James Brown Potter.
The appearance of Mrs. James Brcwt
Potter at Daly's theater recalls a con
versation that I had recently with a
lady who is a friend of James Brown
Potter.
"Jimmie Potter told me not long
ago," she said, "that he was ready to
take his wife back whenever she was
willing to come and never ask & ques
tion. He said he bad kept bis home as
much like it was when she was mistress
of it as was possible, and he had taken,
pains especially to keep her room just
as she had left it, so that if by any
chance she should ever wish to come
back she would find a welcome in the
familiar things that are there. He de
clared that he did not care anything at
all about what the world might say. A
borne was waiting for his wife when
ever she wanted it.
There is a touch of pathos in that dec
laration which is not inconsistent with
the devotion that James Brown Potter
always showed to his brilliant wife. .
To selfish natures this declaration
would seem most weak, but to those
people who love only once, and then
forever and I doubt not that there are
such, although they may be few th
attitude of James Brown Potter will be
thoroughly understood.
Altruism sometimes reaches to the
plane of heroism, and the unselfishness
of this man is indeed lofty, but for all
that I think it most improbable that
Mrs. James Brown Potter will ever
take advantage of the love that seems
never to have left her and keeps a
home always ready for her. Cholly

The Night Migrating Birds,
The weird, sweet, annual mystery of
the night migrating birds has begun.
Last night, sitting in a canoe on the
lake, the listener heard for a long time
the soft, aerial twitterings and calls
which mean to the birds, bound on their
long journey, perhaps from Canada to
Florida, what "keeping hold of hands"
means to human beings. "Chirp? Lit
tle one, are you there? It's a long way
to Cuba, do you know, and you've nev
er been there before." "Chirp I chirp!
Here am I, I should rather say I Going
to Cuba's nothing when you feel the
way in your bones, and in your wings
especially, and in your very pinfeath
ers. Chirp, chirp, twitter, twitter!
Come on, mamma, we'll lead the way !"
On, on, indeed!
All night long, no doubt, one might
hear the soft calls and even the flutter,
now and then, of tireless wings. Do the
old birds know every lake and stream
on their way ? Possibly. They seem to
follow familiar paths in all they do,
'and yet what almost world reaching
journeys they make! This rosy pine
grosbeak wintered in Russia last year ;
this year be will winter in Massachu
setts perhaps; meantime he has made
a , little . arctic expedition of his own,
and could tell Nordenskjold and Peary
all about the north pole if he only
would.' He has been there and consid
ers, it a small matter. This humming
bird could be put into my lady's thim
ble, with his beak sticking out like her
needle, but there is no man who has
surveyed the North American continent
with Euch a comprehensive view as his.

The Musical Voice.
. Dr. Pegg, who was once an associate
of Abbe Liszt, entertains the opinion
that the voices of singers may be affect
ed by their diet In those parts of Eu
rope where fish is the chief article of
food, there are few fine vocalists and
the voice in ordinary speech there is apt
to lack delicacy of timbre and also dig
nity. Dr. Pegg has come to the conclu
' sion that the food most desirable for
singers is of a gramnivorous kind, yet
they may properly include a moderate
quantity of meat in their daily repast -He
discards the idea that malt liquors
give strength to the voice, though they
may stimulate its action for a brief
tima They had better be avoided by
those singers who desire to keep their
tones fresh and rich.
The smoking habit is not necessarily
Injurious to the voice, if the indulgence
in it be well restrained and temperate.
Dr. Pegg has no patience with those
French composers professing to be sym
bolists who would mingle with music
the "potent spirit of perfume." --The
. ancient Bomans believed that in per
- fume there was a subtle power to create
emotion, but it ought not to be used in
combination with musio to intensify an
artistio impression. The musio alone
should be all powerf uL , ....
An Adroit Teacher.
Consideration for others is not always
rewarded in this world, howsoever it
may be in the next The Nashua (N.
