"Now, Lilla, don't be foolish!" said Mrs. Fenwick, tartly. Lilla Fenwick, a young beautv of eighteen, with a round, dimpled face, eyes as blue as pansies, and a fringe of auburn gold hair dropping, after the fashionable style, over her forehead, sat on the hearth-rug, tapping her foot ini-. patiently over its purple pile, and twisty ing a rosebud around her forefinger. Mrs. Fenwick was embroidering at the window afair-visaged and complacent matron, with the square chin and reso lute eye that denote what people call ".i will of one's own." "Mamma," said Lilla, indignantly, "I would never liavo'had that picture painted if I had thought it was for him! You have treated me unfairly! The idea of giving one's portrait to a man who is no relative at all!" "My love," said Mrs. Fenwiek per suasively, "Colonel Nyam has always taken the kindest interest in you." "I don't thank him for it!" "Jle is very rich, and he hasn't a bad habit in the world!" went on Mrs. Fen wick. Lilla tossed her head. "His habits are nothing to me!" she retorted. "Lilla!" "Mamma," said the girl, coloring up, "we may as well have a fair under standing. I don't like groping in the dark; or talking in riddles. You want me to marrv Colonel Nyam but I shall not!" "And why not; may I ask?" Mrs. Fenwick was evidently strug gling to preserve her equanimity. "First and foremost, because I don't love him! secondly, he is older than my father!" "Lilla," said Mrs. Fenwick, "do 3011 know how many other girls there are. in New York, who would be delighted to have such an opportunity as you are Hinging away?" "No, mamma," the girl answered, in differently. "And I don't think I care; but of one thing you may be certain I will never marry Howard Nyam!'' Mrs. Fenwick looked after her lovely daughter as the young girl walked out of the room. "You will marry Howard Nyam," she said to herself, "or I wiTl know the rea son why." And she set herself to work, ponder ing what could possibly have inspired Lilla with such aversion to the rich Cal iforuian whose addresses were so ac ceptable in a worldly point of view. While Lilla fastened on her dark blue velvet hat with its snowy ostrich plume, dressed after the orthodox promenade costume, and went straight to the stu dio of Mr. Valentine Clyde, in Mildew Square. Jl was a quaint, picturesque fort of placeTV'itii walls draped in ruby velvet, very ancier. cabinets of shining carved woods, portfolios of expensive prints and engravings, and lay-figures twisted into all sorts of preposterous positions, while, from a frosted glass window high up on the north side, a tide of chill white radiance poured down like vivid moonlight. In the middle of the room was an easel, and before the easel a slender, dark-mustached young man was stand ing with folded arms. His face bright ened into welcoming smiles as the at tendant flung open the door, annoiinein" "A lady to see Mr. Clyde!" Mr. Clyde drew forward an easy chair. "Miss Fenwiek!" cried he, "this is indeod, an agreeable surprise! I was just taking a last look at your picture before it is sent home." Lilla sat down with the royal grace of a voting queen, and put. up "a jewelled eye-glass to her pretty, near-sighted eyes. "Is it finished?" "Quite." "And excuse me paid for?" Mr. Clyde reddened a little, "Your father has just now sent me a check. Miss Fenwick." "Oh!" said Lilla, glancing around. "Would you kindly lend me a penknife, or a pair of scissors?" Mr. Clyde, much wondering, pro duced a little pearl-handled knife from the recesses of his vest pocket. Lilla began to play with it in an absent sort of way. "Do vou like tho picture?" said Mr. Clyde. "It is a beautiful painting," said Lil la, "and a correct likeness." And then she opened the keen blade of the knife, and calmly cut the canvas from one side to the oilier! "Miss Fenwick!" cried the young artist, aghast. "Do you think I am crazy?" said Lil la, smiling. "But I am not The picture is excellent you have made it perfect. But I do not wish that it should go out of this studio." Valentine Clyde bit his lips. Miss Fen wick should learn that she was not the only person in the world that could do insane things. Drawing her father's check from his desk drawer he deliber ately tore it into slips. "There!" he said. "If the work of art is destroyed it merits no compen sation." Lilla burst into tears. "Mr. Clyde," she said, "ou are un kind. You you do not know all." "I know one tiling" said Valentine, falling on his knees in front of the big chair and its beautiful occupant. "I love you, Miss Fenwick. Do you sup pose I could study your face all these weeks and yet keep myself heart-whole? For God's sake, Miss Fenwick, do not keep me in suspense!" "I will not," said Lilla, smiling