SOUR EMILY"

| was visiting friend in San Fran
cisco, where | continually heard the
praises of "our Emily Everything
that was done by which the family were
benefited seemed to have its origin in
''our Emily"
"Such a prize few housekeepers
have, | am sure" said Mrs. Justin.
And when l took her | only wanted a
table-girl; now she is nursery, govern
ess, housekeepcr, companion and gen
eral adviser, all in one"
"And where is she now?n l asked.
81 sent her yesterday out of town to
bring home my little lame boy, who
has been stopping with his aunt for a
change of scene and air. IeXpect her
home to-day"
"Where did you find your prodigy?"
further questioned.
"In New York, at almost the last
moment. The girl l had engaged
failed me. l saw Emily at the depot.
She looked cast down, as though in
trouble, but still liked her face. 1t is
a peculiar face, not handsome, but
thoughtful and pleasing. We entered
into conversation, and | found that she
was anxious for home.
elf / could only get a good home"
she said, 81 wouldn't care for cent of
wages"
"That settled me. / offered her a
home and wages on the spot, and five
minutes after that she sat by my side
with my baby in her arms in a car
bound for California.
Il have never had reason to repent
my decision. Emily has nursed nae
through sickness, and proved herself a
most efficient aid in every respect. |
don't know what | should do without
her, and am only afraid that somebody
will want to marry her and take her
from me. Still, she has already re-
fused two offers and declares she will
never marry"
| was curious to see Emily.
Emily knit the tides, Emily did this
and did that; and even in the ornamen-
tation of the flower-garden and its
borders, my friend said, smilingly,
"Oh, leave all that to Emily"
At six o'clock came a carriage. The
day had been dull, and it was now a
dusky twilight, but was on the look
out for "our Emily" Iheard the shut
ting of doors, the coming of feet, the
laughter of children, and then the door
opened.
Following my friend was tall young
woman of slender proportions, who
took off her wraps as she entered, and
walked with them half across the room,
when she encountered my glance.
AT that moment the laugh died on
her lips, the red went out of hercheeks,
her eyes dilated, she seemed like per-

Juliet's Mistake.

Some little fun has been created by
an incident in which a young New York
lady, who has just made her appear
first summer at Newport, figures. She
is stopping in one of the cottages, whose
identity | will not further indicate than
by saying that it was located between
the beach and Coggeshall's Ledge.
She has lover, a dashing, cookbook
ing fellow, who somehow has come
under the displeasue of both papa
and mamma, and is deprived of the
pleasure of quiet tete-a-tete in the
paternal parlors. 1t twas arranged that
meeting should take place in spite of
maternal vigilance, and the Forty Steps
was the spot determined upon, where
an hour chat could be enjoyed with
out disturbance. 1t so happened that
Romeo was called to New York on the
appointed night, and ill-luck would
further have it that the boy who carried
his regretful missive to Juliet missed
his mission. In blissful ignorance of
all this, Juliet sped away to the steps
and saw as she supposed, Romeo mus
inc on the rocks at the bottom. She
waited a sufficient space of time to be
noticed, and then she tossed stone to
the object of her affections, if possible
to rouse him from his reveries 1t
splashed into the water almost at his
feet, and he turned to see a hand waiv-
ing him up the steps and hear voice:
LEY, why don't you keep your APP
pointment?" The youth CALAMITY
bounded up the steps, and, lifting his hat,
stood before her. She uttered, not one
little scream, but a series, so piercing,
and following one another so quickly,
that party of gentlemen and ladies
hurried down the graveled walk to her
assistance. "John, you scoundrel,
what do you mean?" demanded one
of the gentlemen of the handsome mu-
latto, whose skin was tinged so slightly
that the color REDEEMED his cheeks, and
who still stood before the young lady,
hat in hand. 81 thought he was
ley" she sobbed; and the good
looking waiter, exonerated from all
suspicion, lost no time in relieving HIM
self from the embarrassing situation,
while she pleaded illness, and was es-
corted to the boundary line of her
fathers realms. She will laugh at the
incident year from now, but at pres
ent the future seems dark and drear.- -

The Grand Canyon Of the Arkansas.

