"TwO-TEN." Mrs. Laura Curtis
Bullard tells story of the Baroness
Coutts, who, when shopping in
Paris, was passed from one depart
ment to another by the clerks, al
ways with the remark two ten. p
She was escorted from counter to
counter, and everywhere these ca
balistic words, "two-tea," were re-
peated by one clerk to another
Struck by the peculiarity OF this re-
frain, she asked the proprietor, as
she left the establishment, pray
what does two-ten mean? | notic-
ed each clerk said it TO the other i'm
your shop" "Oh, il is nOthing,"
he replied; "merely password they
are in the habit of eXchanging."-
Bat Miss COutts was not satisfied
with this explanation. So in the
evening, when the porter, young
boy, brought home her purchases,
after paying her bill, she said: my
boy, would you like to earn five
francs!" or course he had no OBJ
lection. "Tell me-" said the lady,
what does 'two-ten' mean? i will
give you five francs" "Why, don't
you know, ma'am?" said he, evil
dently amused at her ignorance

solved at last. All the clerks ofthe
TrOis Quarters had taken the rich

shop-lifter.

The Norfolk Journal has the fol-
lowing just observations on the re-
suit of the elections in Virginia.:
The election is over. The excite
ment is Subsiding. The return so
far assure us of decided COnserva-
tive victory in the State.
While the public interest through
out the Commonwealth was deep,
pervading, intense, the canvass was
conducted in good temper, and the
day of election, to the extent of our
advices, appears to have opened and
closed everywhere in peace and or
der.
Virginia has again nobly demon
strated her devotion to the great
principles which guarantee freedom
! to free people. She has again de-
clared in favor of protection to pro-
perty and labor, in favor of economy
and material progress, in favor of
harmony, industry and an advance
ment of the interests of all her citi-
| Zens.

Many people take no care of their

the end of it, and thus do the same
with time. Their best days they
throw away-let them run like sand

think they still have a countless
number of them 10 spend; but when
they find their days lowing rapidly
away, so that at last they have very
few left, then they viii at once make
a very wise use Of them; but un-
luckily they have by that time no
notice how 10 do it.-Gotskelf.
