THE STKEXGTH OF THE HILLS.
My thoughts go home to that old brown
; house.
With its low roof sloping down to the
east,
And its garden fragrant with roses and

That blossom no longer, except in rhyme,
Where the honey-bees used to feast.
Afar in the west the great hills rose,

Their watch, while the world should wake o:

Till tho trumpet should found on th(

Before the trees on their top were born.

And waste were the fields where now yoi

And I was as young as the hills were old,
And the world was warm with the breatl

And the roses red and the lilies white

An J the birds in my heart began to sing
But calm in the distance the great hills rose
Deaf unto ruptures and dumb unto pair

And the sun sets only to rise again.

AN UNMASKED SHARPER
A STOKY FROM TIIK KItEXCIT.
They were discussing the latest scan
dal. A young man of good connection
had been ignominiously expelled from
g;' > club. Playing in collusion with a pro
fessional gambler, he had cheated a
cards and in a few months had won
considerable sum.
"And has he killed himself?"' aske<
some one.
"Bah!" replied another. "Do mci
kill themselves for so little nowadays
It was different in the good old times.'
& In the good old times, as you cal
them," said old General Roy, "those wh<
adopted the card-sharper's professior
killed themselves no more than do thOi<
of the present time. A few exception:
I there may havo been among those wh<
were detected at the outset. But if th<
first attempt succceded, they did as tliei
do to-day, they quickly accustom them
selves to their degradation. Ah, it issc
easy! When respect for his own gooc
name will not restrain a man at the firs
step, it is entirely dead within him, anc
even a scandal will not revive it.

in point, where the hero blew out hii
brains, but it was not a suicide. No,

news never passed certain bounds. Then
Were not fewer scandals, but the scan
dais were less known. In fact, I thin!
there were rather more. Xot that w<
are more virtuous, but the fear of pub
licity is certainly a great check.

i Business Men and Advertising1.
t The Stationer .ind Printer says tha
t some business men turn sharply on thui
h heel or await with a look of painful res

of advertising. Now, why is it? Is 110
d advertising legitimate? Is it not th
? root of success in business? Is not th
;S advertising solicitor engaged in an lion
1- orable calling? Then why should mei
get mad when asked to advertise, am
13 treat the advertising solicitor as if h
D were a thief or u begger? Well, can
didly we don't blame business men fo
doing as they do nine cases iu ten. Ther
s are probably more humbugs in the adver
tising business than in any other respec
'f j table business. The business man i
d bored to deatli by grand schemers whi

e cheap, you know. If you don't want t(
' hang up on the wall, the modest scheme
' will lay you on a million tables in a cor
ner of a big book, on every page of whicl
is a magnificent ehromo. You pay you
lS" money and you take your choice. A1
e these schemes disgust the business man
n and we don't blame him for being dis

Ij Tlio Court Fool.
The court fool, cr jester, of ancieo
n times, was one of a class of licensed buf
g foons attached to almost every royal an<
e noble household, for the purpose of af
a fording entertainment by their jibes
s jests and gambols to the master of tin
house, his lamily and guests. The;
g wore a distinctive "dress, not unlike tha
e of the clown on the modern stage, th

Triboulet of the court of Francis I.,
t Chicoc, the jester of Charles IV., am'
r Augsley, the cynical buffoon of Loui;

country. England had also her special
representative in this field of Momus, the

retinue of giants and Xit, the dwarf,

Daily mail is Handled. ]
, The President of the United States ic[
ceives daily an average of 50,000 letters,
which, as a rule, are answered, or their
receipt acknowledged on the clay of de- <
livery. To enable"him to cope with this i
vast correspondence, m ich of which re- i
quires not simply a formal reply, but 1
considerable research and special knowl- 1
edge,tlic executive is turnislieci witn auout :
ten thousand clerks, who, for conven.
ience, are divided into seven depart- i
; incuts, according as their work has to
do with our foreign relations, the army j
or navy, the liscal machinery of the gov- j
ernmcnt, its internal relations, the pos- j
tal service, or the administration of |
justice. The heads of these seven prin- j
cipul departments are asked by the I'res- i
. ident to meet him once or twice a week i
at the White House, and form what is
. known as his cabinet. At these confer- j
t enccs the more important business of the <
5 departments is discussed, so that the
1 work may be done promptly and har3
moniously; and so well regulated is the
! system that it is not necessary for the
President to sec personally but a very ,
small part of the executive correspondrn

