' WHITE MARIE.
‘{Mario is a white, but knowing onl black
‘zette as her “mammy.” Two coup es, Ike
and Elvira,and J akeia black brute) and Mar
1.0, have been commanded to marry. The
use is the night before the double wedding]
Suzette’s cabin is lighted by the red glow
d a spluttering pine knot in. the chimney.
She. bends over the smoke dyed flame, her
handkerchief covered head sunk deep in her
M and shining arms. .
She looks over her shoulder into the dark-
nest behind her. Her own bulky form is ex-
aggerated into a shadow giantess on the wall,
and, round this silhouette, weird, snake like
Qfites of shade, born of the ropes of smoke
tom the pine, pirouette gleefully. Traces of
dried up tears are in the wrinkles of the dus-
ky woman’s cheeks. Her work hardened fin-
gers tremble on her knee, and her frame
quivers convulsively.
“0 my Lewd!" she prays, in deep anguish,
“show po' Suzette do right way. Now w’at
kin she do in dis yer trial on tribulation!
Der ain’t er spark er light in de wilderness,
on it’s fill wid swamps en dark as pitch, on
no' way out. Oh, my Lawdl you mus’ fill
my lamp ergin.” : .
) She ceases to pray, but does not look up
when a. slow, light step nears the deer on the
dew converted grass. Marie ‘ stands on the
threshold, a picture of youth in the clutches
of dark despair, drawn on the vast space
waves which is stretched from earth to the
wars. ,
. Since Marie can remember, Suzette has not
fiiledtc meet her with a smile—the smile is
not forthcoming to-night. As the girl languid-
1y places her hat on the bed she eyes the de-
jected 01d form in a way that shows that she
fully comprehends the woman’s feelings. She
dghs and turns to the door. She peers out
into the far spreading blackness as one in a
dream sees strange, threatening aspects and
his unable to flee from them.
Sometimes, when the rapidly scarring
, douds are thinnest in front of the moon, the
majestic convexity of the nearest mountain
diows, clear cut, against the sky. L
. Sounds of unalloyed merriment from El-
qira’s domicilé' ’subordiuate the singing of
. ihe‘breeze—tbiibhed‘; trees near by; They are
the harmonious .thump of ' a banjo and the
resonant, drum like beating of bare feet on a
puncheon floor. Now and then snatches of
happy plantation songs are sung\ami_d bursts
of hearty laughter. '
This merrymaking is intended to do, honor
to the dawning'we'dding'day of‘ ‘Ike and El-
vira. Neither had sought marriage, perhaps
for the reason that they had not been taught
to think and decide for themselves in matters
where their own welfare was concerned; but, ’
now that their banns had been cried by their
master‘s relentlem agent, they could. raise no
word of objection. Indeed, after the first
faintly queer sensation was over, they began
to feel quite happy in being the cause of the
revelers’ turbulent fun making.
The “banjo, player” and “my crowd,” .as
he terms the stentorian lunged loungers who
L join in the chorus to the rhymeless stanzas he
1‘ invents, are seated, some in the door of the
3i cabin, others on the floor, with willowy bend-
ing bodies and clapping hands. Cries one:

Who‘s been yer sence I been gone?

. Willing Ike rises from the floor with a
'5 mouth stretching grin, and plants himself in
the center of the ring of faces,Land begins his
r, performance by simply swaying his body to

’ sole against the door.

“Hump, hump, he humps or long.

