THE FIRST HEADER.

For the illustration Of an incident in this
first journey we are indebted to the maya
zine Outing. The picture explains itself.
This accident occurred while going down
hill. Lallemont had no brake. He yelled
in French to have an old farmer and his
wagon give him room The farmer, on
turning round. spied the strange apparition
that was evidently chasing him, jerked
wildly on the reins, so that Lallemont, to
avoid collision with the bewildered driver,
DETECTED his wheels TO one side, taking
what is technically called header"
from which he carries scar ON his face to
this day.
A man named Carroll advanced money to
obtain a patent May 4, 1885, But did not
have capital to manufacture 1t. nor could
capital be secured Lallemont returned to
France, where he found manufacturer
willing to assist him, and did, but the war
of 1870 put stop to their work. He after.
wards received 10, 600 francs for his interest
in the American patent, which expired in
1888. Fortunes are being made In the manu-
facture of the ''wheel" to-day, and its In
ventor plods along as an obscure but light

CHAPTER ".

THE LAST AND LEAST CHAPTER OF THE
NOVEL
1 praise my heroine no more-not line,
not word Two little anecdotes l tell of
her, and with these leave her to your judg
ment my fair readers The first anecdote,
you will perceive, is in the old style, and you
will yawn over it. The second is more in our
modern habit.
Percival Brent was a quiet undemonstra-
tive man of science, who never shocked any
body by declaring himself against religion,
or the "old notions" But among his particu.
lar friends, it was well known that he freely
accepted the most advanced and las they are
at present considered) the most disintegrat-
ing scientific views ("Now what is this lead,
ing up to !" you, my May blossom student,
will ask: patinece, little one; look below and
see how near the end we are.) One of his
friends who knew his views, and could speak
to him freely, said one day interrogatively
ut is matter of astonishment to me,
Brent, that you, with your opinions, still keep
up your religious practices SO regularly
"Let me tell you the reason" Brent
answered.
II am married to wife whom love, and
sweetness Of character. hveliness, sense, and
virtue all round, never met her equal
have often asked myself, What is the secret
of her characterF and always come to the
same conclusion-that II her religious faith
were deducted from her she could not be
what she is, but must become less agreeable
and not so good woman. She has kept me
from taking the leap which reason has often
bid me take. l cannot renounce religion
which I feel makes her what she is"
A tedious anecdote, reader, however short.
Now for number two, which is quite another
pattern.
To Kettlewell, not so many years ago,
came a man aged forty-three. He was
famed as a ladies' man, and something in
him must have pleased women, for his success
with certain set was quite undoubted. Per-
haps his consummate impudence won their
hearts. Be that as it may, he was among
them an object Of no little curiosity, the
more because he was wealthy and presump-
tive heir to title This man, satisfied with
himself and confident of his power over
women, met Mrs. Sophia Brent two or three
times Whether he fancied her to be maid
or widow-cr whether, knowing her to ba
married, he meant to enshrine her in Pa
tonic affection cannot tell. This I can tell.
This, reader, did actually happen.

am resolved to end smiling, and to have
my readers smiling, too; for which purpose I
have kept an anecdote for the very latest
line.
Sophia would sometimes see her friends at
little tete-a-tete visits, and here she would
discourse, as she only could, on all kinds of
subjects, or she would let her friends dis
course. The charm of Sophia was, that you
could never tell exactly whether it was you
OF she kept up the conversation. How that
woman managed her house and family is
quite beyond my comprehension. Manage
she did, and WE'LL and yet whenever you
called on her, morning or evening, there she
was, dressed with the best taste, her hair
done In faultless STYLE and all the rest of her
attire to match. Ah, gray-haired Sophia,
you knew-did you not3-that one to whom
you often vouchsafed those gracious inter-
views, in all honor loved you with more
than. .boyish loves OF what did we not talki
Literature, music, pictures, history, gossip
now and then, but somehow one always went
away from that drawing room with mere
cheerful heart, with nobler views and hopes
Of human life, with touch of refinement
caught from Sophia. And lovers Sophia
had more than me, as he shall see who reads
on to the now nearing close.
One morning-well I remember tt-as
Sophia and myself sat thus alone, Percival
being occupied with fossil, I drew from nv
pocket that little paper of "Beauty Rules" Of
which told you some time ago, saying that
should like her to explain these axioms to
me. She was sitting in low chair, and had
a work-basket beside her, with which she
kept up kind Of telegraphic connection in
the shape of thread which Travelled slowly
from the basket to herself as her fingers
worked out some mystery in wool
"Hand me the paper" she said, laying her
needles and work down. II will read them to
you, and explain"
But here Sophia was seized with a fit of
laughing, greatly tickled, it seemed, to find
herself lecturing on beauty to me-
II never showed these to any one except
yourself, she remarked, when her mirth was
ended aAnd never meant to show them to
any one at all I daresay you will think
them great rubbish"
And 50 she began with comic preface,
which was not on the paper at all:
Beauty Rules by Sophia Brent, an
elderly lady, who ought to be thinking of
other things"
3Rule One.-A woman's power in the
world is measured by her power to please
Whatever she may wish to accomplish she
viii best manage it by pleasing. A wo-
manS grand social aim should be to please
"And let me tell you how that is to be
done" Sophia said, putting her paper down
for a moment "A woman can please the eye
by ber appearance, her dress, her face and
her figure. She can please the ear by study
ing the art Of graceful elocution, not hard to
any Of us, for by nature we speak with finer
articulation than you- She can please the
mind by culdvating her own-so far, at
least, as to make her a good listener; and as
much further as she viii she can please the

Courier, Republican.
The Republican papers throughout Ohio can
not be too bitter against John A. Logan be-
cause he saw fit to cast one honest vote.
There is nothing too mean to charge him
with. They all have at once come to
the conclusion that John did, during the re-
bellion, raise company to help the South,
but during the last Presidential campaign
when the Democrats made such charge
against him, they, (the Republicans swore
it was lie made up for political purposes.
Strange, isn't it, how soon the Republican
party is ready to drop man and abuse him,
when he shows little sign of honesty. Sen
ators Evarts and Teller are as much abused
as Logan is, merely because they voted their
sentiments for once uninfuenced by party