the tons of mail matter that is dumped
1 every morning on the floor of the Wash*
ington city postoflicc, goes to the White
1 House.
1 This postofiice is the third in the conn- ,
try in volume of business, though Washington
is only the fourteenth city in
1 population. This is on account of the
enormous official mail tliat passes
! through Postmaster Conger's hands.
r During the fiscal year which ended June
1 30, 1835, the letters received were in cx'
cess of 25,000,000, or about 70,000 daily,
5 and of this total it is estimated about
" seventy per cent, goes to the depart1
ments.
s The refluent tide is even larger for the
outgoing delivery includes all the publications
of the government. Statistics
in this field would be staggering. They
3 would be on such a huge scale that the
2 figures would lose their meaniug. On
j some days, for instance, during the busy
. days of Congress, 2,000 large sacks,
. mostly of executive documents, will pass
f through the ollice, and the average for
- the summer months is 20,000 sacks a
, mouth. Much of this is registered, for
a greater safety, so that the work thrown
1 on the city force is prodigious.
; Evidently, then, the "Washington postr
oflice is a busy place. The busiest time
. of the day for the incoming mail is early
f in the morning, when the great night
3 mails arrive. ' From 7 till 0 o'clock the
i oflice seethes with activity. Shortly before
9 o'clock the mail wagons for the
. departments and the outlying bureaus
arc hauled up in the rear of the oflice,
p and the mail is handed out to
j them for distribution. These vehicles
are of every description, from heavy,
> red, circus-like vans to neat covered carri>
ages, which have a strong suspicion of
; wilight and Sunday excursions about
hem. The heaviest mail generally goes
o the postollice department, due to the
; outiue correspondence between the del
partmcnt and the 00,000 postmasters of
the Country. Each postmaster has oc[
casion to write at least four letters each
i quat tcr to the department, thus involving
a mass of 200,000 letters every ninety
t days, or more than 2,000 a day from this
. cause alone. Then there is an equal
i volume of business in the dead letter
> bureau, where all uncalled for, miss
directed, or unintelligible letters are
t sent. The other two departments that
, receive enormous mails are the interior
and the treasury. The mail for the pen>
sion bureau of the interior alone often
) mounts into the thousands.
; All the departments have a mail room
? where the letters are received and sorted,
r In the larger departments these rooms
( have quite a postollice look of their own,
t and exceed in the vol'iLne of business
. transacted the figures of many towns of
considerable size. Here the sacks are
opened and the contents distributed into
trays or boxes which represent the oflice
of the secretary and the different bureaus.
' "When thus sorted the letters go to the
! chief clcrks, who go through the p'le,
I whether "confidential" or uot. Heads
> of depa-tments arc not supposed to have
r nny guilty secrets, and they certainly have
not the time to read all the missives
1 which come to them as confidential mat5
ter. So the clerk rips open everything
5 and many "confidential" letters drop
* into his waste basket. Communications
- on business matters the clerk tosses in a
L wicker trays, and these are borne by
} messengers to the chiefs of division and
! the heads of rooms having special supcr'
vision of the matter. If, however, the
letter is seen to be importauf, it is sent
^ up instead of down, and eventually may
j find its way to the desk of the secretary,
' or even to the President. In the ordinary
routine, however, a letter goes first
1 to the city postollice, then to the dc1
partmcnt, and then, 3tep by step, to the

