G. p. Huntington's Butter.

Coils p. Huntington, the railway
maonate, years ago kept q general
store in Sacramento. One day a trad
er came in from a mining camp to buy
stores, and among other things he
wanted butter. Huntington had sever
al tubs brought from Orange county,
the famous butter-producing region of
New York. The miners had all the
good things that money would buy, and
the storekeeper from the mining camp
was bound to take back the best lie
could find.
II want some bang-up butter" vas
the way the s%torekeeper from the camp
signified his desire.
''Well," said Huntington, ''here is
some all the way from New York state,
the real genuine Orange county arti-
Gle Huntington a the trier down
to the bottom Of the tub, and the store
keeper ran his nose along it when it
was pulled out.
whats the tax on hat grease?'' he
asked.
Chats So cents a pound" replied
Huntington.
"Hain't you got something a leetle
better?" asked the storekeeper.
Yes" said Huntington, going to
another tub of the very same kind of
butter. He knew the storekeeper
would not be satisfied if he did not
show something better, and he was
equal to the occasion. "Here's some
for so cents" said Huntington, as he
drew the trier out and the s~torekeep-
er's nose followed it from one end to
the other.
"Now, that's a little like it." said the
%storekeeper, "but," he added with a
wink, ''come now, hain't you got some
thing hat the flies won't settle on,
that's fur-lined and h%air-topped?
There's nothing too good for us, and
we've got the dust to pay for it,"
Yes" again said Huntington.
Here's something that we don't often
bring OUT The trier went down into
the third tub OF the same lot, and the
storekeeper's nose followed the line OF
butter for the third time.
How much is she assessed at?''
asked the storekeeper, as he looked af-
fectionately on the butter

The London Ragamumn.

One afternoon, attracted by the sin
gularly refined face Of a tlower-girl
passing in the Strand, / went up to
her. bought some OF her flowers, and
asked her to come and sit TO me, eX-
planning that | wished to take her
likeness" She said rather conde-
scendingly, that as her business-time
was chiefly OF an evening when the
theatres were open, she would consent
to do so. The next morning, an hour
after the appointed time, my flower
Girl appeared. She looked nonchal-
antlv about her; then, seeing a large
mirror, stood some time before it in ST.
lence, gazing lovingly at herself, and
al length exclaimed: "Well, it is a
rare chance to see ones self like thisl''
and turned her small antique head
from side to side, bridling and pea
cooking with infinite grace. She was
shy and vet defiant. Her clothes hung
closely and yet loosely round her grace
full form, showing the deficiency Of I'M
derclotning. Her head was bare; her
beautiful, rusty hair in rich %profusion
gathered up in a careless knot. When
the cold wind blew, she drew her rag
ged shawl over her head. Her ignor-
ance, her knowledge, her audacity
were fairly b%ewildering. She seemed
to have no affections, no ambition.
Sometimes she would laugh, as if born
10 do nothing else, but with a melan-
choly look in her eyes. This young
forsaken thing lives alone in a room
she paid for BY the week. She likes
to stay in bed till ten or eleven in the
morning, though on market days it
was necessary to be at Covent Garden
very early to buy flowers. These she
arranged rs tastefuljy as possible with
wire, leaves and fern, placing them in
a light flat basket filed with moss,
which is usually carried tilted on the
palm of the hand. In the afternoon
She took up her stand at the entrance
to some restaurant in the Strand, or
by the approaches to ChariEg Cross
station. As soon as the theatres open
cd she lowered about the entrances,
but on wet nights no one would linger
10 buy ''button holes. People only
thought of hurryiug into or away from
the theatres, so the unsold flowers had
to be carried home ami kept fresh if
possible, to be palmed oil, when they
seemed withered, in dark Of
the street, not too near the street
lamps" The girl could read, She
said. but didn't hold to books"
Ladies never gave her anything she
cared to read; it was always ''goody
rubbish they wouldn't so much as look
at themselves. She used sometimes
otfpud a CpNviOu rlqSg. where ladies'
came to read aloud twice n week, ''but
il was heavy reading" Ouce an old
gentleman .'prcacbed'' about scarlet
fever, and what poor people should do;
''but there wasn't much sense ia what
he said" was her only comment.
One of the. greatest pleasures she
confessed was looking in at shop win
dows, especially the jewelers. shops in
the Strand. Lockets, bracelets, and

one would suppose that the virtue and
patriotism of the country We're embodied
in the dollarless patriot who wants to
vote, but does not want to pay the poll
tax, which goes to educate his free
schooled children.
On the question of right there is moth
ing to be said against the imposition of a
poll tax as prerequisite of voting. On
the question of expediency it may be said,
and perhaps truly said, that men who
will not pay dollar poll tax had better
not vote, and that it puts them into a
position of being willing that their tax
should be paid for them, and conse-
quent obligation to vote in accordance
with the direction of those who pay his
poll tax for him.
In Philadelphia, where there IS q
large number OF colored voters, it is said
that money is regularly contributed by
the Republican Committee to pay the
poll tax of those voters who are not will
