And she was dressed with such ex- quisite taste, too, it set off her dark brightbcauty so well, and she was a dainty, childlike little thing—why, even Dick couldn‘t help acknowledging her beauty though he didn’t take to her from the first. But I thought him wrong in that, .much as I trusted to his judgment, for you see, Dick—‘wcll, Dick Fraser and .my humble self have been betrothed for several years. and next spring, after Bessie marries, why, Iain going to keep house with Dick. But that isn’t my story. When our dear parents died they left Bessie and me this fine old-fashibncd home, a good supply of solid, old—fash- ioned flu'niturc and silver and house‘ hold linen, a good old-fashioned servant who had lived with us since Bess was a baby, eighteen years ago, and very little ready money. ' So, as we could not. give up our home, or be parted, we looked about us for two or three good old—fashioned boarders who would stay with us all the year round and be able to pay well for a good home. - \Vel], we foungl two, just what we wanted; Miss Burton, an elderly maiden lady, and Mrs. Wootton, a widow lady, who were glad to escape from the dust and noise of the city, and who were well able to pay good prices for our best rooms. And this they did, only stipulating that we should not take other boarders, but all have a quiet homo together. So we were just a houseful of women, you soc—not a man on the place, unless we except Tom, the half-grown boy who milked the cow and tended the garden and drove our little carriage for us. We had plenty of applications from summer boarders but we never took any until pretty Mrs. Graham came. It was a melting hot day, when a carriage brought her to my front door, witha lively, black-eyed little maid, and she begged so hard to be taken for justa month or two of the hottest weather, saying we looked so cool and delightful ' out there, and she dreaded the hotel so much, that it was hard to resist her. Miss Burton was in the parlor when she called, and she was so fascinated by the little widows's loveliness and live- liness that she gave consent to her com- ing at once. So then we consulted Mrs. Wootton— you remember our agreement with them made it nocessary-and she, too, was quite won over, and sothe result was that we made pretty Mrs. Graham an ex~ ccption, and took her and her lively little maid, Jeannette, into our charme household. ' She took possession that very day, coming down with three large trunks from town. She professed herself de- lighted with our fine old home and plentiful country fare, and she certainly delighted us with her beauty, and her bewitehing ways, and herlovely toilettes, and her wonderful music. For she made the keys of Bessie’s piano almost talk, and as Bessie herself was the only player among us, and she but an in- different one, such a musician was a great treat. Dick came down to take tea on Sun- day, as be generally did, and then he met our new boarder. After supper I asked him if he did not think her lovely. , “Yes, 'she is pretty—that can't be denied,"-hc said slowly. “Well, what fault can you find ?" I said, seeing he kept something back. “None, perhaps; but 1 don’t like her, and I wish you hadn‘t taken her, Mary. I believe she is allttle adventuross, that’s all.” “Why, Dick, her references were uncxceptionable, and she is a member of St. John's church. and a teacher in 6118 Sabbath school." “Is she? Well I hoqe she is a good one," said Dick dryly, and there the subject dropped. She had been with us about six necks, when one Saturday afternoonI received from our business agent eight hundred dolhirs, the proceeds of the interest in a coal mine belonging to Bessie and me. It was techie to take it to the bunk, wliereour cash was deposited, and I, being half unwilling to keep so much money two nights in: a lonely house full of women, felt strongly inclined toga over to the village and deposit if. there till Monday morning, ’ But, on second thoughts, I made up my mind. that was nonsense-the afternoon was warm. I was busy. and the money would be safe enough in my own drawer. So I counted the notes to be sure they were right, locked them in a' little casket, and locked them in my desk. As I opened the door of my room to go down-stairs, I met Jeannette, who said, she was just going to knock. Mrs. Graham was going to walk. over to the village—could she serve mo in any way-2 Tthankcd her, saidI would be glad if 5116 would call: at the post-office, and went my way to tea about tea. - The next. morning we all went to church except our servant Emma, who remained at home to have the dinner ready. ,- In the afternoon, Emma wished to no out, and as I did not like the house in :cmain quite alone, I