I’ve got a beautiful recipe for chocolate eclairs, and on Friday evening I am-going there to make npsll that I can, so that the school children will buy them on Saturday. I know how to make cinnamon ap ple tarts, too, and lemoh drops and cocoannt balls." . “Grace, I do believe you have tken leave of your senses,” said Medora May. “One would think it was disgrace enough for Aunt De borah—our own mother’s sister—to open a horrid little huckster shop without our mixing ourselves up in the affair.” “Aunt Debby must live you, know,” said Grace, who was perch ed, kitten fashion, on the window sill, feeding the canary with bits ol sparkling white sugar. “And Cous in Nixon couldn’t keep her any longer, and her eyes are not strong enough fo r fine needlework, and her education has not lilted her to be a teacher, and her poor old rheu matic bones keep her from going behind a counter or entering a fac tory. I suppose you wouldn’t be willing to have her come here and live with you ?” “I!” cried Medora. “Do you sup pose I want to proclaim to the whole town that I have such a di lapidated old relation as that?” “I would take her quick enough,” said Grace, “if I didn’t board with Mrs. Howitt, and share the little up-stairs back room with the two children. Just wait until I marry some rich man,” she added, with a saucy uplifting of her auburn brows, “and then see if I don’t furnish up a stately apartment for Aunt Deb by!” ' “Don’t talk nonsense,” said Medo ra, acidly, “It’s very likely, isn’t it, that a tactory girl like you is go ing to marry a rich man!” Grace Craxail laughed merrily. All through life she and her cousin, Medora May, had agreed to differ on most points. Grace, seeing no other career before her, had, on the death of her last surviving parent, •cheerfully entered ft factory, while Medora, taking her stand on the platform of a false gentility, had done tine aewing.and.silk embroid ery on the sly to .siipporti herself, putting on all the airs of a young lady of fashion the while. And now *Aunt Deborah May, to the infinite disgust of her aristocratically in clined niece, had actually opened a 'little low-windowed shop in a shady street just out of the main thor ough faro, and, as Medora despair ingly expressed it, “gone into trade!” For Aunt Debby, in her bewil dered loneliness, had scarcely known what to do until Grace Clax- all came to the rescue with her hopeful courage and straightfor ward common sense. “I only wish it wasn’t sinful to take a good big dose of laudanum and put myself out of the Way,” sighed the poor old lady. ‘•Now, Aunt Debby, that doesn’t sound a bit like you,” said Grace, cheerfully. “But what am I to do ?” said Aunt JJeborah. “What can you do ?” said Grace. “I don’t know as I am good for anything,” said thei old lady, with a quiet tear or two, “except to hAp around the house, and I ain’t strong, enough for regular hired help. Your uncle always used to say that I was a master hand at making bread.” • - “Then make^t,” brightly inter* rupted Grace. “Eh!” said Aunt Debby. ' “There’s a nice little store to let* on Bay street,” went on Grace, “for $10 a month.” “But I haven’t got $10 a month,” feebly interrupted Aunt Deborah. “Fll lend it to you,” said Grace, "out of the wages I have saved. And there’s a pretty bedroom at the back of the shop, and a clean dry base ment under it, where you can bake your bread. I know, for the sister of the lady where I board is look ing for dressmaking rooms, and I heard her speaking about it.” “Do you mean to open a bakery ?” said bewildered Aunt Debby. “Not exactly that,” explained Grace. “But if Mrs. Howitt or Mrs. Taylor, or any other of the ladies aronnd here could get real home made bread, such as you make, do you Suppose they would put up with the sour, staff they get at the bakers’ shops ? And you could easi ly get up a reputation on your -rais in cakes and fried crullers, and New England pn«pkla. pies, NoWi couldn’t yon?” a? The old lacly brightened up a lit tle. . ■- . ' “ “I ufeed to be prtiMgr gdodat cook ing,” said she. “And if you think I could support myself sen*—" ** •**«««* it!” cried cheerful Grace. “And I’ll go there with you this very day to look at the place, and will engage it for three months on trial. And I can paint you a sign to pat over your door: ‘Home made bread by Mrs. Deborah May!’ And I’ll hem you some curtains and arrange the shelves in the lower window! I almost wish I was go- ingtobe your shop-girl!” she ad ded, merrily. “But I can help you in the evening, you know.” Grace Craxali’s prophecies proved correct. Annt Debby’s delicious home-made bread, whiter than powdered lillies, sweet as ambrosia, soon acquired a reputation, and the old lady could scarcely bake it fast enough. People came halt a dozen blocks to buy the yelfow pumpkin pies and delicious apple tarts; chil dren brought hoarded pennies to in vest in chocolate sweetmeats, va nilla caramels, and cream cakes with puffy shells and delicious cen ters of sweetness. The little money drawer grew fat with coins, and Aunt Debby’s dim eyes grew bright and hopeful again. And one day Herbert Valance, walking by with Medora May,stop ped and looked in. “isn’t that yiur cousin Grace,” said he, “behind the counter?” .Medora turned crimson with vex ation. “Mycousin Grace!” she said. “No, indeed! We are not in trade!” What possessed her to utter this deliberate falsehood Medora could not afterwards have told. Partly the sting of false shame, partly a disinclination for Herbert Valance to know that her relations were not, to use her expression, “ladies and gentlemen.” Mr. Valance looked up at the sign, over the door. “The name is May,” he remarked, indifferently. “Yes. said Medora, angry at her self blushing so deeply, “but we are no relation." Mr. Valance thought over the matter; he afterwards met Miss May at a party given by a friend, where pretty Grace Craxail was al so present; he had taken quite a fancy to the bright blue eyes and delicate blonde beauty of the form er. Vanance hall, on the hill just out of the city, was solitary enough now that his sisters had ail married and gone away, and iierhaps a man might find a less attractive and graceful wife than Medora May. But he could not be mistaken,he thought, in Grace Craxali’s identity. And so the next evening about ^thp-same time, he sauntsred into tfie.shdp,' Grace was behind the daintily clean little counter, taking some newly baked maple .caramels off the pan.- She looked up with a smile.-* “Good-evening,-Mr. Valance,” said she. “So,” he thought, “I wasn’t mis taken after all. And the little blue eyed seraph is mortal enough to tell a lie in spite of her angelic ap pearance.” But he looked serenely at Grace. “I didn’t knowyou were in trade,” said he. “Didn’t you? Well,” retorted Grace. “I am my Aunt Deborah’s shop-girl at present I always come herein the evening to h’elp her, be cause,” she added, with a sweet shade of seriousness coming over her face, “aunt was old and poor, and she did not quite know how to maintain herself in independence; and, unfortunately, my wages at the factory are not enough for us both. So I advised her to open this ss and she did. and she is do- fivoll; and she bakes the most lieious bread and pies you ever ate, so,” with a saucy twinkle an. -der her eyelashes, “if you know, of any customers; will you please ree- commend our firm ?” /To be sure I shall/.Jip answered in’the same spirit. “And Pm very glad, Miss Craxail, to see that you are not ashamed of being a working girl.” “Of course I am not,” said Grace. “ Why shou :d I be ?” “But your cousin Medora is.” Grace gave a little shrug of her shoulders. “Very likely,” said she. “Medora and I differ in many things.” Mr. Valance bought a pound of caramels ana went away. “She is a beauty,” he said to him self : “and she is a sensible beauty into the bargain. One of those rara avises in our country, a thoroughly well balanced girl.” He must have been very well pleased with his purchase, for he came again the next day, just in time to walk home with Grace Crax ail. And they talked over aunt Deborah’s affairs, and concluded, as flour was low just then, it would be a favorable opportunity for the old lady to lay in her winter stock, ugh Mr. Valance who was ac ted with due of the great New York grain merchants. Only a few weeks had elapsed wheq Medora May was electrified to learn that her cousin .Grace was engaged. “To some master baker or jour neyman confectioner, I suppose,” she said contemptuously. “No," said Grace, with eyes roguishly sparkling; “to Mr. Her bert Valance.” “I—don’t—believe—it,” said Me dora, growing red, then pale. “But it’s really so,” said Grace. “Apd we are to be