Had Alice Wier been impatient to accomplish her ambitious scheme of marrying this prospective member of congress, she would have been ill-pleased with his tardiness in de­ claring himself; but, for soma reason, she was strangely content to wait; and every time the dangerous tender ness that showed itself for an instant in Col. Sliepperson’s eyes when they met hers, in his voice when he spoke to her. in the pressure of his hand as it held hers, resolved itself into the gray airi­ ness of jest, and the threatened crisii thus passed away, she breathed a sigl of relief and thankfulness. Verily homeopathy may be sure; but in thes. two cases it was unquestionably slow. But affairs could not go on thus for ever. With wonder and impatience nt I- strange faint-heartedness, Dean Radnor resolved at last to make the fatal leap and give Miss Temple the long-deferred opportunity to accept his hand and for­ tune. And. by an odd coincidence, he chose the very time and place for mak­ ing this declaration that Col. Shepper- son, likewise goaded to desperate resolu­ tion, had chosen for a similar duty. They were again the guests of Mrs. Chalmers; the occasion a lawn party, just previous to the breaking up of so­ ciety for the summer exodus to seashore and mountains. It was evening, and the elegant grounds were illuminated with Japaneze lan'erns, making an effective picture with the auxiliaries of flowers, shrubbery, fountains, statuary and the beautiful costumes of the ladies who were all in fancy dress. Dean Radnor, possibly with a view to preparing himself for liis meditated coup d'etat, had wondered off alone to a quiet portion of the grounds, where the moon­ light, undisturbed by the brilliant glare of the Japanese lanterns, was doing its best to turn night into day; and there, pacing to and fro behind the cover of the tall shrubbery, he was communing with himself, when suddenly he heard voices just at hand; two voices—one a man’s deep baritone, the other a woman’s sweet, clear treble—both soft­ ened into the most gentle, tender tones. Could it be—could it be that one of them was Col. Sliepperson’s voice and the other Miss Temple’s? Yes, even so; and < lus is what tiiey said, and what Dean Tiadnor, unconsciously eavesdropping, overheard: Ho—Oh, my darling, you can not im­ agine how happy tliis renewal of our engagement has made mel And only last night—to-day—this very evening, I was so near despair I How could you flirt with Dean Radnor as you have been doing, when all the time you loved only me? She (sweetly)—Oh, Philip, could you ever have lieen so blind as to imagine that I cared anything for Dean Radnor? We were excellent friends—nothing more. I confess that I tried to like him, just at first, for I was determined to make myself forget how much I cared for you; but that wss— He (rapturously)—Impossible, darling! | Oh. how happy you make met She (shyly)—Y’es—I don’t mind telling you now, Philip—it was impossible. But oh! [with sudden emotion that seems to threaten tears] how could you flirt with Alice Wier as you have been doing, if all tiie time you loved only me? lie (laughing)—You dear little goose, did you really believe that I was in love with Miss Wier? A cruel little flirt, ! with no more heart than an icicle! I’ll | admit to you that I did think of making serious love to her just at first, for I was so stung by tiie way you had thrown me over; but bless your dearest and sweetest of little heartsl do you think I could ever care for Alice Wier, after loving you? WJiy, the idea, you know— And here followed some inarticulate but distinctly audible demonstrations on Col. Sliepperson’s part at which Miss Tem­ ple faintly demured; then, before another word was spoken, they had passed on be­ yond reach of Radnoris ear. In a state of dazed wonder, of half­ stupid comprehension, Dean Radnor turned mechanically to retrace his steps toward the gayly-lighted grounds. whence came the sound of sweetly mur­ muring voices and laughter, when a startling apparition met his eyes. There, in the broad, full, merciless moonlight, with her misty white dress falling around her like a filmy cloud, stood Alice Wier, white and motionless, md beautiful as a statue; and thus face o face these innocent eavesdroppers looked into each other's eyes long and steadily for the first time since their foolish estrangement. Yes, and tiiey saw now with clearer vision than ever before into each other’s iienrts and into their own. The shadow hat had hung between them so long was -uddenly lifted; and with new gladness hrilling their heartsand shining in their eyes, each moved a step forward, with me common impulse, until Alice was folded in Radnor’s arm.«, and the words were spoken that brought joy to their hearts, and made peace between them forever and ever.—Mi«« S.

James Chalmers, a recently returned missionary, gives a most amus­ ing account of some recent experiences among the cannibals, for it seems can­ nibals and non-ca:inibals are sandwiched together very indiscriminately. Mr, Chalmers paid a visit to a very prosper­ ous race of these gentlemen at Baldhead Point, which is the center of the sage­ producing country. It is also abundantly supplied with pigs, and a few miles up the river are kangaroos and cassowaries. An account of this visit will be told in a I book which Mr. Chalmers lias in hand, but I may mention one or two facts. Since the days of Helen of Troy a woman has ever been a causa belli. A woman is generally the cause of the inter-tribal conflicts which are ever raging. This, perhaps, is owing to the extraordinary marriage laws of the peo­ ple. It is supposed that the custom of can­ nibalism was imported from some of the neighboring islands. The legend goes that some sixty years ago, c-fter a cer­ tain battle, a chief, out of bravado, cut a portion out of another chief who was slain, threw it into the pot, and ate it. When tiie burying party came and asked for the dead body he said scoffingly: “I have eaten it.” This joke led to reprisals, and the custom spread to the mainland. However that may be, “long pig” is a favorite plat in a state menu. “I found,” said Mr. Chalmers, “these cannibals of Baldhead Point are the moBt agreeable fellows in the world.” “Then you were not afraid of being put in the pot yourself?” “Not a bit of it. I went so far as to ask them if tiiey had any such inten­ tions. The chief, with a smile (not a hungry one) said that they did not care fbr white man. They had tried him, but he was not good. Of course, they might prefer white man to no man at all; but, as a matter of fact, ‘long pig’ orgies are few and far between. They are like plum-pudding at Christmas—very good once a yeur."—Tall Mall Gazette Interview. The Great Journalist«. “To the young journalist of to-day," said Maj. George F.

Arab. The Arab looks very well on horse­ back, though he might not altogether suit the taste of the shires. His saddle is generally red, peaked before and lie­ hind, and placed upon several colored felt saddle clothes; the stirrup broad­ ens out so as to give a wide space for the foot to rest on; it is pointed at the corners, thereby enabling the rider to tear the horse’s ribs even without the aid of a pointed stick or a steel spear­ like spur which he often pushes in be­ tween his slipper and the stirrup side. The Arab soldier, with his white burn­ ous fluttering behind him, his high red saddle and saddle clothes, his knees high and body bent forward, with his long silver mounted gun flourishing in the air, looks, as he gallops forward in a cloud of dust, the very embodiment of the picturesque, exultant war spirit of past ages, not sobered down byecientifio formulas for murder, but free to carry out his own b'oodthirsty purposes with as much swagger and ostentation as possible.
