am sorry to say" was the greeting she
gave him before he had SO much as
spoken a word to her, and while the
worsted was yet in his pocket.
It's inst according to sample, Miss
Mollie. The salesman was very par
ticular to compare them"
yes, he may have thought so, but
it's Q shade too light, and will not do. u
The worsted was produced and the
pattern from which the work was to be
made was put by its side. Those in the
room could not detect difference. The
sick girl insisted that it was too light.
Take it back, please, when you are pass
| lug, auu the expert VIII GUuVIuc5 you
that I am right" she said. Back went
the gentleman with the worsted.
"You gave me the wrong shade, said
he to the clerk.
That young man examined and de-
"Call your expert, said the embassa-
dor ; and the expert came.
1t is lighter shade than the
sample" was the experts decision and
he quickly produced the proper one.
"This is just right" was Miss Fanch-
er's greeting as the second parcel was
handed to her unopened.
Yet more astonishing are her effects in
wax work. Without having taken les
SOD, and without knowledge of botany,
and, too, without pattern, she fashions
in wax beautiful designs-windows filed
with flowers and vines and butterflies,
bouquets, crosses and anchors. Once
asked how she was able to do all this,
she answered "Oh, see the leaves
and then make others like them"
All this wax work making and en-
broidery and needle work on canvas is
made while one hand is rigidly held back
of her head. With this hand she holds
her work and plies the needle with the
other. Even though she had the sight
of her eyes, it must be impossible for
her to see the work in the position in
which she is compelled to hold it. She
works or reads by night, no light what
ever being in the room, with the same
facility as by day, and not for an instant
hesitates to select the proper shade and
size of worsted from the score of colors
and sizes that are within her reach. She
works monogrems of her own fancy into
IuC utllOhCIClIo45 Va ucI Bcubloucu
friends, and puts butterflies and leaves
and birds upon them with rare taste and
skill. One of the most beautiful of her
wax work productions, an exquisite and
delicate bower of roses and creepers
adorns the parlor of Prof. Vests Brook
Iyn Heights seminary, 126 Montague st.
She has neglected none of her friends;
all have some little gem of her own
fashioning.
A reporter for the Sun called on
several New York physicians who are
veil known in the profession as making
a specially OF nervous diseases. Some
of these physicians were not at home,
others did not wish to express an opin.
ion without further investigation, and
others desired to reserve their opinions
until they could express them in medi.
cal journals. DR.. Clymer stated that
the mental phenomena attributed to the
girl were simply impossible, and that it
was undoubtedly case of hystero-cata-
lepsy. DIR. E. @. Seguin was sceptical
concerning the alleged wonderful powers
of Miss Fancher, while DR.. William A.
Hammond emphatically declared there
was deception somewhere.

A COnsul's Duties.

The Boston Journal gives the qualif-
cations of good United States consul
as follows: The good consul knows the
language of the country in which he
resides. Ii he did not know it thorough.
ly when he took the post, he went man
fully at work and learned it.
He keeps his eyes and ears open,
reads the local papers, and notes down
all commercial and financial figures.
He does not talk politics, but he does
talk trade.
He is everywhere, and at all times,
emphatically an American. It is his
duty to do so, and he glories in his
duty. He carries American opinion
among the bankers and merchants of
the community in which he resides.
Sea- captains like him and stand
little in awe of him. He is fair man,
and looks at all sides OF a question be-
fore he decides upon it. He is the
friona and protector of the common
sailor.
He sends runaway girls back to their
families. He prevents foolish marriages
from reaching contamination.
Sometimes be is compelled temper
arily to postpone marriages when it
seems great pity to do SO.
One afternoon the American consul in
principal French seaport heard
knock at his door, and tall, handsome
compatriot walked in and introduced
himself.
"Look here, Mr.. Consul" he said.
Miss Mary Ann -, my future wife,
is on the steamer which was signaled
down below last night, and she will be
here in about an hour. I want to know
il we can't be married here at the con-
sulate tomorrow. I am in business at
- (naming another French city,, and
my absence for long time will iniure
my prospects. Otherwise should have
gone over and married the lady in
America"
The consul explained that marriage
in France must be under local law; that
both contracting parties must have been
resident in the town in which they were
married for more than three weeks; that
certificates of birth and of parents mar
riage must be produced, etc.
"Gracious !" said the stricken would
be bridegroom. "Do you mean to say
that O Protestant minister can't marry
us right here in this consulate ?"
"Such marriage would not be legal,
and could not sanction it by my pres
ence," said the consul. "But there is
an American vessel Of the navy lying in
the harbor. On board Of her you are
on American soil, and cal be married
under Amer ican laws, provided the
captain OF the ship consents"
That stricken bridegroom shock his
head, and departed, saying he would ask
Mary Ann when she arrived, which he
did, and she said no they must be
married according TO the laws of the
country they intended to live in; and
they must wait until she had got all the
needed documents from the United
States,

Harmless Duelihg.

