AFTER THE BALL.

The moon sinking fast to the westward
just as a delicate crescent of light
The breeze, as IL played through the elm boughs,
Seemed to wish a whispered Goodnight"
Some moments we fingered in silence
At the gate, for how often we feel
That words can at best but too family
Our purest emotions reveal
TIL fairest Of ARREST fancies
In my thoughts to purpose was grown,
As felt light trtmul us pressure
OF the arm that toU ched lightly my own.
:" What is IL 2" asked, drawing nearer
I was thinking" he said with a sigh,
How their felder-coufOund him succeeded
In catching my prettest n.y."

WashingtOn,s viii.

Unless something is done very soon to
preserve 1t, Washington's will and the
accompanying notes will soon be lost.
That valuable document is now on file
in the Office of the Clerk of the Court in
Fairfax county, Va. II is kept in glass
case, and, from appearances, the writing
has almost all faded away. Owing to
its old age it will not bear handling.
The Clerk of the Court, some years ago,
had it copyrighted, 80 that now, under
the copyright law, he is the only person
who has right to publish it. In the
spring OF 1876, this Clerk published the
will in pamphlet form, and sold a great
many copies at the Centennial, and also
in other parts of the country. Recently
some gentlemen, both for the purposes
OF speculation and as a means of hav-
ing an exact copy, in case the original
faded away entirely, or was lost by fire
the building in which it is now kept
not being proof-made PROPOSE
ton to the Clerk of the Court to have
the will and accompanying notes, as
also the will of Martha Washington,
photo-ithograrhed, bat the Clerk re-
fused on the ground that in case this was
done it would prevent the sale of the in
complete pamphlet which he had is
sued, and which does not purport to
give fac-simile except of one page Of
the will. Application was then made to
the Librarian of the Congressional
Library, Mr. Spofford, for the purpose
OF testing the right of this Clerk of the
Court of Fairfax county, under the
copyright, to hold the exclusive right of
control and publication of the will. Mr..
Spofford answered that, so far rs he
knew, the Clerk of that court having
obtained copyright, there was no way
under the law to get it away from him
to have it photo. photographed, although
it was very desirable that fac-simile
should be obtained for preservation as
well as for distribution. 1t seems
strange that the law should thus put in
control OF one man, and his heirs or as
signs, the possession of this more than
valuable document, and that the Gov
eminent has no way to get it from him.
The only remaining way is for the Gov
eminent, or some private individual with
the means, to purchase the copyright.
Strange as it may seem, this will does
not appear in any of the published lives
OF or works on Washington, and conse-
quently but few of the people of this
country have ever read it in full. 1t
would pay handsomely as speculation
if some enterprising publisher could get
the use OF the original will t. have it
photo autographed, and it will be news
TO many readers to know that this docu-
ment can only be published by the per-
son referred to above Washington
Cor. Hartford Times.

For the Credit of the Family.

Ayoung gentleman was passing little
girl on Seventh street yesterday who was
sitting on the doorsteps and mixing the
air melodious humming overa tune. He
was interested by the sweet and intelli-
gent appearance of the child, and accost-
ing her the following dialogue took place:
Sissy, what's your pas name?' This
was politely answered by the little girl.
Chow many brothers have you ?"
"Four or five." "How many sisters 2"
"Four or five." The young mans curl
osity being satisfied he passed on. The
mother of the little 4.year-old (who had
neither brother nor sister, overheard the
conversation. and calling her in asked
her why she had storied to the man, and
received the following cute reply:
Well, mamma, didn't want the gen.
tleman to think we were 30 poor az TO
have no children. Columbus (Ohio)

Prom the Frying-P Pan into the Fire.

The blessings of the conquest of Bull
garia by the Christians arc thus set forth
in recent letter to London paper:
"The Bulgarians pay now about treble
the amount of the taxes to which they
were accustomed under the Turkish
rule, and can support this heavy in
crease only by reason of their unusual
earnings. The money is partly spent as
salaries for the Russian functionaries
and their Bulgarian clerks, while the
remainder appears to be absorbed by
the Bulgarian army now in organization.
For the good of the people, especially in
the towns where rigorous tax-levying,
combined with heavy fines for the least
and often imaginary contraventions, is
carried on, nothing whatever has yet
been DONE"

Herman Schuster's "Close Call. !"

