Hr SHIRLEY BROWNE. “I declare, Pamela,” said Aunt Ju¬ dith, “you’re the awkwardest creature l ever did see!” Pamela Parr heaved a deep sigh. l)o what she would, exert herself as she might, she never succeeded in sat¬ isfying Aunt Judith. But she never had been quite so ill-pleased with her. self or unacceptable to her aunt as since Maud Ellison had come to the farm on that summer visit, when sho won all hearts and made, unconscious, ly, perhaps, a background for all poor Pamela’s faults and shortcomings And now Pamela dropped her cud <, f the huge roll that Aunt Judith was binding up with coarse, brown bag¬ ging stuff and a mattress needle, and burst into Ienr3. “I can’t help it, Aunt Judith,” she sobbed; “I do my best, but—but—” “And bad’s tho best,” raid the old lady, petulantly pushing her away. “There! Go along, and get the pota¬ toes peeled for dinner! I don’t sup¬ pose it’s your fault that you was created the clumsiest girl in Itidgeville! What arc you crying for now ? Jeal¬ ous because I’m going to give this beautiful rag carpet to Maud Ellison? But she is to be married next month, and I want her to have a real hand- some present as a remembrance from me. Sho is my brother's daughter, you know, and—” “And I am your sister’s daughter,” Pamela ventured to remonstrate, “and —-and I’m to be married this fall, too!” “Eh?” said Aunt Judith, facing suddenly around and viewing Pamela through her glittering spectacle glass¬ es. “You married! Is there any fellow alive who would fancy you?” “I know I*m not a beauty,” ac¬ knowledged Pamela, “but John Story likes me, and lie has asked me to be his wife. John isn’t a grand lawyer, ]iko Cousin Maud’s city beau, but lie is good and honest, and lie says he’ll try to make a comfortable borne for me.” “Well,” said Aunt Judith, “tastes differ. That’s all I have to say abou 1 it. But you are a good girl, Pamela, after all, and I hope you’ll be happy when you’re married. Now go and see about the potatoes.” And Pamela, much consoled by Aunt Judith’s few kindly words, hastened to obey, while Aunt Judith finished packing the roll of rag car¬ pet by herself. And Aunt Judith sat down to din¬ ner with a good appetite and actually told Pamela that when she went to housekeeping, she might have the old wooden clock on tho shelf, that had kept time for forty odd years without varying livo minutes in the twclve- month. And Pamela thanked her, and said 6he and John would be very gratcful for it. “I wish I bad another new rag car- pet for you,” said Aunt Judith, her heart warming with the exercise of generosity. “I wish you had,” said Pamela, meekly. “But I dare say we can get along without carpets until I can save up rags enough to make one.” Maud Ellison was a golden-haired beauty, quite unlike her plain cousin, Her mother, a dashing widow, had strained every nerve to secure what tlie world called a “good match” for her daughter, and when Mr. Monta¬ gue Mavnaid proposed, both mothe r and daughter were jubilant. “I am glad that that antiquated old woman from Itidgeville isn’t coming,” said Mrs. Ellison, who, although Aunt Judith had accommodated them by freely giving Maud a summer home during the period of time during which it was represented that she was at Mount Desert Island, did not c.\rc to put herself out for any country cou-ins at such a time as this. “But I expect she’ll send me some- thing very nice for a present,” said Maud. “She seemed to take a great fancy to me last summer, and once she told one of the neighbors that she intended to make me her heiress!” The wedding presents were some¬ thing very fine, for Mr. Maynard had a great many fashionable friends, and Maud Ellison’s mother had hired a quantity of silverware, jewelry and bric-a brae, which were to be sent back to the proprietors on the morn¬ ing after the wedding". There were plush banners mounted on gilded standards, and painted in rather dauby imitations of sunflowers, hollyhocks and sumac; there were Venetian glass, antique mirrors, carved Swiss boxes, decorated china, dainty lace, and choice embroidery—in fact, all the latest caprices of the day were repre¬ sented; and while Maud, surrounded by a circle of admiring yonng friend^ and ably seconded by the bridegroom- elect, was displaying the gifts, two maids brought iu a ponderous roll which had just arrived by express. “From your aunt Judith,” said Mrs. Ellison, reading the address. “Good¬ ness me, what can it be?” “Something very nice, without doubt,” said Maud, rapturously clasp¬ ing her hands. “Open it, somebody!” cried Miss Jeannette Jervers, the first bride-maid. “Dear me, why don’t you make haste? A—a rag carpet!” “A—rag carpet!” incredulously echoed Mrs. Ellison. “A rag carpet,” sobbed Maud,burst¬ ing into tears. “Is that all? I won’t have the horrid thing in the house! Send it back again! Tell her I don’t want it!” 1 *The best tiling wo can do,” said Mrs. Ellison, who had been making great boasts about Maud’s rich old aunt at Itidgeville. “I do think the old