So, when I engaged a suite of rooms
third floor, in a Freneh flat edifice and
arranged my household goods therein,
with a fine lookout oyer a green dot in
front, and the glimmer of the Palisades
far away to the rear, above a forest of
shipping, I considered myself well off.
What is my profession? I haven't any
in particular. I am an artist, and draw
little, daily, in front of my easel. I
contribute to the press and write when
the divine afflatus seizes me. I read law

' sequently I was able to decorate my new
' quarters very prettily with Bagdad rugs,
Old- China dragons, black and gold
Japanese screens, and piotnres I had
jicked up at a bargain.
And when the fire was burning cheer-
fully in the grate, that first rainy May
veaing, the student lamp shining
softly on the red carved table, and the
waiter from a neighboring restaurant
had brought in my frugal dinner of a
broiled bird,-a mold of currant jelly, a
elice of roast beef, and a raspberry
dumpling, I considered myself pretty
comfortable.
"Upon the whole," said I to myself,
'I rather approve of French flats." ,
I rang the bell. .
The janitor, a respectful, decent sort
of fellow, in a round jacket and carpet
slippers, answered in the summons.
-"Janitor," said I, "who occupies the
floor above?"
"Nobody, sir," the man answered.
"Xast party moved out yesterday. New
party moves in to-morrow."
"A large family?" said I, rather du
biously.' .
"Bless your heart, sir," said the man,
"no family at all single lady, sir." .
At this I congratulated myself more
rind more.
"I shall have a prospect of a little
peace now, I think," said I; and late my
dinner in a fool's paradise of happiness.
The single lady moved in on the mor
row. She mnst have moved in when I
was dowa town, selecting some new mill
boards and color-tubes for the summer
sketches that I intended to make; for,
when I returned, fondly expecting once
more to enter into my kingdom of peace
and serenity, everything was changed.
There was a banging and pounding
overhead, a thumping and hammering
a sound as if some middle-aged giantess,
in hob-nailed Bhoes, were enjoying her
self in s promenade.
I sent for the janitor, in a rage.
"Is the house coming down?" said I.
- "It's the new tenant a-movin' in, sir,"
said hev apologetically.
"Does her furniture consist entirely ef

and then I had recourse onoe more to

"Third floor's compliments to the
fourth floor, and will feel obliged if she
will favor me with a little peace and qui

There was no reply, but the music
ceased abruptly.
But that evening, when I was begin
ning to solace myself with a little violin
practice in the twilight, tap, tap, tap,
came the janitor's wife at my door.
"Fourth floor's compliment to the
third floor, and will feel obliged if he
will favor her with a little peace and

How I hated that woman!

"I promised to eee you home, Miss

briskly.
"You need not trouble yourself .Web

"Are you the fourth?" I counter
questioned. "But you're not a crab at all?"
"Nor are you a dragon. On the con

Legend of Wallaws.
Legends are as common to the Ameri
can Indians as the witch tales of New
England were common to her people in
Colonial times. There is always some
thing wild and weird about them that
strikes awe to the savage : heart and
mind, and appeals to his native credulty
and superstition. .Legends are pre
served by tradition handed down from
one generation to another in the same
manner by which the story of wrong and
sunenng is retained in the mind of tue
savage. The long lapse of time does not
lessen the influence, or rather the im
pression, a strange, fantastic lepend has
upon the Indian mind. It may be that
tue mind of the savage is dark and unen
lightened and that his sole desire and
thirst is to lead a worthless life, but let
me here remark, however far it may be
from the subject, that the American
Indian is more imaginative than any
other race of human beings. When he
talks he refers to the sun, moon and
stars, the mountains, the vallevs, the
rivers, and almost everv object! in the
natural world to illustrate and impress
nis thought. However ignorant the
savage may be, this is the impression I
have derived from a close observation of
many tribes and careful study of their
habits. But to return to the theme. My
renders will remember the long and
bloody struggle the! Government had
about two years ago with Joseph's band
of renegades who roamed over .Northern
Idaho and Western ; Washington I Terri
tories, and that the struggle on the part
of the Indians was made for the posses
sion of the Wallowa valley. This valley
is rituated in .Eastern Uregon. and is the
grandest and most ' beautiful in the
world. It is walled off from the rest of
the world, and is only accessible through
a narrow pass. In the southern portion
is a lake of crystal water, which seems to
have been in the long past the crater of
a volcano; this much is known, its depth
has never been ascertained. As Scott Las
said:
For rarely boman eye baa known
A aorne ao atern aa (bat dread lake,
With Ha dark ledjte of bftrreo alone.

