niggers are as afraid Of her as they are
Of the evil one. They won't even pro-
nounce her name if they can avoid it,
and as for venturing in theswamp, why,
Miss Prudence, all the overseers in Geor-
gia couldn't drive any of my people
there. And yet l have heard in many
quarters of darkies who go there at dead
of night for unholy orgies. The popu-
lar tradition is that it is meeting place
for voodoos. / believe I'll break up that
nest. I'll tell you what will do. When
Maurice comes. some night I'll take Jake
and one or two stout niggers, and we'll
go over there and see what's going on.
AS for old Jezebel, I'll burn her alive if
she touches a hair Of Daphne's head"
During the colonel's long speech Por-
tia's eyes blazed with defiance and anger
Once or twice she seemed on the point Of
speaking, but bit her lips as if to re-
strain the impetuous speech that trem-
bled behind them. But when her hus-
band spoke of visiting the swamp with
her cousin the absolute terror which
froze her features was awful to see She
half staggered to her feet.
"No, Jermyn, mol" she cried wildly.
"Do not go in the swamp! Keep away
from it, I beg. implore you'll Don't go
near them. They will tear out your
heart"
"Tear out my hearth cried the colo
mel CONTEMPORARY. "Td like to see
one of that crew tear any part of my
anatomy. Silly girl, your terror Of the
voodoos is something l cannot compre-
bend. Did you ever hear anything so
ridiculous. Miss Prudence? But it is

repeat the rumors of what is supposed to

falls to grooming and shivering. Por-
tia, you used to have more sense"
Though Colonel Marchmont did not
speak unkindly, his Impotence with his
frightened wife was scarcely yelled. He
rose, put on his hat and stalked modify
out of the house.
Later, when Daphne ran about the
grounds, she was closely followed by
Jake, one of the brawny overseers, and
an enormous bloodhound. With Sophie
they formed quite an imposing guard Of
honor.
Portia shut herself up in her rooms,
which now I was devoutly thankful, as
they would have been visible to any one
prowling outside in the hall.

quivering like violin string l listened.

A figure was fitting down the wind

AYERS
Sarsa pariIIa

II cannot forbear to express my Joy at
the relief have obtained from the use
of AYERS Sarsaparilla. Twas afflicted
with kidney troubles for about six
months, suffering greatly with pains in
the small of my back. In addition to
this, my body was covered with pimply
eruptions. The remedies prescribed
failed to help me. I then began to take
AYERS Sarsaparilla, and, in short
time, the pains ceased and the pimples
disappeared. Iadvise every young man
or woman, in case of sickness result
ing from impure blood, no matter how
long standing the case may be, to take
AYERS Sarsaparilla. III. L. Jarmann,

She's Worth Twenty Millions.

Fancy woman about twenty-eight
years of age, quite stout and of medium
height, dressed in rich and somber cloth
ing, pale face, blue eyes and gold
trimmed spectacles, and the Jennsss Miller
Monthly says, you will have fairly good
idea of Miss Mary Garrett of Baltimore,
daughter of the great railroad king and
sister of the present head of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad system. Miss Garrett
makes her home in Baltimore, but she
spends much of her time in New York,
and every summer she journeys to Europe
with her maid, and quite independently
she travels from one place to another.
She is a woman of gentle breeding and
possessed Of great knowledge, not only of
affairs in this country, but in Europe.
She speaks half dozen Languages fluent
~ and is said to DO q walking Poor's
Manual on railroad affairs. She inherited
her fathers love for the railroad business,
and is acquainted with every detail of the
great company which her father founded.
She is we'll posted, too, on what other
railroads are doing, and she is so keen in
her judgment of railroad securities that
she has made a great fortune for herself
BY judicious investment. Miss Garrett ia
a most entertaining talker. Her voice is
soft and low. She has not one mannish
characteristic, and this is quite surprising,
too, for she has been constant traveller
the world over and has been brought
closely in contact with men in business
way. She spends her time Systematically.
To business she devotes q large share; to
society very little, but to charitable work
she is ever ready to turn.

Quite a Difference.

When John Foord was editor Of the
New York Times and Junius Henri
Browne was contributor to its editorial
columns, the newspaper had in its employ
an Office boy whose surname was Gillian.
There are so many Glllams in tho world
that the Christian name Of this one es-
capped the historians eagle eye. Suffice
it to say that he was an Office boy of the
kind to be found only in newspaper OF
fees, i. g., a blase and supercilious indi-
vidual to whom the Chief Justice of the
United States Supreme Court was of no
more importance than an ordinary spring
poet, and to whom the frst baseman of
the New York ball nine was an incom-
parably greater man than either.
One day Mr.. Browne had to wait in
the outer office q few minutes and en-
gagged the hero of this tale in converse
ton. He talked to tho lad first about
duties and then about the people with
whom he came in contact. "How much
do YOU earn q week7" Mr.. Browne finally
asked.
Twenty dollars" replied the boy, a.
he moved off to answer Mr.. Foord's bell.
This rather surprised Mr.. Browne, and
when be was talking with Mr.. Foord he
commented on the princely salaries paid
to Office boys in the Times. Mr.. Foord
rang for Gillian.
"What did you mean by telling Mr..
Browne that your pay was $40 week7"
II didn't tell him got $40. He asked
me how much I earned and / told him
$50, but only get $6."-Life.

It is the fashion in America to bewail

yet An energy which il free, slways at

everywhere ignored. Without having the
census at hand, assume that there 10 .
general average of one dog to two elect
ors in the United States, giving us, in
round numbers, canine population of
100000. Estimating the strength of a
dog at 500 pounds and it is small est
mate-we have an idle force in America
Of $500, ooo, 900 pounds, or a power,
which, like faith, if once exercised could
remove mountains. But 1t is not in it,
mass, but in the simple divisions in
which we find 1t, that its value consists.
Though the inanimate forces are dong
the heavy work of the world, multitude
of minor tasks to which they cannot be
proftably applied remain to be performed
BY man and his domestic assistants. For
them the horse possesses superfuous en-

sive for the poor They are left, therefore,
to this clean, cheap, noiseless, and intel
ligent animal-the dog-who, besides
being out of business-for even hunting
dogs are following hunting mobiles into
oblivion-seems to be specially fitted by
nature to meet the requirements.
There is not an article of merchandise,
from ton of coal to loaf of bread, sold
in any of our cities which might not be
more. advantageously delivered by dogs
than by horses. The noise made by buck
sters, particularly in early morning, in
our residence streets il a source of great
annoyance to the sick and nervous, and
the substitution of the gentler ways Of
women and the silent trade of dogs would
be hailed by them with joy. Nor would
their employment be without certain
municipal advantage, for the litter made
by horses is the most fruitful source of
dirt in our cities, to say nothing of the
great saving in the wear and tear of pave
ments.-Nicholis Smith, Consul, in Sci

Kansas city men who did not vote in
1890 and the late election are to be
sued by the city to test peculiar law.
The charter provides that voters who do
not vote at the general city election
every two years shall be charged with q
poll tax of $3.50 each. The registration
books of the city show that there were
several thousand voters who did not ex-
ercise their right of franchise last spring.
At $3.50 each these men owe the city O
large amount, and as that sum or any
part of it would come very handy just
now the city counselor has taken the
first step tccward collectingit. The money
so collected goes into the sanitary fund,
but it benefits the city departments, as
money that would otherwise be taken
from the revenue fund fer other purposes
is appropriated for sanitary purposes.
