The luidertakar moved, a quid oL tobacco slowly from one side of his long lantern jaw to the other as he replied, dubiously: "The new cimetery folks say that the folks to Ease Village ain't respondin as they bed ought to the new enterprise." "Waal, they hednt ought to callate oa old Luke, anyhow." The speakers sat on the steps of Enoch Johnson's store in East Village, and looked across the green to where two old mem ware playing croquet a game not yet extinct in the mountain farming districts of Vermont. Pretty soon a quarrel seemed to spring up between the players; loud words rang oat under the elms; then came a fierce inter change of blows. The undertaker and Enoch Johnson stood up on the store steps to watch the contest at better advantage, Presently Enoch said, as if apostrophizing: "Thet Luke Judkin's the consarnedest, cussedest, peskiest old critter! Henery is hurted, and here comes Luke with a broken mallet. Shouldn't won der ef he'd say Henery was all to blame. Spry? Aintbespryl D'ye ever bear about bis dog? He's cuter than old Luke himself. Here the old reskill comes. HTo, LukeP "Hlo, Enoch! How's folksr Luke Judkin briskly walked up to the store, holding the parts or a broken mallet handle in his hands. He was the picture of that agile, athletic old age which so often obtains at the present day among the "hill farms" in Vermont. His nose and chin betrayed a ludicrous intimacy. His back was bent with the weight of years. His bands had grown into long, unsightly claws. The day was hot and it was midday, but the son at 110 de grees only sufficed to pleasantly warm the bald head of the old man, whose sharp-little eyes in their cavernous sockets gleamed up at the storekeeper in keen recognition. "Been a-playin crokyr answered Enoch, not replying according to East Village .eti quette to the old man's inquiry concerning his "folks." "Yes; beat Henery Green three games runnin'," said Luke. "Would 'a beat a fourth only Henery be said I cheated. Tw'an't no sich a thing 1" and his eyes blink ed savagely, like the eyeballs of an antiquat ed parrot. "I didn't cheat no more 'n' no less t"i he did." "Come to blows, ehf" "Yas. TwaVt nothin'. Stack our mal lets together a leetle. Say, Enoch, measure me out a cent's worth o' glue Henery broke my handle." "I'd like to see that cent," drawled Enoch, slowly rising and meandering within his store for the glue. Lake took a seat on the steps, near the un dertaker, and proceeded to wipe his perspir ing face with his shirt sk-eve. The under taker looked him over professionally a mo ment; then said, musingly, "Luke,- what is your measure i Five foot seven au' a barf or five eight on' a harf f He put the ques tion casually, as if not personally interested. "Mr: Stopples, you got money in thet new cem'tery enterprise, ain't yet" Mr. Stapples allowed he had "a few han derd." "Waal, tain't nothin1 to you what I mass-, ure. I cal'latu I ken tire out any cem'tery enterprise as has started to East Village, an' when I decease I purpose bein' buried to Weston." "Shot" Mr. Stapples leaned over and picked up a straw, to conceal his feeling of disappointment and vexation. . "I'm agin all them new fangled patent iron moniments an' iron nxnVs, an agin all this 'ere flummery folks is talkin' about. The old fashioned marble head stuns is plenty goodtauT. Tbers altogether too much fancy flxin' to the new cem'tery. I'm agin fountain play into a cemtery yes I be I an' ef the old . berryin ground's full, as tbey say, I'm a-goin' to Weston." "Shot" again ejaculated the undertaker, in an undertone. "Shouldn't think you'd like to make yourself so unpopular." "What's folks to East Village ever done for me? I ain't a-goin' to do nothin' for them no I ain't!" "We had hoped," urged the undertaker, "that you'd open oar new cimetery, an' we callatad f nave the Weston band." "Taint no use argufyin'," said Luke, stubbornly. "A band, an' a adress by the Methodist an' Presbyterian ministers," softly smiled Mr. Stapples. Luke moved uneasily on the step. "A adress makin' mention of your noble carrickter, an' praisin' of It, an' makin' oat as now you were a great philanthropeed," smiled Mr. Stopples, affably. "A wmat srtr" asked Lake, quickly tarn iBghkaiMrp, discrediting eyes fall upon the undertaker. "A phj-kathropeed I callata cm what is a sorter magnLt" Old Lake began to chuckle well within himself. "Me a magait'n East Village P be grinned. "Why, I cant get trust for a bag o' oats!" Enoch came out with the glue done ap in a bit of brown paper. "Guest ye hnrtsa Hen ery, ye old sinner," said he, looking across the green. "There's Marier a-deia' his bead up in a banksher. Look's though his skull was cracked darn me eft dont!" "Hope tk," said Luke. "He'd no bizaest to say I cheated. Why, croky aiat no fun oaless ye cheat some; an' TTiaery, he's wots fclba."

