The Sultana.

Some years ago says the London
Truth, the "crack linen draper's shop
in the Grand Rue of Pera was kept by
Tomkins and Marengo. Mrs. Tomkins
was Swiss, and sat behind the counter
dispensing gloves and cosmetiques to
Turks, Greeks, Jews, Armenians, and
other nationalities. By her side sat a
pretty light-haired Swiss girl, who had
picked up smattering of Turkish, by
means of which and her good looks she
attracted many Turkish pashas to the
shop in quest of gloves and mild firta-
ton. Among them was the present
sultan. He saw and loved the fair
Swiss girl. One afternoon she announced
to her aunt that she was about to mar
ry pasha. In vain the aunt explained
to her that she was disgracing the noble
family of Tomkins by such an alliance,
and endeavored to lure her back to the
recollections of her native land by tell
ing her how happy her lot would be as
the bride of tradesman in Berne or
Lucerne. The niece remained true to
her pasha, and Mrs. Tomkins, with
many misgivings, consented to the
wedding. The pasha is now the sultan.
The Swiss girl is sultanta. She has
taught him European languages, and
her influence is unbounded. over him.

Partisan Dances.

Masked balls in Paris owe most of
their gayety to societies of Dancers
hired by the proprietors to attract the
public. These dancers form regular
~ organized corporation, "Les en-
traineurs de bals," numbering some
hundred members, who are subdivided
into three bodies, " La Jeunesse Paris
ienne," La Societie de la Quinzaine,"
and "Les Chevaliers de La Tune"
The numbers or mainly respectable
young workmen and poor clerks who
are fond of dancing. Dressed in fas-
tastic guise and armed with rattles,
bells, castanets and penny trumpets,
the various companies on ball night
assemble at some cafe, where the presi-
dent calls the roll and absentees are
fined. The members are all known by
odd sobriquets, such as "Ball of
Thread" "The Mad Eel" "Fine
Beard" &C., while the president is
styled " Handsome Duck" At mid
night the entraineurs sally forth dane
ing down the street and playing their
several instruments, and rushing into
the ballroom, execute marvellous
feats. These societies have the entree
even to the balls of the Grand Opera.

Not many days after Captain Storms

"But what has frightened you up So

answered Mr.. Reed, smiling fondly on
Katie.

"May I, mother ?" and seeing the
answer in her mothers eyes, the hal

twinkling.
A few hours later, she came home
radiant.
The house was lovely, perfect, ani
furnished, too And the Doctor saii
there were to be great many building

would be fine chance for her father tt

The..Doctor confirmed her statements
and amid the heartfelt thanks of KATE

signed; and the next week saw her al
happy girl as any in the land, in he

Curious History Of Royal Chair.

A curious story is being told in Paris
about an armchair which has been be-
queathed by an old woman who has
just died in one of the slrnshouses
there to the Louvre for the collection
known as the Museum of SOvereigns.
This armchair was presented more than
a century ago to the Empress Maria
Theresa, who had it placed in her bou-
doir. AT her death, and in compliance
with her express injunctions, it was
sent to Queen Marie Antoinette at Yer
sailles, and formed part of the furniture
provided for Louis XVI. during his
imprisonment in the Temple. After
his execution his valet removed it to
England, where it became the property
first of the Prince of Wales and then of
the Duke of Cumberland. The latter
took it with him to Berlin, where it was
placed in the hands of an upholsterer to
be repaired. The workman to whom
the armchair was given discovered, up
on removing the horse hair with which
it was stuffed, diamond pin, the por-
trait of a boy, and several sheets of
discovery to his master, but soon after
ward sold the pin to jeweler, giving
him at the same time the portrait and
the papers. The jeweler succeeded in
out from the papers, which
were written in French, that they con-
sisted of series of instructions from
Louis XVI. to his son, and that the por-
trait was that of the Dauphin. A few
years afterward this jeweler, whose
name was Nouendorf, claimed to be
Louis XVII, the son of Louis XVI. and
Marie Antoniette, producing as evil
dence in his favor the portrait and
papers, and, as will be remembered, he
imposed upon many people. The work
man who had made the discovery was
disinclined to say how Nouen-
dorf had become possessed of these
documents; but when he was at the
point of death he communicated the
fact to his family, by whom the arm
chair, which the Duke of Cumberland
had left at Berlin, was recovered and
sold to Frenchman. He took it with
him to Paris, and his widow was brought
to such poor circumstances that it was
the only article of furniture remaining
in her possession when she entered the
almshouse in which she died recently

FAT e.
BY SUSAN NJ, SPALDIEG.