cial size, elaborately headed, and gath5
ering endorsements as it proceeds?red
v marks and blue marks, numbers and
> dates, circles, squares, and crosses?till
i it is finally signed, folded, and mailed
? again. Necessarily there is some red
5 tape, for unless a rigid system was fol"
lowed there would be fatal confusion in
a week in all the large departments.
J These mysterious marks all have a meanV
ing, as the careless or stupid clerk finds
s out soon enough, for by them every step
is registered and a blunder traced back
to its source.
The last hour or two of each office day
t ia the departments is devoted to linislir
ing up the correspondence and signing
it. The latter means great drudgery to
t the secretaries and their responsible sub
t ordinate's. Some days these officers sign
e their names for two hours as rapidly as
e thev can write, with a messenger at their
. elbow to pass them sheet after sheet,and
[i blot the signature as fast as it is scratched
1 oil. Rarely arc the contents of the letc
ter noticed. It comes to the desk through
_ the proper channels, and is assumed to
r be correct. If not, the one who suffers
o I bv the error will benrettv likclv to com- !
- plain. Of course, the more important j
. correspondence is treated more cares
fully.
0 And now the roplv begins its travels.
. Again the department wagons, from the
,1 heavy led vans to the neat carriages,
e convey the sacks to the city postollicc,
j where they are emptied and the letters
3 hurried froui clerk to clerk. One arr
ranges them in piles, then the canceling
. stamp and post mark are put ou, and
a then the first rough distribution by States'
r and chief cities bciriis. At the city
1 postoilice, also, a further distribution

way postal clerks. About 20,000 poste
offices are located by the most direct
t railway lines, and letters are distributed
s for these lines, thus saving the railway
e clerks from a vast task that would have
n to be done very quickly.
The great official mail goes out to the

. but as much matter as possible is sent at
{ | 4 o'clock to help the railway clerks,

Narcolepsy is a name that has been ap- J
plied to a rare and curious malady, the
main feature of which is an irresistible
desire to sleep, coming on suddenly at
irregular intervals?the spell lasting but
a short time. It may be due to a spasm
or fit-like action in the nerves controlling
the circulation of blood in the brain,
producing in that one organ an effect
similar to the loss of consciousness in
epilepsy, but not affecting the remainder
of the body as the latter disease does.
In an article on windmills, the Scientific
American says: "An 8.5-foot wheel will
raise 3,000 gallons of water daily a distance
of twenty-five feet. Jts first cost,
including the pump and a plain tower,
is about $150. A 10-foot wheel will
raise about 0,000 gallons of water a day
a like distance, and cost $180, including
the appurtenances above mentioned. A
12-foot wheel will raise 16,000 gallons of
water a day the above distance, and cost,
with the 3ume appurtenances, $210. So
up, from 14 to 10, 18 to 20-fect diameter
of wheel, which costs about $1,200 and
will raise about 100,000 gallons of water
daily the specified distance."
Minnis Hadch, a colored blacksmith of
Montgomery, Va., has lately invented a
piece of very simple machinery by which
the striking hammer is easily and effectively
worked by his foot, while he has
both hands free to hold his iron and use
the small hammer. To a listener the
blows come as naturally and as rapidly
as if there were two men handling
the hammers in the old-fashioned way,
but there is a difference. The machine,
by au easy motion of the foot on the
treadle, strikes a harder blow than any
man can strike, andean be made,at will,
to strike as light a blow as may be
needed. But the use of this simple and
chcap dcvice in the blacksmith shop is
not half. It can be just as easily used,
and will find a large field of usefulness,
in driving a drill or blasting rock.
Some Weather Signs.
Cats?The cardinal point to which a
cat turns and washes her face after a
rain shows the direction from which the
wind will blow. Cats with their tails up
and hair apparently electrified indicate
approaching wind. If sparks arc seen
when stroking a cat's buck, expect a
change of weather soon. When a cat
washes her face with her back to the
fire, expect a thaw in winter.
Buzzards?A solitary turkey buzzard
at a distance indicates rain. Buzzards
flying high indicates fair weather.
Crows?One crow flying alone is a
sign of foul weather; but if crows fly in
nairs, expect fine weather.
Geese?If the breastbone of a goose
is red or lias many red spots, expect a
cold and stormy winter; but if only .a
few spots are visible the winter will be
mild. ]f domestic geese walk cast and
lly west expect cold weather. When
geese or ducks stand on one leg expect
cold weather.
Roosters?When the roosters go crowing
to bed they will rise with watery
head.
Spiders?When they arc seen crawling
on the walls more than usual indicates
that rain will probably ensue. Tbis
prognostic seldom fails. It has been observed
for many years," particularly in
winter, but more or less at all times of
the year.
Snakes are out beforo rain, and are,
therefore, more easily killed.
Electricity ? Increasing atmospheric
electricity oxidized ammonia in the air
and forms nitric acid, which aftccts milk,
thus accounting for souring of milk by
thunder.
Lamp wicks:
The nightly virgin, while her wheel she plies,
Foresees the storm impending in the skies;
When sparkling lamps their sputtering lights
advance,
And in their sockets oily bubbles dance.
Corns giving trouble indicate bad
weather. When corns ache rain follows.
Logs?An easy splitting log indicates