Sable ravine and dirk abyss,
Telia of tbe outrage alUl.
When in possession of the vallev. the
Indians never entered the water, and
regarded tbe lake with superstition and
awe. Years land years ago, tradition
runs, an Indian maiden, the chosen
daughter of the chief, and the pride of
the tribe, njmeJWabtu-wah, lived
With hcrparen ts near the enchanted
lake. An Indian warrior, brave and
true, won the heart and hand of the
dusky maiden; and in the autumn, when
the warpath would be forsaken, he would
return and claim his bride. Time went
on and the warrior returned. The
battles over with the hostile tribes, he
bore with him the bloody trophies of his
triumph, with which to grace his coming
nuptials with Wah-tu-wah. He has al
most reached her secluded hut; the lake
and the bordering' crags are in sight.
One moment more and he will be with
Wah-tu-wah. But; look! see! With
wild shriek the warrior sees his future
bride leap down the ; mountain side and
run toward the lake, pursued by a nerce
monster. With speedy fligiit, tue war
rior runs to her rescue. Alas! he is too
late. The monster seizes the dusky
maiden and disappears beneath the
waters. The legenjl runs that the war
rior became but a sigh, and that his
restless spirit still broods over and
haunts the lake where the maiden disap
peared. No Indian ever bathes in-its
waters, as the lake is considered sacred
to the two Indian spirits. Joseph and
his tribe are far from their native homes,
but doubtless, they preserve in their
traditions, in sacred awe, the legend of
the Wallawa. !
DUOWMKO AM ilASY DEATH.The
strangest incident perhaps among the
many strange incidents that crowded
themselves into that terrible hour that
followed the wreck and the burning of
the Narragansett in Long Island Sound,
was the deliberate suicide by pistol
shots of two young men, to avoid death
by drowning. It is true that the death
produced by a bullet in the brain is one
of the most painless of deaths, if the
hand be steady that pulls the trigger and
the aim 'be true. But, then, no is death
by drowning. Science, indeed, insists
that it is, or can be made, the easiest of
all deaths. The pain experienced in or
dinary drowning is, we are told, solely
occasioned by the convulsive efforts of
the victim not to drown. As soon aa
these efforts cease and nature is allowed
to have her course all pain ceases also;
ana tue testimony of all resuscitated
persons concur in this the victim sinks
into unoonsoiousness j with plet
ant, and not unpleasant, . sensations
The water coming into contact with the
lung fibre causes an exhileration of the
nerves, and this ; is the last thing
drowning man feels. If a person then
had the courage, when he saw that all
was absolutely lost and death inevitable,
to first expel all the air from his lungs,
tnen leapinp- into i tne sea to draw in a
full Inspiration of water as soon as he
got below the surface, science asserts
that his death would not only be pain
less, but would come to him as sweetly
and softly as slumber or drunkenness or
chloroform stupor. If a person had the
courage ah, there's the rub! How few
men or women would have the courage
thus to bid deliberative farewell to life
in order to purchase a painless death.
Yet, he who could look in a loaded pistol-
barrel wniie lie pulled the trigger, for
this relief, should surely have the nerve
to try science's own plan for escaping the
last agonies. ;
A Pretty Widow. What a loss the
world would experience were pretty
widows to die out from the land! The
young mourner is a legitimate object of

She becomes the pet of society, a pleas
ant companion, a charming sweetheart,
and a dangerous rival; and we pity the
girl who has to battle against her. We
have Been young widows of but ordinary
attractions carry on me palm from
wealth, intellect and beauty combined,
and wonder themselves at their own suc
cess. Even after the first season of their
sorrow is over, and they have ceased to
excite sympathy any more, their ripeness
and tact make man an easy and willing
victim to their subtle charms. Their
past experience, their tutored hearts,
and the aching void of their late loneli
ness, give to their manner that ease,
grace and naturalness that is woman's
chief charm, and makes the young
widow the envy of the women and the
admiration of the men. And she knows

