He hoped to make the sale, and it is always agreeable to make money, as you know. Jocard entered. ."Is thatitT said he disdainfully. True, he was not saying what he thought, for he was really delighted, though he must never show it?he would be cheated, Pierret had risen politely, but Jocard's back was towards him?tlurough haugh? tiness; of course. ? Briefly he,. Jocard, would give 250 francs for it immediately, cash down, and yet upon a condition, namely, that "the Comtoisse should be placed that very night upon his dining room. wall? he knew the house?the big house oppo sise the church.". "Every one knows the Jocard house," replied Pierret; "within an hour the Comtoisse shall be there." "And to-night, friends,"- continued Jo? card, not including Pierret, of course, "we'll have a bowl of white wine, first quality, and well drink to the Comtoise." ? "All right?what hour?" "Nine." . - Jocard threw a hundred, franc note on the counter to bind the bargain and left the shop, followed by his friends. ? Again alone Pierret struck a match and carefully burned the note to ashes. This strange act completed, he brought from .the rear of the shop a small box on which something was written in English, and going to the Comtoise he opened the case?to fix the pendulum, doubtless. It is in its place, well set in its polished box. The pendulum swings with a slow, soft tick-tack. Truly it has a splendid effect between the shining platters and the pink tinted engravings. -'.

Why do you pale so, man?; And what is the voice saying how?" "Confess, Jocard! Thou art a mur? derer, Jocard! Confess, confess, I say 1!' . "A murderer??No, 'tis false! Who says it? He lies?I swear it!" "A murderer, Jocard, a murderer who killed the old Pierret?a murderer, and you know it!" .Then there were cries, hiccoughs and ? groans of terror. Jocard leaps to his feet, his eyes ? staring, his hands tearing wfldly at Jthe collar that seems to stop :his breathing. But the voice continues mercilessly, still cracked, still broken, still, far away, as if it came from a tomb,' reputing and repeating obstinately the hideous charge. "Thou art a murderer, Jocard, a mur? derer, and you know it!" . Jocard sinks to his knees, struggles to his feet again, to fall anew.; The voice goes on and on remorselessly. He can bear it no longer?he 'throws up his arms ?he yields to the Invisible! "I will,! will!" he screams, "I will con? fess?I did Mil the old Pierret! I did rob him of his money! But for God's sake stop it?that accursed voice?stop it! stop it!", Stop it! But it will not stop?it is like a machine that runs forever, and it comes from the Comtoise. Jocard dis? covers it at last, and with a howl of rage flings himself upon it. He strains it in his arms, shakes it, dashes it to the floor! The works tumble from the case, and with them a long roll covered with metal sheathing.' - Pierret, listening at the open window, crosses the sill with a bound; his fingers close upon Jocard's throat with a grasp of iron, "Do you hear" him?' he cries. "Do you hear him, one and all? I call upon you to witness it?-Jocard confesses?he is my father's murderer!" And how had Pierret learned or guessed the truth? "Ihstrinct," he would have told you, aided by'Providence and an ac? cidental discovery that the tale Jocard related of "an.dnheritance" from beyond the- mountains\ was a he out of "whole j^cloth," - as the saying goes; Jocard's avoidance of: his shop; a dozen such trifles.as these and an indiscreet word or two dropped by the rascal himself when in his cups. "Inspiration from heaven assisted by genius," to quote the procu reur general's words-in his arraignment of tho- criminal, had done the rest and taught a poor, insignificaiit worker on watches to utilize the great and scientific principle of the phonograph in the cause of justice by adapting it to the mechan? ism of a clock. Jocard was condemned unanimously, and the Comtoise, ite mission done, sings as cheerily as ever on the walls of the Pierret shop, and will slug there forever, for all the money that was ever coined could not purchase from its owner what to him is his father's avenger.?Trans? lated from the French of LerminabyE. C. Waggener for New York Mercury, A Mother's Responsibility. Unfortunately not every mother thfayp it necessary to teach polite- manners to her children. Her boys do not take off their hats when they- como into the pres? ence of ladies; her girls interrupt rudely in conversations. It is a common occur? rence in our Btreet cars to see an elderly gentleman give up his seat to some old woman while a 6-year-old youngster spreads over room enough' for two, and with his mother looking on apparently ignorant that she is rearing a son with tho selfish manners of a cub. The be? havior of her children is a pretty clear mirror of the mother's own nature. It Is from her they learn courtesy and gal? lantry and chivalrio respect to women. Lookers on at the rude or bad behavior of the child cannot have a very flatter? ing opinion of that child's homo influ? ences.?New Orleans Picayune. Long r.D'.l Broad.

