The Crumps were, or considered them serrestbe verjfirst peoplein Pottsville anl Josiab Crump, the present head of the family, was very proud of his ancestors. He was about the ireanest man in money matters ever known. He had driven his boys from home by his niggardliness; and now that his wife Mas dead, his daughter Pamela was all that he had left. She was a handsome, strong, well-made girl, with a good mind, although he had given her the very poorest education and no accomplishments whatever. She worked in his house without help, or thanks, or reward of any kind; her only consolation being that sha was Miss Crumps. "Much good that does me," she used t.fl . flf.V.

Girls who had no grandfather to bona'., about had accomplishments and good clothes and comforts and pleasures of all sorts which she never knew, and which her father could well afford. At last, on her nineteenth birthday, after she had longed in silence for many days, Pamela grew bold. Long fur-lined cloaks were jnst coming into fashion, and how she wanted one only a girl can know. It was while her father sat counting over a great roll of bills, which he had just received as rent of certain property, that Bhe went up softly behind him and said meekly: "Pa, can I have one of those large, black, silk cloaks, such as Betty Bur roughs wears one with fur-lining? I'll make it myself. It will wear for years. Oh, pa, I do so want it!" and she paused, with hands unconsciously clasped to gether. Mr. Crump looked at . her . horror stricken. "A silk cloak with a fnr-linincrr ha repeated, slowly. "No, you can't, Pa mela; it's too expensive. Get your poor ma's gray blanket sh awl and wear it out. I'm sure she'd be willing." "Poor ma's shawl had moths in it two years before she died," sighed Pamela. "She couldn't wear it, and you never knew, pa, you don't know how badly off I am. I've outgrown my sacque and look like a fool in it. I have boys' shoes and a hat oh, dear, such a hat! I can not really go out anywhere." "Women should be keepers at home," said Mr. Crump. "Certainly I ought to go to church," aaid Pamela. "Not to show fine clothes," said Mr. Crump. "Bat I ought to dresss like a lady," sighed the poor girl. "I should think you would admit that, pa." "Ladies are not always most dressed," said Mr. Crump. "Far from it. You are Miss Crump. Remember, the Crumps are the oldest family in Pottsville." "Ort T lrnrtt all that. ra ' infanmn Pamela; "but it does no good if I must go about looking like a beggar." Mr. Crump brought his cane down on the floor and thundered out: "Hold your tongue, Pamela!" buttoned, his pocket-book in his bosom and trotted away to deposit the money, while Pame la, scarlet from brow to chin, remained where he had left her. Uli, what shall 1 ao! sue exclaimed at last. "Is this a woman's fate to beg all ber life? I have no education. I can not teach. I can do nothing but house work. I'm the best washer in' the vil lftge, but There!" cried Pamela, bring ing her foot down on the floor suddenly. "A girl who can wash and iron as I can doesn't need to beg for her clothes!" Brushing her tears away, sho ran into the entry, took from a peg her shabby hat and sacque, put them on, locked up the house, and hurried down the village street as fast as her young strong limbs could carry her, until she stopped at; a little white house at the low window of which she tapped. A little girl opened the door and Pamela followed her into the sitting room where a thin woman sat. amidst cushions, in a big, Boston rock-1 ing chair, with a brand new baby across her knee, two older ones on the floor near her, and two little boys building a block house on the table while the little girl who opened the door made the sixth of the youthful group. "Why, Miss Pamela," said the mother, "how pleased I am to see you! Excuse my getting up, I ain't strong yet. I was thinking when you came in whether or no I should be able to darn that place in the carpet, but I don't think I shall. Nurse has gone away, and sister can't come, because her husband i3 down with the malaria, and I'm awfully un settled." . f "You must be," said Pamela dandling the baby. " Why, what a little beauty it is, Mrs. Pease. I suppose you've got a washerwoman this week?" . VNo,. I haven't. It's my, worst trouble," said Mrs. Pease. ; "I had Kitty bring in the things, and they are all mended and sorted out but black Bar bara is engaged on the hill, and I don't know what I'll do." . ," Hire me," said Pamela. My r laughed Mrs. Pease. "Why, Miss Cramp i" : "I mtaa it," said Pamela. "I wash better than black Barbara, and I want to earn some money. You can pay me what juu iy uur, .airs. .Tease. "A dollar a day," said Mrs. Pease "Dut gracious, Miss Pamela, you can mean it. r jl mean irom my heart, said Pamela. "Pa thinks more of his money man ne aoes oi me. 1 am going to earn clothes for myself. I need them I'm sure." - j "Men are so peculiar sometimes, ainea iurs. jrease. "ii you really mean it, it will be a great comfort to me. Pamela instantly took off her bonnet and sacque, tucked up her skirt, and took Kitty out into the kitchen with her. Before night "the washing " white as snow, was piled in a great clothes-bas ket. Mrs. Pease had had a great bowl of soup, and all was tidy in the little room, where Pamela sat mending the bit 01 carpet, . "I knew it would bother you until it was aone, sue said, "ana now 1 11 go home and get pa s tea: "Oh, Miss Pamela! I am so much obliged!" said Mrs. Pease. "And I be lieve you've only done it to oblige me." "jto, said jfameia, " aid it to earn money. May I come next Monday? "Why, gracious me! if you will " said Mrs. Pease. 