HRS. GERRISH’S GRIEF.

^The C lo u d s a n d S u n s h in e o f a S to rm y D a y .

‘•Maybe I ’d go to Boston with you, W arren , if u rged ,” said young Mrs. G errish, archly, standing on tiptoe to sm ooth down her husband’s nodding «calp lock.

“ I t’s too late to th ink of It—too late -altogether,” cried Mr. G eriish, in his haste , rushing to his desk and scatter­in g the papers like a D akota blizzard. “ W here’s my bank book? Seen it, Ma­bel?”

“ There, W arren, I forgot to tell you. I thought it would be safer behind the •dock.”

“ Safer behind the fiddlesticks,” cogi­ta te d the annoyed husband, as he tipped over the time-piece in laying hold of the missing property; but being a gentlem an, he m erely rem arked im ­pressively tha t ten to one he should lose th e train .

“ I t ’s only eight, W arren. YoiVvo h a lf an hour.”

“ But I ’ve—I ’ve som ething to attend to before going to the s ta tio n ,” he stam m ered , obviously em barrassed.

“ Oh!” Mrs. G errish dropped her questioning brown eyes, flushing hotly. W hy did her husband reject her prof­fered company? And what w as this m ysterious e rrand th a t he would not to il of.

“ Good-by, wifekin. T ake care of yourself till I see you ,” he added, in a friendlier tone, as be jum ped into his ■carriage.

“ W ell, I m ust say!” ejaculated the little lady, frow ning after the re trea ting vehicle. But she did not say it. In ­stead, she set the clock on its legs again, and fell to musing.

She was sorry she had vexed W arren by m eddling with his bank-book, but he need not have been so cross. W hat did he w ant of the book, any way? H ad he not only yesterday told her th a t ho d idn 't owe a cent in the world? And why—this was a vital query—why had ho gone off without her. too preoccupied to snatch a good-bye kiss? Last week he had left her behind in the sam e way. She w ouldn’t have m inded the neglect m much if it had not afterw ard come to ner ears th a t he had gone stra igh t from h e r to Miss Ebbitt, and escorted that young lady to the city. He never had hinted a word about it. Mrs. Gerrish secretly hoped the rum or w asn’t true, bu t it was shocking to have the neigh­bors talking. And now to th ink that, after hum bling herself to ask her hus­band to take her, she should have m et with a Hat refusal! The stroke of nine surprised her just this side of tears. W as it possible she had idled away a wholo hour in a rrang ing ,iho writing-desk, and B ridget gone for the week?! H urry ing into tho kitchen to wash the breakfast dishes, her eyes rested on a quaint-looking m an in tho doorway.

“ M ornin’, Mis’ G errish,” said he doff­ing: his ha t for coolness ra th e r than courtesy.

“ Good m orning. Uncle Jab o z ,” re­sponded she, kindly'. “ Have you come to split me some kindlings?”

“ Sartin, m a’am. I ^nspicioned you ynust be about ou t,” said the village fac- -totum, wiping his bald knob of a crown, which rose above his encircling rod fringe like the seed-vessel of a poppy above its coralla.

“ I knew your husband w asn 't hero to do for you,” he continued, pu tting his ha t on again with a screw ing motion as if it were the cover of a fruit jar. ’“ I ’d been clearing out tho w idder Eb- b itt’s pipes, and I was a craw ling along on her ruff, when Mr. Gerrish drove up fo r Jinny . He didn’t have to wait. On the flat of her foot J in n y is, for all her fuss and feathers.”

“ Did they catch the train P” faltered th e young wife, her face averted.

Tnon her husband d id go for Miss Ebbitt! Uncle Jabez should no t know th a t he was telling her news!

“ Yes, m a’am theycatched it. I asked H iram Blodgett when he fetched your horse back to tho sto re ,” answered [Uncle Jabez, his confiding bluo eyes fixed on the sky'. “ I ’m jealous of a •shower, m a’am. Rem em ber that pealer wo had the last tim e your husband took

J in n y to Boston?”“ Last Thursday, do you m ean?”

queried Mrs. Gerrish, anxiously. T hat m iserable rtimor m ight be truo. She *vas ready to believe any thing.

«

“ I t strikes me ’twas T hursday. Yea. m a'am ’twas a week ago to-day, fo r I was in the w idder E bbitt's stable m end­in ’ her crib when your husband drove in, with Jinny . The w ater was a-streakin’ it off o’ tho kerriago, bu t h e 'd wropiped J inny com plete, so’t she skipped out dry as a grasshopper. She to la him she was no end g ratefu l for his care* and faith she’d o rter been; for if he h a d n 't held her shawl round her so, her silk gownd would ’a been spot­ted hitherty yender."