H. ) school board wished to get rid of a
teacher for what was, to it, incompe
tence, but in order not to interfere with
the teacher's prospects elsewhere tLa
board committee agreed to elect hei,
provided she would resign at once. She
was elected, did resign, but before ac
ceptance by the board she withdrew her
resignation and substituted a request
to be relieved of certain work, which
the board refused to grant, and thereby
rather estopped itself from demanding
her resignation. This young woman may
not be a very good teacher, but she is a
capital politician. Boston Traveller.
ONE MILLION DOLLARS ! !
Think of it ! Yet this sum has been ex
pended this year in purchasing a late, up-to-date
typewriting machine, that only
weighs six pounds. No ribbon, type
changeable instantly, perfect alignment,
does beautiful manifold work; is equal to
the highest p iced machine in quality of
work, and excels them in convenience.
These are only a few of the reasons why
the public have spent a million dollars tor
them. The Western Union Telegraph
Company have contracted for 4,000 of them
for use in all their offices. This typewrit

QREAT MEN'S READING.
Chopin rarely read anything heavier
than a French novel.
Lord Olive said that "Robinson Cru
soe" beat any book he ever lead.
St. John Chrysostoin never tired of
reading or of praising the works of the
Apostle John.
James I of England was a lover of
the classics and very familiar with most
of the Latin writers. .
Bunyan read little besides his Bible,
and often said that Christians would do
well to read no other book.
Salvator Rosa liked any kind of
poetry, but more especially that relating
to the country or to country scenes.
Mis. Siddons gave much attention to
the history of the drama and had an
extensive library of this kind of matter.
Hume said that Tacitus was the
ablest writer that ever lived and him
self tried to model his style on that of
the Roman historian. . ; . ,
Locke gave most of his attention to
works of philosophy. He said, "I stand
amazed at the profundity of thought
shown by Aristotle."
The elder Pitt liked Shakespeare, but
not the labor of reading plays. He en
joyed hearing them and once said that
he bad learned more English history at
the theater than at the university. :-
Shelley read with close attention all
the works he could find antagonizing
Christianity. He thought he was an
atheist, but was mistaken, as there is
not a more spiritual writer in our lan
guage than he. He read the Bible with
great care, and some of his finest im
agery is borrowed from its pages. St
Louis Globe-Democrat
THE FASHION PLATE.
A dainty little bonnet is of puffed
chiffon over a passementerie edge. The
crown is of passementerie, and the trim
ming is of ostrich tips.
Bead garniture of a rich and elaborate
sort is becoming a rage. There is no
handsomer trimming made, and it rare
ly stays out of favor for. any length of
time.
Wraps to wear over bathing costumes
are made of any sort of fancy plaid.
Heavy material is preferable, as it stays
in place much better and is more man
ageable. . :
A stylish cape is of accordion plaited
clairette, with stripes of very elaborate
and handsome brocaded ribbon. These
stripes run from the collar to the lower
edge of the garment.
The little close bonnet fitting the head
and occupying but little more space than
a headdress is much liked. A handsome
model is made of box plaited velvet,
with three full ostrich tips.
Velvet sleeves and soft belts are worn
with dresses of extremely thin material
A dress of embroidered chiffon over silk
has enormous puffs of velvet for sleeves
and a soft belt set on in corselet fashion.
A stylish waist is made of taffeta in
shepherd's plaid. The front is in blouse
fashion, with plaits from the very nar
row yoke. A long point of lace is sewed
down each of those plaits to the bust
There is a laee collar and a standing
ruching of the taffeta. The sleeves are
very large, with taffeta ruffles below the
elbows. New York Ledger.

"Are these all, sire?" he asked, lifting
nis eyes to tne emperor s face,
"They could be exchanged for a good
deal of money?" returned Napoleon quiet
ly. "Have you any idea how much?"
"In truth, I don't know much about
such things. I never owned jewels in
my life. But now, then, I remember. A
friend of mine once had one, not so large
as the least of these, which he said cost
a thousand francs.' Of course, I did not
believe such a story, but were it only
half true I can understand that all these
would be very valuable. Many thousand
francs, perhaps; fifteen or twenty thou
sand?"
a philosopher, possibly ir he were
really a philosopher might value them
at less than that sum. said Napoleon,
who had been watching tho soldier's face
keenly, without seeming to do so. "But
our artificial modes of life tend to give
them an artificial worth. Besides, they
have the interest of history and associa
tions. Most or them belonged to my
famous uncle, and were obtained by him
during his campaigns. Others came in
other ways. Blood has been spilt for
them; romances are connected with
them. At the present time, however,
there are but one or two persons, in ad
dition to ourselves, who are aware th&t
this collection exists. The secret could
not be safely divulged, for men have
risked and lost both their lives and their
souls for less than a thousandth part the
money that these stones would bring.
