irony, proposed the health of the young
est man at the table, our distinguished
guest, whose arrival had been so long
anticipated and so eagerly hailed.
All drank the toast, and there fol-
lowed an awful pause. Every eye,
Eleanor Hartley's among the number,
was fixed on our newcomer. He rose
to his feet, and ventured to glance at
her. All was explained.
Oh, woman, what strange being you
are! Soft and yet triumphant was the
beautiful face of our queen. She was
bending little forward; her eyes glis-
tened; you would have said that she
was listening to some exquisite melody.
About him, too, there was change.
l was excited, and of course what saw
and heard was colored by my mood, but
L could have declared that the young
mans form had expanded, and that an
understandable dignity had crept into his
gestures. He stood upright, his voice
was clear and unfaltering; he did not
shrink from, he rather courted, the null
titude OF glances that were bent on him.
AS for his speech-sir, / have knocked
about pretty much, as you know, and now
and then mt dinners and elsewhere 1 have
knocked up against distinguished men,
but l have never heard a speech to
match this one. In substance it was a
review of the time he had spent in the
settlement. To hear him one might
have believed that he had seen through
our practical jests from the first, and
while seeming to be their victim, had
been quietly amusing himself at our ex-
pense. Its manner, the delicate irony
the wit, the forcible piquancy, should
be glad indeed to reproduce, but
OF such an effort L am incapa-
bic. Here was turning of the tables
My friends were bewildered; those
not in our secret applauded vocifer-
Ously. L alone knew who it was had
planned this triumph; and / was not
surprised when, few days later, it was
rumored abroad that Eleanor Hartley
and our newcomer were engaged to be
married. Rumor, for once, told true
tale. Before that cold season was over
was invited by Eleanor Hartley's father
to his daughters wedding.
"And would wager" said the gentle
man who had asked for the story, "that
my lady kept him in ORDER

Natural History.

A policeman having been called upon
to shoot dog in yard on Brush street
yesterday took a seat on Il fence, drew
up his legs out of danger and remarked
to himself as he took aim:
The seat of all vitality is the heart,
and here goes"
A COW in the lot beyond threw up her
head and went galloping around, and
the dog trotted over the yard as if per-
fectly mt home. The officer got O good
ready and observed:
1.-The fear of death is often as strong
~ exhibited in beasts as in men, and
their dying agonies have been known to
bring tears to the eyes of their execu-
tioners-bang"
A woman who was working up an old
knot in the alley flung down the ak,
put her head over the fence. and warned
the policeman that she didn't want to
be bothered any more, though she
wouldn't object to his shooting up in
the air if the police regulations re-
quired it.
Natural history asserts that the av-
erage life of canine is four years." re-
sumed the officer as he brought the re-
volver down again, land that they are
subject to fourteen different diseases.
1 will now take that chap right behind
the ear, penetrating skull and brain and
causing death in from two to four min
utes."
The smoke had scarcely lifted when a
melon peddler, whose horse was coming
down the street at slow pace, rose up
in his wagon and called out:
IF you boys don't stop shootin' beans
at me I'll wollop the hull crowd, rich
ones and all That ere last one just
licked my nose"
Natural hist began the officer,
whenthe dog discovered hole under
the fence and slipped into the street and
made off. Natural history" repeated
the blue coat as he dropped off the
fence, explicitly states that dogs must
stand still when being shot at, and if 1
didn't hit him it's the fault of educa-
on."-Detrou Free Press.

The old scoop-bOnnet is revived.
Trains are not so long as last year.
Elbow sleeves are very fashionable.
Square and round trains divide the
popular favor.
Silver lynx is the leading fur of the
! coming winter.
There is tendency to lengthen gem
tlemen's full-dress coats.
The short walking-dress is slowly but
surely gaining in favor.
The bonnet shapes of this season are
very like those of last year.
Plain and flat trimmings are to be
worn most on fall and winter dresses.
Dark-colored mixtures are preferred
for business coats and waistcoats.
Some of the new linen cuffs and col
lars are hair-striped, like the new
hosiery.
The fashionable morning hat for gen.
tlemen is still of fine felt with round
crown.
The long twelve OF six-button kid
glove, with the opening at the side seam,
grows in favor.
Dress hats for gentlemen have high
slightly bell crowns, narrow brims, curled
la Beebe, or with the French set OF
the brim.
- Figured coatings are still in vogue, for
gentlemen. Fine diagonals are preferred
for dress frocks, and powdered surfaces
for full dress.
Black velvet side sachels, embroidered
with garden and field flowers in bright
colors, but with no change in the clasps
or chatelaines, are seen among the new
fall goods.
The cut of trousers is still half large,
and with scarcely any curve at the in
step, but nicely rounded in the seams
over the hips, with the pockets inserted
in the seam an inch below the waist
band.
The leading fall riding habit has a
little more fullness in the back breadths.
The bodice has coat tails in the back,
and lapels and waistcoat in front. The
sleeves have no cuff. Riding trousers
are part of the suit. The skirt is Il
little longer.-NeW York Sun.
