K PRACTICAL JOKE.
BY IIBLCB FORREST GRAVES.
Miss Auricula Pendham was neith
er young nor beautifuL In the
world’s eyes she was long past the age
of romance. But in the heart of a true
woman there is always a soft spot
where youth and ,hope bloom eter
nally.
She lived in a little hall bedroom,
in one of those great, un-home-like
boarding houses, where people are
packed together like sardines in a box,
and worked for Mademoiselle Vicini,
the fashionable milliner of Playport.
She had a speaking acquaintance with
Mrs. Bloo^the plump widow, who
sat opposite her at the table; Kitty
Supple, the pretty shoo-girl on her
left, who despised homely people, and
thought no one ought to to live after
she was past thirty; and Mr. Mills, the
foreman in the printing office of the
Playport Eagle, who sat at the corner
beyond, and that was all. .
During the day she worked hard at
the store ; in the evenings she sat at a
window, with a shawl across her
shoulders, and mended her clothes
and read her Testament, and crocheted
on a black worsted mat, which had
been on hand for a year at least, be
cause Kitty Supple generally had
beaux in the parlor, and audibly de
clared she thought old maid bad no
business to be peeping and prying!
1 upon tne whole, it was not a
second-story
ibt
And upon
very lively life.
Mr. Mills, up in his
front, was as solitary as she, no doul
But he was a man. He could go out
to theatres, reading-rooms, chess clubs.
Miss Pendnam was tempted to wish at
times that she was a man.
There was such an utter loneliness
in her heart, that when Billy Parks,
the landlady’s little boy, brought his
mittens to ner to mend early on the
morning of the first of April, she was
glad of the chance to talk to some
body.
1 say, Miss Pendham, observed this
this artless youth, why don’t you get
married.
Miss Pendham colored. Or was 1,
the reflection of the red yarn where
with she was threading a slender
darning-needle.
Everybody doesn't get married,
Billy, said she.
Yes, that’s true, remarked Billy
Mother, she says she wishes shed
never gone and got married, when
father goes on a spree. But Miss Sup
ple she savs, you d have got married
to old Mills long ago, if y<
have caught nim.
Misa Pendham was silent a moment.
She was used to these satirical stings
of Kitty Supple’s vivacious tongue;
but all the same they smarted.
Miss Supple ought not to talk so,
said she. Sne knows that Mr. Mills is
nothing to me.
Mother says that Miss Supple wants
old Mills herself, says Billy. I don’t
like her. I wouldn’t marry her, not
for a hundred dollars! She told moth
er about the comic valentine I sent
the parcel of lace from Kit-
; as she stopped momt

Litre eht said Billy to himsel
was in hopes that it was her young
man’s photo. But I’ll settle her.
When Kitty Supple took her parse
from her pocket, at dinner time, as
she sat down at Mrs. Park’s table, well
spread with beef stew and baked pota
dding
She opened it, surreptitiously, while
the green eyes of Master Billy, gorg
ing his noontide meal, were glued to
the men
ing his n<
her face.
It was filled
glue
with coarse, common
cotton batting.
And in that one second Billy Parks
tasted the sweets of unlimited

