged about 10 years. He drove his team hitched to a farm wagon on which were simply loose boards. Desiring on his return to take John Dunsbaek’s horse and earrage home with him, he drove the horse and let the girls drive the team. In some way the team com­menced to run and steadly increased' their speed. Mr. Hoxson ran Mr. Dunsback’s horse in the attempt to keep up with the team, and constantly, shouted to the girls to cling to the wagon; this they did, although the bottom boards were flying off and the horses were running at a frightful speed. Tbe team distanced the Duns- back horse, and as they turned into Mr. Hoxson’s yard, a wheel caught the gate post and tore it down. The team then ran several times around the house. Mr. Hoxson ,arriving and see­ing the team tearing along at a break­neck “peed over dead furrows and pitch-holes, with the two little girls clingingto the wagon, on which scarce­ly a board was left, expected they would he killed. In his excitement he stood upinhisbuggy to encourage them to h61d on; while standing thus, the buggy gave a lurch and he was thrown to the ground. Rising, he caught his team and rescued the girls uninjured by their perilous ride. The Dunsback horse circled a few times around the house and stopped. When the excite­ment had somewhat subsided. Mr, Hoxson found in his fall he had sus­tained a fracture of his collar bone. The reach of his wagon was broken, and one of the axletrees of Mr. Duns­back’s buggy was sprung. For the actual damage done it was a very ex­citing runaway.—Mason News.

rious demands o f the age in which we live, cannot he found than that afford­ed by the Dining Cars of the Michigan Central Railroad.QThe improvements in traveling fatal- ties during the past few years have- been on a Scale qualified to kill won­der in anything new, but these latest cars are so marvelously exquisite in finish and so much in keeping with the rich toning to which the American people are educating themselves, that in addition to their attractiveness as dining rooms they afford pleasure .to all critical observers, and cannot be passed, without placing them, on record as decidedly new, in that they surpass the cars of older models to a degree that places them on a plane above what we have heretofore thought fine.

The cuisine o f the cars is attended to with the same desire to raise the standard to a point where they will he remembered and pointed to as models in the culinary line.

The new cars are four in number and are called the “Wentworth,” “Aus­tralia,” “Detroit,” and “St. Thqrnas,” and will be run on the principal express trains between Chicago,Detroit, Toledo, Buffalo, and Hiagara Falls, on tlie Hew York and Boston lines, and to those of our friends who desire to keep post­ed on tbe progress of the times we would say, that the next time you have occasion to tavel east or west, try “The Hiagara Falls Boute.” The Other ac­commodations o f the line are in every respect on a par.

not work satisfactory, but the second one worked to perfection. The last day of harvest I cut 22 acres in about 9 hours. My fifteen-year old boy drove the most of the harvest and could handle the machine with ease, and I am satisfied that Mr. Deering and his agents will deal justly with their customers in all cases.

v JOHN" 0. MARBLE.

I bought the Deering Binder which John Marble condemned and it worked all right. There never was anything the matter with the machine, but the failure was owing to .the inexperience Of drivers. The expert sent here fixed it in half a minute sifter he got here, and I like the machine. I cut more after supper that day than I had done with my old one in. all the forenoon. It is a light draft Machine and did not fatigue the team as much as light plowing would have done. W ILLARD MARBLE.

restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich brown color, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use light or red hair maybe darkened, tliin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not always, cured.

It checks falling o f the hair, and stimu­lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and heals nearly every disease peculiar to the scalp. As a L adies’ H a ir D ressin g, the V igor is unequalled; it contains neither oil nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate, agreeable, and lasting perfume.

Mr . C. P. B richer writes from Kirby, 0., July 3, 1882 : “ Last fall my hair commenced failing out, and in a short time I became nearly bald. I used part o f a bottle of A yer ’s Ha ir V igor, which stopped the fail­ing o f the hair, and started a new growth. 1 have now a full head o f hair growing vigor­ously, and am convinced that hut for the use o f your preparation I should have been entirely bald.”■ J. W. Bowex, proprietor o f tho McArthur (.Ohio) Enquirer, says : “ AVer ’s Ha ir Vigor is a most excellent preparation for the half. 1 speak o f it from m y own experience. Its use promotes the growth o f new hair, and makes it glossy and soft. The V igor is also a-sure cure for dandruff. Not within my

■ knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction.”

