I Letters from Democratic Repre K--a sentatives and Senators READ AT A liEKTING OF THE NEW HAVEN, CONN., ASSOCIATION. New Haten, Conn., Dec. 12 —At a meeting of the New Haven Civil Service Reform As sociation to-night a motion Commending Prosi dect Arthur's policy was passed and letters re ceived from Democratic Congressmen and Senators were read. Three queutions were sent out: 1st—Does the civil service reform act of 1883 relieved members of Congress from importunities of >ffice seekers and give more time for official duties? 2—la the act affective? 3—Do you favor the repeal of the act of 1820? To these questions Congressman Mitchell replirt: To she firyt 'vves": to the tecond he sas» "1 ϋο ut think it meets with that hearty cooperation desired by members of the Civil Jervice Reform Association; to the third he ansaers "see." Abram S. Hewitt answers the first question by Btating that "the act ot 1883 iu no wi«e re lieved him, but this was due in part to a change of administration premised by the re cent election and while the Kepablicans were in power I as a Democrat was not troubled by office teekere;" to t'ie eecond question he says he believes that the civil service is working well, and the third he answers "yeB." Senator George H. Pendleton writes: "The law nas already accomplished much good in es'.abiiebuig a merit system, and the time of members of Congress Is less occupied by office seekers." Ilia expectations have been more than realiz d. "I think,*' be says, "we m»y bave the fullest confidence that the President elect wilt iu his new field of duty be as faith ful to the principles of this reform movement as he has shown himself to be while mayor and governor, and that he will rigidly enforce the provisions ot law now on the et&tute buok and gradually extend their application to the whole subordinate non-political Bervice. As the necessity for additional legislation shall appear it will be promptly and intelligently r. commanded. The syssem bas grown rapidly iu favor with members of Congress, and in this I think they only reflect the views of their constituents. The beneficence of the reform will surely commend it more and more to tho good te η su and patriotism ot the people and its criminal friends have every reg ion to be en couraged, bat this encouragement should only stimulate them to increased exertion MRS.

The result of last night's game did net surprise those who have watched the playing of the Granite Citys in previous games, although it was expected that the Deerlngs would hold them in little better play. The Granite Citys are a tine appearing body of players and are hard workers. It is one of the best appearing teams that has ever visited this city» and considering the fact that they have no home rink in which to practice, their playing is wonder·» tul. Last night they were apparently at their beet, and after watching their play for s few moments lb ceased 10 be a wonder that they have downed last Winter's ehampions so many times. They ar· tlierodgh polo flayers and perfect gentlemen,—a combination th^t always meets with a co dial re ception In this cit>. There was no kiokiug, no loud cries of "fonl" in the air all tbe time, and but few moments were lost in repairing skates. It was a good game. The men were called into position at 9.03, and the rush was captured by tbe Deerlngs, After three minutes'plav, Patterson, who by the way is one of the b-st polo players out won the goal for the Granite City·. The next goal was won bv Locke in five minutes. Thj last goal was a hard fought I one. A perfect battery was kept at work before I M as ter ton, but for ten minutes be kept the ball back. Locke at last got a good eleau sbot aud sent the ball spiuuiug by him. The JDeerings worked i hard, but he Granite Citys rather outplayed then. S one un just criticism was made on the playing of some ot the members of the Deeriugs but spec tators should remember that it makes a great deal of difference in a man's plajing when his club is forced to play on the de'ensive, as they were last night. The game was a satisfactory one as far as a line exhibition of polo playing went, aud the Deer iugs take their defeat like men. The time of the game was 'JO miuuies. NOTES. The Excelsiors be*t the Nationals li to 0. C. Hanson got the first goal; and True the other two. Josh Loveltt was referee. A new polo club calieJ the New Englands, with S. L.

Orne of the Salems all tend to &how that be is keeping up his splendid reputation as a first olass player. He is one of the very best players this city has produced, it is the testimony of many gentle men who bave witnessed games in both Maine aud MaaaiifhiiiiAttii that nn thA nam* cnrulltlanR hMt games are played in Maine, and that no games qual to some of last Summer's Forest city ve Old Or chard gauies are played In the Bay State.

