In no one department of farm economy baa been so much interest manifested within the last few years, as in the re cent application of better methods and appliances for this special purpose. The old traditional dry house had so long been turning out an insipid and low priced article npon onr markets, that it is even yet difficult to dispel the notions entertained by many in regard to the product of the modern evaporator. Be tween the old driers, ovens and the sun, our markets have been overstTcked with unsavory dried frnite, the price of which is becoming more and more depressed, making it an unprofitable business for the producer, and unsatisfactory to he consumer. The demand for evaporated fruits of all kinds has more than kept pace with the production, and prices have steadily advanced as the supply has opened up new markets, gainiug in general favor, and entering into consumption as a wholesome article of food, instead "of a luxury. Consumers have learned that it is cheap even at current prices, compared with fruit put up in cans. Any one can make the experiment by buying a pack age of canned fruit, and its equivalent in cost in evaporated fruits, and then at tempt to put the latter after soaking in water eight or ten hours into the empty can. The saving of "cost in cans, jars and freight will then also - be apparent. In properly evaporated fruits there is no loss except water; in fact, the pneumatic evaporating process is a ripening pro cess, ana improves tne quality of the product. The manufacture of evaporated fruit, at the prices realized throughout the past year and up to this time, invites the closest investigation at the hands of or chardists. The business is s now recog nized as a legitimate industry. The farmer and fruit-Krower cannot onlr compete with the large stock companies in ine quality of their product, t ut they can profitably undersell their more pre tentious rivals. While comparatively few are engaged in the manufacture of the best article, many are still making the common dried fruit for which there is no profitable market. There are great quantities of apples and peaches, too, that are specked only "skin deep," but yet enough to damage their sale in barrels fresh, that after the skin is taken off are equal to the best, and too, if wormy or bruised some, yet enough to hurt their sale as fresh fruit, by a little trimming cutting out the bruised and wormy parts are as good as the best, and thus used are saved to the grower. : Pears, cherries, plums, rasp berries, blackberries, and in fact, hun dreds of thousands of bushels of dif ferent kinds of fruit that are now going to waste or bring but little in certain lo calities, can be saved by evaporation. This evaporated fruit when used is as fine as fresh green fruit, and no person can tell the difference in pies or sauce msde from it and fresh apples. And as to the' saviug to the consumer, a few figures will show, suppose a person in Kansas or Idaho wishes to order apples for use in his family. He pays (includ ing freight) from $4 to $5 per barrel laid down at his door. A barrel of the fruit will make about 15 to 20 pounds of evap orated fruit say 10 pounds which laid down at his door costs him from $2 50 to $2 75, saying nothing of the risk of the fresh fruit roitiDg or being badly bruised or damaged by carriage, aud the neces sity of using up fresh fruit at once, while the evaporated fruit can be kept for a long time. Fruit Recorder. A Petrified YTouiau. There are lots of rare things in Ohio that have not been dreamed of in your philosophy. Ohio has the President, his successor the Chief Justice, General of the Army, Secretary of the Treasury, Minister to France, and other honors too numerons to mention, and now, down at Quincy, Shelby county, in that State, a petrified woman has been discovered. She is no Cardiff giant, but a Mrs. Kelli 8on, who used to livo in Illinois. Five years ago at the age ef seventy she vis ited her son, who in duty bound gave a bountiful dinner in honor of the event. He says that his mother ate very heartily, so much so in fact that the next day she was taken suddenly ill, and after a few hours illness died. Mr. Kellison, who is an intellitent farmer, had his mother buried in a "limestone gravelly" knoll on his farm. Recently on selling the farm he was compelled to remove her remains, when it was discovered that the body had turned to stone, and it took a dozen men with ropes and pulley to drag the re mains from the grave. The old lady was 70 years of age, in good flesh and weighed about 130 pounds when she died.. When exhumed the petrifaction was perfect, and the only part of . her body lacking is a small portion of the left ala of the naae. The weight of the body is now estimated by good judges to be at least 1,000 pounds. The remains have been laid away in Prospect Grave yard, Quincy, Ohio, where they now are, but Mr. Kellison promised thorn to a scientific gentleman, who intends to pre sent them to one of the medical muse ums of the State.

