found me alone in the rose arbor. "The

Zwm sitting there alone, dreaming of
him, and Of the time when all waiting
would be at an end. Suddonly, a sha
dow fell before me, and looking up, I
saw him standing in the door.
"Well, Miss Lura," he said, lightly,
are you dreaming here alone in the twilight?",-
- I answered him carelessly, my heart
throbbing painfully, for I felt that there
was a chance in Lis manner. Ha sat for '

not one tender word or caress had I re

"I forgot to tell you, Miss Lura," he
said, pausing at the door, "that I came
to say good-by."
My hand trembled and grew cold in
his. . j
"And before going," he continued, "I
wished to thank you for your kindness to
me this summer it is so lonely here, I
don't know what I would have done
without you! It is scarcely probable
that we will ever meet again, yet be as
sured that wherever I go the remem
brance of this quaint old village and my
dear little brown-eyed friend will go
with me! May God bless you!",
And then he stooped and touched his
lips to my hand and left me, and without
a word or cry I dropped to the ground,
and lay there in the long, wet grass,
with the dew about me falling, and the
cold stars coming out in the heavens to
laugh at my grief !
And there I lay all night long, my
hands pressed to my head, and dry, tear
less moans escaping my lips my parents
thought I was in bed and in the early
morning, Mr. Ashley, the new minister,
in passing, heard my moan, and carried
me up to the house.
His sister, Cora, hss been here all the

and kind as she is beautiful.
I am sitting up, to-dav, for the first

month since my last letter, and I'm not

P. S. Don't say anything down here

Tne Qimi and Mr. Gladstone-
If it be true, as we read in London
correspondence of a New York
paper, that Mr. Gladstone snubbed
his Queen when she made of him a
demand for an increase of the salary
of the Prince of Wales, the fact will
lift the old Premier in the estimation
of every fair-minded man. We read
the other day that the Prince had
won $25,000 on a horse race. It is a
fashion of betting men to permit
me woria to near of their winnings.
dui tney are carelnl to conceal their
losses. This race in which Wales
Von was not the first be ever bet at;
and it is only fair to supposo that ho,
tine oincr sporunir men. uas con
cealed bis losses. This is the more
fair when we reflect that without
gambling and without indulging in
other vices, it would bo impossible
for tho Prineo of Wales to spend his
income. He receives in round num
bers $000,000 per annum, $50,000 nor
month, or, excluding Sundays, just
about $2,000 per day. His house
rent and traveling expenses cost him
nothing; his gifts in charity do not
average two thousand dollars por
month; ho has no old mother or lit
tle sisters to support. The Question
is simply whether the poor of Great
Britain should be taxed to pay for
the vices of a dissolute Prince. "If
Gladstone has had tho strength.
firmness and sense of justice sufficient
to negative tho request of bis sover
eign, why, thoD, he is worthy to bo
Premier ot the foremost Empire ou
earth. That Victoria should prefer
such a request is a fearful satire on
royalty, for it shows that to the Em
press of India, even as to tho rag
picker, as tho nobler faculties are
failing with ae, avarice, tho first in
stinct which reveals itself in tho in
fant, has returned and has com
menced to rule old asto. Tho
majesty of royalty cannot frown
down this vice. Though possessing
millions which she can norer use, j
though bailed as sovereign of tho
mightiest nation that over existed,
this old woman loves money so much
that she will not save her son from
disgraee by paying bis debts, and,
worse still, she would tax England
which has been so frencrous to her
and her's to meet the gambling debts
of a loose Prince. The showing is
not a dignified one for either the
Queen or the Prince, bat old man
Gladstone shines in a magnified lisht
in the interview.
Ma. Thomas IIuqhes says the only
annoying circumstance connected
with bis Tennessee colony thus far,
was tho presence of two Temiessee-
ans who squatted on a piece of
ground the title of which was so in
volved that it could not be pur
chased, and opened a liquor saloon.
They could not be driven away until
lw Indiana ladies started a school
next door, when in accordance with
the State laws the saloon .keepers
were oougea to move. -
Sympathy comes near and speaks low.
It does not shout through a tin trum
pet and hail a mourner from the top of
a passing omnibus.
