CHAULEXIGSE'S DAUGHTER.
Have you ever been in Germany? If
not would recommend yon to lose no
time in visiting a very peculiar and to
me, a very interesting country. Accom
pany me np the Main to the Tillage of
tielingentadt (the Abode of Bliss) ,
about a dozen miles from Frankfort.
The Tillage is delightfully situated,
elose by the bank of the river. It has a
large forest in its rear, add a large ont
skirt of the Spessart a fine champaign
before it on the opposite bank. High

an edifioe well-known, to the Lovers of ro-
manoe.
The best house in the Tillage is the
Anberge, oyer which, some years ago, a
host pieuided, whose capacious size and
rotnnd figure involuntarily reminded one
of the Great Tun of Heidlesborg. The
Herr Von Cothen was a genuine German
his meerschaum seldom, left his lips,
xoept when the wine-cup. an hereditary
troblet of massy silver, won at a drink-
ing bout by one of his ancestors, was
raised to them. The man seemed to live
but for smoking not that he ever waa
known to be what is called "disguised in
liquor he pretested tnatsncn a quan
tity of clay as nimaelx required moisture,
and he took good care to moisten it.
It was my fortune to know him for the
space of three months, and I can safely
sar that, with one exception, I never
knew him venture on any deviation from
his trinity 'of practices, the aforenamed
drinking, smoking and sleeping.
We bad spent a pleasant day in what
was the Spessart forest, and were re
turning home when the Red Tower met
our view. We were weary and tnrew
ourselves on the mossy bonk beneath the
shade of a mighty tree, where, in a few
moments, both of us fell asleep. I was
awakened by the voice of my companion

had almost fallen into disuse. Von
Cothen lay on the ground at listless
length, while telling a tale somewhat to
the following effect:
Borne centuries aero there was an Em
peror Nero (no relative of him of Borne)
who came, after the manner of the times,
to celebrate his Christmas holidays at
Frankfort. He was devotedly fond of
y ' the chase, and held nearly an equal
affection tor his daughter, a maiden over
whom some seventeen summers had
lightly flown. She was, indeed, if there
be truth in legendary report, a very de
lightful, beautiful and innocent creature.
But her physical charms were even
less than the rare purity of her mind,
the soft and gentle character of her foel-

cheered the peasant's lot; brought up
i amid the magnificence of an imperial
court, she won the envy of one sex and
! the earnest admiration of the other.
Such beauty of person and goodness of
heart could not remain unknown; and,
- being an only child, many of the princes
of the empire put in their chum for her
hand, Bat the lady's heart was pre
engaged, and she paid little attention to
the compliments of her many royal
wooers.
.Clorinda, thus she was called, had set
her affections on one far beneath her
in rank. Like'
i The king's daughter of Hongarle,
I Who loved a aqulraef low degree.
The ' daughter of the Emperor Nero
had given her heart's first love to a
young man, one of her father's hunts
men. : It is impossible to say how the secret
was discovered, bat certain it was that
the princess was placed in close confine
ment, and her lover would have been
summarily and severely dealt with, but
he had taken flight, and pursuit was use-
loss, no one knowing in what direction
he had fled. To do the young man jus
tice, he had anticipated the discovery of
a secret dear to him ashis life, and takan
steps accordingly. Deep in the hidden
haunts of the Spessart he had found a
cavei probably the former residence of
- some religions ascetic and be had made
the bst provision in his power for that
decisive step which, love whispered, the
princess would not refuse to take, for his
sake and her own. While she, in tears,
sat in the solitude of her chamber, her
Lndolf was busy in making preparations
- for her rescue.
1 Whenever princesses fall in love with
their father's huntsmen it is customary
for royalty to be utterly appalled. Ac
cordingly, the Emperor was in a most
magnificent passion, and gave strict or
ders that the prinoess should be confined
to her own chamber. The next morn
in sr. however, he made the discovery
- iurt a few hours too late that the bird
had sown Uke liove.
Ha opened the window and new away.
The poor old Emperor pined after
her so bitterly that not an unmarried
lady of the court but would have been
willing to console him, had he offered
her his band. Jut, mucn to tne aisap
- joiaant of their, philanthropic inten
tions, His Majesty did not see how be
eould atone for the loss of a daughter by
taking a wile.
