MODORA. One of the lake steamers had iusf coma in at Sault SaiateMsrie and-there' was bustle and contusion on the wharf, .'are' . ?; at the farther end, where stood three gen tiemen leisnrely talking. They had "been ? '(vwatcMag tho "boat as it came np the river and were. among! the first to announce thai, the smoke ot the "steamer had been aaon. :Two of them! wore the uniform of the United State3 army; the third, a 'tall, , handsome fellow with a tawny mustache, was dressed Ina suit of gray tweed and ?;/Wore:'a dark slouch hat, which he drew ^ ??wn oVer his/jye3 everyjiow,and then, ?3 if to shade them more efiectrually.

Tears of vexation gathered fn those large gray eyes. He came on p'^rpos 3 to annoy her. He was the rud^jcman aho had ever seen. Her first i-upulse was to leave the table, but she would not give him the satisfaction of knowing aha wits angry; besides, she was hungry.. She wonldeat very alowly. She did noVcare ho w miserable she felt If only she could maks Mm uncomfortable, so with a studied air of composure she reached for the cr.1c.k2ra and upset her glass of water." 'She didn't care, but it was rather embarrassing. She was sure he was smiling. She ate slower than ever, and looked quite serene gazing off into space. The room was oppressively quiet. He was taking an endless time for ..his dinner, so she hurried and almost choked! herself:, -but ho seemed to be hurrying too, now that she tried to get through first .. She had just decided that she could not ^endure-this a nwinent longer, yet deter? mined that he should not have the satis? faction of having spoiled her dinner vhen she heard in sonorous tones: "Miss Black, may X trouble you lor the pepper?" She started, but taid in % frozen man ^e^iCerteinJyVi^idlng him the catsup, fij? HTMpepperjrple^e," he said, .smiling, < at the same time half withrawing his hand from the bottle, while she, suppos? ing he would take it from her, let it slip from her 'fingers. . "Ibeg-your pardon," ho said, but not before the brown liquid had deluged the table, "It is of no consequence," said Miss Rhodora, quite confused, then pointing toward his elbow she sad in tragic tones: "There's the;pcrpper!" - > VS?-Jt isVUie said, his brown eyes smil-1 Ing at her. "It's too bad to have troubled you." It would have beau natural for Rhodora to make some polite response, but she bit her lip and remained silent. "I presume you had a pleasant barge party?" he said, agreeably. "Quite pleasant," was the frigid an? swer. j.''.^--1.; ?'? "I was out hunting, and could not go. I only came In half an hour since." He had' evidently only had time to change his hunting suit and come down to dinner. Rhodora repented a little; possibly he hod not como in late for the purpose of annoying her; still she remem? bered his remark about Detroit girls and ceased to relent toward him. Sho had finished; nor dinner and risen from the table. Lieut Halstead arose also and held the dining room door open for her to pass. "May ! oome into the parlor with you?" .heasked. , There was nothing for her to do but to acquiesce. lSTow that he was her guest she was obliged to show just the least air of cordiality , but she tried .to make her mother bear, the burden bf the conversa? tion. ? . Mrs. Black liked Lieut Halstead, and Rhodora found herself listening with in? terest to their conversation, for Mrs. Black had the rare faculty of bringing out the best that was in one, while Lieut. Hal - stead was utterly unconscious that he was j. making this ?sonversatlon a monologue. All threo started in surprise as the bugle call for "tattoo" sounded through the open windows. Lieut Halstead arose in haste, and Mrs. Black refrained from asking him to return because she remem? bered her daughter'3 aversion to the Thirty-first regiment '-' Rhodora, repenting o:E her coolness, ac? companied the lieutenant to the door. "Thank you for a delightful evening," he said heartily. Rhodora I considered this a reflection upon her nuinner, but when he said eagerly: "Ara you busy, will you be en-, gaged alter tattoo?" she answered with charming candor: "I have some letters to write." But she never touched pen to paper that night; she sat by her window .in the moonlight star gazing, and when she fell aseep she had romantic dreams of a.cabbage with gold shoulder straps danc? ing attendance to a nick mouse covered with mustard, poultices dipped in catsup. The next morning, as Miss Rhodora came down the hotel steps attired for her usual morning walk, she nearly ran into Lieut Halstead. "Good morning," he said; "I was com? ing up to ask if you would not go out for a walk with me, It is-such a beautiful day." ' ?