"When you can hhow 100 greenbacks bko that I'll part with my daughter." "All right, go,l bye." "Where are you going?" "West." "UM bless you. Good bye" And s- tliey parted, and so lightly did tho old nmn think of his harsh treatment, that listening to the drono of tho honey bee in the rose tree out- side he fell n.deep, h;3 arm resting uin tho window Pill, tlio envelope contain- ing tho 1 bill in his hand. Meanwhile (Jeorge had hurried to the try t ing-plac- down at the stylo in the me;uhnv, and had told Esther his story. When she lizard that he w;is going far uwny from her tho girl burst into t an. "EsthiT, Edlu r, don't cry, can't you bo tine io me until I come back?" "I c m and will," wai the passionate reply. Promise it!"' "I promise It o'.i my life." The idiadrs of the summer evening were closing In as (Jorge Stanley stood at tho iloor of the cottage which had been his home, nr.d l ei I his mother in hi 4 arms. Scarcely were the last farewells spok- en when tho garden gate clanged and, the comtablo of the village strode up the patlu "fieorge," the man said i egret fully "I must arrest you." Mrs. Stanley uttered a low cry but tii! young man laughed. "1.4 thU home Joke, Mr. Hardy?" he cueu, "arrest mo tor w hat? "1'or theft." "Theft of what:" "Of .if UK) bank note." "From whom?" "Farmer Dana," "Merciful Heaven! I " "Mr. Dana says you are the only person who knew he had the note in his possession and that after you had called upon him he fell naif ep, when he awoke the note was gone. "Why should he accuse me?" the young man cried Indignantly. T.eciuse an hour after you left the farm you purchased a ticket for Nevada witna fiw bill. "Hut the money was mine." "Ah. but Mr. Dana baa Identified the bill as his. I'm afraid, George, you must come to the lock-u- p with me un- til you havo an examination." I.ikoaman he faced tho disgrace and was cool and dignified until he was dismissed on the following day, tho evidence against Mm not being M enough to condemn him. So he went west with a heavy heart, to s.Tk his fortune, knowing that out of his life long friends Esther and his mother alone deemed him guiltless of the g dling charge against his name and honor. A year went around, and It was al-- ready the upringtime of another, and Ks her prayed day and night for welfare of her absent lover. The oS? harpy moments of her life she eat with V" J,"?.ue" talked of George. ClU"iey ana Oh how happy the poor might have been could he have heaJd fWVTe? talk of knowr! depth of their trusting affiuSS? Returning one afternoon from thi cottage Esther met her father he 1 verande r. "Jthcr," the old man said -- I want to speak with yoo. I have decided to overhau the old house, furnish it a bit and lay In a new stock of furnf. ture." . Lsther glanced up in surprise, "I don't see the use of It," she re-- turned. "Don'tyou. sis?" with a sly wink. "Do you think the old place Is fit for the richest girl in Mayviller? "My wedding, father?"' Esther gasped. "Certainly, why not? I have alwavs thought Dr. Hell was sweet on you and lo-ua- ne asiceu me for you. I could not le Letter pleased to " "rather, hush, I cannot marry Dr. Hell." "Why not?" "Hecause I can never love him!" "Oh. that's all right. In the mean time I'll have tho carpenters round in the morning and have them throw out a in the sitting room." And with a jovial laugh the old man sauntered down the steps. upm ner cnamoermai mgut Esther stood at the window and raised a pale tear-we- t face to the stars. "I will die first," she murmured res- olutely. "I will be true to George and will not break my promise." Hright and caily the following morn- ing she appeared at breakfast, and though her father eyed her keenlj, he never mistrusted the conflict she had been waging through the previous night. With a shudder of horror Esther hoard the carpenters begin work at the sitting room window, and while her father stood in front of the house plan- ning some alterations with the archi- tect, she lied to her room to read a let- ter she had long ago received from George. Scarcely had she commenced reading when a rap came upon the door, and on opening it Esther encountered the "Miss Esther," the girl said, extend- ing something in her hand ; "the car-lente- found this as they were tear- ing away the mop-loar- d under the sit- ting room window." Esther took the object, uttered a wild cry and darted down the stairs. "I ather, father, look!" she screamed, "deorgo is innocent! With a puzzled air the farmer took the dirty envelope and with trembling fingers extra. ted a mildewed note for I1U0. "Slipied out of my fingers and into the pesky hole," ho gasped. "What would I give if the poor boy was here now ! I'd give him to you without one cent for the wrong I havo done him!" In his bewilderment the old fellow did not notice the stir beside him, and when he raised his eyes at last there stood ueorge btanley. l our wish is granted,' the young man said, "the boy is here but not lKor. There are the bills you wanted to see before I claimed Esther. Hut Farmer John pushed the prof fered wallet aside and faltered broken ly: "Say no more alout it, George, take her, she is yours, and may Heaven for- give me and bless you both. See here Mr. What's-yer-nam- e, I want you to get through with these improvements in double-quic- k time for there's to be a wedding here next week." A Spider Draws up a Mouse by the i an. tthaueii (KM Slau.UnL A very curious and interesting spec tacle was to be seen on Monday after noon in the oflice of Mr. P. C Clever's livery stable in this city. Against the wall or the room stands a tolerably tall desk, and under this a small spider. not larger than a common pea, had constructed an extensive web reaching down to the tloor. t about 11::0 o'clock Monday fore noon it w;is observed that the spider had ensnared a young mouse by passing hiaments of her web about its tail. When first seen the mouse had its hind feet oft the floor, and could barely touch the floor with its fore feet The spider was full of business, running up and down the line, occasionally biting tne mouses tail, making it struggle desperately. Its efforts to escape were unavailing, and the slender filaments alout its tail were too strong for it to break. In a short time ii was seen that the spider was slowly hoisting Its victim into the air. By two o'clock in the afternoon the mouse could bare ly touch the floor with its forefeet; by dork the point of its nose was an inch above the floor. At nine o'clock at night the mouse was still alive, but had made no sign except when the spi- der descended and bit its tail At this time it was an inch and a half from the floor. The next morning the mouse was dead and hung three inches from the floor. The news of the novel sight soon be came circulated, and hundreds of peo- ple visited the stable to witness it The mouse Is a small one. probably less than half grown, measuring about one and one half inches from the point of its nose to tne root or its tail. How the spider succeeded in ensnaring it is not known. The mechanical ingenui ty of the spider, which enabled her to raise a body which must weigh forty or fifty times as much as herself, has been the subject of much comment and simulation, and no satisfactory solution or tne dumcuity has been found. All agree that it is a most re markable case, and one that would be received with utter incredulity if it were not so amply attested. Neatness in Women. woman may ue nanasome or re markably attractive In various ways; but if she Is not personally neat, she cannot hope to win admiration. Fine clothes will not conceal the slattern. A young woman with her hair always In disorder, and her clothes hanging about ner as u suspended from a prop. Is always repulsive. Slattern Is written on her person from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet, and if she wins a husband, he will turn out, in all probability, either an Idle fool or a drunken ruCln. The bringing up of daughters to be able to work, talk and act like honest, sensible young women, is the special task of all mothers, and in the Industrial ranks there is Imposed also the prime obligation of learning to respect household work for its own sake, and the comfort and hapiness it will bring in the future. House-wor- k is drudgery, but it must be done by somebody, and had better be well than 111 done. Mr. Falrchtld, the United States minis- ter to Spain, was among the guests at a state dinner given In Madrid by the mar- quis of Northampton, who heads an em- bassy aent to confer the Order of the Gar- ter on King Alfonso.

