! MRS. BONANZA MACKAY.
Some Revised Details an to Bar Very In
teresting Blatorr.
Louise Hunfrerford, with a younger
sister who is now the Countess of Telf
fner, the wife of a Italian Count, left
Now York when about twelve years old,
says the Working Woman. John Hun
gerford was a journeyman barberin New
York, but enlisted In the Mexican war;
later he was employed at his trade by
one George W. Ciprioo, whose shop in
San Francisco was known as "Montgom
ery baths," and the ohair that Jack Hun
gerford used is pointed out to the cus
tomers of the Ciprico barber shop to this
day. Mr. Ciprico ad vanoed 8500 in gold to
his employe, who immediately sent for
his daughters. When Louise llungerford
and her sister arrived in San Francisco
they went to the house of Mr. Ciprico,
who took them into his family, they be
ing nearly the same age of his own
daughters. Here they were treated as
members of the family, being taught
Italian and French atid music by the
daughters.- They lived with their bene
factors six or seven years.
In 1805 llungerford opened a barber
shop on his own account at Mokolumne
Hill, Cal., and Louise, who was then
about nineteen years old, acted as ber
father's housekeeper they having one
room in the rear of the shop. He was
proprietor of but short duration, for he
soon "busted" up in business. During
this period a .Dr. Bryant, who kept a
small drug store at Nevada City, about
one hundred miles from Mokelumne
Hill, paid attention to Louise,
and she was married to him aftei
a short courtship. , Dr. Bryant, be
ing a man of dissolute habits, died two
or three years afterward of dolirium
troraons, leaving Mrs. Bryant no means
of support for hersolf and daughter Eva,
now the Princess Colonna. Hor father's
failure in business and her husbands
death compelled her to seek service in
the family of J. W. Walker- brother of
tho late ex-Governor Wail-Sof Virginia,
iid there sh.Hnet-fohO.'oflrst tinie J.
W. Mackay, superintenden t of the Bul
lion mine at Virginia City,' Nev. Louise
Bryant, for a brief time, previous to her
going into the service of Mr. Walker,
had tried a hand at keeping a boarding
house for the minors.
Mr. Mackay was comfortably flxod and
could provide her s homo, such as the
miners used in those days, simply a
cabin of two rooms. So he courted and
won the Widow Bryant. Her father
!n the raoantime had gone back to his
former "boss" and procured employment
and helped to pay the youngest daugh
ter's board. Mrs. Mackay was cook and
general housekeeper and laundry-woman,
and helped entertain her husband's
so-workers in tho mines. j
Mr. Mackay soon after attained great '
wealth, and Mrs. Mackay and her sister I
had tho advantage of a common school
education and could speak fluently Ital-,
ian and French, through the association j
of tho Ciprico family, who were re-!
markably woll educated three of the 1
daughters of Mr. Ciprico are school
teachers in San Francisco to-day. When
Mrs. Mackay, hordaughter Eva, and her
sister went abroad, it was to eot awav
from her former associates. When she
returned for tho ilrst time to San Fran- j
Cisco sho called upon tho Ciprioo girls, i
but from that day to tho present sho has
ignored her formor teachers and bene- j
factors.
The people of Ran Francisco who
know the facts as above stated are indig
nant at Mrs. Jonn W. Mackay's Ingrati
tude to a family that had done so much
for her iu hor early days of poverty and
somewhat adventuresome life.
John llungerford now known as Col.
llungerford of tho United States army
was formerly known as "Jack llunger
ford, tho barber." IIo was a good artist,
and there is no disgrace attached to his
business. Louise earned her daily bread
as a boarding-house kcop"r. lint the
worst of ingratitude comes in to those
who took caro of her and gavo her the
advantages of an early education. This
wo think the worst of crimes.

CARE OF THE HANDS.
Uttle Things That W II Keep Them In
Good Condition.
Probably there is no ono thing that
makes girls shrink from house-work
more than tho effect it has on thehands,
especially in cold weather, says Health.
It is a real trial to sit down to the piano
and spread a stained, rough hand on the
ivory keys; or to take one's pen in an
unsightly hand to answer a loiter; or to
pick up a bit of embroidery, if it is only
that on perforated hoso, and use the
needle when every thing that touches
the hands sticks to them because of
their r-mghnoss. Sowing on woolen or
silk is at such times a severe penanue.