married in three months, and Aunt Debby is to come to the hall to live with me as soon as she can dispose of her business to advantage. And, dear Medora, I hope yon will come often and vis it me there.” Medora May did not answer. She could not Bnt in her secret heart she recognized how infinitely more successful in life’s lists had been Grace’s true, frank honesty than bar own subtle and. 4nvi«n*j greatest, grandest todw conrse- Like many another, how ever, the lesson had come to her too late. The World’s Exposition. Every patriotic citizen of this country cannot bat rejoice that the World’s Exposition has come tri umphant out of the clouds of mis statement and slander, which for weeks past have so darklyenvelop- ed it- and now stands before, 'the world, acknowledged by every fair-| Iove r of my soul.” As sheconclud minded intelligent visitor, of whom McClure, of the Philadelphia Times, Halsted, of the Cincinnati Commer cial Gazette, Governors Hamilton, of Illinois, Cameron, of Vi Bourne, of Bhode Island, Knott, Kentucky, and Vice President Hendricks are instances Such Is Life. . A beautiful girl, with large blue •yes and golden hair, but shabbily dressed, greatly interested a large crowd of gentlemen on one of the East River ferry boats the other day by singing very sweetly and tender ly the well-known hymn, “Jesus. The Conductor’s Story. “The narrowest escape I ever had was a good many years ago. The ro d was new then, and I was run ning a passenger train in the West. It was a dreary, rainy, chilly night in March. We had a pretty heavy train, and were making good time despite the bad condition of the road. Soon after midnight a storm came on, and the rain and wind wee terrible. But we had to plough along through it, though there was great uneasiness among the passen gers, and, to tell the truth, I didn’t feel altogether safe myself. “About ten miles from H we learned that Camp Creek was way beyond her banks, and was rapidly rising. There was a large trestle bridge over this creek, but it was regarded as being perfectly safe. The wind was now blowing a gale, it had turned cold, and snow was now mixed with the pouring rain. But on we flew, and I trusted to Providence that all wonid be well. “I had just snuggled down in a seat to have a short nap, when 1 was brought to my feet in an instant by the frantic shriek of the engine and the plunging and groaning of the car-wheels on the track as the brakes held them fast. There was trouble ahead. And we were near ing the bridge! Looking out of the window ahead into the distance, I saw a huge bonfire on the track, the flames of which lit up the surround ings vividly. Th6 train came to a halt, and within ten feet of the en gine, and on the very brink of an abyss, roared the huge beacon fire. The bridge had gone down. “But who built the fire and kept it burning, was the question. Ah that was easily learned, for there standing in the storm and the cold was a woman, clasping in her arms a babe, and about her clung three shivering children. The passengers had crowded upon the scene ere this, and many a hand was out stretched to lead the heroic woman and her little ones into a place of warmth and safety in the train. “There she told her story. She lived in a poor shanty only a short distance from the bridge and had heard it go down with a crash into the rushing waters. Knowing our train would soon be due, she built the fire on the track to warn us. Having no fuel of her own, and fail ing to find any, she had piled her bed-clothes in a heap, lighted them, and kept the fire burning by feeding it with what -canty furniture her house contained. She told us with a sob that baby’s cradle had gone to keep the beabon light burning. “About that time everybody was blubbering. I think one or two of the ladies were praying and crying. But that didn’t last long. One big, redfaced old man just took tiff his hat, a tall stovepipe, and went through the train in a manner that would have done credit to any well- organized gang of train-robbers on ly the passengers crowded up to him with their valuables. They show ered gold, silver, and paper money into that hat until it was full. Some gave a fifty, others more, some less, and one old fellow put in his check and-then wiped his eyes and blew his nose. Oh, they gave her an ova tion. It was a heroic act, and one that no doubt saved many lives.” “How much was collected ?” we asked, with mercenary cariosity, as the train whistled for Aurora. “Well, sir, I don’t remember the exact amount, but enough to buy baby a cradle that would grace the little home which the rest of the money purchased.” ed one verse, a large, well-dressed man called a deck band and order ed him to pat her out of the cabin. 