Frank Furman, one of my midshipmen. OF
course, you can accept him or not, as you
choose. The other day he came to me-his

in much trouble, and told me that he loved
you, but said he could not overcome his bash.

Rosy red became the cheeks of Fan
ny Burton. With smile of happiness
lighting her face, she passed the note tc
her father, and whispered in his ear:
Tell him l accept the valentine,
papa
And then away she went, covered
with bushes running out of the room.
Her father read the letter without
surprise, for his old friend, Captain
Grimwell, had previously confded tc
him this little scheme of his for bring
ing the young people together.
MY daughter accepts the valentine, .

He now confessed that although the
letter had been given to him by his
Captain on the night before, to be de-
livered early this morning, he had been
unable to resist the temptation to hover
about the vicinity of the home
of the girl he. liked SO well, hours
before it was time to give her the mis-

circumstance that he had detected the
flames shining through the window
near Fanny's form in season to effect
her rescue from a terrible death in the
burning room, as shown.
From the moment Frank learned that
Fanny accepted him for her valentine

asked the pretty damsel to be his wife
and was accepted.

A VOLTS Puppies.

A prairie wolf with three frolick-
some, interesting little cubs yesterday
attracted much attention ut the zoolog-
ical garden. The little fellows frisked
and gamboled about the roomy cage
which the family occupy in very much
the manner of puppies. and tender
hearted young lady who gazed at them
silently for some moments turned to
her escort and remarked. us it not q
shame to put those little puppies in the
same cage with a wolf?"
.'They are wolves" said the young
gentleman confidently. "but all cubs
look that way until they are grown"
"fhey are very cunning little cubs,
said Supp. Brown, in quizzical tone,
land l will tell you something about
them. Some time ago the mother was
sent from the west to student at tho
Academy of Fine Arts in this city: Aft
er using her for model he gave her
to US. She was kept in roomy box in
Il stable while in his charge. Since her
arrival here she gave birth to three
cubs. and she displays much affection
for them, although it is bscoming more
apparent every day that they are pret=
ty much Newfoundland puppies"
The three little cubs are very fat
and look like little balls covered with
brown wool. Instead of the wolf head
OF the mother they have the heavy,
broad features of u species Of the New
foundland dog. The bushy tail of the
wolf has become more slender ap-
pendage and the graceful legs, made
1or swift running, have the heavy
characteristics of the water-dog parent.
ri am afraid the mother will be much
disappointed in them when they grow
up" said the superintendent. -Phita-

PILESl PiLESlII

A sure cure for Blind, Bleeding,
Itching, and liberated Piles, has been
discovered by DIR. William, ian Indian
remedy )called DIR. WILLIAMS INDIAN
OINTMENT. A single box has cured
the worst chronic cases of twenty-five
years standing. No one need suffer
five minutes after applying this Won
derful soothing medicine. Lotions and
instruments do more harm than good
Williams Ointment absorbs the tu-
nors, allays the intense itching, (par-
ticularly at night after getting warm
in bed,) acts. as a poultice, gives in
slant and painless relief, and is pre-
pared only for Piles, itching of the
private parts, and for nothing else.

Between Deals.

Colonel E. Wolfe, of Indiana, told an
amusing incident that had occurred
between himself and General Hatch
the day preceding. The last time the
pair had met was in Tennessoc,-aear
Memphis, at the early part of tho war,
Hatch was in the regular service and
Wolfe a volunteer officer. On the night
in question some movements were in
operation, and orders were coming in
thick and fast. To while away the
tedium OF the time the two officers sat
down to game of poker in a log cab
in which they occupied rs hcadquar-
ters. The play was interrupted by the
arrival of frequent orderlics, which
were promptly attended TO. and then
the game proceeded. After while,
however, orierlies began to come in ut
both doors, and the situation grew crit
ical. Major Hatch started 10 his feet
with the exclam alton: wolfe. this
thing is getting too hot, Mind, it's
your deal!" and leaving cards and
stakes on the table he hurried from the
hovcl and mounted his horse. On
Friday last the. narrator of the story
entered the Brcttum House. in Win
field. and handing his gripsaok to the
clerk awaited the movements of Il gray
headed gentleman in order to place his
autograph on the register. The former
having entered his name, handed his
pen to the ln.iianian; their eyes met
and recognition WAS mutual. Hello,
HATCH" said the ex-voluntecr officer,
''who would have thought of seeing
You hcrcr' A twinkle came to the
eyes Of tho veteran addrn 'sed, and on
tending his hand he dryly remarked:
''Wolfe. it's your deal!' A quarter of
a century had elapsed since that un-
finished game of poker, and since tnat
night in the negro quarters till the ac-
cidental meeting in the hotel 1T Win
field they had not seen each other. -