creature must be crazy. What does 6he suppose we can do with a rag carpet? Why, Maud’s drawing room is in mo- quette, and the bedrooms are in body Brussels I A rag carpet, indeed! I am surprised I” And in the first flush of her mortifi¬ cation, Maud Ellison sat down and wrote a crisp note to Aunt Judith, ut¬ terly declining the gift, which she pronounced (in violet ink) to be “doubtless very nice, but quite un¬ suitable to her needs. And perhaps Aunt Judith could give it to some poor neighbor who could use it!” “Don’t want it, eh?” said Aunt Judith, with a visible darkening of the face, when the bundle came back, accompanied by an unpaid express bill, and Maud’s smoothly insolent note. “Unsuitable! Some poor neigh¬ bor! Well, I declare! And my best rag carpet that 1 wove myself! I wonder what some people expect to come to! Well, if one of the brides won’t take it, perhaps the other will I’’ “Oh, Aunt Judith!” cried Pamela. “That beautiful rag carpet! For me! It don’t seem possible! Oh, I shall be so proud to have it! And your own work, too! IIow nice iry parlor will look! Dear, dear Aunt Judith, how can I thank you enough?” “You needn’t try,’’said Aunt Judith. “You arc a good girl, and there’s more common sense in your little finger than in Maud Ellison's whole frivolous body!” Miss Ellison’s wedding was de¬ scribed in all the daily papers, down to the very pattern of her veil and the name of the modiste who designed the white satin dress. Pamela Parr was married very quietly, and all the wed- ding-tour she had was the walk across the yellowing fields home from church. But Pamela was perhaps as happy as thc city bride, when she came into her ii 1 tlo house and saw the gay stripes of rfl g carpet on her floor, “It seems almost like a welcome, ^ , n q John?” said 6he with a smile ^j ia ( g ceme( i to light her plain face in- to positive beauty. Aunt Judith died that same aniumn, sitting quietly in her chair. And in. her will she was found to have left all of her property, real and personal, to the niece who possessed the rag car- pet ridiculous,” said “It’s quite Mon- tague Maynard, who had come down with his wife like a pair of well- dressed vultures, to tlie funeral. “Such a will as that can’t possibly stand in any court of law.” “I guess we'll risk it, said old Squire Vandeuburgh, who iiad drawn out the will. “I shall contest it,” said Maynard, “Mv wife is equally an heiress with Mrs. Story.” “She would have been if there hadn’t been a will especially naming one particular person,” said the squire, «*After all,” said Mr. Maynard, snil- d e nly veering around, “the old house am i patch of barren rocks aren’l worth much!” “They wouldn’t be,” shrewdly marked the squire, “if the Hardback Railroad Compauy hadn’t just offered TOCCOA, GEORGIA. JULY 4, 1891 ten thousand dollars for the land erect a station and run their liuo through.” Mr. Maynard turned sharply to his wife. “Ii’b all your fault, Maud,” said he. “You gave the old woman mortal of¬ fense when you refused that rag car¬ pet. I never saw a woman with so little judgmeut as you have!” “You are always blaming me,’» whined Maud. “I wish I had n-never Mcft my mother! I wish I had n-never married you!” “So do I,” said Mr. Maynard, tartly. And Pamela Story, listening to this spicy “aside,” came to the conclusion that she was perhaps the happier of the two brides.—[Young Lad.es’ Fashion Bazar. He Cures Black Eyes. “Three out of every four cases of black eyes are caused by accidents,” remarked a well known black eye eradicator to me. The best thing for a black eye, ac¬ cording to this man’s experience, is hot water, applied as soon after the injury is received as possible. A black eye is due to coagulated blood settling in the numerous arteries which sur¬ round the eye. The application of hot water tends not only to reduce the swelling, but to dispel this bad blood and restore the eye to its normal ap" pearancc. “I have also,” said the man, “a root which grovvs only in England, which will perform the same duty as hot water in one quarter of the time. I scrape this finely and plaster the affected part with it, a proceeding which I repeat every half hour; it takes from two and one-half to eight hours to effect a cure, but it' is then permanent. “The slightest tap will cause a black eye, especially in round-faced people. Light complexioned people are more subject to it than dark people or peo¬ ple exposed to the weather.” “Is raw meat any use?” I asked. “None whatever. It is a popular fallacy, as is the tale anent oysters. I never treat a case until at least twenty- four hours old, so that the blood has time to settle. If treated before, a second edition of the complaint is sure to make its appearance. Another pe¬ culiar fact about bruises is that, when the forehead is injured, the coagulated blood invariably settles around the eye. Again, a blow on the left temple has been known to cause a black mark around the right eye.” At this point of the conversation a well dressed gentleman entered and presented his left eye for inspection. It wasn’t at all lovely. In fact it re¬ sembled nothing so much as a black eve. Having thoroughly examined the bruise the “Professor” curtly re¬ marked: “It will take three hours and cost four dollars.” “All right!” returned the visitor as he divested himself of his coat and collar. Lying down on a lounge, the plaster of root was soon in position. “Some people haven’t time to spend in regular treatment,” remarked the Professor, “so I am often compelled to paint tho black spot with oil paint to match the complexion, and as a temporary expedient this doe9 very well.”