WHAT LITTLE NELL DID.


up in the north lot-the Philbrick
children and Little Nell.
Little Nell was not one of the
Philbrick children ; in fact, she
was not the most distant sort of
q cousin to Will, Jack, and Polly.
She was Dick Longs daughter,
and Dick Long had been poor,
shiftless fellow, who cobbled shoes,
for a time, in the village, two
niles from the PhiIbrick farm,
and then went away to California
never to be heard from again.
He was not much loss, to be
sure, So the neighbors thought,
but it killed his wife, and when
she died, good Mrs. Philbrick
opened her motherly heart and
arms to Little Nell, and took her
in.
Her real name was Henrietta,
but Miss Jackson; the dressmaker.
who read Charles Dickens stories
a great deal, called her one day,
Little Nell,' and it clung to her
ever after.
You sec she was quiet, shy
little creature, with such big; soft,
brown eyes, and such a sweet,
coolng voice, that Henrietta
seemed too long and hard name
for ber.
1t was Saturday afternoon; and,
as I told you, Will and Jack and
Polly and Little Nell were going
hazel,nutting. They each carried
a basket, and each basket had q
iaky apple turnover.
These were for lunch, in case
the children got hungry and we
know, don't we, that growing
wide-awake boys and girls are al
ways getting hungry?
1t was long time before they
reached the north lot. Polly for
got her 'kid fingers and had to
20 back for them, else her poor
little hands would have been
stuck full of prickles. TheD Jack
must needs chase a. a.woodpecker q
long way while the three waited
for him.
But they got their baskets fclI
of nuts, with their prickly Gov
erings, and ate their turnover
all but Jack. That is to say
Jack ate his turnover with the
rest, but be had not filed his
basket.
| l think he had spent toe much
Of the afternoon in chasing the
little red squirrels, and in balanc
ing himself on the smooth los
which spanned the brook. Now
the sun had gone down. 1t wa!
growing late and chilly.
Jack kicked GROSSLY at a de
cayed stump.
You should have worked NOR,
and played less,' laughed Will
looking at his own heaped W
basket.
Mind your own bread and but
ter retorted Jack, savagely. 'Yol
needn't be afraid Of my asking 70
any of yours
1t was not at all a nice way for
brother TO talk. So thought Lit
Tie Nell, and she slapped her han'
softly into Jacks. Come nom
now, Jacky,' she SAID, and LII giv

and gave the old stump a parIln!

she asked.

cried Jack, briskly digging away

Garfield Memorial Service.

Berlin, 3O.-Funersl services in mem
DRY Of General Garfield were celebrated
to-day in the principal sides of the town
hall, which was drsped in mourning,
Many persons were present, including
members of the diplomatic corps and
scientific and learned societies, minister
of the interior, public works and justice
and high military and municipal authori-
ties. Prof. Gneist delivered an Grafton
before colossal bust of the dead Presi.
dent. He declared that the provideDtisl
festure of General Garfeld's career was
his strong will, which caused him to step
above parties in political conflicts, and
fitted him to act impartislly as pilot up
stream. He understood there would be
an abolition of the system of spoliation
and plumber, which caused Guitteau to
seize the sssassin's weapon, without re-
gard to the loss the nstion would sus-
tain, and without perceiving that his act
would stamp the brand of infamy upon
the system. Garfeld's martyrdom like
Lincoln's, indicated the irrevocsble abo-
litien Of the system of plumber. There
WAS choral music ct the opening and
conclusion Of the service.

Gibraltar 80 be Sold.

New York, So Worlds London: For
some time past it has been whispered ct
the clubs that the government wants to
sell Gibraltar, and the story seems to
have some foundation. It is said that the
subject has been discussed in the cabinet
md the premier's proposal met with no
very decided opposition from his COL
leagues. OF course it will be very easy
for Mr. Gladstone to convince the radi-
Gals that the interests of pesce, public
morality and eternal justice demand the
sale, but there will be loud outcry not
only from the old gingers of the army
and navy, who spend their days in up
braidine their equity limbs and cursing
rsdicalism, but for moderate liberals to
withdraw from Gibraltar would be to
take the first step in Lord Sherbrooke's
(Mr. Lowe programme for the abandon
ment of India and give notice to all the
world that England was about to retire
from the imperial business. SpsEiards
know their man and will offer low price
ut first, but the bidding will advance and
the premier will probably be easily salts
fed. He auctioned off the guns Of the
citadel of Quebec without compunction,
and will doubtless argue that as Wolfe
shed more lustre on the British arms than
Sir George Rookie. who seized the Rock
in the name of Queen Anne, or Lord
Heathfeld, its gallant defender in later
years, it is only false pride thst induces

terrsnean after having dismantled the

Keys CroOkedness.

New York, 31.-The Times prints an
other chapter of the star route case, pre-
senting new features in General Key Is
administration of the postal department,
and his withdrawing Of the frauds. It
says, st the very threshold of the de-
partment the new postmaster-generai
was presented with report from Mr..
TRlcett Williams, OF the results of an
inquiry he had been permitted to make
on condition that the results be submitted
prior to publication. The document was
O plain. STRAIGHTFORWARD, careful statement
Of facts. going somewhat minuteiy into
the details, and showing very clearly the
character, purpose and methods of the
star route schemes. The results Of the
inquiry which General Key hsd required
to be submitted 10 him before publica-
ton, are now for the first time pub
lished. If he made the requirement for
the purpose of preventing publication he
succeeded. That that was his object is
an inference entirely consistent with his
subsequent course regarding the Tyner
report. He had early in his term full
knowledge Of all essential facts regard
ing the star route frauds. Afterward in
the TyDer report he had absolute con-
frmation of this knowledge. He did
nothing, but after two years of retire
ment he comes to the surface as an apol-
ogist for the authors and abettors oftheae
frauds. ae might better have kept still
and let, if it could, the evil he did get
its righteous penalty without calling pub
lie attention TO his humiliating connec-
ton with it.

All the inhabitants of Sny Valley have

taking refuge in this city. The water is
steadily spreading over Thousands of
acres Of fertile farms, protected by the

will be very heavy. All levees In this
vicinity have been broken by the great
pressure of water, and the low lands are
now completely flooded. This is the
greatest food ever known at this season
Of the year, and there is no record of a
higher stage st any time, excepting dur
ing the spring freshets in 1851.