Mr . Axgus Fa ir b a ir x , leader o f the celebrated “ Fairbalrn Fam ily” of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass., Feb, 6, 1SS0: “ Ever since my hair begail to give sil­very evidence of the change which neeting time procureth, I have used AVER’S Ha ir V igor, and so have been able to maintain an appearance of youthfulness— a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, ora­tors, actors, and in fact every one whoiives iu tbe eyes o f tbe public.”

Mrs. O. A. P rescott, -writing from Is Elm St., Charlestown, Mass., April 14, 1882, says: “ Two years«go about two-thirds o f niylmir came off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was fust growing bald. On-using AVer ’s H air V igor the falling stopped and a new growth ' commenced, and in about a month my head was completely coveredWith short hair. It lias continued to grow, aud is now as good as before itfell. I regularlyused hut one bottle of the Vigor, hut now use it occasionally as ,a dressing.”

TVe have hundreds o f similar testimonials to the efficacy o f A yer ’s H a ir Vigor. It needs but a'trial to convince the most skepti­cal o f its value.

The Minneapolis Twine Binder bought of you last year met my expectations fully. Indeed I was delighted with it. It proved to he of much lighter draft than I thought any machine could he that did so much work, cutting nearly 7 feet, elevating and binding in the most perfect manner. -Cut m y level fields with two horses and my sandy and hilly fields with three horses with ease. The wo­men folks were also loud in its praise, not having any more folks to cook for through harvest than any other season of the year. In fact it is a Godsend to the overworked and over-worried farmer, who has enough to do without riding all over the country to look np harvest help. J. M. GtJY.

Buchanan, Mich., March 12, 1883.- I bought last year, of Wood & Samson, a Minneapolis Harvester and Binder. I have tried it thoroughly in heavy wheat and'in light wheat. It is a light, easily handled machine, of light draft for three horses, and is to all appearance a durable machine. It will take np lodged wheat better than I had believed possible for any Harvester to do. In fact 1 am highly pleased with it in every way, and can hardly find words tfe express my high commendations of it as a wheat harvesting implement. . EYOS HOLMES,

Buchanan, Mich., March 14, 1883.M esses . W o o d & S a m s o n :

I am perfectly satisfied with the Minneapolis Harvester and Twine Binder I purchased of you last season. After I got it learned ! had no trouble in mana­ging it, although it is the first one I ever run. I think it is a light draft machine, as my team had no trouble in handling it, and I cut with it where I thought it impossible for a Binder to run on account of hills, and I think it is a durable machine.

A s to lightness of draft, durability, capacity and ease in handling, the Minneapolis is second to none in the market. I f I were to buy a Harvester this season I should certainly buy the Minneapolis, and I advise farmers in need of a Harves­ter to purchase tife Minneapolis Harvester and Twine Binder.

G e n t s : The Minneapolis Harvester and Binder purchased of you last season works to my entire satisfaction., I cut 153 acres of grain, averaging about 20 acres a day. I am familiar with the working .of a number of different Binders, and I have no hesitation in giving the Minneapolis a decided preference over all the others. M. W Y Y Y .N

G e n t s : Being in want of a Harvester, and after careful examination o f the various Twine Binders used in this section of the country, concluded to 4ry a Minneapolis, and after due trial find my selection was well made, as the Machine fills the bill in every respect. It runs light, binds well, making uniform bundles that do not untie in stacking. It is the only machine that has the packer trip which prevents the Binder from clogging whatever the condition of the grain. I cut my harvest of 80 acres in five days, with the ease never before accomplished. I cannot say too much for the Machine, and would recommend all farmers in need of-a Binder to get a Minneapolis.

Gentlemen: I did all my harvesting with the help of a boy. Cut 43 acres, and did not have a bundle come untied. Have cut all day and did not miss .a bundle.

As yet, the aforesaid: amount has not been dnly spread in accordance with the , aforesaid notice dnly served by the aforesaid, above referred to Sam.

