cosy and suggestive of letIered ease and
retirement. The books consisted for
the most part of volumes of the "Jour-
mails of the House of Commons,
whether of England or Ireland could
not say. A vast deal of correspondence
was carelesSly streWn about every
where. and | could not help thinking
that any person SO disposed had only to
abuse the courtesy allowed to callers to
acquaint himself with the nature of
these communications. Mr.. Parnell,
Wnen at home, uses the room almost eX-
clusively. The windows here COM
manded splendid view of the noun
talns opposite the valley, stretching
away to the southeast; altogether this
was by far the most inviting part of the
house. Leaving the library, we were
led across the drawing room to the din
ing room opposite, which was like most
other dining rooms, harmony in ma
hogany.
Our guide now brought us to the
room. Here MI. Parnell was reared,
which she seemed to regard as the most
sacred spot of all. 1t was entirely de-
void of furniture, save an old box con-
tanning empty wine bottles that lay in
one corner OF the room. We strolled
out and on past the house and down the
slope to the valley below. The river
seemed to be the very ideal of trout
stream-one succession of falls, rapids,
deep pools and ripping reaches; but 1
believe the fish to be had therein are
few and small, owing, perhaps, to the
metallIferouS nature of the rock fOrma-
ton in the locality. On the other side
of the valley the mountains rose rug
ged, rocky and abrupt, but the banks of
the river We're well wooded, especially
on our side, little farther on, where we
passed through wood containing some
splendid old trees. We continued our
walk through the estate for some miles,
till we came to the far-famed Vale of
OYOca.

MIDSUMMER.

Do you remember, my own sweetheart,
The deep, bright midsummer weather,
When, lonely and loving, we walked apart
Through poisoning fields together:
While the lark sang high DER the rustling
wheat
And the swallows skinned the meadow,
And the dreamy breath of the clover sweet
Was abroad in sun and shadow?
Do you remember the waysides fair
The dew on the grass blades cleaning,
And the two young hearts, with never care
In the world of their happy dreaming?
Oh. the deep embrace of the yearning eyes,
And the hands shy. timid meeting;
The ready smile and the stifled signs,
And the hearts wild, unheard beatingl
Do you remember the old crossroads
Where l watched for you and waited,
While the hay went by in swaying loads
Where the children rode, elatedl
How strangely the dream comes back to-day!
The scythes of the reapers swinging
The smooth, brown Stubble. the piled-up hay,
And the sound of the children's singing.
But love, sometime ere the summer wane
And the long fair days be over,
Will you come to the old crossroads again,
With smile for your waiting lover?
would traverse the wide world, sea and
land,
Iwould brave all the fates together,
To walk once more with you, hand in hand,
Through the deep, sweet midsummer
weather.

A Curious Accident.

A curious accident, which unhappily,
has since proven fatal, befel M. Boutet,
an artist, residing in the avenue Victor
Hugo, on Saturday morning. M. Bou-
tet was working in his studio, when, in

bonnie to get on the roof and pass
light linen covering over the glass.
As the woman was arranging
this awning she slipped and, falling
through the glass, alighted OIL the table
at which her master was seated. Oddly
enough, she sustained no injury worth
mentioning. NJ. Boutet, however, was
not so fortunate. A piece of the broken
glass struck him on the neck, severing
an artery. He tried to stanch the blood,
and failing, ran out of the house in the
direction of neighborlng druggists

BOB LINCOLN'S FIRST FEE.
The Co Advice of His Tutor
Gains Him Practice.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
Robert T. Lincoln likes to tell the
story of his first fee as an attorney.
Old Judge Logan, under whom he first
read law, had always told him not to be
afraid to charge big fees for his ser
vices. "People don't respect cheap
lawyer" said the judge.
One day soon after Mr.. Lincoln had
been admitted to practice he sat alone
in his office when a messenger brought
a note from the Chicago agent of one of
the wealthiest insurance companies In
America asking to have the title to a
certain piece of property looked up.
The young lawyer spent about half an
hour looking into the title and then
sent his report to the insurance office.
Pretty soon the messenger came with
another note. This one requested Mr..
Lincoln to send his bill by the bearer.
The young lawyer had no idea what to
charge. At first he thought it would
be good policy not to charge anything,
for" said he to himself. Il should
like to get that company's work regu-
larly." But he knew Judge Logan
would not approve that sort of thing,
and he didn't want the judge to think
he was needless OF his advice. SO he
figured that, since he had worked only
half an hour. $40 would be good, stiff
price, for it would be at the rate of 5000
for day of ten hours. The words of
Judge Logan. however, rang in his ears,
and with a stroke of audacity that al
most frightened him Mr.. Lincoln finally
made the bill for S25. He felt that this
was an outrageOuSly high fee and was
heSitating as to whether he would give
it to the bow or make out another for
$40, when Judge Logan Glanced to
come in.
You are just the man want to see,"
said Mr.. Lincoln, and he told him of his
dilemma.
II knew it was outrageously high"
said Mr.. Lincoln, "but, judge, you al
ways told me to make big bills, and |
did this more to please you than my
self"
Nonsense" said the Judge; ''give
me pen." He sat down, wrote another
bill, and gave it to the boy.
In a few minutes the boy returned
with the insurance agents check for
$3.50, and a little note to Mr.. Lincoln
thanking him for his prOmptness. and
saying the cOmpany's other work of
this character would be sent to him.
"Great ScOttr' said the young lawyer
to the old one, ''did you make out bill
for $3.50 ?''
''Of course l did," answered the old
judge. 'You don't want to be id

DREAM SONG.