LITTLE EDDLERS., ? A PEEP AT A MERRY SCHOOL OF . YOUTHFUL VIOLINISTS, Like a Concert of Katydids When tho Two Hundred Children Draw Their Bows* ' Budding Virtuosos Taking the First Les? son?A Kind Professor. ? Fancy 200 little fiddlers nil fiddling awayatoncel Fancy the noisel Fancy the runt It is like a concert of katydids to hear them, and like stirring up a shoal of sand fiddlers to'see them running .up and down the steep stairs to and fro from their lessons. Moreover, it is like trying to catch an old grand daddy sand fiddler to catch one of these little youngsters and ask him how he learned to fiddle and when and where. Saturday after? noon is the time to see these baby virtu? osos in their glory. From east, from west, from Harlem and Hoboken they come skipping along by twos, by threes, with maids in attendance, to worship at' the shrine of the violin. Professor Wat? son, of Fourteenth street, is master of this marvelous school, and he draws no lines regarding sex, age or previous con* dition. Rich and poor alike come and are treated to the same free instruction. . PUPILS OF ALL KINDS. - "You would be astonished," he said, as the unique entertainment drew to a close, "to know some of the names that are among the two thousand we have on our books already. No one, no matter how rich he may be, cares to throw away money on finding out simply whether a child's fancy is a natural taste or a whim. So people who know of the school send their boys and girls to me. I can soon find out if the child has any cleverness-, and I immediately notify them. If the boy of rich parents likes his violin, they naturally buy him a good instrument and engage a teacher. Other children come and go, more as their own fancy dictates, but they usually have some one, an older . sister, or an aunt or a grandmother, who takes -pride.in their iinio uddlings and soon buys for them a Violin of their own, which they can tako homo and practice on to their hearts' content. In that way I get a partial recompense for my time and trouble, and at the same time I have the satisfaction of knowing that I have been able to keep some children's minds away from worse things during their .first few years." j It was 2 o'clock when the youngsters began to arrive. Some fly down .the street as if they moved on steel springs, grinning happy littie'grin's of satisfaction as they pound on" sturdy legsup to.the rooms above. I Others, coming for the first time, wander open mouthed along the street, .asking ' now a hand organ man, and novr a policeman, if they know "where the music man's place is." Unless they know Professor Watson's name they are apt to have some trouble in finding him, for Fourteenth street is full or "music men." At last they see some other little boy with a fiddle and their troubles are all over. Once upstairs, their real troubles are usually over, but tho poor, unhappy kids do not seem to think so. A little twist catches their tongues as they start up? stairs, and by the time they have reached the office a double bow knot could not tie them any tighter. The_ professor's daughter takes them in hand first and. after their unruly little members get limbered up a bit, finds out all about each new pupil. Then she passes them along to the next room, where they make their professional bow to one of the teachers, to say'nothing of their first violin. They stand around in helpless rows until the busy prof essor comes flying along, then one by one are stood out in the middle of the floor, their knees joggling beneath them, and set to work. THE FIRST LESSON. "Feet sol" says the professor, his right heel in tho hollow of his left foot, i Invariably the left heel drags itself up to the right f oot. "Brrrl" says the professor. "You would tip'over on your nose if you tried to stand sol Now the violin under your chin* so that your cheek just rests on it to keep it steady. Hands off the strings, but holding the case, sol Elbow down.' Bow in your right hand. Oh, no, never,. my boy. That's a good way to hold a saw, but it's a bad way to hold a violin bow. There, look you. Thumb sot First and second fingers. so?last two fin? gers so." 'v v Yery clumsy the pudgy little fingers are: to begin with, but in a few minutes when the violin fright is worn off the fingers begin to limber up, and in a sur? prisingly short time these babies are' sawing away as natural ?s life. In far less time than it would take a greater mind these youngsters know each string as well as they know their own names, better in fact; than''they knew them when they faced Miss Watson in the office. Then they are crazy-for a tune. Before any one could believe it possible their shrewd littlo wits have' conquered the mysteries of the. staff and the notes, and they are sawing away at e, a, d, g, d, a, e, with all the gusto of artists. The next step 13 to twist tho little fingers so they can