The princess and her Lndolf (who
had assisted her out of her confinement)
lived as happily "benath the greenwood
tree, as n there Jiaa never oeen sucn
things as courts and kings, emperors
and principalities. They loved one
another earnestly and well, and (bat
this was long ago) had no wish to return
to the crowds of society. Even if they
had, there would have been no safety in
attemntinsr it. for how could either hope
for forgiveness? Meanwhile, the loss of
his daughter had fallen heavily on the
Emperor. She was the sole living thing
to which his hopes had long been linked
and all the father and the man were
shaken by the uncertainty of her fate
and her absence from those places over
which her smiles threw a radiance, beau
tiful as the last tints of dying day upon
the snow-crowned hills. The old man
aid little, bnt his grief was deep. Pride
, would not permit him to yield to open
" lamentations, but in secret he shed many
a tear. His household ffoda were suiv
red by his hearth, and, like Rachel
mourning for her children, he would not
be comforted.
He quitted Frankfort, and many years
elsptea before he again saw the place
with which wero linked so many and
such sad recollections. He had laid
aside his usual sports the huntsman's
spear had rarely been held by him since
that day on which he lost a daughter;
and it was with some surprise that the
court heard him announoe that he would
hold a hunting match on the morrow.
Fire years had lessened hit endurance
of fttigua, and it was with some pleasure
that at the close of day, when the ardor
of tie cheats had separated him from his
suite, he found himself beside a rustic
hut, at the door of which two lovely
chih !ren were playing. To dismount
from his weary steed, to enter the cot
tage, and to request refreshment, was
but the work of a moment, and instant I
yrej arations were made for dm repast. I
The Emperor had fallen upon the resi
dence of Ids long-lost and still loved
daughter. Lndolf was a successful
deer-etealer, and the fruits of the earth
furnished them with other food. Be
sides, Ludolf had learned that the,. Em
peror had quitted Frankfort soon after
the flight of the Princess, and, elt little
hesitation in visiting the Wrket there,
to exchange deer and other skins for
necessaries, and sometimes lor a lew oi
the luxuries to which Clorinda had been
accustomed, and which she had left for
him. Frugal in their habits and their
desires, they had lived happily without
a wish for change.
The graceful girl had budded into the
glorious maturity of womanhood; and,
further changed by her rustio attire, the
Emperor did not know his child. She
knew him at a single glance, and there
came quick throbbing memories of the
past, wild hones of the future. ;
The sole repast which their situation
permitted on the instant was some veni
son, poached by Ludolf in the Emper
or s own forest. Wliat liniii is mere to
woman's wit. when aided by woman's af
fection? Clorinda prepared the repast
with her own hands, serving up a dish
which she remembered to have been a
favorite with her father of which, too,
he had never eaten except when it was
prepared by his daughter's hands. Scarce
ly had he tasted the. food ere the tears
began to fall, fast and bitterly, lor ner
whose memory neither time nor anger
could destroy, and he eagerly inquired
from whom his young hostess had learned
to prepare that dish.
The Princess and her husband feu at
the old man's feet. The Emperor was
still a father; his kind heart remembered
only that his daughter was before him;
all was forgotten and forgiven; he named
the place Selingenstadt, or the Abode of
Bliss (in double commemoration of his
daughter and his dinner) ; he carried the
happy family with him to his palace, ate
his favorite meals as often as he wished
to his dying day and built the Red
Tower as a marriage gift for his daughter.
The lovers built a church where their hut
had stood, and when they died they were
buried within its walls.
Such were the particulars which the
Herr Von Cothen i communicated to me.
The noxt day I made some inquiries re
specting the story, which seemed obscure
in some parts; the old man stoutly and
sternly denied having uttered a syllable
on the subject, and appealed to his well
known taciturnity as evidence that he
did not belong to the class of story
tellers a set of persons for whom he
had a most avowed and resolute con
tempt. He admitted,' however, that I
had picked up thb popular - legend in
some way, but persisted in the denial
that he had been the narrator. I was
obliged to be content with his explana
tion, although it did not give me a very
exalted opinion of the , veracity of mine
host. i '
Some months afterward, as I was look
ing at "Titian's Assumption of the Vir
gin" in the Dresden Gallery, I met with
Augustus Saalfield whom I had known at
Gottingen. We spent the day together,
and I told him, among other things, the
mistake in which Van Cothen had fallen
respecting the narration of the above
tale. 'Saalfield smiled, and dissipated
my wonder by informing me that the
worthy host of the Abode of Bliss was a
somnambulist, and the best stoi-y-teller
within twenty leagues of Frankfort in
Lis sleep. , j ; j
I learned, at the same time, that this
legend took ita origin from the fact that
Selingenstadt witnessed the loves and
still preserves the remains of Eginhard
and Emma, the Secretary and daughter
of Charlemantre. Tradition lias made a
sad mistake in the names of i all the
parties by taking Nero for Charlemange,
and the lovers for Lndolf and Clorinda.