A t an adjourned meeting of the Common Council, held Friday evening;- May 4, it was decided to raise the fol­lowing amounts by fax, for the expens­es of the village for the ensuing year: For general purposes, $728.24; High­way purposes, $2,ij39.72; Special tax, to pay village indebtedness, $723.24. This is one mill each for general fund and indebtedness, and three mills per dol­lar o f valuation for highway fund, making the aggregate tax the same per cent, on the valuation as was raised laci year. The increased amount of highway tax is made necessary by the fact that the bridge over the creek, on Front street, must be replaced this year? and it is the intention of the Council to build an arch o f brick and stone at that point ihsteadof anymore wooden bridges, which, at best, need to be rebuilt as often as once in eight or ten years, at an* expense of $1,000 or more. The contemplated, arch will cost between §2,000 and $3,000, but is cal­culated to be-_ permanent. The one mill tax, to pay. indebtedness, will clear the village o f indebtedness, unless the Front street arch costs more than has been calculated upon.

Obituary.Died, on Thursday May 3, at the

residence o f her daughter, near Dowa- giac, Mrs. Lucy Jarvis, aged 91 years, 2 months and 2S days.

The deceased was born in Yorth Carolina, moving to southern Indiana after her marriage, and in 1S35 to Mich­igan, having since made her home in Cass and Berrien counties.. She had a vigorous constitution, great ambition and marked perseverance, which en­abled her to undergo the hardships of pioneer life with fortitude. She pos­sessed many virtues, not the least of which was amiability, which won her many friends. And in her last sick­ness, which was attended by the keenest suffuring she endured all with patience and resignation." She lived 31 years in widowhood after having raised six Children to maturity, four- of whom survive her. She leaves 110 living de- cendants, including the husbands and wives who have married into the fam­ily; 63 of that number, representing four living generations, were present at her funeral, which was also attended by a large number of sympathizing frieuds, who kindly assisted in laying her away where she will quietly sleep until the resurrection morn, when “all that are, in the graves shall hear His voice and shall come forth.” May those she left behind strive to imitate her virtues and lead lives acceptable to the Giver of all good.

The Biographer is a promising ven­ture in monthly periodical literature. It gives a large number of concise, but by no means dry, biographical sketches of men and women eminent in all de­partments of activity. Subjects are chosen with the view to gratify the public curiosity for particulars o f the life and career o f people whose names are appearing in the publie prints. In a Word, their selection is timely. The sketches are ably written, and their interest is heightened by accompany­ing faithful and well-executedportraits. In quality of paper and printing and tastefulness of appearance, the Biogra­pher is among the best periodicals we have seen. We anticipate that its en­terprising publisher -will b‘e rewarded with a large sale of his unique maga­zine, which supplies a need hitherto felt. The Biographer is sent to any address at 25 cents a copy, or $2.50 a year; and to foreign addresses for $3 a year. Yew York: 23 Park Row.

Louisville Courier-Journal Just &. quarter o f a century ago; a secret so­

ciety, known as the Sons o f Malta, sprang sud­denly into existence in the city o f Sett Or­leans. The original ob ject o f the organization, was the capture o f Cuba, and. many prominent military men o f tho south wero the leading spirits in the movement. T or reasons which tho writer is not at liberty to divulge, tho fili­bustering plans o f the order were abruptly squelched, and soon thereafter a well-known" newspaper man, w ho had been initiated, con­ceived the idea o f m ating “some fun fo r the boys.” The whole business, o f initiation, etc., was transform ed in­to a series o f the m ost stupendous sells, prac­tical jokes and outrageously comical proceed­ings over dreamed of. The o rder spread rap- hUy all over tho union. I t was generally be­lieved b y tho outside public that the Sons o f Malta was a benevolent society, and to foster tins belief, freqnentlengthy notices o f charita­b le deeds perform ed b y tho order was pub­lished in the newspapers all over the land- Meetings were held weekly, and there was so m uch solid fu n to be enjoyqd that nothing short o f a death in. the fam ily would deter a m ember from attending; therefore, in many places, the membership w as so great that the utmost difficulty was experienced in obtaining lodge-room s o f sufficient capacity. .

Candidates fo r initiation, were ushered into the ba ll where those who were already men- bers were arranged in rows, each covered from head to foot with a white or black gown, in which was cut small holes fo r the eyes and month. With this garment on the identity ot the wearer was perfectly concealed and the candidates w ho were initiated at one time did not know whether they were in the hands of friends, or strangers.

