A correspondent of tlio Sacramento

ilifliilniu'o tlio rehUIo'i of this Into story
of country life. It was told inn under
plodjO's of tlio moat solemn confidence.
Thureforn , 1 can only K'IVO tlio incident * ,
thu immns 1 must suppress. Indeed , it
would be unfair to tlio lady and gentleman -
man concerned to luy thnir iduntity bare
before a cold and unsympathetic public.
They arc enjrajrcd. They will bo mar
ried shortly.
Well , the scene is laid in a country
house between San Francisco and i\lay-
licld. To the country house came re
cently a charming young widow , fortune
nmplu , and among the guests at the hos
pitable mansion was John Smith , which
is about as unlike his name as itnythln
else I can now think of. I will call tlio
widow Elaine , for the convenience of my
fctory. Tlio days pass pleasantlyenoujih

come down by the evening tram , and are
met by the ladius , who drive them home.

hollowed out from a cluster of trues , anil
buried in a mass of mossy drapery.
Witter lilies hiivo spread their round
leaves on the surface , and .1 plaster cast
of Cupid stands on the margin. This
poor Cupid is one-armed , unit he has ,
moreover , lost his right eye.
A MIDXIHJIT HATH.
The weather this week has been trop
ical. Hot as it has been in town , in the
low l.vini { , breeze-forsaken Santa Clara
valley , ii lias been stilling. So thought
Elainu as , after a vain endea\ to sloop ,
Blie looked at her watch and found it was
after midnight. For a good hour tlio
liouso had been buried in sleep. I was
dark for the moon had not yet arisen.
Tlio widow stepped out on the pia//.a.
She \vasiiilo | at her case , a little languid ,
n little stilled with the heat , but longing
for a dip in the pool. It was but a few
do/.eii yards from the house. The widow
was adventurous. So muttering "hero
goes , " in less than five minuted she stood
undressed upon tlio bank. She tested
the water with her foot , when suddenly
the moon rose behind the trees , and lit
up a wliolo corner of the pool. Then
Elaine in a terrible fright perceived on
the surface of the sheet ot water a head
looking at her from the corner illumi
nated by the moon. She stilled a scream ,
niul immediately with a mndcst instinct
Jot herself glide into the water up to her
ohin , and crossed her arms as if to en
velope her heaving bosom in the pool as
] n a veil , and demanded in a trembling
voice : "Who is there ? What are you
doing there 1"
"It is I , John Smith , " was tlio reply.
"I am sure I beg your pardon , but I came
out for a bath , the night was so warm ,
and I never dreamed tii.it anyone else ,
particularly a ludy , would be inspired
with thosamo idea. "
A formidable silence ensued. On the
pheot of water there was no longer any
motion except the undulations which en
larged themselves round the shoulders of
Elaine , and ending in dyintr away on thu
chest of John Smith with a slight plash
ing. Ho quietly lifted his arms , and
made a gesture us if to take hold of an
overhanging willow branch , and lift him
self out of _ the water.
"Kciiiain where you are I command
you , " cried the widow in a torrilicd voice.
y'Got back into thu water , got back
quickly into the water. "
"But , my dear mudaino. " said the gen
tleman , re-entering tlio pool , " 1 have
been here for half an hour. "
AN KMUAltltASSINO I'MGIIT.
There was a moment's silenco. "That
docs not mutter , " said the widow at last ,
' ' 1 do not wish you to get out. "
, "Hut , " hazarded Smith , "if you were
lo turn your back "
"Mo , no ! do you not sen the moon ? "
It was a superb moon , and now fully lit
tip the whole basin , which shone like a
silver mirror in the black obscurity of
the trees. The widowhornlly perplexed ,
saw the plaster cupid smiling at her witli
an air of intelligence.
" "The moon , certainly , " murmured tlio
gentleman , "but if you were to turn your
back '
"No , no ! we will wait until the moon is
no longer there. Wo will soon bo in the
shade , " she added peacefully.
Smith wanted to protest but as ho
made use of gestures in speaking , and
thus lifed himself up from the water , the
widow began to utter a series of short
screams , so ho was obliged by politeness
to get back into the pool up to his chin.
