THE SNOWBALLS; OB, FKANK EDMONDS SISTEB. BY G. Ii. A. C. "May I wait hero for a car?" inquired Miss Dora Drawvee, in Mrs. Le Mar's fashionable millinery store, on a pleasant autumn afternoon. "Certainly," replied Mrs. Le Mar, for Dora was one of her best customers. "Here is a chair. There appears to be something wrong with the cars; it has been more than twenty minutes since one passed." Dora accepted the proffered chair and a pleasant conversation ensued, which was interrupted by the entrance of a poorly dressed lady. The milliner turned to her with a frown upon her face, and sneering!v said: "What do you. want?" "I was directed here by Mrs. Collier, of C street. She said perhaps you might have some work to give out. "I have not" was the cold reply, and the applicant left the store. The conduct of Mrs. Le Mar so morti? fied Dora, for she was a" kind hearted girl and esteemed Mrs. Le Mar quite highly, that she concluded to wait no longer. She felt quite indignint when she left the place, but succeeded, in repressing her feelings. As she w alked up the street she soliloquized: "That was heartless in Mrs. Le Mar to treat the poor lady so unkindly. I won? der if she can do fine work; if I had her address I would call and see. Who did she say directed her there? Mrs. Collier of C street; why that is mamma's old housekeeper, and I huve been intending to call there to day, but came near for? getting it. Well, I will call there now." The street was but a short distance away, and she was soon there. As she turned off the avenue she saw the object of her soliloquy just ahead of her. "There she is now," said Dora. "I will follow her and Bee where she goes. That must be Mrs. Collier's residence? 14; yes, that is it." She was soon admitted and had a very pleasant call; but before she lefc she in? quired of Mrs. Collier who the stranger was that pr- :cded her into the house. "Ob, Isppposeyoo mean Mrs. Lesley," replied Mrs. Collier. "She rented two rooms of me a few weeks ago and has been trying to get work ever since; but, except two plain dresses she made for me, she has beeu unsuccessful. I wish, Miss Dora, your mother would let her have some sewing to do. She is very neat; or if your mother needed help oc sasiooally about the housework, I think uhe will find her capable. Would you mind going with me to ber room ?" "I would like very much to see her," said Dora, Accompanied by Mrs. Collier, Dora' went for a brief call, and then returned home. Later in the evening Mrs. Lesley received a bundle of work, and the pay in advance from Mrs. Drawvee.. "Is there any one you. can recommend for plain sewing, Mrs. Drawvee ?" asked Mrs. Hornshell, a few weeks later. "I employ Mrs. Lesley; she is a good sewer, and lives at 14 C street. I nave recommended her to others, and have employed her in sewing, also in assisting in household affairs. She -?s. beginning to find plenty of work,"1 was the answer, "and I am glad of it, for she is an esti? mable lady and quite needy." It was a sunshiny day tbe following spring that Dora wss out for a walk. Passing a florist's window she saw some snowballs for sale, and purchased them. An she went on she thought how accep? table some of these might be to Mrs. Lesley this beautiful spring morning, and soon decided to share with her. "Oh, Miss Drawvee I" exclaimed Mrs. Lesley, after she had welcomed Dora, "what a beautiful bunch of snowballs ' you' have 1 Many pleasant memories they recall to me." These are the first snowballs I have seen this spring." [ "These are for you, Mrs. Lesley," -said Dora, separating the bunch, and offering her part of them. "For me!" said Mrs. Lesley. "Oh, thank you. . You are very kind, very kind indeed. Ab, well do I remember the snowball bush we had in the door Srrd at home," she' continued, after she ad arranged the- flowers in a vase and ?placed it on the table. "For many years, Miss Drawvee, mv home was in a village a long ways from here. There I married, and. my husband rented a pretty place only a few streets distant from my former houu. We planted a snowball bush when we commenced housekeeping and it grew finely, and looked, ob, so beauti? ful when blooming. "I had on? brother, who lived in- the city of B???, who visited us once, and ? sometimes twice, a year. After my-hus 1 band's, death, & letter containing the. tidings was sent to him; but I received no answer. After a few months I con? cluded to go in search of him. I went to B-, but failed to find my brother. His place of business was occupied by a stranger; I was not successful in obtain? ing work and my money was nearly all gone; then I came on here to try to find employment. Pardon me, Miss Drawvee, perhaps I detain you." "Oh, no. And have you found your brother, Mro. Lesley ?" asked Dora, with interest. "No; it is now two years since I last saw him," Just then, along the ball came the rustle of silk, followed by a knock at tbe door, and in response to Mrs. Lesley's "come in," Miss Florence Gailney en? tered the room. She was clad in a spring suit of cashmere and silk of two shades of gray, with bonnet, gloves, and para? sols to match. "Are you Mrs. Lesley, the woman who. has been sewing for Mrs. Hornshell?" she asked almost insolently. "I am Mrs. Lesley, and I have sewed for Mrs. Hornshell," replied Mrs. Lesley, with far more dignity than tbe person who addressed her had shown. "Mrs. Hornshell recommended you to * me, and I have come to inquire your lowest terms for plain