UKl> JIM THK ROBBER.
R a Dakota Road Agent Became a
Preacher In England.
•a a beautiful summer afternoon in the
. year I*TS, says the Kansas City Times, as
ia stage bound for Deadwood was near

lea halt, and before the passengers had
f*Hto to Inquire the cause they were start
'd by hearing the blood-curdling com
ts.tnd: ‘'Throw up your hands if you
value your life.” At the same time two
i*-n mounted the platform and covered
tns with two deadly-looking revolvers.
Wverr one obeyed with alacrity, for they
ali heard of the daring and bloody
•oette of Rod Jim, the Dakota road agent,
knew that to disobey meant instant
noath. Outside a robber held a cocked
foralTor on the driver, who was instruct
ed to keep his horses quiet; one oi the
•fccr men stood in the door of the coach,

"Lady, oblige me by handing me that

After all the passengers had been at

When he was out, the bandit u.

Bed Jim, thanking the driver for the way

drive on. When the stage turned the
•*end. about r* hundred yards away, Bed
.rm an-' his pole mounted their horse*
and rode off into the shadow of the woods,

That nigat as the bandits sat around

eearty lau;htrr. After they had finished
**lr ’supper of roast venison, bread and

'■Roy*. I have done so much hard work
t -day” it has given me a hearty appetite,
and 1 have really enjoyed my supper; in
'jpt, more than usual, and you all know
l iike a good deal of exercise generally.”
At this remark they all laughed hearti

’ - Jim. 1 don’t see how you stand so

\t this the laugh went round again.
•Bring the bag of things we got trorn

„ -ling down in front of the tire. “Here’s
tec old prospector's purso. 1 don’t know
tow much it contains, but 1 judge about

Charley brought the bag and
,it posited it in front ot Bed Jim, and, to

:itemseives on the ground.

.T.m, and opening the prospector’s wallet
he took out a large roil of bills and com

In the fall of 1883, while the writer was
traveling through England, he visited the
cutlery works of Sheffield, and while
there a triend insisted ou his accompany
ing him to a country meeting-house,
where there was a revival in progress.
The writer did so, and when the preacher
entered the pulpit he recognized Red Jim.
the once noted road agent of Dakota.
On inquiry he was informed that Brother
Raymond, for that was the name Red Jim
went by, had been preaching for three
years, and that he was beloved by every
one that knew him. And thus it was
that a mother’s picture was the cause of
a road agent’s reform. As for lied Jim’s
two pals, Scarface Charley and Limping

some miners whom they were trying to
rob.
KKGIBTKK BRUCE’S FORTUNE.
The Curious Career of the Negro Ex-
Senator, now Register of the Treasury.
The story or the fortune of Register of
the Treasury Bruce, says the New York
Mail and Express, is a curious one. He
was born in Virginia, and was a slave in
Mississippi at the time of the war. At
its close he went North to Oberlin, where
he got some education, and then drifted
South. Ho returned to Mississippi in the
height of reconstruction times, and ar
rived at Jackson when the Legisla
ture was Just being organized. He
at once put in a claim tor the office of
Sergeaat-at-Arms, and ah he was a plausi
ble fellow aud could sav the Lord’s
prayer without btllng his tongue, he was
elected. Bruce became an influential
factor about tho Legislature, and Alcorn,
the Governor of Mississippi, was glad to
have his friendship. One time Gov. Al
corn wanted the Legislature to make an
appropriation of $:>,000or so to the secret
service fund over which he had entire
control. He called Bruce to him. slapped
him on tho back and said: ”Mv man, yoa
are not making any money at all. You
deserve a better place. 1 appoint you
Sheriff of Bolivar county.” Of course
the secret service fund waa passed.
A few months more aud Alcorn again
sends for Bruce. At the close ol the in
terview he says: “The Sheriff’s office is
too small a place for you. 1 will make
you the Tax Collector of Bolivar county.”
Bruce saw his opportunity, saved his
money, became a manipulator of men,
and bought a large plantation. lie specu
lated and added to his pile, and soon be
came known as one of the leading colored
men of Mississippi.
When the State was again admitted to
the Union Gov. Alc'ru again sent for
Bruce. At this time there was a vacancy
in the United States Senate from Missis
sippi, caused by the unexpired term of
Jell' Davis. The Legislature was to elect
a Senator for this term, and also lor
a long one. Among the leaders of the
CO.Ored people was a Methodist preacher
named Revels, whom Alcorn wanted to
1 vet out of the way. He said to Bruce:
“lievc!? ia a good man, and we had better
promote isita.” Bruce uodded, and Re
vels went to Washington. Alcorn than
tho lon ff Senatorial term. But at

