Only a nurse, and nothing but a name;
A patient woman in her round of duty,

Only a nurse, a messenger of mercy.
An Angel sent into our suffering race.
With quiet step and tender hand of healing,
Dlvinest pity on her gentle face.
When all the world lies wrapt in quiet slum

Whose watchful eye wiih Christian lore keeps

Through the long night with silent, softened

Only a nurse, in duty all unshrinking:
Before such fcenca man's stouter heart

See there 1 Tuat sweet, fair girl in sorest trial
Is at her pest, nor will her courage fail.
The ferer wo but terrowtruck encounter.
Or fly before with selfish, coward dread;
White nurse and doctor hasten to the rescue
And stand unflinching by the stricken bed.
Hark.! That weird bell an accident at mid

With kindly help and loving, tei.der care;

Chambers Journal.
IN IMMINENT PERIL.
The warm tropical moon threw its
rays down upon the sleepingwzci'enda,
or country-place of Senor Don Pablo
Maria Gomez. The long line of white
buildings, enclosing within them the
patio or court-yard, where the air was
heavy with the scent of the orange
blossoms and fragrant with the subtle
odor of the limes, had in the moonlight
a strange weird look, as though they
were not real.
The house itself was of but one story.
and covered a wide expanse of ground.
Built of stone, its windows, with their
wooden bars, made it look something
like a goal; and its severe outlines and
sharp right angles gave little hint of the
wealth and luxury within. For Don
Pablo was rich beyond almost the dream
of avarice.
He did not himself know the extent
of his wealth. Lying there in the
moonlight, about a thousand yards
from the great house, were rows of
palm-hut?, heavily thatched, and in
these were the sleeping slaves. His
great-grandfather had received the
grant from the king of Spain, and with
it an allotment of Indiaus, which prac
tically covered all that the Hidalgo
could capture. His son, Don Fablers
grandfather, had been among the fore
most to urge the importance of negroes,
and had added largely to the labor
force of the Esmeralda ranch.
Well fed and well treated, the slaves
had increased until Don Pablo had now
no very distinct idea of how many he
did own. In point of fact, just as they
were parts of his enormous estate fifty
one miles long by thirty wide which
he had never seen, so there were men
owned by him that he had never spoken
to.
But if Don Pablo did not know all,
his daughter and only child, Donna
Carmen, knew most of them.
Mounted upon one of her horses, and
attended by her peon, old Juan, she
rode here and there over the place, and
knew almost every corner of it
To say she was almost worshipped by
the "people" is not to overstate the
thing in the least
Were any of them sick. Donna Car
men would give them medicine; were
any in trouble, to Donna Carmen they
would go for comfort; it would be diffi
cult indeed to say how many little
Carmens had been named after her.
When then, Don Pablo invited Don
Louis Medina, a third cousin of his, to
come to the ranch for a visit when his
daughter returned for the last time from
the convent of Our Lady of Mercy,
where she had been educated, all the
women on the place rejoiced; fordid
they not know that their senorita had
been betrothed to Don Louis ever since
she was ten years old, and was not Don
Louis as handsome and gallant a young
feliow as you could meet? Most assured
ly he wasT
The older men, however, were not so
well satisfied, holding, as they did, that
Don Louis might be, and probably
was, all very well; but he was not, in
their opinion, worthy of Donna Car
men. The strongest believer in this
view was old Juan, who had looked af
ter his young mistress from the time she
was a little baby, and who worshipped
the ground she trod on.
However, as Juan would have felt the
same, no -matter who came to woo, this
was, perhaps, to be expected. To tell
the truth, Don Pablo himself felt some
what the same way, and therefore, list
ened with great patience to old Juan's
grumbling.
But it was summer-time for the young
people. Riding out in the cool morn
ing, spending the hot noon on the wide
piazza, lazily reclining in that universal
hammock of the Spanish race, filling
up the evening with music, with merry
talk, and joyous laughter, the days
went swiftly by.
Don Pablo would listen to the two,
happy in his daughter's happiness, and
recalling now and then, as he watched
them, the days when be went to see his
Mercedes she .who died after a brief
two years of wedded life, and left a void
in her husband's heart, which had never
been filled. And now his Carmen was
going to leave him; was thinking mora
of her future husband than of her fath
er, as that father believed. Is it any
wonder that Don Pablo was not offend
ed with old Jnan?
The moon went down, and you could
faintly see in the darkness some dusky
figures stealing towards the house. A
dozen of them, all small, looking moro
like boys than men. Gathering around
one of the windows, they worked at
something in silence.
By-and-by the wooded bars were
taken out, and some of them stole into
the room without a sound.
A noise like a cry cut short broke on
the ear, and then two figures passed
through the window, taken by the
watchers outside, and then the whole
Earty disappeared as silently as they
ad come.
Don Pablo and his guest sat at early
coffee next moruinjr, wondering greatly
why Donna Carmen did not coinc. Call
ing one of the women at last, Don Pab
lo sent her to ask the reason.
In a few moments she rushed into the
room.
"Senor, senor! the senorita "
"Well, what?"
"The senorita has gone!"
"Gone!" exclaimed the two men in a
breath, rising from their scats.
"Gone where?" added Pablo.
Oh, 'senor, she's gone, and the win
dow "
Don Pablo rushed out of the room,
followed by Don Louis.
. The examination which followed dis
closed but little, except that Donna Car
men and her servant Manuela, who al
ways slept in her room, had disappear
ed how, was easily; seen from the open
window and cut bars.
There was no trace to be found of
tracks. Nothing else seemed to have
bees taken; simply, as the peon woman
had said, they were '.'gone.-'
Don Pablo sank under the blow. He
seemed as though he were in a dream.
He sat in a chair staring vacantly before
hirn, and nothing they could do seemed
toroosehini.
With Don Louis it was different
Calling Juan, who, by-the-bye. was
jpaxij distracted, he asked him if they -had
aay tigrercs, or tiger-hunters, on
the estate.
IaaraiBg there wees two, he sent for
aad before long tney came id
with more than one scar on tbeir half
naked bodies; their long, black hair
