rallrOau maSnate IN western state,
and the story she tells is most pitable
one.
Her hard-headed father took the pre-
caution at her marriage to settle his
daughters fortune upon her, and tied
it up il such way that she could not
relinquish its control, even if she de-
sired to do so. After many humiliating
tasks had been given this lady, the boot
cleaning was required. Then she re-
belled. She drew the line there, and
with her American blood at the boiling
point, she fatty refused. Her warrior
husband. who. beside his military rank,
has the title of a count, attempted to
enforce discipline in his family by
using his riding whip upon his recalcit-
rant bride, and after q serious time of
it she evaded the tiogging and left the
bed and board of the knightly Uhlan
for her native land. Her husband
could not prevent her departure, but
tried to compel the payment of GER
tain sum of money by way of salve to
the wounds his sensibility received by
her abrupt departure. He did not sue
ceed, for the lady had no property in
the province that could be held, go she
got away without further loss of time.

market. 1t is radical blood purifier,
which soothes and heals all infiamed

tenn, washes out all evidences of decay,
regulates digestion, prevents malassim-
ilation of food in philosophical and

it Is not our purpose to dispute the
correctness of Professor Grimmer's
prophecies. AS we have said, the
marked disturbances of the past few
years would seem to give q semblance
OF veriication of his theory 1t is GER
tain, as above stated, that we are pass
ing through what may be regarded rs Il
crucial period, and it is the part of
wise men not to ignore, but to learn to
tortify themselves against the possibility
OF being overcome by three evils. 1t is q
duty which each man owes to himself,
and his fellows, to mitigate rs much as
possible the suffering of humanity, and
IN no way better can he accomplish this
purpose than to see to it that he, himself,
is fortified by the best known prepare
ton IN the strongest possible manner,
and that he exert the influence of his
own example upon his fellows to the
end that they, too, may share with him
immunity from the destructive influ-
ences which seek his ruin.

Disraeli and Wines.
Temple Bar,

1pmpie
SHOW do you manage to keep so
healthyP" he was asked by dyspeptic
fob. "By dining off sardine," was
the answer, and there was some truth
in this. To the end of his life Disraeli
always ate very sparingly when alone,
and this enabled him to keep good
appetite for public occasions, thereby
rebutting the presumption, which his
pale face suggested, that he was con-
sumptive. In this connection some re-
marks of his about wine may be men
toned. Hard drinking was in fashion
during his youth, and at public dinners
men who letthe bottle pass were hardly
regarded as gentlemen. Disraeli, who
could never stand much wine, suffered
a good deal from this social usage, and
he set himself to study the demeanor of
men who could drink deep without
being any the worse for it. Lord Mel

That's the reason you never got on.
Old Ben. Franklin's rule is the one to
live by if you want to succeed in life
"What is it to succeed?" asked the
daughter, stirring the half-cold coffee
her mother handed her, without offer
ing to taste it.
"Why, to make money, to have a
home of your own, and something to
live on. What else could it be?'
ssNo, no; it isn't that" replied Ana
stasia, with a radiant smile. "To sue
coed is to drink life in one great
draught of perfect happiness, and then

"Supreme nonsense echoed the
mother. 81 never could understand
Anastasia's infatuation. At her age,
too. Why, she was nearly thirty! Old
enough to have gotten over all that ro-
mantle folly about love-"
A sudden flash, followed by sudden
pallor, overspread the delicate face of
the young woman.
"Ah! yes," she exclaimed, leaning
back and stretching her arms upward,
cold enough to have tried everything
else, and found love alone worth hay
ing"
The outstretched arms fell heavily
back, her head dropped upon her
breast, there was a slight culver of the
frame, faint sigh-that was all.
The mother stood with her pile of
plates in her hand-the father sprang
to his feet, dropping book and spec
tacles upon the floor.
1t was too late to recall her. The
pure, sensitive soul had once more es-
capped from the cold restraints of home
to regain its native atmosphere of love.

Mayns Reid's Books.
Pail Mall Gazette.


The following details, which we be-
ieve to be correct, concerning the sale
of Captain Mayne Reid's novels may

the novelist came into the hands of
Messrs. G.. Routledgc & Sons, namely:
ssThe Desert Home" of which 9,748
were printed; "The Boy Hunters"
8,455; 1.-The Young VOyageurs," 6,954;

November, 1860, Captain Mayne Reid
wrote for the same firm two original
books, called '.Bru;n; or, The Great
Bear Hunt" and "Odd People," of
the former 5000 were printed, of the
latter 5000. In Jnly, 1879, "Gasper,
the Guacho," was published, of which
5000 copies were printed. In Febru-
airy, 1860, two of his novels, "The War
Trail and "The Quadron," came into
their possession, of the former 1850
and of the latter 11,400 copies being
printed. In January, 1878, twenty
more copies of his novels came into

A middle door, leading from another

Matches.
Chicago Herald.