But I’ll be quits with her yet
April-fool her, see if I don’t! Did you
ever get April-fooled, Miss Pendham,
when you was a girl? Or April-fool
other folks?
Sometimes, said Miss Pendham, a
moisture blurring her vision as she re
membered the great fragrant barti at
home, and the slim girl—could it he
possible that it was lierself?—filling
the hens’ nests with empty egg shells
and deceptive china eggs, to deceive
the laughing little broiners who were
dead and gone long ago.
Wasn’t it fun, tnougl)? said Billy,
with a chuckle. I mean to April-fool
everybody in the house. Thankee,
Miss Penaham!.
And snatching the mittens from her
hand, he scampered cheerily down
stairs, three steps at a time, flnjahing
up with a prolonged slide down the
banisters. ~
While Miss Pendham tied on her
bponet, arranged her little grey shawl
and went to, ICademoiselle Vicini's
with a bandbox in her hand, which
contained Miss Helena Montrose's
we4ding bonnet—a marvel of white
tulle, orange-buds and point-lace—
upon which she had worked late the
preceding ulght.
And Kitty Supple, who was late at
the store tripped after her with fluffy,
brown fringes of hair escaping from
under her turban hat, and blue eyes
sparkling with mischief.
But she had a pale, frightened look
when she got to the store.
Of. course I didn’t mean it, said Kit
ty; and I don’t suppose it signifies
anything. But the parcel was just
slipped m under the string that tied
the bandbox, and it was tne easiest
thing in the world to pull it out. I
couldn't help laughing to think how
astonished she would be to find it
gone. And I opened it and peeped in
to see what it was. Elegant point lace
that must have cost five or six dollars
a yard! Aqd I put it in my pocket;
and when I next felt for my pocket
handkerchief it was gone. Now I’ve
walked twice over the road, and asked
every one I met if they had seen a

will never know who took it—that’s

But the piece of lace had not ful

When Mias Pendham went up to
her room she found a letter under the
door, out she had no spirit to open it
It’s one of Billy Park’s April jokes,
she thought, as she pushed it aside

What is to become of me?
It was growing dusk now—a sweet,
purple, April dusk, full of faint
scents and sounds of spring even there
in the city streets.
She lighted her lamp and sat down
with her head resting on both hands.
Just then there came a soft tap, tap,
at the door.
Come in! said Miss Pendham.
The door opened, its hinges revolv
ing with a diffident squeakiness.
I hope I don’t intrude? said Mr.
Mills.
Dear me, Mr. Mills, is it you? said
Miss Auricula.

hovering on the threshold, like a re

Owm It away.
It was regarded all over the United
States as a very daring, even toolbar
dy, undertaking, when The Mercury
announced on the morning of June
24 that it propoeed to test the sense of
the people of New York and Brooklyn
upon the queetion .-
Shall the United States Government

ver without waiting for

pean nation, and at a ratio of If to 1?
Such stalwart advocates of the re
habilitatioa of silver at the Atlanta
Constitution in the South and the Cin
cinnati Enquirer in the West thought
that the result of such a ballot must
be disastrous to the cause of free sil
ver.
But the editors of these journals, and
of other newspapers throughout the a—;«» rdV *
country, did not know the people of
New York and failed to appreciate
their undemanding of the evils that
have been brought upon them through
the demonetization of silver.
No one can read the letters which
have been published daily in. The
Mercury, under the heading, “What
the Voters Say,” without oecoming
deeply impressed with the way in
which the working men have grasped
the situation, and the inteUigenoe
which they have shown in advocating
free silver coinage as the first thing to
be accomplished for their relief.
The Mercury has not solicited a sin
gle vote upon this question.
The votes, which have been sent in
by tens and fifties, and in some cases
by hundreds, have been gathered to
gether by men who werejnterested in
theca

£
Oh! cried Auricula, suddenly stoo

but I thought it was one of Billy
Parks’s April fools.
But you’ll go, won’t you? pleadec
the foreman in the Playport Eagle
office.
I should like it very much, said
Auricula, feeling henelf color to the
roots of her hair.
And, speaking of April fools, slow
ly added Mr. Mills, fumbling in his
pocket, when I was on my way to the
office this afternoon, one of our dev
ils—I beg your pardon, Mira Pend
ham; that is an entirely metaphorical
apellation—told me that mv coat-tails
were festooned with something white.
I didn’t mind it much, because I had
three different labels pinned on my
back this morning; but when I capv
to look, it seemea very nice lace. Per
hape you can use it for something.
I’m sure it is of no service to me!
Thus speaking, Mr. Mills drew from
his pocket the five yards of poini lace,
which matched Mira MpnifOfe's bon

Mias Pendham a smothered

at the
shriek of jojr

Oh, Mr. Mills! she cried. I never
was so glad of anything in my life.