1 She looked around despairingly and into tears. There were cries of “Throw him overboard/ “Let-hpr “Shame/ The larg£ man, Ipokqd like a iraiirpa^ Ereii ■; gaid' th*t the J.Tf -A bill to forever prohibit railroads sition of which history furnishes any record. It is such an Exposition in which every citizen has an interest. Ev ery object it can conserve has a di rect influence upon the welfare and prosperity of the country. The immense expense will un doubtedly deter the citizens of this generation from the attempt to or ganize another. Hence the pres ent will be the only opportunity presented during this century of at tending a great World’s Exposi tion. Railroad companies have already established the lowest rate ever heretofore given. They have agreed to make exceptionally low excursion rates to the people who wish to be present at the special “State Days.” We advise all our readers who possibly can to attend the Exposi tion. The weather at New Orleans is now, after a season of. unexam pled atrocity,simply superb. Every thing about the Exposition is now complete. • The rates of entertain ment and accommodation areas low as at any time and with low transportation rates no other incen tive is needed to insure a large at tendance from this, section. . One Hero Squelched. “I read Brown’s new novel to-day,” she remarked. “How did it turn ont ?” he inquir ed. “Badly. The ending is very sad.” “Ah?” “Yes. She married him.” Time for Actio*. John Smith received a vote for United States Senator in the Illi nois Legislature the other day. As there are now time Joneses in the Senate, John donbtless thinks that it is high time to take steps to break into that body himself. The Retiring Speaker. With the termination of the Forty eighth. Congress Mr. Carlisle lays down the symbols of the authority which daring two sessions he has exercised in the House of Represen tatives. Elected after a sharp struggle among the Democratic members of the House by those who sought pre ferment for him as a man of extreme ideas concerning free trade and the tariff, it is proper for us to say that he has discharged his duties with moderation, wisdom and dignity, to the advantage of the public and to the satisfaction of just men of every party. It may, perhaps, be alleged that he had in some measure been lacking in that resistless energy in pushing forward the public business which has characterized some oi his predecessors; but certainly no one has ever exceeded him in fair ness, in courtesy, in fidelity to the obligations of that exalted station Without yielding anything to the just claims of the party to which he belongs he has conciliated the re spect aud confidence of his political opponents of every name; and the resolution of thanks passed accord ing to custom at the close of the recent session was a sincere ex pression of the respect and esteem felt for him upon all sides of the house. Who will be speaker of the next House will in due time be determin ed by caucus of the majority; but it is certain beforehand that none of its members will surpass Mr. Car lisle in the influence due to ability, learning and elevation of charac ter-.—iF.

The murmurs of discontent and anger arose around him, at which he seemed somewhat discon certed and, approaching the girl said: “What’s the matter, sissy?’ Then she told her pitiful story of a sick mother, a dead father, no work, hanger, distress and her anx iety to get employment. “Oh, don’t send me to prison/ she cried, blend ing completely down. The lari* man was abashed and the crowd looked angry and scornful again. He at once apologized and, to show his regret for his blander, imme diately took out a $5 bill, which he dropped into his hat. Then he pass ed the hat, which was soon filled with money. After the passengers had left the boat, he joined the girl and they went off together. He was a weil-anown clever confidence man, and the yoeag woman was his wife, as clever an he.