', In an instant Elvira is drawn into the
1' ring. Ike emits a defiant gulfaw to greet his
' antagonist.
"You’ll find me ’ight yer on dis plank at
elm up, Elvira,” he says; “you better not
try me; tek er gal. on one ’at ain’t long

herself from making a reply to the girl‘s
earnest query. ‘ ‘
“Mammy,” continues Marie, her words al-
most inaudible, and touching her bowed com-
panion with a gesture of despair, “I can’t
bear it. Oh, God, I want to die!” , '
' “Honey”—but no effort of Suzettc’s can
induce the words come forth which tremble
in her brain. She lowers her turbaned head
almost into her lap. .
Marie turns from her to the door with a
deep sigh and a face void of blood.
“Whar you ’gwinei” asks Suzette quickly.
“Let me alone a little while, mummy; I’ll
be back soon. I feel I’m burning up, soul
and body. Let me go out in the night air.”
. She goes out into the fields. The clouds are
swirling dark overhead, and dazzling electric
strides, the turbulence of her mad thoughts
giving springs to her feet. 'A fine mist is
blown into her fevered face. A low, threat-
ening rumbling comes from the clouds, and
the mighty trees on the mountain are tor-
tured to groaning in an upper current of air.
The music in Elvira’s cabin dies away into a
faint hum. At last she finds herself on’ the
river bank, and experiences a faint sensa-
tion of surprise to see that she has walked so
far. In fact. she can’t remember when she
crossed the branch, about half way between
the river and her cabin. She does not won-
der over it long, however. The water lash-
ing the sandy beach is deep and dark, and
seems to have a voice of its own, a solaciug
kind of murmur which seems to promise to
relieve her of her great, weighty heart break-
ing burden if she will allow it. L -. .
The stream may be'the. g t, limpid, rost-
ful arm of God extended to embrace her.
They should find her floating somewhere on
the marrow, and should know then that they
had made a mistake in trying to dispose (1
her as they had. Perhaps the sun would be
shining ,then over the place she loved so well,
, for the hurrying clouds, with their'vivid
gleams ' of lightning, seemed only to boast of
their power to storm. The good, kind old
colonel, who had not, she was sure, given the
order for her sacrifice, would be back at Oak-
lawn ere her burial, and would look on her
pale face with sadness. “She knew he would,-
and thatjzthe water of sorrow would rise into
his kindQeyes, for he had 'a good heart and
loved her in his way, and had spoken kindly
.-l
‘to her many times.
Mrs. Bickerstafi’, away down in Charleston,-
should read the mum and cry, for the kind
hearted lady had wept over the death of
slaves not so much favored as she had been.
.Aud Harry might be at Miss Laura’s side
when he heard of it. His manly face should
undergo a change. He, too, ,would recall
some scenes which were before her mind‘s-
eye, and which pained her even more than
the prospect of death. He would want to be
back at the plantation on the day they laid
her in a grave among the other slaves. If he
could be at Oaklawn he would lay flowers on
her cofiln and look sadly on her face. With
the flowers might be some red roses like those
» he once twined among her raven tresms.
She moved down to the eddyiug water’s
edge and land her hand init. A.dazzling
flash from the clouds reveals the rugged river
bottom. Mud clogged logs and monster‘slirhy
bowlders, lie sine-repose there. Absently she
tosses a' {stone into the whispering, bubble
strewn liquid—thus would she sink, save her
long, unbound hair, which would throw out
‘its‘ many arms to the stream’s clutches. She
would lie there among those finny and creep-
ing things; they wOuld crawl over her face
with their tiny feet and crunching hungry
‘ mouths, and rest in the Orbits of her eyes as
they might in the crevice of a stone. ,
She Shuddcred, but she knew she should not
know it.
she would be at rest—frost, sweet rest. ‘. But
she would not want them to have trouble in'
finding her on the morrow. She had read
how people were traced to theieratery
graves by some part of their attire being left
on the shore. She must leave something.
The ribbon in her hair will sufiice. She un-
ties it from. her warm mass of hair, and
makesa bow of it on a bush. She remem-
)bers now that she assayed to teach Harry to
tiea bow‘once; as this thought warms her
streamers in and out to make its parts
smooth. Then she unlaces her shoes and
tosses them on the shore behind her.
Her features are now passive. She won-
ders if the plunge into blackness will give her
pain. Something touches her on the shoul-
der.
It is Suzette. with gleaming eyes and heavsl
ing bosom.
“No, no, honey,” she punts, after her hard
running. “No, 'at ain’t right. You tek yo’
lill shoes, my precious baby, my onlies’ lill