Tbe Skagit Sinei Humbug,
From tbe Evening Telegram.
As much interest has been taken in
What has been called the Skagit mines,
and many of our people are on the eve of
taking their departure for the "gold
fields," we have taken pains to become
informed of the value of the district, and
do not hesitate in denouncing it as a
fraud of the first water. We arrive at
this conclusion upon the best of evi
dence, which we give, hoping we will
not have occasion to again explode this
bauble. We extract aa follows from a
letter written by Colonel Larrabee and
published in one of the Seattle papers,
which is interested in keeping up
THS SKAGIT BOOM.
"I tee no reason to change the opinion
formed when I first saw Skagit gold last
fall.'' I think the time is not far distant
when the twelve miles of Ruby creek
will be one continuous flume, thus ex
posing its entire bed. Anywhere at the
Bhore the 'color' is obtained easily. Just
above our claim the Nip and Tuck boys
took out in a few days 43 ounces, mostly
ooarse gold, and this with the rudest ap
pliances. A few days ago a
man saved with a rocker 1 ounces with
three hours work, and this at the mouth
of the creek, six miles below Nip and
Tuck. We have men here who
have been mining
FOB THIBTY YEARS
In California, Mexico, Cassiar, and even
in South America and Australia. I
have conversed with a number of these
men, and they all agree that the indica
tions are far better here than any they
have seen elsewhere. The man
who opens his store first, and where he
finds men at work with skill and energy,
trusts them until the first clean-Up that
man will make his pile." The above let
ter is a fair sample of those written by
parties interested in keeping up tbe ex
citement in regard to the Skagit mines.
Mr. Larrabee, the writer, is a lawyer
who owns a share of the claim near the
Nip and Tuck ground. 'He is also inter
ested in town lots .
in ruby crrr,
A city on paper only, there being only
.two or three cabins and a few tents on
the site. He speaks of what old miners
say of the indications. - Now let us see
what one of these same old miners says
over his own signature. Mr. J. E.
Bnmniel, who has had an exjierience of
28 years in the mines of this coast, spent,
several months prospecting on Buby,
Canyon and Granite creeks, and for the
benefit of his friends published, in a
Seattle paper, a full report of his pros
pecting operations, from which we ex
tract the following: " "At the Tunnel
House I saw several men rocking. They
were making from 40 to 60 cents per day.
This is on the main Skagit. From there
on to Buby I saw other jwirties working
with no better success. These were men
trying to make a few dollars to take
them out out of the country and not to
have to beg their way. I camped on
Buby creek for several weeks. Those
mining there were making about the
same. They could get about
OS CRNT PROSPECT
To the pan in a two-rneh strata of gravel
with from five to twenty-five feet of dirt
on top that would not prospect one color
to the pan. There is not a color found
outside of the main stream, and not
enough in this to justify the working of
it. Even if this stream contained gold
in paying quantities it would take from
$2,500 to $3,000 to open every claim, so
ft poor man would have no show. But
they never will be opeued. They call
them creeks, but the moaning of the
word is lost when applied to Buby or
Granite, for they are rivers, and large
ones. There is not half an ounce of
gold-dust being taken out ft day for all
the men in the so called mines. The
prospecting and mining that has been
done on Granite and Canyon has been
very unsatisfactory, and proved those
streams to be worthless. Where bed
rock was reached, only
a pew fine colors -
Could be found. There is' come fine
looking gold going tha "rounds, but it
was never taken out of the Skagit. I
have been offered one half of claims on
Buby creek if I would bear the expenses
of opening them, but after a thorough
examination I could find nothing to jus
tify me in doing so. Claims can be had
along Ruby for from $5 to 50, part
down, and balance on bed-rock. You
can't sell $50 worth of grub here at any
price. I have seen tea, coffee, bacon
and sugar offered at five cents per pound
in a camp, but no buyers. There will
be no trail for animals this year, for
there is nothing found to justify the
building of it. There has been
THREE KII.ES OF BRUSH
Cut out on the supposed trail for which
the citizens of Seattle pretended to have
raised money for, but at the rate they are
working it will take them three years to
put it through, and it will cost $5000.
My advice to miners is to pro slow and in
the opposite direction from Skagit." We
have before us another letter, from
Eugene Murphy, an old California
miter, which was published by the Bed
Bluff Sentinel, June 29th. Mr. Murphy
ia even more emphatic in his denuncia
tion of the Skagit country than Bum
met. He spent some four or five months
in the pretended mining regions, and in
that time fully satisfied himself of their
worthlessness. In his report he says:
"The Skagit region is a God-forsaken
country. There is but one claim opened
and that is a failure. The immigration
to the diggings is at present slim, three
persons leaving to one coming in. The
mines amount to just nothing at all, the
best spots yet found paying but $1 50
per day to the man. There is
NO DEMAND FOB LABOR,
As there is no ground that will pay to
work. Those hopeful ones who always
look on the bright side of everything
still think there may be something found
in the country, but nine-tenths of the
miners, a majority of whom are old
hands at the business, are disgusted with
the country. There are no hill claims
whatever, the hills being common solid
rock, the only indication of color being
obtained in the beds of the creeks. I
brought some quartz with, me to San
Francisco and had it assayed. It panned
out from $1 to $3 10 to the ton nig
gardly poor. I have got all I want of
the Skagit, and advise no one to go
there." The above is only an extract of
Mr. Murphy's report, and goes to show
what practical miners think of the
Skagit mines after having thoroughly
tested them. We think the public less
liable to be deceived
BY DISINTERESTED MINERS