slide up and down the strings and pinch them down at the proper points, and as soon as that is done there begin to grow variations of the first wonderful theme. To an outsider the hour on a busy Saturday afternoon is a wonderful sight. Tho mental dexterity with which the clever professor handles his small schol? ars, his patience, and the interest which he takes in the poorest and least clever of these little free pupils, is something to be admired. Prof essor Watson was tho famous ?le Bull's manager, and when ho finds a child whose heart goes out into the old fiddle that snuggles up under his chin ho takes him about through the rooms arid tells stories of the great mas? ter, .and shows liim tho pictures and relics tliat hang about the wall, the watch which was his gift and, .choicest treasures of all, his violins.?New York World. Clara Morris. Said an attache of tho theatre one night as Clara Morris was nearing the conclusion of her play: "It will be 12 o'clock before Miss Morris leaves the house. When the curtain falls on this act she will sob and scream all the way to her dressing room, and there she will sit for an hour rocking back and forth until she gets quieted down. Then sh6 will "put on her street costume and leave the theatre." Apropos of this I shall never forget the first night of "Jane Shore," Don Piatt's play, at the Brooklyn theatre. Clara Morris was Interested in the play and practically produced it. It was a failure, largely due to imperfect rehearsals and the most scandalous mismanagement it has ever been my misfortune to witness. Morris was frantic. Through the per? formance, as she began to realize the in? evitable result, her excitement became almost uncontrollable. The curtain did not fall oh the last act till nearly 1 o'clock. I was there by special Invitation of Miss Morris. After the performance we, with her husband, Harriot, adjourned to an oyster house to get some supper. She was too nervous to eat when the food was put before her, so she ordered Har? riot to have a fry put in a box and bring it homo with him. Wo went out We walked up one street, down another, Harriot following us all the time with tho fry in tho box. It was nearly 4 o'clock before the poor woman was qui? eted and she could be induced to go homo with-Harriot and the fry. Walking thoso Brooklyn streets that bitter winter night I learned more of Clara Morris than I had ever known be? fore. What I learned has no place in print, but I may say this, that from that time I have looked upon her with a deeper feeling of respect mid a deeper feeling of byiupathy.?Chicago Herald, BRONCHITIS. Symptoms und Treatment or the AMlc Uon in Its Early Stages. During the winter season bronchitis is one of the most common affections. It is essentially an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, but it rarely occurs alone; the mucous membrane lining the throat and Upper part of the windpipe are, as a ride, affected about the same timey In the majority of cases an attack of bronchitis is preceded by a cold in the head. The inflammation, which starts in the nose, travels downward, affecting the throat more or less, and very soon enters the bronchial tubes. When those are reached there are added to the symp? toms of a cold a sense of tightness and of soreness or rawness in the chest. Those unpleasant feelings are aggravated by the cough, which is at first dry, hack? ing and quite constant. As a rule, the person who is suffering from an attack of bronchitis is somewhat feverish, or, at least, inclined to be chilly. He has less appetite than usual, feels dull and heavy and disinclined to exertion. Those who have bronchitis generally complain of a dull, aching pain hi the back and limbs. The cough? which is at first dry and painful?as some say "tearing"?gen? erally loosens up in from one to two days, and then the patient "raises" quite freely. The coughed up matters are generally of a yellowish or greenish color and salty taste; then they become quite yellow. As soon as the patient "raises" easily he Is at once relieved; the pain and soreness disappear, and he goes rapidly on to recovery. Acute bronchitis is usually caused by taking cold. If one is suddenly chilled, an attack is very likely to occur. By too severe and sudden cooling of the body the blood is driven from the sur? face to the internal organs. The lining membrane of the bronchial tubes is very easily congested in that way. Consider? ing all things, it naturally follows that bronchitis is more prevalent after sudden changes in the weather and when the same is moist and cold. When an attack of this disease comes on the sufferers who treat themselves, as a rule, direct their efforts entirely to stopping the cough, without giving much thought to the trouble that ex? cites It. The remedies which they usually take, while bringing, perhaps, some relief, yet more often do