Τ II ε: PRM8B. *ΑΤϋUDAY MOUSING, DEC. IS. The movement to investigate the employ ment ot deputy marshals at tbe October elec tions In Ohio was set ou fo, and each is accusing tbe other of stealing the envelope containing the bal lot* which were subsequently chat ged. It Is Tery likely that both of them had a hand in it, and tbat each of them it tcliing tbe truth so lar as the other is Concerned. From Carter llarr soi· down, Democratic official· in Chicago are, with possibly a few excep tions, λ had lot. Their accomplishments are chiefly of the sort that fit men to adorn a penitentiary. Préparations are a'teady akiug In Phila delphia for tbe ass;m!)lage of the I terna tional Medical Congress in 1887 This witl pr .fcably I,e 'he largest assemblage of pro fessional men ever brought together, stuce there is a ver» strong desire among Euro pean a: d Orient a1 scieut fia uieu Ό see Ainar'ea, and the vast army of American doctors will be oa baud in lu;l force to see the I ο;is from acio.-s the water. Or. Aus tin Flm', of N>. w York, the eminent physi olog'st, will be'nominated for president, and the official languages of the congress will be as at Copenhagen last year, E' giidh, French and Geimau. Cleveland'» latest callers of note are Col. Vila who presided over tbe Chicago con vention, and William C. Whitney, tou-ic Ihw of Setiator-elecl Payne of Onto. Both of theiu are credited with aspirations for cabinet positions. Mr. Whitney is the man who is credited with having pereuarted Van derbllt to pool a Urge sum into the Democrat ic campaign fund. He is a ton of the late General Whitney of Boston, was graduated at Yale in 1803, has been Corporation Couu eel ot New York ciiy, is one of the leaders of the County Democracy in opposition to rp.w. η. ι s a- J S. Attorney General. Mr. Whitney is one of tlie ht-Β', kind of Democrats. A number of Rocktaud Democrats have prepared aud aie distributing ttie following circular: To the Democratic City Ommittee of Rockland 111 ν-, w of the inauguration of a Democratic Presi dent, It is generally conceded by all parties that man; of the present office-holders will vacate their plac aud Democrat* be appointed in their stead. An ι as it Is a fundamental principle of the Demo, ο atic party that pub ic officers should be servants of tue f eop e. aud se far as practicable, sbeuld be ■e cted by them we the undersigned. Democrats ΟΓ Rocklaud, respectfully ask yon to call a meeting Of the members of said party, at such a time ri in j >ur j udginem may seem proper, that there may be ba ι a ire a in erchange of opinions in regard lo the choice of persons to fill the local offices of this ciiy, without regard to any previous action in the matter, and that you give such notices and m ike such ar rangement» as will insure a full, free and fair ex pression of their choiee. A mass meeting to fill the offices is cer tainly a novelty aud there will be a good deal nf interest to see how it will work. We ■u«pec! that it will be one of the noisiest m-etiugs on record, and it will be a wise pre cision to have the police stationed within hailing di>tance to that the; oia; be bad quickly when wanted, as they surely will be. Another precaution which it will be well to take wilt be to ascertain beforehand Presi dent Cleveland's idea in regard to this meth od of filling the offices. It may be that he will pi»fer tveeltci the officers himself rather thin hav·· them selected for him by a viva voce vote lu a Democratic maes-meeting. He is qui'e familiar with the character of the mass of tbe Democratic voters, and he may not regard a certificate of honesty, capacity and fitness coming from them as worth much. The New Treaties. It appears that the administration has not bee idle during these recent months re garding the commercial relations of ibis couutty with He neighb re on the Western continent. Tbe President has prepared a surpiise for tke busiuess interests of the na tion in ι he very direction in wheh it bas long been insisted that somt thing ought to be dor.c, the institution ot closer comra'r cial relations with the cuun'rl· β lying adj;t cent. It looks as if the administration had CCI um ιυ Di^rûi Ά milieu un ivir. eiaine Dy initialing a policy which h» has steadily ad vocated tor several years. \V« do not. say thai li e treaties negotiated and lu progrès are, iu leima, such as he would favor; but no m\n haï mure clearly and 'urciidy pieouted the JStroiig desirability of esiHt>iislain^ a market tor American products iu ths Amer ica» countries which nnw buy wh.it they —proptes across the sea. A reciprocity treaty with Mexico has al ready been ratified by the Senate and will go I nto fleet whener the H use ot Represent a tives takes favorable action ia the matter. Already at this session treaties with Spain and Nicaraus;ua have beeu laid before tho Seiiaf. Two others made with Saa Do mitigo aurt Hawaii bave been signed and will :«ou be submit'ed to the same authori ty, two moie are iu process of negotia tion wi'.b San Salvador and Guatemala, and still another is proposed with the United Stai> s of Columbia. The treaty wiih Nica raugua relates chiefly to the subject ot an inter-oceanic canal across that country, but a'l the rest are concerned chiefly with new stipulations regulating the conditions of trade. The pi Jlcy of presenting so many treaties for cuesideratloK a. otcé may be questioned. There are interests, no doubt, which s re af fected, or t ill be affected, unfavorably by eaDh of them, and it is p"SSib'e that these ■nay combine in a way to prevent favoraole action in any case. Already the conditions of the treaty with Spain have aroused cer tain Interests to active opposition, an oppo sition which it is reported influences unfa vorably the prospects of confirming legislation en the Mexican treaty, which were before considered good. But it is too soon to say certaiuly what the effect of these treaties will be in the gross. Opinions may be much •modified when they are more thoroughly studied. The sugar growing interests of Louisiana and the tobacco growing and cigar manufacturing interests are already protest ing against the Spanish treaty with much vehemence, and at least one of these Is strongly ORpoied to the Mexican treaty. Tue eurloua circumstance» Is observed that the free-tradeis an'] the high tariff advocates of the Pennsylvania school are both oppo-e.d to three reciprocity treaties; the former be cause the only revenue r· form they are wil ling to recognize is a reduction on abolition of duties accordiug to the requirements of a simple revenue policy, the latter because ai.y reduction of the tariff on specific articles im· plies a necessity of change which they do not want to have admitted. These treaties pr· sent In concrete form the question whether the United State» will sanction and «idopt a policy ot régula1 ing im port duties by rtcipioeity treaties, making a separate acd distinct ariangement withoach nation with which we wish to cultivate trade. There are advantages and disadvant ages in such a policy, all of which will soou be set forth with a particularity that wilt be wearisome to those who do not take intHrest In what is really one of the most Important concerns of the nation at this time. Some say why not pot sugar on the free list at once so that we may import it from all countries on the aame terme? But if this were done it might not. be so easy to obtain the modifica tion of the law» of other countries which is necessary to give American productions a fair chance In their markets. The basis of a reciprocity treaty Is a mutual advantage to be gained. Our manufactures are developed to that degree that their power of production exceeds this na'iou'a wants and power of consumption. These treaties propose one way of opening new markets. Very likely this method is attended with some disadvantages. The question is wheth er the advantages in the aggregate will off set the disadvantages and contribute a bal ance to increasing the common prosperity. It is a question of practical statesmanship which cannot be sol red sa'isfactoriiy except by ibe application of extensive knowl edge and sound principles. It is doubt ful whether during the present short .^iuù or oou^icbB any decisive settlement will be reached. New Publications. ILLUSTRATED BOOKS. Rev. Dr. Henry C.

It goes without laying that the devotion of so much talent to the production of a bean ful book has not failed to make one which abounds in interesting features of a superior kind. Among the gilt books of the year this has qualities which will especially recommend U to peopie of fine sensibility and cultivated taste. 8usle Barstow Spaulding has added another volume to the series of beautiful books about flowers, which she has compiled. The new one is entitled "Flowers from Glade and Gar den." She has collected some of the best poems on common flowers, and these are print ed in connection with large and sometimes very beautiful colored plates, after designs by Miss bkelding, made for tbia work. It is a beautiful book for the season, or for any sea son. In several instauces, a verse of a poem is given in fac simile of thi author's manu script. DELIGHTFUL VOLUME3.

Mr. Davidson is a courageous republican who believes in the peopli, «tid considers royalty an unmiti gated curse to a country, He is an eloquent writer, with extraordinary power o( invective, satire, wit, and special pleading:· which be uses in the canne ot humanity and patriotism. He is bold, sometimes rough, in bis statements and accusations, and he is without mere; for kings a ad princes. Ha is λ pa«eios*to lover of liberty, aud he serves her with all the powers ol a trained aud brilliant intellect, and with intense ardor. This little book Is a political pamphlet, crowded with information in regard to the wrong side of English history and tb· present government of England, but full also of noble feeling, and of stirring quotations, made with striking effect, from the Bible aud from the great writers of the past and tbe pres ent. The book hae bad a large sale iu Great Britiin and calls out all kinds of criticism from enthusiastic praise to the most severe de nunciation, Du! even its opponents acknowl edge that its trenchant phillippics are stimu lating reading. Tue publ cation of such a book proves that speech and the press are as free in England as they would be in any Republic. ÊOMB HKBETICi OF YESTERDAY.

THE LABOR-VALUE FALLACY. Tbe lLtsbtion of this book is to lurniah these who do not at^rove of socialism, but are per plexed by the specious reasoning of H nry George and others, a sound and co>;clu-'ve argumeut agaiust it. It is not probable that tho avowed Socialists will receive the book with favor, but they will fiud it very difficnlt to answer. Those who are imbued with the current doctrines concerning labor aud value will also And in it much food for thought. The tone of the book is decidedly healthy, and re assuring to those who are trying to make a lining on tbe old-fashioned plan, directing euergv by intelligence, and are seeking to en jvj .uv *rj OW .νινβυ.ϋϊ guuu Il'iuiva ttUU K.IUUJJ thoughts aud feelings. It is ducidedly dis couraging to those w bo hope to abolish poverty bj a theory, aud will probably prevent any one who reads it carefally from becoming a follow er of Henry George. THE REALITY OF FAITH. This la Dr. Newman Smyth's latest publica tion, aud is made up ol sermons preached dol ing the past two years. The author is a rec ognized leader in oar American Israel. While be calls no man master, he is in sympathy with advanced thinkers, and so perceives bow vain are all atempis to iguore or oppose the forward movement of the hnman mind. The "old faith" is dear to bim, but he aims to pre sent it divested of those human accretions which have retarded its progress and ρ ejudic ed many against it. A wide-awake man and ready writer is Newman Smjth. He savane abou the some relation to this generation as Professor 1'ark did to the past, and Moses Stu art 10 the one before the last. Aud so we go. Times change, aud we obange wi»h them. This is well, provided "the substance of the faith, the things hoped for," be retained and trans, milted.