- ? - ? Poor Rhodora! something always seemed to interfere with her dignity and make it impossible for her to effectually snub this fascinating man, for she con? fessed to herself that he was fascinating, and his air just now was a little deter? mined, as though he had' a perfect right to say she should walk with bim. This manner in any one else would have an? noyed her, but she was proud of the in? terest that this usually indifferent man manifested in her, and it was more than ever pleasing when she remembered that at first he had not desired an introduc? tion. She became generous enough to think he had some good reason for not wishing to meet a Detroit girl; yet what could it be? But she had heard that re? cently he had promised willingly to pay the wager if one of the officers would in? troduce him, but they, enjoying the joke, had each declined, and when he thought of asking' ono of bis friends at tho hotel he had chanced to hear Miss Black's re? mark, to'Mrs. Mason. Rhodora-meant, r.ow that she knew . him, to be rigid - in her manner. She wished to be severe and;:rantsh him if s>>o could. At present -ha hid taken her un? awares, and she allowed him to accom? pany her, but tfiey did not take the. walk along the locks that sho had intended; he led her to the shade of the woods, and they came back laden with mosses and wild flowers. People are apt to drop drawing room conventionalities in the freedom of open air intercourse, and be? fore they returned the lieutenant had told her that his aversion to Detroit girls was an altogether sympathetic affair, caused by his particular friend having been jilted by one of these fair girls, and he had then and there declared ho knew them to be heartless. He admitted that it was an unpardonably hasty and possi? bly unjust conclusion. He told her when he had first seen her on the steamer deck with her opera glass up, and sho explained that being nearsighted and not wearing glasses she always carried an opera glass when traveling. "H you had noticed," she said, "you would have seen my glasses were turned wrong side to that time. I wanted the Saultto look as small and far away a possible," and then she explained why she did not wish to visit the Sault this year. He regretted her disappointment, but cor>ld not say he was sorry the regiment changed places. When the dinner hour came Rhodora insisted upon her mother proceeding im? mediately to the table. It was ridicu? lously unromantic, but alter this the lieu? tenant and Rhodora wer j always on time to their meals. Several weeks had passed when one bright afternoon Miss Black received a bunch of passionate purple rhodoras, and in their midst there lay this little note: "Aloha! "Will you wear these for toy sake? I found them in the woods. Perhaps you know this little poem,"andbelow he had written these few lines from Emerson's. "Rhodora": Rhodora! If the sages ask thee why This charm is wasted on tho earth and sky, TeU them, dear, that if eyes were made for see? ing. Then beauty is its own excuse for belnj* Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose i I never thought to ask, I sever knew; But, in my simple ignorance, suppose The Bell some power that brought me there brought you. He had underscored two words?mo and you. She reread the lines, and then, strange woman, she passionately kissed the flowers but tore the note into little shreds and threw it away. At the dinner table that night she wore a bunch of purple rhodoras in her white gown, but Lieut Halstead could not get a glimpse, of those wonderful gray eyes, the eyes that lightened, that smiled, that grew sad, that were unfathomable, that to-night were continually veiled by the dark curling lushes. It was unusually warm in Detroit this summer, and Mr. Black was anxious to speedily arrange his business affairs that he might join his wife and daughter soon after their at rival at the Sault, but it was quite nine weeks before he was able to do so. They came down to the boat to meet him, and he was mystified by the anxious manner of the one and the serious air of the other. The morning after Mr. Black's arrival Lieut. Halstead might be seen impatient? ly pacing to and fro in the cozy room that served as tho Black sitting room. Tho door was gently opened and Miss Rhodora came In fresh and smiling, her eyea twinkling with suppressed laughter. "At last!" exclaimed the lieutenant, his face radiant, as he held out both hands to meet her. nest brides Detroit ever saw. She wore a soft tulle gown and carried a bunch of purple rhodoras.?George Truman ^BTer cheval in Chicago Times. The Lime Kiln Club. "It am my painful dooty to inform dia club dat Broad er Arbustus Jenkins has passed from airth away," said Brother Gardner when the triangle had ceased to toll. "He was an honorary member of dia club, libin' in de statt of North Caro liny, an' he was only 15 cents behind on his dues. It kin not be said of Arbustus dat he was either a statesman, poet, philosopher, philanthropist or scholar. He was simply an eberyday man, who did not shrink aandwise when he got wet.

