"Nothing there but frescoing in the lobby." "AcademW" "Bahr We smoked awhile in silence, and finallv decided to see Mile. Mathilde at Le Petit Thentre Franeaise, away down on Charles street. "If Golson is in the crowd," said Morlan, "we'll appropriate him. Ah! there he is now. Golson. come hitherT A number of the young men had crossed Canal street, and were passing up St. Charles toward Common, others continuing their way along Canal to Baroune. --A handsome, small, delicate student emerged from the crowd He had hands as white and small as a wo man's, long, black hair, a pale, thought ful face, and large, caim, expressive eyes. I was introduced to him. and he grasped my hand warmly and firmly. "Have vou anvthing to do to-night, Golson ?"" "Anything to do? Oh, yes. some infernal thesis, I believe; but hang the tiiesis and by George, tae dissection, too. Where are you going?" "To La Petit Franeaise, we are think ing." "What! the absinthe and the head ache? Come with me to the college. My little girl will do the tight rope from the roof, and I'll introduce you." We turn up St. Charles street to Com mon, down Common to Baronne, aad the college. Crowds were beginning t gather at this point. AVe threaded uur way through the throng that press ed against the railing around the col lege yard, and entered a small door at the side. We climbed four nights of dark, dismal stairs, and stumbled at the turnings. We felt our way along a hall, pervaded by a stilling blackness and a musty smell, from the dissecting rooms. The light from the street be low streamed meagrely through a win dow, and showed us the dim outline of ;i perpendicular ladder near the extreiu m of the halL AVe climbed the bidder and crawled through a hole in the ceil ing. Here the darkness was intense. , AVe found another close at hand, and by feeling for the rungs, gained the top i and emerged upon a steep roof covered , with slate. We looked around. New Orleans lay at our feet in all the glory I of a starry night. On the south we . could trace the river, winding in a cres ! cent form around the city, and reflect i ing the colored lights from tlie ship- ping. Away to the northeast could be j seen the dark, flat surface of the hike, i To the southeast lay the French quar i ter, with its tall, old fashioned houses ! and its narrow streets.