Wilmington (Del.) New. Peninsula people have been seeing ghosts and Supernatural objects with alarming frequency during the past tnree weeks. The first Instance of things heavenly having been seen comes from lloyal Oak, Md. A little girl, some three weeks ago, living in the village, &aw"hf-te- r nightfall, before the moon was fairly up above the horizon, whole platoons of angels slowly marching and countermarching to and fro in the clouds, their white robes and helmets glistening with a weird light At in tervals the heavenly visitors would dance mournfully, as if to the sound or unseen music and certainly unheard music. She rushed into her parents, and declared that the heavens had bee a spread and portrayed to her vision sights somewhat premature, as re gards time, and then sank down in affright. Her father, to satisfy his doubting mind, .went out and was re warded with a sight of the unearthly spectacle. The news of the mystery quickly spread from mouth to mouth, from house to house, and in an incredi- bly short space of time the Inhabitants were out en masse, gazing in open-mouth- ed astonishment, while the white-robe- d hosts, seemingly offended at the immense amount of genuine as- tonishment and wonder they were un- earthing, slowly faded from sight, leaving Royal Oak a firm believer, from the little girl who was first on the spot, to the 'squire in his little ofice behind the church, in ghosts and winged goblins. But the phenomena seem to have been especially manifest in Sussex county, Delaware. Monday night, two weeks ago, Wil liam West, a farmer living near George- town, the county seat, saw, at a time almost identical with the appearance of the vision at Royal Oak, bands of sol diers of great size, equipped in dauling uniforms, their musket steels quivering and shimmering in the pale weird light that seemed to be everywhere, march- ing with military precision up and down unseen avenues, and presenting arms at the sound of unheard com- mands. The vision was of startling distinction and lasted long enough to be seen by a number of "West's neigh- bors, who, after the unearthly military uaa taken its departure and been swallowed up in thin air, retailed the strange story to their eager friends, who had not been so fortunate as they. But strangest of all, a man named Coverdale, who was driving through tne country along a lonely road at the same time, being then several miles away from West's house, and in an en tirely different direction, saw to his astonishment and alarm the same band of soidlers In their faultless uniforms. Many people living near Laurel, many miles away, situated in the lower end of the peninsula, saw tho same extraor dinary phenomena at the same time, A few go as far as to say, in spite of the ridicule of their associates, that they distinctly saw in the midst of the soldiers, and conspicuous by reason of nis size and commanding presence, the hero president himself, pale, but with his every feature distinctly and vivid ly portrayed. There is no doubt of the fact that there were many who thought they saw Garfield in the clouds. In Talbot county the illusion was seen by numoers. a iarmer living near Claras l'oint on going out into hi3. yard after dark saw, as he related it afterward to his neighbors, angels and eoldiers marching side by side in the clouds, wheeling and going through every evolution with military precision, and absolutely life-lik- e and natural. At the Old Home. Major Swain, who was so closely con nected with the late president, describes the arrival of the bereaved family at the old home in Mentor. "We accom- panied Mrs. Garfield, Grandma Gar field, the children and Private Secre- tary Brown, to the old homestead at Mentor on Tuesday. We were met at the depot by the Rudolphs, Mrs. Gar- - ueid s relatives, and were accompanied quietly to the homestead. When we came in sight of the old, familiar spot, Mrs. Garfield was quite overcome for a moment, but soon recovered her com- posure and entered the desolate home. Gen. Garfield's study remains just as he left it, and one of the sorrowing widow's first steps was to go into the room where she had spent so many r nappy nours. one is graauaiiy re covering from the effects of the blow "Mrs. Garfield said It was too early to indicate where she will reside, but she will spend her summers at Mentor. In the winter season she will spend part of the time with her relatives in Cleveland where she will le near her husband s remains, and part of the time in Williamstown, Mass., where she will be near her eldest boys. Harry and Jimmie, while they are in attend ance at Williams College. The boys will leave for Williams College on Fri day night or Saturday morning of this week. Grandma Garfield in the future will make her home with Mrs. Gar- field. Wherever the bereaved wife goes the sorrowing mother will go. The aged grandmother is very frail. and will spend her last days with the family or her dead son." The Pay of Teachers. The Rutland (Vt) Herald and Globe says very wisely in regard to the pay of teachers : "The low wages that ad- mit of no savings, if the teacher has a family, is the blight upon a profession that contains within its exercises more possibilities for good, in . multiplying tne Dest mannooa and womanhood through the unceasing manipultation of character in its pintle immaturity, than even the pulpit, for the teacher comes into closer contact with the growing youth of the country than even the parent. Three-fourt- hs of tne leacners wno serve xor meager wages have no call to their profession, for the very reason that they take no permanent interest in It; they never expect to foUow it for a g, so they cannot give it the necessary pains, the essential enthusiasm; but once let it be understood that goad work and excepa tional gifts for teaching are sure of a reward that did not by its meagerne3s compell celibacy, or the domestic econ- omy of a church-mous- e, and more men or exceptional . tact, talent and manhood would follow teaching for a ENGLAND AND AMERICA. A Tendar Tributa to the rVimmnn. wealth of Enrlish-Srjeaki- n- Pea. pie. rail Mall Gaze.te. To-da- when England and America stand as mourners by the grave of President Garfield, we may venture to hope that the bitter memories and the dividing animosities engendered by the Revolutionary war of last centurv have finally died away. Never since tne declaration or Independence have the two great English speaking na- tions been so united in sentiment as they are to-da- nevei in the history of the world has an event apparently so slight served to demonstrate a sym pathy and an affection so deep as that which has been revealed by the presi dent's death.. For a hundred veara England has had to pay the penalty of the folly of her obstinate monarch ; but at last it would appear that the expia- tion is complete, and in sentiment the old country and the new are united by ties as deep, as tender, and as strong, as if the tea had never been thrown in- to Boston harbor, and the echoes of the Concord fight had never reverberat- ed round the world. The time there fore seems to have fully come when both nations will do well to consider whether it would not be right and ex- pedient that the reapproacliments so happily accomplished between the peo- ples should now be accompanied by a corresnondinir chancre in thn rr" .'inns of the governments, nd that Enf md and America, already one in si ft. snouia oe united more closely in a litical sense. There is a United Kine. dom and the United States: but th union of English-speakin- g people, vast enough to include both the mother country and all the commonwealths with which she has strewn the world, has still to be achieved. No sane man on this side the Atlan- tic desires to undo the work of Wash- ington and the other heroes of the Revolutionary war. Even those in whom "imperial instincts" swell most largely would resolutely refuse, even if it were urgently tendered, the sover- eignty of the United States. The grown man does not return to his cradle, and America has long since at- tained a maturity which would render grotesque the idea of a return to the nursery of nations. It would be just as reasonable that the United King- dom should seek admission into the federal union of the American states as that the United States should be subordinated in any way, no matter how nominal, to the sceptre of our sovereign. Nor would any wise man seek to multiply the points of friction between two nations. Gobden's say- ing that international good feeling was best secured by a maximum of inter- course between the peoples and a mini- mum of communications between their rulers, contains much sound sense; and any political union that involved the slightest interference on the part of one government in the affairs of the other should be ipso facto ruled out of court But it may not be impossible to give some visible and tangible shape to the real but invisible union between England and America, the evidence of which this day ir- radiates with a new hope the hearts of the mourners, who in two continents attend in spirit the funeral of the murdered president. If James Gar- field had been ruler of the British em- pire, he could not have been more sin cerely mourned by Englishmen, and there have been many rulers of the British empire whose decease has failed to awaken one-tent- h part of the keen and lively sympathy which has found expression on this occasion. Nor is it true, to say that the impulse wuicu cioses our exenanges tms ai ter-noo- n is a mere sentimentalism which is certain to disappear like the mist of the morning. The stock exchange is not exactly the chosen home of senti- ment, nor could any mere passing gust have stirred to the depths a people so reserved as ours. This outburst of brotherly feeling no one calls the Americans "cousins" now is but the outcome of a long process which is now nearly complete. The death of Abra ham Lincoln began the work ; the death of James Garfield crowns it Year by year the ties between the two peoples have been silently multiplying before our eyes. The great ocean ferry has so bridged the Atlantic with its innu merable steamers that a ceaseless stream of passengers cross and recross between the sides of "the ditch " and feel equally at home on both. English looms were always supplied from America; but it is only within the last few years that England has began to be fed from the prairies of the west Our home farm is but of small extent compared