All the night before, Rex Parsons had been planning this thing. He had lain awake, deciding upon the very words he should use, the phrases that were most applicable to the ease. And when at last ho stood there in the grassy front yard of the picturesque old farmhouse, with tho white-clover pinks blossoming in clusters at his feet, and Nannie loaning on his arm, it seemed as if tho cup of his satisfaction had rniw.h nd its fill. "You like it, eh, Nan?" said he, glancing around in an apparently in- different fashion at the low, shingled roof, from which the morning-glory vines tossed their purple cup3, the stono door-steps, the old black-walnut tree in the door-yard. "Like it, Rex?" echoed the bride, en- thusiastically. "It's a perfect picture! Who lives here? Can we go in, do you suppose? Could we get a drink of water from that little, gurgling stream, whose waters are as clear as crystal?" "Of course we can go in," said Rex, with a short, odd laugh. "As for living laere, there is no one living here at present. The Thaxters have just moved out, and the house is sold to one Rex Parsons." Nannie gave a great start. "Oh, Rex!" cried she. "Do you really mean it? Is—is it our house?" Rex flung his hat into the air. "Ireally mean it," said he. "It's our house; I've bought it. Welcome, dear little Nan, to our new home!" And Rex kissed Nan, and Naa hugged Rex, and they went all over the house togethar, like two exultant school- nV\\\f \rr *rt t "Such delightful old-fashioned win- dows," cried Nan, "with the teentiest window-panes one ever saw ! Such loves of little closets! Such a grand chimney for open fires !—and, oh, such a garret, Rex I" "With a regular old-time spinning wheel in it!" shouted Rex. "Only look there, Nannie! Why, Delavarde would give twenty-live dollars for a spinning- wheel like that. It looks as if it might be a hundred years old. I say, pus3, when can you be ready to move in?'' "Tomorrow, if you say so," said Nan- uie, clapping her hands. "We haven't such a deal of furniture, you know,Rex ; and it will be such fun, camping down in this delightful, old-timey place, like a couple of gipsies. And Mrs. Dorokins, the landlady, was shockingly cross,yes- terday, if you remember, because the parrot would persist in squalling when she wanted to take her nap. It will be such a luxury to have a homu of one's nwn I" "You're sure you won't be lonesome here, Nan?" questioned Parson¦>, '""You know I shall havo to go down in the train that leaves Wayhorough at eight o'clock, and I shan't b3 able to return until six in the evening." "But how lovely it will ba or; Sundays and holidays." said Nannio. '•And then the long summer evenings, when we can tie up the roses and gather honeysuckles and watchthe sunsets from the front porch, and feel that all the green, lovely things around u3 are our own. And I'll tell you what, Rex—why shouldn't I invite Sophy Wilkins to stay with me here until I get settled ? She has got so much taste about muslin draperies and chintz lambrequins, and all that sort of thing, and she'll be ever so much company for me while you aro away 1" "It's a capital plan ! " said Rex. And so that thing was settled. Fortunately, perhaps; for Mr. and Sirs. Parsons had scarcely como to in- habit their new house—or, rather, the old house which had newly become their own— for twenty-four hours, when the conductor of the evening tmin sent a boy up to "The Gloaming," as Nannio had rechristened tho spot from it3 orig- inal name of "Grubb's Corners," with a note to Mrs. Parsons from her hus- hnTid '| Mt Dabling Nannie,"it ran : ''Our senior partner sails for Europe to-mor- row, at noon. We are going over all thB books to-night, and I can't possibly catch the last train. Shall stay at a hotel. Such a lucky thing, isn't it, that Miss Wilkins is there to keep you com- pany? Ever your devoted Rex." "You aren't afraid, Nannie, are you?"' said Sophy, a trifle doubtfully. "Good gracious, no!' said Mrs. Par- sons. "Poor, dear Rex—what a shame it is to make him work so hard ! I do hope he'll be