BEOS IS BEAUTY.
Ok by one the beautiful traditions
that have from time immemorial hung a
wierd sort of romance about savage life
in the wilderness disappear before the
ruthless pencil of the invading reporter,
and the teles of Cooper and the rythm of
Longfellow are thereby left to stand
Pn ""Sir pure literary merits, unsup-
ported entirely by facta. The last occa-
sion furnished for sweeping away the
coDweDs oi fancy and leaving exposed
the bare and unsightly realities of In
dian life and character was the grand
potlatch, which took place on Squaxon
Island about ten miles from the head of
Budd's Inlet, last week. General Mil
roy, Indian Agent on the Squaxon Res
ervation, having perhaps, as all Agents
have, a pride in the noble wards of the
Government under his care, resolved that
His Excellency Governor Newell, should
have a chance to see these in their true
glory and accordingly arranged for an
excursion from Olympia to Squaxon is
land by the steamer Zephyr on Saturday
the 6th inst., and invited the Governor
and his daughters to accompany the
party. The ruthless reporter aforesaid
was of course one of the number and we
subjoin some of the facts concerning the
Indians as they appear in every day life.
fbom this sobwmk io the mdicclocs.
o allusion to the habits and customs of
aboriginal life would be complete with-
out some reference to either Cooper or
Longfellow, but to quote from either
author anything which would apply to
the miserable remnant of a degenerate
race, without making that undignified
summersault indicated in the sub
heading, would be simply impossible.
We reproduce from the "Song of Hia
watha" the few Hues which may be made,
in the most charitable spirit, to serve our
purpose:

The wigwam, the pine-trees and the
Big-Sea-Water, were all spread out be
fore us in delightful panorama, but we
could not discover in the motley group
of human beings and quadrupeds which
assembled at our approach any semblance
of the beautiful Nakomis, or the lily-like
form of Winona. If even the old arrow-maker
was there he did not show
himself. The first object of interest vis
ited was the
"POTLATCH HOUSE,"
A large lodge or wigwam, about forty
feet wide and probably 150 feet in
length. It consists of a rude but mas
sive frame-work of trees, the sides cov
ered with shakes, the roof being sup
ported by slendar saplings without any
intermediate support of collar-beam or
truss. A portion of the roof, along the
combing, has been left open to allow the
egress of smoke, but it very inadequately
served the purpose, for the eyes of visi
tors continually ached from the preva
lence Of the dense vapor which arose
from a score or more of fires, on which
was stewing, in pots and kettles of all
shapes and sizes, the noon -day meal.
Around the lodge, on au elevated plat
form about four feet wide, running its
whole length, sat or reclined the women
and children, in all the grotesque, not to
say picturesqne, attitudes imaginable.
Here a comely squaw, clad in the faded,
cost-off garments of some one of her
aristocratic white sisters, sat knitting or
sewing; there an ancient dame, clod in
rags and filth, patiently watching and
stirring the boiling caldrons of peas and
wheat , the sole course of the meal soon
to follow. Near the entrance sat a
pleasant-faced klotchman making
bread. Her manner was peculiar.
The flour was first moistened and stirred
in a pitcher, and then' poured into a pan,
when it was kneeded just enough to give
it the shape of flat loaves, which were
placed in a fry-pan and inclined to the
blazing fire. The loaves appeared after
baking still flat and decidedly soggy. In
another part of the wigwam he saw
loaves which would have been admitted
for competition at our Territorial Fair,
but upon inquiry we ascertained they
were baked in the oven of that innovation
upon savage custom, a cook stove, and
probably this was the one thing needful
to have mode all their pastry as inviting.
There were possibly 150 women and chil
dren LOUNGING ON THE PLATFORMS,
Which served the purpose likewise of
beds at night. Under them and on the
girders overhead, were Btored flour, pota
toes and frnit; a freshly slaughtered car
cass of beef being an extra tid bit laid
away for the crowning ceremonies when
the Potlatch began. Salmon were like
wise a conspicuous article of diet not
the dainty, delicate flavored fish of com
merce, but the blotch skinned, lean dog
salmon and many of these fish, impaled
on sticks, slowly roasted before the fires.
