NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY JANUARY 29, 1890. A MISTAKE. A little cloud, one summer day, While roaming o‘er the sky so blue, Began to scowl and pout, and say, “Oh, dear! wlmt is there I can do?“ Now, just below it, midst the corn, An old man stood, with hoe in hand, In tattered clothing, all forlorn— Hc seemed at work upon the land. “Ha! ha; ” the cloudlet laughed, and said, “Now, here‘s a chance to have some fun! I‘ll rain upon your hoary head, My ancient friend, and make you run!“ But though the cloud rained hard ald fast, The farmer wouldn’t budge a bit, Till in a pet the cloud at last Cried out, “I never saw such grit!“ Because the farmer wouldn‘t scare, t sulkeil and frowned the livelong day. How could it know the figure there Was just to keep the crows away? —Bufi‘alo Times. INFLUENCES. Better the song and he smile, my dear. Better the song and. the smile.

A writer in The Paris Figaro gives numer- ous details regarding the private life of sev- eral princes, among which the following story of the Grand Duke Alexis, of Russia, is particularly piquant: The grand duke, who is an admiral in the Russian navy, and has a great influence over his brother, the czar, at one time created as great consternation ll). the imperial house of liissia as that of which the Archduke John has recently been the cause in the Austrian court, but by another method—an affair of the heart. The young Empress Marie, his mother, had with her as a maid of honor the daughter of the poet Joukowski, in whom she took an especial interest. One evening when the young gii'l was alone with her sovereign she fell in tears at her feet and confessed that she was loved by the Giand Duke Alexis, that she shared his passion, and begged her to consent to their union. Imagine the empress’ surprise. The im- perial answer was the immediate escort of the maid of honor to the other side of the frontier, to the home of her relatives in a foreign country, and an order to the grand duko to rejoin the Russian fleet in the Baltic. But the august masters of Russia did not realize with whom they were dealing. The grand duke escaped from his vessel, joined the maid of honor in her exile, took her away without ceremony, and carrying her to America there married her secretly. I pass over the disgraces, the vicissitudes, the phases of all sorts, that followed this ex- ploit. Royal loves are like fires of straw; they are as quickly extinguished as kindled. The day came when the grand duke, under the influence of his mother, completely sub— mitted to the Emperor Alexander 11 and re- entered the fold. The secrecy of his union and the conditions under which it had been contracted made it null in law. Time dried the tears of the heroine, and she married a Saxon gentleman, Baron Coohrman, and lived in retirement in Germany. Their only child enjoys a large income, and bears the title of Marquis de Negiana, conferred upon him by an obliging hancellor. :1 .(Eypsy King. A modest brick house standing a little way back from the street in a suburb of the city ' 1f Dayton, 0., is the property and for a part f the year the home of a gypsy of wide re- ute, the heir apparent to a throne in Little A‘gypt, and here and liereabout is the rendez- 'ous of a numerous band or tribe. This set- Iement is widely known as the home of. some )f the richest and most influential families of 1 ypsydom. among them the Stanley's, of vhom the present head, Levi, is called the ing.

This week there has been an opportunity to see a market fair in Hanover, which occurs only thrice a year, and lasts but two or three days. In fact, I am just returned from wan- dering about town in a. drizzling rain, bump- ing umbrellas in the crowd of chaffering and chattering Hanoverians, and receiving an oc- casional curse from some booth owner be- cause of the unintentional but none the less wet stream of water which my umbrella tip plumped down upon her cakesor candy. The stalls and booths for the display of the wares were to be found in various parts of the town, according to the nature of the sales; thus live stock was to be had in one section, books in another, “notions” in the third, and so on. Today I spent my time in the old portion of the city, and here the center of hustle and interest was the ancient Market church. From the square upon which this church stands the lines of booths stretched up the streets, radiating right and left from the Market square. These booths were hastily rigged affairs, built of boards, with their tops covered with canvas against the rain, so that they looked like a row of Indian wig wams. Every conceivable article, and some inconceivable, were to be purchased along these rows, behind which stood men and women crying 11p their wares or doling out small portions to the peasant buyer. Before 4 o’clock of this rainy afternoon the oil lamps were lighted and flared picturesque- ly in the wind. Through the middle of the streets surged the