EX DOSING SIMRITUAIiISM.
Magician Kellar Performs Wonderful
Slate-Writing Tricks.
On Monday afternoon, says the Phila
delphia Record , l’rof. Kellar gave a pri
vate seance at Egyptian Hall to several
newspaper representatives. Sir. Kellar’*
object was to demonstrate that he could
produce by natural agencies what Dr.
Slade professes to accomplish by Spiritu
alism. Mr. Kellar, after assigning the
gentlemen present to places around a
table, and within two feet of himself,
produced nine slates and, after washing
their surfaces, selected two; then placing
a piece of pencil botween them he held
them aloft In full sight of every one pres
ent. Immediately a scratching sound was
heard and, on opening the slates, the fol
lowing message was found, written in
plain characters:
“It would perhaps lie easier to believe
that these manifes'ations are the result
of spirit power than that they are merely
a conjurer’s trick. They can. however,
all be traced to natural causes.”
Two more slates were selected and held
beneath the table by tbo magician’s right
band, the thumb of which was all the time
iu sight of the company. After conside
rable scratching this message appeared:
“Just returned from the Soudan. Gor
don is alive and will return safely to Eng
land. Bun Allah.”
The third slate, similarly hold, stated:
“With such undoubted evidence of the
existence of a spirit world, why will you
persist in doubting it?”
Below the above message appeared
l’rof. Kellar’s signature in Chinese char
acters.
Asa final test of hi 9 power the follow
ing question was written upon a slate:
“What is the height of the Washington
Monument ?” This the Professor was not
allowed to see. lie, however, placed the
slate beneath the table as before. In a
short time the scratching sound was heard
and, on placing the slate on the table, the
following answer was found on the ob
verse side: “We have never visited the
Washington Monument, therelore cannot
give its height.”
Prof. Kellar then requested the gentle
men to join hands, after which spirit rap
pings were produced, and the Professor.
In an explanatory way, said: “It is just
such exhibitions as I have given you that
lead credulous people to believe iu Spir-