THE BRAVES AT DINNER.
The pots were taken from the fires,
where their contents had been simmer
ing all day long, and ranged in a line
the entire length1 of the lodge. This
brought them about five feet apart.
Strips of matting were then stretched on
either -side, upon which, after much
clamor and a continuous shouting by one
who apparently filled the place of master
of ceremonies, finally knelt two long
lines of dusky savages, prepared for gas
tronomic battle. - Immense spoons, or
ladles, made from wood or horn, were
then distributed, accompanied by small
cedar sticks, the use of which was a
mystery soon solved. Each Siwash im
mediately applied himself to the busi
ness of the moment. Dipping a full la
dle of the steaming soup or stew (of peas
and wheat) from the nearest pot, he
placed the smaller end of the vessel be
tween his teeth aud by the aid of the
stick, shoved the food into his mouth,
just as Chinamen eat rice from
a saucer with the use of chop-sticks.
The capacity of the savage stomach, as
demonstrated by this feast, was some
hing wonderful. We have long known
that it revolts at scarcely any kind of
food, but never before had our eyes be
held the feat of stowing away the largest
possible quantity within a given space, in
so short a period of time! It was won

absorbtion of semi-liquid food, than

presented a straight shnte down cavern
ous throats, without the aid of chop
sticks, but when these are brought into
requisition, there was no halt in the pass
age and the samp disappeared with all
the precision of hashed meat through a
sausage stuffier. A few of the native wo
men knelt with the men, but they were
generally content to sit by silent witnesses
of the extraordinary performances of
their delighted lords.
TOMANAWUS DANCE.
By special request of General Milroy,
the great tomanawus dance was executed..
It appeared to be more ef a devotional,
than a mirthful, character. The braves
form a ring, in the center of which is
placed the tomanawus man of the tribe.
They all then strike tip a monotonous
chant imploring the Ureat Spirit to be
stow all manner of temporal and spirit
ual blessings. It is accompanied by a
stooping, swaying motion of the body,
emphasized by beats of the drum. The
oldest men, leaning on staves for sup
port, engage in this ceremony. Some of
these antiquated specimens are too weak
to undergo the fatigue of the violent
gesticulation, and simply lean on their
supports and nod their heads in perfect
time, with the gravity and precision of
automatons.
THE EVENING SEP AST.
The bill of fare for this meal happened
to be dog-salmon and : potatoes. Long
troughs, made of boards, like those
generally used in pig-styes, were brought
in; a buck then ran his hands into a pot
of boiled salmon and hauling forth a
fish, tore off a huge morsel and placed
it, with an emphatic squish, in the
trough. This allowance was placed at
equal distances apart, and another brave
followed with potatoes, placing one or
two of the boiled vegetables on each
piece of salmon. The troughs were then
arranged in line, and the diners
assembled as at the noon-day meal.- The
hands are used at this meal, but
they were quite as effective as any me
chanical contrivance could have been for
storing away with celerity and dispatch,
many even, of our oldest residents have
never invaded the -
' DOMAINS OF BABBABIO X.IFB,
And may be interested in seeking in
formation without suffering the penance
as all do who obtain knowledge in this
direction from personal inspection. And
to these, as well as to those whose ro
mantic ideas of Indian life are based
upon fiction rather than fact, we com
mend the above. The horrible sight, the
noisome smells and the intolerable dis
cord of inharmonious sounds, will ever
deter those who have once made a visit
of discovery from a repetition of the ex
perience. The Value and Pleasure or Agriculture.
The chief desire of a man or a wo
man should be, first, to be useful ; and
next to be happy. A man's first duty is
to mankind; and the next is to himself;
and the greatest happiness to a good
man is to be of se to and serve his fal
low creatures. In doing this the man
helps himself at the same time. The
production of food and the materials for
clothing, is the business of the farmer.