with the broad acres which are cultivated for us by men of English birth across the Atlantic Never in tne nistory or mankind have two nations of common origin, laws, litera ture, and language, had so many inter-est- s in common and been so closely and mutually dependent without aspiring to convert into a political reality the union wnicn Denas tnem into one. When we asked what closer political tie can be forged than those which al- ready exist we may reply by asking what political tie may be established between Canada, Australia, and South Africa when they attain their majority and are no longer content to accept a governor nominated in Londen, or to refer the'r disputes to the abitrament of a colonial minister, who is often ienor ant of their history, and almost always unpenecuy miormea as to me facts on which he has to decide ? No one will deny that a time will come when these colonies will aspire to complete inde pendence; but it is equally indisput- able that no Englishman can regard such an eventuality without the deep- est feelings of regret and sorrow if the seedling commonwealths which we nave planted all over the world should, on attaining their maepenaence, not mainmn some connection- - with the motherland across the seas. Empire in the old sense or the word is impossible. Our colonies already are all but emanci pated from the tutelage of Downing ouc;b. 4. icm wax, wuicu wouia ex- pose them to the attacks of an enemy's cruisers in a quarrel In which they were not interested, and on which they had never been consulted, might pre- cipitate a change which sooner or later is inevitable. What then, is to be done to retain in fraternal onion the ocean- - severed, seii-goveri- communities of blood? Every one will ad mis, at least, tne desirability of pro viding some silken tie sufficiently loose and elastic to allow the utmost freedom to individual development, but strong enough to convey a sense of unity, and to provide against the contingency of internecine war. All that we suggest is that England and America should now attempt to ar- range some such informal union as England and Australia will have to discuss, say, in the lifetime of the next generation. Even in Europe, where alien nations, with rival religions and civilizations, and full of the savage memories of forgotten wars, regard with undisguised hostility the status quo, the necessity of providing some such mollis vicendi and mutual co- operation, is recognized by the exist-eac- e of tne European concert in the strengthening and development of which lies the most promising hope of peace in the old world. If a European concert, in spite of all but insurmount- able difficulties, is recognized as a po- litical necessity for Europe, why should there not be an Anglo-Americ- con- cert wide enough to include in one common fatherland all English-speakin- g men? That concert exists to-da-y, morally. Why should it not be per- petuated and preserved by the creation of a political arrangement conceived in the spirit of this hour of international sympathy and communion? Concern- ing the methods by which this may best be realized, it is not necessary to speak to-da- Sufficient for the pres- ent is it to express the ideal toward which the eye3 of the English-speakin- g races here and beyond the sea should steadfastly bo turned. Health of Swine. TheDepartment of Agriculture has ssued a pamphlet on "American Pork," giving the result of its investigation concerning trichinaj and the diseases of swine. We make the following extracts from it: The hogs of Illinois and Ohio, and douptles3 of other Western States, are of various improved breeds, mainly high-grad- e Berkshires and Polan Chinas, and are unsurpassed for purity a by the hogs of the best British fancy breeders. Tne pigs are generally farrowed in April and May, and as soon as they are able to do so, are allowed to follow corn-fe- d cattle, with the range of grass pasture and pure-runnin- g water during the summer and fall. When not following corn-fe- d cat- tle, the pigs are fed with corn until the spring grass and their age make it possible for the animals to subsist and thrive on gras3 alone. Formerly hog-killin- g was all done in the winter, and the farmers consequent- ly had a special season for preparing hogs for market, but now that summer-killin- g, especially in Chicago, has attained proportions nearly as large as the winter-killin- the farmer can find a market for his hog3 at any time of year, and has only to consult his con venience a? to the time of fattening, being sure of finding a market when- ever he has a carload ready for' trans- portation. When the hog reaches the age of six months or more and it is previous to this age, and while he has no present marketable value to the farmer that the most of the deaths from 'hog chol- era" occur he is put into pens and well fed upon corn and given access to pure spring water. Should the hog be attacked with "cholera" during this period, he is immediately seperated from his fellows, and the disease being fatal, the dead animal must be disposed of by burial or utilized as a fertilizer. The disease effects the hoz suddenly. As Dr. Stet son observes, "it destroys life at once and adds that "it is impossi ble to make good meat of such a hog, by any process, decomposition setting in before the death of the animal, in most cases." It may, in fact, be stated as beyond a doubt that all rumors or reports that American hogs dying by disease or even by accident, ever entered upon any market in the shape of meat or lard, are founded wholly upon ignorance or malice, for it is not in the power of the hog-me- curer or the lard refiner, whatever hi3 inclination, to utilize the meat of hogs which have died of cholera, in any edible form that could pass the mo3t superficial inspection. A Conscientious Girl's Sacrifice. The following story is told of a two- - story brick house in the suburbs of Boston, whose doors and windows are nailed up, and which has never been occupied: "Nearly thirty years ago a young man built it for his bride, in tending to mortgage it and pay for it gradually, as his worldly goods in creased, to all of which she agreed. When the wedding day was appointed, the trousseau ready, and the house finished, he took the lady out from Boston to inspect it After going over the house he presented her with a deed of it for a weddiug gift . Knowing his circumstances, she was astonished that he had actually paid for it He ex plained that buying a. ticket in lottery, he had drawn the first prize, which covered the cost of the house. The Puritan maiden protested she would not take a home obtained by gambling, and refused the deed. His arguments were of no avail; she re- mained obdurate. When they left the house he locked the door and threw the key into the brook near by. The next day he boarded up the windows, and only the spiders and mice have ever occupied it The man never married he became rich, but Is a wanderer on the face of the earth. The woman never married she is still living, poor ana invalid. Mrs. Fiske's Will. - There were fifty-fiv- e different be- quests in the will of Mrs. Willard jfiske, or Ithaca. Eight of $2,000, two of 13,000, sixteen of to.OOO. four teen of $10,000. one of 115.000. four of $25,000, one of $40,000, six of $100,- - uw, one or rW.UOO, and one of $300,-00- 0. making a total of $1,497,000. It is thought in Ithaca that the grand house she was buildinsr will eo to Cornell university, coming in as a part of the residue, which is given to the library fund. It is believed Jjer bequest to tne university may amotmt to $500, 000. The $40,000 to establish a hos pital lor stuaents is esjiecially com- mended as a thoughtful rind beneficial bequest as many stud aita living In distant parts of the country have suffered from poor cajg when ta&en suddenly m at Ithaca THE SLIM TEACHER. How He Managed the School at Cran- berry Gulch. Baa Frasciaco BalleUa. "Mister, no doubt you have all the iearnin' that's required in a school teacher, but it wants more than Iearnin to make a man able to teach 'school in Cranberry Gulch. You'll soon find that out if you try. ; We've had three who tried it on; One lays there in the graveyard; another. lost his eye; the last one opened school and left before noontime for the benefit of his health. He hasnt been back since. Now you're a slender build, and all your Iearnin' will only make It worse, for all our young folks are rough and don't stand no nonsense." This was what one of the trustees of the district said to my friend Harry Flotoe, when he made application for the vacant position of teacher. Let me try. I know I am slender but I am tough and , have a strong will," said Harry. "Just as you like. Theie's the school house, and I'll have the notice given if you want it done," said the trustee. "I do, said Harry, "and IT1 open next Monday at 6 a. m." The notice was given and there was a great deal of excitement in the gulch and along the Yuba flats. More than fifty young people of both sexes made an excuse to drop into the tavern to get a sight at the fellow who thought he could keep school in that district, and many a contemptuous glance fell on the slender form and youthful face of the would-b- e teaqher. Eight o'clock on Monday morning came, and Harry Flotoe went down to the school with a key in one hand and valise in the other. "Ready to slope, if he finds we're too much for him," said a cross-eye- d, broad-shoulder- fellow of 18. The school house was unlocked and the new teacher went to his desk. Some of the folks went to see what he was going to do, though school was not called." Harry opened his valise and took out large belt Then, after buckling it around his waist he put three Colt's revolvers there each six barrels, and a bowie knife eighteen inches in the blade. "Thunder!" he means business !" muttered the cross-eye- d chap. The new teacher now took out a square card about four inches each way, walked to the other end of the school house and tacked it up against the wall. .Returning to his desk he drew a revolver from his belt, and quick as thought sent ball after ball into the card, till there were six balls in a spot not much larger than a silver dollar. By this time the school house was full of big boys and girls. The little ones were afraid to come in. Then the teacher walked half way down the room with a bowie knife in his hand, and threw it with so true a hand that it stuck, quivering, in the center of the card.

