/ was all broken up. Instead of be-
ing recuperated by the travelling was
sick in body and mind from hard work
and disappointment. We were prom
ised settlement in full, and instructed
to call at a certain place in New York
for our statements. After charging
me for many things I had never heard
of, and over 500 for bus hire, they
figured that there were a few dollars
coming to me. 1 called couple of
times, but never got it. The Jersey
man found himself in debt to the man
ager, and I'm afraid he never paid
up.
"But hard as it was on us, it was
worse for the poor girls. Many of
them, allured by the tempting salary,
gave up their places in churches and
left happy homes and mothers, some
through poverty, others through am
bition. 1t was a hard situation for
innocent girls Their slender ward
robes were soon worn out, and they
had no money to purchase more, and
when the winter set in, while the men
could keep themselves warm in the
bar or hotel Office, they had often to
stay in bed all day, as they had not

Shoddy at Long Branch.

The most quiet people at Long
Branch are those who have goodposi-
tions at home and who have gone
there for the purpose of seeking a rest.
The most eXuberant and notorlously
conspicuous are those who are OBJ
scure in their own homes. They make
up for this obscurity by becoming
what they consider the stars of the
life at this place. Many are the ex.
pedients employed by these people to
attract attention and achieve the
notoriety so desired by them in their
brief careers. Not over half OF the
elegant equipages seen on ocean
avenue during an afternoon are owned
by the people driving them. They are
sent down from New York, and hired
by the week or the month or the sea-
son by dealers who make a speciality
of furnishing showy and aristocratlc
outfits for hire. Liveried coachmen
and footmen are also furnished by
these same dealers. This explains IN
many instances the incongruity be-
tween the persons who are driven and
the persons who drive. The equlpages
are nearly always correct in style and
taste, and the liveries are of the best
cut and make. The coachmen and
footmen often look like younger sons
of English peers. The people who hire
these outfits are not remarkable for
their taste in dress or for their refined
appearance. If they are remarkable
at all it is for the very opposite.-New
York World.

Cattle growers of the west are MAX
ing great preparations for the meeting
of the National Cattle growers con-
vention which is to be held at St.
Louis, November 23d. The meeting
last year at the same place was large
ly attended, and matters of much i'm
portance to cattle men were discussed.
Measures were taken for the detection
and punishment of cattle thieves, the
settlement of disputes and conflicting
claims, etc. One topic uppermost last
year was the proposition to establish
a great cattle trail through certain
states and territories. The project
did not meet with much success, and
the matter will hardly be Urged this
year. 1t was found that neither con-
gress nor the states interested would
confer the grant required. Chicago
has also a cattle convention on the
10th of October, which in some re-
spects is a rival of the st. Louis meet
ing. Chicago is not content that all
the cattle talk shall be in the south
western city.

Katie than with the -coquette Maud
Anthony Some said twas his wife;
perhaps he had married in a foreign
land. Some said no; Mrs. Lee had
said only to-day that Wilkes was
coming home unmarried.
And SO, while all wondered, no one
knew. Katie's wandering little heart
sank still lower as she saw what care
and attention the young man be-
slowed upon his companion. Twas
well her face was concealed beneath
the simple milk-maid's dress; other
cared for him.
And, think you, this verdict would
have been wrong? I very much sur.
mise it would not.
The mask seemed not to have any
lady beside him. And lower and low
er sank Katie's poor little heart as
the evening wore on, and still Wilkes
from among the crowd. At last, when
she could constrain herself no longer,
she quietly slipped away from the
throng and went out into the moonllt
garden and wept alone in q seat un-
A long time she sat thus, when, with
the thought that she would be missed,
she started up.
A hand was laid gently on her arm.
"Stay moment, Katie. want to
speak with you moment"
Twas Wilkes Lees voice, and Katie
struggled to get from the grasp that
detained her.
"Katie, heard what you said that
day under the elms; did you mean
it?''
His warm breath touched her face.
mo, Wilkes, I did not, I was pro
voked," came faltering hesitatingly,
from Katie's rosy lips. What if, after
all, he had been true to her? She
could not help thinking of it.
'tAnd you love mestill?''
'I have always loved you, Wilkes" J"
"When you own up that you are de-
feated, Katie?"
"But what of that lady who is with
you? She is your"
"Mother, my darling; andyou areto
be my wife?"
Suffice to say few days after there
was a wedding somewhere, and some
one, which means Katie, was married
to some one, which means Wilkes Lee,
the one who SO unwillrngly became
once a participator in Katie's defeat.

Improving On His Wife's Method.
Buffalo Courier.