There are methods of preserving the
handj measurably against the do-
structivo effect of dish-washing, scrub
bing and tho like. They should be kept
as much out of the water as possible,
and when the work is done they should
bo washed clean and rubbed dry. Borax
water is good for washing the
hands. Coarsely ground oat-meal is a
fair substitute for soap in washing the
hands. White unsconted soaps are the
best, as tho highly sconted soaps are
usually made of rancid fats. A solution
of oxalio acid will remove fruit stains
from the hands, but it must not touch an
abraded Bttrfaco. After washing and
irying the hands thoroughly, glyo
srine and spirits of camphor in
equal parts mixed together is
good to rub over them. Cocoanut oil
Is a pleasant application. Wearing kid
gloves two sizes too large is helpful in
preserving the hands. One should have
an old pair of gloves to tako up ashes in,
to sweep in and to wear in all dirty work
that permits the wearing of gloves. .If
gloves are dipped in not very hot linseed
oil thoy becomo watorproof, and may be
worn while washing dishes. A pair of
canton ilannel mittens is pleasant to
wear when hanging out tho clothes on a
cold morning. Frequent rubbing of the
hands will promote circulation and keop
tbe skin in good condition. To take the
best caro of the nails soak the ends of
the fingers in hot water for some time,
until tho skin is softened, then dry, and
with a pair -of nail scissors thin off all
tho dead skin about tho nails and trim
tbe nails neatly.
WOMAN'S HAPPIEST HOUR.
Lova Has Morn to Do with It Than Any
Tiling- Else.
I have bad it suggosted to mo by a
friend staving in the house at thin time,
writes "The Duchess" in tho Ladies'
Homo Journal, that tho happiest mo
ment in a woman's life is when, having
brought tho man of her heart to tho
point of proposing, sho makes him wait
a minute or two for hor answer. To
know and feel his anxiety to under
stand that tho anxiety is all caused
through lovo of her this would consti
tute a bliss not to bo rivaled, a bliss the
sv.-peter for being so short-lived, and be
oauso of the fact that it can never occur
again. But this strikes me as being a
little feline in its nature, just a trifle
cruel.
For myself, I should think there
would bo keener joy In that moment
when a woman ia able to say "Yes" to
thn most important question of her life,
and to give herself freely and gladly to
tho one she loves.
I think, however, the question a difB
cult one to answer. There are so many
different natures, that wliat would be
extreme happiness to one woman might
be only mild delight to anotben -
Some women, for example, have th
maternal instinct more strongly devel
oped than others, and for them the vocal
cry of their first-born must cause an upr
lifting of the heart that no other focllng
on earth could outdo. All in that su
premo moment is forgotten!
The ambitious woman must find her
best hour when sho has attained the
summit of her hopes, and vlctorycrowns
her with its laurel wreath.
To the woman standing over tho sick
bed that contains tho one being dearest
to her on earth, can there bo an hour
more rife with thankful happiness than
when tho doctor declares tliat thero is
hope? O, magic word! Hope that the
adored ono will be given back to her
from tho very jaws of death!
And yet, after all, I think Love, "that
great master" as be has been justly
called, nas more to do with a woman's
sweetest hour than any tiling else on
earth. To love, and to feel one's self
beloved that is, indeed, to know the
best of life.

A MERCIFUL JUDGE.

Man Who kiwi Abused Hor.
Thero was onco a little woman. Bava the
Boston Courier, who, as other little women
had.had bofore her, was so unfortunate as to
have a husband who drank like a fish, and
thomoro he drank the more heartily he
heut and abused her. She endured it like
an angel, and indeed it is to bo feared that
part of the sin of his misdoing was to be
laid upon her head, so temptingly patient
was sho, and so fur was she from treating
aim as ne deserved ui De treated.
But in course of time a kind fate inter
fered to save the litue woman from the fur
ther abusmgs of the brute. Ho took one
Irlnk too many, and broke his neck In an
ll-Judged attempt to carry himself and too
nany potions ot brandy on horseback at the
same time.
