Then I‘ll tell why.
Why do I love her? First make clear

Yes, love. I tum to thee from glare and crowd.

ELECTION IN BRITISH HONDURAS.
A Day of Much Rejoieing-nA Big Feast,
Music and Dancing.
Election day is celebrated with much re-
joicing, just as it usedto be before Europeans
came to America. The Spanish chroniclers
tell us that it was then customary for those
going out of office to give a banquet to their
successors, and at the present time the au-
thorities of those villages always spread a
banquet election day. The entire repeat is
placed on the table at once, except the tor-
tillas. Fresh supplies of these are brought
steaming hot to the table every few minutes.
. Onlymeutakepartinthis feastofthe poli-
ticians and boys wait on them. In the even-
ing the hall is cleared for dancing; then the
women and girls appear. They are dremed
with colored embroidery and have bright
colored scarfs around their shoulders. Bulk”
seems to be their idea of elegance, for each
has several very full skirts, all stiffiy starched.
Their gold ornaments, earrings, necklaces
and finger rings are very numerous—made
from ore found in their native soil. Some of
the girls are beautiful, though all are short
in stature like the men.
The musical instrument most used by thme
people is the marimba, played after the man-
ner of a dulcimer, but made of wood and
pieces of hide. The tones of the marimba
are plaintive, sweet and melodious.’ It can
be heard at a long distance in the still night
air. ‘
The women sit around the. room, but the
men stand in groups. When the dancing is
tocommence oueof them only advance to
the middle of the floor and nods to the woman
he desires for a partner. She leaves her seat
and goes to face him, standing a few feet off.
They perform a jig, hardly moving their bod-
ies, though the steps are varied and rapid;
occasionally they exchange places, but never
clasp hands. Without even looking at her
partner, the woman returns to her seat when
the fancy takes her, and ha, without chang-
ing his position, invites some one else by a
nod, for he is expected to remain on foot till
the music ceases. Then another takes his
place; so dancing is kept up till midnight,
all conducting themselves with the greatest
decorum. but merry peels of laughter are
heard now and again, and every one seems
perfectly happy, chatting gaylyas they wend
their way homeward in the soft moonlight.—

A SAD—LY DUPED EMPEROR.
A Curious Story Concerning Napoleon
III and a Contract.
I was lately told by a southern gentleman
a very .curious story, going to prove how
thoroughly duped and deceived was Napoleon
III at the close of his reign, and how gigan-
tic were the frauds and peculations then
being carried on by the imperial officials.
This gentlemanjs father had been on intimate
terms with Louis Napoleon when he resided
in the United States, and the future emperor
had often been his guest on his plantation in
Louisiana. My friend was traveling in Eu-
rope in the year 1869, and on arriving in
Paris, and wishing to be presented to the em-
peror, whom be well remembered as havmg,
when a boy, seen at his father’s house, he
wrote to one of the imperial chamberluins
setting forth‘his desire, and also the facts of
the case. The emperor, whom kindly feel-
ings for the friends of his adversity was well
known. at once granted him a private inter-
View.
The French sovereign and the American
citizen conversed long and pleasantly, and
when the latter arose to take his leave Napo-
lon asked him as to his next point of destina-
tion. “I am on my way to England, sire,”
was the reply. “Then,” said the emperor, “I
wish you would go to the establishment of
Messrs. M—, the great gunmakers, and ask
them how the order Sent them from our war
omce for 250,000 guns is- progressing. They
ought to be nearly completed by this time.”
The American undertook the,commission, and
calledas requested at the ofiice of the firm.
nodal-Ir for whom holds-eh addressed hi1: quits.
tion amply laughed in his face. “You must
be out of your senses,” he said. “Such
an order has never been given and the guns
do not e ' " My countryman became in-
dignant, and insisted upon seeing one of the
members of the firm. Mr. M—, the senior
partner, was summoned, but could only con.
firm the statement of the clerk. “I assure
you, sir,” he said, courteously, “that we have
never received an order of any kind from the
French government for so much as a single
gun." Yet these guns had been paid» for.
though unordered and non-existent. A strik-
ing proof was this incident of the vast pecu-
lations that took place during the later years
of the empire. My friend forwarded a state-
ment of the facts to Napoleon III, but doubt-
less all precautions had been taken to prevent
any such information from reaching the de-
luded sovereign, whose bright days were then
fast drawing to their close—Paris Cor. Phila-
delphia Telegraph.
Need of a Written Code.
If a written code were enacted we should
be able to set an example to foreign aristo-
crats, who base precedence on real rank and
defend it as a part of a system, a necessary
adjunct of nobility. We could show that it
may be founded on the most short lived
grandeur or unsubstantial consequence; that
it requires neither distinction, nor character,
nor attainment, nor age, which in certain
spheres aresupposed to be reasons for social
deference—but only rotation in ofilce. Like
Iago’s purse, “ ’twas mine, ’tis yours. and may
be slave to thousands.” ' »
But above all we could definitely extend
precedenceto wives. The English, whom I
mention because they are so generally“ no-
knowledged as models for our social study—-
the English scorn the idea of a prime minis-
ter‘s wife having rank because of the ofiicial
position of her husband. Mrs. Gladstone fol-
lowed every peeress in the land when Mr.
Gladstone was at the head of the govern-
ment; and even the wife of the archbishop of
Canterbury goes behind the wife of an in-
ferior bishop who happcns to be noble by
birth. But we would give the wife of a
judge precedence forever over the wife of a
senator, and entitle the wife of a cabinet
member to the first visit from every Ameri-
can woman not in the government. Then
there would be no more New Year’s disputes
at the White House. No one could ask:
“Who gave these ladies the place they de-
mand?" or “To what office were they elected
or appointed?" As it is, those questions are
embarrassing, and the ladies should be re-
lieved. The rank of the widows would of
coursebo determined, and the place of the
sons of senators and the sons’ wives. There
is a mighty task before the legislators, and, I
fear. a still mightier before the political om-
tors.—Adam Badeau in New York \Vorld.
Spoiled His Enjoyment.

