Lindsay was preaching in the Lennox parish on probation; that i?, he had been eng.iged for a year. After that time, if he suited Miss Rich, who hud the parish in charge, so to speak, H who canvassed for money to paint the church, looked up poor children for christening and Sunday school, exhorted the young people to join the confirmation class, mapped .out work for the sewing society, and made the parish her hobby?if he suited .Miss Rich, if he was liign-LUurcn enougn ior .nr. vjrnmm anu I.ow enough for Mrs. Phelps, if he be licvcd with Dr. Slow in the doctrine of election?why. then, they were sure to settle him. "What a capital wife Lucretia Shaw would make Mr. Lindsay,"' vouchsafed Miss Rich, shortly after he adorned the Lennox pulpit. "She's just the person for a parson's wife?bustling and?" "I'm afraid she'd take the parish off your hands. Miss Rich," answered Mrs. Phelps, who having no desire to do the hard work which her neighbor loved, yet grudged her the credit* of it. "Well, there's work enough for two of us in the parish. Mrs. Phelps. I wouldn't be a bit afraid but I'd git my share." "To be sure," pursued Mrs. Phelps, "Lucretia's smart, and I don't believe ia a pastor with a doll of a wife who can't darn the children's clothes, and is too feeble to get along without 'help'" "Yes," put in old Mrs. Smith, "she'd be no end of a stepmother to Mr. Lindsay's boy and if ever a boy needed a stepmoiher, it's him. Lucretia's powerful smart, as you say, and she'd make him walk Spanish." . " Yes, " was the reply of Miss Rich; "a widower somehow needs a wife more'n anybody, to sympathize with him in his loss. I shouldn't wonder if Lucretia would bring the boy up to .the ministry if she had her way." " Between you and me," said Mrs. Phelps, "I think that the parson goes to the Shaws' rather more than is necessary for the salvation of their souls." "You can't tell. Perhaps Lucretia has doubts." " And perhaps.'' said I)r. Slow?"perhaps it's Miss Susan." Everybody laughed, and cried "Miss Susan!" with fine irony in their tones. " Who ever heard of Susan having attention?" asked Mrs. Phelps. "I've engageu l^ucreua 10 emuruiuer a new altar-cloth," explained Misa Rich; "I raised the money for it last month?I tell you it's like pulling teeth to get " money out of this parish?and I suppose the parson has to advise her about the proper designs and things; Lucretia ain't well drilled in symbols and*such, you know.'' In fact, everybody in Lennox had decided that Mr. Lindsay should marry Lucretia, and perhaps Lucretia had decided so too, for she was an everlasting ? ?. time over that altar-cloth, and needed 110 end of advice and instruction; her ignorance and interest were quite touching. And Mr. Lindsay seemed quite willing to spend his leisure under the Shaws' roof, and watch the sacred symbols growing under the white and shapeiv hands of Miss Lucretia. "That hand of Lucretia's will be sure to do the business.'' somebody had said. ''Mr. Lindsay's a man of taste, if he is a clergyman"?as if the two were not usually found combined?"and I heard him say it was tit tor a duchess." Miss Lucretia's hand was, indeed, her loveliest feature, so to speak--white as snow, with the prettiest taper fingers, pink at the ends. Once when Mr. Lindsay had mentioned them flatteringly, Miss Susan, who was doing the week's mending near by. drew h.-;r own hands under her work, he noticed. Nobody ever took the trouble to fiattcr Miss Susan. Lucretia sang in the choir, although her voice was thin as muslin, and she had no ear; nobody dreamed or cared if Susan sang like a seraph; She sat in j^uuieiiii > siitmuw, iiuu aiuivsi forgot she was there, till they needed her help. Mr. Lindsay hid taught the choir himself, and after the altar cloth could no longer be made a pretext to cover a multitude of calls, there were the chants and fugues to practice. One morning, as he drilled Lucretia for half an hour ineffectually,he suddenly turned to Susan. " Come," hesaid. "trythis chant with us,Miss Susan;'' and Susan opened her mouth and chanted as nobody in the choir had ever chantcd before. "Bravo!"'he cried. " When did you learn it?'' "Why, I have heard it all my life; why shouldn't I know it? I couldn't help it." Wc must have you in the choir,'' he said. "Susan Shaw in the choir!" gasped everybody on the way out out of church. "Mr. Lindsay is bringing her out." "She's Lucretia's sister, you know," explained Miss Rich. "And her voice rather drowns Lucre tia's," said I)r. Slow. 31 r. Lindsay was giving great satisfaction. The parishioners talked of remodelling the old rectory, adding a wing and a bay-window, and even spoke of taking in an adjoining field, so that "Lucretia might have a flower garden." They even meditated an increase of salary as soon as he should be settled in the parish, and Mr. Grimm thought he should add a codicil to his will, in favor of the new pastor and Lucretia's husband. "When they're married, "reckoned Miss Rich, with unchristian thrift, "we shall have all our church trappings embroidered for nothing, I suppose." "Do you think Susan will live with em; ' asKeu .nrs. rneips. -i-raps ur; won't care about marrying the whole family." "He's powerful kind to Susan,though." "He takes a sight of notice of her." "You kinder forget she's Lucretia's sister," put in Miss Rich, "an' all she's