A Bad Egg.
(From the French.)
In a certain year—no matter when—a
dreadful murrain desolateed the poultry-
yards of the province of Volgoda, in Russia.
I don’t know whether it was the pip, or the
' roup, or the gapes, or something quite dif-
ferent to any of these diseases; suffice it to
say that old Ivan, Count Cochiuski’s head
laborer, grew quite stiff in the back from
stooping to pick up the dead fowls, for no
sooner did he go to one end of the yard to
gather up the defunct,than he was summoned
by half a dozen bodies in the opposite direc-
tion. .
Now, if there was one thing that Count
Cochinski liked better than another, it was a
newly laid egg. A simple, natural taste, you
will say, and one easily to be gratified by a
wealthy Muscovitc nobleman. I grant you,
in ordinary times ; but this was an extraord-
inary epoch, when the chickens were playing
hazard for their very lives, and were a gnat
deal {too excitable and nervous to think of
laying any eggs. So Monsieur Creveceur,
the count’s French cock, was at his wit’s
end, and I suspect, by the event that fol-
lowed, laid in a stock of thes kind of cgg’s
that we sometimes find labelled in grocers’
shops at ten cents the dozen, and not war-
rented.
At all events, one morning as the count was
sitting at breakfast (he was a widower.) sur-
rounded by his booming family,and support-
ed at the other end of the table by the Eng-
' lish governess a most estimable lady of super-
ior birth and, irreproachablc principles; as
the count was seated thus, he suddenly ex-
claimed in a voice of thunder, which made
the glasses on the sideboard ring again,
“Send Creveceur hither!” - _
In a few minutes, clad in the ‘white robe
of his sacred profession, the high priest of
the kitchen approached, bowing reverently.-
“Creveceur,” said the count, displaying
an unmistakable fspecimen of : addeldom,
“how is this? A bad egg at Count Coehinsk’s
table 1”
“Oh! your highness," exclaimed the cook,
with an insinuating grimacc and'a bow so
profound that the count was enabled to see
the nape of the professor’s neck, “that was
not intended for your highness, it;was in-
tended for madame, the governess.”
The governess darted one withering look
of scorn at the Frenchman, gathered up her
‘voliiminous skirts, and rushed from the ta-
ble. There had long been a smouldering
feud between herself and Creveceur, but
this crowning insult was a declaration of open
war.
So she retired to her chamber and compos-
ed an eloquent letter in French addressed to
the count, the purport of which was that
either she or the cook must go, and she
hinted politely in conclusion that she did not
much care which. The fact was that ma-
dame was tired of being frozen up six
months in the year, and, having gathered
together a little independence, was anxious
to return to her native London. The count
read her letter and poundered. There were
governesses in the world—there was but one
Crevcceur. Madame was somewhat exacting
in temper, besides being well stricken in
years, and the count thought he should like
somebody a thought younger and prettier at
the other end of his long table So ma-
dame departed and Crevcceur stayed. Well,
the count thought he also would take a trip
to England for the sake of enjoying one mild
winter, at least, and to pick up a fresh in.
structor for his children. The czar was grac-
iously pleased to permit him to travel, and he
accordingly proceeded to London. Now you
will see how the bad egg in Volgoda affected
the Rev. Reuben Fowler,C urate on Chicken-
hamstead, Yorkshire.
Reuben was an orphan, without a near re-
lation in the world except one sister, and his
cup of joy would have been filled to over-
flowing if that sister had come to live with
him. In his collegiate dreams he had always
’ pictured Leonora in the snug curacy cottage
pouring out tea or smiling .at him over her
embroidery while he put the finishing touches
to the Sunday’s sermon.
But it was ordained otherwise. L'eonora
was a good looking young lady. with a slim
figure, bright complexion and glossy black
curls. Now natural attractions are set off by
dress. Leonora was fond of dress, and as
dress costs money, which was a scarce
commodity under Reuben's roof, Leonora
preferred going as governess into the family
of SirJohn Rooster, where she couldpfiord to
dress well and could also be seen when
dressed. There she was made quite a pet of.
The young ladies loved her like a sister; she
talked politics with Sir John after dinner to
perfection; she flirted with the heir of;the
house, who was in the guards, when he came
down for the hunting season; in short, Lady
Rooster, a most amiable woman,becamc quite
uncomfortable about it, fearing he might be-
come entangled.
It must therefore, have been at her insti-
gation, for I know the daughter sheds floods
of tears, 9nd Sir John was as sulky as a bear
for three weeks after, that Count Cochinski
made such dazzling offers to Miss Leonora
that she closed with him at once.
One day Reuben received a letter,of which
the following is a true copy: '

