A San Francisco correspondent of the
Louisville CourieT-J ouy7sat writes: The
rusiest, brightest, most bewitching little
French woman travelled with Us from
Omaha to San Francisco. She could
speak NO word of English and could
speak NO French, 50 conversation was i'm
possible by ordinary methods, but we soon
fmprovised language, the vowels of
which were smiles and the consonants
mods and moti6ns. She never left the car
It the station, but drank wine and ate bis
cult alone in her dull corner, and after we
had iourneyed day or two ventured to
offer her some of the good things from
my lunch-basket, and one damp, chilly
merning ! brought her some hot coffee
derstood nothing of the musical CHATTER of
her French tongue, the thanks expressed
by the eloquent hands, the upward lifting
and sudden dropping of the eyelids, and
the warm blush that rose to her cheeks
and was lost in the dimples were enough.
When We reached Oakland she darted out
Of the car, and saw her weeping and
laughing In the arms of an elder sister.
Such kissing and hugging, such wild,
Witnessed The deepest joys Of our Anglo
Saxon race are often the quietest; and this
fiery, fmpassioned welcome was new to
me. Tbs sisters would separate few
steps and look at each other several sec
onds, and then rush into each others
arms and kiss and laugh and cry, and
when you would suppose the vehemence
Of the welcome was over they would dart
1t each other again. They flew apart and
together again at least dozen times, and
It was 30 comical . sight that thought
should die laughing at them; 1 did not
know I was weeping, too, until the chill
wind struck my face. When the happy
little women were ON the ferry and we
were SCANNING across the bay by twilight
offered my congratulations, and my fel-
low-Tsveler caught my hands and pressed
them, and kissed them Is though she were
sampling each particular finger, while the
older sister said in broken English:
Teresa is now from France; she comes
to me; she is 90 happy; she will travel no
more; she kisses the hands of the sweet
American, who is SO kind, and did give
the sweefmeats and the coffee. Can she
speak the name Of the ladyr' ] gave her
my card, which she kissed with a bewitch-
ing motion and an understandable upward
glance Of her dark eyes, and wrote in
queer little letters this name-Mlle. Teresa

Love.Feasts Of the Dunkers.

The Dunkers are bringing their love-
feasts of the season to q close. This relig-
ious denomination has large following
in number of counties of this State,
among them Dauphin, Lebanon and Lam
caster. The ceremonies of the Dunkers
are very interesting. Any person DESTROYS
of participating in the ceremonies of the
feetwashing and the Lords Supper is
welcomed, but when it comes to the sacra-
ment the Dunkers are close COMMITMENTS
and permit none but members of the
church to taste of the wine. Previously
to the supper comes the ceremony Of feet
washing, which, it should be remembered,
does not differ materially from that prac-
ticed by the Winebrennarians. 1t is not
an empty form, such as might be expected
by one who never witnessed it, but feet
washing in fact, in which all members
present take part, and such other persons
as choose may participate. The vessels
used for the purpose are common wash
tubs, which contain a sufficient quantity
of water for the purpose. The manner of
performing the ceremony is simple enough.
Brother Jones starts out with q tub and
towel, and, going to Brother Brown, the
latter's feet are both immersed and washed
by Brother Jones, who puts his hands into
and then wipes them thoroughly dry with
a towel. He then proceeds In q similar
manner to two or three others, when
another brother takes the tub and goes on
with the process, by which plan all par
ticipate, one relieving the other, the water
being thrown out and renewed frequently.
The sexes perform this duty as well as
that OF giving and receiving the kiss of
brotherly love separately. The brothers
wash feet only for the brothers, the sisters
performing the same service only for those
of their own sex. During the performance
Of feet-washIng one of the teachers dis
courses on the origin and significance of
the ceremony. After the feet washing has
been concluded all partake of the supper
prepared for the occasion, each one re-
ceiving share of the bread and meat and
dish OF soup. After all are satisfied the
sacrament is offered, with fermented wine.

Buying On Credit.

The practice of buying on credit the
necessary articles of the household is fatal
TO good economy. The housekeeper has
always to pay dearer when she does not
pay cash. The tradesman must have in
terest for his money, for a man will never,
in business community, be willing, and
is seldom able if he were willing, to for
go it. To the ordinary cash prices of the
article he therefore adds the interest which
may accrue during the time that credit is
allowed. This, however, is not all. There
must be a premium exacted by the dealer
for the risk he runs in trusting his goods
to that class of more or less dangerous
customers who never pay ready money.
Even the most honestly disposed of these
are often unsafe debtors, for they are gen.
orally such as are imprudent enough to
anticipate their incomes and to overrun
them in expenditures. The credit system,
moreover, is a temptation to unnecessary
purchases. There is sort of check in
the sight and touch of the hard won money
to the disposition to dispose of it lightly.
On the other hand there is something in
the facility of credit, removing, as it does,
the disagreeable necessity of payment to a
vague future, very seductive to the buyer,
who can crafty his love of possession
with a momentary sense, at any rate, that
its qualification costs him nothing. There
is no such cheap and cautious purchaser
as cash.-Erchdnge.