"Rifies at ten paces," was the answer
of the Arkansan, when asked by his ad-
versary to nominate his weapon for
mortal combat. "Pistols at thirty-five
paces," smiled De Fourtou, when Gam
BETA made like request of the diplo-
matte ex-minister Of the interior, after
the lie had been passed aud the chal-
lenge accepted as the result of their re-
cent quarrel in the French chamber. It
is true this was trifiing innovation in
the ordinary methods of the duello,
which do not contemplate distance at
which two infuriated politicians might
pepper away at each other all day with
out sustaining the slightest injury. De
Fourtou knew that Gambetta was more
OF an expert with the pen than with the
pistol, and with native magnanimity
suspended the ordinary rules OF the
code, so to speak, and chose a distance
at which neither could hit barn door.
Gambetta's personal safety being thus
assured by the gallantry of his oppo-
nent, each took rs deadly an aim as the
circumstances of the case would permit,
and being under no painful apprehen.
sion from each others fire, both blazed
away, and-missed, as matter of
course. Powder had been burned, and
French honor was pronounced satisfied.
This improved method of dueling, by
which the challenger or challenged may
select his own favorite distance, must
necessarily popularize the duello in
France and elsewhere. Instead of the
dangerous proximity of the combatants
so general in this country, we may now
expect TO hear of duels being safely con-
Quoted at respectable distances without
awkward consequences. -- Neg Yor}

Dissemination OF Yellow Fever.

How is the disease disseminated In

SLOW and regular progression from house

following the lines OF travel and COM

quency by sailing ships, and generally
makes its first appearance in previously
healthy place near the docks and
wharves. Whether the part of the town
nearest the water happens to be clean
or dirty quarter, rich or poor one,
makes no difference. Clean streets do
not check the disease, nor does foulness
favor its spreading. In 1857 the yellow
fever prevailed in that part of New
Orleans which was, by official report,
sin the best possible sanitary condi-
tion," and in no other, though the rest
of the city was and had been for years
almost indescribably filthy. The germs
of the disease are portable, like bulk in
freight, and they will take root in any
soil. They lurk in baggage cars, in
boxes, and in clothing, in any loose
textured substance that is closely shut
up, as even in cargoes of sugar. In
porous materials like these-tomites,
as physiaians call them-the poison will
hide and ripen for some two months
time, and develop its full strength of
infection. A parcel sent from New
Orleans may start an epidemic of yellow
| fever in Boston or Quebec.
The disease is one OF hot climates,
and of low alluvial ground by prefer
ence, though any kind of soil will do
for it, and any elevation above sea-level
that is not too great for the degree of
heat required. That degree is a daily
average, continued for some weeks to-
gether, of from seyenty-seven degrees
to eighty degrees Fah.-a tempera-
ture which is reached for a month or
more together, and exceeded, during
our more than torrid summers, in al.
most any of our towns and cities from
Florida to Maine. Yellow fever has
prevailed as far north as Quebec, and
may extend as far again in the future.
OF the mysterious way in which the
disease travels from house to house, a
living messenger of death, we know lit.

seize upon the secret of its cause, which
in all cases is probably the same, though
some observers think that there are two
distinct forms of the disease. Ii

THE DEATH STRUGGLE.

During the past week Barlow's agents
have been most actively at work in all
sections to create votes for their pay
master. In Orleans, Essex and Lamoille
counties, they have held meetings which
have been addressed by hired speakers,
some of them greenbackers, others bolt
ers. Whatever could be done by the
hiring OF persons to work up a Barlow
sentiment, has been done. Men who
have neither inclination or means to
work with. have been as busy as bees
running here and there in the interests
of Barlow. We have never seen the
like of this in this district, and hope
never to see it again. If a candidate
is SO little loved that it is necessary to
create new party for him, and to ex-
pend thousands Of dollars in his behalf,
he is not the candidate that honest
voters will support. We expect that
the extraordinary effort will procure
him some votes, but it will be a humil-
iating event If one of the political dis
tricts in the United States is seduced
and prostituted by the efforts Of Barlow
and his hirelings. Let the honest, in
telligent voters of the district turn out
on election day and stamp out this crime
at the polls.

