I Mary Miller came home from the factory, upon that April evening, with a light, ?|uick step. . The sky was all a jonquil glow ; the frogs were croaking in the swamp : the maples were crimsoned with their earliest banners of hlo?om; and, as she tripped along, Mary found a tuft of violets, half ...wi.. .iff/>( ,1,1.111 ?n;i!i. 1 1IV.

"The first violets always bring good luck with them." she whispered to herself. as she pinned them into the bosom ! of her blue tlamiel gown. ''Home" was scarcely the ideal realization of that poetic word to our factorygirl. She and her mother lived in the upjK-r half of a shabby, unpainted wooden j house, with the blacksmith's scolding wife and seven riotous children down stairs, and one-half of a trampled-down back yard by way of garden, where nothing ever grew but burdocks, nettles and Mrs. Miiggs* long-legged fowls. But Mrs. Miller, who had been a school-teacher once, and still retained somewhat of the refinement of her early education, had the tea ready, with a | shaded lamp and a bunch of maple bios- | soms on the table, ready for .Mary to come home. "Good news, mother!" the girl cried, lightly. "The Meadow farm is to let! [Mother, we must take it." Mrs. Miller looked dubiously at the bright, eager face, with its blue-gray eyes and fringes of yellow hair. "Can we afford it. daughter?" she said, slowly. "A whole house and a farm of forty-three acres?" ' it isn t such a very large liousc, moth er!" pleaded Mary, a3 she laid the bunch j of violets in her mother's lap?"not so | many more rooms than we have here. And we could keep two cows, and I I could sell milk and butter, and spring I chickens and eggs; and I am almost sure +v>fit Will n-iv;<lcrr< would work the farm ,> on aliares. And only think, mother, how I delightful it would be to have a home all ! to ourselves, wheie we couldn't hear Mrs. Muggs boxing Hobby's ears, or Helen shrieking with the toothache! And a little garden, mother, where we could have peonies and hollyhocks, and all those lovely, old-fashioned flowers that your soul delights in!" "3lrs. Miller's pale face softened. "It would be a great temptation, Molly," she said. ' It is a month now since old Mrs. Dabney died, said Mary. "And they say that her daughter in the city and her son out in California desnise the old farm. with its one-story house and its old red barn. So it is to let. And so cheap, too! Only a hundred and fifty dollars a year! Mother, we must take it! I'll leave the factory and turn dairy-maid. I've saved enough, you know, to buy the two cows and some real Plymouth Rock fowls to begin with, and. oh. it will be such a happiness! Sav yes. mother?do sav ves!" When Mary Miller pleaded like this, the gentle widow never knew how to re- | fuse; and the upshot of it was that they j leased the old Dabney house, and became CO-sovereiVns of the realm of Meadow j ftrm. * j It was their first night there.

"Because it's just possible that the . house may In- damp," she said, "after !$? being uninhabited so long.

Mrs. Miller uttered a little snrieK and ! grasped her daughter's arm at this moment. Mary stopped short, with an ashv pallor overspreading her cheek. For as she spoke, the door opposite had o]>ened, and a very little old woman, - silver-haired and shriveled like a mummy, | came in. and, walking across the floor, seated herself in Mrs. Dabney's very eor; jicr. An old woman dre>sed in the snuffcolored srown which Mrs. Dabney had always worn, and wearing a snuff-silk I cap, while a bag depended from her arm. "It's cold, ladies," she said, looking arountt with a deprecating air. "('old for the season of the year. And they don't keep tires at Tewkstown!"