You mus' bear up. Do Lewd got His eye on
you, ‘hind ’at black cloud up deh, same on do

on persuasively, pulling the stunned girl
down upon the sand. “I done been prayin’,
en now Gawd sen me light. .‘At’s’ right, cry-
in’ gwine do you good. Now lay still; I mus’
talk ter dc Lewd ergin, knee I kin see you is
gittin’ in de reconcile way.
“Lawd, my gre’t master,“ then prayed
Suzette, with uplifted eyes and her hand cu
Marie's treason. as the girl sobbed in her lap.
“Lewd, you know all ’bout me on dis yer lill
chilen I done been comiu' for you time on

, The humble supplicator erpped her trem-
bling lips upon the white neck in her lap,
: and both were stillfor a moment. Then Su-
' zette whispered earnestly:
“Pray—pray ter ’Im, honey.”
Suzette could feel the girl's dumb lips
moving in her apron. Then silence fell upon
the pdr, save the murmuring of the lapping
water and the voice of the wind in the trees

“Mammy”—-the virgin’s beautiful face

GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY “DECEMBER '25. 1889.
With One Nickel.
A stout man handed a dime to the con-
ductor, who, before returning the change,
collected a nickel from a female passenger,
evidently a washerwoman, and handed the
nickel to the stout man. Turning to a pas-
senger, a friend evidently, and who had got
on before the stout man, the latter handed
him the nickel, remarking with a laugh at
the same time: “There, Bob, I owe you five
cents, and that squares us.”
“Bob” took the coin with a smile, and,
leaning across the aisle, said to an acquaint—-
ance with whom he had been talking, and
who was accompanied by a lady, evidently
his wife: 3
“There’s that fiv e cents I bet you on Boyer’s
majority.”
The acquaintance flipped the coin from his
right to his left hand, and handed it to his
female companion with the remark:
“There's that five cents I borrowed for that
cigar this morning.” - ‘ _
Smiling sweetly, the lady accepted the coin,
and, reaching over, dropped it into the wash-
erwoman’s hand, saying:
“There‘s the five cents I owe you, and that
just makes us square.”
It was all done so quickly and in such an OR-
hand way that it was not until the coin was
in the hand of its first possessor that the pas-
sengers whose ownership it had passed rea-
lized what a number of debts the small piece
had paid, passing in turn through the hands
of the washerwomau, the conductor, the stout
man, the stout man’s friend, the stout man’s
friend‘s acquaintance, the stout man’s friend’s
acquaintanoe’s wife, and the stout man’s
friend‘s acquaintance’s wife's washerwoman,
' in all paying seven debts and coming back to
the original possessor.
It sent all hands into a broWn study, and
the' story is true, too—Philadelphia In-
quirer.) .
Would Be Playwrights.
In the'oourse of my professional career I
suppose I' have had close onto 1,000 manu-
scripts of plays submitted to me for reading
by ainbitious'. amateur playwrights. When—
ever possible I have glanced over the manu-
script, for} as the poet says, “full many a
L gem of purest ray- serene the dark, un-
fathomed cayes of ocean bear,” etc., and I
might be the means of bringing one'of them
to light. ~. Ineve'r have been, however.
It is astonishingtho number of people who
think they. can write plays, almost as'astound-
.ing ns-the fact’that some of them actually get
before thefpublic.‘ . ' ‘ ' _ - , .
I recall with same amusement how, about
fifteen yearszé'ago, when at-.~Columbus, 0., a
youth, who is now in the foremost ranks of
journalism, came to me with his face lighted-
up with the fever of enthusiasm and asked
me to look over a five-act dramatization of
Charles Reade’s “Put Yourself in His Place.”
When he called the next day I told him his