Herman Schuster, of ST. Louis, awoke
the other morning to find himself dead.
That is to say, the newspapers said he
was dead, and that his body was at that
moment at the morgue. Mr.. Schuster
went to the place mentioned, and there,
sure enough, found himself laid out on
a marble slab, dead as anybody could
wish to be. The forehead of the corpse
was exactly like his own. The mus
tache likewise. The body wouldn't vary
in weight five pounds from the weight of
his own. The clothes of the inanimate
person were as much his own as if he
had worn them himself. "Vot ish de
COLOR of his eyes ?" asked Herman of
DR.. Ainbaugh. The doctor turned up
the corpse's eyelids and found that the
eyes were blue. "Dot ish PETER" said
Herman, with a long sigh of relief
dot ish not mine pody. Dose ice is
plue, and mine is plack. Colt in Hin
NELL vot narrow eshcape-vot a CLOSE
gall dose was!" 1t was the most re-
markable case of mistaken identity that
st. Louis has had in years. -Bufalo

Heart Disease and the Turkish Bath.

Perhaps 20 per cent. or more of the
whole population of the United States
think they have heart disease. Every
body who, under any excitement, feels a
little futtering in the region of the
heart thinks it is heart disease. 1t is
taken for granted that little palpita
ton is evidence of disease, and, there
fore, it is extremely dangerous" to
take the bath. Never was a greater
mistake.
In cases where there is real disease of
the heart, the danger lies in any sudden
or excessive forcing Of the blood through
the organs, just exactly the opposite eff
feet from that produced by the hot
rooms which is, paramountly, to pro-
duce an even circulation. and, there
fore to relieve the pressure which con-
stitutes the danger of heart disease. To
be sure, such person is liable to die
anywhere, and at any moment, but least
of all in Turkish bath, and for the
reason just given.
There is absolutely no foundation for
fear in any case, and the public need
only study the philosophy of the Turk
ish bath to be convinced of the sound
ness of our position. We have seen the
very worst cases of valvular diseases of
the heart treated i'll the bath, and that
after dropsy had set in and the case had
been given over as hopeless, but the re-
suits have always been favorable, and
the best effects have been obtained from
the highest temperatures. OF course
the bath could no more cure such cases
than it could replace an amputated
limb, but it has afforded relief and added
years of usefulness to lives that were
despaired Of Hartford Times.

EurreLcips of china.

The Department of State has received
very interesting memorandum on the
currency of China from Mr.. Seward,
United States Minister at Picking. The
Chinese Government issues no gold or
silver coins. The pieces called by the
natives "ch'ien, by the English "cash, p"
and by the French "sapeque, from the
Portuguese sapeca, are OF copper va
riously alleged. They are cast, not
minted, and are circular, with square
holes in the center, used in stringing
them together. Their standard value is
the 1,000th. part of tael of silver, ac-
cording to the Chinese treasury scale.
By curious fiction each piece of cash
is called two (cash). Their actual value
in circulation, as compared with silver,
varies at the several posts, thus: l, 900
cash are required to purchase tae's
weight of silver at Newchwang, and but
1,66S at Swatou. Their value has tluc-
tuated in fourteen years as much as 33 !
per centum. Counterfeits of the copper
ensabound. Their purchasing power
is very uniform, and they practically
constitute the standard currency OF the
empire. Great abuses have been prac-
ticed in their coinage. In the Sung
dynasty (960 to 1920 they were made
$50 small that they were called geese
eyes and so thin that they would swim
upon the water" Silver passes by
weight, but the standard of the tael va
ries appreciably in the different prov
inces and ports. The Kuping tael is the
most general standard in use, but the
Holkwan tael is used in collecting GUS
toms duties. The relation of silver and
gold is very variable. The lowest quo.
tation for thirty years past is to II. s
Cat Shanghai in 1850; the highest, to
17.5 Cat Picking in August, 1875.

The Russian hospitals near the mouth
of the Danube are rilled to overlooking
with cases of typhus, and the majority Of
patients are now under canvas. An
epidemic of the same disease is prevalent
among the Russian troops in Asia Minor,
and the mortality continues to be very
great. About fifty of the medical staff
have already fallen victims to the disease,
the spread of which is favored by the ex-
cessive moisture.

THE Louisville COurier-.yournal says
of the late race: Mollie cCarthy was
beaten, but not by Ten Brock. Pace
did it. She took the track and tried to
keep it. Ten Brock waited and won.
He outlasted her. The California "won-
der" killed herself, and, if the race
proved failure for this reason, there is
no cause for calling it fraud.

