Society PRosPECTs AT WASHINGTON -
Only little more than fortnight must eIapse
before the meeting of Congress, and the
members Of both houses are beginning to
make their appearance. The Arlington, the
Riggs house and the Ebbtt appear to fnd
equal favor among those who have already
engaged winter quarters. The attorney-gen-
eral and Mrs Tult are at the Ebbitt, and |
do not think they will take a house, this
winter The question is often asked, Nv ill
the coming season be gay one?" aud re.
ply to it is as puzzling as to the universal
query, Who will be the next president ? 1t
does not seem probable that tho cabinet
will do much entertaining. If any Of its
members do entertain, it will probably be
the two who alone did 50 last winter, Messrs.
Fish and Chandler, the two who can best af-
ford to be lavish in their expenditures, and
whose houses are best suited for purposes Of
hospitality. The others who keep house are
Secretary of War Cameron and Secre.
tary Of the Navy Robson, and neither Of
these have houses large enough to accommodate
the crowds inseparable from evening recep.
tons by the cabinet. 1t is most probable
that the ladies Of the cabinet families will
receive as usual on Wednesday afternoons
mornings in society palace) after January
|. 1t is not at all probable that any but
most informal receptions will be held
prior to that time by these ladies. Mr.
Fish is always at home to her friends on
Wednesday, when in Washington, but receives
in no more formal manner than does any
lady in private life whose friends are priv.
legged to make social calls upon her.-"MisS

TmE MUTATIONS OF TRADE.-The changes
of trade are illustrated in the fact that a
year ago the article of coal was high and
sugar was comparatively low 10 price. At
the present time coal is very cheap and dull,
but sugar is high and scarce, the supply of
the article at the principal ports being fully
seventy.two per cent, less than at this time
last year. Prices for sugar are, in fact,
higher than for several years, and there is
no prospect of the article returning to lower
figures for some time, unless there should be
no export demand and the new crop turns
out larger than is anticipated.

TO suppose that fiction could permanently
appeal to so many classes of mind it it were
only fiction, is to suppose an absurbity.
Fiction is most powerful when it contains
most truth and there is little truth but that
which we find in fiction, So long as history
is written by partisaDs, and science by
theorists, and philosophy by hobby.riders,
the faithful studies Of human life, as We
fluid them in the best novels, are the truest
things we have; and they cannot fail to
continue to he the source OF our favorite
knowledge. our best amusements, and our
finest inspiratons.-D J. G. Holland.

A BosroN SroRY.-A Boston grocer
lately lost $40 barrel Of -four under the
following circumstances Monday evening
widow lady entered well.known grocery
store at the South End and engaged in con.
versation with the proprietor. The latter
was taking down barrel of flour from a
high stack OF barrels for one Of his custo.
mers, when the lady remarked that she would
like barrel of that flour, whereupon the
grocer pleasantly replied, IL will give you
barrel if you will carry it home" The
lady, who weighed some 200 pounds briskly
reached up to the top Of the stack Of bar
reIs, lifted one down, put it in wheebarrow
and wheeled it to her home, some half a
mile distant, being followed and cheered by
large crowd. TO say the grocer was sur
prised is mild way Of putting it,
We don't like to spoil the effect Of the
story, but that woman was pretty fair litter,
even though the stack was not ceiling high.

ADVENTURE WITH a MAD MAN
Perilous Ascent of Church Steeple.