Something the Natter with the Plano.

A few days ago was over at Halls
CROSSROADS to sec a man named Parker
about some lime. After our business was
transacted Parker said:
81 got cheated in . mighty curious way
last week. sec in paper a picture of
"parlor organs" and as the price was
only seventy five dollars, thinks I, I'll git
one for Emeline to learn to play on. 30
sent up the money by mail, and after q
while down comes the pianner all boxed
up as nice as you ever saw. We got her
out and set her in the house, and al
though none of US knew how to play we
thought we'd see how she sounded any
way. Well, sir, struck them keys as
hard Is could, and it didn't make no
noise. Then Mrs. Parker she tried, and
Emeline tried, but we couldn't git the
least particle of music out of her.
at knowed well enough then I'd been
swindled, and that the reason why he sold
the machine so cheap was that she hadn't
no music anywheres inside of her. But I
Just thought I'd write to the man and see
what kind of . game he'd set up on me
before went up and had him arrested.
And what do you think he wrote back?
He sent word back: You blamed fool,
why don't You use the bellowsT Well,
you know, l didn't believe there was any
thing in it; knew he was just stufing
me, but Emellne she wanted TO try, SO i
went over and borrowed Mrs. Grimes
bellows, and blew them on the pianner
while Mrs. Parker hammered them keys.
But it was no use, of course. knew how
it would be. Won't play worth q cent;
Just the durndest swindle you ever saw.
But I'm going to be even with him. If I
don't git that money back I'll bang him
over the head anyway"
Then asked Mr.. Parker to show me
the machine, and sitting down at it I
filled the bellows with wind with my feet
and played q couple of tunes that knew.
Parker was wild with amazement and en-
thusiasm.
"How'n the nation did you do thatf
Why, she does play, don't sher Marian,
Emeline, come yer, quick, this yer
planners a-going all right, and, by Georgel
she's splendid"
Then 1 explained to him about the
bellows being operated by the pedals, and
he said:
"And that's what that hole down there's
for, is it? Well, now, would you believe
it, but, great Moses! do you know 1
thought that was hollered out SOS to let
the music get out into the arr Pm a
thousand times obleeged to you, and I'll
tell you what I'll do; I'll crushing to the
window and calling)-I say, Bill, send
Mr.. Adeler up four cart-loads of lime,
and don't charge him a cent for it."
Then Emeline turned in at the pianner,
and left to catch the train.-Maz AdeIsr,

1" Rum Down.,

This is an expression that we hear from
doctors when they are in doubt about
the nature of the disease of their patients.
The country seems to be filed with such
cases, and they are trying first one remedy
and then another, hoping in vain to find
relief. They generally have the following
symptoms: A general depression Of spirits,
in the head when rising up suddenly, foul
breath, with q bad taste in the mouth,
especially in the morning, pain in the sides
and back, urine scanty and high colored,
frequently voided with difficulty, frequent
headaches, distressed feeling at the pit OF
the stomach, food affording no nourishment.
The patient feels tired all the while, and
sleep affords but little rest. After time a
dry, hacking cough sets in, followed after .
time with expectoration, hands and feet cold
and clammy at times, q general wasting OF
the body. In such cases we need remedy
that will act upon the liver Kidneys, stomach
and blood at the same time, and when we
use such q remedy it affords relief. The
best article for this purpose is the sHAk 81

AN eloquent lawyer of Chicago not
long ago sought to enforce his appeal to
a high minded jury by sentiment from
Scripture. He did not know much
Scripture, but he felt tolerably safe in
touching upon the Commandments; so his
speech was something in this wise: On
that dreadful day when the tables of stone
were handed down TO Moses from on high,
amidst the thunders of Sinai, emblazoned
on them in letters of fire was the dread
full injunction: Lead us not into tempta-
ton" Strange TO say, not more than
one person in the courtroom seemed to
notice the inaccuracy; Judge, jury and
spectators were as solemn as mutes; and
to this day the eloquent lawyer does not
know the difference between the Ten Com
mandmepts and the Sermon on the
Hount.-ChicGg0 Tribune.

was: You got me in the way of it. Be-

your arms about my neck at three O'Clock
and say: Don't 60, darling, it is early
yet, but now if happen to stay out till

THE season for coughs and colds is rapidly
approaching, and everyone should be pre-
pared to check the first symptoms, as a
cough contracted between now and Christ
mas frequently lasts all winter. There is no
better remedy than Jotnson's Anodyne Lint

lungs it should be used internally and ex-
