JUST AS OF OLD.

spake at last—
Wards that were as sparks that burst from a
dying, smold’ring past.
•Does our meeting not recall something of a
past?” I said;
•So sweet odor, no faint breath, fragrant of the
days long dead?" .
Oh! the smile that wreathed her face—smile
divine that graced the dance!
Qhl that look—it gleamed again—soul destroying,
mystic glance'

Thus she spoke—at last I knew what lay hid in

Where Oen. Grant Died.
While at Mount McGregor I visited
the Grant cottage. It is in the same
condition now as it was when Grant
died. The same furniture stands in the
eame places, and the tallow candle half
burned down to the socket stands on the
table, besides the two great armchairs
in which he breathed away his last
hours. Pieces of his last writing, con
sisting of slips from his pad, are shown,
and there is a tall, fine looking soldier in
ti triform who sleeps in the cottage and
takes care of the relics. There are, on
the average, abont 24,000 visitors a year
sow, and many pathetic incidents occur.
Hearly every one that comes wants to
take away some memento of the place,
and many pick np the gravel of the walk
around the house, supposing that they
are carrying off stones trodden by the
foot of Grant
The truth is that this gravel has to be
renewed every month on account of
these relic hunters, and the stones they
carry away have never seen Grant Mr.
Arkell, who owns the mountain, tells
me he was offered $35,000 for the cot
tage, and that the men who offered this
were western men, who said they wanted
to cat np the cottage and sell it for relics.
The probability is that they would have
taken it to pieces, have carried it off to
Chicago and shown it there at the expo
sition. in the same way that Libby prison
is to be shown.—Cor. Cincinnati Times-
Star.
Depreciation ill the Price of Onyx.
Among the art treasures which used
to adorn the drawing room in his marble
palace, now occupied by the Manhattan
club, A. T. Stewart cherished a block of
.Mexican onyx twelve inches square and
about seven-eighths of an inch thick. He
gave $700 for it, and it was considered
an unusually big, rare piece of what was
then a precious stone. So rapidly have
the onyx deposits of Mexico been de
veloped since the day of the merchant
prince, however, that a piece of onyx the
same size as the one the great trader
valued so highly can now be purchased
in New York for about $5, or for a good
deal less than one-hundredth part of the
price he paid. Blocks of onyx of eight
feet are now shipped here, cut up to
commercial size in Brooklyn and sent to
the N ew England factories to be polished.
For interior decoration onyx black Afri
can marble, so long used almost exclu
sively, has been almost superseded by
the mottled stone now found in such
abundance on our own continent.—New
York Letter.
Whitelaw Reid. \
Whitelaw Reid is sparely elongated of
frame, and buffers his dusky lovelocks to
flutter in negligent profusion behind his
ears. He is urbane of manner, thongh
he married money. He is also three-
and-fifty, and made his first success in
'journalism as a war correspondent, un
der the signature of “Agate.” After the
war he wrote an elaborate “History of
Ohio in the War," which attracted the
attention of Chief Justice Chase, and he
invited Mr. Reid to accompany him on
his southern trip in 1866, an account of
which he wrote.
TChe chief justice introduced him to
Horace Greeley, VR o made him his sec
retary and managing editor of The Trib
une, and since Greeley’s death in 1872 he
has been editor-in-chief. He was at one
time superintendent of schools at Charles
ton, S. C.—Frank Leslie’s.
Does the'-Right Shoe Wear Out First?
A majority of people who buy shoes
in this house leave their old ones. I pre
sume this is true of other shoe houses. 1
have noticed that the sole oi the right
shoe—1 mean the pld shoe—is worn
down very thin on that point where the
hall of the foot rests. I have seen so
-many «?.ch that 1 got to thinking abont
it, and have come to this conclusion:
Nearly everybody in a city like Chicago
Tides on the street cars. Nearly every
body gets off his or her car on the right
hand side of the car, and in alighting
the right foot is the first to strike the
stone paving, or whatever the paving
may be, and it strikes on the ball of the
foot. This in time wears down the sole
of the right shoe at that point.—Inter
view in Chicago Tribune.
■Where Many Oysters Are Opened.
In one place on West street the pro
prietor stated that he had 1,000 men
burfy shucking oysters, and that each
man averaged $7 a day—in other words,
each man'opens from 5,000 to 7.000 oys
ters a day, receiving $1 for every 1.000
oysters opened. Therefore if 1.000 men
axe engaged in opening oysters, and each
man opens 7,000 a day, no less than
7,000,000 oysters are opened in a day.—

