japanese Gr0g.Sh0ps.

The grog-shops of Japan are neither
more nor less than tea-shops. All along
the public roads, at frequent distances,
are planted pleasant tea-houses. The
"tea," according to correspondent,
when they must stop by the wayside,
and in such little bits of cups that one
could drink the contents OF twenty OF
them, and then want more. Pretty tea
girls stand by the entrance, and (thelr
teeth not yet blackened) with pretty
ways and courtesies so fascinating that
tea even without sugar or milk becomes
agreeable. On pretty lacquered walters
the tea-girls hand you little tiny cups
with mouthful in them, and you squat
down on the nice clean mats, if squat
you can, and you sip, and sip, and SIP
this mouthful of hot tea, as If the gods
nectar was going down their throat In
infinitesimal drops of microscopic In
visibility. The keeper of a, Japan tea.
house picks out as pretty place for a
tea-house as he or she can get. The
keeper coyets, if possible, view Of and
the air of the Bay of Yeddo, along which
the most of the way here runs the
Tocaido. The grand tea-house is cut up
into numerous little rooms, with paper
partitions to part them, running on
Slides, bat all removable at will, to re-
store the whole to one grand room.
Cakes, sweetmeats and candies are
brought in with the tea, all put on the
clean matted floor (there are no seats and
all SQUAT or stretch out ON the floor.

Lung-Sing at once, and he put his finger
on his nose and softly said: "Lung-
Sing somebody's fool, maybe"
The redskins got terrible roasting.
It has been twice stated by members OF
the same band that not savage escaped
injury, and it is certain that more than
dozen cooked and charred bodies were
found in the passages weeks afterward
by white men. Those who got out were
terribly burned, and several died at
their village. AS the redskins had found
no one in the cave the fire appealed to
their superstition. They believed the
place to be occupied by the spirit OF
some outlawed warrior; he had kndled
the flames in revenge on them for daring
to intrude. None of them had ever
been near the cave again up to six weeks
ago.
Lung-Sing, rearranged his signal, and
returned to his work. In the gray OF
morniug, six weeks after he had been
driven out of Boston Town, an early
riser caught sight of him again. He
was trotting along at the head OF four
pack mules and dozen Cinnamon, all
loaded down, but he hadn't time to stop
and explain whether they carried goods
to set up an original dollar store" in
the Hills, or had the material which
yellow-boys are made of. The miners
had their own ideas about that, and after
close search they discovered the cave
and ITS great riches.

Words Of Wisdom.

Envy shooteth at others and wounaeui
herself.
Most of our misfortunes are more sup
portable than the comments OF our
friends upon them.
One ungrateful man does an injury 70
all who are wretched. ~
Frowns blight young children as
frosty nights blight young plants.
A cheerful face is nearly as good Tor
an invalid as healthy weather. .aa
Re not hasty to cast off every asper-
sion that is cast upon you. Let them
alone for while, and then like mud on
clothes, they will rub off OF themselves.
The memory of an eye is the most
deathless of memories, because there, IL
anywhere, you catch glimpse OF the
visible soul as it sits by the window.
No charity should be extended to
those who are not as willing to do justice
as they are to receive it. @
The wealth of man is the number OF
things which he loves and blesses, and
which he is loved and blessed by.
True happiness is of a retired nature,
and is an enemy to pomp and noise. 1t
arises, in the first place, from the enjoy
ment of ones self. and in the next, nom
the friendship and conversation OF o few
select companions.
The willow that bends to the tempest
often escapes better than the oak which
resists it, and so in great calamities it
sometimes happens that light and
frivolous spirits recover their elasticity
and presence of mind sooner than those
of loftier character.

How Some English Girls Marry.

According to an English paper, the
richest heiress now on the engaged list
is Miss Crawshay, the daughter OF the
Vulcan of the Hills in South Wales. Her
dowry is said to be 9500, 600, and she is
about to bestow this with her hand and
heart upon briefess barrister on the
South Wales circuit. I should be very
happy to take her sister upon the same
terms, if I felt inclined to marry-for
money. These iron masters daughters
have q very considerate way of selecting
poor men for their husbands, Tor Slr
George Elliott's daughter married one OF
the special correspondents of the Daily
Neys. and few days ago the heiress OF
Durham colliery proprietor bolted with
the editor of a north country newspaper.
1t is said of one of these ladies, perhaps
it would be cruel to say which-for the
maneuvre after all was innocent enough
that meeting with gentleman on board
a steamer which WAS engaged in laying a
deep sea cable in the Atlantic, they very
naturally took to flirting on the quarter
deck. The lady was all alone except
with papa. The gentleman made HIM
self agreeable, and, being tall and hand.
some of course soon ingratiated himself
with the iron-king's daughter. One day,
finding himself alone, he proposed there
and then. "Hush !" said the lady,
"papa is asleep on the sofa and might
hear you. Let us take stroll on deck. y
"f am very sorry" said the lady, re-
suming the conversation on deck, "but,
of course, you did not know when you
were talking to me below that I was en-
gagged. But have sister at home who
is exactly like me; you would not know
us apart, and when you return home L
will introduce you to her." The intro
duction followed in due course, and the
marriage within six months. The court
ship al took place by proxy.

Girls Attacked hY q Buck.

