THE FACTORY BELLE.
"So that is the factory belle, is it?"
said Mr. Pay son, the new foreman 01
the Mellendalc: works. " Well, I must
?.'onlc?s that she lias rather an attractive
face, villi her large hazel eyes and that
profusion of red-brown hair, although }
her nose isn't quite Grecian, and the
lints of her mouth are just a trifle out of
drawing."
"Humpli!" said old Solomon Gilsey,
the engineer. " She's been made much
of. Kitty Kesley has, until she's just j
spoiled. And?" # 1
Here Kitty Kesley herself camc saucily ?
up to the foreman's desk. j
" Mr. Payson," said she, tossing back 1
the cloud of red-gold hair that hung }
over her dimpled litre?"lor I suppose J
you are Mr. Payscn?" '
"At your service," said the young ?
man. with commendable gravity. \
" My machine doesn't suit me. I *
wish, you would have it changed for 1
. mother."
"Doesn't suit you?" he repeated, y
slowly.
"No," said Miss Kitty, straightening J
out the bow oi ribbon at her belt.
it the custom at Mellendale to ?
change machines at the beck and call of j
very dissatisfied damsel?" he asked, 1
still without a change of countenance. J
" My rtachiiie is always changed 1
whenever I ask for it," said Kitty Kes- j
ley, nonchalantly.
"Suppose you try :ind make it do," 1
said Mr. Pay son. " I dare say a turn of ]
a screw here, or the alteration of a ten- *
sion there, will ni:Lkp ih ?tlI riirht.. John
boe," to the packer, " brine mc that list '
ot the boxes that arc to be sent off this J

Miss Kesliy stood in indignant surprise
at this politely-cavalier treatment.
She?the spoiled beauty, the petted iavorite
of the whole establishment, whose
every whim had been humored, whose |
caprices iiuiniged?to be told to try and j
make things do! I
"You will not change it?" she said
coloring very red. !
"It is quite contrary to my rules," '
said Mr. lJayson. "That's light, John- t
son. Now 1 will look over the list with (
you.'1 <
Miss Kitty went back to her seat, in a 1
.genuine passion. J
It was Anson Payson's first day in j
the Mellendale factory, and of course it 1
proved rather a fatiguing one. :
The monrinfr, bleak and cloudy, had s
_ settled down into a good old-fashioned *
fcjnuw-storiu, before the afternoon; and '
. when at last the throb of the engines
had ceased, the whiz of the numberless *
machines was stil;, and the flock of 1
tfiris had disappeared one by one, Mr. J
1'ay son locked his desk, pocketed the 1
keys, and also sallied forth into the *
snowy twilight of the November f
night.
cut, unaccustomed as he was to tlie
Mellcndulc roads and their windings,
he soon became disagreeably aware
that he had somehow ihisscd his way.
"They told rue toturnoli at an old
stone mill," he pondered, " but I have
seen no stone mill; nor any linger-post.
1 do believe," standing still, and trying
to peer through the white wilderness of
Hying snowllukes, "tuat I am destined
to be a modern Ha be in-lhe-Woods. And
the wor?t of it all is that there are such
a number of -awkward precipices along
the edge of this woody ro id. where one
might walk off, in this half light, and
never know how he came U> his end?
Stay! luckily there is a red ljj.-hi gleaming
through the darkness. Il must come
from 3'_>me farmhouse window, and I am .
saved from my doom!" 1
But as Anson Pay son knocked at the a
door oJ the jiitlc one-story dwelling, he
lell that he was very weary, with hands
t / and feet numbed Irom the biting blast,
and garments wet through by the damp
and penetrating snow.
The opening of the door revealed a
cheerful little *' interior," which would
have done no disci edit to the pencil of a
l)uich artist -a blaze of pine logs on the
hearth, a candle burning in its brass
. . sconce, a red-and-blue ragcarpet on the
tloor, a round cherry table set- out for
supper, and a huge gray cat purring
cosily on the hearth-stone.
A tall, white-haired old man opened