The widow had thrown herself in among
the water llllies. When the freshness
of the water had restored her. she noticed
for the lir-st tinio that it was of a truly
shocking clearness. At the bottom she
could even perceive her naked feet. The
moon was also bathing , and literally roll
ing herself in the water. It was a bath
of liquid and transparent gold. The lady
set about covering herself under the
water with a gird In of tlio lilies , ( Jcntly
and by degrees she drew to her the large
roumfliiy leaves and manufactured out
of thorn n collerette for her neclc and
bosom. When olad. she felt more
tranquil. As for Smith , ho had ended by
taking the matter in a more .stocial man
ner. Aot having found a root oven to
scat himself on , ho romaincdon his knees ,
and in order not to have an altogether
ridiculous air with the water up to his
chin , lika a man losing in a colossal
barber's chair , ho engaged in conversation
'
sation with the widow'avoiding every
thing that could recall the embarrass
ment of their respective positions.
Then the widow , who watt commencing
to 'feel cold , rolleotcd that Smith must
have seen her while olio tarried on the
bank. This was simply terrible , only
shu had her doubts about the gravity of
the accident. It wua quite dark under
the trees , and besides , the moon had not
yet thrown its light there. Then she re-
momboreit how she had hold herself be
hind an oak trunk. That trunk must
have protected her. Hut really thin
Smith was an abominable man. She
hated him , and if his foot slipped and ho
was drowning , she would not lift a linger
to save him. Why , when ho had soon
her coming had ho not cried out to her
that ho was there- taking a bath. She
could not keep the question back.
Tray , Mr. Smith , " she said , "when
you heard me coining , why did you not
warn mo that this pool was already oc
cupied ? "
' Hut I did not know. I thought it
might have been Fred and upon my
word I was almost speechless from nerv
ousness. You were quite white. 1 thought
when yon came close , tlmt it was the
sleeping beauty returned again to this
globe. I was so frightened that 1 hail
not Kufllciont force left in mo to cry out. "
"Nonsense , " said the widow , smiling ,
"I assure you , it is a fact , " said Smith ,
earnestly. "Surely , Mrs. Elainci , you
know mo well enough to do me the jus
tice to believe that I would never inten
tionally place n lady in btich an embar
rassing position ,
"Well , well , lot us say no more about
it , Mr. Smith ; but gruvious heavens , if
anybody should happen to miss us from
the house and find uu hereI should never
hear the end of it. "
"I would drown first "
myself , , replied
the gentleman , gallantly.
At last the moon hid itself behind a
cloud , and the gentleman departed uudor
the cover of the friendly parkncss. I do
not KIIO-V how far the story got , but
when Smith ami the widow mot next
morning at the breakfast table , the shy
cmbarassmcnt of the lady was painfully
noticeable. Anyhow , there will bo n
wedding shortly , and let the gossips say
what thisy will , there was not one who
could not envy Mr. Smith his curious and
thrilling adventure.
THE IwrTptHEALERS.
Tnlcn oTSotnc Very Wonderful Cures.
Chicago Tribune : The mind-healers
actually succeeded in doing something
yesterday morning. Upon the report of
the committee on organization , Dr. C. It.
T < > cd , of New York , was elected perma
nent chairman. 1-lvo vice presidents
were elected , and Mrs. A. L. Lord was
chosen secretary , Mrs. Swart/ read a re
port from the programme committee ,
which contained notlilnir but a repetition
of the announcements of the hours of the
different meetings. IJr. Teed then read
a series of resolutions , which were
adopted , containing the declaration that
the organization should be known as the
Mental Science National Association , as
well as a great many aiinoucomenU that
they were metaphysicians ! that metaphy
sicians were metaphysicians ; that no
body but a metaphysician know what it
was to bo a metaphysician ; and that
metaphysicians would eventually cure all
the mental , moral and physical diseases
of the world.
Prof. Swart * , at 10:00 : o'clock , sprung a
resolution indorsing Mrs. Mary H. ( J.
Eddy and Dr. W. F. Evans of Boston , and
the trouble began. Everybody talked
for and against the resolution , the only
practical suggestion being one from Mrs
Swart/ , that these people should be i'l-
dorsed because they had put bread into
the mouths of hundreds by teaching them
how to work the niiml-curo scheme , and
that of another woman who wanted the
convention to take lire-minutes1 "meta
physical treatment" on the question.