Grant returned from Oregon, where he had. resigned his com mlslon, his father-in-law presented his wife with sixty acres of land and three negroes?two men and a woman. Capt. Grant.went to work in good earnest, and with his two negro men dug a cellar, hauled the stones for the walls, stoned it up, cut and hauled the logs with which the house was built, and then spilt the shingles with which it was roofed. At the raising his neighbors turned out to help him, and In due time he was the oc? cupant of his'own house. His first occupation was to clear a field, and he was certainly an adept at chopping wood. As the winter came on he hauled this wood into St Louis, and had, of course, a good team, a bay and a gray, which he boasted could draw a heavier load than any other horses in the settle . ment At first his neighbors thought it was, only a boast, but after going along the road with him with lighter loads they found that he was an authority on horses. He never would ride, though, on his load, saying that "the team has enough to draw without carrying a lazy driver." His first crops were corn, wheat, potatoes and a few garden vegetables. He raised 300 busheb of potatoes to the acre, and it was his boast that with his team he hauled seventy bushels of wheat which he had raised to St Louis in one load. Wearing a pair of old blue army trowserB, tucked into high, heavy boots, a flannel shirt, an old undress blue sack coat with the military buttons replaced by plain ones, and a slouch hat which turned up before and down behind, he did not much resemble a "gentleman farmer." The guests at the Planters' houso used to stare a little when he was invited into dinner with old comrades, toward whom his heart wanned always. ?On one occasion an officer who had served with him, visiting St Louis, drove out to see him and found him in his wheat field in his shirtsleeves leading three other men who, like himself, were swinging cradles. But the land was poor and the crops did not prove remunerative. To aid him in supporting his family he undertook tho collection of accounts for some of his neighbors who had sold their vegetables on credit to different parties in the city, but he was not successful in dun? ning.?Ben: Perley Poore.

Tho Princess of Wales, In less than a month the Princess of Wales will complete her 43d year. Her royal highness remains one of the young? est looking women of her age in England, despite a married life that has not been all sugar plums and coffee. During the last year or two, however, the princess has, regretably enough, aged somewhat, as those who know her most intimately and love her best have been forced to admit. Time is tracing lines about her kindly eyes, and her neck, that suro chronicle of a woman's age, has its dis agreeable little tale to tell; but these little things detract nothing from the magnetic charm of her presence, and it is a satisfac? tion to know tht.t she makes as good a portrait as ever?a satisfaction, because it is by means of her photographs that the princess is principally known to the common people. The princess' birthday will be cele? brated by a ball to the Sandrlngham tenants, whose ladies are already scour? ing the country for appropriate dress in which to meet her royal highness. Necks and shoulders and arms are being nightly Inspected before the mirror in their ownere' anxiety to know whether they will be sufficiently presentable for baring to the critical gaze of royalty.