T o each candidate the “master o f cere­monies,” in-a m ost impressive and pleasing manner, stated tho objects o f tho order and told how the brotherhood came together with one aim and. one understanding. “W e are bound together,” he said, “ by the ties o f love, confidence and charity fo r one another, strengthened and solid ified -by the cement o f confession. W o open u p tho secrets Of our hearts -in the bearing and presence o f each other. W o are all sinful creatures, and confession is good fo r the soul. Our good deeds speak fo r themselves, and our bad deeds are recorded, and in due time these records are burned; and the ashes are all that remain o f a dead and forgotten past

Then the candidate was asked i f he was willing; to leave the sinful world behind, and enter upon the new life. An affirmative an­swer, and the initiation began. He was im ­mediately blindfolded, led to a step-ladder, and told to ascend and Seat him se lf on the top stair with arms folded. This was the position

. each had to oocupy while undergoing the or - deal o f a “ confession” o f his misdeeds. He would be led along by adroit questioning until he m ade what was regarded as a “ clean breast” o f his m oral shortcomings. When a particu­la rly rich or unexpected admission was pum ped out o f him , a deep, sepulchral voice solemnly exclaimed:

“Ke-cio-r-s) itl”And immediately a heavy blow was struck

upon a b ig drum to drown the irrepressible langhter.

I f a candidate gave evidence o f a desire to conceal anything he was given to understand that the inner secrets o f bis son were known to the order, and to hesitate to give them would be an unpardonable crim e in the eyes o f the brotherhood. This would suffice for many, bnttha m ajority would o f course hold out and refuse to answer som e indelicate question, liable to lead into a channel that m ight involve him in a disagreeable confession. A n a a ll through this was exactly what was aimed at.

I n such, cases an intimate friend o f the can­didate would; pass np to the master o f cere-

- -mnnigs on a slip o f paper a point or two in som e daestiofiable^transaction o f the appli­cant’ s life , and this w ould ' prove the key to unlock the secret recesses o f b is heart Then w ou ld the master say, in a tone o f rebuke:

“T he records o f tho order show that upon su ch a day, in such a year, while you were in the c ity .of Cincinnati, y ou did thus and so.” Then, in a tone m ildly espostulatory, he con­tinued;

“M y friend—would I could call yon brother ■ — as I have said before, all your misdeeds are

kno wn- to the order to which you are seeking admission. While crossing the portals which separate onr brotherhood from a wicked and sin ful world, and while about entering upon a new life , and breathing a purer atmosphere, y o n have ungratefully tried to deceive us. For *hts y on are to be pnnished and thrust back into the wickedness von are so loath to leave behind.

“Sir knight, summon the ccunrit" o f ten and take the recreant before that tribunal fo r pun­ishm ent”

Then to the candidate, in a saddened tone of .voice.

“ Sir, there is but one way in w hich yon xedeew lou rse lf in the eyes o f the

T he candidate Jwas then asked i f h e could swim . I f h e answered in the affirmative the rep ly was, “Let us seey ou .” I f hr the nega­tive the answer was- “W e w ill teach you.” Still

Although it w as a dry bath, tho new-fledged brother had to; bo p n t through the drying- m achine This was a high, narrow box—just high enough and wide enough fo r a man to stand upright in- W hen h e was in three slats w ere inserted to keep him position while ho was going through the drying process. The b o x was hunq on pivots between two upright bars, andlm aktiached to the side a crank, b y which i f could be readily and quite rapidly re­volved. And this was only one o f the little trials w hich the ambitious seeker after the mysteries o f Malta had to undergo. H e was whirled round and round perpendicularly, head over heels and heels over head, first quite slow and then with gradually increasing speed, until the breath o f the human propeller gave ou t The frightened fellow was then re­moved. to air easy chair to take a rest, while further questions were propounded to him, and the sonorous “K -e-c-o-r-d it l” resonned through the hall after each o f his answers. H e was then told to prepare fo r the “rough and rugged road.” He was placed: on all fours, and, by prodding from. the rear, forced to crawl through a long iron boiler; on which the members were - • -inclineteen feet high, from which hi a large blanket made o f sail-cloth, with hand- holes fo r ten men on, a aide.

