'And stop alone upon the other aide—

A WIDOW BY PROXY.
Should yon wish to know to what
height nrtiHtic gardening cun he brought
lot mo advise you to pay a visit to Haar
lem (in Holland), where near the beau
tiful pork Bile; 1 with doer, which makes
such a beautiful walk, yon will /tail the
fr.sucas horticulturist, Olaorcboets. A fter
lie line hliowii you his astonishing collec
tion of tulips, hyacinths, carnations,
anemones, crowsfcet, cnmelias, prim
roses, cowslips, cactus and pelurgonims,
you will bo delighted. Try and |r-
BUade him to allow you to sec his six
remaining daughters and you will be
dazzled.
It is the story of (ho seventh, or
rather the first, which I am about to
toll you. Just ns this worthy man, who
lias remained poor, although his con
servatories are full of treasures, told it
mo last year.
At tho end of tho yenr 1882 lio had
seven daughters on his hands. How
ever, tho Misses Claereboots were as
virtuous as they wero lovely, as sensible
as they were poor, alas 1 and their appe
tites wore only equaled by their virtue.
Ono winter evening, at tho end of one
of thoso meals which absorbed all the
profits of the business, Glaereboets
lighted his pipe, and with a mysterious
air drew from Ids pocket a letter with a
foreign postmark.
“Guess who has written to mo?" ho
said.
Hoven pairs of well-developed shoul
ders shrugged simultaneously, expres
sive of ignorance.
“Why, Mioheels Maasson, the son of
onr former neighbor, the contractor. He
is tho cashier of Planter Vuu Meeruyi,
in Java. Ho wishes to settle down, and
seeks one of your hands in marriage.”
“Which one, papa?” exclaimed five
somewhat tremulous volet™, v
“It's tho tame to'him. llv’was eleven
years old wiiVu he left. Ho is now
twenty-eight, so you may >. N ) dor,stand
tlint hchas nrfchoioi? it is f}? you to
decide, and f Tun going to lake your
opinion, beginning at the eldest. Well,
Mina, will you msn-y Mioheels ?”
“Yes, papa,” replied tho eldest Miss
Claereboets, without hesitation. She
was a magnificent blonde, twenty-four
years old.
Around tho silent room six discreetly
subdued sighs were heard.
“Right, my child,” said the father, as
quietly as if it had been tho matter of
delivering a hundred hyncinthos.
“Mioheels is a good fellow, with excel
lent references. He sends his deed, nil
in order, to the lawyer for tho marriage.
Wo will avail ourselves of its being fall
to cousuinnto tho alfair, so that you
shall not arrive there In tho hot
went her.”
Three weeks later Mina had bcioome
Mrs. Maassen. When I say had, it re
quires some explanation.
The Dutch, tho best colonists in the
world and the most practical people I
know of, have devised nn easy means by
which thoir single friends settled in the
Antipodes can easily bo married in tho
metropolis.
To nmko tho bridegroom pass two
months at sea, thereby to attend tho
registry for ten minutes and tlm church
for perhaps 'double that time was a bar
barity. To soml out the intended was
dangerous. She might find the suitor
eaten tip by a tiger.
To get over this the Dutchman insti
tuted marriage by proxy. For instance,
yon may be at Sumatra and you wish a
line looking helpmate. Ton have noth
ing to do but to send to n friend at Itot
tordurn or Utrecht a power of attorney
to act on your behalf. Ho marries her
without charging any commission what
soever; she carries her title deeds away
with her. He registers her in the first
steamer and four or five months after
the order is given tho commission as ex
ecuted and delivered.
Thus the beautiful lilina, who bad
sc.’ii many of her Iriends married in the
same way, did not consider tho process
anything unusual.
She cried a littJc, however, ns she
embarkod on n superb steamer belong
ing to the “Koninkylko Kcdcrlnndscho
stoomboot Maatsehappy” and saw her
native land disappearing.
Presently the Batavia got out to sea
nnd then she was too much otherwise
engaged to be aide to find time to cry.
and she never came ontof her stateroom
till they reached Suez. Then awful
storms nrose, the shaft broke and they
reached Colombo by sailing, arriving
jus', in time to catch the boat for Singu
poor. Mina was so ill as to bo uncon
scious. Sho was carried from one ship
to another again they weiv at sea, tho
only difference she r< ih 1 being that
tho basin close to her \ .w, of china in
stead of copper.
