THE SECRETS OF THE SPRING.
Come out an I hoar the robins sing,
And hear th-> bluebirds' tile of spring.
And see the swallows on thi wing.
Come out an 1 listen, listen low
And henr the gras es as tliey grow,
And list the little winds that Mow,
And learn to read their secret well?
The secret that they softly tell
To bird and bet; in drowsy dell,
Of bloomy banks that are apt to be,
Of fragrant field and leafy tree,
And all the summer mystery
ui oua ana nios-om, nowcr ana irun
That quickens now in sap an I root,
And now in teuiler springing shoot.
Come out, come out, the days aro long
But Naturo sings her *ecret song
In secret ways?the days are long,
But swift as swe.-t from day to day,
Prom hour to hour, the t.mful lay
Runs headlong on a changeful way.
Come out, tl en. in the early glow
Of early spiingtine's bud an 1 blow,
Come out and hear the pra-ses grow,
And all the sccrets of the spring
That melt end murmur, speak and sing,
To ears at'.un.d to listening.

| JUST AS SHE TOLD IT.
"What time is it? Lor-r-d! we'll have
half an hour to wait, and I do hate sitting
round in a hotel with nothing to do.
Ain't Kew Orleans an awfully funny
place? It can't hold a candle to Chicawgo.
Some one told us to visit the French
quarter; but. my goodness! it's awfully
Ehabby?just awfully shabby; and as for
the French market, you get up at an un
earthly hour in the morning, and the cof
fee they have's fit to poison you. 1 think !
it's your duty to see everything that's to j
be seen; so 1 said to the chambermaid, I,
the other day, "Where are your handsome i (
dwelling houses j1'' (
''Ah! out Prytania and St. Charles, i,
mum, there's ilegant tine mansions," she ' :
said.
So we went, and?would you believe I
it??they're ail made of wood! Did you i'
ever! Yes; this is a dreadfully queer!!
place. 1 used to have sort of romantic '{
notions about the South?thought it must ,
be just per-r-fect. I thought, don't you
know, you wore white dresses all winter, j
and sat on piazzas in hammocks, and that
the Southern men were all dark, and tall. 1
and very fiery; and the colored people ]
were so funny, and sang, and played on
banjos; but, gracious! they behave just
like everyone else; and as for white
dresses, I've never come so near freezing
to death in all my life.
Fred would say that s because I never j
read anything, nor listen to what anyone's |
saying. But that ain't it at all. j
You'd just die if you knew Fred. He's I
the funniest boy. Awfully nice, don't;
t you know, only he will prose so about lit"
crature and culture. Oh! he's too funny, j
Why, when he likes one book by an author,
he must rush right off and read all the J
rest of 'em. He read "David Cop'field"
- did you ever read "David Cop'field?" (
Well I did, and I declare, I thought I'd ?
be old and gray before I got through; i
but I'd promised Freu I'd read it. Well, j j
then he read all of Dickuns. Same way j (
about ThacK'ruy. He began "Vanity i A
Fair," and just went crazy about Thnck- (
'ray. Ever read "Vanity Fair?" Ain't it i j,
simply awful? I just struck. I told s
Fred I just wouldn't read it if he never
spoke to me again. (
. Fred ain't a bit like me. Now when I j ,
like one book by an author, I never read j ^
another, because I think I'd be sure not j c
to like it half so well, and then I'd get to I
hate the whole lot like poison.
But you mustn't think Fred ain't nice, j
He's real handsome and fascinating; has j ^
big brown eyes and the cutest mustache; only
he will be superior, and it's so ! t
fatiguing. Now what's the use of being j t
superior? Why can't you just be happy j t
and sensible?
I've known Fred for per-r-fect ages. t
Why, he used to walk to school with me. ^
and carry my books. But that was last g
year, for I've been out ever so long.
Wo neprf tn nimrrpl lilrp r>?fs OnpdflY
' w 1%%~?,v* " ?* " ? ? - ?J Jhe
said to me: * 'Marie Cassidy, do you t
ever intend to be anything but a frivo- f
*10 j butterfly?" t
"Frivolous fiddlestick's endl*' said I, s
and I spoke very severely, too. If you j.
wivnt superiority, just visit niommer seven %
evenings a week."
