A PERUVIAN ROMANCE.

Near me sat a quiet family, notice
ably well-behaved, noticeable TO a
person who was looking around for
the purpose of studying faces. 1t
is family with history. Ten years
ago the man was clerk in COM
mission-house in Peru. On his
salary of $1,000 he supported his
wife and 4 children. During re-
volution his employer was shot and
the business ruined. He alone knew
of certain transactions which, to be
sure, the books of the house might
have disclosed, which if carried
through would make the widow of
his employer and his only heir monu-
mentally rich. He said nothing
about them. He was humble, a
quiet man, and had nothing to do
with politics. He held his tongue.
Three years thereafter the party,
whose success had ruined his en-
ployer, was turned out of power
and the other, the opposition, came
in. That was his opportunity, He
carried to the end tie transactions
suspended by the previous revolu
ton, and turned over to the widow
of his old employer Sc, 900, 900. Sh,

tested against it, saying he. would
be abundantly rewarded by salts
factory commission. She endeavored
TO show him the absurdity of that
conclusion, but he would not be
changed and was not. However,
she insisted upon his taking $780,
900. He did so, and came to this
country with the intention of going
abroad. A year ago, the Fourth of
July, the woman died, and the 10th
day of August, 1885, her will was
admitted to probate. BY it this
gentleman came into possession of
$4,000, 900 in property, real estate,
bonds, and there being no heirs
whatever, he entered into immediate
and peaceful occupation, sold every
thing he possessed and came to this
country, where he will remain until
November, waiting the arrival of his
twin brother from Japan, with whom
he intends spending the remainder
of his life in Naples. He is bald
headed man, with gray mustache,
twinkling eyes, and the most perfect
teeth l ever saw. He wears no
jewelry, dresses always in black,
smokes all the time, and looks to me
as if some bright morning he would
be blown across the vale and land
on the other side without knowing
it. His wife is portly lady, with
dark hair streaked here and there
with silvery lines. Like her hus-
band, she has gentle smile and a
face stamped with anxiety.
The family, three girls and a boy,
have passed childhood and stand on
the confines of occupation. Two of
the girls are gentleness personified ;
the other is sprightly and full of
fun. The boy gives fair promise OF
developing into tough. | think if
he has rope enough given to him he
will hang on to the pleasures of life

One of Natures Franks.

Capt. John L. Martin a prominent
citizen of this county, dropped in to see us
recently, and, after exchanging the COM
pliments of the day, he thrust his fore
finger and thumb into his vest-pockct,
taking therefrom IN acorn; handing it
to us he said: Now. what do you think
of thatP' Taking the acorn from his
proffered hand, we, after Il brief inspec-
ton of the same, perceived that it was n
fine specimen of the acorn--only this
and nothing morc-and replied TO his
interrogation to that effect. VERY true. \"
said he, 'but if l were to tell you that
the acorn, rs you see it there in its per-
feet state, had grown and matured on u
pine tree, then you would not only con-
slider it Il fine specimen, but Il very re-
markable production, would you not?"
We agreed to the proposition and asked
the Captain to explain, which he did in
brief and satisfactory manner, rs fol-
lows;
Near his plantation home, which is
situated eight or ten miles from this
place, stands the tree which bears the
unnatural fruit. The tree is an ordna-
ry, medium-sized specimen of its kind,
and to a person standing twenty steps
away would attract no special attention
among the others standing thickly
grouped about A nearer inspection,
however, would reveal its remarkable
identity. Thickly perched upon every
twig and bough are TO be seen these
acorns, varying in size the same as they
flourish on their parent stcm-the oak.
Interspersed here and there upon the
tree are the original pine burs. Capt.
M. considers it most remarkable freak
of nature, and he is certainly correct.
He can form no plausible reason for the
amalgamation, and cannot in any way
account for the hybrid state thus cstab-
lished The tree with the acorns on is
there to show for itself, and the Cap
tain will take pleasure in showing it to
any one who would like to see the Won
derful curiosity. The acorn plucked
from this strange pine is now on exhi-
bition in our office, where those desiring
can have an opportunity of examining
it. Washington (Ga) Reporter.

some persons who are congcnitally cau-
tious, congentally cold, congcnitally

quietly never to be in II hurry, never to
excite themselves. They are content TO
sit in an casy-chair for so many hours,
read an agreeable book for so many
hours, drive in carriage when the
weather is favorable for SO many hours,
and to regulate their existence by clock
work. They may live to one hundred,
they may live to one thousand, but in
truth, they have not lived ut all. The

II Didn't Work.

