AFTERNOON NOTES.

Cotton is coming IN more freely.
The grand old sun is shining out
again warmly.
A drove of twenty berkshire hogs
were driven into town this morning
and sold at six cents.
Rev. Sam P. Wright preached a
magnificent sermon at the nth and
Morrow street chapel last night.
The assiduity with which the city
officials have kept the crossings on the
main streets perfectly clean through
the long muddy spell has touched a
grateful feeling in tie popular heart,
especially among the ladies who have
been enabled to get about shopping
with great comfort.
Mr.. Larz, Levine, leaves this even.
ing for Pine Bluff, Arkansas where he
will make his future home. Mr..
Levine has been a resident of Waco
for nearly twenty years where he has
raised family Of industrious and ex.
amplary children. A large number Of
friends will wish them good luck in his
new home.
The little chapel on nth and Nor
row street was over crowded last
night as it frequently is. A new and
larger church is in contemplation to
accommodate the increasing attendance.
Those unostentatious mission churches
in the suburbs are doing fine work
and are becoming an important factor
in religious work. The little church
around the corne: has always a strong
hold on the people.

The Father of the Clubs.

Wills coffee house has been emphaiically named the father of all present clubs. It was on the northwest corner of Russell street and Bow street; and thanks to the patient and accurate research which MT. Laurence Hutton has bestowed upon such matters, wo are enabled to recognize the old house 21 Russell street as one of the original build- ings.
 For many years it continued to be the favorite resort of writers, wits enG men about town, and the proprietor, William Dryden, to whose constant attendance its popularity was mainly due. The poet laureate was Londoner to the backbone, and though he would some times talk rather grandly about his s,I1nmer and winter seats, closer acquaint- ance with the great man would merely re- solve it into a whimsical reference to his armchair, which in winter had its settled place by the fireside and in summer stood upon the balcony. Probably the poet agreed with Dr. Johnson, who described the great chair at club as ''the throne of human felic- ity;" but though Dryden spent great part of his time at his favorite Wills, he does not seem to have done much to support his sov- ereignty. He was rather a silent man, which was the more remarkable as his thoughts flowed rapidly enough upon paper; and though the young beaus of the day thought it great honor to be allowed to take pinch from his snuffbox, he was not particularly popular among them--Cornhill Magazine.

Lord rennxson in London.

It was only few weeks ago that saw ths noble hermit, who is England's poet laureate. It was in busy London thoroughtare-,nid day-and his lordship looked as thorough a fish out of water as any Norwegian rustic who strays into Broadway from Castle Gar den. As no one seemed to notice him, it was evident they took him for an East End Jew dealer in "Old clo'!" which he strangely re- sembles. The romantic wide-awake was dis carded for dismal, antique, foot-and-a-half tall silk tile that proclaimed it was enjoying its first full dress holiday for twenty years at least. The Inverness cape was there, ot course, but it was closely hugged up to the neck as if to shield the sensitive wearer from contact with the vulgar herd the laureate SC dreads. His feet shuff1ed and slid barely one foot's length at step, and the way those in pired but damp and limp locks clung to the cheeks of the stepping son of. genius was enough to sadden the hearts of the sparrows

 Presently Raymond proposed that they should walk in the garden, down through the avenue of chestnut trees Suzanne and the two young men walked on q trifle in advance of the parents. and they both began to talk of their children, and Roger soon divined that Julia loved Raymond with tender, more absorbing love than she gave to her eldest born. Pierre knew this, and though it sad dened him somewhat, he had too noble Q Character to resent it or feel jealous Ray mond did not know there was O difference, and he almost idolized his brother.

THE DRUG STORE SHOW BOTTLE.
An Invention f.. :. Will Help to Place It

An Invention t.l ;. Will Help to Place It
 on the Retired List.
 A very attractive and effective novelty in the way of O sign may be seen in front of a down town drug store. It is, indeed, so prominent and dazzling a feature. especially at night, that no one can help seeing it It is an illuminated drug sign, the invention of the druggist himself
 The sign is conveniently formed in the shape of a case, its thickness about half its width, having door giving access to the in terior. In the sides of this case are arranged glasses of the kind commonly known as s'bulrs eyes," of different sizes and colors, forming the translucent parts of druggists s compound show bottle, the round bulls eyes forming successive portions of the bottle It is the intention to make the remainder of the design figured work upon the outside of the case in bright colors, such as gold or silver leaf, which will reflect the light, and the out line thus formed carry out the outline of a show bottle. At night the light passing through these bulls eyes will also illuminate these bright outlines, and the show bottle ap- pearance will be carried out even more fully than by daylight. The lights, as arranged inside the case, are of gas, but where gas is not obtainable, oil will be found to answer the purpose nearly as we'll. The patent also covers the use of bottles with colored waters placed behind the bulls eyes, and also the use of white or uncolored bulls eyes, with strips of colored glass slides interposed be- tween the bulls eye and the light.
 With the old style show bottle, which has been in use for couple of centuries or more, a person cannot see the drug light vixen tho windows are frosted or covered with sweat, and if one is on the same side of the street where the drug store happens to be in the middle of the square, the show lights are not visible twenty yards away.
 With this improved combination drug sign and show bottle no drug store caa have its light hid under bushel. The sign is ce- tached to pillar at the entrance, and, ex- tending out two feet or more, may be seen for more than a mile up and down the street, as the bulls eyes never sweat or get covered with frost. The lower bulls eye in the sign is of beautiful ruby color, eight inches i'll diameter, with a magnifying lens four and one-haf inches in diameter. Above the ruby is one six inches in diameter, with a three and one-half inch leus, and above this four inch amber bulls eye. These bulls eye glasses are of the same form as those used in signal light houses, which are seen from thirty to forty miles away.
 The sign will certainly do away with. the time honored show bottles, long since voted nuisance by progressive druggists who have recognized the fact that they do not comport with the improved fixtures of mod. srn times. Indianapolis Journal.