The Red Tower (now sadly dilapidated)
was the residence of the lovers after
Charlemange saved the honor of his fa
vorite daughter by giving her hand to
his secretary. Eerinhard built a church
on the spot, and his bones and those of
bis beloved repose in a mossy antique
sarcophagus on a monument beneath its
roof. .:
An Oyster Tarn.
I never found anything but once here
in excess of my expectations or even ap
proaehing them, and that was the New
York oysters. I had just then come on
from California, wnere oysters are very
small and unimportant, not to say insig
nificant, and I had often eaten a hundred
there at a time, and had always felt that
I could eat more if I had them. So,
when I arrived at the Metropolitan
Hotel, I ordered my dinner to be brought
to my room, and told the waiter to bring
with my dinner a strong cup of coffee
and a hundred raw oysters. He looked
at me a moment and then said:
"Did I understand yon to say a hun
dred ovsters ?" t . 1
"Yes." I answered: "raw, on the half-
shell, with vinegar; no lemons, and as
soon as you can, for I am very
hungry."
"Ahem! Miss, did you want a hun
dred?" ! : I
"Yes, I do. What are you waiting
for ? Must I pay for them in ladvanoe ?
I want nice large ones."
"No, no, miss. ; All right, ; rou shall
have them," and he went out. I contin
ued my writing and forgot all ibout my
dinner until he knocked and came in
with my dinner on a tray, but no oysters.
"How is this ?" said I. "There are no
oysters."
"Dey's comin', miss, dey's comin',"
and the door opened and in filed three
more sons of Africa's burning sands,
each with a big tray of oysters on the
half-shell. I was staggered, but only
for a moment, for I saw the waiters were
grinning, so I calmly directed them to
place one tray on a chair, one on the
washstand and one on the bed, and I said:
"They aro very small, aren't they?"
"Oh, no, miss, de berry largest we'se
eot." . ' i - :
"Verv well." said I. you can go. If I
want any more I'll ring.
When they got out into the hall one
said to the other:
" 'Fore God, Joe, if she eats all them
ovsters she s a dead woman
I did not feel hungry any longer. I
drank my coffee and looked at the oys
ters, everv one as bid as my hand, and
they all seemed looking at mo with their
nombie wnite laces, ana out oi tneir one
diabolical eye, until I could not have
eaten one any more than I conid have
carved up a live baby. They leered at
me and seemed to dare me to attack
them. Our California ovsters are small,
and with no more individual character
about them than r grains of rice, but
these detestable creatures were instinct
with evil intentions, and I dared not
swallow one for fear of the disturbance
he might raise in my interior, so I set
about getting rid of them, for I was never
going to give np : beaten before those
waiters. I hung a dress over the key
hole after I locked the door, and just out
side my window found a tin waterspout
that had a small hole in it, I carefully
enlarged it, and they slid every one of
those beastly creatures down one by one
one hundred and two of them they
all the time eyeing me with that cold,
pasty look of malignity. When the last
one was out of sight I stopped trembling
and finished my dinner in peace, and
then rang for the waiters. Ion should
have seen their faces! One of the wait
ers asked me if I would have some more.
May he never know the internal pang he
inflicted on me, but I replied calmly:
"Not now. I think too many at once
might be hurtful." Philadelphia

AmusUf Faith In Ghosts. J
.Tndce Ansrell of the Eighth District;
Court, has just rendered his decision in
a case which involves an amusing ghost
story that for some months past has been
a matter of common gossip and belief
among the residents of a certain neign
borhood in West Sixteenth street. The
action was brought by Mrs. Eliza A.
Stymus, to recover from Amzi Howell
$130 for two months' rent of the house
at No. 551 West Sixteenth street. Mr.
Howell is a flourishing milkman in
Seventeenth street, with an honorable
business reputation, and one of the last
men in the world to evade the payment
af a just debt, or to break a fair contract.