twisted up into knots on top of the head,
with heavy long knives hung at the
waist, and in their bauds the deadly
blow-guns.
They stood before the young man
listening to his rapidly told story"
Then they begun tbeir search.
Quartering the grouud to and fro,
they exaruiued every inch rnrcfully, but
without any result Had there evt-r been
any trail, the peons trampling over it
would have effaced it long before.
At last the older of the two said to
Don Louis:
"Senor, los peros'' (the doj;s).
"What a fool 1 am! Here. Juan,
bring the dogs here, and get that one of
mine All you people go in the house
uutil we get tho trail. Josefa, briug
me some dress that your mistress
wore."
In a moment or two Juan came out,
leading live dogs. Large, with heavy
dew-laps, rather short Ifgs, but long
bodies, of a deep liver and tan color,
they were as beautiful specimens of
the Spanish bloodhound as one could
see.
Don Louis took the drcs Josefa gave
him, and calling the dogs, gave it to
them to smell. This they did for some
time. Then, leading them to the win
dow, he let idem loose. Generations of
man-hunting had taught these animals
what to da
Slowly, with their noses on the ground
they circled round uutil at Inst one of
them lifted up his head and gave a pro
longed bay.
Instantly the others gathered round
him, and after smelling for a moment,
repeated the sound. Then they started
towards the canes, the tiger-hunters
following; them. and behind Don Louis
and a uozen peons. Reaching the
caues, the hunters found the trail, and
examined it keenly for a few moments.
"Senor, they are Mucyeae," said the
older.
"Are you sure, Pedro?"
"Si senor."
"It's near the great feast, isn't it?"
"Si senor next month."
Don Louis hurried back to the house
to see Don Pablo, and to tell him the
news.
The Mucyeas were, in the old Span
ish days, the most dreaded of all the
tribes in New Grenada. Highly civil
ized, brave, and most desperate war
riors, the old histories are full of ac
counts of their raids. Like the greater
part of the South American Indians,
they worshipped the sun, and once a
year held a great feast in his honor,
at which they always had human sacri
fices. No need now to tell the two miser
able men on the hacienda why the light
of their eyes had been stolen away in
the night Donna Carmen was destined
to have her heart torn from her body as
an offering to the Great Lord of the
Sky. the Mighty One, the Ruler of
the Four Pillars of the Earth Huana
chin! There would be warriors and pilgrims
preseut by the thousand; there would be
offerings of gold and precious stones,
there would be solemn tlauccs and
hymns sung in honor of their god, and
then the girl would be laid on the altar,
aud the white-robed priest would offer
her bleeding heart before the shape
less stone which was held in such rever
ence. Small wonder, then, when Don Pablo
heard the name of the Mucyeas. that he
threw off his apathy and prepared to
fight for his own,
lu a country where men habitually
travel in a somewhat rough and ready
fashion it does not take long to get
ready for an expedition, and in less
than' au hour horses were saddled,
mules packed, and Don Pablo, with
Don Louis and some twenty mounted
peons, all fully armed, had started.
As before, the dogs, followed -by the
tiger-hunters, went first, and about ten
3ards behind these came the rest of the
party. They passed through the cane
patch, struck the wide savannah, or
grazing pait of the estHte, and towards
eveuiug came to the foot of the moun
tains. Here they had a long consultation.
The trail led right up the rocks, and
Don Pablo knew that about two leagues
in that diiection would bring them to
ground where the animals could not
travel. Upon oiiiting this out to the
guides, the older advised that the main
road across the mountains should be
taken, and the party pushed forward as
fast as possible in order to intercept the
Mucyeas in the valley beyond.
This plan Don Louis strenuously op
posed, believing, as he did, that the
chance of losing them was too great
After an animated discussion it was
finally arranged that Don Louis, with
the dogs, one guide and seven peons,
should follow the Indians, while Dou
Pablo, with the rest of the party, should
try and cut them off
Tying bands of cotton around the
dogs, so that they could see them in the
dark before the moon rose. Don Louis
wrung the hand of Don Pablo convul
sively, as the latter said to him:
"If you cannot save her, my son, kill
her, if you can. It is better that a
Christian maiden should die by the
hand of a Christian cavalier than that
she should be offered up as a sacri
fice to those hideou3 gods of the sav
ages!" And Don Louis, as he bent over to
receive the other's blessing, registered '
a fearful vow in his heart
Leaving tho rest Don Louis and his
little party struck rapidly up the mountain-side.
The road became rougher
and rougher as they toiled up, the mules
being barely able, with much urging,
to keep pace with the dogs. As for the
tiger-hunter, he seemed insensible to
fatigue, as he walked swiftly ahead of
tho party.
About" half-past one they camped,
and, taking some food, lay down to
rest
At daylight the next morning they
started again.
At the height they now found them
selves, the scenery was inexpressibly
dreary; the scany vegetation scarcely
veiled the dark rocks; the mountains
were everywhere split into the most
fearful chasms and rifts.
About noon that day they had to
abandon the animals, and then began
the chase on foot, Climbing with Feet
and hands up the rocks, they toiled on,
and towards nightfall reached the high
est point Here they camped again.
Once more at daylight they started,
and by two in the afternoon again
reached trees.
The guide, who had narrowly watch
ed the dogs, came to Don Louis and
warned him that they were close to the
parry now. A word from Don Louis,
and all examined their weapons to see
that they were ready. Theu onward
once more.
When the two girls, Donna Carmen
and Manuela. had waked up only- to
find their beads wrapped up in cloths
and themselves bouud. tbeir terror was
extreme. Utterly unable to see any
thing, they felt" themselves lifted up,
transferred from one to another, and'
finally tied in the chairs which the
Indians carry on their backs.
Then they were taken rapidly over
the ground; it being some eight hours
after their capture before the wrap
pings around their heads were taken
off.
As soon as they saw their raptors
they knew what fate was in store for
them. Manuela burst at once iuto
tears, and loudly bewailed her fate, but
Donna Carmen was perfectly still
She rode along, praying oonstantly.