after a cheery, unconventional Jashion.
"Come in, stranger?come in!" said 1
the old man. "Well, I declare, you bev E
got wet, hain't ye? Step right up to
the tire. Here's a seat! I don't seem to
. rockonise ye?not jist by sight?though r
I've* lived forty-odd years hereabout. 8
1'ou are?" c
" I am Mr. Payson, of the Mellendale 0
works." said our hero, with a sigh of
satisfaction, as he expanded his chilled ^
hands to the delicious warmth of the
blaze, and felt the subtle influence of the ^
tireiight permeating his whole frame. ?
" i)o tell!" said the old man, who had d
by this time swung a huge iron tea-ket- 8
tie to a crane over the tire. '* I've got a &
granddaughter runs a machine there.
And you re the new foreman! Board y
at Squire Ameses, don't ye? Well, c

save her all the stops I can. She's work- J
iug dretful hard lor a new cashmere f
gown for Thanksgiving; and when the *
!axes is paid, unci tae interest on the T
mortgage, and?" s
At this stage of liis remarks, the voice J
of Mr. Payson's host became inaudible, 1
i>y reason of his slow descent down the (
cellar stairs, witb the brass candlestick 1
>tiil in his hand; and the new foremau 1
was alone witb the purring gray cat, (
and tlie led shine of the flames, and the 1
deep shadows at every angle of the
room.
"Weil, grandfather, did jou think 1
was never "coming?" {
The door had opened suddenly and \
admitted a gust of lrozen air, a cluud of (
flying snow-flakes and a girl all muffled j
up in hoods and shawls. i
1 stopped at MoJlie Dean's for a pat- t
torn," said she; "and of course we had (
to talk a.little. Oh, grandfather!" with i
v. merry lausfh, as slie sat down on the (
floor to pull off lier rubber shoes, "I've r
.seen the new foreman, and he's as'hnnd- |

Kitty Kosley could not help laughing,
n spite of herself.
" Well, I suppose it's just as well to

ve'll proclaim an honorable truce, Mr.
'avson?for the present at least."
Kttty was charmine: all the evenins,

"What niU3t he think of me?" said

Perils of Alpine Traveling.
The Ozzelte de Lausanne gives a deailed
account of a recent accident on
he Jungfrau. M. Theodore Gohrs, a
;entleman from Grasburg, who pro>osed
to make the ascent of the moun- 1
ain from Grindelwald. was accom>anied
by the guides Rudi and Inabnitt.
They passed the night in the hut on the
3crgli, and set out next morning soon
ifter two o'clock. At 7:30 they began
he ascent of the upper part of the
lungfrau, intending to gain the summit
jythe Roththal Couloir, which is freluently
swept by avalanches. Their
vay lay up a steep siope of snow, surncunted
by a great wall or cornice of
ce.and traversed at its low. r extremity
>yja wide crevasse. The snow was deep
md progress difficult, and when Inablitt,
who was in front?all tbe three

Au Extraordinary Correspondence.
A correspondence with hair was once
ittcmpted between a notorious Parisan
.hief in durance vile and his comrades
>utside. A letter was sent to the
prisoner from his sweetheart, containng
merely a lock of hair wrapped in
;hejleaf of a book. The jailor did not
jonsider the souvenir important enough
;o be delivered; but in a few days there
jame a similar inclosure, and yet
mother. This aroused suspicion, and
lie governor took the matter in hand,
fle examined the leaf of tlie book; it
thnt. nf a common novel, twentv-six
ines on ft page. Then he studied the
lair and noticed the small quantity of
;lie gift. Counting the hairs, he found
hem of unequal length, and twenty-six
n number, the same as the lines on the
)a<re. Struck with the coincidence, lie
aid the hairs alon? the lines of the pane
vhich they respectively reached; beglnling
at the top with the smallest hair.
Vftersome trouble he found that the
md of each Lair pointed to a different
etter, and that these letters combined
ormed a siang sentence which informed
he prisoner that his friends were on
he watch, and that tin; next time he
eft the prison to be examined an atempt
would be imule to rescue him.

