Maflie she would have continued so to-day had it not been for one little act in the dKirua, the closing act of our portion. Mr. and Mrs, Hliaw sat at breakfust together. The eggs were done ju#t right; tho toast was deiiriorwly crisp and brown; the steak was juicy as a peach, and the coffee washed and strong. In shorty OVT-tything was just as it should l>e, ami contentment hovered about tho festive matutinal board. Dudley, who had been glancing ovgr the morning paper, fresh from the City, tossed tt actons the table to his wife. “ Here, Anrelia, your time is not bo short as mine--I must be early to the hank, and yon can flnfsh'yotlb ogg when I’m gone—read mo the news.

How proceoilings gould have been commenced against him, uiul havo gono so far, without liis knowl edge, lie could not imiigine. He arose, dashed some fee-water in Aurelia’s face, laid her on the sofa, and, gomg to her parents’ house, near by, told Mrs. Hastings that hor daughter was unwell, and would like to see her. Ho then started for the bank, and was hailed by a clerk, as he reached his desk. “ Oh, • Shaw I hero are some .papers that came for you two weeks ago. They were mislaid, and I only found them last night nfter yon 10ft..” Tlwiy wore iegul documents ; and Shaw knew, then, why he had not be fore heard of the proceedings of Mary Batons.

Ho pocketed tho papers, and, going to tho cashier, drew his salary up to the end of the month. “ I have some note® to pay this morn ing," said ho, “and am going out now, but will bo back iu half uu hour.” Ho went; and I don’t think tho bank officers have as good an opinion of his veracity as formerly. They havo been waiting for liirn over since, and ho hasn’t coiiio buck yet. Aurelia went quietly home to live with her parents, ana she always gives Iter young-lndy friends one sound piece ol advice : “Never, girls, lie too anxious to mar ry a man who lias never loved another woman. Anecdotes of Correggio. There are several anecdotes related of the great Correggio; one is that, when he first saw one of Raphael's groat pic tures, he gazed upon it a long time, and then exclaimed, ruthnsinstically: “I also am a painter!” au.l, I dare soy, ho then felt himself tnoved to try if he, too, might prodtsoe pictures which should live ami bear Jhis muue through future centuries. When Titian saw Correggio’s frescoes at .Parma, ho said; “Wero I not Titian I should wish to lie Correggio.” Annibale Caraoci, another great artist, said of Correggio, more than a century after that master’s death: “He was the only painter!” nnd lie declared that the child ren painted by Correggio brent he and smile with suoli grace that one who sees them is forced to sniilo and bo happy with them. At Bevillo, in Spain, thero was a largo picture by Correggio, representing the “Shepherds Adoring the infant. Savior,” and during tho Peninsular War (1808 -14), when the people of Seville sent all their valuable things to Cadiz for greater Riifotv, this picture was cut in two, so that it oould be more easily moved. By some accident the halves were separated, and afterward were sold to different per sons, each being promised that the cor responding half should soon bo delivered to him. Great trouble arose, because both purchasers determined to keep what they had, and each claimed that the other part belonged to him; and as they were both obstinate, these half pioiures have rciuaiued apart. It is very fortunate that each of tln ui forms a fine picture by itself, and perhajw they thus give pleasure to A greater number of people than if they were united.— Sirs. <Jtiunent it i At.