Ocarina; House Trmnaaetions. New Yokk, Nov. 3. The Publie gives the following table of clearing house ex change transactions for the week as com pared with the same week last yean New York has lost 9.3 per cent, Boston, 4.4; Philadelphia, 10.8; Baltimore, 12.1; San Francisco, 31.7; Milwaukee, 2:1.2, Kansas City, 17.7; Cleveland, 8.8. The following have gained: Chicago, 8.1; Cincinnati, 22.1; St. Louis, 14.8; New Orleans, 22.4; Pittsburg, 48.1; Louisville, 21.5; Provi dence; 27.4; Indianapolis, 37.7; New Haven 18; Lowell, 35.4; Syracnse, 23.1. The Pub lic comments thus: Public attention in all parts of the country has been so en grossed bj the political eontest that bus iness has been comparatively inactive during the last week and has certainly been considerably affected during the month. While speculation in stocks has been active, at times assuming unusual proportions, the other exchanges have not been materially lamer than they were in October 79. The fact that they have been so large in spile of the political ex citement that they compare not unfavor ably with tne moat active months last year, notwithstanding some decline in prices show a remarkable volume of bus iness and gives reasons to believe that the removal of political uncertainties must be followed by a period of great prosperity. In one respect the business of October 1S&0 has been much more sat isfactory than that of October 1870. Then a large proportion of transactions were speculative,' prompted by an unusual ad vance in prices. The collapse of specula tion came speedily and then it t ecaine apparent that much of the steraing in crease in business has been unwholesome and temporary. This year there has been but little speculative excitement except in stocks, and the demand for com modi ties and the prices of them have not been so affected as to mischievously disturb the natural relations of supply and de mand. In short, business seerps to be much more healthy thnn it was one year ago, and the volume of busiueaa nhich is strictly legitimate and healthy in charac ter is much larger. A Crasy VrcaK Cleveland, Nov. 3. Yesterday a bright boy four years old, was found lying near the railway track on the Lake Shore road, his head between two stones and a heavy railway tie across his neck, holding him down. When discovered he was black in the face, nearly dead and uuabie to walk or talk. Subsequently ho was re vived and told a remarkable story that he was induced by a woman who lived near to co to the lake on the promise of candy. On the way she took from him a hoop, saying, "he would never roll the hoop again." At the lake the woman endeav ored to persuade him to get into a boat, but pe refused Decauso mere was water iu the bottom and he was afraid of a whipping if his clothes got wet. The woman uien took lum to the place where he was afterwards iound, threw him on the ground and placed the tie across his neck and left him to perish. It was learned that the woman was insane and had escaped from home.

An evening paper hss the fol lowing: A Washington special reported the loss of Bennett's sretic exploring steamer Jesnnette, with all on board, telegraphed from Han Francisco. It is doubted here. It is explslued thst in October 1H79 two New Bedford whalers, the Vigilant and the Mount Wollaston, with 40 men on board of each, were caught in pack ice to the south-westward of Herald island, since which time neither vessels " nor any traces of them have been reported seen by anybody. The whalers were not constructed nor equipped for wintering in the arctic, snd no donbt exists in the minds of other whaling captains that the two vessels snd their crews were destroyed absolutely. The remains of the men or part of the missing whalers, as seen by Esquimaux, might readily be mistaken portions of the Jeannette or her crew. Cspt. Hooper, of the revenue steamer &rwin, does not believe the iean nette is lost, ss she was powerfully built, with a special view to ice pressure, aud so modeled that it was expected the pack would raise her ont of the wster rether than crush her, - For these, among other reasons, hope is entertained that the Jeannette people will yet twine out of the arctic in safety.