head of the firm one of these day3, and then perhaps he'll have a litti o root » Sophy and Nannie locked up the house that night with great form and ceremony, and retired early, ia conse- quence of the fatigue attendant on tho sewing of carpets for tho room which had been old Mrs. Thaxtcr's "best par- lor," but which Nannie called her bou- doir. At midnight—so far as they could judge from tho sepulchral striking of a rheumatic old clock on the kitchen-shelf, a sudden wind arose, and Sophy gently touched her friend's arm. "Nannie," said she, "are yon awake?" "Yes. Why?" Do you hear tho wind banging the doors up stairs?" "Hear ,i|?: I should think I did. Sophy, we:piust^ go ;up stairs and shut tiae:garret wiidbw^; or- the whole house w^lbo ^lowriito-pieces!' ^And^o^li^^a^lli^r flannel wrappers anct crochet' Hipper-!, they crept up staire, clinging nervously to each other, especially after a particularly energetic blast hafl blown out the feebic flame of their .candle.: - ; ; :' -¦ _ "There's k mcjojj^jrouinow," said lJanDie^ia> a slish^y ifremulous yo ce. ; '^dnfyes!'' sirid^ Sopny. "It isn't at all worth TCH^e to goback a'tcr'anpther But tho light that gleamed athwart the dreiry, gaunt flooi , from the ujj - curtained wiiwlow-panes, ' revealed" "a sight that made their flesh Jgu^kV \A tall^jjjjectral fic rUro ptood beside the sroiSwy outline ' "of " the ' spinning- wheeL For an instant tho vivid noonbeama, emerging from behindtho mosies of black wind-clouds, threw the apparition into strong relief, and then all was darkness as a new rack of clouds swept over the pallid moon. Like flying birds tho two women hur- ried down stairs, palo with terror, nevor pausing until they reached the kitchen, where some remains of the evening fire yet smouldered dimly. "Sophy 1" cried Mrs. Parsons, ia an agony of terror, " what was that?" "It's a ghostI" sobbed Sophy. "A ghost! Yes, I'm sure of it I didn't tell you before, Nannie, because I didn't want to make you nervous; but I'm sure tho place is hauntedI Such a rattling of chains—" "It isn't chains," faltered Nannie, " it's only the window fastenings that have come loose, and rattle against the side of the house, Rex says so." "And such dreadfulmoanings through the halL" " It's the draught from the garret ruinflnwe " "But how do you account for that?" cried Sophy, pointing upward with a trembling finger. And Nannio could only reply by hys- terical tears and sobs. "No wonder Rex bought the house so cheap ! " said she. " I won't stay in it another night, not if I go out under the apple trees to sleep ! " And she and Miss Wilkins sat up all night, trembling at every gust of"wind, growing pale at the sound of little mice scuffling behind the wainscoting. "I'll never, never spend such a night again!"said Mrs. Parsons, wringing her hands. When Rex carao home he laughed them to scorn. "Such goose3," said he joeringly. "But we saw it ourselves, Rex!" cried Nannie. "With our own eyes!" added Sophy. "Depend on it, Mr. Parsons, there's some dreadful secret connected with that old spinning-wheel! Do get it out of the house as fast as you can 1" "What nonsense!" said Rex. But nevertheless ho ran upstairs to take, as he expressed it, "another look at tht\ tliin ir " Presently he came down again, rato- er flushed , and inclined to be angry. "Why couldn't you have told me?" said he. "Told von what?" questioned Nan- me. "That you brought that spinning, wheel down." "We never touched it!" shrieked Sophy and Nannie, in chorm. "Then, where is it?1 ' "Why, up in the garret, by the big centre beam, isn't it?" Rex stamped his foot in vexation. "There's nothing in the garret but your grandmother's old set of china,that the expressman broke so badly, three bags of hops, hanging from nails, and an emntv trunk," said he. Sophy looked at Nannie. Nannie broke into a violent fit of shudderinjj. "There's witchcraft in it," said she. "I knew there was. Oh, Rex, take me away from this horrible place t I can't breathe easily under this roof!" ••Stuff !" cried Rex. Nannie began to