a True Stcry OF London,

The best stock story about London is that
one day in that modern Babylon merchant
disappeared from his home, leaving his wife
and children. The papers and the dead walls
blurted forth his description and the offer of
a generous reward for his body, dead or alive
At the expiration of the period allotted by
law his considerable estate was turned into
money, and other merchants requited the
widow for the right to continue the prosper
Gus mercantile operations. No ore that knew
him ever saw him again. The widow re-
manned in the home he left her, and while her
hair whitened with time her children grew to
manhood and womanhood, married, and had
children Of their own.
By and by, when the memory of the mys-
ferrous disappearance of the merchant was
fresh only in the mind of the woman who had
merged her life into his, while to her chill
dren it had become as mere something told
to them in childhood, lawyers notified them
that the merchant had died, leaving his prop
erty to another woman and other children,
and that if they desired to contest his will
the chance was theirs. Then it turned out
that when the merchant disappeared he
merely removed around the corner, where he
set up another household and reared another
family behind windows through which he
could see his true wife and his legitimate
children moving about in his old home. He
had begun life anew, built up another for
tune, and finished natural term of life,
without being recognized by any who had
known him under his true name This story
is true, and is a matter of court record. It is
told to show how in big cities the details of
village or country life az swallowed up in
the greater concerns of the vast body, how
ones own little circle is the most city per-
son is familiar with, and how where there
are SO many people it is as possible for man
to lose himself and be overlooked as if he
were at sea in small boat.

Il the room opens upon a street, there is an
excuse for the dainty sash curtains that lei
in the light, while they keep people outside
from looking in. Indeed, these sash curtains
of scrym, or muslin-are pretty at any
time, and tone down the bright sunshine of
our American climate in a grateful way.
But they should not be white. White cur
tains at a window will destroy the color
effect of almost any room. If the sash cur
tains are of white stuff let them speedily be
made an ecru color, by dipping them into
strong coffee; but it is better that they
should be wrought of brown or unbleached

SAVING THE BOATS.


The lighter draught boats had little trouble
in running the rapids and dashing through
the shute, but the heavier ones were saved
only with the greatest difficulty. Their guns
were disinounted and hauled around the
rapids, all of the ammunition removed. and
not pound of dead weight was left aboard
to add to their peril. In the case of the Mound
City, Carondelet, and others of that class,
dray and guy-ropes we're attached and thou
sand men took hold and hauled and braced
and pulled them through narrow channels
and over shoal spots. The dam was begun on
May 1, and by the 18Th the entire feet was
safely over.
DISAPPOINTED CoNFEDERATEs.
When the Confederates discovered Porter's
feet in the trap they felt certain that he must
leave it there. The spring rise had passed,
the river was constantly falling, and they
confidently counted on the destruction of the
feet. Porter would of course destroy each
and every vessel, but their destruction would
be victory to boast of. No man outside of
Col. Bailey Federal or Confederate, had
thought Of the dam, and the wonder is that
with Porter and Banks each on his dignity,
and Grant huIrying both up, the colonel got
ahead of red tape and laid the firgL stick of
timber Porter left behind him ten or eleven
guns, several anchors, lot of iron plating,
chains, gun carriages, etc., which he had not
time to haul around the rapids. Everything
YVES broken up and rendered useless, as far
as possible.
But for Bailey's dam Porter could not have
saved his feet. But for that. feet the Con-
felerates could have consolidated and COM