THE HOT WATER CURE.
The Method of Treatment—The Effort of
It, etr.
It is said to be a fact that more permits
are to-day taking hot water for various ail
ments titan any single drug in our
pharmacopoeia. Tue benefits that result
from the internal use of hot water must
be due, in part, at h ast, if not wholly, to
heat, said Dr. Ambrose L. Ranney ia a
recent lecture btf>re the Academy of
Medicine, in Hartford Some of the ef
fects are manifested almost immediately
in organs connected directly with the
digestive apparatus.
BCLKS FOB ADMINISTRATION.
1. The water may betaken in doses Of
from one goblet to one-and-a-half. An
ordinary goblet contains about ten
ounces. The dose must be modified in
accordance with its effects.
2. It must be drunk hot, and nst warm
(110 to 150 degrees). If necessary, fifteen
minutes or more may be consumed iu
sipping a gobletful. Wooden cups pre
vent the water from cooling quickly.
The water may be flavored with lemon,
sugar, salt, ginger, etc., if neoeesary, but
tt becomes very agreeable to the palate
without such alter the patient has taken
it for.a short time.
3. The uose must be taken one hour
and a half before each meal with absolute
punctuality, and one at bedtime.
Patients have the first dose brought to
their bedside, and consume it before
risiug. The passage of the fluid into the
intestine, or its absorption before the
meal, is insured by this rule. The quan
tity taken daily must be modified accord
ing to the effects produced.
4. The temperature of the water should
be increased as fast as the patients can
bear it. It is remarkable bow high a
degree of heat some patients can endure
alter taking hot water for months. At
first such a temperature would biisterthe
mouth. Below 110 degrees the heat is not
sufficient, as a rule, to have any effect
save as an emetic.
5. The administration of hot water
must be continued for at least six months
in order to get its full effects. It will be
some weeks, as a rule, before any bene
ficial effects become markedly apparent.
It Is not sufficient for a test oi its value
that it be given at irregular intervals,
with variable degrees of temperature.
The use of cold fluids, in the form of
beverages, must be absolutely prohib
ited.
A restricted diet is often necessary to
the full effects of the treatment in some
forms of nervous derangements. It is
customary with some patients to forbid
all sweets, pastry, l'resh bread in any
form, and fats. The sour wines are not
usually forbidden, nor is tea
or coffee, unless they are
apparently injurious to the pa
tient. The condition of the subject, in re
spect to flesh, is a guide, as a rule, to the
character of the diet prescribed, provided
that marked disturbances to digestion are
not to be combated.
EFFECTS OF THE TBEATMKNT.
1. On drinking a goblet of hot water for
the first time a sense of warmth within
the stomach will be produced, unac
companied w ith nausea. Eructations ol
gas from the stomach commonly occur
within a few minutes alter the first dose
ot hot water. This effect may persist for
sumo weeks. Excessive eructation in
dicates that fermentation of food occurs
after eating.
2. The skin soon shows the effect of *he
heat. A gentle glow, with a tendency to
perspiration, is developed rapidly. This
is diffused over the entire body. Coldness
of the extremities is often very much ben
efited, and in a Hhort time, by this treat
ment. The circulation of the body ap
pears to become more uniform.
3. The kidney* exhibit marked effect of
this treatment early.
4. The accessory organs of digestion
(the liver and pmcreas) seem to be
stimulated by the internal use of hot
water. Flatulence and constipation are
enumerated a9 things of the past.
5. The nervous system seems to be
profoundly impressed by a prolonged use
of this agent. Especially is this the case
among that class of patients who suffer
ironi the f effects <;f app. ipia of the brain
and of the spinal chord and spinal
nerves.
Thi3 method of treatment has' certainly
one thing in its favor that few possess,
viz., it is harmless. Because its re
medial effects are slow in some cases it
is no proof that they are not doubly pre
manent.
Most of our nationality chill their stom
achs with ice water between meals and
during the act of eating. Who would
think of feeding a horse and placing a
bucket of ice Water by his side? The
question may be raised it this one habit
alone has not done more harm to the
nervous systems of men than tobacco or
alcohol.
CONCLUSION'S.
1. It is harmless it properly adminis
tered. A degree of temperature that can
be endured by the mouth will not impair

upon manv ot the chronic diseases that
influence and disturb the proper assimila

factors in the development of nervous
derangements. . .
t. It appears that the curative influ
ence of water is not usually transient.
In many cases the symptoms have shown
no tendency to return when once checked
by it use, provided the patient’s indiscre
tions do not lead to a relapse.
5. It uiay be employed as an adjunct to
all recognized methods of treatment with
out detriment to the patient.
0. It exerts a marked Influence upon
disturbances of the nerves.
7. In diabetes and in some kidney
derangements its action as a diuretic is
quite remarkable in some eases.
8. Asa laxative, hot water has a slow
but decided action. It seems to be a
justifiable deduction that the functions
of the acces'sory organ of digestion are
made active by its use and brought to a
standard of health.

