"Which is exactly the euse, but. I am not in the mood to enj >y myself io da)-?oh, dear !" Kate Raymond and Florence Broughton, like a great many others , were promenading the lulls of a large l.uildii-g whero an annual fair was held, giving the young people the oppoilunity of exhibiting themselves and injnying each others society, and, on the p'i sent occasion, rtfl'inling an agreeable recreation to the young ladies of the hoarding school located in M-. Misses Raymond ami Broughton were among the number thus associated, and, t-gelber with an intimate friend, Annie Milnor, were in attendance at the fair. Florence was a sparkling brunett e, with a very nttrac'ive beauty and I engaging manners. Her companion j was not at ad remarkable in appear j nii'-e, possessing a rather passive face with no distinct lines of beauty en graved on it, and, if nstranger, you would not think of looking twice un less you caught the earnest express ion deep down in her quiet, thought I ful eyes, w hich wen; dark-gray, and J half hidden beneath long, dusky lashes. Those who knew her well, were accustomed to watch the chan ges there, as now5 they brightened with interest, gleamed with mis 'hiof, or deepened into a far-away, wistful gn'/e. Of a sociable, lively disposi lion, gay very often, still her friends felt, rather than spoke of an undetin able reserve that pervaded her con duct, especially was this seen in the disguise of her real sentiments, which were always cloaked under wit,satire , or nonsense, rendering it almost im possible to tell when she was in earn - est, as the most serious opinions given on important subjects were often times contradicted by a sparkle of the eye, while a light, jesting man ner might conceal deep feeling. One of the girls once said she was an enigma, but Florence, who saw most of her, and ought to have known most, said the was a different and mo re difficult kind of pu/./Je; for the most of people by patience and study, could work out an enigma, but she would defy any body with a knowledge of human nature greatly inferior to that of the Bard of Avon to make out Kate Raymond. Theroloro, when Kate expressed her disinclination for nu introduction to Anuio Milnor 's brother, and gave uttoranco to the remarks recorded abovo, Florence did not understand herns usual, and knew she would receive no further by l'KSTEIXE. enlightenment. Now this brother occupied a lurge space in his nft'ic tionato sister's heart, and often had his praise been sounded in the oars of | Kate and Florence, who, consequent ly felt no little couri ?ity respsetitr; this paragon of fraternal excellence, and were quite plumed when infWm ed by Annie ol his expected uttend mice at the approaching festival. Indeed, according ton fashion quite popular among school g'r'.s he had been gi\en to Kate, and many were the messages exchanged between them 11; rough the medium of A uuic's 1 et tors, so that his name bccaiho quite a familiar word with her. and any thing especially pleas ng was im mediately pro turn need to be "Jimmy" widen she said, was the only slung expression among the many current at boarding school, she thought be - coming to a young lady. Consequent ly, when she received the information that. Mr. Jimmie Milnor was in - and would most probably, b.: pre sented on the morrow, her courage sank nearly to zero, it never did quite got there, as sell-posse ssion was a trait she greatly admired aud culti vated; however, she telt considerable misgivings as his traits and capabili ties of repression were unknown, nevertheless, if there was any sacri fice of dignity or formality, she re solved it wou'd not proceed from her. Florence anticipated a great deal of fun over the introduction and was positively chagrined when the first attempt failed. Annie [met her brother at che entrance. Kate was immediately pointed out and an in troduction sought. She was standing in a group talking when he approach ed with his sister and spoke to Flor ence, who had passe I the prelimi naries necessary 10 an acquaintance already. So s.ion as she heard their voices, Kate turned away,but moving too hastily, her parasol came in con tact with somebody's arm, and fell frotu her hands. Very politely, Mr. Milnor sprang forward and restore! .it, i aiu| ...received_a ..ia?ty: tudI't?I jy spoken "thank you" in return from Miss Raymond, who huriiedly m< veil off, disregarding the call of Annie, and dragging the unwilling Florence with her, who, sosoi.n as ih?y were unheard by the others, inquired what her companion meant by such eon I duct so contradictory to what might have been expecte I, and received the j reply with which this episode is com menced. Who i their conversation was suddenly brought to a pau-e by (he ejaculation from Kate, the latter found herself face to face with the smiling young gentleman, and was dimly conscious of bowing^i a dazed, confused manner as he was formally presented, and liie ue*l moment be iield In r gloved fiu^ers in c'ose proximity in a broad cloth sleeve, I (she Was not to excited to lake cog j ni/auce of that, she al erwardsnssser ted), and herself listening to a low voice that was paying how often its owner had hoard ol her through bis sister, and how anxi us he was to meet one in whose p-ai.