crowd of buyers, many of them country folk, who had come in solely for the fair. They clattered over the cobble- stones in their sabots and beat down prices with high heart and volubility. Above rose the gray old houses and high over all the venerable and massive church, under whose walls for five centuries humanity was bought and sold, lived and died. It was a scene for a Dickens, and I sighed for his insight and his g1 aph’ic power of desc1iption. At some of the booths a foreigner was es— pecially tempted to rid himself of a few pen- nies or marks. For example, here hung by the score those long, porcelain bowled pipes which me so typical of that country, and hard by w e1 c all manner of blue earthen- waie d1 inking jugs, mugs and tankards, with bibulous inottoes in German script and metal covers that were a joy to see. In some cases some magic sign like “Ans Italien” was hung in front of the booth, and there you were sure to find cheap jewelry, tawdry paintings or bizarre house ornaments, those behind the improvised counter being dark, sallow and melancholy eyed, and wearing large rings in their ears after the manner of their race. There seemed to be no congruity here in the arrangement of the successive stands; be- side one exclusively devotcd to worsteds would be another where the succulent sausage and the malodorous but beloved limburgei' reigned supreme, and a little farther on the. toys of childhood hobnobbed with a murder- ous array of knives, big and little, ranging from the tiny nail trimmer to the long, keen blade of the hog killer. The motley of sales and sights only made the scene richer and a characteristic picture of foreign street life. I am told that the articles to be bought at these fairs, though cheap, are shoddy and un— reliable, and are avoided by the wily citizen, the chief profit accruing from the open mouthed country bumpkius who judge by outside show and the oily assurances of, the proprietors-Cor. Hartford Courant. The Russian Blot-bod. In the course of his tour of inspection through the Caucasus this autumn Prince DondukofI-Korsakoff passed close to the vil- lage of Stary Yoort, where a native colonel was not long previously murdered out of revenge, and where the murderers were be— ing screened from the authorities by the in- habitants. ‘ As they refused to give up the assassins, the prince ordered all the inhab- itants of the village to be assembled on his route two miles off. Here the prince refused to accept their greeting of bread and salt, and rated them right soundly in the severest terms of the Russian vocabulary. At the same time he ordered their elders to be ar- rested on tln- _1'»t and gave them one month in which to surrender the murderers. If they remained recalcitrant at the end of that term, the severest punishment was to be inflicted. W'ith the usual obstinacy of the Chechenlis tribes, who continue their opposition to Russia as long as, if not any longer than, any of the other tribes of the Caucasus, the murderers were not given 11p at the end of the month, whereupon a “military execution” was or- dered to be made. At daybreak the village was surrounded by a cordon of troops, and all the inhabitants were disarmed and for- bidden to ever carry arms again. A detach- ment of troops was then quartered in the village, and 1,200 rubles was exacted for the benefit of the murdered man’s family. An elder was also appointed and sent by the au- thorities, with a salary to be paid by the village of 600 rubles a year. The murderers have 110w at last been surrendered, and the troops consequently withdrawn—St. Peters- burg Letter. The “'rong Approach to Browning.

A Fonduess for Old Company. _ The 70-year-old lady, rising unsteadily when the car had stopped, helped the 90-year- old lady to her feet, and the two tottered along together to the hook platform. But here the conductor relieved the younger lady of her charge and helped her off, and the Listener heard her voice as the car started, shouting from the sidewalk to the younger lady, in an elder sisterly sort of tone: “Good by, dear! ’ Then the 70-year -old lady settled herself into her seat, and, smiling prettily, remarked to a lady who sat next to her: “It’s a good deal of trouble to travel with Old ladies, but, do you know, I’m very fond of them.”