And when the man was dead the littlo
wife rememberod no moro his brutalltv.
nor the size of the stick with which be had
oeen wont to beat her, grievous to be borne
although it had been. Bfcs mourned and
wept and lamented and told hor friends
what a paragon be had been, until one of
them could bear it no longer, but mused out
with cruel kindnosa,and denounced the dead
man a the drunken brute he had really
been.
The widow looked up through ber tear
with a world of reproach in ber eyes.

AN UNCONSCIOUS SPY.
low a Woman' Kindness Nearly Ld t
Her Death.
During the late oivil war Mrs. Wheeler,
the Eugene healer, served as a nurse in
the Union service. She had many thrill
ing experiences and among them the
Eugene (Ore.) Journal has heard of the
following: She was present at the battle
of Spottsylvanla. At the commence
ment of the battle a I'nion officer rode
up to her and handed her a package of
paper with the request that she should
keep them safe until the battle was over,
and then, if he (the officer) should not
live to call for them, to deliver the
package at headquarters.
In tbe course of the fight a flank was
turned and Mrs, Wheeler and the rest of
the hospital nurses oaptured. by the
rebels. Upon searching her person of
jourso the papers wore found and proved
to be the work of a Union spy, who had
been inside the rebel lines. She was at
ance arraigned before a court-martial
jomposed of rebel officers, and notwith
standing her statement of how Bhe came
by the papers and repeated protestations
of Innocence, Bhe waB formally con
victed of being a spy and sentenced to
be nanged at sunrise the next morning.
She was then taken by a guard of three
wldiers and confined in a small guard
house, which had bittonesmall aperture
admitting light and air, and through
the aperture she saw the erection of tho
gallows on which she was to portsh.
What a grim perspeotivel
Inside the guard houso there was
nothing but the bare floor of earth and
4wo dry-good boxes standing against a
wall; no ohair, no bed.
That night one of the guards en tored
he guard houso with a piece ol corn
bread and a tin cup of water for her sup
per Mrs. Wheeler spoke.
The guard slopped.
He then retired and looked the door
apon her again. Later on In the night
ihe heard a voice at the aperture Bay:
'Move the small box!" She moved the
inland discovered an aperture, which
provod to be a tunnol. Through this
tunnel she workod her way on her hands
and knees foraboutono-fotirth of a mile,
when sho emerged from its mouth and
found a man and two saddled horsos
standing there.
Mrs. Wheeler mounted one horse, and
the man, who was disguised, the other.
For six miles they rodo on in darkness
without speaking, but at the end of that
time the man spoke and said: "You are
now safe in the Union lines; ride on,"
and the man disappeared in the dark
ness like a shadow.
Mrs. Wheeler rodo on until sho came
across a picket, who took her to Oonoral
Helntzelman's headquarters.
Some tlmo ago, while taking a little
outing at Anderson's, on the MclCenzie
river, Mrs. Wheeler and her preserver
met and recognized each other after a
lapse of twonty-six years. Hor preserv
er's name is well known Dr. B. F. Rus
sell, now postmaster at Thurston. He
was ono of the three guards. He was
th disguised horseman.
BRAZILIAN PEBBLE.
It Makes No llett(r Lens Than a Good
4Jnallty of (llnss.
What is called Bruzilliin pebble is
often nothing but a fine quality of
glass, says tbe St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The real Brazilian pebble is a
kind of roelc crystul, found in many
parts of the world, but in (Trent pro
fusion in Brazil, nnd hence the name.
There Is a pet superstition that the
Brazilian pebble glasses preserve the
sight, but no solid foundation for it
exists. Fine glons is every whit as good
and costs far less on account of tho
labor and care required to grind the
crystal to tho proper shape.
The only real advantage the ciystal
lenses have over those of glass Is in tha
hardness of the material, which ren
ders them much less liable to become
scratched and so dimmed, but other
wise the gluhs is as good. Thero are
several tests by which to distinguish
the genuine pebble from the glass imi
tation, but the most easily applied is
that of touch. The real pebble will
feel far colder to the linger or tongue
than the glui.B, no much so that ufter
touching a gluHS lens and then one ol
crystal any one will be able to detect
the difference.