the hope of rescue, although poor girL
she had little belief in its possibility
Beyond the fact that the men made
long journeys, and the girls were very
tired, they wen treated well, and fed
with the best the Indians had.
The second night they camped in a
little glade in the forest; the Indians
slung a hammock for Donna Carmen,
and spread a mat for Manuela, and then
building a fire, began to cook.
Donna Carmen was lying in her ham
mock, the tears which sue had kept
back ail day streaming from her eyes,
while below her, on the ground,
Manuela had sunk into a troubled sleep.
Suddenly they were startled by the
sound of guns, aud six of the Indians
round the fire sprang into the air only
to fall prostrate.
The next moment Donna Carmen
heard the voice of Dou Louis as be
dashed into the open space sword in
hand.
"Louis, Louis!" she screamed, and in
a second he, stood between her and the
savages.
The tiger-hunter bounded into the
Elace, aud with his machete, or long
nife, cut off the arm of a man who
had just raised his deadly blow-gun.
The dogs followed, and seizing three
of the Indians, fairly tore them in
pieces.
In the meantime, however, two of
them had got their blow-guns raised,
and the two little darts flew through
the air, pne striking Manuela on the
arm, and the other Don Louis in the
cheek.
Ifewas their last shot; however, for,
with savage yells, tne peons closed in
on them and simply hacked them to
pieces.
When Don Louis was struck, he did
not know it, and would certainly have
died had it not been for the tier
liunter. Coming up to him he cut the
arrow out, and was then going to suck
out the poison, when Djnna Carmen,
pushing him to ono side, knelt down,
and, applying her. lips to the wound,
saved her lover's life Not any too soon,
however.
It was two days before Don Louis
was well enough to be even carried in
a litter, and before that time Don Pablo,
with his party, guided by the other
tiger-hunter, had joined them.
Poor Manuela was buried in the
woods. The slow journey back to the
hacienda took nearly a week; but it was
not more than six weeks before a bril
liant wedding saw Dou Louis and
Donna Carmen made man and wife. It
was then that Donua Carmen gave two
of the hamdsomest Spanish guns that
could be bought for money to tho tiger
hunters, one of which, preserved by the
descendants of the 'younger, lsaw when
1 heard the story.

