A HEATHEN CHINEE.-An unusual tit-bit is
now going the rounds of fashionable gossin
says the New York Star relating to The
strange fancy Of an uptown belle for verita-
Bile heather Chinee'
The young lady in question is an exceedingly
stylish brunette, who has been splendidly edu
Gated at the Georgetown Convent, where she
graduated about year ago. Since that time
sue mas oeen the sole mistress of her fathers
Hill. ''" NeAf MURRAY
The young lady is motherless and an onlv
child. She had been INDUCED In every whim
by her fond father, who is immensely proud of
hls daughters beauty and accomplishments. s.
about SIX months ago the father took into the
hIousehold as butler or steward remarkably
clever and intelligent Chinamap s'Cat-Tke
dreamy eyed, yellow, and slim," the new but,
Ter performed his duties admirably 1t was
not long, however, before the almond ewes of
the Asiatie and the parking orbs of his beam
tltul mistress interchanged many glances of ad-
mlratlon whenever the duties of the household
brought them together In consultation.
Long and more frequent became their inter-
views. More and more interested were thew in
the household accounts and-with each otbor
The servants whispered among themselves
about the strange intimacy between their mis-
tress and that heather Chnee, whose smile
was so child-like and bland'' About two
weeks ago the father came home unexpectedlv
and, entering the library suddenly, was horror,
struck at the sig ght Of his lovely daughter in the
arms ar . OF the loving Celestial The way that
ne went tor that heather Chinee would have
gladdened the heart of Mr.. William Nve
could he have witnessed the scene that en-,
sued.
In vain the daughter cried and pleaded her
love, avowing her determination to marry him.
1t only added fuel to the fame of wrath CON
suming his fathers heart. John was forciblv
convinced of the necessity of an immediate de-
parture, not only from the house, but from
new ..sNr = York also. Beautifully supplied with
ing China, leaving his lovely and loving bru-
nette, surrounded by watchfu eyes, to mourn
the loss Of her Mongolian lover, and to await
with resignation the coming man."

: GULLBILTTY.-Somew weeks since a gentle
man of Norfolk, Virginia, lost a valuable ring,
which he priced very highly, and which he sup
posed to be stolen. After having exhausted
every effort to find it, he consulted fortune
teller, who told him that the ring had not been
stolen, but had been dropped into the food of
fine calf which he owned and had been swal-
lowed by the animal. Thinking the tale a
and its stomach searched, when 10 there was
no ring to be found The family of the gem
tleman have since luxuriated on veal which,
taking the price at which the calf "a highly i'm
proved breed could have been sold for as
standard, must have been worth at least $l.5O
per pound.

converts in Bedford and Franklin. We learn
that for several years Mormon missionary has

Bedford will soon follow. These families were
induced to emigrate by the prophecy of one

Law-Lawyers-and Publishers.

The client does not bring his suit except by
means OF lawyer. He may be his own law
yer and thus 'have fool for CLIENT but he
don't know how to draw the papers.
lie pays the lawyer say $40 fee in small
case and 500 in larger case.
1t he gains his suit the law taxes the defen-
dant 50 80 attorneys fee," which helps to
pay the lawyers fee Of $40.
The clients agent or attorney employs pub
Usher to advertise legal notices; some at 81. so
and larger ones at $l5 or $50.
Ii the suit is gained, the law allows the plain-
tn to get So costs which helps to pay the pub
Usher fee
If the suit is lost, the lawyer and publisher
must be paid their regular fees by the unfor-
tunate client. Just as if he buys five pounds
OF sugar, soap, &C., and loses them, he must
pay for them.
Again, the law has no power or right to fix
lawyers fee and say he must take only 50 so
In all cases-large or SMALL whether involving
$500 or $50. What howl the bars, young
and old, would utter at such claim or such an
attempt to restrict their charges.
Well, the law has no power or right to fix q
publishers charge and say be must take the
same for all legal advertisements, large or
small, and that he must take S. for what costs
him 81, and S. for what costs him $l2 or SIS.
Besides, In sending legal advertisement to
publisher does the attorney say, advance
the cash for paper, labor, ink, type machinery,
&C., to help me and my client to begin our
suit, charge us your cash rates, Tor less) and
then wait few years until the suit is decided
and perhaps lose it altogether by attorneys
neglect or clients insolvency." Is that rioIt?
Surely, If you hire ladder, pay for it, Ii you
ask for printing to be done, pay for it at once,
as the publisher has to pay cash to accommo-
date you.-FTed Nea0S.

The captain of one Of the largest steam boats
running on the Potomac was astonished one
day lately as his boat touched the landing at
one of the riverside watering places not a
great distance from Washington, to see all the
guests assembled with their baggage ready to
take passage for the city. In making inquiries
as to the cause Of this general exodus he soon
discovered that thereby hung tale. A cats.
1t appears the fare at the hotel had disagreed
with the boarders, and not satisfied with COM
planning they took French leave. A batch of
dough had been prepared for the oven and
placed on a table. A playful kitten thought it
would be nice to run over it, it looked so
snowy, warm, and tempting Kitty tried it
and soon found her delicate little feet sinking
In the dough. She struggled to escape, and
like Governor Morton in the stolen treaty bus
mess only struggled to sink deep until this
youthful cat disappeared entirely, and so like
young Lochinvar went into the yeast She
never rose again but the bread did. 1t closed
over this unfortunate specimen, not leaving a
hair apparent. Cooky of course was not aware
that instead of loaf of bread she had kitten
dumping and put the mass into the oven and
baked it. When the bread was opened at
breakfast next morning the birds did not begin
to sing but the boarders did. They fairly
howled with wrath. They knew that there
had been family of kittens, and as hash had
been served for breakfast before this extraor-
dlnary loaf was opened the conclusion was nat
ural that the other part of the family had gone
into the hash and down their throats. They
were first taken with sea-sickness, next with
inconsistencies, and then ensued a general pack
ing up. The fashionable summer resort was
left with no inhabitants but the cook and the
bar-keeper and what remained of the family

Better than tongue can tell,
How, like fairy bell
Ringing its silvery knell

Turning the giant wheel
Whirling the rapid reel,
Floating the vessels keel,

Hearts of affection to meet again naHerl -
Children and mother.

Many loved one from arms of her lover; -

Under the bridges arch,
Sweeping majestic, and holding thy breath,
