Tie Curious Romance of an Old Book.

Worm and His Old Servant.
Twas speaking just now of the second

south bank of the Seine, writes a Paris
correspondent of the New York GraDhic
There are hundreds, if not thousands, Of
dry-as-dust old chaps who spend their
lives hanging over by day, and dreaming
by night, of the treasures they contain
Here is a curious and true romance of one
of these musty shops.
An old bachelor of fifty, an lnveterate
''bonquineur," or haunter Of the second
hand book stalls, had an old woman Serv.
ant named Augustine, who, by dint of ar
ranging and dustlng her masters library,
had become inoculated with the same
mania. She paid frequent visits to the
too attractive Quays, and ended by spend

old books, be it understood.
One afternoon, a little before dinner
time, she arrived out Of breath with a
package of the precious volumes, pur.
chased at the "'Courdes Miracles and

Out of curiosity her master looked over
the new acquisitions. Suddenly his face

Hardly had the words left his mouth
when he was conscious Of having commit
ted stupid blunder. In vain he tried to
modify his rash statement.
''rll give you fifty francs for it." he
said
Monsieur said it was worth twenty
thousand frames"
Augustine was cunning and stood to
her guns. 1t was very rare first edition
OF NontalEne. To no purpose did he try
10 beat her down. she wouldn't take a
sou less than twenty thousand francs, and
he couldn't afford 10 give so large price.
That night the bachelor dreamed of the
unattalnable treasure, of course valued
the more from its being just beyond his
reach. AT last he could hold out no Ions ger.

Talk about editors having hard times"
says Ople Read, in the 4rkd.sdw Trdrtler,
''about the worst ever had was when an
other fellow and myself ran q paper in Ten

couldn't afford fire at cur Office in winter

Why: Because we both had annual passes
on the railroad, and there was nothing to
prevent US from boarding the train when it
came through in the evening and riding on
it till midnight. Then we would get of,
wait for the return train, and ride back
again. We took turns on the watch so that

Masses Of Palms and Tropical Plants
and Flowers shed Their Fragrance
Over a Brilliant. Assemblage-Pretty
Mrs. President In Red Plush.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The presidents
reception to the diplomatic corps proved
In every way a brilliant affair. The great
east room was decorated in the most
elaborate anne Masses of palms and
tropical plants bulged from the fire
places and screened the walls to a height
of six feet. The mantles were covered
with roses. The pillars at the main door
leading into the private hallway were
adorned with large shields of flowers,
while smilax and clinging plants en-
twined the chandeliers. The adjoining
par lors were also beautifully befiowered.
Just before 8 o'clock the presidential
party came down the private staircase
and swept through the corridor and into
the blue room, and took up a position in
front of the party of ladies already there.
In another moment the members of the
diplomatic corps, who had been waiting
In the red room, marched slowly in and
were presented to the presidential party.
The senators, and representatives, and
those of the outside public who were in
vited, came after the diplomatic corps.
The crowd was greater than at any di-
plomatic reception ever held, and the
great parlors never combined u more bril-
liant assemblage. Mrs. Cleveland was
gowned in red plush, trimmed with gold
lace. She looked charming, and the muir
murs of admiration near the receiving
line were constant.