got." It was surely plain that-Mr. Lindsay took pleasure in the society at the Shaw homestead. \t picnic, at prayer meetings or choir meetings, he was always at hand to take Lucretia and Susan home; he lent them his books, and directed their reading; he brought them flowers from town when he happened to go up. "I shall be so glad to give up the presidency of the Bethel society and the Dakota League to Lucretia," said Miss Rich. "It's only proper for the clergyman's wife to be at the head of them." "You'll feel sorter lost without 'em?1' asked Mrs. Phelps. "The parish is a large field. I think I can spare them to Lucretia. Do you know, the other night as I was going to watch with Miss Hart when she had information of the lungs, I came across Lucreiia and Susan and Mr. Lindsay. I must say I should think Susan would have more taste than to follow 'em anywhere. "Why don't she keep herself in the background?" "She's been pretty much in the background all her life," said Dr. Slow. "Perhaps she's tired of the situation." * & .. - 1 'But she ought to have more consid- I eratioD. P'raps the lovers don't mind I her. There they were all three of 'em, ! watching the comet and studying the ! heavens." "A proper study for a clergyman,'' j said l>r. Slow. "And he was pointing out all the ' consternations, and it seemed to me they ! was looking at him instead of the stars," j pursued Miss Rich. "It would be a complication," suggested Mrs Phelps, "if, while he's court- I ing Lucretia, Susan should get in love with him." "It wouldn't be no use," said Mrs. Grimm. "Lucretia's that smart she'd make him believe it was her lie was dying for." The Shaws had enough to keep the i wolf from the door, but nothing to spare; I they owned their house, but kept no J servant. "Help would L>e areiuuuuy 111 their way," Miss Hicli declared. "I wonder they don't feel glad they can't afford any.'' Susan always wore the simplest garments, which she designed and executed herself, whileLucretia?"Well, if there's anything that unfits Lucretia for her future position at the head of the parish," confessed Mr. 1'helps, "it's her love of finery." Lucretia always blossomed out in a pretty spring bonnet?while Susan made her last year's one answer?and a smart new suit made in the latest wrinkle. It was about this time that the parish picnic occurred?an institution which everybody believed in. Hadn't there been more matches made at the last than during all the year besides? And wasn't it a tine chance to test Mrs. I'hclps' recipes, Miss Rich's cream-pics and Mrs. Dr. Slow's tarts? Of course Lucretia went, and Mr. Lindsay with her. Susan happened to be making preserves and' pickles that day,and the berries wouldn't keep, and so she staid at home. At about the middle of the afternoon, when they had had dinner and cleared away, and things were a little slow, and they wanted somebody to start some music, Mr. Lindsay was nowhere to be found. "Oh, he's gone olf with Lucretia somewhere," said Miss Rich, who felt it her duty to account for him. "No; there's Lucretia now, talking about free-will with I)r. Slow." "P'r'aps he's gene home to write his sermon, "' suggested somcuouy eise. me picnic grove being only half a mile froiu town. " Or he's finding ' tongues in trees and sermons iu stones' out here." But at sunset Mr. Lindsay strolled back, with Susan on his arm. in time to join them at tea, and he and Susan made the coffee, and pitched the tunes they sang before the day ended. "Now wasn't that real thoughful in Mr. Lindsay to go after Susan? That's what I call real Christian, and a brotherin-law worth having," commented one old lady. ( But when .Mrs. Bishop, who had staid at home with a teething baby, reported that Mr. Lindsay I had not goue home to write his sermon, ; but had walked straight into Susan's ] kitchen, and had helped her seal up the ] preserve jars and set them away, and had j sat in the front porch an hour or two af- ? terward with her ?when he might have \ been with Lucretia ? reading secular , poetry, and not Dr. Watts or Charles , Wesley, either, the parish rose in its ] wrath to a woman. This would never j do; Lucretia must not be trifled with. ( Mr. Lindsay had inspired hope in her { gentle heart; he must marry Lucretia or j leave the parish."' , "You see," explained Mr. Phelps, i "we want to settle you, Mr. Lindsay. , You suit us to a T, but it kinder seems , as if you ought to propose to Lucretia j Shaw, you've been so attentive." "Propose to Lucretia Shaw!" repeated the young man, with a startled air. j "What has that to do with-settling me? Is every clergyman who comes to Lennox , obliged to propose to Lucretia Shaw as j a preliminary preparation?" ? "Well. no. not exactly,-' laughed Mr. J Phelps, "not unless lie's give the parish j reason to expect it. You know we don't j want the credit of settling a philander- ^ intr parson who makes love right and ^ left. I'd no idee the thought would be j new to you, but the parish lias set its j heart on the match, you see, and we j wouldn't like to see a man, if he was t eloquent in prayer, who'd trifle with the i affections of one of the flock, you know." * "lJut. my dear sir," said Mr. Lindsay, j "I'm not in love with Lucretia Shaw. 1 You wouldn't have me perjure myself?" j "Not in love with Lucretia? The parish won't believe its own eyes agin, I