No other employment can be so useful
M this; and in this lies the value of ag
ncuiture to the world. No other em
ployment is so full of pleasure as
; agriculture, when it is rightly pursued
It is, then, not a laborious work merely
of the hands, but a healthful, pleasant
labor; full of the most agreeable enjoy
ment; because in the work of the garden
and the field, the farmer is brought face
to face with the works and the
beauties of nature ; aud finds, in
the sprouting of seed, the growth
of plants, the maturity and ripening
of vegetation, the growth of his animals,
the delights of the changing seasons,
which bring to him a ceaseless round of

short, a good and successful farmer, in
his daily proctce, becomes acquainted
with many of the wonders of science
which appear to him more clearly than
to any other man, if ho will only take
the trouble to open his eyes, and turn his
mind to the examination of them. It is
a great thing to think of, that the farmer
feeds the world; that of all men ho
is the most important to the comfort,
wealth and happiness of the human race;
that his influence, if it is exerted for good
increases the enjoyment of mankind,
and the result of his work is to
set in motion the wheels of all the facto
ries and locomotives in the world; to fill
the freight cars; to load the ships; to
give employment in one way or another
to every smith and carpenter; to every
miner; to every lawyer and doctor; to
provide in fact for the means of carry
ing on every honorable and profitable in
dustry. . No youth or younor man or
woman can find, a better, happier, more
nooie, or when well-conducted, more
profitable work than that of the farm
It is work; there is no doubt of that,
But the "man who is employed honestly
is the true happy man. It is the idle
and vicious who are unhappy. We are
told by the wisest of men, that "the sleep
of the laboring man is sweet;" and no
one sleeps and rests more sweetly than
the boy or the man who has spent his
day in the corn field, the hay field or at
the plow; or the girl who has done her
share in the dairy, in the care of poultry
in her household duties. I Rural New

Where are the lioys ? ,
"A Sad Observer" writes of the multi
tudes of idle boys, many of them sons of
worthy parents, who are seen loahng
about the country towns boys who are
out at night, and who prefer the street to
the attractions of the most pleasant
homes. There is a great deal about this
subject that is difficult. The serious
difficulty is fonnd at the beginning, that
the training of children is always an ex
periment made without experience. One
mnst live a life to know how to live,
After sons and daughters are grown
character formed, and destiny fore'
shadowed, it is easy for the parents to
look back and discover where they have
erred in their training but it
very difficult, nayf impossible to
human wisdom, to foresee and avoid
those errors. Sometimes a boy who is
carefully and strictly trained will fly off
as soon as that restraint is withdrawn, as
it sooner or later must be, into ways of
dissipation; and hence parents lose faith
in vigorous control. These coses are
however, exceptional. There are a few
general rules- and principles which
should be enforced at whatever cost of
these, first, obedience. JLet commands
be given only when they are necessary
and let them be wisely given, but en
force them. Seoend let it be remem
bered that habit is the ohief force in char
acter. Boys learn to like those things to
which they are habituated. (Jompel

A Sermon on Puhli For Bojs.
When Cousin Will is at home for
vacation, the boys always expect plenty
of fun. The last frolic before he went
back to his studies was a long tramp
after hazlenuts. As they were hurry
mg along in great glee, they came
upon a discouraged looking man, and a
discouraged looking - cart. The cart
was standing before an orchard. The
man was trying to pull it up hill to his
house.
The boys did not wait to be invited,
Dutian to help with a good will
"Pnsh! push!" was the cry.
Ihe man brightened up; the cart
trundled along, and in five minutes
they all Btoed panting at the top of the
Ulll.
"Obliged to ye," said the man; "you
just wait a minute;" and he hurried into
the house, while two or three pink
aproned children peeped out of the
door. .
"Now, boys," said Cousin Will, "this
is a small thing; bnt I wish we could all
take a motto out of it for life, push!" It
is just the word for a grand, clear morn
ing. If anybody is in trouble, and you
see it, don't stand back; push! -
"If there is anything good doing in
any place where you happen to be, push!
"Whenever there's a kind thing, a
Christian thing, a pleasant thing,
whether it is at home, or in town, or at
school, just help with all your might;
pufhl"
At that moment the farmer came up
with nuts and apples; and that was the
end of this little sermon.
The Eg? Question.