“ W hat did he say to that, uncle?”“ Oh, he was even with her, m a’am.

‘I ’m the one obleeged, Miss J in n y ,’ says he. ‘You know you 're every th ing to m e.’ I lost the rest, ho spoke so low .”

“ Yes, certain ly ,” m urm ured the dazed little wife, absently shu tting Uncle Jabez into tho shed.

Miss Ebbitt every th ing to W arren by W arren ’s own confession! Could she trust her earsP Eccentric and sca tter­brained Uncle Jabez m ight be, but deaf or prone to mischief he was not. She could not for a m om ent doubt his word* T hat her husband should be seeking clandestine interviews with any lady was scandalous enough; th a t the lady thus sought should be Miss Ebbitt was beyond endurance. In her lieroe per­tu rbation Mrs. Gerrish hardly heard the crash of the sugar-bowl th a t slipped from her hand. W ho would heed b reak ­ing china when the very sky was falling? To be frank, from the tim e she cam e to O akland a bride, Mrs. Gerrish had suf­fered in term itten t spaBms of jealousy on account of this same Miss Ebbitt. She had never been able to forget a jesting rem ark mado by one of her first callers.

“ Am ong our villago celebrities we reekon Miss Ebbitt, our talented o rg an ­is t,” the guest had said. “ Really, Mrs. Gerrish, I m ust hasten to introduco you to your husband’s old flam e.”

“ Old flam e!” the coarse words rankled. One m om ent the young wife would resolve to repeat them to her husband, the next she would shrink Irom alluding to them, feeling th a t if he had once loved Miss Ebbitt, she would ra ther not be assured of the fact. She recalled the nervous headache pro­duced by th a t unpleasant visit. How devoted W arren had been, so grieved by her suffering, tha t for sham e’s sake she could not have hinted a t it,s cause. D ear old fellow, of course he had loved her then, and of course he loved her now! Uncle Ja b ez ’s d istracting gossip could be easily explained. To th ink otherwise was absurd.

“ Jehu! I was satisfied I heered som e­th ing sm ash,” cried th a t simple indi­vidual, pushing the door a ja r with his moceaslned too, and shuffling in, , his arm s full of wood. "T here , there, m a’am, I w ouldn’t take on so about the chancy. Y our husband w on’t feel g e t­ting you a new sugar-dish, bein’ h e ^ in the crockery lin e .”

“ I t breaks tho set, you see,” equivo­cated the proud little m atron , hum or­ing his conceit. B etter pass for a ninny than a jealous wifo.

“ We all have our pesters,” philoso­phized Uncle Jabez, placing the sticks in the wood-box with fond deliberation. “ Now you know how ’tw as at my house last spring. My wifo was sick, and I had a narrow squeak to get along; but now m y wife’s dead, and I ’m out of debt, and I thank the Lord! Hullo! here’s L un t’s team .”

The en tering grocer nodeed affably to Mrs. Gerrish as ne dropped his parcels upon the table. “ W arm m orning, m a’am. Shower brewing. Mr. Gerrish to be gono long?”

“ Only till noon. He has run -up to B oston.”

“ Oh. I supposed he was gone further. Noticed he carried a valjse and got checks for New Y ork.”

“ Guess he w asseeiif’ to J in n y E bb itt’s tra p s ,” volunteered Uncle Jaboz, fol­low ing tho grocor out to bog a ride. “ She’s started for New York. T hey’re tinkerin ’ the m eetin’-house, and she 's free to run off.”

“ And to stay off, for all m e,” m ut­tered the little m atron, sw eeping up the scattered saw dust with a spiteful flirt of her broom. “ Why d idn ’t W arren tell mo she was going? H e’s am azingly coy about speaking of his old love.”

Old love in more senses than one. Miss Ebbitt was th irty a t the least, for all she would persist in dresfing as youthfully as herself—nineteen this very day! W hat ravishing bonnets this co­quette did wear, and w hat airs she put on in the choir, where she always sat next Mr. Gerrish! Often w hispering to him too. W as it necessary for o rg an ­ist and chorister everlastingly to confer with each otberP In th a t caso, ag ­grieved Mrs. Gerrish wished tha t she m ight be the organist horself. W ith a little m ore practice in the use of pedals, she was suro she could play as well as Miss Ebbitt. At all evonts she could have played as well boforo she left her fa the r’s homo and the dear piano. W ar­ren had praised her execution in those days. He needn’t trouble himself to praise it again, if Jen n y Ebbitt was “ every th ing to him .” W hat olse had he said to Miss Jenny th a t day? H ad she been in Uncle Ja b ez ’s plaeo, Mrs. Gerrish felt suro she could have heard every word, had her husband whispered never so softly. W as he a t the present m om ent holding Miss Je n n y 's shawl about her in the oars, as he had held it in tho carriage? D idn’t the w om an possess a shawl-pin?