-e so much had be(ii spoken. She maintained her part of the conversation very creditable, though afterwards she di I not remember whether he liked promenading or serenading best. Dur ing bis stay in M-, he called several times, and was really a very pleasant and entertaining conversa tionalist, she said when Florence ask ed her opinion of him, but no more messages were exchanged. Indeed, no one would have dreamed that, two such dignified and eminently proper persons had ever hocii guilty of such nonsense?they never had said a word about each other before, of course not. "The world rolls ever round and round, And time rolls ever by," so by its inevitable mutations, our friends, Kate, Annie, and Florence, found themselves no longer careless, uninteresting, light-hearted school girls, but young ladies received into socieij with the usual eel it, and according to an old promise, renew ed theiv intimacy by exchanging visits. Kato and Annie visited Florence first and after an interval of several months, they all met again at A nine's home. Kate ever unlucky, met with a slight n<lventure ou the way. As the distance could be accomplished in a cl ny, she journcyi rl without an escort, nod as the conductor handed her 1'onv tho train at a stntiou where a change of cars was necessary, a hand some stranger on the platform rec-iv c ? her rapturously, and with such demonstration; of afldotiou as qaite .. tonished this self-poscsse 1 young lady. So soon as she could extricate herself and command her voice, she demanded with angry inperiousness, "Who arc you. sir, and what do you mean by treating a lady in such a rude and offensive manner?" lie stared at her with such blank nr.-ur/ement depicted tin every linen nurit of liis handsome face, that Kate resorted to her handkerchief to oatcea) the smile that notwithstand ing her indignation, would creep to lips. Finally be stammered : "Are you not my cousin, Kate?'' "My name is Kate, but you havo no right to insert u possessive pro noun before it, and permit meto cau tion you, young man. that, halo im y >u I ' attempt such oscillatory demonstra tions for the delectat:on of the rocipi ent, it would be prudent to ascertain first; if you have the right to such privileges, before you make such an affecting seeno for the entertainment of nn intelligent mid appreciative public," with u sweep of her band to the group of cab-drivers and police men who were enjoy iiig the spectacle.

Toni Collette is a minor, teamster, coal burner, or anything else that is necessary when he finds that bis pock et is growing empty and bis larder lean. Tom, with two friends, Joe and Jake, was maVing a painful journey from Pine Grove, in Esmcr alda county, to eastern Nevada. They camped one afternoon by some hot springs near "Walker lake, and dis covering a ho'c half mil of cold water uear one of the hottest springs, turn ed the hot water, as it flowed out of the spring, into the bole, until the hot and cold water blending mado exactly the right temperatuic for a bath. Then they plunged in and en joyed the delicious water as only those can who have traveled over dusty alkali roads for several days. When they had eaten their supper and lighted their pipes, the theme of con versation for a long time while they smoked was their bath, and the wonderful refreshment which it had brought them. They spread their blankets on a grassy spot behind some willows, a few yards away from the springs, and tell asleep. Tom was up with the dawn. The memory of the bath was fresh in his mind, and so he bounded from h is blankets, and, with a skip and a jump, plunged into the clear water and sank to his neck. Then came ahowd of anguish, and he sprang upon the bank with all the agility of a wild cat. In the meantime, his fair skin bad changed-to the co'or of a pickled lobster. The hot water had been running all night; ail the cold water had been neutralized hours before the dawn, and now the water in the hole was almost ot the same temperature as the water in the boiling spring from which it flowed. Tom was in a terrible state. He says: "I thought I was pickled." But he did not hesi tate as to the eoursc he should pur sue". " 'f" ' With infinite caro he drew on his pants and boots. Forcing back tears of anguish, he managed to walk back toenmp. Though