White linen lawn with black polkafor
dots, is liked plain morning dresses.
Wonlon o-nnris hnrderedon one selvage

Tamise cloth is the choice for a second
best dress for mourning, and is worn all
the year.
White flannel entirely without lining
is liked for morning wrappers by ladies
in mourning.
Plush and furry felt hats and bonnets
are among the tirst fall productions and
importations.
In the winter heavy twilled silks
promise to be worn both in mourning
and in colors.
The new metal ornaments for hats
and bonnets are large and very handsomely
finished.
A set of fabrics known as crepc cloths
have the crinkle of crepe woven in wool
of various qualities.
Bags or reticules carried on the arm
or fastened to the waist accompany
nearly all new costumes.
Cloth of gold embroidered with pearl,
garnet and amber beads, appears among
choice fall importations
Shirring is not liked lor trimming
mourning dresses; crepe especially is
not effective when shirred.
Long pile silk plush, in bright, dark
colors, tipped with white or old gold,
will be much used in millinery.
Coiflures are not quite so low in the
back as they have been, but the tendency
is to plain and flat,not fluffy, hairdressing.
Black English straw bonnets are used
now in liclit-er mourning for summer,
and are trimmed with crape and a little
dull jet.
Canton crabc and the French crape of
light quality imitating the Canton are
both used for dressy morning toilets
in summer.
A square of Bayonnaise with a fold ol
the same set on all around, or else a
wide band of crape, is tlie favorite shawl
for elderly ladies.
Camel's hair, wool armure with fine
figures, and cachemire des Indes, will
be worn through the fall and winter as
lieht morning dresses.
There is an effort to make all mourning
attire more wholesome by using less
crape, and by wearing it a shorter time
han was formerly done.
Large and finely-finished clasps, resembling
cloak ciasps, but more ornate
and jeweled, will be used to fasten the
plush strings of bonnets.

unwholesome when worn in contact
with the skin that it is now very iittle

still further enriched with pearl and
crystal bead embroideries.

is coachman's drab for the principal
part of the costume, with bordering of
shaded stripes of heliotrope and Ophelia.
The wash dresses most used in
mourning are of Scotch gingham in
tine black and white checks, of broken
bars, or else narrow stripes of two
shndes of gray with black.
Bayonnaise is used for both dresses
and shawis. It is highly commended
by modistes for lightness, its smoothness,
and its jet black hue that is not
affected by either dust or dampness.
Very sheer cambric handkerchiefs
with narrow hem, hem-stitched, and a
black initial or monogram, are preferred
to those with wide black hems
formerly used by ladies in mourning.
Very little drapery is used now on
handsome mourning dresses, as softflowing
breadths of rich materials are
in more retined taste. To keep these
skirts softly flowing they should not be
lined.
Armure silks and gros grains of demiluster
are trimmed with crape for rich
dresses for the house, but street dresses
of silk and crape are little used, the
preference being for fine wool goods for
suits.
Coametlci.
The term cosmetic rerers to every
kind of personal adornment, with the
exception of dress. It is derived lrora
a Greek word that signifies "I beautify
it has a rather wide signification,
comprehending not only carmine, pearlwhite,
etc., but pomatums, depilatories
and many other substances.
The practice of using cosmetics is of
very ancient date. It is mentioned in
several parts of Holy Writ, and a notion
of the prevalence of these substances
amongst the classic people of antiquity
may be learned from the writings of
Dvid, Martial and Juvenal.
Perfumes are closely allied with cosmetics;
their object is the improvement
of personal appearance, as well as
Lhe diffusion of an agreeable odor.
Although the consumption of perfumery
at the present day is enormous
the luxurious Greeks and Romans, at a
certain cpoch of their history, far surpassed
the modern in this respect.
A1C0I101 WilS awui'lg uiiKiiutvu IU tuuw,
their perfumes were for the most part
confined to such as had an oily basis.
Iheir value as curative agents was very
ureat; an appropriate perfume was given
to each particular organ. Palm oil
was considered good for the chceks and
breasts; balsam mint for the arms, and
wild thyme for the knees and neck.
The odor of violets was held in gnat
esteem by the Athenians. Myrrh was
a favorite with both Greeks and Romans:
besides being a constituent of
perfumed ointments, it was used in
fumigation.
The vegetable extracts are infinitely
superior to the mineral ones; but the
best cosmetics are soap and water, exercise,
air and temperance. With respect
to red paints used for the skin, the
vegetable reds alone are safe?such sis
those mad? from cochineal, Brazilwood,
etc. These are dyeing substances
and are harmless; but the mineral reds,
such as vermillion, red lead and
minium, arc poisonous, and under no
circumstances should be admitted to
the toilet.
Pearl white is a preparation of bismuth
; it is very pernicious to the skin,
and if exposed to the fumes of sulphur,
win IUIU uiiLun.
The pomatum of the present day consists
of perfumed grease, ox-marrow
and other fats. Strictly speaking, the
wurd pomatum, as applied to these preparations,
is misused. The original
composition was called pomntum from
its containing apple. Gerarde says:
"There is made an ointment with the
pulp of apples and swine's grease and
rose water wliich is used to beautify the
face and take away the roughness of the
skin, which is called in shop pomatums,
of the apples whereof it. is made." The
pomatums of the present day do not
contain a particle of apple.?Detroit Free