Let her Juno be long,” Where Women Vote. “ Women don’t want to hold office,” said Gv. Joint W. Hoyt, of Wyom ing Territory, in a lecture on woman suffrage; “ tliev do not care for public life. During all my experience in Wy oming Territory, where women are citi zens, sad hold the same civil rights as men, I have not heard of one woman who desired active public life. A man may think one way and his wife another way, and yet they"can get along harmo niously. The present Wyomiug dele gate in Congress is the strongest kind of a Democrat, and Ins wife is ono of the liveliest Republicans I ever saw. In many instances within my own observa tion the husband and the wife hold dif ferent political views. “ It is interesting to knowhow woman snffrige was obtained in Wyoming,” eoutiuued Gov. Hbyt, “A* Baloou keeper one day said to his wife: ‘Betty, it. is a shame that I should be a member* of tlie Legislature and make laws for you..when you are so muoh better than I.’ Of course Betty agreed with him. When this man went to work at his bill for woman suffrage people (smiled nnd the members of the Legislature smilinl. But he was a shrewd man. He went to the Democratic members and said: ‘Here, you may as well vote for this, bo ennsc, even if it does pass, which is doubtful, the Republican Governor will veto it, and you can thus show your lib erality.’ He told tho Republican mem bers Mint tbe bill wouldn’t pass and that they had better put themselves on the good Side of the record, any wav. The result astoomht'd everybody. The bill passed by ft great majority, and the Gov ernor, John A. Campbell, signed it. Till? next Legislature tried to repeal the hill, but couldn't. Ten see, the women VQtod the wrong ticket," Women lawyer*. Miss Leila Josephine Kobinson, a graduate of the Boston University Law School, made a strong plea before the Legislative committee in favor of the admission of women to the bar in that State. She claimed that in fifteen States and Territories women are already nn thrtized to practice in the courts.' In dosing she used this language : It is not reasonable that I should throw snide my mental endowments and devote myself to some handicraft. It is too ijlogicnl and severe a doctrine, and I cannot accept it. That men lawyers are jealous or afmid to compete with women is too absurd an idea to consider, that women would trodnly influence ju ries by smiles and tears is almost as un tenable a potion. If it be feared that incompetent wtSiiion will ns admitted in son: 8 p.rt of the State, lot the bill be restricted so that women may be admit ted only tipon passing an examinatiou equivalent to that, required for admission to the Suffolk bat. The strictest regu lations should Be made in regard to the admission of men or women as attor neys in all parts of the oommonwealth. I haye been doing an office business for five months, and my success has been such that I am encouraged to continue, but it certainly would improve my posi tion very much could I gain admission to the bar ; for then many people would feed that they might tints! Business to my hands who now hesitate to do eo. I make no appeal on my own account, as Ido not believe in personal legislation. It seems to me right ana prSpeJ' that women Wlio wish, and can properly pre pare themselves, should be allowed to choose tho law as a vocation, and that persons who wish to employ a woman t<? do their legal bttsltlesS shotild he ena bled to engage one who is an authorised attorney-at-law. .'. , HMinsr Habits.

First, thero is a small goto on the upper part, which terminates and commences fcgain cm the middle of the skirt. These gores have the same ob.ioot, as the one over the knee—that is, to fornl a apace for the skirt to set up properly without add ing to its ftiiltieSs. <lti!ef wise -the. wearer might be boosted out of the saddle, Cji the principle of the boy whoso trousers were made with no fulJuesa in the seat, and thero’ore pushed lijm off the door steps etefy time lie bent to get down decorously. Fashion dictates that the' habit must fit snugly from neck to toes, and ,be made from heavy clotb. This necessitates the easement which I have described! Tho skirt is perfectly tight around the waist and mounted on a piece of silk gal-' loon. On the right side, between tiid front and back width, it opens, and is 'fastened by buttons rhd irtitthnholes, and on the inside ofthisopon part Is til j pocket. In front is a band of elastic, for the (foot to pass through, like a stir rup, to keep fire skirt down. Were it not for this the dress would plush up in riding. Still that would be no great disaster, for underneath are trousers, half leather and half cloth. They are closed and buttoned on each side of the hips, something like tho dlcl-fashioned, iiap-frooted breeches of our granddad dies. The upper part in buekskin, and the legs are cloth, like the dress. The waist has two gores in front and a small side piece. The style is to boas flat-breast ed as possible when on horseback. The side piceo in the back is Very narrow, The back lias no seam down the center, and forms a small basque, with the side piece falling over it and fastened on the inside of the pleat. The side pieces of the back itself are thus joined by being placed one over the other. Tho buttons should be Very stnall and round. The tight sleeves button over at the wrist.. On the lower .part of the waist behind three tongues with buttonholes, fastened to buttons placed a little below the belt of the skirt. The same arrangement is on the seam under the arm. By this means tho waist remains in the same place, no matter what movement there may bo in riding. Many women use fancy styles for riding habits, but such ( things do not lost and the plain dress is always elegant. Skirts have no more idrig trains, as they formerly ha 1. For a moderately tall figure the long side of the skirt ia about a yard and a half, while tbe short one is rather more than a yard.— Cincinnati Enquirer. Why He btrtyed Seven Days. Years ago, at Cape May, I met ii very good, though a very foppish fellow who offered me a share of hi* room, tlie hotel being crowdqd. “If you were to stop ui)til after to-morrow, he said, “yon oould have the room all to yourself, for lam off for Newport.” He had pre viously tolil me-that he had been thero but a week. He had pleiit.y of money, seemed to be enjoying himself, anil was a general favorite. So this rapid flight -father'surprised toe. “'’frfiy tflis hur ry?” X asked ; “ you look as if you had notbiug to do but have a pleasant time, as if you could afford to gratify your every whim ; why do you rush away? ” “ My dear fellow,” he answered, “I never stay anywhere more than a wetk. I have just seven suits of clothes, not counting my dress suit, and a rig-out for boating, fishing and that sort of thing. I never wear the same suit twice at any one plaoe, and po you see I have reached tho end of my tether hero. I could buy more, of course, yet while dress is just as important to a man of fashion as it is to a woman of fashion, he cannot go about with a cartload of trunks like a woman. I never go to the length of changing toy dress two or three times a day, as some chaps do. That’s nonsense, but I do havo a fresh get-up for every morning, which lasts very well until din ner, then always, of course, the full dress. My plan has other advantages. You say I am a favorite with the young ladies. I am, and I propose to remain so if I can, so I never let them weary of me. They are always glad to see me, and I have sqpoir fairc sufficent not to let them get tired of mo inside of a week. Then I away to charm and be charmed by others.” This I beg tho reader will not consider a fairy tale. It was an actual occurrence,— Prog, ess. A Tear for the Humorist. Come weep with us, dear reader, over the grave of American humor. It is gone. Tt is busted and dead, like a cockroach flattened in the fntnily Bible. Gather about us, weeping friends, while we drive the cold cruel screw into the eoffiu lid of busted American mirth. Pour into the open grave your scalding weep. America hasn’t a humorist to day that she can lay her jaws uo. No oue can regret this any more than we do, not because it hurts our trade any, 1 for it does not. If we had a man on this paper who claimed to be a humorist, we would squat him into a heterogeneous mass and use him for a paper weight. But we have two or three journalistic friends who had fooled us into the delu sion that they were inclined to be face tious, aud without thinking a't *out it much wo have laughed a good deal over their printed remarks. It will go hard with Rtich men to be laid aside that way and stcxxl up behind the door like an old umbrella.

