Of the pinkest foecbia's toasing plume,
All over the beets of the prettiest girl
That ever Imprisoned a rompingearl.
Or, tying her bonnet under her efeia.
Tied a yoong man's heart within.
Steeper and steeper grew the hill ;
Madder, merrier, coillier still
The western wind blew dawn, and played
The wildest tricks with the little maid.
As, tying her bonnet under her ehin,
She lied a yoeag man's heart within.
O woatern wind, doyoa think It was fair
To play gaeh tricks with her floating hair?
To gladly, gteefolly do yoar best
To blow her against the young man's breast,
Where he as gladly folded her in.
And kissed ber znoath and dimpled ehin?
Ah ! Ellery Vane, yon little thonght
An hoar ago, when yon besought

WHO BOBBED MADAME.
"Does Mademoiselle de Giay know
of your suspicions?" I inquired 03 a
deep 30b choked her utterance.
"She does. A few hours before I
sent for you I told her of my loss, and
entreated her to confess and receive
my forgiveness."
"With what result?"
"She gazed; at me with startled eyes
for a moment, and then in proud, al
most scornful accents replied that T,
above all others, should know wheth
er she was capable of such a deed."
"And is she acquainted with the
fact of your having secured my ser-

of most attractive appearance.
"Detective Ashion," I responded,
hastily drawing forward a chair.
She sunk into it, and by a silent
gesture invited me to be seated. Pres
ently she murmured in a low quiver
ing voice: "Monsieur. I am in great
distress. My " and she again paus

After a few minutes serious consid

"Madame, I will watch here night

ame shook her head despondingly.
"It is ouite useless. Monsieur. T
am no coward, and have already tried
that plan, and strange to say, my cab
inet remained intact both times."
"Perhaps Mademoiselle suspected
your intentions." I replied. "This
time we must guard against the possi
bility. And now, if you please, I
will trouble you for a few more de
tails. About what time do those rob-
beries take place ?"

iev uoars previous, she snapped the Mademoiselle
spring and reelosed the desk. Then herself first
turning quickly away she went over
to the store closet.
I now left my hidding place and
cautiously followed. When I reach
ed the door she was in the act of re
moving the false bottom from a large
jappaned box in one corner. Drop
ping it on the floor beside, she took
from the box a roll of notes, and, after
adding the one just stolen, returned
the bundle to its place again. Then
nastily resroriug the box to its former
order, she rose and turned awa3
stepped back a pace or two, with
the design'of seizing her outside the
closet.
In a moment she appearodtnd con
fronted me, and for the first time I
obtained a fair view of her features.
But instead of the horror and dismay
which I had been anticipating, I was
the one to fall back aghast. My out
stretched arms dropped powerless as,
with swift tread and strong gaze, she
swept past me and out of the room.
"And this is the solution !" I mut

"What else, Monsieur? she queried
impatiently.
"Kothing else, Mademoiselle, ex

Mademoiselle gazed at me a moment
in silence, and then turning, sudden
ly fiuug herarms about the Madame's
neck, and kissing her on both cheeke,
exclaimed between tear? and laughter:
"Oh ! you naughty, naughty thief."
Madame stared from Mademoiselle to
me, the pioture of bewildered dismay ;
then dropping her eyes to the floor
she revolved, apparently, some per
plexing question. Presently she
lonired np.
"Tell me, Antoinette," she mut
tered doubtfully, "why did you drug
Monsieur's coffee?"
"I!" exclaimed Mademoiselle,
flushing with astonishment, "I did it
no more than I stole the money. I

