x Touching Story.

On a narrow island near the New Eng
land coast, where primitive customs still
obtain, where the crier goes about the
streets by day and the watchman by night,
where they dispose of sulphur meat by
auction, and the merry maiden and the tar
go junketing together in an ancient calash,
lives an old lady, Auntie B. The
same roof has sheltered three generations
of her family, and it would require little
less than an earthquake to dislCdge her
from her seat by the old fashioned fire.
place. There she sits, picture of peace
and contentment. Haven't you a single
regret in your whole life?" We asked her
once She dropped her knitting, and a
dreamy look crept over her placid eyes
'.Yes," she said at length, 81 have. Ten
years ago. when my dear dead sister was
alive, a man with hand-organ came to
this Island ~ the steamer. Oh ne could
play beautifully. He came near our street,
and my sister says to me: ''Let us go
down to the corner anu see hun play"
Well, do you know, didn't go, after all,
but she said it was Just splendid, and, |
suppose L shall regret not hearing that
hand-organ to my dying day." And the
dear old soul dropped tear on the half
heeled stocking.

John Chinaman, M. ID.

Chinese quacks do profitable business
with white patients as well as with their
Mongolian countrymen in San Francisco
In health the average citizen sneers at the
methods of the Chinese empire; but tor
tured by incdrable disease he fees to the
Mongolian quack for the comfort denied by
competent white practitioners The Mon
golIan quack humors him to his full bent
with promises of restored health, and the
poor victim cheerfully bestows his last dol
lar on the impostor. A prominent paysic-
IAN has on exhibition a quantity OF Chinese
medicines, which were left unclaimed at
the custom-house. The collection comprised
roots, bark, dried lizards and toads, snake
skins, undesirable herbs and lot of pills
as large as baseballs. 1he pills, which
were the most remarkable things in the
collection, were, literally speaking, gilt
edged and commonplace. They were
marked in the inventory which accompan-
led the medicine chest as good for gen.
eral debility" Among the medicines
highly recommended was a ''wasp's nest
for pain in the back" For vertigo, the
Celestial authority recommended scrapings
of deers' horns; Tor rheumatism, quart OF
boiled water made palatable by toad's
skin and the teeth of a snake; for every
other kind of dise1se, medicines equally
ridiculous and significant of hopeless
condition of ignorance. These quacks
are simply shrewd adventures One OF
the most successful of these impostors was
a fisherman, whom white speculators set
up in business. The principal cause of the
backwardness of the Chinese in medical
science is their religion They are spirit
uaiists and fataiists- They have neither a
very deep fear of death, nor do they be-
lieve that they can die in any way but as
ordained by fate. Lately medical missions,
with both American and English Profes-
sors, have been established in China, and
some steps have been made from the bar
barous position occupied by the healer's
art.

silence the low tones of the organ sounded
through the church, accompanied by a
woman's voice.
What is this 2" cried Eastburn, starting
up. 'Whose voice Is that2"
BE silent, "said Barclay, ,sternly. "Good
reason have you to hear that voice with
guilty horror"
AT the same instant the glass from his
lantern fell broadly upon the organ. Stand
ing before it, looking down at them, was
the figure of Ada Morton.
''Oh, God,' groaned Eastburn, chok-
ingly. ''My sins have found me out. She
has come back from the other world to ac-
cuse me of her death"

Eastburn, shrieklng mingled prayers and
curses, was taken TO the village and i'm
prisoned on the double charge OF fraud and
attempted murder. In course of time he
was convicted and punished.
On the same day that he was sentenced,
Barclay called upon Ada Morton, now in
stalled in her fathers house. With her
restoration to her rights she had recovered
her health and beauty, and it was with a
strange feeling of mingled hope and fear
that the young man took her hand and
said:

MOriou."
The bright smile faded from her face,
and look of pain came in its place.

away and labor to crush out this longing,
this love for You which has overgrown my

She looked up at him shyly, and came
nearer to his side as she whispered:
''Stay."

Washington,s Appearance.

''General Washington is q tall, well
made man," said writer in 1898, ''rather
large boned, and has a tolerably genteel
address. His features are manly and bold,
his eyes of blueish cast and very lively;
his hair of deep brown, his face rather
long and marked with the small pox; his
complexion sunburnt and without much
color, and his countenance sensible, COM
posed, and thoughtful; there is remark.