production had merit, but it possessed one
serious drawback. He asked what that was,
and I replied that it would not take twenty
minutes in all to present his entire drama.
He was incredulous at first, and, to convince
him, I read aloud one of his acts in less than
five minutes. -
, This is a frequent shortcoming. Few peo-
ple seem to.understaud how the actors of a
play will ‘eat up their lines. On the other
hand, I have had tragedies Submitted to me
that were so long that they could only be
produwd, as are Chinese dramas, on the in-
. Glo
emocrat. .
Salt for Moths. ~ ‘
For maths, salt is the best exterminator.
The nuns in one of the hospital convents have
tried everything else swithout success, and
their experience; is valuable, as they have so
much clothing of the'sick who go thereii and
strangers, when dying, often leave there
quantities of—clothing, etc. . zThey hada room
full of feathers, which were sent them for
pillow'makihg', and they'were in despair, as
they could not exterminate the moths until
they were advised to trycommon salt. They
sprinkled it around, and in a week or ten ) L"
days they were altogether rid of the moths. '
They are never troubled now. In heavy yep .
vet carpets sweeping them with salt cleans
and keeps them from moths, as particles of -
salt remain in the carpets and corners. Salt
is not hurtful to any one, and has no bad
smell Here is a little hint I add, and which
perhaps every one does not know: For clean-
ing wash basins. . bath, etc., use the same
thing, common dry salt. -_ Rub a little of the
salt with your fingers on the basin. Often a
sort of scum is noticed in the basins in a
marble Washstand in the bath room; the salt
takes it 03 easily, and leaves the basin shin-
ing and clean—Philadelphia Press.
Decrease of Kangaroos.
The rapid decrease in the number of kan- .
garoos is‘beginning to attract the attention
of scientific societies in Australia. From the
collective reports of the various stock in-
spectors it was estimated that in 1887 there
were 1,881,510 kangaroos. - In 1888 the num-
ber fell to 1,170,380, a decrease of 711,130.
‘The chief obstacle to, the adoption of meas-
ures for the effectual protection of the kan-
.' garoo, says Nature, is his'vigorous appetite.
One f all grown kangaroo eats as much grass
as six sheep; andgraziers, who as a class are
not, it is to be feared, readily accessible to
the influence of sentiment, find that the food
eaten by this interesting animal might be
more profitably utilized otherwise. In a
communication on the subject, lately sub-
mitted to the Linnean‘ society of New South
Wales, Mr. Trsbeck suggested that the Na~
tional park might be used for the prmerva-
tion not only) of kangaroos, but of very many
members of the Australian fauna and flora.
_ All Exchange of Coins; _
Two young ladies from the country were
walking recently somewhere near the Strand
when, happening to lose their hearing, they
.asked a gentlemauly looking person to direct
them to Piccadilly. “1 am going that way,”
rejoined the sump, “and, I shall be pleased
to show you.” But he had not proceeded far
in the wrong direction when he complained
of thirst. “Could the young ladies oblige me
with a trifle i” One of the two in a moment
of nervousnes gave him sixpence, but even
this did not satisfy him. “I have been ill all
the winter,” hewent on, “and I am behind
with. my rent; can you let me have half a
crown?” The other young lady thought it
her turn now. “I have half a crown in my
pocket,” she said, “and if you will give me
back that sixpencs”— He held it out; the
young lady took it, placed it in her purse,
looked ,at the fellow for an instant, and—-
quietly walked away. —Court Circular.