Mommer's superior enough, gracious j.
knows. The way she goes in for general n
7' info.'mation is simply awful. ],
^ "Well," said he, "if you are content j
* "'to remain?" ; j
"Fred Delbcrt," I said, "am I a grif- j c
fin or a Cyclops?" i r
" Why, of course not," he said, open- j
ing those big eyes of his. j i
"Well, then. I ain't a Cyclops, that's j
settled, and popper has lots of money? !
just dead loads of it?so what do I want j ^
with superiority? I'm sorry you find me j j
. to unattractive. There's DeLaucy With-1
erton, he says mv eyes are like bits of s
heaven on earth, and?"
Fred got so mad he regularly stamped, j
"Don't quote to me the inane remarks : ?
of an idiot," he shouted.
"Anvhnw " T '-hp likes me iust ' :
as I am, and lie isn't always treading on ^
my poor little pug. *' I c
"I hate pugs," said Fred. "They;1"
always look as if they're making faces." j <
Well, somehow or other we made up s
again, and I made him kiss Gigi, because
he'd said such horrid things about the ,
poor little pet. Gigi's just killing?you t
ought to see him. , e
Fred and I were sort of engaged. Not j
quite, though, because popper said Fred {
was young, and I was young, and he fl
didn't want to give up his little girl just j
yet uwhile. That made me cry, and feel I
real badly, because I've never been any- j s
thing but the bother of his life.
But Fred and I had a serious row once. s
You see, there was a crirl staying with t
Mrs. Calvin, in our block; Pamela Stone- j ^
henge was her name, and she came from
somewhere East. Some people said she ^
was so elegant and charming, and talked v
about her "classic outline," but, Lor-r-d!
snc was so tall and thin, and her nose c
was miles too long. I don't care what i c
anybody says, it was lon<r. i
She was dreadfully profound and high- ,
? toucd, aud Fred began to fly around her j j,
a L'ctle. I didn't let on 1 cared a bit,
because I wasn't going to set him up, j ?
out I just flirted awfully with De Lancv. i ^
It was at Mrs. Jenifer's ball, and Dc j,
Lancy and I were sittiug on the stairs, 1
when I saw Fred and the classic Pamela "
skipping off to the conservator}*. Ain't , f
men too heartless? I was sure he must i t
have something important to say to her, j,
so I told Dc Lancy 1 wanted to stroll ,,
kbout and look at the flowers; and of
course he agreed, for he was mashed? !
regularly mashed. I passed as close to j
Fred and Pamela as I could. They were
talking in a low, earnest tone, and I i
heard something about "a scheme of' n
cosmic philosophy." j t
Now did you ever! The idea of drag-'s
ging a girl off iirto a conservatory to jwhisper
such jaw-breaking things in her r
ea*! I felt sort of relieved, for it's a s
comfort, after all, to have a lover who's n
too big. a goose te flirt with other girls, j u
Bat when I thought it over that night, n
while I was taking out my hair-pins, I s
began to think there might be more in i v
it than met the eye. I didn't know but! p
it was the intellectual way of making ! ^
love. ! e
T irns vrrv rnlfl to him when he v.
brought me chocolate creams. I told him ; t
I abominated chocolate, and it was very ' t
plain ho found it too troublesome to re j t
member my likes and dislikes.
Well, then, in the midst of this, he a
bad to go to St. I.ouis on business; and ' t
while he was away I repented, and began ] t
to feel sort of soft about him. ; He
bad written lie was pretty sure to *
be home Tuesday evening. I was sitting j t
by the window, aucl the gas was turned c
low, and somehow I felt blue. I could see j
Mrs. Calvin's bouse, where that horrid [
Pamela Stonehcngc was staying; and as 1
I was looking, two men went up Mrs. 1 r
Calvin's steps. It was a hateful showery ! ^
night; but they were laughing and talk-! ?
ing, aud when they put down their um- ^
brellaa I saw something that made me \
jump. g
F *ed has an umbrella with the funniest r
head, an ebony skull with Rhine-stones
ryos that flash in the most life-like way,
and there that thing was winking at me
in the gaslight across the street. I was
so mad I just cried?regularly howled.
