THE COUNTESS AND THE sAUERKRAUT.

Counts come chiefly from the Potomac
and Chesapeake. Bulls and heifers are
much cheaper, and may be had down to
two dollars or one dollar each. Common
nondescripts, mere turtles of doubtful rela-
tionship to the aristocratic terrapin fam
lily, are sold at fifty cents apiece President
Harrison is trying to learn to like terrapin.
Vice President Morton is very fond of
them, and spends more money in a year
for terrapin than some families do for rent.
food and clothing.
Senator Stanford is another slave to terra
pin. He said when he first came 60 Wash
ingtou, and mad his first taste OF terrapin,
that he would never try the dish a second
time. That is what all tyros say, but
they do taste again and again, and
soon surrender to the insidious charms of
the most costly delicacy known TO our
American markets.
Mention Of the senator reminds me that
his beautiful daughter, Matte, is the queen
OF the market, in the sense that she is the
most admired and perhaps most talked
about of all the regular habitues of the
place Three times a week, at exactly 1890

and are generous people. II pretty Matte

One may see here in the morning half
the well known women OF Washington.
Not many men come TO market An ex-
ceptiol Is found in the case of Senator
CockreI, who comes two or three times
week. with bis cid slouch hat well down over
bis eyes and CARRYING an enormous BASKET
Senators Henderson and S5ockbridse often
come TO market, too. but Cockrell is the
only public man | ever saw carrying his
own basket
Once IN a while, VIXEN there are orders Of
unusual importance 70 give, Mrs. Harrison
drives down to market. She buys rapidly

market merchants say Il So or 500 order

Sometimes Senator Stafford buys 500
worth OF stuff n one day all through one

executive mansion the following order was
filed: Ten dollars worth OF mushrooms,

hftecn dollars worth OF straw berries, twelve
dollars worth of asparagus, three dollars
worth of celery.
Sir Julian Pauncefote goes to market
occasionally. but more TO satisfy his curl
osity than for business purposes. Count
ArcO Valley. the German minister, used to
ride to market in state sending his foot
man ahead with big basket to make the
unimportant purchases, the count himself
attending to the reasts fowl, oysters and
flowers. Many people come to market to
see the flowers and for nothing else The
flower show here is one of the finest in the
country. The most noted grower of roses
in this part OF the world is Mr.. Durfee,
clerk to the senate committee on finance,
who Is said to know more about the details
of tariff bills and rose growing than any
other man in America. His stand in the
market is rendezvous for flower lovers
and women of fashion.
Many society danes come to market be-
cause it is an easy way TO get the gossip of
the day, the stalls and aisies primarily de-
voted to beef, pork and potatoes being al
most as much used by purveyors of the
tid-bits Of society. Washington girls have
pleasant way Of taking their admirers
out for morning walk, steering them to
the market to see the flowers, and walking
away with fine bouquets for their pains.

member of the diplomatic corps who has

B, a beautiful little woman with black
eyes and kinkly, curly black hair, the
daintiest of figures and the most bewitch-
ing manners, who fairly divides the hon
ors with fair Miss Mitchsll. The little
countess does not visit the market to buy,
only to look and taste. She loves to sam

railway travel or to go out with Miss
Baby in her own little carriage they are
of great service in keeping the milk
warm, and also, as they are knitted
double, to offer protection against break

but are not SO serviceable as the knit
ted ones, as they do not fit SO closely to
the bottle.-New York Times.

A Boon for Bachelors.

The advantages of a pocket that has
no sewed seams and cannot rip and that
is neat and smooth in the garment are
such as will be appreciated by every
masculine reader. Such pocket is the
invention of an ingenious Yankee, who
calls his device a safety seamless pocket.
The popularity of these pockets is that
they are woven complete in one piece
No stitching or sewing is necessary to
make them ready for use, but they are
turned out by the loom in the exact form
in which they are required for trousers

Sometimes it happens that deposits are
made and, strange as it may appear, to-
tally forgotten by the owners. A remark
able case of this description came before
the late Vice Chancellor Malins, in which
it appeared that a lady died at Marseilles
at the great age of %, who, although en-
titled to 956,O in the funds, and Co more
than 10000 accumulated dividends, was
constantly borrowing money from her rel
atives; from which it may be inferred that
this large deposit had escaped the lady's
memory.-Chambers' Journal.

