to Pressy Lowey. Her husbands name
was not mentioned.
Toms face was study, while Prissy
almost tainted from the sudden relief to
all her trouble.
The faces of the other men present
were studies, too. The deacon left the
house without word, and the Squire
looked grirnly at Mr.. Craig.
"She was very peculiar woman,
said the minister, wiping his brow, on
which the beaded drops Of perspiration
stood thickly. His anxiety about his
church had been very great, you see.
But Tom and Prissy could afford to
forget their dead cousins peculiarities,
since she had kept her VOW never to give
Tom a cent, and yet had managed to
make him comfortable for life. There
was an immediate fitting to the comfort.

AnecdOte of Lord RedesdaIe,

Early one morning he made his way to
the mansion of the Earl of Lucan. He
had started for the races, and was dressed
in sporting garb, his cap put on awry
and a cigar between his lips. He rang
at the front door, and the Earl's best man
an exquisite of the first water-an-
swered the summons.
els the Earl at home?"
"No, sir! The Hearl is not at 'ome."
He mistook the caller for a sportive ser

EDO you know if he has gone to Wind

"No, [ don't know hif e as gone to

his lordship went, really enjoying the

The valet drank it with keen relish

"There, mygood fellow-Tm much"
But the visitor put the pot back, and
cut the speech short with:
Return the tankard yourself, my
man; and when your master returns, be

USEFUL HINTS.

those who object to tea-leaves for
sweeping the carpets can use freshly
cut grass instead. It answers the same
purpose for preventing dust, and gives
the carpet fresh, bright look.
The Young Scientist states that
leather and cloth can be rendered water
proof by being well smeared over with a
preparation of parafine and drying oil,
made by adding about one-tenth part of
the latter to melted parafine.
If you want good starch, mix it with
cold water; add boiling water until it
thickens, then add dessert-spoonful of
sugar and small piece of butter. This
makes stiff and glossy finish equal to
that Of the laundry.
FoR hanging pictures use copper or
silver wire. Moths eat out the inside Of
the cord. Water in which onions have
been boiled, rubbed lightly over the
frames, will keep insects away from
them.
NEPIUNIrE is recently patented col
orless substance held in solution for the
purpose of treating elk, wooden and cot
materials, rendering them water repel-
liant and proof against dampness, mildew
and moths.
For damp closet or cupboard, which
is liable to cause mildew, place in it a
saucer full of quicklime, and it will not
only absorb all apparent dampness, but
sweeten and disinfect the place. Renew
the lime once fortnight or as often as it
becomes slaked.
1t is not economy to have too few
brooms-one for the sleeping-rooms up
stairs, one for parlor and sitting-room,
and one for the kitchen are not too many.
AS they are worn they may be passed
down grade at time, the new ones
always being reserved for the parlor.
If the new broom is allowed to stand
in cold water for twelve hours, afterward
drying it, it will last much longer. A
broom should never be permitted to
stand on its brush, as it makes it one
sided and ill-shapen. Hang it up by a
loop in the handle.
A WATCH cannot go for an indefinite
period without being repaired or cleaned.
At the expiration of certain time the
oil dries up, dust accumulates, and wear
and tear are inevitable results to the
whole machinery, the functions becom-
ing irregular. and frequently ceasing to
act altogether. A person possessing a
watch of good quality, and DESTROYS OF
preserving it, should have it cleansed
every two years, at least. And care
should be taken to confide this cleaning
or repairing to careful hands an incapa-
BILE workman may do great injury to a
watch even Of the simplest construction.

A Noble Offer.

"I gness I'll have to hire clerk,
said Galveston merchant, by the name
of Merritt, to his friend Chrysler.
81 am glad to see that the business
boom has struck you, responded Chrys-
Ter.
cit isn't that, replied the merchant,
"but you see I am very popular, and I
am asked by my friends to step across
the street and take drink almost every
minute in the day, and as I haven't any
body to leave In the store I have to de-
cline. Ten dollars a day won't cover
what I have lost by not having clerk. :"
"TIl tell you what I'll do, " said Chrys-
Ter, frightening up; "hire me as your
clerk, and send me across the street to
drink with your friends, and I won't
charge you cent for my clerical serv-
ices.
The application of Chrysler was put
on file, along with those of number of
other leading citizens who had applied
already. GalUeston NeaOs.'

Nevada a RidicmO1S jSiafe.