To think that Fred would go to see her
first of all!
"Well, who should walk in bright and
early the next morning but Fred himself!
He looked pale?with remorse, I
thought. But icebergs and polar bears
were nothing to me in the way of coldness.
lie began, "I wanted to see you the
first thiug, Marie?''
"Indeed!" I interrupted. "I feel quite |
honored."
He turned very red, and stared at me. j
inen ne said: >vnut uo you meanf :
What are you talking nbout?"
"Oh! of course you haven't an idea,"
I said; and so it went on from bad to
worse, until he just got up and remarked,
with the most dreadful dignity:
"You seem to be accusing me of something;
but as you will not do me the
justice to explain yourself, I will bid you
good-morning and good-bye, Miss Cass:dy."
Of course I never meant him to get on !
his dignity, and when I saw him going,
1 had half a mind to run after him, only
I was too proud.
Two or three days passed, but still no
sign nor symptom of Fred. Mommer was
getting ready to go to Chautauqua, and
the house was turned upside down, and
I was fairly distracted. At last I just
wrote him a few lines, telling him I
wished to explain something. I waited j
all that day, and all the next, but no
answer came.
Then I got desperate. I just decided
life wasn't worth living, and I'd be superior,
and go in for sociology and demonolgy,
and all that sort of thing.
So I toldmommer I was going to Chautauqua
with her, and she said she wa9
gliul I had awakened at length to a sense
of my own deficiencies: and we started
off. '
It ain't any fun to travel with mommer.
She always declares she's suffocating
in the Pullman, and she thinks the
train's running off the track every few
minutes, and drives the conductors half
crazy asking questions. Then she's a'ways
dropping her eyeglasses and handbag
and handkerchiefs?particularly her
handkerchief.
Chautauqua's an awful bore, don't you
know?a lot of old drones and mummies
E^ning about, and pretending they enjoy
it so much. 1 believe they really hate it,
only they think it looks nice to be profound.
.
And then Palestine park! Oh, my!
how those Eastern people can make such
aruys of themselves, and dress in bags
:hat haven't any hang, or fit, or anything,
[ can't imagine. Mommer would drag
ne about everywhere, to improve my
nind, she said. She has a mania for
neasurements and calculations, and one
lay she was calculating the dimensions
)f the Great Pyramid, and I said,
'Lor-r-d, mommer! you must have been i
svolved from a measuring-worm." She I
lidn'fc like it one bit, but I think she i
night to have been g!ad I knew how to
ipply my knowledge.
I was so broken-hearted I took up

.lcurew, anu it nwsi uuuucu me. nun |
people could ever have talked in such a
anguage!
Well, one day I was in the steamboat
)n the lake, and I was looking over my
iccount-book. Popper always makes
;ueh a point of my keeping accounts,
)ecai st he says it tc:iclios me the value j
)f money, but no one ever knew the I
ralue of money better than I do. I had i
?igi with me, and it's awfully expensive j
)oardiug with a dog; and then the
servants are always so grasping! I de:lare
they're just like those horrid '
laughters of the horse-leech that said: j
'Give! give!"' hough why the daughters !
vere a bit worse than the sons I never
:ould see, only people are always slanderng
women.
Snmohnir nr nthpr T npvfr rfin fret mv
ceounts exactly right. There were four
lollars I couldn't uccount for, so I just
>ut them down to "charity," because
'sundries1' had such an unbusiness look,
hough, to tell the truth, I'd only given i
en cents to an organ-grinder.
I was so hard at work I never noticed
hat I'd been taken ever so far past ;
vhere I ought to have got out, so I just |
tepped out at the next stopping place,
ind waited for another boat to take me !
>ack. It was quite a pretty spot, with !
rees and things, and a sort of cave not ,
ar off; and I sat and sat, and gazed at !
he beauties of nature till I was 'most j
tarved. All at once I heard a noise be- j
lind me, and I looked around, and there j
vas Fred coming out df the cave! . !
