Two days had elapsed since our heroine’s arrival, and still the rain continued to ,I,i nd. Already homesick, longing for tl ii. familiar scenes left behind, the gloomy w< idle r made her yet more doleful. Not ~.r \ :md of reading, the indoor, coinpan p.nl’.life proved exceedingly weari -5,,me. Mr. Gibbs had called, and attempt ed xplain the condition of the estate, i, u t she was no business woman, as she strenuously averred, and didn’t care to In. bothered. She told him that she suji („,»edhewas honest, and if he wasn’t, '(hv she had no one dependent upon her Mr ,that boy had taken himself off. In lad. -Miss Littlejohn felt cross towards a',, r lawyer, for she thought that he was to be he'id responsible for his disappear ance; therefore, she assumed some of her housekeeper’s dignity. He told her, how ever, that there were certain papers which she must find and hand to him, and that he would annoy her as little as possi ble. Moreover, that he was flattered by hui oiiiidence, and looped he would merit it; also that he regretted the disappoint ment which she had received in young Lester’s departure, but thought it best not to apprize her of it for fear she would not come, and that her presence was nee ish iry unless she intended to lease the plantation. With a few more set phrases concerning the weather, etc., he brought his visit to a close, and Miss Lit tlejohn was left alone with her dismal thoughts for company. <)ld Chloe had been busy in her depart ment, and Miss Wells considered idleness an unpardonable crime, and hence was never at leisure. So the two days had dragged slowly by to the new mistress of Littlejohn Hall. In vain had she en deavored to interest herself in work of some description, but she soon perceived that Miss Wells thought any participation as an infringement upon her duty, so she desisted. Knitting was tiie next resort, but the needles must have been similarly affected, for in what ever direction Miss Littlejohn wished to turn them, the opposite one seemed to lie their preference; thus that was likewise abandoned. The house was visited throughout—each room several times— but even the pictures had lost their charm, and the lady was sorely tempted to order the carriage, drive to the station, and take the next train tor home. But that looked weak-minded, and a woman who didn’t know her own mind, and would not be satisfied, was an abhorrence ' ar friend. That morning when she discovered that the sun still persistently refused to shine, she thought of the papers, and re solved to employ some of her idle mo ments in searching for them. A certain drawer of the secretary in the sitting room had been suggested by Mr. Gibbs as their probable lurking place, so Miss Lit tlejohn, having finished her breakfast, af ter looking forth from the window upon the streams of water flowijig through the yard for some time, at length seated her self before the desk and began her arduous task. Bundle after bundle was brought to light; opened, perused, and placed back again; several were lain upon the case. A small package among other things was brought from its hiding place; shared the same fate, as far as its perusal was con cerned. but unlike the rest was neither consigned to the top of the desk or to its former home within. It contained two letters and a small daguerreotype of a lady, the image of the one taken'with the children which decorated the mantel above. A small lock of dark-brown hair was also placed between the folds of the epistles. Miss Littlejohn had stumbled upon the romance ot her cousin’s life, and leaving her work, she took an easy chair, and rolled it beside a window for the bet ter inspection of this interesting bundle. Who, in the outside world, would have believed that the cold, callous master of Littlejohn Hall had ever felt a heart-throb for any human being? When, to the amazement of all who knew him, he took to his gloomy home an orphan child, which of them thought it anything more than an eccentric whim of which he would soon repent? Who would have believed that it was for a woman’s sake? A bachelor’s life from preference everyone thought was his. Who would have lielieved that in early life he had en deavored to entwine a lovely presence around his dark, forbidding life, the beau ty and symmetry of which might have caused the gloom to vanish, and lent a brighter aspect to it. After gazing for a long while at the no ble, womanly face, Miss Littlejohn opened one of the letters, and read thus: Arlington, September 5, 18—. “My Dear, Dear Friend—lt pains me more than you possibly imagine to write the following. You know, however, that duty prompts it, and to it 1 must sacri fice the sweetest dream of my life. My best-beloved friend, 1 cannot listen longer to your suit, for the three little children, whoso lately have been so doubly orphan ed by the death of m y only brother, need my undivided attention, lam aware that generosity will cause you to offer your as sistance, but I could never burden any man with my relatives. “My heart is clamoring loudly for your love, but duty points to a rougher path, which, although far less lovely to me. will, nevertheless, reward me in’ the end by a well satisfied conscience. "You will reproach me with bitter in vectives, and say you have no faith in woman; but—oh, Rufus! —only God knows the terrible anguish of this hour. May He forever bless you is the earnest prayer of yours until death. “Clara E. Lester.’’ The second bore a more recent date, and was written in a different handwriting. Alter pondering for some time over the contents of the other. Miss Littlejohn turned her attention to this: Arlington, September 12, 18—. “ Vr. L’ufus Littlejohn: Dear Sir—lt becomes my painful task to inform you of the death of our mutual friend, Miss Clara Lester. She fell, in the bloom of a noble womanhood, a victim to the fearful scourge which has for some time past spread its appalling presence over our town. “Although urged by warning friends, •Mie would not leave her post; lint night and day could be seen beside the sick and ’lying, administering to their comfort, or ’■losing their eyes in that slumber whose waking is not here. Her little neices were among the first who died before the disease was fully known, and it is in reference to her nephew's future that I write to you. “Intimately acquainted with Clara from her earliest childhood, 1 know of no "ne with whom she would rather trust this idol. During her illness the time allotted to her was too short to think ot any plan for his support. Since her de mise, he has been staying with us. and we would gladly keep him it ourscanty means would permit ; but since our reverses, the remnant of our property remaining to us barely supports the seven little ones God Las already given to us. Clarence has • -•ajvo’l the sickness, and seems perfectly "ell. Let me hear immediately any sug gestion concerning the littleorphan's wel fare which you can make, and oblige yours very truly. Hannah L. Carr.’’ Now at last Miss Littlejohn had theclue to the history. Incompliance with this lady’s request, for the sake of a woman, on whose account he had led a solitary life, he had. without one word ot his in tentions to anyone, gone to this place, in which were so many desolated homes, and to the astonishment ot all who knew him, had brought home with him a little curly-haired boy named Clarence Lester. -Many wondered at this eccentric whim of the dose, reserved man; no one knew of the promptings of his heart. Tears stood in his cousin's eyes as she pictured the man whom all thought de void of affection, standing, with head un covered, beside a newly-made grave. Per haps no crystal drops fell upon it; per haps no moan rent the air; but she thought that the constancy which kept him true to the one love of his life must have rung its mournful knell in his aching heart, as he stood beside all that remained of his lost love. Somehow Miss Littlejohn fell into a softer mood. To-day, as never before, had she experienced so much kind feeling for ‘Entered according to act of Congress m the i ear 1883 by J. H. Estill, in the office of the .ibrarian of Congress, at Washington. her cold and dfstant relative. He must have suffered, and in his loneliness had, no doubt, brooded over his trouble until ,it made him morbid. But alas! for the i orphan boy. whom he bad sheltered for so many years, he had driven him from that home which he had given him and made him a wanderer. At this thought Miss Littlejohn’s tears vied with the rain with out in their copious flow. At length she refolded the letters, placed the package in the drawer, and locking it, resumed her seat lieside the window to think over the scenes which the perusal of these let ters had invoked. lor in her own heart there was a grave of buried hopes, and to-dav she reviewed her own past which had glided forever by The time slipped away, and soon the large ball clock chimed the hour for din ner. and Miss Littlejohn awoke from her dreamy reverie to the realities of every day life. opened her eyes upon the world the next morning, she found to her great delight that a tiny sunbeam was struggling to force its way into her dark ened room through a narrow crevice in the blind. She forthwith unclosed the blinds, and immediately the chamber was flooded with the golden light. During the first portion ot the day she visited the garden, poultry-yard, kitchen, etc. Everything was in perfect order— I’r* l , l ? an d Precise in appearance as Miss Wells. Even the well-fed fowls walked in a stately, dignified manner, as if it was unbecoming their station to run about like ordinary chickens. Old Chloe was charmed when Miss Lit tlejohn condescended to take a seat in her domain. Her tongue was loosened, and she talked freely of the times when the youthful Clarence would steal away from the dreary house to the kitchen and play with her nephew; bow delighted he would be when, from some biding place, she would bring some pie or other dessert, and he could eat it unreservedly away from the table, unwatched by the keen eyes of the master, who considered sweetmeats as unhealthy, and consequently banished them from his repast. Then she pointed to a large Newfound land dog, which had been a true friend to the lonely boy; a sad look seemed to rest upon the face of the line-looking canine. Perhaps he missed the familiar form. Miss Littlejohn, although afraid of the animal, allowed her hand to rest a few moments upon his shaggy head for the sake of the absent one. Thus the fore noon wore away, and a few hours after ward dinner was announced, after which our heroine decided to saunter forth for a short walk. Throwing a red shawl across her shoulders, for the rain had left the at mosphere somewhat chilly, she started down the road. Although exceedingly damp underfoot, everything was bright, and the trees, with the raindrops still hanging upon them, glistened in the sun light as if their branches were loaded with diamonds. Miss Littlejohn walked leisurely along for some time, enjoying the country land scape, listening to the carols of the joy ous birds flying from bough to bough. Suddenly, however, her pleasure was abruptly terminated, for turning, upon hearing a noise behind, she beheid a num ber of cows coming at full speed down the hill. Terrified, she gazed around for some shelter, but saw none. The farms upon either side were protected from the incursions of cattle by fences; so casting her fiery wrap upon the ground,she did the first thing which suggested itself to her, which was to run as quickly as her stout form would permit down the road tor a little while until a side path presented itself, which led to a small cottage a short distance back frem the main road. Panting under this unusual exercise, with a face as crimson as her discarded shawl, Miss Littlejohn entered this haven.' So