ill-s. Leslie was sealtd in her handsome
apartments in the Vlcturin hotel, and the
manly-looking foreigner at her side was
the Marquis de Leuvllle, the gentleman
who has had the good fortune to Win her
heart and the promise of her hand.
It was nearly three years ago that Mrs.
Leslie and the marquis first met, and the
manner of their meeting and subsequent
bell-oi ital is as interesting as itjs romantic.
The Marquis deLeuvillc had come to this
country to enlarge the scope of his literary
and scientlfic studies. One day while in
this city be started out to call upon a
friend. As he was about to ascend the
5100;) at' his friend's house a carriage
dashed up to theraame house.
“l‘he door flew openf'and the prettiest
‘iitlle foot I had ever seen in my life
placed daiutiiy on the carriage step, and
the next instant the most cbarmingliitls
being eyes ever rested on prang out, all
done up in crape,” said the marquis in
describing the meeting to a friend. “We
both stood ontbe steps a moment before
the door was opened,” he continued, “and
I caught a glimpse of two beautiful eyes
almost hidden by n bigcrape veil. We
went. into theparlor. I was soinfatuatgu
at first sight that I-walkcd up and down
the room with the utmost impatience
until our mutual friend came down and
introduced us. I really don't. know
whether it was that dainty, little foot or
the large dreamy eyes that first captivated
me.”
After their introduction. the marquis
paid the most'devoted attention to Mrs
Leslie, but shown: so deeply immersed
in the cares of insiness at that time, and
so earnestly engaged in extricating the
enormous businesslbat had been left to
her charge from an almost helpless tangle,
that she had little time to think of multi-
mony. ,
One evening a theatre party was enjoy-
ing a play at. an up town theatre, and
among them were Mrs. Leslie and the
Marquis de Leuvllle. Mrs. Leslie being
in the deepest mourning, preferred to sit
. in the back part of the box, and the mar-
. quis, as usual, occupied a seat close at
her side. When they got up to go Mrs.
Leslie drew off icr glove, and in doing so
drew her wedding ring off with it, and it
fell to lhe floor.~ A hunt was immediately
begun for it, but the marquis slipping
gallantly up to the. anxious little lady
while the others were busy bunting,
slipped his family-crested ring from his
finger and gently put it on in the place of
the missing circle, and leaning over softly
whlspered to her to wear that asawedding
ring in the placeof the one she had lost. ‘
Mrs, Leslie, however, would'not. at. tilal .
lime entertain the idea of matrimony uno
til she had vindicated her late husband‘s
honor by placing his enormous business
upon a firm financial footing. Over ‘a
year ago she achieved this victory, and
her success has placed her to day among
the wealthiest asvwsll as the best known ,
business ladies of the world.
Abou: a year ago Mrs. Leslicwsa lying
almost at the point of death, and» the
chlvalrous marquis, on hearing of it.
hastened to her bedside, and by every
little attention canoeivabie endeavored to
soothe her bed of slckness. Still the little
lady 's heart was not altogether won, and
it was only when the Marquis de Leuville‘
came to this country for a third time two
weeks ago and pressed anew his suit that
she finally consented to become his wife.
Mrs. Frank Leslie is one of the most
remarkable women living. She possesses
far more business sagacity and astuteness
than most men, and at the same time she
combines with it. the delicate refinement
which the bighesr culture alone can give.
' Her literary attainments alone wouldbave
won for her an enviable reputation had
she not become renowned for her business
ability. In personalappearancc she is a
most charming little lady. Beautiful
blucgrey eyes peep out from- between
long dark lashes, and sparkle as quickly
in the appreciation of pleusantry as they
soften at the touch of a tender sentiment.
Ber long, slender, aristocraticiooking
hand is of the kind artists, rave over,
while the pretty, little. gracefullyrurthed
foot that pears from beneath her dress
may well excite the envy of school girls
in theirzteens.
When lift.~‘.Frsnk:L.-silc was. about to. ,
die be called'.Mrs. Leslie to his bedside
and said to her: “Go to my. oflce and
sit at my desk until my debts are all
paid." The weeping wife gave her
solemn promise to the dying man to fulfil
his wish. That was five years ago.
Immediately after the funeral she took
her seat at her late husband's place, and
today the mammoth publtshing house
that still bears his name is free from debt.
‘ Both Mrs. Leslie and Marquis de
Leuvdle are extraordinary linguists, and
speak several languages, besides their
native tongues with remarkable ease and
grace. Marquis de Leuviliesays that
Mrs Leslie is the first lady who ever cap-
tured his heart on this side of the Atlantic.
He never before proposed to an American
girl.
‘ The Marquis de Leuviile is a handsome,
manly looking fellow, fully six feet in
height. He is an adopt in all the manly
sports, as well as a famed writer, painter,
and a descendant of one of the oldest
families in Europe. With. his pistol at
' twenty paces be can shoot. his initials in a,
board as easily as hiadeft brush can paint