The other evening the Jester was Datning nis eyes in cold water, and suspended the operation long enough to remark: . "If a woman can't take her parasol to heaven when she dies, she wont be happy there. She will come pack after if An impressive quiet followed this dogmatic statement, and the parasols of the court knew some of them were in for it. "We were driving this afternoon," the aggrieved Jester resumed, "and the princess kindly shaded my head with her parasol. It was very kind, . indeed. It limited my view of the country, at times, to my knees and the dashboard of the wagon. Whenever we met a team, especially if the road was very narrow, the princess lowered her parasol between myself and the pass- ing wagon, so that I turned out by faith, or stood on my head to catch a glimpse of the eollUing wheels. When we started down a steep hill she drop- ped the parasol between me and the horses, and I trusted to the good sense of the animals to keep out of the ditch. When we met any acquaintan- ces to whom I wished to bow, she knocked my hat into my eyes. When she would point my admiring gaze to some exquisitly tinted autumn leaf, she jabbed a projecting parasol rib into my eye. When she turned to speak to any one in the rear seat she rasped the back of my neck. Oft as the carriage struck a stone or lurched over a rut, she prodded my g head with vicious little jabs, I drew my head down between my shoulders and sat crouched and bent, but the remorseless parasol still pursu- ed me. I have been pelted and rasped and prodded, and all from a mistaken sense of kindness. A woman's un- selfishness and kindness of heart always prompts her to hold her parasol over the man who drives. And if the man who drives is allowed to choose for himself, he will choose sunstroke in preferance to the parasol every time. I do not complain, mind you, I merely make a simple statement of plain fact. Any man who has had to drive a pair of horses while some gentle-hearte-d woman held a parasol over him knows what 1 have suffered. And when she holds an umbrella it is infinitely worse, Then the man is utterly and hopelessly extinguished, and the material world is to him only a wild, blank chaos of alpaca and whalebone," Badly Trained Husbands. Mrs. Craik, nee Mulock. How many unhappy girls have paid dearly for the upbringing of raeir young husbands, who, the first glamour of love passed, treat their wives as they were allowed to treat their sisters, and as they saw their fathers treat their mothers, carelessly, disrespectfully, with a total want of that considerate tenderness which is worth all the pas- sionate love in the world. This, though they may pass muster outside as excel- lent husbands, never do anything really bad, and possessing many good and attractive qualities, yetjeontriving some how quietly to break the poor womanly heart, or harden into that passive ac- ceptance of pain which is more fatal to married happiness than even tem- porary estrangement Anger itself is a safer thing than stolid, hopeless The best husbands I ever met came ou a family where the mother, a mOSt UOrOlC antt Woman, aid down the absolute law, "girls first" Not in anv authority, but urst to oe thought of, as to protection and tender- ness.