I thought for a moment maybe remorse !
ind driven him to retire from the world j
,nd be a hermit. "Wouldn't that have j
>een romantic?
I glanced at him very haughtily, but !
le began right away: "Miss Cassidv? .
>h, Marie! dou't let us make ourselves ;
uiserable by keeping this up!"
"Who's miserable?" I inquired, i
'Speak for yourself, Fred?I mean Mr. j
)elbert."
A horrid, unfeeling twinkle came into !
lis eye, and he said, "Do you remember
tfiss Stonehenge?"
"Oh, yes," said I, icily. "She had
uch a long nosel"
"She has it still?"
"Don't jest on such a subject, if you
)lease," I said.
"Well," said Fred, "I admit that it

Sanskrit."
4,I suppose she's refused you," I said;
'and vou've corae to me to be conio!ud."*
Then he said a lot of absurd things I
von't repeat; and I told him how I j
bought he'd gone to see Pamela that
vening. It turned out that the poor
>oy had come back sick with malarial
ever, and wasn't able to leave the house;
nd Ned Parkinson had dropped iu and
>orro\ved his umbrella.
44 But that doesn't explain your not anwering
my note," I said.
"You see, when it came I was very
ick at my rooms, and there wasn't a soul
o do anything for me but an old man
vith a wig?"
"Well, did his wig prevent you from j
vriting to me?" I asked; for I can be !
cry sarcastic when I feel like it.
"Of course not; but I was too sick
von to raise my head. As soon as I
ould stand. I rushed around to see you;
?ut you had gone. Dellie Jones told me ;
ou had gone to Chautauqua; so I fol- i
owed you, and here I am."
"Well," I said, very sternly, "I'll for- |
;ive you this time, Fred; but you've i
rested me very badly. And, Fred, she
las got a long nose?hasn't she?"
"Shockingly," he said.
So we were married, and came South

The Dog Carts of Antwerp.
In Belgium the country people are
mostly poor; even those who think
hcinselvcs "well off" are not what we
hould cull so. Some of them have small
arms just outside the city walls, and
tiise vegetables for the markets. They
eldom can afford a horse, so they keep a
umber of large, strong dogs?sometimes
s many as five or six?which they harass
to their market carts. If you could
ee these dog teams tugging along, you i
rould understand what it means when
ieople say they have to "work like a
[og." About all these fanners have to
at is a sort of dark-colored coarse
read; and the same kind of bread is fed
o the horses. It looks very queer to see
he cab drivers cutting olT the slices for
heir horses.
The bakers and butchers and grocers,
nd a great many other people keep dog
cams. Most of the milk-wom?n bring
he milk to the city in shining brass cans
>acked into their little dog carts; and
vhen they go home again they pack
hemselves in too, along with the empty
:ans, and while the poor dog? tug along
tome, they sit and kuit.? Wide Awake.

Bad Butter?How to .TIako It.
Keeping cows in n dark ill-ventilatec;
stables.
Cleaning out the stables while the cow:
are being milked. The fumes and dusl
arising from these causes will taint th(
milk during the procv^s of milking.
Allow cows when ruling out to hav<
access t j the manure from horse-stables,
they being fond of eating the straw and
hay mixed with the manure, also allow'
ing them to drink the leachings from the
j manure or stable-yard.
Feeding them on damaged fodder 01
[ on damaged ensilage.
[ Want of cleanliness in dairy and
utensils.
Keeping the milk in rooms oil the
kitchen or sitting-room, where the fumes
of cooking and tobacco-smoking will find
their way in to taint the milk.
Keeping vegetables, meat, or anything
that will taint milk in a dairy or room
where milk is kept.
Givjng the cows water from a well
into which the leachings from the stableyard
can find their way.
Milking cows when too near calving,
or milking a sick cow, and mixing the
milk with the rest.
These and many other things will taint
the milk and make bad butter that will
not keep sweet.
Of course, the contrary of this will
make good, sweet butter if properly
worked.?New York Witness.
Planting1 Corn.
