Re veneo Alter Twenty Years.

He was asking the old man for his daughter in marriage. He was talking tremblingly, hesitatingly, says the Springfield Union, as you read of in story books, and the scene was full of color, so far as an irate father and q nerveless young man could make it. Il came the old mans turn to speak, and as he began his face was white with passion and his voice shook with ex- ci;e:ncnt "You want to marry my daughter?" he said. "Ah, now is the time for my revenge. Twenty years ago your father crippled me in stock deal and swore to be revenged, And now my time has come He paused for breath, and the aspirant for the ma;den's hand was about to beat a nasty retreat in the face of supposed defeat, when the father broke forth again: "Yes, sir, swore to be re- venged, and now I'll strike the father through the son. Want my daughter, eh? Well, take her, and may she prove as expensive to you as she has to me. The old man dropped into his chair worn out with the excitement of his plot and the young man tainted.

NEEDS NO PROTECTION.
England's Royal Family Moves About
 Without the Necessity of Guards.

England's Royal Family Moves About
 Without the sity of Guards.
 The news that little Prince Edward of York numbered a detective and constable among his suite of attend ants savored of the ridiculous to those who know with what absolute freedom and safety the children and grand children of the queen move about then own country, says a writer in St. Paul's. The queen herself drives from end to end of her various estates with no more protection than can be afforded by a middle-aged Scotch gillie. The prince of Wales, his broth CTS, and his son perambulate club land and the West End in exactly the same manner as do the most ordinary of Englishmen. Indeed, the prince of Wales is scarcely ever attended by an equerry, except when he rides in the TOW. The princess and her daughters drive all over London entirely unac- companied. save when in the height of the season a mounted policeman clears the road for them through the park. The duke of York takes an early morn ing stroll in the Green park, invari ably alone. while all the royal prin- cesscs walk down Bond street. shop, or drive in hansoms without anyone either protecting or nolesting them.
 Apropos of jlice protection for roy atty the prince of Wales has a funny story a~ainsst himself. He was in Paris. and was strolling alone, as usual, one fine morning, down the boulevards,, Stopping to chat to a friend, he com mcnted with considerable glee on the fact that he was able to go about Paris quite at his ease, and untrammelled by guards, police, or ceremonies of any kind. and that, in fact, nobody knew him. The prince was immensely amused afterward to learn that the French government are not so careless as might be supposed, and that a large staff of espions in plain clothes watch the prince from morning till night, and that on the very day he made the boast to his friend at least score of police were ''shadowing" him at but few yards distance.

 But the Reminiscent odor of a Cigar Was
 Another HIat.er.
 It was at lecture; the room was hot and crowded, and Mrs. Bittersweet noticed that her husband was suffering under a sense of injury, says the Chi cago Tribune.
 What is it, dear?' she whispered, under cover: of one of the speakers rounded periods.
 v Mr. Bittersweet's sniffs became more audible. Its the abominabie odor of perfulnery in the room.' he pufed. I'm almost asphyyiated by it. Why, I can count fourteen distinct scents every time the women about us ap- plaud.'
 70, well, try not to notice it," whis- pered his wife, with that cheerfulness always displayed by the friends of the sufferer in such cases. Do listen to the lecture; 2s just splendid"
 ''Humph; I suppose you like the odor; women always do like whatever costs money. Do you happen to know what is spent annually on perfumery in America alone?"
 No, dear, don't. What is it?''
 ''Um-well, 1 don't remember the exact figures just now. but assure you it is something enormous. For my part l think that the carrying of perfumes into public places should be prohibited by law, and the amount of money which would otherwise have been wasted upon them might then go to- wards endowing an asylum for those idiots who don't know that others have rights in public"
 "Sh-sh! You are disturbing people. The lady in the violet bonnet is looking daggers at you"
 ''IIumph, the one whose handkerchief is poisoned with patchouli; I don't care if she isn't pleased. Say, I think I'll step out for cigar"
 ''Do," said his wife, with a smile, q thought something beside the perfume was troubling you"
 He came back before long with smil- ing face and settled himself contented- ly in his place. As he did so the lady in the violet bonnet, who sat next to him, began to wave her handkerchief before her face.
 Isn't it awful" she whispered to her companion, wherever one goes it is just the same--sOme horrid man poi sons the air with the odor of stale to- bacco; positively 1 couldn't endure 1t if l hadn't some strong perfume about me as an antidote."

Condition of Lincoln's Vice President at
 the Inauguration.