Blaine'S New Home.

Mr. Blaine Is about to commence the
erection of new residence in Wash
ingtOn to cost $4,000. 1t is to be built
on Sect circle, not far from Don Cam
erons new house, and he has already
received the plans from his architect
and builder. His house has in one or
two respects, been nodded on that of
his friend, Whitelaw Reid, editor of the
New York Tribune. 1t will be built
broadside to the street, with a front of
80 fe ct and a depth of 40, and the hall
10 feet wide, in the middle-will run
directly back to his library, which will
be 80 feet by &c. with a high ceiling
and completely lined with oak. On the
left of the hall will be lis reception
parlors and on the right 4 sitting room,
and behind it dining room. In the
basement will be billiard tables, etc.
The building will have a rather plain
exterior, and no such Ornamentatlon as
the porte cochere and other parvenue
adaptations Mr.. Blaine expects to
commence his house as soon as he has
made the contract and the foundations
can be dug. He bought the house he
occupies at present early in the M
provements of Washington, and it cost
him about $50, 900; but it is in the mid
die of block and the rooms generally
dark, and it is not adapted to the larg-
er uses of public life. Instead of pay
ing, as Mr.. Evarts is now doing, Il rent
of $1,000 to $1,000 year, Mr.. Blaine
builds at once his own Secretary'5 resi-
dence, midway between the white
house and the hill where the brothers
Sherman have put up so many inn
proyements.

Music Hall, in that city, There is
treat in store for us.
Mrs. Bruce, the wife of the colored
senator from Mississippi, was among
the best looking ladies present at the
white house on New Years day. She
wore reception toilet from Worth's
of violet-colorad silk and satin, trimmed
with white lace and diamond orna-
ments.
Madame Albina, who retired from
the operate stage at the age of SO, in
order, as she said, that the public
should not witness the decline of her
powers, was recently induced to reap
pear in Paris, when she astonished ev-
EN- the critics by the freshness of her
voice and her splendid yocalization.
The Paris milliners seem to think
that they can wear their own bonnets,
although it is asserted that the French
doctors sometimes hesitate to take
their own pills. One of the most ex-
pert manipulators Of plush and satin
recently wore a gray bonnet ornament
ed with nest of bright-eyed mice.
1t is reported that among the charg-
es that Governor Sprague is to bring
against his wife for extravaganza is one
to the effect that she ordered large
number of dresses in Paris when he
was financially embarrassed, and being
unable to pay for them, they returned
on the dressmaker's hands.
John Thomas Thomson, whose
death is announced from London, was
the first to direct the attention Of pho
tographers to the fact that the lumin-
Gus and chemical foci were not of the
same length, the discovery of which
fact enabled DIR. Draper, of New York,
to take the first photograph from life.
Professor Willard Fiske, of Cornell
University, and his wife, are making

veniences. 1t is manned by twenty
four men.
Not long ago it is related, Senator
Hamlin and Postmaster General May

now the far-off look in her eyes as she
approached the pan; her whole figure
was the expression of one without hope,
the very embodiment of despair: she
raised the pan by the edge, utterly
careless that the falling water splashed
her dress and feet, and listlessly moved
away. Her grief was too deep for
words or tears; and | turned away with
heart sick to see such suffering, and
to know that she was but one of more
than a hundred in the same sad con-
dition.

Matrimonial Chances in Paris.

All marriages are not made in heaven.
Many must be made down here upon
earth by the multitudes of matrimoni-
al agents who puff themselves and their
merchandise in the advertising col
umns. Some of these persons must do
a roaring trade, for as you drive up the
hill at st. Cloud you pass by sumptu-
Gus villa which has been reared by riv-
citing hymeneal bonds. One of these
agents advertises a Grand Choix de
Veuves''-a "large selection of wild
ows"-on hand, with large stocks of
maidens with dowries varying from
100000 francs to many millions. One
has a girl of IS, with 100000 of
francs for her dover. Many others are
in the market who have S6,000000 to
100000 of francs down. "Why
don't the men proposes" was famous
song much sung in our younger days.
Why, indeed, it may be asked, when
such fortunes go a-begging?