accurate ?) L. F.
Reuben was a model brother, and met his
sisterfiat‘ Eggleton. While he was waiting for
the train, and setting his watch by the station
clock, the glass fell out and was broken to
pieces on the pavement. There was a quarter
of an hour to spare, so he ran off to a watch-
maker's at Eggleton. _ .
The proprietor of the shop was out, but
would return in a minute. So the boy said.
Reuben waited, and waited, but the w itch-
maker did not come, so he left his watch in
the shop, consoling himself with the thought
that .it was safer there than in his pocket.
amid the roguery of London. At last the
train arrived, and a lovely face, set in a
charming bonnet, smiled upon him from one.
of the carriage windows. The commercial
traveler opposite envied Reuben the resound-
ing kisafivith which his sister saluted him.
The loving ‘pair reached London without
adventure, and drove straight to Clucking's
hotel. The evening was spent by Leonora _
in making sundry purchases of a feminine
character, Which dipped so deeply into her
purse that she begged her brother to discharg
the hotel bill. promising early remittances
from Russia. The steamer Chanticleer was to.
sail early in the morning, and at 9 o’clock 03
that eventful day Reuben and his sister went
on board. -'
Count Cochinski, who {was calmly pacing .
the quartendeck, received Miss Fowler with
cordiality, and her brother with lofty civility.
Reuben soon began to find himself do trod.
The Chanticleer showed no signs of speedy
departure, but kept blowing ofi her steam in
a recklessly extravagant manner.
She also received into her interior more
barrels of porter than Reuben :conceived all;
the English in Hamburg could drink in a3
twelve-month. Leonora retired below, where
aided by an ofilcious stewardess, she began
to unpack her boxes and arrange her state—'
room. The count continued topace‘the dwik,
in silence, so Reuben amused himself for a
while watching the cargo being . taken on
board. Here, however, he was perpetually
getting in the way; heavy chests were slung.
with a “By your leave, air,” [on to the degk,
within an inch of his toes, until at last, the
second mate, an over-worked person, with a
dirty notebook in his hand, asked him if he
was a passenger, and upon Reuben replying
in the negative, said he had better clear out
of the gangway if he didn’t want to do him-
self a mischief. The bewildered curate re-_
tired precipitately into the state-room to bi
his sister farewell. ~ ‘ '
““Then you will pay the hotel bill, dear
brother ?” she said in the course of their part-
ing words. .
“Oh, yes, I have the whole of my quarter’s
salary—£17 15s."—hc replied. “I wonder the
waiter let us go without paying."
“But you're to sleep there to-night,”
rejoined Leonora; “besides you look such a
respectable old dear they'd trust you any-
where." r
With a final embrace, and a formal bow to
the count on deck, Reuben took his depart-
ure. ,
Which of the sights of London should he
go and see was his next consideration. He
hailed the first omnibus that passed, deter.
mined to settle the question there, as being
a place of comparatively solitude. .Two
young lady passengers charitably contracted
their crinolines and allowed Reuben to settle
down between them. As soon as he settled,
he ,began to glance slyly at his neighbors.
Both were elegantly dressed and handsome.
One was a brunette, something like Leonora,
the other was _a mild, placid, innocent-
looking blonde, who sat with her eyes'cast
down and her exquisitely-gloved hands fold-
ed together like a modernmadame. Reuben
was a prudent young man, and took the op-