thro1 her tears. "I have spoiled your picture, Mr. Clyde; will 30U accept the original in its place?" And the dim old studio, with its wine red draperies and white rain of light became the radiant temple of Love, it self, as Valentine and Lilla sat there, talking the sweet nonsense that so .ma ny lovers have talked in the years that are past. "Engaged to an artist!" said Mrs. Fenwick, scarcely able to credit the ev idence of her own senses. "Well, I, for one, will never give my consent; and Colonel Nyam called here only this afternoon, t ask your papa's leave formally to address you." "Well, he can now turn his attentions in, some other quarter," said Lilla, saucily. "There is Aunt Naomi disen- gaged; and old Misj Fowheedles" Thcv are much more suitable to him than should have been. Mamma, dear, don't look so portentiouslv grave. If I should have married Colonel Xvam I would have committed suicide iii two weecks now I am so happy oh! so happv Jtliati t seem as if I were walking on -t'ValH, with roses and sunshine nil -iVmini! mi- Vf,r I love Vnb.ritine !tnd Valentine loves me!"

"The young ladies are very eccentric now-a-days," said he. "I believe it is owing to" the fact of their reading so man' novels." And he proposed next day to Miss Julia Symons, a pretty little girl of six teen, wlio chanced to be at homfc for the Easter holidays. Miss Julia was very tired of school, of her rich relations' snubs, and of the dreary prospect of being a governess, so she said "yes." "See what you have lost!" said Mcs. Fenwick, bursting into tears. "See what I have gained!" sain. Lilla, bnirhtly. "Dear mamma, uotr'iaQkso luirubrious! r'nlcntine has receivff th atinointment of artist-in:cliicf to the United States Scientific Expedition, and . . ........ ... I am to travel all over the world with bjm and we shall be so happv!" Just eighteen months afterward Col. Nvam failed, and his little doll of a wife subsided out of her brown stone palace into three rooms on a flat. ""'iioiiinvword!" said Mrs. Fenwick. "I really think Lilla made the widest choice, after all. For people are giving absurd prices for Valentine Clyde's pic tures, and he's getting to be quite the fashion, they tell me." But Mrs. Fenwiek, being a worldly minded matron, attached no sort of con sequence to the fact that Lilla's heart had been given to Valentine Clyde, and not to Colonel Nvam. The House of Savoy. Brave, dissolute, unscrupulous, vet with some statesmanlike insight, and j extraordinary tenacity, the line from j Humbert II. (1078), "down to Victor! Emmanuel, through 800 years of varied fortune, might always have been accu rately described as the soldier-dynasty of the Alps, with all the vices and ma ny of the virtues the world attributes to the soldier and "hungry mountaineer. The greatest man of the house, until Victor Emmanuel appeared, the won derful general whom our forefathers so much admired, and who, by the side of Marlborough, upheld through a long career of victory the cause of Europe against Louis XIV., and who signed himself habitually, "Eugenio von S voye," because he was as much Italian as German, and as much Frenchman as either, appears in his memoirs, under all his court varnish and all his inngna nimit', a thorough Savoyard daring, ambitious, dissolute, luxurious, and per sistent as a river. In Victor Emmanuel this last quality, always so perceptible in his house, took a shape that made the fortune alike of his dynasty and of Italy. When, after the dark day of No vara, hejiscended the throne, his sub jects expected in the sullenly brave young prince, so deeply connected with the Austrian house, an Italian Haps burg, a thorough reactionary, and in pari they were not deceived. No man had more of the feelingof kingship or the pride than Victor Emmanuel, and no man more confidence in hi.- own right to rule. He compelled his Parlia ment to sign the peace which saved Piedmont; he quarreled in the very cri sis of his career, with Cavour, because the great Minister made a remark which the Kig considered derogatory to his house; he refused the throne of the Pen insula if he were to be called "King of the Italians;" and he would often aver to the last, that it was "hard work to guide his political team." He was, in fact, by temperament, a kinir of the old type, but he had acquired, either from some teaching of his father, or the cir cumstances of his own history, an ab solute conviction that, to carry his fa ther's policv to success, and rear the throne his father had designed, he must be a constitutional king, and from that resolve he never swerved. His Austrian relatives implored and threatened him to give up "the Statuto; the priests whom he, as a dissolute and supersti tious