The Real Mission of the Piano.

A mystery has been solved. A citizen
of the world has found out what is the
purpose of the modern piano located in
the modern parlor. To be played ON {?
What stale and preposterous sugges-
ton. What superlative nonsense. The
mission Of the piano is two-fold; it
is to impart dignity and stateliness to
the household, but chiefly it is to af-
ford place for a young lady to sit, idly
turning over the leaves of the blackbird
book while young man hangs Imply
over to whisper into her ear that he is
growing gradually weaker, but still
lives. There is no better place for mat
rimonial blow on the head. There is an
ecstatic rapture in hanging over piano
in good form that no young woman can
resist. It thrills, electrifes and oxid-
ICES. Ten minutes Of such magnetic
disturbance will overthrow the utmost
prejudice or objection. and twenty min
utes is equal to wedding ring and mar
rage settlement. If an ambitious young
woman can secure the presence Of re-
bellious subject at the piano, and hold
him there until she has rambled through
the '' Maiden's Prayer" the superstition
is largely in favor Of the potency of the
music-box and the triumph of the
scheme. So that in either case the
piano has come to be the potent match
maker.-Chic0g0 Inter Ocean.

Harvesting in the Stack.

Mr.. r. Nelson, of lakewood, near
Liverpool, has devised and placed at the
free use of his brother farmers method
of harvesting in the stack which may be
applied to grass, grain and almost all
kinds of field produce, and which, if the
statements made about it are trust
worthy, renders the farmer largely indie
pendent of the weather at harvesting
time. As applied to the hay the process
is simply this: The stack is made in
such way as to leave hollow space in
the middle, running up about third of
its height, and the lower end of this hol-
low is connected with the outer air by a
tube. The end of this tube Is connected
with an exhaust fan, and as soon as the
stack begins to heat the fan is set to
work, and the moisture is drawn forth in
q cloud of steam. The fan exhausts the
tube, and the air presses through the
stack in all directions to supply it, and
the hay is cooled and dried. The stack
can thus be kept at any temperature by
watching the thermometer and little
careful attention has been found to make
the condition of the hay thus treated
perfect, even in cases in which it had
been stacked quite wet. The method is
easy to carry out, and it is said to save
in labor in the bayfield, what it costs in
simple machinery. York Tribune.

Loss of Memory by the Aged.

Mr.. Winthrop has his mental faculties
n full vigor. His Yorktown Grafton will
be well remembered as proof of this.
We have had two notable examples OF
the decay of memory in great men in the
case Of Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Emerson.
There Is complete blank in Mr..
Adams mind often as regards the more
immediate past, which made him an
easy prey to the scoundrel who has Just
had a five-years' sentence in the State
Prison for swindling him. Mr.. Emer-
sons lack of memory took another form.
He could not remember the names,
either of persons or things, when he un-
dertook to converse; but this did not
involve an incapacity for ordinary rea-
soning. There is pleasant story show
ing that something of the element Of
humor remained with him during his
time of difficulty in this respect. He
was going out one day and his daughter
saw him searching for something to take
with him. He could not name it. She
mentioned two or three articles, to which
he returned negative. At length he
turned to her with twinkle in his eye
and said: 'It is the thing that people
take away" She at once brought him
his umbrella, and all was right. DIR.
Holmes, who is two years past 70, was
asked the other day if he had this
trouble in remembering. He replied
"Not at all, except possibly in the case
of persons" This statement may readi-
ly be credited when it Is remembered
that he is active as a lecturer before the
Massachusetts Medical College, and
gives no less than seventy lectures in a
season to its students. Sat,r.

Russia is a little over thousand
years old, and there has been 80 rulers
during that time. The government is
an autocray, but the real autocrat just
now is not the Gar, nor yet the Gar
itxa. but, if report may be credited, a
Mrs. Popedowostzeff, the young and
energetic wife of the venerable Chief
Procnrer of the Holy Synod. This lady
is not indebted to anything disreputable
for her influence, but to her genius for
public affairs, A correspondent says
that with the modesty of an ascending
star Madame keeps her own counsels,
but it is believed that she has no SYM
pathy with liberalism in any form. Her
somewhat antique husband is 80 devot-
ed to her that his highest pleasure is
found in executing her plans, and she is
the courted of all courtiers. This is
not the first time Russian woman has
shown great genius for politics. Queen
Olga succeeded Igor as regent in the
infancy of the present nation, and to
this day fabulous stories are told of her
achievements. Among the rulers of the
eighteenth century, memorable period
none excelled in ability or profigacy
Catherine the Great. Four women
have worn the Russian crowns besides
Olga, but she alone of the number
showed special aptitude for matters ol
of state, noted more for badness than
greatness.