. CONVENIENT KITCHENS.
Sensible Suggestions from Louis 11. Gibson.
Architect.
The march of progress of domestic archi-
tecture is through the kitchen. Four walls
and a stove hole do not afford many conve-
niences to the housekeeper. The kitchen
here illustrated does not pretend to be a
model. It pretends to be one kitchen. It
was planned by an architect and his wife, or
vice versa, for their own home, and was ar-
ranged with reference to the saving of labor
in that household. It was a personal ques-
tion to that architect. A description of a
with the-dining room, china room and pan‘
try cannot mean much to the reader. Hence
the complete arrangement is here shown. A
ukitchen should be planned with reference to
three things: The preparation of the food,
the care of utensils and the care of the
kitchen itself. This is all there is to be done
in a kitchen. Laundry work may be best
done elsewhere, say in the basement under
the kitchen. .
DIAGRAK.
I, table; I, cupboard; 3, closet; 4, flour; 5, ice; 6,
slide door; 1, tray; 8, sink; 9, shelves; 10, dry box;
11, soap box. ,. . .
As to the preparation of the food, there is
the pastryatable in the pantry, adjacent to it
shelves for utensils, at the right the flour
bin and near it the ice chest. Over this ice
chest is a 'window through‘which the ice man
has placed the ice without complaint during
a period of four years. There is adrain from
'the' under side of the ice chest to the outside
of tire pantry wall. Where a drain is not
provided for a refrigerator, the-only thing to
do is to place a -pan‘runder.it. When the pan
.runs over it is known to be full. No one can
carry a pan full of water without spilling it.
This makes labor. The refrigerator drain
eavesjabor. ’ . .
' In this household the meat is prepared for
the ‘range at the table at the left of the
kitchen sink. The vegetables are washed at
and are placed in their proper receptacles on
the table. The utensils sit in the shelves
L above this table ready for use. The stove is
directly back of the table, so that all there
is to do is to turn around to be near it.
The view .of the side wall in the kitchen
shows that none of these tables is inclosed.
The sink and allfrest on legs in front, and are
and‘tam‘, back of which pass the pipes. All
the’woodivork which covers the- plulnbing is
put together with'screws, which can be read-
ily removed in case of necessity. Thus all of
the plumbing apparatus is accessible. A
force pump is. shown: on the kitchen floor,
with the handle coming up through a slot be-
LThis forcejl'mmp may be uSed to pump water
the pump is not in use the handle_maybe
puShed back out of the way.
Hot and cold cistern water cocks and a self
closing cold city water cock are shown over
the sink. On the splash board above are
shown hooks for utensils. At the left of the
sink and over the left hand table is a series
of shelves, which may be provided with doors
in front if desired. Pots and kettles may be
placed on a shelf over the cellar way. Draw-
ers are shown in both tables. The pipe duct
is of wood,with the face secured with screws.
It connects with the plumbing apparatus
above. There is an opening near the top of
this duct, through which the warm air from
the kitchen may pas and keep the pipes
warm in cold weather.
The dishes are brought born the dining"
room in a tray, which is placed near the door
which goes from the dining room to the pas-
mge. The doors are swung on double swing
hingu; that is, they swing both ways. They
come to a closed position as soon as one lets
goof than. The d'mhes are carried from the
dining room, placed on the table at the left of
the sink in the kitchen. They are wmhed at
the sink, allowed to drainon the drain board,
are wiped from the drain beard and placed
on a tray on the right hand table. From
thence the tray is carried to the china eup-
board. The movement of the dishes is in the
right direction-strum the left hand table to
the china closet. A dry box is shown over
the range. Itisaboxabout twofeetand a
half high, with shelves arranged on one side
of it- There are inch auger holes in the bot-
. tom, top and shélves of the box. 'Dius hot
' air from the range passes up through it. On
the shelves may be placed scrub brushes. At
one side of it may be hung scrub rags, etc.
There is a door at the'front of" the box; hence
they are out of. sight and are readily dried.
The soap box is constructed the same as the
dry box, excepting there are no' auger holes
in the top. It has a two inch tin pipe con-
nection with the fine: The soap is dried, and
the odor is carried into the flue.
There maybe a large ventilating head over
the rangé‘conne’cted with the flue.
