could hardly walk, and was confined to my
bed good deal Of the time. Being rec.
commended to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, /
took four bottles and am perfectly well.

as one Of the best blood purifiers in the
world" w. F. WOOD, Bloomington, Ill.

or a thief, or cruel. Enjoyment came to me
and took il, and what fool / should have
been if had not taken it! But have tried
to be a good mother and kind friend, and

often been in fault like other people, still

"But, mamma Sophia went ON, 'do you
never feel as if you wanted something better
than this world It is very happy and all
that while it lasts; but do you neuer wish for

"Never. Sophia" her mother replied, now
with distinct harshness in her voice Il have
told you hundred times, I am satisfied
with the world. and with other people, and
with myself. / tell you find only one fault
with the world-I want it to last, and it
won't"
This reply was delivered in a way that
finally closed the conversation, and Sophia
never dared again allude to the subject.
December drew to its close, and she saw
that her mother was more and more declining
in strength and that even her Unsuitable APP
petite for the world itself was departing.
She no longer cared to hear the talk of the
town Her beloved Morning Post would lie
day after day unopened. The little meals,
which she used to take with the eagerness of
one who is determined to overcome illness,
were now languidly put aside to another
hour. She slept more frequently, and every.
thing showed plainly that she was quitting
the stage Of the world, where, popular
actress indeed, she had so long and so bril-
liantlY fignred.

FRANKS OF A COON,
Taking n Bath ind then Rolling In n
Barrel OF Flour.

a gentleman we'll known in this COM
munity was presented the other day
with a pet coon by Il countryman who
thought he could not show his apprccia-
ton of his city friend in Il better way.
The gentleman tthc coon) was taken
and n c endowed with all the franchise
that an American citizen can possess in
Il city home. He made himself Mt once
perfectly ut home, and the first thing
he did was to crawl up on the satin
covered sofa and proceed to take Il zap.
The mistress of the house seeing this
demonstrated by taking the Young
friend by the chain that hung from his
neck and lifting him of the sofa. the
coon III the meantime turning round
like he had jumped from q tlywhcel,
and catching at everything in his reach
with all four feet at the same time. In
his exit he got his hind leg around the
iratc lady, thinking he had hold of the
pulled his head off and brought down
the table with 4 thirty-fvc dollar vase
on It. The o 0 seemed to take in the
situation with perfect GOODNESS, and
while the lady was picking up the
pieces, he walked leisurcly out into the
hall and disappeared in the cellar.
About an hour afterward the gentleman
Of the house came home, and after
listening to the threats Of hot water,
tea kettles, etc. from Mrs. -, he
concluded to hunt up the coon and
started on the search; but the coon was
nowhere to he found. Finally, on
passing by the pantry door, which had
been left open, and where a tub of
water stood that had len used in wash
ing olt the pantry, he cspied the coon,
but the COO had turned white. This
pcrplcXcd him. He called his wife,
who came at once, and the cause of the
whitencss was 0 explained. The
coon had found the water, and near by
was an open flour barrel; he had bathed
in the tub and had crawlcd into the bar
rel, and had evidently been continuing
this amusing process for some time, for
he had worked up n lump of dough
twice his own size, and was sitting in
the water rolling the pieces in his paws.
He was lifted out, washed and sent
back with ''many thanks" to the
c%ountryman, with the intimation that a
wild cat, young bear, ground hog or
anything else would be preferable. The
gentleman says that anybody that wants
a coon is richer than he is. -Knorpule

Simple and Easy.

The tariff, my son? RI, it's a simple
thing, if you'll only give it about five
sminutcs study. There is a great deal Of
talk made over 1t, but S o there is always
much talk about everything. The true
principle of protection and free trade,
for they must ever 60 together, is this
Whatever you have to buy should be
admitted entirely free of any duty, away
down to bottom prices, and whatever
you have to sell should be protected
away up to 100 in the shade. All men
of all parties are agreed on that. ''Thcn
why do they wrangle and quarrel so
about tariff rcform?" oh, that's quite
another matter. That is because they
are not agreed on what to buy and sell.

A WANDERERS WELCOME.
Dramatic Story of n Disinhcritcd Son and
II Generous Brother.