reckon." "Well, said Mr. Grimm, severely, "we couldn't think of settling a preacher that hadn't eo more principle than to s throw over Lucretia Shaw after tak- * ing teaVso much to her house, and rais- " injj her hopes, as it were." y "Perhaps," said Mr. Lindsay, after a pause?"perhaps pou will be able to for- ^ give me for not proposing to Lucretia when I teli you that I have already pro- j posed to Susan. You see, it would com- , plicate matters a little if I were to accede j to your wishes. However, I have lately t received a call from a Western parish, ' and should feel obliged to decline the J Lennox parish, even if you had thought me worthy of it, as this other furnishes . a wider field of usefulness?" , "And larger salary. I suppose," added ; Mr. Grimm. ' ''And larger salary," allowed Mr. . Lindsay. ''Double, in fact." "I suppose," persisted Miss Rich, af ter the wedding?"I suppose Lucretia ] must have refused him first."?Ifnjicr'.i j Bazar. I Shaving Hats. ! ' One of the hardest posts in a hat ] factory," said a boss hat maker, yester- \ day, " is that of a shaver. Few people ] know that there is such a persou in a ( hat factory; but there is, and his work ) is as important as it is difficult. lie is ( armed with a thiu, narrow-bladed knife, ] twelve inches lon<;, and as sharp as steel ( can possibly be made, in which condi- j tion it must be kept at all times. The j hat body comes to the shaver in its raw ] condition. It is in the shape of a V. and j is covered with short, fine hair, and per- ] fectly dry. The hat body is placed over j the knee cap of the man, who is toshave i it with the point up. The knife is then . taken in the right hand, and, with the j edge from the body, is drawn back and ] forward with such quickness that you ] would wonder that an arm could be j moved so fast. In the meantime, great ( care must be taken, as the least pressure j of the edge of the knife cuts the hat,and 1 it is spoiled. " In the factories where nothing but \ first-class goods are made these cut hats ] are thrown on the hands of the work- i men, but in others the workmen lose only , about one-half of the value of the hats ] and the firm sells it to some second-class \ manufacturer. The only difference is ; that a smaller-sized hat is made, the j body being first worked over, so that the ] top point is drawn away from the cutun- ( til the latter is about midway between ] the top and the outer edge, after which ] the hat is made up in the usual way. ] Hats made in this way from bodies j which were intended for the highest ] priced hats can be sold for about half . price, and also be of the best material, < A number of retail houses who sell low- | priced goods deal in these hats. ] "When the knives arc worn down by j constant sharpening, the workman takes ; them home for use in his kitchen, and ] they are without d^ubt the finest knife ] ever made for such use. The blade be ( ing so thin, its own weight will almost t lake si slice from a loat ol Dreau, anci me ; thinness of a slice of roast beef which it i shaves oil would make your mouth water. ( The only trouble is that whenever the t edge touches a bone, or other hard sub- j l stance, it is dented or bent. The edge i of one of these knives would make ] barber's razor blush."?_Yetc York Hun. j An Every Day Occnrrcnce. i Once upon a time a Donkey fell into a J deep hole, and, after nearly starving, 1 caught sight of a passing Fox, and im- 1 plored the stranger to help him out.

Personal llccollections of llic Flr*t President?His Domestic Rcla? (ions?Rail)- liifcat ."Tlount Vernon* I have spent much time in the grass grown streets of Alexandria, Ya., chatting with the old citizens about George Washington, and gathering together such traditions of him as have come down to them from their fathers, writes the Washington correspondent, of the Cleveland Lender. Washington died in 179!), and there are none living in Alexandria old enough to have known him, but Alexandria was his business place for years. He lived at Mount Vernon, only nine miles away, and his marketing, buying and general business was done at Alexandria, lie voted there. He had a little oflice built on a lot which he bought when he was a young man, and it was only a few years ago that it was torn down. Alexandria was, in tact, his npjirfst town, and hero ho nanii! to dance at the hotel parties, trade at the stores, and to talk politics on the street corners. Mr. William Came, the youngest man I talked with, was perhaps fifty years old. Air. Carne said: liThe last of the otd men who remembered Washington personally passed away about twenty years ago, and it is very late to attempt to get authentic imformatiou about him. I was born in Alexandria, and I have beon engaged all my life in studying Washington's character, and have talked with all the old citizens of Alexandria, for the past thirty years and more, in regard to him. He would take his stand on the steps of the City Hotel and would begin to address the crowd on the greatness of Washington and tell them anecdotes and gossip conccming him. 1 have made an especial study of Washington as a young man. The traditions of Alexandria represent him as a very proper young fellow, six feet tall, rather stately in carriage, and exceedingly fond of horses. He liked to try new horses, and it is said that during a single day he rode ten different horses into Alexandria. Every one tells me he made a tine-looking figure on horseback. He sat straight and had thorough command of his steed. This straightness he kept untii the last. He is said to have danced a good deal as a young man, and to have been very fond of balls. 