it wrung his heart, he put on his old-time frank smile as he ueared ihe rendezvous, for Jake was just then sitting up in his blank ets, gaping and stretching. Seeing Tom approach, Jake asked where he had ben. Tom replied that the recollection of the magnificent bath of the previous evening was sj vivid in his memory that he could not think of breaking camp without re penting it, and added: "It's just lovely, Jake." Jake did not wait to hoar more, but sprang from his bed and rushed away toward the spring. As swiftly as Tom could, bo followed, and from behind the willows kept covert watch. He saw Jake throw offhis few clothes, spring into the water, heard a yell of anguish, and then saw him with wonderful baste emerge and spring upon the bank, and vainly try, by swift applications of his hands to different points of his body, to arrest the intolerable pain, howling all the t i in e. At last Jake managed to get into his elothes and started for camp. Meeting Tom, he began with fierce invective to upbraid him for his de ception. But Tom cut him short in an instant. "Hush up," taid he, "would you bawl like a calf and give us away when I wont to cook that other chap up in camp?" Soothed by tili?, Jake grew quiet^ and both leisurely proceeded to camp. By this time Joo had commenced to rouse up, and seeing the others ap proach, asked thorn where they had been. Tom answered ch- erfully (he was holding bis pantaloons away from his body atthe time: "Do you think wocwuld break camp without one more magnificent swim ? Not much." At this, Joe, gettiug up.criod : j "Not much, you bet!" and dashed away toward the spring. As ho disappeared behind the wil lows, Tom sprang for his pistol, and | said to Jake: "Get your gun quick; it will mean business wiieu Joe comes back." In a few moments Joe did come. He was yelling furiously, and never stopped until he caught up Ii'h pistol. "Drop it," says Tom, "I have a dead bead on you, and so has Jake. Besides, I took ad the cap-j off your gun." The difficulty was finally adjusted; but the trio did not feel well for the succeeding three days. Educating an Army. Gen. McClellan says, in Seribher, that when oneofthe khedivo's Ameri can officers ha:] been some months in JLgypt, the khedivc scut for iujn one day, and asked him what.was the worst thing he had observed in regard to the army. lie replied trjdt it was that the regiments were commanded by civilians. The khedivc said: "No, there is a colonel for every regi ment." "Yes," paid the American, "but each olonel, chief of battalio'u, and captain has a civilian clerk who controls everything relating to the pay, rations and clothing of tho men. ami whoever does that really com mands." "You are rig: t," said the khedivc, "but how would you correct this?" "By requiring that the colo nels should have sergeants as their clerks; the chiefs of battalions, corpor als; the captains, private soldiers; aud alse requiring that the officers should supervise and do much of the real work themselves" "That means that the army should learn reading and writing and arithmetic !" "That is exactly what I was coining at, your highness." The khedivc re flected for a m uncut, and then at once wrote an order to the minister of war, requiring; that from that nip ment no person in the army (cither officer or soldier) should be promoted until he was master of reading writ ing and arithmetic. Tho consequence wus that the whole army became a school. The treasurer of the United States < furnishes the following description of the recent counterfeit five dollar notes on the Central German aud Union ' National banks of Chicago, aud tho Farmers' National B ink of Virginia, III. Thesi counterfeits were made from the same plate as the "Trader" of Chicago, and are printed in this way : Tue counterfeiters printed a number of notes from the "Trader's" plate, leaving the word's "National Bank of Illinois," and as a number of these notes are still in the hands of the counterfeiters, they are enabled, by having the title printed iu, to make a new counterfeit. This is tho way the fives on the Aurora, Canton, Pax ton and Peru banks were made. All genuine five dollar notes on tho Central and German National banks of Chicago, have the name of Jno. Aliison as register, while counterfeits have the name of S. B. Colby as register. All genuine fives on tho Union National Bank of Chicago are dated January 14, 1S0?; the counter feits are dated May 10, 1865. All genuine fives on the Farmers' Nation al Bank of Virginia, 111., are dated September 1, 1805; the counterfeits arr dated May 10, 1805. The public will do well to examine carefully all fives on Illinois banks, as somo of tin.-c unfinished bills are sfill in ex istence and can be readily chaugod into a new counter.eit.
