She Wouldn't Speak to Him.

When a young Chicago man came down stairs the other morning he re- membered that his wife, who was pre- pairing breakfast, had not spoken to him when she got up, and so he cheerfully said: "Good morning, little lady"
 Not word came in reply.
 "Good morning." said he, again, in 8 higher key, thinking that she might not have heard him before. .-.
 Um-'m-'m," was all that escaped from her sealed lips, as she kept on with the work.
 "Why under the sun don't you an swer me l" he exclaimed, in surprise; "what's the matter9 What have I done to offend you9"
 "Um-'m-'m," was still the only sound elicited.
 "Look herei" then exclaimed the husband. as he jumped up and knocked over 9 cup of coffee; ''I don't swallow a mouthful of this breakfast until you tell me what's the matter"
 *'What's the matterY" echoed she, suddenly turning upon him with fash ing eyes. And then she continued: '" John Adell Smithson, the next time that I dream I see you kissing another woman, III will leave this house. boo

Paradise of Money Lenders.

The PdU MaU Gazette says India must be the paradise of money lenders. Some years ago Christian capitalist advanced the sum of e5 on the personal security of Eurasian coreligionist em- ployed as 8 writer in 8 government office. The interest was originally only seventy-fye per cent. per annum, but as nothing had been paid at the end of two years the debtor gave promissory note for the amount then due, and undertook to pay 12O per cent. for the future
 Three years went by without any pay ments being made, and then afresh capi- talizing operation was effected. About that time the debtors salary was in creased, and he at once set aside moie- ing his debt. In this he succeeded so perfectly that at the time of his death, 8 few years later, he owed no more than indeed than last August, Hindoo mild Hindoo for s4, being the balance due on sum of Es, the outcome in two years of an advance of @, the inter est being calculated at the rate of seven and one-half farthings per rupee per diem. These two cases illustrate the general poverty of India. and the in fnitesimal character of it's internal and, so to speak, popular trade. In some of the remote hill districts coined money is still regarded as curiosity to be worn about the person, business being con- ducted on the old principle of barter. It is not very surprising that in coun- try where every ryot is in debt, and where the interest on personal loans varies from seventy five to two hundred per cent, the land should be rapidly passing into the hands of money lenders and usurers. Though not matter for surprise, it is certainly matter for re-

Withdrawing Leisurely.

The Elko (Nev.) Independent tells the following: While travelling through Arizona in 1849 with an exploring party, we made our camp one evening near a canyon, the bottom of which was cover ed with fine sand that had drifted from the neighboring plains. While employ ed in arranging our camp, the botanist of the expedition, pr. B., wandered some distance in pursuit of plants. He returned shortly and reported that there were Indians near at hand. He was as cool as cucumber, and didn't show any sign of anxiety or alarm. Iu answer to our nasty inquiries, he replied that while he was engaged in examining @ fossil specimen he heard grunt behind him, and on looking around discovered an Indian who had seized his gun, which had been placed against rock. The Indian drew bead on him. and in retaliation he drew his revolver and sighted the Indian, retreating at the same time toward the canyon, which was close at hand. Neither fired. On reach ing the canyon he walked leisurely into camp. A party immediately set out to deter mine the possibility of danger, and discovered two Indians and Q squaw. After capturing them they examined the vicinity in which the doctor had met with his remarkable adventure. They found his footprints, which signifed a cautious retreat to the canyon. But alas l for the frailty of human nature; his footprints in the canyon were eight feet apart, by measurement, and not exactly indicative of the leisurely man. ner in which he had approached the camp. The doctor acknowledged the corn, and remarked that that was about as leisurely as he ever wished to walk under similar circumst 2nces.

Asiatic Doctors.

The first care of the Sart physician is to study your general appearance and ask you about your temperament. He has learned in the "Tukhpatul Mum
 iniu," the most common medical book here, that you must belong to one of four classes, and his treatment of your malady is governed accordingly. When he has combined your symptoms with your temperament, he will pull bag out of his pocket, or untie the scarf which serves him for girdle, and open an assortment of drugs in twisted bits of paper, perhaps tasting and smelling to find the right ones, and having chosen the proper medicine, will give you the usual directions about doses and diet. The medicaments employed by central Asiatic physicians are, in general, very simple, being in most part vegetable substances; but few animal matters and minerals being used. They are usually taken simply in the form of powders and decoctions, and when a mixed medi- cine is used, the physician delivers the substances to the patient and allows him to mix them for himself. This not only saves the physician trouble, but, in a certain way, soothes tho suspicious feel ings of the patient, who might imagine, in case he did not immediately improve, that he had been poisoned by the doc

Going Softly.