"U ' 'hi. sW.'BSM.J Independent in all Things; Neutral THE BKOKEX DOLLAR. The queenly moon rode majestically through the unclouded heavens, and flooded the Pequea valley with h mel low rays. At Farmer Hoskins' gate Btood Gerald Dean and Nellie- Hoskins her white hand clasped in his bidding fare well to one another, for on the morrow Gerald departs for the land of the setting sun, like thousands who bad gone before him to seek the golden fortune antici pated by many and obtained by few, Gerald had come to the valley several years before and found employment with a neighboring Itarmer, Mr. Bell. Ouce the petted child of fortune he had rV' eledinits delights and experienced its advantages. He had been educated at the first institutions of the common wealth, and was fitted for any sphere his inclinations might have chosen, had his Health been good. It generally so hap pens tuat witn tne brightest minds is coupled ill health and vice versa. Gerald's father met with a series of losses by unfortunate ventures which so wrecked his physical constitution that in a few short months he died, leaving his wile and ueraid in a penurious condi tion. Gerald at once procured a lnora tive position iu the wholesale house of a friend, and managed by economy to sup port nimseii and widowed mother. She had been an invalid nearly all her life. and when the sudden reverse of fortune swept from her the luxurious home and a kind, indulgent husband, her life joys were gone, and in a short period, Gerald was called upon to follow to the grave "his dearest friend on earth." Thus be ing left alone in the world, an orphan and without immediate relatives he was obliged to seek, unaided, the commou living she owes us all. For a while he continued in his occupation in the whole sale house, and rapidly won promotion. He was obliged to relinquish it, how ever, on account of his failing health, and resort, according to his physician's advice, to the pure, free air afforded bv the occupation of a farmer. He did not have an estate over which he could roam at will, and work or play when he chose. Therefore he soucht employment iu the beautiful valley above mentioned with farmer Hell, who, being kind and of a good nature, assisted Gerald by employ ing him and teaching him the simplest rudiments of a farmer's occupation. Gerald devoted himself to the work, and in a short time with renewed health be came a practical hand. Unwilling to de sert the farm for city life, he remained with Mr. Bell. About this time Nellie Hoskins re turned from boarding school whither she had been for four years, an accomplished miss, bue wes a sensible girl and bad not been led into the vanities so often found among the inmates of such institutions.- Her father's farm lying next to Mr. Bell's, she often visited the latter's daughter and consequently met Gerrald, who occupied the position of an equal in farmer Bell's family. She very soon discerned far more in Gerrald than in the average farm hand, and learning his antecedent Jiistory, esteemed him for the noble purpose that actuated him to carve out for himself a noble future. Gerald was a frequent visitor of the Hoskins farm and quite an intimacy sprung up between himself and Nellie, which unconsciously and unerringly. ripened into the deeper passion of love. So the days rolled into weeks and the weeks into months which soon formed two years. The brightest and happiest davs of their lives were fleeing away, the deep winter shades giving place to the warm rays of spring. Then it was that Gerald determined to crown his happiness by asking Nellio to share with him life s joys and sorrows, whatever his future fortune might have in store for him. Need we say that Nellie answered him in the affirmative, but like all her sex coyly referred him to papa. Mr. Hoskins was absent on business and did not return for a week. However, upon his return Gerald sought an interview and made known his errand. "What provision have you made for the future? Do you think you would be able to furnish Nellie with all the con veniences of life and not discommode her any by taking her from the home she now possesses?" Mr. Hoskins said. Mr. Hoskins, I am not wealthy," said Gerald; "I have a small bank ac count and good health, a willing heart and hands; with them I fear not the future." "There, my friend, I admire you for your frankness, but by no means can I trust my daughter to such precarious circumstances. When you can produce the evidence of a fair competence one that would place you beyond the day toil of a farm hand you can address me for her hand, provided Bhe is of the same mind, as now. Trusting you will be successf ul,I extend you my best wishes," and calling Nellie to entertain our friend, Mr. Hoskins betook himself to his library. Gerald in a few words acquaints Nellie with her father's decission and prepares to take his departure. They pass out to the verandah, thence to the gate, where they linger a few moments over their farewell Nellie thinking it was the same as usual until Gerald at tho last moments tells ber that on the morrow he will leave for California to delve among the gold fields for the "fair competence'' which is so necessasy to make two lives happy. "Then, Gerald, if indeed you think you can better your circumstances by going you carry with you my earnest de sires for your success. You can be as sured that my love accompanies you as well, and each missive from you treas ured." "Thanks, dear Nell, your love shall be the prize for which I am to struggle, and when fortune smiles upon me in the Occident, the goal of my ambition reached, I will return and claim you as my wife." Nellie was unable to bear the sad words of parting, and had it not been for the strong arms of Gerald, would have sank; to the earth. - With her shapely head resting on his bosom for the last time perhaps to him there seemed no fairer picture. As they stood there in silence, the memory of happy days floated before them, not dimly, but iu bright relief, tinged by the mellow light of the pure love that had lent its charm. It was as a beautiful dream reaching its conclusion. Each was too full for utterance. At last tha spell was broken, it seemed by that tie- termination which was the character of Gerald's impulsive nature. Stooping, he pressed a passionate kiss upon her brow and said: y ' "Nellie, before I depart take this souvenirt that yon mty possess something upon which your anticipation of my re turn may rest. : It is the half of a broken dollar, the counterpart of -ahich I pos sess.

