Everybody has heard of Lady Bnr- ett Coutts, the wealthy English wo- ,tn whose lnunificcnce'and hospitality ivc given her a world-wide reputation; it few people know anything about ie family to which she ’ was indebted ih for her name and her property, ic was the daughter of Sir Francis urdett, the eminent Whig statesman, bo left a large family aDd a small es- te. He had married the daughter of bomas Coutts, the founder of the for te now possessed hy his granddaugh- r. and of the famous banking house at bears his name; but . as the old tiker left his pr perty to his widow, to married agaid, his granddaughter s ti&ces of being a rich woman were no means flattering. Fortunately for it, Mrs. Coutts, whose second hus- tod was the Duke of St. Albans, so red her vast inheritance in her own ads, and, at her death, showed her spect for the memory, of old ThomaB leaving it to his favorite grand- n 0 'hter on condition that "she assumed e niwe of Coutts.

Here are safes within safes, containing the title deeds, rent rolls, and priceless valuables of the highest nobility in England. Mote coroneted. Carriages drive up to this smoky old building than all the other banking houses in London. You may elbow a duke in these quarters, and brush royalty itself, if you are notcare- ■fuL THE FIRST DEPOSIT. The first article deposited in these safes was a magnificent aigrette of dia monds which the Sultan of Turkey took from his turban to place in the hat of Nelson. Lady Burdett Coutts, whose vast fortune is mainly invested in the bank, keeps here all her valuables. Tom Moore writes in his piary, that, on* cal ling one day on the heiress whom he had seen in all her splendor the night before, he found her preparing to send it all back to the bank. She asked him whether he would like to see it by day light, and, on his assenting, took him to a room up stairs where the treasure was deposited. Among it was the famous tiara of Marie Antoinette. On the poets inquiry as to the total value of her dress, she answered- in her quiet way, ‘'I think about a hundred thousand pounds.” • A SHREWD MOVE. •It is curious to know how Thomas Coutts first secured for his banking house the patronage of the aristocracy. Not long after his establishment in bus iness he determined to increase his own influence with moneyed men, and, as one means of accomplishing hig object, gave regular dinners to the leading bankers and. other financial magnates. At' one of these dinners, a city man, gossiping about his business, said a no bleman had applied to him that very day for a loan of £30,000, which he refused to make, because the security offered was not sufficient. Coutts said nothing, hut after hri guests had gone sent a message to the nobleman, re questing the favor of his lordship’s at tendance at his banking house in the Strand on the following morning The next day the- banker was gramma vy re ceiving a call from the peer, who was himself equally pleased by the tender of a loan for the £30,000. As the notes were handed to him, he asked : “But what security aui I to give you ?” “I shall be satisfied,” answered Coutts, ‘•with your lordship's note of hand.” The astonished nobleman gave tie note, and said that at prescut he should require only £10,000, and wished the banker to open an account. with him for the remaining £20,000. Coutts consented to this arrangement and had the satisfaction not long after of receiving in addition to the amount borrowed, a deposit of £200,000, the proceeds of the sale of some family es tates which the loan had enabled the nobleman to effect. At his recommen dation other members of the aristocracy transferred their accounts to Coutts, who now became the favorite banker of fashionable London. George the III. banked with him till he found that Coutts Had lent £100 000 (o his son in law, Sir Francis Burdett. to pay theex- penseaif his election to Parliament. A LUCKY LANCASHIRE LASS. Elizabeth, or Betty Starkey, as she was called, was the daughter of a small Lancashire farmer, and to good looks added the more valuable attraction of good sense and good humor. A few days before her marriage she was scrub bing the stairs when one of her master s clerks was about going up to change his clothes. It was a rainy, dirty day, and being anxious to have the work look well, Betty told the young man to take off his shoes so as nut to soil the stairs. Instead of doing so, however, the clerk took especial pains to stamp and scrape at every step, in order to dirty them as much as possible. Th;s waa too much for Betty, who shouted after him: “I’ll make yon pull off your shoes, and your stockings, too, whenever I choose to.” On hearing of the approaching mar riage the young man expected to be dismissed or made in some way to suf fer the consequences of his indiscretion. The young Mrs. Coutts, however, so far from showing her displeasure, was par ticularly gbaoious aud friendly to him. Such was her tact and capacity that, notwithstanding her deficiency in cul ture end refinement, she soon became the equal in manners and intelligence of the ladiee to whom her fortunate mar riage introduced her. Her daughters were so well brought up that they be came the ornaments of the aristocratic circles into which their liberal doweries helped to gain them