remained at homo myself. ‘ Having a slight headache I lay dewn upon the sofa in the cool parlor and took a quiet nap. I sprang up session as I was awakeiied, and qut up Stairs to arrange my hair, meeting pretty Mrs. Graham coming down. “I did not know you were at home," said I. “ I have this moment come in and taken off my but," she said with a sweet smile, “and I was coming down for a drink of ice~water. " I heard her go into the parlor, where she sat for a long time playing grand, old, church music, and singing softly in tones so sweet that it made me think of heaven and angels’ music. Next morning as we were gathering at the breakfast-table, Miss Burton came in, pale and frightened, saying her room had been entered during the night by a burglar. and her watch and chair. and all her valuable jewelry taken. We allsprang up in consternation, and went to her room. where We found the window which opened upon the roof of a veranda partly raised and the shut- ters pushed open as if surely indicating the way the burglar had entered. Miss Burton had slept soundly and heard nothing she said, but had noticed her window when she first woke, and upon searching. found all her jewels gone. ' “ We might all have been murdered . in our beds !" cried Mrs. Wootton, polo and trembling, while pretty Mrs. Graham fell to crying like a child, do- claring she would not dare to stay another night under a. roof where there was no man in the house. “ Did any of the rest lose anything ‘3" asked Bessie. “I haven’t noticed in my room,” said Mrs. IVootton ; “ let us all go and look.” And to our rooms we went, I opening my bureau with a sinking heart. It was as I feared—my casket, which had only contained the money, was really gone! Some unaccountable impulse prompt- ed me to conceal my loss from the rest when I joined them again, and I hardly noticed that Mrs. Graham stopped cry- ing and looked queerly at me when I reported that my things were all right. And then she fell to crying again, saying hers were all right, too, but she never doubted that it would be her turn next, and she dared not stay there another night. Mrs. Wootton reported that every article of jewelry and all the money she had in her purse were gone, and Bessie said the same. This was a serious case, and we were at a loss what to do. I said I should inform the village inspector and then go up to town and consult Mr. Fraser and a lawyer, and I begged them to do nothing till I came back. They all promised, but pretty Mrs. Graham said I must come back before night, for she knew she was a dreadful little coward, but she must go over to the village and stay at the hotel for a few nights. She would only take J caunette and a little satchel, and when we got all quiet once again she would come back. I was not willing she should go, but I thought she would get over her fright by evening and stay, so I only asked her if Icould do any errands in the city for her. She said no—then yes, if I would be so kind I might stop at Welling‘s and match a piece of lace for her—she wanted five yards more and she gave me the money to pay for it. It seemed to me that trains went at snails' paces that morning, but at last I was in Dick’s ofiice. “Um—um—yes, to be sure! " said Dick, stroking his mustache with a thoughtful air. “Very bad, Mary! Very bad indeed! And your pretty little widow is the only one person who wants to leave you say 1’" “Yes. And I don't want any one to leave with such a stain on our house, Dick." “You. must by all means keep your pretty little widow tillI come down wit) an officer and search her trunks. " I sprang to my feet. “Why, Dick, are you mad ?" I cried. ‘ “ Neither mad nor deluded my (lea; little woman,” said Dick, coolly. “.Bui I have a little theory about this thing. Mary, and if you will let me work it out I may help you. Got errands to do tllil morning?" I was too worried to attend to any shopping for myself, but I remembered Mrs. Graham's lace and answered— “Yes, one." ' “Well, go and do it, and then come back here, will you? I think I’ll have a plan perfected by that time." I went toWelling‘s, stopped at the lace counter, and held out the scrap pretty Mrs. Graham had given me. “ Can you match this ? " I asked of the polite shopman who stepped up. “I wish to purchase some more of it. " He took the bit of lace, and I noticed a queer look come over his face. I alsc saw two or three of the young men draw near and eye mo curiously, and I began to feel embarrassed. “ I don’t know," said the shopman, slowly. “ Mr. Jones, ask Mr. Welling to step this way. ” The young man addressed hurried away, and in a moment the gentleman named came up, which was arelicf to me, for I saw something was wrong, and