An international military drill under the auspices of Gov McEnery will take place at New Orleans about Mhy 12th. Six thousand dol lart' in money and other prizes, in cluding medals given by the Expo sition management, will be distri buted. Col H. H. Baker, of the gov ernor’s staff, is manager of the enter prise. An insurrection has broken out in Albania. All available Turki.-h troops are being hurried to the scene. A force of Turkish regulars has been defeated by the insur gents near Lyonment. At Pres- rend the garrison has been driven -into the citadel by ie insurgents and is now b^seige 1. The Austrian onsul and orthodox priests have tls» taken refuge in|the citadel. The insurgents have cut the telegraph lines communicating with the dis tricts in rebellion. Bishop Baltes, of Alton, Illinois, having given his consent, the ol d bell belonging to the old Catholic church at Kaskaskla, Hi, and once the seat of the Spanish empire in the Mississippi valley, has been sent to the World’s Exposition at New Orleans. It is the first bell that ever tolled west of the Alleghany mountains. It was cast at Roch elle, France, in 1741, and was pre sented by the king of France to General Briere de Lisle, French commander in Tonquin,- telegraphs that he has relieved the beleagnred French garrison at Thuyenquan. He sa>s: “We arrived on the third inst. at Thuyenquan. The black flags and the Ynnnan army had oc cupied a pass the sides of which were inaccessible and had bnilt forts with three lines of trenches be fore Duoc. The fighting was severe. Onr troops behaved more admira bly than ever. “The enemy raised the siege of Thuyenquan yesterday evening,the French garrison having fought eighteen days.. After the first broach in the body of the fortress the garrison sustained seven as saults causing an immense loss to the enemy. This siege should be counted among the most brilliant on the pages of history. The gunboat Mitrilleause actively assisted in the defense of Thnyenqnan. Gen eral Regrier’s column has been pnshed rapidly northward since the capture of Langson. He has now destroyed the line of forts which guarded the Chinese frontier and has blown np the fortifications which have been known as the gate of China.

John Fiske contributes the third and last of his series of papers on American Political Ideas, entitled “Maifest Destiny,” in which he re enforces Mr. Gladstone’s recent ut terance respecting the natural al liance of the English-speaking na tions. The incoming of a new and Dem ocratic Administration gives spe cial significance to a paper by the Hon. John Bigelow on. Jefferson’s Financial Diary—an autograph MS volume which has recently found its way into the library of the Hon. Samuel J. Tilden. This volume contains a fall account of Jefferson’s expenditures from 1791 to 1803—in cluding, therefore, three years of his first Presidential term. One of the most interesting paper in the number is Dr. A. L. Banney’s on the human brain embracing the important resalts of recent investi gation concerning the localization of cerebral functions. Mary E. Wilkins short story, “A Souvenir,” is a’marvelous bit of real ism. Other stories are contribut ed by Constance Cary Harrison and the Rev. Canon Machray. Among the poems, one entitled The Succory/ by a new writer— Margaret Deland—is especially no ticeable. George William Curtis, in the Editor’s Easy Chair, treating of our representatives at foreign courts, draws attention to truly American character of Mr. Lowell’s Birming ham address. He also discusses Miss Octavia Hill’s work in London Jefferson’s opinion of newspapers, and Dr. Parkman’s new volume, “Montcalm and Wolfe.” Mr. Charles Dudley Warner introduces a very amusing Drawer, with some inter esting speculations concerning our coming President, who, unconscious of his high destiny has just attained his majority.

In the Southern Telegraph case heard before Judge Boar man, in the United States Court, Atlanta, the cases of Mahone and Lochrane vs the Southern Telegraph compa ny were consolidated and the same reciever was appointed that had been appointed in Virginia. The decree requires him to give bonds for $80,000. Notice of all further mo tions and orders, as well as all dis position of property in this jurisdic tion is to be given to Judge Loch rane, who becomes by this consoli dation the company’s plaintiff with Senator Mahone. The London Pall Mall Gazette says it believes in the correctness of the news received last evening to the effect that the Russians have advanced their outposts in the Zul- flkol pass farther south instead of withdrawing them north as request ed to do by England. The Gazette states that they cannot donbt that grave fears are entertained of a collision between the Russian and Afghan troops, as this last advance has placed opposing outposts. There is no indication, however, says the Gazette, tbit the Russians have gone beyond what they consider the Afghan boundaries. The snccessorship for the vacancy created by the acceptance of a cabi net portfolio by Senator Garland is the chief topic of interest. The Arkansas legislature has extended the session, which would have oth erwise expired on the 12th, until the 27th instant, for the purpose of elec ting a senator. The balloting will begin on the X7th. Following are are the avowed candidates: Poin dexter Dunn, Congressman from the first district; ex Gov. James H. Berry; Wm. M.