"simple. Pure and oricinal." !"

"Everything simple, pure ana original for a young girl is prettiest, don't you think so!" she inqulres with little tilt of her blond head and pensive droop of her snowy lids. "There are only three things I really care much about-ivory, lace and lilies. All white, you know. They give one such Q sense of girlhood and innocence, don't you thinkT'
 We'll, they do, of course, but when one sees the special form this girlish innocence takes it gives one the sense of costly extravaganza more than anything else. This young woman's bedroom is hung in ivory white India silk; all the furniture is wood painted ivory white, the bed being hung with curtains made of Q long scarf of lace drawn through an ivory ring suspended from the ceiling by silver chain. The dressing table stands on four curved legs and the long oval mir or is heavily draped with lace and covered with a scarf of the same, thickly threaded with satin rib bons. Every toilet article is of the finest ivory, and instead of having monographs en- graved upon them, the handles signify the owners name by being carved with lilies The fleor is covered with a dull green rug on which is strewn a pattern of the same fow- CTS, and all the upholstering of tho same shade in tapestry with the eternal emblem of peace and prosperity appearing upon it in skilled needlework. Every stitch of this poetically luxurious young persons under clothes is of ivory white silk loaded with lace and embroidered with sprays of her favorite flower. Throughout the season the florist has orders to keep her supplied with the valley lilies, and when they are out of season he must find some other variety to take their place. Exquisite sentiment, of course. All her girl friends rave over her and declare there is something spirisuelle almost unearthly in this passion of hers, but any one who has the pleasure of perusing her papa's check book and examining into his business knows that this refinement of dainty sensuousness has cost the price of great many groceries sold at wholesale.-Brooklyn Eo01a

''I will know if it is she," said he; II must know. If it is really Suzanne she will go to her mothers tomb'
 As he was about to go back, there, near him, stood the same dark shadow going toward the gate. <.
 Madame, mademoiselle, for pity's sake, one word.n
 The shadow heard, but that .oice fright ened her, for she begnn to run swiftly and disappeared from view.
 ssI will know. will be at the station and await if necessary all night. He ran all the way and reached the station, seeing no ono but men on the way; but there was no one there. The train did not leave for Q quarter of an hour, and he waited and watched and he waited and watched again until another one had gone. Then he decided to go home, and there he would surely find out if Su- zanne was or had been out. When he reached the hotel it was nearly II o'clock, and Sr- game was not in their common parlor. Then the father went to Suzannes bed room and softly tried the knob. The door opened, but the room was dark.
 ''She has not returned, :" thought he, prey to violent agitation.
 Just then the voice of Suzanne broke the stiffness:
 "1s that you, fathere"
 A joy beyond words beamed in his eyes es he heard that voice. She was there asleep quietly in her bed and he had aroused her. So he was mistaken. He thanked God in his heart
 "Yes, dear, it is l. I thought heard you cry out"
 "No, father, was asleep"
 "Sleep again, my darling; sleep" And so, glad and treasured, the father kissed the daughter and retired
 Suzanne gavo a sigh of relief when he was gone, and said: "Ho did not know me, hap pily."
 Roger had not been deceived, for it was Suzanne who had been in the cemetery and kissed the cold iron that surrounded the grave that held mothers precious clay.

That evening Raymond returned from farls, and seeing tho game bag he remarked to Pierre:
 If it is pleasant tomorrow will hunt witt, you"
 Pierre did not answer If Raymond had notlced his brothers face then he would have seen look of annoyance pass over 1t.
 The next morning the sun shone bright and the two brothers went out with their guns, and for long tsee kept together, as they had but one dog, but at last Raymond found him. self alone, and as he was little tired he de eided to go on to the keepers cottage and wait there for Pierre, who would be sure to come there for his lunch. But as he passed along by the ruins he noticed outlined against the sky tho figure of beautiful young girl standing on wall, which was so old that it was wonder it had stood so long.
 He was so surprised by this unexpected vision that he forgot where he was or that lie held a gun in lis hand, when the dog saw Q pheasant and made Q movement which threw the butt of Raymond's gun backward against tree, and there was sharp report, followed by rushing, crumbling noise and woman's piercing cry for help.
 The young girl on the wall had sprung as the unexpected shot had resounded, and this MOVeueut StdTCoO UL0 luSeCur0 wall, WHICH crumbled beneath her feet and she fell with and among the stones some twenty feet. She screamed again as she fell, and Raymond also heard ane r cry, that of Pierre. He was aoo far away himself to receive any injury, md very pale he was as he rushed forward, put met Pierre with a deathly white face as hey both reached the inanimate body of the young stranger lying among the stones and lust at the same time.
 "Dead!' said Pierre, wildly; adeadl"
 "Who is she, do you know"
 q saw her yesterday for the first time"
 Suzanne lay upon her back, her arms stretched out and thin stream of blood trickled down her pale face from deep wound in her forehead. Pierre took her in bis strong arms and carried her to the foun- tain of St. Thebault. There he laid her, with her head upon a messy bank, while Raymond wet his handkerchief and made e compress, laying it over the bleeding wound which was deep and severe. Then he bathed her hands, her face and eyes.