The Statehood of Nevada is a ridicu-
lous farce. Here is State with pop
ulation of some 1000 with more elab-
crate government than the State of New
York. The heads of departments con-
sist of Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
Comptroller, Treasurer, Attorney Gen
eral, Surveyor General, Secretary of
State and Superintendent of Public In
struction. There are three Supreme
Judges, Clerk of the Supreme Court,
State Librarian, who is ex-officio Curat-
or of the State Museum, Governors pri-
vate secretary, and small army of dep
uties, all at exorbitant salaries. The
revenue to support all this fuss and
feathers has been drawn chiefly from the
tax on bullion and cattle, which in the
past have furnished it literally. There
are fourteen counties in the State with
equally elaborate governments, which
have been extrayagantly supported from
the same sources, though, of course, all
species of property have borne their
share of taxation. But the flush times
have gone by, and, though the States
credit is good, and it has large school
fund from which it can borrow, it is only
a question of time when the resources
will be inadequate to meet the expenses.
All sorts of propositions are being dis
cussed to avert the threatened dan
ger-amendments to the constitution, a
constitutional convention, dissolution of
the State Government, etc. In my
opinion the best thing that could be
done would be to abolish the State and
either return to a Territorial form of
government or attach the Territory to
California. It is merely province of
California as it is, and is ruled by Cali
fornia capital. When the mines were
yielding largely and cattle ranged on
thousand hills they went along as though
they did not care whether school kept or
not The State has been magnificent
stock grazing country, the bunch grass
of the hills as summer feel and the sue
culent white sage of the valleys for win
ter subsistence making the finest beef
ever seen, and California and the East
affording a profitable market Like
everything else in the State, the bust
ness of stock breeding has been over
done. The ranges were over-grazed,
and are now mostly eaten, and the cattle
driven away to Wyoming and Colorado,
where there are "fresh fields and pas
lures new" AS consequence, the re-
sources of the State are so diminished
that the people will be forced to favor
abolishing the State as matter of self
protection, and, unless something now
unlocked for turns up, the population of
Nevada will diminish one-haf within
the ensuing five years.-NeV York

The Imperial Crowns Of Russia.

The crown Of the Gear of Russia is in
shape as much a inter as crown: il
thus suggests the double function-at
once the head of the church and head
of the state-which the Russian EN-
peror is supposed to exercise. 1t is sur
mounted by a cross formed of five beau
tiful diamonds, and supported by an I'M
mense uncut but polished ruby. The
ruby rests upon eleven large diamonds,
which i'll their turn surmounf rows Of
pearls. More magnificent even than the
crown of the Emperor is the coronet OF
the Empress, which is supposed to pre-
sent the most beautiful mass Of diamonds
ever brought together in single orna-
ment. In this constellation of glittering

How Afghans Fight.

An English correspondent in Asia, re-
ferring to the fighting qualities of the
Afghan soldiery, says: ian Afghan never
thinks of asking for quarter, but fights
with the ferocity of tiger, and clings to
life until his eyes glaze and his hands
refuse to pull pistol trigger or use
knife in dying effort to MAIN or kill
his enemy. The stern realities of war
were more pronounced on the battle
fields In Afghanistan than perhaps they
have ever been in India, if we except the
retributive days of the mutiny. To spare
a wounded man for minute was prob
ably to cause the death of the next sol
der who unsuspiciously walked past
him. One thing our men certainly
learned in Afghanistan, and that was to
keep their wits about them when pursu-
ing an enemy or passing over hard-won
field. There might be danger lurking in
each seemingly inanimate form studding
the ground, and unless care and caution
were exercised the wounded Afghan
would steep his soul in bliss by killing a
Kaffir just when life was at its last ebb.
This stubborn love of fighting IN er-
trenaiS is promoted doubtless by fanat-
lcism, and we saw SO much of it that our
men at close quarters always drove their
bayonets well home, so that there should
be no mistake as to the deadliness of the
wound. The physical courage which
distinguished the unframed mobs who
fought SO resolutely against us was
worthy of all admiration; the tenacity
with which men, badly armed and lack
ing skilled leaders, chung to their posi-
tons was remarkable, to say nothing of
the sullen doggedness they often showed
when retiring. But, when the tide of
the fight set in fully against them, and
they saw further resistance would in
volve them more deeply, there was so
sudden change always apparent that
one could scarcely believe the fugitives
hurrying over the hills were the same
men who had resisted so desperately but
few minutes before. They acted wise
ly; they knew their powers in scaling
steep hills, or In making their escape by
heetness of foot, and the host generally
dissolved with a rapidity which no one
but an eyewitness can appreciate. IF
cavalry overlook them, they turned like
wolves and fought with desperation. sell
ing their lives as dearly as men ever sold
them; but there was no rally in the true
sense of the word, and but faint attempts
at aiding each other. Their regular
troops were but little amenable TO dis
cipline, by reason of deficient training.
and they resorted to the tactics they
had pursued as tribesmen when once
they were forced to retire.