Than by interested lawyers. A few days
ago we had an interview with an old ex
perienced miner who was stoping at
the St. Charles, and whom we have per
sonally known since 1852 when we mined
together in the placers of California, and
know him to be perfectly reliable. He
had just returned from the Skagit,
where he had been for upwards of two
months. In that time he did considera
ble prospecting, enough anyway to sat
isfy him that the country was a humbug,
and he so pronounctd it. He said no
gold, whatever, had been found outside
the bed of Buby creek, and that it would
cost Si-to get every one dollar out. Said
he, "There has been from 1800 to 2000
miners at the diggings, at times, since
the first of May, and now there are not
over 75 men in the mines all told." As
we said before, these reports from ex
perienced miners, based upon practical
tests, ought to outweigh the rose colored
accounts given by those interested in
WHOOPING. CP. AN EXCITEMENT. '
However, we shall feel sorry for Col.
Larrabee, if he don't succeed in getting
some one to go to that camp, open ft
store and trust him until the first clean
up, as that seems to be what's troubling
him most. But what any one wants of
trust in a country where one can, as he
says, go out and rock out W, ounces in
three hours, is past our finding out.
However, it has now been over a year
since the first effort was made to create
an excitement and rush to that region,
and if there had been any pay dirt there
not only one store, but a dozen or more
would have been established there long
since. Their absence is the best possible
proof that the mines are worthless.
Sarin J About Cat
For living "cat ftnd dog life," the
French say to "love like cats and dogs;"
and this leads us to observe that many
of the sayings which are current in one
language appear in others more or less
modified. Thus, we say "to buy a pig
in a poke;" but in France, Flanders and
elsewhere they say "to buy a cat in a
bag." ..
A scalded cat dreads cold waterjust as
muoh as a burnt child dreads the fire;
and though a scalded eat does not go
back to the kitchen, the Spanish idea is
good: "One eye on the pot, and the
other on the cat." The Italian means
cat when he is in earnest, does not mean
cat when he is in jest, and plavs the dead
cat when he dissimulates, ife calls the
cat when he speaks plainly; he sets
about skinning the cat when he under
takes a hard task; and when he Bees no
one he finds himself neither cat nor dog.
That evil-doers are caught at last, he
shows by saying the cat goes so often to
the bacon that she leaves her claws
there. He goes to see the cat drowned
when he lets himself be imposed upon,
and he cheats another when he gets him
to go and see him fish along with the
cat. Though every cat would like a
bell, tbe cat of Messina scratched out its
own eyes innrder not to see the rats.
The Spaniard, like the Italian, plays
the cat when he dissimulates, but it is
not ft dead one. The Spaniard says the
cat would be a good friend if he did not
scratch, and be thinks a cat which mews
is not a good mouser. An Italian says
one had better be the head of a cat than
the tail of a lion; a wary German goes
like a cat round hot broth, and believes
it too late to drive the cat away when the
cheese is eaten. Many believe that a
good cat often loses a mouse, that no cat
is too small to scratch, and that you can
not keep away the cat when it has tasted
cream. The Russian that play for cats
means tears for the mice; the Arab says
that when the cats and mice are on good
terms the provisions suffer; the Turk
tells us that two cats can hold their own
against one lion. Another Turkish say
ing is, it is fast day to-day, as the oat
said when it could not get at the liver.
The Englishman fancies that some men
have as many lives as a cat that a cat,
in fact, has nine lives; yet he holds that
care will kill a cat, and that May kittens
should be drowned. He is scarcely
alone iu thinking that the more you
stroke a cat's back the higher she raises
her tail in other words, that flattery
feeds vanity, ne lets tue oat out of tne
bag; but so do others, and they all agree
that it is in the nature o! a cat always to
fall on its feet. Only he talks of turn
ing cat in pan, and of raining cats and
dogs, or sees folks dance like a cat on hot
bricks.
The Spaniard says, "Has the cat kit
tened?" when he sees a place full of
lights; and he asks, "Who has to take
the cat out of tne water? wnen some
thing unpleasant has to be done. That
any one watches as a cat a mouse, is
French as much aa English. The French
always say, She is as daiuty as a cat;
it is nothing to whip a cat for; their
singers have a cat in the throat when the
throat is not clear; and the phrase "oat
music" is not unknown. If one has a
scratched face, he has been playing with
cats; and an impossibility is a mouse's
nest in a'cat's ear. That people should
sometimes go like a cat over hot coals, is
intelligible enough. The Queen.
The Horse's Frog. ,j
If we were to go to many a blacksmith
and ask hiui if he did not think nature
had made a mistake in putting the clumsy
frog iuto the horse's foot.he would hardly
be ready to say yes, and very likely
would puton a surprised look.and perhaps
explain that in some countries horses did
very well without thoes, and so the frog
was left to care fcr itself. But while not
ready to take ground with you iu any
criticism of the plan uponwhich the foot
is construuted.you have but to look in the
cornerot the shop where two horses stand
newly shod ; lift up their feet and ob
serve for yourself, that if the smith has
not said it, the knife has said the frog is a
bad thing, and mutt be cut away. The
horses do not stand on the ground, but
nearly half an inch higher, on the iron of
their fihoe, and outer shell ef their hoof.
The practice is as sensible as it would be
for a man who had to travel on all fours,
taking the weight on the nails of his
fingers and toes rather than on the cush
ion which lies behind them. It is always
the soft part tbe india rubber part of
the leet of animals that have such which
receives the weight, and not the shelly,
hard part. We know what an elephant's .
foot is; it is all rubber-like. The horse