1 "Been to see Mrs. Pease?" asked curi ous Mrs. Chalker, peeping out of her kitchen door as Pamela passed. "I've been washing! for her," said Pa mela. i: - "Why, how Christian kind of you, to oe sure, said Mrs. Uualner. "Nothing of the kind," said Pamela. "I took my dollar for it. Hve you your washerwoman, Mrs. Uhalker? ' "No, I haven t, and I am t able to wash," said Mrs. Chalker. 1'ameia instantly onered her services. "I am going to do washing," she said. "I'm going to do it just as other washer women do, for moneys I shan't exolain why. Bat here I' am a splendid laun dress, ready to be hired six days in the week, from seven to six, if any one wants me So it began. Before long, Pamela had many employers, and the village was rife with suspicion as to the why and where fore but never was a girl prouder of herself than was Pamela when she lay down npon the counter of a dry good store the money for her coveted cloak; nara-earned oney, own; not a cent of it man alive. . but all her very coaxed out of and She wore the cloak and a prettr plush bonnet and new kid gloves to church on Christmas day. She looked well. The squire stared at her solemnly, but he knew that she had had no money. "1 reckon, he thought, "she has cut up her poor ma's old black silk. I won't ask any questions") and he held his peace. Pamela, as she looked at him. won dered what he would say if he knew all. That week she had some cards printed professional cards, j The printer brought them home the next morning. They; read thus: "Miss Pamela Crump Laundress. House cleaning done in the best manner. Cbump House, ." The cards were circulated through the village by a boy hired for the purpose. and on her return at nigfcfc from her day's work, Pamela found a postal card awaiting her. Miss Crump, Laundress: Please call at Mr. Bothwell'3 early to-morrow. C. IJOTHWEIiIi. Now Mr. BothTTell was the new minis ter, a widower with !two children. He knew nothing of the Crumps nor the vil lage as yet. Had preached there once and been "called" in j consequence of the demise of the excellent Mr. Dolorus, who had departed this life at a ripe old age. Pamela laughed a little as she deter mined to call and see! what was desired. At seven o'clock she rang the bell of the pastor's very small j house and was ad mitted by the gentleman himself. Be was in evident distress of mind, and his dressing-gown needed mending sadly. xxe looted at Miss Crump for a mo ment and then requested her to walk into his study. It fras a dusty place with a good deal of manuscript lying about; and the shrieks of a weeping child were heard in the distance. "May I ask what I can do for you. madam?" inquired the gentleman, mo tioning to a seat, i "You wrote me," said Pamela.. "Miss Crump, laundress, j : Oh, dear me, yesi replied Mr. Both- well, with wide open; eyes "I wrote to you. Thanfes for your promptness. The act of the matter is, my housekeeper an aged colored person I thought her most estimable is lying terribly intoxi cated oh the kitchen floor, and has been for two days, and things are -are " And . Mr. Boihwell, running short of words, spread his hands abroad in a pan tomine descriptive of chaos. "I understand," said Pamela, calmly. "Where is your kitchen?" Two hours afterward the master was calmly writing in j his study, and the children, washed and dressed, were listening to the stories Pamela told them as she rubbed away at the washboard. The. housekeeper had been dumped upon a bed in a small bed room on the lower floor to sleep off her intoxication, and potatoes were boiling and a couple of chickens roasting for the family dinner. Meanwhile, Mr. Crump, having some important document to inspect, had come home unexpectedly, and, entering the house, had found it empty, and in the sitting room came upon a sight which petrified him With horror. A little portable desk, which his daughter had appropriated for her own, was lying open on the table and in it the cards we have described, and her account book. I He read the card first: Miss Pamela Cbump. Laundress. House-cleaning done in best manner. Then he ran his eye over the account book. '-, . .. v i Washed Monday, for Mrs. Pease; Tuesday, for Mrs. Chalker; Wednesday, for Mrs. Mott; ironed, Thursday after noon; house-cleaning for Mrs. Downs on Saturday. j All t'lis in a furious rage, and almost foaming at the mouth, until he came to the following items: Dec. 5th Bought the silk and fur for cloak. ... . .. J..-;- Dec. 10th Made cloak. It fits well. Dec. 25th Wore cloak to church, and thanked heaven I hadn't had to beg it from father.- - ' - .. .,':;;.-.;:..:. ;'i;-H.:. Then Mr. Crump! closed the book, and with a queer disposition to cry, sat down beside his solitary hearth and looked at the fire for several hours, without stirring. . - . When Pamela opened the door and came in, she saw! her father and knew that he knew all. "Pamela, come here," he said: "How long has this been going on?" !!SLDce 0ct,ol,P,the girl answered. Then you ve been disgracing me and yourself for three months," said the old man. "Yon, a Crump! and all to Bpite your poor old father for being careful of his monev." Pamela was not afraid of her father now. She came ovsr and Raf, VtpRidA him. "Pa," she said, "it was not for spite; it was for need. I suffered so much mortihcation,not only from being shabby, but having to bee. If there la unvthina in good blood, as you think there is, per- uaps mat made it hard to beg from even VOU.