portunity of being in such respectable com-
pany to cxa mine his pocket book. He
found the contents all right, and folded two
sovereigns and one-half sovereign into three
five-poupd notes, putting five shillings in his
waist pocket for casual expenses.
He then replaced the gold and notes in his
pocket beck, which be carefully lowered into
the breast-pocket of his overcoat. Soon after
the brunette got out, followed immediately
by the blonde lady. Reuben proceededsomc
distance further and,then got out and cqm-
menced sight-seeing in earnest. He visited
the Polytechnic and Zoological gardens,
stared into innumerable ‘shop windows and
assisted at various out-door exhibitions.
Finally, about 5 p. m., be found himself very
tired and hungry, when suddenly a face
passed him in' the throng which he thought
he knew. He looked back, the face looked
back, too, and was staring over its shoulder.
Another minute and a mutual recognition
took place, and ,he was shaking hands with
his old college chum Jack Dorking.‘ True,
they had not been very intimate at college,
for Jack had been looked upon by the
profession as a sort of black sheep, and had
been got rid of in rather a summary man-
ner. .
But what did that matter ? On a strainer
in London, lonely and desolate amid the un-
sympathizing crowd, and 01 familiar [face
beams with surpassing brightness; in other
words, Reuben was very glad to meet Jack,
and they agreed to dine together. .
The curate's economical mind suggested a
modest eating-house, where a reasonable din-
ner could be obtained for about a couple of
Shi‘igs a head,but the ambitious soul of Jack
Dorking scorned the suggestion.
“My dear f¢110W2'.’,.5§i.d he, “you’re my
guest to-day, and wo’llhave a really nice lit
tle dinner together. Besides, are you aware,"
he continued solemnly, "fthat at'these slap-
bangs, as they are termed,_from the feverish
mode of thumping down the dishes adopted
by the- jaded waiters, the anchOvy paste is
composed entirely of brick-dust and rod lead
the soup is derived frOm diseased cab horses,_
while a Newfoundland dog licks the plates
clean, and will, in due course of time, when
hc.has ‘shufiled off this mortal coil,’ appear
on these very plates whose purity ho
formerly so faithfully maintained, in the
shape of haricot mutton ? Now here," said
he, as they entered the portals of a magnifi-
cent saloon ornamented with plate-glass,
gliding and evergreens in elegantly designed
vases, “here you will dine, as sentincnt be-
ings gifted with stomachs and palates ought
to dine." ‘
Let us observe J ack~ Dorking while he or-
ders an elaborate little dinner. He in well-
dressed, rather good looking fellow, except
that his features, especially his nose, are
somewhat swollen.
I This may possibly be owing to the dreadful
been observed in medical students and others
after some year’s residence in the English
metropolis. Jack had also a restless, wan-
dering eye, and a habit of looking so and
denly over his shoulder at some imaginary
objectasrather to decompose his friend’s
tranquility. He began his dinner with a
glass of Cognac, which Reuben thought was
putting the cart before the horse. As the
rcpast proceeded Jack swallowed a good
deal of wine, and became extremely lively
He recalled to Reuben's memory numerous
college pranks, and imitated the old principal
uncontrollable laughter. The noise of his
mirthattracted :several eyes to their table,
which caused Reuben to blush. Among the
persons who gazed with more than usual
intensity at theniiReuben observed two well-
drcssed gentlemen with high noses and a
profusion of jewelry. They whispered