Baron Nicolas) Kaalbar.
When I had the pleasure of making
the acquaintance of Baron Nicolas
Kaulbars he was only a simple colonel
and chief of the staff of one of the army
corps at St Petersburg. That rfas in
the lifetime of the late czar, and the
baron's rise has been rapid since the
S resent emperor came to the throne,
iaron Kaulbars was then a tall man,
with fairly broad shoulders, but with a
slight stoop and very little flesh on his
bones. His voico is low and soft and
his manner extremely courteous, though
it always gives one the idea of being put
on, and in speaking of weak nationali
ties or to their representatives his tone
is generally slighting and contemptu
ous. He is a capital companion, for he
speaks English. French and German
with equal facility, and has an immense
store of odds aud ends of knowledge,
which he makes uso of without any
parade, and with a frank boyishness
that is very winning. He can hardly
be called a truoborn Russian, for on the
father's side he is a Finn, and his im
mediate female ancestors were German
and English. He has a strong sense of
hnmor, and is fond of stringing togeth
er French rhymes, an occupation which
he describes as tres sympathique. As
an instance, we were once climbing a
mountain with several companion,
among them a young Russian lieuten
ant of the army of the Balkans, and
this lieutenant, finding the July sun too
much for him, was obliged to halt and
give np the ascent About half way up
we stopped for a short rest, and Baron
Kaulbars amused himself by extempo
rizing a poem on our, expeuition. out
got no further than the eouplot:
La paurre KhadonakaeTlicb par less cbalsurs
aooable
A la fin no pourait plus marcher.
On the same excursion we caught a
curious beetle of considerable size In
the long grass; and as the baron wish
ed to preserve it alive, for he was an
enthusiastic naturalist, we made a pa
per box oat of some old letters, and the
baron actually carried the unhappy
,' speeiasea in his pocket to the top of the
mountain and down again.' Of coarse
1 am only speaking of him as i
M
acquaintance, never having any official
intercourse with him. but ccrtaiuly as a
friend he was very pleasant and enter
taining, though tho Bulgarian govern
ment would in all probability give a
very different account of him- Still,
from his tone of voice in giving orders
to his subordinates I should imagine
that he could be sufficiently brutal aud
overbearing should occasion offer.