The corn crop hns two destructive
enemies; one is the crow and the other
smut; but both of them may be avoided
by good management.- The crow is a
wily bird and very suspicious, but by
taking advantage of its weakness in this
respect we may be able to circumvent it.
It has another weakness, common to
another race of bipeds," which is a love
for whisky, and we may also take advantage
of this to save the corn from his
dangerously kind attentions. No doubt
the crow is to a large extent a useful servant,
but unfortunately his services are
so clumsily performed that he does as
much damage ns he does good, or perhaps
more; for in his search for and
capture of cut-worms he pulls up the
corn, and is thus a worst pest than the
worm, which usually takes but one plant
out of the hill. The crow hunts by
scent, and if we can disguise the scent he
is baffled or alarmed and his suspicions
are aroused. At the same time the cutworm
finds its way to the com by scent,
and when we baffle the crow the worm
is also avoided. To do this it is only
necessary to cover the seed with a film
of gas tar, which has a strong and offensive
odor. This is done by mixing a
small quantity?a tablespoonful, for in
stance?in sufficient hot water to saturate
a peck of seed corn. The water aDd tar
are well mingled by stirring, and the corn
is then put into the mixture, aud the
whole is stirred together and left until
the corn has absorbed the wuter. A thin
film of the tar adheres to the corn, which
is sprinkled with dry plaster or wood
ashes or artificial fertilizer, to overcome
the adhesiveness of the tar. The seed is
then planted.
Smut is perhaps a worse pest than the
crow, or its smaller, but equally troublesome
cousin, the crow blackbird. This
is no doubt sown with the seed, as in the
ca3e with oats or wheat, and to rid the
crop of it the ss me precation should be
taken. This is to steep the seed in a corrosive
solution, which destroys the soft
onrl fll^cArKnnf atmroo f\f fV*o amnt'
ttliU <tvoviwvuv wi diuuvi
phate of copper is the most eirective
agent for this use. One ounce dissolved
in one quart of water is sufficient to saturate
four quarts of seed, and if the tar
is added to this solution, as above mentioned,
the seed is disinfected of the
smut and coated with the tar, and two
birds, so to speak, are killed by one
stone. The prevalence of smut in corn
amounts to a disaster. No one knows,
and few try to realize, how much injury
is done to live stock by feeding smutty
corn and fodder. It is well known that
the smut of corn has the same contractive
effect upon the uterus as ergot of
rye, and also affects the blood as a poison
in the same way, producing gaugrenc
of the extremities?just such a disease
as has been prevalent among the
cattle in Kansas, and which produced
the recent foolish scare of foot and mouth
disease there. How many cases of abortion
in dairies occur from this cause no
one can tell, but we may well suppose a
large proportion; for scarcely a held of
corn in tne country is exempt irorn more
or less smut. So tbat precautions against
it are imperative, and when we try to
avoid the crow we may as well destroy
the germs of the smut. A little corn
steeped in whisky and strewn in the lield
will upset the gravity of the crow and
make it an easy prey to those who think
the only good crow is a dead one.?New
York Times.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Put wood ashes in your hills for potatoes.
If you do not let your pigs run at large
they need bone-meal.
Dissolve some alum in the whitewash
to keep it from rubbing off.
Shut up fowls without food for twelve
hours before they are beheaded.
Do not let the sheep spoil wool with
chat! and burrs. Cut tug locks early.
Cottonseed meal fed to milch cows in
summer increases the firmness of butter.
l)o not xorget 10 moisten uie eggs
under the sitting hens occasionally with
warm water.
Let the hens run in the orchard. They
will do much toward keeping out the
canker worm.
The most unfavorable time to transplant
a tree is just as the buds are beginning
to burst.
The cultivation of artichokes as food
for stock is increasing every year, and
seems to be profitable.
Boil a few more potatoes tban you
want for breakfast and mash them up
with, a little cottonseed meal for the
calf.
The American Farmer recommends the
cultivation of peach trees when young,
but it should. cease when they begin to
bear.
The essentials to success in onion culture
are plenty of manure, thorough liti

cultivation.
If you wish to raise a good many fowls
you must keep them in separate small
flocks. Large numbers do not flourish
well together.
