Charles streets in that quaint and strange old city, New Orleans—a city of never ending charms and queer phases of life and mysteries without number; a miniature Paiis, with its bijou theatres in the French quarter and the Englishlanguage is aforeigu tongue, and where the men wear their hats and the ladies sip absinthe and puff dainty rings of cigarette smoke from pretty mouths] “Where shall we go to-night ?” Morlan asked me. “Grand Opera-House,” I suggested. “Aren’t you tired of Janausshek’s dia monds vet?’’ “Well, say the Varieties.” “Nothing there but frescoing in the lobby.” “Academy.” “Bah!” We smoked awhile in silence, and finally decided to see Mile. Mtfthilde at Le Petit Theatre Francaise, away down on Chartres street. “If Golson is in the crowd,” said Morlan, “we’ll appropriate him. Aha t there he is now. Golson, come hither!” A number of the young men had crossed Canal street, and were passing up St. Charles toward Common, others continuing their way a_ong Canal to Baronne. A handsome, small, delicate student emerged from the crowd. He had hands as white and small as a woman’s, long blaok hair, a pale, thoughtful face, and large, calm, expressive eyes. I was introduced to him, and he grasped my hand warmly and firmly. “Have you anything to do to-night, Gol. son? ‘ ‘Anything to do ?

(Doaghertjr’aCOld Stand,) CEDARTOWN, Georgia. AH Work Guaranteed to give satisfaction. AD he asks is a trial. jan8-ly Come with me to the college. My little girl will do the tight-rope from the roof, and I’ll introduce you. ” We turn up St. Charles street to Com mon, down Common to Baronne and the college. Crowds were beginning to gather at this point. We threaded our way through the throng that pressed against the railing around the college yard, and entered a small door at the Bide. We climbed four flights of dark, dismal stairs, and stumbled at the turnings. We felt our way along a hall, prevaded by a stifling blackness and a musty smell, from the dessecting rooms. The light from the street below streamed meageriy through a window, and showed us the dim outline of a perpendicular ladder near the extremity of the hall. We climbed the ladder and crawled through a hols in the ceiling. Here the darkness was intense. We found another oiose at hand, and by feeling for the rungs, gained the top and emerged upon a steep roof covered with slate. We looked around. Hew Orleans lay at our feet in all the gloiy of a starry night On the south we could tame the river winding in a crescent form around the city, and reflecting the colored lights from the shipping. Away to the northeast could be seen the dark, flat surface of the lakes To the southeast lay the French Quarter, with its tall, old-fashioned houses and Us narrow streets. To the westward Upper Town stretched its wealth and grandeur over a large area. Under our feet was the glare from Canal, 8t. Charles, Camp, Com mon, Carondelet, Tchoupitoulas and Barou- ne streets. A parapet about twelve inches high was all that could have preserved us from the morgue, if the treacherous slate had broken, or the foot slipped an inch. Three persons were standing in the gutter against the par apet- Of these, two were rough looking men; the third was a woman in tights and short skirts, and covered with spangles and stars and gold lace. The men were en gaged with certain pulleys and cords in drawing to a greater tension the wire cable that stretched from the parapet-of the col lege to the building opposite. The woman was standing in the shade of the parapet, and looking down abstractedly upon the thousands of human beings who packed tlio street, and whose upturned faces, expres sive of anticipation, she seemed to be studying attentively. 'Already here, Zoe?” asked Golson, in his soft, smooth voice. The woman started and turned quickly, an expression #f intense happiness lighting up her face. “I was looking for you below,” she said. “I was afraid, but I am strong now. Yon don’t think I’ll fall do you ?” ‘‘Certainly not. You arc very foolish to ask such a qnestion.” He introduced us as his friends, and she shook our hands pleasantly. Sha had a rather agreeable face, though we could sot aae distinctly, the only light being that of the stars and the faint glow from the lamps and torches below. In any event she had a pleasant voice, ad that was sufficient. She also was small, and delicate and young, j A afeswl was thrown over her bare shoulders and arms, but her little hands were sold and she shivered in the night air. “I was thinking. Goldly, ’ she ssid “that if 1 should fall.” and a mere deoidsd «fi.g shook bar heliosis Sms—"if what they would think, and how they would feel down there ?” “Nonsense, little Zoe!’’ She laughed softly and put her arm through Uolson’s, and looked up into his face with a touching tenderness and reh- anee. She again scanned the crowd, and was thinking. “■Well, but suppose. I -should. Do .you think they would care ? Or would they say she was a little fool, and it served her right?” “What is the matter, pet ?” “Oh, nothing—nothing whatever,” and she laughed again musieally, “I was simply thinking. I remember tnat a long time ago, when I was a child, and my father was letting me stand on his head while he rode two horses bareback around the ring— and I was terribly frightened once when tW horses became wild with fear or some- tliij:_g, 1 don’t remember what—and he caught me strong and close in his arms as I Wet falling, and kissed my lips, my cheeks, and eyes, and forehead, and held me in his arms quite a while, and called me his dear, precious baby. What was I going to tell you! Oh, yes; about the man who fell from the tight-rope. That was terri ble 1 One end of the rope was passed over the roof of a house, carried down the side, and made fast to a wooden block under neath. It had so happened that the block had rotted off next the ground, and there was no weight upon it whatever. Well, anyhow, they tied the rope around the block, and the professor was half-way across tlio street when he began to give an exhibition of jumping. Suddenly we saw that the rope was giving away. The jerk ing had pulled the block from under the house, and was dragging it up the side. The professor turned quite pale, and stood and waited. He came down slowly with the rope. It seemed as if it would never stop slipping over the roof like a long ugly snake. It soon became slack, and it was, of 1 course, much harder to balance on it; but he never lost liis presence of mind, and stood perfectly calm and straight- When the block liad nearly reached the roof—it was a two-story house—the rope slipped off, I heard the block drop to the ground. I hid my face .and crouched down against a wall, and I heard him strike the ground like something dead. Oh, it was so horrible I ” She peered around into the darkness and shuddered. “Poor fellow ! he fell flat on his face. It was the crudest thing that ever happened. ” She sighed, and still gazed at the crowd below. “Did it kill him?” “No, not quite, but he was delirious for everal weeks. When they picked him up the blood gushed from his nose, and eyes, .fright increased, and in the terrible excite- shout arose from the mob, and the plucky girl threw a bunch of kisses at Golson. The color had returned to his face with unnatural intensity, and the look of absorb ing anxiety had passed away. His chest was broader and his eyes brighter. He simply smiled at Zoe, and did not even applaud her. The shouting below continued. The men made no preparations to remove the rope, but Golson started for the ladder. “She’s cornin’ back,” said one of the en. Golson stopped as if he had been shot through the brain. The hard, anxious look returned, and the deathly pallor came back ail in an instant. “I didn’t know that,” he said, calmly and resignedly. He resumed his old posi tion, and watched the girl with intense in terest—with a gaze in which were concen trated his soul and her heart and mind and strength—a look in which was expressed the profoundeet feelings of a strong na ture. Zoe rested a moment, and again stepped upon the rope. She had proceeded about ten feet, when one of the men remarked: “She’s scared.” Golson noticed it; we all saw it. Her teeth was so tightly compressed that in the dazzling light we could see ridges in her cheeks. Her nostrils were expanded, and she stared fixedly ahead of the rope. Her breathmg was short, and a tremor appeared in her arms and knees. Instead of her usually erect carriage, there was a percep tible leaning forward. When Bhe had made but a dozen steps she stopped and appeared to be in doubt. She then apparently made an effort to walk backward, but was evi dently afraid to undertake it. She stopped again, mustered her courage, threw a quick glance at Golson; and recommenced her dangerous journey. The rope trembled and swayed under her feet, and in this way Caught a swinging motion that tries the nerve of the most experienced balancers. When she had reached the middle it was impossible to proceed. She might have crossed safely, hut the fire on our side waB exhausted. She had walked more slowly than usually, and the fire was consumed too soon. She could not see the rope distinctly enough. She stood still for Beveral sec onds. The light behind her continued to bum, but it was of no assistance to her- and immediately afterward it was also ex hausted. We could distinctly see the poor frightened girl by the light from below, but her face was obscured. The crowd sent up hisses and groans. The rope-walker at tempted to take another step. She succeed ed. She tried a second and failed. Her foot suddenly, slipped, but she was active and alert, and caught upon her knee.

