A year or so after she comes back from Europe and writes to you that she is all impatience to see you and you rush to her at once. They have gone to housekeeping, and the girl who opens the door, and }vv> Y who wean a white cap, answen you under her breath that “Missus is in and expecting you, and will you sit down and wait a minute!" And she goes on tiptoe before you into the tiny parlor and sets a choir for you as though the floor were carpeted with eggs.

Thu Terrible Mistake Marie by an Elec tioneer In the Wilds of Alabama* I was doing some electioneering in the western part of Alabama when I rode np ono day to what looked like a deserted cabin, as the windows were closed and the shanty door fastened and no one in, sight. There was a field of tobacco growing on one side of the cabin and a thicket of scrub corn on the other, and in tho middle of this stood a scarecrow, ono of those homemade things composed of a stuffed figure in coat and trousers. Clowned with an old straw hat. 1 was about to ride on ono when a voice called: “Hello: light, stranger, and gin us thay news.” 1 looked, hut could seo no one till my horse jumped to one side and I saw that the scarecrow had de scended from its perch mid was com ing toward mo. "Hello I" I said; “are you the owner of this place t" “Reckon I air. Did yor wuntcr chin about the crups in these yeah pawts?” “No. I want to got your vote for our party. Wo represent the best principles of reform, and I have been told, Mr.— Mr.— ‘Snaggs’— thank you—that you—were one of our best citizens.” This was slightly stretching the truth, ns I had never heard of Mr. luaggs before, hut I wanted his vote. “I i Th* Band Dla.t, Every reader has heard of the ‘ sand blast” and the delicate tracery of which it is capable when properly applied to vessels and other utensils made of glass.

I want you to come to town and to my hotel and let me ex plain to you tho principles of right and freedom that our party advo cates." It costs tin to go inter town, an I ain’t got no store shoes an flxins,” said Snaggs, looking down at liis broken lug boots, through the holes of which no socks wore vislhle.

Here's a hill that you’ll know what to do with on election day. It will get you first rato quartors at the hotel." “I shoved a five dollar hill into the homy hand. It was received with a vacant grin. “Got enny 'baccy, stranger!” asked Mr. Snaggs without any thanks for tho money. I hud some and divided with him, and I left him in a radiant-good hu mor. He was going back to his pc when I called for him. “I didn't get your first name, Mr. Snaggs—Jim or John!” “ 'Tuiu’t no odds—J. Snaggs is as good es enny.” “J. Snaggs, esquire," I said, with a polite how. Tho last I saw of Snaggs he was standing ns immutable ns the sphinx in the middle of his patch of corn. He did not show up at the hotel, and ns our party expected to get in by the Bkin of its teeth I was rather anxious and concluded to seud a liv eryman after him. “Snaggs, Snaggs," said tho livery man musingly. “I only know one Snaggs hinll thin country; lives right over in the valley in a slab shanty and fixes up ns a scarecrow when crops are in.” “That’s the one," I said, "J.

Many odd and amusing stories are told of the clever French critic, Jules Jenin, and his friends. None is more pleasing or more to their credit than one in which Janin, Theodore Burette, the historian, and Leon Satayes, the composer, author end critic, figured. One of Jenin's best friends was an old sant, who sent him to school when he was a boy, kept hoase for him and took good care of him when he, u young man, was making his reputation, but not rnuoh money, in literature. It was perhaps in memory of her that he made a protege of a poor old women whom he noticed one day in the street. He placed her in a home for aged per sons, and until her death years after ward was her thonghtfnl and generous friend. The good woman was very ill once, und when she was convalescing ■he said: ‘I want to go nnd call on M. Janin. 1 must see him once more before 1 die.” Ono of tho women of the institution wont with her. Janin wna living thon in tho top of a honse which commanded a bountiful view of the gurden of the Luxembourg. His "garret'* was filled with hooks and pictures, bnt like any other gurret it was reached by climbing a great many stairs. Slowly and pain fully the old woman toiled up the long flights. She hud to sit down often to reBt. It took her nearly two hours to reach tho top. Jnnln was breakfasting with Theodore Bnrette. He received her with great cordiality and affection, und tho three lmd a happy breakfast. Tho two men devoted them selves to entertaining hor. They in quired all about the home, tho rules, the diversions, the food, her recent illness, and listened with genial interest to nil she had to say. She said goodby, and they mado rendy to escort hor down stairs. “We will rotnrn your visit soon," they said, aud placing themselves on either side of hor they began to descend tho stairs. But tho effort and excitement had boon too much for the feeble old Indy. Her limbs failed- her and sho could not take u step. Jnst then Sutayes appeared on the scene. "We must carry her down,” ho said. So they placed her comfortably in an armchair. Janin und Burette, who wore small men, took tho buck, Sutayes took tho front, and they went down flight after flight of the many itoried house breathless bnt cheerful. "Well, my jood woman," gusped Sa tayes, “I don't know of any qnceu who has a carriago like yours.” The three literary workers were hardly In training for thoir achievement, but they placed her safe and sound on the sidowalk, and Baw her go awny with her attendant, hor old heart deeply touched and pleased with the attentions sho hud received,—Youth’s Companion. A Cua of neing Charmed. A Now Yorker taking a Sunday stroll beyond the city limits was sur prised at tho conduct of twoscore of sparrows that fluttered in tho nir a foot or bo abovo a bare rock in the midst of an empty pasture. Now and thon a bird would light on the rock, but most of tho time tho gray ish brown flock poised uneasily just Over the spot. It looked at first ns if the birds were catching insects, though none was visible. On the human intruder's nearer approach tho birds still in the air took flight, and almost as many more sprang out of the grass immediately about the rock. At tho same instant the head aud rapidly moving tongue of a large blacksuilke became visible just be hind the rock, and ho too made off. It was apparently a clear caso of bird charming by the snake.—New York Sun. WANTED TO BE ARRESTED. Every Msn Should FU Tiling. Early.