man, greatly feared menaced him with every spiritual suffering; his closest female kinsfolk declared the in cessant deaths in his house a judgment from heaven: but the proud, hot-tempered, bull-headed soldier never swerv ed from the word he had given. He would keep the constitution as his father had sworn, and maintain his father's cause, and all Italy in one twelvemonth recognized that he was faithful, and fell at the feet of the only Italian prince who could be trusted. Before he had won a province every Italian city used periodically to be pla carded with "Viva Verdi," the name of the composer containing the initials of "Victorio Emmanuel, lie d'ltalia," and in every advance his troops had behind them the army of the people Specta tor. Chinese Money. The Chinese probably illustrate in the most extreme manner the length to which loose views concerning currency can be carried. The historr-of- then currency presents that mingling of the grotesque with the tragic which most of their actions have when viewed thro' western eyes. Coined money was used among them as earl' as the eleventh century before Christ, but their inabil ity to comprehend the principles upon which a currency should be based has led them into all sorts of extravagances which have been attended by disorder, famine and bloodshed! Coins came at last to be made so thin that 1,000 of them piled together were only three inches high; then gold and silver were abandoned; and copper, tin, shells, pa per, skins and stones were given a fixed value and used until, bv abuse, all the advantages to bo deriveU from the use of money were lost, and there was nothing left for the people to do but to go back to the barter, and this thev did more than once. They cannot be said now to have a coinage;" 2,900 vears ago they made round coins with'a square hole in the middle, and thev have made no advance beyond that since. The well-known "cash" is a cast-brass coin of that description, and, although it is valued at about one mill and a-half of our money, and has to bestrung in lots of 1,000 to be computed with any ease, it is the sole measure of value and legal tender of the country. Spanish, Mexi can, and our new trade-dollars are em ployed in China; they pass beeause they are necessary for larger operations and because faith in their standard value has become established; but they are current only as stamped ingots, with their weight and fineness indicated.

The robbers the two we saw were men of good address, and executed the robbery skillfully. They attempted to disguise, except the boss, who evidently thought I knew him: to the others he was unreserved. They talked among themselves, from which we learned that another party were to rob the down coach and that 1 theywercinsupporlingdistan.ee. When they commenced cutting the mail pairs open I made an appeal to them, stating that they would hardly find any money in registered letters going up into the country. They cut two, however, and topped, putting all the mail back. They asked about the paymaster. A short tine after they got there the lights of the down coach came in view. They told us we could get in the coach and not to make any noise or strike a light, and if we did they would fire n us. The down coach tumbled along in a few minutes and we got back on the road and came along. Before we left the boss said : "You may tell the Mayn ard people Dick Dublin has come back to stay awhile." The robbery will not net more than three hundred dollars in money, arms and jewelry. My first sensation was that of a bad dream, which soon vanished before a humili ating and outrageous reali y. I was struck with their coolness and audacity. One thing seemed singular,thev declin ed to touch us personally, that, is, to put hands on us in any way. They fre quently threatened to kill us if they caught us in a lie, but never made any personal search. A little less than a year ago the stage was robbed on the very spot where we were robbed. Then, and in this last, the intention was to rob the United States paymaster. I was impressed with the terrible earn estness with which the' acted, some thing like that of an executioner when he executes the penalty of death. I understand that they did not rob the down stage. This is strange. I can only account for it on the theory that they found they would not get anything but arms, with probably some jewelry and a little money. The Whipping Post as an Economic Measure. Yesterday afternoon about 3 (('clock. Marietta street, in the neighborhood of Dedive's Opera House, was aroused at the spectacle of a negro man mounting a dry goods box in the street and launching off into a fiery oration to a meagre audience of seventeen people, carefully counted. This