THE HOT SEASON"
by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

At last two Farenhe t. blew up,
And killed two children small,
And one barometer shot dead
tutor with its ball.
Now all day long ,he locust sang
Among the leahess trees:
Three new hotels warped inside out
The pumps could only wheeze;
And ripe old wine. that twenty years
Had cobwebbed DER in vain,
Came spouting through the rotten oorks
Like July's best champagne.
The Worcester locomotives did
Their trips In half an hour;
The Lowell cars ran forty miles
Before they checked their power;
Roll birthstone soon became drug,
And loco-focos fell;
All asked for ice, but everywhere
Saltpetre was to sci.
Plump men of mornings ordered tights,
But, ere the scorchiDg Moons,
Their candle mods had grown as loose
AS Cossack pantalooDs!
The dogs ran mad-men could notify
If water they would choose;
A horse fell dead-he only left
Four red-hot, rusty shoes
And all about the warehouse steps
We're angry men In droves,
Crashing and splinteriDg through the doors
To smash the patent sovesl

Eth but he was DIT to be king-the
grandest, kindest, best of living men !;
who rode away with the break of the
morrow aud never stopped till he
reached Liverpool, and found Evan
Locke just ready TO set foot upon the
Golden George, and told him tale that
made his heart light and sent him back
to me- hut our young Squire ? Heaven
bless him
And who was it that sent old grand
father the deed Of gift that made the
cottage his own, and who spoke a kind
word to the gentry for young DR.. Locke
that helped him into practicea Still no
one but Squire Tuner, whom we taught
our children to pray for every night. For
we were married, and in few years had
boys and girls at our knees; and, when
the eldest was nigh2 the thing needed
to make me quite happy happened-and
| from far over the sea, where he had been
three good twelve-months, came our
Squire, with the bonniest lady that ever
blushed beside him, and the hall had a
| mistress at last-and a mistress who
loved the Squire as / loved Evan.
En- but it's an old story. She that /
remembered girl l saw in her coffin,
withered and old. And then they opened
he vault where the Squire had slept ten
years to put her beside him; and I've
nothing left of Evan, my life and my
love, but his memory, and it seems as ii
every hope and dream of Joy ever had
we're put away under tombstones. And
even the Golden George, the great, strong
ship that would have borne my dear from
one, has moldered away on the bottom OF
the sea somewhere. Aud 1 think my

will meet tonight at the Grand Hotel
Two coats and pair of pants were stolen
yesterday from Charles Curry, No. 273 West
Fourth street.
THE team of Theorge Brookhouse far
mer from Bridge, ran away on Findlay
street yesterday afternoon, wrecking the
wagon.
WALTER THOMPSON, a lad whose parents
live at 399 Main street, was run over by
carriage at Eighth and Main streets last
evening but luckily, only slightly injured.
EARLY last evening burning chimney
caused the alarm of fire from Box LAG, Third
and Colard streets. The alarm from Box
17S was caused by fire in the stable of Mr.
T. D. Woodrow on Oak street. Damage
about $500.
THE steamer Wildwood, which arrived
last evening brought down two herds of
cattle from Mason County, Kentucky, en-
route for exhibition at the Northern Ohio
Fair at Cleveland and the State Fair at
Columbus the coming week.
THE attendance at the Hamilton County
Fair yesterday was a considerable falling off
from Thursday but nevertheless, was such
as to encourage the managers in carrying
out the programme. Premiums were
awarded in all the departments mentioned
except in singing, for which there was no
contest, and which will be settled at the
next meeting of Hamilton County Grange
at Concord on the last Thursday in October.
The gate receipts amounted to about $500.
THE liveliest lot of lunatics that DR.. Mil
Ter has received since his residence at Long
view called upon him last evening. The
company numbered some thirty persons
from the eastern part of the city, who made
the trip out in four-horse omnibus. Peo-
pie who saw the party going had no doubt
of its destination, but why they were
allowed to return is what puzzled a good
many They were cordially received by
DR.. Miller and his associates little after s
O'clock and spent till 10 observing and par
ticipating in the Friday evening dance The
remarkable quietness that prevailed all the
time is attributable to the soothing rays of
the full moon, which from time immemo-
~ial has been known to have just this effect.
