Yet sweet Katy, even in that sim
pie dre&itk,igeyes blue as the tur
quioise sash which bound her slender
waist, was no loss attractive than
her haughty cousin, and so thought
Floyd Laurence as he stood chat

beauty which often cast Katy in the
shade-but Katy was poor, and a

"Oh ; I do not thinkr so much of
a good family !" said Laura, who,
having heard that Floyd Laurence
belonged to onieof the . F.V's,"
desired to create an impression.
"Why, I wouldn't look at a prince if
he did not come of a g o od
stock."
to do so, 'Laura," laughed Katy, a
mischievous twinkle coming into
her eyes as she met Floyd's glance.
"Oh, of course I mean if they
could do ~rie"said Laura,
reddeiu irie varation at her mis
take. And then, glad to change
thie conversation she turned to Ma
ry West and began to make inqui
ries about some beautiful lace she
wgs istearmng.
"I got it a& Warburton's" said
Mary, smiling.
-"Oh, I must get some to-morrow,
if there is a yard left," cried Laura.
"I shalbe sure to be there right
away. Yes, that is our waltz, Mr.
Laurence," and taking his arm, she
moved gracefully away.
"Hem-yes-they are pretty girls
-thi.sweetest girls I saw to-night,"
soliloquized Floyd Laurence in his
own room that night. "But I won

He ige, lit a gar, and sat
down to smoke away his fancies.
Suddenly he sprang up, flung the
ciger in the grate, and began to
pace the room.
"By Jove! I've got an idea !"
said he. "Miss Laura is going to
Warburton's to-morrow; and N6r
burton happens to be a friend of
mine-I think rl go there, too I
He'll enter into the thing, Im sure;
and rve a fancy to see if Floyd
Laurence behind a counter, and
Floyd Laurence in Mrs. Howard's
ball-room, stand just the same in
Miss Carlisle's estimation. Heigho! I
wonder if that pretty, blue-eyed
cousin will come with her?"
After dinner next day, Miss Car
lisle's carriaga stopped before War
burton's store,and the haughty beau
ty and cousin Katy entered the
wide doors and crossed over to the
lace counter.
"Show me your finest Mechlin,"
began- Miss Laura, but stopped in
utter amazement, as she recognized
in the polite clerk her partner of
the night.before. "Mr. Lauwne1
she exclaimed.
And Katy opening her blue eyes
very wide, repeated the exlamation
".r Laurece, we didn't expect to
see yoQ here!"
"Why not?"asked our hero, smil
ingly.
"We were not aware-we did n6t
know that you-" began Miss Laura,
haughtily, and Floyd finished her
sentence.
"That I was Mr. Warburton's
cerk ? What style of lace would
you prefer ?"
"Thank you-I do not care about
the lace to-day. Katy, come we are
iniash" -
hWarned ai her silken
but Katy her eeks
,lingerd~t give one little
white hand t6 loyd Laurenee, and
say ordi"ly:
"Mr. Laurence, remember, you
promised last night to call upon me.
I-that is, we shall expect yoA."
And Floyd, as he ventured lightly
to press that tiny, little hand, said,
ferenty, "Thankfyo, Ishall ste
ly come!"
"The idea-! The very idea!" cried
Laura Carlisle, indignantly, when
they were in their carriage. "What
doea rs. Howard mean by intro
ducing such persons to her guests?
I'll never forgive her ! To think I
should have danced with 'a -low
clerk !"
"Why, Laura, I am sure he is a
perfect gentlemam," said Katy.
"Gentleman, indeed! A common
clerk pretend to be a gentleman,
and aspire to goa society ! Katy
Carlisle you are a little idiot !"
"At least, like him as much now
as I did last night," said Katy, with
spirit.
"Vrery well, indulge your low
tastes if you like,"~ returned Laura,
scornfully, "I shallecertainly not cul
tivate his acquaintance."
A few evenings later, as Laurs
stood, robed like a princess, in
Judge Glover's elegant saloon, she
saw Floyd Laurence making his way
toward her.
"He here ! .Are people all gone
ma? But he won't'date to address
me!" she thought, her bright cheeki
reddening angrily.
But he did dare, coming up to
her with a frank, gentlemanly greet
ing. Laura looked full in his
eyes, with a glance which mighi
have turnedhim away, in haughty si
lence.
Floyd's handsome face did not
even flush; he only elevated his fine
eyebrows,wile a curious smile curv
ed his mouth, just as a soft voice
behind him said, imxpulsively:
"Mr. Laurence, won't you shake
hands with me ?"
He turned quickly, and then, in.
deed iisface did flush and his eyes
kindled~ as-lie'once more held the
soft little hand he held once be
fore, with astrange thlllin his
breast.
"Are you brave enough to ac
knowledge the acquaintance of a
mere clerk, in this place, Miss Car,
lisle?" he asked.
"I don't care whether you are
a 'clerk' or a king," said Katy, in
nocently, smiling up in his faea
I"You are agetleman!, and I like
"Thank you," said Laurence
drawing her arm within his own
"Then, perhaps, you will promenade
ith mea n.few moments."
"Yes, for I Wish to remi-nd you
that you have not kept your promise
to call on us."
"But I will," answered Floyd Lau
rence. And as he looked down in
to her blue eyes,there was something
in his gaze which set Katy Carlisle's
tender, little heart all of a flut
ter.
Well, Laurence called at Mr. Car
lisle's handsome mansion, and pur
posbly asked for "the young la
dies." Laura scornfully declined
to go down stairs but told Katy
that her "aristocratic" acquaintance
was waiting to see her, and Katy
hastened to receive him, and enter
tained him to the best of her abili
ty. .
She sneceeded so well that Floyd
Laurenee came again. And on this
second call, unconventional little
Katy, who was alone in the parlor,
openpd the door for him herself,
and met him with a frank wel
come.
"So, then, you still like me ?" ask
ed FlQyd, ashe stood in the centre of
the great parlor, with the little
hand she had given him clasped be
tween his own.
"Yes-I--I-think so," said Ka
ty, flutteringly, the roses coming
and going on her fair cheek.
"But -iiking' won't satisfy me
any longer," said Floyd, with a rare
SmA "I want something else
something far warmer, sweeter,
stronger! Is it in your dear little
heart to give, Katy darling!"
And Ka,' giving him a shy