“Well, how does this strike you. Ned?" “It

A Locomotive Gas Lighter.
The covered street at Milan, now well
known as the Victor Emmanuel gallery, is
roofed with glass and completed by alarge
dome, round the interior of which runs a
chain of gas lamps. The lighting of these
lamps at a considerable elevation used to
present some difficulties, and was always a
source of risk, until an arrangement was
made for doing the work by electricity. A
miniature railway has been constructed close
to the gas burners. on which runs a little
electric locomotive carrying a wick in

SINGER’S FUTURE CAREER.
A Young Violinist Accompanying. Her
Own Voico at a Village Fair—Laying
the Foundation of the Great'Primls
Donna's Fortune.
In a little but among tell pines on the es-
tate of Count Hamilton, in Wexio, in
Sweden, the but, consisting of two rooms,
belongingtoa poor forester, on Aug. 20, in the
year 1843, was born a little tow headed girl,
the youngest of seven children, who never
spoke unle- especially questioned, but con-
tinually sang, trying to imitate the birds or
the murmuring of the waters—in fact, obey-
ing an inner impulse to imitate the great
models of nature, never having heard any-
thing else. The Sjoabohl (hamlet) of Snugge,
to which the part of the forest belonged
where she had first seen the light of day, was
a few miles distant from Waxio, and the
highest ambition 0f the poor children was to