A book of his poems entitled “Eutlc

.lhnissnouah Dusters.
“l’m‘ a-dueter," said ,a young woman
whom a New York. reporter met in a
duster. I’m not the only one. It's a
regular profession, dusting is, nowadays.
The parlors of the not: have grown to. be
so many museums of delicate and costly
ornaments. \To dust. and arrange collec-
tions every day would too sev'erly tax the
strength of the wealthy ladies. To set
the. servants at thework was found to he
had management. notxbccausc. they were
bungling and liable-to smash} the delicate
fabrics. but bccauacthc servants have no
time to spare from. their other duties.
Therefore the mistress empldys competent
women to keep their. parlors in order.
The dusting business is an- established in-
dustry, but. it is confined -to the metropo-
lis, and almost entirely to the region of
brownstone fronts. All the dusters I
know of are women who have seen better
days, but of course, it isn’t every educated
and refined woman who can make‘a good
duster." . ,
. “What arcthc requirements?" "Sh
must be light footed, quick and strong in
her wrists and a’rms. To visit a dozen
houses in the forenoon before callers
arrive and dust and arrange .tbings is no
child’s play. A woman must fairly lump
at her work. The remuneration? Well,
a dollar or seventy-five cents a visit. At
some houses where the hostess entertains
a good many guests the rooms are arranged
every day. Orders are given to the dos-
ters to change the arrangement of the
appointments every time they come.
Then, again, a duster must know how to
lake hold’of every sort of knick-knack
and how to move it safely. She must
know just what sort of brush to use for
every sort of dusting. The brush that
will not break a filmy tissue of glass is
useless on a piece of furniture and would
not reach the ceiling corners. She must
have several brushes, and she must not be
careless or slapdash foran. instant. There
are few bits of bric about in these parlors
that I could replace with six months'
earnings."

Catching the Speaker's Eye.
Much depends on ca‘clliug me Sprnkcts
eye, miles a Washinglou correspondent.
It looks as though it would be. easy for any
member to attract the attention of the
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
and that the {Speaker would have no
difficulty in recognizing a member. par-
ticularly if he stood directly before
him, shouting loud enough to he heard
in any quarter of the chamber and
gestlculating as though he was trying to
stop an express train. ~ Strange as it may
appear, a membcriu a terrible part of the
House with a feeble voice sometimes
catches the Speakers eye, notwithstand—
ing a dozen others near the. speaker are
shouting and gesticulating wildly. and
doing their utmost to attract .bis atten'
tion. The recognition is ustially made
under an agreement with the Speaker,
made, perhaps, days before. The favored
member has a bill in awhichrtherq'may
be millions or not: but . reasons there are
why he shall have __ the floor, at a
particular time. He asks, especially in
the closing hours of the session, for~
unanimous consent to call up thobill and
put it on its final passage} Amid the rush
and rumpus members are generally will-