—[New York Telegram. Monkey and Parrot Market. There are some rather curious mar kcls in and about this city, where you can buy almost anything from almost anywhere, and at almost any price. One of the liveliest of these at times is where the ships come in from South American and African and Indian ports. Most of these bring, among other things, a supply of monkeys and parrots, and when this becomes known some interesting scenes are to be wit¬ nessed on the wharf. Even a small cargo of monkeys and parrots can whoop things up in a very thorough fashion, and so it is that when they get into port they al¬ ways draw a largo audience of curi- ositv seekers. Then there is the usual crowd of wharf speculators and Ital- ians who come to buy. The latter were much better customers in the old days when the monkey was not pro¬ hibited from playing a leading part in bandorgan performances in this city. However, as no such ordinance is in force in mqst other towns, the monkeys still bring a fair price for use outside of New York. Monkeys and parrots bring all sorts of prices along the river front. The writer saw a cargo ot monkeys sell the other day at prices ranging from §2 to $7. Of course none of them was out of the ordinary or it would have brought a higher price. The same vessel that brought the monkeys had on board a hundred or more parrots of all sexes and ages. Few of them brought more than $4, and in the main the prices ranged from §1.50 to §4.— ALLIANCE TALKS. NEWS OF THE ORDER FROM ALL SECTIONS. Items of Interest to Alliance- men Everywhere. ASSISTANCE NOT REFUSED. tional Weelipthi Economist: following from the Na¬ The politicians of both old parties appear to be greatly surprised : and grieved that the Alliance through • its papers and sub-Alliances does not j condemn by editorials and resolutions the action of the recent Cincinnati con- ference. Such action on the part of the Alliance would be a serious reflection upon the good sense and judgment of its vention, members. and This decided conference met in defend con-, j to aecept, aod propaganda the demauds of the Alii- ance. Nothing but a complete want of j sense would prompt the Alliance in rep-il- 1 ing or refusing the assistance offered by this conference. In fact, the Allianca would rejoice exceedingly if the two old parties would as honestly and earnestly ! adopt the same course. It is through I this willingness to accept iu good faith, aid and assistance from any source in the great work of reform iu which it is ea- ; gaged that the Alliance proves beyond a doubt its non-partisanism. It matters not to the Alliance through what meth- ods or by what channels the reforms it demands may come to the. people, its purposes will be served, and its triumphs will be complete when these reforms are maugurated and happier conditions come to a distressed and disheartened people.” The Oregcn . *** Alliance (Pendleton) says: “Ihe great reform movement has had for one of its aims the i _^»oilation of sectionalism and sectional prejudice. It has almost accomplished this object, and now for the first time in a third of a century this is a united country in fact as well as in name. People from the dif- ferent sections are wanting to exchange ideas and views and come together in one great fraternal unity for the pres- ervation of liberty and beneficent pub- lic institutions. Applications and re- quests in the are being’received and are on file national president’s office, from western northern States; for south- ern speakers to be sent among them, and from the south for speakers from among their northern and western brethren. Cordial hand shakes and glorious wel¬ comes be are awaiting the men who will soon other going from one section to an— which, to verify the unity of the people, it was declared by the Alliance, should prevail in this broad land; and this great uniting of the people is being viewed with frothing rage by those par- tisans and sectionalists who have spent a quarter of a century iu trying to promote hatred betweeu the sections of what should be, can be and must be the great¬ est country on the planet. * * * THE FIGHT IN TEXAS. A Fort Worth dispatch states that the sub-treasury is now the bone of conten- tion among the alliance men of Texas, and discussion incident to this question is rife among alliance men throughout the state. The