Yet he admitted that having taken the
house for a year from the 1st of May, he
moved out somewhat hurriedly in the
early part of June.
It was only by degrees that his true
reason for thus throwing the premises
back upon Mrs. Stymus was developed:
The upper floor of .the house, he said,
was haunted by spirits, who amused
themselves from sunset to sunrise by
slamming the doors and making a va
riety of loud and blood-curdling noises.
Naturally Mr. Howell was at somo pains
to add that the ghosts did not annoy him
personally: but he intimated that his
family had been reduced to a state of
terror that it would have been simply in
human to keep them longer in such un
pleasant quarters. He therefore deemed
himself justified in breaking the lease.
Vain, however, were all the endeavors
of court and counsel to get any satisfac
tory descriptive testimony as to the true
character of these supernatural mani
festations. There were two witnesses besides Mr.
Howell, who evidently had full faith in
the reality of the ghostly visitations
bia brother-in-law, James H. Bertholf,
and Edward Polk, a colored man. Mr.
Bertholf had resided in the house with
Mr. Howell. A few days after moving
in he was accosted on the street by a
neighbor named Gallagher, who asked if
his name was not Bertholf. Being told
that it was, Gallagher remarked that a
friend of his had bought a farm of Berth
olf in Orange county. This having ex
cused for a friendly interest in Bertholf,
Gallagher added :
"And I'm sorry you have been rent
ing this house of Mrs. Stymus. You
will be glad to move out in a little while;
if you don't move out, the ghosts will
drive you out." After that a gentleman
named EcEvoy confirmed the reputation
the house had for ghosts, and in the
course of a week or so Bertholf heard
the same reports from at least twenty
neighbors. On cross-examination, when
asked if he left because of any ghosts
he had ever seen there, he answered
"no," in a very loud and firm tone of
voioe, and when counsel followed the
question up with, "or because of any
rumors about ghosts," he almost shout
ed, "No, sir, I did not." He was equally
Eositive in denying that ho hail left the
onse without paving the rent.
Mr. Polk, the colored man, had also
heard of the ghosts from a young man of
the neighborhood who had slept in the
house, and that he credited the report
seemed a fair inference from the fact
that he had declined an offer from Sty
mus to occupy the basement and take
care of the house, rent free. He hasten
ed to say, however, that his reason for
declining the invitation was simply that
he was subject to rheumatism, a malady
which would be greatly aggravated by
sleeping in a damp underground room.
The general laugh which greeted this re
mark made him very indignant, and he
became positively angry by the time he
was handed over to the plaintiff's coun
sel for cross-examination:
"Are yon superstitious?" asked the
counsel.
" Superse-tit-tittitions ?" said Polk,
stammering with indignation.
"Are you afraid of ghosts?" suggested
Judge Angell.
"No, sir; no, sir; oh, no; no, sir," he
answered.
"Don't you believe that coming events
cast their shndows before?" again asked
souneel, with a smile.
"Oh, laugh; yes, yon can sit there and
laugh, and you can talk more than I can,
but you don't know nothing at all about
it," replied Polk.
Polk succeeded, however, before he
left the stand, in convincing everyone
that in his opinion, at least, the young
man who had warned him that the house
was "troubled," as he expressed it, had
done him a very great service.
Mrs. Stymus, of course, scouted the
notion of the house being haunted. Her
explanation to the rumors is that during
a period of some few months, when it
remained empty in consequence of the
death of her aunt, who had lived in it
eight years, some boys in the neighbor
hood had obtained admission by break
ing windows in the basement, and
amused themselves by "playing ghost."
She admitted, however, that the fact of
the house being haunted was matter of
common gossip in the neighborhood.
The house itself is an old-fashioned red
brick, English basement house, built on
a model very common a quarter of a cen
tury ago. Its upper or attic story
where the ghosts are believed to dwell
has a peculiarly stunted appearance,
owing to the windows being greater in
breadth than in height. These rooms
were originally intended for the servants
of the family, who, in the estimation of
old-time architects, were entitled to only
half as much air and light as their bet
ters. The house seems to be in fairly
good repair, but though neat and clean
is not cheerful. The ghosts are un
doubtedly possessed of benignant na
tures, since the house is only one door
away from a Baptist chnrch. Judge
Angell's decision is in favor of the
plaintiff. N. Y. Times.