She glanced back at these, two were rough looking men;! the attendants, and regarded the pile the third was a woman in tights and ! short skirts, and covered with spangles and stars and gold lace. The men were engaged with certain pulleys and cords in drawing to a greater tension the wire cable that stretched from the parapet of the college to the building opposite. The woman was standing in the shade of the parapet, and looking down ab stractedly upon the thousands of human beings who packed the street, and whose upturned faees, expressive of anticipation, she seemed to be studying attentively. "Already here. Zoe?" asked Golson, in his soft, smooth voice. The woman started and turned quick ly, an expression of intense happiness lighting up her face. "I was looking for you below," she said. "I was afraid, but I am strong now. Ton don't think ITL&Oldo you?" "Certainly not. Ybultfe' verv fool ish to ask such a question." He introduced ns as his friends, andi She shook our hands pleasantlv. She had a rather agreeable face, though we COVM. not see distinctly, the onlv light ' lOemg mat ot the Stars and the faint . t .. - .-- glow from the lamps and torches he- tow. j.n anv event she had n niic ant voice, and that was sufficient. She ' ako was small, and delicate and young., .a. shawl was thrown over her bare uuuiuciaauuaiius, uui nenitue nanos were cold and she shivered in the night air- ' "I -was thinking, Goldy," she said, "that if I should falL" and a more de cided shiver shook her delicate frame. "I wonder what they would think, and how they would feel down there T "Nonsense, little Zoel" She laughed softly and put her arm through Golson's, and looked up into his face with a touching tenderness and reliance. She again scanned the crowd and was thinking. ""WeR, hut suppose I should. Do you think they would care? Or would thev say she was a little fool, and it served herri-htr "What is the matter, pet?" "Oil, nothing nothing whatever," and sheTaughed again nibsicaliy. "I was simply thinking. I remember that a long time ago, when I was a child, :ind my father was letting me stand on his head while he rode two horses bare- Lback around the ring and I was ter- noiy mgntenea once wnen tne norses became wild with fear or something, I . don't remember what and he caught J me strong and close in his arms as I f was falling, and kissed my lips, my cheeks; and eyes, and forehead, and. held me in his arms quite a while, and called me his dear, precious bahv. What was I going to tell you? Oh, yes, about the man who fell from the tight rope. That was terrible! One end of the rope was passed over the roof of a house, carried down the side, and made fast to a wooden block un derneath. It had so happened that the block had rotted off next the ground. and there was no weight npon it what ever. Well, anyhowthey tied the rope around the block, and the professor was half way across the street when he be- Bin to give an exhibition of jumping. Qtldeniywesaw that the rope wasgiv- r. ... .... - -."- in- away, ihe jerfemg had pulled the oiocs ironi under tne nouse, and was dragging it up the side. The professor turned quite pale, and stood and wait- t ed. He came down slowlv with the stop supping over tne root use a long ugly snake. It soon became slack, and it was, of course, much harder to bal ance on it ; but he never lost his pres ence of mind, and stood perfectly calm and straight. AVhen the block had reached the roof it was a two-story house the rope slipped off. I heard the block drop to the ground. I hid my face and crouched down against a wall, and I heard him strike the ground like something dead. Oh, it was so horrible r She peered around into the darkness and shuddered. "Poor fel- iowi ne lett nat on ais tace. It was the cruelest thing that ever happened." She sighed, and still gazed at the crowd below. "Did ir kill him?" "Xo, not quite, but he was delirious for several weeks. AVhen they picked him up the Wood gwshed from his nose. and eyes, and ears, and a bloody froth came from his mouth. I was a little child then and I dreamed ef hint every night fbr'lwo or three years. I dreamed of him again last night for the first time in a great while. I thought I went to pick him up, and could feel his poor broken bones grating against each oth er, ami his poor bloodshot eyes stared wide and cold at me." "You are not well to-night, Zoe," said the man of science, examining her pulse attentively. He became thought ful. "I don't think you ought to risk it," he said. "Oh, I am not afraid now tlir.t you are here," she replied in her charming way. "I think you had better wait." "Now, don't get naughty. I must go. I want to go. AVhy, there's two hun dred dollars in the crowd, and my man ager would be crazy if I didn't" walk. Besides I contracted to do one street walk every two weeks in addition to the lofty eentre-pole walk every day. AAhy, I've done the iofty livi hundred times and never lost my head, aad why is there danger now?" "But it's moredimcult to see the rope at night." "I never look at my feet, anyhow, when I walk." "You are feverish and nervows." "It will make me all the more eare fuL" "AVell, walk then." said Golson, with a shrug of his slioulders. "Now, Goldy don't look that way." He became cheerful and beaming in a moment. The manager appeared on the opposite roof and beckoned the girl to proceed. The attendants at both ends examined the fastenings to see that they were properly secured. They produced trays in which to burn color ed fires, and heaped lnnis of combus tible material upon the parapet. Zoe mounted the parapet with an elastic step, and threw kisses at the shouting crowd below, as the fires brought out her frail form. She looked very charm ing and pretty, standing, smiling, in the intense red glare of tlie light. "Give me the iHjle." she demanded. or tire. "lou are burning it too last, sne said. "Good-bye, Goldy." and she picked her way over the narrow bridge that spanned the yawning chttsm be neath. She was graceful and walked with considerable ease, apparently, stopping occasionally to shift the pole and steady hersetr. "She is walking slow and shaky to night," said one of the men. "She is not walking as well as usual," said Golson, hurriedly, and looking at her steadily. His glances never left her for a moment. "No : she can beat that I think she's in the sulks." Golson paid no attention to the in sult, and watched her with fascinated gaze. . His face was somewhat paler than usual, in spite of the red glare He did not move a single muscle.

His chest was broader and his eyes brighter. He simply smiled at Zo, and did not even applaud her. The shouting below continued. The men made no preparations to remove the rope, but Golson started for" the ladder. "She's comin' back," said one of the men. Golson stopped as if he had been shot through the brain. The hard, anxious look returned and the deathly paUor came back all in an instant "I didn't know that." he said, calmly and resignedly. He resumed his M position, and. watched the girl with in tense interest with a gaze in which were concentrated his soul and her heart and mind and strength a look in which was expressed the profoundest feelings of a strong nature. Zoe rested a moment, and again stepped upon the rope. She bad pro ceeded sbout ten feet, when one of the men remarked: """She's scared." Golson noticed it; we all saw it. Her teeth was so tightly compressed that in the dazzling light we could see ridges in her cheeks. Her nostrils were ex panded, and she stared fixedly ahead of the rope. Her breathing was short, and a frenior appeared in ier anns-and knees. Instead of her usually erect carriage, there was a preceptiWe lean ing forward. When she bad made but i a dozen steps she stopped and appeared to be in doubt. She then apparently made an effort to walk backward, but was evidently afraid to undertake it. She stopped again, mastered her cotrr- age, threw a quick glance at Uolson. and re-commeneed her dangerous jour- about the trees ; but feist week, while ney. The rope trembled and swayed j up in the mountains.

When she had reached the middle it was im - p5sible to proceed, bhe mrgnt have crossed safely, but the fire or. our side was exhausted. She had walked more slowly than usually, and the fire was consumed too soon. She could not see the rope distinctly enough. She stood still for several seconds. The fight be- Lhind her continued to burn, but it was of no assistance to herand immediate ly afterward it was also exhausted. AVe could distinctly see the poor frightened girl by the light from below, but her face was obscured. Theerowdsent up hisses and groans. The rope-walker ' attempted to take another step.