In the course of a lecture on "The
Wonders of Nature," Bays an exchange,
a scientific gentleman informed his
auditors that a series of exhaustive in
vestigations had shown him that the
common house-fly lays upwards of 50,
000 eggs in a single season.: Among
those upon whose ears the steep figures
fell was a wide-awake, enterprising Yan
kee, who raised poultry for a living. No
Booner was the leetnre finished than he
made for the platform and eagerly in
quired of the lecturer "whether be
uiougnt it possible to graft a commen )
house-fly on a hen!" V j
Time, one a. k. : "My dear" said he
" salt right; I've been down getting th' 1

Our Hortnera Possessions. !
Alaska, which has heretofore received
out little attention from either explorers
or government, promises in the near fu
ture to develop into a rich and thickly
populated country. Two argonauts who
spent the summer navigating that
largest and most majestio river on earth,
the Yukon, and. exploring the country
along its banks from its mouth to several
hundred miles up stream. The explorers
have returned, and tell wonderful stories
of what they saw, ' Sweeping back from
the banks of the river for miles and
miles were beautiful rolling prairies like
those of Eastern Oregon, whose waving
grasses had never been disturbed by the
foot of man ; stately forests whose
branches sang reqnium to the dead si
lence of nature never broken by the
hand of industry; clear, sparkling
streams leaping from rock to rock just as
merrily as dp those within the bounds of
civilization. In fact, they discovered
A WONDERFUL OOUNtBT,
Which, when further explored, reveal
much more that will be of interest and
of future value." Dr. Dall, of the
United States Coast Survey, together
with Dr. Bean, visited that country for
the purpose of making collections in
natural history, especially of fishes. In
a paper recently read they set forth their
observations as follows: In a general
way the fishes were similar on the Asiat
ic and American sides; but there were
some species only found on one shore.
They found quite a number of Oregon
fish that attained a high latitude, several
found commonly in the market here, es
pecially red cod, which was found a con
siderable distance north of Sitka, in
large quantities, and of a very good
quality.
ALASKAN SALMON.
They secured salmon, not only for
specimens, but they formed a large por
tion of their food during the season.
There are - a great variety of salmon
recognized on the coast of Alaska, and
the question arises in Oregon and Cali
fornia, bow many of these are distinct
species, and how many are to be referred
to the very extraordinary changes which
have taken place in the salmon from the
time of leaving the sea till death ? Very
fejw of them ever return to the sea. In
California and Alaska ho believed the
salmon, almost without exception, die
after depositing their spawn. They
found the; Columbia river salmon ex
tending through a large part of Alaska,
when they! came across a peculiar fish
called the "king" salmon, which attains
an enormous size, reaching one hundred
pounds.
TROUT, CODFISH AND HALIBUT.
Then there are quite a number of trout
and near Sitka a very large trout
caught, the size of salmon. On the Asi
atic side common brook trout were found
in the salt water. They paid particular
attention to the codfish aud halibut, and
Dr. Bean became confident that the Fa'
ctfic Coast codfish is the same as the At
lantic, and in the course of time would
become as valuable and importantant on
this coast as the Newfoundland fishes
are upon the Atlantic. They found some
very interesting specimens, and some
thought to belong to anew family.
ARCTIC BIBDS.
Dr. Bean collected a large number of
specimens of birds, many of which were'
secured in a more northern region than
the expedition had reached previously
as this year they went nearly to the l&ti
tudo of Point Barrow. While examin
ing the collection of birds at Oxford
several vears ago. he came across
peculiar bird, which belonged to Sir
John Barrow's collection, which was
marked from Behring Strait. It was
small snipe about six inches long; but
the bill was extended in a remarkable
manner, resembling the beak of the
spoon-bill, and the bird presented a very
peculiar appearance. This year they
looked very sharp for specimens of that
bird, and one of the natives succeeded
in killing a specimen. Afterward they
heard from Captain Barrow, the master
of the steam whaler Maria Helen, that he
had observed the birds among others
brought aboard for food while at Point
Barrow some years ago.
CHANGES IN AliASKA ABORIGINES.