"Xot a shadow of suspicion

"And the resident teachers?"
She ga?ped once or twice, and then,
controlling herself with a mighty ef
fort, answered tremulously :
Pardon my agitation ; I am worn
with trouble and anxiety," adding
presently, ia more even tones, "I will
tell you about it. Monsieur. My
school is, as you doubtless know from
report, the best, and, consequently,
the most flourishing in the city. I
take much money and often keep
large sums by me. This is my private
business room, and in vonder cabinet
I store rny surplus funds.
"A rather unsafe- place," I com
mented. "Not at all, Monsieur," she answer
ed decidedly. "It is furnished with
a secret receptacle. Discover it if you
Can." Aad rising she led thu wnv to
j ..
the cabinet and threw open the desk.
But I exhausted my wits to no pur
pose. Madame looked on in silence
till I drew back and folded my arms.
She then quietly asked:
"You would not suspect the fact I
have stated ?"
"If the secret compartment is here,
most certainly not."
"Itis-hereshe replied, briefly and
emphatically, as she closed the desk.
"How uiany times have vou been
robbed ?"
"lightly for the past week," she
answered excitedly. A large amount
was taken the first night, but since
then only a few counterfeits which I
deposited in the hope of detecting the
thief without assistance"
"Hb any one under your roof a
knowledge of the secret of the cabi
net?" I inquired, after a little inter
val of silence.
"But one!" she cried bursting into
tears, and wringing her hands in an
agony of distress.
I again deliberated a moment, and
then said firmly :
"Madame. I have not a doubt that
I can, in time, clear up the matter
without assistance. But it is no less
certain that perfect candor on yonr
pan win greatly aid me."
It was some minutes before she
eould compose herself sufficiently to
answer. When she did, it was in
heart-broken tones :
"You are right Mousieur, I must
tell you. My suspicions point to one
who has for years been mv all
namely. Mademoiselle de Autoiuette
de Gray. Mademioselle de Gray has
been my protege since the death of
ber parents, which occurred w bile she
wag yet an infant. In her I have hith
erto reposed the moat unlimited con
fidence ; now I am distracted with
doubts impossible to silence.
"But, Monsieur, I have not sent for

After some further conversation I
my leave, promising to return
about midnight. I did so. Madem
oiselle and the servants had retired,
and, as previously arranged, Madame
answered ray light tap herself. She
ushered me into the private room,
and soon bade me good-night.
After a short absence she returned
with a steaming of cup coffee and a
plate of Dutch cake.
'I always take a cup of coffee before
will Madame say ? Will she readily
credit the report I must give?"
Without deciding on the question I
dropped on the sofa and made myself
comfortable for the remainder of the
night. As on the previous day, Mad
ame sought me early. She looked at
me scrutinizingly.
"Ah! Monsieur ha3 had another
good night without the aid of drugs,"
ahe remarked aouewhat tartly.
"YesfSladame, a very good one," I
repliedg"butl first earne'd the right."

"Yes, Madame," I answered, find

"And now will you kindly allow me
to see Madamoiselle de Gray ?"
"No Monsieur! no!" she replied
with hasty emphasis. "My poor An
toinette has sinned no doubt; but
she shall be protected. You shall not
see my poor child Monsieur," she con
cluded passionately. "Heaven and I
v 111 make a good woman out of her
yet!"
"My dear Madame, you quite mis
take me," I answered feelingly. Mad
amohsle is innocent." I wa3 hardly
prepared for the little French wo-

That is only
The Summer warmth has left the sky.
The Summer songs have died away ;
And withered in the foot-patbfi lie
The fallen leaves, but yesterday
With ruby and with topaz gay.
The grass Is browning on the hills;
Xo pale, belated flowers recall
The astrll fringes of the rills,
And drearily the dead vines fall.
Frost-blackened, from the roadside waU.
Yet, through the gray irad sombre -reaods.
Against the dusk of fir and pine,
Last of their floral sisterhood.
The hazel's yellow blossoms shine,
Tbetwany gold of AfrJe's mine;
Small beauty hath my unsung flower,
Kor Spring to own or Summer hail ;
Cut in the seosons's saddest hoar.
To skies that weep and winds that waf!.
Its glad scrprisals never fall.
O, days grown cold ! O, life grown old !
No rose of June may bloom again ;
But, like the hazel's twisted gold.
Through early frost and later rain.
Shall hints of Summer-time remain.
And as within the hazel's bough
A gift of mystic virtue dwells.
That points to golden ores below,
And in dry desert places tells
Where flow unseen the coo!, sweet weils
So, in the wise Diviner's hand,
Be mine the hazel's grateful part.
To feel, beneath a thirsty land.
The living waters thrill and start.
The beating of the rivulet's heart.
Safficeth me the gift to light
With latest bloom the dark, cold days;
To call some hidden spring to sight,
,Tnat, in tiit-sedry and dusty ways.
ShalLsing Its pleasant songToTrfpratsA"
next moment, a3 she again showered
kisses on Madame'a roseate cheeks,
"but perhaps you oan plead guilty."
Again bewildered dismay widened
Madame's eyes, and after a little, she
faltered :
"Oh. Antoinette, I I yes, I cer
tainly did ! Monsieur slept well and I
slept poorly. Yes, Monsieur got my
powders ! I never thought of it till
this minute."
'hat powders ?" laughed Made-