There are 17,000,000 males and females in the United King- dom. Thirty years ago it cost Massachu- setts $4.81 to educate each child; now its costs $13.55. Many tanners about Sand mountain, Alabama, say their crops are far above their anticipations. The mountains of eastern Kentucky are fall of speculators in search of coal mines and fine timber. The pearl excitement has died out at Murfreesboro, Tenn., but dealers art yet buying all that are being offered. farmers are making more money this season, at present prices, than at any time for years past. The heroes of Homer's time used after meal to wipe their hands on a piece of bread and throw it to the dogs. There is being erected in New York a borne for the aged and infirm Hebrews. The cost is to be $150,-00- 0. - The autograph of Martin Luther was recently sold for $150; that of Malanc-tho- n for $56, and that of Voltaire for $2,250.

A Spider Draws up a Mouse by thei an.

tthaueii (KM Slau.UnL

A very curious and interesting spectacle was to be seen on Monday afternoon in the oflice of Mr. P. C Clever'slivery stable in this city. Against thewall or the room stands a tolerably talldesk, and under this a small spider.not larger than a common pea, hadconstructed an extensive web reachingdown to the tloor.

t about 11::0 o'clock Monday forenoon it w;is observed that the spiderhad ensnared a young mouse by passinghiaments of her web about its tail.When first seen the mouse had its hindfeet oft the floor, and could barelytouch the floor with its fore feet Thespider was full of business, running upand down the line, occasionally bitingtne mouses tail, making it struggledesperately. Its efforts to escape wereunavailing, and the slender filamentsalout its tail were too strong for it tobreak. In a short time ii was seenthat the spider was slowly hoisting Itsvictim into the air. By two o'clockin the afternoon the mouse could barely touch the floor with its forefeet;by dork the point of its nose was aninch above the floor. At nine o'clockat night the mouse was still alive, buthad made no sign except when the spi-der descended and bit its tail At thistime it was an inch and a half from thefloor.

The next morning the mouse wasdead and hung three inches from thefloor.

The news of the novel sight soon became circulated, and hundreds of peo-ple visited the stable to witness itThe mouse Is a small one. probably lessthan half grown, measuring about oneand one half inches from the point ofits nose to tne root or its tail. Howthe spider succeeded in ensnaring it isnot known. The mechanical ingenuity of the spider, which enabled her toraise a body which must weigh fortyor fifty times as much as herself, hasbeen the subject of much commentand simulation, and no satisfactorysolution or tne dumcuity has beenfound. All agree that it is a most remarkable case, and one that would bereceived with utter incredulity if itwere not so amply attested.

GARFIELD'S HEAVENLY ESCORT.

Delaware People See the Late President Surrounded by Soldier's in theSky.

Wilmington (Del.) New.