Ha sessaed to bit in somewhat of a harry, and the dog proving unwilling, he led the animal quickly back into the house, At toe same moment a horse man rode furiously up to the store, threw himself off his horse, and shoated to Enoch, who stood cm his door step, scarcely tea feet awayiHlcvEaoch! fleeaaaytatngof my p'inter I bought o' Luke Judkin fer live dol lars" "Cheap dorg!" grinned Enoch, in reply.

"Hank Spink, you'd orter know betterti to try an' buy thet dorg. Menny hex tried it," said Enoch, "an not one on em's ever bed much success. Yoa carrnt buy thet dorg.

"As for Luke, he 'aint done nothin'; its the dorg's fault" Hank Spink scratched hie head.

The others followed. Enoch was altogether too much mterested ia the event of the "dorg" matter to heatste a moment about the need of tendu' bis store. Perceiving his departure, half a dosen young urchins, stroll ing homeward from a bath and swim in a neighboring stream, stole into the store and slyly helped themselves to "Jackson balls" and Tastes cakes in the window. Hot content with these swoem,they daabed their faces with bout, and arrayed themselves in the yellow tarpaulin suits which hung oyer the counter. .But if the urchins were having a good time, the ill concealed look of aasassmeat in honest Enoch's face as ha irraal the green also showed that he too was enjoying bun self, perhaps equally well. "I'd like to see bow Hank 11' go to work," be laughed. "Hank's mad, aa' Lake aint no metre for him in a bare stand op fight Bat Luke's tricky. Hankll never git the dorg!

"I'm a-goin' to stop any man openin' my door an' enterin my bouse without a search warriot. Ye I be!" "Oh, you be, be ye" And Hank gave the old man a thrust aside. They glared at each other.

As Haak lay there sprawling ou the turf, Luke, pals with his effort and with anger, shook hk flat aver hk prostrate foe. , "You'll never git thet dorg. Haak, unless ye luuuwrastle better'n thet!!' Then be put hk hand suddenly to his heart "God A' mighty!" be exclaimed, in a hoarse whisper, as Enoch ran forward. "Somepen's broke inside! Run an' fetch Marier! Some one go for the doctorl I'm I'm I'm He kin her his dorg." The old man sank to the floor of the porch, and rolled over ou oue side, a ghastly white- spreading over his face. "He's dead dead as a nit!" cried Enoch, aghast "No he ain't," said the undertaker, kneel ing by his side. "Ho's only fainted. Hank, you run fer the doctor. Mebbe it's a murder Gtitea ye'd better kinder let the doctor know, Hank, au' then yeou lite out, au' keep hid away. I'll testify 'twau't your fault bein' throwed thet way, but yeou hed orter got a sarcb warrint yes yeou hed!" Hauk took the hint, and went out or tbe yard, much crestfallen and quaking with fear. Although he fancied he heard a dog's ....... . . .. whine come.out to him from die bouse, he did not stop to look back or attempt to whistle after him, the fatal cause of all his trouble that day. Ho left word with the doctor, and galloped back to bis little hill form on the tlinnntm side, a sadder and a wiser, if a dog less man. The doctor worked over Luke for an hour. Aunt Marier, with a scared look, made gruel and poultices, for which there could be no possible we; but on being so informed, only went on making mora gruel and more poul- tices, as if by way of proving herself useful in an emergency, if for no other reason. Luke Judkin "came round." After a week be was out again, tho hard, knotty old fel low. But ho was not tho some man he was. " 'Pears like I hain't got long fer to live," be said, with a melancholy whine, "My innards aint right 'Pears my orgins is twisted in side." But however great the changes wrought by hk last "wrastle" oa Lake's body and in sides, his mental change and moral regenera tion were something astonishing. "He aint tho same cuss," said Enoch, as be aat on his threshold two weeks later, with one or two farmers, and glanced across the green. "He's a sorter meachin' an' wilted down no spank left: Land! he as aster be kinder feelin' round ter do somethin' mean ter hk neighbors, an' make 'em feel mean ter him, why he's turned right round! Guess be won't live long. Kb! Folks says bea paid ,upaJlhk debts.