Tbe list of i.uthori represented numbers more than a haudred. In this collection every one will be Ctrtuiu tu find a large number of favorite pieces, and almost as certain to discover some quit» as charming that are new to him. The publishers, Meters. White, Stokes AlWu, have been very successful in their part of the work, making a dainty and elegant volume of which the only criticism anybody will be dis posed to make will be that the type is too small. The Magazine of Art has been so frequently and fall; noticed in these oolumns that it is nnnectsiary to do mors in acknowledging the receipt of the bound aunual volume, tbe seventh, than to bear witnei-s to the tasteful style in which ft appears, t> the general value of its contents, literary and pictorial, and to say that is this shape It makes one of the most beautiful and valuable gift books of the set son.

THE PRESS, SATURDAY MORXING, DEC. 13. VIX DEAN'S WAGER, Δ Story of the Election. BY ask ο KEY, (Written lor the Press.) "No, I detest all Democrats 1" in the torn of one deaf to further argument. "1 would not descend to make a wager (Vix nevei ''bets") on the success of my pet statesman oyer any candidate your party could offer, and I certainly shall not over the onj you bave just named," with Infinite scorn in vbc •weet voice. And V ι* takes up her "styloeraphic'' pre paratory to the morning's work of dictation. While the gentleman whom she has jusl addressed looks down on the very business like a'tiiude of big defiant little secretary, let me introdnce you more fulty to this tame Vix. She is really Vix—Miss Vix Dean—un commonly pretty and the quickest writer ic the inner office of Sttaiton Stratum, tbt largest wholesale house iu a Sue old city not a thousand milts from here. But why Vix? you say. I knew you would ask that; and if you will not whisper it, 1 will pause, en passant, to say that it was al the fault of Dean perc. He could not b« satisfied, perhaps not unreasonably, that hit youngest daughter had grown to her sixieei Tfiirs aiid fivp f αηΙ_ βίτ inches nf etatnw wi'h no more Christian appellation tbar "Dot," her baby name, and persieted in, loi want of a be'ter, to this absurd length. Il might have con'inued till this time, had not Mr. Dean been wheedled one day into taking hie baby, this same sixteen-year-old Dot, tc eee an .>peratic affair called Pinafore—per haps you have heard of it. Needless to say that for a week his life wsi burden to him; his mischievous dausbtei caught the prevailing fever of singing snatches from the opera and quoted that de lusion and a snare "hardly ever" so often that it grew chronic with her and she could hardly say anything else. Angels and ministers of grace! I have used it myself cbe moment tbe expression is resurrected. A thousand pardons if I have been the one to put tbe word into your mouth again! I know I shall use it myself for a week. Bu' to resume: Dot brought it on her self! for finally she came to be kùown as her father's little "Hardly," and has remained that to tbis dav. Mrs. Dean, good, teuder oui, suggested that it at least be made a little less obnoxious by using th- Latiu equiv alent, Fiie, and her husband at last had the grace to yield the point. And so that is the way she ceased to be Dot. Her worst ene my (if she ba-n. if your father is so infallible in his judgment, and his dauguter can but echo it, whereiu is the danger of betting good-na turedly on 'he result? It there is no likeli hood of your losing a wager, I fail to see a cause for I tie fears you cannot conceal in this time 'that tries men's souls.' It Is the morning following election day, aud Vix hasn't been herself, good little par tisan, in her anxiety over the "returns." "Come, Miss Vix, Ikuow there is some thing in the store that is the height of your ambition this minute, Isn't there? And I know there is something you could easily give me, something already in yonr posses sion, that wouid make me happier than the victorious President-elect, himself. Now you will either bet wit5 me, or you are afraid for the result. At this challenge all the warm blood in Vix's lissome body ri-es and flames a defi ance on her cheeks, and she cannot say quickly enough: "Ii is not so! I am not afraid "Prove it tben by doing as I ask." "I certainly will now—only I know thai n; mother would not approve, and I shall have to keep it to myself." Vix has a way of patterning her conduct tor her mother's approval truly refreshing in this nineteenth cen'-ury. "Your mo'her would not object to your receivlug or paying a philopena debt, would she?" "N-o; for I Ifttve done it," with frank in decision. "Well, it seems to me the two transac tions are strikingly similar," smiling amused ly over the gradual yielding of this very wa ry little fly. But there is a ring in Mr. Rex Stratum's voice that is not quite so assured as he continues: "I will wager you anything you likmethiuf from the store here that you may selec yourself—anything from a silk dress down n. It is not as though I had to go out and pa] money for it, you see," with doubtful soph ietry as Yix looks a protest. "And may claim as wide a margin in taking a gift froja jou?—as, of course, I expect to," miit"cRïn| with much fidelity her late du»«frtird tone. "Cettaiuly that woow OB °''ly fa r." Thi wicked triumph»^ sparkle in the warn blue eyes b**"' "P°n her musing face shouli have w-fued Vix that m schief is intended ^&ias! she is 100 intent on deciding wha she will be permittt-d accept from biu to give more than a passing thought to wha of the very few thlugs in her present pos session, would be suitable to this fine gentle man's needs. "liemember, Miss Vix, it is a fair fiel· and no 'days of grace,' when the verdict i known. Are you agreed?" offering, wit: some «light compunction of conscience, thi last loophole of retreat. "I shall certainly kftep my word, Mr. Stral ton, although I am not in the least cot cerned about being called upon to do il Tije American people are still in their rlgh «ense» I think—the Qiajority, at least—an New York wili soon prove my words.- Vo will lose your wager.'' "So be it I take the risk. Will you shake hands ou our compact?" And Vix puts an unhesitating liaud in his waim clasp and looks at bim with calm eyes in which some mild asperity presently grows when he lor gets, in bis triumph, to loose the slender fingers; she is sitting at such disadvantage that they must perforce remain in bis or be twisted away. Seeing she is meditating something like this, he hastily drops her band and turns and goes to his own desfc. It is quite time to be loobing after the coreigu correspondence and nfglected in voices. For the rest of the day there is little cessation of the hum of dictation from his desk, let to the accooipauiment, seemingly, of diligent, noisy pens farther d wn the office. Vix, though she does not hnow it, commends herself to her critical em ployer every day for the noiselessness with which she follows his rapid utterances. It is hard work, for once, to keep up with him to-day, as he dictates rapidly, now an important business letter; now a curt re minder in French (if anything cau be made curt in that polished languags) concerning an agreed extension of time on the payment of a large importation of goods; and again a suave acceptance of a six month*' note from Leonard Bros., whose check had been confi dently expecud instead. And so on ad infi nitum goes the work. When the last is taken down aud Vix finds herself free to straight en hrr cramped fingers aud look about her, she discovers something a little out of the usual order of their dady routine Mr. Stratton is folding methodically his own pa pers without the customary "Done for to day, Miss Vix." Failing this cheery per mission, she is constrained to sit and watch him until such time as he shall see fit to dis mise her. Presently, when he ha3 donned his light overcoat and found hat and gloves, he comes forward to her side with elaborate expression of surprise on his debonair face. "What! Papersnot yet put away with your usual legal precision Miss Dean? I am sure I asK your pardon tor Having Kept you wailing. Perhaps you will allow me to do penanse for it by attending you to the first news stand down street and learning the cause of all this outcry," as a loud cheeriog reaches them from tbe street. "Duubileee the trus ty Associated Press dispatches will only con firm the horrid suspicion growing upon me that jou have won the handsomest sealskin in the store." All of which is so palpably contrary to what he evidently does think that, for the first time, a doubt springs to life lu Vix's loyal bosom, and she has much ado to maintain a courageous front before the laughing triumph of her companion's eyes. H> waits, bat in hand, for her per m ssion to accompany her, aud is finally re warded by an indifferent and rather ungra cious, "Come, if you like, Mr. Stratton, though the news will not be cheering for you, I feel sure." To give Υ·χ due credit, she does not far a moment imagine that tbis uuusual honor is to be hers simply because Mr. Rex Stratton doas not choose for her to run the gauntlet of the jostling, excited crowd of men collected before the bulletin board next door below. She thiuks he is too confident of the tenor of the news just ar rived, but she will be wise enough to wait for cerUiutv before indulging in the "X told you so," already on her lipa. And for once ill her life her wisdom seems rewarded F ir not lily cin she not fling at him tuie f-ssen tialiy feminine weapun, but the news is such when they reach tbe street that she is reduc d almost to tears at the amount of bumble pie lier employer generously bestows upon ber. He buys the laie>t issue of the "Indepen dent" an organ wbicli bilies its name if report 3peaks true, as Yix scornfully tells him—ind then pilots'ier rapidly and salely to a side S'reet. Here he puts in her liaed t ht» dpra ble reports. She is so far from being con cerned about her appearance with him, that U·· might as well be in Kamtchatka for all notice she bestows on him for the next five minutes. At length, after having twisted the innocent paper into an unsightly mass of wrinkles, she looks up and finds his eyes, full of amused quizzical laughter, watching her. A little flash of conscious gaiit steals over his face as she returns the mutilated sheet to his haud. "Please excuse me, IIr. Stratton, If I have been making a spectacle of myse'f while ruiuing your own p^^er. I had lorgotien where I was, and I will buy you another (In dependent) of the first i)oy." "No need, Miss Dean, for I have been reading your faee while you read and de molished my property, and I am veiy well satisfied with the result," in a slightly muf fled tone that savors of iepressed glee, if nothiue more, to the ears of his companion. "My faiher says that those who laugh last laugh best in a Presidential campaign, at elsewhere, a truism that seems to liavo es caped you all these years, Mr. Stratton. Here is a fresh paper in place of jours!" suddenly stopping an astonished newsboy for his last "extra" and paying him for it with matter-of-fact exactness oat oi the con tents of a natty little purse, a proceeding that h«r attendant knight suffers without re monstrance, although he sees his sister ap proaching in company with a smiling socie ty belle, whose name Dame Rumor has late ly begun to link with his. He returns their astounded look with a complacent smile and courteous touch to his hat brim, but walks composedly forwa'd when Miss Virginia Stratton half stops as if to call her brother to account, then and there, for being in such socie'y—which does look rather questiona ble at this moment, I am constra'ned to say, particulars as Yix is laughing quite audi b!y at the bewildered newsboy. They walk forward a few blocks in silence, both think iug of the very significant look on Miss Siratton'e face as her friend drags her away with a little eiivery laugh over tbe encoun ter. Yix knows the two haughty beauties from their occasional visits to the office— knows them much as a busy little sparrow may take note of gorgeous tropical birds— and she Joes not half like tha way they have just treated her. "Tirs is my street here, Mr. Stratton. No, I will not take you further out of your way, thank you just the tame." as he looks a decided protest into the resoluie face. "It I must confers it, your mtserab'e paper (and «srmiP.thilicr RÎim miorht hurra hot uiaiie tue feel uncommonly quarrelsome, and you would not walk another block with me before «e 'fell out,' to quote my brother Jiaimie. Ob yes we should, to a moral ceitalmy!" in replv to the incredtllous lift ing of his eyebrows. "I shall have good news in my turn to-morrow, aud until then— au revoir," making him a demure II·tie courte^ i»nd vanishing down the darkening street. "Ah! I ontyh°pe my flery little Vix's prog nosticates won't prove iiue. By the way, χ w^o(ler bow she forms the possessive of tier name? Words ending in χ change χ into en to form tbe plural: ox, oxen;Vix, Vixen. Jove though! that can't be it, how· ever appiopriaie. Pebaw! what a jumble I am making of my plurals ai.d possessives. I I'll af.k her about it to-mor'o though, as it will haunt me until I do. She wi'l never pay me my wager unless I hold her to it; and by Heaven! I'll doil, if she gels down t on her k ees to be ab-olv>d from her prom ise!" with an unseemly tightening of the careltss lips. "What will my father eay," continuing his train of thought, "when he 1 learns that, thanks to his retirement from s the house, I find another partner absolutely indispensable to eusure future success. Bnt s the dear old boy cannot help heing sensible about it when he remembers what a treas ure we shall keep in the business—if only behind tbe scenes to spur on my laz ness." This last is a base libel on himself which t I cannot allow to stai d. Mr. Rex Sirattou j has given big broad shoulders aud cool head to the business so long that It has grown al most beyond tbe recognition of his father, who bas been glad to surrender it to him almost entirely of late. With such thoughts and a thousand sweet er hopes behind the impassive mask of his face, the junior partner of Stratton Strat um pursues bis w*y to the grand mansion he calls home. He makes no explanation to his aristocratic mother and sister of the afternoon's walk wi'h Miss Vix Dean— none that they will believe, at least, in view of his ridiculous displays of mock-embar rassment at their persistent questioning. His father looks up a moment from his eY ening paper on hearing his pet stenograph er's name mentioned in connection with his son's. But the eyes that meet his are as clear and straightforward as ever and in some way dissipate the sternness that has gathered on the proud old man's face. Rex is a Stratton! and therefore t >o honorable for aught but the most chivalrous regard for the good name of the young lady employes in the establishment of Stratton Stratton. Good old man to always expect perfec tion where perbaps there has been no temp tation to this same boy of hie—this cool headed, indifferent business man as fair women and the world generally have come to regard him. But the old man is right in his trust, and I honor him for it! If you cannot trust a friend- one who has never de ceived you—at the first faintest breath of suspicion, jjur friendship is- but poor stuff iudeed! "Mal y »olt qui mal y pense."