A comic sceuo took place a low days ago nt Berne. A peasant from Oster- mundingeu was driving a cow into tho capital, and lmd arrived at tho lluristnldon, when tho animal bolted, and jumping tho rails around the well known bear pit arrived at the bottom without injury. The pro prietor thought that his cow was lost, but he was mistaken. She at tacked the bears bravely, which, utter- ly routed, retired into their den, into which she would have followed them hod she not been prevented by tho keeper of the animals, who let down the trapdoor. Then the cow went to tho slaughter house and fulfilled her destiny.—Pall Mall Budget. Good Fellowship Among Ants anil Ileea, Never among mankind can we find bo absolute and complete an absorption of the individual by the sooial group as in the cities of ants and bees, whore indi vidual property has never, it seems, been imagin'd.

Heady to BacrlAca Honor for Attentions from Softhcorted Women. The well dressed young fellow with a diamond scarfpiu insisted upon seeing the chief personally. No or dinary detective would do him. His business was of the first importance and ho persevered until he Btood in the presence of the head of the force. “■Well, sir, what can we do for yout” The chief wns very busy and the young fellow's deliberation irritated him. “You will favor me by being quick.” The youth looked mysterious, drew n chair softly to the desk nud placed his lips close to the ear of the official. “Not so loud,” he hoarsely whis pered. An expression of mingled aston ishment and disgust swept across the ibiuf's face. “What do you wont!” “I wont to Riiri-ender myself.” Tbeyoung fellowstured very hard. Ho seemed to think ho had made a sensational announcement, “Well?" “I say I want to surrender my self.” The chief wiped his glasses and thought, and his stern look softenud a trifle. “What have you done?” he in quired, casually scrutinizing liis vis itor. Tho follow with the diamond scarf- pin carelessly crossed his leg, direct ed his glance through tho window and laughed in a knowing way. “That's for you to find out,” he loftily retorted. “We’ve somothiqg else to do.

Tho chief nodded. “You know I haven’t done any thing to be arrested for.” “Of coursoIkuoiv.it.” Ho rose slowly, buttoned his coat and sighed. “It was a great scheme if it hud only worked.” Tho officor lost his pntience. “What do you meant” ho demand ed. “I’ve a good mind to arrest you asnvag." “No,no; not that, not that. Arrest mo for burglary or murder, hut not as a vng. I am trying to get popular with the young ladies of the flower mission.

Look for it, sen them the name of the word, nnd the, will return you book From the Atlanta Constitution. Mr. Henry Fink, receiver of the Ea9t Tennessee system, has promised to sign the traffic agreement between the South ern lines for all his roads. When he left Atlanta last week, after the meeting of the Southern Railway and Steamship Association, it was generally believed that the receiver would make up liis mind to sign after reflecting for a few days. Since going away lie lias come to the conclusion that it is best to sign up for all liis road9, and lie will stand by tbe agreement which wss drawn up at the Manhattan beach meeting. Mr. Fink accepts the arbitration in regard to Illi nois grain rates, and puts the Alabama Great Southern and the Cincinnati, New Orleans aud Texas in the association. But there is something else in the way. Mr. II. B. Plant lias two roads which are not in the association, the Brunswick and Western and the Alabama Midland He put his other roads in, but left these two out. The East Tennessee, the Richmond and Danville and three other lines signed the agreement on the condition that the Alabama Midland and the Bruns wick and Western should sign. When this point catre up in the association the Plant system's representatives were pushed to show theii hands. Traffic Manager Owens stated that lie believed Vice President Haines would sign for the two roads. Now, everything depends on Mr. Haines or Mr. Plant. If they sign up for the two lines named the association will he solid and wilfbe able to take care of itself all right. It will he a compact as- sociation, and Southern lines not in it will not he able to antagonize it. The Sam road has not signed, but that is not insisted on by the other lines. Col. H. S. Haines will, no doubt, sign for tlie Brunswick and Western and the Alabama Midland. He is a thorough, practical railroad man and believes in associations. Railroad men say that rates will be maintained better the coining year than ever before. FAIR NOTICfeli: MW. HOST li Discovered Their X.OM from . Friend.

The most giguntic piece of solid masonry that has Iwon erected in modem time is in tho Bombay presi dency. The city of Bombay, which is listed among the largest on the globe, having a population of nearly a million, was in danger of being forced to undergo a water famine. The wise men called a meeting and decided to build a monster dam—one that would inclose the entire water shed of the valley, which drains into the sea south of the city. The plans and specifications selected called for a dam of solid masonry, pyra midal in general outlines, two miles long, 1X8 feet high, 103 feet in thick ness at the base and thirty-one feet at tho top. In its finished condition it is reck oned ns the acme of engineering skill. The top is provided with a beautiful driveway twenty-five feet wide, pro tected on each side with concrete guards, each three feet in thickness and live feet high. It incloses a lake of water eight square miles in area. —St. Louis Renublic. The taxpayer Is glad to stand high in the community, but he doesn’t want to be overrated.