relieved was she at the thought of being out of danger, that she did not think of her strange appearance until an elderly woman arose from a rocking-chair in one corner of the room and said good evening. .Miss Littlejohn’s voice at first refused to give utterance to any sound, and the wearied body sank down upon a seat near the door. The old lady, seeing something unusual had happened to her unknown visitor, offered her a large fan, and brought from a rear room a glass of cool water. In a few moments Miss Littlejohn re gained her composure sufficiently to ex plain the cause of her fright. “Those were Mr. Elliot’s cows; they wouldn't have troubled you,” said the old lady. “But they were running right at me, and I wore a red shawl,” gasped Miss Littlejohn. “They are very gentle,” replied the other; “our Mike ’tends them, and I’ve often told him he shouldn’t run them down the hill, but he says he can’t help it, they will do it. But I expect it is his fault, be cause he is always in a hurry. I shall tell him he frightened a lady, and it will make him more careful in future.’’ There was something very gentle and refined in the aged face of this' old lady. Miss Littlejohn felt convinced that she had seen it before, and determined to as certain where. ,Tust at that moment our friend, in casting her eyes about the department, discovered a boyish form seated beside a window in a chair whose back was turned to her. “Is that your son?” she inquired. “No, madam, he is my grandson,” she replied, and added in an undertone: “He is lame, and quite sensitive about it. ” “What does your son do?” asked Miss Littlejohn, desirous of becoming better ac quainted. “He is the overseer at the Littlejohn place just up the road,” said the old ladv, with conscious pride. “He has been working there for over twenty years. The master died a few weeks ago, and his cousin lives there now. She is a lady. You are a stranger around here, 1 sup pose ?” “Yes,” said our heroine, “I have only been here a few days. So you are Hen derson’s mother, and I am Miss Little john. I hope your son will remain in mv service as long as in that of mv deceased relative.” There was a slight movement on the part of the occupant of the chair beside the window at this announcement, which did not escape Miss Littlejohn’s notice. Mrs. Henderson said she felt glad that their poor home had been thus honored. Miss. Littlejohn replied that she had heard that Henderson had a family, and had intended to come and see them, but re gretted that her first visit had been under such trying circumstances. But Mrs. Henderson was delighted that she had found refuge there. “How many have you in family ?” in quired Miss Littlejohn. “My son, his five children and myself.” replied the old lady. “His wife died sev eral years ago, and I’ve beeu keeping house for him ever since.” “How many boys are there?” continued the interrogator. ’ “Two, and three girls,” answered the other. “I expect you will have to make me a present of one of the girls,” said the visi tor; “I am so lonely up at the house. Miss Wells is always busy, and I need another person around especially to wait on me.” “Elsie would be delighted,” andjt grat ified smile illumined the care-worn face. “She is the eldest.” “When 1 came here,” resumed the visi tor, keeping a vigilant watch upon the chair beside the window, “1 hoped to have had a companion in young Lester. True, 1 am getting along in age now, but still I love voung people, and intended to be his friend. He, however, has gone away, and I feel undecided what to do.” “He was a nice lad,” said the meek and gentle woman, “and a great friend of Moses’ here.” Perhaps Moses did not feel like listening to this conversation any longer, at any rate be laid aside the book winch he had been perusing, and arising from his seat, with the assistance of a cane, limped to the door, making a slight bow to Miss Lit tlejohn as he passed out. “He can’t bear to hear master Clarrie’s name mentioned,” said his grandmother, in a low tone. “He is a queer boy, and we can’t understand him; he doesn’t of ten take a fancy, but when he does, it’s for life. He almost worships master Clar rie. He got his lameness through serving him. lie (master Clarrie) went bathing in the river, and got beyond his depth and was drowning. Moses swam out to him, and being smaller, it was a long time be fore he could get him ashore. Staying in the water so long brought on inflammato ry rhumatism, and for three years he was in bed. During that time the healthy leg grew and the other did not. Master Clar rie seemed to think a great deal of him too; he came to see him every day while he was sick. He used to teach him. and when lie came home from college in the vacations be would take it up again. I think that is why he is so fond of his liook. It almost broke his heart when master Clarrie went away.” “Does he know where he has gone?" in quired Miss Littlejohn. “I can't tell.” replied the worthy wo man. “He never talks about him, and if he gets any letters he never shows them. 1 think, however, that he is more cheerful now, and probably he has heard some thing; at any rate, he is very quiet about it. When master Clarrie came to tell us good-bye, I asked him where he was going, and why be left.” - “What did he say?” eagerly inquired her listener. “He said he had nothing to do here, that his uncle had east a stain upon his char acter by his treatment, that he wouldn’t be dependent upon a lady for his sup port, that he hadn't any plans lor the fu ture. and never Intended to return to Hill side." Miss Littlejohn looked dismayed and thoughtful. Casting her eyes towards one of the windows she saw that the sun had set, and the deepening gloom warned her of the approach of night. Hastily arising, she bade the old lady good evening, told her that she would come again soon, and if at any time she could be of assistance to call upon her. The old lady thanked