The Coquette.
Kate Linden was the prettiest creature
1h the world. ,
One evening I introduced my brother
to her—a young, fresh-hearted, hand-
some boy—and, Without delay, be pro-
ceeded to fall 'in love with her. She
danced with him twice; and gave him
her fan and bouquet to hold half the
' c1- suing.
Poor Albert! How pleased he looked!
I was pleased, too. Instead of warning
him against the indulgence of danger-
ous dreams, I encouraged his wild fan-
.tllt‘fi.
11111131111 hold to his lips? ’
At: the end of a week he was as far gone
11:1 it was possible for a young man to be.
Him ,could make him blush, sigh, pale,
tremble at the sound of her voice, or the
lightest. wave of hethand- At the end
of two weeks he hadreached the, point,
when it is said of youngsters in love,
"She can wind him round her. little
ti11;zc1';" and at the close of the third
wool: there must have been a scene.
Passing through the hall, I met Kate,
:1 little flushed, and looking, I thought, :1“
little cxultant. She nodded gully, and
11111 upstairs towards her room. Two
minutes later, Albert came out of,tl1e
library, with a cold. dead expression on
his white face. He passed me without
sunning to see me, and left the house.
Days passed, and I never saw Albert
except at meal times. But I could see
how terribly changed he was.
He frequently rode over of an evening
to call on my pretty friend, and I ob-
served that it was always in returning
from those visits that his eyes burned so
strangely and his face was so hotly
flushed. .
One night he remained out very late,
and Ibegan to get alarmed. As I had
been his self-constituted guardian since
Iwe were left orphans, I remained up for
him. Hour followed hour, wearily.
wearily! I tried to beguile the time
with a book, but if; was dreary work!
At last, about two in the morning, I
heard a click of the front door lock. He
1111s letting himself in with his latch-
key. I hurried down into the hall, and
turned on the gas full blaze. I had
never seen him look so wildly. I sprung
towards him, but he'stcggcred away from
me, and said, huskily, “Go away, Liz—
zie ; I’m-not fit company for you."
Great Heaven ! he was drunk! Albert
——my brother—whom I had thought an
angel among men! The sight before
rue—Albert, my brother, flushcdgstng-
gering, maudlin, and smelling of alco-
hol—was so tepellaut that I sickened
with disgust.
He observed that I recailed from him,
drunk though he was, and with an hys-
terical lapgh he said, “Oh, yes—I'm a
beast, I suppose. I feel like one! You
see, I can't keep away from her, Jane,
though she don’t love me, and .I try to.
hate her. So, when I leave her, I feel
so miserable, I have no resource but to
drown my sorrows in the “ flowing
bowl !” Oh— .
' The toast be dear woman. 1' " _
He made a poor attempt to carry it
off boldly, and staggered past me up.
stairs. I went to my own room, locked
myself in, and cried for one good hour.
That very morning I spoke to him. I
entreated him to overcome his passion
for Kate, ,if it was hopeless. He listened
to me stonily, till I ceased speaking;
then answered, with a short, dry laugh,-
“ I can never cease to love that woman— =
I am not one of that sort. She either
makes a. man of me, or ruins me utterly.
I will ask her once again 'which she
means to do. ’2
"What does she say to you at present -
on the subject ?"
“ Simply that she can’t love me.
no more.”
He caught up his hat, and hurriedly
11ent'out.
“Simply that she can’t love him!” I
thought. And yet I have seen her bend
such looks upon him as bore a. far differ-
'cnt interpretation than the assurance
contained in these words. I knew herto
be a coquette, and full of conquest»; but
I could not believe her so heartless as to
lead that boy—the brother of the friend
whom she professed to love so dearly——
on to worshiping her as he did, from the
mere thirst for victims -
I would not believe it. She was but
trying him. Beneath all, she loved him.
And why not? Nothing so wonderful if
she did. He was well worthy the love of
any woman, or had been when she took
himinhaud. Ifshchad made him less
so, let her blame 111111 own work, and to.
pair the mischief she had wrought.
Thus thinking, I was well pleased
when Katie arrived the next day; and
after scolding me for not. keeping my
”solemn promise," announced that she
had come to pay me a long visit.
I argued from this that she repented
of her treatafient of Albert, and took this
means of showing it. Poor boy i He
thought so, too. And with good reason.