If the piece which I take with me comes to your presence save than br soy hand, then General Dean wjU never come. Farewell, love, and Gerald gave the little hand, that laid within his own, a somewhat harder presouro than usual. Farewell waa a hard word for Nellie to say, but it passed between her lips me chanically, aud the next moment Gerald Dean "a form had passed out of the gate and onward to the meadow" path. She watched him till he was hidden by a rise "'-n turned to 'pi into p a aligu tua- JlftWauscA in Nothing." her to turn. She saw nothing, and uuuumueu h was Dut a freak of lmagi nation. The time passed slowly with Nellie. .and lor a year Gerald's letters came ev ery two weeks with great regularity, and were as punctually answered. Then they came once a month, and so on until at the end of two years they ceased, with an occasional stray missive, inscribed in a scrawling nanu, tne opposite of Ger aid's plain, bold character.

His business nros. pered nnusually for a year or two, and then, by heavy drains, suffered a relapse, gradually sinking lower and lower until the panic cloud of 1857 hung upon the nnancioi and commercial horizon. Nellie seemed to take an unusual in' terest in her father's business. During uer resilience at 1j she bad made many acquaintances, among them being that of Leroy Fay, a wealthy young man, and withal the man whom her father de sired her, to marry. The reason was obvious. Fav'a wealth would be a powerful mainstay to tha rapidly failing business of Mr. Hoskins. Nellie did not care an iota for Leroy Fay, for to one the memory of seven long years had not obliterated, she had given her first pure leve. Mr. Hoskins and Leroy both urged the latter's suit, but Nellie was firm and intimated that bo argument or no consideration would induce her to marry Leroy Fay. Here waa au obstruction which Mr. Hoskins had not anticipated when he promised Leroy his daughter's hand in return for the golden eagles he had re ceived irom mm. Fay became importunate and insisted upon a speedy marriage, to which Mr. Hoskins assented, and the nuptial day waa appointed without Nellie's con sent. Preparations were made on the most magnificent scale; guests invited from at home and among Leroy's friends and relatives abroad. Jt was a theme of conversation at the clubs and at all the fashionable afternoon gatherings. This state of thing continued the dav before the wedding when the citv of was astonished by the revelation that Nellie Boskins was missing. Search was immediately instituted, and the most experienced detectives tried in vain to discover her whereabouts. Leroy Fay believed Mr. Hoskins was tricking him and was in full sympathy witu nis aauguter, ana therefore ijeroy Fay informed Mr. Hoskins that the re turn of the money he loaned him was necessary. If the money was not forth coming in five days he would institute proceedings which would have thrown Mr. Hoskins in the abyss of financial rum. Every resource was looked into carefully and nowhere could Mr. Hoskins see a loop hole of safety. His last Win was the bank. On the morning of the last dav he called there to negotiage a loan, and was handed a packet by the cashier. Mr. Hoskins opened it and discovered more than fifty crisp, new bank notes of the denomination of a hundred dollars. Across the face of the uppermost was written in Iarite bold characters, the fol lowing legend : This is but a small part of a fair com petence you demanded that I shoul pos sess seven years ago. in this, your di lemna, use it. Gerald Dean. Gerald Dean had returned, and send ing the half of the souvenir to Nellie, she joyfully appointed a place of meet ing and informed him of her father's circumstances. Gerald immediately de-1 posited the money, and coming back to Nellie, they went to the nearest clergy man, aud were married. They then im- mediately left for a wedding tour, de- termined to ask repentance when they j returned. I Mr. Hoskins was much delighted. j A Singular Case. There died on Tuesday last at Bay view ; Asylum one of the most singular persons that has ever lived a femalo with a woman's head and the body and arms of a child. Visitors to Bayview have noticed this singular case, and it has at- ' tracted largely the attention of medical men. Her name was Katie Doshields. She waa received in the old County Alms House in 1832, with her mother. The latter died of the cholera, and the child has been cared for ever since by the city. On the separation of the county- and city and the erection of Bayview Asylum for the city poor, Katie was removed to the latter place. During all the time she has been, in the institution her head has grown with each day and year, until it became the head of a woman, bnt below the neck nature was at a standstill. She occupied to the day of her death the child's chair she occupied iu 1832, when three years old, and slept in the same cradle. Her arms and hands were beautiful, and she would show them with great pride to each visitor. This vanity was about the only womanly trait she exhibited, and, with the exception of. being alive to re marks complimentary to the whiteness and perfection of her hands and arms, sho seemed to be insensible to all else passing around her. This singular crea ture was subject to epilepsy, and this is what caused her: wonderful condition. She ate and slept well and seemed in her usual health up t fifteen minutes before her death, when she was seized with an epileptic fit,' from which she never re covered. Katie was 48 years of age at the time of her death. Forty-live of these she was cared for: at the County Alms house and Bayview Asylum, and it is perhaps attributable to the care and treatment she received in those institu tions that she has survived so long.