The object in shoeing the animal, aside
from the occasional one of changing its
gait, is simply to prevent the wear and
shatteting of the outer sbell, and to en
able it to take a firmer hold of the ground,
escaping the slipping of the unshod horn.
It is an unfortunate incident of our sys

from the ground as a boy is when he
mounts stilts.
Self-Winding Clocks. A clock
rnaker of Copenhagen, named Louis
Soenderberg, who for sometime past has
had charge of the city's electric time
keepers, has just invented an ingenious
appliance which obviates the necessity
of winding up the regulator, from which
the clocks in question "take their time."
By a mechanical contrivance which peri
odically cuts off the stream of electric
fluid emanating from' the battery, and
brines an electric magnet to bear upon
the relaxed mainspring in such a way as
to renew its tension instantaneously, per
petual motion is practically imparted to
the works of the regulator that is to
say, as long as the batteries connected
with it are kept properly supplied with
acids. The discoverer of this important
improvement has satisfied himself, by
six months successful experiments in his
own workshops, that his system works
faultlessly, and has applied for permis
sion to adapt it to the electric clocks set
up by the municipality in different parts
of the Danish Capital. Electricity, un
der Mr. Soenderberg a compulsion, is
destined not only to make the Copenha
gen clocks go, but to wind them up, witu
never-ending recurrence, until the "crack
of doom.
The Talkative Judge. A long-winded
lawyer lately defended a criminal nnauo
cessfnlly, and during the trial the Judge
received the following note: "The pris
oner humbly prays that the time occu
pied by the plea of the counsel for the
defense be counted in his sentence,
This recalls an incident in our State
Supreme Court. Tbe late Michael San
ford was arguing ft case and the late
Jndire Gould was d residing. Tbe Judge
had interrupted the counsel considera
bly, and when be reminded tne counsel
that his "hour was up' the latter said:
"Well, your Honor ought to give me
half an hour more, for you have talked
half the time since have been on my
feet." The same Judge once fell into a
ferry-way, and, unable to swim, he had
the presence of mind to turn on his back
and float until be was rescued. ' In nar
rating the circumstance to a lawyer, be
said: "All I had to do was to keep on
my back with my mouth shut for three
minutes." . , The : lawyer - exclaimed:
"Judge, how did you manage to keep
your mouth shut so long? iuxchange.