Condition of Lincoln's Vice President at
 the Inauguration.
 Noah Brooks tells the following story in his personal "reminiscences of Lincoln in the Century:
 All eyes were turned to the main entrance, where, precisely on the stroke of twelve, appeared Andrew Johnson, vice president elect, arm in arm with Hannibal Hamlin, whose term of office :7as now expiring. They took seats to- gether on the dais of the presiding off cer, and Hamlin made brief and sens ible speech, and Andrew Johnson, whose face was extraordinarily red, was presented to take the oath. It is needless to say here that the unfortu nate gentleman, who had been very i'll, was not altogether sober at this i'm portant moment of his life. In order to strengthen himself for the physical and mental ordeal through which he was about to pass he had taken stiff drink of whisky in the room of the vice president, and the warmth of the sen ate chamber, with possibly other phys ical conditions, had sent the fiery liquor to his brain. He was evidently intoxi- cated
 As he went on with his speech he turned upon the cabinet officers and addressed them as "Mr. Stanton, g MT. Seward etc., without the offici:l handles to their names Forgetting Mr. Welles' name, he said, ''and you. .sM. rTbo1, o1-a, +o Co1 torney, he said: What is the name O. the secretary of the navy?" and then continued as though nothing had hap pened. Once in awhile, from the re- porters' gallery, could observe Ham lin nudging Johnson from behind, re- minding him that the hour for the in- auguration ceremony had passed. The speaker kept on, although President Lincoln sat before him, patiently wait ing for his extraordinary harangue to be over.
 The study of the faces below was in teresting. Seward was as bland and serene as a summer day; Stanton appeared to be petrifed; Welles' face was usually void of any expression; SpSeu SdG Wlull HIS eyes ClOSCtl, Dcuul- son was red and white by turns. Among the union senators Henry Wilson's face was flushed; Sumner wore a saturnine and sarcastic smile, and most of the others turned and twisted in their sen atorial chairs as if in long drawn agony. Of the supreme bench, Judge Nelson only was apparently moved, his lower jaw being dropped clean down in blank horror. Chase was marble, adamant, granite in immobility until Johnson turned his back upon the senate to take the oath, when he exchanged glances with Nelson, who then closed up his mouth.
 When Johnson had repeated inaudi bly, the oath of office, his hand upon the book, he turned and took the Bible in his hand, and facing the audience said, with a loud theatrical voice and gesture: II kiss this book in the face of my nation of the United States"

ROADS OF ANTIQUITY.
Those Built by the Medieval Peruvtans
 Were the Most Magnificent

Were the Most Magnincent.
 Perhaps the earliest road on record is that mentioned by Herodotus as having been constructed by Cheops, the Egyptian king, in order that stones might be dragged along it for his pyr- amid. In the opinion of the Greek traveller the work of making the road was as great as that of building the pyramid, for it took ten years to con- struct, and it was made of polished stones with figures carved on them But, according to the London Standard, this does not compare in magnitude with the highways constructed by the Peruvians, while medieval Europe was still in state of mi-barbarous disor- ganization. The two principal roads in Peru ran from Quito in the north to Cuzco, the capital, the one alongsthe sandy and level strip of coast, the other along the plateau of the Andes, re- zion of unparalleled engineering diff culty. The length of the second has been estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000 miles. It crossed sierras buried in snow, bridged ravines with walls of solid masonry, mounted and descended precipices by staircases hewn in the solid rock and ran in interminable gal leries along the sides of intractable mountains. Where rivers had to be crossed bridges were made with ropes of stout. pliant osier twisted to the thicl1nessof q mans body and stretched over the stream sometimes for dis tance of S00 feot. These cables Swung side by side, and, fastened with blanks so as to form q f0otway, were drawn through hCleS in enormous buttresscs of stone specially constructed on each bank, and were secured firmly at each end to heavy beams of timber. A rail ing of similar osier material gave the passenger confidence as he crossed the oscillating bridge that sank danger ously in the middle and mounted rap idly at the sides. The great highway was twenty feet wide, and was built with flags of freestone covered with bitumineus cement. It was measured out by posts set up at every league; caravansaries and magazines were sta toned at convenient distances for the Peruvian soldiers on their military ex- petitions; and a regular postal service had been organized by which highly trained runners, relieved every five miles, could convey messages a dis tance of 200 miles in the twenty-four hours. Thcroads were kept in beauti- ful order, the inhabitants of district being responsible for that portion of the highway which traversed their land At the same, time it-should be remembered that there was no wheel traffic to cut up the level surface of the l1ard pavement. There is considerable irony in the fact that it was not till the Spaniards forcibly introduced their so-called civilization into Peru that the famous roads began to fall into dis repair. . 5j

HOW ROUBLES ARE DIVIDED.
Neither Sex Has Monopoly and They
 Vary Chiefly in Kind.

Vary Chiefly in Kind.
 Troubles arc pretty evenly divided, after all, says the Philadelphia Times. A girl may go nearly distracted when she feels that the band of her dress skirt has come unfastened, but think of the misery of the man when the but tonhole in the neckband of his shirt rips open and lets his collar and necktie slide up to his ears. A girl has to fold her hands and wait for man to ask her to go to the theater with him, but when she does go she has the comfort of making the man spend lot of money. That consoles her to a certain extent. A girl has to entertain stupid callers whether she wants to or not, because society demands it. A man has to dance with girls who can't even walk gracefully, because if he did not his hostess would consider him rude A girl carries her life in her hands when she tries to get within rod of a bargain counter, but she can walk along the street in peace. Half dozen bootblacks don't yell: ''Shine, sir; shine?' at her. A girl has heaps of trouble with her complexion and her front hair, but she doesn't have to have a razor go travelling over her face every day. A girl is very likely to spend weeks in planning the construction ot a new hat, but when she does get it people don't sit on it, as they always dc on mems headgear. Perhaps that's be- cauSe q Uirl doesn't leave her hat lvinp around on sofas and chairs.

The First Metal.

Gold, because it was found pure and fairly tractable, was probably the first metal used by man. Copper, it is true, is found as a metal, but only in one comparatively restricted locality. Oc- casionally gold fish hooks have been discovered in graves in New Granada. In mining Q tunnel in Cauea a gold hook was found in 1882 fifty feet under the surface of the ground and beneath what must have the bed of a river. Copper fish hooks have been found in many of the ancient burial mounds of Peru.
