Pink Finger-Nails.

A New York letter to the Cincinnati
Enquirer says: "When my time came
l sat i'll row with five other ladies, all
in the easiest OF arm-chairs, and with
damask napkins in our LAPS. Finger
bowls of stained glass on plates of
painted French china, filled with tepid
water perfumcd and containing an acid
to soften the skin, were given us, and
solemnly we sat and soaked orr fingers
for fifteen minutes. At he eud at that
time an operator on n low stool seated
herself before me, dried one hand, posed
1t on pink satin cushion, and with II
fine steel instrument quickly scraped
away all the soft skin round the nail,
then she fled it into point at the top
and clipped the sides with sharp scissors.
then she rubbed red salve, called
rosaline, over it, wiped it off and pro-
ceeded to polish with the diamond pow
der, using the palm OF her hand, until
the nail fairly glittered, and finally
warm water, CASTLE soap and soft
brush left it clean, smooth and shining.

down to the depot and haul up these
things just ten days after he hauled um
down, though, as fur that, twas dark
enough when he took UNI down, being
night"
At this awful stage John recovered
himself sufficiently to confront Aunt
Martha and by dint of winks and mods
make her understand that she was max
ing a mess of it.
Poor "Marthy stared, as open
mouthed as the rest but the warning
had come too late Aunt Susan was ~
no means slow, and the whole plot was
as plain as daylight to her.
And SO, Philip Wheeler" she burst
out with whitening scorn, "you thought
'twould be fine fun to deceive me with
your trumpt-up story of thieves that has
made the shivers run down my back
every night since l came home! Oh,
you needn't say nothin AS Uncle
Phil attempted to speak," it's nifty
honest, mebbe, and does great credit to
your profession. AS fur you, John,
wouldn't have bel'ved you would hev
treated your old auntie in such way.
You ken take them old things and send
um back to c.; / hate the sight Of
UNI And Aunt Susan fairly broke
down, and, bowling her head on Mary's
shoulder, burst into a shower OF tears
which caused Uncle Phil and John to
feel not only like sneaks and scoundrels,
but like midnight assassins and burg
lars as well.
There was not much to say, but what
could be said John said he explained
that no harm was intended, and that it
was but foolish, boyish trick. And
Uncle Phil scratched his head and tried
to look boyish, and failed utterly, be-
cause he already looked so sheepish and
mean.
But Mary did just what q warm
hearted, clear-headed woman should
have done. She kissed Aunt Susan
affectionately, and said
"Uncle Phil and John meant to play
off good joke on you, but you have
turned the tables finely, and 1 am doubly
glad-frst, because l do love to get the
best of joke, and secondly, because |
doat on these dear, quaint old things.
Why. aunty, You have given me treas
ures Just wait till you see how sweet
I'll make this little place look"
And SO she did, so quantity sweet, and
altogether charming did the little house
grow under her skillful fingers that it be-
came the rage, and the demand for old
things was almost as high in the village
as it was in our big city, where some
thing always RACES.
John became a convert ut very early
day, and even Uncle Phil said /:
81 snum! Ididn't know the old truck
could look SO kinder scratic."
To which Aunt Susan would reply
81 allurs knowed twas 'ristocratic,
Philip"
They are all very happy, and Aunt
Susan has long since forgotten and for
given Johns little joke.

Mexico.

Mexico does not progress rapidly.
There are many reasons for this, but
since the development of railroads in
that country we are beginning to find
out something. An American who quito
lately came from Mexico states that the
Mexicans have few manufactures and no
modern machinery; that he has seen a
thousand men and boys at work in a
field harvesting with sickles; that here
tofore there have been very few COM
panies and firms in Mexico, as they
have had great distrust of railway or
any other corporations; that on account
OF this distrust, money accumulated is
boarded and rendered useless to its
owners and to the communities in which
they reside; that he knows of one family
that has two hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars slowed away in barrels; that
there is only one bank in Mexico, which
is owned by Englishmen; and that the
only thing approaching in character to a
bank authorized or established by the
government is large pawn shop, which
makes advances on various articles.
These brief statements indicate at once
the directions in which progress is most
ess initial, and the deficiencies which. to
- great extent, will probably be rcmedied
by the enterprises in which number of
our countrymen are interested.

had inadvertently found his way about her
slender form, and her head had gradually
found resting place upon bis manly, pad

happy days to come. when together they
should walk over the varied pathway of
life, when size suddenly turned her melt

'Will YOU always be so contented with
my society, Addy?"
His name was Adolphus, and she called
him Addy for short.
Always, darling" he murmured, and
the pressure about her form increased.

hut constantly remain by my side?"
Constantly, Angy," he said. Her name
was Angelina.

A Horse With q History.
From the Dubuque. Iowa, Times.

cAOAAA SAo OuOu4uo, Ao"0y 41ulee.
A war horse which died on farm near
Keokuk the other day had history which
will be Of interest in these days of soldiers
reunions. The horse referred to was owned
by the late General Hugh T. Reid, Of Keo-
kuk. 1t was rode by him at Shiloh. At
that battle General Reid fell wounded from
the back of his steed. In fact. horse and
rider went down together, the horse being
struck in the chest, the ball lodging in the
posterior CT the rig ht shoulder joint, from
which place it was extracted by Surgeon
Gibbon. He was also wounded in several
other places in the same battle. twice in the
upper portions of the neck and many times
slightly about the fetlock and ears In this
battle every mounted officer Of the regi-
ment which the general-then a colonel
commanded, was dismounted. Horse and
rider both recovered and participated in
many other engagements. When the war
was ended General Reid brought home
with him the steed that had so CALAMITY
carried him, and after age had unified him
for further service had him taken to his
brothers farm. General Reid died few
years ago from tho result of his WOUNDS.

Garfield on q Church EdjfIce.

The Vermont avenue Christian Church
at Washington, of which President Garfield
was member, voted to proceed Immediate
~ to build q new church, $4,000 having
been subscribed. It was resolved that the
cost should not be less than $35, 600.
President Garfield was elected permanent
trustee. President Garfeld's views re-
garding the church are given in the follow
ing hitherto unpublished letter written by
him since his election: II note what YOU
say in regard to the new church building
in Washington. am glad to hear that
the work is to be undertaken, and in
answer to your inquiry beg to offer but
one suggestion, and that is that our brethren
do not undertake to build too large house.
Let us keep within our means, and also
avoid anything like ostentation, either in
size or decoration. Let it be a neat, modest
church of undersize, lather than oversize. -

A GRAND STEEPLE CHASE.

AS if there were not sufficient excitemen,
at the usual horse-race, these meetings or
the turf nearly always close with a grand
stecple chase. This kind of race combines
oil the excitement Of the regular race, with
the super-added element OF danger which
seems to give further zest to the sport
Horses, and good ones at that, often receive
severe injuries, which render them practi
cally useless for long periods. AT least
this was the state of affairs until owners
and breeders Of fine stock began to freely
use ST. JACOBS OIL, the Great German
Remedy for man and beast. This invalu.
able article to horsemen has so grown into