Not a Brutal Affray in a Darkened Koom Nor ft "Blaze Away " at Short Range. Tho Decision of Fate ? Suicide'.! Stain. I eeo the following copied in tho The World from one of your contemporaries: "I read in a dispatch from Berlin the other dt,y that a hill has been introduced into the Eeichstag to suppress dueling, especially what is known as 'the Ameri? can method.' Now what is this Ameri? can method? Is it the gentle pastime of fighting with knives in a dark room? Is it the brief and sanguinary contest with shotguns at twenty paces? Or is it the informal duel of the frontier, with its brief cartel: 'I'll kill you on sight, and when you next come, come a shootin'?' The cablegram is strangely silent on this important point." I am in a position to inform you that the American duel, as practiced on the continent of Europe, and especially in Germany, is neither a brutal affray with bowie knives in a darkened room nor a "blaze away" at short rango; it is some? thing more secret and terrible still, a practice that has brought sorrow and shame to the noblest families and cut short tho career of the most promising men; it is death, self inflicted death by lot. Some time since tho startling intel? ligence was published that Professor B., of Berlin, a talented and highly esteemed young, man had been found dead in his room, with a pistol tightly clasped in his hand and a bullet hole in his forehead. He had committed suicide. But what could be the motive? In easy if not brilliant circumstances, handsome and engaging, on tho threshold of life, the highest honors within his grasp, this young man goes to Ids last account and leaves no trace to elucidate tho mystery. The world' wonders for nine days and then in the rush of rapidly pass? ing events the incident is forgotten.- For? gotten savo by one who knows and a few sorrowing friends who conjecture The solution of tho mystery is to be found in the American duel. A love affair, in which two passionate, high spirited young men lavish their at? tention upon the same lady; a deadly insult offered and they conceive that the world is not large enough to hold both. One must die, and what surer and more convenient method than to decide by lot who shall take his own life? The two enemies face each other with flashing eyes and burning cheek. Words have passed and insults offered which can bo drowned only in blood. THE DECI6I0K OF FATE. So be it. Let us step to the window; the street is quiet and deserted. Let us observe the next passerby. U the first ono to turn the corner bo a man, it is I if it bo a woman, death is your portion? death by your own hand and 'before the sun rises again. Pale and gloomy they stand side by side and await the doom sure to come soon to one of them. One, two, three minutes pass; it is so still in the apart? ment the ticking of a clock upon the mantel sounds loud and near. Then a black shadow is thrown across the walk and?a woman moves around the corner, her light footsteps sounding the death knell of Professor B. A slight shudder shakes the frame of tho doomed man and the pallor deepens for a moment. Then proudly and coldly he. bows to his adversary: "Fate has selected mo, Capt. A. You will hear from mo to-morrow." And he is alone with his sad thoughts. But the clock beats out his life fast and foriouf, and he has so much to do and arrange before the rising sun shall look upon his lifeless corpse. He may put his affairs in order, but he must not reveal his fate. Honor and the rules of Ameri? can duel forbid it. Thus perished one of the brightest and most promising young men in the most enlightened capital of Europe in the latter half of the'Nineteenth century, leaving the stain of suicide upon his name. This is by no means an isolated case, it being well known that this method of dueling his been resorted to only too fre? quently, and it is a sad fact that tho best and most honorable men have often baen tho victims. While dueling will never and, for ob? vious reasons, can never be wholly sup? pressed in a warlike nation like Germany, it Is to be hoped that this bloody game of chance called the American duel may speedily be crushed and wiped out.?E. G. The Discoverer of Anthracite Coal. Anthracite was discovered in Pennsyl? vania in 1790 by Nicholas Allen. This Allen, according to the stories and tradi? tions that have been handed down about him must have been a kind of American Bip Van Winkle. He had come down from the Lake Cham plain lumber region, and opened an inn on the summit of the Broad mountain. For a time he led a wandering existence, hunting, Ashing and lumbering, while his wife attended to the wants of thirsty travelers. In one of his hunting excursions ho camped out at the foot of the Broad mountain at a spot where a coal vein cropped out, and upon lighting a fire was' astonished at the in? tense heat it throw off. He also saw that some of the black stone had become red bot. He dug some of it and carried it home, when his wifo, more practical than himself, pronounced it coal. They saw the coal crop out in abun? dance, and visions of fortunes that might be realized out of it flashed through their minds simultaneously. So, disposing of their effects, they loaded two largo cov? ered wagons with coal and set out for Philadelphia with the intention of mar? keting it there and discovering its true value. They drove along the banks of the S huylkill, sleeping in the open air at night. At Pottstown three of their horses died, and the coal was dumped into the river. Wearied and disheartened, the pair returned to the old place at the sum? mit of the mountain, and shortly after? ward Allen laid his faithful wife to rest over the coal vein that proved their ruin and turned his face toward the west, Where after an uneventful career he en? listed for tho campaign under Harrison and fell at Tippecanoe.?Scientific Amer? ican. The Best Fire Escape. A commercial drummer of my acquaint? ance who studies each Are escape with an interest born of several exciting scenes assures me that the best Are escape in the World can be tucked away in one's pocket and carried in a traveling bag. It con? sists simply of a strong hemp cord, with knots every few feet.