few pence somehow in that great town of
some 1,800 inhabitants. In order to reach
that glorious result, little Christine, who had
taught herself to play on a small fiddle which .
belonged to her elder brother, and which you
can see any day you please in the magnificent
mansion she has built for herself in South
Kensington, entered into partnership with
her brother, who was already her inferior as
a violinist, and they started out together for
the celebrated Wexio. >
a1 a VILLAGE nun.
‘ On they went, per pedes apostolorum. until
they reached, on their way, Ljung-by (by
means village), where there was held a small
fair, and where the young violinist accom-
panied her own voice in the few Swedlsh
national songs she then had heard and re-
tained in her precocious memory. With
great pride she relates that this, her first open
air concert, brought her the treasure of
threepence half-penny, forewarning her of
the untold wealth which awaited the children
at the town fair. Thither. then, they re-
with all the courage that succsm,
glory and money can give, and arrivedalittle
tired, but hopeful, at the fair. There was
suddenly a big audience, who .wondered if
the violin played Christine or Christine the
violin. When the admiring crowd assem-
bled it attracted the attention of Mr. Tor-
nerhjeim, the provincial judge, who tried to
find out, as every one of us would, what was
the matter. Well, fortunately for the great
singer, the'judge, a man over ‘six feet high,
looked over the shoulders of the people at the
little girl who formed the center of attrac-
tiou;and then he saw and heard, over and
above the scraping of the little fiddle, what
he thought the sweetest and most enchanting
timbre of voice he had ever heard before.
A highly educated man, and accustomed to
read in the physioguomyof the people who
were brought beforehim their character and
probable capabilities, he spoke first to the
boy, then to the little girl, and there and then
laid the foundation of the great prima donna’s
fortune by the present of untold wealth—a
sixpeuce. Christine, already frightened with
the responsibility of carrying her Ljung-byv
funds, suddenly grown rich beyond her ex-
pectations, with great firmnem insisted on
their immediate return to the only place
where so.much money could safely be in-
vested or deposited—their father’s but.

You can see in one of Christine’s great
salons the little skirt, which did not dmcend
to the ankle, the toilet dejour of her first con-
cert, minus thsles'st bit of shoes or stock-
ings; and the cherished portrait of two bolls
payssns Suedos—father and mother—in a
rich gold frame, which cost more than a long
series of concerts at that time could have
brought her.
Although not quite so rich as she became
hereafter, she returned with the first money
earned with her first succtm in public to her
father, who saw. real and olive, nine and one-
half pence. the product of two concerts, in
his daughter’s little hand. Strange as it may
appear, the great spoons and the great finan-
cial remit remained for a few days without
any further consequences; when, just as a
second artistic journey was contemplated, the
above-mentioned judge, who naturally had
had some difiiculty in unearthing the where-
abouts of his small prime donna. came
straight upon her father and asked him
would he allow his honor the provincial
judge to take temporary possession of the
youngest child, and if she were found to be so
intelligent and gifted as she was supposed to
be, to give her the education which would
perhaps make the name of little Christine
somewhat better known. The father referred
him to the mother as every well bred father
will, and the mogher, with that abnegation
that makes of motherly love the only reli-
able, never—to-be-found-wsnting love in the
world, instantly consented to separate hcr~

The Boston girl does not take up tobogganl

possibilities of picturesqucness and effective-

itas one of the developments of the progress

philosophical beauty of change, and accepts
tobogganing as she will presently accept
whatever other good the gods send her in the
way of fun.