Solange opened his eyes. "Of course,
then, my guess was too small much too
email," be remarked. ''Fifty thousand
francs, then!"' The emperor's face re
mained inscrutable. Solange took a long
breath. "Come, let us say a hundred
thousand?" he exclaimed, recklessly.
"That seems to be an immense sum,'
said Napoleon.
. "Assuredly, it would seem so to any
man. A man might labor night and day
for a hundred years and not get together
so much as that.
"Very true. Nevertheless, my brave
Solange, if I were to pay you every day
this sum of one hundred thousand francs
and continue those payments, not for a
week, or a month, or a year, but for
fourteen yeara, 1 should still have paid
you barely the value in gold represented
by this little boxful of stones.- They are
worth, in other words, at least five hun
dred million francs."
The soldier's jaws gaped, but came to
gether again without a sound. His bluff
visage became pale. He stared stupidly
around him. . He moistened his dry lips
with his tongue, but still was unable to
utter a word.
"You perceive, therefore," the emperor
continued, "that, as I said, it is no light
errand that you are to undertake. , It is
not too much $o say that you will have
not only my fortune, but the future of
the empire in your hands."
"Five hundred millions!" gasped So
lange at last "Great God! It is a night
marc! Five hundred mill"
"Come, come: we are wasting time,"
said the emperor briefly. "You must
fix your mind, not upon the millions, but
upon the disposition you are to make of
them. You will carry the gems packed
in this box as part of your baggage, but
to protect you against custom house in
vestigations they will be prepared in a
manner that will be afterward explained
to you. You will proceed from here to
New York, whither a letter has already
been sent, informing the consignee there
of the probable date of your arrival and
of other necessary particulars. The
name of this consignee is Harry Trent;
he is a diamond merchant in New York,
and a man personally known to me. He
is instructed to retain' them in his keep
ing until further notice until the issue
of the coming war is decided. If we are
victorious the gems will be returned here,
if otherwise I shall follow them there.
Do yon understand me?"
"I do, sire," replied the soldier, who
had by this time recovered his self pos
session, and there was a new air of pride
in his demeanor, showing that he had
begun to appreciate the distinction that
had been conferred upon him.
"The route you will take," continued
the other, "will not be the usual one
across the Atlantic. War might break
out before you arrive and your vessel
might be captured by the enemy's cruis
ers. You will therefore cross France to
the Mediterranean and proceed thence
by way of Egypt to the Red sea, and so
by way of Australia to the Isthmus of
Panama. At Aspinwall, on the northern
side of , the isthmus, you will take a
steamer to New Orleans, whence you
will travel by railway to New York.
You will, of course, receive a memo
randum of this itinerary and of all the
other details of your journey. Do you
wish to say anything?"
"Only one thing, sire. It is possible
that death may overtake me on the
route. In tlutt case"
"'In that case you will have done your
best, and I shall regret the loss of a
faithful servant even more than of the
millions. No scheme that mortal man
can devise is free from the liability to
error or miscarriage. Disaster may over
take this, as well as others; but I shall
have the satisfaction of knowing that I
adopted the surest means of success with
in my reach. However, we will antici
pate your safe arrival.- Meanwhile, go
and prepare yourself for the - journey,
and come to me tomorrow morning. I
shall probably order you to set out by
the noon train to Marseilles."
"Sire, you shall be satisfied with me,"
said Solange, retiring.
'I fully believe it," returned the em
peror graciously. "Kaoul, he said to
the secretary,-who entered as Solange
disappeared, "let two of our best de
tectives follow that man, and never lose
sight of him. . If he is seen to speak more
than a minute to any one, let him and'
the one to whom he spoke be instantly
arrested and brought hither. Go! Be
quick!"