her with a pleas ant smile, and, perceiving the lateness of the hour, said: “You had better go the back wav; it is nearer.” “But I might get lost, as I do not know i it,” said Miss Littlejohn. “I will send Moses with you,” said her companion, as she saw her grandson com ing towards the house. And calling him. she told him she wished him to escort Miss Littlejohn home. “Thank you very much,” returned our friend, as she extended her hand and grasped that of her overseer’s mother, rendered rough by hard work. -I shall certainly come again soon. In the mean time good evening.” Moses, without intimating that the walk would be a pleasure, limped silently along a few steps in advance, opened the back gate, and closed it carefully after she had passed through. Miss Littlejohn saw that he regarded her in an unfavora ble light; considered her perhaps as a usurper who had driven his friend from his rights. Miss Littlejohn always jumped at conclusions, and she had not walked two dozen y ar jl s .ketore she felt convinced that this boy disliked her because she had in herited her cousin’s estate. She con versed. as they walked along, of the farm, weather, etc., but her taciturn escort an swered only in monosyllables. At length they reached the yard gate of Miss Little john’s new abode, and Moses, having per formed his mission with a very ill-grace, was about to depart, when his companion arrested him, saying: “Your grandmother told me that you were fond ot reading: I see that there are a good many books in the library here which would benefit vou. You can have them whenever you like.” The boy was nervously twisting his cane during the conversation as if im patient of the delay, and in uncertain light Miss Littlejohn saw a sarcastic smile rest momentarily upon his features, and she felt confident that he would never open another volume rather than accept a favor from her. She recognized another tact, viz: that in this boy was a most powerful ally who could assist her in finding the orphan youth towards whom her heart had gone forth in the wealth of its generous love. So she resolved to use every means to conciliate him in order to further her designs. Thus when Moses, alter a scarcely audible “thank you,” was about to leave, she stepped forward, and placing her hand tenderly upon his shoulder said: “1 had a mother once who died when he was just 18, and I have always loved all boys ever since for his sake;'he was so noble and true. If Clarence had only remained here with me, 1 would have loved him so much, for 1 haven’t anyone to care for now. You must let me help vou all that I can, for I know that you love him, and I would have done so too if he had only permitted it. 1 did not wish to rob him of his rights, and really think my cousin wronged him by acting as he did. You must help me to get him to re turn, for I tell you earnestly that I am no hypocrite, and I mean what 1 say.” The boy hung his head as if ashamed, and when the speaker lifted her hand, glided into the woods without a word. Still she did not feel wholly discouraged, for she knew that if once she could over come his prejudice, no truer friend could she find than the faithful little crip ple of Hillside. . chapter' VIII. Ihe second Sunday dawned—a day worthy ot its sacredness. The sun, in its brilliancy and glory, smiled upon the world. Miss Littlejohn determined upon going to church, and consequently order ed the carriage. Soon its antiquated form stood before the front entrance, and not long afterward the mistress took her seat upon its faded cushions. The little stone sanctuary, with the ivy clinging to its outside walls in picturesque loveliness, was speedily reached. A gentleman, standing in the vestibule, recognizing the Littlejohn equipage, conducted its occu pant to the family pew. It was early, and the lady had ample time to survey the surroundings. Everything was plain, but in exquisite taste. The stained-glass memorial win dows told of many faithful hearts that had long ceased their beating, of whose loving deeds they were a bright record. Mural tablets also bore witness to the light of many, which had so shown before men that others seeing their good works, had glorified that Father that reigneth above. Soon began the beautiful and impressive service. The healing words of the aged minister fell like balm upon many weary hearts that lovely day. Miss Littlejohn, sitting alone in the high-back pew where many of her ancestors had sat before, listened with profound interest to the words of love and pardon which fell from the lips of God’s ambassador. The sermon was finished; outside could be heard the chirping of some happy bird; within all was stillness. The minister’s gentle voice at length broke the quiet, and its tremulous tones told its tale of woe, as he said: “I am requested to announce that the funeral of little Bessie Douglas will take place from this church to-morrow after noon at half-past four o’clock. It is with great sorrow,” he continued, “that the stranger, who so recently has come amongst us, has relinquished her darling; but we pray God that where her treasure is there may her heart be also, and that after life’s troublesome journey they may be reunited in a blissful eternity.” Miss Littlejohn’s heart beat rapidly—to think that the earnest, grey eyes would never again look forth upon earth; to think that the sorrowing mother would have no one now to banish the tears. She recalled the little one’s determina tion to assist that noble parent some day when the tiny fingers could perform their work. They had met too late! How of ten since her arrival had she pictured to herself the many happy moments they would spend together. Even the day pre vious, perhaps while death's angel was hovering over her, she had thought of go ing to hunt her little fellow-traveler. Well—she had found her without that trouble. How she recalled the sweet voice which said “I will love you.” How