had beoa mowing grass In the yardj

B forward to meet me.

He then Invited me Into the house , t
and just as we had reached thehewed >
log steps a girl , flirting her apron
and following a hen and chickens ,
came round the corner of the house.
She blushed when she saw me , dropped
her apron , and I thought was about
to run away , when her father said :
"HuiTy up thar , Zudie , an' git
them chickens In the hen-house , or
they'll be drowned. Come in , mister.
It would be a leetle mo' comf t'ble
out here on thepo'ch , butez the rain
is drivin' thiser way we better set in
this room. "
He led the way Into a room dark
ened by the approaching cloud , and
pointing to an old-fashioned arm
chair , saidi "Set right down thar
and make yo'se'f ez much at homeez
if you'd fotch' that cheer with you.

all my life. "Wife she died two years
, ago. Thar's the rain. "
The girl bounded into the room.
She shook the rain drops from her
beautiful wealth of hair" and sat
down near the window. Her face
hone in bright outlines against the
darkened panes , and when she smiled
* at some remark her father made and
revealed , with a sudden gleam , her
I pearl-like teeth , I fancied that a fleck
of silver had been thro wn against the
cloud. I hesitate to acknowledge
that I fell in love with her at that

i we should be influenced by judgment

but before I could make nny kind of
a reply the old man remarked :

"Why , papa , how you talk. "
The old man snickered. "Used ter

her ter er big big oh , one uv them

it's papa. Look here , Zudie , ez ther

up a bit < > ter eat , fur now that it's
sot in i * : looks like this rain inout bo
goin' Ler stay with us some little
time. * '
I protested that I didn't care for
anthing to eat , but in a moment
th girl had vanished.
"Mebbe you thinkshekain'tcook , "
said the old man , "but I jest wanter
tell you that she ken. Gals ain 't
raised like they wuz before the war.
Then a gal that could cook a good
meal of vidults wuz sniffed at , but it
ain't thater way now. "
After a while the girl came in and
announced that the meal was ready.
"Thar's soap an' water ef you
wanter wash , " said the old man. I
went to a washstaud and in attempt
ing to take up a piece of soap over
turned the dish. Instantly the fol
lowing inscription caught my glance :
"John Norton , July 4 , 1803. " It
was the shell of the terrapin that I
had found under the sullen brow of
Yicksburg twenty-three years before.
I took up the shell , and pointing to the
inscription explained its origin. The
girl , who stood in the doorway ,
gazed with brightening eyes upon me ,
and when I had concluded she said :
"I have also a little stoiy to tell.
Uut come and let us sit down to tha
table. "
AVhen the girl had poured the coffee
and while , it seemed to me , a shade of
tender recollection was passing over
her face , she turned to me withau at
tention charming because it was un
divided , and thus began her story :
"When I was a little girl about ten
years of age I was plaj'ing in the
yard one day , when I found a terra
pin crawling through the grass. The
lettering on its back , though I could
hardly spell out the inscription , at
once claimed my interest , and I
brought the terrapin into the house.
Mother read the inscription and ex
plained it to me. Papa wanted me
to throw the 'lazy thing' over the
fence , but I insisted upon making a
pet of it. I kept it in a box and fed
it every day. After awhile we let it
stay out in the room , and though
this may seem incredible , it soon
learned to answer , in a sort of play
ful way , when we called it by your
name. "We kept it nearly five years ,
and it would have doubtless been
alive to-day for you know terrapins
never die of old age had it not been
for a cruel tragedy.
"One day the terrapin was crawl
ing about the room in great enjoy
ment of its after-breakfast stroll. The
cat was lying on the hearth asleep.
The 'Fourth , ' as we often termed our
pet , had made friends with every
thing on the place and often played
with the cat , but on this day pussy
was morose with a recurrence of all
the meanness she had inherited , and
when the terrapin approached her
she quickly seized its head with her
claws , and then before we could do
anything she chewed its head off.
Fapa or dad , as he was then , " she
added , with a trembling light in her
eyes "had become so much attached
to the terrapin that in revenge he
shot the cat. A few days afterwards
I fonud poor 'Fourth's' shell on the
washstand in place of a cracked sau
cer that Ave had used for a soap dish.
My story is ended. "
We sat for more than an hour and
speculated upon the many and de
vious miles the terrapin had crawled
since I had made its acquaintance.
AVhen I took my leave , which I did
when the rain had ceased falling I
promised to call again at the house
of Mr. Craig ( for such was his name ) ,
but I hardly think that the promise
was necessary , for Zudie's beautiful
face went back to town with me. I
was kept so busy that I did not see
my friends again until more than a
month had passed. Then I called
and spent an all too brief , but to me
a thrilling , season. My visits be
came more frequent they could not
become fewer. "Winter came and we
walked beneath the leafless trees. We
sat by the roaring log fire and saw
the old man dozing in a corner. Well ,
we are to be married on the 4th of next
July. The terrapin shell , orna
mented with silver and gold , shall be
a wedding present to my wife. Opie