more harm than good, and really in the. first stage of acute bronchitis there is seldom great need of what passes udder the head of cough medicines. While there is soreness or rawness in the chest, the patient should be confined to his bed and kept on a light diet. Mustard poultices should be applied, morning and night, and left on until the pain from them is intolerable. After they are removed, a towel wrung out of warm water should be applied, and over that a dry one laid, and then several folds of flannel. In the meantime, unless the cough is incessant, there will scarcely be any need to give medicine for it, and cer? tainly, if ? any are used, they should be wisely selected. Flaxseed tea is an ex? cellent drink, having a soothing effect in such cases. It should be taken of ten and in considerable quantities each day. If the patient is not under tho care of a physician, and will not consult any, notwithstanding his cough is very trou? blesome, keeps him awake, etc., he might have put up at the druggist's a mixture of the sweet spirit of niter, par? egoric and sirup of ipecac, of - each one half ounce. Of this mixture the dose for an adult is one teaspoonful, and it may be taken every two or three hours in a wine glass of water. After two or three days, when the cough has become soft and loose, and the soreness and rawness in the chest has disappeared, then, instead of the medi? cine advised, the sirup of wild cherry bark should be taken, in tea spoonful doses, every three or . four hours. If there is much to raise, it will bo well to take also of the sirup of squills one-half a teaspoonf ul three or four times a day. If one guards against exposure the af . fection is likely to'subside quite rapidly; less and less is. raised until finally the amount of secretion is near that in health and the cough disappears.?Yan? kee Blade_ X, Fem alo Impersonator's Franks. ?' St- Albans (Me.) has a young man, George E. Goodwin by name, who takes female parts in comedy in a'way that would have charmed classic Greece. He is a (manning young fellow, a trifle below medium height, light complexioned, with red lips and small hands and feet. On theatage he dresses in girls' clothing en? tirely, not a single article of male attire being allowed in his make up. His fa? vorite gown is one he cut and made him? self. It is, or appears to be, black silk, with lace sleeves and low neck. The sleeves reveal the round white arms be? neath the lace. The neck and bosom, being exposed to a modest extent, are very white. He wears a beautiful blonde wig, frizzled a la mode, and the way he ? handles a fan is described as simply charming. The young man aforementioned is not content with his triumphs on the. stage, but is guilty of the reprehensible practice of flirting with the susceptible married men he encounters while on his starring tours.. He attended a dance after a recent show at Athens, and made a young wife furiously jealous by his attentions to her husband. At another dance, which he attended in his feminine rig, he made a "mash" of a highly respecta? ble middle aged man who had a wife, and who didn't detect the game until he had furnished much amusement to those in the secret?Dexter (Me) Gazette. It Aflfects Them Strangely. "It's queer the way people are affected by visiting a dentist's office," remarked a dental surgeon. "Some no sooner come here than they seem to be seized with a sudden chill, which sets them to shivering all over. They get in tho chair and I turn on the natural gas to make as much heat as possible. Why, I've oven had to put blankets around my patients to keep them comfortable on a warm day. Others aro thrown Into a feverish state, and tho perspiration breaks out the minute they sit down. Then of course I nave to shut off the fire "But tho strangest thing about both classes of patients is that their chilliness or feverishness leaves them immediately after they quit the chair. It is nervous? ness and dread that cause these remark? able physical effects, I suppose. But it's about as hard on me as it is on them, for tho unevenness of temperature in the operating room, which I must perforce endure, keeps me suffering from a cold, catarrh or headache) about half the time."?Pittsburg Dispatch. -: - The Dog and tho Sees. A dog, being annoyed by bees, ran, quito accidentally, into an empty barrel lying on the ground, and, looking out at tho bung holo, addressed his tormentors thus: "Had you been temperate, stinging mo only one at a time, you might have got a good deal of fun out of me. As it is, you have driven me into a secure retreat; for I can snap you up as fast as you coruo in through tho bung hole. Behold the folly of intemperate zeal." When ho had concluded, ho awaited a reply. There wasn't any reply; for tho bees had never gone near tho bung hole; they went in tho someway as ho did, and made it very warm for him.

