"Go on, Uncle Ren." canio from pvcry side; and Uncle Ren, you may horsurc, waited for no second invita tion. It was tints his story ran: 41 When 1'cggy there was Peggy White, and turned of eighteen, there wn'n't her match for goods looks 'itliin a range o' twenty mild. You needn't frown, an' shako your head, Peggy: 3-011' d 'a liked to hear then. it well enough "Peggy was left an orphan while very young; but an uncle, as had sonic properly an' no children, tuck her home an' brung her up, an1 when he died left her nil he had. ' It war' n't thai, let me say, as made 1110 take a notion to Pegg3. I've jest told.3'ou how han'some she was; but even eft lind been her money I was after, I'd precious little chance of ever gcttiu' it, for bj'her uncle's will, cf she married 'ithout the consent o' Josh' way Sprcckle, her guardcen, she lost all; and there was about as much prospect of JoIi Spreckle conscntin' to her mar ryin' me as there was of his doin' an other good-natur'd thing. " 'cofO',u me'd talked the thing over, an' come to an uiulerstandin' that as soon as I'd scraped together enough for a start, we'd hitch teams for bet ter or wtiss, 'ithout ain' Mr. Sprec klc's leave, let the money go where it mout. One da-1 had to take a trip to a ncighborin' settlement. The countn was new ami wild then, an' my way laid through the woods. As tho weather was hot an' 1113- walk to be a long one, I did'nt keer to kern- more weight' n necessary, an' so left 1113 rille al home, 4Arter trudgin' a spell I got into a deep thicket, an' poot- soou I hcarn loud hollcrin' as of somebod3- callin' for help. 44 1 made for the sound, an' afore long come to the edge of a deep gulch 'ith steep walls o' rock on botli sides, an' a ragm' stream dashin' along at tho bottom. 44 On t'other side, up in the crotch of a tree, sot a man shoutin' murder,1 's loud as he could screech; an' on tho f 'round below a big bear, squatlin' on lis ha'nehes, was lookin' up an' lickin' his lips mighty wishful like. 44 Hello!' sa3-s 1 'what's tho mat ter?' "The man turned his head, an' lo'n behold, who should it be but Josh' way Sprcckle! 'Good mornin'. Squire,' says I. Josh' way, you see, 'd been lately 'lectcd Jcstice o' the Peace, an' liked bein' called b3 his 1100 title. " 4 Good mornin'. Ucnjamin,' sa3s he; 4 I'm ever so much glad to see 3'ou.' An' for the fust time in his life he looked' s cf he r'aly was. 4 You seem to bo in a poot' tight place. Squire,' says I. "I m,' says he. 4Iwent out hunt in' this mornin', an' all of a suddent that devoarin' monster 3'ou sec there come rushin' at me full split out o' tho bushes. 1 tips an' blazes awa but hcvin' no time for a stidity aim, made a clean miss, an' the savage critter conic tearin' on maddcr'n afore. Of course 1 had to run fo't, an' arter a sharp race bareby succeeded in scrab blin' up here.1 44 1 must confess I felt consid'rablo much like remainin' nootral. How sever, says I at last: "What kin I do for 3-011. Squire? You see I've got no gim.' " 'There's a 3'oung tree over there,1 Fays he, 4lcanir? over the gulch from j-our side. You kin climb up into it, Cm' let 3'ourself drap over here. My tun's but a little ways back 3'ondcr, an' I kin throw you my powder-horn an' lullet-pouch, an' 3011 Kin load up an' . Jhoot the bear with no trouble at all.' 44 'An' what'll the boar be doin1 all .the while?' says I. 'He's a lookin' at me from the tail of his eye this minnit, an' I'm afcard ef I drap over thero it'll be plump into his jaws. There's only one tiling to do,' says I, 4an' that's to go'n fetch my rille an' shoot the var ment from over here.1 I guess that's so,' says he; 'but don't bo eono long. The desp'rit brute's made two or three attempts to i-hin up hero a' read, an' there's no knowin' how soon he ma succeed.'' 'There's one thing I'd like to men tion afore goin'. Squire,' says I. ' Pvo 'had it on ni3' mind for some time.1 " 4 What's that?' sa3s he.