Buffalo Courier.
There is in this city a young Bene-
dict who is so fortunate as to be we'd
ded to a lady of rare beauty and at
tractiveness. Now this young Benedict
had in all respects proved a model hus-
band and had acquitted himself so
faithfully on all occasions that his
wife had confidence in him, and will
lingly intrusted the most sacred
and important duties to his charge.
So fully, indeed. did she trust
him that on Wednesday last she
started for the country to have q
weeks visit with a friend, and the last
words to him before starting having
consigned the baby to the tender ,mer-
cies of the nurse-were: George,
promise to take good care OF Fido.
Don't let him over-eat himself, and
above all, battle him regularly. You'll
find the bath tub in the parlor the
towels are in the linen press and his
comb and brushes are in the left hand
corner of my right hand bureau draw
er, and the cologne is on the shelf above.
And be sure when you're finished to
wrap him in his blanket and put him
in the sunshine to dry, and if he &C
catches cold telegraph me-" Sosaying
she printed one last impassioned
kiss on Fido's nose, tearfully
delivered him to her husbands arms,
stepped into the carriage and was gone.
On Thursday and Friday George i'm
plicitly carried out the parting instruc-
lions of his absent wife. He bathed
Fido, cologned Fido, brushed, combed
and dried Fido. But Yesterday morn
ing when the scribe passed by their
residence he heard wild yelpings and
ki-yi-ings proceeding from the yard.
Stepping up to the fence he looked
over and saw an unusually fat pug,
now tumbling on the ground, now
turning somersaults in the air and
frantically yelping the while. Some
few yards off stood George with his
+ hands in his pockets and a. smile OF
sweet contentment on his face. He
was bathing Fido. He had chained
him to a post and turned the hose
upon him.

The grand jury at st. Paul indicted

dangerous business hereafter for a
time at least. Nobody believes, how
ever, that the vice will be exterminat-

that. Various forms of lotteries, pool

When the Canadian government
crushed Riel's rebellion the wives and
children of the unfortunate rebels were
left in a pitiable condition. Their
houses were burned and their proper
ty taken from them. They are now
obliged to shelter themselves in rude
huts, open to every wind. They are
almost naked in the day time, and
without covering at night. The only
food they have is nuts, and the gov
ernment agents refuse to give them
provisions.

The results Of the late election in
France is a surprise to Americans,
who do not exactly understand its
import. Here is a brief statement of
the attitude of the various political
parties. The Conservatives, who have
made extensive gains are the Monarch
lists of one faction or another Some
of them are adherents of Comte de
Paris, others of the Bonaparte family.
The Republicans or Moderates, are the
supporters of the present ministry,
with Brisson and De Freycinet as the
representative leaders They are like
wise partisans of M. jules Ferry, forls-
erly prime minister. The Radicals
look to Clemenceau as their leader.
They are as eager as the Monarchists
for the overthrow of the Republicans,
but only that they may give thegov-
ernment more radical Ieanings. The
Republicans wish to maintain a more
parliamentary form of government,
but the Radicals wish to abolish the
senate and substitute in place of the
chambers, as at present constituted,
some body like the old convention of
1878. Theloss of seats by the Repub-
licans will lead to reconstruction, of
fba ar,.~~--A -. -

Current Paragraphs.

Several writer's have lately celebra-
ted abstinence as cureall One of
them quotes the old Russian General
Suvaroff as maintaining that hunger
is the best treatment for every human
disease; and Rulty, an English Quaker
physician, records in his diary, "1775,

pas5 of bread and water, sovereign
cure for Indigestion, and no danger of
a debauch."
General Judson Fitzpatrick used to
tell the story that after his appoint
ment as Minister to Chill he was met
by an old lady who had known him
| from childhood, and to whose bucolic
mind the gallant Generals large way
ofstating things had sometimes seemed
like exaggeration. "Wall, Jud," she
said, II hear you have been called to

In the northern part of Nebraska
an Irish colony, called Jackson, has
been settled for 20 years, six of the
colonists of which are worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 each. They were
very poor when they arrived there,
and were so discouraged by the DESC
late appearance of the prairie and the
loneliness and desolation, which af-
fected them so much that if they had
the money they would have left. For
tunately they had not. They had
come up by steamers from the South
ern States, where they had been dig
ging bitches.
AS the morganatic young prince
Henry of Battenberg has been turned
into a ''Royal Highness" because he
married the queens youngest daugh-
ter, says London Truth, there are to
be found many people so foolish as to
ask why similar honor was not con-
ferred on the Marquis of Lorne, who
married her maiesty's youngest daugh-
ter but one. The answer to me seems
simple. Lord Lorne is an Englishman.
Prince Henry is a German. Referring
to Lord Lorne, in the Court Circular
his name is not allowed to appear with
that of his wife, Princess Louise, but
is put down as the last on the long
list OF guests, being made to give the
pas to the count and countess of Err
bach-Schoenberg.
When General Sherman was at Sara
toga recently newspaper correspond
ent had the thoughtfulness to remind
him that the period of his soiourn ION
this shoal and bank of time" was linn
tied and delicately observed: ~ know
you won't want so much ostenatation
at your funeral as this one" (referring
to that of General Grant). Heanswer-
ed with a plump, round "No!" and
added: "I want to make all thenoise
while am alive" Then he went on
to say "My grave is bought and
paid for. 1 shall be buried at St.
Louis, where my children are buried.
When 1 go they can put me in there
and drive stake in to mark the
spot" These sentiments of the old
hero were perfectly characteristic of
him, and yet there is nothing more
certain than that his own obsequies
willnot be the simple affair he describes.
There are those who think that in
military genius he is the peer OF Grant.
and the stake by which his country
marks his last resting place will be O.
very different sort of stake from that
he refers to.