Ten o’clock, and tho dishea unw ash­ed! The belated little house-keeper bared her dimpled arm s and m ado a feint a t haste; but tho stroke of eleven found her hands still in soapsuds, and h e r thoughts in Boston. W arren called Miss Ebbitt a superior wom an. Pity he hadn ’t m arried her! A lovely life they m ight have led discussing protoplasm and the correlation of forces, if she, tho gay girl-wife had not stepped in be­tween th e m ., Once she had told W ar-

ron as much, and been silenced by a kiss. Yet last Wednesday week, when she got vexed at ohoss and threw thequeen across the room, he had called her a silly child, and soon after had taken his hat and gone out. It was evident enough now what he went for. He went to invite Jenny Ebbitt to ac­company him tho next day to Boston. Uncle Jabez had witnessed thoir return. In plain English, Warren had become weary of his foolish little wife, aud had preferred the society of a reasonable woman. Twelve o’clock! Well, by this time he had doubtless seeu Miss Jenny off to New York, and ho must be on the train for home. She would put the pudding in to bake.

At one, the usual hour of dining, tho

Eudding was dough, and the lam o not alf roasted. W hat ailed the oven?

For once in his life her husband would have to wait for his dinner. Mrs. Ger­rish said to herself that ghe d id n 't care. He had been partak ing of an intellec­tual feast with Miss Jenny ; ho m ust m ake th a t do. But when a ttw o o ’dook the d inner was sm oking in tho w arm ing oven, sho chafed at his non-appearance. W hy should he delay on this of all days, while tho heavens bewailed a furious tem pest? Ho knew her dread of light­ning. He had never before neglected her so cruelly. W hat if—absurd fancy!— w hat if he had really gone on a journey, as tho grocer had supposed! Chiding herself for the thought, sho rushed up stairs to prove its fallacy. Through

f a thering gloom she glided s tra igh t to er husband’s closet, suggestively opon.

W here was the valise that had stood in one corner? W here indeed? The space it had Riled mocked her with its blankness. A new suit fresh from the tailor’s had also vanquished—yes, and the bank-book! In p ity’s nam e, why had her husband neoded that? Had he gone on to New York with Miss Ebbitt? Transfixed with horror a t the suspicion, the m iserable young wife g lared a t the dism antled w ardrobe till roused to phy­sical fear by a terrific thunder-bolt. Then, half frenzied, she lighted a lamp, drew the shutters, and flung herself on the bed.

In tho grasp of th a t m em orable tem ­pest the cottage trem bled like a living thing, and the ground shook as with an earthquake. O lderand braver women than Mrs. Gerrish shuddered th a t day, and she, poor fasting soul, was all alone, and battling with her first an­guish. Oh, t ie cruelty of it! G radually the storm subsided. She grew calmer. Spent with exoitement, she m ay even have drowsed. Suddenly sho started up in a panic. The clock was striking five. The Septem ber night was shut­ting down upoq her. Sho could not confront it unattended; but, on tho other hand, how could she proclaim her desertion to the neighbors? Could she ever tell living m ortal of tho tress of hair hidden am ong her husband’s old letters—a snaky curl just the shade of Miss E bbitt’s? Shrouded in misery, little Mrs. Gerrish buried herself again am ong the pillows. From this prem a­ture in term ent somebody exhum ed her five m inutes la te r—-somebody with broad shoulders, and beard slightly frostod with g ray—her own husband, in fact.

“ Frightened, M abel?” cried he, blink­ing at the lam p-light. “ Why, my blessed g i r l , tho shower is q u i t e over'. See how bright it is!”

He threw back the shutters, and let the sun shine full into her tearfu l eyes.

“ W hat—why—how did you happen to com eback?” gasped she, fluttering from his embrace with the dignity of an insulted sparrow.

“ Contial quory, little wife! I came for my dinner, but I see I was not ex­pected.”

“ D inner!” Mrs. Gerrish choked with indignation. To be put off liko a baby in this m anner was too hum iliating.

H er husband regarded her in sur­prise. “ How ill you look!” said he, tenderly. “ Strange, thundor showers should prostrate you so. D on’t try to come down. I ’ll forage for myself in the pantry. Must bolt my d inner in order to be at the store a t tw o.”

“ At two! I t chances to be past five a lready .”

“ Past five! My dear M abel, how in­coherently you are talking! D on’t tell me you’ve been struck by ligh tn ing!” cried he, in real concern. “ Look at my watch. I t ’s just a quarte r past one .”

One — two — three — four —five—six, disputed the clock below, with lying im- pudenco.