The Marchioness of Lorne. has her
own occupations, is a passable artissS

Lady Hayter is the embodiment of
the genius of liberalism. She is one of
the best dressed women in London
and gifted with all the graces of born
hostess.
Lady Salisbury is placed at the head
of those feminine lead rs who have at
tempted 10 create q salon, but hers is

Lady Wordsworth has one of the
most eclectic salons in London. She
knows and has known everyone worth
knowing in London for half a century.
She has an Unborn aptitude for the Lon
don dinner party of from eight to
twelve persons.
Lady Lonsdale. who was recently
married again, might become. under
proper auspices. social center of real
political power. She has the gift of
receiving guests with grace. dignity
and ease. But her attention and inter-
est are difficult to fix and her persever-
ance is not equal to her natural ability.
Mrs. Napier Higgins is writing in

never committed real blunder, and

Queer Head-DreSSeS.

There are many graceful head.
dresses, but of them all none is so fam
tastically beautiful as that i'll vogue
among the Darnlcy Islanders, who live
on an island in Torres Straits, between
New Guinea and Australia, and are
not only ugly looking, but are more
than suspected of being cannibals.
On Darnley Island, it appears, there
is kind of very large and most beau
tiful butterfly called Papitio poSeidon.
1t is marked in brown, black, and
bright red colors, and measures seven
inches across the wings. This gor-
geous creature is captured by the island
ers bent on decoration; tough but
delicate vegetable fibre, in lieu of a
thread of cotton, is tied about its large
body, and the end of the fibre secured
in the mans hair. A half-dozen but
terflies will be tethered in this way to
the man, and as they soon become rec
onciled to captivity, their graceful
tlutterings about the unhandsomc head
of the man produce an effect difficult
to describe and hardly to be imagined.

Why She AppIauded.

Seated to the right of me at place

est was not aroused ill thin, discon-
solate-looking girl made her appear

furiously. AS l could observe no pos
sible occasion for such manifestations,
| felt surprised; but, as she kept up
the manifestation all the evening, and
seemed to have no assistance from
anv of the audience, l took a hand,
as they say, and also began applaud
ing the thin, misunderstanding girl.

good-nature often does, bitter fruit

Father Lana's Plan of an Air-Ship.

More than three centuries after the
time of Bacon, Father Lana wrote out
his idea of a vessel that might be made
to rise in the air Four hollow globes
of copper, each having a diameter of
about twenty-five feer, were to be care
fully exhausted and then attached to
car. Torricelli and Pascal had already
proved that the pressure of the atmos-
phere was nearly fifteen pounds per
SQUARE inch at sea-level, and Lana's
proposed method of eXhaustlng his
globes was to be an application OF Tor
ricelli's principle. Each globe was to
be filled with water and lifted 10 4
height of at least thirty-four feet. Be
meath it should be fitted a tube with
air-tight connections, which was to dip
into water. On opening this tube the
contents of the globe would be empticd
into the vessel below, leaving a Tor
ricellian vacuum above, while the tube
would become a water-barometer.
Lana seemed to know nothing about
the specific gravity of gases. His cop
! per globes were to be made very thin
in order to secure ightness, but he
failed to make any correct estimate of
the rigidity they must have to sustain
either the weight of the water they
should hold, or the crushing forcc of
the atmosphere after exhaustion. Un-
like the product of Bacon's imagina-
| ton, his conception was n correct ap-
plication of demonstrated physical
| laws; but had it been tested by expert
| ment, he would ut once have found
that there were other laws which he
had not taken into account. In his
view, the only obstacle to success was
that ''the Almighty would never allow
an invention to succeed by means of
which civil government could so easily
be disturbed" Air-ships floating be-
yond the reach of missiles, if only cap
able of being accurately directed, might
we'll have been thought more terrible
than dynamite is to-day.-ProteSSor w.

''Hens," says the Haverhill Bulletin,
'.are nothing more or less, so to speak,
than machines, and with good feed and
proper care can do their work with the
regularity of machinery" We en-
tircly agree with this view. In the
spring time, for instance. they can go
through flower or vegetable Id IN
such a manner as to leave the impress
sion that a moving machine or patent
steam pillow with harrow attachment
had been at work in the premises.
Undoubtedly hens arc very much like
machines, the only difference being
that they can be little more destruc-
tive when they get down to business

INN Referring to the mn
l61U above letter, we 064,


we have had the exclusive sale of the
Rockford Quick Train Railroad Watch
for the past three years. No OTHER
PARTY CAN BUY THEM FROM THE FAC
TORY, OR HAS ANY RIGHT TO SELL
THEM. 1t seems to us much like boys
play to get angry and advertise prices
because they cannot buy the goods.
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, as We
have no money to advertise goods hot
in stock. Such desperate efforts will!
not deceive any. The people know
that we have never cursed the place as
ready to be fenced in, because we were
going to leave il. They know that e
are not a travelling experimental insti-
tuition, and they will continue TO buy
their Watches, Silver Ware, ETC., of