of this agent, and the cutaneous cir

Dudes at the Swell Clubs—Rich People
Owing Grocery Bills.
The typical “dude,” says a Philadelphia
letter, is to be found at some ol the swell
clubs. All his mcney is invested in the
clothes which adorn his puny body, and 1
hear that a good many or the members
owe their tailors besides. Ilezekiah says
“a fellow’s not a man till he owes a tailor
bill, and he’s not a man if he pays one
before ho has run up another.” That’s
Ilozekiah’s logic, but it’s not right, I don’t
think. “Pay as thee goes,” I was always
taught, but then lam only a young girl,
and I suppose I can’t understand these
things. I imagine it i3 better to owe
money than to steal it from your employer
and keep out of debt in that way, as Glen
more Tcdd did. He was a bookkeeper
down at the Provident Lite and Trust
Company, thee knows, and they say he

stole over SIOO,OOO. “O, dear me, what a
good boy he used to be!” said Cousin He/.-
ekiah, the other day. “1 knew Glenmore
well. Why, I used to go up to Burlington
to see him when he first moved up there;
but he got so good alter a while that visits
to him grew monotonous. Thee sees he
was conscientiously opposed to swimming
on First Dav, and so, as the swimming
was the chief attraction Burlington had
for me, I dropped his acquaintance and
went in swimming nearer home with fel
lows who were not so careful about vio
lating even the spirit of the command
ments.” I wonder which is the worse, to
go swimming on Sunday or to steal SIOO,-

While speaking on the subject of owing
liills I want to whisper something to thee.
A prominent grocery man who does a big
business here among tbe swellest of the
swell people told me the other day whoa I
was paving mother's bill for her, that
some of the “old families” of Philadelphia
have not yet paid him for the groceries he
sold them last summer and sent out to
the if country seats at Hryn Mawr and
such places, and down to Long Branch,
Cape May aud other coast resorts. Isn't
it a shame that people who have the money
i to pay should keep him waiting for his
f money so long? 1 should be sorry if I
! thought this practice of letting bills run
was characteristic of Philadelphia.

A NOTABLE JOURNEY.
President Polk’s Stage Coach Trip to
Washington To be Inaugurated.
“Yos, I am going to the inauguration,”

says the Courier-Journal, to a circle of
frieuds at the Alexander Hotel, Louis
ville, “to see what alterations have been
made in such ceremonies during the last
forty years.”
“Did you witness an inauguration that
long ago!” asked one of the group.
“Yes, I saw James K. Polk inducted
into office in 1545, and l have not wit

