Girls in Paris Streets.

 Paris Corr. Indianapolis Journal.
 As it is is the custom of American girls to 20 about the streets of their city during the day without escorts, they are very apt to follow that habit when they come to Paris. Of course there are regular European travellers from our side who are acquainted with the various customs of all countries and adapt themselves accordingly, thereby escaping considerable embar- rassment in their journeyings. But this is a special year, when fully three quarters O: the visitors in Paris have never, till now, been outside their na- tive states. They bring their provinc- ial habits with them, and are con- stantly dropping into situations in the most innocent way that are often very unpleasant.
 It is an unacceptable fact that the men of Paris place the women who go about alone gazing in at shop windows in precisely one category. They would not hesitate about approaching and speaking to any young woman whose appearance caught their fancy. Now, as the city at this moment con- tains some of the fairest flowers of American loveliness, and as many of these are the freshest and least in- forlned beauties of all that our coun- try grows, the unpleasant incidents of the street that have occurred thus far in the season would fill book of ad- venture. l knew of one most estima- ble girl from San Francisco, with glorious face and a rather flashing style, who was strolling along alone one recent morning looking into the windows of the glove shops along the Rue de Castiglione. She had only been in town a day or two, and had hitherto gone about with her mother, who is her only travelling companion. A good looking and we'll dressed young fellow had been observing her tor a long time without her being aware of it, and when she halted in her walk and looked about for fdcre to take her back to her hotel, she was greatly surprised when this young man ad- vanced, with his hat raised, and asked in French If he could assist her in se- curing a conveyance. The young lady glanced quickly at him and, not un- derstanding what he said, stammered in English that she could not speak French, and that she did not know who was addressing her. Immedi- ately the young man blushed deeply and became far more embarrassed than the girl. In the best of Englis he endeavored to beg her pardon, declar- ing that he had made a very grave mistake; that he was an American and took her for a Parisienne. The girl really thought he had spoken to her under the impression that he knew her, and smiled upon him when he departed, relishing the humor of his mistake. She was not aware of the true merits of the thing until she hap pened to tell of it in the evening at the hotel, and received some we'll worded advice from & friend present not to go out on the boulevards with out her mother or 6 gentleman accom- panying her.

of the layout, and the crowd moved respectfully aside to give the new par son chance to see the game.
 This was not to his liking, for he felt that he had a great burden on his shoulders, and the sooner he began the better; but not wanting to appear too straight laced, he shifted uneasily in his seat, while the rattle of the markers and the click, click of the chips were the only noises that broke the stiffness.
 At last he could stand it no longer, and he stood up.
 "Goin', parson?" said the dealer, scarcely looking up from his box.
 "No, "said the young preacher, trying to think of something to say to the rough men in front of him, turning over in his mind what would be most apt to touch their hearts, and then, as the silence became oppressive and the game ceased entirely, he saw that every face was turned toward him, while a slight frown was perceptible on the face of the dealer.
 He realized that it was now or never. If he failed he would have to ride back over the dreary range and report failure. If he won-ah, then, there was every thing for him 10 gain.
 I just want to say few words to you, men. will not keep you from your play long, but if you'll just listen to me little while perhaps it may do you good"
 From the start he could see his words were not welcome, and that the time was ill-chosen, so he cut his address short and told them he was going to preach that night out in the open if he could not get a better place, and he asked them all to come.
 He had hardly ceased when the rat tie of the mari rkers and the click of the chips commenced, and he was tor gotten.
 In and out of saloons, bagnios and gambling houses he went all day, asking, begging and entreating the men to come and hear him preach that night.
 A dozen times he was asked to play :, hundred times he was invited to drink, but it needed no courage for him to say no. Once man followed him out of faro bank and said:
 "If yer broke, psrson, Fll stake yer for stack. l think we oughter do suthin' for the church, and that's all kin afford"
 In little, rough cabin, the roof of which was hardly six feet high, the Rev. MT. Uzzell preached that night. The room was packed, while eager listeners crowded around the open door and windows, just to see what kind of front the new parson put on.
 This was the first sermon ever preached in Leadville. The preacher handled the vices of the camp without gloves, and was greeted more than once with:
 "Yer right thar, parsoD," or "Yer can bet the parson knows what he's talkin' about"
 After the sermon Uzzell passed his hat down for 6 collection, and after it had gone through the audience it was handed through the door and window, to give those on the outside chance to contribute. When it came back it was heavy with a goodly load of coin.
 From that night the ability of the parson was recognized and he was universally respected. A year later 8 church was built and Uzzell found his dream waking into reality.
 During the three years he was at Leadville he officiated at three hun dred funerals and tied numberless marriage knots. He always carried 8 "gun" and was handy with his hands,

Isolated People.

double file. In pairing time, i. e., during the
honeymoon, individuals at opposite sexes may
find 1t very pleasant. not TO say delightful, to
walk apart from the unsentmental world, two

1t has been well said that the vital principle

You must have heap of embers to make a

A COnjugal Reunion.