I knew him well, as he was an old friend of my father’s. “This is a bad business, and requires explanation. Miss Mary,"he said. “A week ago a lady exactly answering the description you. give of Mrs. Graham, 'came here and bought twenty yards of this same lace. Aftér she was gone it was discovered that, the money she paid was had. We have been trying to trace this lady ever since, but had not the least clcw till now. 7 What do you think?” “ I think," I tremblingly said, “ that I must tell you the bad business at our house last night. which brought me to town today." ‘ So I told him my story, and then he went with me to Dick’s ofliée. And when I went home I knew all I had to do. I told Mrs, Graham that I could not find her any more of the lace, and re- turned her money. As I had planned, Dick cp‘me by the six o'clock train. and we were all at tea when Emma came in with the quiet announcement— “ Mr, Fraser is in the. parlor, ma'am.” I excused myself a moment, and nastcning to the parlor found Dick and 1. detective. We hurried quietly up-stairs—I was so glad J eitnnctte was out of the way—- and into pretty Mrs. Graham’s room. One of her trunks was gone, but her hat and shawl lay upon the bed, and under the pillow we found her Russian leather hand-bag. ' . Mr. Detective made short work of opening that bug, and lol he had no need to look further! There we found all Miss Burton's jewelry, afithat be- longed tq Bessie and Mrs. Wootton, and my lost money. besides abunoh of skele- ton keys. And then his course was plain, ‘ and before I hardly knew what had happened,- we had astonished the'group at the supper-table, and pretty Mrs. Graham was a prisoner. Afterijvard we found proof enough that her work was done on Sunday after- noon, while I lay asleep in the parlor, and the window opened at night by her . lively maid Jeannette, to throw suspicion aside. - But we never heard any more either of pretty Mrs. Graham or J cannctte. Both, no doubt, got their deserts, for Mr. Welling prosecuted, though I re~ fused tho so.‘ . .-—.o.—. SUGAR. BY ELECTRICITY. Au entirely new process for refining sugar, electricity being the agent em— ployed, is one of the latest discoveries. If the half that is claimed for it be true, it is also one of the most important that has been made in the last half of this century. The process is said to be a dry one throughout, dispensing alto- gether with boiling and the use of bone- blnck.’ It is claimed that no syrup what- ever is produced, the whole product being hard sugar of nearly, if not quite, absolute purity—namely, 100 per cent. cane sugar, per analysis. This result has been obtained from the lowest grades, the parcels treated ranging all the way from ten pounds to over a ton in weight. The refined sugar is ob- tained within four hours from the time the machinery is set in motion, and the process is continuous, the output of fine sugar being kept up so long as the raw material is fed in and the machinery kept in motion. The cost of the process is almost ridiculously low, being set at not more than eighty cents per ton, with a guarantee that the loss will not be greater than about one-half of one per cent. The cost of the requisite ma- chinery, including power and apparatus needed to put the sugar into barrels and the buildings required to inclose the works, is estimated to be about $100,000; in England, for an output of four thousand barrels every twenty-four hours. THE UNION ARMIES In the North the flower of its young men went to war. The rank and file of the first Vermont brigade, known as the “old brigade,” was, when it first entered the field, composed almost entirely of young men from the farms of the State. and the brigade of “ nine months' men " that did such excellent seryice at Getty s- burg included a number of men of fine education and culture in its ranks. During the last years of the war the gold of the Army of the Potomac was mixed villi considerable alloy of base metal in the shape of substitutes and “bounty jumpers.” One hundred and fifty sons of Harvard College died on the field of battle for the Union, and their names prove that they belonged to families that have helped make Massachusetts. Alden, Almy, Armory, Ames, Adams, Peabody, Lowell, Chandler, Revere, Dwight, Trumbull, Putnam, Jackson, Arnold, Ellis, Curtis, Stevenson, Shutt- luiii Abbot, Russell, Washburn, Purl:- mun, Bowditch, Wadsworth, Webster, Porter, Sargent, Goodrich, Ware, Will- ard, Vincent, Hopkinson, Crowninshield, Bartlett, Shaw, Sedgwick, Hooper, Phillips, Emerson. Savage, Parker, Paine, Coolidge, and Wells are some of the names we find on Harvard's roll of honor, and they stand for some of .the best- stock in New England annals.

