Nash, relate some OF your experiences. She
lectures, Sister Blankman."
"Go on, Sister Nash; don't be bashful." And
with alternate encouragement to Sister Nash,
and little explanatory phrases to me, he worked
the company into fever Of anxiety to shear all
about it." The result was, ct course, a dead
failure, succeeding an awful pause. Poor Nash
seemed all net and the wide, cotton bObbin-
collar, the old-fashiOned knitten mitts without
fingers, the open-wOrk stockings, and the big,

non-cOmmittal. Mrs. Moshier, who prided her
self on her musical abilities, had the air OF q
hussar, and with lOud-yOiced cearseness quite
silenced the piping Of Mrs. Bradcourt. who, l
afterward ascertained, had planned this visit,
by way of celebrating the ninth anniversary OF
her yedding-day, bringing with her Charlotte
other six children to take care of themselves.
Mrs. Murray informed me that Judge Slocum
had been solicited to name the twins; and as
the Bradc0urts had sguatted on his land, she
supposed he had wTeaked his vegeance one
their defenseless heads in these names. Fa-
miliarly, they were Cord and Cinema and were
by NO means cherubs. A thin, little woman

Niles was never more conspicuous than In har-
monizing the elements which should have
failed to assimulate, for my memory would re-
cur to the last charming evening we had spent
in San Francisco. But the ladies exerted them
selves much to make me feel at homo rs
though 1 we're the guest; and when supper-time
came, to my great surprise, they left the min-
lister alone, and, following me into the kitchen,
'sot' the table, broiled the chickens, cut the
cake, ETC.; Wo Sin standing with open mouth to
watch them, saving to me: " What for 50 much
woman come himlkitchen? You no sabe eo0k!"
The minister asked an elaborate blessing, and
mobbed up his tears with big bandanna hand
kerchief, while Chench made dabs at the cot
tage cheese, and Cord beat tattoo on my best
china with q spoon. Phebe Nash queried
whether the ointment on them chickens was
made out of butter or lard. Mrs. Bradc0urt
was 70 solicitous to cram the twins, lat between
her Intermittent cups of tea she chewed up
sponge-cake, and fed them pigeon-wise. And

turned, for he had requested me not to wait for
him.

TIE EUROPEAN WAR News Dispatches
from Luxembourg and London state that
great battle took place on Sunday between the
armies of Marshal McMahon and the Crown
Prince. The Luxembourg dispatch assigns the
victory to McMahon, while that from London
states that the battle was still progressing and
was undecided. A Brussels dispatch cx-
presses the opinion that the Prussians are
making flank movement on MoMahon, as they
did on Bazaine; that they have changed the
direction Of their march to Paris, aud iostead
of going west they are going north, the inten-
ton being to form a junction with the Prussan
iorce advancing from Luueville, the united
armies to fall upon McMahor, destroy his
army, and then march on Paris. Sixty thou
sand troops from Paris are reported to have
passed Scissors on their way to Join AlcMahon.
They are described as being full Of spirit and
confidence. A telegram from London says
that the Emperor's headquarters are at You
ziers, and that the French advance had repulsed
the Prussians at AttigDy, few miles north
west OF Vouziers.

ONE OF STEPHEN GIRARD's VESSELS
There is at present lying at one of the ship
yards in New Bedford, Conn., a vessel under
going repairs. the history Of which will prove
interesting. She is a remarkable vessel. Built
at Philadelphia in 1901 by the celebrated mer-
chant, Stephen Girard, she was purchased
about forty years ago by the late George How
Iand, o. New Bedford, and has since been EN-
poyed in the whale fishery. Some twenty
five years ago her live oak top was removed by
the father Of her present owners, George and
Matthew Howland, and now they are putting
new plank on her bottom, removing her orig
nal plank, which has stood the wear Of nearly
seventy years. The plank we're fastened by
three eighth inch wrought copper spikes, and
these, between wind and water, were worn some
times to mere thread !; the wood had decayed
about he treenaii holes, and in some cases the
seams had become somewhat hollow. But the
white oak timbcrs beneath are as sound as the
dSy the frame was set up, and put together in
a manner which excited the admiration of the
best shipwrights. The joints are all perfect,
tie floor timbers moulded some twenty inches
deem. and the timbers lap much more than in
modern built vessels, giving her much greater
strength. The model of the Rosseau might
be improved, but save in this regard she is
equal. and in many respects superior, to most
vessels now constructed.
In former days the Rosseau was loaded Of
ten at, and sailed from, this port,