of government again after a much longer

in February, 1845, and traveled trom .lew
Orleans to Cincinnati on one of the float
ing palaces of that day. and there took a
Pntsbarg boat for Wheeling. There was
a sudden change in the weather, such as
we have experienced recently, and before
we reached Wheeling the wheels of the
steamboat were broken to pieces by t*he
ice in the river. We went ashore thereto
take the stage across the mountains on
the turnpike the government was build
ing trom Washington to St. Louis. It was
atter the middle of February and travel
to Washington was brisk, and when we
stopped at Wheeling we found a large
gathering of notables awaitincr accommo
dations to the inauguration.
“Among them was James K. Polk,
President-eleet, on his way to Washing
ton, and the W estern and Southern Con
gressmen, and many politicians were
having a tine opportunity to make their
demands upon him. There were two stage
lines running from Wheeling to Cumber
land, Aid., and travelers had to take their
turns. First booked first taken, was the
motto and we had to wait two or three
days f>r 6eats in the stages. In the mean
time a magnificent coach, upholstered in
red velvet and drawn by six horses, ar
rived to carry the President-elect across
the mountains. It had been constructed
especially for the occasion by the Demo
crats ot Nowavk, N. J., and sent lo meet
Mr. Polk. It was in charge of a commit
tee of three, aud they tendered Mr. Polk
a seat in it with more finish and formality
than the ccmuiittees of to-day make use
ot in tendering hotel and parlor railway
coaches to Presidents. It so happened
that our partv secured transportation lor
tho same morning that Mr. Polk and the
committee were to start. Both stagelines
left at the same time and I will nsver tor
get that start. One line had ten coaches
and the other six, making sixteen, besides j
the Presidential coach, and we termed a
gay party as we rode out of Wheeling to
the music of the sixteen stage horns.
Each stage was drawn by six horses and
each passenger was as happy a9 a lark,
because wo had the i’r< sident-elect along.
‘•lt, took us three days and a ball to
travel to Cumberland and there we struck
the railroad, but It wouldn’t pass for a
railroad nowadays. The rails were sim
ply flat iron bars spiked down to stringers
which rested on cross-tie*, aud the great
est fear of accidents was caused by the
danger of spikes in the ends of the bais
getting loose and drawing out. The en
gineers called them ‘snake heads’ when
they stuck up three or four inches and
kept a sharp lookout for them. We reached
Washington in safety during the latter
part ot February and waited for March 4.
ft came, and with it an immense crowd
Qf people from all parts of the country,
who witnessed and highly enjoyed the in
auguration ceremonies. It has been 40
years since 1 witnessed such a sight, and
1 wouldn’t miss seeing Cleveland inaugu
rated for ? 1,000.”
“Did you secure the appointment to
West Point?” asked an attentive listener.
“Mo. 1 waited three weeks and Slidell
worked very hard for me, and he had a
great many friends to accommodate, and
after the appointment had been postponed
two or three times I wrote to my father
telling him of the obstacles in the way
and he wrote to mo to go back to the Mi
ami College, and I went back there an
other term. A young man named Barrow
got the cadetship and died shortly alter
he graduated.”
GLASS CLOTH.
It Fall* to Become a Popular Fabric at
#lO a Vard.
Several years ago, says the Pittsburg
fhronicle, quite a furore was created by
the announcement that a South Side glass
manufacturer had discovered a method ol
spinning glass so fine and so pliable that
it could be woven into dresses, outside
wraps and garments of all kinds. The
statement was received with incredulity
and a leading foreign scientific journal,
which published the statement of the dis
covery, felt called upon to apologize to Its
readers for having endeavored to dupe
them, Several months later the manu
facturers of the article caused the journal
to acknowledge the receipt of a piece of
the ivomierlul cloth. The eagerness
see the material was unbounded fry
months, ami letter* by the hundreds, from
every clime, were received inquiring the
cost of the novelty. 4’he reply, S2O per >
yard, never brought back any answer and ,
put an effectual quietus on the anxious
correspondent. Fanny Davenport visited
the factorv in person and viewed the ma
terial. Emma Abbott placed a shawl
made out of tie cloth on her shoulders at
the company’s office and talked of pur
chasing it when she presented her new
opera, but that opera has never yet been
presented, or else she has changed her
mind. P. T. Barr.um brought the late
Tom Thumb and his wife to the works
and inquired tho cost of preparing them
with an outfit of class. The veteran show
man, however, was not disposed to effect
a purchase. For months persons visited
the factory by the hundreds. A sample
of the glass was sent to a popular dry
goods store In New York for inspection,
but was returned with the statement that
the rush of people to see the cloth re
tarded business. Genius had triumphed,