"Oh, mother, I b~lieess mistakes and erasures in her work before the day is over. What can it mean that she can uo longer raise her eyes to his without feeling the color lrap to her cheeks under the strange look she meets there? Is hie glance magnetic that she is forever cob-. scious of it, and so forevei making senseless efforts to avoid il? He says nothing to h*r about the political outlook, though ou his return from a tour of the store b«- carries on a very audible dia logue with old Blackstonr, the head book keeper, concerning the latest returns aud their absurd effect on the woebegone faces of most of the clerks throughout the various departm-ri-s, clerks wlio are mainly on her side, as V:x instantly coi eludes. Αι last th° day is over, aud she is glad to receive the longed-for permission to cease the irksome scribbling. Mr. Strattnn pauses a moment at h»'r desk to say hi« usual quiet "good-night." Πβ senilis to b** sud lenly ιβ inindt'd of something important, for he turns back to say: "Do you know. Miss Yix, that I am at war with all th« grammarians aud lexicog raphers over the very simple matier of put ting your Christian name in the possessive? I bave beeu thinking of a filling insciiption for Ibis little reminder—to be presented to you when I claim fulfillment of our wager, pelting in her hand a picture ol tbe most forlorn-lookmg rooster tha*. it bad ever been her luck to look upon. "No, you need not say it! I realize all you would tell me of the danger of being loo premature in my re minders: but I was anxious about the in scription, you know. How is that?" calling ber attention to some staring letters in red ink that read—VIX'S BIRD. So, this is the result of all thai clippiog with her own scissors, filched uuder her very eyes, too, for this same work, clippiog that had seemed so cnendurable to her nerves on edge! "You think it good?" in the tone of a con noisseur over a rare painting, while she re mains speechless at his audacity "well, that was the way it struck me, only I was so uncertain about that possessive, whether it should be Vix's or Vix-en's." Willi these last words, he bends hastily down as though eximininn her work, aud says low and with lingering tenderness, "Good-night again, and forgive me!—Vixen." In another moment he is out of the room before Vix can recov er her dazed wits. It Is a very bewildered little head that tries to follow out the usual order of duties de volving upon Sirattou Stratlon's short hand clerk for the next few days. The result of the election is still unsettled—to some in quiring minds at least, and on them Yix pins her faith. She cannot for her life tell what course to take with her employer, who is so slily tan talizing in his ways that she is Kept in a con stant state of nervousness, ready to laugh one miuute aud cry the next fur "just noth ing at all," as she tries to assure herself. He is never lired of holding forth with Black stone over the utter nselessness of question ing the validity of the election, "a thing which was virtually settled two weeks back" to his mind. And so it wou'd appear. For all the bets, wise and otherwise, that bave been made in the store are now being promptly paid, with much good natured raillery from the bead of the firm. So much is said and done about payii g iff these "little obligations" that Vix pre?ently finds she is being haunted by her8> now that hope is almost over. She main tains a shy composure, however, until the second Tuesday following election, and then she is fain to acknowledge herself beaten and in Mr. Stratton's debt. To what? She takes the question home to ponder on over night and does to 6uch purpose that she is actua'ly pale with anxiety aud confu sion when her "creditor" joius her on ter way ιο tue oince next morning. Ile does not notice her distress apparently, but dis cusses tlie weather, business, and whatever comes uppermost to hia mind until tbey have reached their destination and there is no further opportunity for offering to do— she does bo. know what, for this aggravat ing personage. AH day sbe racks her brain in a vain effort to find oui. in wbat manner she is to ask the extent of her indebtedness of this grave bLB int ss man who dictates to her as coolly as though addressing old B'ackstone bimself. Surely her foolish fears that something un heard of will be demanded of her are with out foundation! All the strange triumph aud expectation that have lurked in his eyes for the past two weeks have vanished from them to-day and his glance is as un moved as though she and election bets (hor rid words! what would her mother say?) have no earthly interest for him. What pub lic exhibition would he «xpect her to make of herself? or what possib e thing is there now in her possession that he will ask her? are the two questions that ring their changes iu her thed bead until she is forced to lay aside her pen and steady her throb bing temples for a brief instant in two icy hands. Certainly she must and will keep her word if it kills her!—if she only knew what she bad promised! the looks desper ately in the direction of her tormentor to find his eyes fixed upon her with a glance that is half-pii>ing, half-remoiseful—wholly unintelligible in its merciless scrutiny. "Miss Yix, jou are not feeling well this afternoon, X am sure. Would it not be bet ter for us to leave this work for some other litre and give you β chance to rest the re mainder of the day?" lay ng down his pern and coming to her side. The gentleness in his tones li 10 unex pected that Vis feels a great lump growing j in her throat, aDd a sudden splash, at of rain, on her book warns her that a crying flt will be the next thing to follow unless she can get a-vay from his sight. Giving him one imploring glance from beautiful drenched eyes, she turns her back upon him and after hastily throwing her unfinished work into a drawer—a very remarkable thing for her little methodical self to do— vanithes from the room. Iu live minutes she is out on the street, harrying home, and so blinded by tears and a thick vtill as not to discover a stalwart fig ure ifcat follows closely upon her footsteps. For once in her life Yix is unable to tell her mother the cause of the blinding head ache that makes her a prisoner lo her room for the next two days. She is miserably couscious that this sudden sickness will perhaps be misunderstood at the office; it will certainly bring to a standstill there her portion of the work, and so lose her per haps her situation !—with a painful contrac tion of ber heart at this thought that is worse than anything yet, and leaves her very white and still on her pillow. Wise Mrs. Dean does not seek to pry into the se crets of her reticent little daughter, but there is much foreboding in her gentle heart over this state of affairs: laughing, open-hearted Vix silent and self-contained and bearing her two days' suffering with no word of complaint—a thing never known before in this babyish member of the house hold. At the end of the second day, "Vix is bet ter, but not well enough to see callers." Such is the answer Mr. Rex Stratton gets when he cails and inquires after the welfare of bis secretary. He goes away at let gth af ter leaving kindest expressions of sympathy for her suffering? And Vix? If possible her head is more unruly than ever after his call. At last she turns her flushed cheeks lo the wall and makes a solemn vcfw to herself that if on the morrow her head is still on her shoulders, and not flown into a thousand pieces—as it bide fair to be—she will show Mr. Rex Stratum that she can be at her post and go through with whatever work he has for her to do, and pay her wager, too,—if it's to wheel him to Jericho, or—or—any of the thousand and one things that he will be un generous enough to ask of lierl So, you see, poor Vix is getting better. And she is better in the morning, "Well enough," she tells her mother, "to go to work"—which thing she persists in doing. Rex is fairly shocked at eight of her pallid cheeks, and he peremptorily refuses to dic tate a word, doing the work himself, while she sits in hurt silence in her chair and tries to appear busy over a rearrangement of her desk, calling "order out of chaos," appar ently by the extraordinary length of time she is at work over it. When finally that no longer offers an ex cuse, she takes up the fashion magazine that Rex had thoughtfully provided (after decid ing in bis consternation that she should not work.) The pages have no interest for her —and luckless Vix is usually so wild over a fash.ου-plate Bat she makes it a shield for her face while mentally goiug over the same old ground reviewe I so often lately; when and how she eau introduce the topic of that miserable election borror, since Rex plainly does not meau to help her in the least. Before ehe is aware of it in her preoccupa ilon, the forenoon's work is over and the of fice deserted, save by herself and a silent figure still writing diligently at his desk. Springing to ber ieet, she Is about to beat a precipitate retreat—(O, Vix, to forget this is the very opportunity you bave been wait ing lor!)—when a gentle, determined "Vix!" from Mr. Slratton brings her to a standstill. He is at her side ie another moment, aιΛ r»nn Ι,ηττΛ aright, then buries her face in her hand· aud sinks weak and terrified into he" chair. In all her wildest imaginings and forebod es she hat never thought of anything like this! Rex on his knees beside her instantly at spch disastrous effect of his words. "Vix! Darling! F'irgive rae if I have hurt you by the bruta! joke! I wiU never ask you to kiss me unless you love me with your whole heart, even as I do you. Will >ou not speak to me, my own little girl?" winding a tender arm around the slender waist, and stekiug to remove the envious fingers that vainly strive to bide the sweet face covered with a consuming blush. "You surely will not mind paying me my wager now when I beg you for it on my knees. I said I would not ask you to keep your prom ise, but, my own, you will forgive me if I cannot absolve you from it now. Have I been cruel to you, little Vix?" with infinite contrite tenderness, as she is n'.ill too hope lessly mute for any notice favorable or oth erwise, of his passionate pleading. "Ah! but you are not indifferent to me, Vixl Look in my .-yes and tell me so if you can." He has the sweet face bared at last to hit ten der, exultant gaze, and reads all his answer there in its shy winsotneuess. The most maidenly lips cannot be brought all at once to'do what has been expected of them these two weeks past, so Rex is tain to waive bie claim for the present, contenting himself by folding the quivering little figure close to his heart and laying reverent lips on the love locks above the white forehead. He holds her thus for a brief space, and then she stirs restlessly on bis breast. "What is it, dearest? Have you relented about the Κ— wager? I knew you would." "Oh, Mr. Stratum "Say Rex, little Vixen." "Well—Rex," with sweetest hesitation at such unusual style of address, "I know your mother and sister will never forgive me, and oh! what will your father think of me?" "He cannot think much more of you thai he does now—at least ϊ shall not be willing for him to until the paternal element enters his regard. You have something else to ask me, Pet?" ae she maintains an ominous si lence, but keeps up a restless twisting that will presently deprive his coat of a button. "Oh, Rex, I do hate all Democrats, and what if I should quarrel with you about it?" At this terrible thought she raises a pair of anxious hazel eyes to his face, only to find it drawn into preternatural gravity in his at tempts to stifle a laugh which still lurks iu his glance. "Well, we won't worry about it for the next four years anyway, my little politician, and then I may or may not be as Indepen dent as I am now. A great deal wilt depend on the way you settle the debts of this cam paign." 'Rex, if I will settle It now"—hiding a laughing, conscious face from his sight— "will you promise not to vote for that nasty party—directly or indirectly—as long as you livh?" What answer he makes to her demand de ponent sayeth not, but I will whisper to you that the election wager was not long on Yix's tender conscience. Wit and Wisdom.

