 "Hard hit, by Jove, 9 thought Wright, respectfully. .e- "I never saw woman I took deep interest in before, Wright. If she is what you say, l. shall never cease to re- gret the chance that threw me in her way.'' - "Pshaw! Why, man alive, I felt just so about her. One day I called and heard a few of her very disrespectful re- marks to all hands. The door was left ajar. She was sweet enough when she came in, though. Little does she dream why I treat her so indiherently. A glimpse behind the scenes, I verify be- ieve, was my salvation. Now her sister is right down fine girl. There is no deception about her. D.
 "How very plain. never saw two sisters afford such contrast in looks"
 Equally as great in character, Drew" "How can I believe her so false ?" thought Drew when he had retired. "Begad, catch me to believe it until I have seen for myself. Wrights advances were received coldly by my peerless one, I'll wage" , as ,s After having mapped out course for himself, he fell asleep and dreamed she was all his fancy painted her.

 "He is old and feeble. Don't speak so loud Myrtle; he may hear you.
 "Who cares if he does? Old people ought to die" (with vicious look at her grandmother, who was seated with them on the porch, it being warm, bright day in October). "Don't you give him crumb, Sarah. If we had dog, I'd set him on the old pest. :"
 The beggar slowly advanced, however, in spite of Myrtle's forbidding words. When quite near, he said to her in a cracked voice:
 "Lovely young lady, give me some food. I am nearly starving.'
 "Go to work or the almshouse,' she responded, giving her foot push, for all the world as if she would like to kick him out of the way. The slipper was ripped and down at the heel the stocking soiled and holey. The golden hair was snarly, and the lovely face as full of frowns and ill-nature as it could be.
 "Oh, don't Myrtle, darling. See how he trembles. Sit down, sir, and rest. I will bring you some food. Have you walked far? You are very weary"
 Well, Miss, be weary, for I've walked far and fared hard. There don't seem to be no place for old folks with no money especial. Its hard for 'em.
 "That's the truth" said Grandma.
 "They ought to die, of course," cried Myrtle.
 "I am ashamed of you," whispered Sarah, leaving to get the lunch she had promised. Sarah was neatly attired, and had been sewing. The beggar watched the trim, neat little fingers S she fitted into the:

remarkable man. with rather remark
able family history. His grandfather,
Viscount Lorton, owned the finest es-
tate in the west of Misunderstanding
ham. County Roscommon. He had two
sous. Phe eldest was reprooate. and
married o reprobste. by whom he had
son. When Lord Lorton died it was
found that he had only given his eldest
son q life interest in the estates, with
reyersion to his second son, the Hon K
King Harmon, who had taken the name
Of Harmon on succeeding to his grand
mothers great estates in County Long
ford. The reason of this disposition was
that the old Lord did not believe the
sou born to bis eldest son by bis wife TO
be by her husband. Consequently the
present Lord Lortou (who is now Earl
Of Kingston. having succeeded his
cousin in that titlcl wn, completely dis

the effect of permanently curbing any

among the hills, about eight miles to

spots where the grass and brush sood
have been previously cleared away for

ure, 1t is washed once more. and then
pounded on stone with large wooden
hammer; II is supposed to require 400
blows from this hammer TO reducs IL to
the necessary consistency; after which

left to soak until it becomes quite .

containing a liquid glus, made from
boiling q branch OF tree called the

and dipped twice into this liquid. Which
is made to run equally over the whole
surface, somewhat in the manner in
which the photographer allows the de-
veloping solution to run over his plate.
BY this means thin and tolersbly even
layer is left, which soon partially dries
and forms the sheet of paper, and
is removed by simply reversing the
frame. As soon IS q sufficient nnmber
of sheets has been made they are taken
to the drying room. This room con-
tains large brick oven. coated on the
outside with lime. and built up to
within few feet of the roof. Then on
the top Of this oven the paper is placed
in parcels of about foot IN thickness,
until perfectly dry; after which sheet
by sheet is dampened once more. and
while moist, is by means Of soft brush
made to adhere to the 'sidrs of the oven
for q short tune to undergo its final
process of drying. II is then taken
away to the packing room and made
into bales, weighing from 80 to l2Ocat-
ties each. a catty being equivalent 10 q
pounds avoirdupois. The largest sized
paper is about one chang (ll4 feet
long. and is worth one dollar sheet.
This particular size Of paper is made
entirely from the T'sn.shu-pi. but the
smaller sizes are composed of mixture
of the above mentioned bark, or the
bark OF the psper-mulberry tree. and
wheat straw. This paper is known by
the name Of Suanshih, and is consider
ed good quality paper in the Chinese
markets.

the Convention met at IL o'clock on
Saturday and the fight was going on over
the report of the Committee on Creden-
tials. One GRANT delegate was given a
seat in the West Va. delegation. The
State Convention had ignored all dele
gates elected in the districts, and selec-
ted 10 delegates and instructed them for
BLAINE. The opinion prevailed that
ballotting for a candidate would not
commence before Monday or Tuesday.
The "Bosses," CoNKLlNG, CAMERON and
LOGAN declare that they have 327f dele
gates solid for GRANT when the ball
opens and that they will stny for 300
ballots if necessary. The number neces
sary to nominate is 379. We are still
OF the opinion that GRANT will squeeze
through. II, after number of ballots,
the "Bosses" become satisfied that .the

cline to the opinion that Senator Ed
MUNDs or Senator CoNKLINe will be nom-
insted, with the chances in favor of the
former. BLAINE and SHERMAN are al
ready beaten.