ENCOURAGING SIGNS.

While the country is passing through
a period which is called '.hard times"
it is encouraging to know from statisti-
cal information and from observation,
that the worst has been reached and
that the tide is turning back. For a
long time the balance of trade has been
in our favor. We are selling as ma
ton, much more than we buy, we are
living within our means in national ex-
penditures, and gradually paying the
national debt.
Secretary Sherman. in some brief re-
marks to the Cincinnati Chamber of
Commerce, lately, gave voice to the
prevalent opinion of the hour relative
to the better outlook for business. 81
take this opportunity to congratulate
you." he said, shat by the bounty of
Divine Providence you will have to
market the largest crops we have gath
cred in this country since the world was
born. | can congratulate you also that
our currency is soon to be based upon
the solid money of the world. I take a
hopeful view of our business affairs. We
have passed through severe crisis. 1t
has been common in all countries. A
ray of hope has dawned on us. Every
sign of business is hopeful. We do not
owe Europe anything of consequence.
We have gone through the debt-paying
process. A few years ago we were run
ming in debt at the rate of one hundred
million dollars year, but lately we
have been paying off our debt at the
rate of one hundred millions year.
From the centres of commercial business
comes the echo to this hopeful view.
Hard times are gradually giving way to
more prosperous era.
From all directions the reports are
good in regard to the crops, and the
exports for the next year must be i'm.
mense. In our own vicinity the hard
times are not Furnishing all classes. II
is only those who allowed themselves t.
get into trouble and debt when money
was inflated and times were flush, thai
are suffering severely to-day. It is true
that farm products are low and that tn,
price of wages is low for the day labor
er, but there has not been time fol
twenty year when the purchasing powe
of dollar was as great as to-day.
We think that the price of our farm
products have touched their lowest fig
ures and that there is to be a gradua
Improvement in the future.

DON'T BE DECEIVED.

There are some very good men who
are getting little befogged in regard
to greenbacks. They have perhaps
heard one phase of the question and i'm
agine that there may be something to it.
They hope for some change in financial
affairs which shall create a greater pros
perity, and catch at this notion as a hun
CRY fish catches at bait, some of them
as drowning men catch at straws. The
thing is ike the thousand ephemeral no.
lions, doctrines and follies that have a
run in the county, and then become de-
serted and forgotten. This particular
ism, so far as this state is concerned,
has been gotten up by a few designing
men for personal ends. and through
them it is now being sustained. We
cannot stop to discuss the matter here,
but we will state that when election
passes by there will be little said of it.
1t is now made great political hobby,
for the especial benefit of one man. If
he can ride into power on it, it will be
the last of the ism. Those who are en-
tertaining some respect for the notion
should remember that all these new
things need careful handling. and that
the most of them are one only periodical
humbugs. This is true in regard to
this ism; nearly every honest, thrifty,
careful, successful man in this whole
country is hard money man, and man
who does not wish to launch out again
into the uncertainties and dangers of an
inflated currency. Remember that YER
mont greenbackism is got up now to
draw away strength from the Republican
party. and to apply it to candidates who
are either broken down and discarded
politicians, or candidates that cannot
get the places they are seeking without
capturing the wary by the greenback
bolt.

VOTE FOR WIN. W. CIRCUIT.

1t may be unnecessary to urge upon
our Republican in this county the claims
Of Gen. Grout for your vote on Tuesday.
You know the man; he has been before
you for twenty years. You know that
very few men possess his energy, per-
severence and ability, and that no man
has better reputation for honesty. He
is citizen Of your own county, and it
is no small honor to have nomination
for congress fall into county; Every
man, Republican or Democratic, will
rejoice in the choice of a congressman
from this county. Gen. circuit was prob
ably the only man that could have beat
en- the money and the terrible effort Of
Bradley Barlow in the convention. Mr..
Barlow and his friends did all they
could previous to the convention, to de-
feat the candidate Of this county. Since
that time everybody knows the dishon-
orable, wicked. unheard Of means they
have employed to defeat Gen. GrOut
We trust that every citizen who has 6
pride in his county and desire to have
an able. honest man in congress. viii
not only vote, but will do his utmost t.
increase the vote of Gen. Grout in thi
county. See to it that not man i
left at home. and that every voter cast
vote for w. w. Grout.