but only partially. It was found impos
sible to manufacture the article for less
than S2O per yard, and soon the furore
over it subsided. Probably in the dim
future, if glass materials become cheaper,
glass cloth will lorm the basis of many
handsome costumes.
A GHOST STORY.
Solving the Mystery of a Haunted House
in Massachusetts.
Lowell, Feb. 17.—0n the road leading
from Kgremout, Mass., to Mount Everett
is a house which was once the home of a
sea captain, who was murdered by tbe
insubordinate crew of his ship. After
that event, on stormy nights, his wife and
daughter used to be disturbed by sounds
of creaking cordage, flapping sails, clank
ing chains, and other nautical sounds,
which seemed to come Irom the garret.
Above all the rest of the noise and tur
moil, whoever was down stairs could
hear amrrv voices, groans and cries for
help. A great many people used to gather
in the house on stormy nights to hear the
unaccountable and alarming racket in
the garret, but no one ever had enough
courage to open the garret door and try
j to solve the mystery on these occasions.
At length the widow and her daughter
abandoned the house, the windows and
doors of which were then boarded up. All
of this took place fifty years
ago, and but few who have
seen the ruined house knew its singular
history. A few days ago a Mrs. Melius,
a granddaughter of* the old captain, liv-~
ing in Lowell, received a letter from a
sailor, from a South American port, who
says that he w’as on the ship with her
grandfather on the night when the latter
was killed. He says that the Captain
wanted him to go to Egremontaml tell his
wife and daughter that he had been mur
dered, and that enough money was buried
in one corner of the collar to keep them
in comfort all the rest of their lives. The
sailor went to Egremont as he had prom-
ised, but resolved to have the money in
the cellar for hiinsolf. By an ingenious
arrangement of chains and other avail
able material ho originated and kept up
the supposed supernatural tumult which
had driven the Captain’s widow and her
daughter from their home. He then made
a successful search in the cellar for the
monev, which he took with him to Peru.
Remorse and the probability of immediate
death induced him to write this letter of
! gyplauttUOD to iir£, ilcliUL
THE IDYL OF VICTORIA.
Some Malicious Humor Id a Kepnbll
can Jnrni],
It was night at the Hofcl Victoria—one
niirht last week, says the New York Trib
une. The President-elect had gone to the
theatre, and office-seekers trom thethirty-
States, eight Territories and the
District or Columbia waited for his re
turn with mouths that watered with
sweet expectancy. And while they wait
ed, ever and anon if not oftener, the earn
est band of patriots wended their way to
the long room just oft the office and whis
pered to the man behind the bar that they
wanted a little more ol that hand-made
Jeffersonian simplicity. The play was
long as the spring 'of a Waterbury
watch, so at length the band grew
as weary as Mariana in the moated
grange. Finally one of the administra
tive reformers—we failed to catch his
name, but have a suspicion that it was
1 Judge Doolittle,of Wisconsin—remarked:
“Suppose, to enliven the time until Mr.
Cleveland’s return, we tell stones. If
there is no objection I’ll call the roil of
the States ami a representative of each in
his turn will be heard from.” There was
no objection, the proposition being re
ceived with great favor. Accordingly,
the Judge—if indeed it were he—re
marked: “Some gentleman from Ala
bama has the floor.”
How tne only gentleman from Alabama
then in the hotel was a plain, blunt per
son who loved a joke even at his own or
his party’s expense. Besides, he was
partial to stories that “came in well.”
Accordingly he responded to his invita
tion in this way: ’The pleasing little
anecdote which I will have the honor to
contribute t<? the pleasure of the hour
may be familiar to someone of you, but it
is always good, and tnere is something in
this scene—as it were-—that suggests it.
Once there was a king who was passion
ately fond of hunting. In order that he
might not S3t out alter the game on a dav
which was to prove stormy, he engaged
a weather prophet, wise in his generation,
to get up ‘probabilities’ for him. This
weather prophet was high in the royal
favor, and received an immense salary.
1 hope that Mr. Cleveland will do as well
by each one of us. Well, one day the
King was pursuing a wild boar to his
rocky fastnesses, under a sky ot un
clouded blue. Nevertheless, a little old
man who rode past the hunting party
cried out, ‘Best get under cover for there
is going to be a terrible rainstorm.’ But
the King and his comrades laughed the
little old man to scorn. And well they
might, for the sky was without a cloucl
and the royal weather prophet had as
sured the King that the day would be all
sunshine, .Nevertheless jt wasn’t ten
minutes after the little cld man had ut
tered his warning before the ekv sud
denly darkened and the rain descended m
torrents. The King got wet to
the skin and had a bad congestive
chill. Just as soon as he revived "he or
dered that his weather prophet should be