In Alaska a considerable change has
taken place. When he first visited the
country, sixteen years ago, the natives
were attired in clothes made by them
selves, and they used articles of their
own manufacture. Now it is quite dif
ferent, for they nearly all wear articles
of civilized make, such as shirts, caps
and trousers. Their old implements are
becoming scarcer and scarcer. Much
damage has been done by foreign traders
and smugglers furnishing tne Indians
with alcohol. Intoxicating liquor is ex
ceedingly injurious to them, as, when
supplied with it, they neglect to provide
themselves in summer with a store of
food for the winter. In the interior, the
natives seem to have decreased and de
teriorated, partly on account of liquor,
and partly on account of being furnished
with fire-arms. Winchester rifles are
more common there than here, and pro
duce many deaths. Their Territory
seems, however, to be improving, for
now gardens are a prominent part of the
establishment, and furnish potatoes of
excellent quality and size.
A REMARKABLE SEASON.
Last season was a remarkable one in
meteorological sense. It was the most
severe season ever known. The ther
mometer during the past forty-five years
oulv upon one occasion hod marked four
degrees below zero, but last winter it
went down to twelve degrees below zero
The spring was quite late, but very fine
and clear. At Seal island the month of
July is usually the worst of the rainy
months, but this year not a single drop
of rain - fell. Until their vessel ap
proached the floating ice, they saw noth
mg like an Arctic climate, as the weather
wa so fine. There was no snow on
shore except here and there a little re
mained in a cleft in the mountains, while
the land was covered with grass and
flowers, which did not convey an Arctic
appearance.
WHALING.
This season has been a remarkably
favorable one to the whalers, The
whales have been very accommodating,
coming out from their usual hiding
places in the ice, and allowing them
selves to bo killed. Not only did the
whalers secure a full load, bnt they got
ont of the Arctic Ocean before October,
au event which has not happened during
twenty years. The presence oi tne cut
ter no there had a beneficial effect in pre
venting the usual trading ox Jiqnor on
the ooast, and as a natural consequence,
the natives have supplied themselves
with food; in fact, everybody seemed to
be happy up there.
A Weird Legend of the Last Century.
Dean Stanley tells the following story
in Eraser's Maaazine: In the middle of
the last century the chief or the Camp
bells of Iverawe had been giving an en
tertainment-at his castle on the banks of
the Awe. The party had broken up and
Campbell was left alone. He was roused
by a violent knocking at the gate, and
was surprised at the appearance of one of
his guests, with torn garments and
disheveled hair, demanding admission.
I have killed a man and I am pursued
by enemies. I beseech you to let me in.
Swear upon your dirk upon the crua-
chan or hip where your dirk rests
swear by Ben Cruachan-that you will
not betray me. Campbell swore, and
placed the fugitive in a secret place in
the house. Presently there was a second
knocking at the gate. It was a party of
his guests, who said, your cousin Donald
has been killed, where is the murderer?
At this announcement Campbell remem
bered the great oath which he had
sworn, gave an evasive answer, and sent
off the pursuers in a wrong direction.
He then went to the fugitive and said,
You have killed my cousin Donald. I
cannot keep you here. The murderer
appealed to his oath, and per
suaded. Campbell to let him stay
for the night. . Campbell did so, J
and retired to rest. In the visions of
that night the blood stained Donald ap-
peared to him with these words: in
7
rawe.
shield not thet murderer. In the morn
ing Campbell went to his guest and told
him that any further shelter was impos
sible. He took him, however, to a cave
in Ben Cruachan and there left him. The
night again closed in, and Campbell
again slept, and again the blood stained
Donald appeared. Inverawe, Inverawe,
blood has been shed; shield not the mur
derer. In the morning he went to the
cave en the mountain, and the murderer
had fled. Again at night he slept, and
again the blood stained Donald appeared
before him and said, Inverawe, Inverawe,
blood has been shed. We shall not meet
again until we meet at Ticdnderoga. He
woke in the morning, and behold it was
a dream. But the story of the tripple
apparition by him, and ho often told it
among his kinsmen, asking always what
the ghost could mean by this mysterious
word of their rendezvous.