I dreamed of him again last fSt for the first time in-'a great while. * I thought I went to pick him up, and could feel his poor broken bones grating against each other, and his poor bloodshot eyes stared wide and cold at me.” •You are not well to-night, Zoe,” said the man of science, examining her pnlse attentively. He became thoughtful. “I don’t think you ought to risk it,” he said. “Oh, 1 am not afraid now that you are here,” she replied in her charming way. “I think you had better wait.” “Now, don’t get naughty. I must go. I want to go. Why, there’s two hundred dollars in that crown, and my manager would be crazy if I didn’t walk. Beside, I contracted to do one street walk every two weeks in addition to the lofty centre- pole walk every day. Why, I’ve done the lofty five hundred times and never lost my head, and why is there danger now ?” “But it’s more difficult to see the rope at night.” “I never look at my feet, anyhow, when I walk.” “You are feverish and nervous.” “It will make me all the more eareful.’’ “Well, walk then,” said Golson, with a shrug of the shoulders. “Now, Goldy, don’t look that way.” He became cheerful and learning in a moment. The manager appeared on the opposite roof and beckoned the girl to pro ceed. The attendants at both ends exam ined the fastenings of the rope to see that thev were properly secured. They pro duced trays in which "to burn colored fires, and heaped lumps of the combustible ma terial upon the parapet. Zoe mounted the parapet with an elastic step, and threw kisses at the shouting crowd below as the fires brought out her frail form. She looked vay charming and pretty, standing, smil ing, in the intense red glare of the light. ‘,Give me the pole,” she demanded, smilingly, of Golsen, holding out a small hgnd and dimpled arm. He picked up the cumbersome balancing pole and placed it in her hands. She found th» centre, shook hands with Golson, threw us a sniilj, rained a shower of kisses upon th« crowd and stepped firmly upon the rope. She soon found a safe pots, took a few steps, and halted. She glanced hack at the attendants, and regarded the pile of fire. “You are burning it too fast,” she said. “Good-bye, Goldy,” and she picked her way over the narrow bridge that spanned the yawning chasm beneath. She was graceful and walked with considerable ease apparently, stopping occasionally to shift the pole and steady herself. ‘ ‘She is walking slow and shaky to-night, ’ said one of the men. “She is not walking as well as usual ?” said Golson, (hurriedly, and looking at her steadily. His glances never left her a moment. “No; she can heat that. I think she’s in the sulks.” Golson paid no attention to the insult, tad watched her with faasinated gaze. His face was somewhat paler that usual, in spite of the red glare. He did not move a single muscle. Zoe had passed the middle of the streetr-the most dangerous place— and continued her walk toward the other end. She toiled up the incline, the rope I depressing under her tiny, nimble feet, and j tx last jumped safe and soand upon the '(apposite roof. A tremendeus deafening ment of the moment she dropped the pole. It struck the rope, balanced a moment,' and slipped off upon the ground below. There was a great scattering, and the crowd realized that the young giri was falling. Every sound was hushed. The child steadied herself wildly and instinctively a moment with her arms as she knelt on the rope, and then fell. Golson’s appearance was painful and pitiable. Great cords stood out upon Ms face, wMch was overspread by an agony of ghastly pallors. His muscles swelled with ridges and knots, and Ms hands assumed the appearance of an eagle’s claws. He gazed at the the rope where the girl had a moment ago stood. She had caught by the right hand, and hung suspended over the cobbles. In another moment she grasped the rope with the other hand, and hong perfectly still. Golson waited but a few seconds, when he saw that the fnght had To any one who has been in the Eastern countries, the impression of Orientalism in many of the customs and habits of the peo ple of Portugal is very perceptible. A hundred little circumstances in daily life, insignificant in themselves, are sonstantly reminding the traveler how much the peo ple around him must have learned from the singular race who were their masters for so _ many centuries, and with what tenacity taken the strength from her arms, Ind that j tlie6 « ' es30ns have been retained.