Sho arrived at Sing p r in a pros
trate condition image .. • h, r lit t hour
hod oome. Again ' ■ - ■ transferred
like a bit of baggage to Blather steamer
and two days lutor they arrived at Ba
tavia. At last a fourth boat landed her .
at Bamnmng. ITere she found herself
in the alaxle of tho Dutch Consul, ly
ing on a couch which seemed to lie toss
ing up and down, although on dry land,
till she thought she would lie thrown
out on the floor.
Hlie was jnst lamenting tho inatten
tion of every ono to her, when a young
man with fair mustache and straight
forward-looking blue eyes entered the
office of the Consul, who was busily
writing to catch tho mail.
"I am expecting a young woman
from Europe, whom I hnvo married by
proxy," said tbo visitor, "and I have
come to make inquiries."
"Sho has just been brought hero,”
Hold the official, without stopping his
writing. “Blie is in a very bad state,
and you would do mo a favor by taking
tier off my couch as soon as possible.
Leave your address and the baggage
will be forwarded.”
Tho meeting of tho pair may bo im
agined. He timid, she n weakened,
prostrate ghost of her former self.
The young colonist was, however,
olensed with his acquisition, and hailing
two coolies, had his wife taken to the
Snmarang depot. Tho train took them
half way to Djokjokarta, where two ‘al
most undo men lifted tho well-nigh in
sensible Mina out.
An hour later she was seated next to
her legal husband on tho rough cush
ions of a two-wheeled cart, drawn by
two jogging oxen, which shook her ter
ribly. However, Mina felt better. Bhe
looked up at her bnsband, and was
pleased with his appearance. Gun in
hand, ho seemed to watch furtively
every nook and cranny as they passed,
but paid her no attention. This seemed
strange to her.
“You are very fond of sport, it
seems r sho safe, In a semf-reproaeTirnJ
tone. These ivvrn tho first words sho
had uttered to her companion.
“I never was so frightened at meeting
gnmo as lam at tins moment. This is
a lovely climate, and 1 hope you will
like tho country ; but it has one disad
vantage. After six o’clock in the even
ing it is infested with tigers, who prowl
about in search of what they may de
vour, so that it is best to remain at
home after that hour. However, wo
have passed tho most dungorons part,
and we are getting near homo."
l’oor Mina t Bho no longer wished to
talk. Bhe trembled from head to foot.
At last, they arrived at a fine bungalow,
raised off tho ground, to avoid the
snakes and adders, with verandahs all
around. On tho steps stood a pale, thin
old lady, who came forward, attracted
by the noise of wheels. Bho was Miua'B
mother-in-law.
"Wlml, my child, yon liorq already ?’’
cried the old lady, much surprised.
"Wo did not expect you until next
week.”
"Wo had an accident on the way,
madftmo.”
“That would delay rather than &■<#•
Hi.vevor, lu.ro you
are; that is the main thing. Ho wel(
(>mm\ my child. Yotiimust be hungry.”
‘‘Oh,, iniulnnA), I only want sleep 1 If
yon only knew what a journey 1 havo
had!”
“Don’t make any excuses, my child.
I will got your room ready at once, and
take you there mvself.”
An hour later Mina slept boneath the
waving Punkah, wrapt in sweet sloop
and pleasant dreams.
"Do you know you will have a pretty
wife ?” said the mother on rejoining her
son under the verandah.
"It is astonishing how little she re
sembles the photograph your uncle once
sent of her.”
“ Vea,” said the young man, "she is
very lovely. I would like to go early to
the church, mother; because, after all,
wo have not been regularly married.”
On the morrow, Mina came down all
pink and white. Did yon sleep well,
dear Anna? said her husband for the
tlrst time kissing his wife’s forehead.
"llut," said the young woman, smil
ing, my name is not Anna; my name is
Mina —Minn Claereboets. Had yon al
ready forgotten it ?”
“What I” cried the colonist, pale ns
death, "are you not Auun—Anun Tans
sens ?"
“Great God ! and yon”—
“I am called Ilaus Van nosselt.
Don’t you oome from Edam? Isn’t
your father a cheese merchant ?”
“He is a gardener near Haarlem. I
have married Micheels Maasseu, cashier
of the honso of Van Meerayt. Here
is my certificate of marriage.”
Hans seized the papers, with trembling
hand, ami glanced over them hurriedly.