Mr. Gerrish threw back his head and fairly roared with laughter. “ Oh, th a t’s the gam e, is it? So much for my tip­ping tho thing over—taking time by the forelock, as you m ight say. bu t, dearie, how strange tha t you didn’t suspect that the clock was going two hours in one! How absorbed you m ust have been this m orning!”

“ More absorbed than you w ere?” queried Mrs. Gerrish, viciously.

“ W ell, no, Pussy, m ay be n o t,” re­sponded her sublimely unconscious hus­band. with a roguish twinkle. “ You see, this is young Mrs. G errish’ first birthday, and I ’ve been deeply engrossed in choosing a gift worthy of her.

“ W arren!”“ W e’ve beon engrossed, I should say.

Jenny Ebbitt’s judgm ent has beon every, th ihg to mo. We didn’t find every thing satisfactory last week, and had to wait till to-day for the new lot; but Jenny declares that we’ve a t last hit upon tho sweetest-toned piano in Boston. I ’m dreadfully cut up because you can’t have it on your birthday; buf'you can try it to-morrow. Meanwhile, hero’s the bill of snle, m ade out in your name, you’ll perceive. Mrs. Gerrish, allow mo to present it to you with your husband’s love.” «

“ W arron, W arren, you’re lots too good for m e,” sobbed his little wife,

w ith aalf-upbraidinga as wild as her grammar.

“ Nonsense, goosie; no m an created could be th a t,” jested he, highly flat­tered. Ho thought her simply over '1 w rought by the fierce tem pest w ithout Of the fiercer tem pest th a t had raged w ithin he knew nothing, either then o< afterw ard.

Next day, along with the piano, cam s Mr. Gerrish’s valise, containing the suit left a t the tailor’s for alteration. A nd the post brought a letter from Miss E b ­bitt. Tho writer had scoured a lucra­tive position as organist in a New York church; m ght sho resign her form er situation in favor of Mrs. Gerrish?

“ How kind of her! I t ’s more than I deserve, W arren ,” cried tho contrite young wife.

And it gratified her husband to see th a t she put the Litter carefully away in tho very draw er wn:ch held his dead sister’s cu rl.—P e n n S h ir le y , in H a rp e r 's B a z a r . ■W ♦ ---------

THE ASTOR BRO THERS.Tw o Millionaire* Who Confine Their Finan­

cial Operation* to Iteul K » ta te .

Looking out of my window last even­ing I saw the Astor brothers passing down Twenty-sixth street. They wero com ing from their business office, just below Broadway on the street they w ere traversing. H ere they have quite a pretentious brick building, which looks like a banking-house. I t is fitted up liko one. On the inside i t has all the paraphernalia of screens, desks, big books and clerks, which are so common m financial establishm ents. On the outside of the door there are two brass signs, one bearing the nam e of Jo h n vJ. Astor, the other William W. Astor. On the inside each of the brothers has a private office and plenty of clerks to do the work. This place is a singular little institution. It wears an air of repose entirely foreign to a business establish­m ent, j’ot within its walls there are m ore transactions of im portanoe yearly th an in m any a pretentious financial in­stitution. Tho score or more of clerks with their big books are kept busy look­ing after the real estate which belongs to the Astors. I t is said tha t this estab­lishm ent collects in rentals more than a m illion of dollars a year. I t takes a t m uch time and attention to keep track of the property belonging to this noted fam ily as it would to conduct an exten­sive banking house.

The Astors are not speculators. They do not go upon tho street for business or invest m oney in ordinary business affairs. They confine their operations to real estate. I t was the foundation of thoir great fortune which was left to them by tho shrewd and miserly old paren t who made it. Jo h n Jacob As­tor, the elder, was a singular old per­son. He labored and saved; all the money ho accum ulated went into land and its belongings. The m ost glowing business venture could not coax money o u t of his pocket. He believed in land and invested his fortune in it. His life was any th ing but a happy one, and his fam ily don’t seem to have improved much upon it. They live in good shape, th a t is about all. Tney cut no figure in the general life of the metropolis ex­cept as largo property owners and pur-

He has a round, full face, a little inclined to be red, and a sandy complexion. His bro ther ir fully as tall, but not as stout, nor as cheerful-looking. Both of them pass along tho street w ithout a ttrac ting any attention or scarcely a passing ndtioe.