together, then one of them arose, and ad.
London fogs, as the same appearance has‘
so admirably that Reuben burst into a fit of'
vancing to the table, touched Jack Dorking
slightly on the shoulder. Reuben thought
the stranger must have established contact
with a galvanic battery, for as soon as
Jack had raised his eyes to-seo who touched
him he shuddered and sprang up from the
table.
A few hurried words in a lower tone of
voice passed between Jack and his mysteri-
ous acquaintance, then saying to Reuben:
“I shall be back in half an hour, old fellow,
I must settle this outside," he left the nif-
loon, closely followed by both of his bejew-
ed friends. Reuben stood in silent astonish-
ment—he could not tell what to make of it
—he looked at the waiter and saw him smile
significantly to another waiter, who grinned
in return. The waiter was less obsequlous
than he had been when. he brought the dos-
cert.-
“Nlcc weather, sir, for the time of year,
sir i’"
“Yes,” answered Reuben, “do crop? are
looking well."
“Come from the country, air 2"
“Yes. My first visit to London."
"Oh, indeed, sir. Friend from the country,
air it”
“Him ? no," replied Reuben.
“Called away—very particular business—
just now, air. ?" '
. “I suppose so. I have no idea on what bus-
111685.". ’
“Oh, sir. Coming, sir i” answered the ,
waiter, retiring in obedience to an imaginary
summons from another part of the room.
“I don't like the looks of it he whispered
in confidence to the head Waiter, “he’s either
precious green or preciOnI deep."
When the half-hour had elapsed and Jack
did not return Reuben began to feel exceed-
ingly uncomfortable. The waiter brought
him the bill. This proceeding-seamedto at-
tract tha notice of the other attendants, for.
three or four of them hovered around the
table. Reuben opened the bill‘drcad tho
amount—seventeen shillings and six pence !
“'WaitEr-i” he said,- inia'tremulous voice. “I— '
I—, You can't cx‘pcct‘me to pay this. The