"Yes, I think so !"

"My dear girl, I don't know what

Hoard, with a perplexed look.
"Yg surely know that Mr. Lau -

in Mr. Warburton's store?"
"wy dlear youing lady I surely

Poor Laura! She tried to conceal
the bitter 'disappointment rending
in her heart, but it was hard to
know the golden prize had slipped
from her grasp, and only through

Nevertheless, she put the best
face possible on the matter, was
vey afectionate to Katy and cor

lesness on every possible occasion,
to "my dear cousin, Mrs. Floyd

AN EDITOR ON A RAMPAGE
Once upon a time an editor, aftei
revolving in his weary mind a fem
of the wearing problems which ar4
the mysteries of his singular pro
fession, left the seclusion of his offief
and sallied forth into the busy worli
to do among men as he was don
by. He had long years ago beer
disabused of any impression whici
might have haunted his mind thal
he knew anything about editing I
paper, for every man who came int<
his office knew more about that bus
iness than the unfortunate editoi
did, and never scrupled to tell him
so. But the poor man thought il
would be a very agreeable and pleas
ant thing to do as others did,I anZ
it was for the purpose of following
general custom that he went out or
this beautiful day so long ago.
The sun was shining brightly, th4
dull distant hum of insect life ii
the adjoining country came to hii
ears; birds were singing, and s<
serene and peaceful was the aspec
of nature that it seemed impossible
in such a bright, beautiful world
there could be such misery, wretch
edness, wickedness and total deprav
ity. But there was all the same
for there was the. .editor- to prov<
it.
He went into the office of a law
yer with whom he was slightly ac
quainted, and, seating himself in i
chair, put his feet on the desk an<
began whistling "Silver Threadi
Aniong the Gold," in a loud tone o
whistle. The attorney looked as
tonished, and asked what his visit
or wanted. He said nothing, bu
took a bundle of paper,s from a pig
eon hole and b.egau t look,en
over and read aloud. When h(
got through, the indignant lawye
took his visitor by the neck .ani
gently but firmly kicked him dowi
stairs.
"And yet," mused the unhapp;
man as he brushed off his clothei
and went limping on his way, "tha
man was in my office only day be
foi e yesterday and read three o
my articles before they were publish
ed. It is singular how ,different i
is when I read his."
He went into a dry goods stor<
and had just time to get behini
the counter when a lady came 11
and asked for some brown satin.
"Yesam," he said.
After creating an earthquake i2
that part of the store, he followei
her directions and got what shi
wanted.
"How much do you want 1" hi
asked, "about half a column ?"
She, stared.
"Thirty or forty lines be enough,'
he inquired.
She said she wanited half a yard
"Ah!" he said. "About eighteel
squares-y~es, yes."
.''And cut on the bias," she con
tinued.
"Certainly," he said, "buy a
much as you please." And begal
to tear the goods in various shape
when the merchant collared hit
and put him dut.
"And yet," the poor man muse.
as he went on, "that very man wrot
two articles for the paper the othe
day, declaring that.they were bel
ter than anything I had written fo:
six months, and, although sevent;
subscribers stopped their pape
when they were published, he neve
sent anything around to pay fo
it"
He turned sadly into a dri
store, took a prescription from
poor woman standing there, looks
it wisely over, and then took a litti
quinine, morphine and stryehnin4
put them up in powders, and tol<
the woman to give her husband on
every* two' hours until he didn
complain any more about his heai
As she went out of the door one C
the powders spilled on a dog's bacl
and the animal died in three se<
onds. The editor was arrested, an<
only released on giving -a solemn
promise to support the sheriff fo
a re-election.
"How is it," he wondered, "tha
all classes of men, of all occups
tions, have found time not only t
perfect themselves in their ow:
business and professions, but als
to master mine more thoroughl
han I hahaben able to do hy gil
ing my entire time and strength to
it ?"
He sighed as he walked. into the
bank. He put his head in at the
paying tellers window and shouted
"Hellow !" as loud as he could roar.
Then he drummed on the glass
with his fingers and was forcibly
ejected by the porter.
"I give it up," he said. "I am
the most worthless of mankind.
I don't know how to attend to any
body's business but my own ;" and
so he walked drearily back to his
sanctum, where he found. seven
men, four of them perfect stringers
to him, occupying the chairs, poring
over the exchanges, reading the
proofs, and commenting thereon,
and making fan of his pet articles.
Ho sat down on the wood box and
tried to think up a leader for the
next day's paper, and dropped a tear
as he xecalled his boyhood's happy
days, and the time that would
elapse before the pirate, sitting on
his own particular arm chair, would
get through cutting the best things
out of the latest papers and putting
them in his hat. But he looked
out of the window and saw an ex
patriated local trying to write up
his notes against the side of a brick
house on the other side of the street,
and he felt some gleam of comfort
from this company in his misery
and took courage.