A correspondent of , the Providence
Journal ia speaking. of Jupiter aa a
morning star, and his approach to
ward hit perihelion, speculates on
his supposed action on the sun, in
producing sun spots and other dis
turbances, and the effect of these
again on the earth. If, he says, the
planet Neptune was discovered, or
supposed, to exist on account of cer
tain perturbations in the movements
of Uranus, and if the erratic move
ments ot Mercury reveal the pres.
ence of planets within his orbit, why
should not the near ; approach of
Jupiter to the sun stir up a commo
tion in his fiery elements? The sun
is still diversified with spots, and the
planet is near enough to perihelion
to make his influence felt. Astrono
mers have been wise prophets thus
far, as to the influence of the com
mencement of tbe sun spot cycle.
Tornadoes and cyclones of extreme
severity have borne witness to ab
normal conditions of the atmosphere,
and a wave of 'intense heat, such as
has not occurred for a quarter of a
r-Ant.nrv fit. fhia aauaAn a( tko m
has confirmed tbe exactness of preff
vious observations. We must still
expect tbe usual storms, waves of
heat and auroral displays that follow
the maximum of sun-spots; we have
yet to learn whether the coincident
perihelia of the four great planets
will increase and prolong the elemen
tal warfare. This is one of the most
interesting problems of tho day, as
well as one of tho most practical and
important. It will not meet with a
basty solution, for the period of
observation extends to the year 1885.
Herschel, the great astronomer, said
that "sun spots influenced tbe price
of corp." This" assertion is easily un
derstood, for heat, drouth and storms
exert a mighty influence on harvests,
and if theeo are lessened the value of
what remains is increased. Students
of astronomy will, therefore, regard
with especial interest tbe movements
of Jupiter in tbe morning sky, while
they ponder upon the mysterious
link that unites in one harmonious
whole the members of tho- solar
family. .-;
Care ef the Hands.
A writer for an Eastern exchange says:
It does not follow that bands which look
the worst do the most work; but it may
prove that the hands have been treated
carelessly, and I might say cruelly. For
instance, when a woman plunges her
hands into hotjwater until they look like
boiled lobsters, or taking hold of the
handles of hot kettles or flat-irons, caus
ing them to become like some people's
conscience, "seared as with a hot iron."
How it looks to see a well-dressed lady,
with hands all scratches, burns or scars!
I have wondered if they did not almost
wish they could take them off and leave
them at home whenever they went in
company. Have plenty of soft, thick
holders near the stove to take hold of the
handles of kettles or pans, Keep a pair
of gloves near your sun-bonnet to bring
in wood, work in the garden, or to put
on when you sweep, that your hands may
not become callous. If they are liable to
chap.use plenty of glycerine or wash them
iu vinegar, and when you sit down to your
sewing and your hands feel like a nutmeg
grater, rub them with camphor, and it
will make them feel so soft and pliable
that you will be enabled to handle the
finest fabric without its adhering to your
fingers. If you are troubled with salt
rheum, use juniper tar Boap, which is al-
most an luiuiuom remuuy. j.eep it
bottle with a few cents' worth of oxalic
acid dissolved in it, and marked poison,
somewhere handy, and when there are
fruit stains, or you have been coloring
carpet rags or old garments, use a few
drops on the stained parts and they will
disappear. If you are in the habit of
scraping the pans or kettles with your
finger nails, don't do it never again;
but keep an old knife for the purpose
Sisters, take good care of your hands,
for your husband s sake, for your own
sake, for your comfort and for your con
venience.
Could uot Marry Peaceably. s
It is not intended that man shall
marry peaceably. Bill Skittles lives in
South Arkansas. r or the past six
months he has been studying for the
ministry, and it occurred to Bill several
days ago that just before instituting a re
vival it would be a good idea to get
married. He mentioned the subject to a
young lady and askedher to share his
ministerial melancholly hilarity, but the
young lady said she had promised to
marry Zeb Monk, the professional well-
cleaner of at tbe neighborhood. Uli,
well," said the minister, "I am pretty
well acquainted with Zeb, and I don't be
lieve he'd kick."
- The young lady finally agreed, and tho
wedding day was fixed.
Grand preparations were made. The
girl's brothers had caught a couple of
possums, and the old lady bad baked an
immense sfteet-notato pie. The J ustice
of the Peace arrived. The parties took
their places. The Justice proceeded
with the ceremony, when Zeb Monk
walked in and demanded:
"Let up thar, boss. Say, cap'n, turn
that gal loose.
"I reckon I won't," replied Bill.
"Well, then, said Zeb, drawing a re
volver, : "I'll kinder resort to extremi
ties."
"See here," remarked Bill, "are you
m yearnest about this thing?
. "I reckon I am."
"Do you mean hog's head and turnip
"I reckon I do."
"Eight down to corn bread and cab
bages?"
"I reckon it is."
"Well, then, you can take the gal; it
was only sweet mute and apple pie with
me. I'm in fun. I had a new pair of
trowsers and didn't know what to da
with 'em. Come a little closer. Is it
spar ribs and backbones?"
"I reckon it is."
"Then the gal's yourn."and with
slight change in the license the marriage
proceeded. Uttle Jtock (Ark) Gazette.
Talue of Woman's Work.
Eev. Thomas K. Beecher, writing to
the Chrtstaia Union of his camp-life
in the woods, gives the following ad'
vice:
"All men ought to go to the woods,
and religiously do their own washing
and general work such as sewing,
cooking, housekeeping, and dish-washing.
The work of women is not spoken
of sensibly by men until they have done
it themselves. Gentlemen readers, it ia
easy to talk! But just try it on a very
moderate scale once, and you'll honor
workingwomen more than ever. Do as
I have done do a wash of six pieces-"
and then remember that a woman turns
off 200 pieces in a day. , Look at your
watch and see how long it takes you.
Look at your soap ' and see how much
you have used.- Look at your white
clothes, handkerchief or towel, and see
what you have done or not done, and
never again Bpeak harshly of or to a
woman on wash-day, nor of laundry
work as if it were unskilled labor. Try
it. Don t talk. Don t sneer. Try it.
A sympathetic gentleman having washed
two dozen pieces will never change his
shirt again without ft glow of reverence
and gratitude. She did this. A similar
and salutary consciousness will come to
him who darns his own socks, patches
his trousers, splices his suspenders, ftnd
washes dishes. Look not every man
upon his own things, but every man
also upon the work of a woman. Such
an experience in the woods will go far
toward settling the woman question, by
teaching us that we are all members, one
of another, and there must be no
actusm." ... .
"Honesty is the best policy," but too
many people claim that they cannot af

