Anna Dickinsons stage love-ma-
king is an awful failure, according to
the Burlington Ha,rkeyc, which thus
DESERVES it: "When the experienced
actor silles up to her and reaches l,is
arm around her rigid waste, she grabs
him by the wrist and holds him off at
arms length while he says his piece,
nd then, when she reaches the melt
ing moment, she lowers her head to
let it droop upon his shoulder, the
constrained action is 50 like the gesture
of a venerable William goat in the
act of assisting a teasing boy over a
pasture fence, that the audience glee-
fully look to see the unhappy lover
butted clear over into the orchestra
fddles. and thereis a general mprmur
Of disappointment, when he braces his
feet aud receives the drop Other head
with II scarcely audible grunt."

\ SMELL OF MICE.-I takes Kan
sas to 60 heavy and ante the buck every
time. Just hear what local chroni-
cler says; "While Capt. Gilges, who
is employed at the Kansas and Mis-.
souri, bridge. was cracking some hick-
ory-nuts Monday afternoon in the
watch Office. at one end of the bridge,
his attention was arrested by the ap-
pearance of several mice on the floor
after the discarded nut-shells, which
yet contained small particles Of ker-
nels. Thinking to watch the maneuv-
res, he stepped outside the door of the
office. He did not remain long until
one of the little animals took up one of
the shells, and climbing considerable
distance up the wall, let it fall to the
floor. This was repeated several times
until the small portion of the kernel
which had eluded human research had
become loose enough tn be readily ex-
iracted. When through with one
piece, another was taken up and car
ried through the same process, showing
clearly to the watcher that the first in
stance was not a mere accident"
Did the Captain enjoy wine with
his nuts ~

MOTHER AND SoS.-rhere is no
tie in the world more beautiful than
that which binds mother anl son
grown old enough to be her protector.
A daughter loves her mother, indeed;
but she sees all her defects, Us one wo-
man always does see those of another.
No doubt, with the unconscious arro-
gance OF youth, she exaggerates them.
But the son loves his mother with an
IDEAL love-he sees her as a man sees a
woman; that is to say, through GER
tain halo of mystery. Reverence is
his feelings for her. and at the same
time a sense Of her need of his care
he is at once her knight and her son.
lis Is proud Of her and fond of her at
the same time. Her image is sacred
in his mind. She may not be better
than other women, but she seems 50
to him.

Nearly twenty thousand alligator
skins are yearly used by the boot and
shoe manufacturers in the United
Slater. Only portion of the hides
are seryiceable. These are packed in
barrels, in strong brine, AMI shipped
to the Northern tanner, who keeps
them under treatment for from six 10
eight months. when they are ready for
use. The skins formerly came almost
entirely from Louisiana, and New Or
leans was the great ,ntre Of the busi-
ness. The Florida swamps and mo-
rasses are now the harvest fields, and
jacksonville, in that State, the great
depot. The alligators often attain a
length OF eighteen to twenty feet, aud
frequently live TO a very old age.

Virginia known as the "Thirty-Dsy

cided to abolish all honorary Con
sulates in this country in favor OF
paid officials, with the exception OF

mother quickly reached for the child,
and as she did 50 she noticed heavy
frown settle on the young man brow,
SO with trembling voice sne muLLared an
apology. Instead of receding the irown
on his brow grew deeper, and rudely
turning his back upon her he snatched Il
paper from his pocket and pretended to

sharp-teatured woman arose and lett the

lief, folded up his paper ana turning to
the discounted mother, he whispered

Mature" said the Englishmar, as he
surveyed the Swiss landscape from the
Matterhorn, mature Is an Internally fine
thing. after al. >" and there is considerable
truth in the remark. The invention of
the oyster alone would justify even higher
praise than this, but when we consider
the ingenuity with which Nature has
adjusted the habits of that exquisite Fl h
L. the wants OF men, cold approval Is
changed into wonder. l., for instance
the oyster had been created wild ami
maj, ike the bison, Nature might be- Justly
accused of acting with malignant and
tsntaizing purpose but lis tame DISPOSE
ton Is ore OF It's greatest merits. Another
eyAmple of the order which exists IN ns-
ture. but one which Paley forgot TO men
ton. Is the aduptability of the oyster to the
seasons. It's well understood thst oysters
can only be eaten by intelligent persons
in months which have an K in them and
in this correction we find u remarkable
proof of the sGaptahiIity of means TO ends.
Hsd she 50 chosen Nature might easily
have placed All X IN only one month, but
instead al that she placed that noble letter
in the names OF eight months, emitting it
from four months only, and those by q
SINGULAR coinCideI &C the very months IN
which the oyster Is most watery and thin.
Thus. whether he be raw, fried, sCalloped,
stevcd. broiled, panncI or picked, the
oyster furnishes fruitful theme for the
optimlst.

on FRIDAY at the Queen City hotel with
a iolnt committee OF the City Council of
Cumberland. Mr. K. ID. johnson, OF the
committee, ststed that the conference had
been requested tor the purpose of ascer-
tanning when the work would be resumed
at the compsny's iron works, upon which
hundreds OF the citizens directly and
thousands indirectly depend for support.
MIR. Kevser was unable to fix q date for
the resumption but regretted to state that
there was absolutely no prospect Of tie
works starting up this fall aud winter.
Thecompsny can now purchase Amer
lean steel rail at $45 per ton. These
rails last from six to seven years and are
eQual to tie best English rail. 1t costs
the company at Cumberland S3S 40 per
ton to make iron rails, which wear out IN
about SIX months. He stated further that
the cost of fitting up the rolling mills to
make steel rail would be 100000 and this
outlay would not be justified at present