IS JUELMBOLD CRAZY? I
SOME CRAZY MEN AND TE CRAZWST OF
AL THE POSSMLE CRAZY MEN.
We met Dr. H. T. Helmbold, the
ex-buchu prince,in the Gilsey House
corridor last evening.
"Doctor," we observed, after a
cordial salutation, "the public seem
to be, at this particular time, deep- I
ly interested in your general welfare. t
Every member of the human family
regards you as an old-time benefae
tor to his race. The newspapers,
local and'distant, teem with conflict
ing reports concerning your men
tal condition. What are your own t
impressions on the subjuct of your
alleged insanity ?" C
"As for the matter of insanity,"
responded the famous little doctor,
with a smile, "every human .being
is more or less insane on one idea
or several. A man can be insane
on a question of love, another
on a question of religion, a Ahird
on one of worldly possessions, a
fourth on politics, and so on."
"Then you are willing to .admit
that you yourself are insane on
some theory or other ?" I inter
rupted.
"I confess that =am," was his an
swer.
"Whereon, doctor ?"
"Brichiw"
"In what sense?"
"That it can eure any ill man or
beast is heir to-anything, from a
headache to the glanders."
"Tell me, doctor, are you of opin
ion that George Francis Train is
crazy ?"
"Most decidedly."
"Cite some other instances of
crazy men, plepse.
"Well, no," began the gret ad
eruser, hikin Se '

"there's Grant, he's crazy on his re

rHE EXPIRING VRT OIF THE
CARPET-BAGGER.
It was less than a year ago when
he veriest carpet:bagger of them
11 could call upon the Federal Ad
inistration fortroops,andget them,
oo,without question or explanation.
rhe drum-tap of the marching regi
nent was the quick reply to the car
>et-bagger's demand, and the -drum
ap and the tramp of the troops was
oehoed throughout the South.
Lhose were the golden days of the
arpet-bagger; but they were nigh
)n to their end then, and one of the
ast outrages they witnessed- was
he election to the Gabernatioral
hair of Mississippi of that chief
>f carpet-baggers, Adelbert Ames.
3e was and is Governor of Missis
ppi by graceof ."ad for troops,"
mnd by the same means of grace he
lesires to continue to hold 'the
-eins of power in.that State.
But this is not a good time to
itart anew the wheels of the carpet
)ggers' outrage mill, or to call for
roops. There has been a remarka
>le change in public -opinion since
idelbert Ames was hoisted in the
1abernatorial chair of Mississippi
)u the point of Federal bayonets.
Ar. Attorney General Williams,
f Oregon, was chief engineer of
he outrage factory then and he
kept its wheels going by.lubricating
hem with "more troops" whenever

heels were squeaking. . Bat Mr.
Williams is not chief engineer any
nore. He has retired to hisUative
wilds of Oregon, -and in his place
sits, wisely conscious of his respon

meas, but that- his- high hraster
3hould stand as a rebuke to, and
I protest against th 4ishonest,
iisgracful andignorang iiilaimin
stration of his immediate prede
mesor. The.onrage mill, the inso
lent demandu,and the prompt con
pliance with those demands for
broops by the usurping carpet-bag
ers of the South, are things of the
past, and. though they were in full
peration less thdra year ago, it
seems almost impossible to -believe
bhat they ever received the sanction
of the government. They were
wrongs without excuse; being so,
bhey were condemned by the hion
~sty of the whole nation, and there
shoul be no more hope of their
revival than there is chance of the
political resurrection of Landaulet

