Individual Stationery.

Individual stationery is a notion that
spreads like witch grass in the ground.
Each woman must have something that
is characteristic of herself, something
original, something by which her pri-
vate letter paper may anywhere be
known. A favoritc fancy is black and
white sketch in broad outline, done
with light strokes, and not too large or
conspicuous, Just an odd bit OF some
thing to catch the readers eye slowed
away in one corner. A woman who can
handle pencil has the advantage here,
She will have thorny rose, or heap
of sea shells, or couple OF tennis
rackets hurting cupids toward each
other, or a yacht in stiff breeze, or a
blue stocking bending over a writing
desk, or any one of fifty oddities else
heading her letter paper, Girls In
want of pin money are earning large
sums doing these things for richer
friends. They are never pretty. nor
even tolerable. unless they are done
with half dozen free strokes, and then
they are some times very pretty IN

WALTHALL'S CHARGE.
Graphic Account of Confe derate Attack

commenced falling, being killed or
wounded, but they never wavered, bat
closed up and came steadily on toward our
works. A gallant and handsome General,
a magnificent horseman, mounted on
large, fiery dappled-gray horse, which
made him conspicuous, led them with
drawn saber, who, we learned from Gen.
eral Govan, of Arkansas, was General E.
C. Walthall, of Grenada, Miss, very
distinguished lawyer, now United States
Senator from that State. Three times
he led that grand veteran column,
as it were, into the jaws of
death, to charge upon our works,
and three times they were re-
pulsed. 1t seemed as if half the army
were firing at the General l took seven
shots at him myself, as fast as a musket
could be loaded for me. 1t is not strange
that did not hit him, but I have often
wondered how he escaped, as learn he
and his horse also did, unhurt, with all
those sharpshooters after his scalp. l
have seen many mounted officers under
fire and in battle, but never saw any man
bear himself with more heroic daring in
the face of death on every side than he
did OIL that day. He won the admiration
of his enemies"

GREAT LUCK.
Good Fortune that Came by Chance and

City. AS attorney for mining company,
he acquired claim against it for 81 800 for
services, and when the company failed he
bid in its mine for the amount Of his claim.
He moved to San Francisco years rolled
on and the transaction had passed from his
mind, when he was one day approached by
representative Of Flood, Mackay q
O'Brien, who offered him 100000 for his
long-forgotten mine.
He was not greenhorn and he at once
refused the offer, as he did successive
offers of S25O,0OO and 100000, But when a
member Of the great firm came to see him
with proffers of negotiation, they were not
rejected and resulted in the reception OF

Half Rird, Half Fish.

Count Joachim Pfoll the German Afri-
can explorer, gives the following account
of a mysterious creature seen on the coast
of the Ulanga district: "We often saw an
animal in the water which we first be-
lieved to be serpent, from its move
ments, and from the fact that only now
and then it appeared on the surface for a
few seconds. Once, when we shot at IT.,
we were surprised to see it rise out of the
water and fly away. Afterward we sue
ceeded in obtaining one of the curious
creatures. 1t was about the size of large
tame duck, with black plumage and
q metallic luster. On its wings we motto ed
few very light yellow feathers. The
neck was very long and thin, and ended
in long, pointed beak, at the edge OF
which were two rows of sharp teeth. At
first sight no head was visible, and the
neck appeared to end only in beak. The
whole body of the bird is under water
while swimming, only the long neck be
ing seen. If it was frightened it disap-
peared altogether under the water, or
flew rapidly away. Another popularity
we noticed was that when the bird had
left the water it lay down on bush with
outstretched wings to get dry. The flesh
of this creature has an unpleasant oily
flavor"

III there exists a more superbly situated
village thar the Altai station l am ready
to cross three oceans to see it. The station
itself is q mere Cossack outpost with
seventy or eighty log houses, with wide,
clean streets between them and with q
quaint wooden church at one end; but to
q traveller just from the hot, arid plains
of the Irish, even this insignificant
Cossack hamlet has it's peculiar charm.
In front of every house in the settlement
is a little Enclosure, or front yard, filled
with young birches, silver leafed aspens
and towering shrubs; me through all of
these yards, down each side Of every
street, runs a tinkling, gurgling stream
of clear, cold water from the melting
SHOWS on the mountains.
The whole village, therefore, go where
you will, is filed with the murmur of
falling water; and how pleasant that
sound is, you must travel for q month in
the parched, dust smothered, sun scorched
valley of the Irish fully to understand.
The little rushing streams seem to bring
with them, as they tumble in rapids
through the settlement, the fresh, cool
atmosphere of the high peaks where they
were born two hours before; and although
your Thermometer may say that the day
is hot and the air sultry, its statements
are so persistently, so confidently, so
h~ilariously ~controverted by the Joyous
voice of the stream under your window,
with its half expressed suggestions of
snow and glaciers and cooling spray, that
your reason is silenced and your imapina-
tion accepts the story of the snow born
brook.-George kennan in The Century.

A SUMNER

The radiant summer tide ringed our sweet star
With a girdie OF glorifed flowers,
And winds from the wonderlands fragrant and
far
Lent a tune to the tread Of the hours.
The lnnets sang loud and the linnets sang low
In the blossomiug tops of the trees,
And the crimson cupped tulips were bent TO and
fro
BY the madcag and aerricul bees.
The heather was green on tho low granite hills,
And n silvery vapor was curled
Round the purple peaks, tinkling with turbulent
rills
on the uttermost edge OF the world
On the sands the white walls of n fisher town
shone
And the cross on its crazy old spire,
With ivy in infinite tanglcs o'ergrown,
Was tipped at the topmost with fire.
The red tiled farmsteads, moss mantIed and old,
Rose out of their garden plots gay,
And harvest fields flashed in their glory of gold
Through all of the diamond day.
y happy young lover rode dreamny by
Through the depths of that tranceful retreat,
While cascades of sunshine poured out of the
sky
And blazed into bloom at his feet.
And Pauline, the pretty and passionate eyed,
With n heart that was tender and true,
In her gladful young gracefulness rode at his
side,
Through the buttercups Keeling with dew.
That day is long dead and that land lies afar
Beyond the dark, billowy deep,
But the pale, golden gates in their dreams drop
ajar
And they see its old splendors in sleep.