The mowt Remarka ble Care on Record. I have been afflicted for one year and nine months with what the doctors called rupia. 1 w«s taken with dreadful pains in my head an<l body, my feet became so swollen that 1 was perfectly helpless, sores broke out on my body and face, ray appetite left me. 1 could not sleep nights, I lost flesh, and soon became so wretched that 1 longed to die. In this condition, after trying various remedies, I en gaged two homoeopathic phyeieians, Dr. and Dr. and was under their treatment a year and a half, and failed to get even temporary relief My disease grew worse; ray sufferings became terrible. I tried "faith cure," but it was unsuccessful. Kind friends theu tried to get me into the City Hospital, but the superintendent after seing me, declined to admit such a case as mine there, and said I would not live fix weeks unies» I was relieved. On the 20th of April last, 1 rent for Dr. M. F. Blodgett, of Boston. He came, and after an exam ination pronounced my case the most hopeless he bad ever witnessed. My photograph, which was theu tiken at his desire* while I lay propped up in bed, showe the disease as it appeared on my face; but no picture could possibly indicate how much pain and sult'eiing 1 endured. The eruption bad increased to great burrowing, foul moiling sores, from which a reddish matter constantly poured, forming crust? of great tbick-ess. Other sores ap peared on various parts or my t* ay; ana ι twwioe so weak that I could not leave my bed. In this condition, and by advice uf Dr. Blodgett, ι began the u-e of the Cctjcura Remedies, the Resolvent internally three times per day, and the Cuticuka and Cuticur* Soap externally. In just si*ty days, i. e., June 20. 1 was so far recovered as to be able to go alone to the gailery ami sit for inv nhotokiranh. which ehow3 more than WtTtds can do the wonderful cure these remedies bave wrought in less than nine weeks. The sores have all disap peared from my face and body, my appetite aud strength have returned: I am free from pain, my flesh is increasing, and I can tro about and enjoy life. My restoration to perfect health is now only a matter of a few weeks. My friends think my cure miracuiou*: and 1 sli .11 never cease to feel that the Cuticura Remedies have sayed my life.

