What She Hoped.

Not long ago, the Orthodox clergy
man OF New England town was
called from his study in the evening,
to marry young couple who were
waiting in his parlor, bent upon
matrimony. The young people ap-
peared to be from an humble walk
in life, but were beaming with hap
piness.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
there was a pause of some length.
The bride looked inauiringly at the
groom, and he gazed back at her with
happy but somewhat vague express
sion of cOuntenance.
At last the bride stepped forward
in hesitating manner, and dropping
an elaborate courtesy, said:
"We-we are-very much obliged
to you, sir, and we hope that at some
time we shall be able to retaliate!"
Her husband looked at her with un-
disguised pride In her ability to cope
with word of such length and ele-
gance, and the minister bowed the
couple out with as grave face as he
could call up with that remarkable
wish ringing in his ears.

The Hotel Business.

Some idea of the enormous prOpOr-
tiOnS the business of hotel keeping
has assumed in this country may be
gained from the fact that there are
in the United States upwards of 3d.
600 hotels, exclusive OF what may
properly be termed inns and taverns
and what are commonly known as
apartment houses, although the lat
ter are in many instances conducted
as hotels, in that they have COM
mon kitchen and dining room. Dur
ing the past two years there have
been opened In the city OF New York
four new hotels the aggregate cost of
which, including furniture, was up
wards of $4,000, 600.
They are veritable palaces in archi-
tectural design and interior splendOr,
and yet they may be said to be only
in keeping with large number OF
hotels with which our citizens have
for years been familiar. In proof Of
this, and as notable fact, it may be
mentioned that in the municipal tax
levy for the current year the highest
valuation put upon any building, but
one, in the whole city of New York,
is placed upon hotel that has en-
joyed a world wide fame for thirty
years; and another curious fact is,
that the two hotels bearing the high
est assessed valuations are two of the
Oldest in the city, thus illustrating
the high character maintained by
the hotels OF New York for many
generations. North American Re-
