a gracious greeting to two of the jeu.
nesse doree of New York.

neSse doree of New York.
"Ah p' said Alexia, with the utmost
self-possession, "here is mamma now
and my sisters. Don't move, Mr. He,
lullyn," she added in a lower tone
"Pm quite safe now. Mamma won't
dare to scold me before company"
And Mrs. Ardell and the Misses Scar
lett were forced to digest their rage
and modification as best they could.
For Alexia outshone them as real,
crimson-hearted rose outshines the mil.
liners false presentment - as the dia-
amond outshines the wretched paste
ornament-and they knew it but too
we'll.
But success excuses everything, and
Mrs. Ardell could not but perceive that
the quaint young beauty, in the an
tique dress, was emphatically a sue
cess.
"AleXia," she CRIED when there was
a temporary lull in the stream of call
ers, how dared you play us such a
trick 2"
81 did it for fun, mamma" said Al
eXia. "And if you scold me, shall
tell Mr.. Helullyn 1t was he that
brought Inc back from the depot, and
he is my htenA"
81 never heard anything so insolent
in my life ~ cried Ermengarde Scar
lett, turning pale with anger
"She ought to be locked up for a
week on bread and water said We
rena, passionately.
But Aleyia only arched her eyebrows
and smiled.
During that New Years day the
child had blOomed out into woman.
AleXia had discovered her own tails
man of power.
They could none of them ever scold
or tyrannize over her again. She had
no more fears Of being sent back to
boarding school.
But Miss Ermengarde Scarlett could
hardly conceal her spite the next day
when Mr. IIelullyn came to ask AL
eYia out to drive, nor when bouquets
with cards attached, kept arriving for
AleXia.
Mamma" she said, "wbat is to be
done 2"
Nothing, that l can see,' said Mrs.
Ardell, drily. "The child cant help
being a beauty, l suppose"
"She will have to go everywhere
with us now," said Verena, plaintively.
81 tried my best to keep her back"
sighed Mrs. Ardell but she has pre-
cipitated herself into society,""
And pretty AleXia Ardell reigned
the belle of the season, and in the spring
Mr.. Helullyn asked her father for her
hand in marriage, The Judge, honest
man, stared in amazement.
IL thought it was Ermengarde
you fancied !" said he 81 knew she
liked you"
81 am too much honored," said Mr..
Helullyn, without changing a feature;
"but | have never aspired to that hon
or, It's AleXia, and AleXia only, that
| love "
"Oh !" said the judge. "Well, suit
yourself-suit yourself"
And so before she was quite seven
teen, AleXia Ardell was married, and
Ermengarde and Verena had the draw
ing-room all to themselves upon the
next New Year day.
But they were not satisfied, after all.
Some people never are satisfied.

colleague, Thomas Jefferson, speaking
OF the Congress which issued the Docla.
ration Of Independence, "John Adams
was our Colossus on the floor. He was
not graceful nor elegant nor remarkably
fluent, but he came out oocasiorally
with power of thought and expression
that moved us from orr seats"
An illustration of Mr.. Adams force OF
language and striking figures of speech
was given to Daniel Webster, just be-
fore the venerable ex-President's death.
Mr.. Webster called on Mr.. Adams Mt his
home in Quincy, and found him reclin-
ing on the sofa, breathing with great
difficulty.

Webster, "and l hope you are getting

THo yf1nIONs Losr.

The postal money-order system was
established seventeen years ago by nm
act OF Congress, and its devisers claimed
TINT it was the cheapest, safest and
speediest method of transmitting money
ever invented. However, the weak
point in the system is illustrated by the
large amount of money deposited in the
postoffices all over the Union, and,
through one blunder or another, never
paid to the persons who ought to have
received it. The postoffice in New York
Is the general headquarters of the sys-
tenn, and there is now unclaimed at the
disposal of this Office 81, s25, 497. 40.
Which is the result of seventeen years
accumulation. All of the money I'M
claimed in the postofIiees all through
the country is sent to the New York
postoflce.
This accumulation of nearly $4,000
900 is largely due to the miscarriage in
sending orders, or to their loss by the
sender or payee. Many of the lost or
miscarried orders might have been paid
II the payee or remitter had applied to
has Postmaster for duplicate order.
Perhaps ii has been through ignorance,
perhaps through oarelessness, that this
has not been done, but usually the re-
mitter appears to suppose that the
payee has received his money, and, on
the other hand, the payee thinks it has
not been sent. The surplus fund is in
croasing all the while.

From being the driesl and one of the
unhealthiest towns in Southwest
Georgia, Albany has become perhaps
the best watered town in the State, and
while the country round about is as full
of sickness as ever, it has had very lit
tie, indeed, of the customary sickness
All this has been brought about simply
by boring two artesian wells. Over
500 feet Of boring was done at an ok
pense nj less than 81 500, and a supply
LOT absolutely pure and ice-cold water
fully sufficient to more than supply The
wants OF the city OF $500 people Is the
result Albany's example is being fol
lowed by several towns, and with the