The resolution was passed by a standing
vote of 12 to 11 , and then the members
were told that they could try this treat
ment if they wanted to.
The feature of tlio afternoon was the
attendance for the first time of a colored
metaphysician. The talk took its usual
scattering form. Dr. Wright held the
lloor until Swart/ grew jealous and called
out from tlio rear of the room : "Air.
President" Mrs. Lord was presiding
"can't wo hear from some one else soon ? "
This aroused the metaphysical ire of the
other doctor , and bo yielded the floor
\vitli the words : "This is tlio second
simo I have been insulted in this body.
I don't take an insult. When any one
uuls a thorn in me I pull it out and tnrust
it back. I haven't overstepped the time ,
and : is that party has never been inter
rupted hero , and I think it rather cheeky
for him to break on mo. " Uoth doctors
left the room by different doors , and
there is no report yet of mental science
bloodshed. Dr. lialdwiii lectured on the
gift of healing , and , prompted by ques
tions from the audience , gaid about one
in six of the human race were first-class
healers , and that the gift was confined tone
no temperament. He thought prayer in
creased the gift , but mind-cure was back
of all faith and prayer euro. Magnetic
healers were liable to take on disease ,
but the metaphysical scheme was safe
for the heeler in all respects.
A man in the roar of the audience asked
how ityas that so many metaphysicians ,
who claimed there was a cure for every
thing , had bald heads , graj hair , and bad
eye sight and hearing. The different
doctors kept on talking just the samebut
no direct tins wor was'given beyond a
statement from Dr. Crodier that disease
was tlio result of association and environ
ment. Miss Innian of Mississippi , knew
of a great many cures and called for pec-
sons who hnd been cured to testify. Mr.
Uamlcll , who looks to be anything but a
well man. had got rid of a kidney trouble
and Dr. Teed liud cured a man who im
agined that iiis foot was cutoff. There
was a cut of an ax which had severed the
tendon of the archillcs. Ho stuck the
ends of the tendon together and without
any inflammation of suppuration the
wound healed up and that foot was as
good as the other.
Then there was a regular contest in
telling stories of wonderful euros by the
doctors. Marston told of a man whoshot
himself clear through the body twice.
His wife was a metaphysician and began
treating him. She called to him , "Thoro
istno death , John. You cannot die , " and
held him until the doctors came and re
moved the bullets from his backalthough
she had already succeeded in stopping
the hemorrhage. Ho said ho had no de
sire to live , but with the help of the sur
geons , who came every day for live days ,
but gave no niedicine.tlie man recovered.
Ono ball went through his lungs , and hn
might have lived without metaphysical
treatment. The plain surgeons said he
had one chance in nine. The speaker
had never healed n case of consumption
in its last stages , but ho could tell as big
stories as any of themand did not believe
that medicine in human hands ever cured
w disease.
Itoyal Academy Scandal * .
Magazine of Art for October : The very
first scandal of any moment occurred
very shortly after tlio incorporation of
tlio Academy in 1775. This was tlio case
of Sir Hobcrt Strange , which has been
touched upon in an earlier article. In Sir
( then Mr. ) Robert Strangc's pamphlet ,
"An Knquiry into the Hiso of the Itoyal
Academy , ' ! is inserted a letter to the carl
of Bute ho who was burned in elllgy at
Temple Bar , Although this letter has
no apparent connection with the sarcas
tic little history of the origin of the
Academy which follows , it details -
tails certain happening ? that
wore probably closely associated
with the writer's sqtiabblo witli one
of the earliest hanging committees.
Uamsoy , who had painted a portrait of
the I'rinco of Wales , afterwards George
IV. , requested Strange to engrave it , on
the plea that the prince and the carl of
Unto would both bo gratified by his doing
so. Strange was at the time preparing
to start for Italy , and not wishing to delay -
lay his journey for the two years required
for tlio engraving of a full-length portrait
trait , ho declined unless it could be
shown to him that it was the nrinco's
own particular wish that ho should com
ply. Shortly afterwards William Cham
bers , the architect ho whoso nombro
Tlmmoo-sidopilo is in its stony acreage
not ututntely when its pilasters catcli the
eiimson gleam of the evening sun-
brought Strange a message that the
I'rinco of Wales was anxious ho should
engrave not only his highncss's own
portrait , but likewise that of Lord Hutu.
