There was every indication that Smallbore’s suit would be crowned with success. Neyer be fore had his smile been so bewitch ing or hie glance so thrillingly ten der. Miss Angelina basked in the sunshine of the former and revel led in the radiance of the latter. In fact so obvious was] it that Smallbore was the favored suitor that all other competitors had re tired from the field • except Frank Bluff, and it was the general ^opin ion that he didn’t leave it because of his inability to perceive when he was beaten. The Goodlnck parties, as every body in the social swim knows, are delightful and jolly affairs. They are not sufficiently particular, per- and discreet character. But even the most temperate of wooers is likely to get off his men tal balance when lie sees a rival making love to the woman he has resolved to make his wife. So he hastily decided te stay to keep an eye on Bluff, but would make himself as little conspicuous as possible. “Come upstairs and take a bran dy and soda,” said Seaspray. “I think yo’ll feel better then.” “Thankth, I thinkth I will,” said Smallbore, who felt the need of something to stimulate his cour- terms.of their acquaintance dur ing the past six months that justi fied such familiarity. In fact the relations between them had been decidedly “strained.” But poor Smallbore was powerless in Bluff’s hands He was hustled along un til he found himself plumped down alongside of M’ss Angelina. To add to his consternation, he found that he had dropped his handkerchief, and could no longer hide his embarrassment behind its protecting jolds. tracting the fibre from all fibrous son of the Department' of Agricul- ; hag late] b9en experi . ture of Georgia sends out the fol-: ,. ... , ' , ° menting with bear grass, the text ile qualities of which are well lowing recipes for saving meat.

There is no stiffness or restraint about their hospitality. They pos sess the happy faculty of making everybody feel at home. The house, with the large conservatory attached to it, is delightfully ar ranged for “spooning” or flirting, or even more serious amatory bus iness. The hons'e is deservedly very popular with mammas with marriageable daughters. One mam ma who there successfully launch ed three daughters upon the se rene and placid,seamf matrimony, once remarked: “It is my candid opinion that if a girl can’t get off the hooks through Goodluck’s par ties, she may as well retire to a nunnery at once.” It is not strange, therefore, that Smallbore should have decided, after careful consideration, to for mally “pop” to Hiss Angelina at the next Goodluck party. The fateful evening came around in due course, as all evenings do, fateful or otherwise. Smallbore was a happy man, and he believed that somewhere in the' neighbor hood of midnight lie would be Btill happier. The most careful and methodi cal of men is apt to become ab sent-minded when he thinks that he is going to “pop” to a young lady within the nextfew hours. I do not speak from experience, but I have been'so informed by those whom I have consulted on the subject. Smallbore told me' after wards that he dressed like an au tomaton that evening; he was thinking all the time of “some thing else.” It was a long- drive to the Good lnck mansion, but the way didn’t seem long to Smallbore. The rain fell in a dismal drizzle. The con trast between the cheerless streets and the brilliantly-lighted parlors, full of fragrance and laughter, and well bred men and handsome wo men, was equal to that Between the ogre’s den and the fairies’ grotto 'in the pantomime. So it seemed to the poor people gathered out side who occasionally caught frag mentary glimpses of the scene within when a door was opened, and they wished wistfully, that they, too, might be rich. But no sooner had Smallbore opened his month to greet the first friend that he met—young Jack Seaspray—when he made a dis covery which caused him to feel that he would gladly change places with the poorest of the poor chaps outside, and remain a poor chap the rest of his days. That he told me himself. his false He had forgotten teeth! He turned pale and clapped-his handkerchief to his month, while harrowing' thoughts .swirled all through his brain. Good heavens! if he should smile he was a lost man! He could net sing. He was robbed of his accomplish ments, and transformed into an awkward booby. “What’s the matter, old fellow?” .asked Seaspray. with genuine so licitude. “Nothing, nothing,” muttered poor.omellbcre, behind the folds of his handkerchief, the absence of his teeth making him l} S p. gueth it’s only a chill, buth I think I’d better go home.” Wise decision! Why didn’t he stick to it? Because fate ordained is three sheets in the wind with the fourth flapping. Seaspray was something of a yachtman, and was given to nauti cal phrases. “Well, if that is the case, he had better fight shy of Miss Angelina,” was the judicious response; “she threw over Will Highfly last year because she caught him tight once.” Smallbore, despite the brandy and soda, was of the same opin ion, but as he explained to' me af terwards, when making a clean breast of the affair, he coaid not resist the temptation to steal down stairs to see what Bluff was up to. He selected a place in a deep shad ow, where he coaid see withoat much risk of being seen. But in this world when a fellow gets into a fix, the thing that he wishes most to avoid is