Though, Pamela," he often says, "I should have offered myself all the same had you actually been a laundress." - Mrs. JKrewst r. Mrs. Brewster, who is the handsomest woman in the Cabinet partevre, held a very brilliant reception, assisted by Miss Koons, a sister of the daughter's fiance, her niece, Miss Emery, Miss McKoover, Miss Cobertson and; Miss Dora Miller. Miss Brewster, who will become Mrs. Koons next week,4s a daughter of Mrs. Brewster by a former marriage. Per haps you have heard of the romantic life of this elegant woman, who would shine in any society in any land. She was the daughter of Robert J. Walker, at one time Secretary of the Treasury. She ac companied Admiral and Mrs. Som Europe, and fell in love with a French gentleman, one jh. .ueion. A marriage followed, and renentannfl ftaryiA nnlv inn soon, but not before a daughter and two sons were Dorn. The unhappy marriage state was terminated bv Delon'a Wt.h and the widow, poor in purse, was given a position m the department over which her father once had control The present Attorney General always an admirer of beauty in women met her and offered her hia hand and his wealth and his name for herself and her children. "You are beautiful," he said, "and L am hideous,' but it will not be the first instance of the matins of beautv and the lie.isfc nml ol. though you may never love me, vott shall never regret marrying me." The three children took the step-father's name. Andre became Andrew, Marie, Mamie. Bat the younger boy's name has escaped my memory at this writing.

Boston Her ald. v- A Chinese Dinner In J?ew YorK, I found on Mulberrv street the well- known cheap Chinese reitaurant kept by the solemn, jovial Oriental whose "nnmo is Fun Mone. "Chinese dinnar. seven cents." was the siarn outside. "T'll eat. it. if it kills me," thought I, and I went in. "One dinner " I said. "Yi alio light," F. M. answered I.