Some Unnecessary Importations.
It certainly seems strange that this
agricultural country , full not only of
farmers but of villagers who rejoice
in the presence of the festive hen in
gardening time , should import eggs.
But it is a fact that it does. The
j
fiscal year which has just ended saw
nearly 15,000,000 dozen eggs im- j
ported into the United States , and
'
"
between § 2,000,000 and § 3,00"0.000
sent out of the country to buy eggs
alone. Since 1SS0 there has not
been a year in which there has not
been over § 1,000,000 sent abroad to
buy eggs for the market of this coun
try , and in the last decade the sum
so sent out of the country was about
§ 20,000,000. But the importation
of eggs is notthe only curious feature
of the craze for going abroad for
what might be had at home. There
is the article of potatoes , for instance. '
Although there is iio end to the pos-
sibOitfes and practicabilities ofprc - j
duction in this country the importa
tions of potatoes in the last year
have amounted to about § 4,000,000
in value. There is barley , which it
seems as though the farming com
munity might supply. There was
over § 8,000,000 worth of it imported
in the fiscal year just ended. There
is cotton goods. The East and South I
are alive with cotton factories , yet
the importations in the yea ? were
nearly § 30,000,000. Milwau. ee Sen

A Forgotten Hero.
Tho United States Senate is now
considering a bill to appropriate
§ 25,000 for tho purpose of erecting a
monument of General George Rogers
Clarke , ono of tho heroes of the pio
neer days of the Northwest Territory.
Michigan was once a part of the
Northwest Territory , which was cre
ated by tho ordinance of 1787 , and
consequently its peoj P have a re
mote interest in thelraisure.
General Clarkoji irginian by
birth. Ho had a lgeneral ed
ucation , but b j } | Practical sur
veyor. He went A.etucky when
he was twenty-f6ii-j\eara of age. He
attended the convention ' of Virginia
as the delegate from , .Kentucky and
while urging upon the Government
of that state the creation of the new
county of Kentucky and the shipping
there of several hundred pounds of
powder for its defence , he uttered the
words which had become famous : "A
country not worth defending is not
worth claiming. " Clarke got the
powder , repelled the Indians from
Kentucky and then elaborated a
campaign for the conquest of Illinois.
A few hundred men were given him
by Governor Patrick Henry of Vir
ginia. With these men he crossed the
Alleghnnies , captured Kasakia and
took all the other British posts on
tho Ohio river. This was in 1778.
Without any serious loss and with
one blow he planted the American
colors on the banks of the Mississippi.
Tho English Governor Hamilton
was then located at Detroit. The
success of General Clarke alarmed
him , and in December , 1798 , Gover
nor Hamilton retook Vincennes on
the Wabash. Clarke , when he heard
of the Governor's victory , said : "I
must take Hamilton or he will take
me. " "With 150 ragged but brave
heroes lie appeared before Vincennes
in February , 1779 , and captured the
Governor and his garrison. He was
only twenty-six years of age at this
time.
John Randolph once referred to
General Clarke as the young Hanni
bal of the west. Eow he is well-nigh
forgotten. For his courageous ef
forts he surely deserves some endur
ing memorial.