'What a dancSShc led him ! How divine-
ly she smiled, and how sweetly she lured
him on! Ah, she was a rare coquette
was Kate Linden!
Her visit had lasted about a week. It
was evident to my watchful eyes that
Albert would soon ask her what she
meant to .do with him.
One night they were together, walking
out' in the garden. I could see her, in
the white moonlight, smiling up in his
face and leaning on lye arm. The win-
dow opening on the garden was raised,
and I was sitting in the shadow of the
curtains. So, occasionally, astheypassed
and repassed, I could hear low, whisper-
cd words. By-and- -by they stopped right
under the window. I didn't move.
though I know I could hear every word
that passed. I considered that I had a
right to hear.
“Kate, there must be an end to this,"
I heard him say.
“An end to what ‘1’” she returned.
.“Don’t afi‘ect innocence, Katie. You
are maddening enough now. Don’t pre-
tend not to understand me. You know I
.111.
How was I to know it was a Circo's
.love you! Are you still indiffefiant to
me? Will you still tell me, with that
divine smile—with those low, sweet
tones, ‘Albert, my friend, I can never,
never love you ?’ "
“My dear boy, don’t be a gooch Of
course, I can never love you 1"
“Good !" He laughed bitterk. “ Any-
thing for a change. I think I like your
impatience better than your pitying ten-
deruess."
He looked at. her for a second or two
with an expression I wOuIdn't like to call
out on any man's we. Then he said to
_ himself, “After all, it's scarcely worth
while; but itis too late to think of that
now. Good night, Miss Linden."
He turned away, and left her standing
there, looking wondering after him.
She was puzzled. She knew he loved
her-to madness. Such dread despair—
she wasn't used to that sort of thing.
People usually upraided, tore their hair,
called her'coquettc, and so forth. 'All
that she rather liked. - But this love was
evidently beyond her depth.
I don’t know how long she stood there,
for I rose and went to my room. When
shp came to say good night, I pretended
to be asleep and took no notice of her.
And yet I had loved that woman like a
sister !
After a while, when I was sure she was
quietly sleeping and dreaming, I went on,
tiptoe to Albert’s room. His door was
unlocked, so I went straight to him and
put my arms about his neck. He looked
at. me quietly enough, but I couldn't
bear to see his face-so white, so stony
calm, so terribly dcspfiring. I hate
women—I hate beauty—I hate—0h!
my brain is on fire when I think of the
ruin she made of that dear simple boy. I
tried to comfort him, but my words
seemed mockery.
“Dear Albert,” I said, .“ I know it all.
I was witness of the scene in the gar-
den. 'f D

hair. He said, “Don't cry, Jane, dear.
It’s not worth while. All there is of life
is 11111111111111.1511 to those yvho live long
enough to flu it out. You are ten years
older than I, dear, but I’ve found it out
first. Good night, sister; go to bed."
There was that in his manner I didn’t
care to resist; and I felt that further
words would be’utterly useless. I rose
and left the room. At the door he kissed
me again; and I think a sigh fluttered
up between his lips.
Breakfasp was over, and no Albert. I
was barely civil to Katie. She; remarked
on his abscence, and wondered if any-
thing was the matter, to‘which I made no
reply.
As the morning advanced, and he Was
still absent, I thought I would go up to
his room. Perhaps his mood had changed
and he would be glad to see me now. I
knocked gently at his door, but got no
upswer. I tn'ed whether it was locked;
it was not, and I entered noiselessly.
How quiet every thing was! How still
Albert lay! He was asleep, then; and I
advanced towards the bed on tiptoe ; lost
I might wake him. The worst must have
passed, I thought, since he now slept so
soundly. He was turned a little from
me, so I bent over him, and looked .down
at
011, Heaven! What I saw then will
never leave my eyes. Huston, oh, has-
ten, inpity's name, to paint in fewest
words that horror !
There he lay-white, cold, dead! a
single deep gash' 1n the side of his throat.
Albert—my brother, my pet!
I knew, without an instant for rcfiec.
tion. that he had died so for love of the
girl down stairs in the breakfast room. I
don’t know how, but there I was, con-
fronting her—glaring at her with wild,
mad eyes, but speaking quietly.
“ Katie, Albert’s dccd~murdered l"
“Murdered! Arc youmad, Jane?"
, “.Yes ; because what I tell you is true.