The women o f New York aro not beautiful. Many o f them are redeemed b y their style, hut their pale, sallow faces and defective figures forbid any idea o f beauty—that is , o f the per­fect and peerless beauty o f feature afnd color which is a rarity anywhere, but should not bo among such numbers as one meets on Fifth avenue, In point o f fact, it is astonishing how rare a thing absolute beauty is. I saw flocks o f pretty girls—beaute elu tlixblc—Inthe Music Hall at Cincinnati; and a sprink­ling o f pretty girls in every city, for that matter; bnt not one beautiful woman. Beau­tiful—that is, peerless and unquestioned, like Adelaide Neilson or Alice Dunning. I was pre­pared to see whole flocks o f them on F ift lib v - enue, but I was obliged to tako style instead, and stylo w ill outrank beauty in New York un­less they go hand-in-hand.

I have seen three really handsome men— one in Kentucky, ono in Boston and one in New York: But any NewYorkor of tolerable figure and _a fair Credit at his tailor’s and hatter’s—the bat is perhaps the distinctive feature o f the tout en­semble—may present a sufficiently stunning appearance to guarantee his afternoon prome­nade ontlie avenue. They are a comfortable, well-groomed looking lot o f men, and look as if they found life a very endurable affair.

New York Letter.After all it looks as i f we might go to Europe

in five days yet. The Short-Line Steamship Company, to run steamers from the east end of Long Island to Milford Haven, in Wales, con­necting with New York at this end and with London at the other end by the express-train, tried hard to g8t some recognition by congress, and failed! The promoters of the scheme wanted to moke it wholly an American line, and -they asked for certain “nourishing,” among the features o f which ‘were a contract to carry all mails to Europe, providing that they conld carry and deliver thorn two or three days qxticker than any other vessels. Their bill was killed, but the prospect is now resur­rected in “The Express Steamship Company.” The patriotic element, having experienced a chilly cold-shoulder, is permanently blighted, and the new company is to be owned by Eng­lishmen and Americans jointly. The proposi-' tion is to build two steamers at first, o f the class o f the Arizona and Alaska, to be turned out of the yard that furnished those fast vessels, to run them between Montauk Point and Milford Haven with an average trip Of five days; to carry no freight bnt express' freight; to have; 5l‘U staterooms and carry a thousand passengers; to equip the vessel with all modem hotel accommodations, and ask no odds of congress, bnt ask a good stiff price for carrying the mails, and add other vessels to the line if the project met with the approval and patronage that are anticipated for it Both Austin Corbin and D. C. Corbin are now in Europe “quitting up the job.” I saw a letter from. Austin Corbin yesterday. He wrote while lying off Southampton waiting togee ashore. be says, “ conld,“E ven this ship,"the captain tells me, with a little pushing make twenty miles an hour, and that w onld have brought us from theL onglslandharbor ashore a t M ilford Haven three days ago! Yet we are told that seven or eight days is the shortest trip they conm ake.” The man who built the Alaska and Arizona says that be can easily beat those vessels several miles an hour, and is willing to contract to do i t ; and vessels o f that size are really too large to come into the harbor o f New York. As it is at present, the Servia and Alaska cannot get in at all at low tide, and at high tide they always scrape along on the sand fo r half a mile. The cove where it is proposed by the express line to land is a natural harbor, land­locked, with thirty-five to fifty feet o f water at iow tide. I t ie’ esfimatod that by lauding there a company could save $50,000 a year in pilotage alone. The run from hero to the cove would tie made in two hoteca and a h a lf; and as ears g o m ore than twice as fast as a steam­ship, and the track straight down the middle o f Long Island is-not m ore than one-half as Ion<J"aa that usually taken by tho steamships, the saving is very considerable. “Baggage will leave New Y ork at 11 a. m ., passengers at IS, and the steamer will leave the cove every day at 8,” without regard to tide.

Another thing; the vessalsare to have fifty compartments, instead o f six or eight, -like Other steamers and they are to have novel and comprehensive arrangements for'the safety o f passengers. What is the present chance for saving passengers i f a steamer is struck amid- •ships and goes down at sea? Yery slight! A steamer on w hich I was a passenger ran over a schooner in midoeoan two summers ago, and sunk it with all on board. The officer on the bridge had not seen the vessel’s light though there was no fo g ; and after the collision, with Water pouring into our hold through a chasm fou r feet square, it took tho crew m ore than twenty minutes to launch one boat! I investigated the next day an d , found there was only one life-preserver to ten passengers, and only boats enough to hold one-fifth o f the persons on hoard. On reaching this city I inspected another vessel of tlie same line. I stoked the old mate on de.ek how many passengers he carried. .