Texas Alliance was organized in 1875, but never did much until it was practically reorganized at Dallas in Feb- ruary 1890. Since that time its growth has been phenomenal, and last year num- b«red 150,000 members. The alliance, more than any other factor, secured the election of Governor Hogg last year, When the state alliance convention last year failed to endorse the sub-treasury plan, its promoters at once proceeded to get in some good diplomatic work, and have since been thoroughly circulating the sub-treasury idea among the alliance men of the state. Its advocates are in- tensely in earnest, and its opponen s are likewise hard at work. Governor Hogg opposes the sub-treasury scheme, and that wing of tbe alliance is, as a matter of course, displeased with his administra¬ tion, and has already evinced a deternmi- nation to , bring . about change , . the , office a in next year. The anti sub-treasury alliance men have called a convention at Fort Worth on July 10th and will attempt some plan to counteract the influence of the sub-treasury lecturers. The *** Farmers' Advocate (Charlestown, W. Y.) says: “The Alliance is a most re- markable organization. Notwithstanding the magnitude of its interests, the rapid¬ ity of its growth, the extent of its iuflu- ence and the multitude of its leaders, there is an absolute absence of heart- burnings, jealousies, petty rivalry or en- vious bickerings. There seems to be an entire absence of the desire on the part of the many able men within its ranks to concert any plans or resort to any machi- nations whereby auy particular one may constitute himself a bell sheep. Too much cannot be said in commendation of thi3 condition. We are fighting in a common cause and battling against common enemies, and it is with a great deal of pleasure that we note this condition. As an organization we believe in the office reeking the man, and there is scarcely a single instance in the history of the Order when an indi- vidual has sought to become a leader in our ranks but who has been sat down upon so hard that he will not recover his wind in a lifetime. By this system we have secured the services of the .very best, most intelligent and most conserva¬ tive, honest and patriotic men in our ranks, and demonstrated our ability to rule, govern and control a nation by hav¬ ing first learned and published our ability to govern ourselves.” *** President L. L. Polk in a speech to a great crowd of allianeemen at Goldsboro. N. C.. a few days ago. said: “One of the troubles is that the farmers have not attended to their business as voters. You are working today &imply for an exist¬ ence. Is this as God intended it? The mo /ernent of the alliance will go on, no matter what becomes of the leaders.” He denied being an aspirant for the presidency, and declared he now held tbe greatest office in the United States, He stood upon every one of the Ocala demands. “Those who wish to oppose any principle of the alliance,” he said, “will have to get out and join the enemy. If you wish to get the sun-treasury b ll out of politics, get something else that will give_relief. Until something better is offered, we will stand by the sub trea¬ sury p an world without end. If a third party is to be established in the south, it t tuS^} our par y. The alliance is for its pfinci* pies, and will favor any Than who is with it, and oppose any one who is against it. Congressman-elect Watson, of Georgia* followed Colonel Polk, and declsred that «orcn uarouua anu ueurgia 1 iLlbV k l~L we fighting under the sanu banner. *** THEY WILL STICK. There was published in the Topeka (Kan.) Capital recently what pi vported to be a dispatch from C< ncorJia stating that the following resolution had be mi adopted by the f loud County Alliance: “Whereas, The south w.is not repres nt- ed in the late Cincinnati convention, and whereas, We believe the third pat tv whl disrupt of the Republican party to the benefit the Democratic party, therefore be it resolved, That we abandon the third party to return to our past affiliations.” D. W. Coffey, pre-id nt of the Cloud County following Alliance, denies the story in the vigorous language: “Let me say this resolution is entirely false, and that we have had no meeting since April 18th, and at that meeting elected Hon. S. C. \\ heeler and W. Q. Savery as dele- gates to represent us at the Cincinnati convention, which duty they performed nobly. Our people are well pleased with the action of the convention, and will no doubt ratify its action at our next meet- ing.” ° ^ p-fper, President Polk’s The Progres s- { ve Farmer , of Raleigh, is outspoken re- gaiding the attitude of the Alliance io- wards the People’s party. It says: “I he question, What will the Alliance do with the new party? is <n the lips of tens ot thousands of anxious people to-day. Well, it ought not to take much wisdom to answer that question. The new’ party has adopted the Alliance demands ii.to its platform. Doos any one suppose that intelligent