"Ynn don't mean?" bciran the mild widow. "That Mrs. Daniel Pabney and Mrs. Everurd Elbersou let their old aunt go to the poor-house?" said Mary .Miller. "Yes, it is quite true. Mrs. Daniel leads society in San Francisco, I am told, and Mrs. Elberson is a grand lady in Bridgeport, with a reception day and servants in livery. What could they do with a half crazy old aunt, who takes snufT and talks uncertain grammar? Poor Miss Abbv! She has wandered b::c'< to her old home. She was eighty last birthday, and things are all misty and vague to her " "But what shall we do?" said Mrs. Miller, in accents of perplexity. "A crazy woman here?it don't seem just right. Molly, does it?" "I'll take tier back, after she has rested :i little, and had a cup of tea," said Mary, cheerily. "But |K*rhaps she won't go." "Oh, yes, she will," said Mary. ''Poor 3Iiss Abby! She is as gentle as a child." Her words proved to be correct. Miss Abby Dabnev suffered herself to be led unremonstratingly back to Tewkstown poor-house, where the matron read her a shrill-voiced lecture, and declared she should not be allowed another grain of snuff if she couldn't behave better. Old Miss Abby smiled deprecatinglv. "They are peculiar people here," she said. "I think, my dear," to Marv Mili e T icr, wiu\ lurj^ei sometimes x am a juuy. |?~.. But it takes all sorts, don't you see, to j make a world." The next night, however, just as Mary K-. and her mother were sitting down to tea, i Miss Abhy once more appeared, in the [g-r midst of a gentle shower of rain. "I hope I don't inconvenience anvg??.' body," she said, meekly. "But that : jjpj woman at Tewkstown has cut off mv alj&f/. lowance of snulF, and, after all, there's P? no place like home."

LN ODD WINTER INDUSTRY. Z8HXNO FOB SMELT XT MAINE THROUGH THE XOE. letliod of Catching the Delicate IJttie Fifth ? A Village of SmeltFisher* Flying llefore a Calf. A gentleman who had been fishing for melt through ice in Maine said to a sew York Thius representative: "Smeltishing through the ice does not differ uueli from the same mode of angling for >ickcrel, but the element of uncertainty s unknown in the former 9port. l ou nuy fish all (lay sometimes for pickerel tnd then be obliged to buy enough to ave yourself from going home 'skunked,' ?ut when you cut your holes in the icc md put in your lines for smelt you are ust as certain of being kept busy pulling >ut fish as you are that you bait your 100k. A smelt isn't as big a fish as a iekerel, but he's a game tighter, and here is an excitement about tending' he lines that pickerel-fishing does not reatc. The people up in Maine look ipon smelt-fishing as the sport of the ear, and they come for miles about the ountry to enjoy it. Even the Indians rom tiie far-back country tramp in to i... * -1,.-:,,,. ?v,? L<.ocnn t(l pvnrrisn I1U Villi i Hi; 111V .-vucv.. , heir skill iu hiring smelt. The tackle for melt-fishing is very simple. The line is an irdinarv stout linen cord, about four feet ong. To one end of this is attached a >ieee of lead about three inches long and lie size and sha'pe of a three-cornered ile. This is called a tile-sinker. To a wivel in the other end of the sinker is ied a pink-colored snell. made of com11011 fish-line, to which is attached a look such as is used in fishing for catish. The snell is two feet long. The kater acting on the triangular sinker, mug 011 its swivels, keeps it constantly wirlinif about, and the bait, which is an igly looking insect called the clam worm, s always in motion. Each fisherman will lave out an average of four lines, in as nanv different holes, if he seeks the cn ? _.r il.? ...wl,.,. tl>,? r>rntw)inn UYIIIUIll 1)1 llll- uuuvi nd shelter of a tent, or ' house.' as the latives call them. If lie, like ninny of he local anglers, is braving the elements nth the sole intention of extracting irotit from the catch, and dances and rots about on the ice regardless of exrancous aids to combat the wind and rost, he is likely to have ten or a dozen ines to care for, spread over an rea a hundred feet around; and f the fish are biting good he rill have but little time to think of lie cold, as he will be kept busy hauling ip his lines and keeping the holes open. "It has only been within a few years hat such a thing as smelt-fishing under helter was known. The fishermen had ither to stand out unprotected against he gales and storms that s-eni to be kept on tap' along the coast for use at any loinent or mill un their lines and go ome. To be sure, thcv could pile up rails of' ice and thatch them with pine oughs, but as it frequently is necessary i>r the fisherman to change his location nd the ice barricades could not well be ikon along, the building of them was cnerally time and labor thrown away, ly the way, that is a peculiarity of smeltshing. The fish may be biting so that ou will be kept constantly hopping from ne hole to another to land vour catch. lUddenly your 'tip-ups' will cease to in. The smelts have taken it iuto their leads that the locality is not safe for Hem. and have moved. Well, in a case f this kind, as I said, the angler would nd his ice and pine boughs useless, and e would have to desert them to hunt up j tie spot to which the fish had changed | tieir base. But one season a man named i ob Secor went up from Boston to try i melt-fishing. He tried it for a day and | roze one foot and both ears, and then j rent away. But he didn't go home. He ent to Belfast and had a heavy wooden rame. ten feet square, made by a carenter. He procured some sail canvas and overed the frame with it, having an openlgfor a door. The frame was on runners. I'licn the 'house' was finished he had it rawn upon the ice and placed over the oles he intended to fish through. Then occurred to him that he might add still irther to his comfort, and he bought small box stove, ran a pipe from out ne side of the house, started a roaring ine-wood fire in it, and, seated on a ench, fished as comfortably as if he were ) his room at the hotel watching a stovcipe hole in the floor. The house wassearcd to the ice by grappling irons. If nclt ceased biting in one spot, he simply ?osened his grapples, shoved his house long on the runners, and 'squatted' in tore favorable quarters. .

