Lady Frances Trimston was charm inr. She was also clever, wondertully well preserved, had a natural complex ion, a moderate jointure, a good milli ner, was a widow, and had only ono child a son. She had experienced little care or sorrow, for her husband was an old man when site married him, and he was gathered to his fathers before he be came very disagreeable. He was the younger son of u duke, and moderately well off. Lady Frances's life or, at least, her widowed life had been strewn with roses: and although she could have set tled don u comfortably again, she pre ferred to retain, as she said, her free dom. "It is .so nice to marry an old man; you are a widow quite young, tvou know,''' she murmured to her dear friend, Clare Mellon. "I suppose it is, dear," sighed Clare, whose husband was a young scamp. Few of us are perfectly content with our lot, and Lady Frances had a griev ance that marred sadly her happy but terlly existence. Do what she could, her mu Jack would not marry. "Dear .Jack is so poor and so extrava gant, I wonder what will bo his end?" she sighed. "Ho" will marry a rich girl, of course." said Clare. "It is his duty to do so, as I tell him; but he only laughs at me," sighed Lady Frances. "Where is he now?" "Shooting Indians or buffalos, or pome other wild animals, in America." "When doyou expect him back?" "I'm sure 1 don't know in a month or two, perhaps." Jack Trimston had been out West limiting bullalon, shooting prairie chick ens, racing Mexican mustangs and playing poker with the miners. He had had a pleasant time of it, for he liked America and the Americans, and lie w:is suny to have to return to Eng land. Hut life in America is expensive, and Jack, who had extravagant tastes and a knack of getting through money, had spent in two months the sum lie had calculated would have busted him for four, and lie was in the middle of tho At lantic, ou board an Ionian liner, when his mother told her friend that he was shooting Indians and buffalos. The passengers on hoard were chielly Ameri cans who were going to Europe on aplcas ure trip. There were one or two pretty jirls among them, and Jack, who was a dangerous ladj s man, commenced a hot Hi nation with one of them before he was two das at sea. Katie C. I.rown was a nice girl, and had a pair of soft, brown eyes, that always did great execution when they opened lire and they did now upon Jaek. The l'rown party consisted of three, for. besides Katie C. Urown, there was Mary L. I.rown a tine, honest American girl, with no pretense to beauty, but with a look of strength and character about her homely face aud Samuel Washington Urown, who had made nione in 'Frisco in the good old dariof gold mining and wild saccula tion. He invested apart of it in a sil ver mine in Nevaihi, which turned out a gigantic success, and Samuel was now worth his good live millions of dollars. Jack Trimston was pretty deep in the intricacies of a hard flirtation with Katie C. I.rown before he: heard who Samuel was. It iva his friend (icucral G. Jones who enlightened him. "I guess, stranger, that girl has got a heap." he said. "A heap of u hat?' asked Jack, care lessly. "A heap of dollars. I calculate Sam uel W. ltrnun is worth a million of your money. 1 alwas heard he had only two children daughters. 'Sposo that brown-eed friend of yours will have her half-million of pounds. Jaek Trimston was astonished. 1J Jove! if m mother heard of this fortune she would go' mad," he ejaculated to himself. "Fancy, half a million of money! Ye gods! what fun 1 should have spending it!' The Urown part lauded at Queens town aud went on to Killarney, while Jack came over to London. It" was ar ranged when they parted that the lirowns would write to tell him of their arrival in London, and Jack had prom ised to show them the sights and make things generally pleasant. Lady Trimston was delighted to have her dear Jack back again. He was looking, too. she thought, so handsome and so bronzed. "Any girl would fall in love with him, my dear." she said complacently to her bosom friend, Clare Melton. "He can be very nice wheu he likes," murmured Clare. Jack, who wanted money badly, was very nice just now to his mothci. He described U her his experiences of American girls, and Lady Frances was deeply interested in everything relating to her sex. "They are really pretty and not at all .bad style, but their accent is abomi nable," she sighed, "You get used to it after a time," gafd Jack. "1 kuow such a nice Ameri can girl who will be in London next week." "What is she like, dear?" - Sbe is pretty enough good eyes, good figure, good carriage, good feet; clever, a dangerous flirt, and she will have half a million of money." "Good heavens!" exclaimed Lady Frances, springing to her feet, intensely excited. "Half a million of money! Oh! Jack, what are vou about?" "Why, what "is the matter, mother? You are quite excited.'" "Oh, dear, dear Jack, do be sensible," aid his mother, caressingly. "You knowyou are rery poor, and are always in difficulties. It cannot go on. You must feel this yourself. Now tell me all about the American girl and her family." "Of course I must call on them. When do they como over?" "In a few days, I believe. I said you would look them up, and I think you will like Katie; she is great fun." "And you. Jack, have you any chance, do yon think? I mean" "Chance? I rather think I have," said Jack, interrupting. "Chance, in deed! Why, I have to keep the girl away from ine at the point of my stick." "Now, Jack, dear, do be serious. 