Chicago Herald.
"That match you are lighting your
cigar with is a very small thing, isn't
it?" said a passenger VINO had shared
my seat for a few miles. ga small
thing, but you wouldn't believe the
American people paid out S27,000,000
for matches last year, would you? 1t
looks big, but it is fact. Now, take
pencil and figure it out. Fifty millions
of people in this country; they use on
an average five matches each per day;
that is 250,0O0,O00 matches daily, or
2,500,O 900 boxes of 100 matches in a box,
every day. Last year these boxes re-
tailed at an average of three cents
each, making S75, 900 day for matches,
or $27,375,OO0 year. And then to
think that three-fourUhs of all these
matches were supplied by one COM
pany! If they didn't make SS,OOO,OOO
clear profit out of it they didn't make a
cent.
The harvest day of the match monop-
oily is now at an end, as they no longer
have government revenue tax levied
for their benefit. But they still control
the trade, on account of their superior
manufacturing facilities, large capital,
etc. They own thousands of acres of
timber land in Michigan, and their lum-
Der is cut by their own men and shipped
on their own boats. And then they
have contracted for nearly all the
worlds supply of PHOSPHORUS years
ahead, and the new manufacturers
starting into the business find them
selves over-matched in many ways by
the old monopoly, which can still con-
troll the trade and make fair profit on
its investments. They control twenty
two factories, and one of them has
capacity of 100000 of matches daily.

Low Grade.

The Chicago Mining Review has
The following able article on low
grade ores, which undoubtedly will
be very interesting to those inter
ested in mining property.
AS favorable as has been the
results of mining experiments to
this country. and as satisfactory.
when compared with the knowl-
edge and wisely directed etferts
expended, it is more than prs .ble
that the most important and In
crative field in this industry has
been neglected. Owing to the
many natural disadvantages under
which all mining operations
have so far been prosecuted, the
one item of cost has made it posi-
bic only to operate i'll a certain
field. Miners yer compelled to
seek orlocalities giving high grade
ores, and TO ignore those that did
not reach Il certain standard.
Looking over the field in the light
of the past and the indications of
the future, it is probably safe to
state that the most valuable and
permanent portion of the future
supply and the basis of the mining
industry has AS yet been neglected
and is today untouched. Expert
ence has proven beyond a doubt,
whatever opportunity has been
given 10 test the question, that
large bodies of low grade ores have
the best results, and in real
ity furnish the real and substantial
basis for all operations in this direc-
ton.
The people of this country have
not yet begun to comprehend the
value Of the mineral resources

bestowed, ana do not understand
the magnitude and importance Of
the substantial industry which is
to be found upon this wide and IN
lestructible foundation. As the
fact dawns upon the consciousness

New York, Nov, 10, 1883.
There has been no dearth ct en-
ioyable occasions to distract fash
ionable people from the ordinary
cares oflife during the past week,
nor is there prospect of any sucII
lucll in the future. AS the world
ot social life revolves new stars
and systems, besidesa few old ones
In the way of social entertainments
rise to view The two opera
houses have been as full Of int erest
~ anything perhaps dnrlng the
week. For want of so:ial debu-
tantos, people r taking Il lively
Interest in new singers, as n by
one they are led out by the riva'
managers in much the same man
ner as if the latter were playing a
game of cards. There was a good
audience, Including many old faces,
At the Academy Friday night to
greet Miss Yorke, Mr.. Mapleson's
new reinforcement to his band OF
contralto singers.
Next to the operas in interest,
perhaps, if not equal TO them, has
hcen the appearance of Mr.. Irving
and Miss Terry. A large number
Of well known people were present
Monday night, and a good sprink-
ling duringth succeeding nights,
also several theater parties were
made up TO see the English ac:or
in his tender representation Of
Charles l., and on Wednesday
evening the silver crowned head
Of Robert Collyer might have been
seen in one Of the boxes.
One OF the problems Of Now
York social life is when 10 take u

the theater. What the average
young New Yorker desires is the
iudlcious combination OF economy
and tone. 1t is q difficult combi-
nation to strike. The great trouble
is, that there Is an unknown factor
in the case, which is known as the
Girls Appetite" After weeks of
consideration and much care the
Young man saves enough to take
his girl to the opera in what he

avoid it. If the day is fine he
walks. IfnOt, he rides in a street

horse flesh went out of him. A