It was rnorc'n a minnit afore lie spoke. I seed there was a powerful in'ard struggle goin' on. Ev'rybody knowed Josh' way Sprcckle' d sot his heart on marryin' Pegg3 to a nephew v of his'n, so's to keep licr money in the ' family; an' I've no doubt he was do batin', jest then, whether to tell me to go to Old Scratch, takin' his own chances of tirin' out the bear's patienco, or to buy 1113' help with fair promises. Now Josh' way was a prudent man, an' a strict believer in the doctrine of self preesarvation. So'tlast says he: 44 4AIr. Hunter, Pve long "had my eye on j'ou as a suitable match for Peggy.' rd more'n wunst hearn Josh' way Spreckle pronounced by good judges to be the ablest liar in the Territ'ry, but that whopper fairly tuck away my breath. 44 'Then I've got your consent,' says I, har'ly darin' to believe my ears.

Fashionable Colors. The passion for- Moorish and Persian colors issnow at its height, and wonder ful results are produced by manufactur ers of fabrics by the peculiar methods)! blending hues and the throwing of one tint oyer another, creating liimiuou? lights, as in the golden c:ist over blue, green or cardinal, " a coup de solicit or red over olive and bronze, called 44 flame reflection;" silver over light blue, "moonlight;" steel over spring leaf green, a gossamer sheen," all very beautiful ami fashionable. There, is something almost enchanting about these rare blcndings and changeiul lus ters, but now and then one is startled by striking com bi nations and clashes" of coloring., not in the bold strokes of the Japanese paint-brush so much as in the French method of using a color of one tone with another hue, shaded with the tone of coloring in the combination, as in a dress of plush and satin; the.iatiu is cardinal with a tinge of olive, and the plush portions arc m olive shaded with cardinal. A most striking reception-drcs is al black and moire antique, with the addi tion of moonlight "blue in squares and diamonds. The front skirt is a mass ol plaitings of the moire antique from waist line down to lower edge. The satin train is long ami square, with finishing of, rose ydaitings of moire, which trimming is carried up at the. sides to meet the edge of corsage basque and is passed under the dia monds of blue satin let in, tho lower edge being completed with a quilling of handsome lace. Rlue satin square?, rather smaller in size than those on the basque skirt, from the outsides of the quaint sleeves and a larger-shaped piece tills in tho square or Pompadour neck. That part is bordered and stud ded with Marguerites, and frills of rose point lace the dress at throat and at the wrists. A rather complicated dress is of vel vet moire and .-atin. The front oi skirt is of moire and satin in alternating clusters of tiny knife-plaitings, the corsage vest being en suite, only the plaits arc still smaller than those on the skirL The very long train is ot black volvet. which rich fabric also forms the jacket worn open over the plaited vest! High inedino collar and sleeves after the same period are both edired with a plaiting of costly Duchesse lsee. That black is popular this season fot evening as well as da- wear is a fact, and very convenient theso black toil ettes arc. for the3' can be made bright b3 the addition of coloring in flowers and ribbons, and rich with laces. Avery costlj costume is made of watered silk, with long train, trimmed with a knife edgo ' of satin and rose quilling o! moire. The corsage is princess in the back with pointed basque front, and the sleeves are puffed at tho tops and fitted below tiie elbows in Marguerite st3-le. The front of skirt is of handsome satin, shirred at waist-line, with plait ings below down to edge, which is fin ished with knifo plaiting. Over the front of the skirt a scarf of moire, bor dered with a rich fretted passemente rie, and edged with jet and sowing-silk fringe, is passed diagonally, and tho sides of the train falling over the front width are decorated with tho rich passementerie and falls of jet beads the lace on neck and sleeves iu old English point. A very quaint dinner dress is of hand some salin in a light golden brown, with damask flowers in Moorish tints and a rich, dark brown velvet. Tho short skirt shows front and sides ar ranged in three rows of box-plaits, with paiiler overdress, above, handsomely garnished on corsage and loopings, with beaded passementerie ornaments in the Moorish colors of tho floral fig ures on the brocaded satin of the skirt, neck and sleeves finished with falls and jabots of Point Venice lace. Phila delphia Times. , " A Rad Medicine Man. The following is related by an army oflicer who witnessed the occurrence- A clerk in the Agency store at Fort Reno, in the Indian Territory, a short time before the last total eclipse of tho sun. informed the Indians that on a certain da- (naming that on which the eclipse would take place) he would proceed to put out the sun, and if they would assemble at that time, they could witness the performance. The Indians professed not to believe what he said, but he assured them he would certain ly do all ho promised, and iwhon the day arrived, it brought a large number of "the noble red men to witness the sun's extinction. A few minutes be fore thatimofixed by the astronomers for the observation to begin, the wag mounted himself on an empty sugar hogshead :uid began his incantation. Presently the sun began to disappear, and the "sons of the forest" evinced, unmistakable signs of uneasiness, which increased as the performance' pro gressed, until, a short t;mo beforcfthe sun disappeared entirely, they rushed upon the magician, exclaiming: "Rad medicine man! pat out sun!" and would have dispatched him in short order had they not been restrained by tho soldiers who had gathered to see the-'fun.