The annual reports o{ tbe Maine Central Railroad hate been printed, and tbe following are abstracts; DIEECXOB'a REPOBT. To the Stockholders of the Maine Central Railroad Co. The Directors respectfully present their re port of the business of tbe road for the year ending September 30tb, 1884. Wbiie the cross earnings have been less, there has been such a reduction in operating expenses as to leave a larger surplus than the preceding year. For the first nine months of tbe fiscal year, freight earnings were reduced $78,792.19, and passen ger earnings 81,815.45. Both freight and pas senger earnings commenced increasing from that date, so that for the year,the freight eam inss show a redaction of S66.116.29, and mtk ine thus a gain in the last three mouths of $12 675.90 over the correspondiug period last year, while the passenger earnings showed an in crease for the year of $50,206.11, making thns a gain in the last three mouths of $52,021 56. These gains in tbe last quarter of the year, es pecially in passenger earnings, are attributa ble largely to the opening of our Mount Desert Branch, upon which train·* commenced run ning regularly Jane 231, 1884. In our last annual report, mention was made of the construction of that branch, which adds 41.15 milt s to our mileage, |aud enables ne to reach the deep water οι Frenchman's Bay at the most convenient point for Bar Harbor tonriBts, while »t saone time it gives tie a ter minus at a point eatily accessible to steamers and sailing vessels from all parts of Eistern Maine and the province of Nova Scotia. Tbe advantages to be earned by fur nishing suitable facilities for bus iness at that point were so apparent to the directors that they felt justified iu uiaking a large outlav in anticipaiion of passenger and freight traffic not only during the summer sea son bnt during the whole year. We have ev ery reason to be gratified by the results thus far and believe this branch will continue a valuable feeder to the main line, justifying the wisdom of its construction. Tbe company operates 524 2 miles of road as follows: Portland to Vanceboro 250.7 Cumberland .J unct. to Skuwhegan Ou.7 Bath 10 Farmington 712 rrowlej'i Junut. to Lewirton 4.7 Burnham Junct. to Belfast 33 1 Newport Junct. to Dexter 14.0 Kiower Junei. to Buclteport 18.1 Peuooscot Switch to Mt.

The result of this year's traffic shows that in a ι eriud of general but inées depression throughout the conntry. Maine has suffered proportionally less than any othei S'ate, and that its manufacturing and other interests are fairly prospérons. Compar ing the traffic with that of 1879, it may be no ted that in five years the paesenger earnings, per mile operated, have increased 33 per cent., and the freight earnings 17 jwrcettt.

Daring Superin tendent Sanboru'e long connection with the first two roads named above, he has, by his ac tive personal effort*, developed λ large and protituble local patronage, and has put the road-bed, stations and general accommodations oftbese lines into first-class condition.

