time in hia life saw the street cars, lie
took it in his head to ran a twenty
mile race against the car line, and took
hia start from the terminus at Grier’s
corner. The mule, that proverbial
street car animal, jogged along sleepily
up town and away to Rose Hill, the
boy keeping pace. On the first round
they came out head and head. The
mule coatlnued his journey, still mov
ing in his dreamy way, but the boy
soon showed signs ol weakening. Pres
ently hia tongue began to loll out, his
eyes dilate, and mole began to gain
ground. And at this juncture a friend

from hfs raah undertaking. And thus

About 4 o'clock in the nfteraoon here, it
In the custom for the women to come out
in the open air and lean over the balcony,
or stand at the gate chatting with one an
other. If the day is warm—a* day before
yesterday happened to be—nearly every
body on the street ii oat of door*. The
children play qaietly together, the negro
■errant* goseip glgglingly, and their mis
tresses smile greeting* oa every hand. The
door of the opposite house opened shortly
after 4, and the “laydy” strolled out She
wore a morning gown of light color and
ttxtnre. and her feet were clad in comfort
able , slippers. After a leisurely glance
around she folded her hind kerchief slowly

floor of which was foar or five steps from
the ground—and, resting her elbows on it,
leaned for hrJf an hour, staring amiably
and complacently at nothing.
Presently a tramp hove In sight,
was a sedat* nod tranquil tramp, and he
wandered along, looking with an air of en
tire approval at the residents who were en
joying the air. He arrived at tne house
opposite, looked at the comfortable little
woman on the piazza, and after thinking
it over for a moment, stopped, removed
his bat. and half langbed, half sat against
the gate post. He placed his hat on the
ground beside him, and being at last com
fortably disposed to begin his plea, said
deliberately.
'It's curious how things'll am agin a
a man who ain't done nothing agin Uod or

me’’—and to on In hit usual strain. When
he had got throughlwith bis narrative, the
woman on the pmz/.t moved to a little
more comfortable position and rested her
chin on one of her plump hands, bbe
looked at the tramp with an intereated air
and he looked up at her with grave re
ipect. The story went on until I thought
it would never stop, and still the woman
listened politely. When it wai finished
she said slowly:
“Seems tome that things have been
going very hsrd with you."
“They has. Indeed, Uydy,” said the
tramp. She contemplated hiui a moment
more, and then, rouslog herself with an
effort, she disappeared in the home. Sh
was gone a long time, but the tramp ha*
no misgiving, apparently, for be hummed
quietly as he gated at his tattered trousers
•nd indolently swung his hat. Then the
li'tletwoman strolled out again with a coin,
which she dropped into the man's out
stretched hand, snd then resumed her pose
on the piazza.”
"Ibank you, laydy. May yon never
want,” mu'.tered the tramp ouietly. Then,
as be put on his hat: “It s a pleasant
day.”
“Yes,” said the lady, sleepily, “it’s
mighty pleasin' day.”

jrively modest in tone, occupies nearly the
whole of the second page, bat the acconnt
of the battle of Waterloo tills lets than a
• olumn. lhe rft i- devoted to the ar.lons
at UgDy and Qostre Br«i, to subsequent
niiliUry ini.veiu»*nts, and to tt abort It-t of
the more distinguished persons who were
killed and wounded. In reference to the
part the Prussians took in the battle, the
Duke aaya:
“I should not do justice to my feelings
or to Martha! Biucher and the Prussian
army If I did not attribute the successful
result of this arduous dty to the cordial
and timely resistance I received from
them.” «*]
In contrast to this military modesty is
the boastful editorial on the next page.
Here is a part of it:
“Such is the great and glorions resalt of

It is one of tbe simplest things in tbs
world,” said Mias Corson, in her lecture
yesterday Afternoon, “to make a good cup
of coffee, ’ and this can easily be accom
plished by applying a little common venae.
If you put boiling water on codes, and do
not let it bail,” ahe continued, “yoabave
all the goodqualitiei preserved. Cne rea
son wny dyspeptic* cannot drink coffee is
because it is boiled. The style of coffee
pot is j oat a matter of fancy. I bare made
as good coffee in an old tomato can ai I
ever tipped from a cup filled from tbe
finest French cofr* urn. We should take
lessons in this matter from the Turks and
Arabians, who grind their coflss to a fine
powder.
“When tbe coflee is ground as fins as
possible, put it in a little bag of unbleached
muslin, which should be ti-d tight enough
to prevent the escape ot the groaods. If
you use a cap of ungronnd coffee you
can make ov*r a quart of very strong,
black coff»*e. In making coff«*e many pe>
pie sacrifice flavor for strength, iuterneea
comes from boiling. When boiling water
ia placed on the big of ground coffee, it
should stand at least three minatca before
serving. Remember the longer it stands
the stronger it become. Be careful not to
allow the watered c ,ffce to boil.
“A favorite mixture of coflee,” said MIm
Cordon, in answer to a ladv in t:.e audi
ence, “is Mocha and Java. In the propor
tion of two parts of the latter, whicn ia lets
expensive, to the former.”