And with sobs and tears she ex
plained to him the history of that
piece of lace. ^ x -
They took it at once to Mademoi
selle Vicini before they started for the
concert; and somehow this little inci
dent seemed to establish a mutual un
derstanding between them.
I always thought Min Pendham
was a superior young woman, said
Mr. Mills. Ism more than ever con
vinced of it now. \
y vir. Mills is really very sensible and

She turned up her pretty little nose

Two old things like that setting up

The Clearing of a Mystery.
Washington, Aug. 1.—A letter re
ceded at police headquarters this
morning from the superintendent of
constabulary at Glasgow, Scotland,
apparently cleared up the mysterious
disappearance of the Rev. Dana Day
The letter stated that on July ,
young man was found lying on tne
racks of the Caledonia railway at a
town five miles from Glasgow. He
was badly injured and died on that
day. He was able to say, however,
that he was Dana Davenport, and a
medical student of Washii
ngton
A. The body was interred By the Cal-
N.S.
edonia railway officials. A descrip
tion of the deceased given tallied
with that of the missing young minis
ter, excepting his clothes were not the
ones he wore when he left home.
Young Davenport’s father has little
doubt that the man killed near Glas
gow was his son. Dana Davenport
was evidently demented. He was 28
years old and has had charge of an
Episcopal church at Harrisonville,
Baltimore county, Md. He was last
seen on July 5, when he left his real-
dence in Harrisonville, for Baltimore,
and called upon a friend there. When
he left the house that night, all traoe
of him disappeared.
cause, subscribers to The Mercury,
who saved each day’s paper so as to
secure the vote of a friend upon the
ballot printed therein.
The Best testimony to this statement
is following, from Mr. F. L. Hatha
way, of Clinton, N. Y.:
The ballots for free coinage in your
contest are astonishingly numerous,
considering the fact that you have not
resorted to the usual methods to get
votes. If some one in each of
country towns of New York had taken
even the little trouble I have gone to
in asking people to vote, your total in
this State alone would easily have
been greater than it will now be for
all the States in the Union. Sixty-five
qualified voters in this town have pei
son&lly written their ballots for fre
coinage, and the same have been for
warded to you. Every man is s voter
and an intelligent citizen, and quite a
number of leading merchants, manu
facturers and farmers. I think I may
well say well done, Clinton! anfi.adt
that ex-Collector Magone did, not
speak rightly for Clinton, at
when he told The Mercury th
Democrats in Northern New
take no interest in the silver question.
But by far the largest proportion of
the votes have come in one at a time
in an envelope, with a two-cent stamp
on the envelope, sometimes accompa
nied by a letter, but generally not.
So far as space would permit we
have published these letters from day
to day, following the announcement
of the vote, but when so many were
received, some had to he left out.
The Mercury beheved that it voiced
the demands of the people in advocat-
ing the free coinage of si
diq, not know it until
taken.
The result is astonishing when it is
remembered that no effort was made
to indisne

Ashville, N. C., July 27.—In the
se of H. G. Ewart, Judge of the
Criminal Court, against Frank E.
Robinson, editor of the Citizen, for
contempt, the editor appeared today
8. Adams, Lock Craig, J. D.
and Judge Chas. Moore,
prominent members of the Ashville
Bar, who had volunteered their
vioes to defend the editor.
The answer of the Citixen to the
charge of contempt was that the edi
to rial complained of did not represent
the proceeding of the court unfairly,
The criticism was made in pursuance
of the rights of the prea under the
Constitution of the United States, ahd
North Carolina as well. The editor
further denied that he Intended any
contempt of court, and, under deci
sions of the Supreme Court of North
Qarolina, it was believed by all the at
torneys that this purging of the de
fendant settled the matter.
„ To the surprise of all present, how
ever, Judge Ewart, after a long deci
sion from the benen, during which he
displayed great feeling, ended by aent-
the common jail of Buncombe county
lor thirty days. Bail was fixed at
82,000, and in a few minutes the bond
was made up by the leading citizens—
bankers, merchants and others of the
city, and the editor was released from
the custody of the court.
An appeal was at once taken to the
Supreme Court of North Carolina.
The case will be fought by the best
talent in the State.