No. 60, the Stayer. "The oldest locomotive now in use any? where near Chicago/' remarked a rail? roader, "is No. 60 on the Illinois Central, still making regular trips down the road. Sho has been in use thirty-three years. It is estimated that in that time she has traveled 1,050,000 miles, or equal to sixty-six times around the globe. She has hauled passenger trains, freight trainrj, special trains, pay cars, gravel trains and done switching. She has been in several accidents, but was never badly damaged. She has killed 'her man' half a dozen times. The average life of a locomotive is ten or twelve years, and so you can see that old No. 60 is a stayer." ?Chicago Herald. The Idle Capital of the World. A peculiar instance of the immensity of property acaimulation was seen when a Dublin, Ireland, company, Guinness & Co.'s porter brewery advertised for a loan of ?6,000,000. In reply they re? ceived offers to the amount of ?127,000,000, or ?635,000,000. "The truth is," The New York Chronicle re? marks, "the amount of idle capital in tho world to-day is almost without a parallel." The schoolboys of southern Maryland have originated foot tournaments. Botli on a Tear. "Lucy, my daughter," exclaimed a stern parent tho other morning to the old? est daughter,who was very lato in corning down to breakfast, "where did you spend last evening?" "I was at a chocolataire given by tho Homo Mission society, papa, at Mrs. Gumbo's." "Indeed! and whero were j'ou, Bobert? You came in very late." And Bobert, whose eyes were red and whose head fcltns big as a circus lent, said lie had been on a chocolate tear too. ?Chicago Tribune. HORSEMANSHIP 'GH - f HE PLAINS. How tho "Bronclic Bnster" Tames tho Wild Steed of tho Prairies. Imagine yourself then firmly seated. If the horse is blinded y ou reach forward and remove tho blhid. Now tho struggle begins. For a moment he stands in bis traeksj but you can feel bis muscles grow? ing tense as ho gathers himself together. Crouching like a wildcat about to spring, he leaps high into tho air and twists and shakes himself in a mad effort to throw off the unaccustomed burden. He comes down with his head between his fore legs and his tail behind his hind legs, striking the ground stiff legged; and as soon ns he has given you the full benefit of the shock crouches for another leap. This is "buck? ing," or as the mora initiated commonly term it, "pitching." No two horses pitch alike, and no horse pitches twice alike. Sometimes he will strike on his fore feet and nose, throwing his breach so high as to turn a somersault forward. Sometimes he will make a lateral jump, and at others "change end," or turn half round In the air. Now a "bronco buster" generally does his work in the presence of a hand? ful of spectators; and if he is ono of the few men who are absolutely certain that nothing can unseat him, he lets tho horse buck himself weary, while ho de? lights the claquo by rolling and lighting a cigarette or stooping to pick up a hand? ful of dirt and throw it in the horse's face. Another favorite proof of his dexterity is to rowel the horse from ear to tail. A sharp pull at the horse's head just at the right moment,' and the steel thrown into his flank.will break the rhythm of his pitching, and a. sharp blow on the hind quarters with your whip compels him to lunge forward. Ho will then run a hundred yards or bo and stop suddenly with his fore legs planted firmly before him. This of course necessitates your throwing your body well back, and ho seizes this opportunity to rear and throw himself violenty on his back. Now is the time when a man shows whether ho is a rider or a foolhardy braggart. Obviously you cannot retain your seat. A horse in executing this maneuver will often thrust the horn of the saddle fast in tho ground and be loft kicking turtlewise. You must see how he Is going to strike and throw yourself to tho ono sido or tho other, so that you havo always one foot in position to cross him with as he strug? gles to rise. It is perfectly legitimate for a horse to throw himself backward In this way three or four times, but when you have conclusively demonstrated to him that he accomplishes nothing by it, if ho persists in it it must be treate I as willful misconduct. If you cannot, by spurring him in tho f Sank as ho rises and thus bringing his hind parts into action prevent his overrearing, you must strike him a sharp blow between the ears with the butt of your whip as he rises, and let him understand that he is