not entirely broken of with Mohr, she en-
couraged Deering with her sweetest
smiles, and most captivating audacity of
manner. Jack was bewildered, almost
distracted, by the new turn of affairs;
her father demonstrated. but all in vain.
Mrs Byrnes bridled with Indignation;
she had added heavy gold chain and
new diamond ring to her claims to con-
sideratiOn and felt that her opinions were
entitled to respect.
At Mikes place the discussion ran high
Shorty leading gallant minority in favor
of Deering and his claims.

''she's-"
"A trump" said Shorty, doggedly,
"a regular trump card, she is. ~
THE little joker" said Sims, scorn-
fully; bound to take the best trick in
the game of life, especially where dia-
mOnds are trumps."
"Deering's the right bower in that
game, certain, =" said another, with a poor
attempt at joke.
And Jack MOhr's left at any rate"
added Shorty, humoring the joke, amid
shouts of hilarious laughter.
After this Jack Mohr got the sobriquet
of the Left Bower" and instead of re-
senting it he welcomed it as an added
humiliation.
He became reckless and wild, fond of
parading his misfortunes, and growing
more desperate and careless of his per-
sonal appearance, finally disappeared
from the village, no one knew whittier.

maid TO draw aside the heavy silken cur

The New Silver Certificates.

The Bureau Of Engraving and Printing
has begun 70 print the new ten dollar silver
certificates. They are printed or the new
distinctive paper, which was manufactured
expressly for them Each sheet contains
four notes. and 5000 impressions were
taken in the first days printing. Thirty
DAYS will be required 10 finish them, as
they have to go through several processes.
It is not expected, however. that they will
be put in circulation much before the mid
die of November, when the new one and
two dollar silver certificates will be ready.
The design for the smaller notes is now
being transferred to steel. The plates will
be ready for the printer about the middle
of rcXt month. The design for the ten
dollar plate was commenced some time be-
fore Congress ordered the new notes. This
is the reason why the larger denominations
are so much nearer completion than the
new small notes. As soon as the plates for
the new one and two dollar silver certid-
cs.rcs are ready, the full force Of printers
will be employed to finish the notes as
rapidly as possible. But it cannot be eS-
pected that they will be put into circulation
much before the middle OF November. if,
in fact, they are ready quite as soon rs that

Fros: In Midsummer.

It seems to he quite settled that 1856
shall be marked all throughout by ex-
ceptional outbursts of cold temperature.
It began with a remarkable aud pro-
longed fall of the thermometer which
affected every part of the British Islands.
It has continued month after month be-
low the mean for the season, and already
there have appeared premonitory symp-
toms of the coming winter in the form
of a severe frost in the north Of Scot
land. This frost is not only rare, 1t IS
absolutely without parallel in the
month of July. There does not appear
to be single instance of the thermome-
ter being noted below the freezing point
in any part of Scotland in July previous
to this year. In the carefully kept reg
isters of temperature at Culoden, which
extend over the greater part OF this cen
tury, the lowest point touched by the
thermometer in July was 80 degrees, on
the 18th of July, 1875. But, in 1856, at
the sea level at Wick, on the 29th Of
July the thermometer touched 80 de-
gees, and inland throughout the county
of Caithness even lower readings are re-
ported. This fall OF the thermometer in
the North Of Scotland is evidently con-
nected with general and most remarka-
bic cold wave, which includes within its
sweep every part Of the British Islands. In
London the Thermometer only touched
the average maximum temperature
for July on three days between July 10
and 80, the three days being the 18th,
2lst and 22d, and on the 2Sth the maxi
mum recorded was only 81 degrees, the
lowest maximum for any day in July in
the course of several yeaGs.-Pan Mall

Thread from Milk Weed.

American inquisitiveness and ingenui-
ty united have produced thread made
from the blossom Of the common milk
weed, which has the consistency and
tenacity of imported fax or linen thread,
and is produced at much less cost.
The fibre is long, easily carded, and may
be readily adapted to spinning upon an
ordinary flax spinner. 1t has the
smoothncss and lustre OF silk, rendering
it valuable for sewing machine use. The
weed is common throughout tLis coun-
try, but grows profuscly at the South.
TIE material costs nothing for cultiva-
ton, and the gathering is as chcaply
done as that Of cotton.-DGy Goods

The Railways Of the World.