Japller and Solar Disturbance.
Wilib'f en tae Water. -
An exhibition of considerable interest
was given on the Harlem River, near
High Bridge, yesetrday afternoon, the
feat of locomotion afoot upon the surface
of the water, being satisfactorily accom
plished. It was not precisely walking, but
was, if such a term may be used with re
ference to the water, more like skating.
The apparatus used was the result of a
doubt in the mind of the inventor, Mr.
W. C. Soule, as to the tinth of what was
taught him at school that to walk on
the water by mechanical aid was impost
sible. Tbe occasion of the first attempt
was tbe presence on the water-side, near I
his home in Wayne county, of great num-
bers of snipe in a place too deep for wading j
and too thick with mud to bo accessible
by a boat. So be made a sort of wooden j
shoe, with swinging paddles on the under
side, which allowed for a forward push
without resistance, but took hold of the
water when the foot was drawn back giv
ing a leverage for propulsion.
The floats used yesterday by Mr. Soule
were made of sheet sine, soldered air and
watertight.' They were five feet long, ten
inches wide and five inches deep. They
were also pointed at each end to reduce
the resistance to the water, having the
appearance of models of double-ended
caoal boats, with perpendicular sides all
the way around. In tbe middle of the
upper side a hole, or "well," ia mink to re
ceive tne toot or the wearer, in is oeing
open at the top, and liable to receive
water, is separate trom the water-light
body of the "boat." Tbe apparatus is
welt braced inside lor strength. The
propelling part is beneath, and consists
of. two "sang" paddles, one at each end.
These sots of paddles, which open aud
shut by the motion through the water
like a window blind (except that the sep
arate paddles are swung by the upper
side instead of by the middle), are held
by iron side piece, winch are tusteued to
the zinc boaU. Wires before and behind
hold these sets of paddles in place per
pendicularly under the boat.
When the walker on the water w
mounted in his "shoes," which resemble,
they lie together on the water, the
double hnlls of the new steamship
Castalla, built.for the English Channel, or
or a catamaran, ue pushes lorward witn
one foot, the motion opening the paddles,
which yield to the water, giving no resis
tance. Then, as he pushes forward the
other foot, he withdraws the! former one.
closing tbe paddles, and pulling himself
forward bv the resistance of the water.
The repetition of these motions consti
tutes the new system of walking on
water." It is not dissimilar to the effort
required for the use of snowsboes, except
that there is no lifting necessary. The
name given the apparatus by the inven
tor is "water skates."
The useful purpose of tbe apparatus is
briefly described as enabling oue to go
where he can neither a toot or m a boat.
One could ash or hunt after acquiring
facility iu its use, and when tired could
"sit down on his shoes." Mr. Soule
crossed the river several times clothed in
an ordinary suit, aud afterwaids dived
into the ' water in a bathing suit, and re
gained his footing in the floating shoes
from the water. The exhibition at 'rat-tea
much, attention from the excursionists in
the vicinity, asd was repealed a often aa
the curious small boys in boats and the
frequent: regular landing or the steam'
boats permitted. Jew l orn jieroia. .
Hew to Use Glue.
The following practical hints on the
preparation and use of glue are from the
London 1'urnxtvre Gazette:
All the glue as received from the factory
requires the addition of water before it
will melt properly, ani every addition or
water (while the glue istresh made.) win,
up to a certain peiut, increase the ad
hesiveness and elasticity : and it is the
duty of every man who uses glue to find
out just where that point lies, as it is pos
sible to melt glue and have it so thick
that alter it is dry or set it will be so brit
tle as not to adhere to the wood. Some
glues will bear more water than others,
but all will bear more water than usually
falls to their share, and that, too, with a
greater increase in the quality of the
work. .
For glue to be properly effective, it re
quires to penetrate the pores of the wood.
and the more a body of glue penetrate
the wood the more substantial the joints
ill remain. Utues that takes the longest
to dry are to be preferred to those that
dry quick, the slow-drying glues being
always the strongest, other things being
equal.
For general use, no method gives so
good result aa the following: Break the
glue up small, put into an iron kettle,
cpver the glue with water and allow it to
soak 12 hours: after soaking, boil until
done. Then pourit into an air-tight box ;
leave the cover off until cold, then cover
up tight. As glue is required, cut out a
portion and melt In tbe usual way. Ex
pose no more of tbe made glue to the at
mosphere for any length of time than is
nscesRary, as the atmosphere is very ue
structive to made glue.
.Never heat made glue in a pot that is
subjected to tbe direct heat of the fire or
a lamp. All such methods or heating
glue cannot be condemned in terms too
senve.
I Do not use thick .glue for joints or ve
neering. In all cases work it well into
the wood iu a similar . manner to what
painters do with paint. Glue both sur
faces of your work.excepting in the case of
veneering. Never glue upon hot wood or
use hot cauls to veneer with, as the hot
wood will absorb all the water in the glue
too suddenly, and leave only a very little
residue, with no adhesivd'power in it.
A Spoiled Skbmon. A xarmouth
(Me.) preacher, while illustrating the
need and efficacy of prayer, drew an
illustration from his own experience. He
was out on a lake in a boat, when by
mischance he lost both oars. The wind
was rising, night was coming on and he
was in imminent danger of being
swamped and finding a watery grave.
What could he do ? Evidently nothing
for himself, so he knelt down and prayed
long and fervently for dehverence. He
placed himself in'the hands of the Lord
and so .was saved. So he passed from
one thing to another, and at last the ser
mon was finished. He raised his hands
to pronounce the benediotion. The
audience stood with bowed heads wait
ing for the gracious words, when old
Captain Sweetser, of North Yarmouth, a
rugged old sea-dog, cried out: "Say,
Mr. Preacher, I want you to tell me how
you got ashore?" The audience was still
no more, but broke into a roar, and it
was fully five minutes before the minis
ter could explain that a man saw him
from the shore and put out in another
boat and took him off. But the effect
for good of one sermon was spoiled.
Ladies About to Mabby. In marry