An' ex fer thet dorg o' hizen, Hank got him back all right; yes, an' Luke, he's try in' fer to act on the square. Why, there's Mr. Stapples a-coming! Dead Luke Judkin deadt Why, I want ter know! Thefsnewa! Whew!" "Yes; dead half an hour ago," said the un dertaker, who came across the green to the store with a pail for ice. "Passed away peaceful like. Yes, yes, I were on hand; hap pened so. Luke's deadat last The strain's what killed him. Yet, looks peaceful an' like a saint" "I callate he's a saint 'nough now," sighed Eaoch, with a New EnglanderHi readiness to canowisn all doressecl persons. "He were wicked at times, were Luke, but mostwise he were so dern smart thet ye hed ter fergiv' Im. An', waaL what ef be did tell hk dorg over a dosen times! Wa'n't it half the dern dorg's fault Deadt WaaL ye dont say so!" "It were part the dorg's fault," replied the undertaker; "but ef I stan' here a talkin, Luke'll spile, an' all thet there peaceful ind of hisen will go for naught I never see a corpse look so mild and good tempered. Most looks sour, Mr. Johnson; but Lake, he smiles away as ef be bed a easy death, kinder pawrd over the river, as tbey say, an' larfin' as' smilin' good-by; an' it's jest hit the cimetery folks off right, tew, Mr. Johnson jest right Oh, we flntshfri off the roadways jest in time, an' we shell give Luke a big funeril as big as from f75 to $100 '11 buy; yes." Luke's was indeed a grand funeral for East Village. There was some """rUng and smil ing over the patent-fact that the "new cemetery-foils" bad got the better of old Luke at last, and there were some bidden winks over the fervid eloquence of the Rev. Mr. Scrooby as be praised the high character of the de reastd encomiums better fitted, perhaps, to the last fortnightof hk life than the previous ave-and-eighty years. But the layd was on head, and Its narrow repertoire, uiough con taining no funeral music, gave the greatest sstaaaction Imagtonahle Was it not auspi ctoat to open the new cemetery with the tune "John Browns Body," followed, between prayers, by "The Star Spangled BannerF Cartes.

Pereelsia at Sevres Teadra aad Pate Workers as Men ef Great A TlMBXaalasa French porcelain proper k the result of a lkt very made early ia the Eighteenth cen tury by one Louis Potent, a poor faience maker of Rouen, and k a preparation of mineral salts, mostly those of soda aad silica, which, properly compounded, may be worked into the stiff dough required for the atost sow plicated and delicate molding. It k only since the discovery aad wide applica tion of the artificial material that science has basal hraoorht .ta htmr unna th natural . - Tr-' - - ! prouuet of kaolin, and carried its manufact- ure to a scale of perfection which permits it to ve im its owa special proviacs with im ssaetkaaeraamgile and delicate compeer. It will that be seen that two distinct spe cies of .raw material are in use by the na- i tional manufactory of Sevres, aad it may be further explained that the terms pate tendre and pate dur, meaning "soft and bard paste," refer to the main contrast between the two j varieties of porcelain indicated, inasmuch as . the artificial product is, by its extreme fra gility, incapable of service in. the gigantic presentation pieces, such as, of the natural ; earth, have given the establishment its great est renown. If confined by its great delicacy to tbe evolution of articles of small dimen sion the finer pate has still its claims to supe riority, for the colors and enameling applied to it when in the furnace so melt together and form part of the solid fabric as to create a iimpioity, soitness ana brilliancy or glax- I ing absolutely unrivaled. The process of manufacture of costly vases and other forms turned out of the workshops : at Sevres differs only in the sublime decree ' i . to which has been raised tbe quality of art, material and mechanism employed, from the ' operations of the most primitive potters of I antiquity, and exactly the same succession of movements must be followed. A mast of prepared plaster is placed by the first oper ator upon his revolving table or wheel, to which be gives rapid motion by means of a treadle. While uiider the pressure of hk naked hands the lump gradually assumes a succession of meaningless forms which rise and fall, spread, contract, broaden or length en in tarn until thoroughly kneaded into the proper consistency for the final effort When in the judgment of the operator the right moment has arrived, the careless play of hk nngers is arrested into a more decided pres sure, and from the shapeless pile rises as if by magic the outline of a vase or urn in one of the countless varieties to which art gives license. Tint TOUCHES THAT TxXX. When the piece has assumed a clean and definite form the motion of the wheel k quickened, and with a series of deft and skill ful touches the operator follows carefully within and without the delicate curves of hk sketch, which he accentuates and deepens until, without further doubt as to its iden tity, the thus far completed work stands ready for treatment at the hands of artists possessing no mean reputation. Brought to this point, the "vase," we will my, is still oa the table upon which it took definite form, laid aside for several days, during which a considerable amount of moisture k allowed to evaporate, It k then passed over to other ii ntjuta, waopbteeitapoaaiiotsMwikBcrlp-tioa-of revolving table, which, although far different from that used in wood working, k practically a lathe, for the treatment to which the vase is now subjected is that of calipers, which effectively demonstrate any unevennesB, and a series of cutting took which are employed in emptying the interior and smoothing every part, as well as in sharpen ing the outlines of the rim and borders. Leaving the bands of these latter ministers, the object has sawimed the precise form which, short of subsequent ornamentation, will characterise the finished piece. While the operations attending the production of this first ebauche, or "sketch," as it k called, are apparently quite simple, their perform ance requires a steadiness of hand and con summate skill on the part of the worker which few are qualified to give. The modelinc having been completed to full satisfaction, the process of "mi'Hr.g b) now in order, for which purpose the prepared sketch is carefully sliced into as many pieces as there are to be prominent or protruding parts to the completed vase, and each of these is in turn treated to a coating of plastic material, which when hardened and removed is to form a section of the final "ntrrr All being joined in place and firmly braced, the pate, be it of whatever variety, k reduced by the addition of water to a thin liquid, which in the technicality of the manufactory k called barbotine, and the object cast without further ado. This, however, k mainly in the case of small articles. For the molding of pieces of great dimensions, -the manufactory of Sevres employs several processes, which aid in the compression of the liquid beyond the possi bility of flaws or bubbles. Of these the two principal are by means of compressed air and a method of pouring the fluid in a vacuum, without which the obtainment of some of the gigantic pieces made there would be impossible.