nously closer. , ,

isn’t it ?” appealing to the head waiter.
“That’s the usual thing, sir," the head-waiter
politely explained to Reuben, washing his
hand with an imaginary cake of soap.
Just then one of the jewelled gentlemen en
tcred the dining-saloon, and stalking up to
Reuben, placed a letter in his: hand. , He
opened it, and it read thus:
.MY Dam Fownim : An unforseen accident
arising from the malignity'o‘f a petty tradcse
man, prevents me rejoining you at. dinner.
Will you therefore kindly settle the bill, and
if in recollection of our old happy college
days you could advance are ten pounds, the
bearer of this misaive, Mr. Leviaon, will
take charge of it, and I will repay you on
Monday next. No—I like to be particular
--on Tuesday next; My remittance ‘will then
have reached me. - Your faithful old chum,
JOHN Donxmc.
This letter, which was dated from' a neigh.
boring street, Reuben read with a feeling of
indignation. .“He’s a bad fellow," thought
.he, “claiming assistance on the score of a
college intimacy which never existed.
However, I must buy my knowledge of the
world, I suppose, and the seventeen shillings
six peace is the beginning of my purchases."
Reuben then dismissed Mr. Levison by in-
forming him that there was no reply to the
letter he had brought and proceeded to dis-
charge the bill. ‘ He accordingly thrust his
hand into the breast-pocket -of . his coat.
There was no pocket-book there !" Pale'with
anxiety and flurried with excitement, he
searched pocket after pocket, unavailingly.
In examining his coat he found that a per-
pendicular slit had been made with a sharp
instrument, and the valuable contents ab-
stracted.
“Waiter." at length he said ina broken
voice, “I've been robbed ; I’ve no money but
this," taking from his pocket a six penny
piece and ;somc coppers. “Where is the
owner of this place i” ' '
“I’m the proprietor," said a stout gentle-
man with an authoritative voice.
“Look here, sir!" exclaimed the unfortu-
nate Reuben, “this morning when I left the
steamboat wharf I had £17 103. in my pock-
et—What am I t odo t" ‘ ,
“That’s ,what Irwant to know,” said the
proprietor. “I'can't afford to pay rent and
butchers’ bills and find gentlemen dinners

“I don't know anything about your inten-
tions,” retorted the host. “The proverb says.
'Birds of a feather, etc.,' sndI know you
came here in company with a man who was
arrested for debt as he left the house," ,
“This letter will prove to you," said Reu-
ben, handing Jack Dorking's epistlo to the
landlord, “that the writer considers his a fool
rather than a rogue." ' , ~»
The proprietor read the letter, knitting his
brows, and said, in asoftened voice “Hum;
well, I don't know the whole thing my be a
dodge. Have you no article of value you
can leave ;as security—your watch for in-
stance ?” .
f‘Unfortunately I left my watch to be re-
paired in the country, and I never wear

ing out his hands. ’
“The landlord's brow darkened. He said:
“I‘ve been/victimized” too often this way.
Charles (to Reuben’s waiter.) fetch a police-
man."
Reuben entreated the landload to pause a
few moments while he related his adventur-
es, beginning with a short sketch of his birth
and education to the moment when he found
himself moneylcss and unable to pay for the
dinner. * .
“Well, sir,” said the landlord. “I hardly
know what to say. It's a very unpleasant
predicament for all parties. However, I
won't proceed to extremities. ‘ Charles, take
this gentleman over to Clucking’s hotel, and
see if you can arrange afything there.”

