A Cairene Bride.

On allghting from our carriage,
says a correspondent who is writing
Of visit to Cairo, we were hastily con-
Quoted across q large covered court, in
which tables were spread and hired mu-
sicisns were performing, and were shown
up to the women's apartments, passing
through pumber of narrow, winding pas
sages-it was, l was told, a real old-fash-
ioned Turkish inteuor-and traverslng a
number OF rooms furnished with q curious
mixture OF the splendid and the tawdry,
until we came to the room where the bride
sat to receive the final compliments of her
her friends. She was small-framed, deli
cate-lookIng person, with fairly regular
features and beautiful eyes ard teeth, but
the former, Notwithstanding that her face
was thickly painted white, showed traces
of tears, and she looked and evidently was
tired to death. ''She hiss been crying all
day." whispered the French governess to
US coHfdentlally; ''she has never seen
hlm, of course, and has got an idea that
she shan't like him; the fact Is, she dId
not want TO be married at all, but of course
her family would net refuse - Pasha's
alliance" The new brides apartments
have been returnished IN her honor. and
were bestrewn with yellow SATIN chairs
and fauteuIls, which most of the women
carefully avoided, prefering to sit COM
fortably on the carpet or on the lowest
foot-stool they could find. The BRIDE sat
ike q little image on chair raised on two
steps in one corner of the room; her hands,
lncased in tight white kid gloves, were
crossed on her lap, and she never moved
at all, except that she acknowledged our
ccurtesies, as strangers, with slight.
grave inclination of the head. The other
women kept up pretense that 1t was all
very delightful, and occasionally stroked
her dress smilsng in passing, or rearranged
the heavy gold frInges of the veil. She
had put off a magnificent bridal dress of
white satin on entering the house of this
husband whom she 'shad never seen," and
was now arrayed in pink satin heavily en-
broidered with gold, having on her head q
veil of tulle and gold ornamented with
flowers and diamonds, while large diamond
brooches and bracelets glIttercd on her
dress and wrists. The long train OF her
dresss, made in European fashion, was
spread ostentatiously halt across the floor.
Those of her relations who had come with
her were also very smart and very modern.
Her sister, in addition to pair of high
heeled shoes, had advanced to the civilized
length OF wearing tight stays.

in car on the west side elevated road
in New York, recently. when youth
from Yale strobe in and discovered an
acquaintance In the person of a young
New Yorker who sat opposite me.
''Well, fo- charity's sake!" yelled the
youth from Yale, ''when d you blow

Yale, with a sharp nose, very tight
trousers, microscopic mustache, avery
short coat, and an English hat. ''eome

looking around with broad and COM
prehensive smile at the passengers,
land tins curiosity has blown in"
This brilliant sally was received by
the New York young man with a grin OF
delight. He retorted with epigramma-
tic br1lliancy:
"Ah, go chase yourself around your
feet!'
Upon this they shook hands warmly,
made furtiye blows at each others ribs
and sat down together. They both
stared at the passengers for some time,
expecting them to go INTO transports OF
merriment, but somehow the passengers
did not look joyful, but gazed at each
other sadly and with apprehension.
"oh, you coy darlmg!" piped the
New Yorker inavoice supposed to MINI

A Despe crate Gambler.

An occurrence has lsteIy transpired
at Nice, France, which is near Monaco
the great gambling centre of Europe.
A notorious habiiue of the Casino who
had made his money Principally there,
had set up an English vehicle, q pair OF
horses "uger" and all, and cut quite a
swell driving through the neighborhood.
One day he was riding in the environs
of town upon the fine roads, his serv-
ant sitting upo the raised .box behind,
who has been feeling somewhat uneasy
at not receiving his wages for some
time, seeing his master quite alone
ventured to ask him through the back
window if he would not make it conve-
nient to pay him. The master was in
a good humor, and asked,
.'How much is il, La Fleur?"
zone hundred and twenty five iSres,
may it please you, monsieur"
very well, here it is, said the mas
ter, spreading the sum in paper curren-
cy upon the seat Of the vehicle. snow,
La Fleur, have you pack of cards with
you?'

Gus lackey, 81 always carry them, mon
sieur," producing the cards at once.
'eThat is we'll Now will be banker
and you shall play against me. 1 will
take the front seat, the back one shall
serve for our table, you can look
through this back window.
The lackey assented to this, amused
at his masters condescenslon. Luck
was rather on the masters side, but
both men became quite eager IN the
game thinking OF that and that only.
Little by little the footman's money
was going until all that was left of his
wages was five hvres- He began to
feel anxious when luck turned and he
won the whole sum back with every
sou his master had about him.
Piaued at his loss the master wagered
a morse, which the lackey won, then its
mate next the hafness, and lastly the
carriage itself. Luck ran all one way,
and the servant, La Fleur, won every
thing. The master took out his watch
and put it down against given sum.
The cards we're shufied, the lackey
won.
Il have nothing more, La Fleur; you
have cleaned me out" said the half
desperate gambler.
The servant was II high spirits at his
strange run OF luck.
"Here are a hundred livres, monsieur,

Then the cards were shuffied and La
Fleur won. The vehicle returned to
Nice with his former master sitting In
the servants box behind, La Fleur in

A Little More.