over? stepping tho bounds of fair fighting. After an hour or two he is completely exhausted and should bo turned loose until the next day. Ills second lesson will try your seat and your patience even more severely, for you will then havo bitted him for tho first time and he has learned bettor how to handle himself under your weight. But on the third day, if he is not a very recalcitrant subject, he will begin to learn something, and is then considered a "broke" horse.?Cor. New York Sun._ Senator Evarts and Mark Twain. Senator Evarts has undobutedly pre? sided over more banquets than any other man in New York. His old fashioned rolling collar and his finely plaited shirt bosom are familiar sights to all of the waiters at Dclmonico's, the Hoffman or the Brunswick. The urbane senator en joyBa good dinner and good company, and with rare forbearance he never lnfllct3 a long speech upon his fellow diners. Even his abnormal tendency to long and in? tricate sentences is curbed upon social occasions. Mr. Evarts' special weakness ' as a presiding officer is the interjecting of facetious comments on the efforts of the other speakers. He delight's to diffuse mirth and good fellowship, and his face tSousness never has the sting of acerbity. Occasionally in attempt ing to score a point on a fellow speaker he suffers the fate of the boomerang thrower. An instance in point occurred at the New England Society dinner last winter. Mark Twain had just finished an extraordinarily piquant ad? dress when Mr. Evarts arose, shoved both of his hands down Into his trousers pockets as is his habit, and laughingly remarked: "Doesn't it strike this company as a little unusual that a professional humorist should be funny?" Mark Twain waited until tho -firhghtor excited by this sally had subsided and then drawled out: "Doesn't it strike this com? pany as a little unuBual that a lawyer should have his hand in his own pocket?" ?New York Times. Finding Best in Gotham. Distinguished men must find New York restful, as so many come bore tolivo after they have passed middle ago and been for years objects of interest in small? er places. Here even the great man is ono of a crowd. There are distinguished soldiers, engineers, doctors, merchants, writers, scientists who come to the me? tropolis to spend the lost years of their ex? istence after the battle of life hns been fought and won elsewhere. Such men as Gen. Grant, Henry Ward Beecher, Robert Collyer, Benjamin H. Bristow, Whitelaw Reid, Roscoe Conkllng, with the whole world from which to select, choose New York as tho most fitting and desirable place for a home. In any other city a distinguished man is conspicuous, but hern ho can walk the streets and attract no attention, he can take a seat in a street car without being stared out of counte? nance by all tho other passengers, he can enjoy life, for distinguished men are com? mon on the streets, and tho inhabitants of New York are broad and cosmopolitan, and believe in each man attending strictly to his own business unmolested by all others.?New York Cor. Cleveland Lender. Hints for tho Dramatist. The three or four hundred years that have passed since adventurers landed on our shores and began the work of creat? ing a nation have been filled with events the records of which should give an in? genious dramatist hints for plays without number. Not until these are employed, as records and traditions of their own countries were employed by all tho great dramatists, shall we have a national drama. Mr. Jones and Mr. Tnyleure agree in saying, "Tho first business "of tho American stage is to develop a national drama of its own."?Boston Transcript. Didn't I.iko to Say It.

The World's Greatest Railroad. Did you ever stop to think what a great corporation this Pennsylvania Railway is? Of the 125,000 miles of railway in the Uniled States it operates 7,000." Of 25,000 locomotives in tbo country it owns 2,000. Of 750,000 cars of all kinds 100,000 run on its lines. Its share of the gross earnings of all Americau rail? ways?$750,000,000 a year?is ten per cent., or $1,500,000 a week. Every year it carries 30,000,000 passengers and 60,000,000 tons of freight, the tonnage being one-sixlh of the estimated total for all railways in the country. To carry on its vast operations an army of 80,000 men is employed. Hitherto our Chicago railways have been the most ambitious in America. Tho vigorous manner in which they have reached their iron fingers out into the West has been simply marvelous.