FORTUNES IN THE MOON.
Mora Ukely To ha Foand There Thaa
la the Baak of Kaglaad.
What are the facts of unclaimed fort
unes in the Bank of England and iu
chancery? The bank has issued au
official statement which says: "There
are no large amounts of unclaimed stock
or dividends standing in our books.
There are few amounts of 1.000, and
probably none that exree-1 this sum by
more than 100 or 200." So much
for the bank. Statements like this have
been issued since the days when James
Buchanan, then our minister iu London,
made some inquiries about the mythical
Evans estate. As to unclaimed funds
in chancery, the secretary of our lega
tion prepared last year a statement, un
der Minister Lowell's direction, in which
.he said that there was in tho custody of
the court only 1,000,000 in unclaimed
or dormant funds. So much for the
court of chancery.
Where, then, are the Jenneus estate
(9500.000,000). the Mosher estate ($32,
000.000), the Bradford estate ($122,000,
000), tho Lawreuce-Townley, or Chase
Townley estate ($800,000,000), and all
the other enormous estates that so many
persons in America are trying to ob
tain? Unquestionably they are in the
moon.
Those who think they are entitled 'to
real estate or personal property in En
gland should near in mind the follow
ing declaration made by our legation
and sent to congress last year:
"Any attempt to recover real estate
from the crown or individuals after a
lapse of twelve years, (which may be
extended to thirty under certain cir
cumstances), and personal property aft
er a lapse of twenty years, however
valid the claim of the person making
the attempt may have been originally,
is certain to end in failure."
Persons who have been led to believe
that they are entitled to estates or funds
in Holland should read a report recent
ly made by Mr. Bell, our minister at
Tho Hague. Ho describes the law of
1&2 which provided for the escheating
of all unclaimed estates within a speci
fied time, and adds: "The law has ef
fectually and finally disponed of all un
claimed funds and estates in this coun
try originating prior to March. 1852.
There has, therefore, since 1852, been
no such thing in Holland as an unclaim
ed estate originating prior to that date."
H thousands of deluded Americans
who dream of enormous estates in for
eign lands to which they are the right
ful heirs would only consult an honest
and intelligent lawyer or diliguutlv
read some good newspaper they would
save some moucy and a great deal of
time. There are nicu wlio for many
years have made good livings out of the
delusions of thfse people, but the swin

those whom they live upou will only

and then use the facts for lh.ienlightt.-u-ment

solid ground on the embankment, which
at that point ran through an almost

shrieking as it did so. For tire or six
times I woke up ouch morning with the
impression that the train was going
straight over my body, and was- on the
point of leaping iuto'the middle of the
track or anywhere olse, but alter awhile
I began to grow accustomed to it
"One morning, however, the train
came through with such a series of wild
and unaccustomed shrit-ks that I start
ed up with a sense that something aw
ful was happening, aud, just as 1 was
trying to renlize what it all was, the tup
of my teut-pole gave away with a snap,
and there came crashing do'wn through
the roof of the tent the mangled body of
a mule that had been straying on the
track, aud had been casually thrown
my way by the locomotive. The poor
animal was not dead but was badly
done for, and I ordered the guard to
knock him in the head aud drag him
away, it was done.
"This might have ended the inci

