CLEVELAND, June 21.-Since the publica-
ton of Ex-Governor Tilden's letter of with
drawal, the supporters Of Payne, senator
elect, have been working hard in pushing his
claims as the Democratic candidate for the
presidency, while the friends of Hoadly have

man for second place on the ticket. Judge

A CAREFUL HUSBAND.

For three years Mrs. B. had been
"a sad, nervous invalid, when by the
death OF an uncle she came into pos
session Of bonds yielding an income of
So 900. At once her health began to
improve, she walked erect, and the
lines OF her face were curiously changed.
Since her marriage she had become a
beggar, and beggars are not strong in
health or beafing. Her husband was
rich, but "careful" about his money.
He never parted with dollar il he
could possibly teepit.
Their house was handsome, and their
table good, but while Dora, the servant,
who dressed quite as well as her mistress,
was never obliged to beg for money,
Mrs. B could not get dollar for
personal expenses without explaining,
urging-begging.
Visiting her mother in another State,
she related, with many tears, the fol-
lowing story:
81 neededa warm dress, but so great
was my repngnance to asking John for
the means that put it off till after New
Years. One evening we had company,
and John was gratifed with their praise
of my singing. After we had retired
and be had spoken very warmly of my
success in entertaining our friends, |
thought the moment auspicious, and
mentioned the needed dress. He was
silent for some minutes, and then said:
"Why, my dear, thought you were
the best-dressed woman among them.
Don't you think, dearest, it's a foolish
thing to GO on adding dress after dress,
when your closet is so full that you can
hardly get into it? II you will take my
advice, should say wear out some of
the dresses you already have before
getting more
"Not another word was spoken by
either of us. did not choose to tell
him that the dress l had worn that
evening was my. only handsome one,
and that my only warm woolen dress
was worn out. could not sleep, and
before morning resolved, come what
might, would never beg again. That
vow have kept. During two years /
have had no additions to my wardrobe,
except the woollen dress you sent to
me. Not one word has passed between
my husband and self on the subject.
"When / left my music teaching,
with its large income sand sweet in
dependence, and gave myself to John,
it was easy to make me happy. ! asked
but little, and you know, mother, that
never shrink from care and labor.
Now that dear Uncle Eben's bonds af-
ford me the means to clothe myself,
and assist my nieces as | used to, shall
forgive, forget and be happy. John is
urging me TO transfer the bonds to him,
and let him take care of them for me-"
"My daughter, will you do it?'
"Why, mother, have kissed those
yellow, dirty, old bonds again and again,
because they have made it possible for
me to become happy and loving wife.
l tremble when think how near came
to hating my husband. shall keep
the bonds in my own hands! They are
really and truly the only bonds that
bind me to life."

A LOAD OF POLE CATS.

A frolicsome fellow in the southern
part of Arkansaw, wrote the following
notice and tackled it ON tree:
"Glakins & Co., the largest merchants
in our county, will pay five dollars
apiece for every live pole cat delivered to
them. This offer is made in view of
the fact that pole cats have been sudden
ly discovered to be extremely valuable"
Two or three weeks afterwards, while
Col. Glakins was standing in front of his
store, strong Whit of something came
around the house and almost knocked
him down; and before he could recover
from the shock, old Mulberry Patterson,
a well-known hill farmer, drove around
with kind of box wagon and stopped.
''Good Lord, Mulberry, what's the
matter?" exclaimed the colonel.
"Never mind, colonel, I've got 'em.
Nobody can make an appeal to mc in
vain. Whoa, there! They're fghtin'
in thar, now" he added, as terrible
squall, followed by decided supplement
to the already intolerable odor, came
from the wagon-bed.
"What on earth have you got in
there?"
"Pole cats, colonel"
"Well, d it, drive on away"
"Whar must drive? Whar do yer
want 'em put?"
''Put them where you please, 50 you
take them away from here"
"What sort o. business man air yer?
Have me an my boys pokin' all aroun'
over the hills after pole cats an then
won't take 'em?''
'I tell you to drive away from here.
l had nothing to do with your catching
the devilish things. Whewp'
"Didn't you stick up signs notifyin'
the public that you wanted pole cats?"
"No, didn't"
"Wall, l reckin' yer did fur l seed
one myself. I've got sixty cats here.
Gin me three hundred dollars an take
EN-"
"If you don't go away from here I'll
shoot the top of your crazy head off,"
"All right, I'll leave the cats here an
go to law about it, and he opened the
hind gate of the wagon. The cats
poured out and after running around,
having everything pretty much their
own way, they took refuge under the
colonePs store-house. The old farmer
drove away to consult lawyer, and the
colonel after vainly trying to dislodge the
cats, decided to remove his stock Of
goods, which, in fact, he was compelled
to do The case came up for trial the
other day, and the judge held that the
colonel should have taken the cats, and
therefore instructed the jury to bring in
a verdict OF two hundred dollars and
some "scents" in favor of the farmer.

KATIE's KISSES.