EATING UVE FROGS.
Tfe* Queer Appetite That Kaabtos a Her
mit to Make a IMmg.
Attorney George C. Ingham, who has
returned tram a trip to the White moun
tains, tells a strange story of what he
saw while on a “tramp” in that cele
brated part of New England.
Mr. Ingham spent two months in the
mountains,-and returns with a lasting
impression of the beauties of the coun
try and the simple life of the New Eng
landers he met. Most of the time ot
course he stopped at the hotels for which
the White mountains have become far
mous; bat the monotony of hotellife was
broken by frequent -pedestrian tours to
various points of interest. It was upon
one of these excursions that the lawyer
saw a sight that made his hair stand on
end with amazement and his face grow
pale with horror. He aqd a small party,
this particular day, tramped to the
Crawford notch, a distance of perhaps
ten Tniles. The rest of the story is Dest
told in the words of the attorney, as he
related it to a party of friends the other
day.
“Well, we were abont to start on the
return trip,” said he, “when somebody
suggested that we go to see the hermit.
I had never seen a real live hermit, and,
being curious, I agreed to go. The old
man’s hut was a little out of the ordi
nary pathway, but I have learned since
that he receives many visits from the
people at the hotels, and as my stofy
will show, makes a good deal of money
out of them, thongh what he does with
his cash I could not for the life of me
discover.
“We found the old fellow sitting in
front of the hut, and after looking at
him for awhile I asked him how he man
aged to live np there all alone, and how
he earned his daily bread.
“ ‘Earin’ frogs,’ was the astonishing
reply.
“I began to think the old fellow was
quite a humorist, when one of the party
told me that the hermit spoke the truth.
I asked how much he charged to eat a
frog, and he replied:
“ ‘One dollar, sir.’
“I could hardly believe my ears, but
what was my amazement when, after
one of the party had produced a silver
dollar, the hermit began to fish in a tub
with a wire covering over it for a frog.
Finally he got a big fellow, and holding
him wiggling and twisting before cur
eyes suddenly tossed the slippery thing
down his throat. Ugh, what a sight!
We talked a little while longer to the
hermit, and then gave him another dol
lar, and another frog went down the
straight and narrow lane; and then an
other and another, until six frogs had
been disposed of, and the old man said
he had enough for one meal. Think of
it, swallowing live frogs at$l a head!
“This little affair interested me, and 1
made some inquiry about the queer little
old man, whose hair and beard were as
white as snow, and who must have seen
pretty near seventy summers. I found
that he was in his youth a sailor. About
fifteen years ago he was shipwrecked,
and lived for several years on an unin
habited island, where he had nothing
but frogs and berries to eat. He was
finally rescued and made his home in
the mountains, where he lived for some
time unobserved. But he was later dis
covered, and his frog eating he turned
to the entertainment of pleasure seekers
and to the art of moneymaking.—Chi
cago News.
Do You Act This Way?
Did you ever notice how some men
will walk up and down the floor when
they are trying to convey the impression
that their brain is on the rampage?
They strike a line across the floor from
comer to comer, pull a lock of hair over
the forehead, jam their hands into their
pockets and commence their march and
their talk if there is any one to listen.
I knew a, man who expressed great joy,
great sorrow, great rage and great every
thing in this manner. I was duly im
pressed with this magnitude of his intel
lect, and bowed in respect, until one
day I saw him deprived of 'this mode of
expression or impression.
It happened in this way: This man
with the powerful brain was striding up
and down in a very small room. There
was room for the lock of hair on his fore
head, plenty of pocket room for his
hands, but that stride interfered with
the comfbrt of two or three others in the
room. Finally, in desperation, one of
the ladies said: “Oh, Mr. , do sit
down. You make me nervous.” A gen
tleman said: “Let him walk. It is an
evidence of great intellect.” The laugh
that went np brought intellect to a stand
still. He looked surprised, perplexed,
his hand went to his brow and then he
brightened up and said, “Well, then, 1
must have a cigarette.” He lighted one/
It certainly was a most surprising bal
ance for intelligence.—Chicago Herald.
Tbe President of Mexico.
President Portorio Diaz, of Mexico, is
a portly, dark skinned, Indian eyed man,
with closely clipped blue-black hair and
a drooping mustache. His years are
nine-and-fifty, and he is serving his third
term as president. Yet you never see
him without a smile on his face. He is
iron willed, and when the grant to the
American railroad in Mexico vfas with
held by the parliament or congress Diaz
was ont taking a ride. He came np
into congress and addressed them, say
ing:
“Signors, you will either pa® this bill
of go straight home.”
They looked a minute, and raised the
cry of “Long live the president!” and
passed the bill.—Frank Leslie’s.

The toliowing is an extract from a letter writ
ten by the World Renowned Evangelist:
“I returned from Tyler, Texas, on the 12th
last: I And my wife has been taking Royal

rheumatism FOR THIRTY YEARS, scarcely
having a dav’s exemption from pain. After
talcing Royal Germetuer two months, he writes:
•* A more complete transformation I have never
witnessed. EVEEY 8YMFTOH OFMilSEASE HAS
DISAPPEARED. She appears to be twenty years
younger, and is as happy and playful as a

friends' to take tbe medicine, and the testimony
of all of them is that it is a great remedy.”