The lines of railways in the five divisions
OF the earth cost, in round numbers, $l6,-
O00, 100000; ard would, according to
Baron kolb, reach eight times round the
globe, although it is but little over have q
century since the first railway worked by
steam was opened between Darlington and
Stockton, Sept. p, 1925. and between
Manchester and Liverpool, Sept. IS, 1880.
1t is shown that in France, previous to the
existence of railways, there WAS one pas
senger in every 335, ,O0C killed, and one out
of every 80. 900 wounded; whereas between
1885 and 1875. there was but enc il 3,11S,-
800 killed, and one in S0.450 wounded; so
that we may infer that the tendency to ac-
cidents is yearly diminishing Railway
travelling in England is attended with
greater risk than any other country IL
Europe. 4 French stat;stician observes
that if person were to live continually in
a railway carriage and spend all his time
in railway travelling, the chances Of his
dying from railway accident would not
occur till he was $50 years old.

5 Tobacco in France.

Some interesting particulars are pub
hshed by N. Paul Leroy-BeaDlleu IN the
Economist Francais with regard to the
manusaetureand consumption of tobacco
in France. He quotes official figures,
which show that while the quantity OF
tobacco grown in France itself was about
1920 tons in 1850, it has been gradually
increasing until it is now nearly double
that quantity, while the revenue which
the State derives from it has increased
from IS, $50, 900 to nearly sl3, 600, 900.
In other words, while the quantity Of
tobacco grown has only doubled, the
profits of the State, or, in other words,
of the manufacturers, have nearly quad
rupled. The great increase in profit IS
explained by NJ. Paul Leroy-Beaaheu
upon sthe ground that the expense OF
manufact turing an additional quantity OF
tobacco IS not anything like that Of the
first establishment OF plant and material.
The cultivation and manufacture OF to-
bacco has been government monopoly
since 1914, and, with the exception OF a
brief interval during the Revolution, has
remained so ever since. In this conncc-
ton, NJ. Paul Leroy-Beaulicu gives the
following figures, showing the quantity
Of tobacco consumed il the different
countries of Europe, and the rate per
100 inhabitants is, according to him, as
follows: Spain, ITO pounds; Italy, 12S
pounds; Great Britain, 13S pounds;
Russia, 1S2 pounds; Hungary, POI
pounds; Denmark, 224 pounds; Norway,
229 pounds; Austria, 273 pounds; Ger
many, 1856 pounds; Holland, AS pounds;
and Belgium, $50 pounds. In other
words, while in Spain little more than
one pound per head is consumed, nearly
double that quantity is consumed III
France, three times as much IN Germany,
four times as much in Holland, and five
times as much in Belgium.

THE LATE DR. HAYNE.
A South Carolinian Who Lived on His Nife,s
Earnings as Long as He Could.
LEgo,n the PHILADELPHIA Times.

Years ago Julia Dean, a very pretty anu
engaging actress, WAS great tavorltc IL all
American cities and had q host OF nd
mircrs in her train Having mind and Char
acter likewise, all who knew her esteemed
ard honored her. In en- evil hour she lis
tened to the impassioned suit Of DR..
Hayne. son of Robert y. Hayne, Of South
Carolina; was fattered by his preference.
She was somewhat ambitious socially and
accepted him, having no idea that gentle
man OF his antecedents and exalted proteS-
sion would think for q moment OF allow
ing her to remain on the stage. DR.. Haync
was, it is said, always talking OF the ST.
periority of his native State, OF his father,
the eloquent Senator. OF his illustrloUs an
cestors and imaginary illusiriouS self. No
one who had heard his raporingS would
have believed him other than the embodi-
ment of the most sensitive honor and most
majestic chiralry When he pressed her
to hasten the wedding day She gave rs 4
reason for defcrrinS it that she had certain
theatrical engagements TO fill, and that She
was anxious to complete these before
changing her name But he WAS so persistent
that she yielded ut last. and was delighted
that his love was stronger than his much
vaunted pride. She regarded it as an eX-
traordinary concession that he should be
willing to permit his wife, known to be
such before the world, to act even for 4
few months. When her engagements had
expired he showed, to her surprise, no OBJ
lection to her entering into new ones. Her
surprise decpencd into painful amaZemcnt
and modification when she saw, rs time
went on, that he made no opposition to her
supporting him. He had no income Of his
own; he did not try to practice his profeS-
sion; he merely travelled with her and
shared her earnings, or rather took by Tar
the larger half. She loved the man. She
would have been only too happy to work
for him night and day had h. been i'll or
disabled. But to see him, robust, in COM
parative youth, lounging around hotels.
smoking, drinking, playing billiards. and
talking about being a gentleman, wholly at
her expense and without the least regret,
tortured her pride and rendered her
wretched, as it would have rendered any
womanly woman No amount of love
could endure such an experience. 1t turned
to contempt and he was aware OF It. But
he did not care SO long as his bills were
paid. She kept her own secret locked in
her heart, fer she respected herself and out
wardly respected him. But the time came
when She could no longer bearit. She left
him, obtained a divorce ard he became the
late DR.. Hayne. How he managed after
ward nobody knows or cares.