There is in Sumpter County, Georgia,
n certain pond or swamp of 100 acres
or more The water is very shallow,
and grass grows luXuriantly in it. Here
horses and cattle love to feed and ducks
congregatc in great numbers. They do
not fear the horses and cattle, but are
very shy when n man is around. jim
Murray thought that by hitching horse
to fat-bottomed boat he could drive all
over the swamp and kill no end of
ducks. The plan worked well ut first.
The horse drew the boat easily. but
when at the right time Jim said whoa"
and jumped mp to fire at the ducks, there
was hitch in the programme. The
horse stopped. but the boat didn't 1t
quietly hoated on and banged against
the horses hind legs. The horse jumped.
and ut that Jim took header backward
into the water, his gun going about
twenty feet beyond him. just where
the gun went is not certain. 1t has not
been seen since. The horse and the
boat kept right on. When the horse
wanted to stop the boat hit his legs and
urged him forward. When the boat
wanted to stop the horse didn't know 1t.
Finally boat and horse got thoroughly
tangled up and the latter went down.
Then Jim's brother Tom, who had been
watching the show from the solid land,
waded in and cut the horse loose, and at
the same time jim waded out. The
boat was not hurt in the least

what to DO When Dress Catches Fir

The following letter appears in n late
number of the London Times.
SIR: Will you grant me space to ex-
plain briefly what, think, should be
the first thing TO be done by girl or
woman whose dress has caught fire,
and similarly the duty of any one who
goes to her rescue?
A girl or woman who meets with this
accident should Immediately lie down
on the floor, and. so any one who goes
to her assistance, should instantly, if
she still be erect, make her lie down, or
if needfnl, throw her down into u hori-
zontal position, and keep her in it.
Sparks fly upward and flames ascend.
Ignition from below mounts with fear
ful rapidly; and, Nas result well
known to experts. the fatality or disfig-
urement in these lamentable cases is due
to the burns inflicted about the body,
neck, face and head, and not to injuries
of the lower limbs. Now, the very mo-
ment that the person whose clothes are
on fire is in horizontal position on
fiat surface, the flames still ascend, but
only into the air, and not encirling
their victim. Time is thus gained for

position the person afflicted may crawl
to bell-pull or to a door, SO as to
clutch mt the one or open the other to
obtain help. The draught from an open
door into the room would serve to blow
the flames, il any, away from the body;
or again, still crawling, the sufferer

horizontal position is assumed they

1t was amusing to read lately. cabled
all over the world, that Mr.. Gladstone
kissed the Queens hand. The custom
of Withdrawing the glove in handshak-
ing is now II thing of the past. 1t had
its origin in the knight of the olden
time taking off his iron gauntlet so rs
not to hurt his lady's hand, and has
gradually become an obsolete fashion,
though one yet sees u gentleman who
considers it only due lady that he
should give her his bare hand. A young
lady told me that she incurred the dis.
pleasure of provincial acquaintance
because she merely bowed instead of
shaking hands with Il group of girls
with some of whom she had but a slight
acquaintance, when entering aparlor ut
a country afternoon tea. They called it
quitting on airs" when, in fact, it was
their own ignorance of the social neces.
sites of the occasion that was ut fault.
But the provincial young ladies evident
~ believed in Misunderstanding Us part of

A mistake often made in social greet
ings is that of introducing ~ lady to a
gentleman, which is the reverse of cor
rect. When the sex is the same, intro
duce the one you consider inferior in
point of social position or by reason of
youth, to the superior or older. When
introduced it is etiquette to bow, but
not to shake hands, and it is optional
with lady to recognize the gentleman
at the next meeting. ! think ] could
easily tell flirt II i saw her shake
hands, for the method of that character
is to linger over every hand as il that

tons. In fact there is much to be learn