Many who take a business of smelt-fishing have lnpted the plan, and in the height of le season, a stranger going for the first me to auv of the rivers or inlets along ie coast would imagine that a small my was in camp there. "On a good day for snieit the average itch per line will be at least 100, or say, lirty pounds. The fish net the business jgler about five cents a pound, and have ready sale in the local markets. I was iving a busy time in my house. 1 had lly two holes in use, for the fish were iting so lively that I couldn't take care i imv more.

It seemed to think that I was ltting things a little too fat around lere, and it stopped at my hut, got a verage 011 my grapples, and the next istant hut. fisherman, stove and all were oving off at lively speed. The front irt of the stove?which was not much lore than a toy stove, being only two id a half feet long? dropped into one f the holes in the ice. and the whole usincss went down among the smelt. i*e were scudded along for a hundred nds, when my house came in contact ith another fisherman's house. This died a sudden halt, and 1 took advanige of it to crawl hastily out. The colsion loosened the grapples on the other ouse, and in a moment both were flying award before the wind. The gale had laved the same game with other huts, mi they were flying along over the ice i all parts of the inlet. The gale lasted >r not more than ten minutes, but a hole smelt-fishing village had been loved about one mile from its site when ended. "I believe smelt-fishing is becoming lore popular every year, and even the idies are manifesting a willingness to rave its risks and, sometimes, its hardiiips. There was a party of three ladies ( nd gentlemen from Boston camped on lie ice when I came away." A Change in Their Habits. A Senator gossiping the other night of Id times in Washington?twenty-five ears ago?said the striking change that 1 as come over Congress is in the habits f individual Senators and members. In lose days, he said, there were always very day on the floor of the House. It as not then considered disgraceful for enators and members to appear in that ' onditiou. The Senator did not say it, ' ut I think the change for the better i mst be attributed very largely to the cwspapers. When a Senator or member lakes a spectacle of himself by public ( runkenness, as still happens in rare ' uses, the fact gets printed all over the 1 Dim try. and very quickly, too. The 1 tate or district from whence the olTcnd- i r comes hears that it has been disgraced.