In 1758 there broke out the French
and English war in Amerioa, which after
many rebuffs ended in the conquest of
Quebec by Gen. Wolfe. Campbell, of
Inverawe, went out with the Black
Watch, the 42d Highland regiment,
afterward so famous. There, on the eve
of an engagement, the general came to
the officers and said: We had better not
tell Campbell the name of the fortress
which we are to attack to-morrow. It is
Ticonderoga. Let nS call it Fort George.
The assalt took place in the morning.
Campbell was mortally wounded. He
sent for the general. These were his
words: "General, you have deoeived me;
I have Been him again. This is Ticon
deroga." The Betrothal of a ranee.
His Highness the Gaekwar of Baroda
was, as is well known, married lost Jan
uary, and the Times of India says: "The
story of his courtship is as thoroughly
Eastern as anything in the 'Arabian
Nights.' The young Maharajah himself
loyally felt or feigned that he hod no
right whatever to meddle in such a mat
ter as the selection of a consort for him
self, a matter which exclusively lelonged
to his affectionate mother. And Her
Highness the Mahorani Juninabai Sa
heb, as the head of the Gaekwar family,
had to desire the Dewan himself to lend
'his utmost assistance' in this delicate
business. 'Match-making,' says Sir Ma
dava Row, in his account of the progress
of the State of Baroda, 'is fraught with
pleasant anxieties for any mother, and in
the present instance the mother is one of
the highest ladies of the land. Trusted
emissaries started from Baroda and went
to divers countries, some traveling in
disguise, and others with pomp and cir
cumstance. In a short time descriptive
letters, illustrative photographs and com
plete horoscopes wonderfully showing
all the planets on their best behavior
poured in upon the Maharani in almost
embarrassing aDunaance. ins oiessmg
of the tutelary- deities was devoutly in-
yoked, the good-will of the priests was
propitiated, and astrologers in solemn
conclave were bidden to unerringly in
terpret the mystic influences ot the zo
diac. But the Maharani was also de
sirous of fulfilling more prosaic condi
tions, and she had to satisfy tin her choice
such worldly persons as the Governor
General's agent and the Dewan of the
State.
"Marathi girls are, however," almost
always married young, and as the Goek-
war's marriage had been deferred until
he was 17 years old, it was not only
necessary that his bride should be
young lady of high family, of health and
beauty, education and accompiisnments,
but that she must be of adolescent age
It was almost impossible to find a girl
approaching to the required ideal who
was still unmarried or still unengaged
Even when the poorest parents were ap
proached they were proud enough not to
send their daughters to Uaroda, as it on
inspection, even on the chance of being
married to the first Maratha Prince in
India. Things came to a dead-lock, and
the Queen-Mother had to press the De
wan to relinquish high politics lor
time, and set out for the Deocan in
search of an eligible lady. Accompon
ied by a band of the Maharant's relatives
and dependents, he started for Poona on
this curious quest. it had been ar
ranged,' he says, 'that just at that time
several girls reported eligible should
happen by pure accident to be present at
Poona; we saw them; but we could not
decidedly approve of any.
The rest of the story must still be told
in the words of the same high authority
'This result perplexed her Highness not
a little. The quarters supposed avaua
ble had been exhausted. The
marriage of the Maharajah
could not be postponed be
yond the next season; and yet tbe most
plastic Shastrees of the palace could Mt
cite authority to perform the marriage
witnoui a onue. ner oiKuuew, mere-
fore directed the Dewan to extend the
politico-aesthetic exploration beyond the
Bombay Presidency. This was, of
course, done; and the predestined sharer
of the young Gaekwar s fortunes was at
last found on tbe banks of the uanvery
The Tanjore family, to which the bride
belongs, had long been intimately con
nected with Sir Madava Bow, and the
marriaare, so far as those who were pres
ent at Baroda during the marriage fes
tivities could possibly judge, was de
cided popular among the Sirdars and
Maratha people generally, while the En
glish residents of Baroda were pleased
to find in the orphaned niece of the
Princess of Tanjore a young lady who
had enjoyed all the great advantages of
a thorough English education."
The Monkey In Its Domestic Relations.