A BANK ACCOUNT.
USEFUL HINTS TO PEOPLE WHO"
KEEP MONEY ON DEPOSIT.
How to Guard Against Fraud or Mistake
in Business Transactions—Check Book
and Stubs—Writing Up the Bank Book.
Checks as Receipts.
The custom of the banks, when it is decided
to open an account with a customer, is to re-
quire the customer to write his name in a
book, kept for that purpose, at the time the
account is opened. The obvious reason is to
guard against fraud or mistake in all subse—
quent transactions in which the bank has to
determine the genuineness of the customer’s
signature. If the genuineness of a check pre-
sented for payment to the paying teller issua-
pected, the signature may be compared at
once with that recorded with the bank, as has
been stated, and thus its validity be deter-
mined.
In opening an account with a bank the cus-
tomer is furnished by the bank with a book
in which is entered on the left hand, or credit,
page the amount deposited by him. All sub-
sequent deposits ure entered in the book, with
the date, respectively, of each deposit. At
the time of opening an account the bank will.
generally, furnish the customer with a check
book containing twenty-five or more checks.
and for this no charge is made. Persons wish-
ing to have nicely engraved checks can get
them, but a charge is usual in such cases,
though the amount will not exceed seventy-
five cents for a book of a like number of
checks. At the same time the bank will also
furnish to the customer a sufilcientnumber of
“tickets,” which are small pieces of paper
containing at the head a blank for the per-
son’s name to be inserted. also a blank for the
date, and below the words “checks" and
“cash.” Whenever a deposit ismade the de-
positor fills up a ticket, giving his name and
the date, and writing in the column against
the words “check" and “cash" the amount of
each, respectively, deposited. These tickets
should always accompany the bank book
when a deposit is made. They are kept on
file by the bank, and serve as vouchers for
both the bank and the depositor, from which
the accuracy of the account may be deter-
mined, if the question should arise at any
time as to the amount, the time and' the na-
ture of, any deposit. . _
A moment's examination of the check book
willIserve toshow the dcpositor the method
of drawing a check. It will ' be observed,
first, that every check is numbered in its
corner. Again, the place to tear on a check
is indicated by the perforated line. When
tom 03 at this line theth remaining in the
book is called the “stub. ”
pay the person named in the check a certain
sum of money. It will be obvious to any one
who is about to draw his check that it should
be dated, and the name of the payee, or per-
son in whose favor it is drawn, should be in-
serted in the body of the check; that the
amount to be paid should be written in, and
also indicated by figures after the dollar sign,
and that the check should be signed by the
drawer at the place indicated. Ach‘eck should
always be drawn with great care and ac-
curacy.
The stubs, to which reference has been
made, are-an important part of a check book.
' as they contain a complete record, if properly
kept. of all transactions with the bank. They
are transcripts of all checks drawn from time
dates'aud the names of the payees,respe.c'tl,vely.
neverbeomittod. It is not only important
' for the reasons stated, but is vastly important
in determining the state of the account. By
adding together the several amounts found in
the stubs it is obvious that the amount drawn
from the bank may be readily determined.
This amount deducted from the amount de-
posited, which will appear in the bank book,
will show the amount standing to the credit
of the depositor. A gentleman. for the sake
of convenience. once took out of his check
booka number of blank checks, which he
carried in his pocket, in order that he might
use them at any time. He used them all, but
neglected to keep anaccount of them, as he
would have done had he had the stubs before
him, when,to his dismay, be was one day
notified by the bank that his account was
overdrawn. Small checks. like small and
frequent accounts at a store. make terrible
inroads upon one’s bank account, and it is
well to watch them closely.
A bank book should be regularly and fre-
quently “written up,” pmicularly when
checks have been frequently drawn. This is
done at the bank by a bookkeeper, who enters
in the bank book the amount shown by the
customer’s account to have been paid from
time to time. These amounts are compared
with the checks drawn to insure accuracy.
When thus transcribed into the customer’s
book, the amount is found and subtracted
from the amount deposited, and the balance
carried to a new account. The checks. are
returned to the customer with his book when
it is written up, and are the customer’s
vouchers. He may compare them with the
stubs in his check book and determine
whether they correspond in amount and are
correct. It is well to keep these checks. In
many cases they serve as receipts for bills
paid- They'are receipts. Acheck is given,
for instance, to the dressmaker for her bill;
itis payable to her order. Before shecan
get the money upon it shemust indorseit;
that is, :write her name acres the back.
When returned by the bank to the drawer
with finch inflorsement it shows that the
checkha's‘been presented by her andpaid;
and it then becomes a. receipt or what is
equivalent to one.—Demorest’s onthly.
The Baby King of Spain.
To interview on adult emperor, king or full
fledged president is not very extraordinary,
but to look up a majesty only 0 months old
implies that the force of interviewing canno
further go. Alphonse XIII of Bpainandhis
nurse Raymunda have been subjected to that
Nineteenth century inquisition. The baby
king is well and is engaged cutting his first
teeth. All his entourage when alluding to
him say “His Majesty.” His mamma and
wet nurse adopts t is familiar title of “baby. ”
Indeed Raymunda—a name of M
origin—occasionally alludes to him as her
miocho. There was once a Bourbon princess
interred at St. Denis at the age of 8 days.
She was alluded to in the court circulars as
“The high and mighty princess,” with a
string of ct 'ceteras that would crack. the
brain of even a Spanish lord chamberlain to
remember. '
Alphonse eats, sleeps and laughs and plays
well. Raymundn’s sole duty is to give him
the breast. The couple are visited twice a
day by the doctors, the baby is weighed
every ten days and the nume‘smilkanalyzed
weekly. There may be death in the breast as
well as in the pot. His majesty hashis own
household; quite an army of major domos is
told of! to attend to his slightest wants. A
special guard of beefeaters watch the nurs-
ery, which is close to the queen regent’s
precautions will be taken. On that depends
the stability of a throne‘and the happiness of
16,000,000 people. When her majesty wishes
to paya, compliment to o. friend or a dig-
, jine takes baby into her own armsaud

phonse’f looks supremelyi happy she has his
photo at once taken. Quite a picture gallery
could be furnished of portraits of the queen
embracing her son-in-heir. All her husband’s
family are as true to the widowed queen as
the needle to the pole, and she finds in the
routine of her state business the best antidote

