It was growing dark when Mr. Brown

“It must cost a great deal,”said the elder
Mr. Brown, doubtfully.
i “Oh, no,” said his son, “a million ought to
I du it.”
“A mere trifle,” said the old gentleman,
mimicking Frank's airy tone. “Upon my
soul,” he continued, with sudden energy, “if
I stay here much longer I shall bo ns stark,
staring niad as all of the rest of you are. hy,
they tell me that that peninsula over there,
with that absurdly big hotel, which they will
never fill in the world” “All of the rooms
are engage'! already,’ murmured Frank, but
Ids father, with a snort of incredulity, pro
ceeded without heeding him—“with its
parks, and its drives, an ! its zoological gar
dens, and God knows what, begging your
pardon, madani-s, they tell me that that was
u sage brush desert last year. I don’t believe
it—l won’t believe it!”
! “My dear father,” said bis ton, "two o>

pretty near the whole place for a short bit.
But a railroad came in here and that brought

“There, there!” exclaimed his father,
i hastily, “don’t get started now. I have
heard all about the harbor.”
“ And the glorious climate?”
“Yes,” said Mr. Brown, emphatically,
“and the climate, too.”
' “I am afraid you don’t appreciate it,
though,” said his son, reproachfully. “Just
think of the Boston east wind to-night and
; compare it with this air, where you can feel
your lungs grow. Why, I believe I have
i sprouted an extra one myself since I have
“I believe that you have, my dear boy,”
said the obi gentleman, chuckling, “from the
am-iuot of talking that you do, I believe that
vou have. Eh, senora. I rather think I got
i-.im there! Did you hear that, Tulita, my
dear? Ila! ha! ha!”
At this moment a carriage was seen coming
up the hill toward the house.
“Ah!” cried Tulita, “here comes Aladdin.”
I The carriage stopjied, and Benton descend
’d. Tulita, waving the bunch of roses before
his face, bade him good evening.
“VCcll, sir,” said the cider Mr. Brown, “and
how many towns have you built today?”
“Not many,” said Benton, laughing. Then
drawing from his coat pocket a package of
papers, he handed it to Mr. Brown, saying:
“Here are your deeds and abstracts; they are
all right!”
“What!” shouted Frank. “Father, have
vou" but here he burst out laughing.
“Father,” he continued, regaining his gravi
ty, “father, look me in the eye. Is it possible
that vou, vou, n conservative merchant of
Philadelphia, have, at the present ruinous
prices, be-’n indulging in wild, insane specu
lation, that you”
“There, there, Master Frank,” said his
father, joining in the laughter; “weall know
that you have sprouted an extra lung.”
“Don’t mind him, Mr. Brown,’’ said Ben
ton. “You have got a bargain. As soon as
you get your vines well under way one year’s
crop of raisin grapes will pay for it.”
A Oh, of course, of course,” said the old
gentleman, “it is a bargain. They all are.
Though to my mind,” he continued, putting
his arm around Tulita and drawing her to
his side, “this is the best bargain ever got in
; southern California.”
[ “Yes,” said his son. looking at his wife
I proudly, “and to think that I only had to put
i up s;j for the option.”
“Men are so conceited,” said Tulita, con
fidingly to her father-in-law; “that was not
the way of it at all. It was I who gave a
dozen lavender sticks for a husband and the
town of Lunavarita.”
TREASURES.
Have hope! Though clouds e? tpoj round.
Ami gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow;
No night but hath its mom!
Have faith! Where’er thy bark is driven,
The calm’s disport, the tempest’s mirth.
Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth.
Have love! Not love alone for one.
And scatter, like the circling sun, i
Thy charities ou all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul—
Hope, faith and love-.»:d thou shall find
Strength when life's surges fiercest roll,
Light when thou else wert blind.

The Shooting of Gen. Nelson.
Mr. Lincoln was much troubled when he
learned that his “sailor dragoon,” Gen. Nel
son, had been shot by Gen. Davis in a hotel
at Louisville. Gen. Nelson was over six i-et
in height, weighed over 250 pounds, and was
notoriously strong, while Gen. Davis was a
quiet little gentleman, who never troubl 'd
any one.
Si'nator Alorton, with Gens. Nelson rnd
Davis, were conversing together, when Nel
son became excited and deliberately slapped
Davis in the right check. Davis and Alorton
steppe:! back, and Alorton gave Davis a ] s
tol. Davis advanced toward Nelson, who
was leaning against the bar, leveled the pi- M
and fired. At the puff of the revolver Nel on
put his hand ou his heart, and when the by
standers rail up they heard him say: “I'm a
dead man. Send for an Episcopal elerjy-
His friends carried him into a little room
under the stairs. They opened his clone's
and found near the heart a little blue murk
about the size of a buckshot, and that was all.
The wound had closed; no blood was run
ning; you would hat-dly notice that it was a
wound. By good luck there was an Epi: 'O
- clergyman, a man with whom Nelson
was intimate, in the house. He was sent for
and came immediately, wid when ho entered
the room all others withdrew. In about, ten
minutes we were told that Nelson was dc.nl.
Quite a number came running up at t'ao
sound of the shot and among them a poll- o
ijian, who arrested Davis. Davis went w ith
him quietly, but upon Gen. Buell living in
formed of it he made a demand upon t’to
mayor for the delivery of Davis to him,
which, after a momentary hesitation, was
done. No notice was taken of tho aIT.-tir.
Everybody felt sorry that Nelson was killed,
but they understood that Tavis could not do
anything else than what. c did do. He bad
been struck, and if he hadn’t resented it ho
would have been disgraced and compelled to
leave the army. He could not resent it r-ny
other way.—Bon: Perley Poore in Boston