They belong to me now wild yersilf,

But she answered an tould me, wild eyes
That no star IN the sky could eclipse,
"An' it's thrue they belong to yersilf,
Sure how nd We kiss yer own lips?"
"Jist as aisy," cried, las to spake,
An swater nor honey. The sun
Is cowlder by far" But she vowed
The likes of it couldn't be done.
Thin offered the same to restore
Wild n seal jist as thrue rs the day;
But she said, 81 'ud never take back
What once had given away"
"An I'll lind ye the loan NV 'em, dear," "
replied: but wild infinite scorn
She axed, did did think that her lips
Were made fur to rint or to pawn
Thin i-sat jist as mute as a stone!
An '.niver a word did say,
Till Katie, onaisy like, pouted her lips
(Och, the rouge!) in a ravishin' way,
An wild dimples to timpt all the saints,
An wild bushes way up to her brow,
As soft as an angel she spake, "Ud ye
like
To be lindin' the loan NV 'em now!"

through the cellar, and gave the coffee
to Florence.
And Florence went home and told
her mother that the Dorsey's kept their
Drowned coffee down cellar and wasn't
it queer?
After while Harriet came out and
went to work at her cakes again.
"Elva," said she, solemnly, ''if we
lever have another wedding in this house,
I'll do one of two things"
"Well, what?" asked Elva.
"I'll either do all the cooking and all
the sewing in the dead hours of night,
after the neighbors are gone to bed, or
I'll lock the back door and throw the
key down the well"
AT the supper-table, they laughingly
related their smuggling adventures to
Mr.. Mort James and Lily, and Harriet
repeated her plan to them.
81 know a better way yet," said
Mort, "to escape back-door miseries. !"
"Do tell itv' said Harriet.
"When Lily and l build house in
the city, we'll not have any back door,"
said Mort.
"Well, that would be blessing"
breathed poor aggravated Harriet.
Pretty soon the invitations were out,
and the wedding came off, and then the
wonder of Hilborn neighbors was great.
''Well, it does beat ALL" said Mrs.
Brown, show they did keep it so close !!
Why, was in and out there every day!"
$50 was !" said Mrs. Scott, "and
never saw a sign of wedding"
"And so was 20 echoed Florence.
"Why, l just lodged in at the back door
any time! They were making cake one
day, but, you know, ] never took the
hint at all"
"Well, always thought they were a
queer kindp said Mrs. Scott, "You
never could find out much about their
affairs"
And they all agreed that this time the
secret had been kept, in spite of the
back door.

A CHARMING FERN EASEL

There is no design more graceful for
growing ferns or vines in the drawing
room than an easel of bamboo, so shtted
at short distances that little pans may
be inserted into the hollow wood. These
can be filled with soil and planted with
fanciful growth, mosses, ferns or vines,
which will grow until the bamboo is COW
cred and perchance the picture on the
easel charmingly draped. The little pans
OF ferns, rock moss, swamp moss and
wood moss, with pitcher plant, pine
branches, snake-root, fungi, winter
green, woodberries, wild cranberries and
acorns, called "Boston ferneries," are
arriving i'm unusual beauty. To scour the
woods for the filling of fern pans pro-
vides delightful recreation for children
II set OH gilded basket they make a
beautiful centre piece for the table. To
keep these freslr during the entire win
ter they should be soaked daily in water,
being then drained by tipping the pan.
The brackets and pockets of pottery
which appear in such great variety in
china shops may be filled with water
vines with fine effect. English ivy will
grow in water, but SO slowly that it il
better to keep it in the earth, where it
will climb, indoors, and grow luxuriantly
during winter months. Vinca, or peri
winkle, is another slow grower in water.
Tradescantia, or spiderwort, is the fast
est runner of all the water vines. The
T. repeus vittata, T. aquatica, T. zebrina,
and T. multicolor are the best for indoor
cultivation. Umbrella ferns (Aspedistra
cyperus) thrive well in vases water
filed.

A TALKING CROW.