He crawled along carefully, that the ghnfring might not canse the giri to lose her hold. The crowd watched Mm in breath- ess silence. The rope swung lower under the double weight, and the fastenings creaked and groaned. Hold last, my child,” we could hoar Mm say to the fainting girl. “Hold on, for God’s sake, and I will save you 1” She raised her head and looked at Mm for a moment, and then dropped it again be tween her arms. He approached her slowly and painfully, for he was a stranger to the situation, and was afraid of shaking her off. At length he reached her. He wMs- pered something to her, and she looked him full in the face. He allowed Ms right knee to remain across the rope, threw his right arm over it at the elbow, and twisted the right hand around underneath to secure a firm hold, and passed Ms left arm around the girl’s waist. The strength of six men was in those supply limbs and clean-cut muscles. He drew her toward him. Bhe released her held, her head dropped, and she tainted. Pay out the at the college cndl” he shouted, His feet were in that direction. It re quired fdur of us to let it out. It slipped over the parapet slowly, and the suspended pair began to be lowered. “Pay it out!” be shouted again. We let it go more rapidly, and he and Ms swooning charge were against the build ing across tha street. He let himself slide gradually down until he reached the side walk, where he was met by the Manager. The latter took the girl to her home. The crowd gathered around Mm with wild shouts, but he slipped away, and met us at the door of the college. “Where is that scoundrel who said she was sulking ?” he demanded, with an angry look. We pointed him out. Golson walked up to him, explained Ms business and gave Mm a stinging blow in the face that sent Mm rolling in the gutter. I met the dear old fellow on California street the other day, and Ms little wife was with Mm, charming and pretty as ever. She laugMDgly remarked that Bhe liked to see the circus as much as ever, but that she always felt a horror for rope-walking. I almost believe that her dimples are as pretty as on the night she threw kieses to a great crowd in the street —It is estimated that 26,000 people in Europe are engaged in tea fisheries. “socco” or wooden slipper, worn by both men and women—by a woman oMy on gala days—is precisely the foot covering to be seen in the bazaars of Cairo and Damascus; and the Portugese will shuffle off these slip pers in token of respect, as they enter a house or a church, just as an Oriental will leave his at the entrance of his mosque. If the gold ornaments worn by the women, are closely examined, their admirable form and pattern will be found to be of pure Arabic type and origin. The crescent and the circle arc the prevailing ‘motives’ of the work, combined and entwined with all the elaborate intricacy of Eastern artifice. The patterns never change; and the orna ments are repaired, but never recast. The priest at a place near Barcellos, said the ornamenl8 which covered a Madonna in Ms church dated from the time of the Moors. They had every appearance of great an tiquity, even if they were not quite as old as the priest believed; nevertheless, except that the work was a little more delicate than that of the present day, these orna ments were identical in design with those now worn. Although the jeweliy is deli cately worked, yet considering the absolute indestrnctability of gold except by actual violence, and considering also the occasions on which they were worn, we see no improb ability in some of the ornaments worn by the Portuguese women at this day, having been actually the work of Moslem artificers. Another instance of the prevalence and en during • character of Moorish art-forms is found in the “cangas” or yokes of the oxen. While the ox cart itself is purely Roman in shape and appearance, without having un- dsrgone the smallest change in its construc tion daring fourteen centuries, the yoke is Oriental. It is, in shape, a single board set edgewise upon the necks of the oxen and is ornamented on each face, sometimes profusely and very beautifully, with char acteristic Moorish incised designs. The common earthenware vessels, the cooking pots and water jars, might many of them have been turned on a potter’s wheel in Morocca or Algiers; so, likewise, the whole economy of the kitchen, in a peasant house hold, is conducted on simple Eeastern prin ciples. Cream Globules. The best of the cream globules rise soon est to the surface, because they are the largest, and flavoring ods rise with them because they are the most volatile; hence it is that the finest butter made from cream that is skimmed be fore all of it that it will rise to the surface, while that wMch rises afterwards hut tends to reduce the quality. Cream is singular product; all of it will not rise— would not rise for a month, even if the milk could be kept sweet during that pe riod, and some of the globules actually sink instead of rise, whilst others remain in sus pension, neither going up nor down. Thus the specific gravity of the globules varies, not on account of composition; but, in any case, the cream wMch, under ordinary con dition, rises in the lint twelve hours, will make the finest tatter. Queen Caroline. The Prince of Wales, afterwards George IV., was married in 1795, much against Ms will, to Caroline of Brunswick, his cousin. Jealousies and recriminations and inveterate dislike ensued, and in 1797, after the birth of their daughter, the princess petitioned for a separation on the ground of brutality. At this time the Lord Chan cellor, who was sppointed with others to conduct the negotiations, wrote: “The princess is flattered with the prospects of bring apart from the prince and having the disposal of a large income. The prince, on his part, would give his right hand for a decent excuse to force matters to a separa tions* The controversy between this royal pair continued to bring disgrace upon the nation for a quarter of a