\ Benutitul Wedding Gift.
A curious and beautiful wedding gift
has recently been executed in this qity.
The fair recipient will have the proud
distinction of being the sole possessor of
such an ornament It consists of a solid

weight, and so constructed as to be worn
as a bracelet at will- To this chain is
suspended a large circular locket, with
gold back, crossed by a broad band of

chain of very delieato workmanship.
The locket is a unique specimen of
-X-.-. ?'--i nr
artistic jewelry; it is of crystal, seal eneraved
from the back, and painted. It
has been produced by the only artist in
this kind of work in London. The design
is extremely elaborate; on the curling
waves of a green sea, the Cambria, Mr.
Ash bury's famous yacht, the winner of
the ocean race in 1870, is coming proudly
in, her white sails filled by the summer
wind. The second object on the glittering
expanse is the " spot boat" at Sandy
Hook, its red hull, two black balls, ana
the American ensign flying from it,
forming an exquisite contrast of color.
Tn the middle distance of this sea piece
on crystal is a yacht, presumably the
Cambria's defeated rival, miles behind,
with tiny hull and speck-like sails,
while the funnel and smoke of the tug
waiting on the winner complete the design
on the left. Nothing can be finer
than the engraving and coloring of this
unrivaled specimen of the artist's skill,
and the originality of the design equals
the splendor of the gift.?London World.

vices, his friends and his enemies, his
triumphs and disasters.
The mackerel began their migration,
he learned, or at least the first were taken
by the fleet which went south after them,
in deep water, sbout sixty miles below
the capes of Delaware, early in March.
They arrived on the Maine coast about
the first of June, followed closely by the
vessels, -which were presently strune all
alons from Cape Ann to Cape Sable. Late
in September they began to work to the
southward, not schooling on their return,
and by the middle of November
hardly one would be found to the northward
of Boston buy. This, al. Iea9t, was
the habit of our American mackerel,
which were looked upon as a distinct
nation, with no affiliation with that
which comes in over the Grand banks,
spawns on the Magdalen islands, and
remains in Canadian waters all winter.
They seemed '*> come up along the coast,
and strike inshore all about the same
time, and the first notice of their arrival
was often their appearance in the weirs
on the bays and inlets.
An advance guard preceded the main
body often by a week or ten days. A
mysterious live seed, of which Middleton
could only hear that it was red, excessively
hot, like pepper, and floated in
the water, was thought to be the mackerel's
principal inducement to come into
the bays. He was passionately fond of
it, and when it was ripe he was there,
though it was a most reckless dissipation,
for it was said that it was so not