May Girls Jump the Rope.
A surgeon in a western city has pub
lished an article designed to warn parents
against allowing their children to jump
the rope, an amusement of which they
are very fond. His objections to this ex
ercise are that it produces a continuous
concussion of the joints in the spinal
column of a dangerous character, often
resulting in inflammation and necrosis
of the bone, deformity and death. He
concludes by saying: . "I would warn
children against rope dancing, and ad
vise parents to prohibit it under all cir
cumstances." His opinions are founded
on the fact that he has seen very bod re
sults from the practice. While we do
not doubt that jumping the rope may be
carried to a dangerous extent, we deny
that it is a dangerous exercise. It is only
when carried to too great an extent that it
injures, or when practiced by very deli
cate children longer than it should be.
Children in their sports are apt to go to
extremes, and here lies the danger. How
many thousands of children have lost
their lives by eating too much food, or
eating unwholesome food, and yet wo do
not prohibit our children from eating,
but try to teach them how to do it right.
Many children lose their lives in the
water, yet we continue to teach our chil
dren to swim, and shall to the end of
time. Children become injured by
jumping tho rope, and the wise course is
to teach them not to go to extremes in
this or any sport. Jumping the rope is
of itself a perfectly safe exercise. It is
one that children enjoy. It cultivates
all the lower parts of the body in a re
markable manner, giving skill and grace
of movement. Mothers need not pro
hibit it, but only watch their children so
they shall not go too far in its practice.

Another Faded Idol. One by one
the roses fade. It seems that now we
have lost Beatrice de Cenci, William
Tell and a host of other old standbys, we
are to be called upon to bewail the de
parture of that scantily attired eques
trienne, Lady Godiva. A writer in
Notes and Queries says she is a myth.
It is impossible that she should have
ridden through Coventry, for the reason
tliat Coventry was not in existence at the
time. There is, however, some founda
tion for the legend. - Godiva was a lady
possessing vast wealth, with which she
determined to found and endow an
abbey, This she did, "stripping herself
of all that she had," and thence the le
gend. Coventry gradually arose round
the abbey, and had no streets, and conse
quently no toils, until Godiva had been
dead at least a century.
King Ludwlg's Encore.
I am told that in a German concert or
opera they hardly ever encore a song ;
that, though they may bo dying to hear
it again, their good breeding usually
preserves them against requiring the rep
etition, jungs may encore ; that is quite
another matter ; it delights everybody to
see that the king is pleased, and, as to
the actor encored, his pride and gratifica
tion are simply boundless. Still, there
are cironmstances in which oven a roy
al encore bnt it is better to illustrate.
The king of Bavaria is a poet and has a
poet's eccentricities, with the advantage
over other poets of being able to gratify
them, no matter what form they may
take. He is fond of opera, but not fond
of sitting in the presence of an audience;
therefore, it has sometimes occurred in
Munich, that when , an opera has been
concluded, and the players are getting
off their paint and finery, a command has
come to get their paint and finery on
again. Presently the king would arrive
solitary and alone, and the players would
begin at tbe beginning and do the entire
opera over again, with only that one in
dividual in that vast, solemn theatre for
an audience. Once he took an odd freak
in his head. High up and out of sight
over the prodigious state of the Court i
lneatre is a maze of interlaced water
pipes, so pierced that in case of fire in
numerable little thread-like streams of
water can be caused to descend, and, in
case of need, this discharge can be aug
mented to a pouring flood. American
managers might make a note of that.
The king was the sola audience. The
opera proceeded. It was a piece with a
Btorm in it. The mimic thunder began
to mutter, the mimic wind began to wail
and sough, and the mimic rain to patter.
The king's interest rose higher and
higher ; it developed into enthusiasm.
He cried out :
"It is good, very good, indeed 1 But
I will have a real rain. Turn on the
water!"
The manager pleaded for a reversal of
the command, said it would ruin the
costly scenery and splendid custumes ;
but the king cried :
"No matter, no matter; I will have a
real rain. Turn on the water."
So the real rain was turned on and be
gan to tlescend in gossamer lances to the
mimio flower-beds and gravel walks of
the stage. The richly dressed actresses
and actors tripped about singing bravely
and pretended not to mind it. The king
was delighted ; his enthusiasm grew
higher. He cried out :
"Bravo 1 bravo! More thunder! More
lightning ! Turn on more rain !"