“ We brought over 850 this trip,” said he.-“H ow m any life-preservers have you?”

.“Life-preservers? O none, hardly. They’re _nd good.”

Not until h er hand had becom e a mass ot putrified flesh did she turn to Dr. Kennedy, p rop rietor o f the “ F avorite Rem edy,” fo r help.

He at once inform ed her that i t was im pos­sible t o save her hand—it m ust he amputated She received this terrible intelligence quietly, declined to take ether, stipulating m erely t o hold her husband’s hand during the opera­tion , and underwent the painful process with­out m ovin g a muscle o r uttering a groan . Dr, Kennedy then gave “ Favorite R em edy” freely to cleanse the b lood and preventtlie return o f the disease, and Mrs. Myers n ow lives an d re jo ices in her great deliverance.

D&ar Sir—I have thoroughly tried your “ Worm Destroyer,” aud think it the oest remedy for Worms known. I have tried numberless other remedies for onr thrcc-year-old daughter with no benefit. She was falling so fast her condition became alarm­ing. Having noticed yonr advertisement, I Imme­diately purchased a bottle o f your “ Worm Destroy­er.11 X *ew doses improved her health, and a few more restored her to hernathrolly healthy condi­tion. All symptoms o f spasms nave completely disappeared. I - should feel linsale without the medicine in the house. I have no objections to your using my name for reference, as I am glad to inlorm frightened mothers o f so good a remedy.

New York JournalBararun’ s elephants had just finished the

Newport glide and were coming down to the centre-pole in the Virginia reel With feet ever so much lighter than feathers they tripped fantastically through the money-musk Then the circus hand played them oft to their dressing-rooms. /

The ring was bare; the audience expectant. No actor came out fo r a m om ont Then a fairy in a close-fitting costume, sometimes worn at the French bail or the festival o f the Arion society, appeared on the elevated plat­form and Btood under the trapeze. She had on a lavender costume which fitted her like a lavender g lova The audience was rant and didn’ t mind i t Fink ribbons fluttered from her w aist Her hair was flaxen, her form lithe and deli­cate. She put a piece o f leather, dangling at the end o f a rope, in her small m outh and was drawn np to the trapeze. Here she hung by her heels and sustained in m id-air an actor, by holding in her teeth the free end o f a rope tied around his body. He weighed 175 pounds. She spun him around as i f he were as light as a feather. Then she was towed in a basket to the top o f an inclined wire two hundred feet long, which extended from the roof on the Fourth avenne side to the ground at the Madi­son'avenue entrance Fatting the end o f a leather strap attached to a puhey in her month she flashed down the wire tike a cornet H er Bpeed o f motion was forty miles an hour. A pistol was fired o . when she was within twen­ty feet o f a large cushion two feet thick with which she collided. When she struck it the cushion was pushed hack two or threefeet and bent around her like a shawl The woman was called “Madame Junaut”

A reporter having received h er permission to interview her entered" the actor’ s dressing room, which was filled with tumblers, acro­bats, riders, people who had ju st come off and people who w ere getting ready to go on. Tho clown sat moodily on one o f the the ele­phants’ tubs and looked as gloomy as a man who had just buried his mother-in-law. Madame Junaut sat in a group o f lady riders with a big waterproof drawn close around hen. She had rosy cheeks and handsome blue eyes

.and was very pretty. “I bave lifted five mem weighing over seven hundred pounds” said she. “An ordinary person can lift with their jaws from thirty to forty pounds. B y develop­ing the muscles o f the jaws and neck they might with long practice be able to ho ld u p two hundred ponnds.”

“Is an ‘iron-jaW’ a gift of nature or is it acquired?”

“Oh. one must be b om with an iron-jaw, though strength o f that kind is acquired by practice. I began with lifting fifteen and twenty pound" weights with m v teeth. They used heavier weights until I could t ifta u oh - jeet as heavy as I am. I have been in the business nine years and now I can lift five persons o f my_ own weight Holding up and spinning around a heavy man with my teeth, as I do every day in the circus ring, is the same as holding-a barrel o f flour in that way.”