In dollars and cents 1 suppose they are by far the largost real estate own­ers in the United States. They are add­ing to their possessions every day. Their present ventures, I believe, are in the di­rection of the now proporty about H ar­lem, that is just now attractinsr so much attention. N ext to the Vanderbilts, this is the richest fam ily in Amer* ica. How m any millions the) have no one seems to know, yet in 1809 it was heralded over the United States that Jo h n Jacob Astor was the richest m au in the country. He had a million of dol­lars then. Ju s t think of tho g rea t for­tunes that have accum ulated since. Tho Vanderbilt estate has beon built up since those days, while A stor’s estate, then valued at a million, has increased to more than a hundred millions. The fortune ho left to his family is one of tho very few in Now York tha t has been kept intact and built upon by the slow increase in the value of housos and land. —N . Y. Cor.

fo rm ally opened the cam paign for hom e rule in Ireland in th is city la s t n ig h t w ith a powerful speech before a g re a t audienor in Music Hall.

Mr. Jo h u Cowen, ch a irm an of Mr. Olad- s tiy ie ’a election com m ittee, presided a t the m eeting and in troduced the o ra to r , who was received w ith redoubled cheering. The P rem ier's voice, when he began his speech, seemed less powerful th a n form erly. His rem ark s were received w ith cheers.

Mr. G ladstone began his speech bv say* ing th a t Inkerm&n was a so ld iers’ b a ttle . I t was n o t won by a G eneral's tac tics or ab ility , b u t by the so ld iers’ valor. E q u a l­ly were the p resen t d isso lu tion of P a r lia ­m ent an d general elections the people’s b a ttle . Referring to the seceding L ib­erals, Mr. G ladstone said the question was w hether the coun try would re solve, with a s tro n g sense ol justice and sy m p a th y for Ireland, to com pensate for these defections. He was s tro n g ly con­vinced, lie said, th a t the people had re­solved to ca rry the day n o tw ith s ta n d in g th e defection of prom inen t leaders of tho L ibera l p a rty . T h is contest, he said, was fough t a g a in s t L iberals by the officers of th e ir own arm y. The C onservatives were con ten t to leave tho w ork in the seceder’s hands.

Continuing, Mr. G ladstone said:“They call them selves un ionists and us

d is in te g ra te s . They wish to preserve the paper union uuultered. We feel th a t i t should be specially conserved so fa r as i t is valuable. We seek tho union of h ea rt and mind, which we are s tru gg ling to re­store. I t is desirable to speedily close this g ro a t con troversy for the sake of every in te rest iu th is coun­try . U ntil th is is done the position of a ll parties will be deplorable. Public busi­ness will be in te rru p te d an d public confi­dence shaken. Social o rd er iu Ire lan d will n o t be restored unless the people speak clearly , m anfu lly and decisively ; such as the question m erits. [Cheers.] Do no t lot i t be said th a t the n a tio n is u n ­equal to the task of dealing with the question. Some flinch difficulty. Some tu rn th e ir backs in the hour of trouble. Lot the nation no t do likewise. R est as­sured th a t if the nu tio n ’s voice be given in defenso of our cause, when the con test is Bottled and the excitem en t has passed aw ay it will resem ble the old questions of religious d isability , p a rlia m e n ta ry reform and free trade.

Mr. G ladstone did n o t believe t h a t S co t­land was doub tfu l a b o u t o r adverse to hom e rule. He saw enough d u rin g his p rog ress to show th a t S co tlan d ’s h e a r t was deeply and profoundly touched. S co t­la n d ’s will was never m ore b en t upon any w ork o r policy of justice th a n i t was to a c ­com plish tlie p resen t enterprise.

The Prem ier spoke for an h our and a half. At the close of the address the au d i­ence indulged in prolonged and frantio p laud its . After the cheering had subsided a vo te of confidence in Mr. G ladstone and his policy was carried am id g re a t e n th u ­siasm .

I.OIU) SALISBURY AT DEEDS.L eeds, Juno l i t .—L ord Salisbury , the

C onservative leader, addressed ail a u d i­ence ol 5 ,000 persons in th is city la s t n ig h t on the liome-rule issue. F ully 10.- 000 people apolied for tick e ts of ad m is­sion to the hall. L ord S alisbury began his address by s ta t in g th a t in most, cases of an appeal to tho tr ib u n a l of the people there was a cause w ith an a n ta g ­o n is t to defend it, “b u t now ,” lie said, “ we have a very living and v igo rous a n ta g o n is t defending a shadow y, itnmar te ria l, u n su b s ta n tia l cause."

T h e doctrine of Mr. G ladstone 's m an i­festo says the question is sim ply: “ Will you govern Ireland by coercion o r will you allow her to m anage her own affairs?” I t would require g re a t ingenuity to pack a m ore delusive s ta te m e n t in to fewer w ords. N obody has proposed to govern Ireland by coercion.