admission Sophia. the oldest, married Sir Francis Burdett; Susan, the second, became Countess of Guilford; and Frances, tbe third, was made wife of the Marquis of Bute. MARRYING AN ACTRESS. Coutts' liking for bright, as well as aristocratic company, drew £o his din ner many wits, especially these of the theatrical profession, of which he was very fond. In this way he became ac quainted Vith Harriet Mellon, the well kuown actress, whom he married on the death of his first wife, in 1815. She proved an excellent wife to him, and at his death, seven years after their mar riage, at'the age of ninety-one, was left in unrestrained possession of all his per sonal and landed property, including a very large share in the immCfase annual profits of the banking house. Though she afterward married the Duke of St. Albans, Mrs. Coutts did not part with the control of her vast property, which she left, in supposed accordance with her first husband’s wishes, to his favor ite grand daughter. Lady Burdett Couts still retains her interest in the banking house, and her valuables are stored in the strong boxes built by her eccentric grandfather Some ten years ago it was .estimated that her wealth, in the form of sover eigns, would weigh thirteen tons and fill a hundred and seven Hour sacks. The old firm of Coutts & Co., in which she is the principal proprietor, is still the most aristocratic of London bankers, and has just admitted as a partner, Lord Walton Campbell, the brother of the ■ Marquis of Lome. • The Same Old Story. They have had a very pretty elope ment iu Cincinnati. Two children loved each other and they grew up loving and beloved. The bud blos somed into beautiful womanhood and the sprig became a limb' of manly strength. The girl's position hi socie ty was good; the boy’s was respecta ble, and he had made it in a good degree himself. He deserved great credit and got it, fur educating and =;r :... 1M hjy. .£?nltlir£- and good behaivior to social equality KWth the being he loved. His fre quent visits to the lady's home wc«e tolerated, but nefther the old n.an nor the old woman, nor an elder'sis ter thought, there was or could be anything serious between the two. But there was. B.oth the boy and the girl liked to church, and they wen together and were regular and ardent worshippers in a first-class meeting house. They never spoke of their religion, not even to the in dulgent parents, who had never dreamed of its character. It would have done no good, and. mightliave done harm to tell any body that they loved each other, and then they did not want to make a family disturbance until they were competent to assume all responsibli- ties. That time came. The bojtwas in a good business, and tht- girl was eighteen. He made the necessary arrangements to m rry somebody, on Saturday, and she made elaborate preparations to go to church oir the next Sunday. He came, as usual, and she was ready, and the two went out on the bright Sunday morning— to church? No, but to a cozy parson age, where a minister of love’s gos* pel made the twain one; and then they went together to a nice,retired boarding house, where suitable apart ments had been prepared for the couple. There t hey stayed in peace, that day and night. How was it with the old folks at home? Nelli did not return from church at the u«ual hour. It was supposed she had gone to a married sifter's house to spend the day, as she sometimes did. But she did not return at right. That was indeed strange—in fact alarming. The lath er, full of misgivings, went to the house where James lived, late at night, but James was not there, and had not. been there since mo.ning. The old man passed a restless, wan dering night. Morning came, and the hou-ehold were thoroughly alarm ed. Some one suggested that Nel lie and James miight have run off and got married; such tbing3 had been. The old man said that could be, and he stormed. It was prepos terous, monstrous, to think of, be sides Nellie was a dutiful child. An other hinted that Nellie was a woman now, and women have qneer ways with them. That. Monday morning was particularly blue to the fether who had lost a child, and unusual!/ brighttothe young man who had found 8 wife. She was tripping along with him toward the store where he was employed, when the old man, with a gathering storm on his brow, met the couple face to face. Few words were spoken. At the end of the interview the father led his daughter unwillingly away, and the young husband went on alone mak ing up his mind. The disconsolate wile was put in her room—second story back—and the door was locked from the outside, and the key jingled its complaint iu the deep recesses ot the old mail’s pantaloon pocket. The young lady told her folks that she was married, and her folks told her that she was as good as a widow,ana need never hope to see'her scamp of a husband again, i ut she did hope for all that. At night all the lady's garments, except her night clothes, even to shoes and stockings, were •taken away, to make sure of her staying in tbe cage. Her jailers had effectually precluded an escape by the window. So they thought at least, but they had ceased to remem ber how it was themselves. They were no match for young blood and true hearts. About the witching hour of twelve, when