lonely must be the mother, who now owned five small mounds—all that re mained of her children. Perchance no one noticed the tears which streamed from the stranger’s eyes. If so, no doubt the observer thought that they were called forth by her appearance in the church where the mortal remains of her relative had so recently reposed. Back into her carriage Miss Littlejohn went; back to the lonely white house on the hill she was driven. Lonelier now than ever it seemed. She felt, ah! such sympathy for that broken heart robbed of its only earthly treasure. The next afternoon in the same pew Miss Littlejohn might have beeu seen. Upon the seat beside her was a wreath of white flowers—so pure, so fair—a sweet emblem of the sweet young life just passed away. The organ pealed forth a mournful strain; the minister, in his white robes, walked slowly up the aisle. Six young lads bearing something dark between them covered with flowers followed in his train, and deposited their precious bur den upon two chairs in front of the altar. A woman's form clothed in a widow’s weeds bent in keenest anguish, supported on either side by a gentleman and lady, walked just behind this casket with its costly jewel. All this Miss Littlejohn be held through the mist which had gathered in her eyes. Not a moan escaped the compressed lips of the solitary mourner. The service was completed, and again the white-robed minister passed in front of that group of boys with their lovely frieght out into the sunshine, which had so suddenly lost its glow; through the village streets it went, followed by a silent procession, headed by that half-bowed form leaning upon tiie arms of its two supporters. At length the cemetery was reached; through its open portal the long line advanced until beside an open grave it paused. Down, down into the soft earth the little coffin was gently lowered; the spades performed their 'office, and a mound appeared where the opening had so recently been. The grief-stricken mourner, gazing upon it in stony silence, saw the stout form of a middle-aged lady step forward through the crowd and approaching that newly-made grave, place upon it a wreath of whitest flowers. As she turned away, the dark eyes of Miss Littlejohn rested upon the marble face, and in that instant the crushed woman recognized the stranger of whom her little darling had been prattling; the lady whom the tiny one had indicated as they left the train together, and in whom she felt some in terest excited by the continued chatter of the child of the dear lady who was com ing to see them so soon. The bright-blue heavens above, the green graves with their white head-boards, the one just com pleted. all faded from this woman's view, and the darkness of night swam before her eyes. One moment she peered through it, then everything vanished, and the lady and gentleman held a dead weight be tween them, for the poor music teacher had fainted. Miss Littlejohn re-entered her carriage, and was borne to her lonely mansion. How changed everything seemed; how dark the sunlight appeared; how sad were the songs of the birds; what a gloom was thrown over all nature! In the momen tary view of that bereaved face what signs ot agony had she seen. Long after the sun had sunk to rest, and while thejsilvery moon gazed down from the sapphire sky did that agonized expression haunt her. She felt that she would do anything in her power to con sole her. They were bound together by a tie. Had she not known and loved the lit tle Bessie? Had they not as strangers come to make their home in Hillside? beneath. Miss Littlejohn passed in front ot it, scrutinized’it critically, and with evident satisfaction placed her tribute of affec tion upon the mound. Having gazed thoughtfully upon it for some time, she left this hallowed spot and wandered in another direction. A few moments after ward a tall form robed in sombre weeds occupied the same spot where our friend had so recently stood. With a start of surprise the lonely mother gazed upon the tombstone; from her astonishment it could not have l>een any work of here. Miss Littlejohn, herself unseen, stand ing at a short distance beheld the bereaved woman kneel down and kiss the name, then burying her face in her hands heard her sob audibly. Sympathetic, impulsive, kind-hearted. Miss Littlejohn rushed hastiiy forward and knelt beside her and encircled her with her arms, and pressed the shapely head, crowned with its raven tresses, upon her loving bosom, while her tears flowed in unison. [TO BE CONTINUED.] ZUNI SONGS AND LEGENDS. Traveling on a Railway Train with a Band of Zunis. Correspondence Boston Herald. While waiting for our car to be attached to tne Atlantic and Pacific train. I sud denly caught sight of a band ot Indians in the darkness which obscured the plat form. They were my acquaintances, the Zunis, and with them were Mr. and Mrs. Cushing and her sister, on their way back from Santa Fe. My friend invited the three back into his car, and presently we started. Mr. Cushing took us 'into the car occupied by the Zunis to hear some of their peculiar songs, It was a strange scene. As one monotonous rhyth mical chant followed another, their duskv faces grew more intense. Their eyes flashed in the shadows, and when their war song rang out with its deep under current and shrill shrieks ot raze and vengeance, the Indians half rose to their feet ai. made fierce gestures, carried away by . .e spirit of their words. Then an answering yell peaied out beneath the car windows. We had reached the Isleta pueblo, and the Isletas had recognized the Zuni song. The train rolled on and the Zunis broke into a comic song, several rising and standing in the isle while thev beat time with their hands and feet. 