And you actually believe me rash
enough to expect you to stand upon the
edge of the mighty wall of the Royal
| George and look down its rocky face to
the very bottom? No man could do it
and live. The unconquerable tendency,
when ut such fearful elevation, to lean
forward would destroy equilibrium and
a collar box would hold all remaining
of the body after striking the rocks be-
low. | have not the remotest notion
of tempting you to stand within four
feet of the gorge. | wouldn't walk
nearer than that myself for an heirship
in the Vanderbilt estate. 1t is quite
evident, my dear fellow, that you are
not posted in the proper and eminently
safe mode of doing the Royal George of
the Grand Canyon of the Arkansas.
You keep your perpendicular until with
in four or five feet of the edge of the
precipice, then you drop upon all-fours,
and lying down gently upon the robe
furnished by the guide or yourself,
thrust your eyes and nose over and
glance into eternity. At least it seems
ar eternity of space to the bottom,
where the Arkansas River appears to
be hardly larger than your wrist, and
what you take for underbrush are great
tall pines. When your nerves are some
what steadied and your breath relieved
in a measure from the terrible tension
of the first shock of awe, the guide will
treat you to a taste of natural dynamics
likely to make each individual hair
stand on end like quilts, etc, etc. This
guide. to whom the thing is business,
and is therefore carried on with an eye
single to business, will 90 to the ragged
and broken edge of the rock at a safe
distance from where you lie, and with
Il crowbar brought with him expressly
for the purpose, will commence driving
into some crevice in the rock overhang-
ing the chasm. You watch his every
blow with bated breath, and as the
pOnderOus mass trembles at each lusty
thrust, your tongue parches from the
quickened beatings of the heart. The
rocky mass shivers and clings to the
parent wall with q tenacity almost hui
man, and finally, with a despairing
wall as it shoots through the clear-cut
air, plunges into space. In the fraction
of an instant you are dead to every
thing but your eyes, which fasten with
breathless fascination upon the mighty
mass of rock shooting like a light
ming bolt to destruction 1000 feet be-
low. Another fraction of an instant,
and mutfled echo rises in requiem of
that which was, but now is dust Soon
a cloud of ashes comes floating upward,
the walls of the gorge being as the urn
holding the remembrance of the crema-
ton. Again and again the monster
boulders are loosened and hurled to the
depths, and again the clouds of dust
arise, the tiny particles mingling with
the air which chants monody of such
mournful intensity and ponderous pow
er that one feels as though the very
mountains We're vibrating to the stu
pendous cadence.-R0cby M0untajn

A Snakes Wonderful Feat.

Speaking of snakes, Superintendent
Brown, of the Geological Garden, said
that he could tell snake story and not
second handed one either. About q
year ago one of the large reptiles in
the collection took sick and seemed to
be going into decline. Nothing that
they could give him appeared to do him
good, and from loss of appetite and
sleeplessness the snake became mere
wreck of his former self. A large
blanket had been placed in the SER
pents cell for him to sleep upon. One
morning the keeper found that the
blanket had disappeared. Search was
made throughout the cage, but without
success. At the same time the snakes
body had swelled to the thickness of u
good-sized sapling. He had swallowed
the blanket. But the blanket wouldn't
digest, and the snake became sicker
than before. In this manner he lolled
around like wan dyspeptic for over
four weeks. Finally the blanket was
discharged by natural causes. Imme-
diatcly the snake began to improve.
The swelling in his body gradually
dwindled down and he grew larger and
fatter than before, till the box became
too small to hold him. He ate like u
gormand, and at times found room for
two or three times the customary
quantity of food. The blanket acted as
a sort of medicine upon his stomach
and cleaned him out entirely. Now
he is fifteen feet long, eighteen inches in
circumference, and is the healthiest
boa constructor of the lot. A change of
color was the only visible effect on the
blanket. Under the microscope it
showed that it had become a little worn
by being rubbed in the animals stom-
ach. 1t came out undigested and it
was carefully packed away in the Su-
perintendent's private Office where it
now lies. -PhilGde phia Times.

take the balloon up to the common for
rear mob might destroy it,
=" How do you propose ever to utilize
the inyentionpn
" In a hundred ways. As soon as |
have perfected it, and people come to
understand it thoroughly, it will come
INTO use. Even now, I've had ever so
many applications for machines; but a
man couldn't use one if he had it. This
one is small, and intended only for ex-
hlDltlon under cover. The weight of
the cylinder or balloon is sixty pounds,
OF the machine proper, forty-eight, and
Mark weighs ninety-siX, so the weight
IS 2O4 pounds But am going to make
bigger one during the next six months
that will carry two heavy men. You
see don't have to carry any ballast or
waste any gas, 50 | need only 5000
cubic feet of gas. Now, the prOpelling
fan is equal to 800 cubic feet of hydro
gen IN raising the balloon and to thirty
hive pounds of ballast in lowering it.
The thing is run entirely by hand, and
is nothing in size compared with all the
others that have been tried in this coun-
DIODtllluO-
that is, the raising and lowering fan
is only twenty inches in diameter and
makes 1000 revolutions minute. The
steering fan is two inches smaller and
revolves $500 times minute.
"Themachine is propelled by turning
wheel by handle, and is steered by
the feet resting on treadles, the navi-
gator sitting astride the machine. The
advantage of this over all other balloons
is that it can be made to fly swifter
than the wind and to cross from side to
side of current of air moving toward
another point. By rising or descend
ing and moving in various directions
favorable current will inevitably be
reachd to bear the aeronaut on his pro-
posed Quincy. When the big machine
is made | propose to send it on q trip
from New York to Chicago, to make
the voyage in six hours. But this one
is too snail for extensive travelling.
Where thee is no wind it will travel
six or seveh miles an hour. 1t goes up
mile i'll a minute, and comes down in
two minutes. | have never been in it
myself, but when the large one is fin
lshed intend TO take ride. The ma
chine will be used, am sure, in reach
ing the North Pole, and ships going to
the Polar regions will hereafter proba-
bly, carry it. For military purposes,
too, it would be very valuable. When
was making it people laughed at me
good deal; but so they did at Noah
when he built the ark"
Mr.. Ritchel is Yankee, having been
born in Portland, Me. He has also
lived in Detroit, Chicago, Newark, and
few years ago had factory in this
city. But he holds that New England
is " the part of the country" When
the weather gets little cooler he is
coming to this city to exhibit his flying
machine indoors and out. Several cir
cuses, hesays, have announced it among
their exhibitions without authority, and
he has had an offer to exhibit it in
Paris, the birthplace of aeronautics.-