The importance of such < discovery as this consists not so much 1 the actual fact achieved as in the i imulus given to scientific research by 1 ie opening up of a ne?v channel of in- 1 stigation. The romance of gas tar is I 'idently far from being exhausted. In Idition to the sweetest scents, the most nlliant dyes, the most powerful disin- 1 ctiints, and even prussic acid are some 1 ' the numerous and wonderful products f its decomposition. A Congressman said he stood iu line i >r two days, and got to talk with the < resident three minutes. FASHION NOTES. ] Circle cloaks of every de'eription re- 3 main in high favor. Buttoned and Mousquetaire Suede gloves arc equally fashionable. ' The evening cloak par excellence is of cashmere lined with plush, and having a crape hood trimmed with lace. Pretty Parisian capotes are made of ; velvet applique on colored lace, with a bunch of velvet flowers on one side. The small mull of velvet, lace, plush, ' fur, and even cloth matching the capote ! in shade and material, is the latest fancy. For street wear some of the Parisian milliners have brought out exquisite little Fanchon-likc bonnets of gray Swedish kid. Neglige caps are pointed in front. One is made of gold lace and trimmed with pink velvet ribbon; another of silver lace lias bows of pale blue ribbon. Gloves thirty-one inches long in mousquetaire shape, without a single button, are made of reddish tan Suede cather, to be worn with any evening dress, either white, black or colored. A new style muff is composed of rows of falling chenille, either in black,brown or any dark color, with loops of gold or silver braid sewn on at distances beneath the falling fringe, but showing between. One of the new brocades has ground of pale buff satin, covered with an irregular lace-like pattern of lavender pink, with bouquets of flowers in petunia and iignt uiue tuns uuu iuimgu of faded green. Diamonds are now mounted to represent various flowers, which can be worn either as bouquets on the bodice and in the hair, or can be detached as single blooms when required. A necklace of pnnsies in diamonds is very handsome. Plastrons of beaded lace, especially of what is called white jet, with sleeves of the same, are worn with white dresses of satin or brocaded velvet. A full frill of three or four rows of lace is around the neck, and a bow of velvet or a small bunch of flowers fastens this on the side. The smallest screw earrings are now almost the only kind admissible with street dresses. These may be made of rubies, pearls, turquoises, cat's-eyes, or flint diamonds set in natural gold of the brightest yellow, or held by claws of platina that are strobg though too small to be conspicuous. Young ladies now wear one, two or /,f .xiorlo fiict-nnnrl in front by a dainty little colored velvet bow; also a band of velvet or cream-colored lace, with a pompon as fastening, worn toward the left ear. Some velvet bands are edged on each side with a string of small pearls, and others have tiny pearls dotted over them. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. " Professor Dudley, of Cincinnati, has found a way to plate with iridium,which will not tarnish." The earth is 74f> times smaller than Saturn, and its mean distance from us is over "01,000,000 miles.

The bitter taste which housewives often complain of in bread and biscuit, and often lay at the fault of the flour, is most always caused by the yeast being used in excess, or too large u quantity of baking powder being used or the latter being of poor quality.