cry. "You—you said you loved me!" she wailed. "So I do ! " reasoned Rex. "But you know, my darling, all thi3 is so utterly ilnTPJlfiAnnhlp " Nevertheless, Nannie persisted m her unreasonableness to that degree that Rex, with his hands thrust irately into his pockets, and his hat balanced bellig- erently on the back of hi3 head, went down to see Farmer Thaxter, who, after parting with the homestead of his fore- fathers, had stolidly set up in the general grocery, shoe, crockery and dry-good3 line, about three miles down the road. "Look here, Thaxter," said he, "this is a mean trick that you've served me." "Squire," said Thaxter, dusting his hands, after measuring out threepounds of black tea for a customer, "I'm hanged if 1know what you're talkin' about!" And then, as succinctly as possible, Rex told the story of the ghost and the spinning wheel. Farmer Thaxter smote the pine counter with the flat of his hand. "Wai,there!" said he. "Didn't I tell you so? But you know, squire, what women folks is. You can't make 'cm believe nothin', when once their mind is made up; and Aunt Achsah would have her own way, spite of all I said to her. Yc see, squire, the old spinnin'- wheel b'long-to her, and it was some- how overlooked when the other things was took away. And Aunt Achsah, she's that childish and old she didn't give us a minnit o' psace abaout that there spinnin'-whcel. "Says I, 'It ain't wuth nothin' to us, nor to onybodv else.' "Says she, •Thero ain't nothm1 abaout the place as I set store by like I do that wheel. I'm, goin'to hev it' "But we didn't pay no attention to what she said, bein' she was dretful old and queer. Last ni ^ ht, mother woke me up, and says she : ' "Job, there's a dretful chatterin' clown stairs. I'm mortal sartin,' says she, 'it's burglars. Get up and see, Job,' says she. "But it warn't burglars, squire. It was Aunt Achsah, a-trundlin' in that everlastin' spinnin'-whesl o' hern, as she'd been across lots to fetch. And she told mother afterwar ds how she'd hoist- ed it outer tho window with an old clothes-line, and what a scare she'd had, with two wimmen comin' with a candle to see what all the noise was. an' how she'd hid ahind the chimney till they'd cleared out, and then crept daown the back stairs and got out by way of the harness-room door, where the bolt rust- ed away ten years ago. And I'm sorry, squire, you've had such an annoyance, but now that Aunt Achsah's got her spinnin'-wheel, I'll guarantee it shan't happen ag'in. And you may tell your w nmpn.fnlks Sft " Thus ended Nannie Parsons' super- stitious terror.?. "But I should have liked tho old spinning-wheel," said she, "for a relic."

Slaves 01 every description crown and quarrel as they till their quaint earthen jars at one of the broken down foun- tains from which the whole town is sup- plied, or go about the streets carrying goatskins, from which they offer water to thirsty passera at so much a drink. As their shrill voice3 proclaim the freshness and coolness of their stock, one realizes that he has before him an oriental custom which gives new mean- ing to Isaiah, ltii, 1 , where tho prophet calls out, as though hawking the "water of life:" " Ho, every one thnt thirsteth, come yo to the waters, como buy, with- out money and without price." These slaves form a considerable part of the population of Tangier. They are mostly of tho deep black Guinea negro type, brought from across tha Desert of Sahara, though sometimes unfortu- nates of other races are kidnapped and sold into slavery. Public auctions are frequently held in the main street of tho bazaars, at which children can be pur- chased for from twelve to twenty dol- lars, while full-grown men and women arc sold at prices ranging from fifty to one hundred dollars. Masters have ab- solu te power over their slaves, even that of life and death, and in case of sale transfer them by means of a deed, just as wr transfer 11 farm. Under tho circum- stances, it is difficult to say whuthei they arc real estate or personal property. —[ Cosmopolitan. Tangier Customs.