——Boston Transcript. ‘ small trifles A REGIMENTAL MAGPIE. His Antics Would Upset Almost Every- thing in the Army Camp. He was only a magpie, but such a magpie! At first he belonged to a private in a regi- ment out 011 the alkali plains of Nevada. Then the company adopted him as its own, and finally from the proprietorship of Com- pany B, he became the regimental magpie, only, instead of the regiment owning him, he owned the regiment. There never was a slicker, more self satisfied beast, and mischief and antics without end were on his pro- gramme. He could whistle; he could dance; he could mock anything that sings, and im- itate anything that walks; a magpie, you know, doesn’t hop, it walks, like a crow or blackbird. On dress parade it would turn out with the regiment, and follow the officer of the day 11p and down the line with the most dignified strut imaginable. The soldiers could haidly keep straight faces when the bird would scold the colonel as he gave his 01 deis Billy—that was his name—would occasion- ally steal, and only close and constant watch- ing would reveal his hiding places. Some- times he would succeed in caching his thefts for two or three months before detect-ion fol- lowed. Then a couple of quarts of coins, currency, stamps, buttons, pipes, tobacco, cigars, straps, thread, forks, spoons and would be unearthed. If he caught any one spying upon him he would be as crafty as a fox, and put up all sorts of dodges to throw the detective off the track. He would make false leads, fly off a mile in- the sage bush, and then sneak into the fort close to the ground, so that no one might see him. Finally the regiment was ordered to an- other post. Billy went along after much protesting and scolding on his part. He knew something was up, and hustled around after his various treasures, which he brought in from every quarter and dumped in a heap in one of the quartermaster’s wagons. Some things were recovered which had been miss- ing for over a year. When the troops marched Billy flew alongside, with numerous private excursions and picnic parties all by himself off into the surrounding country , but he wasc In a), son hand at meal times and at night. At San Francisco a ship was taken for Portland, 01‘s., and Billy came, too. He didn’t like it much, and made several trips back and forth between ship and dry land. Chinatown seemed to strike his fancy, but he finally concluded to hold f ast to his old friends. . His career came near terminating the sec- ond day out. The window of the captain’s state room was down and Billy perched on the ledge. lie watched the captain picking out the ship’s course on the chart and mak- ing calculations and entries Afterawhile the captain walked out and Billy flew in. Evei ything was handy Ho stuck his bill in the ink bottle and took a swallow. It didn’t suit his stomach as well as it did his com- plexion, and he proceeded to wipe his face on the charts. The nibs of his bill made a. very good pen and drew beautiful lines, so he tried it with another mouthful. Bee-auti- full The chart looked finer than before. He dropped a whole mouthful on the chart and walked in it. Then he walked over the table- cloth and the white counterpane of the cap- tain’s berth, and wound up by tipping the ink over, wiping his mouth out with a piece of the log book, and flying off with a pair of silver dividers. When the captain came in there was bluo lightning. The toll tale tracks betrayed the culprit. The captain grabbed down a loaded shot- gun from its brackets over the door, and started on deck swearing that he would kill the magpie on sight. When the soldiers heard his threats fifty of them grabbed their rifles, and threatened to shoot the captain if he harmed Billy. There was danger of mutiny right there, and the officers had sense enough to see it. They pacified the infuriated mari- ner, and Billy escaped. His end was untime- ly. Some months later-he got to fooling with the mechanism of a breech loading field piece, and the lever fell down on him and smashed his inquisitive head in.—lVasbington Post. A Dog Hires a Cab. Some one, writing to an English paper, tells this story of a clever dog: “You know how much I rush about in hansom cabs,” said the narrator, “and Scoti, my collie dog, always goes with me. We travel many miles in aweek together in this way, but on one occasion I was walking and missed him. Search was in vain. The crowd was great; traffic drowned the sound of my whistle, and, after waiting a while and looking else- where, I returned to my suburban home '1'itiiout my companion, sorrowful, yet hop- ing that he might find his way back; In about two hours after my arrival a hansom cab drove 11p to the door and out jumped Scoti. The cabman rang for his fare, and thinking he had somehow captured the runa- way, I inquired how and where he found him. “Oh, sir,” said the cabby, “I didn’t hail him at all; he hailed me. I was standing close by St. James church, a—looking out for a fare, when in jumps the dog. ‘Like his impudence,’ says I. So I shouts through the window, but he wouldn’t stir. So I gets down and tries to pull him out, and shows him my whip, but he. sits still and barks, as much as to say, ‘60 011, old manl’ As 1 seizes him by the collar I read his name and address. ‘All right, my fine gentleman,’ says I, ‘l'll driv e y 011 w hei o you’re wanted, I dare say.’ So I shuts the door, and my gen- tleman settles himself: with his head just a-looking out, and I drives on till I stops at this here gate, when out jumps my passen- ger, a-clearing the door, and walks in as calm as though he’d been a reg’lar fare.”- St'.