The sweetness of loving is dreaming
Sweet dreams that will never come true,
With the star of hope blissfully beaming
In bright and impossible blue;
Dreaming that vows fondly spoken
Will ever be true as they seem;
Dreaming that hearts meier are broken;
Dreaming that life is dream.
o Fate. awake me not,
Sweet dreams, forsake me not.
Shine on, fair star, in loves beautiful blue,
Dreaming you love me yet
Dreaming you'll ne'er forget,
Let me not waken to find love untrue.
The sorrow of love is waking
To world that is withered and old,
With the star of hope quickly forsaking
A sky that is faded and cold:
Waking when time hath bereft US
OF all that the future endears;
Waking when nothing is left us,
Nothing but memories and tears.
Fate. awake me not,
Sweet Dreams forsake me not
Shine on, fair star, in loves beautiful blue,
Dreaming you love me yet,
Dreaming you II ne'er forget
Let me not Waken to find love untruel

A ShOWerOf Frogs.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
Frogs covered the streets in the
neighborhood of Twenty-frst and Bank
streets yesterday morning during the
rain. They came down with the hard
rain, and an area of aboat four squares
was strewn with them. The frog
shower lasted about half an hour, and,
as some of the sup erstitious people
were unable to account for the presence
of the reptiles. for time considerable
alarm Prevailed in that locality. One
old negro, who was averse to believing
that such a thing as frog shower could
occur, ran wildly about the streets tell
ing his friends to prepare for death, for
the world was coming to an end. The
frogs were about the size of silver
quarter of dollar.

his eyes off the man who was Juggling
the body OF Carlotta, the feather worker,
toward the dark waters of the canal.
He left his tree and followed with the
noiSeless tread of cat and the eyes of
night hawk.
He saw Col. Moro pause at the edge of
the water. Leaning forward with his
burden, he remained stationary for a
moment, and then cast the corpse from
him, after which he watched it for a
while with an expression that mystified
the man behind him. The body of the
unfortunate girl remained in sight a
few seconds and then disappeared
from Menendez' gaze. Col. Moro washed
his hands in the waters of the canal,
dried them ON his handkerchief and
turned awav.

The following day the corpse of
young girl was found at the edge of the
Vega canal, and it was not long ere the
whole city knew that it was that of one
who, without ancestry. had become IA
NOUS as Carlotta, the Feather Witch of
Mexico"
1t was also known that some one had
driven poinard into the girls back,
penetrating to the heart and causing in
slant death. The scene of the find was
visited by hundreds of people, and an
American detective, who had been in
the employ of the republic for some
time, discovered that the body had been
carried from the statue of GautemOZin
to the bank of the canal. Here was
elew which the ingenious sleuth hound
determined to follow up and add to his
reputation as solver of crimes puzzles.
Menendez, who went to view the
corpse, said nothing. He circulated
among the crowd AMI heard much Cos
sip about the girl and her lovers. No
body seemed to place Col. Moro in the
catalogue, though now and then it was
limited that the last person to fall vic

probably not one person in a thousand
knows why leaves change their color in the
fall" remarked an eminent botanist the other
day. The common and old fashioned idea
is that all this red and golden glory we see
now is ca aed by frosts. A true and scien-
:ific explanation of the causes of the coloring
of leaves would necessitate a long and intri-
cate discussion. Stated briefly and in proper
language, those causes are these: The green
matter in the tissue Of a leaf is composed Of
two colors red and blue. When the sap
ceases to flow in the fall, and the natural
growth Of the tree ceases oxidation of the
tissue takes place. Under certain conditions
the green Of the leaf changes to red; under
different conditions it takes on a yellow or
brown tint. This difference in color is due to
the difference in combination Of the original
constituents of the green Tissue, and to the
varying conditions of climate, exposure and
soil A dry, cold climate produces more
brilliant foliage than one that is damp and
warm. This is the reason that our American
autumns are so much more gorgeous than
those of England There are several things
about leaves that even science cannot explain.
For instance, why one Of two trees growing
side by side, Of the same age and having the
same exposure, should take on brilliant red
in the fall and the other should turn yellow; or
why one branch Of a tree should be highly
colored and the rest of the tree have only a
yellow tint, are questions that are as i'm
possible to answer as why one member OF
family should be perfectly healthy and an
other sickly. Naples and oaks have the
bril-, ntest colors-Field and Forest