around was still, and the ladders gleamed in the moonlight, a pebble tikled against the young lady’s pai e. She was lying awake listening lor something of that kind. On looking out of the window she took in the whole situation. There was a ladder, and a strong man ascending its rungs. He may have been a robber, but she feared him not. Few preparations were necessary; in fact none could be made in the way of dressing for flight. And thus in her bare feet and flow ing white wrapper, delicately thin, and iter hair streaming,and her eyes beaming brighter than the stars,she descended that ladder, by the aid ol Iter gu'de,and those two,arm in arm, went out into the night. They had to explain themselves to several police men, but finally found safe sheitei and were happy. The next morning t-ho niil tittup].* sai'-v hi Bjl it WSS, atiti agreeing tuat opposition to such pic- ceedings would be of no use, they invited James and Nellie to come home and live with them.—St. Louis Republican. he willjM-oceed to dismiss that Mo doc leaS^k with a degrading epithet. Let us see what al-e some of the facts in tbe case, which the luture historian will build his work on. For six months a savage, wholly untaught in the science or art of war, naked to the breachclout, has held at bay- the entire avaijpble military force of a people who, if the ruling be left to themselves, are brave enough to whip all creation. He^t the head of sixty warriors, and with out cavalry or artillery, has soundly whipped his opponents in three bat tles; he has done this, although he was outnumbered forty to one by a force commanded by the best geuer- als of the nation, aud equippe i with all the best apliances of offense known to modern times. It is for the future historian to decide whether such a record proves the Modoc chief a “cowardly cur,” or a leader who has developed qualities which are worthy the hig lest admiration ol military- minds. Again, in the shooting of Canby, the historian will have to deal, not with Canby’s excellent and generous qualities, but with the naked facts. He will find, upon a dispassionate investigation, than at the very time Canby was negotiating under a flag of truce, he was gradually bringing his men into position, and was. in short violating one of the best known and most imperative rules of honor able warfare- 1 —that forbidding the pushing of military operations under the protection of a flag of truce. The historian will not justify the killing of the Federal leader under these circumstances, but we may be sure he will take a much more lenient view of the act. and will not hold the on trial and then ordered 100. He can sell them at 40 cents per pound. A pie bakery of Chicago tried them and found that pies made from them could not be distinguished from green epple pies. The price seems high at 20 cents, but compared with apples in barrels it is low. . We have ten factories tinder the Alden patent in the West, two of which we own exclusively, and eight of vVhich we own a half interest in. There is one at Anna, and another at South Pass, Union county, one at Pana Christ ian county, and one at Fowler] Adams county Illinois. We have ready a $1,- 000 machine that will dry 50 -bushels "h day. The larger ones dry 100 to 150. We can use bruised apples. All of the fruit can be used.—MobihReyiattr. [From the Boston Journal of Chemistry,] Good Advfce to Young Doctors. “How to practice medicine” was the subject of the valedictory address of Professor L. P. Yandell, Jr., to the graduates of the University of Louis ville last March. In developing the precept that ‘ it is the duty of the phy sician to relieve his patients n'fo, tuto, et jucunde,’’ the following sensible advice is given under the '■’jucunde" division of the text: In all things study thequiet, the ease, the enjoyment of your patients. Give them abundmt iresh air and ice and cold water and fruit, when they desire such things. As to food, obey their appztites. Hunger and thirst have been well styled our “physical conscience," which in the sick room is never to be disregarded. They are safer guides in respect to diet and drink that can be found in all our medical philosophy. They make known to us what the living organism Deeds. Whatever sick people have a true desire for they ought, there fore. to be iudulged in. When 70u£ slain man wholly guiltless in bring-* kittle patients have been sick a long mg upon himself his tion. own dostiuc- Captain Jack.—What History will Say of the Modcc Chief- [From the Chicago Times.] In the case of a blackguard his first impulse or instinct, when there arises oppo-ition, is to hurl an oppio- brious epithet at his opponent. Ami so a weak evening newspaper con cern of the city dismisses Captain Jack as a.