much as a skate in an aquarium trying to get up the glass;, on any blessed occasion of tete-a-tete I endeavored to entertain my Spanish born, Paris bred and Catholic-heart- ed mistress with my own views upon the subjects of the Spanish Armada, the battle of Waterloo and the doctrine of Transub- stantiation. I dared not address any son. nets straight to herself, but when she went back to Paris wrote her French letter, sev- en quarto pages long, descriptive of the des- olations and solitudes of Herne-hill since her departure. Ths old people, meanwhile, saw little harm in all this. MT. Domecq, who was extremely good-natured, and good judge of character, rather liked me, because he that was good natured also and had some seedling brains, which would come up in time; in the interests of the business he was perfectly ready to give me any of his daughters liked who could also be got to like me, but considered that the time was not come to talk of such things. My father was entirely of the same mind. My mother who looked upon the idea of marrying 8 Roman Catholic as too monstrous to be pos
 sible in the decrees of heaven, and too pre- posterous to be even guarded against on earth-was rather annoyed at the whole bus
 mess, as she would have been if one of her chimneys had begun smoking, but had not the slightest notion her house was on fire.

 Leader.l
 Washington's pompous ways were severe ly criticised at this time. His gorgeous cream-colored coach with it's six horses was talked of, and they said that it was ridieu- lous for one who posed the great cham pion of American liberty to keep men in livery and to own 300 slaves. There was probably some truth in this charge. Wash ington was great swell, and he liked to strut about and have his fellow-men tcady- ing him. He believed in high honors being paid to the President of the United States, and his receptions as President were of the stiffest kind. He dressed in the richest of clothes, wore silk, satin and lots of gold lace, and I doubt not he a little proud of his figure, which was tall and we'll sunken. Washington had probably as fine an establishment in America as any man in the country at the time he lived. He kept the finest of horses in his stables and had an army of liveried servants. At Mount Vernon he had a hundred COWS, and he entertained like an English lord. He always had wine on his table, and he drank several glasses at every dinner. His wife was addressed as Lady Washington in those days, and his friends gave him the title in private life of ''Your Excellency." I have seen manuscript private letters to Mrs. Washington directed to "Lady" Washington, and doubt not that during the first admin istration of our government she was toadied like Queen. She and the President had their coat of arms, and George Washington had buttons made, at least there are such buttons in existence, with his initials on them. The Washington family had the finest of china. They liked good furniture, and even now at Mount Vernon one might keep up an establishment which would not discredit the times of to-day

Consumption
 Conquered! :!
WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE,

| CHAS. A. CABRERA, g Hawley Street, Boston, Mass, writes:
 'One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit.
 Finally, as a last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle I took a new lease of life, and
 of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now | one of my choicest possessions, and at the | first symptom of cough or cold I fly to it for the relief it never fails to give" DIR. FLOWERS LUNG COR. DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
 Price $1 per bottle. Acopy of

EDESONsS AIR TELEGRAPH.
 Mir. Edison calls his air telegraph "one of the most important among recent inventions in the results it is likely to accomplish" It is certainly wonderful affair. Fo1 some years MT. Edison had been experimenting and in vestigating on this line, when suddenly he discovered that by means of an apparatus he had made he could throv a very strong electric current through the air, from one conductor to another, by means of a simple primary coil which gave no spark in the air, while the secondary coil connected there with, although giving sparks several inches in length, was powerless to transmit wave over this great distance. He is now able to send a current five hundred and eighty feet: and his apparatus has been successfully used in sending dispatches from moving railroad train, and it is believed that by and by it will come into constant use.
 NIT. Edison promises to apply his wonder full invention in such way that messages can be sent from one ship at sea to another many miles distant. Concerning this he says in his article in the North American Review: The song of the sirens would have no charm for any mariner who could hear from home and send word te his sweetheart by this method News of wrecks, distress, mutinies, etc., could be rapidly forwarded from ship to ship within each others signalling area, and merchants could not only find out just where the ships are that carry valuable car goes invoiced to them, but could also, if they desired, telegraph 70 alter the destination of their vessels in accordance with changes of the market In time of war line of ships stationed along the coast between the scene of active hostilities and the nearest tel egraph office could be of immense service in conveying by the air telegraph news of the ensmys approach, or in transmitting dis patches where communication by the land routes was interrupted.
 This modern miracle worker has done so many marvellous things that it is easy to believe that he can keep his promises in re- gard to the air telegraph. t'The age of mir aeles is not past. It is forever here.'

Luck in the Horseshoe.


 The old notion that there is luck in a horseshoe finds support in one case at least. When Maud s. did her first really fast mile at Cleveland, in 2.101a, Capt. Stone, of Cincinnati, who owned her, pulled off her shoes and stored them in his desk, and sold the mare to Vanderbilt for snug price. He has been making money ever since and capturing the best things of life. The captain kept only one of the shoes. He gave one to Mrs. Swain, and she gave it to her larger brother. He hadn't had it a week before he was married to one of the most charming ladies in New York. He has been prospering like a green bay tree ever since and has had the shoe plated and framed and wouldn't take Florida lot for it. NIT. Vanderbilt had one of the shoes and used to think it had happy influence on his efforts to turn an honest penny. Cor nelius owns it now and has it fastened on the front of his writing table. The fourth shoe is in possession of William Bair, Maud s. s driver. Bair thinks that if he had not had the shoe stuffed in the ballast of hissulky cushions he never would have been able to have gotten the work out of the little mare that he has since the piece of steel came into his possession.

 There is no doubt that the labor troubles are injuring business. Manufacturers who do not know what a day may bring forth in the way of strike do not know what to do. It is to be hoped that the Knights of Labor will not kill the goose that lays the golden egg.
 Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has managed to secure fair share of earthly treasure. He estimates his earnings during the last forty years as follows: Salary preacher, $320,- 900; lecture fees, $a40, 0,OO0; wedding fees, $50, ,OO0; sundry publications, $10O, O,o0O; incl dentals, $40, 1000, making a grand total of $75O, ,OOO MT. Beecher has spent his money freely, but he has enough left to make him feel easy.
 Sam Jones may be very effective evan gelist, but he is not very polite to some sin ners. Here is an example: ''I can put up with a man who drinks whisky, but don't want anything to do with man who drinks beer. Naughter.) If you don't stop drink ing beer you'll be hog, and no mistake. You old hog, you,' (pointing his finger at a fat man who sat down in front), if were to stick knife in you I'd let out about five gal Ions of the dirty beer.'"
 A goose farm is one of the curiosities of agriculture on the eastern shore of Virginia. Within an area of about 5000 acres live 5000 geese, of several varieties, attended by herders and regularly fed with corn, etc. The object is the collecting of down for quilts and pillows, and once in about six weeks plucking takes place. Only the breasts and the sides under the wings are plucked, and it requires the yield of nearly 100 geese to weigh pound. The raw feath- CTS are sent to Philadelphia for cleaning and sorting.
 An Asiatic mob, according to recent writer, differs from the ordinary one. All l over Asia, from Constantinople to Shanghai, vast mobs continually assemble for worship, for jolliication, for curiosity, and nobody in 1 terferes. The kings do not apprehend revolt | from them, the police do not look for riot, | the people do not fear accident. In India, Burmah, Ceylon, Arabia and China immense | crowds continually assemble without dis 1 turbance of any kind, without endangering public peace and without disaster, save l when, owing to the consequent breach of sanitary laws, some devastating epidemic is occasionally generated. true "mob" of LOG, 900 persons is a constant phenomenon in 1 India and is as little regarded by the magis- trates as a crowd ot ,OOO would be in Lon- ! don.