Thomas Hughes says there is a pecu
liar charm about the words "one's own"
which it takes a man or boy long to
find out but I doubt savs a writer in
the Philadelphia Press, if there is a wo
man who from babyhood has not recog
nized that charm. Let as then think
with more consideration than has been
our wont of those women who have
never taken upon themselves the pleas
ures and cares of wedded life, but whose
lives have been given up to others far
more than have those of tbe majority of
tbeir wedded sisters.
One such woman- has charge of a
household whose inmates are an invalid
mother, a feeble grandmother, and a
bachelor brother. She makes the home
happy for them, and with what return
for this sacrifice of her girlhood? Wha
are her privileges? She can not order
a dinner exactly to suit herself or have
it served according to her own ideas;
and to change the boar of 'a meal or
ask a friead ia without first holding a
family coasaltatiea would be consider-
ed high treason.
It is possible that even mothers ate a
little too selfish and exacting toward
their unmarried daughters. There is a
widow with three unmarried daughters
of "uncertain age." It would be a de-
cided convenience to the musician of
the family if the niano could be moved
. .i .- .i. ol.
to another part of the room. She
speaks to her mother about it The re
ply is: "1 see no reason. Emy, why it
should.be moved; it has uo trials and
difficulties to overcome," aud of them
it is required that they shall be always
cheerful and amiable.
There is another family with oue un
married daughter still at home. She
does much of thu housekeeping and the
family sewing, hut tier recreation, that
she lores above ali elso, is her palette
aud brush; and yet even her time is not
her own. She 'has not one uninter
rupted hour during the dav. Patiently
day after day she nuts aside her canvas
to lit on mother's dress or sew on fath
er's buttons or see that the spare 'room
is made ready for mother's friends, and
day after day aud week after week the
work she longed to do has bad to be
put off till some future time, which never'
comes.
This young woman is a type of a class
whose burdens are heavy because made
up of numberless trifles. Can we not
by a little more thought for her who
thinks so often for others add some
thing to her pleasures?
A Hosp'b' Greeting. .
An imposing im-wii stone wall cap
ped by a bronze railing, and pierced by
three massive bronze folding gates sur
round a gentle sloping lawn, above
which rises tbe mansion itself, which
faces California street and is 106 z 190
feet The walls are C4 feet high and
25 inches thick, placed on a massive
podium with a portico in front 50 feet
long and a port-cocherc in the rear of
similar dimensions. In keeping with
Mr. Flood's well known aversion to
ostentation, the outside gives no hint of
its internal luxury. The stvle of archi
tecture is Roman' classic, the windows
of the first story being finished with
pilasters of Doric design, and those of
the second story with Ionic pilasters.
This variety of ornament greatly re
lieves the effect of the flat walls, which
are capped by a classic balustrade.
The invisible roof is of wood covered
with copper. Tbe splendid portico,
which stands out from the -facade in
perfect symmetry, is the principal exter
nal ornament to which sixteeu Doric
pillars lend dignity. The brownstone
monolithic steps are composed of a sin
gle slab, and measure 23 feet
The doorway which is 9 feet wide
and 14 feet high is closed with massive
double doors of English oak which
6Wing noiselessly open and reveal the
vestibule, the floor and ceiling of which
are Pompciian mosaics marble, of ex
quisite design of foliage and grapes in
quiet neutral tints. The high wainscot
iug is of Numidiau marble, surmounted
by a richly carved marble frieze in full
relief, which completes the tunnel
shaped ceiling, again of mosaic lighter
in tone, with graceful designs of wreaths
and ribbons lorming mottoes of wel
come in Old English script, the one on
the right reading:

A Millionaire's Hobby.
Senator Stanford's $20,000 stable is
rapidly approaching completion, and the
contractors expect to have it ready for
the senator's horses aud carriages early
next month. Tbe at a bio is a model one.
For months past the senator's represen
tative here has been overrun by cranks
and inventors with all sorts of new ideas
for the comfort or discomfort of the
horses. It has been the hardest thing
to convince these people that Senator
Stanford is not building a dime museum
for the exhibition of freaks or crank in
ventions. Men who have an idea that
horses would be better if they slept in
beds have come to Senator Stanford to
ask him to put folding beds in his
horses' stalls. One man bad an idea
that the senator wanted to buy his pa
tent fly-driving machine and erect it
over each horse to keep the flies off
him. Another crank wrote a letter stat
ing that it would be good idea to paper
tbe ceiling with fly-paper, and then the
horses would not be bothered. But such
ideas were not listened to. There are
inventions and improvements in the
stable which are great innovations. The
edifice is an imposing one on L street
The walls are tweuty-two inches thick,
being built with a large air-chamber in
the centre so as to prevent the least bit
of moisture or dampness from penetrat
ing tho walls and giving the horses cold.
There will be ten stalls, all fitted up in
hardwood, elaborately carved and em
bellished. At each trough is running
water, so that tbe grooms will not navo
to carry water about the building and
slop it over the floor. The arrange
ment for lettingfeed down from the bins