ATTORNEY AT LAW AMD SOLIC1TOB Aineriean Χ CX3W lflWjOlB, vVOU, UMUOI η ia.Il' 1 LUc ^Oii eral laws, and fewer still the insurance laws of other States; and you may discover, when you come to the test, that the actual position and results of your insurance are quite different from what you desired or anticipated. THE INSURANCE LAWS OF MAINE ARE FEW AND SIMPLE. Vou can easily obtain pre cise information respecting their meaning and ef fect. You may be certain, therefore, if you insure In the Union Mutual that you get exactly what you want; tbat if any question arises, regarding the disposition of your policy,orjyour rights underi it, it caii be easily and speedily deiermined accordng to laws and principles which you understand instead of being governed and controlled by laws and de ciei ">ns of which vou have no knowledge. THE INSURANCE LAWS OF YOUR OWN STATE ARK MORE LIBERAL AND EQUITABLE THAN THOSE OF ANY OTHER STATE. The Maine Nonforfeiture Law protects all policies from forfeiture, after three premiums have been paid, by reason of failure to pay auy subsequent premium. Such policies are continued in force for their full amount until the policy-holders has received in such continued insurance the value f the payment he has mtde. EVERY POLICY ISSUED BY THE UNION MUTUAL IS SUBJECT TO Γ HIS LAW. Its prac tical working is shown by this illustration If a person, aged 35, pays three premiums on a 25 year endowment policy, an 1 tails to pay the fourth pre mium, the policy by virtue of this law and entirely independe.it of any action or violation of the com pany, will continur in force five years and 342 days longer. The extensions vary with the class of poli cy and number of premiums paid, but are fixed by law for each and everv case. THE MANAGEMENT OF THE UNION MUTU AL IS BY A BOARD OF DIRECTOR* ALMOST WHOLLY COMPOSE!» OF WELL-KNOWN AND PROMINENT CITIZENS OF YOUR OWN STATE. Their names are a guaranty of an honest, faithful and efficient conduct of its affairs. The vaiue of your insurance depends entirely upon the certain ty that a company will carry out its contracts fairly, reasonably and promptly; and, in this respect, your personal knowledge of the character ami standing of the persons who eontrol it is of great importance avid significance. ΤΗ Κ CONDITION OF THE UNION MUTUAL AS TO ASSETS. LIABILITIES AM) FINANCIAL STANDING IS ANNUALLY INVESTIGATED BY YOUR OWN COMMISSIONER OF INSURANCE. The results of his examination are stated in detail in his annual report, which you can easily consult. You have, therefore, in this regard, the guaranty of the endorsement of an official of whose character, capacity and fidelity you have personal knowledge. If, therefore, the Union Mutual possessed no ad vantages peculiar to itself, as distinguished from other companies, it would be to your advantage to insure in it. It is certainly very much so when you consider the many inducements it presents in ad dition to these considerations. J. F. FERRIS, Manager for Maine Ν. H. Agencies, PORTLAND, I*1E.

Yes, sir, instantly. You are sure he did not ask you the ques tion? Yes, sir, sure. I asked him, and he re membered it instantly. That's all, Mr. Witness, step down! Some of the most intelligent people in the KiDgdom really "believed in the claimant," as the phrase was and party feelings with them were very high. "Tichborne Bonds" were put upon the market for sale. Collec tions and subscriptions for him were solic TtedT One day in à railway carriage a big, Duriy tarmer said 10 me tnat tie bad been solicited to subscribe, which he refused. "What!" they said, "won't you help bim to come by bie own?" "No," he replied; "if I knew him to I e no impostor I would not give a penny, because by his own confes sion he's a great rascal. The title aud es tate are now in possession of a real son of the family, while beyond any possible doubt tbis claimant is a shameless fraud." This case was the constant topic of con versation throughout the kingdom during the hundred days that the trial lasted, in which many witnesses were detected in the grossest perjury and punished lor it, but for all that the faith of the "claimant party" in the justice of his case, and their zeal in his service aud devotion to his interest were not in the least diminished. He was convicted and sentenced to prison for fourteen years. Not long after I was the guest of a vicar of the church, an admirable man, witb a most accomplished lady for his wife. One day at table the talk turned on "the claim ant." The vicar said nothing; his wife said, "When he was convicted I went to bed sick. It was a shocking injustice." I said, "You surprise me, madam. I cannot un dersiaud how you can possibly sympathize in any way with such a scoundrel as the claimant by his own confession is." N. D. The Inauguration Ball. (Ν. T. Sun.) There is certainly no reason why a Pres byterian shouldn't be as good a dancer as a Congregationalist or a Free Will Baptist, or any member of any other religious denomin ation whatsoever, except possibly the Shak ers. Mr. Cleveland's alleged Presbyterian ism need not prove any bar to bis danciog well, and we hope he does well. If the floor of the ballroom where the inauguration ball is held is properly secured by extra joists and other precautions, no danger need be appre hended. Mr. Cleveland ought to be warned however, that, though the floor be strong and he put his whole soul into bis pumps, it is doubtful if he will be able to equal in beauty aud unintermittent shuffles and pig eon wings Col. Pulyfer and the other spruce colonels and majors aud captains who will shake a leg at the inauguration ball. For, while we have no doubt that Mr. Cleveland can walk through a quadrille with dignity, if not with alacrity, we doubt if be can whirl in the waliz as lithely and vertigin ously as Carl Schurz; and of course Carl Scburz will be at the ball. Besides the Bos ton independent Republican mugwumps are almost all dancers of experience and agility, and they will judge Cleveland's danc ing with great severity. But we hope Mr. Cleveland will enjoy his inauguration ball if be givt-s one, and we would even wish that the Boston and New York mugwumps who may be present might enjoy themselves, did we not know that hilarity is too rare an at mosphere for them. Col. Pulsifer will cer tainly enjoy himself if the supper is good. And as for our esteemed contemporaries who have been making such a hubbub about the election, we gently, but urgently, invite them to shut up. Gladstone's Gift of Tongues. (Labouchere's Truth.) Dr. Bridge, of Westminster Abbey,jwhose QObujjg υι cuo giauu UIU DUUg U1 Ol. XTitUCll of Assisi was so well received at the Worces ter Festival, has just finished the composi tions of a work of similar character, a setting of Mr. Gladstone's admirable Latin transla tion of Toplady's famous hymn, "Rock of Ages." The work, which was undertaken with the permission of the distinguished author, is arranged for a baritone solo, with chorus and orchestra, Mr. Gladstone made this translation, "Jesus, pro me perloratus, in 184°, and it was published in 1861 In a small volume of translations which had been accomplished at various periods by him and by his brother-in-law, the late Lord Lyttle ton. This little book is one of the most striking proofs of the prime minister's versa tility, and of the extraordinary extent of his knowledge, for it contains bis translations, first, from Greek, of Homer and JEscbyius; second, from Latiu, ot Catullus aud Horace, third, from Italian, of Dante and Manzoni; and, forth, from German, of Schillerwell as from English to Latin, of Milton, Heber, and Toplady.