Oil the trail, he follows it as silently as a shadow, for he knows he will soon come in sight of the game, either feeding or lying at rest amon the bushes. When he Bights the deer he steals to within safe gunshot. If the deer's head is turned away from the hunter, the latter, first taking aim, shuffles his foot on the ground. If the deer is lying down it springs to its feet at the sound, and wheels around facing the direction from which the sound came. If it is standing, it turns around quickly. The Apache hunter is always desirous of killing a deer by shooting it as nearly in the center of the forehead as lie can. So, when the deer turns toward him. he fires at that spot. TIiq mm is rarflv at fault, but sometimes the deer is quicker to discover the cause of its alarm than the hunter is to fire,and turns for safety in flight. An Apache's gun, also, not infrequently misses fire, and the deer flees on the wings of the wind. To permit a deer to escape after it is once discovered is something that no Apache hunter is expected to do, and it is against their code to fire the second time. The hunter, failing to kill his game at the first attempt, must run it down, and it is very rare that he fails in this chase. As the deer starts away in its flight, leaping from twenty to thirty feet at a time, the Indian drops his gun, and, with hideous yells, starts in pursuit. The deer at first leaves the hunter far behind, putting forth its greatest efforts to that end. But its trail is as plain to the Indian as a turnpike road is to a white man. and he follows. As is its nature, as soon as the deer is out of sight and sound of threatening danger, it stops and waits for developments. The sight of the pursuing hunter starts it on its way again. Every halt of this kind tells against the deer, for it is not of sufficient length to give it any beneficial rest, and at every new start it is stifTer and less active. The Indian never halts. There are runners among the Apaches who can mn for twenty-four hours without a stop, and can make their five miles every hour of the time. After the deer has run for two or three hours, its thirst prompts it to make for the nearest water. This the relentless hunter knows to he inevitable, and when the deer reaches this stage of the chase the Indian considers the victory won. There is no hope for the deer after it stops to drink, for it takes into its parched stomach all it can. Having ladened itself with this weight of water the deer is unable to take long leaps, and cannot extend its run between halts more than half the former distance. The Indian's tongue may hang swollen and white from his mouth, and his mouth be as dry as dust, and his stomach burning up with heat, but he never stops to drink. He scoops a handful of water from the stream as lie dashes across it, and carries it to his mouth, where he holds it a moment and ejects it without taking a swallow. If he is obliged to swim, he lets the water run in his mouth, but keeps it from his stomach. "After running an hour or so, after the deer has quenched its thirst, the Indian knows it is time to find some evidence of the animal's weakening. These he is sure to find along the trail, in the shape of blood spots on some rock where the deer has tumbled on its knees, or a patch of hair clinging to some sharp projection, showing that the deer's strength has failed so that it cannot turn quickly out of the way of obstacles. Now the Indian increases his speed. He knows that the deer's racc is run. In time he overtakes the deer, which is now loping feebly aiong. A yell startles it into a momentary burst of speed. Then, as if appreciating tiie met mat u were useless to prolong the race, it stops and turns with all the defiance its exhausted nature can assume, and awaits the approach of the hunter. Sometimes, however, the deer runs until it drops dead or dying in its tracks. If it turns upon the Indian, the latter keeps right on at full speed, lie knows the deer can do him no harm, its inclination to the contrary notwithstanding. He seizes it boldly, throws it to the ground with wise, and cuts its throat. Without 11 moment's delay, whether the deer is dead or dying, the Indian cuts from oehind the fore shoulder a lurge piece of meat. He sucks the warm blood from it and devours the morsel, keeping constantly on the move. If the carcass of the deer is not too heavy, he throws it across his shoulders and starts immediately for home. He does not rest a moment, for fear of becoming too stiff to i.iake the return trip. If the deer is too heavy for him to carry, he cuts out the choicest parts, hides the remainder in a secure place, and brings in the former. In this case another member of the tribe is selected to take his back track on the arrival of the hunter in camp, and briug in the venison left behind. "If a deer is young an Apache hunter ii ill run it flrvwn vvitltin ft rltRtunpfl rtf sixty miles, but they have been known lo prolong a chase for 100 miles. The course taken is always devious and circuitous, and may end within n mile or so 3f the starting place." Women as Oyster Shuckers. The female shuckers who pick out the urger part of oyster meat at the Fair Haven shops have had plenty to do the past season. There 1ms been a good demand for stock, and in some of the ;hops the people have worked overtime. The stock has been in good order, so :hat the shuckers have not had much rouble in their work. Shuckers make from six to thirteen dollars per week. ,\t the opening of the season some dealers paid three and one-half cents per piart for opening, but the general rate it present is three cents, the same as last rear. The shuckers begin work at 7 /clock in the morning and leave oil at loon, excepting on Thursday and Frilay, when they work until :t o'clock in the afternoon, the largest shipnents of the week being made on those wo days.

I It will probably be a surprising piece of news to bakers that under the laws of Pennsylvania they cannot collect a bill for the sale of bread, says the Philadelphia Item. The reason of this is that the law provides that all broad shall be sold by the pound, and that scales for the purpose of weighing shall be kept on the counter or in some other conspicuous place in all bakeries. The law further provides that unless the bread be weighed the sale is illegal and the seller I linlitn tn n find nf llilO find Costs for L'UCh offense, and that one-half of this sum shall go to the informer. The proprietor of every bakery in Philadelphia is liable to arrest, as in no case is bread sold by the pound, but by the loaf. There is a city ordinance also which directs that all oysters arriving in Philadelphia shall be sold by the hundred, and in no other way. At present all oysters on the wharves are sold by the barrel, and it is asserted by lawyers that, no debt contracted under this method of sale is legal. When it is considered that I there are not less than $100,000 worth of j oysters sold daily on the wharves and boats of Philadelphia, two-thirds of which are taken on credit, the importance of the law on this subject will be appreciated. In both the cases of bread and oysters, i says the Item, the laws arc a dead letter, ! but in civil actions they would be suf! ficient to nonsuit the claimants of debts j contracted by such sales, without regard | to the justice of the claim. A Telephone Trick. I To a barrister's clerk in Birmingham.