I must confess that she has rather an attractive face, with her large hazel eyes and that psofnsion of red-brown hair, although her nose isn't quite Grecian, and tha lines of her mouth are just a trifle out of drawing." " "Hnmphl" said old Solomon Gilsey, the engineer. "She's been made much of, Kitty Kelsey has, nntil. she's just spoiled. And " But here Kelsey herself came saucily up to tne foreman a desje. "Mr. Fay son, said she. tossing the cloud of red-gold hair that huag over her dimpled face, "for I suppose you are Mr. i'ayson ? At your service, said the young man with commendable gravity. "My machine doesn t suit me. X wish you would please have it changed for another. "Doesn't suit you?" -he repeated. slowly. "No, said Miss Kitty, straightening out the bow of ribbon at her belt. "Is it the custom at Mellendale to change machines at the beck and call of every dissatisfied damsel?" he asked, still without a change of countenance. My machine is always changed when ever. I ask for it," said Kitty Kesley, noncholently. "Suppose you try and make it do. "said Mr. Payson. "I dare say the torn of a screw here, or the altercation of a ten sion there, will make it all right." John son to the packer, "bring me that list of boxes that are to be sent off this morning." Miss Kesley stood in indignant sur prise at this politely cavalier treatment, i he, the spoiled beauty, the petted - fa vorite of the whole establishment, whose every whim had been humored, whose caprices indulged, to be told to try and make things do! 'ion will not change it? said she. coloring very red. It is quite contrary to my rules, said Mr. Payson. "That is right, Johnson. And now I will look over the list with you." Miss Kitty went back to her seat in a genuine passion. It was Anson fayson s first day in the Mellendale Factory, and of course it proved rather a fatiguing one. The morning, bleak and cloudy, had settled down into a good old-fashioned snow storm, before the afternoon; and when at last the throb of the engines had ceased, the whiz of the numberless ma chines was still, and the flocks of girls had disappeared one by one. Mr. Pay son locked the desk, pocketed the keys, and also sailed forth into the snowy twilight of the November night. . But unaccustomed as he was to the Mellendale roads and their windings, he soon became disagreeably aware that he somehow had missed the way. "They told me to turn off at an old Btone mill," he further pondered. "but I have seen no stone mill; nor any finger post. I do believe," standing stilt, and trying to peer through the white wilderness of flying tnowflake, that I am destined to be a modern Babe in the Woods. And the worst of it all is that there are such a number of awkward precipices along the edge of this woody road, where one might walk off, in this half light, and never know how he came to his end Stay ! luckily there is a red light gleaming thro' the darkness. It must come from some farmhouse window. and I am saved from my doom. But as Anson fayson knocked at the door of the little one-story dwelling, he felt that he was very weary, with hands and feet numbed. from the biting blast, and garments wet through by the damp and penetrating snow. The opening oi tne aoor reveaiea a cheerful little interior, which would do no discredit to the penoil of a Dutch art ist a blaze of pine logs on the hearth, a candle burning in its brass sconce, a red and blue rag carpet on the floor ,.a round cherry table set out for supper, and a huge grey cat purring cosily on tne hearthstone. A tall, white-haired old man opened the door to him, and welcomed him after a cheery unconventional fashion. "Come in, stranger, come i l said the old man. "Well, I declare, you have got wet, hain't ye? Step right up to the fire. Here's a seat. I don't seem to reckonise ye not just by sight though I've lived forty odd years here about. You are ' "I am Mr. Payson, of the Mallendale Works," said our hero, with a sigh of satisfaction, as he expanded his chilled hands to the delicious warmth of the firelight penetrating his whole frame. "Do tell!" said the old man, who had by this time swung a huge iron tea kettle to a crane over the fire "I've got a grandanghter who runs a ma chine there. And you're a new fore man? Board at 'Squire Ameses, don't ye ? Well, you're a good two mile out of your way. You'd ought to took the fust-right-hand road, by John Millerbrook's stone mill, and then the fust left hand, runnin where the Widow Fitch's tavern is.