Peninsula people have been seeingghosts and Supernatural objects withalarming frequency during the pasttnree weeks. The first Instance of thingsheavenly having been seen comes fromlloyal Oak, Md. A little girl, some threeweeks ago, living in the village, &aw"hf-te- r

nightfall, before the moon wasfairly up above the horizon, wholeplatoons of angels slowly marching andcountermarching to and fro in theclouds, their white robes and helmetsglistening with a weird light At intervals the heavenly visitors woulddance mournfully, as if to the soundor unseen music and certainly unheardmusic. She rushed into her parents,and declared that the heavens had bee aspread and portrayed to her visionsights somewhat premature, as regards time, and then sank down inaffright. Her father, to satisfy hisdoubting mind, .went out and was rewarded with a sight of the unearthlyspectacle. The news of the mysteryquickly spread from mouth to mouth,from house to house, and in an incredi-bly short space of time the Inhabitantswere out en masse, gazing in open-mouth- ed

astonishment, while thewhite-robe- d hosts, seemingly offendedat the immense amount of genuine as-tonishment and wonder they were un-earthing, slowly faded from sight,leaving Royal Oak a firm believer,from the little girl who was first onthe spot, to the 'squire in his littleofice behind the church, in ghosts andwinged goblins. But the phenomenaseem to have been especially manifestin Sussex county, Delaware.

Monday night, two weeks ago, William West, a farmer living near George-town, the county seat, saw, at a timealmost identical with the appearance ofthe vision at Royal Oak, bands of soldiers of great size, equipped in daulinguniforms, their musket steels quiveringand shimmering in the pale weird lightthat seemed to be everywhere, march-ing with military precision up anddown unseen avenues, and presentingarms at the sound of unheard com-mands. The vision was of startlingdistinction and lasted long enough tobe seen by a number of "West's neigh-bors, who, after the unearthly militaryuaa taken its departure and beenswallowed up in thin air, retailed thestrange story to their eager friends,who had not been so fortunate as they.But strangest of all, a man namedCoverdale, who was driving throughtne country along a lonely road at thesame time, being then several milesaway from West's house, and in an entirely different direction, saw to hisastonishment and alarm the same bandof soidlers In their faultless uniforms.Many people living near Laurel, manymiles away, situated in the lower endof the peninsula, saw tho same extraordinary phenomena at the same time,A few go as far as to say, in spite ofthe ridicule of their associates, thatthey distinctly saw in the midst of thesoldiers, and conspicuous by reason ofnis size and commanding presence, thehero president himself, pale, but withhis every feature distinctly and vividly portrayed. There is no doubt of thefact that there were many who thoughtthey saw Garfield in the clouds. InTalbot county the illusion was seen bynumoers. a iarmer living nearClaras l'oint on going out into hi3.yard after dark saw, as he related itafterward to his neighbors, angels andeoldiers marching side by side in theclouds, wheeling and going throughevery evolution with military precision,and absolutely life-lik- e and natural.

rail Mall Gaze.te.To-da- when England and America

stand as mourners by the grave ofPresident Garfield, we may venture tohope that the bitter memories and thedividing animosities engendered by theRevolutionary war of last centurvhave finally died away. Never sincetne declaration or Independence havethe two great English speaking na-tions been so united in sentiment asthey are to-da- nevei in the history ofthe world has an event apparently soslight served to demonstrate a sympathy and an affection so deep as thatwhich has been revealed by the president's death.. For a hundred vearaEngland has had to pay the penalty ofthe folly of her obstinate monarch ; butat last it would appear that the expia-tion is complete, and in sentiment theold country and the new are united byties as deep, as tender, and as strong,as if the tea had never been thrown in-to Boston harbor, and the echoes ofthe Concord fight had never reverberat-ed round the world. The time therefore seems to have fully come whenboth nations will do well to considerwhether it would not be right and ex-pedient that the reapproacliments sohappily accomplished between the peo-ples should now be accompanied by acorresnondinir chancre in thn rr" .'innsof the governments, nd that Enf mdand America, already one in si ft.snouia oe united more closely in alitical sense. There is a United Kine.dom and the United States: but thunion of English-speakin- g people, vastenough to include both the mothercountry and all the commonwealthswith which she has strewn the world,has still to be achieved.

No sane man on this side the Atlan-tic desires to undo the work of Wash-ington and the other heroes of theRevolutionary war. Even those inwhom "imperial instincts" swell mostlargely would resolutely refuse, even ifit were urgently tendered, the sover-eignty of the United States. Thegrown man does not return to hiscradle, and America has long since at-tained a maturity which would rendergrotesque the idea of a return to thenursery of nations. It would be justas reasonable that the United King-dom should seek admission into thefederal union of the American statesas that the United States should besubordinated in any way, no matterhow nominal, to the sceptre of oursovereign. Nor would any wise manseek to multiply the points of frictionbetween two nations. Gobden's say-ing that international good feeling wasbest secured by a maximum of inter-course between the peoples and a mini-mum of communications between theirrulers, contains much sound sense; andany political union that involved theslightest interference on the part ofone government in the affairs of theother should be ipso facto ruled out ofcourt But it may not be impossibleto give some visible and tangibleshape to the real but invisible unionbetween England and America, theevidence of which this day ir-radiates with a new hope the heartsof the mourners, who in two continentsattend in spirit the funeral of themurdered president. If James Gar-field had been ruler of the British em-pire, he could not have been more sincerely mourned by Englishmen, andthere have been many rulers of theBritish empire whose decease hasfailed to awaken one-tent- h part of thekeen and lively sympathy which hasfound expression on this occasion.Nor is it true, to say that the impulsewuicu cioses our exenanges tms ai ter-noo- n

is a mere sentimentalism whichis certain to disappear like the mist ofthe morning. The stock exchange isnot exactly the chosen home of senti-ment, nor could any mere passing gusthave stirred to the depths a people soreserved as ours. This outburst ofbrotherly feeling no one calls theAmericans "cousins" now is but theoutcome of a long process which is nownearly complete. The death of Abraham Lincoln began the work ; the deathof James Garfield crowns it Year byyear the ties between the two peopleshave been silently multiplying beforeour eyes. The great ocean ferry hasso bridged the Atlantic with its innumerable steamers that a ceaselessstream of passengers cross and recrossbetween the sides of "the ditch " andfeel equally at home on both. Englishlooms were always supplied fromAmerica; but it is only within the lastfew years that England has began tobe fed from the prairies of the westOur home farm is but of small extentcompared with the broad acres whichare cultivated for us by men of Englishbirth across the Atlantic Never intne nistory or mankind have twonations of common origin, laws, literature, and language, had so many inter-est- s

in common and been so closely andmutually dependent without aspiringto convert into a political reality theunion wnicn Denas tnem into one.