“ We m ay say th a t c rim ina l law is all coercion, if Mr. G ladstone is opposed to it we m ust presum e th a t he sym path izes w ith crim inals ag a in st whom efforts a re being made. [Cheers.) All th a t we desire is th a t the law be sufficiently business-like anrl efficacious to ca rry ou t its ow n be­hests. Coercion m eans no th ing else in our m ouths, and to com pare th a t w ith tho coercion th a t Mr. G ladstone exercised a t K ilm ainham is a m ere juggle upon w ords.” [Cheers.]

L ord Salisbury referred to th ed i vision ol sen tim en t in Ire land to u ch ing hom e rule. A (p iarter tix a th ird of tho p o p u la tio n ab ­solutely opposed it. He con tinued :

“ I ectio Mr. G ladstone’s desire no t to im ­p o rt religious b igotry in to th is conflict.

A friend who had a room a few floors nearer the ground gavo a sort of an ‘‘a t hjim e" oi\e evening and I was one of tho guests I havo no idea w hat tim e it was when wo got through, but the up­per halls were very silent, dark and de­serted. It was so late tha t I was not quite sure on which side of the hall my room was situated, and as to tho num ­ber of it—that had become ancient his­tory long before. After a vain search I« m ade up my mind that I had either to sleep in the hall or go down-stairs and w ake somebody up, or try in whioh door my key fitted. I preferred to sleep in the hail ra ther than go down and up those stairs, so 1 started a t about where I thought my room was and tried tho key. Somo doors had keys on the other side, somo again did not suit the key I had, and from behind o ther doors came low growls of sleepy disapproval tha t caused me to desist. A t last I struck the door and it opened. I had no m atches and couldn’t find any in the room. I found the bed, tum bled in, and w ent to sleep. Somo tim e la te r I becam e conscious th a t another fellow was try ing my gam e.

‘‘W ho’s there?” I cried.“ Open ze door,” he answered.I opened it and he staggered in. Ho

held a lighted candle in his hand and it seem ed to be very late indeed with him. He had on a dress coat, his hat was well back on his head and his necktie was round under bis enr.

“ Now, w hat the old H arry do yo u w ant?” I asked.

“ Heggur pardon, shur; do indeed; but y ’shee th ’ porter says shis ish my room .” *

“ The porter doesn 't know w hat he’s ta lk ing about. D on’t you see it’s m y room ? D idn’t you notice the po rte r was d runk?”

“ Thash zo, thash zo; I notish shat. Ash we ’er coinin’ up I notish he’s drunk. Shay, old fel, under sh irkum —- sirkuni—kum —stanches, ye know, all one zhcntleiyau can shay t ’ nozer zhen- tlem an ’s sherry and beg your pa rdon .”

“ Certainly, th a t’s all right. Your room ’s in the next block. Good n ig h t.”

“ Good night; shawl rig h t under anirk- 3tanshes—shaw l right! ’Pologize, yo know. Eh? One zhcntlm an—”

I woke up p retty late th a t m orning and found th a t after all I was in some­body else’s room. Things appear c learer in the m orning than they do late a t n ight when a person is tired. I saw th a t if I had nad presence of m ind enough to look at the ?ound brass tag th a t was attached to my key I would have seen the num ber of my room on it. I locked the door of the room I had oc­cupied and w ent to m y own apartm ent, which was some fifteen doors farther down. There was a key in tho outside and the door was unlocked. I opened it and recognized the fellow who had roused me up in the n ight, lying on my bed with his dress suit still on and look­ing verv crimpled. He started up as I entered.

“ I beg your pardon ,” I said, “ but your are occupying my room .”

“ Really,” ho answ ered, looking very sheepish and astonished. “ W ell, I ’m very sorry, I ’m sure. 1 don’t know how such a m istake could have oc­curred. I think the po rte r left me here. The fact is, you sec, I was out with dome friends last n igh t—1 presum e you see how tho m istake occurred. My key m ust have fitted your door. I hope you will pardon the in trusion—it is reallyinexcusable but I hope------”

“ D on’t m ention it. I ts all r ig h t. M ight have happened to anybody."

“ You are very good, and I thank you. I will get up at once.”

“ D on’t do any thinof of the kind. Is there any th ing I can do for you?”

“ Oh, thank you; nothing. If you don ’t mind I will take another n a p .”

“ The room is quite a t your disposal.” “ Thank you again. If my apology is

no t as coherent as it should be I hope th a t you------”

DELIGHTFUL FABRICS.