Materialism in America.
Dr. Lymnn Abbott in tho Century.
I do not ask that men of wealth
shall give more money to the church ,
which is often stronger when it is
poor than when it is rich ; nor to the
poor and thriftless , whom unearned
money only keep in poverty , lurge
that the power to make money , like
any other power , is a trust bestowed
ou the possessor for humanity. The
preacher who preaches for his salary ,
not for the spiritual well-being of his
parishioners , is a mercenary ; the
physician who practices for his fees ,
not to cure the sick , is a mercenary ;
the lawyer who pleads for his honor
arium , not for justice , is a mercenary ;
the politician who enacts laws for
what he can make , not for the com
munity , is a mercenary ; no less the
manufacturer , the merchant , the
trader , the man on 'change , who
transacts his business to make money ,
but to give the community its meat
in due season , is a mercenary. In the
history of the nineteenth century , the
doctrine that wealth is a trust must
stand by the side of the doctrine that
labor is an honor and liberty is an
obedience. The materialism that
threatens the American Church is not
the materialism of Herbert Spencer.
It is the materialism of the railroad ,
the factory , the shop the material
ism that puts thinghood above man
hood ; thatdoes notknowthat things
were made for man , not man for
things that God gives us , not Irish
men to build our railroads , but rail
roads to build Irishmen ; notHungari-
ans to dig our mines , but mines to
develop manhood in Hungarians.

He Was "Awfully Mce.
In the morning a party of St.Pau %
Minneapolis and Milwaukee people ,
about 100 in all , hired a train , went
up to Windsor and thence up the
Thames in steam launches. They
were a merry crowd. "When the train
reached Windsor the party strolled
through the parks surrounding the
castle , laughing and singing , much
to the amazement of the simple vil
lagers and awe stricken attendants.
Haifa dozen pretty western girls were
romping ahead of the main party at
the foot of the castle wall when they
suddenly came upon a tall , military
looking young man in riding costume ,
carrying a big bunch of primroses and
wild flowers.
"Oh , what pretty flowers ! " cried
one of the misses. ' 'Where do you
get them , sir ? " she asked , looking in
quiringly at the young man , her face
betraying not the slightest sign of
embarrassment.
"I picked them over there , " and
the one addressed , pointing to an in-
closure with his riding whip. "But
you couldn't reach them becs > use
that's private property. Suppose
you take these. Icangetsomemore. "
He handed over the entire bunch ,
lifted his hat politely and walked
back for more flowers , " but they
dWn't know he was Prince Henry of
Battenberg , the queen's son-in-law ,
who , as a matter of duty , religiously
picks wild flowers for her majesty
every day. London Cor. New York

John Brown , who probably receiv
ed more presents than any other
menial in the history ol the English
Court , was shrewd enough to antici
pate the embarrasement which would
be caused to his friends if he diedpos-
'sessiBg'tne giftsthemselves j so it seas
the prudent custom of that domestic
to sell nearly everything that he re
ceived within a few weeks. John
Brown was constantly being com
plimented with costly gifts , but he
wisely preferred to possess their value
in cash , and in several cases the Bond
street jeweler who had sold the pres
ent to the Royal donor , bought it
back within a short time from the
recipient at very nearly the cost
price.