1 have no doubt that he danced someA'hat, but I do not think lie ever unbent himself to any extent. The dance of ante-revolution days was far different from the waltz and the fantastic german of the present. The minuet, for in stancc, is inorelikc a funeral tread than a ball-room skip, and Washington could easily move through this without appearing anything but eminently respectable. I have no doubt that he drank a.glass of wine or whisky now and then, as was the custom in those days, but I don't think he ever frequented the taverns or gossipptd at the doggeries. As to his circumstances as a young man, they were rather poor, and lie learned habits of business which stood liim well in later years. lie did not begin to make money until he became a surveyor, and ihen he made it very fast, earning twenty-five dollars a day. As to his business contracts, I believe lie was very liberal in making a contract, but he was very rigid in exacting its fulfillment, lie wanted everything set iown in the agreement, and I have seen | i contract of his employing an overseer !n which he stipulates that the over.-:eer j shall have the right to be druuk for a I iveek at Christmas. He probably knew he man well enough to know that he j vould get drunk anyhow, and not wish- | ng to have any trouble with him, made j his stipulation in his contract. ' Have you heard anything of his reations with his wife?" "Nothing, save that they were of the ! nost amicable nature. His marriage, you ; enow, was a case of love at first sight, j ind in one of the few love letters which j iow exists of those he wrote her after j lis marriage, he speaks very tenderly of j ler, and addresses her as '.My Dear Patsy.' j ilr.

She prided herself on ler knitting and spinning, and when her lusbaud was inaugurated as the first i 'resident, the suit he wore had been J nade bv his own servants at Mount Yer- j ion. .Mrs. Washington wove many of ler owu dresses, and there arc two ipoken of which were made of cotton vith silk stripes of red and brown. The ilk came from the ravclings of brown i iilk stockings and worn out chair covers )f red silk. It is said by some that Mrs. ' Washington became insane before she ' lied, but I do not think this is so. It ; s true she shut herself up alone in a 1 oom, and remained there until her death, ; jut you must remember she was an old voman, and there is a wide difference j jetween the crankiness of age and in- ; sanity. It is possible she may have been . Kirsimonious, as is charged, but there ! ire no traditions to that effect."

The consumer of this delicacy takes one end of the strip or string of meat nto his mouth, placing it between his teeth. In his left hand he holds the meat bodily, and with his right gives a drawing cut with his sabre from left to right through the meat, severing it close up to his lips, and so hunks his meal away. This mode of feeding requires some practice, and has its inconveniences, especially to people with long noses and a thirst for strong drink; for it is generally a sign that when noses begin to suffer cutaneous losses from a too close proximity to dagger or sabre that the host's tedge (native drink) has been both plentiful and strong. To flavor the otherwise insipid taste of rawflesh large quantities of red pepper arc consumed, ground up with fat into a ' paste, and larded over the viand.

It is a curious and significant fact that white native Americans of the working classes are not greatly addicted t> the acceptance of gratitudes. Something in the genius of American institutions has hitherto kept our poorer people from falling into this degradation.

The takers of tips in this country are largely negroes and persons of foreign birth. The employments in which tips are regularly accepted, as those of servants in hotels and restaurants, porters and stewards on ships and steamboats and sleeping-cars, are aimost wholly monopolized by foreigners and negroes. The white native American has his faults and his vices, he is often an extremely disagreeable person, but he is not often found clamoring for backsheesh. The taker of the tips acknowledges himself to belong to an inferior class, and there is no foundation for any such distinction; the only diirercnce between himself and the man from whom be takes the tips, is that the other has a little more money. For a dime he degrades himself. Undoubtedly many of those who bestow these gratuities are well pleased to do so for this very reason. The ceremony symbolizes the fact that they belong to a superior class. When a man takes a dime from our hands, it is a confession on his part that we arc superior beings, lie knows full well that we do not accept a dime at his hands. The proclamation and acknowledgment of this superiority pleases the vanity of some people. On the other hand, the abhorrence felt by many persons for this practicc arises chiefly from the fact that they are unwilling to allow any man to make the abject confession concerning himself that is involved in the taking of tips. ?

