DANIEL WHISPERS FINANCIERING is the subject of many anecdotes at Washington, and one of them thus describes how he one day assisted his friend Rufus Choate
 Choate needed $500 and he applied to Mr.
 Webster. 'Five hundred dollars :" says Webster. "No, I haven't that amount, but I will get it for you, Choate." The latter was glad to hear it, and would wait
 ''Draw your note," said Webster, ''Ill sign it and bring you the money. While you are about it make the note for thou sand thousand is as easy to get as five hundred" MT. Choate said that five hundred was all he needed. "Ill take the other five hundred" said Webster. The note was drawn and MT. Webster, taking his cane, went into the avenue. Good morn ing, MT. .Corcoran, good morning." said he, as he entered the great banking house which was the fiscal agent of the govern ment. "Good morning, MT. Secretary, '' said the great banker ill the blandest man. ner. "What is it I can do for you this morning, MT. Secretary?" MT, Webster was secretary of state at the time. "A lit little money and told him I thought I could get it for him. A thousand I be- ieve he made his note for" passing the paper to the banker There was no such thing as hesitating, much less declining, and so the banker was only happy to ac- commodate the head of MT. Fillmore's ad- ministration. The gold was laid out in two equal piles at MT. Webster's request. Putting one in each pocket and with one of the bows which Mr. Webster only could give, he departed. "Here, Choate, here is the five hundred" said the great ex- pounder, entering where Choate was wait ing. Handing him the gold MT. Webster resumed his reading where he had been interrupted by Choate's entrance. It is further stated that MT. Corceran has in his collection of autographs a note for $1 ,O00 signed by Rufus Choate and indors

It will be remembered that one of the disasters which overlook Governor Butler of Massachusetts few weeks ago, when he was constantly made the victim of va- rious conspiracies, was the mysterious dis appearance of certain legislative bills which he had taken to examine. Not being able to find them he concluded they had been stolen from, but little later they were placed in his hands, and he sent a note to the speaker of the house, informing him of their recovery, and adding that he felt certain that the bills s'were in some way taken from the executive office, but by whom, how, or when, I cannot say" Now the fact is that Benjamin knew that the loss of the papers was due wholly to his own carelessness. He dropped them in the carriage in which he rode from the capitol. Then they were found by one ot the livery washers and were returned to the governor, who was himself alone to blame for the outrageous burglary which was not committed at the executive headquarters

HOW THEY PLAY THE PIANO IN NEW
 -. = ORLEANS.

''I was loafing around the streets last night" said Jim Nelson, one of the oldest locomotive engineers running into New Orleans, "and as I had nothing to do dropped into concert and heard a slick looking Frenchman play piano in way that made me feel all over in spots. As soon as he sat down on the stool knew by the way he handled himself that he under stood the machine he was running. He tapped the keys away up one end, just as if they were gauges and he wanted to see if he had water enough. Then he looked up as if he wanted to know how much steam he was carrying, and the next mo- ment he pulled open the throttle and sailed out on the main line, as if he was a half an hour late.
 "You could hear her thunder over cul- verts and bridges, and getting faster and faster, until the fellow rocked about in his seat like cradle. Somehow | thought it was old '36' pulling passenger train, and getting out of the way of a special The fellow worked the keys on the middle. di- vision like lightning, and then he flew along the north end of the line until the drivers went around like buzz saw, and got excited. About the time I was fixing to tell him to cut her off little, he kicked the dampers under the machine wide open, pulled the throttle away back in the tender, and, Jerusalem jumpers how he did run. I couldn't stand it any longer, and yelled to him that she was bounding on the left side, and if he wasn't careful he'd drop his ash pan. >,..-..t .. ....r .r.'...
 ssBut he didn't hear. No one heard me. Every thing was flying and whizzing. Tele- graph poles on the side of the track looked like row of cornstalks, the trees appeared to be 8 mud bank, and all the time the exhaust of the old machine sounded like the hum of humble bee. I tried to yell out, but my tongue wouldn't move. He went around curves like bullet, slipped an eccentric, blew out his soft plug, went down grades fifty feet to the mile, and not confounded brake set. She went by the meeting point at mile and half min- ute, and calling for more steam. I knew l the game was up. tH.. .ln.. -.s
 ssSure enough, dead ahead of us was the headlight of the special In daze I heard the crash as they struck, and saw cars shivered into atoms, people mashed and mangled and bleeding, and gasping for water. I heard another crash as the French professor struck the deep keys away down on the lower end of the south ern division, and then came to my senses. There he was at dead stand-still, with the door of the fire box of the machine open, wiping the precipitation off his face, and l lowing at the people before him. If I live to be thousand years old I'll never forget the ride that Frenchman gave me on 6 piano."

Contributed Twilight Thoughts.

There is calm which steals upon the heart, . As fade the beams of daylight in the west, The cares of day with it's last rays depart,
 And peaceful twilight settles in the breast. There is a voice then speaking of the past,
 In tones like far-of music to our ears,- To bring the sigh, the shade of sadness cast, While yet he feels happiness who hears. The stars peer forth, and look with chilling
 gaze From underneath the eyebrowssof Q cloud : Beneath, Q darker cloud, which hides all rays, Hangs from the mountains shoulder like a
 shroud. .efaas4 Y And gleaming thro' the softened evening shade A raft of moonlight ies along the stream Which feels the kiss ofsgust, then, half afraid, The dimpling waters light with merry gleam. While checkered shadows linn our lonely way; Glows at the setting sun each tree-top's crest And skies that lowered at the close of day,
 Light with glad thought, and smile along

Your PILLS saved me many times after the best medical skill in several states had given me up as hopeless. ] have had many converts to purgation with Brandreth's Pills, and have seen them perform almost miracles of cure. For children, 8 few doses have cured measles, scarlet fever, and whooping cough. In all female troubles and weakness have never known them to fail. In adult males have known them to cure the worst cases of dyspepsia, rheumatism, kidney diseases, dysentery and diarrhoea; even drop sy, paralysis, and apoplexy have yielded to a persistent course of Brandreth's Pills.

CARPETS OR NO CARPETS. This

CARPETS OR NO CARPETS This is not a very easy question to answer, as the cir cumstances differ greatly. I can make a few suggestions that may be of use. There is paper made expressly for putting on the floor before the carpet is laid It is not expensive, and will last lifetime. It takes all the dust, and makes the house cleaning much easier. A carpet sweeper is of great comfort The ordinary broom sweeps the dust up into the room and cov- CTS the sweeper as well as the furniture and curtains with dust, which never gets quite out of the room. Another plan for keeping clean IS to have a carpet that does not cover the entire floor; space of two not need to be moved The carpet can be and the floor mopped up If the floor is good, and can be painted, this is good plan. Such carpet must be heavy, and can be lined with bagging or coarse brown straw bed covering to give 1t weight. In Germany, the painted floor is wiped up every morning, and the smaller mats are beaten. In France, the beautiful hard wood floors are waxed and polished after all is finished and the loom dusted, there is sweet, clean odor, and shining polish to everything, that is the very perfection of comfort = Country Gentleman. $