As Raol vanished Napoleon replaced
the box in its jporher, and then, reseat
ing himself in his chair, lit another cig
arette. " . "
CHAPTER V.
SOLAUGE DOES HIS BEST.
In eighteen hundred and seventy trav
el to' America by the eastern route was a
good deal less easy than it is now. But
to an old campaigner like Maurice So
lange hardships that would have dis
couraged ordinary tourists were as noth
ing. He journeyed in light marching
order a wooden box fitted with a han
dle to carry it by in one hand and an old
carpet bag in the : others 'Sometimes,
when he had to travel somti distance on
foot, he strapped the box on his shoul
ders. So indenendent was he that he
engaged a porter, but jogged
along sturdily, finding a solace for all
mishaps in a pipe of tobacco. He met
with little or no hindrance on his way,
being furnished with all necessary pass
ports, and also, when occasion required,
producing special letters or documents
that secured him safe passage.
Traversing the. Red sea he went to
Ceylon, and there got passage in a
steamer bound for Melbourne. Crossing
thence to New Zealand he disembarked
at Napier, and after waiting there a
week engaged a berth on a merchant
vessel bound via St. Elmo and Pitcairn
Island to Panama. She was a Spanish
American ship and bore the name of
Santa Lucia. "
Solange was the only passenger. But
at St. Elmo another was taken on board
a tall, thin fellow, with red hair and
an aquiline nose. When Maurice, lean
ing over the taffrail, beheld this indi
vidual approaching from afar he uttered
an exclamation, and the pipe which he
held between his teeth escaped from its
position and before he could catch at it
dropped into the Pacific ocean. "Well,"
said Maurice to himself, with the resig
nation of a philosopher, "the pipe is
gone, but if Francois Dupont has come
it is a compensation!" And Dupont it
actually was neither more nor less.
you do betray me, may you die as J
' am dying, and with no one to love you!"
These two men had belonged to the
same regiment, and had -stood shoulder
to shoulder On more than one battlefield.
Dupont, after his term of service was
over, had Knocked about the world lor
several years; he ljad been an acrobat in
London, a gambler in Ceylon, a miner
in Australia and. aeheep farmer in New
Zealand, and now, with a few thousand
dollars in his pocket, he was on his way
to Central America, with no very clear
ideas as to what he wonld do when he
got there. But he was not the man to
get the worst of any situation in which
he might find himself. Nothing fright
ened, nothing depressed him. Withal
he was a most entertaining companion,
having resources of anecdote, humor
and dare deviltry that never knew ex
haustion. No wonder, then, that Mau
rice, who for more than two months past
had scarcely exchanged two score sen
tences with a human -being, was highly
delighted to see thus unexpectedly his
old comrade. '
: But after 4he -first greetings had been
exchanged and very hearty they were
on both sides Maurice began to reflect
that perheps the encounter was not so
fortunate after all. For Dupont,-besides
being communicative, was inquisitive,
ana he bad not been on board half an
hour before he had asked Maurice all
manner of unanswerable questions about
himself, his destination, his objects in
traveling and a dozen things besides,
How to meet this broadside of interroga-
tives Maurice knew not, for his character
was straightforward and unimaginative,
He told lies awkwardly and on the oth
er hand, if he kept silence the result
could only be to stimulate his friend's in
quisitiveness still further. Finally he
attempted a compromise by informing
Dupont that for certain good and suffi
cient reasons he preferred not to specify
his exact intentions just then, but that
after they had arrived in New York he
would willingly tell him all he cared to
hear.
Dupont, who had all the imagination
Jhat Solange lacked, was gifted also with
the power of effectively disguising his
feelings and designs when he deemed it
expedient to do so. He accordingly pro
fessed to be satisfied with the other's
ultimatum; but, at the same time, pri
vately made up his mind to get at the
oottom or the mystery, whatever it was.