Lime is an excellent fertilizer on clay
soils on account of its power to render
soluble many of' the component parts
of the clay, and also to nuike it more
porous.
Nothing is more deceiving than a good
bred horse's legs. They may look small
to the eye. but when handled you often
find that your fingers do not meet us easily
us you expected.
In putting manure on land for onion
sets see that it is well rotted, and do not
manure too heavily. Sow seed early, alter
making the bind fine. The secret of
good onion growing is fine tilth.
Do not forget that swine require green
food as other animuls. If you do not
wish to turn them loose feed it to them
in the pen. Th-.it which they get in ordinary
"swill" is sometimes not enough.
Paint which has become dry and hurd
may be removed by rubbing the spot
with oxalic acid diluted with water. Try
a weak solution first, and if it does not
remove the stain, increase the strength.

respondent writes urging that trees be
planted in groves and not along the public
roads. He says by the latter method
the roads are kept from drying out, and
the roots -will interfere with the tillage of
the field.
In order to have a good supply of good
currants put tobacco stems on the
ground under the bushes and put them
there now. You can get these stems
of the manufacturers in your nearest
town. They will kill the worms. With
good bushes we have found any coarse
tabacco, dearer than the stems, to pay.
Any soil that will produce the ordinary
farm crops will produce the small fruits.
Work the land deeply by the use of a subsoil
plow, and make it re&onably rich by
the application of some fertilizer. Make
the soil fine and mellow by repeated har
. rowing:, but use nitrogenous manures
sparingly.
The more thoroughly decomposed the
I manure the more available it is for plant
food. If not thoroughly rotted in the
? heap, it must undergo that process in the
t soil. Plants do not derive any benefit
: from the solid portions until they are reduced
by mchanical and chemical influ:
ences, and the most insoluble portions
, sometime remain for a long time dormant
[ and inert, unless the process of decay is
hastened by proper management of the
i manure heap.
Manuring in the hill before planting
tor melons and other vegetables is often
unsafe. But little manure should be
nsfd and then it should be thoroughly
mixed with the soil. If applied inquan;
tity, and especially if put in in a lump it
1 soon dries out, unless it is very thoroughly
decomposed. Some manures are
too strong for young plants. "We have
known young melons to turn yellow and
1 die when two inches high when planted

A flock of sheep will work up a more
valuable pile of manure from the same
feed than any other stock. In winter
their tread is not so heavy as to prevent
light fermentation ot the manure pile,
which is thus fitted for immediate service.
In summer they deposit their droppings
more evenly than any other grazing
animal during the day time, and at night
will select some dry, poor knoll to enrich.
The Spanish proverb is true which says:
ilThe foot of the sheep is golden."
In many experiments with wood ashes,
the benefit derived is often due to the
small proportion of phosphoric acid
which they always contain rather than to
the potash. This is especially true in
cases where leached ashes have proved
nearly or quite as helpful as those un1
leached. The potash'is very soluble, and

the phosphate of lime remains, and is

acid in the soil, and thus is always available
as plants need it.

Apple custard pie should be baked
with an under crust only. The filling is
delicious if made of one pint of sweet
i milk, one pint of smooth apple sauce,
1 well sweetened, three eggs; flavor with
lemon or with a little cinnamon. This

Fish, almost more than anything else,
is improved by slow cooking; especially
is this true when the fish is boiled. If
cooked rapidly ic will fall apart, and will
neither taste nor look so well. The great
point insisted upon by scientific cooks
of the present day is that of taking
; abundant time to prepare food in, and
the fact that nothing'in gained by rapid
boiling.

A nice dish for dessert is made by
peeling some tart apples, and removing
the cores, leaving the apples whole; stew
the apples in water enough to completely
cover them, and when soft so that you
can pierce them easily clcar through with
! a slender broom splint, lift them out of
> tVm u'otpp nnrl let-, thorn drain on a
colander. Then to the water in which
the apples were boiled add sugar enough
ilo sweeten it well; let this com.e to a
[ boil, then drop the apples in, and let
them 'ome to a boil; take them out
again and place them in a jar. To the
hot syrup add an ounce of gelatine dissolved
in a pint of cold water. Let this
come to a boil, then pour over the
apples. The day after they are cooked
these are ready for the table. If a small
, quantity only is made, put it into the
dish in which it is to be sent to the
table, or put it into a mold, and turn
it out cn a platter. Serve with cream
if possible.
