A Queer Prescription,

Gen. Hunts father was one of the
homeliest men in Washington, says a
writer in the Pttsburg Times He was
a physician. After he had practiced
his profession for time he married a
Miss Ringold, one of the handsomest
young ladies in all of Maryland. This
story of the marriage has been told me
by an old Washingtonian: "One time
| was visiting Gen. Jackson's family
when he was an occupant of the white
house. During my stay ! was taken
seriously i'll, and the general called on
Dr. Hunt to attend me. When he
came into my room, where | was con-
fined to my bed, President Jackson
came with him. The two thought |
was asleep, and not wishing to disturb
me, they sat before the fire and began
conversation. | heard the general
say: Hunt, how did YOU ever happen
to marry Miss Ringold9' "
: III tell you, said the physician.
When she was attending boardin g
school her eyes were injured and she
was blinded. was called to prescribe
for her. For some time | kept her
eyes bandaged, and she finally recov-
cred her sight, but she did not see me.
About a year afterward we CHANGED to
be together at a reception. She knew
that had previously attended her, and
that evening she came to me, COM
planned OF suffering from severe cold,
and asked me to prescribe. | took
from my pocket a blank prescription
and wrote: DIR. Hunt; to be taken
Immediately.
She read it, and looked up laugh
ingly.
".It's bitter pill, doctor, she said,
and must be well gilded if | take it.
g Our engagement followed, and
soon after our marriage occurred.
didn't have much gold to gid the
medicine, but managed to make
enough to keep her from starving. +"

A Tsoyal Game.

Tennis has been a royal game; SO
SO very royal that Edward Ill. Q365)
decided that no one but kings and
their associates should be allowed to
PLAY ii all, and his example was fol-
lowed by Henry w., Henry VIII, and
other reigning soyereigns of England
and France 1t kept gaining in popu-
iarity, however, and some sort of out
door tennis was played with inflated
balls very early in the history of the
game.
Every little while the royal COM
mands would be forgotten. or some
convenient war would break out, and,
after it was over. tennis would bob
up serenely,' as a very popular amuse-
ment. Henry VIII had the tennis
fever in violent form, and the most
famous royal set ever played was that
in which Henry VIII. of England and
the Emperor Charles v. were matched
against the Prince Of Orange and the
Marquis Of Biandenburg, while the
Earl Of Devonshire stopped Chat is.
picked up balls and kept COUNTY for
one side and Lord Edmund Howard
did a like service for the other side.
At last, the kings gave up the vain
attempt to keep so capital game to
themselves, and graciously vouch-
safcd it to their loyal subjects, simply
because they could no longer prevent
their playing. OF course, there still re-
manned the difficulties arising from the
great costliness of regular courts. but
these could not interfere with out-of-
door tennis. This was, however, a
very unscientific sport, and was, of
course, despised by the gentry who
could afford to play the court game.
In fact, it was not until very few
years ago that the play-loving English
public awoke to the fact that some one
had reduced out-of-door tennis to a.
science; that something very like court
tennis could be played on the lawn,
under the blue sky; and that spent-
house roofs and galleries, ratings,
tambours, chases, and the rest were
relics of the dark ages Charles Il.

inexpensive Beauty.

The new styles OF architecture and
house decoration are friends of short
purse rs well Us long one. 1t has not
been many years since the house had
to be finished in u certain kind of
grand style or it was mere nonentity.
A great change has come, an6pow a
house may be built with few thou
sand dollars that will be as beautiful,
as good, rs the reasonable heart can
wish. Beauty has at last escaped the
service of the rich, and has entered iu-
20 kind OF conspiracy for the purpose
of making cottage surpass palace.
While many are stu suffering from the
absence Of employment, or else from
poor pay for hard work, yet the planet
has become little weary of turning
over into day and night and summer
and winter for the sake of the rich
alone, and it seems to say: sit is time
for tine millions to have chance A
new dwelling house comes. with its
cheap gables, with its shingled bands,
its little sprinkle of stained glass, its
red, yellow, and dark green colors,
with its pine finish, with its carpetless
floors, with its tinted walls, and behold
nothing in the world is more pleasing
or better adapted to the wants of
father, mother, and child.
The color art has come in to the aid
OF the common pocketbook. When
beauty lay in marble or stone or brick
or heavy columns or imported woods
the ordinary money purse gave up
hope, butrecently came the color art to
rival carver and sculptor and the gold
smith; and color being IN inexpensive
form Of beauty. it has set up the COM
mon man above his old humble eondi-
ton. No dealer in stucco or in costly
fresto can much surpass a wall finished
in terra-eotta paper relieved by L broad
band in blue. The common calcimines
and wall papers have gotten the old
high style artists into u corner and
seem to say to them: Beat Us if you
can. F" 1t was the age of kings and
aristoerats which set going the idea
that beauty is expensive. The age of
democracy is finding out many OF the
cheats of the past. Each child that
came in from the woods with arms full
Of flowers ought to have made US sus-
poet long ago that Gods beauty is to
be found without much money and
much price We ought long ago to
have discontinued taxing lessons Of
kings and to have gone to that Nature
which can make lily surpass Il Solo
mon. - The Current.

a FATHERS TASTY Promise.