What earner” Is. A stock comer is thus explnmed by the New York Evening Post. The “bear ” element in tbe market consists of all those who think that the prices of securities are higher than they ought to be, higher than they can permanently) remain. In order to take advantage of the unwarranted “inflation of values, as they Understand it, they , borrow stocks and sell them at the h’Kb priOCB prevailing, expecting to be able t# buy them in at a lower price before it be comes necessary to return the borrowed securities. For instance, A borrows from I!, 1,000 shares of Hannibal and Bt. Joaeph. which is selling at GO. A pays Bft 60 ,000. cash and agrees to return the stock on demaiid, when, of course, the money will be refunded to him. It is for B’s interest .to land the stock,because he gets the interestonthes6o,oo0 during the interval, or at all events, more in terest than he would otherwise have to iay for the use of the money. Under ordinary conditions, B, the lender of the stock, will pay A, the borrower, some thing fof the use of the money, but if the particular stock wanted by the bears is scarce it will be lent “flat; that is the borrower will receive nothing for tbe use of the money while the loan continues. In extreme cases the lender may eve,ll get a commission for the uso of the stock in addition to the interest On tbe money which fit represents, If the market fluctuates while the loan continues, the borrower gud lender set tle with each other at the ciose of each day, so that the amount of money aholl at all tirne.l be exactly equivalent to the value of tbe stock. When the heart, at any portion of them, have discerned a weak spot in the market, that is, a security selling for more than it Is worth in tlieir opinion— they borrow and sell liberally. Their gelling has the Same effect in putting down the price as thotfgb the stock were absolutely their own, and their ex pectation is that other holders observing the decline in price will become alarmed 4nfl sell also, thus putting down the price still more and frightening still other holders. Th.?y intend, of coarse, to buy enough at' tho loWef scale of quotations to deliver back what they have borrowed,, pocketing the difference. It sometimes, though rarely, happens a few persons, discovering what the beitrs are shout, and believing that they (the bears) are Strong enough to stafid a heavy loss without Breaking, quietly buy Up all Of A particular Stack that exists.* In oruei that the price may not be forced up while they tliemselteß are buying, they lend stock to the beat’s, and thus encourage the latter to sell. When they have secured all, or nearly all, of the particular StOdfc that exists, | they call in tlieir loans. Tho beats are i then compelled to buy, and since no I stock, or very little, is fpr sale, the price i call be forced up to any figHre at which i the coruering party choose to put it. , That is what once happened in Hapni ; bal and St Joseph. Tbe “shorts ” must I come up and settle on snch terms as may : be dictated to them. The last resort is j to leave the cornering party saddled with the whole isstte of the stock in question. Whether they may make or lose by the operation, will depend upon Whether they can extort from the bears more : than enough to compensate them for the loss they may incur in re-selling the s.topk to the general public.