The Washington market covers an en-
tire block, ard under it's roof perhaps TO-
600 or 1900 people may be seen at one
time engaged in buying and selling the
countless number of articles which 60 to
make up the modern larder. This is with
out doubt the largest market in the coun-
try, and it is certainly one of the most
picturesque and interesting Nowhere
else can a more satisfactory study be made
of the science of catering TO mans appe-
tite--of the wonderful ingenuity which
man has shown in utilizing everything
that grows in land or water, or flies
through the air, or crawls or exists any
where in the universe for the purpose of
satisfying his desire for something new
and savory to eat.
The Capital City is fortunately situated,
so far as the good things of life are con-
cerned. 1t is in the midst Of fruit, fish
and produce region as fine as any in the
land. The fertile fields of Maryland, Della
ware and Virginia fill the hucksters'
stands with all that is tempting in vege-
tables and fruits. The Potomac, the Ches-
apeake and other waters, both salt and
fresh, contribute oysters clans, crabs, fish
and terrapin. In fact Washington is the
center Of the terrapin trade. They are in
great demand here, and the taste of Wash
ington in terrapiD. sets the fashion for the
remainder of the country.
Terrapin vary more in price than any
thing else sold in the big market. They
run from four to eighty dollars dozen,
and from fifty cents to seven dollars apiece,
according to size and quality. Terrapin
are known as bulls, heifers and counts.
Besides, there are ''sliders," which are not
terrapin at all, bu<i which are frequently
made to masquerade as such. Counts, of
course, are the aristocrats of the terrapin
family. They are worth from five to seven
dollars per count, which is more than can
be said of some of the human aristocracy
bearing the same title

HAPPY OUTDOOR HUCKsTERs.

The most interesting feature of the mar
ket show are the colored people. They
own none of the stands in the market
proper, but carry on an enormous trade on
the sidewalk and in the street. Quaint,
curious figures many of them are. The
women are usually the bosses. 1t appears
to be one of the traditions of the negro
marital institution that ode ole man"
shall bow the knee to ''de ole oman" At
any rate, at market we almost invariably
find the women in command. They sit on
the pavement, watching their wares, usu-
ally with a charcoal stove near by, inviting
passersby to purchase, cracking jokes with
each other, laughing immoderately thereat
and issuing orders to their husbands when
occasion requires. The wife keeps the
purse too.
These people are hardworking strug-
Cling truck farmers. Many of them own
two or three acres of ground in Maryland
or Virginia, perhaps ten or twelve miles
from the city. Not few of them have
bought or leased land of their former own
ers. They must get up at l or o'clock in
the morning load their wagons and drive
through the mud to the city. As a rule
the whole family comes along. The house
hold for the time being is set up on the
pavement. There is nothing the colored
people love better than warmth, and ths
charcoal stove is made the center of the
family group. Here the midday meal is
cooked and served; here the women knit
and sew and nurse their babies: the moth
er darns stockings and sews buttons on
her pickanninies' trousers.
In one family group | saw boy studying
in a spelling book, with his toes TO the
charcoal stove. Such rickety old horses
and wagons as these people use are prob
ably not to be seen in any other large city
in this country. The clothing which they
wear is as picturesque as two decades Of
wear and patching can render human ap

TIE SONG OF THE BREEZE.

Glad and joyous is the song
Which the breezes bear along,
From the fair elysian bowers,
Perfumed by thousand flowers.
Sweet and low the melody,
Bringing tender Thoughts of thee:
All! my heart is all aflame
When it softly breathes thy name.
Through the blossoms of the trees
Comes the richly laden breeze,
Stops to kiss the violets,
Murmuring Love meier forgets."
Though unseen, yet ever near,
Thou art, In the spirit, dear;
Earth cannot SO far remove,
But the way is winged by love.
To my ear the sweet refrain
Brings the gentle breeze again;
Sweeter song can never be
Than the one of love and thee.