• In new cotton toilets, combinations ol two fabrics are very prettily arranged, and the fashion affords many ways for remodeling a last summer’s dress, or ol Jnaking use of new materials whose patterns separately are “short length.” For instance, the plaited skirt of pink Ratteen or chambray may be finished at the foot with a broad facing of pink and white gingham, with waist and sleeve trimmings to match ;or a pale blue organ­die may have an underskirt of blue andfunk or blue and cream striped French awn. Dainty imported drosses for

summer wear at the seaside show pretty tinted chambravs, organdies amt other fancy goods, with skirts of striped ma­terials. which arc laid in broad plaits, the stripes formed of the two fabrics, torn in strips and run together. The jacket and full skirt in the back are made of the plain goods, with Figaro vest collar and sash drapery of the stripe. Stripes for more expensive evening toilets are made of wide lace insertion and bands of grenadine, silk canvas or otamine sewed together.

The prettiest fabrics displayed at pres­ent are the chine and glace silks. They are both picturesque and artistic, many of them in the 6tyle of the gay Pompa­dour satteens, only softer and more dainty in coloring. Largo flowers of delicate tints are strewed rather far apart on silk of exquisite texture, the edges of the flowers shading off into the silk. The silks themselves are made in all tints imaginable, faint, delicate colors being in the majority, such as dove, pale water green, tea rose, sal­mon boige, creamy pinks with a dash of yellow in them, blue in various shades, ecru in tones and semi-tones; in fact, the silks are dyed to suit all tastes and complexions, as there are also chine silks with wallflower back­grounds, deep garnets, marine blues,

’ brocaded with dark red figures, etc. What delightful fabrics for teas, garden parties ana the like! In a dovo-gray chine silk brocaded with pink flowers, a flapping Leghorn hat trimmed with tdacK velvet ribbon and blush roses, and a pair of long buttonloss pearl-gray undressed kid gloves, a pretty girl may .look as charming and pioturosoue ns a Watteau shepherdess, or as Dolly Var- den hcrsolfajt an incredibly small oast —AT.

A BOUT ENSILAGE.H o w t o P r e g e r v * a n d C u t I t and H o w t o

B u i l d a Silo.Every now and then we have inqui­

ries about ensilage. Many do not know wha^ it is; more do not know how to preserve it, how to cut it, how to $mild a silo, or whether ensilage is desirable or profitable. We have several times briefly answered such questions. Per­haps it would be well to answer more fully. Ensilage, then, is usually made of green corn fodder, but it may be made of any green fodder that auimals, especially cattle, will eat. Horses, cat­tle, sheep and swine will etU ensilage and enjoy it, though there are excep­tions to this rule. Whatever is intended for ensilage should be cut just as it is approaching maturity, as then it con* tains the most nourishment It is cut usually by machines made especially (or that purposo. Silos may be made of stone, brick or wood. They should be air-tight, and they may be made en­tirely under ground or entirely above ground, or partly under and partly above. If the system is to be adopt­ed we always advi«o the construc­tion of a substantial silo. A temporary one may be used for a trial of the sys­tem. This may consist of a simple trench dug in the ground and boarded up, or it is not oven necessary to board it, if the soil is such that the sides will not crumble. In building a permanent silo so construct it that it will be prao- tically air-tight, and have a cover to fit upon the top of the ensilage and weight it down. Just what the size or shape of the silo shall be must depend upon cir­cumstances and the tastes and judg­ment of the builder. It is better to have several small opes than one large one. In putting in thecrop it is packed down as closely as possible and weighted down, though the latter is not consid­ered absolutely essential. The manner of getting the ensilage out of the silo any one can decide, according to cir­cumstances. Devise a convenient plan of getting at it, in a manner so that it may be cut with a knife made for that purpose.

Major Alvord, in speaking of ensi­lage, which he thoroughly understands, says, first, the cost of preserving a given crop of ensilage does not materially dif­fer from curing the same crop by dry­ing, in a suitable season; but crops can be ensilaged and preserved in seasons when they would be lost if drying was attempted. Second, an acre of corn ns ensilage will weigh four times as much a§ the siiin crop dried as fodder. Third, aji acre of corn, field-cured, stored in £ne most compact manner possible, will occupy a space ten times as great as if in the form of ensilage. Fourth, the chemistry of the silo is still much in the dark. The contents of any one silo filled with crops from the same land, and apparently mqpaged in the same way, year aftof year, will differ in con­dition and quality in different years. Knowledge of the subject is not yet ac­curate enough to prescribe with cer­tainty the procedure which will ensure the best ensilage. Yet any forage crop can be preserved in a moist, fresh form, substantially unimpaired as food, al­though there is generally a considerable loss in the carb-hydrate elements, and a partially compensating gain, both in the percentage of protcims and the in­creased digestibility of the fiber. Fifth, as food for cattle as welhas other kinds of farm stock, ensilage forms a good and very cheap substitute for roots, and its condimental effects are especially apparent, but, the usual ensilage crops fail to fill the place of the root crop in a judicious farm rotation. Sixth, in feed­ing the best results follow a moderate ration of silage, rather than the entire substitution for dry, coarse fodder. Seventh, ensilage, and especially good corn ensilage, when compared w.th dry corn-fodder, or with other feeding.stuffs, produce results so satisfactory as to sur­prise the chemist, or which chemistry can not explain. Eighth, a silo or two, well built, but not too largo or too ex­pensive, are convenient and economical on most farms, to save crops, which at times might otherwise be lost, if not to preserve some crops specially grown for ensilage. Ninth, the extensive use of ensilage upon any farm is chiefly a question of convenience and economy, wllich local conditions must decide.— Western Rural.