ame, more comppsodly. "JQfeltsleep-
iesa anu exeitea. ana put it into a cup
intending to pour my coffee over it ; And makes the desert-land a well
but I must have given the Monsieur
the wrong cup."
Tbeh suddenly snatching the
from the table, she thrut
into Mademoiselle de Gray's
exclaiming tearfully :
"There! keep Ihem, my poor
wronged darling. I have played La
Somnambula long enough."
And I, looking at Madame's brown
curls, roseateskin and faultless figure,
thought amusedly : "What a miracle
of French art !" English Magazine.
and house after house went down in
the vain endeavor. The landlords
would not reduce, tor they had fnith
if Smith wouldn't keep the store
Jones would be glad to take it, and
as they had become aeenstomed to
living in the style of $20,000 rents
they dill not like to oorr.e down. But
Smith either quit business or he went
over to some of the side streets, and
Jones knew too much to go into ruin
blindfold, and so the stores are emp
ty. This is as it should be. There is
no reason in keeping up to war prices
in anything, and rents ought to be
the first to come down. True, it de
preciates real estate ; but why should
it not? There is nothing made 03
calling fifty cents a dollar. Men can
not labor forever for landlords.
And, by the way, speaking of com
ing down, there has been and is being
CONSIDERABLE ECOKOMY
practiced at this time. Gentlemen
who, a year ago, were in the habit of
stepping into their fashionable Broad
way tailors and paying $100 or Sl-50
for an overcoat, without asking the
price, are not doing it to any alarm
ing extent. They go into the Bow
ery and the other eh eft p streets, and
buy for $30 to $50 what they would
have to pay $75 to $100 for on Broad
way. And the find that a
boots made n a cheap street
look just as well aud wear
long as the pair that the pretentious
Broadway maker coolly asks, and
gets, $18 for. This style of economiz
ing is getting to be very popular. Men

Henry Kergh, tbe frieuri of dumb

umph. Heretofore he baa only been
able to oonviet the drivers of stages
and cads who have over-worked hors

of the law on a proprietor and brot
him up with a round tarn. This is
as it should Le. for the proprietors
compel the drivers to overload the
stages. 2sow let him get after the
street-car companies. It is nothing
uieoBmoa to see a pair of horses go

loaded wit h 80 or 90 peseengers the
poor beasts straining every nerve and
a brutal driver lashing them as tbo'

retiring," she explained, "and tho't 1 have you no desire to learn the name
you might flud one acceptable." And
with a final good-night she left me.
Feeling both chilled and thirsty, I
emptied the cup almost at a draught.
kThen wheeling a chair behind the
curtains draping a bay window, I ex
tinguished the light and sat down to
await the appearance of the unknown
thief
But I saw nothing. Just at day
break Madame softly entered the
room and spoke to me. I rose unstead
ily to my feet and stepped from be
hind the curtains. She gazed at me
in surprise for a moment, and then
smiled a little ironically :
"Monsieur slept well, I perceive."
"Yes. Madame, if well means
soundly," I replied. "The coffee was
drugged."
"Drugged!" she echoed, staggering,
pack a pace or two.
"Yes, Madame. Permit me to ask
who made it?"
"Who made it?" she repeated, in a
deep hollow tone, "Mademoiselle de
Gray! And and, Monsieur, the mon
ey is gone!"
"But," I answered, with some vex
ation, Mademoiselle, of all others
should not have known of ray pres
ence here.''
"Ah, Monsieur, I was most care
ful," returned Madame, sorrowfully.
"'Tis a mystery how she gained her
knowledge.
"Well, Madame," I answered, after
a few minutes deliberation, "we will
meet Mademoiselle on her own
ground. Permit Ker, if you please, to
prepare anothercupcf coffee to-night.
She will no dcubt count upon its ef
fects." Aiw that night I received
.if.
another steaming cup. But it was re
ceived only. Consequently I was not
found napping. I had watched pati-i
ently for two hours or more, when
the door softly opened, and a pale,
slender, little old woman, wrapped in
a crimson dressing-gown, and about
whose bare head floated a few scanty
gray locks, stole noislessly into the
room. She carried a hunch of keys
and a lighted taper.in a small bronze
caudleatick. Closing the door careful
ly behind her, she proceeded at once
to the oabinet. "Can this weird look
ing woman he Mademoiselle de
Gray ?" I thought, gazing at tbe sing
ular apparition. "Xo, it cannot be.
Certainly, Mademoiselle is young.
This might be Home old relative or
friend of Madame." Quickly and
nolselssly she approached the cabinet,
and, and in a moment it was unlock
ed and the secret compartment open.
After carefully withdrawing the
notes deposited there by Madame a
of the guilty party?"
"Ah, true !" exelaimed Madaine.
"I forgot all but my infinite joy. Teli
us, Monsieur."
"First, Madame," I answered, "per
mit me to restore your stolen money.
You have your keys, -I see ; will you
be kind enough to open the treasury
box ?"
And hastening to the closet, I
brought out the japanned box.
Madame knelt down and wonder
ingly turned the key, I then lifted
the lid and removed the false bottom.
An astonished exclamation parted
Mademoiselle de Gray's lips, but
Madame leaned over thebox like one
in a dream, aud could not be convinc
ed until the notes were in her hands
and counted, that it was no dream at
all, but a most pleasant reality.
"Yes, Antoinette," she at last said,
rising and casting the notes on the
table, "every sou of it is here. And
to think of it being in the old box,
Antoinette!"
"Yes," smiled Mademoiselle, with
puzzled expression, "but "
"But," interruped Madame, even
more vivaciously, "but who put it
into the box?" And she fixed her
eyes In eager expectancy on mine.
"The the apparition," I faltered,
"entered the room between 2 and 3
o'clock, aud went straight to the cab
net. In a few moments the notes were
purloined and deposited where vou
just now found them."
"But the secret compartment, Mon
sieur," interrupted Madame, excited
ly, "was it opened without difficul
ty?" "Yes, Madame."
"Strange ! most strange!" she ejac
nlated, in prepiexed tones adding
the next instant: "Go on, Mon