When we asked what closer politicaltie can be forged than those which al-ready exist we may reply by askingwhat political tie may be establishedbetween Canada, Australia, and SouthAfrica when they attain their majorityand are no longer content to accept agovernor nominated in Londen, or torefer the'r disputes to the abitrament ofa colonial minister, who is often ienorant of their history, and almost alwaysunpenecuy miormea as to me facts onwhich he has to decide ? No one willdeny that a time will come when thesecolonies will aspire to complete independence; but it is equally indisput-able that no Englishman can regardsuch an eventuality without the deep-est feelings of regret and sorrow if theseedling commonwealths which wenave planted all over theworld should, on attaining theirmaepenaence, not mainmn someconnection- - with the motherlandacross the seas. Empire in the oldsense or the word is impossible. Ourcolonies already are all but emancipated from the tutelage of Downingouc;b. 4. icm wax, wuicu wouia ex-pose them to the attacks of an enemy'scruisers in a quarrel In which theywere not interested, and on which theyhad never been consulted, might pre-cipitate a change which sooner or lateris inevitable. What then, is to be doneto retain in fraternal onion the ocean--severed, seii-goveri- communities of

blood? Every one will admis, at least, tne desirability of pro

viding some silken tie sufficientlyloose and elastic to allow the utmostfreedom to individual development,but strong enough to convey a senseof unity, and to provide against thecontingency of internecine war. Allthat we suggest is that England andAmerica should now attempt to ar-range some such informal union asEngland and Australia will have todiscuss, say, in the lifetime of the nextgeneration. Even in Europe, wherealien nations, with rival religions andcivilizations, and full of the savagememories of forgotten wars, regardwith undisguised hostility the statusquo, the necessity of providing somesuch mollis vicendi and mutual co-

operation, is recognized by the exist-eac- e

of tne European concert in thestrengthening and development ofwhich lies the most promising hope ofpeace in the old world. If a Europeanconcert, in spite of all but insurmount-able difficulties, is recognized as a po-

litical necessity for Europe, why shouldthere not be an Anglo-Americ- con-cert wide enough to include in onecommon fatherland all English-speakin- g

men? That concert exists to-da-y,

morally. Why should it not be per-petuated and preserved by the creationof a political arrangement conceived inthe spirit of this hour of internationalsympathy and communion? Concern-ing the methods by which this maybest be realized, it is not necessary tospeak to-da- Sufficient for the pres-ent is it to express the ideal towardwhich the eye3 of the English-speakin- g

races here and beyond the sea shouldsteadfastly bo turned.

Health of Swine.TheDepartment of Agriculture has

ssued a pamphlet on "American Pork,"giving the result of its investigationconcerning trichinaj and the diseasesof swine. We make the followingextracts from it:

The hogs of Illinois and Ohio, anddouptles3 of other Western States, areof various improved breeds, mainlyhigh-grad- e Berkshires and PolanChinas, and are unsurpassed for purity aby the hogs of the best British fancybreeders. Tne pigs are generallyfarrowed in April and May, and assoon as they are able to do so, areallowed to follow corn-fe-d cattle, withthe range of grass pasture and pure-runnin- g

water during the summer andfall. When not following corn-fe- d cat-tle, the pigs are fed with corn untilthe spring grass and their age make itpossible for the animals to subsist andthrive on gras3 alone.

Formerly hog-killin- g was all done inthe winter, and the farmers consequent-ly had a special season for preparinghogs for market, but now that summer-killin-g,

especially in Chicago, hasattained proportions nearly as large asthe winter-killin- the farmer can finda market for his hog3 at any time ofyear, and has only to consult his convenience a? to the time of fattening,being sure of finding a market when-ever he has a carload ready for' trans-portation.

When the hog reaches the age of sixmonths or more and it is previous tothis age, and while he has no presentmarketable value to the farmer thatthe most of the deaths from 'hog chol-era" occur he is put into pens andwell fed upon corn and given access topure spring water. Should the hog beattacked with "cholera" during thisperiod, he is immediately seperatedfrom his fellows, and the diseasebeing fatal, the dead animal must bedisposed of by burial or utilizedas a fertilizer. The disease effectsthe hoz suddenly. As Dr. Stetson observes, "it destroys life atonce and adds that "it is impossible to make good meat of such a hog,by any process, decomposition settingin before the death of the animal, inmost cases."

It may, in fact, be stated as beyonda doubt that all rumors or reports thatAmerican hogs dying by disease or evenby accident, ever entered upon anymarket in the shape of meat or lard,are founded wholly upon ignorance ormalice, for it is not in the power ofthe hog-me- curer or the lard refiner,whatever hi3 inclination, to utilize themeat of hogs which have died ofcholera, in any edible form that couldpass the mo3t superficial inspection.

A Conscientious Girl's Sacrifice.The following story is told of a two- -

story brick house in the suburbs ofBoston, whose doors and windows arenailed up, and which has never beenoccupied: "Nearly thirty years ago ayoung man built it for his bride, intending to mortgage it and pay for itgradually, as his worldly goods increased, to all of which she agreed.When the wedding day was appointed,the trousseau ready, and the housefinished, he took the lady out fromBoston to inspect it After going overthe house he presented her with a deedof it for a weddiug gift . Knowing hiscircumstances, she was astonished thathe had actually paid for it He explained that buying a. ticket inlottery, he had drawn the first prize,which covered the cost of the house.The Puritan maiden protested shewould not take a home obtained bygambling, and refused the deed. Hisarguments were of no avail; she re-mained obdurate. When they left thehouse he locked the door and threw thekey into the brook near by. The nextday he boarded up the windows, andonly the spiders and mice have everoccupied it The man never marriedhe became rich, but Is a wanderer onthe face of the earth. The womannever married she is still living, poorana invalid.