“Mother,” said he to old Mrs. Yan
llasselt, who at that, moment entered,
arrayed in her ilnest robes, "a misfor
tune has occurred. I made a mistake
at Snmorang. The young lady belongs
to another.”
The matron was a sensible woman. In
a moment slio understood all. It was
certainly hard on her son, already ttiree
parts in love with a woman who was not
for him, and whose husband would
have to be found in an island fifteen
hundred miles away, and ho would have
to bo found before the real Mrs. Hans
appeared on the scene, else she would
have two daughters-in-law on her hands.
Without losing a day, they started off
with Mina, who thought rest would
never oome to her. The only plan was
to go to tiro Consuls of the various
islands till they heard news of the happy
Maasseu, to whom lie would have to give
up Mina, to be replaced try the homely
original of his photograph.
To less resigned natures the position
would have been insufferable, but these
two contented themselves in tho happi
ness of seeing each other daily. Hans
was more in love every day with Mina,
and she, nias I often shed a tear when
she looked up at tlio false Micheels.
Ten days had already elapsed in visit
ing tln> ports tin-d inhabited by Euro
peans Batavia, Cheribon, Tagot, Pek
nlongon. The trio often became a duo,
for Mina still suffered at sea. Every
place had been tried even to Sourabaya,
and, alas 1 it was chauqp which first gave
them a clow. In the hotel where they
alighted, and were telling the tale for
the ninety-ninth time, they were stopped
at the first word.
“Mioheels Maassen 1 Ho was here
four days ago. A strange adventure
happened to him. lie was expecting a
young woman by the steamer whom he
had married by proxy, on the other
side, and tho agent had given him
another ono. Maasson was not pleased
for the exchange was not for the better.”
“I believe you,” said Hons, with a
confidential air. “Nut what did ho do
with my wife?”
“Oh I she’s yours? Well, ho took
her away, feeling sure that the real hus
band wonhl follow to claim her and
bring him his own. He even left his
address. Ho lives on the other side of
tho island, between Pourworedjo and
Duty an.”
“Well," said Hans, “here’s a cool
kind of a customer ! One would im
agine with him that it was rather a
matter of a change of umbrellas in n
cafe than ef a human lining. Hero we
are again, for an eight days’ journey.”
After some days at sea a furious tor
nado arose, sweeping everything away;
lightning flushed, thunder rolled, and
tho monster waves rose like huge mount-
ains on every side. By a mimelo tho
ship was saved. In the morning all
were surprised to find themselves alive,
tho captain more than any. Everything
was gone; tho compasses were unset;
but lie knew these seas so well that it
mode no difference.
“I ought to have an islnnd in front of
mo just here," he remarked, with a deep
oath, “but I see nothing.”
After seeking for the island half a day
it was found to havo disappeared entire
ly with all its inhabitants.
So tlioy mado for a neighboring town,
but in this ever famous night the neigh
boring town and the authorities to whom
the captain had intended making hisre-
I>ort, had also disappeared. It was no
longer a question of tho plantation of
Van Meeruyt, of tho cashier of the bank
or the poor Anna. Hans and Mina
were widow anil widower, that is to say
free. I don't think they wept much over
their respective and unknown spouses.
They will not be able to marry for
some weeks. Tho Dutch law enacts
that widows may not marry within a
certain period of tho death of thir hus
bands, so that Hans must submit to
wait.

French Detectives.
Our English detective is tho exact
contrary of his French confrere. He does
not wear uniform, hut lie might just as
well do so, for lfie appearance and dress
proclaim him to no what tie is as plainly
an if lie was clod like X It'd of the force,
lie is a well-meaning, intelligent follow;
but both liin want of training nnd the
system under which ho lias to work
qiuto unfit him for tho detect 101 l of any
crime which is hidden in mystery. I
remember, some years ago, being on a
visit to a country-house where tlio
jcwol-caso of a lady visitor was stolen.
It was quite safo when tlio owner had
finished dressing for dinner; but a
oonple of hours later her maid missed it,
and gave the alarm. Search wins made
—it is needless to say, in vain. Tho
house was full of visitors, many of whom
had brought witli them their own valets
and Indies’ maids, besides which there
was a large staff of servants belonging
to the house itself. A telegram was dis
patched to Scotland Yard the next
morning, and in duo time two detective
officers arrived from London. They ex
amined tho room from which tho jewel
box had been taken; questioned, and, as
a natural consequence, set by the ears,
all the servants of tho house as well ns
those of tho different visitors; made in
quiries at the neighboring railway
station about the travelers who had left,
the place during tho last few days; and,
finally, took their departure, leaving
matters exaotly where they were—where
they have remained to tho present day,
and where they are likely to remain for
all time.