She makes no moan above her fade flowers, She will not vsinly strive against her lot, Patient she wears away ths slow, sad hours, AS if the ray they had were quite forgot; While stronger fingers snatch away the sword And lighter footsteps pass her on the ways, Yielding submissive to the stern award
 That said she must go softly all her days. She knows the pulse is beating quickly yet, She knows the dream is sweet and subtle
 still,
 That struggling from the cloud of past regret, Ready for oonfiiot live hope, joy and will; So soon, 80 soon to veil the eager eyes,
 To dull the throbbing ear to blame or
 praise, .a.s. So soon to crush rewakening sympathies, < And teach them she gees softly all her days. She will not speak or move beneath the doom, She knows she had her day and flung her
 cast
 The. loser scarce the laurel may assume, Nor evening think the monday glow can
 last. Only, oh, youth and love, as in your pride Of joyous triumph your gay notes you raise, Throw one kind glance and word where, ct your side,
 She creeps who must go softly all her days.

Tho Boy and the Hot Chestnuts.

A small urchin just large enough to wear pants, and probably with his first pair on with pockets, stepped up to Q street stand and purchased five cents worth of hot roast chestnuts. The chest nut vender, pitying his tender years, as- sisted his customer to empty the meas ure into his little pockets. Soon the nuts began to feel warm-they became uncomfortable-they burn, and the lit tie fellow could stand it no longer and commenced to cry and dance up and down with pain. The chestnut venier tried to extracs the nuts, but his hands were too large to get into the pockets. The cries and antics of the sufferer in- creased. The Italian became excited, and with commendable ingenuity seized the bsy by the heels and shook him, head down, until the chestnuts rolled out on the sidewalk. With tears of joy the boy went in search of his mother.

A Romance of Real Life.

When St. Paul wns in it's infancy, a young blacksmith and his wife lived near the junction of what Is now North First street and Hennepine avenue. Not successful in business at that time, the young husband, whose real name was John Felix, though he bore the most tender affection fc r his young wife, as the sequel shows, started for the far West with the dete animation to obtain wealth and independence. Here be re- mained until tho breaking out of the war, when he enlisted. While in the army he met comrade who told him of the sad misgiviugs of his former wife, reason, had never heard from him, though he had written several letters) to second husband. Felix then informed his comrade that he should never return to bis homo until he had acquired thein- dependent fortune ho had first unsuc- cessfully striven to obtain. Upon the close of the war he once more turned his sorrowful footsteps toward the West, and there soon laid the basis of that for tune he had so long been searching for. Starting on a ranch in Wyoming Terri tory, his flock grew in number, and for tune smiled as blandly as his ambition could desire, and he was, most naturally, as time passed, overcome with the de- sire to visit once moro the spot whore his happiest moments had been spent About six months since he wrote to his son, who at that time happened to re- side near Minneapolis, and received the letter. The boy, who was an infant at the time of his fathers departure, and never knew him, could not understand it's meaning, and gsve1it to his mother, who instantly recognized the writing, and, with a woman's nature, her first love so dwelt in her heart that she told her second husband, without mo- ment's warning, that she could live with him no longer. John Felix, after an absence of over eighteen years, re- turned to St. Paul, and having learned that she who was once his wife was keeping boarding house on First street, immediately went thither. He called and recognized her. He appealed to her charity by telling her that he had no money. She told him he was wei come to such fare as her home afforded. While waiting upon him he asked her numerous questions, and finally wound up by asking her if she ever knew a man named John Felix, Her curiosity being greatly aroused at having name pronounced she had seldom heard for years, and divining through the mag netism of love who the man before her was, she threw herself into his arms and gavo way to the joyful tears that remained unwept through all her long waiting. John says he cried too. John further says that he intends soon to re- turn to the land that has prospered him, and where, we. are credibly informed, he is reckoned among the first of those wealthy ranchmen who inhabit the fer