She's work in' dretf ul hard for a new cashmere gown for Thanksgiven; and when tha taxes is paid, and the interest on the mortgage and--":,". . At this stage of his remarks, the voice of Mr. Payson's host became inaudible, by means of his slow descent down the cellar stairs, with the brass candlestick in his hand; and the new foreman was alone with the purring gray cat, and the red shine of the flames, and the deep shadows at every angle of the room. "Well, grandfather, did you think I was never coming?" The door had opened suddenly, and admitted a gust of frozen air, a cloud of flying snow flakes, and as a girl all muf fled up in hoods and shawls. "I stopped at Mollie Dean's for a pat tern," said she, "and of course we bad to talk a little. Oh, grandfather!" with a merry laugh, as she sat down oa the floor to pull off her rubber shoes, "I've seen the new foreman and he's as hand some as a picture, and as cross as two sticks, Hateful fellow) Only think, of his refusing to change my machine for me! But Til be revenged on him, grandpa. Mollie and I have concocted a royal plan; and I'm going to bewitch him, and wind him around my finger, and make him fall desperately iu lore with me; and then I shall refuse him haughtily, and-w,Why, who is that?" She sprang to her feet with a little cry of terror, for while Mr. Payson had sat bewildered in the vague shadows by the fireside, and she had rattled on, old Moses Kesley had finished his errand ia the cellar aud now came slowly up the stairway, the candle light shinning ia front of him like a beacoa. "There aha is now!" aaid he, "my little Kitty, Well, my gal, supper's most ready, and here's a good chance for you to Scrape aeqaaintaat with the new foreman.

I dare say I shall find it very agreeable. - . - Kitty Kesley could sot help laughing in spite of herself. u Well, I suppose it's just as well to make the best of it," said she, "and we'll proclaim an honorable truce, Mr, Fay son, for the present at least." Kitty waa charming all the evening-. full of vivacious spirit and arch chatter; but Mr. Payson did not know that ahe cried herself to sleep that night with the bitterest tears she ever had shed. "What must he think of me?" said the factory belle to herself. "How did I ever ever come to make such a dread ful blunder ?" J ' While Mr. Payson was saying over and ever to himself , aa he drifted off into dreamland. "bhe is the most charming girl I ever met in my life!". And, at tha years end, Kitty Kesley ten the Mellendale Works to marry its foreman, and keep House in a pictur esque little stone cottage on the edge of tne ravine. 'Didn't I tell von Td do it? said Kitty, saucily. . " ion said you would reinse me haughtily." said Payson. "Oh," laughed Kitty. I concluded I would change my mind about that! But all the rest has come true now hasn't it?' And Mr. Payson confessed that it had. Extremely Sileat." : The vcracioas Washington corre spondent informs that portion of the American people whose wretched fate it is to live elsewhere than in the National capital, that a genuine aristocratic society is at last in process of evolution in that city. It is known as the extremely select so cial circle of the army and nary, and it has attained to the dignity ot one distinguishing characteristic. Among the young women who move in this select circle it is considered highly improper to attend a concert or the ater, even with one's . betrothed, without the cbaperonage of mamma or a maiden aunt. A ride alone, or even a call, without the presence of a third person, is not to be thought of or spoken of without a shudder. All that sort ot thing is held as in bad form, vulgar, American and far nlertor to the social code of decorum practiced in Spain and Turkey. One young lady whose mamma was too il to go to the play, violated the rule and consented to go alone witq tha man to whom she was engaged; and speaking of it afterward, she said: "I suffered intense agony all evening for fear we should meet somebody I knew, and I never felt bo common in all my life." Tho next time that young lady's fiance asks her to accompany him to the opera she will probably rcplv; "If I. be longed to the common people; if my father or brother simply made laws for the community or superintended the commercial intercourse of na tions or directed the financial ex changes of the world. I should be most huppy to accompany yon; but, seeing that a member of my family has dedicated himself to the de struction of mankind and kills such people as those iu power happen to think should be slain, I must request you to buy another ticket for my old maiden aunt" - Already Fnnlsbed.
