Five Thousand Dollars a Pound.

In his last letter to the Atlanta Con
stitution, Bull Arp says: AS rule
the girls show to a much anxiety to
marry. They are too sweet ON the
boys. They ought to stand off and
look reserved and precious, and put
on Jerusalem airs and say young man,
you don't know who you are fOOIing
with, I'm treasure, / am. [ weigh
pound. Well, they are. A good.
nice, healthy girl who can make her
own dress and get up a good supper
for company, and is not ashamed to
wait on the table while they are eat
ing, is just worth about s., 600 a pound.
But that is nothing compared with
what they will be worth. Why, Mrs.
Arp has cut out and made up at least
1000 garments of one sort and an
other. She has sewed 500, 900 stitches,
and patched and darned, and washed
faces and feet and combed hair in
Vulnerable. She has tied up 500 sore
toes and cut fingers and burns and
bruises, and kissed away a thousand
tears. She has watched 'em by night
and by day, andkeeps on watching;
and right now, while [ am writing
on my piazza, she is looking away up
the big road, and says; ''Tm afraid
something will happen to them boys;
they are two little to 90 on by them
selves" There are two little nephews
here just out of school, and they and
Carl have all got a horse or a colt
apiece, and have gone off on ''scur-
sion," and [ call 'em the infantry
cavalry, and tell Mrs. Arp it is all
right, but she sits here sewing with
her specs on. and ever and anon looks
up the road and says ''Those chill
dren have overstaid their time. I'm
afraid something has happened" If
they don't come back soon [ know that
[ will have to start after 'em, for that
is always the way. Mrs. Arp is
worth at least S., 900 pound, and she
weighs right smart and keeps a get
ting heavier. [ am rich, [ am. /

A Memorable Smile.

The description of a woman'S smile,
says the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser, is said to be taken from a
Hawaiian romance, but there is GER
tain something about it calculated to
create several doubts in the mind of
the readers: "Crouched at the foot of
the old board fence that hid the hum
BILE dwelling from the sharp scrutiny
of passing vehicles and men. She
was fat and of large limb, and her
round, broad cheeks glowed with the
rich warmth of the chestnut. Her
long-lashed eyelids dropped over her
lustrious eyes, and the thick tresses
of her blue-black hair shaded her
neck and bosom. Suddenly some
passing object attracted her attention,
and the dark pupils of her eyes ex-
panded in amused surprise. Her
rich red lips parted, and there flashed
upon the landscape two rows of beau
tiful white teeth. Slowly her mouth
opened wider and wider Deeper
grew the dimples on her bronzed
cheeks. Brighter danced the sunbeams
in her eyes, until stray ray, darting
through the foliage of an overhanging
bough, Illuminated the deep cavern of
her mouth, bringing into view the
back of her head. Then, seeing the
gaze intently upon her, she shut her
jaw, and darkness fell upon the
scene"
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1883-08-02
How DR.. Mary Walker Looks.

Washington Letter: Picture in
your mind a form of small stature
dressed in black, Prince Albert coat
and silk tile, with pantaloons that fit
no better than those of Alexander
H. Stephens; a delicate little cane
carried aWkwardly in the hand small,
wrinkled face, eyes also small and
almost lusterless, and hair that looks
as though it was chopped off rather
than clipped by the tonsOrial artist
and you have DR.. Mary Walker. The
wrinkled face and ''crow's feet about
the eyes show that the doctor is not
so young as she used to be, but no
signs of grayness are noticeable in her
hair. Her mission at present seems
to be in the direction of securing for
herself an increase of the pension
which a grateful republic awarded
her some time ago for her labOrs upon
the battlefields of the late war. She
is frequent visitor at the different
departments in some causes or other
and when some poor official protests
audibly against her habit of calling
early and often, principally often, she
is always ready with lecture upon
the courtesie and amenities of official
life. With all her fondness for male
attire, she does not take to the over
coat. Should you meet her on the
street some cold day you will find a
shawl protects her from the icy
breezes, but when she enters aAy
office or store she never fails to remove
her tall hat and shawl. Many times I
have seen her in the crowds of men
that send in their cards to members of
the house, disdaining to wait in the
ladies' reception room, but she removes
her hat all the same. The doctor went
into p carpet store the other day, and
asked to see some new styles of car
pets The clerk unrolled almost
everything that had been received for
many weeks, but the doctor could not
find anything to please her aesthetic
taste, and she finally excused herself
by saying that she had merely called
to inspect the goods for a sick friend.
nov, look here, DOCTOR" said the