In close proximity to the shops where tbe foregoing processes take place are the ateliers of tbe artists, charged with the correction of all imperfections and with the mnrUitng of tbe various ornaments which it k their basi ness to join to tbe main body of tbe work at the proper stage.

The Ho n. ChilL. Houses of varying pretensions border the Alameda behind the trees. At its upper end tlie streets of the town are reached, and beauty yields to commerce. The streets are roughly paved and dirty; the houses, painted wliite or of pale tints, are plain and rectangular, their smooth walls broken only by light verandas be fore the upper windows and by the nag staffs projecting over every door. The shops are poor. But the street scenes are interesting enougii.

Lighter horse drawn carts and shabby Iiackney coaches pass by, but very few respectable private car riages are seen. Outside a saddler's shop stands the picturesque figure of a "Hu aso," mounted on a small but strong and spirited horse. The "huaso" is a distinctive personage of ChflL answering somewhat to the guacho of eastern South America. He spends his life mounted on bis horse, which he manages with consummate skill, bis occupation when he has one usually being, cattle driving on the "liaciendas, or farms, of the country.

Early ttagyelnesiilaa Pliny speaks of his great work on nat ural history in thirty-seven books as an encyclopedia. Quintilian, Galen, Vitru vius and Zonaras apply the term to the "doctrinarian omnium disciplina." The word was introduced into English in the Sixteenth century by Sir Thomas Elyot, who speaks of "the world of science and circle of doctrine, wbiche is in one word of greke Encyclopaedia. But the Middle Ages had their encyclopedias also, the greatest of which was the "Speculum Mundi" of Vincent de Beauvais, who was lector or librarian to St Louis, in the Thirteenth century. It was reprinted in four folio volumes as late as 1624 by the Benedictines of Arras. We pass over a number of similar. works to which the revival' of bmrniijg in the Sixteenth century gave birth, all of them having been frequently reprinted and in general use, until we arrive in the Seventeenth century at the biatorical dictionaries of Moreri and Bayle, which still retain their place in our libraries. The first alpliabetical encyclopedia in English was the work of John Harris, a London clergyman, who was secretary of tlie Royal society and a friend of New ton. But this "Lexicon Teclinicum was superseded by ChuuibenT Universal Dictionary, which was tlie uioet popular book of reference of tiu Eighteenth cen tury. Mr. Lyons mentions that Abra ham Rees produced an enlarged edition of this work in 1788. but lie fails to do justice to tlie far' more important and complete publication known as "Rees Cyclopedia, which belongs to the earlier yearn of the present century, and is still in iiuuiv respect a book of much utility and value.