one. One of the great objections to nav
ing a carriage-house near the stable
proper is the odor absorbed. To obvi
ate this, the carriages are run into the
stable and on to a largo elevator and
carried up-stairs to a eealed room,
where they will be free from odor or dirt
The stable is decorated in hardwood
and is finished in elegant 6tyle. Wash

"Joe" Brown and "Bob" Toombs.
Another story I lately heard of Sena
tor Joseph Brown relates to his quar
rel with "Bob" Toombs, which liked to
end in a duel, but which failed because
Toombs did not send the challenge.
Brown has a great reputation all over
Georgia for being a very strict Christ
ian. He has been noted as a temper
ance man, and he is always to tbe front
in any religious movement Some of
the old women in Georgia expect to see
urown translated some uay, ana it is
said that he can make as good a relig
ious exhortation as he can a stump
speech. Well, when Toombs was at
one time especially angry at Brown bo
sent a military friend 'of his to ask
Brown whether there was anything in
religion which would prevent him from
accepting a challenge.
Brown received the strutting colonel
and listened to his question, looking
him in the face with his cold gray eye
and stroking bis long grav beard as be
did so. As the colonel concluded
Brown's big mouth opened like a trap,
and he slowly and articulately said: "I
have carefully considered my duty to
man and to God. I havo canvassed my
religious belief and have come to the
conclusion that you may tell Gen.
Toombs that I can really find nothing
either in it or myself that will prevent
me receiving a challenge from him at
any time or under any conditions. I
shall indeed be most nappy to oblige
him in any way which he shall see fit
to ask."
The colonel said good-day and left
Brown, and for some tiroethe'duel hung
fire. During this time it is said that
Brown was busy six hours out of the
twelve firing at marks with a Win
chester rifle, and that he finally got the
aim to such perfection that he could
snuff a candle about eight times out of
ten. Toombs, for this 'reason or some
other, failed to respond, and the matter
dropped, but the congressman who told
me the above story asserts it as hfs be
lief that bad the duel come off Brown
would have killed Toombs with no more
compunction than that he exhibits when
heearyssone of his enemies on the
A Diecoaraged Shah.
The Merv correspondent of the Jour
nal ties Dtbais writes: "Everybody in
Persia admits that the shah is animated
by the best intentions, and that he
wouio. resiore to ma country its ancient ,
, splendors: but at the same time every-
Twwl bam that luivnnd intAtitmna am
body sees that his good intentions are
never carried out, and that no sovoreign '
ever met with less support Such is the
discouragement of the shah that he has
completely given np control of the slate,
just as he allows the fortified walls sur
rounding his residence to crumble and
fall into the ditches. During our sojourn
in Teheran., wo witnessed the curious
spectacle of the minister of fine arts
taking possession of one of the out
buildings of the palace, and declaring
that he would not leave until the salary
due him was paid. The shah, who
loves a good joke has the obstinate vizier
well taken care of, and asks him every
time he meets him on his walks whether
he is satisfied with the cuisine.' The
vizier declares that it is excellent, and
swears that he will end his days near
the person of his majesty. His majesty
laughs, thanks him, and proceeds ou his
walk. Would to heaven that this
comedy may not end in tragedy! This is
a fair example of the condilion'of things
in general. The wages of the soldiers
are a source of iucoine to the colonels,
who send three-fourths of tbe men on
furlough and pocket their wages. The
lower officers allow the soldiers to prac
tice a profession on condition that they
divide the proceeds with them. Many a
soldier who guards in the evening the
door of the palace in the morning sold
lettuceinthe streets, or patched slipper
in the shadow of a mosque."