beheaded, and that his fat office should be
given to the little old man. Accordingly
the little old man was summoned, and the
King informed him of his good fortune.
‘Ah, but Ido not deserve this,’ said tho
little old man, ‘for indeed I am not
weather-wise. The only way I have of
telling when it Is going to storm Is by ob
serving the ears of my donkey. 1 have
noticed for some years that whenever the
beast’s ears seem to wilt and lie against
his mane a storm surely comes.’ "Well,
when the King heard this he decided to
give the fat office from which he had de
posed his weather prophet not to the old
man but to the donkey. All this hap
pened several hundred years ago, but the
world has suffered ever since trom the
course the King pursued in filling his un
fortunate weather prophet’s place.”
That was the story told by the Alabama
chap. Having finished it he rose and
requested the urbane barkeeper to pour
him out about three fingers straight of
Jeffersonian simplicity. While he was
refieshiog himself his fellow administra
tive reformers kept their seats. As he
set down his glass one ot them inquired
with a puzzled look, “How has the world
suffered by the action of the King?
Hanged it I understand.” There was a
gay gleam in the eye of the Alabama
chap, as he answered with voice suffused
with tobacco, “Well, you see, its just
here; ever since that King's day every
donkey expects a fat office.”
FOR 5 O’CLOCK TEA.
Some Points About the Latest Fashion
able Craze.
The proper equipage for 5 o'clock tea,
says the Philadelphia Xacs, is a pretty
and comfortable piece of furniture. It
consists of a low and “double-decked”
table, on the lower shelf of which stands
the tea caddy—lt may be a lacquered box
fifty to a hundred years old, or of hand
somely shaped or hammered metal, or one
of those tall Chinese boxes which Cali
fornia travelers delight to bring home.
These are curiously painted towers of pa
per, tasseled with silk and filled in with
blended tea ot some special preparation.
“Blend tea” is the latest novelty from
the Golden Gate, and the Californian’s
taste in tea has in these latter days be
come equal to any English or Russian
connoisseur’s.
If you once got the “blend” right, and
your California friends will allow you to
order their pet mixture at their grocer’s,
you can boas learned a9 a Chinese man
darin on the subject of tea, or as those
enchanting people in Trollope's novels
whose talk is ever of orange-pekoe.
Beside the “double-decker” there should
be an occasional table, which may have
three or four jutting shelves, or the tea
table proper, which has only two. These
are covered with a fiat cloth, which fits
snugly at the top, and woe betide the tea
cup whose handles get entangled In its
fringes.
The little kettle is of polished brass or
copper, with spirit lamp beneath.
Dainty cups and saucers, the more har
lequin the set the better, and long, slen
der-hacdled teaspoons complete the equip
age.
If tea-balls are used, these most pre
lcrred are not fastened by a screw, bat
open in halves, like an empty English
walnut. They are perforated bails of sil
ver. Care should be taken to fill about
halt of the under half only with tea—
othe-wise the water cannot percolate
through.
A chain and finger-ball is attached to
the tea-ball. The cups are filled with
boiling water from the little kettle, and
the ball is dipped and swung about in
each cup until tea of the desired strength
is drawn.
Many ladies dispense with cream and
use in Its place lemon juice.
A bread and butter plate or a tray ter
thinnest biscuit, tbe sugar howl and
tongs,, or rather scissors, for the new
shaped suear-tongs are very quaint, form
the remaining pieces ot the tea service.
When the tea is made in the kitchen
and brought in a “cozy” is brought also
to keep it hot. This is a plush or satin
bag, shaped like a double half-moon, lined
. with chamois and wadded, to cover the
teapot and keep the heat in while draw- j
ing. it is rather a useless thing to Amer- !
ican eyes, but it is pretty and shows that
“you know.”
Pour hot water into the teapot just a
few minutes before it is wanted, so as to
have it hot and ready to receive the tea,
and be sure that you have freshly-boiled
water to draw with. This aaabe secured,
of course, with the little brass or copper
kettls, which you attend to yourself, over
the lamp.
There is a growing rage for tea gowns
this season, and most beautiful fabrics
and combinations of color are lavished
upon them. A notable one of French
manufacture was a combination of helio
trooe and sage-green satin brocaded in
silver threads, the design being a conven
tionalized flower with foliage. There was
along Watteau plait in the back of the
bouffant overdress, the full vest of which
was dexterously and gracefully held in
place by bows of red satin ribbon. The
garniture of the dress was sage-green
Soanish point, outlined with silver
threads. In a dimly lighted room this
gown had most charming effect; under a
tierce gas light it would have been too
biJHirre.
(.’rape can be renovated, by thoroughly
brushing all dust irom the material. i
sprinkliDg with alcohol and rolling in
paper, commencing with the paper and I