sewing," said Miss Gailney haughtily, "I cannot well engage to do any more work now," was the reply, "so I suppose you will not care for my terms." "Certainly not; I am not anxious to know your terms, nor do I wish to employ you." Dora recognized Miss Gailney as she came in, and intended to introduce her to Mrs. Lesley, but was prevented by her abrupt questions, and had remained un? observed. She now advanced and said: "Good morning, Florence." "Ah I quite an unexpected pleasure to meet you here, Dora. This person was recommended to me as a good sewer?" "Florence," said Dora quietly, "allow me to introduce my friend, Mrs. Lesley; Mrs. Lesley Miss Gailney." Florence was much surprised; certainly not at all pleased. She, however, ac? knowledged the introduction coolly, said "How do you do, Mrs. Lesley?" and then bidding Dora "good-bye," she left the hoose, regretting that she had come, especially as E?ora Drawvee was there. That evening in the richly furnished parlor of her home, Miss Gailey remarked to a gentleman caller: "I was so provoked to-day, Mr. Edmond. I went to inquire about having some sew? ing done, and the person I applied to ad? dressed me as if she belonged to the same class of society that I did, and not an inferior one. One of my acquaintances was there, and presumed to introduce me to the purson I had gone to employ! I believe X am not much of a republican," she added with a slight laugh. If she had hoped to be complimented on her anti-republicanism she was disap Eointed. Mr. Edmond soon concluded is visit. As it was early in tbe evening, he decided to call into Mrs. Drawvee's. Dora received him in the parlor. Indeed, she would have been disappointed if he had not called, for bis visits were becom? ing quite frequent. T'Ah, Miss Dora," he said, looking to? wards one of the tables, "you have here some snowballs; their beauty and fra? grance seem familiar to me. The snow? ball bush that adorned the door-yard of my sister's village home?how well I re? member it." "How strange," thought Dora, "that Mrs. Lesley should have made a similar interference! Can it be that both refer to the same snowball bush ?" "Mr. Edmond," asked Dora, after a few minutes reflection, "does your sister reside in that village now ?" "No," he said slowly, "I do not know where she is now. Before removing here from B?? I wrote where to send me letters, but received no reply. After a time I went to L-, where she had lived, but found that after her husband's death, of which I had not heard, she had Sone to B--to find me. My last letter ad arrived after her departure. I went to B-but gained no news ol her there ?no one had seen or heard anything of her." "How long ago was that, Mr. Ed? mond?" "About two years!" "Was your sister's last name Lesley?" "Yes," he said, with an anxious, in? quiring look. "Can it be, Miss Dora, that you have news of her for me?" "I do not know," answered Dora." "It may be. I am acquainted with a Mrs. Lesley, and she may be your sister." "Thank you," he said earnestly. It may not be her; but it is possible that it is. Where can I find her ?" -"If you come here about ten o'clock to-morrow morning Mrs. Lesley is ex? pected here then." ***** "Florence," said Mrs. Hornshell, a few months afterwards, "do you remember a Mrs. Lesley I recommended to you for plain sewing?" "Yes," replied .Florence, "I remember her quite well. Why, don't you think she tried to consider that she belonged to the same class of society that we do. Oh, how indignant I was!" "You know," said Mrs. Hornshell, "I attended Dora Drawvee's wedding recep? tion yesterday ?" "Yes; J was detained by company I didn't care to leave, and sent my re? grets." "I met Dora's sister-in-law there. Not a new acquaintance, Florence?Mrs. Lesley." "Why, Mrs. Hornshell!" "Yes; and it seems that Mrs. Drawee and Dora both valued Mrs. Lesley's friendship very highly when she sewed and worked for them. You know the reception was held in the pleasant house Mr. Edmond has bought, Florence, and Dora told me she was glad that Mrs. 'Lesleys was going to live with them. THe spacious rooms are very tastefully furnished, for most of the furniture was selected by Dora before she commenced housekeeping." "I suppose Mrs. Lesley is very proud now," said Florence. "I think not. While I was talking with her yesterday she referred to having sewed for me, and though very differently situated, she spoke very gratefully of my kindness to her when she lived on C street. No, I do not. think she has be? come proud, and she is too much of a republican to wish to be considered aris? tocratic"?Sunny South. ABOUT THE ELECTRIC LIGHT. The Frogrena that has been Made townrds Its Introduction as an Illuminator. There is probably more inventive geni? us engaged in working out the various possibilities of electricity at the present time than in any other direction. Cer? tainly, the recent achievements of inven? tion into which electricity enters as an agency have attracted a wider public attention than all others. The growth of this dabbling with the electric fluid by inventors, is indicated by the fact that at the Mechanics' Fair in Boston this Fall there have been eighteen entries classed under the head of electrical in? ventions, whereas four years ago there were but nine. Just now the greatest interest focuses on the endeavors to at? tain cheap electric lightning. The prac? tical applications of the electric light to every-day purposes are as yet mostly confined