Golson's appearance was painful and pitiable. Great cords stood out upon his face, which was overspread by an agonv of ghastlv pallors. His muscles swelled with ridges and knots, and his ; hands assumed the appearance of an eagle's claws. He gazed at the rope where the girl had a moment ago stood. She had caught by the right hand, and hung suspended over the cobbles. In another moment she grasped the rope with the other hand and hung perfect ly still. Golson waited but a few sec onds, when he saw that the fright had taken the strength from her arms, and that she could not climb upon the rope. He dashed off his hat, and grasped the rope with both hands, and threw one leg across it. He crawled along eare f ully, that the shaking might not cause the girl to lose her hold. The crowd watched him in breathless silence. The rope swung lower under the double i weight, and the fastenings creaked and j grostaed. "Hold fast, my child." we could hear him say to the fainting girL "Hold on, for God's sake, and I will save you!" She raised her head and looked at him for a moment, and then dropped it again between her arms. He approach ed her slowly and painfully, for he was a strauger to the situation, and was afraid of shaking her off. At length he readied her. He whispered something to her, and she looked him full in the face. He allowed his right knee to re main across the rope, threw his right arm over it at the elbow, and twisted his right hand around underneath to secure a firm hold, and passed his left arm around the girl's waist. The strength of six men was in those suple limbs and clean-cut muscles. He drew ner towaru mm. sae reteaseu iter notu. i i her head dropped, ami she fainted. Pav out at the college end?" he shouted. His feet were in that direction. It required four of us to let it out. It slipped over the parapet slowly, and the suspended pair began to lower. "Pay it out!" he shouted again. AVe let it go more rapidly, and he and his swooning charge were against the building across the street. He let him self slide gradually down until he reached the sidewalk, where he was met by the manager. The. latter took the girl to her home. - The crowd gathered around him with wild shouts, but he slipped away, and met us at the door of the college. "AVhere is that scoundrel who said she was sulking?" he demanded with an angry look. AVe pointed him out. Golson walked np to him. explained his business and gave him a stinging Wow in the face that sent him roHing in the gutter. I met the dear old fellow on Califor nia street, the other day, and bis little wife was with him, eharming and pret ty as ever. She laughingly remarked that she liked to see the cireus as mueh as ever, but that she always felt a horror for rope-walking. I almost believe that her dimples are as pretty as on the night she threw kisses to a great erowd in the street. Honored and Blest.

"There is also a large spider which actually easehes small birds occasion ally, and kills and devours them!

The best of his flyers was a eoal-bhudt ss&U ion, named Dusky Pete, who was al most a thoroughbred, and able to go in the best company. FIvnn was. ac customed to saddle Pete when proaching a town, and ride hira iaco it, to give the impression that Ghe ani mal was merely "a Kkelv hoss," and not a flyer. One day he came to town where a country race meeting was be ing held, and he entered Pete. among the contestants. The people of the town, not knowing anything- of his an tecedents, and not being overly im pressed by his appearance, backed iwo or three local favorites heavfly against him. Flynn moved quietly among the crowd, and took all the bets shat were were- offered against his nog. J-aet a the "fivers" were being saddled for the raee. old Judge MeMinamee, who was the turf oracle of that part of the State, arrived on the course, and was ade one of the judges. As "he took fci place in the stand he was told now the betting ran, aad: of the foSy of the owner of the strange entry in backing his "plug" so heavily. Running hi eye over the ruck, the Judge reeognBr-d Pete, and he said. "Gentlemen. heV-5 a dark horse in this race that will nake some of you smell hell before sapper " The Judge was right. Pete, the "dart- horse," laid back until the three yaar- ter pole was reached, when he wen to the front with a rush, aad won th purse and Flyno5 bets with the great est ease.

Henrietta Ca sey is an attractive AVashJagtoa coun ty girl who was eourted by John AV. Nelson, of the same county. Under a promise of marriage Nelson accom plished the seduction of Miss Casey. After this he refused to marry her, and was making preparations to go where the woodbine twineth, wherever that may be. The injured girl hearing this fact revealed her condition to her brother. "I will fix that matter speed ily," he remarked to her; and then go ing to his trunk he drew forth a form idable looking six shooter, whieh he carefully loaded. He then took up she line of march for Nelson's residence, where he arrived in due time. He pre sented the six shooter to Nelson, re marking, "Hadn't you aad Henrietta better get married " or words to that effect. Nelson aUowed they had, aad proceeded at ooce to put the matter in to legal accomplishment. It is proba bly better to use a six skouter argu ment in such cases than go to law. The Ifmrthematem Lumbermen rec ommends the following manner of staining pine to represent black wal nut: Put pulverized asphaltum into a bowl with about twice its bulk of turpentine and set it where it will warm, shaking from time to time until dissolved; then strain and apply with either a cloth or a stiff brush. Try a little first, and if the stain be too dark, thin it with turpentine. If desirable to bring out the grain still more, give a coat of boiled oil and turpentine. When the wood is thoroughly dry, polish with a mixture of two parts shellac varnish and one part boiled oiL Apply by putting a few drops t a time on the cloth and rubbing briskly over the wood.