And very likely he would have suc
ceeded, but that destiny chose another
way to bring about the issue.
wnue tne anta juucia was still a
thousand miles distant from her port,
sailing over smooth seas, with light but
rather baffling winds, the second mate
fell ill, and the captain, after investigat
ing his condition, returned to the deck
with a grave face. The mate remained
shut rrjj in his bunk for two days, dur
ing which time there was a great deal of
more or less outspoken speculation among
the ship's company as to the nature of
his illness. The captain, in answer to
all inquiries, responded that the mate
was suffering from a bad attack of in
digestion and would be all right in a day
or two. But on the third day Dupont,
who was always the first to discover
everything, told Maurice that the disease
the mate had was yellow fever. Twelve
hours later the mate was dead, and then
the truth was known- to every one. Be
fore sunset a seaman had caught the in
fection, and that night three others were
seized with the pestilence. ,
There were twenty-five persons on
board when the ship left St Elmo; at
the end of a week after the fever ap
peared only fifteen were left alive. The
captain, Dupont and Solange were the
most active in nursing the sufferers. The
two first had seen yellow fever before,
and Solange showed the handiness and
adaptability of an old campaigner. These
three were also the only ones who escaped
the panic that is among the most effect
ive predisposing causes of the disease.
As fast as the men died they were stitched
np in their hammocks and buried in the
sea. Ho one who had been attacked re
covered, but at length the epidemic
seemed to have run its course, and for
two days there were no fresh cases.

A VETERAN EDITOR
R. B. AVERY WAS A NEWSPAPER
MAN BEFORE THE WAR.
Health Shattered by Hardship- Suffered
all That Man Could Stand, and
Finally Won the Fight.
From the Examiner, San Francisco, Cal.
At the opening of the civil war Rich
ard B. Avery, now residing at 345
Thirteenth' street, San Francisco, was
an associate editor on the Chicago
Times. Chicago was not then the great
commercial and industrial center that
she is today, nor had the Times even
begun to be the great representative
journal of the inland metropolis, as it
has become in late years under the con'
trol and direction of the late Carter
Harrison. At that time Mr. Avery
was a man of 30 years of age, and had
come to his position as an editorial
writer after twenty years of service in
various branches of the newspaper bus
iness, having begun his apprenticeship
as a compositor at 10 years of age.
When President Lincoln issued the first
call for volunteers, Mr. Avery threw
aside all the bright prospects which
lay before him in the journalistic field
and joined his fortunes with those
of the North. He enlisted as a volun
teer ana tougnt with tne union army
until the close of the war. He took
part in some of the fiercest battles of
the war, and when he received his dis
charge was considerably broken down
in health". By continued exposure to
the severe weather that prevailed dur
ing many of the campaigns, Mr. Avery
contracted an acute form of neuralgia
in the head. He suffered excruciating
pain, and passed many sleepless nights
on account of the disease. He came to
California several years ago, but the
change of climate did not afford him
much relief, for the neugralic attacks
occurred at stated periods, and the pain
was so intense at times that he was
driven almost to desperation.
"It was while I was suffering from
one of the most violent attacks," said
Mr. Avery, "that I was persuaded to
try Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple, after having used several other
remedies without relief. 1 was glad
to accept anything that would even
temporarily ease my suffering. Why,
for three months during one winter 1
did not pass one restful night There
was not a moment during all that time
in which I was free from the awful
neuralgic pains. When you consider
that I am 64 years old, you must know
how rapidly my system was being un
dermined through the mental distress
that I endured. I had not taken more
than half a box of Williams' Pills be
fore I felt a decided relief. The nen
ralgia was not so painful, and I was
enabled to sleep during the night in
comparative comfort Having felt the
initial results of the pills, I continued
to take, and just as steadily did I con-
tinue experiencing a relief from the
neuralgia. I did not stop until I had
taken seven boxes of the pills, although
the neuralgia had entirely left me
long before that time. The pills cer
tainly possess wonderful curative prop
erties, and I feel perfectly free in rec
ommending them to anyone who is
afflicted with neuralgia. My faith in
the pills is increased by the fact that
my relief has been permanent. I have
never felt the least indication of a re
turn of the neuralgia to my head, so
know that the relief I have received
through using the pills has been effect
ive. ' I have already advised severaLfif J
my friends to use the pills, and I think
that a number of them have done so,
with good results."

essary to give new life and richness to