Reuben complied unhesitatingly. although
he found that ,walking arm-in-arm with a
bare-headed waiter in low shoes through the
Strand on a chilly evening in March did ex-
cite ; good deal of comment ; but waiters are
an extraordinary race of beings,with a chron-
ic aversion to bats. » .
They reached-that celebrated hotel of five-
minutes'-v'vslk notority, and asked for Mr.

“Let me look at this gentleman's account.

“Fifty-one and fifty-two," replied Reuben.
“Hum, hum," murmured Mr. Clucking
over the bill, {five and four is nine, and five’s

pound, one, and six. You’ve had a private

“Yes,” said Reuben.
“May I‘ask what baggage you have 7"
“Only a small carpet-bag."
“Then the lady who waswith you remov-
ed all her boxes without discharging the
bill ?" .
“Certainly," said Reuben. “It was never

“Anthony," said Mr. Clucking, in his se-
verest voice, "never let this occur again.

must settle their accounts." ‘
Anthony murmured an humble assent to
this doctrine, and , shafiled away. »
“Well, my dear sir," continued Mr; Cluck-
ing, and relapsing into his former draw],
“as I said before, it's an awkward affair. I
should-telegraph to my friends," he continu-
ed, subsiding into a' chair, and using a tooth
pick. '
' “What friends i" asked Reuben naively.
“Oh! that’s your own affair. I merely
throw out a suggestion.”
“I don't know whom to apply to," ex-
claimed the ilI-st'arrcd curate cissping his
hands. “I wouldn’t have Sir John Rooster

stretching out his hand for the directory.
, “Certainly," said Mr. Clucking: calmly re-
garding‘Reuben from behind his toothpick
with an air of quiet amusement, not unmixed
with keen observation. The fact- was that
Mr. Clucking could not make up his mind
whether Reuben was a real greenhorn or a
rogue simulating simplicity, though his
knowledge of the world inclined‘him to the
former belief. '
“Cocks—Cocks—-Cocks,” muttered Reuben
running his finger down the page devoted to
the tolerably prolific clan of that name. f‘I
have it," he exclaimed in triumph, “Wil-
liam Cocks, M. R. C. 8., Alexis Villas, Bays-
water. Mr. Clucking, if you will advance
the funds necessary to pay for a ooh, I shall.
be able to saith with everybody."
"May lack in return," replied the land-
lord, “for the key of your carpet bag.”
Reuben handed it to him. '
“New, what shall I find in this bag, sir? '
“But stay, Anthony shall examine it."
Anthony returned in a few minutes, and
reported that the bag and its contents, if
pleged at a pawnbrokcr’s, might fetch about
twelve shillings and Iixpence. J
“Take a cab," said Mr. Clucking, “and
you fellow. from what’s his name in the
Strand, go with him." ‘
Mr. Clucking then lit a cigarette and took
up a’novel.
Reuben Fowler and Charles. the waiter,
grew quite communicative in uthe cab, and
the spirits of the former were buoyant at the
prospect of a speedy extrication from his
difficulties. _
His hopes were, however, not destined to
fruition , as inquiries at the doctor's villa dE-'
veloped beyond doubt that he was not the
college friend so anxiously sought. The re-
turn in thq cab was, therefore, performed in
gloomy silence. Reuben was sunk in the
depths of despondcncy; Charles, the waiter,
was sulky with disappointment, As soon as
the cab arrived at the hotel he took Reuben
tightly by the arm and led him into Mr.
Clucking’s private room. _
“Well, what success ?" said that gentleman.
“Reg'lar sell, sir,” said Charles.
“Well, Mr. Fowler," said Mr. Clucking,
“and what do you say i’"
“I can only say," sighed poor Reuben,
“that it was an unlucky mistake. We went
to the wrong Doctor Cocks.”
“And I fear," replied Mr. Clucking, “that
I have got the wrong Mr. Fowler. Now,
sir, this is a serious matter. You run up a
at a restaurant, and then you ha no money,
no references, no anything. An look here,
sir,” said Mr. Clocking, taking up the even-
ing paper and reading aloud:
“We understand that the police are active:
ly engaged in endeavoring to trace the where:
abouts of a person who has lately succeeded
in committing several hotel ‘robberies. The
party suspected is about thirty years of age,
tall, dark complexioned, and frequently ail-i
names the dress and appearance of a member
of the clericalprofession."
“Anthony," shouted Mr. Clucking.
“Sir I" ‘
“Fetch a constable. N ow,.lfr. Fowler, I
dont wish to do anything unpleasant, but I
should prefer a magistrate ndjudicating in-
your case. There, you can read the descrip-
tion in the paper." "
“Hurrah! hurrah i” shouted Reuben, af-
ter glancing at the paper for a, few moments,
"I am saved, my character is sawed.” ‘And
the poor fellow sank into a chair and fairly
blubbcred with excitement. , . ~
“The man’s crazy, I do believe,“ said Mr.
Clocking. “Never mind the, policeman,
Anthony. Hang it, I'll let the “poor. devil

