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.

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.

'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.

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 -./* »• « An “International Tournament of Beauty” has beep held stBada-Pestb, wh’ob ’ r Q ladies presented thom- . oinpetHofs and died past the jury, a committee of Municipal Councilors.