to England and France. The London Times has introduced the light into its establishment, and the London public board of works are experimenting with it along that magnificent boulevard called the Thames embankment. In Paris the use of the light is more com? mon. In this country the most notable display of the electric light is at the ?Mechanics' Fair in Boston, where two rival American machines, the Wallace Farmer and the Brush, are in operation '?side by" side,'illuminatiifg thelarge Ex "hrbition Hall with suulight'brilliancy. Four lights appear to be the capacity of the latter machine and five of the for? mer, and one uses carbon points or pen? cils, while the other consumes its carbon in the form of oblong plates. But a great defect of these lights, as well as ol the famous Jabblochkoff candle and all the oiher European devices for electric lightning, is that the carbon necessary to the illumination is burned away and has to be frequently renewed, thus adding sensibly to the cost of the light. The other difficulty is that, as the lights are multiplied on a given circuit, the illumi? nating power is reduced out of all pro? portion to the electricity expended. Edison claims to have remedied both of these defects. The past week has also brought to public attention still another inventor, who professes to have achieved the same thing in what is called "the Sawyer-Mann lamp." This lamp is on successful exhibition at New York, and a one and a half horse power engine is said to be equal to supplying sixty of them. It uses a single carbon pencil, but its burning away is avoided by sim? ply placing over it a hermetically sealed glass globe. By this arrangement the pencil is enveloped in an atmosphere of nitrogen gas in which it is incapable of being consumed. The lamp gives an excellent light, is under perfect control, and several months since a company with nearly $300,000 capital was formed at New York for its introduction. A New England mill, which has been pay? ing $4,000 a year for gas, has, says Mr. Sawyer, the inventor, ordered two hun? dred of these lamps, and its gas bill for the ensuing year it is estimated, aside from the cost of apparatus, will be re? duced to $10. This cheapness is largely due of course to the fact that the mill already uses the requisite engine-power in its manufacturing operations, but where this h specially supplied and the lightning is carried on to any extent the cost is immensely less than gas. ?

The Result and Charac ter of the Election ?The Indictment ?r Chamberlain. The result and more particularly the character of the election in South Caro? lina have vindicated alike the reputation of that long oppressed and still atrocious? ly slandered State and the efficicntcy of the administration of Governor Hamp? ton. To order "troops" into a Common? wealth which is abundantly able and visibly determined to preserve order by its own strength within its own borders, and to secure to all classes of its citizens their rights under the law, would be so preposterous that Attorney General l)e vens must already be heartily ashamed of tbe electioneering feint which he per? mitted himself to be worried into mak? ing in that direction. That South Caro? lina means to see equal justice done as well as equal rights maintained upon her soil the dispatch from Columbia which we this morning publish very plainly shows. She has been a plundered as well as a slandered State, and the next thing in order after confuting her slan? derers is to punish her plunderers. The indictment of Chamberlain yesterday is the first step towards that consummation. Chamberlain, of whom we hear that he has promptly betaken himself to Wash? ington, will no doubt now prepare, like the showman's orang-outang, to wrap himself in the American flag and grin defiance upon his baffled pursuers. Whether he will find any permanent se? curity in this somewhat thread-bare ope? ration remains to be seen. We hardly think it would be consistent with his per? sonal safety to abide in New York tbe issue of a requisition from Governor Hampton upon Governor Robinson. He had better seek safety in Massachusetts, which has been formally "inaugurated" by its Governor as an asylum for fugi? tives from the justice of South Carolina. The cheering declaration of this remark? able Executive that any State which has once seceded from the Union may there? after forever be robbed with impunity is perhaps the only official indorsement ever given by a civilized community to the ethical code of that lamented citizen of Texas who failed indeed to account for the funds intrusted to him in the Yellville Bank, but whose heart beat steadily aud warmly for his native land. Should Butler finally assail and capture the State House at Boston, we hope South Carolina will not retaliate by offer? ing similar immunities to the satellites of the eminent man whom Massachusetts so long delighted to honor.?N. ? Y. World. mum ? ? There will be no War! The English, judging by the Tuner,, are more amused than incensed at the stir in tbe United States caused by the dis? patches of Secretary Evarts in relation to the fisheries. The facts of the case are these: By the Treaty of 1818 Americans were given fishery rights on certain coasts of British America without reference to the three-mile limit; elsewhere tbey were excluded from taking fish within that limit. By the Treaty of Washington this exclusion was removed, and the general right to fish in