She ordered to be placed among the table decorations a set of salts of exceedingly handsome and novel design, which, coming from a very dear friend, were among the most highly prized of her wedding gifts. One of the servants placed the name cards against them. One of the guests, after admiring the salt, find supposing from the card resting against it that it was in tended as a favor, tool; it up and put it in her pocket, and most of the other guests, one by one, followed her exam ple, while the dismayed hostess, utterly unable to understand the meaning of such proceedings, looked on in speech less surprise. When her guests depart ed she counted her treasures and found that she had but two left. The next day came the explanation. A polite note was received from a lady who had been present, saying she had neglected to take her favor, mentioning it, and asking the hostess to kindly send it. It was sent. Not So Very Large. A rather good story is told at the ex pense of Ira Shafer, the great legal ex pounder, of New York. Some live years ago Mr. Shafer had occasion to appear in one of the courts of Providence, R. I. Os course, he appeared for the defense. .As a New York attorney he naturally put on a few frills, which did not en dear him to the Court and the other at torneys in the least. Finally a ruling of the Judge threw the bumptious Mr. Shafer into a state of mind. He ex pressed his opinion, as to the provincial ism of Providence, and intimated tliat he was not receiving the consideration due a distinguished representative of the New York Bar. “Look here, Mr. Shafer,” said the Judge, “we all under stand that you are a New York lawyer of distinction. New York is, a big city, too; but if all the rascals and shy sters were sent to the, penitentiary, it wouldn’t be a bit bigger town than Providence.” Mr. Shafer’s respect for the Court was very much increased at this point in tlie proceedings.

Clayford was the home of some very pretty and attractive young ladies, what ever else might be said of the young men. Certainly dainty Mattie Crondit, queenly Helen Murray, and her sister Kate were maidens upon whom a con noisseur of female charms might have deigned to bestow more than a passing glance. Now, if there was anything Clayford as a community excelled in, it was gos sip. Its proficiency in this was not to be wondered at, perhaps, considering the fact tlgit every family worth considering at all was related by natural ties or by marriage to every other family; and it was perfectly natural that anything af fecting one individual was a matter of interest to all the others; and so when Charley Brouse entered the church on probation it was a subj *ct for widely different comment from every member of this heterogeneous family. The fraternity at the store loudly de clare'! that Charley Brouse neve r ba known how to be civil and now he never would; while, on the other hand, th church-members set their seal upon it that Charley Brouse was destined for a great and shining career; and in this circle of popular opinion he became the “bright particular star.” Long before his six months’ probation was at an end he was by acclamation elected superin tendent «f the sabbath-school, and more than ever, if possible, mammas doted upon him, and stern fathers held him up to luckless sons as a pattern of ex cellence. Just previous to this event the shrewd est of Clayford’s female gossips had pro mulgated her firm belief that “Charley Brouse had a kind of hankering after Kate Murray, and as for Kate, la! she’d snap at the chance any minit.” But her story had not gained much credence, for Kate had numerous beaux, such as they were, and no one else had Observed that he had paid more attention to her than to any of the other pretty girls. At this juncture in affairs a Sabbath school picnic, the only public amuse ment the church society ever indulged in, and to which even the store sent its quota of delegates, was held in the forest skirting the bank of the little lake. It was the event of the season, instituted each year solely for the children’s benefit, and to the credit of the riders be it confessed this holiday c rdributed not a little to their enjoy ment. The lake offered its placid sur face to those who cared to risk their lives on the few weather-beaten boats drawn high up on th.* beach, and the “forest primeval" held many a sylvan retreat for rustic lovers and places of concealment for the boys and girls who scampered among its shadows in the game of “hide-and-seek." and it was SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL ‘M. 1881. amid this scene and while deep in the mysteries of this game, that little Ada Billings, by a lucky chance, was able to throw more light on the subject en grossing the public mind than the ablest of CBytord’s gossip-mongers had done. On good authority it is safe to say the child was innocent of intentional spying, and only in the zest of animal spirits had tun away from her comrades, thinking they would hunt for her, and so stum - bled upon a scene that cause I her little heart to beat fast with a new sensation and her eyes to open wide like two big blue-fringed gentians. In this state of open-mouthed wonderment she stood an instant and then turned and ran as swiftly as her little feet could carry her straight to her mother, who was sitting in a circle of Clayford's best people- Flushed, tearful, and dripping with perspiration, sh--flung herself, face down ward, into her mother's lap. “Why, Ada, what ails the child!’ ex claimed Mrs. Billings, giving her a vigorous shake. Bui Ad i only buried her face deeper and did not answer. “Ada sit right up, and tell me want's the matter, this moment!" demanded Mrs. Billings, half impatiently, yet with some concern in her voice. Thus adjured, Ada slowly raised ner scif, and keeping her face bidden bv her hands, said between her sobs: “ I—saw—the— superintendent—kiss ing—Kate—Murray—boo—boo!” The circle looked aghast. ‘‘Where? When?" gasped Mrs. Bit lings, excitedly. “Over there in the woods. I didn’t mean to see it," faltered the child. It was a thrilling moment, for Mrs. Billings. The knowledge all Clayford was almost dying of curiosity to learn lay right here in her hands. She deter mined to make the most of her oppor tunity. “Ada,” she solemnly commanded, “jess you go right on and tell us all about this—don’t you skip a word,” holding up one finger threateningly. With drooping head and scarlet cheeks the child continued: “I was runnin’ the sand, and was jest stoppin' to turn round an’ go back, when I heard somethin', an' I looked up the bank an’ I saw the supcr’teudi nt and Kate Murray gettin’ up from a seat; and his arm was ’round her, an’, an’ he kissed her, an’, an’ hugged her; an’ he kept his arm round her, an’ they came this way, an’ I run back, that’s all. ’ “You’re sure that’s all?" urged Mrs. Billings, anxiously. At this moment the couple under dis cussion sauntered into view, cairn, umufil'd and sedate, and only those who had ju.t learned their secret knew the meaning of the glad light in their eyes and the brilliant bloom on Kittie’s face. “1 do declare, they make a purty couple,” whisper' d Mis. B'ackmm to her companions. And so said all Clayford when it had become accustomed to the fact that it was really to be a match; but little Ada could never aga n quite reconcile the solemn, dignified superintendent and the proper young lady who sang like an angel in Sabbath-school with the senti mental pair she had overtaken in the woods.—[Chicago News.