the thing most likely to happen. The sharp eyes of Miss Kitty Chipper discovered him. She had been out six seasons, and perhaps had her own private reasons for objecting to a long-continued tete- a-tete between Miss Angelina and Bluff. “Oh, Mr. Smallbore!” she ex claimed, tripping up to him, where have yon been keeping yourself so long? I’m so glad I have found you. There are a lot of girls who are just dying to have you sing a duet with Miss Angeli na. That sweet one, you know, about love will.have its way.” Miss Kitty tapped him with her fan, and added slyly, pointing to where Angelina and Bluff' were sitting: “Now don’t you think I’m real good friend of yours? There’s many a slip ’twixt the enp and the lip, you know.” “Confound her!” thought Small bore. (He really thought some thing stronger, he told me.) Ear lier in the evening he had looked forward with a great deal of pleas ure to singing with Miss Angelina, but now the bare idea of it made him shudder. - “You’ll have to excuthe me,” mumbled Smallbore, vainly en deavoring to conceal his lisp. “I am noth feething thwelL” “Indeed, I think we had better excuse you !” exclaimed Miss Kitty with emphasis, lifting her eye- Bro'Ws. Smallbore didn’t appreciate the significance of that emphasis. He was only too glad 'to get rid of her. Meanwhile the false theory con cerning the cause of Smallbore’s defective speech had travelled like lightning. Tom Jenkins, who owed Smallbore a grudge for a richly-deserved snub which Small- borehad once administered to him, found an opportunity to whisper it to Bluff. I got it afterwards from a friend of Bluff’s that this is what he said: “That snob, Smallbore, is as fall as a tick. He can't even talk straight. If yon play your cards well, yon’ve'got a winning game.’* I never did like Bluff, but I must admit that he is a pretty sharp fellow. He at once perceived the advan tage which the situation offered for him. Kitty Chipper had only left Smallbore five minutes when Bluff strolled up to him and said,; con solingly: “What’s this I hear, old fellow; yon are not feeling well? I am Brandy* ry and get some fresh air, you’ll feel better.” The tones]were tender, and the look divinely sympathetic. It was in that conservatory Smallbore had fondly imagined he would ask Miss Angelina to be his wife. Here was the opportunity offered to him. But he was just as pow erless to take advantage of it as if he had been bound hand and foot. He had never before in his life, he told me, felt so abjectly and com r pletely miserable. “Ith nothing; ith nothing, I at- thnre you, Mith Anthelina,” he said piteously. “I’m alittle thick, thath all; I’ll get over it.” Miss Angelina looked at him earnestly. There was no trace on his face of that bewitching smile with which he was wont to meet her gaze. Alas! poor Smallbore did not dare to attempt a smile That would expose a cavity where four pearl-white teeth had been accustomed to glisten. His lips were tightly drawn. He presented a most woeful aspeck Miss Angelina’s sympathies were touched. Smallbore might have extricated himself from his difficulty and pushed his suit to a successful issue on some other oc casion, when better equipped for it, bat for one awkward little cir cumstance. 4 Women are quick to put this and that together and jamp at con clusions. Miss Angelina had del icate olfactory organs. She de tected th9 odor of brandy. It was the result of that confounded brandy and soda Smallbore had taken at the suggestion of Sea spray. Her manner became frig id immediately. “Mr. Smallbore, I think you had better go home at once,” she ex claimed tartly. Then turning to Bluff, who had remained close.at hand to see how his little game worked, she said sweetly: “Will you be kind enough to take me to the supper room?” “Don’t be toq hard on him, Miss Angelina,” Smallbore Heard Bluff say as -they moved off./ “I don’t think that he often get3 in that condition.” When Smolibore reached his room the first thing that awakened in his mind a realizing sense of what that evening had cost him was the sight of those precious false teeth glistening at the bottom of a tum bler filled with water. He knew that he could never so far sacrifice his pride as to tell Miss Angelina the true cause of his seemingly strange conduct. He had lost her. float an egg. ox Jrish potato, to, h 0 nse, and owing to the remarkabie strength of the blades, they were you’ll get well in a jiffy. Miss Angelina has been so anxious to see you all the evening that, by Jove, she has hardly been civil to me," Could the figures be gathered and compared, people who think the modern modes of travel involve danger would be surprised.

Trim meat well and pack in water-tight barrels, and when the compound is cold pour in-until the meat is cov ered, aud weight down so as to keep the meat submerged. Keep on hand enough of the compound so as to add as it evaporates. In four or five weeks the meat will be ready to hang up, then take it oat, wash well and hang up to dry. This should be done in ary weath er, and it would be well to dry out with slow fires. When thoroughly dry take down.and sew up neatly in a covering of shirting or duck ing, which cover well with a paste made of two parts lime and one part of wheat shorts or flour. Sea that, the paste is put thick enough to exclude the air. HaDgup in cool, dry place, and the meat will keep for years. THE SKIPPER ELY.