Palamcdes of Argos is said to have been the first commander who ranged an army in a regular line of battle, placed sentinels round a camp, and ex- cited the soldier's vigilance by giving him a watchword. A hundred, crows passing over Cum- minsvillc, Ohio, were attacked the other afternoon by thrice their number of English sparrows, who completely rout- ed the big birds. Several crows were disabled, and one was found with both eyes pecked out. CoL Week's cow, at Mikcsvillo, Fla., recently gave birth to a calf which has two heads and eight legs and feet, and tho editor of the Savannah News has had a present of a fowl which, so far as the head and neck go, is und oubt- edly a rooster, while tho lower part of the body and the legs are unmistakeably those of a duck. THE ENIGMA. Wb " ^o^I^fooWWeT. "1' " We have published in our eolumia from time to time different advertisements in re- gard to BriRbt'sDisease and its cures. What is this terrible disease) We have taken the trouble to make an In- vestigation from the best sources, and we give theresults to our readers. What astonishes usisthe general indiffer- •nee given to kidney disorders. Thekidneys do not sound the alarm of their diseasedcon- dition, owing to the fact that they have very few nerves, hence few suspect that there is any diseasein them. Irritation, Inflamma- tion, ulceration set in, and then the littlt tubes, of which the kidneys are full, are de- stroyed and thrown off, and from this fact n ni r^nlioH £uhA r>ncf*jt Assoon as thi3begins to take placeit isonly a question of how fast decomposition goes on before the disease results fatally. If the proper remedies are taken before final de- composition or waste of thesa tubes com- mences or becomes too far advanced, that is the only and last chancefor relief. It isat this point or before that Warners safe cure proves so beneficial, and maycure or stop the wasting away of the kidneys if it hasnot ad- vancedtoo far. The most remerkable thing of all our in- vestigation is the fact that the patient with Bright'sdisease has no exclusive symptoms, but has the symptoms of every common rlicattca First he may possibly feel a dull pain in his back, generally upon one side,which does not debar him from his usual business rou- tine. After a time he may begin to fee] neuralgic pains, or have a slight attack of what he may call rheumatism, or headache, with high or dark colored urine, with an un- pleasant sensation in its passage, and after standing showing an unnatural condition. Later on, come tired feelings, loss of apbi- tion .or vigor, or loss of or failing eyesight, which is very common, with a distressed con- dition of the stomach. Any one of thesa symptoms is liable to occur. This no doubt explains why the proprietors of Warner's safe cureare curing so many dis- eases. By regulating and building up the kidney3, symptoms of general ill-health dis- appear. They justly accuse the medical pro- fession o£ treating the effects and not tha cause. Finally if this disorder is neglected the patient either dies of appoplexy, pneu- monia, heart dissase, blood poisoning."con- sumption, or any other disease that the sys- tr. -n is most subiect to. There appears to be some one cause for nearly every other ailment of the human system, but up to the presenttime no one has been able to fully account for this terrible malady. We understand that the people of Germany have become aware of its fearful fatality, and have offered 400,000 marks ($100,000) to any one that can satisfactorily exulain the cause. Tipton County, Tennessee, has a phe- nomenon in the person of a young lady who has remarkable power over animals. She is able to conquer, and ride, in a moment's time, horses and mules that no one else has ever been able to handle. The most savage do» in the neighborhood quails before and never offers to molest her. Squirrels and birds come to her in the woods and eat from her baud, and many time3 she has been known to pick up a rabbit in the path, fche says that from infancy she has had this remarkable power over wild animals, but only within the past few years was she aware that she was alio a "horse tamer. " She says she is not conscious of putting forth any effort in this line, but it just "comes natural. " The only explanation that she can offer is that she has an intense sympathy and love for wild birds and animals, in re- gard to horses she is perfectly fearless, and by their animal instinct they must know it. These, she says, are the only reasons she can give.— Cincinnati Tele- cram. A Female Animal Charmer. Francis Edgar Shepperd issaid to have been the first man to use the torpedo in naval warfare. He came of an old North Carolina family, and was a graduate of the Naval Academy. He resigned when his State seceded, and entered the Con- federate Navy. Twenty-five years ago Shepperd, then a Captain in the Con- federate Navy, blew up the United States gunboat Cairo with an old-fashioned fixed torpedo fastened to the bottom of the Mississippi. Lieutenant-Commander, now Rear Admiral, Thomas O. Selfridge, was in command of the Cairo. He and his men were badly shaken , but no one was killed or seriously injured. Captain Shepperd, who was lying on the bank watching the explosion, made up his mind then and there that that was a cowardly way of lighting, and that he would not have any more of it. He never used anoiher torpedo. He died recently in Georgetown, and was buried near Philadelphia.—New Tori Sun. First Use of Torpedoes In Naval Warfare.