'rr-xn VEBNAOULAH OF THE TAR. There is a technical name for every- thing on board ship, but the sailor has succeeded in inventing corruptions for many of these terms. Instead of saying “ubaft,” he prefers to say “ beaft," and "fornst" does duty for “forward of." The proper term for an implement used in cleaning the decks is “ squegce," but this is usually knowu to the sailor either as a “screegec” or “scootegcc.” The carpenter is known as “ Chips,” while the lord of the galley has his title added to his Christian name. If his name happens to to be Joseph, he is known as “Joe, the coo ” No other functionary on board ship has his title used in connec- tion with 'his name on ordinary occas- sions. The captain is invariably known as the “Old Man." To each sailor's Christian name is prefixed either the name of the port from which he hails or an adjective expressive of some peculair- ity of his. If a sailor coming from Liv- erpool is named James his shipmates are apt to speak of him as “Liverpool Jim." Jack often speaks of his bunk as his "pew,” and when about to retire ex- presses his determination to “ turn into his pew." The officers frequently speak Of an old sailor as a “ whale." A drunk- on man is described as being about 9‘ three sheets in the wind, " because his motion then somewhat resembles the staggering movement of a ship which has been forced by a gale to shorten her sail to three sheets of canvas Many of the expressions, however, which the ideal sailor is popularly supposed to use are obsolete. The stage sailor calls his wife his "figure-head,” and speaks contemptuously of landsmen as “land lubbers" and “swabs.” The real sailor never uses these expressions in the sensors referred to. He speaks of getting married as “getting spliced" or “get- ting switched,” and women he regards affectionately as “the Judies," When he wishes any one to move he requests them to 1‘ slew round,“ ' ' ——————.o*—-—— wnsumqrox's cunning; 1‘0 m: Lund.

Judge Woods, of the United States Su- . ' SOlllE FACTS ABOUT TREES. White pines and yellow pines, pitch pines and sugar pines, two or three varieties of spruce trees, and half a dozen species of cedars were mentioned by Prof. Bickmoro in a. lecture to public school teachers on “ Evergreen. " The lecture was the first of a course onthc vegetable kingdom. Vegetables, said Prof. Bickmore, are classified into those with and those without flowers, and these classes are subdivided into those which plant covered seed and those which plant it uncovered. Evergreens belong to the second subdivision of the latter class. A large map of the world covered with big. black blotches was exhibited to the teachers. 'The blotches represented the quarters where over- greens grow, and they were found every- where except in the extreme Arctic regions. The United States in the map had a clear stretch of country, running north and south through the center, which the professor said “was the prairie region. It divides our forestry into the Atlantic and the Pacific divisions. There is nothing in the soil of the prairie to prevent the growth of trees, and the only , thing that keeps them away is the prairie fires. The active work of growth in a tree is carried on between the bark and the trunk proper. The manner in which the rings that are seen on a smooth-cut stump are formed was explained. Un- der a microscope it is seen that a common piece of wood contains a num- ber of minute cells. 'In a tree these microscopic cells appear in circles each year about the section of the trunk that isnew growth. They decrease in size as the season advances, which of course effects the density of the wood and shades its color from light to dark. The light growth at the opening of the following year is joined tothc dark edge giving the appearance of a ring. The great value of the pine tree was mentioned and enlarged upon. Not only is it used as lumber, but from it are extracted tar, pitch, and turpentine. The sap is made to flow by cuttings. niche in the tree a foot above the ground, and another about a foot further up. The block between the two outs is then chipped out, and the sap flow-5- The operation is called “ boxing a tree. " The sap first drawn is the purest, and is of a light yellow color. It grows darts-r each year, until the tree loses its vitality and is cut down. Tar is made from the sap which is heated out of logs that are being burned to charcoal. In the lumber districts on area of trees to be cut down is set apart each Winter by every party of cutters, and near its center is laid out a camp, where cooking, eating, and sleeping may be indulged in. The trees, when out down and tribune-.1 into logs, are drawn on the ice, and when it melts they are floated to the mills in raft. In cases where the water is not sufficient in depth or volume to float a raft, dams are made by the lam- bermen to raise it, and this, the Pro- fessor said, caused much of the destruction to trees which has recently been made the subject of legislation. The damming of the