FROM THE MARBLE COW.

We returned to the Trianon just as

joyed myself "There was one thing"
she said, that I had not seen, and
travel where I might, would never

"What is it, madam ?"

Well, it was worth seeing. Every
table, every counter, every piece of
statuary was of white marble The
floors, walls, ceilings, curtains, every
thing was white The creole girls who
waited on the customers had the whitest
compilations / ever saw. They were
dressed in spotless white, and on their
left shoulder was bunch of white
iacqu, minot roses. Standing upon the
counter was a life-sized statue of Jer-

and woman with sweet face. did

SWEDES 1T HOME.
F. D. Millet in Harper's Magazine.


Shut your ears to the sound of mems
voices, and you cannot believe you are
in Sweden. That gay little log house
in the distance with its singled roof, the
cattle sheds and barns, the well sweep
and curb, the stone walls and post-and-
rail fences, might be transported bodily
and set down in the backwoods of many
a state, and never be noticed for the
difference of single stick of timber or
the fastening of single stake. Let
the door open, and the geography
changes by magic A little child totters
out into sunlight. Tt is dressed in q
single long garment of yellow home
spun wool as bright as the petals of the
buttercups or the dandelions. From
under close-ftting cap of vermilion
hue straggles out mass of faxen hair.
A stout leather apron tied under the
arms and over the shoulders protects the
dress from the chin to the toes of the
clumsy little shoes. A half-dozen other
children dressed exactly the same troop
out after it, and following them, the
mother, with a curious poke sun-bonnet
of bright red rivalling In brilliancy the
crimson of her homespun apron, carrie s
a pail on each arm to milk the COW 5
lowing at the pasture bars. The father
comes to the door of the barn to say q
word as they pass. But for his leather
apron shining with wear You wonld
take him for New England farmer of
Continental times, with his low shoes,
knee-breeches, long waistcoat and felt
hat. The ever equalizing influences OF
modern science have not yet reached
them, and they live and feel much the
same as their great-grandfathers did
before them.

Philadelphia Parks.
rT.s nr,1r1

The great park here has in roads and
drives altogether nearly 100 miles.
Our Central park of New York is only
dolls playhouse in comparison to it.
Dark and slimy-looking rivers, sug
gestive of catfish and eels, slide around
and about the city. But their du1lness
is relieved by the glory of the woods,
that now in the full splendor of autumn
illume their banks and hang above the
leaf-strewn, winding, silent waters.
Here in this park they show you the
house where Tom Moore is said to have
written some of his melodies. Here is
also dreary-looking habitation, called
Arnold's house, said to have been given
this unhappy man as reward for his
treason. All, yes, beautiful Philadelphia
beautiful / mean when you get
outside of her and into this park
and out of sight of the horrid rows
of houses-has her traditions and
stories, too; her house where
Washington slept, her Independence
hall, her Penn and his enduring treaty
made under the elm of peace. A
man who could not respect all these
and bow his head before them In this
Ol1J VA OkAOAo O0OW0Cn bnO bHO 44NG1D
has little in himself that is worthy of
respect.
As my friend drove me back from the
thrty-mile drive in this greatest park
in all the world asked him how it was
this city, without any special commerce
and its single line of ships from Europe,
had grown to such boundless dimen-
sions. He quietly drove me to some of
the factories for answer.
And now, would you like to see all
the factories of Philadelphia before
leaving our city 2"
"Weu, yes, think / should the per.
sons employed all seem so happy,
healthy, content and comfortable, that
I should enjoy seeing all the factories
of Philadelphia, think"
When we got fairly back In the car
riage and the robe over our legs, my
wealthy and impressive friend said:
We have $4,000 of these factories; we
have 240, 900 persons employed"
AS we drove home asked !" What is
your next greatest thing in Philadel-
phia ?"
"Our city hall and its contemplated
tower"
And your next greatest2'

I was silent and said no more all the

expedition through Georgia to the

his success depended. He was pre-
pared to fight, and would have fought

''Not bit of it. It's the fashion, and
people take it as they do mock turtle
soup. This musical enthusiasm has to
be cultivated. Now, I can stand it
seven nights in the week if I am left
back here with somebody to talk to,
but chain me down in one of those chairs
near the front for three consecutive
symphony nights and I'd be worth a
whole ward OF the county insane
asylum. believe that eight-tenths of
this musical taste is affected. It's a
nice place to come to; the ladies like it
bless their dear hearts, they can edu-
cate themselves to liking all kinds of
bete-noires, as they clearly demonstrate
when they love US. Young fellows come
here to talk with their sweethearts and
old fellows come here to see the girls,
too, but if Thomas thinks that his pei

scherzos, obligatos and the rest of the
blank verse series go down like straw

songs without words, selections from
light operas, or ballroom melodies, or
even popular church hymns, played by
Thomas and his fifty men, would, I'll
wager, pack this house every night in
the week. Tn nothing of an enthusiast
in Christian doctrine, but, bless my

the destruction effected by runaway
locomotive at Lowell, Mass, on the Bos-

The first obstacle encountered was the

through this wall it traversed the length
of the e. s. & G. express Office, and
