As the season advanced, there
were apples to be gathered and pack
ed away in barrels or else peeled,
strung on long cords, and hung up
to dry. The frost opened the chest
nuts, and they and the hickory-nuts
afforded many an hours busy sport
for the children and many a Jolly
woodland excursion was taken on
Saturday, while the men cut down
trees, brought them nome, and cut
and piled wood for the Thanksgiv
ing fires. One grand excursion to
the cranberry swamps closed the
season, and on this occasion the
baskets and pals, filed with bright
red berries, were crowned with
wreaths Of ground pine, branches of
hem!ock, aud twigs of shining holly,
with which to decorate tie old farm
house for the grand Puritan Christ
mas,-the Thanksgiving festival.
Meanwhile, the children, Amanda
snd Jake, happy and contented, had
been growing healthy and strong

4 A colored porter employed in a shop
at Little Rock, Arkansas, appears to
have appropriated money in an original
manner. The tradesman had contin-
ually missed small sums from his cash
drawer, and could not account for their
disappearance. Finally he suspected
the porter, and he had him searched
every evening before going home, but
he could find no ground for his suspi-
cion, and was at his wits end to ex.
plain the mystery, when he observed
one night that a tame female Gypsum,
in the habit of following the negro
everywhere, did not accompany him.
The animal seemed DESTROYS to go, but
for some reason could not move. The
shop-keeper, thinking her i'll, took
hold of her, and was surprised at her
weight. Reversing her position, the
enigma was solved. A shower of small
silver coins descended from her pouch
to the floor, and betrayed the darkey's
thefts. He had overloaded her on that
occasion, and she could not follow, as
had been her custom when more
freighted.

The Mikado of Japan has been de-
fendant in lawsuit in England. 1t
was, perhaps, the first time that the
sovereign of nation has ever thus
figured. British subjects, having a
patent on certain bombshells, procured
the seizure of number that had been
sent to England for transportation to
Japan, on the ground that their patent
had been infringed by the manufactur-
ers. The shells had been purchased
for tho Mikado, who applied for leave
to be made a defendant in the suit, for
the purpose of asserting his rights. The
Master of the Rolls decided that the
English courts have no jurisdiction
over the property or person of foreign
sovereign, and that the Mikado's vol
UNFAIRLY becoming defendant under
the circumstances of the case did not
give them jurisdiction over him. The
order directing the seizure of the shells
was declared invalid, and the Mikado
adjudged to have the right to remove
the shells at his pleasure; and this de-
cision was affirmed on appeal.

Startling stories arc told in select so
ciai circles up town of recent cases o
mistaken identity in clothing that
many ladies think, appear like down
right stealing on the part of certain
women who move in good society.
1t is said that a lady cannot leave /:
valuable outer garment In the dressing
room, when she attneds an evening
party or a "tea" at the house of a
friend, with any certainty of finding it
on her return from the drawing-room.
In its place sho very often finds gar
ment of the same general texture and
pattern, but shabby and unpleasantly
venerable with wear and age. This
general resemblance, however, in the
event of the person who made the sub
stitution being discovered, is made the
excuse for tho substitution, and the lady
gets her own again with many apollo
gies. So frequent arc the cases that it
has become positively unsafe to leave
valuable shawls or sacques even under
the surveillance Of merely the maid
stationed to aid the ladies in their
toilets.
Aninstance is known Of a lady, whose
name nearly every reader would recog-
nize were it printed, who left n $4,000
cameps hair shawl in the dressing
room OF a handsome house on a fashion,
able thoroughfare, where tea was
being given by Il hostess also we'll
known in the social world. On retiring.
the lady found in place of her new eS-
pensive shawl one faded and worn,
with the fringe torn in places. On dis.
covering the substitution the guest
sought the hostess, and, with much
emphasis, declared that, rs the shawl
had been lost in the latter's house, she
would hold her responsible. Nerved to
desperation by this ultimatum, the
hostess called upon that one of her
guests who she believed from the de.
scription furnished by the maid in at
tendance in the dressing-room had ex-
changed her old shawl for Mrs. KS
new. She explained her errand, and,
while affecting to assume that tho ex-
change had become voluntary one.
spoke with an assurance that that ar
gued entire knowledge rs to the iden-
tity of the perpetrator. Tho accused
woman at once admitted the possibility
OF a mistake having been made. one
OF her daughters coming to the rescue
with the assertion that, on leaving the
tea, she had wondered what made her
mothers shawl look SO much newer
and fresher than usual! Mrs. X. is
again the possessor Of her pa, 900 shawl
Another story is that young lady
who is the very opposite Of Mrs. X. as
regards decision of character, found
that, during her absence from the
dressing-room, an old and dingy sacqus
had been substituted for her handsome
fur-lined cloak. Being unlike Mrs. X.
