As TO poor Maggie, she would gladly
have hidden her diminished head during
Mr.. Winamaker's stay; but that was not
possible. The servant, who was to have
been such family relief, never came,
and Maggie was both chambcrmaid and
table waiter. But when she appeared
that night with his cup Of tea, Mr.. VIM
amaker gave no sign Of recognition !; so
by degrees the hot color burnt itself out
on her cheeks, and she quite recovered
her tranquility. Nevertheless, he noted
every look, and word, and gesture,
though so quietly that even Mrs. Cald-
wells observant eyes did not see Il.
So that, fof once in her lie, she was
,rtakep ys1aweres, when, a The end Of two
weexs, MIR. Winamaker led her 70 the
arbor at the foot of the garden for the
sake Of asking her advice, as he said,
and began to ask it by announcing
his intention of adopting Maggie Tole
As his daughter.
"My advice - thought Mrs. Cald-
well curling her lip little. "He is
past advice, and good way past il. I
have seen for two days which way the
robin was going to fy."
But outwardly she was sweeter than
honey and smoother than oil.
GLOW nice I" she said, heartily, yet,
As woman would have preceived, with
an undertone Of disapprobaiion. "a
capital idea, " she continued, after rehec-
tive pause, "only-I doubt if her grand
father would part with her. And then,
she is rather old for adoption-,wenty-
two at least, fancy"
"Twenty-two!" repeated Mr.. Wilma
maker, aghast
To be sure What had he been think
ing of. Whatever il was he evidently
thought of it no more, for, though he
stayed another two weeks, he never spoke
of adopting daughter.
Neither did he at Christmas when he
came to Cranberry, to see how the coun-
try looked in its robes Of TRANSPORTATION,
white and glistening. Not in the early
spring-time, when he came for no reason
at all that Aunt Phoebe could discover.
''Unless 10 see about getting board
for next summer and ! should most

Likely he wants to see your pa on some
business or other" she added, As Mag

and fresh As daisy
She went right on, however, in spite
of Aunt Phebe's warning and as soon
as she opened the parlor door, Mr..
Winamaker came forward and, bless you,
kissed her.

THE DATE IN ALGERIA.

The date-tree requires not only abun-
dant irrigation but great solar heat
The Arabs say that it stands with its feet
in the water and its head in the fires of
heaven. The love OF the Arab for this
precious tree may we'll be imagined,
growing as it does in the sand, content
ing itself with water so saline As to de
stroy ordinary vegetation, giving grate-
ful shade when all around is burnt up
by the ardent heat OF summer, resisting
the winds which bent but cannot break
its flexible stem, and aifording fruit
sought for in every part OF the world.
The male tree of course bears no fruit;
il has merely bunch of flowers inclos-
ed until maturity, within spathe. The
females have also punches of flowers
which, however, cannot become devel-
oped into fruit until formulated by the
pollen of the male flower. To insure
this result the Arabs ascend the trees in
the month OF April, and insert into every
female spathe a portion OF the polied of
the male flower. The fruit then begins
to swell, and forms long clusters weigh
ing from twenty to forty pounds, each
trees producing from one hundred to
two hundred pounds in a season. To
multiply the date tree, the Arabs do not
sow the seed, as they could not then be
sure OF the sex Of the trees they prefer
to plant the suckers from the base of a
female tree, whence the name" Phoenix"
these become productive in about eight
years, but do not attain full fruition be-
fore twenty or twenty-five. The trees
are about forty-five feet high, and rs
they are planted very close together they
afford dense shade, in which, however,
the air circulates freely, so that all kinds
of fruit, vegetables, ETC., can be cultiva
ted below them. The trees will live for
about two hundred years they are not
worth preserving after century. When
they are no longer valuable for the fruit,
the sap is extracted to make kind Of
insipid wine and the heart or cabbage
Of the tree is also eaten. They are then
cut down, and the wood, although very
inferior in quality, is here valuable,
where no other kind can be procured.
The roots are used for fencing and roof
ing, and the leaves are made into mats,
baskets, sacks, and cord.
Like all other species Of cultivated
plants, the:date-tree has numerous varie-
ties. In the oases Of the Zibas, seventy
distinct varieties are recognized.
The trees come into flower in spring,
in March or April, and the fruit is ripe
about October. The date is called the
King Of the Sahara, and is regarded a.
the most nutritious Of fruits. Many Of
the Arabs live on dates and bread. d.-M

ley is sharply criticized for moving to
postpone the resolution asked for by
Senator Sherman, calling for an iuves-
tigation of the conduct of the latter
while secretary of the treasury.
1t is stated that the republicans, in
order to retain Mahone's vote, will have
to retain Gorham as their nominee for
secretary. for Malone will insist upon
his nomination. Malone will also de-
mand that Riddleberger be retained as
nominee for sergeant-at-arms. The
duel recently fought by the gentleman
will not enter into the matter.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-The rainfall in the
northwest continues, and apprehension
is caused by the high waters of the
Mississippi.
At Quincy there are great fears Of
breaking the levee, the water being as
high as last June.
AT Keokuk, at ten O'Clock this morn
ing, the water was only two inches be-
low the great high water mark of last
spring, and the prospects are that Alex
andriatown, five miles below, will be
completely inundated. If the water
rises another foot it will be the greatest
in the history of the river.
At Hannibal the river is only about a
foot below the freshet of last spring.
Railroad tracks on the leyee are sub
merged and Easements filled. Several
miles of the Keokuk and st. Louis rail-
way is under water. Much valuable
property is in danger.
at Dubuque the water is encroach-
ing upon the river fronts, and the levee
and property Is in endangered. Great
fears are entertained.
LATER The river has fallen about an
inch in "a hours. The worst is thought
to be over.

gentlemen for the cabinet offices, and
that the nominations will be made to

that Howe will be named for the de-