1 am so interested in all this. Are you sure about the money?" "I believe it is all right," "And, dear, would you really marry her?" "If it is a case of coming a 'cropper1 or marrying her, I shall select the lat ter," said Jack. Lady Frances was in a flutter of ex citement during the ensuing week. "Fancy, dear, a nice girl with .00. 000," she remarked to Clare Melton. "American girls are quite the mire now; the men are all wild after them.'" said Clare. "We must take caro that dear Jack has plenty of opportunities. It will be shocking if all Ihe men run after her," she answered giaveh. "The best thing ou can do is to give out that Jack is engaged," said Clara. "You can do that for me, dear." "Of course, but yon will have to en tertain and make much of them Amer kali aro mad after society aud our set." "It will be very expenslvo, but I sup pose there is nothing else to bo done." sighed Lady Frances. "The Browns arrived in London, and put up at the Lanham Hotel. Lady Frances called on them immediately after their arrival. She was delighted with Katie, and told her friend Clare that, with tho exception of the Ameri can accent, "she was just as good style as any one else." "They are so quaint and original, my dear. Fancy they call their father Uncle Sam." "They wilj soon settle down to our ways. Look at Lady Wilton who would imagine that .she was an Ameri can?" saiil Clara, soothingly. "That's true, dear. 1 assure you Katie will create quite a sensation. She is really very pretty and graceful, and full of vivacity." "If she be so nice Jack will have to be careful, an J you had better not intro duce her to any one until it is all arranged." "So I told him, dear, but he won't listen to me. He says we must give a dinner to them next Thursday, get all our set to call, aud give a ball next week." "I don't think it is wise," said Clare Melton, seriously. "Perhaps not, dear, but what can I do? Jack is so obstinate, and I posi tively believe he is serious at last." Lady Frances had half-a-dozen of her relatives to meet the Browns. The dinner was, of course, perfection, and the guests well chosen two lords and a duke, with their respective wives and as there were no young men Jack had Katie all to himself. Samuel W. Brown did not appear a bit abashed in the presence of the old nobility. He was a shrewd man, who had studied human nature, and had seen many phases of life, and his anecdotes of America were most interesting. He described graphically his experience of California life in the old days of gold mining and wild speculation, and his noble listeners, who had never before met a character like Samuel, were deeply interested in his narratives. Next day when Lady Frances was talking over tho dinner with her old friend she said: Oh, I am so nervous and excited about it all. Fancy! the duchess praised her most warmly. "Herpositiou then will be assured," added Clare, decisively. "And Lord Oldin wants to get the elder sister for his son," continued Lady Frances. "It will be such a nice rtntinit( iiii "But when is Jack going to propose." "I am sure I don't know. Perhaps at the dance. I wish, dear, it was all arranged, for it will bo most expen sive for me if it hists long, and I really cannot afford it." "It was most expeusive, for Jack got his mother to pay for everything, and he and Henry Sniily, Lord Oldin's second son, had a pleasant time of it, "running the heiresses," as Jack ex pressed it, at her expense. The ball was a great success, and Katie C. Brown created quite a sensa tion. Jack was most attentive to her, and she actually danced six times with him. He allowed, however, the oppor tunity to pass without proposing to her, much to Lady Frances's indignation. Jaek and the Browns once again re lapsed into the same pleasant Bohe mian life. One day they went to Wind sor, the next to Hampton Court or San flown races, ami so on. Lady Frances was nervous and shocked, for Samuel Washington Brown allowed the girls to do exactly as they liked, and seldom accompanied them. "1 calculate j-oung people like being left to themselves. You and I did long ago. Lady Frances," he used to say. "Yes, but it is uoL our custom," she protested. "1 dou'L believe English girls aro half so wicked as you think. Why don't you trust them a little more?" he asked. She did not exactly know what au swer to make, so muttered something incoherent about, society. "All artificial. Lady Frances; all humbug. It is a great pity it is so. Society spoils you all. Do you know that duke of ours would make a good fellow if he were not a duke, aud Lord Oldiu has his head as well screwed on as any man in the States. You, too, are a clever woman yourself, Lady Frances," he continued. " "1 like you, and I guess I like your nobility, too when they thaw." Lad- Frances could not altogether understand or appreciate Samuel W. Brown. Indeed, she was growing quite concerned about him. Ho had a