Come and see him—he killed himself for
you t”
I saw her turn pale and tremble. There
must have been something frightful in
my face, for I saw in hers as much fear
and dread as it was) capable of express-
mg.
“ Come and see him, Katie—come !"
“ Heaven forbid! I wouldn’t see him
for all the world!" .
Oh, how I hated her then. I felt as if
it would be a luxury to rend her all in
pii‘ces, as a just sacrifice to my misery.
I caught her by the arm—my grasp
must have been like steel—and drew her.
along towards the front door. I pushed
her out, and locked and bolted the door.
Another moment, and I was up in her
room, hurling down out of the window
everything that was hers.
I didn’t look out. I never saw her
since.
“ Albert l—myown Albert 1"
The shriek that bore those frenzied
words from’my, lips brought all the ser-
vants, to find me thrown across-the dead
body of my brother, wildly kissing his
pallid brow and checks, shuddering and
shrieking with horror when I looked on
that-fearful wound.
It was for causing that scene—that mis-
ery, that crime—that my love and admir-
1111011 for Katie Linden changed to hate
and loathing.
FEMALE THUMBS.
———
The female thumb 18 said to be an im-
portant index to the female character.
Women with large thumbs are held by
phrcnologist, physiogcnonists, etc, to be
more than ordinarily intelligent—what
are called sensible women; while women
with small thumbs are regarded as ro-
mantic. According to certain authors,
who profess to have been observers, a
woman's hand is more indicative of a
‘ woman's character than her face, as the
latter is to a certain extent, under the
control of temporary emotions, or of the
will, whereas the former is a fact which
exists for any one who understands it to
profit by. Women with square hands
and small thumbs are said to make good
house-wives and gentle wives. This sort
of women will make any man happy who
is fortunate enough to win them. They
are not at all romantic, but they are
what is better, thoroughly domestic.
Women with long thumbs have tempers
of their own, and generally a long
tongue. '
There is a hint in this to clover. Let
him, the first time he seizes hold of his
mistress’ hand, examine, under some
pretext or another, her thumb, and if be
large, let him make up his mind as soon
as he becomes a married man, he will
have to be very careful. Again if a
y oung man finds that his lady love has a
large palm, with one~lihaped fingers and
a small thumb, let him thank his stars—-
for In that case, she is susceptible to ten
deruess, easily flattered, Very easily
talked into or out of anything, and
readily managed. But if she 18 a woman
with a square hand, well-proportioned
and only a tolerably developed thumb,
then she is either one of two distinct
classes of women—a practical female who
will stand no nonsense. or she is a design-
ing female—a woman who cannot be
duped, or a woman who will dupe him.

GERMAN comma.
The difference between the English
and the Germans in their respective
colonial successes is so remarkable as
often to have attracted attentidn with-
out perhaps causing much investigation
of the causes which have led to this dif-
ference. The English nation has found-
ed colonies all over the world; these
colonies have been successful; have in-
creased thc numbers of their inhabitants
not only by emigration from England
but by attracting the enterprising and
the discontented from every part of the
world, and have remained stanch in their
adherence to the mother country, with
but one notable exception, that of the
United States, the people of which were
firm in their allegiance and prompt in
their duties as British subjects until
fairly driven away by the persecutions of
a tyranical Ministry.
The Germans, on the other hand, while
they have sent out more emigrants in
proportion to their population than any
other nation in Europe, having had few
colonies, and have, therefore, seen their
people scattered among other nationali-
ties, gradually losing all these character-
istics that made them peculiarly Ger-
man. The reason of this cannot be a
lack of love for their native country, for
the Germans have more of this than any
other nation on the globe. A representa-
tive German lately suggested what is
probably the true explanation. For ages
the territory of Germany has been divid-
ed into petty States, 30 or 40 in number,
the peoplb of each having their own
customs, speaking their own dialect.
having strong local attachments and
marked pride of race, but acknowledg-
ing no general head to which they could '
all claim allegiance, and, consequently,
having none of that proud national feel-
ing which so characterizes the English.
The result has been that when Germans
went abroad they went not as Germans
but as prospective citizens of the coun-
try in which they intended to reside,
and soon, of course, lost their identity as.
G'eimans.