A cent seems little value. tut if it
is only doubled few times it grows TO
a marvellous sum. A young lady in
Portland caught her father in rash
promise by knowledge OF this fact on
her part She modestly proposed that
if her father would only give her one
cent on one day and double the amount
on each successive day for just one
month, she would pledge herself never
TO ask of him another cent of money as
long as she lived. Not stopping to run
over the figures iii his head, and not
supposing it would amount to large
SUM, he was glad to accept the offer
ut once, thinking it also favorable
opportunity to include possible mar
rlape dowrv in tBe future. On the
twenty-fifth day he became greatly
alarmed lest if he complied with his
own acceptance be might be obliged to
be declared 4 bankrupt on his own
petition" But on the thirtieth day
this young lady demanded only the
pretty little sum of 50, sos, 700. L. The
astonished merchant was only too hap
py to cancel the claim by advancing a
handsome cash payment for his folly
in allowing himself to give a boud-for
his word he considered as good as his
bond-without noticing the considera-
ton therein expressed, and by promis-
ing to return to the old custom Of adj
yancing smaller sums daily until other
wise ordered.

Rate of Increase Of Negro Pupula-
tion.

Rate of Increase Of Negro Pupula-
ton.
Such being the history of the negroes
in dntc-6e5i3pl days, when they were
property, and when every consideration
Of self-iuterest prompted their owners
to watch over their health. to encour-
age child bearing. and to protect and
preserve the children, is it to be sup
posed for moment that this careless,
improvident. ignorant race, thrown
suddenly upon its own resources, should
at once, or within generation, take on
a rate Of increase more rapid than be-
fore emancipation? The wonder is,
that in the past twenty years they have
not fallen further behind.
Considering the colore,l race in this
country as a whole. it is seen that it
has not held its own, either in a state
of slavery or thus far in freedom. 1t is
but another illustration of the fact,
that an inferior race can not thrive
side by side with 4 superior one. Ii
would seem, therefore, under the cir
cumstances, more profitable to study
ways and means for preserving and
strengthening the manual labor ele-
ment of the South. rather than to de-
bate the methods of getting rid of it,

A new counterfeiting scheme came to
light the other day. A man giving the
name of Lucius White went to Angus
tus, Cast & Co., of St. Louis, and or
dered three thousand labels for cigar
boxes. The design given was national
treasury note of Brazil. The firm
thinking something wrong, notified
government officials. Under instruc-
tions they completed the order and were
to deliver the labels certain day at the
Mosier hotel. White was arrested that
day and close watch has been kept on

the charge, but the evidence is strong
enough to convict. If he had succeeded

Considerable excitement was caused
along the river StLawrence last Thurs
day afternoon, when report was re-
ceived that Gen. and Mrs. John A. Lo-
gan, and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. b. Marsh.
of New York, had been capsized in
boat and drowned. The report proved
to be untrue, although there was con-
siderable foundation for it, That after
noon Mr.. Marsh gave private excur-
sion in honor of his guests. The party
numbered about thirty and were con-
veyed to Staye Island, where picnic
dinner was served. During the day
photographer, Who was taking views of
the scenery along the banks of the river,
happened along, and the party arranged
for group. In order to give promin-
ence, the distinguished guests were
placed in boat just of the island. As
the proof was about to be made the boat
overturned and the occupants were
thrown in the river. They, however,
with some assistance, were rescued with
little difficulty.

Chicago Times: Chicago has only
eight murderers in the Jail. This may
be regarded as the low-water mark of
Chicago criminalty, or else that the
number does not represent the average
volume of assassination. There seems
TO be a killing of at least two people
per week in this city; in fact, the people
here who are destined to be killed are
in excellent luck when Saturday and
Sunday night goes by without les
senlng of their number by more than
two; hence, it is to be inferred that
there are more murderers outside than
within the walls of the county Jail.
These facts should be stated for the
benefit Of outside towns which may be
be inclined to fancy that, because we
have only eight murderers in confine-
ment, Chicago is not the great, enter
prising city that it claims to be.