"Edith is so kind , and gentle , and unselfish every one likes her. Ana she has lovelv golden hair and pretty eyes. Isn't it a pity her complexion-is bo bad; it spoils her looks. And then she has such dreadful headaches! " The girls skipped alon:r, but it happened Edith' s mother had h"ard what they said. It set henhinking. Yvhat could be done for th se headaches and the rough , muddy complexion , that was suci a trial to her gentle daught e . She recalled what she had read of Dr. Pierce 'sGolden Med- ical Discovery, and on the spur of the moment she slipped into a dru store and bought a -up- ply. Edith took it faithfully, with the result that it cleared her disord ered blood, relieved the headaches , made her skiu soft, fair and rosy, and now she is not only the "swSetest girl in school," but the most beaut l nl.

Day. Enitanh on the Honest Man. Description of a Typical Coun- try Dwelling. A People Able to Subdue Cold With Little Fire or Clothing. Garter Harrison sends to the Chicago Mail this description of a Japanese dwell- ing: Imagine a house of thirty feet front and about tho same -depth—now and then considerably deeper. It con- sists of a sill on a loose stone foundation. Upright studs are at the corners and every three feet between. To these studs are lashed, with course grass thongs, bamboo lath. On both sides of this a smooth coat of plaster, composed of mud and straw (instead of hair). The story is, say, nine feot high. Above this springs a steep, half-hipped, for a ridge runs, say, ten feet, along tho centre. The thatch is a foot to twenty inches thick, very compact and tight. The ridge rises a foot above tho comb and is planted with flag or grass, and always green. This is to keep the wind from catching it. The eaves of the roof overhang two, three and sometimes four feet. Tho main story has no ceil- ing^ but above what should be tho ceiling there is n partial ceiling. This, and un- der the hanging caves of the house, is the farmer's barn, whore he stores hb utensils and all of his crop which is not immediately sold. The front of the house is open by day, closed by night About ten feet on one side of the main floor is a dirt floor. Here all rough under-cover work is done, and wood, straw, and materials for manufacture are kept. liaised above this dirt floor is a platform two and a half feet high, covering the remainder of tho hearth four feet square. On it is built the main floor or house. On this is a sunken hearth four feot square. On it is built the only fire the house ever has. Over it hangs a chain from tho roof ; it is the potrack. To it hang ono or two pots, the bulk of the cooking unteusils. At night the front of the houso is closed by sliding wooden shutters, and within the upper platform is subdivided at bedtime iuto as many compartments as the family needs or can afford. Tho floor is more or less polished, and is covered by mats. There is no chimney —smoke goes out at the opening in the ridge, or quite as often escapes by the door and rear windows. When one reflects that there is never a fire which would fill a half-bushel measure, that the Japanese wear no woolen garments, and only sandals or clogs on their feet, that the winters are cold enough to make ice two or three inches thick, and that tho ground is often white with snow, ono wonders how they live. Thero seems to be something peculiar in the physical make-up of the Japanese, as well as in their plants, which enable them to en- dure safely great cold. I am told that plants, which in America are killed by autumn frosts, here live and bloom in the midst of snow , and when the ther- mometer has gone much below the freezing point. Certainly the people have wonderful powers of endurance if their sensations are as ours nre. Every Japanese, high or low, takes his hot bath every night. He jumps into a vat of water heated from 100 to 115 degrees and enjoys the boil, and stands for hours up to his waist in cold mountain torrents, and it is sai-.l will break tho ice in winter and work up to his neck in immersion, and seems to feel no ill effect from it. He is certainly a wonderfu l animal , and ethnological data must yet be furnished to convince me that he be not indigenous to the soil he lives on.—[Chicago Mail.