An Old Man*, Folly.
Jacksville, Fla., July 31.—A spec
ial to the Times-Union from Macclenny
Fla., says: The suspection is growing
that Mrs. G. W. Craig haa not told
all she knows about tire assault on her
husband on Monday night, in which
his skull was broken. Mr. Craig i& an
old man and is considered wealthy.
Some months ago he advertised
for a wife and the advertisment
was answered by a Mrs Bai
ley, of Albion, 111. Mrs. Bailey
came to see Craig and they were mar
ried on the day of her arrival With
Mrs. Baily came a young girl, wno,
she said, was her daughter. Soon af
ter the marriage it was learned that Mr
Craig were not living happily. Mrs.
Craig was a handsome woman much
younger than her husband, and very
extravagant, it is alleged. Some time
ago Mrs. Craig said she and her
daughter were going back to Albion,
111, as the could not endure Craig.
The disagreement of the people, to-
sther with the queer story told by
rs. Craig of the araualt on her hus
band. has caused suspicion to be di
rected towards her. It is considered
very remarkable that she should see
of the sermoqs she preaches
v. A. J. Streator, of Society Hill
is authority for the following:
“She preached her first sermon at
Releigh, N. C. Then she went to Ox
ford, N. C., where, she began a series
of meetings in a private bouse, bu .
the attendance soon became so. great
that the largest church in the tpwn
had to be engaged. Here 150 persons
professed religion as the result of her
preaching. Sandford. N. C., was her
next point and here she mad? thirty-
four convert*. Then to Vqss, for one
day, with ten converts as the result.
Then to Wadesboro and fifty converts,
and from there to Monroe, and there!.
were thirty-nine converts. From there
ti> Society Hill, where she made
twenty-two converts.” She is now at
work at Cheraw, S. C.
The Rev. Streator says: “She lays
hold of her text with a Herculean
grasp, and sways her audience with a
gift peculiarly divine. AH who hear
her are forced to believe that God has
called her to preach the.gospel. I was
opposed to women preaching until
heard this child, then I decided to let
God’s business as he would have iL"
She dresses modestly and neatly
shows a decided distaste for all nt
and jewels of all descriptions.
, The negroes throughout the whole
section in which she has been regardec
her with great awe, and are lavish in
their gifts to her. When she believes
the donor unable to make the sacrifice
she refuses to accept the proffered gift.
The superstitious attribute wonderfu
healing power to her and remarkable
stories are told of cures effected merely
by her presence. These stories, how
ever, lack confirmation and are be
lieved only by the most credulous.

Ten years ago there were only six
bicycle manufatories in the United
States, and in 1885 the' number of
wheels turned out was 11,000. Now
there are twenty-six manufactories,
and it is estimated that 500,000 wheels
will be made this year.

Dear Sir:—I have, at different times,
used three first-class, high-toned and high-
priced Sewing Machines. 1 therefore felt
rather skeptical aa to a so-called cheap ma
chine giving me satisfaction. But after a
thorough test of toot new “Superior,” I
find myself perfectly satisfied. In no wsy
inferior, it is, aa Its name implies, in many
roe peels superior. Anticipating all re
quirements, It insures excellent work—
oombtntog simplicity and nttllty In every
detail. Its complete and beautiful stand
la a fitting casket for the treasure within,
and your reasonable price makes a first-
Clara machine a possibility to those by
whom it is most needed 1 would like to
see a new “Superior” In toe home of every
working woman in toe land.
