Tho Story Of a Lost VIII.

The Detroit Free Press says that
two or three months ago J. Ro" ell,
the furniture dealer OH Michigan
avenue, set about ovcrhauling a
desk filled with old papers-papers
which had been accumulating on his
hands for several years, until he
could scarcely say where or how he
got the most of them. After throw
in. away a bushel or more of the
documents, he came upon paper
sealed and tied with red tape. He
could not remember having seen it
before, and was amazed when he
broke the seals and read: "Last
will and testament of Israel Whit
worth" Getting further down he
found that the paper was nine years
old, and that the will gave to "Mar-
garet Davis, my sister, or her chill
dren, the Gordon farm, situated
two and one-half miles from st. JOS
eph, Mo-, together with all live
stock and farming utensils; further,
the sum of $4,000 in bank in st.
Joseph unless l shall have with
drawn iD, my gold watch, my
household furniture, and the one
halt Of what my house in St. Joseph
may bring at private sale"
So read the will as far as his els
ter and her kin were concerned, and
then Whitworth made bequests to
several other relatives. The will
was daten "Detroit, August, 10,
ls83." 1t occurred to Mr.. Rowell
that the " i'll might be OF some ac'
count to some one, and he wrote "a

not having been able to keep his
promise to go down to them. You
may believe he took good care not
to inform the father Of the real rea
son that had prevented him from
paying his duties to his betrothed.
The red-faced man, however, had
no intention of breaking off his mar
riage, until he was accosted one
morning in the streets of Marseilles
by the mustached gentleman, who
asked if he still persisted in his in
tention to marry the young lady.
"Certainly," was the reply.
"Then," said the other, "if you
want to reach her hand you will
have to mount first on my dead body,
and secondly, on the dead body of
the lieutenant. Are you prepared
to scale these fortresses?"
"Certainly not"
"Then 60 home; write to the la
dy's father that circumstances COM
pei you to abandon your promise to
wed her. ! shall know by The day
after tomorrow r. that letter has
been written. If yes, will be your
friend and help you, rs l have help.
ed the lieutenant, in any honorable
love scheme you may choose to en-
ter upon; if no, be prepared to meet
me in the evening""
The letter was written, and six
months after tile young lady was
married to the lieutenant.

A White Hair.

The Paris correspondent of the
New York World tells the follow
ing: AS city Paris is "dreadfully"
quiet. Nobody makes any noise in
the streets except the draymcn
cracking their WHIPS. There are
no hand-organs, no curbstone mon
key shows, no tangling of horses
and carriages, no screeching, no
shouting-everything is systematic,
mechanical and solemn. An over
whelming sense of propriety lies
thick in the very air. Nobody
laughs aloud in the street but Amer
cans; nobody violates the laws of
taste but the English. At the pres
ent moment Partisan society is cha
otic. 1t has neither head, end, nor
middle. There is no Nine. de Staels,
no Nine. Recamiers or Delphinc
Gays to ccntralize society. One
cause for this disunity may be due
to the lack Of a fireside; another to
the fact of smoking. One rarely
sees fire in French parlor. There
is one in madame's room, which is
her bedroom, and around that the
family gathers; such portion of it
as may not be smoking the evening
away in a clnb-room or restaurant.

Every lady has her reception day,
which is a grand economy, the same
set of candles doing for large com.
pany as well as for a small one; and
the larger the company the more
flattered is the grand dame. But to
suppose from this state of affairs
that French women have little or no
influence upon national affairs is to
make Il wrong inference. Collec-
lively they WELD an immense polit-
ical influence. Individually nobody
hears of them. AS patriots they
are almost without parallel. TO
hear French woman glorify France
and vilify its enemies is to feel your
own blood tingle. l heard, only the
ether day, of an incident quite apro-
pos to this. A French lady, who
married a German baron some fif-
teen years ago, and who lives at
Berlin in style befitting her wealth
and rank, had at dinner not long ago
some fifteen or twenty Prlssians
eeated around her table. Notwith-
standing her marriage she had re-
mained French at heart. In the
course Of conversation the Prussians
began to bewail Paris, poor Paris,
which was no longer Paris, and to
predict that in ten years Berlin
would be the capital of the world.
She listened angrily, until no longer
being able to withhold her indigna-
tion she freed her mind to the effect
that Paris was Paris yet, would al
ways be Paris, the most brilliant,
most attractive, most civilized and
artistic city in the world. More
over, she would lay wager that
her Prussian friends might select
the most ugly and the NEST insig-
niticant thing they might find, and
Paris would make of it an object of
beauty, such as Berlin would not
dare to attempt. The wager was
accepted, and the next day the lady
received Il small box, which upon
opening she found to contain sim
gle white hair. What could be
! made of one white hair? She did
not know; but concealing her en-
barrassment, she sent the hair to
Paris accompanied by letter Civ
ing an account of the wager, the cir
cumstances, etc. In due course of
time she received the box back from
Paris. And what think YOU Paris
had made of the white hair? 1t had
been beautifully inclosed in an open
trench Of gold, which crossed me-
dallion surrounded with brilliants.
At the top of the medallion the Prus-
sian eagle in black enamel, with
wings extended, held the white hair
in its claws. Then suspended from
the hair was little escutcheon in
white enamel bearing this inscrip-
ton: "Alsace and Lorraine. You
hold them only by hair" 1t is
not very probable that the Prussians
were eager for another bet.