Δ Pawn-Shop's Treasures. (Λ Pawnbroker in th aching ton Star.) "There," he said, leading the way into a litMe crowded side office off from the main room, and placing his hand on the combina tion of an immense iron safe, "there is some thing valuable. That would interest you. You like jewelry—old jewelry? There are valuables representing many hundred thous and dollars in that safe. I have four safes altogether, but this contains the mont valua bles. Time-lock, see?" And he swung the huge iron doors open. What a sight! A miser might have fallen on his knees and, running his arms up to the elbows in jewels and gold, have died of joy. There were at least two bushels of handsomely set rings, bracelets, broochee, diamond studs, pins and gold watches, some of old and some of new design. Some of the diamonds and other precious stone· were exquisite. There were diamond rings of antique and curious pat tern, and there were settings of rubies, car* buucles and other precious stones. There was one ring set with a cluster of very large diamonds which filled the reporter's finger up to the first joint, and was so heavy as to be uncomfortable. There was a jeweled necklace of hammered gold, which was worn by one of the favorites in the court of Louis XIY., and a pair of Etruscan gold ear rings nf Sue filmv tevtnre mnrfi than t.wo inches long, which" was once worn by an empress. So the proprietor of the "shop" assured the Star man, and their appearance bore out his statement, Then there were many, many old gold watches, some of them very curious. There was one little hunting-case watch of hammered gold, hand made, not more than an inch and a quarter in diameter, and about at thick one way as the other, a unique and curious little thing, which the Star man was assured belonged to Martha Washiogton, having been made a present to her by some notable in Eugland. In another safe were collected trinkets In still greater quantities, but of less value. Hundreds oi silver watch es were thrown together in heaps with silver spoons, mugs and drinking-cups, some of an tique pattern. In yet another safe was a collection of George Washington's plate—a full silver dinner set, very heavy, with the letter "W" engraved upon each piece—aud a very large drinking cup marked "B WM" which belonged to Bushrod Washington. This "Washington silver," the proprietor told the Star aan, he held in pledge for $150 loaned to the lady who owns it, an heir to the Washington family. Its intrinsic value, he says, is about $300, but its value by asso ciation is of course much greater. There was also in one of the safes an immense Bi ble on vellum, giviag the scriptures in 12 different languages. It is several hundred years old. The clasps are of heavy parch ment or leather. Smuggling Opium. (San Pranoieco Call.) There is always a steamer or vessel in port on which the smugglers have confederates and to which they are devoting their atten tion. Their mode of procedure is novel. They long ag· found eut that it is risky work to approach the vessel or the wharves, as they run great risks of being detected by vigilant custom officials. Realizing this, V>ûit Viqva narfontûH ο onhûinu wnorûhu onr>Vi dangers are obviated. By the new plan the confederates do most of the work in secret, and all the men lu the boats do is to assist in carrying out the scheme. The confeder ate has a quantity of large bladders, which, as soon as the opportunity occurs, he in flates. A thin stick about two feet in length is inserted in the mouth of the bladder be fore it is tied after being ''blown." A streamer of white muslin is tied to the pro truding end of this stick and cords are car ried around the body of tbe bladder. To cuvitf «î»*v5? ΛλίΑβώιΐ a bumiJLe xif opium not too heavy for the bag of air to sustain. These strange contrivances are then dropped overboard and the tide and wind combined carry them out to where probably a dozen boats are in waiting. The occupants are able to distinguish the objects by the white rag and they then quietly scull arouud and pick them up. "Probably 5Θ of these floats are turned loose in a single night," said the gentleman, "and you can imagine what a haul is thus made." "But they must lose a great deal," said the reporter. "Very little. Of course they do not get them all in a night. Lots are bound to drift away unobserved, but, then, you can wagei some of the boats are around by the first streak of daylight to look after these waits. I know, though, that one of these bladders with some opium attached was found not less tLan two weeks ago on the rocks be neath Harrison-street wharf." The New Anaesthetic. (From the Journal of tbe British Medical Aesociar ti· ii.) The utility of the local an «esthetic hydr> chlorate of cocaine seems as yet of limited extent. At a meeting of the Opthalmologi cal Society of the United Kingdom, Jona than Hutchinson, F. R. S., in the chair, Mr. Arthur Benson [Dublin 1 contributed some observations on the action of hydrochlorate of cocaine on the eye. He had experiment ed with a 2 per cent, and a 4 per cent, solu tion on himself and about 25 others, and found that aD»stbes a of the cornea and con junctiva was produced by a drop instilled into the conjunctival sac; that this anaesthe sia came on almost immediately after appli cation, and lasted only about five or s'x min ute· when it gradually but rapidly faded away. So far as his experience wéut th« drug was of no appreciable assistance in op erations, the anaesthesia being too imperfect. In mosi cases it produced slight paresis of accommodation with partial dilation of the pupil for about half an hour, followed by contraction of the pupil and spasm of ac commodation which again gave wav to the normal condition of parts in abuut one and a half or two hours. He had extracted cat aract, done iridectomy and some minor op erations with its aid, but found no apprecia ble benefit except in the most trivial cases. The anesthesia was very transitory, and it was therelore necessary in order to obtafti the beet results to use the drug very shortly before operating. Mr. Marcus Gunn had us?d hydrochlorate of cocaine in three cases and had come to the same conclusions as Benson. Mr. Nettieship had tried it in two cases; it had produced marked ansesthesia without any inconvenience, and he suggest ed if the drops were frequently instilled so as to maintain the effect the drug might, be practically useful. Juliet's Poison. (London Globe.) The death of Cleopatra, described by Shakespeare as resulting from the bite of a venomous snake, is like no clinical descrip tion of fatal illness from bites of any class of snakes. Dr. B. W. Richardson is very em phatic in his endorsement of this. "I have never in my life," he says, "with one excep tion, seen anything like a case of accurate representation." The one single exception is the effect of the poison in the draught which Juliet takes. Thus, says Dr. Rich ardson, we always see correct representa tions of the effects of this poison, which, he says, is the wine of the atropa mandragora, a plant which grows in the isles of Greece. It is a poison equivalent to our atropa or dead'y night-shade, though a ii'tle different in its effect. The Greek physicians made "death wine" of it, and, it is very interest ing to learn, employed it just as we do chlo roform in the present day. "Before any per sons were submitted to the cautery or the knife they took a draught of this, and the operation was performed while 'hey were under the influence of the wine, the formu la of which remains to this day as Dioscuri des and PMny gave it." Some years ago, Dr. Richardson adds, he had some of the root brought him from Greece, and he was able to mak^ some of the wine and give evi dence as to its action, which was 6trictly in accordance with that experienced by Juliet, from the draught administered to her by Friar Laurence. What "Painting the town Red' Means. (Barriebarg Telegraph.I "How is politics In Harrisburg?" asked Billy Welsh, the minstrel manager, of a Tel egraph reporter. "Red hot," answered the reporter; "both parties have painted the town red." Mr. Welsh remarked: "That's an old ex pression—painting the town red—do you know where it originated? Well, I'll tell you. On my last tour through the country with Calender's Miustrels—a year or more ago—I had as advance agent a man named Campbell. Campbell was a genius at adver tising, and never permitted a rival to get ahead of him. One day in Buffalo I said: Campbell, I hear that Barlow and Wilson are covering my bills with their paper; I want that slopped.' I told him that he would strike them at Adrian, Mich., and when next 1 saw him he had Luge bundles of bills ready tor shipment to Adrian. All were printed in bright red. "What are you going to do?' I asked. Ί am going up to Adrian to paste these bills over Barlow Wilson's and on every dead wall in that plaee. I am going to paint the town red,' and he left. When we got to Adrian it looked as if it was on fire, so thorouglhly bad Campbell done his work. Tbat expres sion, painting the town red,' was so corn ic that the colored minstrels caught on to U, and whenever there was any excitement or anybody got ρ rticularly loud, they always eaid somebody was 'painting the town red.' Of course it "spread, and is now in use by eyerybody." DR. LESLIE'S Special Prescription FOR SICK HEADACHE A2SD SEASICKNESS. TESTIMONIALS: Troy, N. Y.t Aug. 19, 1884. S. B.