HUNTING HORSE THIEVES. MOZTTAZTA OVEBBUS WITH BAUDS OP LAWLESS MEU. An Eruption of Violence 1trhicli Vipilnncc Committees arc Treating: With Doses of Hemp. A reccnt letter from Miles city, Montana, to the New York Times says: Xcver since the dark days of 1SG3 4 has Montana been so overrun with hor.se thieves, road agents and other bad characters as at the present time. Both whites and reds have taken a hand at the business, as though endeavoring to see which could outdo the other in deeds of villainy and acts of crime. As it stands both parties are about even, with no back counties to hear from. The first act of the past year was committed May 15, near Glendive, by a well organized band of road agents, who made a murderous attack on Major Whipple, a regular army paymaster, in the hope of securing some $18,000 or $20,000 which that ollicer was carrying to pay olT the troops at Fort Buford. The scheme failed, owing to the fact that the mules became frightened at the rapid tiring and ran away with the ambulance in which the funds were being transported. A brave soldier, however, was killed, Sergeant Aquila C'oorod, and two others wuiu uiiuiv wuuuucii, About the same time Con Murphy, the notorious road agent, made his escape from the Deer Lodge penitentiary, where he had been incarcerated for several years, and commenced operations in the western part of the Territory. On May 2G he made a bold attempt to "hold up'' the Benton coach, near Mitchell's ranch, on which occasion passengers were robbed in broad daylight. His partner, George Munn, was detailed to go over into Idaho and make a raid on Ricks's ranch, and get what money he could. Ricks was a wealthy cattleman and had a great deal of ready cash on his premises. Ricks, however, was fully prepared for the attack, and when .the highwaymen came in sight, Ricks, with eighteen or twenty cowboys at his back, rode boldly forth to meet them, and "smote" the robber chieftain dead.in his tracks and put his band to flight. Murphy was captured a few weeks later and lodged in the jaiJ at Helena, where it was supposed he would be secure, but on the ni^ht of July 21, ho broke jail, through the aid of confederates, and is now at liberty. He was assisted materially on regaining his freedom by the kind consideration of SheritI Kilpatrick, and his watchAen, who, on the evening in question, were interested spectators of a prize tight at the Academy of Music. While the sheriff and his aids were look ing ut the scicntific display of the manly art, their prisoner, whom they left shacklcd, had gDtten'rid of his irons,and was making his escape through a hole in the ceiling of his cell. Con Murphy, at the present writing, is on an island iu the Missouri river, twentyfive miles from Helena, with a hand of twenty desperate outlaws around him. He is in a position to defy 500 armed men, and is so confident of his safety that he has made no effort to get out of the country. Recruits are constantly joining him, and he is no doubt preparing to carry on a system of depredation and plunder the like of which never has been heard of before in the Northwest. Personally, Murphy is a brave man. While being brought from Helena to Butte when last arrested, although manacled and handcuffed at the time, he boldly jumped from a Utah and Northern train while traveling at a speed of twenty miles an hour. The train was stopped and the outlaw recaptured without difficulty. On the Fourth of July two desperadoes named respectively ''Rattlesnake Jake" and his partner, Steve OTallon, made a descent on the little village of Cottonwood, in the Dog Den mountains, with the avowed intention of cleaning out the town. Thev rode uu to* the open doorway of T. C Power's store and began firing into the crowd inside without any warning whatever. The citizens of the town were soon drawn into the fight, and before many minutes hud passed 0 Fallon fell with five shots in his body. While in the last agonies of death he raised himself upon his knees, and, taking deliberate aim with his Winchester at a young man named Smith, (an outsider who was trying to get away from the fracas,) Bhot him through the head, killing him instantly, "ltattlesnake Jake'' took nine balls into his body before he yielded up the ghost. Early in the summer there was a grand revival of horse stealing all over Montana. It grew so rapidly in favor, and has been participated in by so many people of late, that it may be truly classed at present among the prominent industries of the Territory. Up to within a few weeks there was, between the Muscle Shell and Judith rivers, the most daring and powerful band of hoise and cattle thieves, regularly organized and captained, that has ever existed in the Northwest. The numerous depredations and outrages committed by this band (numbering over one hundred) at last called for the speedy organization of safety and vigilance committees. Cattlemen, stock growers and sheep raisers went at the thing in a business-like way. From each round-up party a number of cowboys was detailed, under fearless leaders, to scour certain sections of country, and when a nest was found to clean out the same in short order. Deputy sheriffs and their posses were voted no good. They had been tried and found to be wanting. There has been a deal of hanging in .t._ ? ? .1.,.?of uiu iiui iiiui 11 luuiiu y uunu^ mi; jiuoi/ season, and no one will ever know who or how many have gone to their death through the courtesy of the vigilantes or cowboys. Every little while information is brought in that "another horse thief has been set to stretching hemp." Hunting parties out after