The Hand of a TbieC
The present rage for palmistry recalls
an incident which occurred half a dozen
years since at Bar Harbor. There were
staying at one of the hotels a pretty
young: widow from Baltimore who was
versed in the secrets of chiromancy and
a young Kentuckian who was par ex
cellence the lion of the season. Tho
widow for some reason or other had
taken a whimsical dislike to tbe popular
southerner and hardly acknowledged
an acqu tintanco with him; yet he one
day ventured to ask her to read his
mindas she had already deciphered
the palms of half the people iu the
house. They lady first demurred, but
at length thinking. :is she afterward ex
plained, that it was simpler to do as she
was asked than to contest the point.she
requested the gentleman to show her
his hand.
Ho did so, aud, with an involuntary
start of surprise and a frankness which
was evidently genuine, she exclaimed:
"Why, it is the band of a thief!" As
the interview took place upon the piazza
in the' presence of a group of boarders,
the position of tho young man was a
sufficiently awkward one, but he did
not Hindu As the lady checked herself
in evident confusion he responded with
the most perfect tact and self, control:
"Ah! Thaukyou. Tuat suggests to me
a means of making my way in the world
that had never occurred to me; and
since tbe war wo southerners have to be
ou the lookout for opportunities."
His ready wit saved the situation,and
he was more popular than ever; but the
interest of .tho taie is that two or three
days after he vvns discovered stealing
tho diamonds of a wealthy dowager,
aud although the matter was hushed
up as much as possible for the sake of
the hotel aud of the people who had in
troduced the Kentuckian, it somehow
leaked out that the rouge was an old
offender aud a thief long kuown to tbe
S)lice of New York and Philadelphia.

Aljively Corpse.
In a neighboring town death entered
an estimable household at midnight,
and an undertaker from this city was
summoned by telegraph, writes a Bridge-
gort correspondent of the New York
un. On arriving at the house the un
dertaker sent his lady assistant to an
upper chamber to prepare the corpse.
Taking her box of bandages, sponges,
etc., the assistant went, as she thought,
to the room indicated, but instead she
entered the room of a young lady, a
member of the bereaved family, who
had fallen sound asleep from exhaustion
caused by her constant attendance at the
sick bed. The attendant had an old
fashioned tallow dip. which she sat ou
the stand, and depositing her box on
the bed by tho side of the sleeping
beauty, she began oje rat ions. Taking
a soft sponge, she carefully washed the
face, observing, what was uot un
usual, that the flesh was still warm.
The young lady slept on. but when a
fine-toothed comb was drawn through
some tangled crimps of her hair she
awoke with a suddenness that upset
both the attendant and the box of imple
ments. Both ladies gave a shriek that
could have been beard blocks away,
and as soon as a match could be struck,
for the caudle had been overturned,
explanations followed. The attendant
believed the corpse had come to life,
and the awakened damsel thought she
had been disturbed by a burelar. Tbe
household below was aroused, and they
followed the undertaker in quick suc
cession to the scene of the disturbance.
Although the death had cast a gloom
over the household, there was a quiet
laugh when the situation was explaiued.

Why am I a woman suffragist? Be
cause I am. Because a woman has
more good, hard, common sense than a
man. Because she makes less bluster
about her rights, and quietly maintains
them better than a man. Because she
won't give $1.50 for an article that she
knows very weli she can get for 75
cents. Because she does uot stalk lofti
ly away from the counter without her
change if tbe robber behind it is a little
reluctant about counting it out Be
cause she is too indepeudent to pay the
landlord $2 for ber dinner and then pay
the head waiter $1 (b send her a waiter

Because she will hold her money tightly
in ber own good little right hand for
two hours until she first gets a receipt
for it from the fellow who made her
husband pay the samo bill live times
last year. Not auy "just give you credit
for it" for her. 'Because one day a'

for blacking one of my shoes and losing
tbe other. And when he said that.
when lsaw for myself tbe heroic firm