'Within the dimly lighted car were brown arms sway ing, dark eyes glittering and the gut tural accents of the singers, while with out a fiery stream of sparks like shooting stars swept by the windows as the train rushed on, and beyond were glimpses of peaks and cliffs and the onyx-like sky. Then we returned to opr own car. The ladies retired. We three sat in the rear end of the car far into the night, watching the ghostly shapes that rose into view as the moon came up, pausing under the shadow of the Laguna pueblo, noting the mountain peaks bathed in the wonderful moonlight of this land, hurried on through silent wastes, white as though cloaked with snow, feeling as though we were penetrating some strange and silent elfin land. Meantime we listened to the legends of the people who have so long dwelt about us. Mr. Cushing told us how, according to the Navojos, the blood of a giant killed in light had scorched this land and laid it waste, while the Zunis have another legend. We saw the milky way above us, which the Zunis call “the great snowdrift of the sky,” while they term the rainbow “the glory that surrounds the world.” I think we shall all remember that wild night ride, and the talk in which we shared. But finally we, too, sought our berths. My friend and myself slept heavi ly, and when we awoke the sun was shin ing and we were alone. We had long passed Wingate, the destination of our companions, and they had left us. Pinned to the table by Zuni arrows were their cards bearing words of greeting and fare well. In Japanese Hotels. Boston Transcript. The front of the house is entirely open to the street in the daytime. What serves for the office is in the front room. The kitchen is also in front. One will nearly always see a list of prices for lodging hung in the neighborhood of the kitchen. As you ride by a hotel on a hot dav it looks very inviting. If the house be a large one, you will see room after room stretching backward. In the centre of the house is an open court, in which is a Japanese garden, such as no one else can make. Rockeries of old and curiously shaped rocks, plants and flowers artis tically arranged, and sometimes a little pond with goldfish. The parlor is the back room of the house. There is really very little difference in rooms, as none of them have one solitary piece of furniture. The wood work of a parlor is sometimes very pretty, and there are pictures, with sometimes a poem written in large characters on silk, hanging on the walls. These rooms are generally scrupulously clean. The floors of all Japanese houses are covered with thick straw mate. On entering a hotel (or any house), your shoes must come off. A Japanese never wears anything heavier than a stocking while in the house. Wherever there is any woodwork in the floor, it is kept highly polished, as are also the verandas, which are an indis pensable accompaniment to a hotel, as it is by them that the various rooms are reached. The wood is so smooth that it will show a scratch, or the mark made by a nail in the shoe, as easily as a polished table would do so. On arriving at a hotel you are shown to a room, and a girl waiter immediately brings tea and cake. The Japanese cus tom is to give a little present of money at this time; a greater or less sum, accord ing to the amount of attention you may demand. The prices of lodging are generally fixed at stated sums for first, second and third class lodgers. This price includes sup per, breakfast and lodging. Guests do not remain in a hotel during the day, ex cepting at the summer or nealth resorts. By 8 o’clock in the morning the hotel is empty. Meals are invariably served in the different rooms. This requires a large number of waiting girls. Food is served on small, low tables, just raised from the floor. The price of first class lodging (with meals) is about 36 cents. That is to Japanese. Foreign ers are charged for room rent and for all the food served. Last July I put up at a hotel oyer night. My Japanese teacher was with me. He had one parlor and I had another. Our food, rooms, bedding were precisely alike. He was charged 45 sen tor lodging and room; 1 was charged 50 sen for room only, and in addition for every separate item of food. 1 refused to pay my bill, but finally was obliged to pay it, or I should have made myself a great deal of trouble. Most hotels prefer not to take foreigners at any price. Os course where we are served with chairs, table and a bed, we are willing to pav extra for them. But you seldom find these articles except on the main roads of travel. One must be tired in order to sleep on the floor, lying on one thick blanket, with an other similar one for a cover. There is no possible way to fasten the room at night. There are no doors like our doors. The division between rooms, as well as between the room and the out er veranda, is nothing but paper: paper sliding-doors, which can be lifted out of their grooves with the greatest of ease, converting the house into one large room. I have slept for a number of nights in a room, all four sides of which could be taken away, in five minutes’ time, and which of course could be opened bv anv one. Strange as it may seem, the're is very seldom anything like robbery. Things must be left about the room, as one cannot put all his possessions under the pillow. Telegragh Item. Utica, June 9, 1883. Frank W. Hoffman, clerk of the Ameri can District Telegraph Company, save: “Having had occasion to use a medicine for kidney trouble with a lame back, 1 was recommended by one of our Utica druggists to use Hunt’s Remedy, as he had sold a good deal of it to many of our leading families here with great success for kidney, liver and urinary troubles. I purchased some, and have only used three bottles. It has cured me, and I can truly recommend Hunt’s Remedy to any one in need of the best medicine for these com plaints.” The Widow's Mite. In compliance with your request I send you a statement of my case. I will write you with a double purpose; first, to thank you for the great amount of good your medicine—“ Hunt's Remedy”—has done me, and