Jennie Morgan, Kittie Vail and Ger
trude Dykman, aged eighteen, seventeen
and fifteen, respectively, all of Brooklyn,
N. Y, came to spend a brief vacation
with some relatives who dwell near the
Blooming Grove Pa. Park association 8
pond. A fishing excursion was arranged
for them, and they took an old boat and
rowed out into the water and anchored.
They fished for several hours, and then
rowed once or. twice around the pond,
and then started to row across to the
point from which they started. Near
the center of the pond the head OF q
buck hove in sight. The maidens took
the situation as coolly as the circum-
stances would admit, and began to pad
die with a will. But the animal gained
upon them, and seeing that further ef-
forts to reach the shore would be futile,
they stopped padding and prepared for
an attack. And their preparations were
not in vain for, slashing and plunging,
and with eyes like balls of fire, the buck
bore down upon them. When he was
within few feet of the boat. one with a
piece of seat, and the others each with
one of the oars, made thrust at the
bucks head. The blows sent him under
the water, but in an instant it shot up,
and the buck planted his fore feet into
the side of the boat, nearly capsizing it,
and throwing Miss Dykman and Miss
Morgan out into the pond. Miss Vail
seized the opposite side of the boat and
saved herself. The two girls now, each
with one hand, seized the buck by the
antlers, and clung to the boat with the
other. Miss Vail began to bring heavy
blows to bear upon the bucks head, but
with little effect. The snorting monstes
swayed and plunged, yet the plucky girls
maintained their hold, and screamed.
Within few rods of the pond lives a
German, who, hearing their cries,
fastened to the pond with his rifle. The
girls still clinging to the boat, which
was about five hundred yards from the
shore, the buck had freed itself, and was
swimming for the opposite shore. Get
ting into an old scow, the German pad
died out to n good range and shot the
buck dead. After the German had land
ed the maidens, Miss Dykman and Miss
Morgan tainted. They were cared for in
a farm house near by. The clothing OF
the two girls who had been in the water
was nearly torn from them, and they
were considerably scratched and bruised
by the deer's antlers. The deer was
brought to the shore, and when dressed
weighed over two hundred pounds.

Window Glass.

There are seventy establishments in
the United States devoted to the pro-
duction of window glass. Twenty-seven
of these are in New Jersey the others
are scattered through New England, New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio
and elsewhere in the West. The capital
invested in the industry is about Sc, 900,
600 in New Jersey alone, while the an
nual production:.of that State is between
2,OOO,OOO and 100000 boxes of the
various qualities and sizes OF glass. The
window glass manufacturing interest is
now one OF the principal industries OF
this country, and is destined to check
the importation of glass to America III
fact, many of the American manufaetur-
ers are now exporting large quantities OF
glass and glassware.

Sunday i'm the Black Hills.

A correspondent. writing from Dead
wood in the Black Hills says: On the
Sabbath day the streets present per-
feet Babel of confusion. Ok trains and
mule teams block the streets, their
drivers shouting and cursing in a vain
attempt to unravel the tangled teams.
Auctioneers strain their throats, while
the eating-house keepers add to the
clamor by inviting with bells and gongs
the poorly miners to walk in and get
square meal. The sidewalks are
crowded, and locomotion is difficult.
Bootblacks invite the passers-by to take
seats in their comfortable booths on the
edge of the walks, while the newsboys
lift their shrill voices and announce the
latest news from the strikers, the
Indians, or the road agents. While the
city is thus in the possession of people
from outside camps, hundreds of those
who can get away roam through the
country, and the roads in every direc-
tion are lively with pedestrians who are
visiting the various mines, or going to
see how their own ventures are pro-
crossing, for nearly everybody has a
claim Of some sort, and all expect to
realize fortune. A ride through the
country is refreshing, indeed, after one
has tired of the confusion in the city on
Sunday. The greater portion of the
cabins are of course closed and locked,
as their proprietors are "seeing life, "
but occasionally one Is found where the
inmates are more frugal. Some are
reading, some playing cards, some re-
sumo practice on their fiddle and ac-
cordeon, and some are busy in pounding
rocks, snxious to find colors. Once in a
while you will come across a cabin
which is distinguished from the others
by an air of neatness and taste. The
path before the door has been swept.
The window has curtain and perhaps a
few plants, and little bed of vegetables
is visible. If the door is open, you will
see clean floor with perhaps strip of
carpet on it, and a rude bedstead with
snowy sheets and pillow slips. Look
carefully, and you are sure to find a
woman and probably baby. When
you discover such habitatlon, if you
will examine those Immediately about it
you are certain to find comparative
degree of neatness prevailing, although
they are inhabited by men alone, for
one woman has a refining effect on a
whole neighborhood, and the rough,
lonesome bachelor miners are ashamed
to live in dirt while their neighbor's
woman can see it.

Lake Superior.

There are few persons in this country,
and still less in the old world, who have
anything like an adequate conception OF
the immense extent of this great inland
sea. To the lakes of Europe it bears
about the same relative comparison IN
point of size as the Missouri and Missis-
sippi bear to the European rivers. The
lakes of England and Scotland are mere
puddles compared with this leviathan.
Lake Superior is 500 miles long,. and its
greatest breadth is 100. It's circrunfer.
ence is about 100 miles, or about hall
the distance from Boston to Liverpool.
Lake Superior contains one island near.

battle Of Bennington, at Bennington, Vt,
August 16.]
On this fair valleys verdant breast
The calm sweet rays Of summer rest
And dove-lke peace benignly broods
On its smooth lawns and solemn woods.
A century since, in fame and smoke,
The storm of battle DER it broke,
And, ere the invader turned and fed,
These pleasant fields were strewn with dead.
Stark, quick to act and bold to dare,
And Warmers mountain band were there.
And Allen, who had flung the pen
Aside to lead the Berkshire men.
With fiery onset, blow for blow,
They rushed upon the embattled foe,
And swept his squadron from the vale,
Like leaves before the autumn gale.
Oh never may the purple stain
OF combat blot these fields again,
Nor this fair valley ever cease
To wear the placid smile of peace.
Yet here, beside that battlefield,
We plight the VOW that, ere we yield
The rights for which our fathers bled
Our blood shall steep the ground We tread.