‘*cowardly.cur." If Captain Jack was a “cowardly cur," what breed of dogs were the several hundred blue coated soldiers whom he had held at bay for sever al months-, and whom he souudly thrashed upon no less than three oc casions ? When all the blackguards of cheap journalism have had their say on this matter,when the lerocious advocates of extermination have secured the hanging ofCaptain Jack and his com panions,when the blatherskites have fumed aud fretted over this matter, then will history take hold of these events, and p sterity will learn some facts which this age will not listen to. We want the lands of these In dians; we want the privilege of trad ing with them and cheating them; we want their women to be always willing to become the lemans of any bearded ruffian who may choose to demand the sacrifice; we want the right to shoot an Indian if he steals a pony; but we want immunity for the white who may rob or murder an Indian—and wanting all these things, like free-born Americans and true Democrats, as we are, we will have them. And so long as we will have them, so long there will rage a carnival of riot, robbery, blood ami extermination along our Indian fron tiers; and so long will -tbe tongues and pens of ali, save the partisans of slaughter, be quiet, and so will the historian find no listening auditory. But when extermination has done its work; when an equality and negro loving people shall have secured the lar-t pony, the last acre and valua bles belonging to the Indian, and have forwarded the last of the race to the happy hunting grounds, then will there be a disposition to listen to the trnth. In such case we fancy that any one calmly reviewing tbe events of the Modoc war and surrender, will need to be a mangy cur Min self before Drying Fruit, A wonderful fruit-drying apparatus is now operating in the North, workin a complete revolution iu that lino. We ought to Have it here, for in the lower duuthero States thousands upon thous and* of bushels of fruit will go to waste this year for want of a convenient mar ket. The new apparatus is somewhat expensive—too much so for a person who grows fruit on a small scale, but the “Farmer and Gardener” thinks money could be made by enterprising companies who would form and put up one in each neighborhood where fruits and vegetables could or might be had for drying on a large scale. Once the concern was under way, creating a good market for products, the people would exert themselves, and there would be no trouble about supplies. The editor does not look far to find an example. Six years ago watermelons were grown in the neighborhood of Augusta for con sumption iq the city, and for a limited exportation to other places. Now the area planted in watermelons for ship ment to New York market has assuajed such vast .proportions that the' water melon crop of Richmond county, Geor gia, is of more value than all tbe ether fruit crops combined. The cause of this innovation is due to the fact that »good market and ready sale has been secured. We would like to see a fruit drying establishment put up in this section; If properly managed, it would pay the originator well, and give a great impe tus to fruit growing. We give extracts from the discussions of the Illinois State Horticultural So ciety, which may prove of interest to our readers. T hese ara copied from a recent number of tbe Prairie Farmer: Hon. S. A. E. Holoumb, of South Pass, explained tbe Aiden process, and added: “Our experitme with apjles is, that we make six pounds of dried apples to the bushel. We have dried a lew peaches and pears the past season, and about 8000 bushels of apples, n at over 50 of which were fit to go to mar ket. It cost S2000 to prepare, the wui k being mostly done by persons who would otherwise have been idle or dme little. The fruit costa us 12i cents per pound, put in barrels. We -must sell at 20 cents to make it a paying investment At that price however, it is twice as cheap as ordinary dried fruit." Schuyler (Ceuk Co.) exhibited sam ples of the Autumn Swair, dried, that appeared very white; also cf pumpkin, Hubbard squash, pea.bos and quiaeies AtNilea, Michigan, he stated, we can prepare apples bought at 40 cents per bushel for a coat of ten cents per pound. We do not put them on the market be fore January. The fruit is much liked. A men at Denver bought two barrels time, and have become anaemic and ematiated, it may be for want of prop, er food, have them carried to the table, and allow them to indicate by signs, if they have no words, what their systems require to build .hem up again. Infants suffer great distress when ill, oq account of thirst, wbfjh they have no ' way making known to us except by moans and cries. You will often be delighted to see how instantly their complaints cease on your giving the little sufferers a drink of cold water. Dismiss from your minds, then, and everywhere dis countenance the absurd notion that cold drinks can ever be injurious to the sick. Avoid noise in the sick room. Whis pering, too, should be discontenanc- ed. The attention of patients is at traded by it, and they are aDnoyed and fatigued by the effort to hear. Some of my colleagues whisper that this is es pecially the case with lady patients. As a general rule, you may safely trust the feelings of convalescents in regard to setting up and taking exercise, as well as reference to diet In a word, you can scarcely consult the inclinations of the sick too far, escept as to physic, of which of course they know nothing. But I must put you on your guard against yielding to the advice of their nurses and friends. Consult with no one but a doctor, and never take a sug gestion from a non-professional per son. You will *-ncoanter number less sage individual everywhere ready to aid j ou by -their counsel, based upon long