,"I'm not mad!" exclaimed Reuben, recov-
ering from his excitement. “Read this."
Mr. Clucking read among the shipping
news: “Chanticleer. steamer for Hamburg,
fouled her screw in Gravéaend Reach, and

“A great deal," answered Reuben. “My

ments to Monsieur Crcveceur, and if he’s in
the billiard-room, I shall be happy to speak
to him.” '
In a few minutes Anthony returned, usher-
ing in a little gentleman with a closely-cut
beard and mustache attired in a pea-jacket,
and straw but like an Englishman.
"Why, Crevecaur, my dear friend, I herd-
ly recognize you in that rig. I suppose you
are sorry to return to our barbarous island i".
“What also shall I calla- country,” smiled
the Frenchman, “where they have pockets
to their billiard-tables i’" -
Mr, Clucking laughed. He then said,
“Creveceur, what is the name of the Count's
governess f”
“Ah, ah, you naughty man, you Clucking;
you are a married man; you .want to knew;
I shall tell Madame Clucking.” -
i “I want to know seriously. This gchll
man, her brother, ‘is in a difficulty.” .
- “You her brother!” said Crcveceur, with a
profound how. “I salute you as brother to.
the most lovely, enchanting young lady these
eyes have ever seen. ,, Clucking, I must have
a bottle of champagne 1.;Wc will drink to the
health of Miss Leonora Fowler." - .
The’name at once satisfied Mr. Clucking
as to the identity of his unlucky guest. He
paid Charles, the waiter, a... amount of his
master’s bill, witha dancer for himself, find
.the rest Of the evening was passed pleas-
antly enough. ’ .
Count Cochinski was staying with his
suite at Mivart’s hotel. Thither Reuben
proceeded on the following morning. and re.
eye suddenly lighted on" the London direc- ’
bill at a hotel, yqu have an expensive dinner .
ceived a loving embrace from Leonora, into
whose willing car be poured: recital 'of his
sufierings of the previous day. ‘
"You dear old thing," she said, "and it
was all through my dragging you up from
your quiet curacy to naughty London 1 How
forgunately it has happened that that horrid
screw should break when it did. And you
shall not lose the money, for the count will
lend it to-mc." I I i
"The Count 1” '
“Yes, I am sure he will. He is so kind.
Oh, you can’t think how kind he was going
down to Gravcsend. '- If he ‘had been my
husband he could not have been more atten-
tive.” .
"Perhaps he will be one of these days,”
said Reuben, slyly.
“You naughty Ben, to' talk so to a poor.
governess,” said Leonora, blushing scarlet.
“However, I will go and ask .him.for the
money.” .
~In twenty minutes she returned in tri-
umph, with a check for £20 on a London
banker, signed by the count’s secretary, and
countersigned by himself. .
Reuben-'s prophecy came true. ‘ In six
months from that time Leonora became the
Countess Cochinski. When the engagement
'was first made public, Crcveceur felt itideep.
1y. He had conceived an intense though ses-
crct passion for Leonora, , and for several
weeks was so affected as to be unable to per-
form his cuiinary duties. ~' On the eve, of the
marriage however, he said to ,‘himself, stern-.-
ly, “Crevcceur, no weakness," and then and-
denly amusing his gigantic energies which
had slumbered so long, he. achieved such a
series of artistic triumphs’ in cookery that
will be long remembered in the province of
Voigoda.—Phi'ladehihfa Prue.
Big Injun'Lovc Making.
The 2,000 Choctaws still living in their
ancestral home in Mississippi retain in their
pristine vigor many of the usages of their
ancestors, says the Natchez Democrat.
Among these are the methods employed in
conducting a courtship and the marriage.
ceremony. When a young Choctaw of
Kemper or Neshoba county sees a maiden
who pleases his fancy, he watches his'oppor-
tunity until he finds her alone. He then ap-
proaches within a few yards of her and
gently casts a' pebble toward her, go that it
may fall at her feet. 'He may have to do
this three or fork timesbsforehe nttractstho
maiden's attention. If this pebble throwing
otherwise,_.a secrnful look and a decided
“ekwah”indicatc that this suit is in vain. '
When a marriage is agreed upon, the lovers
appoint a time and place for the ceremony.
On the marriage day the friends and rela-
tives of the prOspectivc couples meet at their
respective houses or villages, and thence
march toward each other. When they ar-
rive ncar the marriage ground—generally in-
termediate space between the twovillages—
they halt within about 100 yards of each
other. The brothers of the woman then go
across to the opposite party and bring for-
ward the man and set him down on a blanket
spread upon the marriage ground. The“
man’s sisters then do likewise by going over
andbringing forward the woman and sent-
ing her by the side of the man. Sometimes,
to furnish a little merriment for the occa-
sion, the woman is expected to break loose
and run. Of course she is pursued, cap-
tured and brought back. All parties assem-
ble around the expectant couple. A bag cf
bread is brought forward by :the woman’s
relatives and deposited near her. In like
manner the man's relatives» bring for-
ward a bag of meat and deposit it near him.
The man's friends and relatives now begin
to throw presents upon the head and shoul-
ders of the women. These presents are of
any kind that the donors choose to give, as
artidles of clothing, money, trinkets, rib-
bons, etc. ' As soon as thrown they are
quickly snatched off by the women's rela-
tives and distributod among themselves.
During all this :timc the couple sit very
quietly and demurely, not a word spoken by
either. When all the presents *have been
thrown and distributed the couple, now man
and wife, prise, the provisions from the bags
are spread, and, just as in civilized life the
ceremony isrounded of! with a festival. The
festival over, the company disperse, and the
gallant groom conducts his bride to his heme
where they enter upon the toils and respon-
sibilities of the future.
BEST BAKING POWDER.
Interesting Tests made by the
Government Chemists. ’
Dr. Edward G. Love, the present Analyti-
cal Chemist for the Government, has recently
made some interesting experiments as to the
comparative value of baking powders. Dr.
Love’s tests were made to determine what
brands are the most economical to use, and
as their capacity liesin their lenvening power,
tests were directed~solely to ascertain the
Ivailable gas of each powder. Dr. Love’s
report gives the followmg:

stock, Conn. the following poems were read:
Voices From the Past.
BY RICHARD H. STODDARD.
l.
Beneath the blue arch of this perfect sky,
We gather on the Nation’s Holiday,
And, while the rosy hours are going by,
We ponder what they bring and take away;
Mirth, music, and the little ones at play
Upon the dappled shadows of the trees.
Laugh on, light hearts! ' But we, whose
heads are gray,
Though we may smile, have graver memories
Than can have crossed your minds in these
bright days of Peace.
' 11.
Out of the travail of two hundred years
Rose this our Commonweal. Its growth was
slow;
Our fathers sowed the seed with hopes and
fears, ‘ '
And poured out their best blood to make it
grow. ' -
. Beset with peril from the savage foe,
They went about their work prepared to
_ . die,
For where the peril was they could notknow
, Until its arrowsliurtlcd suddenly by,
' Or the smoke of their burning lio'mes went
darkly up the sky !
III.
3 The punishment they meted out was stern;
The sight of women and of children slain,
The thought of captives that would not re-
turn, '
Hardened their breaking hearts to slay again.
One text the tenderest never read in vain:
“Vengeance is mine!" Another they read
less: '
“Father, forgive them 1" But one thing was
plain— .
That God was with them in their'sore dis-
tress, .
And answered their strong prayers in the vast
wilderness.
‘. iv. ‘
They builded churches where today they
stand;
Rude meeting-houses rose up everywhere,
. ' For all the people lent a h'elping hand,
on the wrapper the red z Trade Mark, and my ,
And when the Sabbath bell summoned to
prayer, .
The worldliest put away their week-day care
And flocked for miles around to bear the
Word. ' ,
And liillii-r Came a man with snowy hair, '
Whose pilemis'heait “as for the Indians
stirred. , 0
He preached, and they believed the holy
things they heard.
V'.
And thither, when the storm of war bud
burst .
Between the Mother Country and her sons,
Comes he wliuin History proclaims the first
In war and peace ; the fiery rumor runs,
The farmers quit their ploughs,.and snatch -
their guns, 0
To follow him through victory and defeat;
The red-coat rabble, led by-iiiled ones,
Goes down before them like the swaths of
wheat.
Fierce is the summer sun,
and sharp the win-
ter’s sleet! ‘ '
» v1.
These were the men—nut m'rn, but higher
‘ powers— .
Whose nardy sinews stiffening into'sieel.
Grappling with the Old World, made the
New World ours,
The sure foundation of the Commonweal!
When we forget them, when we cease to feel
Their greatness and their glory, we are lost.
Silence the bells! 0r ring a funeral pea]-
Wc are no longer worth the blood we cost;
Better our fathers had sunk in the wild waves
. they crossed! '
VIII
Voices like these upon this peaceful day
Come like an echo from the troubled Past;
And other voices, not so far away,
And other eyes upon the Future cast,
Command us to be watchful, and hold fast
The ancient freedom of our winds and waves
And of our fathers' spirits; lest, at last,
We heap dishonor on our fathers’ graves,
And curse our children with the heritage of
' slaves! .
The following hitherto unpublished lines
by the late Henry W. Longfellow were read.
They were translated from Schillcr’s “Co-
lumbus" for Charles Sumner:

The Immortality of Love:
nr ADELAIDE mu rxoorsii.

We must not doubt, or fear, or' dread, that
‘ love for life is only given, .
And that the calm and sainted dead will meet
estranged and cold in heaven :.
0h, love. were poor and vain indeed,
Based on so harsh and stern a creed .! -
True that this earth may pass away. with all
the starry worlds of light, . .
With all the glory cf the day, and calmer
tenderness of night; -
.For in that radiant home can shine
Alone the immortal and divine.
Earth’s lower things—her pride,her fame,hcr ~
science, learning, wealth and power—
Siow growths that through long ages came,
or fruits of sdmc convulsive hour, '
Whose very memory must’decay—
Henven is too pure for such as they.
They are complete: their work is done. So
let them sleep in endless rest,
Love’s life is only here begun, nor in, nor can
be fully blast;
It has no room to spread its wings
Amid this crowd of meaner things.
Just for the very shadow thrown upon its
sweetness here' below, ‘
The cross that it must bear alone, and bloody
baptism of woe, .
Crowned and completed through its p iin
We know that it shall rise again.
One of the principal objects of interest at
the approaching coronal ion of the. Czar will
.be the carriage of the Czarina, which is the
same that was presented by Frederick the
Great to the Empress Elizabeth. It is a sort
of double throne upon wheels, and is hung
not upon springs, but upon huge bands of
velvet, Within, it is upholstered with red
velvet, and has a large mirror in front facing
the occupant, framed will: white satin. The

It is drawn by eight hum-s of pun-st white,
wearing harnesses of ciimson velvet encrust-
ed with gold and preci. us stance. "The cost
of furnishing up the twenty‘three vehicles of
Which the cortege is to consist-has amounted
to 230,000 rubles, or $172,500. ,