Jlnnnrr * .
Berlin Gazette : The American
gentleman of high social position is ,
as a rule , thoroughly polite and con
siderate in his manners. An English
gentleman of the same class is infin
itely ruder when he wants to be , al
though no one can be more elegant
when the humor suits him. An Eng
lishman considers that whatever he
does is right ; the fact that he does it
makes it right.
Americans are modest in this mnt-
ter. and are willing to govern them
selves by certain rules of polite so
ciety. Englishmen draw lines , and
except every other nationality to re
spect them. For example , I heard
an Englishman say the other day
that he told the landlord of the hotel
at which he was stopping that he
would leave the place if a certain
common fellow , who happened to be
among the boarders , continued to
come to the table in his shirt sleeves
don't wonder thab the Englishman
was indignant , and I am quite sure
that tho man who pulled off his coat
wrhen he sat down to the
tabte was uncompromisingly
vulgar ; but this same En
glishman pulled off his own coat and
sat down in a chair on the front
piazza of the hotel. When some one
remarked to him that he did not
seem to appreciate the difference be
tween tweedledum and tweedledee ,
he seemed much astonished , for he
thought the difference was strongly
marked.
In England , he said , a gentleman
would sit in his own front yard in
his shirt sleeves , but as soon as he
went inside the house he would put
his coat on. Novan American
gentleman might go around his
house in his shirt sleeves , but he cer
tainly would not be seen outside the
door in such undress. But I think
there is a difference oven in the mat
ter of shirt sleeves. I do not mind
seeing a man on his piazza , or on his
own lawn , in his shirt sleeves ; but T
think there is nothing in the world
uglier than to see a man with his
waistcoat on , but without , a coat ,
unless it be without a waistcoat if he
wears suspenders.
If he does not wear suspenders the
costume is rather picturesque , par
ticularly if he wears a silk scarf about
his waist , a costume that is becom
ing quite popular in New York dur
ing the summer. If you will go down
to Wall street you will see every var
iety of silk scarfs around the waists
of youthful brokers. Those who
don't wear scarfs wear wide belts ,
some of them six or seven inches in
width. The belt or the scarf adds a
finish to the ugliest part of a man's ,
and makes it look almost like an
Oriental costume.
But to return to the Englishman ' s
manners. I have heard anecdotes
that it would seem almost impossible
to believe , illustrative of the rudeness
of the English gentlefolk. I have
never been able to make up my mind
whether this rudeness of speech comes
from an intention to be rude or
merely from plain speaking ! I heard
a foreigner , not an Englishman , say
at a lady's table that he would take
some more of the soup because he
knew that it was good , and he did
not know whether * the din
ner that followed would be ;
when he had a good thing he
wanted to make sure of it. His wife
expostulated with him in a playful
way , but he replied indignantly that
he was not a hypocritethat he was
simply honest. I sometimes think
that this is the motive that impels
some English people to say the un
pleasant things that they are so fond
of saying.
And yet when an Englishman says
a rude thing he does not say it with
the brutality of an American. It is
never accompanied with profanity.
Indeed , profanity is i peculiarity of
the American climate. I heard an
Englishman say not long ago that
the reason he liked to be associated
with a certain man in business , al
though that man was not prompt in
paying him his salary , was that he
al ways spoke to him as a gentleman
and never swore at him. Another
man , who offered him a better posi
tion , he hesitated to go with , because
he peppered his conversation with
oaths. Not that the Englishman was
such a tenderfoot , but he did not like
such rough language. He said that
it irritated himto have a man say
to him , even though he meant to be
perfectly amiable. "Where the
have you been all this time ? " It
was a form of greeting , which , while
intended to be cordial , was unpleas
ant. He did not deny that English
men swore , but he said he never
heard oaths among the same class ,
of Englishmen as were used by
Americans of the same class.
Of course , you do not expect to
hear a woman use profane express
ions , but an English woman will not
use any of the violent words that
even an American lady has in her
vocabulary. You may offend an
English woman to the last point of
her endui ance , but she will only be
"vexed , " or under unusually strong
emotion , "very vexed. " I notice
that the young Americans whose
lives are devoted to imitating En
glish manners are soft spoken , and
their great aim seems to be self-sup
pression. They consider it bad form
to show any emotion at all , either of
pleasure or pain.
He Didn't Mop.
In case of assault and battery in
the police court the other day the
plantiff was asked :
"How came the defendant to strike
youMj .
" "Whyjlhe just' . .sioppedasjwe were ,
passing and hit me. "
"There was no provocation ? "
"Not the slightest. "
"Youhad't said anything ? "
"Why , yes. " •
" 0 , you had ? "What had you
said ? "
"I told him that I could mop the
earth with him , but had been careful
not to use provoking language. "

tion of the nasal passage * , discharges fall
ing from tbe head into tho throat , some
times profuse , watery , and acrid , at oth
ers , thick , tenacious , mucous , purulent ,
bloody and putrid ; if tbe eyes aro weak ,
watery and inflamed ; if there is ringing in
tho ears , deafness , hacking or coughing to
clear tho throat , expectoration of offensive
matter , together with scabs from ulcers ;
tbe voice being changed and has a nasal
twang ; tho breath offensive ; smell and
taste impaired ; sensation of dizziness ,
with mental depression , a hacking cough
and general debility , you are hufferingfroin
nasal catarrh. The more complicated
your disease , the greater the number and
diversity of syinptoins. Thousands of
cases annually , without mnnifcstin hnlf of

tion and end in tho grave. No disease is
so common , more deceptive and danger
ous , or less understood , or more unsuccess
fully treated by physicians.