secondly, with the hope that my recovery will induce some sufferer to do as I did. “use the great specific and be cured.” For nearly a whole year I was an invalid, unable to go out of the house, and a great part of the time confined to my bed. a living, powerless subject of the most dreadful of all diseases, “kidney complaint.” From the long suffering 1 became weak from the loss of strength, with a lack of vitality, and very much re duced in flesh. All this time I was taking various medicines, and under the care of our family doctor, and not receiving a particle of help. I had almost despeired of getting well when my attention was called to Hunt's Remedy by a boarder in my family. I commenced taking ii (un known to theldoctor) with but little hopes of relief. This non-belief was soon dis pelled. however, as I daily began to im prove. I continued the' use of Hunt's Remedy (and to make a long story short), used eight bottles, dispensed with the doctor, and to the surprise of all who knew me, and my own great satisfaction, became as well as ever. All pains and aches vanished, ap petite returned, gained strength and flesh, and to-day consider myself as well as ever, and only too glad to place my testi mony with that of many others. That your medicine, “Hunt’s Remedy,” brought me from a sick bed 1 well know, and many people who know of my condition pronounce my cure almost miraculous, i am happy to say I am enjoying excel lent health, thanks to your valuable med icine, Hunt’s Remedy.' Mrs. L. W. Clark, | 109 Main Street. Hartford, Conn., May 21, 1883. THE FIELD AND RING. EVENTS OF THE WEEK IN THE SPORTING WORLD. The Madison Square Horse Show—The Close of the Racine Season at Jerome Park—Notes and Dots from English Fields—The Oar and Shell. The substantial success of the great Madison Square horse show in New York must be a gratification to those who in augurated the enterprise. It was the idea of a coterie of gentlemen who are equine enthusiasts, and have plenty of means and influence to carry such a scheme to a suc cessful conclusion. A good deal of pains was taken in the beginning to have every thing properly organized, the stock was readily subscribed for, and it was soon found that there was abundant promise of support from horsemen throughout the country. Notwithstanding its success, the management of the show is criticised as being too largely in the bunds of those who are fond of imitating English man ners—and English bad manners in many cases—to suit an Ameri can climate and American ideas and please an American public. The English element should not be neg lected, by any means, in an affair of this kind, but it will never again have the prominence that it did in this instance, in such an enterprise, without causing an utter failure. Many of the criticisms are being made upon various features ot the manner of management that will doubt less be regarded in a future fair. During the progress of the show interest in other events of the turf diminished and it was the great attraction. The trotting season being nearly closed in the North, it was but natural that horsemen should turn their attention there. On Tuesday the legitimate racing sea son will be brought to a close at Jerome Park and the events of the year will be matters of history. Sporting Notes. It is stated that the Secretary and manager of the St. Louis Base Ball Cliib next season will receive a salary of $3,000. Maud S. will be wintered at Chester Park, Cincinnati, under the management of Capt. George N. Stone, her former owner. Wallace Ross has accepted Conley’s chal lenge for a 3-mile race for SI,OOO a side. The I'Bce will be rowed four weeks from the time of the signing of the articles. William Elliott, ex-champion sculler of England, intends visiting his native country shortly. He has sent over a challenge offering to row any North countryman on the I yne river, for SI,OOO a side. A novel race between a pony and a pigeon took place at Bedworth, Eng., recently, the former galloping half a mile and the latter flying a mile. A good start was made, the starter standing half way between the pigeon and the pony. After a most exciting race the bird won by 80 yards. Advices from London, England, state that there was some dispute between Walton, the owner of Girofle, and the trainer, Day. con cerning her running in the Cesarewiteh Stakes race. At first it was alleged that Girofle was poisoned, and a veterinary sur geon examined her and said nothing was wrong. Dwyer Bros, have lined their pockets this year to the tune of SIOO,OOO. Their eight years’ turf experience has brought them $400,000. Their winnings at the recent Lou isville meeting were $19,738. which is more than SIO,OOO in excess of the winnings of the stable of Bowen & Co., next in order of suc cess at Louisville. Arrangements have been perfected by Col onel Barbour for a shooting match to take place at Louisville, Ky., next year, at the regular meeting of the Louisville Sporting Club. The match is to be for the champion ship of the world and a $2,000 cup. It is to be a gentleman’s match, open to the world. In addition to the cup, a purse of $5,000, divided into about ten classes, will be shot for. Footlight Flashes. “The Rajah” continues at the Madison Square Theatre until December. Miss Anna Dickinson is said to have de cided not to try to play Hamlet any more this season. Miss Minnie Conway appeared on October 27 for the last time with the Union Square Theatre Company. On April 4 Lawrence Barrett will appear at Mr. Henry Irving’s London theatre, the Lyceum, in “Yorick’s Love.” Salvini is to make a farewell of the stage in Italy, beginning November 4. He will in clude the United States in this final tour. Miss Emily Faithfull’s first lecture for the season will be given at Chickering Hall, New Y ork, Nov. 9. Subject—“ Modern Shams.” “The Rajah” will enter the sixth month of its run in a few days at the Madison Square Theatre. The