Terrible Scene at a Bull Fight.
A Madrid correspondent says: At the
bull light which took place in Vittoria a
few days ago a scene occurred which is
seldom witnessed on these occasions.
The first bull having been dispatched by
the primer espada Lagartijo, the carcasses
of bull and horses dragged away,
and the blood marks covercd with fresh
sand,the signal was given for the sccond
bull. The beast appeared at the entrance,
looking suspiciously around him,
and as a torero ran pa9t him, he rushed
out, more like a tiger than a bull, and
with such imoetus that clearing the bar
rier by a flying leap be alighFed in the
midst of the terrified crowd. Those
nearest to the bat rier jumped or fell
headiong into the arena, while others
were tossed into the air. Ladies in the
palcos screamed and fainted, while the
bull kept driving furiously into confused
crowds of men women and children,
killing some, and wounding others very
severely. A company of civil guards,
which were drawn up in line to keep
order during the bull fight, ran off.
When the bull had cleared half the plaza
of its occupants, lie paused to take
breatli aud look at the arena, which was
full of spectators. Finding at last a gate
open, he trotted out to the promenade,
sending several men, women and children
flying in the air. At last ho was
brought down by three shots fired at
him by a civil guard. When calm had
been restored, the people very deservedly
hissed the civil guards and toreros for
their cowardice.
Clipping and Leeching.
' I commenced the practice of cupping
and leeching for the cure of many ol
the ills that man is heir to some sixty
years ago," said Mrs. Harriet O'Connor,
an octogenarian who resides, still hale
and hearty,on Fifth street, below South.
"When I started practising in this city .
there were about three hundred persons
engaged in the business, and many a
struggling artist earned his first dollar
in painting the fancy signs which
adorned the window sills or hung projecting
from the front of the otlice of

within the past faw years, and at "present
there arc but twelve persons in the
whole city following the profession for a
livelihood."
The leeches used now arc brought from
Sweden and Norway, although those
found in the pine districts of New Jersey
are much more preferable. Foreign
leeches will take from three to five times
their weight in blood, six being generally
applied for every fluid onnce of blood to
be drawn. When leeches are scarce they
are utilized several times before being
thrown away, and to compel them to disgorge,

simply enormous. The leeches arc packed
in moss and shipped in air-tight wooden
buckets, and must be kept in a ccol, dark