Ttiii'nhi]it.i' of Rniik of Fnerland Notes
Writing about the Bank of England
in Harper''8 Magazine^ William H. Kideing
says: The album in which specimens
of the various counterfeits discovered
are preserved, also contains some
interesting proofs of the extraordinary
durability of the notes. There are three
notes for twenty-five pounds which passed
through the Chicago fire, and were sent
in for redemption by Mr. R. H. Nottin,
paymaster of the Chicago and Alton railway.
Though they are burnt to a crisp
black ash, the paper is scarcely broken,
and the engraving is as clear as in a new
note. There are also five-pound notes
which went to the bottom of the sea in
the unfortunate training-ship Eurydice,
and were recovered after six mouths' immersion.
They are not even lrayed. The
paper is stained a light brown, and that
i* the only effect their long exposure to
salt-water has had. We are shown in a
small case covered with a magnifyingglftss
ft few charred fragments of paper
for which the bank paid ?1,400. They
are the remains of several notes destroyed
in a fire, and were redeemed at
their full value, the holders being
' able to give their numbers and
dates, and tc satisfy the bank
that they had actually been destroyed.
There is another note in the album which
whs in circulation 125 years before it was
returned to the bank for payment. No
nnfn ia icanrwl t.ivifn As Kfinn AS (1 nntft
is returned, even though it has been out
but a few hours, it is cancelled. Very
often a note issued in the morning is
brought back to the bank in the afternoon
of the same day, but on an average
a five-pound note is out about eighty days.
The notes have many strange adventures.
One of a large denomination was found
i keeping the wind away in the broken
pane oi a cottage window, neither the
j cottager nor his wife having any idea of
j its value. Another, also for a large sura,
| the disappearance of which had led to
: many wrongful suspicions and accusations,
was discovered, after many years,
! inclosed in the wall of the house from
j which it had mysteriously disappeared.
! One thing the notes will not endure.
| They will hold together at the bottom of
! the sea, and come out of a furnace intact,
' but they will not outlast the scrubbing,
i the bleaching, and the mangling of the
: laundry. That trial, to which they are
I sometimes subjected through the inadvertence
of ladies who send them to the
i wash in their dress pockets, usually de:
faces them, though even after it their
i genuineness is still recognizable.
i M
Although a man's family rightly claims
the first and highest place in his regard,
his nearest friend the next, then those to
whom he is drawn by some common interest,
then his town or city, then his nation,
and finally all the human race, like
ever widening but more and more distant
circles, yet the sentiment of affection
should animate him and the principle
of justice should actuate him through
them all.

A Western paper recently gave a- de- V
scription of a gambling house engineered j
and patronized by females. Since then, v
says the New York World, the existence 1<
i of such institutions in various other cities
has been made known. The most promi- v
I nent and noteworthy of them all, how- ?