Turkish Women’s Afternoon Drive.
The afternoon drive is, after all, a part
of the seclusion of the Turkish women.
They are in the outer world, but not <4
I it, except in fancy. Observe that el"-
I gant turnout! ylt is a pretty bronghani.
I The horses are, for what I know, from
the sleppes of Russia or the rolling
prairies of Hungary. They are neat,
long tailed, spirited animals. Two fe
'males ajipear and are carefully liel(>ed by
the slave into the vehicle. Tho coni h
man does not get a glimpse of the ladies.
They are handy with their sunshades.
The brown satin cushions receive their
forms, the mirror is brightened. They
are ready for their confectionery and
their outing. Their lips are of carnation;
their faces are of a rich creamy delicacy
and not much hid from the gaze of the
passengers. Whether on the Gezirch :
drive at Cairo, on the Bois at Paris, er '
the Row in London, in the Park at New I
York, or on the way to the “Sweet !
Waters” of Europe, these fair ones are
■ not disposed to be too much concealed
from the world.
Only a few of the rich garments which
fill the wardrobes of the harem are ever
worn. They are too heavy. They are
only for display. They are presents
from the head of the house, and be- I
stowed with great ceremony. As in s-.1l !
the harems, so in even the seraglio, the ;
visitors, whom the master oj the hou o [
does not see unveiled, drive him from I
the penetralia of his home to seek a
refuge in the Salemlik. The porter never
allows ingress without some testimonial.
This requires the countersign of the black i
aga, who keeps the key to the cage. But
why call it a cage? Nothing can lie more
delightful, especially in warm sunim- r
weather, than a konak on the hills or a ;
palace on the shores of the straits. At
midday the inmates take their siesta.
There is a lullaby in the laughing rippie !
of the current almost at their feet.
There is an occasional measured plas'i ;
of passing boats; the regular rattle of ;
the oar locks; the murmuring of music '
in other chambers, liesides a drowsiness
and a lack of garish light, which reminds ;
one most of the Cave of Sleep in Spi n
ser's ‘‘Faery Queen.” —S. S. Cox's,
“Diversions of a Dinlomat in Turkey.”
An~OM Mun’T'&orrow,
“A!m!” the old man sighed, with bended head*
"What brilliant dreams of life have come and fled;
Row have I yearned for fame, and o'er and o’er
Spent sleepless nights in searching burning lore,
And now, in weary age, I simply find
Folks say ‘he is a man of brilliant mind,
lie's deeply read in philosophic books,
And mathematics, with its turns and crooks, I
To him is like a volume all unsealed,
Its pages opened and its truths revealed.
The books he writes are read by learned men,
Who wait impatient while he w ! . ’s his pen.’
But this, alas, no music has for i. .-
When greater men on every band I see.
Oh! why on knowledge did I waste my all,
Instead of learning how to nlay baseball.”

