From the Atchison Globe,
If you have ever visited at the
home of poor woman you will re-
member that one of the doors opening
into the hall was always closed.
THAT room," the daughter of the
house will tell you, is not furnished
yet. Mother is saving it for the par
lor." Some day you will visit there
again, q great many years after, and
| will be shown the realized ambition
of women's life-her parlor. The
pride that her weather. sisters take
in furniture that cost q sum larger
than the poor woman ever heard of
is not as great as the pathetic air of
pride and awe with which she will
unlock the door opening into the hall
step softly across the floor of a vary
dark room, pull up a blind a f,w in
ches, and ask you what you think of
1T. If you are young and thoughtless
it seems but an ordinarily furnished
room to you. If you are older, in the
light of the satisfied pride that yousee
on the woman's face near the window
it Is the loveliest room you ever saw.
She sits down, after inviting you to
the same, and you notice that she
sits on the extreme edge of the chair,
as though afraid to wear the plush
out. The carpet is of a bright and
cheerful color. Her life has probab
ly been devoid of the cheerfulness
that now shows up in the carpet she
saved so many years to buy. Every
little article IN the room has its his
tory. The mat on the floor was
bought with egg money. The bright
chrOmos on the wall were bought
with little extra money saved by
taking q few boarders. The wonder
fully Embroidered table cover, she
will tell you, was made by neigh Dor .
II can't do such work" the tired
proud voice will say" but Mrs. Lark
in lowed she could make it for me,
if would pay for it in butter" Her
feet step softly on the carpet when
she crosses the room, as though she
WAS afraid heavy shoes were too hard
for it, aud you have an impression
that she would have taken them off
at the door, and walked in her
stocking feet; if you had not been
with her. she wipes her hands care
lully on her apron before she picks
up the few ornaments on the table to
show you. When you leave the room
she puts the chair carefully back
against the wall, picks a piece Of lint
off the carpet, pulls pown the blind,
takes one last proud look at her par
lor and locks the door. You remain
there months longer, but unless
death visits the house, the front par
Tor will never be opened to your sight
again.

Alger and Mosby.

From the San Francisco News Letter.
When Gen. Alger was here few
days ago, he was sitting one evening
with party of friends in the corner
of the Palace hotel, when Col. John 3.
Mosby CHANGED to pass. One of the
formers friends said:
General, you know Mosby, do you
not?"
81 do not" was the reply, as he
glanced at the Colonel, who was just
disappearing through the door; land
am glad of it,"
"Why?"
"Well, 1 never admired his method
of warfare. When 1 was a Colonel of
cavalry had a brush with Mostly
men. and six of my boys were cap
tured. We drove them back, how
ever, and gave them q hot chase
through the hills. We pr essed them
80 closely that they had to scatter in
order to escape. When they found
that they could not retain their pris-
oners they shot every one of them,
and one evening We came across the
bodies of our six comrades, each cold
in death, and with a bullet hole in
the center of each forehead to tell the
tale. 1t was cold-blooded slaughter,
and never forgave Mosby for per-
uniting such q cOwardly act"

A Gold Mine on a Roof.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Three thousand dollars for an old
tin roof would be a pretty steep price,
but the man who gets the battered
roof from the old Tabernacle church,
at Broad street and South Penn
square, which is now being torn away,
for that sum will be in great luck.
Some years ago the paint was scraped
off the old roof and yielded $1,000 in
fine gold. 1t Is almost certain to yield
as much this time, The gold comes
from the mint.
When gold Is being coined a con-
siderable quantity of it voIatilizes
with the smoke through the chimney.
falls. Much of it falls on the roof of
the mint; so much of it that the off
Gals save even the water that falls
upon it during a shower. All the
drains from the roof are connected
with large watts in the cellar of the
mint. Before the water finally gets
t. the sewer it is drained through
many blankets and sieyes which re,
tain the gold.
Notwithstanding all these precau-
tions, the gold that is annually
washed into the Delaware from the
mint Is worth thousands of dollars.
Every particle of dirt swept up about
the mint is carefully stored away
with the washings from the root, and
once every year it Is sold to the high
est bidder, as it cannot be used at the
mint.

Mr.. BIaine's Health and Intention.

DETROIT, Mich July 23.-The Tri
bure published the following: Capt.
VIM. A. Gavett, of this city, yester
day received al important letter from
J. II. Manley, of Augusta, Maine, in
response to letter written by him on
the 18th instant. The subjects of
inquiry on the part of Mr. Ga
vett were the health OF Secretary
James G Blaine, and his attitude
affecting the earnest desire of the
multitude of his admirers in the Re-
publican party that he become it's
standard bearer in 1892. The replies
are especially significant when 1t is
remem bered that Mr.. Manley has for
years been a warm personal friend
and the political confidsnt and ad.
wiser of the distinguished Secretary OF
State. In effect, Mr.. Manley as
serts that Mr.. Blaine is almost
fully recovered and that he
will return to Washington in the fall
with all his vigor and strength OF
both mind and body. He further
states that Mr.. Blaine can not become
a candidate for the republican nomi-
nation, but that, In his opinion, if the
republican party wants him for stand
ard bearer in 1892 all 1t has to do is to
nominate him and that he will &C.
cept.

When a Man Pops.

From the Philadelphia treSS.
A girl OF society" is now all ready
to plunge into the waves of another
season out of town. On, the moon
light, the blessed moonlight, and the
nights for it are coming. Where
would the summer girl be were it not
for the moon? Along the beach, the
sand turned to silver instead of gold,
the water white, the lap of the incom-
ing waves like the soft clash of
muffied silver cymballs! Never des-
pair of your man till you have tried
him by moonlight, and never be sure
of him until he has proposed again
by day. Girls should be generous in
this way. They should consider
how likely man is TO propose be-
cause moonlight and the sob OF the
sea make proposing imperative. He
may not want to marry you, but he
wants to hold your hand and tell you
you are his star and feel noble. 1t is
q good starter, of course. If you
meet him next day with shy droop
OF the lids, he may remember about
it, and feel like doing it again pro-
posing, L mean and If he does you
may begin to feel sure of him. Oh
course, we all know that a really self
respecting girl will not flirt on the
rocks or the beach with just any body
If he proposes it's all right. though
you should be too liberal minded and
prOvident to accept him.
If you do accept hun he Will prob
ably be awfully scared and take you
home at once, and wonder what the
| dickens he did IL for. Men are &C
queer. You must be shy and not
know your own mind. Then he will
try to explain your own mind t.
you, and that is always interesting
1t all must be vague, delightful
dreamy, and, above all things, moth
ing must be settled. al the romano
is over directly things are settled
and you must either go home or tall
about housekeeping, and of cOurs
that won't do. Moonlight PROPOSAL
must always be taken seriously. The.
may be sort of beginning, as it were
but you must be too high-minded t.

RAN AND CsOsSrIE.

Pay cars are familiar sights on American
railways, but this country has not yet en-
ployad the locomotive in banking opera
tions. One Of the New Zealand banks has
a special car which visits the rural districts
cashes checks and receives deposits. The
experiment is said to be profitable, and is a
great convenience TO settlers who would
otherwise DO compelled to leave their farms
and visit town on numerous occasions. New
Zealand and Australia are frequently con-
founded, despite their geographical isolation
and the marked differences in their histories.
The enterprising bushrangers of former
days would not have encouraged an Austria
lian line to repeat the experiment tried by
New Zealand capitalists. America, how
ever, is not in a position to throw stones.
Were she to do SO, Australian contempora-
ries might allude to divers train robberies,
not all of which occurred west Of the Rock
les, nor even of the Mississippi.