In a late newspaper interview In- spector Byrnes of New York gives a re- porter some interesting facts about reading character from tho surface sij^ns on the human face. The keen inspector says he h.-is studied physiognomy all of his life, and has come to the conclusion that the general character of tho head and face have littlex or nothing to do with the character of a man. A person may have u Roman, a Grecian or a snub nose; he may be tall and slim and lank ; he may be short and "chubby," or he may bo anywhere between; lie may be blon de or dark ; ho may wear a number six or a number eight hat ; he may have a full or retreating forehead ; bis eyes may bo sunken or protruding, large or small, and yet the inspector thinks no one can tell with any degree of certainty from hi3 looks whether ho bo a saint or a sinner. After going all through the list of physiognomical traits Mr. Byrnei comes down to business, and says he never saw a smart man, cither in crime or in business, who had large flabby cars that stood of! from h'i3 head like wings. To succeed in business or to make any head- way in life the rim of a man's cars must stand in toward his head. It is the flopping, off-standing, down-hanging car that show3 weakness of character nnd of purpose and gives a man away every time. According to the inspector the man with this kind of an car is the one who is first to enter crime and .the first to confess when arrested. He brags and blows and blusters, and then " peters out" without doing anything. The long-eared man is a failure. Of course llm is simply the result of one man's observation, and cannot be laid down as a law. But Inspector Byrnes is an able man, a keen observer, and a person whose ears hug his cranium pretty closely. His opinions should therefore be entitled to some weight. If they are correct the lop-eared man must go.—[Boston Globe.

There are about twenty-two hundred medical students ia New York, writes a correspondent of the Cincinnati En- quirer. They come from all parts of the country ; from Maine to Texas, from Massachusetts to California. Many of them are graduate physicians,from other medical colleges who come here to take advantage of the hospital facilities of the city, and to familiarize themselves with the more recent systems of applied medicine and surgery. Some of them are geniuses in their way. They seemed to have failed in making progress in other walks of life, and have adopted medi- cine as a last resort. Ia appearance, they are unkempt with shabby coats and short trousers. They appear to be per- petually on the ruu to attend a clinic, and yet have plenty of time to absorb beer when invited. Poor men, most of them, who club together, hire apart- ments; divide expenses on food and books, and rush the " growler ' at night with tho enthusiasm of a Fourth Ward tough. A visitor to the Bellevuo Hospi- tal Amphitheatre where clinics are held every day, can form some idea of the material which, through tho process of evolution , makes doctors. Here are collected dudes and country- men, youths and men of middle age. Some of them will continue to study for years in vain, others are destined to shine in th< ir profession. Tho shabby little man who squints through his pair of brass-bound spectacles is astonishing- ly wise and marveloiuly recoudite on tho subjects of bacteria, thrombosis and affections of the anterior horns in tho brain . ' Sitting near him is tho mati whose head would delight any plircn lo- gist, whose intellect seems seated in his forehead, but who attaches more im- portance to his pipe and bottle than to the midnigiit oiL He has mistaken his calling. He i3 a niau of talent, un- doubted ly, but he should have exerted it in another liuo. It costs about §1,000 to become an M. D. in New York. This includes tuition, board, books aud incid.i.tal ex- nenses. The dining-room is gorgeous daring a state dinner. It i* a great oblong parlor, aslargo as the ground floor of » house thirty feet wide and forty , feet deep, and it« ceiling is so high that it would reach to the base of the windows of the second story of a city house. It lies at the left of the great promenade corridor, and its windows, lopk out on the Potomac and themonument. It ad- joins the Eed Parlor on the east, and it has windows on the opposite side of the room which look.into the grand conser- vatory of theWhite House. This is now filled with blooming flowers and tropical plants, and the glass which roofs it would carpet a meadow an acre m area. Last night the room wa» ^gorgeously decorated withflowers, though its furni- ture, by the way, is rather mean and cheap. A Brussels carpet with the figures of a camel's-hair shawl covers the floor. Dark cream paper hangs upon the wall and a light-yellow fresco hides the plas- ter of the oelling. At the two ends ol the room great gold-framed mirrors n> fleet the crowd at the table, and these stand over marble mantels upheld by pillars in the form of a woman's bust, fastened to a post-like base. The carving is fairly well done, and the kind-hearted sculptor has put a pillow on each. woman's head, m order that the marble mantel may ^not rest too heavily upoa it. These mantels were covered last night with pink azaleas, with a broken line of white camellias running through them, and the immense chandeliers, with their hundreds of pendants ef prismatic glass glittering like diamonds under the gas light, had sprays of smilax hanging upon them.—NewYork World.
