The $eamy Side Out
The Advantage* of Good Clothe* When
One Goes Mopping.
. “Did I tell you about it, Eunice-?.”
“My going to the city wrong side
outward."
“What do you/mean ?”
“Oh, I see you have never beard
the story, so 111 tell you. Two years
ago I spent a fen'yqeks with my
friends; the Wilmots, oear the city of
A—. In the family were two young
ladies who did a great deal of shop
ping and visiting in the city, and of
coarse patronized the railroad con
necting their little village with the
Green street depot to no trifling ex
tent
•Now yon shall fees what a gentle
manly conductor we have on this
route,’ said Belle Wilrnot to me, as
too,k a luxurious cushion in a crowd
ed cap for a first 'miscellaneous’ trip
to A—. 'He is my ideal of a con due
tor,’ said Hate; 'let the car be ever so
crowded, he is snre to find us a place,
and never objects to onr band-boxes
and carpet bags, as many ill-natured
fellows are apt to do,’ and Kate’i
rhapsody was interrupted by the
starting of the train.
We were whirled into A— in about
twenty miuutes, yet I had opportnni
ty to notice that the official was very
considerate and attentive to oar par
ty. He opened the window at a look
from Hate, and ordered off a Dutch
man smoking meekly upon the plat
form at a symptom of faintness from
Belle.
“Arriving at oar destination, I was
ngain entertained with my friends'
praises of the various merchants and
milliners they were accustomed to
patronize! 'I always purchase silks
at Weaver’s; they are so conscien
tious, and never try to palm off an in
ferior article upon a customer. At
Mrs. Lasalle's yon will find a superb
assortment of gloves and embroider
ies. She is a reduced French count
ess, and one of the most lady like per
sons I ever saw,’ rattled Belle Wilmot.
“ 'And if you .wish to buy shoes, be
sure to call in at Marvin's. They are
so accommodating—they never make
wry faces jf yon happen to break a
string or lose a clasp,' added Kate.
This was enough, yet if I needed
more to convince mo of tbe superior
excellence of the aristocratic shop
keepers, that afternoon’s observation
would have furnished it. No sooner
did the rich brocades and crapes and
ribbons of tbe fair Misses Wilmot
flutter iDBwte^hsdoor than every at
tendant, from tbe proprietor to the
errand boy, proceeded to don tbe
most obsequfouS smiles. It was not
Btrang&r’The 'jGing locHeb carried
° arses,‘anil were easily per
suaded to lfghtenlbem.
“The.lft'oriioou passed! pleasantly
opougK f in Jctwttipg andi shopping,
and shaking hands with old acquaint
ances, and on j>nr return, amid many
prt&ffijons ofosatisfaction, asour pur
chases were unrolled and exhibited
before Mrs. Wilmot nnd Aunt Lucy,
the girls forced me to confess that tbe
merchants and the conductor far stir-
passed' any others in the known world,
“And so it was almost daily during
tbe first fortnight of my stay. At one
time we called on a celebrated dentist
for a trifling operation. He wns an
acquaintance of Bellos, anil she pre
sented him os a friend. He was very
handsome, and bis voice and smiles
captivating tq one who could appreci
ate music and sunshine. I was amaz
ingly pleased with that man. Tbongb
am fastidious, I fancied him tbo im
personation of skill and benevolence—