At the house of j. /. English, in the
west end of the city, is pet crow who
rejoices in the name of "Grip." This
bird, now about sixteen months old,
shows that it is not necessary to split
the tongue of crow in order that it
may speak. What seems more strange,
his tones, so far from being discordant
and crow-like, exactly resemble those
of the human family around him. His
curiosity is always aroused by the APP
proach of a stranger. Upon seeing a
person for the first time he deliberately
walks around him, examining him in
the keenest and most critical manner,
frequently ordering him with great
sternness to ego home" or ego away"
Possibly, if "Grip" is in pleasant
frame of mind, he will greet a stranger
with "Hello, hello" He initiates every
noise that may be heard in the farm
yard; calls like hen when when she
fears danger to her brood of chickens,
scolds like setting hen, whinnies like
horse in the fields, and after an inter-
mission will crow like the king of
chandeliers, and again like a young
cock just try his feeble, cracked voice.
He seems to consider himself the guard
ian of the premises, walking up and
down the street in front of the house
and driving before him cats, dogs, or
any unfortunate chickens that have
wandered beyond their limits.
At first he always buried portion OF
the food given him, plucking up grass
and leaves and chips to cover it; then,
il offered more, he would unearth the
hidden store and bury in its place that
last offered. But now that he finds his
rations forthcoming without care OH his
part, he only buries that which is left
after satisfying his hunger. His favor
ite tid-bit is a bone having little raw
meat on it, and this is often hidden for
days. He never eats corn, but small
grains and berries he will hold in n
pouch at the root of his bill. He never
speaks with his mouth full, but will
unload the pouch and say, "Old fellow,
old fellowv oftentimes again picking up
the grains and utterly refusing to drop
them again.
He has never shown any desire to
fraternize with the wild crows who
came about him. Not long since, being
addressed by some of the crows with a
loud "caw- cav ;" Grip responded by say
ing .bow-wow- -wow," following this with
loud "Hello," which so frightened
them that they took rapid flight and
did not return. He is keen hunter of
moles, and these pests have been
obliged to seek other places than the
smooth lawn, which "Grip" seems to
consider his own especial property.
There are numberless little things which
show great degree of intelligence in
the crow, and indicate degree of
reasoning one would hardly look for
in bird usually considered nuisance.
1t is sincerely hoped that no careless
sportsman will shoot this wonderful
''Grip'' as he flies around the neighbor-
hood. II Hartford Post.

ANFCDOTH % Of WEBSTER.

II is said, though We never saw 1t in
print, that Daniel Webster was once
suddenly called to plead in court for one
OF the parties to suit, and before he
had really made their acquaintance
sufficiently to know which was plaintiff
and which was defendant. But he
started off with few points OF the case,
and was warming up eloquently, as he
supposed, for his client, when he felt a
nervous and then vigorous jerking ut
his coat-skirts. He paused and bent
his head down to hear his clients whis-
pered appeal: "What on earth do you
mean? Pm not the plaintiffg I'm the
defendant in this action. Do you want
to get me convicted?" Webster quietly
took in the situation, and, as usual, was
equal to it. Without in the least be.
traying himself or his client, he resumed,
as If without interruption: "Such, your
Honor and Gentlemen of the Jury, is
the line Of argument and appeal by
which our opponents would mislead you,
cheat justice and punish my client.
But''-and then he proceeded to unfold
his theory Of the defense as he proposed
to conduct the case in the mastery way
30 characteristic Of the great orator and
jurist. The master Of others must first
be master Of himself.

A PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY.

A few years ago, fashionable society
in England was agitated by the advent
of the professional beauty" a name
applied to women whose singular beauty
tempted them to pose for the admiration
of men. English society, even Of the
fashionable sort, is. so decorous, that
high-born danes were disturbed by the
presence of such an anomaly as a vir-
tuous woman whose manner said, "I
wish to be stared at, for enjoy it."
Yet on the Continent such women have
long been known, and society there
freely acknowledged their right to pose
before all who wished to admire them.
A writer in the Century, who met an
extraordinary beauty in Italy, the Count
Castiglione, says her self-appreciation
was enormous, and her frankness in re-
gard to her beauty most amusing.
On her return, after short visit to
England, some one asked her if she had
seen many handsome women there.
"None more beautiful than myself" was
the brief but pointed reply.
Such was the "craze" she excited that
a crowd gathered at the door of ball
room to see her enter, and many of
them stood in chairs to crafty their
curiosity. But such adulation did not
in the least disturb her equanimity.
She might have been embarrassed if
she had not been greeted by crowd.
But it was at her evening receptions
that her self-appreciation and love of
admiration were most frankly and bril-
liantly expressed. She reclined on
sofa, withdrawn some distance from the
wall, in a graceful pose, and dressed SO
as to display her neck and arms to the
best advantage. Near her was lamp,
so placed as to throw the proper lights
and shadows on her form and features.
Her guests, men of course, were
seated in row at little distance,
whence they might gaze in respectful
admiration. Now and then she would
signal to one of them, by languid
movement of her hand, that he might
approach her. The slavish admirer
would advance with a deferential bow,
kiss her hand and tell her she was
beautiful. Then he would pass around
the sofa, that he might see her from
every point of view, and thus return to
his seat.
"The dictionary" says the writer in
the Century, "defines vanity as IAN
initiation of mind upon slight grounds
therefore, she was not vain, for her
grounds were strong" Yet such enor-
nous seif-appreciation and love of
admiration must have been disgusting to
arefined observer, whose type of woman
hood required the presence of modesty,
simplicity and sweetness

A MISTAKE.

How your sweet face revives again
The dear old time, my Pearl,
If may use the pretty name
called you when a girl.
Youare so young; while Time of me
Has-made a cruel prey,
- 1t has forgotten you, nor swept
One grace Of youth away.
The same sweet face, the same sweet smile
The same 1.-the figure too!
What did you say, "It was perchance
Your mother that knew"
All, yes, Of course, it must have been,
And yet the same you seem,
And for q moment all these years
Fled from me like dream.
Then what your mother would not give,
Permit me, dear, to take,
The old mans privilege kiss
Just for your mothers sake.