habit of calling on her at all sorts of strange hours, giving as an excuse that the girls were "away with the boys," and he was lonely. "I really believe," said Lady Frances with a shudder, to her friend Clare "I really believe that wretched man is making love to me." "Good gracious, my dear, how terri ble! It will spoil it all if you have to refuse him," exclaimed Clare Melton. By this time Samuel Washington Brown and tho Misses Brown were celebrities. Everyone knew or had heard of tho great American heiresses; but Jack Trimston did not seem a bit nearer to marriage. Ladv Frances was in despair. "They will "ruin me be tween them," she moaned. "Why I have actually overdrawn my account at the bank" "It will be all right, mother, when I marry Katie. Old Sam will 'stump tip the dollars,1 as he -expresses it," laughed Jack. ."I wish you would proposo at once. We really cannot go on living in this extravagant manner. I am positively ruined!" moaned Ladv Frances. "Fancy half a million of money, mother! Why, you cau have as much as you like when it's mine." Matters, however, gradually became desperate. Every one was talking of Jack and the heiress, and was wonder ing why the engagement was kepis secret; "for surelv." thev reasoned. "they must be engaged, or they would I ! not be going on in this manner.1" And by degrees they also began to associate Samuel W. Brown's name with that of Lady Frances. "Fancy tho old tabby going in for that rich old savage," said her dear friend. Lady Oldin, to her husband. "Ho is worth a million of money," said His Lordship dryly, "and Lady Frances is not rich' At last tho crisis came. Lady Frances received an intimation from her banker that he could cash no more of her checks. Nothing could save her, therefore, but Jack's engagement. On his return home Her Ladyship ex plained the startling news to him. "I will propose to-morrow," ho re marked; "but perhaps I had better write and get an appointment first with the old gentleman and sound him." He accordingly dispatched the follow ing epistle: My Dear Sir: Can you give me an inter view to-morrow morning at eleven a. in. at tho Laugham? I wish to speak to you on a deli cate .subject and hope to see you alone. l'ray rciiienuier mo very Kinaiy io your dangiiters, and believe mo yours very truly, J. TltlMsTOX. S, W. Urown, Esq. "There, mother!" he remarked. "The die is cast. To-morrow will decide my fate. Ihe next morning, while he was seated at breakfast with Lady Frances, a letter was handed him by the servant. He read it quietly, and then after a lit tle hesitation, passed it on to his mother. It ran: My Dear Sir: I shall be most nappy to seo you, as suggested, at eleven.

"What's that! Say isn't that the stuff they call dynamite!" The mau grinned. "Now you get out o' this! I don't propose to have my head blown oil to humor your nonsense.

"There it is and you can take your chances," replied the man as he placed the affair on a chair and walked out doors. It was live minutes before tho officer picked it up, and then he w:is all alone in the place. He placed it on the bar, carefully removed the wrapping and when he reached the compound itself he stuck up his nose aud walked out and pursued his way.

They breed from the Middle States northward, and winter from Mexico to the Amazon, but nowhere in the United States. By the eighteenth of May they are usually pretty well distributed through our own State. They travel iu tho night, but not like a thief, but like the Arab, so as to pitch thoir tent the lirst thing next day. You go to bed at night all unexpectant, to find on awak ing next morning the air tilled with new song merry, rolicking, jingling song so gleeful you laugh in spite of yourself, forgetting for the moment that -ou are not a boy and out on tho dewy pastures driving home tho cows. The males and their ladies come to gether iu large parties, and after a few days merry-making they select sites for their nests and commence work. They build on the ground, usually in a meadow, as do the Larks, and the nest is built of coarse grass well lined with a line quality of the same. They are not careful builders, aud have but a plain home in which to lay live bluish white, spotted 0s, over which the mother bird broods from twelve to fourteen days. Meantime the happy male over runs with bewitching song for his little mate, hovering about tho nest nearly the whole day. The male birds appear in full spring attire ami are very beautiful. Their general color is black, marked with cream color aud white. By the last of June the- begin to fade, gradually as sumingthe plainer brownish yellow color of the female, aud by the middle of Au gust it is difficult to" tell them apart. About this time, from all parts of the North they move toward their winter home. South they are known as "Bice birds," are in plain deess, have no song and no good name, and are hunted down by hundreds for their pilfering in rico fields. Leaving the Southern States in October, they are said to appear soon after in the islands of Cuba and Jamaica, where they arc called the Butter bird. They feed" ou insects, caterpilers, wild oats, green corn, and at the South, ou rice. Albany Arqns. A Great Day for the Country.

