He Came Back.

Gov. Duval, of Florida, was the son
of a poor Virginian, a stern, strong,
taciturn man. The boy was a huge
youth of fifteen. AT the cabin fire, at
bedtime, according to the custom of
putting on backlog, the old man
said, between the whiffS of his silent
pipe:
"Tab, go out and bring in that gum
backlog, and put it on the fire.
Tab went out and surveyed the log.
He knew it was of no use explaining
that it was too heavy, nor prudent for
him to return without having it on his
shoulder. His little sister, passing. was
not surprised that he requested her to
bring out the gun and powder-horn, as
possum or coon might have passed, or
the brother might have seen bear signs.
She brought the gun, and Tab started.
He found the way through the woods
into Kentucky, in 1871. After an alb
sence of eighteen years, he was elected
to Congress. A man of immense size
and strength, he started for Washing
ton, going by the way of his old home
to see the folks who had long since Civ
en- him up for dead. Entering the lit
tie cabin door near bedtime, he saw the
identical gum log. He shouldered it,
pulled the latch-string, and with his
load stood before the old man, pipe in
mouth, as quiet as usual.
Here is the gum backlog, father"
"Well, you've been long time get
ting it. Put it on the fire and go to
bed,' was the reply.-Sam Antonio

Royal Entertainment in Bavaria.

King Louis, of Bavaria, who, no
doubt, will be known in history under
the name of the Solitary, has lately Civ
en- an original festival, in honor of the
Crown Prince of Austria. 1t was, as
usual, the night time that the royal
lover of the moon chose to give, in his
winter garden, an entertainment to his
guest. A method of lighting of the
most ingenious character produced all
the appearance of tropical sky.
Luminous balloons of all colors gave a
soft light to the entire garden, while an
immense star shone in the midst of
them like a sun. In kiosk, richly
decorated, table was spread with ex-
quisite viands around which were seat
ed the King, the Crown Prince of Aus
tria and the Princess Gisele and her
husband. From this spot the outlook
over a mass of lilies embraced the
whole extent of the garden, at the ex-
tremity of which was a column sur
mounted by laurel and standing in
the midst of fountain of sparkling
water. Upon the sides, on the right
and left. were paths ornamented with
statues, inviting the guests into groves
filled with musicians. A feast given by
Louis of Bavaria without music would
have been absolutely impossible. There
was, therefore, scattered among the
trees the quartet CT Walter, the double
quartet and the chorus of the theater
and the band of the Second Regiment
of Infantry. All these musical parties
performed vigorously, while now and
then flood of electric light added to
the entertainments the fantastic charac-
ter which comes from that kind of il
umination.-Berli Cor. British Re-

Fashionable French KleptOmaniac.

A kleptomaniac, a widow OF good
family and in comfortable circumstan-
ces, was yesterday sentenced to six
months Imprisonment. She is believed
to have stolen articles from a number of
diapers shops, and was lately detected
at the Magassns du Louvre slipping two
lace hapdkerchiefs into her muff. The
shopman who saw her do this, and
whose attention had been attracted by
her restless air, followed her into the
street and asked her whether she had
not forgotten something. She said she
had bought nothing, whereupon he
drew out the handkerchiefs. She offered
to pay for them, but he led her to the
desk, where she pulled a square of soap
and cosmetic from her pocket. These
she at first asserted she had paid for,
but afterward confessed she had stolen.
On being asked whether she had any
thing else, she replied in the negative;
but a shopman, on searching her,
found six articles, four of them in a
false pocket. At her lodgings muff,
waterproof, and other things from the
Bon Marche were discovered, amount
ing in value to $84.
The Magasins du Lougre, on learning
her connections, declined to prosecute,
but the Public Prosecutor insisted on
proceeding with the case. On her trial
the prisoner wept, and acknowledged
her guilt, adding that she had no need
to steal, and that she had lost her
senses when she did so.-Paris Cor.

INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS.

"A girl tried to commit suicide in

IousE.-Bills were introduced-to
Glass Type.

The usefulness of toughened glass,
says an English exchange, bids fair to
be greater and more serious than was
at first supposed. Some experiments
are reported to have been made in
France with view to showing whether
this substance can be pressed into the
printers service and substituted for the
metal composition of which types are
made. The metal does not at first
sight strike the observer as the best
that could be found. It is bright
enough when the letters first come
from the foundry, and before they haye
seen any service; but a few days wear
gives them a very much more dingy
appearance, and before they are finally
returned to the melting-pot they have
degenerated into very squalid form,
looking dirty in their bodies as well as
battered in their faces. The idea now
is to discard these long-proved but un-
attractive servants and fill their places
with glittering types of glass. The adj
vantages in point of cleanliness alone
would, tits alleged, be not Insignificant
But the Patgie points out that there are
other and more solid improvements in
volved in the new system. The tough
ened glass, which is not to be made in
quite the same way as that used for
tumblcrs and wine glasses, and need
not, Of course, be SO transparent, is
naturally much harder than the old
metal, and can hardly be crushed out
of shape by those little accidents which
SO shorten the life and spoil the beauty
of the only type We now employ. 1t is
also capable OF being cast into more
delicate shapes, SO that the difference,
for instance, between the thin and the
u tx strokes can be more clearly de-
fined. Finally, it is now found that the
new material can be cast in exactly the

An Extraordinary Career.

Gen. Charles Clarke, Ex-Governor of
Mississippi, died few days ago at the
age of sixty-eight. He served in the
Mexican War as volunteer, but was
sent home invalided as consumptive
by the surgeons. Their verdict DR..
Warren Stone, the highest authority of
the Southern Faculty, confirmed, one
lung having persisted completely, and
the Lieutenant was advised to go home
and lead the quiet life of planter,
avoiding all excitement, whereby he
might prolong his life for eighteen
months, or perhaps even for two years.
He went home but did not die; indeed,
after serving in the Legislature and
several public offices he was alive to
head Confederate brigade at Shiloh.
As he took parting glass with Col.

journalist, he said: II think you win

A Story Of Turner's Boyhood.

An anecdote has been preserved
which gives the very starting point of
the boys art life. One morning, when
''little Billy was about six years old,
the barber of Maiden Lane went to a
certain MIR. Tomkinson's, to dress that
gentleman's hair. The boy was al
lowed to accompany his father on this
occasion, and one can imagine him
trotting along, grand with the response
bility of carrying the BARRIERS scissors
or cur1ing-tongs. Mr.. Tomkinson was
rich silvcr-smith, whose house was
filed with many objects of beauty.
While the father was at work frizzling
the wig of his grand patron, the boy
was placed on a chair, where he sat in
silent awe, gazing, with his great blue
eyes, at huge silver salver on the table
at his side, adorned with rampant lions.
The barber's work finished, father and
son again turn their face toward the
dusky little shop in the lane. The boy
was silent and thoughtful all that day;
he sat upstairs, away from the confu-
sion of the little shop below, brooding
over sheet of paper. At tea-time he
appeared, triumphantly producing his
sheet Of paper. upon which was drawn
q lion, very good imitation of the one
mounted on the salver at Mr.. Tomkin-
sons. The lit lie barber, unlike some
parents whose children have given early
Indications of artistic talent, was beside
himself with delight. His sons voca-
ton was at once settled in his mind.

Saddle Rock roast is the equivalent Of

easily distinguished from solid silver
or a glass sugar-bowl. This always
takes the young men; it sets them to
thinking of housekeeping and matri-
mony; it makes them believe that you
are the incarnation of economy, and
would make an excellent wife; and so
they often say things which give hold
over them, or are effective before a

counsels, and acted upon them with
such earnestness and effect that when