waterwashes the earth from the roots of trees along the banks, and when the water goes down with the dam the tree is certain of destruction, if, indeed, it has not been ruined before. The pine tree is an ar- ticlc of export in this country. « 0H. WEBSTER’S CRELESSNESS. ' on another occasion Mr. Webster had invited some friends to dinner. As he left home in the morning he requested his wife to send John down to the office about 10 o’clock to go to market with him. John came down according'y. Mr. Webster was-busy writing. Ho asked John if he had any money. John replied in the negative. “Then,” said Mr. Webster, “go down to Mr. Burritt and ask him to lend mo $5." (Bun-iii; was a stationer in the lower story.) John came back and stated that Mr. Burritt had not $5, but sent him $10, which Webster took and put in his waistcoat pocket. Pretty soon a poor a woman came in on an films-asking errand. Said Webster, still writing, “I know all about it; you’ve lost your husband and have five small children and nothing to eat. Take this!” and he gave her the ten-dollar note which John had borrowed from Mr. Burritt. By and by he finished his work and re- marked to his servant: “Now, John, we’ll go to market." Down they went through Court and Washington streets and Deck Square to the Quincy Market, before Faneuil Hall. Mr. Webster bought of the butchers at the south end of the market what suited him, but made no payment, as he had accounts with them. At last they reached a vegetable dealer, of whom Webster also made a purchase and was about to pass on as before when the faithful John arrested him with the remark: “Mi". Webster, this man is a stranger to us ; we never had dealings with him. “True,"‘said the great lawyer, “very true;" and put his hand in his pocket for the money to pay the amount. Finding none, he said to his servant: “John, I thought you gave me some money just now?" “So I did, sir," said John, “but you gave it to that poor woman who came into the office." “Ah! " said Webster, “so I did, but I had forgotten all about it. Well, J olm, you must borrow some more money and come down and pay these people; and now we will go home." W EFFECT OF .‘M USIC. The effect of music on the sense was wonderfully verified during the mourn- ing for the Duke of Cumberland, uncle of George‘lII. A tailor had a great number of black suit which were to be finishedin a very short space of times Among his workman was a fellow who was always, singing “Rule Britannia." and the rest of the countrymen joined in the chorus. The tailor made observa- tions and found that the slow time re- tartcd the work; in consequence, he engaged a blind fiddler, and placing him near the workshop, made him play con- stantly the lively tune “Nancy Dawson." The design had the desired effect, the tailor‘s elbows moved obediently to the ' melody, and the clothes were sent homo in ample time. oo—ooq—q The following conipcndious'vocabulnry of abusive epithets directed against'the Russians, arranged for convenience in alphabetical order, is extracted froma Delhi newspaper: ”Russians! asses, blOckheads, boobies. clowns. dolts, empty heads. fanatics, flats. fools, fallow brains. galaxies. geese, hypocrites, igno- knaves, logger heads. mooncalves, num- sknlls, oafs, pumps. quacks, . rogues, squatters, simplctous, tomnoddies, unla- tors, vultures. \vreakers. yellers, zokels’ zanies !" -0 -—- ....__._, Prof. R. 8.

Brainar‘d and Long succeeded in creeping out from under its folds, and crawled to thetop of a hill near by, from which was visible the coast toward Cape Sabine. At first nothing was seen by them; and Brainard returned to the tent, telling by the silent despair of his face that “there was no hope." The survivors discussed the probable cause of the noise, and decided that it was the wind blowing over the edge of a tin can. Meanwhile Long crept higher up‘ the hill and watched; attentively in the direction from w oh the sound had apparently come. :A small black object met his gaze. It might be a rock, but none had been seen there before. A thin white cloud appeared above it; the poor fellow knew that relief had come. In the ecstasy of his joy he raised the signal. flag, Which the gale had blown down. It was a sad, pi tiablo object—tho back of a white flannel undershirt, the logo; a pair of drawers, and a piece of blneubu’iiting tacked, to an oar. The effort proved- too-much for him, and he sank exhausted on the rocks. It was enough for the relief party; they saw him, whistled again, and turned in for the shore with all possible speed. Long rose again and fairly rolled down. the hill in his eager- ness to meet them. The launch touched the ice foot and the relief party hurried toward him. The i‘e’c pilot of the Bear reached him first, spoke a word of cheer and asked him who‘re (freely was. He informed him of tlie‘locntion of the tent and the state of the party. They hurried in the direction indicated, and soon reached the tent, while Mr. Lowe took Long off to the. Bear. “ In reply to our ico pilot’s qhestiou. ‘Is that you. Greely? ’ a feeble voice responded, ‘Yes, cut the tont.’ The pilot whipped out his knife and cut the hind end of the tent open from; as high as he could reach to the ground. Through this opening Colwell entered. The light in the tent (it was 9 o’clock P. M.) was too dim to see plainly what lay before him, but he heard a voice in the further corner warning him to be careful and not stop on Ellison and Connell. He found Greely lying under the folds of the tent with the fallen poles across Ill 1 body. Biederbeck was standing; Elli~ son and Connell lay on either side of the opening, the latter apparently don d. Stepping carefully across their bodies, be dragged Greely out and sat him up. He was so weak that he could barely swallow the crumbs of hard-tack that Colwcll gave to him in the smallest pinches. It was said that Grecly first asked the rescuers if we were English- men; and being told that we were his own countrymen. he added, ‘ and I am. glad to sec you.’ ’.' - - - ANOTHER WONDER. In some sections of the northern por- tion of Arizona the question of water supply, even for domestic purposes, is a very'serious one. This is particularly the case-at Ash Fork, 9. station on the Atlantic and Pacific railroad. A series of very lovely and fertile valleys 3111‘- round .the place, and plenty of grass grows for thg support of large herds of cattle, but no water can be had except from an occasional “tank" during the _Wiuter season. At Ash Fork the rail- road company attcmpted to sink an artesian well, but after reaching a depth of 900 feet, the drill became fpstened and could not be removed. Many futile attempts were made to extract it, but at last it was abandoned in despair. All water now used at that station and by the residents of the town is brought by rail from Peach Springs, sixty-five miles to the westward, and is sold at fifty cents per barrel. A short time ago a prospector, stimu- lated by the inquiry for water, reported that he had discovered a huge well, about eight miles from Ash Fork, sunk in a level plain. Parties at once rc- paired thithcr, with ropes and other paraphernalia, to explore the wondrous discovery. They found the locality, but to this day they do not know the exact nature of the curious cavern that met their gaze. It is located on a level plain and can not be seen until it is ap- proached very near. There is no evi- dence of earth or rock having been removed from the pit, which was found to be 150 feet in diameter and 320 feet deep, with perpendicular walls. No one in the party was brave enough to descend and explore the “well," when the rope had been lowered, and the ox- plorers returned to Ash Fork scarcely wiser than they were before their trip. ~ It is certainly a great curiosity, and there possibly exists a supply of water somewhere in its depths or in the num- erous caverns or tunnels that appar- ently emerge into the dark earth below from this curious threshold of sun- light.‘ HE WASN'T DEAL). A good story of Judge Bond of the ' United States District Court is told by one of his ~Western friends. It occurred in Boston in 1877. The two went to call on a medium. They were shown many wonders, and at last the judge was told to write a list of names on a slip of paper, which being done he “was in- structed to run his finger down the list and stop when the accustomed rap on the table was heard. When he got to the middle of the lists. violent blow was struck upon the table. Thcreupon a. long conversation ensued between the judge and tho materialized spirit, in which was rehearsed many astonish- ing facts, most of which the judge had ingeniously managed to drop in the opening of the conversation with the medium. Finally the exhibitor suspects something and the “spirit " abruptly departed. Then the judge fell into a brown study from which it was difficult to arouse, him. Suddenly looking up, he said, with the most admirably assumed tone of astonishment and conviction : “ This is the most remarkable thing I ever dreamed of. I almost doubt the power of Omnipotcncc to equal it." “Ah," said the medium, .“I can show you greater things than that." Further con. versation ensued in a similar- strain. when Judge 13,011.41 burst out with : “ But I tell you, sir, I challenge the Almighty to do such a thing. Why. air. can you believe it? I left this gentleman not twenty minutes ago on the steps of the Parker House !" At this the medium became naturally furious, and exclaimed: “Itold youto Write the names of the dead men on. that lie " “No." replied Judge Bond, with a lookof child-like simplicity, “you did not; you told me towrite the names of friends. and I did so. There isn't the-name of a single dead man on thatlis " It is needless to add that the judge and his friend de- partgl without ceremony. Terror is the. strongest when unde- fined. If we knew what death was like, men would as soon die as sleep. r’,’ his ear caught the welcome sound, and. benefit to me. FOR SALE. A STYLISH VICTORIA, Newly Trimmed and Painted.