British waters "in common with" British subjects was given without reference to distance from the shores. A reciprocal right was also given to British subjects in American waters north of the 3?th parallel. There were besides reciprocal engagements against shell or river fishing. Citizens of both sections acquired?argrght- to land for the purpose oi clrying and euringfish. The right to import fish and fish-oils into the ports of each nation free of duties was reciprocally guaranteed. These rights were given for twelve years. By Art. XXII the compensation to be paid either Government on an estimate of the balance of advautagc was left to a com? mission. This commission afterwards awarded England $^,500,000, which was to be paid .with^twelyc months after the date of award. TTlie/award was made in November, 18/71 At the last session of Congress an Act was/passed providing that tbe money should be g'vett to Eng? land, unless, on correspondence between the two Governments, that country should fail to insist upon it. It will be seen, then, that the payment under the Treaty is a payment for a right which we havb beeu enjoying for seven years. We have derived seven-twelfths of the benefit from the Treaty ; and we agrec with The Nation in the opinion that we are clearly in debt to Great Britain to the extent of seven-twelfths of $5,500,000,' even on the theory that the Treaty has been nullified Ipy the. acts of the Cana? dians. *?J ' ? Mr. Evarts, in his letter to Mr. Welsh', takes tne ground that, whatever rights the Treaty gives us, they are not giv -n subject to diminution by local regulation. The law of the fishery question is to be found in the Treaty of Washington and nowhere else. He grants that the lan? guage bf the Treaty may be held to qualify} the absolute character of the right given. American fisherman arc not givLn a right to fish in British waters as in their own, but a right of an equal nature with the British. This equality of right is to be understood in a natural aud plain sense, and means that Ameri? can and British fishermen may enjoy such fishing rights in Canadian waters as the right of fishing generally includes; that is to say, they may take fish in the way that the custom ot the pursuit or the necessities of the case require. It would not, for instance; be asserted that Ameri? can fishermen might go and poison fish wholesale; they must fish as fishermen usually fish, Hence it would follow tint reasonable regulations of the times anr. manner of fishing might be made, pro? vided these affected fishermen of both nations alike, and not impair the Treaty right. Capt. Sullivan's report of the Fortune Bay affair represents that certain American fishermen had violated the Newfoundland laws prohibiting fishing on Sunday, fishing between the 2Uth of October and the 25th of April, and the "barring" offish (a particular method of catching herring.) Mr. Evarts takes the ground that such regulation, if permissi? ble, must be made by a treaty supple? mentary to the Treaty of Washington; but it can be argued on the other side, that the rule complained of is intended for the better preservation of the fish, and, therefore, instead of impairing the Treaty, increases the value of the rights enjoyed under it. The London 2'tmc-i treats the dispatches very cavalierly, and tells the American people, with unpleasant frankness, that if they ref use to pay the Halifax award, "they have nothing to fear save loss of their National respect and the uncom? plimentary surprise of Old World Na? tions." One way and another the Uni? ted States are getting a peculiarly unen? viable reputation, but we have some hope that henceforth more heed will be given to the sacredness of National obligations. The popular vote last Tuesday was for honest money, and this ought to carry with it honesty in all our dealings. Great Britain will certainly repair any wrong that has been done, and language that looks like a threat not to pay the Halifax award conies with singularly bad grace, when it is remembered that a large part of the Alabama award still lies in the American Treasury. The Alabama award was in excess of the in? jury done. This is proved by the fact that a surplus remains, alter paying for the vessels and cargoes destroyed. Yet the United States neither return the sur? plus to Great Britain, nor will distribute it to any other claimants.?Newt and Courier. ?

In onler to guard against results utterly subversive of health, it is absolutely essen? tial that the grand thoroughfare or avenue of the system, the bowels, should be re? opened as speedily as possible when they become obstructed. If they arc not, the bile is misdirected into the blood ; the liver becomes torpid; viscid bilious matter gets into the stomach, and produces indigestion ; headaches ensr.c, and other symptoms arc proluced, which a prolongation of the ex? citing cause only tends to aggravate. The aperient properties of Host ewer's Stomach Bitters constitute a most useful agent in overcoming constriction of the bowel?, and promoting a regular habit Of body. It is infinitely superior to the drastic cathartics frequently used for the purpose, since it docs not, like them, act violently, hut pro? duces a natural, painless effect, which docs not impair the tone of the cvacuatory or? gans, which it invigorates instead of weak? ening. The stomach and liver, also, indeed the entire system, is strengthened and reg ulared bv it. SPECIAL INVITATION.