comedy is still highly popular. Between June 1 and October 1 over $2,400 has been expended from the actors’ fund for the relief of sixty-nine memliers of the pro fession. Miss Agnes Booth has signed a contract for the season at the new Park Theatre, New Y'ork, and Charles Frohman has made an ar ragement with the same theatre to furnish the productions. The success of Miss Georgia Cay van in “La Belle Russe,” the last week, has elicited a proposition to the young artist for a starring tour under the management of Gustave and Charles Frohman. At the bauquet tendered to Dion Bouci cault at San Francisco on Sunday evening last, the persons assembled were obliged to proceed to dinner without their guest, who was seized with a severe attack of rheuma tism. Miss Jeffries Lewis on Thursday last signed a contract with Mr. John A. Stephens, by which she is to star in several popular plays under his management. Miss Lewis will begin a six weeks’ engagement in San Fran cisco in December next. The souvenir commemorating the one hun dred and fiftieth representation of “Esmer alda” at the Madison Square Theatre was a handsome square tile on which was executed an idealized head of Annie Russell. The tile was cast from a model made by Elihu Vedder. Lotta is preparing to play in tjie French language in one of the Paris theatres early during the coming winter. She first appears in “Bob,” which, like all her plays, has been translated into French. She has just paid Mr. Edward E. Kidder s3,ooofor a new piece. Fashion N otes. Plain dark velvets are to be much used for ball wraps and opera cloaks. Fanciful pins of pearls, diamonds or colored stones are stuck in the bow of velvet in which bonnet strings are now tied under the chin. High-shouldered capes entirely covered with cone-shaped or pointed bits of chenille are worn with dressy costumes at afternoon weddings. Petticoats of colored flannel with em broidery or knitted wool lace are more used than any white flannel skirts, and the woven gored skirts are now also shown in scarlet, pink and pale blue as well as white. Silk Cardigan jackets are imported to wear under cloaks and jackets of extra warmth, and are luxuriously soft and fine. They are woven in ribs that make them cling to the figure, are sleeveless and have small square pockets on the back. There is quite a rage this season for the small French cap bonnet and the toque of vel vet. or matching the color and material of the costume. Wall flowers or shaded velvet ger aniums are set in half wreaths around the edge of the cap, or in one large cluster at the side. Bordered veils of black and of white lace are again in fashion. They are very short, reaching just to the chin—not below it—and have quite small figures, with a narrow bor der like a vine of leaves, or in Greek squares; the lower edge is curved, and the upper part is nearly if not quite straight. Striped velvets are shown for the petticoat fronts of dresses of plain velvet, and these have alternate stripes of light satin brocade; thus stripes of garnet velvet two inches wide are separated by wider stripes of cream satin with del blue figures, while dark-green vel vet stripes have satin bands of olive with dull red flowers. The novelty for petticoats this season is eider-down flannel, as it is called, with a light downy surface woven on white webbing for the back-ground. This comes in stripes of pink and blue with white, in solid shades of clean-looking scarlet, rose-and light blue, and also In dark, broad stripes of red, blue and orange together. This warm fabric is also used for dressing-sacqnes and for invalids’ wrappers on account of its great warmth. A new utility wrap has made its appe r ance. which is very suitable for shopping, travelling, and a protective covering from the autumn rains. It is of imported suiting, and will do very well indeed for an entire dress, to take the place of skirt and ulster. It fits the figure very snugly, and twelve very narrow pleats reach from the throat to the hem of the garment both front and back. Underneath these pleats behind is set a half belt which goes around in front, and from it depends a chatelaine attached to a velvet or leathei shopping bag. An elegant house jacket is made of pretty colored surah or satin, fn shape it is a loose princess with pagoda sleeves, trimmed richly with lace insertions and frills. A deep ruch ing is round the neck, and from this falls a wide scarf of white embroidered net, edged with lace, which scarf is then fastened by a handsome clasp to the waist, ami is then car ried to the centre of the back, where it is drawn up and fastened together bv a puli’ of lace and satin. A littie pocket-handkerchief of the same color, trimmed with the same lace, accompanies this jacket. THE SWEET GUM TREE Is Not Good only for Chewing Gum. Mr. Jos. Jacobs, a leading druggist at Athens. Ga.. writes: “Mrs. M. Myecs, of Elberton, Ga., the wife of a prominent merchant there, was in mv store this morning, and among other articles bought one-half dozen of your ‘Cherokee Reme dy of Sweet Gum and Mullein.’ She remarked that three months ago she had a terrible cough; tried each and every physician in Elberton, one or two in Au gusta, mentioning them by name. They made a signal failure in every instance. She became alarmed, thought consump tion inevitable, tried one-half dozen Bo sche’s German Syrup, one-fourth dozen Cherry Pectoral, and several other of the articles on the market known as expecto rants, cures, etc. Finally, a friend sent her a bottle of the ‘Cherokee Remedy.’ She tried it, and before the bottle was fin ished she had experienced more relief than all of the physicians and the other medicines combined afforded. She is now well, but keeps it in the house. I have her permission to use this.” Taylor’s Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum and Mullein for sale by all leading ■ druggists at 25 cents and $1 per boule.