There is one thing that gives rich "people the rep utation oi Deing Btingy, that they are not to blame for. They dare not give much money to charitable purposes, for fear they will be overrun with applicants. It is a singular thing, but if Vauderbilt should give away a hundred thousand dollars in charity, he would not bte able to get into his own house or office with out running over dozens of people with subscription papers and ftchemes. Tf Gould should give away half a million dollars in charity, his life would become a burden to him from the flocks of hon est people and dead beats that would haunt him. Rich men prefer to give money through other parties, quietly and unknown, and go through life looked upon as stingy, rather than place them selves in a position to be annoyed to death by applications. The most of the rich men of this country, who are looked upon as very hoggish, give away large quantities of money on the sly. There is, according to an exchange, a custom prevailing among the inhabit ants of the Sarideman Island, which may throw a light upon the civilized- use of wedding cake. When a native girl, whose exceptional beauty has brought her many suitors, is knocked down and carried off by her accepted suitor, the wedded pair, within forty-eight hours of the wedding, send a cup of poison, dis tilled form the hulahnla tree, to each and every one of the bride's former ad mirers. If -any recipient feels that he cannot become reconciled to the mar riage, he drinks the poison and dies; but if he decides that he will survive the loss of his intended wife, he throws away the poison and feels bound in honor never to show the slightest sign of disappoint ment. : By i this admirable system the husband is spared the pangs of jealousy, aud is ablo ta live on friendly terms with the eurviving admirers of his wife. There l is considerable difference be tween doctors and ; lawyers handling a case.' The more lawyers there are in a case', the longer the case will last, but the more doctors there are in a case, the shorter work they make of it. btory of a Dolphin. There is in Africa a town called Hippo, near the sea; it stands upon a navigable lake, from whence a river runs into the main ocean, and ebbs and flows with the sea. Persons of all ages divert them selves here with fishing, sailing jor bwimming, especially boys, whom lave of play and idleness bring hither. The The contest among them is who shall have the glory of swimming the farthest; and he that leaves the shore and his com panions at the greatest distance gains the victory. f :..r It happened in one of these trials of skill that a certain boy, more brave than the rest.launched out toward the opposite shore. He was met by a dolphin, Who sometimes swam before him, and some times behind him,'- and then played around him, and at lvrt took him upon his back, then set him down, and after ward took him up again, and thus Car ried the poor frightened boy out into jthe deepest part, then immediately he turns back again to the shore, and lands him among his companions. T The fame of this remarkable event spread through the town, and crowdi of people flocked round the town to ask him questions, and hear him relate the story. The next day the shore was lined with multitudes of spectators, all attentively contemplating the ocean and the like. In fthe meanwhile the boys swam as usual, and among the rest the youth I am speaking of went into the lake. but with more caution than before. The flol- phin strain appeared, and came to tho boy, whe, together with his companions, 8 warn away with the utmost preci Ua- tion. -: v,;--'s-:r:.--..

It is very remarkable that this dolphin was followed bv a! sec ond, which seemed only as a spectator and attendant on the other; for he did not at all submit to the same familiar ities as the first, but onlv conducted him backward and forward, as the bors did their comrade. But what is rather surorisinc thiri dnl phin who thus plated with the bov! nml carried them upon his hack, would come upon the shore, dry himself in the and, as soon as he grew warm, roll into the sea.

There came for trial before Judge Ludlow yesterday a suit that was brought over forty-five v ears ago, and in the early period of its history engaged the attention of some of the greater lights of he Philadelphia bar. Tno facts of the case briefly stated, are these: In 1837,the firm of Warwick & Claggett being in debted to Jackson, Riddle & Co., the latter laid an attachment upon 500 shares of the stock of the old Girard bank, standing in the name of the debtors. The bank filed as an answer "nulla bona," that they had not the property in their possession. From that time to 1878 the matter slept, when on October 29, 1878, the Girard bank set tled with the heirs of Warwich by paying his administrator 10,680 37. This payment attracted the attention of the creditor of Jackson, Biddle & Co., who had failed many years ago, and tho assignee for the benefit of creditors, re newed the old suit, brought in 1837, claiming that the value of the stock with accrued dividends in the hands of the Girard National bank amounted to $26, 216 25, and that they were entitled to this sum. It was to try the question whether the bank did owe Warwick & Claggett this sum that the suit of yester day determed. Nearly all of the testi mony yesterday was of a documentary character, including court dockets, divi dend books of the bank, etc. The de fence of the bank yesterday consisted of various offers to show that which would presumptively prove the probability of a settlement or abandonment of the case; that there was presumptive evidence among the old records that two English bankers had attached and taken War wick's stock. These oilers Judge Lud low ruled out on several distinct grounds and as counsel did not desire to make speeches, the case went to the jury on the charge of the judge. The jury in a few moments rendered a verdict for the plaintiffs for upward of $32,000. Ques tions of law arising out of the doctrine of presum ptions of abandonment, the judge reserved for the consideration of the conrt in banc f Philadelphia Ledg er, i'eo. zith. PERSONAL AWi. GENERAL.

Adam was made of clay. But he acted as though he was only half baked. His son did the first kiln in the country. The potter works in the mud, hence we-admire his work. His life is one long act of murder, but he is never hanged for it, though sometimes he is broken at the wheel. All his work, however good, goes to the fire. What he bakes you cannot eat, although you eat what the other baker sets on it. The potter is an aristccrat by nature, and always belongs to a set. To several sets in fact. He is inpedendent, and urns his own living. He is a base ball star, and makes a bet ter pitcher than the "only Nolan." He is no deacon, but he passes the plate. A rigid temperance man, he is fond of his bowl. And he always . makes it go around, too. There never was but one blind potter, and he did not stay along, for hs made a cup, and sa w, sir.