Asa comparison with the foregoing
I may mention a case of a very similar
kind which I once witnessed in Faria. A
friend of mine, living with his wife,
daughter and a rnalo and female servant
an second of a large old-fashioned
house, found one morning that ail his
plate had boon stolen. It was quite safe
when the family went to bed the pre
vious night, but in tho morning it had
vanished. He communicated with the
police; and an elderly gentleman, who
looked like tho manager or one of the
head clerks of a bank, was sent to the
house. Neither the concierge nor any
one else had the slightest idea who the
individual was. Ho came ostensibly to
see my friend on some business nnd
only told him what this business renilv
was. He came again tho next day and
the following four or five days, making
his visits purposely when my friend and
all his family were out so as to have an
excuse, while awaiting their return, of
talking to tho servants, or of wasting a
quarter of an hour in the concierge's
den. He managed to ingratiate himself
with this latter individual, and in the
course of the next few weeks, during
which time he still paid occasional vis
its, ostensibly to my friond, became
quite intimate with the servant. It end
ed in the concierge being arrested one
flue day on the charge of having stolen
the plate. This was brought about
partly by something tho detective had
seen in the concierge's room, but chiefly
on account of what he had heard at a
place where a number of the agents or
brokers for stolen goods used to congre
gate for business and to which the de
tective went in the character of a thief.
The crime was thus discovered and the
thief was duly punished. Chambers's

How they ’.let tlreety.
Officers of g'u returned Arctic fleet
say that Lient. Crosby had charge of the
deck of the steamer Hear, which was in
the lead on the day the party was dis
covered, and Lieut. Colwell, who was
the year before in tlio I’roteus, was cruis
ing along in the open water in the steam
launch with two ice pilots, bound for the
cache which he bad made the year lie
foro on the north side of Cape Sabine.
The launch’s whistle was blown at in
tervals. When not fur from the ice foot,
Mr. Colwell saw a man appear over a
ridge back 50 rials from the icefoot. He
held a flag in his hand, but he did not
wave it, as the launch headed in towarii
tho hillside to meet it, but before ho had
traveled far he tumbled down and thee
rolled to the foot of the hill. Tho lanneli
seen brought up besido tho ice foot,
which presented a perpendicular wall six
feet high abovo the gnnwale of the boat.
The men scaled that by means of pro
jeotmg crags, in spite of the waves which
were tossed up by the gale, id hastened
to oarry food, which was kopt constantly
prepared, to tho survivors. Lieutenant
Colwell lifted up tho odgo of the tent,
which the gale had Mown down. A man
with Rpootaclos raised his head. "Who
are yon?” said Air. Colwell. There was
no reply. Tho question was repeated.
Then tho man said, in a hesitating way,
"lamGreely.” The party of rescuers
found the scene very affecting. They
fonnd tho bodies of the dead buried near
tho tent under a few inches of gravel.
The wind blew so fiercely that when the
crust was removed it blow the gravel
from the bodies. All the bodies were
frozen stiff and wore all easily recog
nized. Allison, who died afterward, was
one of the most lively of the survivors
when first found.

How to Take lee. —-—> r
Iced drinks should never be taken at
odd times, when no food is eaten at the
same time. The danphin, son ol Fran
cis 1., is believed to have died from
taking a glass of iced water in this way,
and several other terrible examples are
cited which, we fear, are little known or
remembered just now. Another grand
problem is whether wine should lie iced
before being unoorked or mixed with ioe
after it Is poured into the glass. We all
know how opinions differ on this point
among the unlearned publio; but the
doctors clear up tho difficulty in a singlo
phrase. When the bottle is iced the
temperature of the drink is lowered to
the same level; whereas, when ice is
added by fits and starts to a it
varies greatly from time to time. Now,
it Is far less trying to the digestivj or
gans to take a drink o! uniform than of
a varying temperature, and therefore
the wiso man will have his bottles iced,
and abjure the tempting knobs offered
for immersion in his champagne glass.
Finally, the eating of ice creams should
also accompany or immediately follow a
meal, and be washed down, if possible,
by a glass of liquor, whioh will oorreot
the acidity noticeable in many of them,
and also obviate the biliousness of the
sweeter oompounds. —lsjndun Globe.