Mrs. Davis, directing the letter to

Mrs. Davis, directing the letter to
st. Joseph, Mo. In about two
weeks he received reply from her,
dated at Weston, same State, his
letter having been forwarded to
that place. She stated that her
brother had been dead nearly eight
years, and that she had never known
ofa will. The property had been
divided between four near relatives
of the deceased, or should have
been, but three of them had cheated
her out of most Of what fell to her
in dividing up. She further stated
that her brother had a cousin in De-
troit years ago, and that he was in
this city on a visit, about the date
of the will. The Cousins name was
signed as one OF the witnesses, and
Mr.. Johnson, now in Cincinnati,
was the other witness. Rowell sent
on the will and Friday last he re-
ceivcd grateful letter from the
woman, who said that the will had
been admitted to probate there, Me
witnesses called on, and that she
had been put in possession of near
ly $4,000 through his finding the
will. She cautioned him to look
out for an express package and will
probably send him something hand
some. The puzzling thing Of the
whole is that Rowell can't tell when
or where he got the will, nor imag-
inc how the deceased came to leave
it where it would fall into the hands
of stranger. Mr.. Whitworth
might have lost it, or left it where
he could not find it, and finally con-
cluded that it was destroyed, and
for reasons satisfactory to himself
did not make another will. The
case is very curious one, but Row
ell has the letters to prove that it is
4 true one.

Ten Thousand Dollars for n Dinner,

One of the greatest pieces of ex-
travagance on record in this coun-
try is described by New York COR
respondent of the Boston Transcript.
1t occurred in the shape of private
dinner at Delmonico's. 4 wealthy
German importer, who has retired
from business, and was about to sail
for Europe, decided, before leaving
America, to invite his friends to a
dinner. Covers were ordered for
seventy-four guests, and carte
Blanche was given to Delmonico for
the dinner. The large banquet hall
Of that establishment was secured
the same hall where the dinners to
Dickens and TYndall were given
at the rate of $l5 ticket. For near
ly week the employees of belmont
co were engaged in preparing for
this dinner. A table twcnty-four
feet wide, extending the whole
length of the room, was constructed.
In the center Of it an artificial pond
was made, with a fountain, while
around the fountain live swans were
floating. OF course the pond was
Gagged over. The center Of the table
was banked with flowers, from the
waters edge; at 4 cost of over S3,-
900. Perfume fountains were con
structed in various parts Of the tn
Bile, and to add to the intoxication
of the senses, Berstein's full band
of thirty-tive pieces was engaged to
furnish the music. The dinner com
menced at 8 p. m., and continued
couple OF hours, after which dane
ing took place until midnight, when
the dinner, or supper, rs it was then
called, was resumed for an hour or
two, followed by dancing until 4
o'clock in the morning. The Dill
for this dinner amounted to just
$4,000.

THE CHILDLESS MOTHER.

lay my tasks down one by one,
sit in the silence In twilight's grace,
Out of It's shadow, soft and dun,
Steals like star my baby's face.
Mecking cold are the worlds poor joys,
How poor to me all its pOmPs and pride!
In my lap lay the baby's Idle toys,
In this very room the baby died.
will shut these broken toys away
Under the lid where they mutely bide;
I will smile in the face OF the noisy day,
just as II baby never died.
will take up my work once more,
As II had never laid it down;
Who will dream that ever wore
MotherhOOd's fine and holy crowns
Who will deem my life ever bore
Fruit the sweeter in grief and pain!
The fitting smile that the baby wore,
Outraged the light of the loftiest brain.
I'll meet the man in the worlds rude din
Who hath outlived his mothers kiss,
Who hath fOrsaken her love for sin.--
will be spared her pang N this.
Mans way is hard and sore beset;
Many must fall, but few can win.
Thanks, dear Shepherd! My lamb Is safe,
Safe from sorrow and safe from sin.
Nevertheless the way ia long,
And tears leap up in the light of the sun!
I'd give my world for a cradle-sOng,
And a kiss from baby-onlv one.

Women and Hens.

When a woman has a hen to drive
into the coop she takes hold of her
hoops with both hands, and shakes
them quietly toward the delinquent,
and say, "Shew! there" The hen
takes one look ut the object to make
sure that it is Il woman, and then
stalks majestically into the coop.
a man don't do that way. He goes
out doors and says, "its singular
that nobody can drive hen but
myself" and picking up a stick Of
wood, hurls it at the offending BIZ
ped, and observes, "Get in there
you thiei." The hen Immediately
loses her reason, and dashes for the
other end of the yard. The man
traightway dashes after her. She
comes back with her head down,
her wings out, followed by an as
sortment of stove wood, fruit cans,
coal clinkers, with a much putting
and very mad man in the rear.
Then she skins up on the stoop,
"''N' VIZ Oat OfGI - iSHtS VI WV,
and around the house, all the while
talking as only an excited hen can
talk, and all the while followed by
things convenient for handling, and
by n man whose coat is on the saw
buck, and whose hat is on the
ground, whose perspiration and
profanity have no limit. BY this
time the other hens have come to
take a hand in the debate, and help
dodge the missiles-and the man
says every hen on the place shall be
sold in the morning, puts on his
things and goes down street, the
woman dons her hoops, and has
every one of those hens housed and
contented in two minutes, and the
only sound heard on the premises is
the hammering by the oldest boy
as he mends the broken pickets.-