safely commit her priceless treasures,
sure that they would be used only for
tbe blessing of humanity. Ab, Eunice,
I bad only seen the silken side I”
' “Fray go on,” said Eanice. -
“One rainy morning I received a
letter from home, giving notice that
my young sister was about to make a
Western tour with a.friend. 'New
dresSfeSi W coarse, are requisite,’ Wrote
my! mother, 'and I wish you to pro
cure and send them immediately.'—
Then followed a list of the artides
needed. vi '
“This letter bad been longer than
nsnal on the route, and that moment
I knew my sister marveled at mv long
delay.
“Tbe articles mast be purebnsed
that very day, rainy as it was, and
must go alone, for Bello and Hate
bad gone to bed with hair in curl pa
pers and novels.nnder their pillows.—
Towards noon the rain abated, and
notified my friends of my determine
tion to go to A—. The young ladies
stared in astonishment.
“ To-morrow I’ll be at yonr service
—not to-day,’ said Belle. 'Why yon
are crazy—look at tbe clouds—yon
will catch a dreadful cold.'
“I dressed and walked to tbe eta
tion, but a few rods distant, and
found myself a half hour early. Very
soon tbo clouds lowered and rain fell
in cataracts. Nevertheless, I adhered
to my determination, the more stub
bornly because I knew the girls would
rinicule me without merey if I return
ed. But I looked at my dress, and
thought of my bonnet, and was glad
tbe old brown veil I found crumpled
into my pocket would protect the lat
ter. My mantilla was of watered silk
and handsomely trimmed, and I re
membered that a lady told me water
would spot it.
“Well, Eunice, wbat do yon sup
pose I did ? I turned it wrong side
oatward 1 It was lined with tbe usu
al black muslin, from which tbe gloss
bad disappeared in spots. I was the
only occupant of the ladies’ saloon,
and enjoyed tbe full benefit of an
eight by ten looking glass. I glanced
in it, and seeing wbat a ludicrous fig
ure my old veil and rusty outer gar
ment made in contrast with my fine
cashmere traveling dress, with its
ricbly trimmed basque, tbe idea of
going to tbe city thoroughly disguised
at once prereuted itself. The skirt of
my dress was separate from the body,
and I bad lined it for comfort in win
ter with nn old gingham dress, clean
and whole, but, I must confess, sadly
faded' Well, I turned this wrong
side outward also.’V -, .
'Yon don't mean to say- that you
went to tbo city in that style ?” said
Etfnice. < •» . ;*
T did, and enjoyed it, too, con
vinced that I was doing a sensible
thing. Scarcely was my odd toilet
completed, when tbe whistle sounded.
Drawing the thick veil tightly over
my face, I made my way to tho near
est car. And now commenced tbe
development The handsome and
gentlemanly conductor nearly kfiock,-
ed me over in the doorway, io bis
willingness to pioneer a lady in blue
silk with four flounces, a satchel, a
bat, a box, u parasol and a lap dug
safely upon tbe platform. Beturning
while I stood gazing at tbe rows of
hats and boots' before me, noue of
which moved to relinquish a seat in
ray behalf, tbe model conductor point
ed to an uncomfortable corner seat,
between a black woman with one ba
by and a white woman with two ba
bies. Of coarse I accepted it
I reached tbe city, and made my
way to Weaver's fashionable store
probably did not call up golden yj*
ions .to ‘ the eyes ot the gentlemanly
olerka who lounged upon the counters
or sat with feet elevated at alarming
angles, as I entered. When I 'in
quired foi* Bilks,, grenadines or any
fine summer goods, there was one un
divided stare, i . i
“It would take too much time to
tell bow eom^riratner silks and half
cotton bareges were at first prod poed,
and how I eventually convinced them
that I understood the proper quality.
Suffice it-to say, I purchased nothing
there, although tempting articles were
finally displayed before me.
Next, to Mrs. Lasalle’s I went,
whose anathemas upon me for detect
ing the cotton lace presented me for
lioen I will not repeat, bat I mast say
they were delivered ie a very an
countesslike rage, though in excellent
French.
I did not try the shoo store that
day, but in passing Dr. B.’s office,
something prompted me to enter,
bad been amused and not tbe least
disappointed by my afternoon’s expe
rience, but now a little anxiety min
gled with much curiosity. I be
thought me of a nervous toothache
that bad robbed me of sleep for a por
tion of several nights, and wbiob
had sedulonBly concealed, from the
family, chiefly because Aunt Lucy’s
infallible remedy in such oases was to
me infinitely worse than the disease
Perhaps Dr. B. could name something
loss objectionable.
“I rang gently and was admitted,
Tbe doctor, who was talking and
smoking with a dashing young man,
glanoed at my dress as I entered, and
without further notice went on with
tbe conversation. Finally I institut
ed a slight cough, and be turned to
ward me with—
“ ‘Well, old lady what is the matter
with you ?’
“I inquired in a faint voice the
best cure for an aching tooth.
“ ‘Crooked iron, marm, applied
cold, is tbe best thing, and animal
magnetism is next best. Ever try it,
bey ?' and tbe man of science winked
and grinned at bis companion, who
in turn ejected a quid of tobacco from
bis month, quite near my poor giDg-
bara skirt, and laaghed immoderately.
In two seconds I was in tbe street,
and on my way to the depot, ques
tioning within myself whether eucb
qualities yet remain in the world as
unbougbt honesty and kindness. My
doubts were to be removed. Tbe
train stood at tbe depot when I came
in sight, and I harried my, steps lest
it should depart without mo.
managed to gain a seat, but bad
no time to purchase a ticket, and
when the conductor came I felt f<
my purse to pay the necessary, fare.
An exploration of my pocket to its
lowest depth availed nothing. I was
in a dilemma. I explained the matter
to him, assuring him that I would
I99T& tbe train at the next station,
and woald there borrow, tbe amount
He left me, mattering bis suspicion
that the story was a lie, and went his
rounds. J
Soon after some one touched my
elbow, and on looking around'I
greeted by a ragged, uncombed Irish
man, who smiled and held something
toward me. It was my parse.
Faith and haven’t I been search
ing |n tbe cars for ye tbis blessed
while,’ said be; ‘snre ’twaa myself that
saw ye take yer handkerchief from
yey pocket, and send this here thing
spinning on the pavement An’ ye