The Philadelphia Record does not think, under the circumstances, that the fact that the debt of the United States has been reduced to §830,000,000 is much to boast of as a financial record. The redaction has been accomplished by main taining excessive taxes upon arti cles of necessity and by purchas ing government bonds from their holders at 25 and 20 per cent, pre mium. The money extorted from the people in needless taxation has been paid to the bondholders large ly in premiums upon a debt not due for years to come. It is reported that not less than 35,000 negroes have left North Carolina within the past thirteen months. Most of them have gone to Mississippi'and Arkansas.

The experiments of Mr. Eorbes have developed the fact that this this bear grass, whiclu grows in such profusion all over the south, will produce eighty-five per cent of pure vanilla fibre, the best to be found in the world. There was a decorticating ihachine at the re cent Piedmont exposition, hut it stands to reason that-a machine powerful enough to tear away the bark and pulp of a plant must nec essarily be injurious, to a greater or less extent, to the fibre. itself. Mr. Forbes’s process, which is a chemical one, is as rapid as that of the machine, as well as cheaper and every strand of the fibre preserved in all its original strength. It emerges from its chemical bath glossy and ready for commercial business. Mr. Forbes, who has given the subject of textile production a great deal of thought and investi gation', is of the opoiniou that in the bear grass, which is indigenous to our soil, the south has found' a substitute for jute that is' cheaper, stronger and better iu every way than jute itself.' Judging from the specimens we have been shown by Mr. Forbes, we have no dqubfc that his opinion is correct. The fibre is far stronger than that of jute,, and is smoother and more perfect in every way; As to producing the fibre, Mr. Forbes says that the cost of get ting it out by his process, will nardly enter into any consideration of the matter. The main question is, can the farmers of the south be induced to utilize this wonderful fibre, which grows everywhere in spite of the attempts made to eradicate it, instead of placing themselves at the mercy of jute trusts on the one hand, and in the power of the “tare calculators” on the other? Bear grass grows in abundance all over the south, and without cul tivation. It has been estimated that if planted in a field and rough ly cultivated, it could be made to yi^ld twenty tons an acre, if not more. This is a very important matter for the farmers, and we trust that something may come of it. Anything'that will utilize and develop the latent resources of the south is to be welcomed, and we we'are inclined to think that the process invented by Mr, Forbes is destined to revolutionize the fibre production of this country. A case of considerable interest to men who' insure their lives for the benefit of their.wives, was re cently decided in St. Louis. The case was one in which a man had taken oat such a policy. His wife died and he married again, having children by .both marriages. At his death a dispute arose as to who was entitled to the insurance. The decision of the court was that as the insurance had been taken put for the benefit of -thg^first wife, her children alone were, entitled to the money. The flag of the three Americas which floats over the headquarters of the Conference at Washington, has a bine field decorated with our eagle guarding tbe Western Hem isphere, surrounded by a symbolic wedding ring, while the back ground is formed by golden stars arranged in the form of a southern cross. to send wateumelons to Georgia. And yet fhis unexpected and un natural tarn in the ice market is the subject of poetical considera tion. A concern in New Orleans which manufactures large quanti ties of ice has offered to furnish ar tificial ice to New York, provided the winter continues so mild as to make the natural ice crop a fail ure. It is very likely that the north will have to depend largely on artificial ice this year. Not a pound has yet been cut on -the lakes and streams which supply the bulk of the ice for the north ern states, aud, even if the rest of the winter should be normally cold, a shortage in the crop would be almost inevitable. The stock on hand is small. So certain are the people of the north that they cannot reap their usual harvest of ice this winter that in several of their cities arrangements are being made tqbaild ice factories. It is a question if such investments Would prove profitable. In view of the fact that there would probably not be another demand on ice machines in the north for many years, and that the cost of the construction of a sufficient number of them would be great, it would probably be cheaper for the north to buy ice from the southern factories, provided they could be supplied from this source, than to engage in its manufacture. But another difficulty presents itself. The ice factories of the south find ready sale for their products, aud should they attempt to send ice to the north a great enlargement of their plants . would be necessary. In fitting themselves for this new business they would incur an ex pense. for which one season’s sales would by no means compensate them, aud tnere is little prospect that they would receive northern orders again in a loqg time. The manufacture of an artificial supply of ice for the north will, in all probability, be a losing business whenever it is attempted, and for that reason there is little prospect that it will be undertaken to any very considerable extent in the south.' But that ice machines will be setup in many localities in the north to supply the deficiency of the natural ice supply seems almost certain. All over the country peo ple are praying for a freeze jnst as in summer drouth they pray for rain. POSIT IVE BAR LA INS. The Musie of the Future. She was a sweet singer and he loved her.
