If the trunk manufacturers do not quit
making so many thousand valises alike,
somehody is going to get into some awful
trouble about it some time, nnd some trunk
maker will be sued for damages enough to
build p eonrt house.
'I be other day an omnibus (nil of pus=en
grrs drove up to town from the Union
depot. Side hv side sat a commercial trav
eler, named William Maeaby, and Mrs.
Minnie 0. Dumbleton, the eminent lady

reached the Barret hon°e the commercial
missionary seized his valise and started out
The holy made a grub after him, and he
halted.
■ I beg your pardon,” she said, ‘‘but you
have my vuli-e.”
“You ore surely mistaken, madam.” the
traveler said, courteously but firmly, “this is
mine."
‘‘No, sir,” the lady replied firmlv, “this i«
mine. I would know it among a thousand.
Yon must not take it.”
Hut the traveler persisted nnd the lady
insisted, and they came very near quarreling.
Presently one of the passengers pointed to u
twin valise on the omnibus and risk'd :
“Whose is that?”
“It isn't mine.” said the traveler, “it is
just like it, but this is mine.”
“And it isn’t mine,” said the lady, ‘he
lias mine, aud I’ll have it or I’ll have the
law on him. It’s a pity if a lady can’t
travel alone without bring robbed ol her
property in broad daylight."
Finally the traveler said he would open
the valise to prove his property. The lady
objected ut first, raying she did not want her
valise opened in tire presence of strangers
Hut as there was no other means of settling
the dispute she at length consented. The
traveler sprung the lock, opener! the valise,
and the curious crowd bent forward to see.
On the very top of everything lay a big
flat flask, half full of whiskey, a deck of
cards ar.d one or two other things that no
bodv knows the name of.
The traveler wu# ibe first to recover his

How Bernhardt Masters flic
Situation.
During the earliest years of Sara Bern
hardt's tame n gentleman in the audience had
one night the exceeding bad taste to persist
ently hiss Her. She “spotted” him, fount
out Lis address, called at Iris house, und had
an interview with hint. I wonder how he
liked it ? 'I hen and there sLe told him it
was always her er deavor conscientiously to
do her duty ns a histrionic nrtis* and to
plea e the public; that she regretted any
thing like failure In the duty, and tbat she
should (eel greatly obliged if he would kindly
point out tier defects, in order that she
might correct them. This spirited conduct
won for hr r anoli. r pass inrate admirer.
Another dny she read in e. certain Parisian
paper the statement that her hair was false,
and that h<r teeth were far t o good to he
genuine. Next day the dramatic ctitic was
amazed to behold a lady dash into his toom,
aud let down her hnr i 1 hi* pr sence.
“Pull it!” she exclaimed, as she placed a
luxuriant tress in one of his hands. “Is this
real hair or not ?” “Certainly, certainly,”
stammered the man. Catching hol l of his
other hand she opened her mouth— but hap
pily not to bite—and made him finger her
teeth. “Are these false?” shrieked the
lady. “No, they are the most beautiful real
teeth I ever beheld in tr,“ life," declared the
terrified victim, who would willingly have
sworn that black was white if it would (rave
given bis visitor the satisfaction. “I am
Sara Bernhardt,” proclaimed the l idy with
as much serenity as she could possibly put
into her voice, and the wretched critic made
op his mind for the worst. He. too. has
pitico become one of her most devoted vassals,

would dare to do anything else. If any such

Great Talkers.
<*»v
The hrillianey of Madame de Stall's con
versntiod has passed into a proverb ; it tri
umphed so far over the plainness of her fea
tures that flurmn said that she had the
power of tuHeine herself into a beauty
Though she talked often for display, she
talked still more lor self-improvement, and
drew both her inspiration and her literary
material largely from conversation Her
genius was fed so exclusively through her
facility of hearing—she used her eyes so
little in acquiring material for her books—
that it has been said that she might utmost
as well have been blind Except out of re
spect to custom, she avows she would not
open her window to see the Buy of Naples
for the first time, whereas she would travel
fiOO leagues to talk to a clever niun whom
she had never met. Her chief fault us »
talker was her race-horse rapidity of tongue.
Byron ea'ls her society “avalanche.” and
Schiller complained that in oriEr to follow
iier one had absolutely to convert one’s self
wholly into an organ of hearing.
The greatest talker of nncient or modern
tin.es was unquestionably Samuel Tavlor
Udcridge. • lie spun daily.’’ says [)e
Quincy, “from the loom of his own magical
bruin, gorgeous theories and luxurious
images. The value of his discourses lay not
so much in the pcsitive knowledge they
communicated as the intellectual stimulus
they supplied, the spirit of inquiry they pro
voked, arid the principles which they re
v< aled.”
Much ot Coleridge’s eloquence was owing
no doubt, to the charm of his manner, ami
his voice laid a kind of solemn shake or
quiver as he rolled along. But the most
brilliant eloquence tires at lust, and even
that of the sage failed sometimes of its
witching ( fleet upon hearers’ ears. Walter
Scott describes a dinner-party at which he
was equally bored by a most learned har
angue of Colei idge’s and concludes the ac
count with the impatient excainntion,
‘•Z»mnds I I never wus so bothumped with
words.”
To a Touno Lady You think yon love
the young man who is coming this Sunday
night to visit you. Suppose he “declares
himself,” and asks you to become his wife.
Are you prepared to say to him, "I love

happiness, and the lives and weal of our chil

lie is jolly, gny and handsome, and all the

lie go tomorrow to a work which gives
promise to the fulfillment of your desire in

satisfy you? Does his every-day life shine
with the noble endeavor ol a trustworthy

in your thinking—one who can unlock the
depths of your mind, to what strata of bn -
inanity does he belong in the scale of ex
cellence and uiurlulity ? Is he doing all he
can to build future usefulness and bappineas
in which you cun share and feel blessed ?
These are questions which the experieueejol

ANA BEL’S SECRET.
BY MRS. J O. BRANCH.
We desire not. to anticipate thp pleasure
which the readers of the Weekly News will
derive from the peru-al of this charming
story, and therefore will not speak of it here
further than to say that, in the management
nf an original and intensely interesting plot,
not less than in her powers of description,
her life-like delineations of character, and the
4>nre moral tone of her reflections, the ac
complished author giws assurance that she
inherits the genius of her gifted mother,
Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz, who.-e works of
fiction have been so universally admired, and
still rank among the most popular American
books of their class. “Anabel’s .Secret” is
developed in California, of which State the
author wus at one time a resident, and her
vivid descriptions of some of the most won
derful scenery of that picturesque region are
among the striking features of the story

It is the simplest structure for raising wa

anv well or cistern. Any person can put
one up in fifteen minutes, as it has no attach*
ments to any part of the well below the plat
form. It is very durable. The endless chain
is composed of alternate flat and round links
made of the best iron, ai d strong enough to
bear ten times the strain required. The qpm
plete chain and buckets being galvan zed af
ter construction, it never eorrodes. It has
none of the objections common to pumps. It
has no woodeD tubing to wear out, decay and
pollute the water, no iron tubing to rust, no
suckers or valves to wear out ; has no wood,
leather or rubber in contact with the water
to contaminate if, and you do not have to
pump out a pail full of water to get a fresh
drink, for every cup goes down full of air to
the bottom, and fills with cold water as the
air escapes. One of the Elevators cun bo