buffalo, antelope and other game report the finding of a human body every once in a while swinging from a cottenwood tree in some lonely spot. Altogether, from trustworthy soyrces, it is known that close on a hundred outlaws have been strung up by the different vigilance committees who have been at work this season, and the job is not half linished yet. They have been driven across the international boundary line into British Manitoba; also over into Idaho and south into "Wyoming. A Cure for the Sparrow I'est. Sparrows were introduced from England for the purpose of destroying the vermin, but it has been determined that the remedy is worse than the pest, and a resolution is made to get rid of the birds,but how to do it has not been fully determined. Perhaps it will be a good plan to introduce the mouse-eating spider, for it. is exceedingly fond of small birds, and is as artful as a fox in catching them. This formidable insect is found in I'ahia, a maritime province of Brazil. Its body, which is covered with hair, is three inches in length, and it is about as big as a cheese-plate. It feeds on mice, grasshoppers, and small birds, which it catches by springing suddenly upon them from ambush in the hollow of a tree or beneath a large leaf. In captivity it is fed chiefly 011 a large kind of cockroach, but would not object to our smaller cockroaches, and in ridding the land of them would accomplish another good work. It is probable that a few upon a farm would very soon rid the premises of meadow moles, mice, and if not too abundant, stop the raids of grasshoppers. There is a large wasp u..? i.? i.i tor kill ,.f the spiders. The tarantula of Mexico and Texas falls into insignificance when placed beside this hero of the Brazilian forest.? Tribune-1<'< inner. The Fish Auctioneer in Holland. One of the sights of Holland to be seen by the stranger is the method of handling fish. As soon as a boatman reaches port with a load of fish the fact is announced by the sounding of a gong. Those desiring to make purchases repair to the beach, where the fish are piled up in little heaps. The owner then proceeds to auction them olT. Instead of letting the purchasers do the bidding, as is done in this country, he does it himself. lie sings out a price at which he will sell the lot. If no one takes it he lowers bis asking price till within what the purchasers are willing to pay. In Antwerp the same custom prevails, the only dilTerence being that the fish are brought alongside the docks in the boats, are then hoisted upon the wharf in large wicker baskets, having openwork sides, so that the fish can be seen by the purchasers.?Fish Journal. Merely Her Bean. "No, ma'am!" exclaimed the provoked young man to a young lady, who, on the refusal of her favorite, had asked him to accompany her to a party; "I don't play second fiddle :o any one!" "No one asked you to play second fiddle," replied the girl, with a smile; "I only asked you to be my beau." - * ' * ' ' --t *' 'vWISE WORDS. Learn to say no; it will be of more use to you than to be able to read Latin. When shrewd ignorance rcsorta to dishonest methods, the confiding public is apt to suffer in pocket. Good nature, like a bee, collects honey from every herb. Ill-nature, like a spider, sucks poison from the sweetest flower. Begin your course in life with the least show and expense possible. You may at pleasure increase both, but cannot easily diminish them. Credit is like a looking glass which, when only sullied by a breath, may be wiped clear again, but if once cracked can never be impaired. There is a key that will open every lock if we know how to forge it; and so with life, there is a right path for every one if he will only search to find it. Nature loves truth so well that it hardly ever admits of flourishing. Conceit is to nature what paint is to beauty; it is not only needless, but impairs what it would improve There is a sweet pleasure in contemplation, and when a man hath run through a set of vanities in the declension of his age, he knows not what to do with hiinsclt if he cannot think. While what we *do unquestionably influences what we arc, it is equally true that what we are influences and determines the real value of what we do. Let no one then imagine that he can permanently benefit his work or further lxia business by sacrificing his own manhood or neglecting other obligations. The Joys of Camel-Riding. A London Telegraph correspondent says in a letter from the Soudan: A few days ago I had my first ride on a camel, and I thought it would be my last. It was to go to our camp that I got crosslegged upon an Arab saddle, insecurely fastened by strings upon the back of a great, lumbering, humpbacked brute. I no sooner attempted to take my place on the saddle than the camel, which was lying prone, Into which position he had been forced, began grunting like an old village pump violently worked. At the same time he turned his prehensile lips aside, grinning like a bull dog, and showed a grinning row of teeth, which eniirrlit. tr> plcwi> unnn me. I L'Ot "w wvv,oM* ** """ ?I - o - ahoard without accident, and had not long to wait for a rise. The first movement, as he lifted his forelegs, nearly sent me over backward; the next, as he straightened his hind legs, still more nearly tipped me over his head. I had been warned to hold tight, but it was only the clutch of desperation that saved inc. After several hinges and plunges, the brute got fairly on his legs. The reins consisted of a rope round his neck for steering, and a string fastened to a ring thrust in his nostrils, to pull up his head, and stop him when going too