“Is your journey down the wire dangerous?”“It 6 not No accident ever happened to mo

yet Ordinarily I do not use a nectingjjunder m y trapeze, but here the law obliges me to. I shan’ t have one when I go out'West”

“What are your sensations in going down tbs wire?”

“I see nothing. My eyes ore turned, toward the roof. I hear a loud' buzzing sound made by the wheel as it- goes over the wire. Many people think that the pistol is fired off to pro­duce a sensational effect It is discharged for the purpose of lettmgmeknow when I am near the mattress. The latter is so arranged that it gives three or four feet when I strike i t I f it did not I am afraid I should be dashed—bnt Well Hi the bipprodome at Faris I spun down a wire 320 feet long.”

“Do youlike yonr occupation?”^Yes. I am not happy except when travel­

ling with a circus. When I am at home in summer I have a trapeze rigged up in the par­lor and enjoy m yself performing on i t ”

“Is the applause of the audiences you act before wearisome to you.”

“No. On the contrary. H ike it Americans are very cold. In Europe they grow frantic. They are not satisfied with calling you out

"three or four times. Iu Lisbon once I re­ceived twenty-one encores. This diamond cross was given me by the Portuguese king’s father. Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese audi­ences are the most enthusiastic ones.

B o o h .Arkansaw Traveler,

Simon Haymon, a well known Arkansaw character, tells a pathetic story in regard to the influence o f the hog. A n old negro man dreams that he dies and goes to heaven. “ Soon' as I got dar,” the old negro goes on, “I looked around an’ seed a mighty heep ob niggers set- tin’ about de gronn’s waitin’ f o r some sort ob command.”

“ ‘Who is dis?’ asked Gabriel, lookin’ at m e.’

“ ‘Sarvantob deLaw d,’ said I , ‘com e ter be ’zamined at de great bar.’ Den deLaw d said ‘git down dat book an’ see how de brudde stands on swarin’ . Gabriel took down de book, run through wid it, an’ said:

“ “He’ s all right in dis book, Lawd.’“ ‘Git down dat book ’bout lyin’ ’ an’ Gabriel

got down de book. A ll dis timajl knowed dat 1 was alhright, case I was squar. Maas’ Ga­briel looked all ober d” book, an’ said: ‘He’ s all right-here, Lawd.’

“Den de Lawd said, ‘git down dat book, an’ less see how he stan’ s wid de bruders an’ sis­ters in de church.’

“Gabriel got down de hook, bu t I knowed dat da didn’ th ab nothin’ agin me dar.

“ ‘A ll right heah, Lawd,’ said Gabriel , “Den de Lawd said ‘fotch out dat gold crown

an’ put it on de true ahdfaithful sarvant, ’ case he’s stood de test ’

“Da fotch out de crown, an’ was jist in de aek oh pnttin’ it on, when a ole nigger, siitin’ away back, called out: ‘Lawd, yer ain’ t half through wid dat rugger y i t P ull .down dat hog book an’ see how h e stan’s . ’

“Den I knowed I Was gone.”W e do not affirm that this story is true, and

we only give it as the recital o f a man who Claims to he thoroughly acquainted w ith the case in question; but we do know that the hog is the cause o f the great misunderstanding be­tween the law aud the colored gentlemans I f there were no hogs the colored man might have an easier time. T he same m aybe said i f there were n o law.

A C lo w n ’s S t o r y .“I recollect on one occasion, in a town down

in Alabama, we had a great crowd, in to see the afternoon performance, mostly negroes, I had gone to the hotel, and was lying down in J "my room before tea, when a colored b oy em­ployed iu tbe place called me, and said there was a lady- in, tho hall who was very anxious to see-me. I pnt on m y coat and w ent o u t You can imagine say surprise when I found waiting fo r m e a great, fa t negro woman from away back on som e o f the plantations.

“ ‘This is the gentleman,’ said tho. boy,jpre- eenting her to me.

“She never said a word, but stood; looking at m e in perfect amazement Her eyes seemed to grow larger and larger sa she placed her arms aijimho, and stared ai me. The position became a little monotonous, and I.satd^ D o y ou want to see m e?’
