Albert Delpit, in the San Francis
co "Ingleside," relates this anecdote
of General GaliG'et: "On one occa-
sion was to dine with him at the
house Of Madame Edmond Adam,
who is the editor of the "Novellc
revue" and who has one of the most
fashionable salons in Paris. Gener-
al Gailiffct was late. He arrived
finally at 7.45, and advanced toward
the hostess, who was standing near
the mantelpiece, Madam Adam
wore a beautiful dress of black vel
vet, with very decollete corsage,
above which her brunette beauty
shone like a marble OF Pradier.
GailifTet advanced, bowed, and said
with admiration: 'Sapristl Those
beautiful shoulders = And then, in
too stiff and soldierly Il manner,
perhaps, he bent over and lightly
printed a kiss on her right shoulder
Madam Edmond Adam grew rosy
with indignation and slapped the
generals face. This did not trouble
him in the least, He bowed again
with a gesture OF admirable faulty,
said since / know the pricer and
kissed the other shoulder.

Lured By The Sea.


DIVER DESCRIBES THE STRANGE FASClNA-
TIoN OF THE OCEANS BED.
81 have been a submarine diver for
twenty-five years." said George w.
Townsend, "and in that time have
touched bottom in almost all quarters
of the world"
"You haveno doubt seen many strange
sights" was remarked.
81 have, indeed" said the diver. 81
think the most interesting part of u div
er's work is to watch the movements and
habits of the fishes. They will seldom
if ever attack man in armor. Sharks
are especially cowardly. If you sidle off
as if afraid, they will follow you up and
perhaps give you trouble; but if you act
boldly they viii flee from you.
at is remarkable how nearly like
human beings fish are when in their own
element. Some appear highly intelligent
and some stupid. Their eyes are won
perful, they are, for the most part, SO full
of intelligence. Occurrences are con-
stantly happening which are either
startling or ludicious. In 1871 was at
work on the old Spanish frigate San Ped
ro sunk in 1872 in the bay of Cumi ma on
the Spanish main. She was said to have
carried n million dollars in doubloons,
which was to be used in paying the sol
der, She took fire in the bay, blew up
and sunk. We worked on her for eight
months. We saw great numbers of fish
here. The jewish, especially, paid us
great attention. They were eight to ten
feet long, and they would come up and
look us squarcly in the face with their
great eyes. They never offered to harm
us and we always gave them all the room
they wanted The smaller fish would
swim all around us and seemed to be in
the least timid"
"Did you find the doubloons?'
"Not one. We found considerable
money, but it was all in Spanish dollars.
We found Il few brass cannon and some
boxes, which the description of those in
which the gold was said TO have been
packed, but they contained bars of lead.
Our theory was that vessel had been
robbed and then set on fire and blown
up to conceal the crime.
81 think that the corals present the
most beautiful sight which greets the eye
of the diver. Coral for the most part is
found in clear water, which makes il
seem the more beautiful. l once went
down near the silver reef in thu West
Indies II is Of solid coral and about
fifty miles in extent. The coral and
grows from the bottom like greet trees
the trunk being sometimes four or five
feet in diameter The boughs, branches
and twigs exactly correspond in form t.
those Of a tree, but in the clear water ar,
da2zlingly white. \ forest of coral un
der water is very beautiful. Despite it
many dangers the life of a diver is yer,
fascinating, and suppose ! shall Away
continue in it,"

He laid his hand upon her lips.
Elsie, if-when you are well and
strong again, there is surely nothing
to stand between us2 | do not UNI
derstand the past--I will not seek
to understand it, But your future
is all mine?
She smiled, family. My future is
Deaths and God, she answered.
And-Guy, let it comfort you-thgt
which stood between us in the long
ago, still stands there. All, thank
Heaven for me, that / am spared
that fercest struggle between right
and love.
There was long pause then. He
had moved her pillows, and now
supported her easily, gently, on his
arm. Her eyes were lifted up to
him. But he could not meet them
firmly, and his lowered till they
rested ON the fragile, tapering fingers
folded peacefully upon her bosom.
How long the time passed thus, he
never knew. He was first reused by
gasp-a sigh, he thought it.
What is it, love? He asked, and
lifted his gaze slowly.
The eyes still fixed upon his face
were no longer luminous. Rather,
it seemed as if one looked into the
misty, dim, gray twilight gathering
without, in the shadow of the wood.
All, is it your she said. l
thought L had been dreaming. Are
you near me, Guy? Every syllable
was slow and difficult-more a
breathing than an utterance.
He strove to smile. You must be
dreaming. 1 have you fast, my dar-
ling,
And-you will not-leave me?
Never.
"But / do not see you-so dark
Nay, not dark. Twilight is clos
ing down in the valley, but here the
sunset fingers still. Your eyes are
dim with slumber, Elsie. Shut them
thus. When they open again,
they shall open upon Guy.
Upon Guy-The breath died
drowsily away. The lids which he
had sealed with kisses remained
sealed forever. And the day died
the twilight pail fell round,
And still Guy Hesketh never
moved for a slow hour, save tc
check with sudden and imperiou'
gesture the rustic wherewith anoth
er anxious watcher stole into The
room, and sat down in the window
motionless, with hopeful smiles
awaiting till the heavy lids should
lift.