THE SIEGE OF VICKSBURG.
EXTRACTS FROM GENERAL OR AST'S
ACCOUNT OF THE FAMOUS SEIOE.
Beginning of the Siege?Explodlnp
lUlne? Before the City?General
Pcmberton'ft Sclieme to Escape.
The following extracts arc tuken from
~ < < -e .1 :
itcnenu u rants account ui iuu u:
Vicksburg, published in [lie Ccnlunj.
Describing the beginning of the siege
the general writes:
"We had no sioge gilns except six
thirty-two pounders, and there were
none at the West to draw from. 'Admiral
Porter, however, supplied us with a
battery of navy guns of large caliber,and
with these, and the lield artillery used in
[he campaign, the siege begau. The
first thing tc do was to get the artillery
in batteries where they would occupy
commanding positions; then, to establish
the camps, under cover from the fire of
the enemy, but as near up as possible;
und then to construct rifle pits and covered
ways, to conncct the entire command
by the shortest route. The enemy
did not harass us much while we were
constructing our batteries. Probably
their artillery ammunition was short, and
their infantry was kept down by our
sharpshooters, who were always on the
alert and ready to fire at a head whenever
it showed itself above the rebel
works.
"In no place were our lines more than
six hundred yards from tho enemy. It
was necessary, therefore, to cover our
men by something more than tho ordinary
parapet. To give additional protection,
sand-bags, bullet-prool, were piaceu
along the tops of ihe parapets, far enough
apart to make loopholes for musketry.
On top of these, logs were put. By these
means the men were enabled to walk
about erect when off duty, without fear
of annoyance from sharpshooters. The
enemy used in their defence explosive
musket-balls, thinking, no doubt, that,
bursting over our men in the trenches,
they would do some execution. I do not
remember a single case where a man was
injured by a piece of one of these slietls.
"When they were hit, and tne ball exploded,
the wound was terrible. In these
cases a solid ball would have hit as well.
Their use is barbarous, because they produce
increased suffering without any
corresponding advantage to those using
them.
"The enemy could not resort to our
method to protect their men, because we
had an inexhaustible supply , of ammunition
to draw upon, and used it freely.
Splinters from the timber would have
made havoc among the men behind.
"There were no mortars with the besiegers,
exccpt those that the navy had
in front of the city; but wooden ones
were made by taking logs of the toughest
wood that could be found, boring them
out for six or twelve pounder shells, and
binding them with strong iron bands.
These answered as coehorns, and shells
were successfully thrown from them into
the trenches of the enemy.
''The la:>or of building the batteries
and of mtrcnching was largely done by
the pioneers, assisted by negroes who
came within our lines and who were paid
for their work; but details from the line
had often to be made. The work was
pushed forward as rapidly as possible,
und when an advanced pc-sition was secured
and covered from the fire of the
eaemy, the batteries were advanced. By
the 30th of June there were two hundred
and twenty gunsinpositioD, mostly light
field-pieces, beside a battery of heavy
guns belonging to, and manned and
commanded by, the navy. "We were now
as strong for defense against the garrison
of Vicksburg as they were against us;
but I knew that Johnson was in our rear,
and was receiving constant re-enforcements
from the East. lie had at this
time a larger force than I had had at any
time prior to the battle of Champion
Hill."
Writing about the explosion of mines
before the beleaguered city, General
Grant says:
"From the 2:'d of May the work of
fortifying, and pushing forward onr
position nearer to the enemy, had been

the Jackson road in front of ltansoui's
brigade a sap was run up to the enemy's
parapet, nnd by the 2oth of .Tune we had
it undermined and the mine charged.
The enemy had countermined, but did
notnucceed in reaching our mine. At this
particular point the hill on which stood
the rebel work rises abruptly. Our sap
ran close up to the outside of the enemy's
parapet. In fact this parapet was
also our protection. The soldiers of the
two sides occasionally conversed pleasantly
across this barrier; sometimes tliey
would exchange the hard bread of the
Union soldiers for the tobacco of the
Confederates, and at other times they
threw over hand-grenades, the rebels
throwing them first, and our men often
catching them in their hands and returnSrwr
ilif.111
J"^ v,,v""
"Our mine had been started some distance
back down the hill; consequently,
when it had extended as far as the parapet,
it was many feet below it. This
caused the failure of the enemy iD his
search to find and destroy it. On .the
2.1th of June, at 3 o'clock, all being
ready, the mine was exploded. A heavy
artillery fire all along the line had been
ordered to open with the explosion. The
effect was to blow the top of the hill
off and make a crater where it stood.
The brcach was not sufficient to enable
us t) pass a column of attack through.
In fact, the enemy, having failed to
reach our mine, had thrown up a line
farther back, where most of the men
guarding that point were placed. There,
were a few men, however, left
at the advance line, and others
were working in the countermine,
which was still being pushed to
find ours. All that were there were
thrown into the air. some of them coming
down on our side, still alive. I remember
one colored man, who, naving been
under ground at work when the cxplo