MOWING ROADSIDES.W i l y W e e d s G r o w i n g A l o n g t h e S i d e s o f

H i g h w a y s S h o u l d Me C u t D o w n .It should be a part of the road work

every where to keep the weeds cut down which spring up along the sides of the highways, and this work should never be neglected. There is scarcely a neighborhood in which the highways do not mature enough weeds to seed half the adjoining fields. It would be to the interests of the owners of those fields to, have the highways mown; but they fail to do this because the roads are pub­lic property, and they feel that every item of their care should bo part of the public expense. Usually nearly all of the work could be done with a two-horso mower, the scythe being necessary only where there are projecting posts, sharp off-sets in the fence, etc. Thus dono, the work would cost very little com-Fared with the damage it would avoid,

f the road overseers do not feel dis­posed to have this work dono, fearing that it is outside their duties, it should bo brought up before the annual town meeting and voted upon. If properly presented before the vote is taken, very few, if any, will vote against it. It may be well to suggest that not only those who have fields by the high wavs will be benefited, but every man who passes along tho road.— American Jgrieub- tu risl.

Hymeneal.Roos—H o pper t .—The marriage of

Mr, John W. Roos and Miss Amelia Hoppert, of this city , was solemnized Tuesday evening a t the home of the bride’s parents. Their start in m ar­ried life was a pleasant one Tuesday evening, and was made In the pres­ence of a large num ber of warm friends. .

Mrs. Roos is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs Jno. F. Hoppert, well known residents of Chatsworth, and here their daughter has formed about her a large number of kind and loving friends, and she has always exhibited a disposition that is well calculated to make home happy.

At 8:30 the bridal couple entered the parlor, attended by Mr. Wm. Roos and Miss Julia Roos, and took their places before the officiating minister. Rev. Stabling, of Melvin, who performed the marriage ceremony in an .impressive m anner in the German language. Congratulations of the friends present followed, and then all sat down to a sumptuous and elegant repast. This, with social con­versation, music and dancing, caused the evening to soon pass, and it will ever be remembered by those present with pleausre. The wedding presents were numerous and valuable. The following is a partial list:

The Most Entertaining nml Instructive Place We Ever Visited.

During our stay In Chicago this week it was our pleasure to visit the Columbia theatre, where we a t­tended the most instructive entertain m ent it has ever betn our good fortune to visit. This novelty for American eyes is a veritable Japanese village, In which seventy skilled artists of both sexes are illustrating the industries of Japau. One approaches the Japanese village by vestibule, stair and gate­way of characteristic architecture, and hung with a perfect forest of colored lanterns, pictures, and inscriptions The eye falls directly upon the brill­iant perspective of a short street, with open booths on either sideand banners ever waving on their bamboo rods Men, women and children, dressed in flowing garments, and carrying gay parasolB stroll up and down this street. The colors form a kaleidoscop - lc yet always harmonious effect. In each of the booths, some branch of artistic manufacture is in progress. Quaint little Japanese carpenters use their tools with both hands and feet. The worker in shippo, or cloisone enamel, is marvelouslly dextrous turning out the most exquisite and glowiug vases and plaques before tlie spectator’s eyes. Equally skilled and artistic is the painter of Satsuma ware These artists, like the silk- weavers and embroiderers, seem to work almost entirely “ out of their heads,” having no pattern before them, and scarcely eveu blocking out the roughest indication of their ex­quisite designs. The potter swiftly turns his traditional wheel, in the center of which lies a lump of moist clay. Gently laying a finger or thumb upon this wet revolving mass, ihe deft artisan transforms it into a cup, vase or bowl as if by magic There is also a barber, with a formidi- ble array of instrum ents packed away in a neat little portable shop about two feet high, His neighbor is arj-,, tailor, who but recently murried the belle of the village—an olive-tinted beauty with hair like night, and a smile that makes us forget or despise the counterfeit Yum Yums of the stage She presides over the tea house, which is pronounced an exact repro­duction of the genuine article. The beverage served here is without milk or sugar; but it is presented with such an ingenious smile, that these con­comitants are not missed.

We have mentioned but a few of the many quaint sights of the little