THE SLIM TEACHER.

How He Managed the School at Cran-berry Gulch.

Baa Frasciaco BalleUa.

"Mister, no doubt you have all theiearnin' that's required in a schoolteacher, but it wants more than Iearninto make a man able to teach 'school inCranberry Gulch. You'll soon findthat out if you try. ; We've had threewho tried it on; One lays there in thegraveyard; another. lost his eye; thelast one opened school and left beforenoontime for the benefit of his health.He hasnt been back since. Now you'rea slender build, and all your Iearnin'will only make It worse, for all ouryoung folks are rough and don't standno nonsense."

This was what one of the trustees ofthe district said to my friend HarryFlotoe, when he made application forthe vacant position of teacher.

Let me try. I know I am slenderbut I am tough and , have a strongwill," said Harry.

"Just as you like. Theie's the schoolhouse, and I'll have the notice given ifyou want it done," said the trustee.

"I do, said Harry, "and IT1 opennext Monday at 6 a. m."

The notice was given and there wasa great deal of excitement in the gulchand along the Yuba flats. More thanfifty young people of both sexes madean excuse to drop into the tavern toget a sight at the fellow who thoughthe could keep school in that district,and many a contemptuous glance fellon the slender form and youthful faceof the would-b- e teaqher.

Eight o'clock on Monday morningcame, and Harry Flotoe went down tothe school with a key in one hand andvalise in the other.

"Ready to slope, if he finds we're toomuch for him," said a cross-eye- d, broad-shoulder-

fellow of 18.The school house was unlocked and

the new teacher went to his desk.Some of the folks went to see what hewas going to do, though school was notcalled."

Harry opened his valise and took outlarge belt Then, after buckling it

around his waist he put three Colt'srevolvers there each six barrels, and abowie knife eighteen inches in theblade.

"Thunder!" he means business !"muttered the cross-eye- d chap.

The new teacher now took out asquare card about four inches eachway, walked to the other end of theschool house and tacked it up againstthe wall. .Returning to his desk hedrew a revolver from his belt, and quickas thought sent ball after ball into thecard, till there were six balls in a spotnot much larger than a silver dollar.

By this time the school house wasfull of big boys and girls. The littleones were afraid to come in.

Then the teacher walked half waydown the room with a bowie knife inhis hand, and threw it with so true ahand that it stuck, quivering, in thecenter of the card.

He left it there and quietly put twomore of the same kind in his belt andreloaded hl3 yet smoking pistol.

Ring the bell ; I am about to openschool."

He spoke to the cross-eye- d boy, thebully of the crowd, and the boy rangthe bell without a word.

"The scholars will take their seats;open school with a prayer," he said,

ternely, five minutes later.The scholars sat down silent! v, al

roost breathless. After prayer thefaTior nnrVaA a rvn1vr an1 nrollrorldown on the floor.

It took two hours to organize theclasses, but when done thev were allorganized.

Then came recess. The teacherwent out, too, for the room wascrowded and hot A hawk was circling over head, high in the air. Theteacher drew his revolver, and the nextsecond the hawk came tumbling downamong tne wondering scholars.

Driving With The Parasol.Burlington Bawkeye.

The other evening the Jester wasDatning nis eyes in cold water, andsuspended the operation long enoughto remark:

. "If a woman can't take her parasolto heaven when she dies, she wont behappy there. She will come packafter if

An impressive quiet followed thisdogmatic statement, and the parasolsof the court knew some of them werein for it.

"We were driving this afternoon,"the aggrieved Jester resumed, "and theprincess kindly shaded my head withher parasol. It was very kind, . indeed.It limited my view of the country, attimes, to my knees and the dashboardof the wagon. Whenever we met ateam, especially if the road was verynarrow, the princess lowered herparasol between myself and the pass-ing wagon, so that I turned out byfaith, or stood on my head to catch aglimpse of the eollUing wheels. Whenwe started down a steep hill she drop-ped the parasol between me and thehorses, and I trusted to the good senseof the animals to keep out of theditch. When we met any acquaintan-ces to whom I wished to bow, sheknocked my hat into my eyes. Whenshe would point my admiring gaze tosome exquisitly tinted autumn leaf,she jabbed a projecting parasol ribinto my eye. When she turned tospeak to any one in the rear seat sherasped the back of my neck. Oft asthe carriage struck a stone or lurchedover a rut, she prodded my g

head with vicious little jabs, Idrew my head down between myshoulders and sat crouched and bent,but the remorseless parasol still pursu-ed me. I have been pelted and raspedand prodded, and all from a mistakensense of kindness. A woman's un-selfishness and kindness of heart alwaysprompts her to hold her parasol overthe man who drives. And if the manwho drives is allowed to choose forhimself, he will choose sunstroke inpreferance to the parasol every time.I do not complain, mind you, I merelymake a simple statement of plain fact.Any man who has had to drive a pairof horses while some gentle-hearte-d

woman held a parasol over him knowswhat 1 have suffered. And when sheholds an umbrella it is infinitely worse,Then the man is utterly and hopelesslyextinguished, and the material world isto him only a wild, blank chaos ofalpaca and whalebone,"

Badly Trained Husbands.Mrs. Craik, nee Mulock.

How many unhappy girls have paiddearly for the upbringing of raeiryoung husbands, who, the first glamourof love passed, treat their wives as theywere allowed to treat their sisters, andas they saw their fathers treat theirmothers, carelessly, disrespectfully,with a total want of that consideratetenderness which is worth all the pas-sionate love in the world. This, thoughthey may pass muster outside as excel-lent husbands, never do anything reallybad, and possessing many good andattractive qualities, yetjeontriving somehow quietly to break the poor womanlyheart, or harden into that passive ac-

ceptance of pain which is more fatalto married happiness than even tem-porary estrangement Anger itself isa safer thing than stolid, hopeless