lie was not much hurt, but terribly
frig.." ""ned. Some one asked him how
high hj had gone up. "Dun no, massa,
but t'ink 'bout free mile," was his reply.
General Logan commanded at this point,
and took this colored inan to his quarters,
where he did service to the end of
the siege.
"As soon as the explosions took place
the crater was seized by two regiments
of our troops who were near by, under
cover, where they had been placed for
the express purpose. The enemj made a
desnerate effort to expel them, but
failed, and soon retired behind his newline.
From here, however, they threw
hand grenades, which did some execution.
The compliment was returned by
our men, but not with so much effect.
The enemy could lay their grenades on
the parapet, which alone divided the
contestants, and roll them down upon
us; while from our side they had to be
thrown over ihe parapet, which was at
considerable elevation. During the
night we made efforts to secure our posi
tion in the crater against the missiles of
the enemy, so as to run trenches along
the outer base of their parapet, right
and left; but the enemy continued
throwing their grenades, and brought
boxes of field ammunition (shells),
the fuses of which they would
light with port-tires, and throw them by
hand into our ranks. "We found it impossible
to continue this work. Another
mine was consecjuently started, which
was exploded on the 1st of July, destroying
an entire redan, killing and wounding
a considerable number of its occupants,
and leaving an immense chasm where it
stood. No attempt to charge was made
this time, the experience of the 2")th ndmonishing
us.. Our loss in the first affair
was about thirty killed and wounded.
The enemy trust have lost more, in the
two explosions than we did in the first.
\Yc lost none in tne secona.
Referring to General Pembcrton's |
scheme to escapc from Yicksburg, Gmnt j
writes :
'About this time an intercepted dis-j
patch from Johnston to Pcinberton informed
me that Johnston intended to j
make a determined attack upon us, in-j
order to relieve the garrison of Vicks- !
burg. I knew the garrison would make
110 formidable effort to relieve itself. The
picket iines were so close to each other
?where there was space enough between
the lines to pest pickets?that the
men could converse. On the 21st of

men had been canvassed to
ascertain if they would make an !
assault on the "Yankees" to cut their ,
way out; that they had refused, and had j
almost mutinied because their commander
would not surrender and relieve ,
their sufferings, and had only been paci- j
lied by the assurance that boats enough j
would be finished in a week to carry
them all over. The rebel pickets also 1
said that houses in the city had lieen I
pulled down to get material to build j
these boats with. Afterward this story |
was verified. On entering the city wo
found a large number of vsry rudely I
constructed boats.
"All n<><?/?nfiftrv9tormwer8at onco taken !
to render such an attempt abortive. Our
pickets were doubled; Admiral Porter
was informed, so that the river might be
more clo9elv watched; material was collected
on the west bank of the river with
which to light it up if the attempt was
made; and batteries were established
along the levee crossing the peninsula on
the Louisiana side. Had the attempt
been made, the garrison of Vicksburgwould
have been drowned, or made
prisoners on the Louisiana side. General
llichard Taylor was expected on the west
bank to cooperate in this movement, I
believe; but he did not come, nor could
he have done so with a force sufficient to
be of service."
NEWS AND NOTES FOR WOMEN.
Fine brocaded alpacas arc both pretty
and inexpensive.
The wraps worn this summer are short,
dressy visites of lace.
Fringes are made with pendents simulating
various kinds of nuts.
Fine silk bolting cloth is one of the
latest freaks as a dress material.
Black is much worn, brightened by
dashes of yellow, red or violet.
Velvet is a popular material for facing
hat brims and should be of some color
becoming to the wearer.
Classed under round pins are gold
knots showing three, four and sometimes
more rings studded with gems.
The beaded lace gauze and grenadine
of this season is made to wear; the beads
do not rub off, as those of last summer.
Silk and satin are no lougcr correctly
worn on the street, the tailor-made cloth
or novelty wool frock having completely
superseded everything else for walking.
Handsome silk, satin, crepe, or wide
ribbon sashes painted in water colors and
signed by well known artists, are the
latest extravagance of fashionable Paris
ians.
A popular design for bracelets is that
of a whip, the braided lash of which encircles
the arm and knots around the
jeweled handle, forming the top of the
ornament.
A Miss Helen Taylor has consented to
stand for North Cnmberwell, England,
at the next election, there being no law
againat a woman sitting and voting inthe
house of. commons.
There are no plain skirts this season.
Even the polonaise has the skirt plaited
or gathered to the edge of the waist,
which may be round or bodice-shaped,
as one's form will admit.
A few of the newest tailor dresses
have a large fan-shaped plait inserted in
the front of the skirt. It is narrowest
at the waist and broadens in width as it
goes toward the end of tho skirt.