Tho thunder boomed, the lightning
glared, the wind raged, the deluge
poured down. The mimic rovaltv of the
j stage, with their soaked satins clinging
to their bodies, slopped around ankle
deep in the water, warbling their sweet
est and best; the fiddlers under tbe eves
sawed away for dear life, with the cold
overflow spouting down their necks, and
the dry and happy king sat in his lofty
box and wore his gloves to ribbons ap
plauding. .
"More yet!" cried the king, "more yet;
let loose all the thunder ; turn on all the
water. I will hang the man who raises
an umbrella."
When the most tremendous and effec
tive storm that had ever been produced
in any theatre was at last over, the
king's approbation was measureless.
He cried :
"Magnificent 1 magnificent 1 Encore 1
Do it again!"
But the management succeeded in
persuading him to recall the encore, and
said the company would feel sufficiently
rewarded and complimented in the mere
fact that the encore was demanded by
his Majesty, without fatiguing him with
a repetition to gratify their own vanity.
During the remainder of the act the
lucky performers were those whose parts
required changes of dresses ; the others
were a soaked, bedraggled and uncom
fortable lot, but in the last degree pic
turesque. The stage scenery was ruined,
trap doors were so swollen that they
wouldn't work for a week afterwards, the
fine costumes were spoiled, and no end
of minor damages were done by that re
markable storm.
It was a royal idea that storm and
royally carried out. But observe the
moderation of the king. He did not in
sist upon the encore. If he had been a
gladsome, unreflecting American opera
audience he probably would have had
his storm repeated and repeated until he
had drowned all these people. Mark
Twain. .
Dabbs and Carter.
Old Dabbs and jim Carter, two colored
men, having grown tired of farming,
came to this city and opened a kind of
grocery store. Dabbs was a shrewd,
bow-logged man, with broad feet, and
with a nose shaped like the half of a pear.
Carter was young and inexperienced.
After the stock had been purchased,
Dabbs remarked;
"Carter, I'se de olest. In dis case hit's
naisessary fur yer tor be do jungier

"All right," said Carter, "I don't keer
what my name is, but I wants half de
money whut eomes in ober do counter."
"Dat's a fack, Carter. Yer'U make a
sharpe business man. Dar's a lot of nig
gers got dor eyes on dis sto', but we'll
fool 'em. Carter, does yer owe any
debts in dis worl'?"
"Lemme see; yes I owes a man for a
saddle blanket."
"How long hab you owed him?"
" 'Bout five yoars."
"How much wuz hit wurf?"
" 'Bout two dollars."
"Lemme count de intrust. Two is two,

dat man 'lebben hundred dollars an' a
quarter."
"How's dat?"
"Why, 'cordin' to de intrust. De in
trust am awful heaby. Hit fairly makes
a man sweat. Hit breaks np de white
man, and robs de nigger of his labor.
Dat man could come and break np our

De Laigeslature is a awful rascally lot of

lent partner. Does yer heah?"
"Ise lisenen'."
"Den de man can't tech yer. I'se got
a head as long as a water million. Wall,
now, let me read yer this paper."
Then Dabbs read the following: "Dis
heah is ter certify dat Dabbs and Carter
is podners. Dabbs is de action podner
an' Carter is de silent podner. Dis is
also ter certify dat as soon as Dabbs
quits bein' de action podner, de whole

quits bein' de silent podner, without an
udder 'greementi de sto' all 'longs ter
Dabbs."
"Dis were wrot up by a cullud law
yer," said Dabbs. "Sign de paper."
The two men signed the instrument and
called in witnesses. Next morning
Dabbs came down to the store early,
and when Carter arrived all of tho wit
nesses were sitting in the storeroom.
"Good mornin", Dabbs," said Carter.
Dabbs didn't say anything, and Carter
continued: "Why de deuce doesn't yer
speak ter me?"
"Do sto's all mine," said Dabbs, aris
ing and turning to the witnesses.
"How's dat ?" asked Carter.
"Case yer'a no longer a silent podner.

set two extra plates for the expected
guests,
Blinding Her Rival.
The Countess de Tilly was a sickly,
discontented female who quarreled with
everybody add especially with her hus
band. Mario Marecbal was a very at
tractive young woman of two and twenty,
of good character, until, in an evil hour
for her, she met the count. The out
raged wife discovered the intrigue and
out of revenge blinded her rival with
vitriol as she was going to her work.