way, a procions hunt ye might have

“And now I was at tbe station, and
the sun, though low ip tbe west, was
shining brightly. J went directly to
tbs ladies’ rqqm,iapj ip Jive minutes
emerged therefrqm, A well dressed la-1’
dy with uncovered bonnet of the ‘lat

crossed tbe platform to. give orders, I
stepped up, and tendered my fare, re
marking that -my purse bad been
found and returned to me.- 'You have 1
a vivid imagination,- Eanice—picture
the ooantenanoe of'tbat gehtfetrinn.”
'Did yon relate your-'jiitNtaifuina td
the youog ladlSstr^'
“No. When the goodly a^ms, they
ire delighted with thein, ii$rming
that this silk came from AVeaver’s and
this lace from Mrs. Lasaije’e-rthey,
remembered sceiug.it there 1 I kept
my own oonnsel. And now, Eanice,
whet do yon think of itallf”
“I think the wisdom yoa purchased
was cheap enough at all events. Yet
there is one other place to which I
wish yoa had gone.”
“And where is that?’’
‘To church,’’ said Eanice.
A Coiv trim a Wooden Lea.
Wllkabarr* Union Leader.
Mrs. Mary Graveley, of Baileys
cross roads, Buoks county, Pa., has a
cow which, abour four months ago,
had its right front leg cut off below
the knee by a railroad train. A vet-
erinar surgeon dressed tbe wound and
tied up the arteries so skillfully that
tbe cow. recovered. She was kept in
tbe stable until a few days ago, when
neighbor, a cabinet maker, made
for her a wooden leg, which was
strapped on tbe stump. The cow
hopped along, holding the wounded
leg np, for a day or two; bnt now abe
has concluded to use the wooden at
tachment, and limps aronnd quite
comfortably upon it, and seems to be
in good health.
A Remarkable Lake of Salt.
Salt lagoons are met with in sever
al places in Apache county. Tbe prin
cipal lake or lagoon is near the line of
New Mexioo. About 1,000,000 pounds
are taken annually from tbis lake,
and, with proper facilities, could be
made to produce an almost unlimited
supply. Tbe salt is precipitated to
the bottom of tbe lake. Wagons are
driven into tbe shallow water, and the
glittering orystals shoveled in. This
one of tbe most valuable salt
springs on tbo continent, and, besides
supplying cattle raisers in Apache
and portions of YavapRi, furnishes
large quantities. for the working of
silver ores. . •• 1 • • ..’id -./*

One of (be hardest woods in exist
ence is that of tbe desert iron-wood
tree, which grows in tbe dry washes
along the line of the Southern Pacific
railroad. Its specific gravity is near
ly tho same as that of lignnmvitm,
and it has a black heart so bard, when
seasoned, that it will turn the edge of
an axe, and cPn scarcely be cut with a
well-tempered saw. In burning it
gives ont an intense heat, and char
coal made from it is hardly second to
anthracite.