DEACON BURDETTE’S PHILOSOPHY.
don’t knock, baroness; come right in.
Mrs. and Mr. Baroness Burdett-Coutts are
coming to America. There are plenty of
coots in the states, in every town, but the
baroness will not claim relationship with any
of them. Hey? She doesn't pronounce her
name that way.’ That's no difference; every
body else does. Another joke saved. Letter
gog Ala Gher!
EITHER WAY WOULD HELP A LITTLE.
The Boston Herald thinks that “sometimes
Judge Hilton wishes he had never been
born.” Oh, no; he only wishes that A. T.
Stewart had never died.
FATE CANNOT HARM HIM.
“Arc you prepared for the necks twirled?”
solemnly asked a grizzly old turkey gobbler
who had roosted high through the storm}’
times of a score of Thanksgivings. “I am
ready for any course,” replied the youngster,
“my acts be on your neck; but you, grand
father—are you prepared for boarders f'
“That isn’t the question,” replied the reck
less old tough, swallowing a fragment of
Richmond granite byway of an appetizer.
“Are the boarders prepared for me?” Ami
chuckling hoarsely he strode down to the
market place to note quotations in live and
dressed poultry.
SLAUGHTER IN THE PAN.
“Why,” spake the fearful guest, at the Pig
hatchahashett house, down in Maine, ‘-why
do you have that picture of ‘Jessie Brown at
Lucknow’ hung up over the dining room
■ loorl” “Because,” replied the smiling host,
“she it was who said to the starving soldiers,
Dinner! you hear the slogan!’” The giddy
guest gave one ghastly gasp and got.
ONE IS PLAYED OUT AND T'OTHER PLAYED IN.
“There is this difference,” said Mr. Old
boarder, “between rehashed meat and re
hashed stories. Everybody knows what is in
the story, but all the sum of human knowl
edge can't guess what is in the bash.”
‘•Hence," said the landlady, “we weary of
the one, while the other is a constant ex
citant and an unfailing zest.” So saying, she
placed the old familiar dish before them all,
while the low, hollow groans went circling
round.
SMOOTH AS SILK.
“I should think,” said Ethel, “it would feel
so funny to have a mustache on your lip.
Doesn’t it tickle you all the time?” “No,”
Aiid -Ethelred, boldly, “it does not feel
strange at all. See— *’ And just then the
brooding owl that to the moon complained
from yonder ivy mantled tower was scared ,
out of a year's hooting by a startling sound. •
something like the final exhaust of a bath j
tub at midnight’s silent hour, only louder ami |
more abrubt. “Oh!” said Ethel, in a sweet ;
little voice, and “Ah,” said JEthclred, with
the satisfied tone of a man who has just swal
lowed a large, wide, long, brand new oyster.
DEPENDS ON WHAT HE TASTES.
“Editor of the Eagle: I am a young man
just beginning life. 1 am very neat in my
jxu’soual appearance and am very fond of
dress, but my salary is only $4 a week. Do
you think it would indicate a lack of taste if
I were to wear a diamond pin?” Oh, no, my
boy, indeed no; it would indicate a lack of
brains, ami presumably a lack of honesty.
RIIAPSODICAL NONSENSE.
Doesn’t a lunatic make you tired? Here is
a poet—and a man who is old enough to
i know better, too—who says: “Why do I sing
when the night is dark, and the stars are
I above, instead of the sun;” Been use* that is
the way it always is, donkey; the night is
the darkest time of the year nnd the stars
are then always up. If ever you should see !
tho sun shining at night you wouldn’t sing- a I
note. You would howl and run for the cellar, !
thinking that you were as crazy as you really
are. —Brooklyn Eagle.
A Man with Remarkable Ears.
! Mr. Joseph Errett, who resides 1 )etw<m Mid* I
j dietown and New Stanton, has as large ears I
os any man perhaps in the county. They are
j thirteen inches long and of proportionate di- ;
I mensions every other way. . One might at first ’
! supjxjse that such phenomenally large cars •
i would detract from the owner's beauty, while
i possessing no com])cnsating advantage. Not
| at all. Mr. Errett is ns good looking as other
i men.—Greensburg (Pa.) Press.
**Omaha Dame (to applicant for domestic
I service) —You do i;<-t look very strong.
i Applicant—lndeed I am, muni. The last
woman I worked for said she believed I
j walked ten miles every morning.
“Walked ten miles every morning? Why,
what were you doirg?”
j “Getting breakfast,mum.”—Omaha World.
A Sagacious Clerk.
“I am tired of the struggle of life,” said a
melancholy merchant to his clerk.
i “Tired of life!”
“Yes. it will be a sweet relief when my
time comes to sink in obscurity and oblivion."
“Why don't you take your ad. out of the
papers right away?” asked the clerk sym
pathetically.—Merchant T ravcler.

A Distressing Predicament.
■ Conductor (after the accident)—Well, sir,
we have at last found your valet, but, sad tc.
say, he's cut in-two.
! Engl s Tourist—Aw, vewy distressing-
Sorry to trouble you. dontcherknow. but J’vo
never traveled in this country before; would
you see in which half is the key of my trunki
—Life.
The Arm of the Future.
■ The increased energy of infantry fire,
which the introduction of the repeating
rifle will bring with it, will probr.bly not
cause any radical change in the nature of
fighting. Such will probably first take
place when the discovery of another im
pelling force 1:: s taken the place of gun
powder. The latter, when compared with
the modern development of technical
ecience, must be regarded as antiquated
means that only berely-exists because no
proper substitute Las been yet found for ;
it. That it will be superseded is only a
question of time. If an impelling energy
could lie discovered which, without loud
detonation and smoke, would work upon
the projectiles, and was, at tho same
time, of the necessary energy, great revo
lutions in file mode «.f fighting would en
sue which we are as yet not capable of
estimating.—The Nation in Arms—Von
■ der Glotz.