ever, has been overlooked. I ?(
j It is located in a cozy, quiet-looking | h
I old mansion of the stately and raonu- P
I mental New York type and within two
I blocks of the Brevoort house. To all 3'
i outward appearances the place is ^
> only one of the many resi- o
| dences of aristocratic elegance j a
j which line the street. All the windows j
! are heavily curtained and a face is seldom ; j*
{ seen there. Even at night it i9 rarely | y
j lighted in the front. So quietly and un- ^
; obtrusively has the business of the estab* a
I lishment been carried on that, although p
j it has heen in existence for months, its
! real character has never been suspected, j j
j The proprietress of the house was origi- i<
! nally"the friend of the proprietor of one j p
of the most famous gambling houses in J1
this city. She quarreled with and left ^
him. Finding herself thrown on her own t
resources ana owner of a vast collec- Is
tion of jewels, she determined
to profit by her experience. She hired a f<
; furnished house, the same in which she 01
; now carries on her trade, and after in- p
I structing two or three of her intimate t,
: acquaintances in the mystery of dealing t<
i and manipulating cards, began work d
with their assistance, rue place was extensively
advertised as a "Ladies' Club V
j House,and soon became quite popular, P
! the more so as no men were admitted. J
| Roulette and faro, as well as occasional ti
j games of rouge-et-noir were at first dealt, ci
1 but the gaming soon resolved itself into 6i
| faro alone. Heavy playing has taken
I place in this house. One lady is known g
; to have carried off over $5,000 as a re- d
j suit of a day's lucky play. Another fe- a
male won upon three days in succcssion
$4,800. The bank was so low at one *
j time that the proprietress contemplated g,
! closing, and would have done so but for *<:
, the appearance of a Creole gamestress, t(
j fresh from New Orleans, who lost over ^
j $8,000 in money and jewels at a sitting ta
; and so replenished the nearly empty cof- it
j fers. For the past few months the
"bank" i9 said to have enjoyed an al- "
j most unexampled run of luck, scarcely .}
j ever losing. w
For obvious reasons the games are all in
confined to daylight. In order to obtain hi
J admission it is necessary to have either a
i card from the proprietress or an introduc- ^
! tion from a frequenter. Regular habitues
have latch-keys which admit them into
i the passage between the outer and inner
| doors, both of which are always kept
j closed. The inner door is guarded by a j?
| pretty young girl, whose orders are to
j admit no stranger unprovided with the A
! proper credentials. The postoffice-box ^
j of the proprietress is daily filled with apI
plications. ^
No gentleman, it is said, has been ad- **
mitted except in the basement where v
I groceries, wines, etc., are delivered. 0,
Tnc servants, of whom there are several, w
j are all females, as are also all the dealers,
case-keepers, and attaches. The house
| originally belonged to a well-known
; millionaire, a former agent for one of the 0?
! great transatlantic steamship lines, from
j whom its present owner rented it. Since I w
then she has purchased the building out- j Pi
; right. It is furnished in the most lux- | t*
j urious style throughout, nothing that 1
i taste could suggest or money procure I ^
! being absent.
i The gambling is carried on in a back j P<
i drawing-room on the second floor. In j bthe
first drawing room an elegant lunch is I
t always laid, with the most delicate and ; g]
; costly wines. The upper floors are de- i ai
voted to the use of the attaches of the es- j fli
tablishment, who all reside on the prem- i S]
ises. The proprietress is a woman verg- j
ing on middle-age, of a commanding tig- . ^
; ure, and very handsome. She dresses in !
black, is famous among all her acquaint- j ^
, ances for her love of pearls, which are i a
the only jewels she is known to wear, and j *
of which she is reported to have the most i
magnificent collection in the country. |
One complete set in particular belonged j jy
to the Empress Eugenie, and the gems j in
, which once queened it in the drawingroom
of an empress now preside over the &
fortunes of a game of faro. The execu- j bt
| tive corps are all more or less equivocally j
i famous and attractive, and are said to be |
as skillful and cool in all the traits and ;
trides of their trade as a veteran gambler, j
I The housekeeping is on the most extravagant
scale, and is chiefly served by j ^
two prominent Fulton market dealers I h(
and a wine merchant ^vho supplies the vi
principal clubs. All of these dealers or
: affirm that the consumption of the finer
i quality of their wares far exceeds that of bj
many of the clubs where male New York r?
; finds such luxurious comfort.
There are several other institutions for it
j a like purpose scattered about this city i io
, and Brooklyn, but they are on a far in- i S(
ferior scale, and their use is restricted ' ^
positively to elected members. In these i ^
: places only round games of cards are |
played; even at that limited rate, how- j gh
ever, much money is lost and won. As ! wi
to the incalculable wrong wrought, the
Slace of which we especially treat is inubitably
the worst. Women are pro- W(
; verbially infatuated gamblers, and once PI
embarked on the sea of chance, with
i their fates totally at the mercy of the t?
fickle goddess Fortune, or worse, with ^
the chance of the game dependent on
the honesty or dishonesty of an un- a.
scrupulous dealer, the result may easily g}
be imagined. en