fast. My camel began to move forward, and thereupon I oscillated and seesawed as if seized with sea-sickness or cramp in the stomach. Involuntary as the movement was, an hour of it would, I am sure, have made as abject a victim of me as the worst sufferer on a channel passage. A heartless friend was in front of me on another camcl. which he set trotting. Instantly I became as helpless as a child, for my camel disregarded the strain on his nostrils, and my fervent ejaculations. My profane Arabic vocabulary was too limited to have the slightest effect. I swayed to and fro, was bumped up and down, until I was almost shaken to pieces. Jt would have been a positive relief could I have found myself at rest on the ground, but the motion was so incessant T had not time to make up my mind what course to adopt. It ended as even the experiences of the worst kind must do, and I found myself still on the camel's back. Not so ray humorous friend, who, to my great comfort, per formed a double somersault and did not succeed in landing quite on his feet. I was told that I would become accustomed to camel-riding, and might even get to like it. But my faith is not great enough for that. Two Sides of a Congressman's Life. It is an error to suppose that the lawmakers have nothing more to do than to attend the ordinaryjsessions of the Senate or House, and draw their pay. Some of them are models of industry?going to the Capitol early in the morning, holding committee-meetings for an hour or two, darting oil to an executive department for information, taking part in the debates of the respective houses, writing letters to constituents, and transacting infinite odds and ends of business until dusk. And when they go home in the evening, they are not always allowed to rest. They arc bothered by dissatisfied constituents; they are besieged by strangers and friends, one wanting this done, another that, a third something else, until wearied and exhausted, they sink into a restless sleep, and dream hideous visions of the coming day. Yet there is another side to the picture. They each receive five thousand dollars a -year and prequisites. to say nothing of the honor of writing " M.C.'' and "U. S. S." after their names; they are ' 'distinguished guests " wherever they go; tlfey are invited to all levees and receptions, to all festivals and amusements; they are banqueted by the President anc^ entertained by cabinet ministers; and they are welcome to every species of domestic -- J t ;? i ? /.luiritf. iinu lorcign iiubpuiunj, uum u. ?>T ball to a german at the legation, where they may move solemnly through the figures of the stately minuet, or dance to the livelier music of a cotillion and Virginia reel. Altogether, their careers are decidcdly agreeable, and the average Congressman would gladly serve his country for life, and "nominate his bones" to fill the vavancy occasioned by his death. The bright little son of a Senator evidently thought the Senate was an hereditary institution; for, when, asked what he intended to be on reaching manhood, he mournfully answered: " Well, I'd like to be a hack-driver,but 1 s'pose I'll have to be a Senator!''?St. Nicfiolax. "Petrolenm Picnics." "A petroleum picnic" is a somewhat novel idea, but at JJaku, on the Cas| ian sea, (the new "Oil City" of Southeast ,'rn Russia.) such jaunts are of daily or ratuer nightly occurrence at certain seasons of the year. Among the naphtha springs of the neighborhood is one which spouts up from the bottom of the sea, at a short distance from the shore, where the shallowness of the landlocked bay in front of the town permit the inflammable rnatf/?f t/-i ilrint llTiiliatnrhf>(l IITIOII Sill". face of the water for many yards round. To visit this curious spot by moonlight, in a small steam launch kept expressly for the purpose, is now ?juitc a fashionable amusement with the Russian residents of Baku. On reaching the spot a lighted match is thrown into the floating oil, and instantly the whole surrounding surface blazes up into a veritable lake of fire, thvough which the boat, rased in iron as a protection against the llames, is driven at full speed, casting off fiery ripples in every direction, while the faces of the crew, looking wan and ghastly beneath the infernal glare, suggest a train of ghosts on their way across the river of death. The whole spectacle is very grand and unearthly, but unfortunately it can only be enjoyed in perfectly calm weather, and the sudden springing up of a breeze from the sea often spoils it at the very last moment. Public Hospitality in India. The people of India, says Youth'* Coin/i(i>iion1 shame us by some of their customs. There is not, so far as we are aware, a single place on any American road where respectable travelers, much less tramps, are provided with food free of cost. We draw the line at watertroughs. The Indian goes much further. A writer says: "The wayside hospitality is a peculiar feature noticeable in Indian traveling in the summer monthis, which, as an act I ot love and enm ity, deserves commendation. This institution is no respector of persons or eastcs, and beasts of Imrdeu, and even tlie deapisc 1 dogs, an- included in it willi genuine fraternity. On the j high roads of travel, all through the 1 country, there are cottages built at intervhN by the hospitality of individual per- j sons and rich men of the localities, where tired passengers are rested and refreshed.

Often an old couple, retired from the world, spend their evening days and whole savings in such acts of charity. Large tubs full of water are placed outside the cottage for cattle and other beasts.