A Horse That Prefers Mnsic to Oats
''There's a horse that would ruther
listen to music than eat," said the driver
of a Brooklyn livery coach team, pointing
to a bright-eyed, Koman-nosed,
shapely nag. '*Thc way I found out that
is this: I feed my team at, 4 o'clock in
the afternoon to be ready for evening
calls. Then I go home for half an hour
for my own supper. Well, usually he
would have his mess all eaten up clean
when I got back; but once a week I
would find his oats untouched, or that he
had just begun to feed. It puzzled me
for a number of weeks; but one day I
happened to stay at the stable all of the
afternoon, and then I found what was
the matter. Our boss, who lives next
door to the stable, has a disabled child,
and one of the amusements he gives her
is to have some of these Italian street
musicians come and play under her window
for twenty minutes or so, when the I
little girl throws them a quaitcr. This
makes them come very regularly. On
the afternoon I speak of they were there,
and just as they struck up that horse,
whose stall is near the door, turned his
head and seemed to listen as attentively
as a person. One day the boss asked me
why I didn't feed at the right time. I !
told him the musicians had been around;
and related what I had discovered. 11c
seemed to doubt the story; so to prove
it to him I took a harmonica from my
pocket, an experiment I had tried before,
and played several lively tunes. The
horse took his head out of the manger
and kept it up with ears cocked and nostrils
wide until I stopped. 'Old Opera.'

it seems so bright and I feel so much
fresher." "I)o you, dear? I should not
think that possible." And then he

away, his sighs keeping time to the
surges as they lashed themselves to foam

Sensations Way Up.
A writer in the Denver Tribune-liepub
| Uctin tells of his sensations on reaching
the top of Gray's Peak, the highest point
I of the Pocky mountains:
At this point one's feelings and impressions
arc very strange and peculiar
indeed. He actually feels very much as
if he were rising above and passing away
from the world, and as if it were sinking
away and receding from him; and as if
lie were taking his dnal farewell to this
beautiful world of ours, and which looks
a thousand times more grand and beauti
ful as one rises higher and higher above
it, and it seems to sink down and recede
. farther and farther from him. This
feeling and impression was so strong at
the time that it led me to think of the
departure of the human soul from its
body; and the beauty and grandeur of
the final farewell to earth, while,perhaps,
at the same lime, the still grander and
more beautiful opening scenes of the
spirit world are breaking upon its view.
Bnsiucss for the Dentists.
The drift of fashionable cookery to day
is toward tho disease of teeth, since
soups, stews, boned, bruised and hashed
meats, soft biscuits, rolls, puddings,
j pastries, cakes, etc., appear to be taking
the placc of the cider and more resisting
forms of table dishes. This is providing
business for the dentists, some of whom
have courageously warned society of the
danger they incur. To have good teeth
we must supply the materials of which
teeth arc made, but unless these materials
arc supplied in such forms as shall exercise
well the masticatory organs our expectations
of smooth growth and durability
will not bu realized. Whoever
said that "a hard crust is the best dentifrice"
declared a truth that should be
published everywhere.?Argonaut.
Among the remarkable stories which
Georgia lias put forth recently is one to
the clfsct that a jet black kitten turned

The Famous Notre Dame.
On the 30th of last January, the Sisters
of the most noted Catholic ladies seminary
in the United States, the famous
Notre Dame, at Govanstown, near Baltimore,
Md., made public a card, certifying
to the beneliciid results attending the
use of lied Star Cough Cure in that insti- i
tution. They state that they foimd it i
efficacious alike for relieving coughs,
oppressions on the chest and irritation of
the throat. Officials of the Boards of
Health of Brooklyn, Baltimore and other
cities have likewise publicly proclaimed
the virtues of this new discovery, which
is entirely free from opiates, poisons and
other objections.