This was the case down to the resur-

and from that time to the present there

about many good results. Whether the
foundation of colonies, into which the
overflow of Germany's 45,000,000 of pop-
ulation can be poured, will be one of the
consequences of the empire is yet too
early for conjecture, for a colony-found-
ing nation must be strong at sea, and
Germany’s naval forcelis not great, but

together for a hundred years extensive

coxfiifif‘fidfi‘mfifina
It is a matter of universal comment
with travellers tha country road making
in the United States is either a lost art or
a to-be-ucquired science. The average
selectman or road agent of a country
town is usuallydeplorably ignorant of
the first principles of making a good
road. In England and most of its de-
pendencies the roads are made-directly
by the state or under its supervision.
As a result, the contth between Eng-
lish roads and those of this country is
much in favor of the former. A common
and natural mistake of most towns in
this country is that an intelligent farmer
must necessarily know how to make a
good road, but the reverse is the fact.
Road making is a subject requiring
study and a knowledge of the nature of
soils. A well made road even in our
climate and with the wide difl'erencc in
soil ingredients, will last for years,
whereas ordinarily' the items of repaint
on our roads means an entirely changed
thoroughfare, the pitch, watersheds and
general character being more in the way
of experiment than a scientific renova-
The country road maker com-
mences by throwing out the big stones
on to the side of the road, retaining the
smaller Ones, when by thoroughly bed-
ding the big stones the best possible
foundation is had, and with a covering
of small stones mixed 'with gravel, or
even withgood loam carefully borrowed
and scraped, a road bed is formed which
will defy both rain and heavy team's.
Generally the tyre devotes his time to
heaping the material in the centre with
such a slope as often to interfere with
locomotion, and which heap the first
heavy team resolves into deep rats, viti-
ating its usefulness for any but a simi-
lurly heavy team, and for it only with
constantly increasing strain on the
horses. Yankee ingenuity has invented
capital road making tools which need’
but intelligent application to develop
such thoroughfares as would make them
admired in place of being a reproach
and shame. Our country is rich enough
to place the roads in the hands of such
government as will insure their perfec-
tion instead of leaving them to town
officials without the education or experi-
ence necessary to an accomplishment of
the object.
BIG DOSES.
The Southern negro does not take
kindly to pellets of the homebpathist.
He behaves in the largest doses of the
old~school practice, and will toss off a
tumblerful or pastor-oil with a smack of
' his lips. Even a glass of salts and scans
will be swallowed with gusto, while a
bolus is taken without a moment's hesi-
tation. An Englishman, who hunted in
the Soudan, says that nothing gives an
African savage greater pleaflre than a
good does of medicine. He found his
medicine-chest more useful in making
the negrces friendly than his revolver
and breech-loading rifle.
But the medicine must be strong and
rapid‘ m its effects, for the savage is too
impatient to wait several hours for the
medicine to operate, and to much in-
fluenccd’by his sight and taste to be
satisfied by a small dose. He is never so
happy as when he has taken a good dose
of crotcn oil and colocynth, or four or
five grains of tartar emetic.
Holloway’s pills were as popular in the
Soudan as in London, and the sports-
man found that the more liberal he was
with these powerful cathartics the more
willing were the negroes to serve him.
Whenever he opened his medicine-chest,
the natives respected him as a great
“ medicine-man. ” The more he physick-
ed them the better they liked it. But
willing as they were to be doctored 1n-
ternally, not one of them would submit
to an operation with the knife.
‘A PLEASANT ana'nrma'nvn.
In Morocco, whch 'a thief is caught in
the most trivial ofi‘ense, they politely re-
quest him to hold up both hands. Then
they ask him what hand he would,pre-
for to have in his possemon, and when
he has made his choice they cut cfi‘ the
other. When a thief“ has thus lost both
bands and also his feet, he loses his head
and quite stealing.
'rnn LEGEND on GLEN rum.
In 1808, 'when the Indians made a raid
into Douglass and El Paso Counties,
they sought hidmg-placcs' in this country
—Colorado—but the canyon of Deer
Creek is too small for a covert. Turkey
Creek canyon gives more secure [riding-
places. Among other interesting mat.
ters connected with Deer Creek and the
Platte country is the legend of an old In:
dian chief and his daughter. Blazing
Star, a war chief of the Arapahoes, had
attained the greatest influence among
his tribe. Stern and implacable in bat-
tle, earnest and invincible in council, he
cared little for women, and was accus-
tomed to regard all squaws as very in-
ferior creatures. The Colorado pioneers
had reached the country, and the great
chief felt- very jealous of their approach.