“Well, I’ll tell your reverence. Some time

horse but with another horse. Well, sorra a

IDOLS IN NEW YORK FROM CHINA,
AFRICA AND INDIA.‘
Descriptions of Some of the Prominent
Gods and Goddesses—Horus] Grotesque-
ness—The Chinese Adam—Buddhist Vir-
gin—Vishuu'a Four Incarnations.
There are about 200. heathen idols in this
city, of which the Presbyterian collection has
eighty-five. These embrace idols from China,
India, Mexico and Africa, and include a
sufiicient variety to satisfy the most pro-
nounced heathen. A heathen god doesn’t
pride himself on his beauty, but rélies on his
horrid grotésqueness to send a chill down the
backbone of his devotees. One of the three
Mexicali idols is of wood. The sculptor evi-
dcntly used a'jack knife. and gave the idol
great angularityin all directions, especially
at the knee and elbow joints. .The arms meet
in front without the intervention of hands.
The body is very long and the face utterly
without expression. Another Mexican speci-
men rssembles the old Aztec deities, with
heavy masses of stone carving about the head,
a stern exprMon in the face, and vigorous
ugliness strongly predominant ill every feat-
ure. The third of the Mexican gods is of
wood and resembles a coal beaver with a pro-
fusion, of black paint on his face, heavy
muscles and a garment of green cloth.
There is one African idol. ‘Its countenance
looks like a distorted negro face. with lips as
if out apart by a huge plow. The nose is of
triangular shape, and the ridge extends
through the forehead to the hair, which is
composed of braided cords. The dime is of
black and white cotton cloth, and her shoul-
ders are covered with a cape of redflnnnel.
The arms extend nearly to the feet and are
very clumsy.
_ vamous cmnsn oops;
Elm Sing is the Chinese god of literature.
He is worshiped by all literary men. He is
represented with one foot on the head of the
> sacred fish. and is evidently as much down on
it 'as an American editor is on a fish story.
He holds aloft in one band a pen, which
looks like a cigarette, and is made of paper.
In the other-hand is a tablet of papyrus.
Unlike literary men, he is very homely. He
has large ears, and has apparently justre-
ceived some news and is hurrying to get it in
the last edition. His left foot isralsed be-
hind him, as if in the act of running.
Lui Kong is the god of thunder. Thunder
and lightning are supposed tobeunder his
control. and he is much feared. His upper
lip is constructed on the principle of a cow-
cotch'er'. The nose is chopped off squarely at
the bottom. Each check is ornamented with
a brazen spot. His ears are large and broad,
and above them are two large flaps like ele-
phants’ ears and redas beets. Howears a
golden robe and looks generally as if he were
rumling against a high wind. His right
hand is raised, as if to touch of! the thunder.
Each foot has three toes, and his knees are
covered with mail. He is seated inalargo
chair. I
Prin Kil Wing, the Chinese Adam. was the
first man, according to Chinese theory. He
sprang out of chaos, and then remodeled the
heavens and the earth. He is worshiped
principally by erecters of meat sheds in
China. He is seated squarely on a block, and
holds one of the Chinese “diagrams,” or amu-
lets. in his-hands, has a short skirt about his
loins and a mantle on his shoulders. His
forehead is high and streaked with black
paint. His ears are large, face fair and his
. hair is raised in heavy lines. Dee-Low-
Koon, a baldheaded, benevolent old fellow,
with long tufts of horsehair whiskers. is one
'of the “Seen,” an imaginary species of genii,
of men who have become immortal and in-
habit the hills. His business is to teach men
to find the Elixir of Life (or to make it), or a
medicine which confers immortality.
THE nunnnrsr VIRGIN.
Kevan Len isthe Buddhist virgin. She is
attired in gold, has a face of the color of rod
clay, and is under a canopy with arms rest-
ing on a balcony. Two brother gods, with-
out namss, have deep black faces, with
heavy whiskers and mustaches in tufts like
bogs in a swamp of inky water. One has his
.eyes turned downward; the other’s are dis-
tended as if he had just ended a severe fit of
choking. Above the one are strung a couple
of black keys, and the other has ornaments of
the same kind in white metal. Nearly all the
Chinese gods have nicely curled mustachos
When they have whiskers they are in the tuft
form, stifi as porcupine quills.
Feen-hau is the Queen of Heaven, and is
very generally worshiped in China, espe-
cially 'by seamen. She is enshrined in every
vessel, and has many temples on land. She
has a gentle expression. There are several
representations of her. In one 'she is seated
in a large chair, completely filling it, and, has
a fiat piece of wood on her head. In another
she is represented in gold clothing, with her
hands wrapped in a rich mantle. She has
ears, with drops, holds a scepter, and
looks like a fat China woman. Kum-yam, or
the Goddess of Mercy, is Worshiped by all
classes. She isahuge female in dark red,
with large limbs, and is seated with a child
resting on one knee. Her face has a mild ex-
plosion and she is not particularly homely.