"The old my shoe," said a slender, dark-haired man, “ was a great institu< tion. I have a pair at home that I have preserved. not as mementoes of any long march, but as landmarks in a venturous life. It was a custom among the poorly shod Confederate troops to remove after a battle, the shoes from the dead Union soldiers. This was not done in any spirit of vandalism or hoartlessness. The shoes were taken off to supply men who had much march- ing to do in inclement weather.- We simply changed 01d, wornout shoes for the good ones worn by thosa who fell in battle. - “On one occasion I took a pair of nicely polished No. G’s from the body of a man who must have been in life a model soldier. I had worn these shoes with great comfort through the four or i'yc remaining days of activity incident to the battle before} had any opportunity to examine them carefully. When we were again in permanent camp and allowed to remove our cartridge boxes and shoes at night, I made a. startling discovery, or rather I was greatly startled by a. discovery that I made one morning as I took up the shoes to put them on. “ On the under side of the flap, or tongue, was written in a. clear, round hand my own name. I was confident thatIhad never written it there. but there on both shoes were my initials and my family name, and I had taken those shoes four days before from the feet of a man killed in battle. The inferenccwas that I had stolen the shoes from a man related to me in some way. I could not put them on. I walked in my stocking feet to tho commissary department, secured a pair of new shoes, and I have the other shoes yet. ‘fThe affair, troubled me for a long time. I had no cppotuuity for making satisfactmy inquiry in regard to the man who bore my name, but in due time I did learn that there was no family relationship whatever. He had come to this country from England and had been in the country only a. few months when the war broke out. He enlisted through a spirit of adventure, andI was the means of giving his rc- latives definite information as to his fate. The only evidence I had bearing on points in which they were interested was a pair of my old army shoes.” “We THE LAKE D‘YELLEIKS. They wove and plaitcd cloth, and either cultivated or battered corn from tribes who practiced agriculture. More- over, they had sheep, pigs, goats and cows, and grew pears and apples, while they supplied themselves with fish by means of lines and nets. Their grain they ground into meal by means of 8» mortar or by “mealing stones,” and flavored it, as do the Dunes and Germans of our times, with poppy seeds, or, like so many other people, with cara- ways. They ate the water chestnut, the hazelnut and the walnut, beechnuts and acorns, and in the season, feasted on tho raspberry, the strawberry, the clderberry, the wild cherry and the sine. The art of ma ' gpottery was familiar to them, and thei ‘ implements of stone, - horn. and bone were hafted in wooden handles.

Their oxen were of the ancient breed kept in Neolithic Britain, and their swine, sheep and cows were confined in pens near the huts of these pro-historic farmers. Their dog wasa jackalvlooking animal, which was probably brought from Southeastern Europe or Southern or Central Asia, since its nearest native ally is a jackal found in those parts of the world, while the hog is thought by MT. Dawkins to have been introduced into Europe as a domestic animal. The sheep of the Lake dwellers was horned, and of a. “fine delicate breed,” and the goat was probably the ancestor of the Welsh variety, though, as neither animal is represented by any wild stack in Europe, their ancestry must be sought for in some other quarter of the world, whence they spread over Neolithic Europe. The stock of the Lake dwellers appears to have been introduced into Europe en masse. and not, as might have been expected, one after another, though it is doubtful whether the ass was a contemporary of the species mentioned, since it has been found in only two of the settlements. In brief, it isall but certain that the domestic animals of the Lake dwellers were brought from Central Asia, the home of so many of the European peoples. W. A VERY OLD JOKE. -,.__ Stopping some time at an inn, and feast— Ing on the fat of the land, Tyll was at length importuned by the landlord for payment, . and being driven to his wits’ end, be con— cocted a very pleasant scheme for discharg- ing his score. Far and wide be caused it to be announced that a foreigner had arrived at such a hostelry with an extraordinary ani- mal, whose head was where his tail should be. The sight-seem flocked to the tavern; and when the yard was quite full, and every one had paid his admission fee, the door of the stable was thrown open, and Eulen— spiegel’s horse was seen with his tail in the manger and his head where his hind quarters usually stood. The jest was taken in good part, and every one advised his neighbors to lose no time in visiting the wonderful ani- mal. Tyll was thus enabled not only to pay his host, but to fill his own pocket. The equivoque, however, belongs to allnations and times. The writer of this paper well remembers paying a. penny to his father‘s coachman, who had promised to show him a carriage horse with his head where his tail should be. He was also witness, some years ago, to a somewhat similar trick behig'playcd off at the expense of the worthy towns. folk of Brugcs. A kennesse was in full swing, and, at the door of a caravan, a. man, loudly vocifcrating, and at times banging a drum, invited the people to walk in and be— hold what they'had never seen before and would never see again. The charge was 10 ccntimes, and about every quarter of an hour a little stream of people issued forth, laughing, heartily, and bidding all their friends pay two sons for a sight that was: well worth the money. The spectacle was simply this: As soon as the caravan was filled, the showman produced from his pocket a nut, which be carefully cracked with his teeth. Then, holding, up the kernel, he gravely inquircdif any lady or gentleman present had ever seen it before, and, of course, was answered with a volley of “ No, no, never." “Inthat case,” he rejoined, “ look at it well, for ”——-poppiug it into his mouth—«“you will never see it again."—-— Tinsley‘s Magazine.