When the driver of the horse was arraigned for fast driving, he was fined $100. "But, Your Honor, the horse raa away, and I could not control him. It was not my fault iu the least." "I know that," replied the Judge." "And then. Your Honor, there is an other mitigating circumstance. The or gan was totally destroyed, and the or gan grinder will never be able to turn a an die again."

Xeiv England Fanner. Traveling' Cloaks, Hats, Ltc. Stripes, checks, cross -bare, and dull plaids are the designs of tho English rough cloths most used for traveling cloaks, ami there are also mixtures of many-colored threads without any special design: occasionally a camel's hair cloak ot solid color, such as tin, seal brown, or blue, is seen; but these garments are chosen more with a view to wearing them in city streets next autiuuu than for summer journeying. The loose Raglan with .square sleeves is the favorite sliape for those who want a garment that is easily pnt off and on. The newest of these loose cloaks now have a broad box plait extending down each side of the front from the neck as far as the knees, and trimmed there by a bow of ribbon or a passementerie or nament with tassele 1 ends that fall on the space below the pWit, which is left plain and full. The sides are not made as high and full above the armholcs as in more dressy wraps, yet arc curved out slightly, and sometimes have a small roll of wadding inside them. The back has the middle forms cut off below the waist, aud a breadth of the material is added thereto make th skirt sutliciently full, and the join is covered by ribbons tied in loops with ends. For slender ligures the shirred peiisse is a graceful garment, and ma' be long enough to envelop the wearer, and entirely cover and protect the traveling dress beneath. Checked tweed, Cheviot, mohair, and pongee arc the materials most suitable for these pelisses, with a stitched collar of the material, or else a velvet collar. Small bonnets and round hats of com pact shape are chosen to match the dress or the long wrap used for trav eling. The small bonnets of dark straw have a narrow crown, somewhat long, and rounded like those of English turbans, and the rolled coronet brim is covered b velvet put on in irregular puffs, and clustered in a round, rosette like piece on the left side, in which may "be stuck an aigrette, or else two quills of dark colors, or perhaps two long gilt or silver spikes or pins. A small bow of velvet under the chin takes the place of strings. The most popular round hats have high crowns that may be either square or tapering, with a nar row brim curled alike on each side, and much narrower behind, or else it may be slightly widened on one side, and rolled up to show the velvet facing. The trimming is a bias band of velvet folded narrowly around the crown, and a bunch of three or four ostrich tips curved toward the front of the brim, and placed just in front of the crown. Turbans of large English shapes wilh velvet trimmings are worn by young ladies. Uarjtcrs Bazar. Ihe Creamery and the Farmer. Among the various ways of diversify ing production on tho farm, the cream er has many advantages. It yields quick returns. Many creameries pay cash every month. A fanner who lacks capital to stock his farm and must wait for the natural increase to give him his return, may, by investing in.cows, get a return in a" few months. He thus, in a measure, gets the advantage of the "nimble sixpence." The results are more certain than iu most other lines of fanning. (Jood butter is always in de mand for cash. Tho product being sold as fast as made, tho risk of a falling market with a full stock on hand is largely removed. If extreme fluctua tions in price come, they affect only a part of the year's production. The bus iness is fairly remunerative. The prof its, as is usual with a business in which the element of risk is largely removed, arc not excessive, but being steady, may in the long run bo better for the fanner than a more speculative line of work with promise of larger profits.. The fol lowing aro some essential conditions of success in the business of furnishing cream to a creamery: The cows must be liberally fed; valuable production comes from abundant food. There must bo the greatest regularity in feeding, watering and milking the cows. The cows must be good ones. These caunot always be bought, and the successful dairyman should raise his own cows as fast and as far as possible. He can thus be in a position to select the best to keep, and sell the others. The whole business must be under the immediate direction and care of the owner, or of some painstaking person who has a pe cuniary interest in the returns from tho dairy. It will rarely be possible to have the work done successfully by hircilhelp alone.