The Hindus think they cannot tell a lie when
this is on their neck. Sing Wan San Poosa is
a god of riéhes andis a solitary character. It
issaid hehas given the wealth of China to
England, and he is therefore heartily despised.
Ram, incarnation of Vishnu, is in marble.
He was found in Sutledge river, near Lodiana,
having been thrown there because of a broken
arm. When an idol has alimb broken he is
thrown away. There are four representations
.of the incarnations of Vishnu. One is the
Boar Avatar, which is looking up, supporting
the world on his snout. He has a boar’s head
but a man’s body. The Fish Avatar has the
body of a fish with the head of a woman and
four hands. He holds a scepter in his left
hand and is trampling on a man. Ketch
Avatar has two scepters and is four handed.

Habits of Miser lfaine.
The portrait of a mis‘er which is being
drawn in the contest over the will of James
Henry Paine, of New York, would'furnish
rich material for a novelist. The habits of
the man, who left $400,000 tied in an old
handkerchief, are shown by his visits to a res-
taurant for his meals. He was very fond of
mutton stews. Occasionally one would not
suffice and he would call for a second; the
price for o. stew was ten cents. Generally his
pockets were stuffed with pieces of dry bread,
which would at times fall out on the floor.
He would order a stew, pile up crustsof hard
bread taken from his pockets, throw over
them about half a bottlo of Worcestershire
sauce and then swallow the whole with a
vgmcity terrible to behold—Chicago J our-

A CHILD’S SKIN !
EARS AND SCALP COVERED WITH
ECZEMATOUS‘SCABS AND SORES~
CURED BY CUTICURA.
MY llitie son, aged eight years, has been afflict—
ed with Eczema of the scalp, and at times a
great portion of the body. ever since he was two
years old. it began in his ears and extended to
his scalp, which became covefed witll scabs and
sores, and from which a stick fiuid poured out.
causing intense itching and istress, and - leaving
his hair matted and lfeless. Underneath these
scabs the skin was raw, like a place of heefsteak.
Gradually the hair came out and was liestro ed,
until but a small patch was left at the back 0 the
head. My friends in Peabody know how in
little boy has suffered. ‘At night he would scralclI
hlshead until his pillow was covered with blood.
1 used to tie his hands behind him, and in many
ways tried to prevent his scratching; but it was
no use, he would scratch. I took him to the hos-
pital. and to the best physicians in Peabody with-
out success. About this time some friends, who
had been cured by the Cuticura Remedies, pre-
vailed upon me to try them. I began to use them
on the 16th of January lost. In seven months
every particle of the disease was removed. Not a
spot or scab remains on his scalp to tell the story
of his suffering. His hair has returned. and is
tillCK and strong, and his scalp as sweet and clean
as any child’s in the world. I cannot say enough
to express my gratitude for this wonderful cure
by tile enticura Remedies. and wish all similarly
amicted to know that my statement is true and
without exagfieArqgion.