TKS BILL WHICH A YOTJJTQ DOCTOR TESTS SB ED. The Remarkable Charge for Saving a Young I.ady'n Life?A Romantic Story from Chicago. A romantic little story reached the ears of a reporter for the Chicago Inter-Ocean the other day. It touches on sickness, pills and love. A certain charming young lady living in one of the southern suburbs was taken seriously ill. Her parents, who are quite wealthy, employed the best medical talent obtainable, but the worthy disciples of medicine who examined her pronounced her case to be incurable, and said that she was beyond human aid. The parents were in despair. By some accident the father heard of a young doctor who but very recently located in the village, and whose list of patients was not at ail large, but who had ever given satisfaction when called upon, lie was asked to see tho sick girl, lie called, looked at the patient steadily, then turned to the anxious parents and anifl fipmlo anrl rlofisitfplV " I can save your daughter!" 'Do you think so?" was the excited query. "I know so !" was the positive answer. "Save my daughter and name your price for your services!" exclaimed the loving father. "Then I must have entire charge of the case," said the young doctor. As the other doctors had given no encouragement whatever for her recovery the case was readily placed in the young physician's hands, f Ic went to work patiently, earnestly; took entire charge of his fair patient; watched over her day and nignt. In a week she began to improve; two weeks found her out of danger; in three weeks she could sit up, and at the end of four weeks she was well and could take long drives with her devoted doctor. He had indeed redeemed hi3 pledge?had saved his charge. One day, after the c omplete recovery of the young lady was positively assured, the father called the young doctor into his library. Taking him by the hand, he said: "Young man, you have saved my daughter. I told you that if you did so you would be compensated at. whatever price you chose to fix your services. I am now ready to carry out my part of the agreement,as you have so nobly done your work." "Do you really wish to pay me my own price?"' asked the young doctor, anxiously. "Indeed I do. sir." "Then I ask you to give your daughter to me in marriage," was the unexpected 1 Vl-J UV.C3U The old gentleman was naturally a little astonished at the nature of the answer. He hesitated a moment, then touched a bell. A servant answered. ' Tell Ilattie to step here," was the command. In a minute the daughter entered the room. The father andlhe young doctor stood facing one another. "Ilattie," said the old gentleman "do you feel that you have fully recovered?" "I am as well as ever, father." "Do you imagine what your doctor wishes in compensation for his services in saving your life?" was the sternly put question. "No," said the girl, anxiously; "but I am sure he deserves anything reasonable." "But 1 consider his charge extortionate," was the emphatic rejoinder. "What is it, father? I feei sure that Doctor would not be unreasonable?" "Not unreasonable? Why, Ilattie, he asks that I consent to his making you his wife. What have you to say to that?" Ilattie blushed violently fora moment; her little foot played with the rug on the floor, then looking up archly,first at her father and then to the young doctor who had meantime uttered no word, she said: " You say, father, when I was sick all the other doctors gave me up and assured me of nothing but death?" "Yes, my daughter." " And Doctor ? took ray case under those circumstances, told you he would save me, and nursed me back to health and life?" "Yes." "Then, father, it strikes me that if I was an auditing committee, and had to pass upon this bill, I'd argue that the one who brought me back to my health from apparent death would be pretty safe for me to be intrusted to when health was fully regained. I would check his bill 0. K., and say Dothing about extortionate charges." The wedding will be duly celebrated in a very short time. The "Whole Congregation Asleep. Henry Ward Beecher is evidently not blind to the fact that the members of his congregation sometimes give themselves up to tired nature's sweet restorer. Here is a good story that proves it, from his o,wn lips: "A regiment of lumbermen, big, tall fellows, six-foot-five, from Maine, were passing through Brooklyn in 18(52. There were about 1,000 in all and I marched them up to Plymouth church, invited them in, and gave every man of them a whole seat with a cushion in it. There they all sat with their knapsacks on, and I got on the platform and began to preach. My friends, its the only time in my life I ever preached a whole congregation to sleep." CONSUMPTION. XXTOBTANT TO TH* PUBLIC AS WELL AS THX MXDIC1L PROFESSION. HalVs Journal of Health, referring to Consumption, says: "Consumption usually begins with a slight, dry cough in the morning, then on going to bed, getting more and more frequent, with more and more phlegm, increasing debility, thinness of flesh, shortness of breath, and niiipUn<w<i nf rmlsc. In fatal cases its average course is about two years; licnce the importance of arresting tne disease at as early a stage as possible, and the sooner rational means are employed for this purpose the greater the chance of success. The disease Is owing to an irritation commencing in the throat and extending to the lungs,so that their action is interfered with, and the blood does not receive sufficient oxygen to purify it The most marked sign of lung disease is emaciation ; and the most positive indication of returning health is increase in weight. So speaks HalV? Journal of Health, and we may add that in desperate cases, and, in fact, in all cases of Consumption, or troubles of the throat and lungs, immediate relief may be obtained and a permanent cure effected by the use of Dr. Win. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs,a medicine known for more than thirtyfive years as an unfailing remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis and all pulmonary and pectoral diseases. That the worst cases of Consumption have been cured by the use of Hall's Balsam has been attested to"by the thousands who have used it, or have been cognizant of its wonderful remedial efficacy.

Mr. 8. W. Hicks, of Pleasant Valley, Dutchess Co., N. 7., the son of Mr. E. S. Hicks, whose name may have appeared In this journal in connection with an article similar to this, was, like his father, afflicted with Stone in the Bladder, only that his caw was more serious than his father's. On the appearance of the disease the father advised the son to write to Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., who, he said, would tell him what to do. Dr. Kennedy replied, suggest* ing the use of "Kennedy's Favorite Remedy," which had worked so successfully in the father's case. Mr. Hicks, who had. been assured by the local physicians that they could do nothing more for him, tried "Favorite Remedy" at a venture. After two weetoP use of it he passed a stone % of an inch long and of the thickness of a pipe-stem. Since then he has had no symptoms of the return. of the trouble. Hero is a sick man healed. What better results could have been expected? What greater benefit could medical science confer! The end was gained; that Is surely enough. Dr. Kennedy assures the public, by a reputation which he cannot afford to forfeit or imperil, that the "Favorite Remedy" does invigorate the Blood, cures Liver, Kidney and Bladder complaints, as well as all those diseases and weaknesses peculiar to females.