All that is necessary is to fasten two large brass or iron plates to the floor and attach them to an elc c'Iiic battery. Any person will answer £01 the man, providing he stands on one of the plates and allows evei ybody that steps on the other plate to shake hands with him, thus completing the circuit. Slate writing in theatres is done with the aid of a. confederate 01' two in the audience. The message is writ— ten 011 one side of the slate, which is carefully covered with a piece of clean, dry black rub- ber looking like slate, which fits very closely and protecting the writing from the damp rag which is passed over it to make the audi- ence think that no writing exists. The performer then steps into the audito- 1 him and asks somebody to suggest a sentence. The confederate is the fiist to respond, and his question is chosen. An answer to this is, of course, written on the slate already and carefully covered with the rubber. A board is next securely fastened to the frame sides of the slate with cord, and the performer then takes the whole affair on the stage and un- fastens the board, being careful to remove the rubber at the” same time, thus allowing the people to see the writing. All other tricks are just as simple, but 011 account of their simplicity nobody can easily catch on to the way they are executed.-—-Showman in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. , THE TREATMENT OF LINES. Booms Too High Should Be Treated nor!- zontally; Too Low, Vertically. It may be said, to the honor and glory of our younger architects especially, says The Art Amateur, that when they introduce color in the interior fitting of ahouse, they almost always produce a tolerable result, sometimes even a very agreeable one. This they do by attention to common—sense rules, by leaning to harmony of gradation rather than of contrast, utilizing the natural colors of materials wherever possible, preferring warm but broken tones of medium intensity, and distributing these in broad masses, trust- ing to the furniture and movable decora- tions to give sufficient variety, and, indeed, they usually give too much. But this sensi- ble moderation, this predilection for an har- monious and simple treatment, is not to be looked for. as a rule, in their disposition of lines. “'e have nothing to say against the plot- uresque in architecture when it arises natur- ally from the circumstances of the case, or in course of time. It may be well worth bear— ing the discomfort and inconvenience with which they are almost certain to be accom- panied, to have a striking sky line, a fine ef- a." HORIZONTAL TREATMENT OF LINES, To GIVE 'riin EFFECT OF LowniiING .1 Too HIGH CEILING. feet of shadow, or a lot of romantic associa- tions. But some of those things can hardly be had to order, and an attempt to imitate the accidental picturesqueness of old country dwellings is likely to result in anything but the wished for effect exteriorly, while in the interior, in addition to the various sorts of discomfort which it entails, it has led to an entire disregard of proportion and of the ex- pressiveness—when properly managed d—of architectural lines. The owner of a modern cottage, or even of an expensive residence, is as likely as the occupant of the most ordinary house to be troubled about what to do with his ill pro- portioned and badly arranged rooms. Some- thing can generally be done, though in the former case a satisfactory cure is often llll' possible. Usually the difficulty is that the room Ir; too high or too low, too long 111' too narrow, and these faults can easily be rem- 1:1iied when they are not complicated by irregular jogs and bays. by window and door casings of unequal height and similar unlooked for results of the modern architect’s plan of working from the outside in. In deal- ing with these complications their victims must. rely on their own ingenuity: but the rieiter obstacles ov 01 come it may be found possible to 111111191113 lesson (11 , if11ot.io beai' with them.-\1 few typical (.r'ani'iles w ill help us to u111le1'.;ta111i ihe pi inciples involved Take ihe case—very common in modern houses—of a room being too high for its floor space. The obvious thing to do would be to piovido it with both f1 i010 and dado, 111111 to make both of e: 'reptional depth. But perhaps the builder has alieady put in a dado of the 19111111: height as in other low- studded rooms, and the chances are that he has made doors and windows so high that a. deep frieze is impossible. He may also have aggravated the difficult y by fixing over the mantel a tall mirror reaching to the cornice; still, there is no need to despair. The prin— ciple to act upon remains the same. It- is to multiply and accent the horizontal lines, to subdue and cfl'ace some of the perpendicular ones. Thus, if the cornice should contain a row of tall palm fronds, in the Empire taste, one should abstain from picking them out with gold, or otherwise drawing attention to them; but the longitudinal moldings, in- stead, should be so distinguished. The narrow frioze may be decorated with oblong panels or may have a running or- nament whose curves approach the hor- izontal. Sofas and other oblong pieces of furniture may be disposed where they will do the most good, and the current fashion of decorating portieres and .heavy window curtains with broad horizon- tal bands may be followed with advantage. The effect of the tall mantel and mirror may be neutralized in part by treating the frame of the latter differently from the mantel it- self, rcgilding it, for example, and by cover- ing the mantel shelf with a deep lambrequin. The paper should be of a diaper pattern. In the opposite case, all this should be reversed. The figures on the wall paper should be dis- posed iii vertical stripes; the frieze should be omitted 01 made vei y 11111 1' ow; no horizontal bands should l1 1 allomed on the curtains, '1. 1111.11 should hang in straight folds; sofas s VERTICAL TREATMENT OF LINES, TO GIVE AP- PARENT INCREASE or RIGHT TO A 1100M. should give way to chairs, and any paneled article of furniture that may be introduced should be chosen for its height and the height of its panels. The two accompanying illustrations show- ing the same wall differently treated, explain the principle on which all these suggestions are based; but the much pleasanter appear- ance of the second should teach us that it is well that vertical lines should dominate. Any too great insistence on the horizontal lines is sure to give an impression of acrush-- ing force overhead. It. will sometimes hap- pen that a single bold stroke, the introduc- tion of one conspicuous horizontal, will suf— fice to correct the bad proportions of a high ceiled room. But violent contrasts are dan- gerous; a few objects bounded by graceful curves, or of shapes approaching the square, will be desirable to obviate them. A Luxurious Lounging Place. A divan made out of a packing box, cush- ioned and draped with a Bagdad curtain, or one of grandmother’s blue and white cover- lets, is, if filled with plenty of soft pillows, a. most luxurious lounging place, and discounts , the cabinetmaker's best effort by half, that is, if comfort and economy are considered. 11.