Allianeemen will • vote against a party that adopts tho-e demands and in favor of a party that not only fai s to acopt. but resists those demands? The western Alliance states have already gone into the new party. Will not the neee*- s ity for A1 i- nce unity force the other Al- liance states to go into the new party also? We see no way to prevent tbe new party from sweepiug the country except the simple one of cheer!u ly con- j ceding to the people every one of their us t demands.” * * * The Atlanta Constitution truthfully says: “Money-making labor is a rare thing these days. For years past m >st G f our legislation has been in the iuteie->t 0 f the banking and bondholding classes, The money kings have been favored and the masses have been driven to the wall, q be contraction of the currency in twen- ty-five * years has caused our business fail- u res to amount to the enormous sum of $4,000,000,000. The people are oppressed by a national banking system, which, is a moneyed monopoly for the benefit of the privileged classes.” * At the * * Ocala meeting last year the supreme council adopted a strong me- oiorial opposing lottery schemes. 1 This memorial has been presented in congress and printed in The Record, but received Keform only passing notice, News reaches the Press Bureau from an official source in Louisiana, however, that the Alliance has taken up the fight against the lottery scheme, and that it is deter- mined to stamp out the evil. The fiiiht is on in earnest, Grand *** View (Tex.) Sentinel says: “There is one thing in the Farmers’ Alliance movement that has been lost sigHt of by the outside people; and that b this: While the Alliance has been endeavoring to brinng about a change for the better in the financial system of our government, they have never for a minute t u gt sight of their duty as citizens, as neighbors and as Christians to their country.” * The Alliance ♦ * is making a grand sweep in Tex ,s. Since February 1, 140 new sub-Alliances have been organized. Six hundred and five Alliances have been renewed and rechartered and four new counties have been added to the list since April. Every officer in every department and the official organ are in thorough ac- cord and harmony, audev, ry one is do ng everything possible to make the Texas Alliauce the grandest one in the Union, * The * * cil of the next National meeting of the supreme couu- Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union will be held either in the State of Indiana or Illinois. The selection of the place is in tbe hands of the national executive committee, w.th the provision that it be held in one of tbes states. Mr. A.

Stovey leads the Boston League team in long hits. in Ward, of the Brooklyn*, is still a favorite Gotham. The New Yorks have played seven error¬ less games. The Brooklyns are better base runners than the New Yorks. Pitcher Keefe, of Ne.v York, is stouter this year than ever before. Hereafter Sunday ball playing will i»t be interfered with in Cincinnati. The average daily attendance at tho first New York-Chicago series was over 800J. Despite his great size, Connor is one of the the best base-runners on the Now Yorkteatn. Beckley, of the Pittsburgh, up to a recent date leads the first basemen of the country. McAleer, of Cleveland, has tho distinc¬ tion of being the best left fielder in the busi¬ ness. Sunday has again refused to join the Cin¬ cinnati League team at auy price. Ho has retired. It is now said that “Buck” Ewing, Cap¬ tain of the New Yorks, may not play the rest of the season. Pitcher Nichols, of the Boston League, has never yet pitched a winning -game agaiust Cleveland. Whitney, of the Cincinnati Association Club, leads the third basemen of the entire country in fielding. Slattery has been released by Cincinnati at his owu request. Ho has not been well since leaving New York. York, Holiday, Wilmot, of Cincinnati; Tiernan, of New and of Cleveland, lead tha League batters in home runs. The Chicigos have two weak points. They do not s ug the ball steadily, and. aside from Hutchinsou, are weak in tho box. “Ed” Williamson, of last year’s Chicago short Players’ team, fat weighs men’s 258 niae pounds and plays stop in a of Chicago. The Brooklyns present tho League. neatest appoir- Iu anca of any team iu the ad¬ dition, they are a fine-looking lot of fellows. New Bassett plays a remarkable third base for York. He was not new to the position, as he played it for Providence part of 1835. Jennings, whom Louisville picked up without record or reputation, has turned out to be a good man iu all departments of tno game. To strike out twenty-four proud of. men That in two games is a record to be is the record of Nichols, of tho pitched Boston League, in the two games h9 has against the Pittsburgs this season.

Lovett, the Brooklyn York pitcher, did single not give bit the hard-hitting New team a iu a recent game, ihe score was 4 to 0 m favor of the Brooklyns. ibis is the most remarkable pitching teat in years.