this particular case, but as it does not
affect the criminal cases it will not
wa'-d off investigation, though it may
bring under conditions more favora
ble to Beecher than to Tilton. But
the public impression is, nevertheless
that the object of the appeal is to get
time and wear out the public curiosi
ty, which, however ill-founded, is a
very unfortunate impression to get
abroad in a matter touching charac
ter. Now, we do not mean to say
that Beecher is iruilty or innocent, not
entitled to all the benefits of all rules
of lerrnl procedure, but we do mean to
say that the public looks for some
better reason for believing that he is
acting in good faith, and no" resortng
to chicane, than the authority of his
present lawyer, Mr. Shearman, can
furnish. It is most unfortunate for
Mr. Beecher that the gentleman who
has charge of the proceedings should
he a person who has won all hi? legal
J fame as a sharp and adroit practition
er in the services of Fish and Gould.
Indeed, it is one of the incidents of
this unhappy affair which make

We have heretofore spdken of the
new process of making flour now
coming into general use in Minnesota
and elsewhere. It is lustly called a 1
revolution in tradp. Briefly, the pro
cess consists in passing the wheat
through a smut machine ; then thro'
the "Decorticator," where the outer
fiber of the grain is removed ; after
this, grinding it coarsely and submit
ting it to an air-blast which separ
ates the finer flour composed of
starch mostly, from the coarser or
middlings, which contain all the sac
charine and other neutritive proper
ties of the wheat. These middlings,
thus purified, are then ground, form
ing the "New Process" flour.
The idea is of European origin, but
has been vastly improved, and is still
in course of improvement in Minne
sota. By this process, sixteen pounds
more of flour are produced from the
quantity of wheat required to make a
barrel c Hour, in quality tne new nnur
is vastly superior to the oM. Spring
wheat, by this process, will make su
perior flour. More stones are requir
ed, as the running is slower, but the
power will make as much flour as for
merly in consequence of the dimin
ished speed. In price, the new pro
cess flour commands fifty cents more
than that which formerly ranked as
the best. Exchange.

"Oh, he has been punished enough,"

Curiou3, isn't it ? Here is n man who
plundered the taxpnyers for years in
a way that would have made a pick
pocket blush a man who stole right
and left, not only for himself, but a
horde of followers a man who, by
sheer stealing and an adroit use of
what he stole, held the city and State
in the hollow of his hand, and even
aspired to the control of the country;
this thief, swindler, and robber is pit
ied by the men he plundered! I
can't help but think that the men
who pity him envy him, and that.
placed as he was, would have done
the same thing. The newspapers of
me city, to tneir credit oe it said, in
sist on his being kept where he is till
his full term expires. Public opinion
will probably keep him there till he
buys his way out.
And speaking of the Boss, Govern
or Dix did a good thing.the other day.
He supposed, as did all the world,
that the rotund ild thief was dressed
in stripes and doing prison duty the
same as other criminals. Becoming
better informed he addressed a com
munication to Mayor Havemeyer, j
protesting against giving the man
who had plundered the city of $20,
000,000, a suite of rooms, servants, cit
izen's clothes, end other luxuries, and
of allowing him visitors at his own
pleasure. Very properly, the Govern
or characterized this discrimination
between one thief and another as a
"mockery of juslice." Bet the pro
test will do no good. The Bq,ss has
means at his disposal, and he will be
a prisoner of state as long as he choos
es to stay.