Such is the skeleton of this disgraceful
business, and, knowing only the skele
ton, all sympathy must be given to the
offended spouse. But when the facts of
the case are developed, the sympathy be
comes lessened. At first we could pardon
the sudden explosion of anger on the
part of the deserted wifo, the alteration
of a mother fearing to see compromised
the future of herohildrenby the extrava
gance of an adventuress. There was
nothing of the kind; the fortune of the
family had been so little dilapidated by
the count's outlay on bis mistress that
the countess was able to make a present
of 20,000 frajics to the milliner, as the
judge said, f 'by way of compensation for
her injuries," and she took eighteen
months for reflection before her jealousy
prompted her to act. When she appealed
in court, instead of the swollen eyelids of
one who was suffering from some great
sorrow, she showed a tearless face, the
absence of all emotion and that pursed
up mouth which is the characteristic of
virtuous but disagreeable Xantippes.
For nearly two years husband and wife
had quarreled like cat and dog about
Marie Morochal, but never had there
been between the two any question of a
rupture. They talked about her at
every meal in the presence of the chil
dren; sho taunted him with tbe liason,
told him that doubtless he only waited
her death to "marry that thing." The
count was one of those who, like
Mrs. Skewton, are "all heart;" the
countess was a sort of conjugal
dog in the manger. I don't excuse
tho count, who certainly was a very
wicked man, but it must bo acknowl
edged that the countess was a termagant,
whose constant allusions to her ap-
Eruaching death put me in mind of a
orse-breeder whom I once knew near
Caen. This worthy farmor made up his
mind that he was to die in 1SM0, and or
dered a coffin accordingly. I saw him
last year and found that he had used the
coffin as an oats bin. The truth was that
Mme. de Tilly was jealous of Mile.
Morechal, but not so much on account
of her husband's love as because that
young woman, called by the townsfolk
la petite Comlesse, took it into her head
to copy the gt-ande Comtesse's toilets;
one gown particularly exasperated her.
It ia described to have been of the form
of a violin box, and it can readily be un
derstood that for a sewing girl to venture
on wearing a violin-box shaped gown,
when that arbitress of fashion, the
Countess of Tilly, thought herself to
stand alone in fjiis costume in the midst
of a population still addicted to crino
lines, was an unpardonable outrage only
to be washed out with strong waters. "I
merely meant to dab her on the face
with a sponge," said the great lady, "but
my indignation got the better of me
when I heard her laugh behind my
back." It was a pretty vengeance, most
horrible in its consequences, but of the
same order as that of peasant girls who
cut a piece out of some rival belle's
dress because it is finer than theirs, and
all through the trial was apparent that
pettiness which is characteristic of
French provincial tribunals. The court
room was transformed into a sort of
parlor, with chairs, for the family and
intimate friends, in the rear of the lady
who was up for judgment. The Judge,
in the absence of M. de Tilley, did the
honors with grace and affibility, and lis
tened with emotion to the recital of the
"unhappy life of Mme. la Comtesse."
The vitrioleuse was gratified with a title
to which, it seems, she has no claim
whatever. For the poor girl whom she
has ruined for life, the courteous magis
trate could find no terms too strong to
express his horror and disgust.
It is all over now; Mme. de Tilley has
gone back to her family, and will proba
bly bring her brutal husband once more
into the fold, as the next dose may be for
him, and it does not make much differ
ence what eventually becomes of the
"fillo Marcheal" who will not utterly
aire to death on the interest of her
20,000 francs, bnt the incident has had
the effect to open the eyes of French
jurors to the peril toward which they
were drifting through maudlin sympa
thy. Trees as Weather Frophets.
It is a matter of common observance.
says the Oswego (N. Y.) Timet, that
trees and their branches fail during the
prevalence of storms and from perfectly
obvious reasons. But close observers
among those familiar with the woods,
will tell you that oftentimes these things
occur just before a severe storm, and are
the sign or forerunner of its approach.
The phenomenon , was witnessed by a
farmer of Oswego town, while on his
way last Sunday to attend divine service
at the Thompson school house, who ob
served a large limb break and fall off
from a tree by the roadside. There
was no wind stirring at the
time, and no apparent cause for the phe
nomenon. He says he made up his mind
that a severe storm was close at hand.