A letter from Ann Arbor, Michigan,
says: A strange family reunion and
dramatic incident in the life of the May
burys of this city, has just been given
the finishing touch by the generosity Of
Congressman William G. Maybury.
Many years ago Thomas Maybury was IL
young artillery officer, in command Of
the Tenth battery, New York Volun-
tccrs. He was the eldest son of Thomas
Maybury of Detroit, and a brother Of
William G. Maybury. The latter vas
ut that time a lad ut school. Tom was
n model officer. He was generally
liked and considered a gallant soldier,
but the campaigns of two years ON
plctcly broke him down and he was car
ricd home n physical wreck. During
his absence his mother had died. In
her place the oldest daughter had been
installed as head of the household. The
sick soldier was nervous and irritable.
One day in the fall of 1866 he had been
unusually irritable and declined to ac-
Cede to some household request made
by the sister. The senior Maybury's
generous and kindly spirit was forgotten
for the moment and he ordered his son
to leave the house and his home. With
out a word Tom lett, and for twenty
years no word was received from him,
and the family mourned him rs dead.
The aged father was bowed down by
grief. He felt the approach of death,
and called for William J. Craig. the
well known lawyer, to make his will.
With tears in his eyes the old man told
of how the favoritc son had gone away
never to return. After beUueathinr
500, 600 of city real estate to some
daughters, the will reritcd that if
Thomas did not return within three
years after the tc%stator'S death to claim
his share of the remainder of the estate,
it was all to go to William G., the
youngest son. The date of the will
was February 10, 1882. The day be-
fore last Christmas n tall, handsome
man got off n Michigan Central train.
Except in height he vas almost the
counterpart of Congressman Mavbury.
When he told a hickman to drive him
to Thomas Maybury's house, and learned
from the driver that Thomas Maybury
was dead, the stranger, who was the
long lost son. was deeply affected by
the news. He was driven to the Com
CHEESEMAN'S house. His sister opened
the door to him and tainted away. The
reunion with the family was affecting
and dramatic.
Tom returned exactly forty days after
his inheritance had passed from him,
but he did not care. He nae gone
West a poor man and had returned Il
rich mine owner III California. The
story only came out recently, when the
deeds from the Congressman to his
brother for the lattcr'S share of the es-
tate lands, valued at S2O. 600 were re-
corded. Thomas didn't want to take
it, but William insisted. The story
has created much interest.

THE COLORED ARISTOCRACY.
Lenders I'm Washington society, Pillars ira
Churches, Musicians, md Artists.

There is an aristOcracy among the
colorcd people Of Washington as well as
among the white, says Il local letter, and
1T is quite rs exclusive. The forcus or
pole around which the heightened
colorcd society rcvOlvcs is the Fifteenth
Presbyterian Church, which stands in
an aristocratic section Of the city-Mc-
Phcrson square. The leading men in.
this church are ex-senator Bruce. DR..
Purvls, John NJ. Langston. late Minister
to l1ayti. who has recently been elected
President of Il colorcd college in Nir-
glnia; Prof. Grccncr, who is now in
New York in charge of the Grant monu-
mcnt fund; the. Wormlcys. who are
proprictors fthc most aristocratic hotel
here; George Cook, the superintendent
OF Colorcd Schools; JOIN f.. Cook the
Collector of Taxes Of the District, and
others Of the creme de la creme. The
pastor of this church is the Rev. Mr..
Grinkc, Il young man of about 81 years,
who was graduated at Lincoln University
with the valedictory of his class, and
studied theology ut Princeton. Con-
gresham O'IIara Of North Carolina is q
member of the c~otcris, but %singularly
enough he and his wife are Catholics,
and attend st. Agustinc's Church.
Mrs. O'Hara is one Of the lovcliest
ladies in Washington, and were it not
for the slight trace Of negro blood in
her veins she would be Il leader in white
society. Like Mrs. Bruce who is also,
beautiful, she is Il highly educated and
accomplished woman, speaks French,
plays Beethoven, paints plaques, and is
up in art and literature to Il degree that
would make some Of her white sisters
blush for envy. Both Mrs. Bruce and
Mrs. O11ara are very nearly white, and
ic would be difficult for Il stranger to de-
tcct their relation to the African race.
Mrs. O'I1ara has a white yOvcrncss for
her children, and intends that they
shall be as accomplished rs herself
These people have their own society,
give balls, dinner parties. receptions and
other entertainments, and pay formal
visits on regular receptions days, just
like the ladies Of official life. At a
''high tea or L bail given by this circle
Of the colorcd aristocracv one can find
quite as much intelligence, quite as
much beauty, and quite as much grace
Of manner rs will be gathered at any of
the swell receptions of white folks.
Both gentlemen and ladies appear in
full evening dress, and the costumes of
the ladies arc duly described in the
.S"ndmy i"r, the organ Of the heightened
colorcd residents Of the District.