in a few hours, and it burned the hands
of the fishermen in dressing such as had
eaten it.
A multitude of smaller marine creatures
were fond of the red seed also.
The tiny pilot-fish, perhaps a kind of
fugleman for the mackerel, but more
likely his prey, like the rest, came first;
then shoals of herring, shrimp, squid,
menhaden. The round, limpid jellyfish
called the sun-squall, occurring
sometimes almost numerously enough
to sLop the way of a boat, sought it.
Woe to them all! They can siratch but
a furtive joy; the fierce mackerel follows
them up, devouring them as they
fly. The only bits of solidity in the or
ganism of the limpid sun squall arc the
lew red seeds, which it oeems not even
to have the pleasure of digesting. The
mackerel ruthlessly tears Ilia a pieces
for them, and the sea is strewn with the
remains of unhappy sun squalls.
" Did the picture stop here, how Utile
would the mackerel it of sympathy!"
mused Middleton. "And indeed, after
all this, he is not cae to call forth too
much sympathy in any event; but the
Nemesis that pursues him is terrible.

his prey, and his enemies. Now here
he is, as oue might say, a wild young
prodigal, in his laced coat of green and
silver, pursuing every mad whim and
selfish pleasure, and blinded by hid
folly to the yawning pitlalls and omens
of danger all about him. Or be may be
looked upon as a Belshazzar sort of person,
drunk with insolent pride, while at
the very moment the Mede and the
Persian are battering at the gate. Mcne,
mene, tekel, upharsin! Thou art found
a palatable article by mar** tastes, and
thou shalt be weighed in the balance.
The sinister shark is on thy track; the
porpoise lunges from the right; dogfish,
blue-fish, black-fish, from the left; the
mackerel-gull swoops down from overhead
; the solemn whale cruises in thy
wake, ready to dive below a school and
blow it into the air, and though prevented
by an unfortunate arrangement
of ttie jaws from taking in the spiendid
gulps that might be imagined, does it
iery liberal justice; and lastly comes
the great schooner of inexorable man,
mnrnhii?t fo whnm nil thfi other
enemies tire as nothing, and snares thee
in lots of live hundred barrels in a day."
A quaint apparent exception, and the
onlv one, to the universal rule of rapine
in the great procession was a little bird
somewhat larger than a sandpiper?the
sea-goose, so called. It sits over a
mackerel school, and accompanies it in
its course, whether out of an amicable
sentiment of companionship, or as a
rival for the mysterious peppery seed, is
not quite certain.?ZTarcer's Magazine.
The Chinese in New York.
The New York correspondent of the
Buffalo Courier writes as follows: The
Chinese in New York, where they become
more and more numerous very
fast, care a great deal more about money
than about religion. One of the charges
against the Chinese, by the way?that
they don't marry?is not quite true.
Some of them do marry?when they can
get white wives. A Chinaman and a
white girl went to the mayor's office the
other dav. and were made man and wife.
A short "time before another Chinaman
and a white woman, who appeared as his
wife, were in the police court to settle a
row about the name of their baby. The
taste of the white girls who take washeewashee
husbands can hardly be commended,
but the wiishee-washcc men
don't care much about the taste, I suppose,
so long as they get wives. There
is already Rome talk about asking the
legislature to lorbid this kind of miscegenation,
but what it may amount to
I cannot say. As yet thore is no sign of
a special demand for Chinese servants.
Probably not more than fifty of the 2,500
Chinese in New York are employed in
this way. I understand that some who
have tried Chinamen have been glad to
get rid of them after a few weeks. Tnere
is no particular complaint, but a sort o
general dissatisfaction.