between every portion of the material.
Allow it to remain 60until dry.

“No. sir, it is not a business to get rich at,
this hack driving; whether a mn own- his
carriage or drives for some of these companies
that arc springing up now-a-davs.”
Aa ho expressed this opinion, F. H Turner,
one of the best known aod most careful hack
men in Koslod, was s amiing beside hie ve
hicle in front of the Quincy lionse.
“It would aeem to me,” said I, “that one of
the principal drawbacks is ihc exposnre you
have to undergo.”
“Exactly,” he answered. “We have to be
out at all hours and in all sorts of bad weather.
Hot or cold, rain or snow, frost or fog, we've
got to face it or lose our bread and butter. In
spite of blankets and rubber coats we are
often soaked to the skin, and, as a hackman is
as likely to catch cold under those circum
stances as a bank President, we get sick, with
out being as able to afford it as rich men are.”
“That’s so,” I replied with genuine,sympa
thy, “and doctors naturally waul their fees.”
“I'M. and inckilv for me X don’t often have
to call on them. Whenever 1 catch told—and
I frequently do—and get uains iu the back or
chest, or any part of my body, I just ruu in to
Barteanx’, the druggist, arounu here m Green
street, and buy u Ben-ou’s Capeiue Plaster
and clap it square on the sore spot. It re
lieves me right away, same day. Don’t have
to wait. I’vo iust thrown ofl’ou other outside
remedies. Benson’s plasters do the whoio
business. Ever tried’emV”
“tih. yes, many times.”
"Then you know what I say is so. They boat
all the other plasters rolled into one, with all
the stuff in bottles beside. There ate thous
ands and thousands of men exposed just as I
am. If you print what I aay, tell them that
for me.”
Ssj ing this Mr. Turner showed a passenger
into his coach, jumped on the box aud rattled
down the street.

THING?WED LIKE TO KNOW.
MR. SCHREINER explains at great length
concerning Messrs.Evans’ Music Specula
tion, but will he be kind enough to give us a
little further information? We hope to be
pardoned for the doubt, but it -doesn’t strike
ua that he is gulfs so “innocent of eulle” as
he would make out. In, fact we firmly be
lieve that he hasn’t even a peg left to hang
his hat on. Will he please explain in brief
and direct terms'?
Why, after we had published the fact that
we were Sole Agents tor Evans’ Mu-ic, did he
deliberately set at work to get a supply of it
anil then further violate our rights by selling
it? Would an honorable merchant do thus?
if he really doubted that we held the agency
why did he not inquire of Evans .St Bro. at
their Boston headquarters instead of getting
a friend in New York to nose around and see
if a supply eould not be underhandedly got
from a brapefc hOUS? Would au houoraoiq
■ merchant do thus?
He bought his first lot of cheap music from
Trippet, of Boeton. Why then aid he not ap
ply to Evans & Bro., of Boston, for their mu
sic instead of getting a go-between in New
Y'ork to arrange w’ith a branch house for it?
Was it not because ho knew that we were sole
agents; and hence would bo j rotected at head
quarters?
After wo had published the contract of
Evans A Bro., proving bevond all que tion
that we were eo!c agents, why did he still
continue to sell the music in direct violation
ol our rights? Was this honorable?
And after we published the letter of Evans
& Bro., dated Feb. It, showing that he had
obtained the music unknown to them, an i was
selling it against their wishes, why does he
still continue to sell it? Is this honorable?
Our charge was that he had surreptiously
and vndtrhandedly oblaine s this must and
was selling it in direct violation of our rights.
Out of his own mouth he condemns himself
aud admits the absolute truth of our state
ments.
Please explain some more. Open confession
is good for the soul.
The New York branch of Evans & Bro.
claim ignorance of the exclusive agency given
us by the homo house. It may tie that they
are honest in this, as Mr. William A. Evans
has been South tor gome time, and may not
have informed them, as he should have done,
of his contract with us. Be this as it may,
the New York house lias now been duly noti
fed, and no more music can be had from them.
For the breach of contract with us, aud the
trespass upon our rights, all parties concerned
must answer in due time through legal meas
ures.