Minor ill effects are produced upon the mu-eles of the legs, and the flat part of the foot, which is forced to .support more than it ought. The toes and the large joint become distorted, corns and bunions begin to form, and tho foundation is laid for a great deal of suffering in the future, as W 1211 fc3 1U1 AUOi&u .ll3. A. iJllfrj'WFOU that a r lady whom I, saw last summer ma'bc taken as a-'goncral exemplifica tion of a great mairy mothers. She had iuonoy;aud .plentyor,wit, and, in the main, 'excellent sense.-" She hail two beautiful 3'oung daughters of thirteen and fifteen beautitul, except . thatt neither had beautiful feet. Those members had been atufl'od ntjyrrlojiv soled, narrow-heeled, narrow-toed, high-licclcd sbocvuutil the feet were shockingly defnrrued.--fc Tho father of the girls was a large shoe-dealer. His son's feet were veiy finely shaped, lie wore broad-soled, broad-toed, low heeled shoes,. Why the feet jof the 'daughters had not bo"eH "allowed an "equal chance in the world'-with those of the son I couldn't well make out. One of the girls was wearing shoulder braces to make her straight, and one da as tho mother was deploring the child's round shoulders, I ventured to sa3' that I thought low-heeled shoes would be better for her. " I quite agree with 3-011," exclaimed the mother. 44 The girls wear too high heels all the time, but somehow we neglect liaving the heels cut off. Rut it must by. done." Whether the cutting-down 'process has begun 1 don't know, but I thought if those girls were under my control not tweiii3"-four hours would pass before their feet went into "common-sense" shoes. Tn'o class of pcoplo are qu'ckcr to re spond to the demands of the public than are manufacturers, and if birj'ors demand a certain sort of shoe they will very soon get it. It is possible that in a great inany country towns low-hecl-od, broad-soled .shoes cannot so readily be had as the reverse. Rut the high heel can always be lowered by having tlie shoe dealer cut oil' several layers of leather. lie never likes to do it, and will tr3' to convince you that the heel is none too high, etc.. etc. Rut if 3-011 in sist upon it he will cut the heel down to suit you sooner than lose 3-our cus tom. That children with crooked and bow-legs, turned-over ankles and other weaknesses of feet and legs so abound among the lower classes is not at all to be wondered at when one considers Iho extremely' bad way in which U103 are usualU;- shod. Mr. Reecher not long ago put into a pr.-ryer this sentence: Lord, help us to be patient with the ignorance of others." To combat ignor ance is, beyond all doubt, the most diflicultnnd tr3ing thing humanitarians have to encounter. Rut I believe that as much harm results from procrastina tion and carelessness and a lack of energy in instituting reforms where in telligence exists as from ignorance. If people would 01113- do as we'l as they know, the world would take a long leap ahead. High heels ami narrow soles arc almost as bad as the Chinese method of compression. The dwarf King of France who brought them into fashion to increase his apparent stature prob ably never dreamed how many fools there were adown the generations of time to imitate his example. The beauty of any member of the bod3 con sists in its outline its shapeliness and proporttomte si.e, instead of its little ness. A small foot, or hand, is only comely in connection with a small per son, while aii3" part of the body that has been made small by compression is sim ply vulgar. Freedom is as necessatyto beauty as purity, and there is no free dom where nature is being cruclh violated, as she maintains her rights most brave'3, and when overpowered leaves in her train a line of woes full of torture and humiliation.

We had a private circus at our hoifse last night at least .that's what father called it, and he setnied to enjoy it It happened" ih t Ms way.