A trench'Ylew of Americans.
Very absurd statements sometimes
appear in foreign journals about the
United States. It would be gratifying
to know what people can think of us,
afur reading such statements as nave
recently been made in letters written
from New York and published in a
daily paper of Paris called the Voltaire.
The author ol these letters represents
the people of the United States as being
wholly possessed by " the demon oi
politics and eloquence."
"First," he says, " we have Congress
continually debating; next, each of the
thirty-eight States has its two houses
doing the same; then innumerable conventions
of party delegates are beginning
to meet, in view ol the presidential
election. Keeping these facts in mind,"
he telis his readers that thev " can form
some estimate of the flood of saliva
which threatens to submerge the republic."
After this graceful introduction, heV"??
w*!ll itnnA '' a*% ii^on f ho fnro f\f
mayo uc t iu vu ?u iuvu vi vuw tvuv v*
the debates" in these numberless assemblies.
To do this he describes an explosion
which occurred in Congress recently,
when General Sparks, of Illinqis,
bounded out of his arm-chair, ran up to
Monsieur Clymer, of Pennsylvania,
thrust his fist in his face, and roared:
"'If you say the amendment is not
mine, your are a liar.'
" Whereupon Monsieur Clymer furiously
replied: 'I am above your insults,
general!'
"Explosion and tumult followed,"continues
this lively correspondent, " besides
cock-crowing, barking and mewing.
You would think you were in a
menagerie. The general is hustled out
oi the house, and the session is suspended.
{
"'Apologze! apologize!' is the gen- 1
eral cry. The session is reopened.
Monsieur Sparks offers some excases to
the assembly, on condition that Monsieur
Clymer withdraws his insinuations.
New tumult. The speaker strikes
vigorous blows with his mallet, crying,
'order!' 1
"At length the fiery general makes
up his mind. 'For heaven's sake,' he
cries, ' let us end this business. 1 with- <
draw everything; I beg pardon of
everybody; and now don't ask anything
more.' The house laughs, and the scene
ends with universal good humor."
According to this imaginative writer,
these explosive scenes do not always end
so happily, and he tells a story of two
members of the Kentucky legislature
who, after a violent quarrel in tlie
house, came out of doors, and had it
out with their lists; their fellow-citizens
forming a ring about them, and
timing their rounds. "The spectacle,"
he adds, " was pronounced by the local
journal to be ' more amusing than the
ircus of Barnum, with all his ele- i
phants.'"
He ends his letter by informing the j
readers or the Voltaire that it is a com- i
mon thing in America lor children cf :
eight or nine years of ags to carry bowie
knives and revolvers, and to kill one another
with them. To prove this he 1
gives a catalogue of eight cases of juvenile
crime, all committed within a
few days. Here is part oi the list:
1. Two newsboys of New York quarreled.
"Puff! a revolver iB heard.
One of the boys falls dead. The criminal
is eight years old." Si. Two others
quarreled; but having only?knives, the
wounds tiiey inflicted upon each other
were not mortal. "Age of the boys,
twelve." "The passers-by," adds the
writer," in both cases, remained passive
witnesses of the battle.
" In Pennsylvania a girl of eight years
tried to Hang her brother, aged live, and
when her lather objected sue addressed
him thus: 'You are an oldiool, and
I will kill you like a doe.'"
From these specimen^ of juvenile be- 1
havior, the correspondent remarks, in j
conclusion: "We can form a conception i
of what society will be in America in j
the future." C
If all these incidents were exactly i
true, the Frenchman's letter would not j
be the less false, for he gives them as representative
events, and not as exceptional
?Youth's Companion.
A War Against Uees.
The prefect of police has declared war
against the bees of Paris. A complaint
lodged against these proverbial patterns
of industry brought the fact to light
that there is one in " the capital of civilization
"who owns no less than 1,000
beehives, and as each hive is said to
contain about 4,000 inhabitants, their
owner is the sovereign of 40,000,000 of
subjects, who rob and torment their human
neighbors to an appalling degree.
Tne^e winged brigands sally forth to
prey upon the sugar boiling works with
which tUe neighborhood is studded,
and which have proved to be a most
profitable substitute for honoy-giving
flowers. The owner of one of these
sugar factories, who stands first in the
list of complainers, calculates that the
bees steal from him at the very least
25,000 francs' worth of sugar one year
with another. He has tried some experiments
with the marauders which
tend to show their powers of depredaion.
He relates, among other things
that a large glass filled with syrup and
placed in the open air was completely
cleaned out within the short space of
two hours. The workmen at those establishments
look with even more unfriendly
eyes upon the winged freebooters,
as ilicy sutler in person from their
greedtmsi. When the workman leaves
the Jaciury lie is often covered with a ?
sticky layer oi su^ar, and the watchful
bees liuuii'dlately pounce upon him and i'
turn hiut mtoatieid of pasture. In ?
short, so manv misdeeds are charced
against these busy and uselul insccts
that it is not ini probr.ble the head oi the
police will issue an order lor their ban- r:

Some Iffen'g Wires.
Three men of wealth meeting not long
lince in New York, the conversation
turned upon their wives. Instead of
inding fault with wostm in general,
md their wives in particular, each one
abeyed the wise man's advice, and gave
aonorunto his wife.
"I fell you what it is," said one of the
men, " they may say \*hat they please
iboutthe uselessnesa of modern women,
but my wife has done her share in securing
our success in life.
"Everybody knows that her family
was aristocratic, and exclusive, and all
ihat, and when I married her she had
never done a day's work in her lite; but
when W. & Co. failed, and I had to
commence at the foot ot the hill again,
she discharged the servants and diose
out a neat little cottage, and did her
own housekeeping until I was better off
again."
"And my wife," said a second, "was
an only daughter, caressed and petted to
death; and everybody said, 'Well, if he
will marry a doll like that, he'll make
the greatest mistake of his life;' but
when I came home the first year of our
marriage, sick with the fever, she nursed
me back to health, and I never knew
her to murmur because I thought we
couldn't afford any better style or more
luxuries."
"Well, gentlemen," chimed in a third,
" I m arried a smart, healthy, pretty eirl,
but she was a regular blue-stocking. She

The tunnel under the Hudson river at
New York starts Irom Jersey City, be
tween the Erie and the Delaware,
Lcakawanna and Western railroads,
and will enter New York city at the
foot of Morton street. The New Jersey
entrance to the tunnel will be tbreeq
uarters of a mile back from the river
not far from the base of Bergen Heights,
and the New York terminus will be in
the vicinity of Broadway and B'.eecker
streets, the extreme length being about
two and a half m'les. The object in
building it is to enable the various railroads
centering in Jersey Citv to land
their passengers directly in New York
without the necessity of ferriage, and to
make a direct continuous railway con
nection from New England to tbe Soutn
and West.

A Little Lore Story.
"Have you heard the story of the
Spanish maidP" is the way society people
open co.1*7' rations on the Pacific
coast this season. The question refers
to Mrs. Humphrey Moore, the wife of
the deaf and dumb artist Moore, who,
with , her husband, is uow living near
San Francisco. Mrs. Moore was born
Isabella de Cistne, the daughter of Colonel
Cistue, of Saragossa, Spain. She
is a cousin by marriage ol the ex-Queen
Isabella, and altogether of high rank.
When a little girl she became devotedly
attached to a deaf and dumb playmate,
and that she mieht converse with her
friend learned the language of the fingers.
Having grown to womanhood
Senorita de Cistue left the College of
Loretto, in Madrid, for Granada, where
ber father has a winter residence. Her
coal-black hair, lustrous black eyes and
rich olive complexion soon won her
recoznition as the beauty of the ancient
Moorish capital, and her refinement and
gentleness were themes for the local
versemakers. A few months ago the
dumb artist Moore, who had been traveling
in Europe for several years, went
to Granada to sketch some ol the scenes
made so popular in America by Washington
Irving, One day, while Moore
was in Alhambra, the senorita's robe
swept over his easel, and in attempting
to apologize the senorita's escort discovered
that the artist was a mute. The
senorita became interested at once, and
apologized in person, quickly recalling
the sign alphabet learned in her girlhood.
Moore fell desperately in love
with the senorita, and (to keep a fivehundred
page romance into the space
usually allotted to truth) the senorita
grew enamored ot Moore. They were
married in Granada, and after a tour of
Spain and the continent sailed for San
TTronpiapo.
Why should the spirit of mortal be
proud, when a four-dollar hotel clerk
can wear a bigger diamond than the
millionaire.?BtoominsjUm Eve.