repent at leisure. Do not marry for a

aunts, fathers or , mothers sell yon, for
money or position, into bondage, tears
and life-long misery, which you alone
must endure. Do not place yourself

"Now, here, I want some word that'll
just paralyse her!' I want a word
that boils down all the nice things
you could say about her face and fig
ure and all that sort of thing." We
thought; a moment, then gave him
the word and he slid off. lie came
back in about a week, and, throwing
a letter at us, fiercely ejaculated:
"What are ycr gmn' us? Look at
that!" and stood glowering at us un
til we read the following extract
from the young lady's reply: "I was
much pleased with your former let
ters, but in your last you seem to
have gone a long way to find a word
with which to deliberately make fun
of me. If you will kindly explain
what you mean by the expression,
'your pulchritude,' I may forgive
you. If not, all is over between us."

Why Atheism is Hated. We may at
least remark that some atheists have
done their best to provoke and justify
tbe feeling of antagonism. It becomes
at least intelligible when a French
atheist writer of the day blandly assures
us that "virtue and vice are the results
of a current of electricity, and are
natural products in just the same way as
sugar and vitriol;" while a German
writer i of the some school, Hellwald,
points the moral of such teaching in the
cynically frank avowal that "the object
of science is to destroy all ideals, and to
show that belief in God is a fraud, that
morality, equality, freedom, love and
tha rights of man are lies." It would be
absurdly unjust to hold atheists, as such,
responsible for these and similar offences
against the common feelings of mankind ;
but they may serve to explain, if they
fail to justify, the popnlar estimate of
atheism. The Saturday Review.