Two shall be born the whole wide world apart,
And speak in different tongues and have no thought
Each of the others being, and no heed.
And these DER unknown to unknown lands
Shall CROSS, escaping wreck, defying death
And, all unconsciously shape every act
And bend each wandering step to this one end
That, one day, out of darkness they shall meet
And read 1ife's meaning in each others eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way Of life,
50 nearly side by side that should one turn
Ever so little space to left or right
They needs must stand acknowledged face to face,
And yet with wistful eyes that never meet,
WIN CROPPING hands that never clasp, and lips
calling in vain to ears that never hear,
They seek each other all their weary days
And die unsat1sfed and this is Fate.

can be applied to roses, geraniums,
and, in fact, to any plants that are
desired to grow into better shape, It
is not at all necessary TO cut branches
off seclo to the stalk, in fact, it is bet
ter not to do so. But little nipping
back of the ends of growing shoots is
all that is required.

A ROSARY OF SONNETS.
BY H. ". LONGFELLow.
NATURE,

MATURE,
AS fond mother when the day is DER,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
ana leaves ms broken playthlngs on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door
Nor wholly treasured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
when, though more splendid may not please
him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
scarce knowing if we wish to GO or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
HOW Tar the unknown transcendS the what we
know.
I'm THE CHURCHYARD AT TARRYTowN.
Here lies the gentle humorist, who died
In the bright Indian summer of his fame
simple stone with but date and name,
Marks his secluded resting place beside
The river that he loved and gloritied.
Here in the autumn of his days he came,
But the dry leaves of life were all afame
With tints that frightened and were multi
piled.
How sweet life was his; how sweet a deathl
Living to wing with mirth the weary hours,
Or with romantic tales the heart to cheer;
Dying, to leave memory like the breath
0fsummers full of sunshine and of showers
grief and gladneSs in the atmosphere
H.-ELIoTs OAK
Thou ancient oak! whose myriad leaves are loud
With sounds of unintelligible speech,
Or multtudlnOus murmurs OF crowd;
With some mysterious gift of tongues endowed,
Thou speakest different dialect to each;
To me q language that no man can teach, Q
Of a lost race long vanished like q cloud,
For underneath thy shade, in days remote,
Seated like Abraham at eventide
Beneath the oaks of Mamre, the unknown
Apostle of the Indians, Eliot wrote
His bible in a language that hath died
And is forgotten save by thee alone.
V.-THE DESCENT OF THE MUSES..
Nine sisters, beautiful in form and face,
Came from their convent on the shining
heights
OfPierus, the mountain of delights,
TIE dwell among the people at its base.
Then seemed the world to change. All time and
splendor of cloudless days and starry nights,
And men and manners, and all sounds and
sights,
Had new meaning, diviner grace.
Proud were these sisters, but were not too proud
To teach in schools of little country towns
Science and song, and all the arts that please;
So that while housewives spun, and farmers
Their comedy daughters, clad in homespun
gowns,
Learned the sweet songs of the Pierides.
y.-vENICE.
White swan of cities, slumbering in thy nest
So wonderfully built among the reeds
Of the lagoon, that fences thee and feeds,
AS sayeth thy old historian aud thy guest!
White water-lily, Graded and caressed
BY ocean streams and from the silt and weeds
Lifting thy golden pistils with their seeds,
Thy sun-illumined spires, thy crown and crest!
White phantom city, whose untrodden streets
Are rivers, and whose payements are the shift
Shadows of palaces and strips of sky;
I wait to see them vanish like the fleets
Seen in mirage. or towers OF cloud uplifting
In air their unsubStantia1 masonry.