At the close-of the last session of
Congress the promoters of the Whisky
bill hadlhus al'l'anged‘lor its passage.
All-was confusion. It had been arranged
that Speaker Keifer should recognize
Proctor Knoll, out: of a hundred seeking
to catch his eye. But Representative
John White was on watch for the game.
He caught the Speaker's car at the right
moment, and interposed the fatal objec-
tion. The game and the bill fai‘ed.
'l‘llcgame depending on catching the
Speaker's eye fails. sometimes. because
some member is watchful and adroit
enough to catch‘ his car at the right in-
stant with an objection. Mr. Holman
has performed many feats of the kind,
and done the country great service.
Though more extensively practised
than formerly, the prearrangcment plan
for putting bills through is not wholly
new. A gentlemhn familiar with legisla-
tion by Congress forty years ago relates
an interesting" incident. It was near the
close of the :ssssion. The House of
Representatives, sitting in the old hall,
was, as usual, in confusion. Members in
scores were trying to catch the Speaker‘s
eye for the benefit of favorite bills.
Every one 'was ’trying his best, and
nothing was being done. Our veteran re-
collector, who had the privilege of the
fioor, met in the corridor an outsider
deeply concernedfor the passage of a
bill for which he had labored the entire.
session. It had passed the Senate, was not
as be believed. “I Will give you Sh
much," naming a round sum. even for
these days, "If you will get my bill up,”
he said.
The gentleman addressed returned to
the House, where the confusion was
momentarily deepening. Seemingly every
member was on the floor trying to‘ catch
the Speaker's eye. "Had I," said a
member of prominence, “a bill for which
[cared enough to make the attempt, I
would get the Speaker to recognize me.”
“Wait a moment and you shall be
gratified,” -
"The outsider’s bill was produced and
piacsdiu the band of the eye-catching
member, “Mr. Speaker!" was heard from
his quarter. '
“The-gentleman from Blank," was till!
immediate response. '
“I ask unanimous consent that the bill
numbered blank be put on its passage. It
is a worthy bill. We'ought to pass it."
'tThere,,being no objection the motion is
flcarried," said the Speaker. “The Clerk
, will call the yells and na'ys."
The rulcgwere a little different from
what theymrc now. The roll was called
and-the billpassed. Going outside, the
promoter-met his anxious friend, who_
was wholly ignorant of what had been
going on. “Your bill is through and the
work is done."
"‘Mect me at Coreorau «is Riggs’s
banking house tomorrow morning at 10
o’clock and i. will give you the promised
fee."
The summons was kept and the money
paid. 4
After Congressadjourned the promoter,
meeting the eyematching member, said:
“How did it happen that you caught the
Speaker's eye when so many others were.
vainly trying 1’”
“I had arranged for it days before, but
the intended business having been in-
trusted to another, who was then tfying
to have the Speaker recognize him, and
failing every time. I just WlSIlII had a
chance to show those who took the
businesufrom my hands what a mistake
they had made, but I had no bill to do it
with. If I did you any good I am glad.
You must have an. understanding with

heroic story of forty-five years ago was
in the minds of \thc iookerson. It is only
the sln‘tplestbry of an English peasant girl
of three-and twenty, who had lived for
twelve years with hcrparcnts on the lone-
ly L‘odgstone Island, and who, after that
night of tempest, persuaded her father,
across a mile of stormy sea, to the danger-

Another Story of President Lincoln. 3 '
New York Times : J uat afteqthe pub—
lication of Secretary Chase's exceedingly
able Treasury report in 1863, and when
the Secretary was known to have the
~Prcsidential bee buzzing in his bonnet,~a
,zealous friend of the President went to
him (Lincoln) with a suggestion that Mr.
Chase should be lookcd'after; he was
using his power as Secretary of the Troas-_
ury to further his own ambitious schemes.
Lincoln laughed shrewdly and brought
out the inevitable story of which be was
reminded. An Illinois farmer, tilling a
few acres of land and employing only one
poor old horse, was plowing one day,
while his son regarded the operation from
the nearest fence. Suddenly the oid,sp:ril-
less horse pricked up his ears and start
ed briskly onward in the furrow,almost
dragging the old man at the plow-tail
around the land. The lad surveyed the
unusual sight from the fence, the old
men having hard work to keep up as the
horse went flying around, and then he
cried out : “Say, dad, why don’t you
brusll off that gad-fiy on old .Dobbin'a
back ?" As he flew past the old man rc-
plied: "I never saw Dobbin do so well
before. Let the gad fly be." How Lin-
coln made the application any man can
tell. And if there are any high officials
so troubled with the Presidential god-fly
that they are doing unusually well, it
were a pity to disturb them now.

It is claimed by our most experienced

There is quite a difference between the
common turkey and the large bronze
variety. Young goublers of a year's
growth of the bronze have been known
to . weigh fort y pounds, and pairs of
bronze turkeys, of longer growth, often
weigh three times as much can pair of
the common stock. ‘
The Lombard plum is said tobecur-
culio proof ; but this is due to its produc-
livencss, as the tree overbears and ripens
a portion of its fruit, despite the destruc-
tion by the insects. The habit of over.
production causes it to die sooner’thnn'

be greatly assisted to extend the bearing
period by manuring and care. ‘ '
Many a man has had his pork fall to
keep properly becau-c it was sailed in a'
frozen condition, will not properly assim-
ilate with salt, and cannot be depended
on to keep in hot weather. A moment's
reflection will make this scent animus-
ble that one will wonder why he‘ulu not
think of it before. 1‘ '
' Mr. Stewart, a member of the Wat-art
(Iii.) Horticultural society, is said to hpvb
raised an annual crop of apples for fift'één'
consecutive years—a pleasing fact due in
some measure, he ,thinks, to his manage-
ment. IIe cultivates so as to make the
tree grow as rapidly as possible until the
bearing age, after which he cultivates but
little, but keeps the and down by mulch-