century. Caro line took up her residence at Blackheath, and scandal was rife concerning her life there. In 1808 the half insane King George I1L, who was friendly towards her, allowed an inquiry to be instituted into her con duct, wMch investigation resulted in acquit ting her of any positive dereliction, but it brought to light many improprieties. In 1814 she left England, visited Germany, Italy and the Holy land, and during her so journ in these places, says Lord Campbell, ‘she certainly conducted herself in a most unbecoming manner, although it could not be safely determined to what extent. ” Her conduct and deportment with Bergami, tha Italian master of her household, caused much animadversion. The court at Vienna re fused.to receive her. When George IV. as cended the throne a pension of £50,000 was offered her, provided Bhe whould not re turn to England, but the offer was reject ed. Until the death of George III. she had been prayed for in the litany as Princess of Wales, but upon the ascension of her hus band it was erdered that she should not be noticed in the litany, and that she should have no royal rank. On June 5, Caroline reached England and entered London, where she exhibited herself to a large con course of people, “ail queen’s folk,” writes Lord Eldon to his daughter. Her case was brought before the House of Lords. Her offences could not be construed into Mgh treason, as they had been committed beyond seas, but a bill of pains and penalties was introduced intended to apply to her case. Popular sympathy caused the bill to be withdrawn, although the votes of condem nation remained upon the journals. The trial male the fortunes of the lawyers en gaged in herbehalf. One of the Lords aid not hesitate to say that “if it had not been for the ill usage she had experienced in the early part of her married life, there would have been no hesitation in coming to an un favorable conclusion upon the evidence produced." After the session of Parlia ment was over, the coronation of George IV. took place. Caroline claimed to be crowned, but a committee of the privy council decided againBt her. Bhe appeared at the abbey, but was refused admittance. There was a vast mob and shouts of “The queen forever,” mingled with others of “Shame, go to Bergami,” “Go to Italy.” Her health soon broke down after this dis- cemflture, and in less than a year her death ensued. Winnipeg, Manitoba. Morning light revealed to us the metro polis ot the Northwest. We saw a broad main street bordered with high wooden sidewalks, and rows of shops of every shape and size. Borne were rude wooden shan ties; others were flee buildings of yellow brick. High over all towered the hand some spire of the Knox Church. Several saw and grist mills sent lip incessant puffs of .white steam into the clear air. The street was full of bustle ard life. There were wagons of Ml descriptions standing before the stores. Long lines of Red River carts were loading with freight for the in tcrior. The'sidewalks were filled with a miscellaneous crowd of people: German peasants, the women in dark blue gowns head kercMefs, the men marked by their little flat caps; French^ half-breeds, with jaunty buckskin jacket, many-colored scarfs around their waists, and their black hair shming with oil; Indians, dark, solemn, gaunt, stalking along in blanket and moc- cassins; Scotch and English people, looking as they do all the world over, but here, perhaps, a little qmcker and more ener getic. The middle of the street, though there had been but a single night of rain, was a vast expanse of mud—mnd so ten* acious that the wheels of the wagons driv ing through it were almost as large as mill wheels; and when we dared to cross it, wo came out on the other side with much dif ficulty, and feet of elephantine proportion. The city of Winnipeg, wMch eight years ago was notMng more than a cluster of houses about the Hudson Bay Company’s fort, now oontains over seven thousand in habitants. It is the distributing centre for a large region, a place of great business activity, and so situated in relation to the back country and the facilities for tiie transportation that it is sometimes called ,the Bleeder’s Paradise.” It is built on a clay bank at the junction of the Assimborae with the Red River. The nature of the soil is such that it is difficult to find a good foundation for a house, and many of the larger buildings have settled and cracked. in Sick All Night. A timid-looking individual was among the passengers on the Boston steamer one evening recently, and while he was sitting by the steam radiator imbibing its warmth, a tall passenger with a mysterious air ap proached, and after glancing carefully about the saloon, said in a subdued tone: “Are you a stranger ?” The timid-looking man was considerably flustrated by the mysterious person’s strange manner, and without stopping to consider the singularity of Ms question, he replied that he was. He didn’t just un derstand what or whom he was a stranger to, but he knew he was a stranger, any way, and so he said so. “Because,” continued the man with the mysterious air,, leaning forward, nearly to the timid-looking party’s knee, and gaz ing cautiously about, “because I have a question to ask you.” “Wha—what is it?” stammered the timid-looking passenger, in considerable confusion. “It is this,” replied the man with the mysterious air, leaning forward, greatly to the timid man’s perturbation, and sink ing his voice to a hoarse whisper: “Why is this steamer like the noi se made by a per son with a bad cold ? ” The timid-looking man drew a breath of relief, He feared the question related to a desired loan of money. “I don’t know,” he faltered. “Because,” explained the man with the mysterious air, placing his hand impres sively on the timid party’s shoulder, and speaking in a low and earnest voice that left no doubt of the sincerity of Ms con viction, “because it is the catarrhdin. ” The timid-looking man staggered to Ms berth and was seasick all night.