He Did Net Want to be Peculiar. W. 11. Crawford, a railroad conductor who has seen service on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Wabash, Union Pacific and Hannibal and St. Joe sys tems, and who began as a peanut boy, was at Bros I street station yesterday. A friend of Crawford’s, who runs a train on the Pennsylvania, said: “One day while Crawford was employed on the Wabash a sweeping invitation to conductors to send in their resignations was forwarded bv the general superin tendent. Crawford was on ■of the un fortunates. His resignation was for warded and accepted, and in return he received the pay due him and a letter strongly indorsing his ability as a rail roader. A few days later he applied to the superintendent of the II innilia! and St.J >e for a train, presenting the Wabnsl indorsement. “1 see," said the St. J>o chief, “this letter says you understand the bu-iness, but makes no reference to your integrity. Now, .Mr. Crawford, if I should give you a train, what percentage of the cash receipts would ymi be willing to turn in to the company?” “Whatever has been customary with the old conductors," was Crawford's answer. “But they have been keeping it all,” remarked the superintendent. “Well,” said Crawford, with a smile, “that will be satisfactory to me.” To his surprise the superiutendent told him to come around on Monday and he could have a train, adding: “1 rather like your frankness.” j Philadel phia Times. Waterproofs for Fishes. But did you ever see a woman fish? 1 don’t mean a female fish, but u woman in the act of fishing. If she’s got to go outt » buy a paper of pir.s or a yard of ribbon when it is wet she’ll load herself up with a rubber tind a pair of arctics, and an umbrella and a neck protector. She is too delicate tor a dr<q> of rain to touch her. But she'll go out in a boat on a wet day and let the ruin come down on her and the waves dash over her, an I stand soaking like the hardiest sailor man. There were four ladies once went fishing.

When they caught the pickerel they din’t know what to do with it. It was alive and flopping. They had it in the bottom of the boat. They wonderc I why it didn’t lie quiet. At last a happy and benign thought struck one of them. ‘ Poor thing! It’s getting nil wet lying in the rain.” And s>e whipped off her water proof and wrapped it up in it. Eich of the four caught a pickerel, and each of the four wrapped it up in her water proof, and the rain wet them through to the skin; but they kept their fish dry all the same.—[S m Francisco Chronicle. The Ripest Year of Human Life. The venerable Junes Jackson, who was the Nestor of the medical profession lor so long u time in B Mon, used to say that a man came to the prime of his effective faculties when he was sixty-five years old. He said it was true that the curve of physical strength was then de clining. But experience, an 1 the ability to act, which comes from experience, are, of course, constantly improving while memory holds. According to Dr. Jackson, the curve of experience, and the curve of physical life cross each other at the age of sixty five.

Dumbness Cured by Hypnotism. “Hypnotism” has been employed with considerable success in Paris for soma time past by Charcot and others in the treatment of hysterical disorders; but st case just related by M.

A young lady of twenty was attacked six months ago with a nervous ailment which completely deprived her of the use of her voice.