He recalled the circumstances at Hanni
bal a year ago, during the camp-meeting
service, when a large beech tree fell
upon the camp-meeting tent, at a time
when, happily, the conprregation was out
side, and only a small child was in the
tent asleep. The child was not only not
injured, but not even awakened, more
was no wind at the time, in fact, the at
mosphere was unusually still. There
was no apparent cause for the fall of the
tree; but a heavy storm followed shortly
after, as Monday's storm succeeded the
intense heat and quiet of the day before.
The falling of the tree and the apparent
almost miraculous escape of the congre
gation were the occasion of much specu
lation, and the incident was quickly
seized and forcibly used by the exhorter
to illustrate the protecting care of
heaven. The farmor of whom we speak
also savs that for many years he has ob
served similar incidents of falling limbs
and trees id the stillness which so gener
ally precedes great storms of rain or

How to Can Cork. In order to can
corn, says the Country Gentleman, boil
the corn on tbe ear a few minutes; then
cut the corn off the ears while as hot as
you can; put the corn into the cans at
ence; have the can almost full, say with
in three-fourths of an men of the top;
then fill the can up with boiling water,
and have the can soldered and pnt into
a kettle of hot water, and let it boil in
the water for six hours. In every six
quarts of corn take one ounce of tartario
acid, dissolved in boiling water. Cat
the corn from the cob and put into a
sufficient quantity of water to cook.
When the corn is smoking put the acid
in. When done, seal airtight in tin cans
or glass jars. To prepare for the table,
pour off the sour water and save it; put
in enough fresh water to cook it; for
every quart of corn add one teaspoonful
of soda; let it stand a few minutes be
fore cooking. While cooking put in a
teaspoonful of sugar. If the corn turns
yellow there is too much soda; pour
back some of the sour water until it
turns white again. When nearly done,
season with salt, cream and butter, same
as fresh corn. Dissolve one and a quar
ter, ounces of tartario acid in one-half
pint of water; cut the corn from the cob
and cook it properly; when cooked, add
two tablespoonf uls of tne acid solution
to every quart of corn; can and seal se
curely and set in a cool, dry place. When
wanted for use. stir half a teaspoonful
of soda into two quarts of corn, and let
it stand three nours before cooking.
This removes all add from the corn.

Handle Daisy Stock Carefcixt.
Mr. Purcell, m the report of the New
Jersey Agricultural Society, says: "It is
important that dairy stock from the
young calf to the old cow that is being
led lor beei, siiould be handled 'and
treated kindly. If a calf is handled
roughly and becomes wild and vicious
thereby, when it becomes a cow you may
expect the same, ' but if handled care
fully and treated with kindness, when
grown up sho will be mild and gentle.
It may not always be so, but in general
it is. There have been many cows spoil
ed by tne person baving, the care cf and
milking them when-eveer they come in
his way, or if when milking a cow hoists
her foot or kicks (which ia generally
caused by pain), such a fellow stops
milking and commences whipping, or,
worse kicking the cow and she becomes
enraged, boids up her milk, kicks back,
and is finally ruined. Never whip a cow
for kicking, if she does kick the milk
pail out of your hand and sometimes
upset and knock you. but be kind and
gentle with her, and milk her out with as
little excitement as possible, and if she
gets over her kicking propensity it will
be by mild and not by harsh treatment.
Never whip a cow becanso she kicks, for
it win ao no good, but will do a great deal
of harm."
Hints to the CosscMPTrvK. The diet
of the consumptive, says a writer in an
English medical paper, should be simple
and nutritious ; very strict rules as to
special articles are uncalled for, unless
the stomach should have exhibited signs
of imperfect power. Meat should be
taken once or twice a day, with a good
allowance of fat. Fish is nutritious, es
pecially oysters. Milk is very nourish
ing, and two or three pints may be taken
in the course of tbe day. At the hospit
al for consumption at Brompton, many
of the patients have a glass of rum and
milk the first thing iu the morning be
fore breakfast, to help them dress, and
undoubtedly it often does good. Asses'
milk may be taken when ordinary milk
disagrees. Another favorite prescription
is fat bacon for breakfast. Sugar is very
fatening, and there is no objection to
taking it even in considerable quantities.
A moderate allowance of wine or spirits
is advisable, but it should be taken with
caution when it flushes the face or quick
ens the pnlso.