Horatio Seymour has recently. written a
letter warmly encouraging the planting
'of cherry for lumber uses. It makes a
rapid, straight growth, and its wood is
likely to be‘ more and more valuable, as it
is capable of high polish. Mr. Seymour
has one fine old tree of this variety shad-
ing his house which has grown up within

money for i‘own sake, but for the good ‘
the last forty years, and he has many
other from planted in various placeson
his farm.
The Agricultural Epitomz‘s says: “So
son It as the manureis entirely cleaned out
of q to barnyard the bottom should be cov-
ered \ ,vitb straw or other refuse. material,
to abso. Yb the liquid excrement tlldi would
otherwis v be wasted. Muck, wiferc it
can be 8,3,5 ‘1ch without carrying too far, is
excellent 1" \r this purpose. But it must
be remember ‘ed that the last loads in the
barnyard are much more valuable than.
the first." l
The farmer she Vld keep CHOUgh 3001‘

produce that is rai. 9d 0’3 the farm, 88 by
so doing he will glaucoma get a better
price for what. he rt‘l'fles. sud it Will be

should. guard .well againAt over stocking,
which is a prominent tank with those far-
mers who «stimato their ’profits by the,
number of cows and hogs they have,
without regard to the condition they are
in.» , V _ '-
A’hog sweats,'_n0t like a horse or man,
but through his fore legs, just below the
knec,in the form of a sieve. Through this
the sweat passes off, and it is necessary
that this be kept open. .If it gets closed,
as is sometimes the case, the hog will get
sick. To cure him, simply open the
pores. This is done by rubbing and
washing with warm water. There is not
much danger, however, of a healthy hog
ever being troubled futilisway. Once in
a willie it will occur in the best regulated
hog pens.
It is a rare thing to find cooked food in
the mangers of horses in this Country,
\ ' ,
- and yet it is used liberally beyond the
Atlantic. The late Mr. Mechi, of En-
gland, was ill the habit of steaming
nearly all the straw for his animals, horses
included. Professor Dick recommends for
general adoption in manger feeding the
practice of cooking food for horses, on
the ground that by aiding the organs of
digestion much exertion is saved to the
system, a result which is likewise attained
by the bruising of nuts and beans and
cutting of hay and straw.
' An experienced breeder of farm horses
gives as his opinion than the best animal
for the farm is that produced by crossing
the thoroughbred (the running horse) on
large, coarse mares. .If the mares are
partly Norman 0; Clydesdale, soimucb
the better , but the use of the thoroughbred
insures stamina. endurance, and vigor.
The small but hard bones of the thorough-
bred are heavily covered with muscle,
and the horses of that blend are famous
for speed, .couragc,.litnd power. The
cross produces a horse very similar to the
Cleve-lands, and such horses are not only
well adapted for nearly all purposes on
the farm, but do not fail till well advanced
in years. ‘
All young fruit trees, says thelcoumry
Gentleman, which do uotimake a growth
of two feet for the longest shoots in a.
season need additionalst‘imulating with
manure if theground is clean and well
cultivated, or if thcystsnd'in grass or
happen to be encumbered with weeds
good mellow cultivation must begiven
them. This is the rule for young trees,
and the best time if manure is=applied is
late in autumn or during the! winter, the
earlier the better. But manure appears
to do the most good on hearing trees,
esp :ciniiy apple trees, often good annual
crops where poor and biennial crops were
given before. Bearing trees need not
grow so rapidly as young trees, but if
they do‘ not make annual shots at least a
, "foot long they» need more manure or both
manure and cultivation. The manure
may be spread broadcast in winlér, cover-
ing the whole surface. '
Some people recommend plantingstraw.

September and October; each practice
has its adherents, and while they are set-
tling which is best we will prepare our
ground by deep trenching and a liberal
dressing from the compost he tr, and then
we will tellthcnr that the best Lula for
planting the strawberry. is as social y -u