In India, where the monkeys live
among men, and are the playmates of
their ohildren, the Hindoos have grown
fond of them, and the four-handed folk
participate in all their simple household
rites. In the early morning, when the
peasant goes ont to yoke his oxen, and
the crow wakes up and the dog stretches
. ... . ...
himself and shakes off the dust in which
he had slept last night, the old monkey
creeps down the peepui tree, only half
awake, and yawns and looks about him.
puts a straw in his mouth, and scratches
himself contemplatively. Then one by
one the whole family come slipping down
the tree trunk, and they all yawn and
look about and scratch. But they are
sleepy and peevish, and the youngsters
get cuffed for nothing, and begin to
think life dull. Yet the toilet has to be
performed, and whether they like it or
pot, the young ones are sternly pulled
up one by one, to their mother to under
go the process. The scene, though re
peated exactly every morning, loses
nothing of its delightful comicality, and
the monkey brats seem all to be in tbe
joke of "taking in mamma." But mam
ma was young herself not very long ago,
and treats each ludicrous affection of
suffering with the profoundest uncon
cern, and. as she dismisses one "cleans
ed" young! ter with a cuff, stretches out
her hand for the next one s tail or leg in
the most business-like and serious man
ner possible.
The youngsters know their turn quite
well. As each feels the moment arrive it
throws itself on its stomach as if over
whelmed with apprehension, the others
meanwhile stifling their satisfaction at
the way "so-and-so is doing it," and tbe
instant the martial paw is extended to
grasp the tail, the subject of the next ex
periment utters a piercing shriek, and.
throwing its arms forward in the dust.
allows itself to be dragged along a limp
and helpless carcass, winking all the
time, no doubt, at its brothers and sis
ters at the way it is imposing on the old
lady. Bnt tho old lady will stand no
nonsense, and, turning the child right
side up, proceeds to put it to rights,
takes the kinks out of its tail and knots
out of its fur, pokes its fingers into its
ears and looks at each of its toes, the ir
repressible brat all the time wearing on
his face an absurd expression of hope
less and incurable grief, those who have
been already cleansed looking on with
delight at the screaming farce, and those
who are waiting wearing a becoming as
pect of enormous gravity. .
Ahe . old lady, however, has her loke.
too, whioh is to cuff each younireter be
fore she lets it go, and, nimble as ber
offspring are, she generally, to her credit
bo it said, manages to "fetch them one
on the ears" before they are ont of reach.
The father, meanwhile, sits gravely with
his back to all these domestic matters.
waiting for breakfast. Presently the
mats before the hut doors are pushed
down, and women, with brass vessels in
their hands, come out, and while they
scour the pots with dust exchange be
tween songs the compliments of the
morning. The monkeys by this time
have come closer to the preparations for
food, and sit solemnly, household by
household, watching every movement.
Hindoos do not hurry themselves in any
thing they do, but the monkey has
plenty of patience, and in the end, when
the crowd has stolen a little, and the dog
has had his morsel, and the children are
all fatisfied, the fragments of the meal
are thrown out on the ground for the
"blunder orgue," the monkey people,
and it is soon discussed, the mother
feeding the baby before she herself
eats. ...
A lady of Holyoke, Mass., has built a
house of money made by selling her hus
band liquor. He drinks regularly, and
she bargained with him that if he would
drink he should buy all his liquor of her.
Thus she got all the profit instead of the
saloon keepers. But we would risk
something on it that she hasn't let her
procedure become known to the internal
revenue officer of the neighborhood, for
she is liable to be arrested for selling
liquor without a license, and thus violat
ing a United States law.
In the old days there were angels who
came and took men by the hand and led
them away from the city of destruction.
We see no white winged angels now.
But yet men are led away from threaten
ing destruction ; a hand is put in theirs
which leads them forth toward a calm
and bright land, so that they look no
more backward; and the hand may be a
little child's. George Eliot.
When old Mrs. Buasby had got
through reading in the morning paper
an account of the last fire she turned her
spectacles from her eyes to the top of her
head and remarked: "If the city fire
men would wear the generwine hum
knit stockings, such as we make and wear
in the country, they wouldn't be a bust
in' of their hose at every fire."
A woman who kept a boarding house
in Ottawa, Canada, has recently attempt
ed to commit suicide. In the United
States it is generally the boardors who