orator was Stephen McCorkle, the colored advocate of the whipping post, who hails from North Carolina, and who came here for the purpose of converting colored men to his faith and securing delegates to a convention at Charlotte in September, to advocate the re-establishment of the whipping post as a punishment for crime. lie was announced to speak at the State Capitol, but this was impossible, for the flooring of the hall of the House of Representatives is undergoing re pairs. In lieu of that he took to the streets, and, like all new apostles, preached to the people upon the high ways. It did not take him long to at tract a large crowd, about equally di vided between whites and blacks. He spoke in front of the opera house, and by his rude eloquence made his theme attractive to the bystanders. He has a good voice and some Very "sens ible ideas, to which he gives expression boldly and forcibly. He started out by announcing his de sire to benefit his race and seeing them living in happiness and contentment. He spoke of the prevalence of idleness among them, and declared this sloth to be the parent of crime. Under exist ing laws they are subject to penalties for crime, which are excessively op pressive to them. Where the white man, convicted of the same offense as a J black man, can pay a fine, he does so and goes free. The negro cannot pay the line, and must go to the chain-gang. The alternative punishment does the negro no good. He hasn't the money to make it operative as to him. The remedy for this was to re-establish the whipping-post for petty offenses. "Hit dat nigger wid a brick !" ex claimed a surly looking old darkey in the crowd. "Look heah, man," said the orator, "you jest shet up. I interfere wid no man, an' I 'lows no man tcr interfere wid me. I'm 'spressin' my sentiments az I hez er right ter do. Ef jxhi wants ennything outen me, wait tell I gits offen dis box an' you kin hab it." This exhibition of pluck brought out a round of applause from the auditors, and after that the speaker proceeded without interruption. McCorkle went on to show by statis tics the number of people in the vari ous Penitentiaries of the South, and that negroes are the chief sufferers from this course of punishment. He argued that economy to the State and the best interests of the colored race. whose labor was now all free, competi tive labor demanded a modification of thisystem. - . In his advocacy of the wh,pp,ng-pot he met every objection that he had heard made to iiand declared that the happiest day yet to come for th negro T would te when tie coum nugine po-i ami u&ku ma tiiifcuim , .. tisieaii 01 go ng i w.e c ,a.u.g.iK. , , . . , : 1. ..i.t v i.:.... .: ...,.. e:.rwui nwwo, '"P " ....-. and getting a thousand lashes.

I is one of iho-o ancient, nlmost poetic habit of society, which disappear w ith the in crease of travel. It occurred to me sev eral time, on entering a cafe in either of the two cities I haie mentioned, tkat on calling the waiter to pay him for the chocolate, or ice. or whatever else I might have ordered, he replied "It is paid already, senor." "hut who paid ; ..,. ..,.-,. . ;". it? was inv natural question. Ihe ivariablv. ! don't ' .M. . f. w .. If I then smd. "Show me which gentleman it va." he alwavs answered. "He has o away." It ua simply an ancient cus tom, which suggested the retinitted and noble hospiutluv of the Arab race. Some native gentleman hud perceived J that 1 was a foreigner, ami had him self paid mv bill :vs a welcome to Spain In order that I might feel no obligation. 1 was not allowed to know him. and the waiter answered me in accordance with this ancient and sacred rule. I have never found, anywhere i'Uc in the 1 world, a courtesy o generous and del icate. The Oriental habit of saving. "Mv house is yours." or "at your disjoaI." ' is retained in spain: and. of course, it . must not be taken too literally. So is the universal custom among the peo- pie, high and low, of never sitting , down to eat without inviting all who may be accidentally present to partake of the cheer. The conventional answer is "Man thanks: may it be good pro vision for vou!" yet if any oue.t (trough I ignorance or pressing need, should ac cept, he would certainly receive his share.

This is not a men- matter of os tentatiou with the Spanish people, or they would not take such pains to con ceal their hospitality. It is an inherit ed habit, which has almost lv force of a religious duty. In strict connection therewitn. anoth er custom prevails, which I first learned in Andalusia. I had hired a hore in Oranada. for the journey to Gibraltar by way of Malaga and Konda. and this included a second horse, with a uio.o -groom, guide, companion and servant, in one.