company had not circulated the alleged
libelous article with knowledge of its con-
tents Or with the purpose to do the plant
if harm. The proper person for her to
sue under the circumstances was the pub
Usher of the paper; but, as she had sued
his client, he proposed to prove the truth
of the article, and that the plaintiff was
not a chaste woman. On the contrary, he
said, he would show that she had been the
mistress of several men. Upon hearing
this Miss Prescott grew red, and her eyes
filled with tears. A little boy
who sat by her side, and who
was said to be her son, noticing her tears,
began to weep in sympathy with her.
After having shown by witness that pub
lications are distributed by the American
News company without knowledge of their
contents, ex-Judge Fullerton astonished
the actors and theatrical managers present
by calling the plaintiff as a witness for the
defense. She said, in response to his in
quiries, that Marie Prescott was her miden
name, but she was the wife of Mr.. William
Pertzel, to whom she was married in this
city on June %, 1881. Being asked to
produce her marriage certificate, she
answered CURLY, Il haven't it."
''Where is it!" said the ex-Judge.
''None of. your business" calmly an
swered the witness.
'Is this the best account you can
give this jury of your marriage!"
Letting her examiner pass from her
view, Miss Prescott, addressing the jury,
said:
Il was married to William Pertzel on
the 23d of June, 1881. am his wife, and
that's enough
She subsequently admitted that in 1863
she was married to one Edward James
Burke, about whose whereabouts there was
some uncertainty. Ex-Judge Fullerton
teen asked:
did you ever profess to be the wife of
Ernest Harvier?" and the witness answered
''Never"' with much vigor.
did you ever sign your name as Marie
Harvier!" The emphatic answer to this
question was ''No, never!' She subsequent
ly denied that she wrote certain letters
handed her for Identification, but admit
ted the authorship of others, which she
said she wrote to her husband, Mr.. Pertzel
Ex-Judge Fullerton read one of those let
tiers, in which he thought there was ev-
idence that it and the others had been writ
ten by the witness to Ernest Harvier, but
he explained that the reference in it to
Ernest was sarcastic, and could only be
understood by her husband, who had the
key to it in other letters.

Marie Prescott.

In sheet devoted to the discussion of
theatrical topics and known as Nyn Grim
kle, an article was published in August,
1881. which reflected severely on Marie
Prescott, the actress who supported the
Italian actor Salvini last season. The ar
ticie called attention to the fact that por-
trait of Miss Prescott had been published
in another so-called dramatic journal which
had previously published attacks upon her
ability as an actress and her good name
as woman. It charged that she paid
twenty five dollars for the publication of
her portrait, had thus appeased her former
assailiant, and procured some notoriety for
self, but at the same time had given
the public reason to believe that the state
ments which had been made against her
good name were founded in truth. Miss
Prescott, considering this article to be Ii
belous, began suit for 100000 damages
against the American News company, by
which corporation Nym C,inkle was sold
and distributed.
The trial of the suit was begun on the
18th, before Judge Russell and a jury in
the superior court. Miss Prescott, or, as
she is known off the stage, Mrs. Pertzel, is
about thirty years of age. Her lawyer rested
his case after proving the publication and
rfcuiation of the alleged libelous article.
Judge Fullerton opened the case for the
defense. stating that the American News

The Wolf and Little Red Riding. Hood
A Modern Fable.


Little Red Riding-hood having made
a Cake all by her own self, was sent by
her proud and happy Mother to carry it
to her GRANDMOTHER. Upon her way she
encountered Wolf, who, representing
himself to the credulous Child as the old
Lady's Newfoundland Dog, so won upon
her confidence that she disclosed to him
the Object of her Mission. "Then, ("
said the crafty Wolf, 81 will run on
ahead and pull the Bobbin that the
Latch may go up" The silly Child,
being touched with Gratitude, accepted
his services, and gave the Animal nice
big piece of her Cake; and the Wolf
persisted miserably of indigestion before
he reached the old Danes Cottage,
Little Red Riding Hood obtained new
Tippet and Muff from his Skin, and was
enabled to soothe her Grandmother de-
Ginning Years with Comforts purchased
with the Bounty paid for his Scalp.

NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.


New YORK, Oct. 14.-Jay Gould and the
bears played havoc with the stock market
to-day, and prices were subjected to an
other hammering process, the entire
market declining from one to three per
cent. The Gould stocks lead the break
just after the favorable bank statement.
Texas Pacific dropping from 435s to Il /
in fifteen minutes; Kansas and Texas from
3516 to 80; Missouri Pacific from LOG a
to 1O4; Western Union from ssh

preferred from 80 to eO14; Wabash pre-
ferred from 645s to 62B; Reading from
Ga to 6O3s; Louisville e. Nashville from
544 to 531s; Oregon & Transcontinental

Rumors that a large house was in trouble
assisted in the Generalization of the mar
ket. The Vanderbilt stocks were the
only ones that were comparatively
strong. The greatest bear demonstrations
we're against the Northern Pacific shares,
both the common and preferred being
forced Oh the market in large blocks at in
tervals. The strike on the road was the
ostensible reason for the free selling.
Bears on the granger stocks say that the
railroad war is not likely to be settled for
a week or more. AS far as can be
learned from officers of the roads
no further negotiations have been entered
into for the settlement of the difficulties.
The war is one sided at present, as the st.
Paul company has not began to cut rates.
Operators who have made a study of the
Northwestern system of roads say that
while competition is undoubtedly ahead of
the development of the section. a
general cutting of rates would have q
beneficial effect in wheat shipments. The
farmers at present are shipping only
enough to pay interest on mortgages and
other expenses. One item of interest is that
the Union Pacific is very near bottom;
that strong people have taken the stock in
hand, and to intimate friends
express great confidence in their
ability to prevent a further
decline; that Wabash also is showing q
strong front, and resists hammering in q
way that is said to surprise the SlaybacA
fraternity. ''The market remains prob

The most active stocks are oversold, and
the borrowing demand is SO good that CON