Trimming Plants while CIR owing.
Every one admires q beautiful form
IN plant, an evenness of growth Of
the various branches to give fine bal
ance to it. There are some plants
whose habits are naturally straggly
and uncouth. While they are growing,
a little nipping back of the leading
branches with the fingers or pair of
shears, will hold them in check, while
other branches will be encouraged to
grow to the same size. We will cite,
for instance, the lemon verbena. This
seldom makes q slightly shrub, when
left to itself, although it is tavorite
owing to its sweet scent and delicate
green. By pruning back the leading
branches, it will soon grow into well
rounded and closely formed shrub. If
you wish it to grow tree shaped, en-
courage it to grow tall by nipping back
the ends of side limbs till it has &C
CURED the right height, then, to prevent
growing one-sided, and to make it well
formed, nip back all the shoots that

deeply, :" I nave no more ribbon
sob, buy whatever you want, and
I'll make it all right" said the lad,
carelessly.
Yes-but-I have no money!" said
poor Kate, stammering as if her poverty
were something to be ashamed Of.
ooh, yes, I understand" with a look
at the miserable building. "Well, let
me give you the money! you will be
kind enough to buy the ribbons" he
added with natural politeness, and he
produced his pocket book and handed
Kate bill.
"What colors will you have?" she
asked, as if in dream. Was it possi-
BILE that after all she could be going to
earn some money and help her poor
mother little !
"Whatever you like, only be sure
they are bright. When can I have
them >: he asked, preparing to resume
his seat.
"I will have them ready to morrow.
Cali right" he answered, and drove
off.
The rosettes we're quite ready when
the iceman called the next day; and he
paid literally for them, and promised
to send other customers.
He was as good as his word, and for
a few days Kate was almost constantly
engaged in making rosettes of different
hues, to fill the various orders brought
her by her iceman and Mr.. Gray.
With the proceeds of her work Mrs.
Reed had bought more nourishing food
for her husband, who was now gaining
rapidly, and declared that he should
soon be able to earn almost as much as
Kate.

TRIAL JURORS,


The Ne,o North Vest of the 18th instant
pays deserved compliment to the efficien-
cy of Delegate Maginnis. 1t is the leading
Republican journal of Montana, and no
doubt its utterances are largely endorsed
by that party. 1t says: Delegate Ma
ginnis, after fortnight's sojourn on the
West Side, returned to Helena on Thurs
days coach. He has visited our principal
camps, and informed himself of the needs
and wishes Of the people, and will shortly
return to Washington, desiring to reach
there few days before the extra session
of congress convenes. We are glad to
know that he regards the outlook for the
passage Of some acts Of great importance
to Montana as highly favorable, and to
that end he will LevOte his best efforts.
The Major is persistent and successful
worker, has good standing and warm
friends in both the Legislative and Execu-
tive departments, and is one of the most
attentive members in the House. We
wish him the best results for his labOrs,
and trust his best anticipations may be
realized. "-lndependent

BAKER Il CO.'S TRAIN.
An Attack and n Fire OF the Imaci.
nation.


Mr.. Howard Conrad, of 1. G.. Baker 4
| Co., received a letter from his firm in Fort
Benton which contained the gratifying in
tclligence that their train had sustained no
damage whatever, save a delay of four
days caused by the wagonmaster and
drivers hurrying to Fort Benton. The
letter stated that Major Hges and Walsh
had just retuled from the train on Milk
river, and that not single article was
missing. The train is now on the way to
Cypress.
1t appears the trim was camped on
Milk river, and on the opposite side there
was large number of Gros Ventrcs, also
in camp. About o O'Clock at night a large
hunting party Of these Indians that had
been absent for two weeks arrived within
sight of the camp fires of their tribe, and,
as Is customary, fired a salute from, their
guns. The salute was instantly recognized
and was answered by return salute, ac-
companied by yells of delight. The train
men, supposing they We're attacked, used
their best endeavors to escape-and they
succeeded. The two men reported missing
were,Wrapped up in their blankets, and
before they could unwind themselves and
secure their clothing the Indians crossed
the river and assured them they were
friendly. Next day the Indians helped the
hertlers to gather up the cattle, and when
the Benton scouts arrived they fo*lnli the
train intact. Taking all the circumstances
into consideration, the train men cannot
be blamed very much.-Hc1cne hMepss-