THE HEIGHT OF FASHION

The other day, one Bloomington
lady met another on the street, and
at once fell to admiring the dress
she wore. The admirer was one of
extreme fashion, while the admired
was q plain, sensible little lady, who
was no less practicle in dress than
in conversation.
ooh, my !" exclaimed the adj
mirer "What beautiful goods that
dress is made of! 1t looks just like
the loveliest kind of seer-sucker
goods, but it amt, is it2"
"No," the little woman replied.
at is not seer-sucker."
"Oh, how delightfully."- those irreg-
ular little spots blend into stripes!
My ! Amt it pretty, though ?"
81 think it is anything but pretty
my dear"
'You do? Why it is just too love
ly for anything! Why in the world
do you think it is not pretty, my
love ?"
ooh, because it looks drabbled
and slouchy to me"
"My! / wish l had one like it,
Where can I get the goods, my
love ?"
"You can get goods like this at
any of the stores, but the figures will
not be on it. You will have to pro.
duce them yourself"
"Produce them myself! Why
how can | do that?n
"Well, just 90 around to some
dry-goods establishment and buy
enough cheap, plain blue prints t.
make you dress, then make it VI
and do as l did"
"How did you do?"
".Why, my dear; it is the simples
thing in the world. Just put it Oh
and stand in the rain until it fade
out wherever it gets wet"

Striped hose are coming i'll vogue again.
Sporting styles still prevail in bracelet
designs,
Silver braid will be put on spring cash
meres lavishly.
They say the real spring hats will be
extremely bold in shape.
High hair and high shoulders arc
equally in high style.
Fashion writers notice that the bang is
cropping out again.
There are various odd red tints among
spring bonnets.
Gold-beaded white lace is a new extrav-
agance.
Red and black borders are on recent
handkerchiefs.
Very little jewelry is the regime now
for bon ton gents.
Glace kid gloves are once more the
shine.
The combination of blue and red still
remain in favor.
Coquettish aprons are made of large
sized silk handkerchiefs in gay colors.
It is predicted that round hats will en-
tirely supersede bonnets in the spring.
Plated skirts are very fashionable for
girls, especially when made of plaid.
Worn with a short apron oyerskirt and
jersey they are stylish.
Combination shades, as green shot

The preponderance of green in millin

thistles are among the favorite devices
for the coming bonnet.
There is an effort to revive the plair
round skirts with strait breadths, but i
is not likely that the change will be

and wrists, are worn ruchings of tulle
crepe, of colored etalnine, speckled wit
chenille, of silk, of gold and silver gaus
Moreover, the colored silk and lis

AYER's EARsAPARILLA has demonstrated its
power Of cure for all diseases Of the blood.
The Harpooner's Story.
.Met0 Bedford, Jlne I, I86.


Net0 Bedford, June I, 1883.
DIR. j. G. AVER Sc Co.-Twenty years ago
was a harpooner in the North Pacific, when five
others Of the crew and myself were laid up with
scurvy. Our bodies were bloated, gums swollen
and bleeding, teeth loose, purple blotches all
over us, and our breath seemed rotten. Take IL
by and large we were pretty badly of. All our
me-juice was accidentally destroyed, but the
captain had a couple dozen bottles of AYERS
SARsAPARMLA and gave Us that. We recov-
cred on it quicker than have ever seen men
brought about by any other treatmentfor Scurvy,
and I've seen good deal Oft. Seeing no men
ton in your Almanac Of your Sarsaparilla being
good for scurvy, 1 thought you ought to know Of
this, and so send you the facts.
Respectfully yours, RALPH Y. WINGATE'
The Troopers Experience.
Kdsren, BasHtoIGnd( s.. Africa, March,, 1883.
Dr.. j. @. AVER & Co.-Gentlemen: Ihave
much pleasure to testify to the great value Of
your Sarsaparilla. We have been stationed
here for over two years, during which time We
had to live in tents. Being under canvas for
such q time brought on what is called in this
country "Veldt-sores." / had those sores for
some time. was advised to take your Sarsa-
rarflla, two bottles of which made my sores
disappear rapidly, and am now quite well.
