"That's all right, my man. You're
welcome to such rs it was''

Ermine, walking to and fro on the
balccny that commanded a view of hill
and dale, valley and stream, watched
the wide carriage-road down which
presently came the barouche, its pranc-
ing horses and liveried servants, and
from which he saw Mabel Clarrence's
exquisite pink and fair face, with its
laughing, joyous eyes and Heating,
lovely hair-h vision beautiful enough
to have made any mans pulses stir.
Only that it was the sight of another
face beside Mabel's-pure, thoughtful,
almost plain, yet so thoroughly woman
ly, stronghold and happy-Madge
Ciarrance's face, the sight of which
thrilled Caryl Ermine to his very soul,
the touch of whose hand as he assisted
his summer-day guests from the carriage
he had sent for them, sent his heart all
a-throb.
Little Madge had never dreamed Mr..
Ermine cared for her until that day,
when he told her so.
If it had been Mabel, Mr.. Ermine,"
sllc stlu, III HtT SWttis uHSclitSu " dN :.
''How ever could you have passed our
beautiful Mabel to-to-look at me?''
'sDoes that mean you don't love me !;
or that you think that had better trans
fer my allegiance to Mabel, the beauti-
ful?"
She nestled closer to him, looking up
with such tender eyes.
ooh, no, no! l could never give YOU
up-now. Only l don't understand it at
all"
He smoothed her ripping hair softly.
LET me tell you little story. Once
upon time there was a-a-well, We'll
call him a beast, who agreed with beau
ty that it would be quite fair to disguise
himself and see if beauty could detect
him, which she was so sure she could do.
Well, this beast did disguise himself, and
instead of beauty discovering him he dis
covered wonderful pearl. That's all
Kiss me, pearl"
That was all Mr.. Ermine ever told,
and it was all Madge ever knew, while
Mabel, chagrined and disappointed at
her ill luck, at last yielded gracefully
and made very fair sister-in-law, never
dreaming in all her life that the man in
her mothers kitchen had altered all her
life for her.

SNOW has fallen in Rome for the first
time since 1871, to the great delight and
wonder of the children born since that
date. A brilliantly white sheet covered
all the roofs, and at about 9 n. IN. the
flakes came down so thiekly that people
might have fancied themselves in
Northern city. The illusion, however,
was short one, as at 10 the sun broke
through the clouds, and melted it all
away in half an hour. Snow has also
fallen in great quantities at Genoa,
Venice, Verona, Milan and Florence.

Thirty Cents Worth of Real STYLE.

A couple of young ladies who went
from Dubuque to Chicago to spend the
holidays concluded to couple style with
economy, and did so effectually. They
left Chicago in a common coach on the
Illinois Central Railroad, sitting with
their eyes towards a luxurious palace
car trundling along at the rear, envying
the half-dozen ladies who had it all to
themselves. When the train arrived at
Freeport the two stylish young ladies
concluded to engage seats in the palace
car, and entered it for that purpose.
s'The seats in this car are extra,
ladies'" politely remarked the conduc-
tor.
"We are aware of that, sir. What do
you charge to Dubuque?"
"One DOLLAR
some dollari That's too much.''
"The price diminishes, ladies, as we
approach Dubuque"
"What is the price from Galena?''
''Thirty cents
"Well, we will occupy two seats from
Galena''
Gall right
The young ladies left the Pullman, and
as they made their exit they were heard
to remark:
ssJane, it would be horrible to enter
Dubuque in a common coach. Style is
every thing, and as it won't cost but 80
cents each we'll go into the city in
style; they wont know but that we came
all the way from Chicago in the Pull
man.
And sure enough upon the arrival of
the train their friends who were at the
depot to meet them found them in the
palace coach.-E1thange

A BIG bully whipped a boy at Lexing-
ton, Ky. On the following day the boy
patrolled the street in front of the bully's
house with the handle of huge pistol
protruding from his pocket. The man
saw this when he came out and fled in
terror. The boy gave chase, wildly
brandishing the weapon, and the fugi-
tive and pursuer went through street
after street at the top of their speed,
the latter calling piteyusly on the spec
tators for help. A policeman at length
arrested the boy, and then it was discov-
cred that the pistol was not only I'M
loaded, but was devoid of a trigger.

THE IRON-TRADE.

Special D5pdfch 70 The Chicago 1FlbnNE
P1rTsBURG, Pa.. Dec. u.-lron manufact-
urers here take exceptions to the statement
of your correspondent that orders are falling
off, and several mills are on the eve Of shut
ting down. Their side Of the story is that,
while prices are very low, orders are abull~
dant, many Of the mills having enough on
hand to keep them busy throughout the sea-
son. This may be correct but the opposit
view prevails to some extent, those who ad-
vance it saying that the boom which co1n-
menced shortly before the election was more
fictitious than real, the object>o the MANU-
facturers being to conciliate tho workingmen+
and induce them to stand by the protective
tariff. A few months will tell which Of these
positions is the correct one. Meanwhile all
the mills here continue in operation, with
nothing to indicate to M outsider that trouble
Of any kind is impending.

It will be noticed that in the Fifth Precinct
Mieroslawski gained 1l5H votes and Scharlau
eight, and in tho Second he gained ntpety-fiye.
At this rate OF gain, Schar1au will no doubt
carry the day, but the contest will be carried
into the Legislature.
These miscounts are extraordinary, and such
revelations of judicial incompetence arc apt to
be followed by unpleasant results. Hereafter
every defeated candidate will demand a recount.
and it will be weeks after IN election before it
is known who the Observation-Disclosures actually
are. One cause Of the trouble is undoubtedly
the large districts for the greater the vote the
greater the liability to error.