s'Well, Tom, you don't mean to say
you funk it I thought you had more
pluck than to stick at little thing like
that. Suppose the spire is hundred
and fifty feet high ; why. there are lad
ders all the way up, and isn't it just as
easy to mount the hundredth step as the
first 2" urged my adventurous comrade,
as he looked wistfully up at the tall,
tapering steeple which the workmen
were then newly pointing.
81 tell you what, Willie, don't see
the use of running the risk of breaking
our necks in the attempts. For you,
who have so lately recovered from brain
fever, it would be the height of folly. !"
eff SO, Tom, it's folly's height itself
I'm going to climb to, and within ten
minutes I'll be astride of the weather
cock. Good bye, my boy /; I'm sorry
you haven't the courage to follow" and
whistling lively tune, Willie Bradney
walked towards the church porch.
I was now ashamed to hang back I
knew that the next day Willie's adven-
ture would make him the hero of the
school-a position which we were ever
struggling for in jealous rivalry SO ere
he reached the church porch I overlook
him and signifed my intention of shar-
ing the adventure.
That's right, old fellow" was the
retort ''but CONE, De quick. before the
workmen return from dinner" and pass
ing into the belfry he ascended the steep
winding steps of the tower, and soon
gained the battlements.
So far all was well. We had already
ascended one hundred feet from the
ground but above US rose the tall, tap
ering spire to height of q hundred and
fifty feet more-its Corinthian pinnacle
surmounted by the glittering weather
cock. which had been newly gilded- =
The ascent had to be made by ladders,
which were bound to each other and Sc
cured tightly to the stonework.
I glanced at Bra dney. He seemed
cool and determined. His right foot was
already on the ladder.
$50 on" I said ''if you are resolved
I'm with you," and away he went. and
after him.
There is nothing much easier than get
ting up q ladder. I took care to grasp
my way tightly with my hands, and nei-
ther to look up nor down. Willie, how
ever, climbed much faster than I, though

sOh, you need not hope for any assis-
tance from without. No one can hear
you, even though you shout at the top
of your voice."
"Oh, you cannot intend to murder
me in so cruel manner" cried Precy,
in an imploring tone.
"Don't look for mercy on my part, !"
replied Montbaisson. 'I shall put you
to death exactly as L said. But listen
to me i have something to say to you
first
Precy, wringing his hands in mute
despair, bent forward to catch every
word from his infamous adversary.
"You see, Monsieur de Precy," pro-
ceeded tho latter, 'what am going to
do is perfectly safe for me. When they
ma your eharrAd remains here toner
row, they will think that you yourself
incautiously set the wooden staircase on
fire. Now will tell you what shall
do when you are dead. My lawyer has
told me that I am your next of kin. So,
by your death, the Precy estate will be-
come mine, and, in order to kill all SYM
pathy for you, shall circulate the re-
port that you are not your fathers son
at all but bastard born by your moth
er to valet of your fathers. have had
a docu ment drawn up to that effect.
The world will point its fingers at your
mother, and your memory will be ours
ed. Ah, Monsieur de Precy, your broth
er Veronin one day called my sister
Mathilde voluptuous creature now I
shall make everybody believe that your
own mother is wanton." .
AT first Lucrece was perfectly dazed
as these cruel words fell upon his ears,
but suddenly an idea struck him. He
looked up to the flagstaff that was DIM
ly rising into the air. The top of that
flagstaff was supported by thee strong
wires fastened to blocks of wood in the
ground below.
Knowing full well that Montbaisson
was in dead earnest, he conceived the
perilous plan to climb up the flagstaff
to the top, and then lower himself on
one of the wires supporting it to the
ground. @
But would the flagstaff bear his
weight? a..l.. III.
Would the wire hold him, if he should
succeed in reaching the top Of the flag
staff?
Would not Montbaisson hear him and
mercilessly slaughter him? H
Still, it was the only chance of es-
cape remaining to him, and be had to
risk it.
He succeeded. But, in years long
afterward, he would tremble and turn
pale when thinking of that perilous de-
scent.
When he was out of reach Of the MUIR
derous young sceundrel, Precy shouted
for help and, an hour after, Montbais-
son, who had actually set the staircase
in the tower on fire, was arrested and
taken to the Tours Jail. ..s
The King banished him from the
country, but he returned in 1892, and
professed ultra-democr,tic principles.
This, however, did not save him from
suspicion, and in 1894 he was g1ilIotined
in Paris