But doubt and 'uncertainty prevailed
among the tribe, and Blazing Star be-
lieved they were about to yield to the
white man.
Noted for his boldness and unheard- of
intrepidity, the war chief resolved to
reconcile the opposing factions by In
grand coup d’dat. Calling all chiefs and
warriors to assemble on a certain day, he
suddenly appeared before them on the
topmost point of a crsg, which rises
above the most romantic and beautiful
part of the canyon, a spot known as
Glen Plym, where, through groves of
cotton-wood, Deer Creek, clear as crys-
tal, dashes along with a sound that is
wonderfully musical. How he got up to
that height no one knows, but it was to
be tried again soon after, as the story
will show. Assuming that the Great
Manitou inspired him to stand there, the
warrior addressed those in the glen be-'
low him, urging them to a relentless war '
against the pale-face. His cries for the
white man's blood were heard and
answered, and many spears flashed in
the sunlight at his appeals. But one old
chief returned from the pow-wow sad
and disheartened.
Laughing Eyes, the chief's daughter,
was so beloved by Wagull as if she had
been his own child. He knew that one
of the pale faces, a young scout, who, a
mere boy, had come west in the days of
Kit Carson, loved and was beloved by
the Indian maiden, He knew that Blaze
ing Star had contracted a special hatred
for the young scout. Hence be resolved
to warn the young girl. His warning
came non too soon, but when the maiden
started fo the settlement to warn her
lover she was beset by highwaymen, and
a thousand perils escaped to find the
settlement burned and her lover a
prisoner in the hands of her father.
She soon knew the worst. On the crag
above Glen Plym was the body of her
lover, who had been laid there to die of
starvation and exposure. She attempted
to scale the perilous rock, but slipped
and fell into the canyon beneath, a
corpse. The father, finding the daughter
dead, and arriving in the same way at
the cause, succeeded Py the means he
knew in reaching the top of the crag.
But his aid came too late—the young
scout had breathed his last.
Since that time itis said that in the
dead of night cries are heard as of the
old Indian chief bewailing the loss of his
daughter, and other and feebler cries as
of an Indian maiden weeping for her
lover. So runs this legend, hardly old
enough to be called so, for the old pio-
neers are so near the ColoradOcn of to-
day that it is not at an unlikely that the
legend had some foundation in the love
of a young man named Walters foran
Indian chief's daughter.
A WYOMING woNnEn.
Devil's Gatcis a reminder of the for-
ces which ware at work when chaos was
giving way to order on earth. That
rocky spur of the Sweetwater range
which lies sixty-five miles north of Raw-
lins is, perhaps, twenty miles in length,
and runs in a direction east and west.
It. is a steep “hog-back" mountain, ter-
minating at its eastern extremity in a
gradual slope, though a quarter of a
mile beyond where the mountain ends
there' 1s a large mound of similar forma-
tion to that of the mountain. In the
mountain, half a mile from its eastern
end is Devil’s (late. It is the channel of
the Sweetwatcr River cut through the
heart of the main ridge. This great
ridge is a pile of huge granite rocks, the
surfaces being worn very smooth in the
course of ages, having not an inch of
soil upon them, and hardly one tree
growing within a quarter of a mile. The
cut through which this river runs has
perpendicular sides of solid rock. Look-
ing at the mountain and Devil's Gap
from the hillside a mile distant, the ob-
server sees, not a gorge or gulch or
canon, but he sees such an effect as if a
Titan had cut away a slice across the
mountain and carried it away. ,At the
base of the “gate" the width between
the walls appears to be not more than
one hundred feet. The length of the
gate is nearly a mile. From the surface
of the river bed to the first break in the
perpendicular wallof rock is two hun-
dred and sixty feet. To a point in the
mountain almost overhanging this break
the height, as measured from the level of
the water is three hundred feet. '
Devil's Gate' is impassable for teams or
even a horseman. When the river is
high, a man finds difficulty in making
his way over the great rocks alongthe
sides of the stream. The water tumbles

WHY BOTTLES SHOULD DE LABELED.