experience or some thing they have heard. II you adopt their suggestions, the patient and attendants will soon and natu rally conclude that they know as much about physic «s you do. It will be well, therefore, respectfully but firmly to put aside*a 11 such in terference. Florida Industries. • The ladies of Florida, says the Albany News, are carrying on a lively and remunerative iudustry in palmetto braiding ; in Fernandma alone a number of workers are en gaged constantly in making hats for home and foreign markets. Hun dreds of dozen of palmetto hate arc- shipped to New York, bringing into the Island City about three thousand dollars a week, and furnishing lig.it and pleasant employment for fait hands hitherto unaccustomed t manual labor. The mapia for “rus tic hats” is raging in Paris, and con sequently American workmanship is more highly regarded on this side of the Atlantic. If there is any thing that can add a charm to this graceful head covering, it is a knowl edge oi the fact that it is imported —having crossed the ocean aud re turn d with no other addition than the heavy duty impoaed on all French imports. The ladies of Florida have always been noted for their exquisite handi craft. Their Spanish and Mexican needle-work is very beautiful. Their handkerchiefs are only 'rivalled by the costliest laces, and in years gone by were among the expensive luxu ries of Southern ladies. The feathers of their native birds were fashioned into the most beauti ful flowers.—The snowy plumage of the white heron arranged in long plumes made as graceful an orna ment for a hat as cevld be desired, and during the war were iu great demand. Our own Georgia women excelled in some of these aits dur ing that memorial period. How it is that these pretty little feminine accomplishments so soon fell into disuse? The women of the South are the conservators of Southern pride and patriotism, and there is something lovely beyond expression in this self-susta ning patronage of home productions. —»* A Revolt in a Harem. The short sojourn of the Shah, of Persia in Moscow was marked by a striking change in his arrangements, lor his Majesty while in that city came to the determination to send back to Teheran the four *or five Persian ladies who'liad traveled so far in hi.s household. It is stated during the journey from Asirikhan to Moscow the Shah was. occupied with the question of tbe proper ac commodation ot these ladies Who traveled under the title of servants. His Majesty telegraphed to Moscow more than once upon the subject, aud, ou learning that apartments in the palace had been prepared for them, the Shah suddenly-decided on their being placed in a couutry house near Moscow. The ladies not relish ing this isolation, sent a messenger to the Shah complaining that they were not suitably lodged. His Majesty was displeased with his Ministers, and directed that tho ladies should to. the palace, lore be proceetleu ‘to tbe Tbeatrfe. It appears that his favorite wile wish ed to go also to the theat re, but the Shah would not permit it. Ou the next eveuing, after . His Majesty’s second visit to the ballet and to the ball at the hotel of Prince Dolgorou* kof, it is said that the ladies were loud in their complaints, probably because being in Europe they expec ted to be allowed in some sort to fol low European fashions. However, the Shah determined to send them back, and, despite their tears and protestations, be adhered to bis de termination, so that a few hours'be fore his majesty left Moscow the 1 -dies started by railway for Riszco, en route for Persia. The Latest London Scandal. The recent death in Ireland of tho .Marchioness of Waterford reopens.- a singular chapter of ariatocratio scandal. A number of years ago the deceased waa married in London to the Hon. Mr. Vivian.- Shortly after she became in timate with the present Marquis of Waterford, then a young man in thn life guards. Tbe intimacy gave rise to many unpleasant remarks, which were confirmed when the two eloped. -Mr. Vivian applied fur a divorce, which waa granted in doe eourse, and then it trans pired that tbe dissolved marriage had never possessed any binding foroe^ae ' Mr. Vivian had a wife I>y a previous mirriage still living. When the de ceased eloped with the young marquis he went with him to reside on his ea st ate in Ireland, where ebe has sinoe re mained. A few months age, when it became known that she was about to give birth to a child, the fact waa an nounced that after her divorce from Mr. Vivian she was duly married to the Marquis of Waterford.' Subsequently she gave birth to a still-born child and immediately died. Lady Waterford is a cousin of the unfortunate Lady Mor dant, with whose scandalous life and snbeeqnent insanity the Prince of Wales was mixed np two or three jeers ago, and her death udder the circumstances detailed is likely to create considerable sensation in tbe fast fashionable world of London. Mrs. Thaxter, in her “Reminisoenoes mong tbe Idee of Shoals.” talk of a primitive and unlettered Shoelassn who went to tbe maia-land, and discovering a frog for the first time, triumphantly sked—-‘What kind of a d—d Dug do you call that?" The story is an old one, and has been told among the fisher men these twenty years, and best of all, it is tree.