One of the stockholders of a new Wes-
TEN railroad was farmer who had &C
cumulated his money by hard toll, and
when he had put in appearance at the
meeting to elect Soard of Directors he
felt it his duty to remark:
Gentlemen, as understand this thing
we elect the Board and the Board elects
the officers"
Some one said he was right, and he con-
linued:
81 don't go cent on high salaries, and
| want that understood, am in favor of
paying cur President good living salary,
and no more"
''How much do you call good living

''Well, 81 day is the going wages,
but"
Here the meeting began to roar, and il
was two or threeminutes before the orator
had a chance to conclude:
'But OF course we want man who can
run an engine, switch train, handle
freight, keep books and lick anybody who
want pay fare, and so shall not object TO

The ISronze Age.

During the excavations in the Piazza
NIttorio Emanueli. in Rome, the work
men have found a sepulchre of the
bronze age. 1t is hole dug in the tufa
and lined with rough stones, tie whole
being SIX feet long and three feet wide.
No ashes were found, and the other
remains proved it to belong to the
transition period between the stone age
and the bronze age. The whole space
between the Via Merulana and the
railway station is covered with similar
graves lying deep under the ancient
EsquiliS. Considering the number Of
remains discovered curing the last
twelve years, and those recorded by
old writer's, 1t Is probable that a town
was founded on the site in the bronze
age.

How Apple. Are Sold in EngIans.

There are five auctioneers in the bust
ness In Liverpool, and all the apples re-
ceived are sold by them. The sale is
held in large amphitheatre, in the
centre of which is a large table, on
which barrel of each mark is poured
out as sample. Each auctioneer sells
for three quarters of an hour at a time,
and the sales continue, if necessary, till
10 O'Clock at night. Apples are sold in
lots of twenty barrels each. The un-
derstanding is that the apples shall be
perfectly tight In the barrel, when such
bring 70 sblllings per barrel :''shakers, E"
or these not tightly packed, Will bring
shiilings less. The next grade is ''wet
and wasted" which brings only half
the price OF the best. The Baldwin is
the on y variety sold to any amount !;
1t Is the only one which can be obtained
in sufficient quanty to sell by the
thousand barrels. Retail lots and odds
and ends are not wanted. Sales are
held three days In week. The trade
oates from about ten years ago. When
1t became apparent that New England
could raise apples enough for its own
consumption, the New York growers
began to ship. In packing, basket of
high-colored and medium-sized speci-
mems are placed in the bottom OF the
barre, as close as possible, with the
stems all down, and the barrel is shaken
as often as basketful is put in. 1t is
filed half an inch above the chimes,
the head is pressed in by means of
screw, and the barrel is then turned
over and marked on the face head, so
that when opened 1t shows an even and
uniform surface. Apples thus faced
will bring from twenty-five to fifty cents
more than those not faced. There is
very little demand for sweet apples.
Apples are sometimes shipped success
fully in warm weather, when later ship
ments, IL cooler weather, will decay.

The democratic Party Not Sectional
The efforts of the extreme Republican
napers TO make it appear that the Demo
cratic party is a sectional party, because
n Southern man has been elected speaker,
will hardly succeed. It's true that Mr.. Car
Isle received a majority Of the Southern
votes in the Speakership election, but II
was not because he was Southern man.
but because he more nearly than any
other candidate represented the position
of the Democratic party on the
tariff. He got very little help
from The Eastern States, but the west
gave him handsome support. Mr.. Ran
dali got a good many Southern votes. Inc
vote in the election for Speaker shows
that the Democratic party is not sec
tionaI party. or, as some Of the Northern
papers call it, Southern party
Nothing would give the Republican pa
pers more pleasure than to be able 10 say
with an appearance Of truth, that the
Democratic party is a Southern and sec
tiOnal party. They would insist lhat
Southern man being Speaker the South
would have control of the government IN
the event of the success of the
Democratic party in the national
contest. They might succeed IN
arousing some sectional feeling in
the North by such talk. but the great ma
iority Of the Northern people are far too
sensible to be disturbed by the assertion
that the South is trying to capture the
government. The South is not seeking to
get possession of the government. but the
Democratic party is, and with a very FAR
prospect Of success. The fact that a
Southern man can be elected to so impor-
tant an office as that Of Speaker by the AID
of Northern votes shows that the era OF
sectional feeling, brought about by the
war, is rapidly passing away. ana tnat
men of ability and character are not 10 De

in the government simply because they
happen to be from the South. The time
has come when a mans fitness for the
highest offices should not depend upon the