i toad takig off his clothes.
bout the middle of July I found
a toad on a hill of melons, and,
cot wanting him to leave, hoed
around him. He appeared sluggish
mad not inclined to move. Present
Ly I observed him pressing his el
b~ows against his - sides, rubbing
iownward. He appeared so singu
lr thatIwatched to see what he was
uip to. After a few smart rubs, his
skin began to burst open straight
long the back Now, said I, old
ellow, you have done it; but he
appeared to be unconcerned, and
kept on rubbing until he had work
ad down all his skin into folds on
the sides and hips; then grasping
ne leg with his hands, he hauled
of one leg of his pants 'the same
as anybody would, and stripped
the other' the same way ! He
hen took his cast-off cuticle
orward, between his forelegs in
bo his mouth, and swallowed it ;
hen by raising and lowering his
head, swallowing as his head came
dwn, he stripped off the skin un
ierneath until it came to his fore
legs, and then grasping one of
hese with the opposite hand, by
sonsiderable pulling stripped off
bhe skin. Changing hands, he
tripped the other, and by a slight
2otion of the head he drew it from
bhe throat and swallowed the whole.

greeable one, and occupied but
short time.

SICE N ES.
Don't whisper in t h e sick
room.
When the doctor comes to see
you, remembet how many p"irs of
stairs he has to climb every day,
and go down to him if you are
well enough.
When you are sitting up at night
with a patient, be sure to have
something to eat, if you wisl to save
yourself unnecessary exhaustion
Remember that sick people are
not necessarily idiotic or imbecile,
and that it is not always wise to
try to persuade them-that their-suf.
ferings are imaginary. They may
even at times know best what they
need.
Never deceive a dying person un
less by the doctor's express orders.
It is not only wrong to allow say
soul to go into eternity without
preparation, but how can yo tel
but that he has something he ought
to tell or do before he goes away'
If you have a sick friend to
whom you wish to be of use, do not
content yourself with -sending her
flowers and jelly, but lend her one
of your pictures to Mig in place
of hers, of a bronze to replace the
one at which she is so tired of star
mng.
Don't have needesseonversations
with the doctor outside of the sick
room. Nothing will ercite and irri
tate a nervous patient sooner. If
you do have such conversations,
don't tell the patient that flbe doc
tor said "nothing." He won't be
lieve you, and he wiRlimagin. the
worst possible.
In lifting the sick, do not take
them by the shoulers and drair
them up on to the plllows,rbut get
some~.Qne. to help. Yom ,et -one
stand:on one side of the patient,
the other opposite, 4henjoin lads
under the shoulders and .hips, and
lift steadily and promptly together.
This method.ia easy fr. those who
lift;:and does not -distarbd he one
who is lifted.
Do not imagine that your Auty
is over when you have nursed your
patient through Illness, and .he is
about the house, or perhiapis going
out-again. Strength~ does not come
back in a momenty and th days
when little efforts exhaust, when
the cares ot business begin to press,
but the feeble brain sad hand re
fuse to think sa execute, are the
most trying to the sick one, and
then comes the need for your ten-.
derest care, your most unobtrdsive
watchfulness.--"RoIJe and Socie
ty;" Bcribner for September.
Sova BosToN TEsmBi'nGes As
ToNI5mE.Atthemuseumlastnight,
just as the orchestra were taking
their seats, a man appsrently about
forty years of age, well dressed,
in the centre of the balcony and
said in a clear voice:i
LADIEs AND OGmESLzm: Before
the entertainment commences this
evening, I should like to tell you all
that unless you change your way of
living and follow in the footsteps
of Jesus Christ, instead of wasting
your lives in theatres, you will all
certainly go to hell.
The audience was at first -- as
tonished that there was a momen
tary silence,.which was followed by
mingled applause and hisses, and
the man was put out by the asbers
without a show of resistance and
apparantly any.desice to stay. He
then went. direetly to the Boston
Theatre, and the curtsin had just
risen when he arose again in the
centre of the balcony and said:
LADIEDAD-GZETLXIN Iam Sent
here to interrupt this preformance
by the Lorg Jesus Christ. I warn
you of your danger.
Again he was. ushered out, and
this time was taken to the police
station. He gave the name of An
drew Leslie, formerly of St. Louis,
Missouri, and lately a member of
the divinity school at Cambridge.
As he seemed tobek(labrng under
a temporary insanity, Dr. Toye was
summoned, and decided that the
temporaryiiRaesswas caused by over
work.--Bostonl Advertiser.