Your correspondent, while passing up Pennsylvania avenue with a bureau offi? cer, passed a man named Wilkinson, who was recently turned out of the office of the comptroller of the currency on ac? count of "offensive partisanship." The bureau officer, after passing Wilkinson, turned to me and said: "You recognize that man? Yes; well, there was an incident in the early part of his life which connects him in a way with bne of the most prominent Demo? crats in Ohio. A good many years ago "Wilkinson was moving into a house at Springfield, now one of the most pros? perous manufacturing towns in tho cen? tral part of the Buckeye state. While his goods were being put into the house; and th?se belonging to the outgoing tenant were being put on a wagon, a seedy looking tiarop came up and in? quired if he could get something to eat, offering to assist in the work if he was accommodated. The outgoing tenant referred the tramp to the incoming ten? ant, and the latter took the wanderer into the house and gave him a dinner. There was not much attention paid to that tramp, and for years those who saw him on that day lost sight of him. Finally he reappeared, however, entered into the business of the place and began to grow. He grew in every sphere of life. He became wealthy and influential. A few years ago he was governor, and now he has more property and money than any man in his section of the state. It is not necessary for me to mention his name.

Even in orations on memorial days, or at college festivals, colloquial English is heard; and the essays spoken at college commencements are ceasing to be "mere emptiness." In the northern, and especially the north? western states, the taste for colloquial, rather than oratorical English is, for obvious reasons, stronger than in the south and extreme west; but it is show? ing itself in all parts of the country. It is a taste that should be encouraged by ali who prefer the simple to the ornate, the natural to the artificial, tho sensible to the sonorous.?Harper's Magazine. The Story of a Play. One of the most successful of recent plays fell into the hands of Charles Over ton, who offered it to A. M. Palmer, the manager of the Madison Square theatre, and whose judgment as to the value of a play is second to no one's. While Mr. Palmer admitted that the piece possessed many elements of success he did not think it was apiece destined, to have a long run. However, he agreed to run the risk of it being a success pro? vided Mr. Overton would permit him to produce the piece at the Madison Square theatre without having to pay any roy? alty. After that, if successful, Mr. ? Palmer agreed to send the play out on the road. Every one familiar with theatrical affairs knows that "Jim the Penman" is one of the strongest plays on the road today, and will also remember the phenomenal run it had at the Madison Square theatre. It is estimated that Mr. Overton and the Madison Square Theatre company together have made over ?200, 000 out of it?New York Cor. Philadel? phia Times. Tho White Slaves of London.

Ci.oveb Bottom, Sullivan County, Tenn., June 18,1887?Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga.: Sir:?I have been thinking of writing to you for some time to let you know of the wonderful cure your B. B. B. has affected on myself and daughter. She, a girl of 16 years, was taken with a very soro leg below the knee. I called oh the very best doctors that the country could afford, and they tended on her for four years to no purpose, ller leg grit worse every year. I used about 30 bottles of other med? icine to no purpose. The doctors said the only remedy left was amputation; That we all was opposed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of Janua? ry, 1886, and while buying a bill of drugs called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs. Sanford, Cbamberland ft Co. recommend the B. B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bottles, und to my utter surprise after using three or four bottles my girl's leg was entirely healed. I also had a very ugly running soro oii the calf of my leg tttid one bottlo cured it, after having tried all other remedies. I wish you much success, and I do hope that all suffering humanity may hear and believe in the only true blood purifier. I have tried three or four other purifiers, but the B. B. B. is the only one that ever did me or mine any good. You can use my name if you wish. I am well known in this and Washington County, also all over Vir? ginia. R. S. ELSOM. BLOOD TAINT FROM BIRTH.

I could not stand in my clasB to recite my lessons, and eleven bottles of your Balm cured me sound and well. You can use my name as pou see fit.