In a Tight Place. A young Fond da>Lac lawyer was out calling bn a lndv, when a young man and another yon fig lady called, and the young lawyer thought it would be cun ning to get down behind the lounge and not let them know he was there, and surprise them by bobbing up serenely from below when the time came. They came iu and the first thing they asked was for the young lawyer, who had told the young man he would be there that evening. Then they began to talk about him, discussed the size of his feet, which they claimed were large, and the size of nivhead, which they asserted was child’s size. He perspired and they talked about his mashing qualities, how he mashed, a girl that worked in a laun dry, and the opinion was expressed that he was a regular flirt. Then they talked about his family, and he tried to stuff his ears. Just then a little terrier be longing to the girl’s brother came in the room, and somebody said “ rats,” and told the dog to hunt for them, and the dog went under the lounge and began to growl and shake something, and there was a sound of revelry by night. The other young man and two girls rushed out of the room, and the lawyer got up on his feet, pulling the dog up near his suspenders by the teeth, and the dog shook, and the young man yelled, and. presently the girl’s father came in and seeing the dog trying to bold what he supposed was a burglar, he took an old hair cloth covered chair and was going to brain tlie burglar, when the young man told who he was, and the father unlocked tho dog’s teeth, after he had remembered the combination, and the young lawyer took himself in his hand and wont away. He won’t speak to the young people now, and it is said he will sue the owner of the dog for arron or a/pace, or some Latin phrase. The worst thing in the world is to be attacked by conversation or a dog, when you are not looking. —Peck’s Snn. Canada and the Queen. 1 remember a curious incident that happened iu Canada in Connection with the British national anthem. In one of my lectures I describe the pathetic abandonment of state ceremony at San. dringliam, while the Prince of Wales lay sick there, of what threatened so formidably to lie a fatal illness. The audience listened spellbound. I uttered the sentence “The Queen strolled up and down in front of the house, unat tended, in the brief interval she allowed herself from the sick-room.” Suddenly came an interneption. A tall, gaunt figure iu the crowd uprose, And pointing at mo a long finger on the cud of a long arm, uttered the word “Atop.’” Then, facing the audience, he exclaimed : “ Ladies and gentlemen ! This loyal audience will now sing ‘ God save the Queen ! ’ ” The audience promptly stood np and obeyed with genuine fervor, I meanwhile patiently waiting the finale of the interlude. When it had finished I proceeded witkjny narrative, and as a com rust to the suffering of Sandringham, ilepiptod the happy pageant ia St Pawl’s Gath-dial on the thanksgiving day for the Prince's recovery. It is the custom iu Canada to propose a vote of thanks to the lecturer, and the chairman arose and uttered the usual formula. Again the tail, gaunt figure was on it* legs. “ Ladies and gentlemen,” said he, “I ri*i> to prepofle an amendment to the motion. 1 move that the lecturer be rsqu jited. to repeat that portion of the lecture referring to our gracious sover eign.” And repeat it I iid. —Archibald J'vtbe* in the Cetitury.

Berthold Auerbach, the Hebrew Nov elist Berthold Auerbaoh was the best known to English and American read ers of all the contemporary German nov elists, and in many ways he was tbe foremost of them all. He was a He brew and a disciple of Spinoza, who was the subject of his first novel, pub lished when he was twenty-five, and whose works he translated, and the abundance of philosophical reflection is at once the strength and the weakness of his most important works. “On the Heights,’’ for example, is laden with its philosophy, but it was mainly its philosophy that gave its importance in Germany. This philosophic tendency is never altogether absent, but it is wholly subdued to the poetic feeling and artistic refinement in his shorter stories, as notably the “Black Forest Village Stories” that really laid the foundation of his literary fame. Auer bach was born in the Black Forest, at Nordstetten, in 1812, and liis descrip tions of village life are among the most tender and sympathetic and at the same time most firmly polished works of their class that have been produced in our day in any branch of German art. These, as well as some of his later tales of the same character, have been trans lated, and the American reader is also familiar with “Little Barefoot,” “Edel weiss” and the “Villa on the Rhine.” His political writings, and especially the popular almanac, “Deutcher Volks Kaleuda.r,” which he has published at Berlin for the past twenty years or : more, were for home consumption only, and his dramas have been scarcely suc cessful even in Germany, but as a poet ical genre painter he ranked among the foremost artists of the day, and his tales have been translated into every European language. He never lost his feeling for his own race, and it is said that his death was hastened by his grief at the “ Judenhetz.” —Philadelphia Times. Jim Webstkb and Gabe Snodgrass met on Galveston avenue.