It was requested that ho should lay aside
every oilier engagement and engrave
Lord lUito's picture first. In IT turn for
this his royal highness , in his princely
generosity , would make the engraver a
present of a hundred guineas , and pat
ronize a Mibscription for copies of the
engravings. This did not Round
very promising ; but SI range was not
angry , attributing tiio meanness of the
oiler to the prince's ignorance of
the length of time required for engrav
ing two largo pictures. Chambers repre
sented the position to the prince , who
remarked that Strungu's reasons were
"both natural and just. " "But how
great was 1113" surprise , " exclaimed the
indignant engraver , "when a day or two
afterwards airiond of mum told mo that
ho had seen Mr. Itnrnstiy , who informed
him that ho had met Lord Bute , who had
said that the prince was so provoked at
ir.y refusal that iiu could not bear to hoar
my name mentioned , " Eventually Mr ,
Uylnnd engraved the portraits ,
which occupied him four years.
Ho was paid n hundred guineas
for making thr. drawings , and 50 n
quarter during the whole of the four
years , and received in addition the pro
ceeds of the sain of the prints , Strangn
made sovt-ral attempts not very digni
fied perhaps , but eminently natural on
the part of n man who feared tot > c
harmed in his profession by what was
perhaps n mere mystification to obtain
an explanation from Lord Bute ; but the
the door was always shut upon him , and
even the presentation of a set of impres
sions from some of the plates Strange en-
craved did not procure hi man interview
THE IVORY TRADE.
Interesting l-'ncTs ( itcnnett Hy an
American Consul in Knulnnil ,
_ Consul Webster , in a report on the
ShollU'ld cutlery trade , gives some curi
ous facts regarding tlio trade m ivory ,
It appears that great tusks of ivory oeea-
sionallv como to England from Siberia ,
but as tho.-o have been lying exposed for
centuries , and probably for many thous
ands of years , and often buried in ice.
the "nature" mis gone out of them and
they are not lit for the cutler's use. The
teeth of the walrus and hippopotamus
aru used in considerable quantity ,
and being of suitable size are used whole
for making expensive carved handles.
Ivory of the best quality comes from the
west coast of Africa under the names of
Cameroon , Angola and Gaboon ivory.
Tills Is brought down from the interior ,
and retains a larger proportion of the
"fat" or gelatine , from the fact , proba
bly , that it is more recently from the ani-
mill. In this state it is called "green"
ivory. It is more translucent , and not so
white as the Egyptian and other kinds ,
called "white" ivory , that nave been
lying a longer time and in a more
sandy region , and exposed to
the heat of the sun until the ani
mal matter has disappeared. The excel
lence of the "green" Ivory consists in its
greater toughness and its growing whiter
by ago instead of yellow , as is the case
with the whiter varieties.'ct buyers of
cutlery , through Ignorance of these qual
ities , usually prefer tlio whiter kinds ,
which on that account are more iir de
mand for the Sliellield trade , and have
more than doubled in price since 1871) ) .
The sales of ivory occur every three
months at London and Liverpool , and
sales are also held toalimited extent and
at irregular intervals at Rotterdam.
The consul states that there was in a
Sholliqld show room an African elephant's
tusk nine feet long , twenty-one inches in
girth and weighing 100 pounds. The
value of the tusk was WM , and it is said
that an animal large enough and strong
enough to carry such a pair would at
tract far more attention than Jumbo did.
In the nine years which ended with 1881
there were 0,280 tons of ivory imported
into Great Britain , and , as the number of
tusks is known , the average weight of
pairs of tusks can be ascertained. It is
a _ little under forty pounds each
pair. At this rate those imports
represent 'J97,01G pairs , and consequently
the same number Of elephants have cither
died long ago have been recently slaugh
tered to supply the demand of luxury in
nine years alone. "At this rate of de
struction , " says Mr. Webster , "it will bo
seen how rapidly this noble animal must
disappear tuiil how surely ivory will become -
come a thing of the past. There are ,
doubtless , largo quantities of ivory still
remaining in the interior of the African
continent ; but with tlio rapid advance of
civilized man and the temptation of in
creasing high prices these will soon bo
discovered and exhausted. "