Versailles Letter 10 Charleston World.
The logicans who argue that marriage is a
failure can find sturdy REPUTATION here in the
shape OF Uncle Green Morgan, seventy years of
age. who was to-day united in matrimony for
the second time to the same woman, Aunt Pru-
dence, whose kinky black hair the SHOWS OF
sixty-eight winters have failed to whiten or
straghten, and this, too, after each of the par
ties bad been married to Others and had raised
families now grown. The story is quite ro-
nance, gong back TO anti-bellum days.
In 1883, during slavery, Prudence Morgan
the wife OF Green Morgan, of this place, was
sold as q slave to Louisiana planter, separated
from her slave husband, and taken to q planta-
ton In Louisiana. Years rolled on, the war
came and ended, slaves were emancpated, and
peace came. But Morgan never heard of his
wife, and finally gave her up for dead. He mar
ried again and raised family, now grown
Last year the second Mrs. Morgan died. Uncle
Green began sprucing up, and it was whispered
In the church that the old man was looking for
third wife. One day about month ago he
received letter with Texas postmark 1t

well and wanted to Join the old man. who she
had heard was still alive. She casually mentioned
that had married a man named Brown alter
the ar, aud they had emgrated to Texas and
raised family. Brown had died few months
before and the children had gone into the family
business for themselves. Morgan at once wrote
to Prudence to come to him, and she arrived
here last week. The meeting of the old people
was an affecting one. They started In to live
together but to avoid complications concluded
to have another ceremony performed, and this
was done to-day.

Belinda's Vagaries.

From London Judy.
Short waists, long dresses, high hats. and stif
'rills are the newest 'fads" of female French
fashion in Paris.-Daily Paper.
Belinda's hopes are very high,
Belinda's hat is higher
Which gives her greater altitude
Than ladies need require.
Belinda's dress is very long,
When up and down she bounces,
I'm really quite afraid lest
Should t}ead upon her founces.
Bellnda's waist is very short;
In vain would exhort her
To lengthen 1t. Belinda wont,
Because her temper's shorter.
Belinda's fril is very stiff,
Belinda's will is SITTER,
And that's the reason she and I
Are apt 30 oft to differ.

j.. M. Chatworthy, of this city, is the latest
victim OF this process of authorized slaye-trade
and description of the scene which his case
presented forms a fair exponent of the general
method employed in these sales
Mr.. Chatworthy had found il expedient in
the interest Of greater personal security, TO
carry revolver on his person. This fact was
developed in an unpleasant manner about a
week ago, and Mr.. Chatworthy was brought up
before Justice A. c. Horely. The case against

For fourteen years Mrs. Beecher has con-

housekeeping she Is an authority. Mrs.
Beecher would settle the much -vexed and dis
cussed question of servants by having houses
built aud arranged In such away that we shall
need rs few Is possible. There isthe greatest
conceivable difference In the planning and
building Of houses Is to the amount of work
which will be necessary to keep them in re-
spectacle condition Some houses require q
perfect STAFF Of house maids; there are plated
hinges to be rubbed. paint to be cleaned. with
intricacies of moulding and caring which daily
consumes hours OF busting to preserve them
from slovenly look. -..--...,
s-,r. A---., "a PERFECT HOUSE,
according to my idea, should always include In
1t little compartment where plants can be
kept, and have the sunshine and all the condi-
tons Of growth. Peop,enaye generally supposed

have room for enough plants and flowers to
keep you gay and happy all winter. and the ex-
pense is mere trife greater than that OF the
bow window alone. When the means do not
allow even so small conservatory, a recessed
window might be fitted with deep box, which
should have drain pipe at the bottom and q
thick layer of broken charcoal and gravel. with
mixture of fine wood-soil and sand for the

the houses built By our ancestors were better
arranged in this respect than modern ones, with
all their improvements. The sealing up Of fire.

doubtless be saving of fuel; it saves, too, more
than that; In thousands Of cases 1t has saved
people from all further human trials and put an

ded, smiling "but things are somewhat