The findings of coroncrs" juries are
luckily of more value, as a general rule,
than their recommendations; Recently
one of them “act upon” the body
of a child whohad met with its death
from drinking carbolic acid. It seems
that the unfortunate infant, whose age
was something over two years, was in the
habit of finishing of the drags "in the
ginger beer bottles opened for its
mother's customers. This in itself one
would have thought a aufllcient cause
of death; but the little child appear-ate
have one day got hold of a battle con-
acid. The jury naturally ‘brought in a
verdict of accidental death, but added a
rider to the effect that the bottles ought
to 'have been properly labeled. Our
school bonds have done a good deal,
but I fear it will be some time before
they get as for as teaching two-ycar-old"
to read.

AN om NEW ENGLAND CUSTOM.
In early New England days, as or
back as‘the middlcof the eighteenth cen-
tury, when hospitality was a practice as
well as a virtuatherc was'in most
houses only one large assembly room,
and chance callers gathered on Winter
nights about the blazing fire of logs.
love was lcvc, and young men were
timid and maidens were shy, and court-
ship went on in those days. How was
courtship possible in this common room,
1v here every word was heard and every
nial of Long Meadow, Mass, by Profes-
sor Richard S. Stout! of that town, that
in the Winter cvcniuga'fdr the 0011ch4
fence of young lovers. since there was no
—thatis, long wooden tubes that could
convey from lip to on! sweet and secret
whispers, Was this" “invention-pecu-
picture that this calls up of lifein it
making, the pretty girl (-11me every
girl is pretty in the fire-light of" long
chair, and the staid but blushing lover
in another, handling the courting-stick,
itself an open confession of complacen ce,
if not of true love. Would the young
man dare to say, “I love you," through
a tube, and would he feel encouraged by
laughing tender eyes of the girl when
she replied, through the same passage,
“Do tell?" Didfithey have two sticks,
so that one and could be at the ear and
the end of the other at the mOuth all the'
while? How ' convenient, when the
young, man got more ardent than was
seemly, as the flip went around, for the
girl toput her thumb ,over the end of
the tube, and stop the V'flow of soul! Did-
the young ‘man bring his stick, and so
announce'his intention, or did the young
lady always keep one Or a pair on hand,
and so reveal both willingness and ex-
pectation? It' was ‘so much more con-
venient than the telephone, with its
‘ ‘ hello ” and procclamation to all listeners
at each end of the line. Lovers can
make love with anything, even with a
telephone; the successful courting of a
deaf person (for there is one word that
nearly everybody likes to hear), in we
know, can go on through a speaking-
trumpet; but these courting-sticks seem
to us the m plus ultra of tender communi-
cation—when a third party is present.
They would be very useful now at large
parties, where there is such a din and
bable that one cm only court a pretty
girl at the risk of bronchitis or laryngi-
tis. Sometimes ,in "the jam you cannot
get near the girl, but with a long court-
ing-stick you could wile her away from
from her too near admirer. This inven'-
tion moms to us worthy of,rcvival for
many reasons, and we should be glad of
any further information in regard to it.

The contributions to the Qnscicncc
fund of the Treasury in the fiscal
year amounted to over 86, ‘ ’
fund has, since its establishment .
years amounted to about '8 ,
oars past it luvs averaged from
05,000 to Iw,000 a year. The term
“consciencdffund” was originated by
Treasurer Spinner. One day during the
war he receivedalettcr from the Treasury
Department from a man who enclosed a
check for $1,500, saying it represented a
misappropriation of government funds
of which he had been guilty while a
quartermastcr in the army. “Suppose
wecall this a contribution to the con-
science fund cnd got it announced in the
newspapers, and perhaps We will get
some more," he suggested. The an-
nouncement was made, and the Treasury
became the recipient of such‘funds.
The largest contribution ever made
was $4,000, forwarded by an ex-revennc
gauger from Chicago, as the amount of a
bribe received by him from distillers who
desired to defraud the government. The
smallest was nine cents, forwarded by a
Massachusetts man" who remembered
that he had at one time years before used
a marked three-cent sta‘mp on a'lctter.
In order to relieve his conscience he sent
three times the original steal, which he
thought was a fair compensation. Many
of these contributions come from per-
sons who have smuggled goods. The
majority of these arefrom women. A
recent case of this sort is quoted. A lady
residing in Canada who, years ago, smug-
~glcd intothiscountry a silk dress pat-
tcrn worth $100, recently concluded that
she ought to remit duty on it, and going
to a Custom. House officer asked him to
calculate for her the duty she would
have paid plus the interest, which being
done, she forwarded the sum to the de-
—to send her name. Occasionally a let.

that it is the result of a death-bed con-