It asgrowing rmite dark when I we"nt in and going toward the sofa, I happened to walk against arockingrckair that was rock- inr"all by itself, whicli, 'come to think 01 it, was a curious thing, and I m 'go ing to ask somebody about it. I didn't mind walking mto -the chair, for it didn'tliurt jutimuch, only I knocked it over, and it hit Sue, and she said- "Oh niy, get ma something quiek!7 and then fainted awa. Mr. 'Praters was dread fully frightened,-nnd said, "Run, Jim my, and, get tjic eologue, or tho bay rum, or something.1" So I ran up to Sae's room, and felt round in the dark for her bottle Of cologne that she al ways keeps on her bureau. I found a bottle after a minute' or two. and ran down and gave it to Mr. Travers, and he bathed Sue's face as well as he could in the dark, and she came to ami said: 44 Do 3'ou want to put my eyes out?" Just then the front-door bell rang, and Mr. Rradturd (our new "minister) and his wife and three daughters and his son came in: Sue jumped up and ran into the front parlor to light the gas, and Mr. Travers came to help her.

A Serret and a Fortune Roth Well Kept. The inborn proclivit3' qf the female sex to gossip and make trouble by knowing too much of other people's af fairs and too little of their owu has given riso to the mosigrown elttr that a woman cannot keep a secret. The t woman who can kuep. a.sooret through j a period of a. -core of yearn, Without so much as allowing her ImsbaiuL to know of it. deserves ejniuently a tablet in thfr slirine of memory, and a few "otiuks" in thu column:- of a newspaper. A re markable aud somewhat romantic case in point has lately come to light. "Many years ago," t,o tho tale begins, there lived a family of the name of RIanco. in Santa Rarbara. Tho family was among the mout inlluentta' and j richest of the old Snanish stock, ami is known all over jlheCsJiiTeT IiortTv aft er the birth of,r,the-mry fanghter Mrs. RIanco was taken -seriously ill and died.

She is said to "Have had a bitter '.struggle of lifo. Hut never, cvotis iu her darkest days, did she turn to the trea-urc in her owu hands U ameliorate her condition and that of 'her family. Her husband was ignorant; until TecVntlv, of the wealth in her possession. Mws Blanco grew up to maidenhood also ignorant ot the lucky windfall in store for her.

Old and 3-011115 persons are oft on sore by troubled br small, hard particles of matter that "get under the eye litis. When children suRer m this wa their parents may not oven suspect the cause of tho trouble. The irritation 111:13' go on increasing for 3'1;ars; for the inllntn million strong resembles catarrhal conjunctivitis, which has quite a differ ent cause. The conjunctiva (ns-thc termination His in mcdioitieyiljvays, means "intlam mation of," conjunctivitis means in tlauimation of the conjuctiva) is a muoous membrane which .begins near the edge of the lids, upper and lower., linas them, and then, turning hack. covers also the eyeball. ,lt" thus-forius. two sacs. It is exceedingly sensitive, and is very liable to .intlammatiou of various kinds, allpaiuful and some ver3 difficult of cure' A foreign body benqath the eyelid soon inflames it." Such a body beneath the upper lid is not as readilv detected as one beneath the lower, and it is hard er to remove it. - A child that" had-long-suffered from what was supposed to be catarrhal in flammation, and for which it had been energetically treated, onr- lo grow worse, was brought to Dr. Rroosa, pro fessor of ophthalmology iu the IS'ew York University. On turning back Ihe child's upper e3-olid, the source of thu trouble was found iu a small bud of a cherry-tree. Relief and cure followed its removal. ., . , In all such eaes-the main thing to dc is to evert. ,the lid. Tho lower lid is casiU turned over the linger. If tho particlo is beneath tlie upper lid. press the lid against the cj-ebrow and have the patient look down- Then seize the eyelashes and edge of the lid and turn the lid quickly over the thumb. Re move the speck with a handkerchief, and show it to the patient; lor he will often feel for sometime as if the object were still in the eye. Youth" s Compan ion. A Fight TsMhJg. Wild-Cat. " A frightful encounter with a wild-bat was had, last night aoout midnight at the Pro fiono Publico saloon, on Mill street, by Charles Raxtcr.

Tlie afc tack was ""so sudden and unexpected that .Charlie was f4aT rfme" overcome. He soon recovered, however, and a terrible conttict ensued in the dark. The -011ng man was not long in realiz ing his desnorate situation. He clutch ed his assailant with both hands in a death-like grip, and commenced as cending the steps. When near the top the animal wrenched itself from- his hold and ran rapidly up the steps into a small apartment in the rear portion of the saloon, known as the lamp-room. Charlie called to- his assistance Taylor Megrue. .and. in a few seconds the "ani mal Ja3' dead on the floor with a bullet burled" in its brain. It proved to be a remarkably large one, anda desperate looking boast even in death.
