She va willing to do any kind of work, but she -couldn't wash on account of rheumatism, and she couldn't scrub be cause her wrists were weak. I've no sort of faith In such people. It destroys my confidence iu human nature." The girl stood listening until I conclud ed my harangue, a deepening color on her cheek. . "Tho-e people- were Impostors', sir," said she. "Try ine. I c:in wash, and I am willing to scrub.'' I put on my spectacles again and eyed her keenly. "What are your references?" aid I. 'I have no references, sir.

"You are frank," said I. "There is no ue iu being anything el.-e," raid he. '"Can you give me work, irif I can read French, play lln piano, embroider like a Parisian, and I can cook, Iron shirts :od niake butter." "If you have so gotnl an ciltrction," said 1. incredulously, "why don't you teach?" "Teach?" she reieatetl with a little tiiiver of a smile breaking out around her mouth. "When there are ten applicants to every vacancy among those w ho are well-known ami respected, what earthly chance should 1 stand ?" "That is true." lid I, rather liking the violet glitter of the frank bright eyes. "What is your n:'ine?" 'Annie White, sir." "Aunt rriscilla!" said I, to an old la dy, who had heard every word of the colloquy behind the leafy screen of the green vines. "Yes," said my aunt li iscilla. Betsey is gone?" "Ye," said aunt l'riscilla, "Betsey is gone." "Shall we try this girl in her place?" Xtw my aunt l'riscilla is an excellent judge of character, although she knows nothing of physiognomy, and is profound ly ignorant of tlie doctrines ot Spurz heiin. She has that sort of in'tinct which is commonly attributed to children and tlogs. So w hen my aunt Priscilla said "Yes," I knew that the matter was set tled. 'Come in," said I to Annie White. "Take off your thing. There i the kitcheu. 1 want baked potatoes and chicken pot-pie for dinner." The pot-pie was light and delicstc the pcitatoes baked to a charm. "Uood !" said I to myself "she is a good cook. And she dresses neatly, stops light as a feather, and has that soft, low voice which the poet assures us is 'an excellent thing in woman.' Now, then, this is the question is she honet?" I am a man of expedients, and one night, when Annie had been two weeks w ith us, I placed a ten-dollar bill back of the clock, in a rareles. sort of way, as if it had fallen there. Then I went to bed. "This shall be the test," said I, w ithio myself. "Aunt l'riscilla thinks Anuie is perfect. . If she is, she'll brin that money to me tomorrow. If not " Somehow I did not quite like to think what would happen if the ten dollar bill was not returned to me; so I turned over on my pillow and went to sleep. The next morplng, when I came down stairs, as. usual, I could see, at the first glance, that th. bill was gone. "Good!" quoth I to myself. "She'll bring it to me presently." But breakfast-time came, and Annie took her place behind the brlunnia coffee-pot, without the least allusion to my money. The morning wore away and still ahe went about har work, singing softly, in her ordinary fashion, and my heart grew as lieaTy as lead within my bosom. "I would rather have lost twice the money, out and out," said I to myself, "aoo.'kjar than be compelled to believe that girl a thief!" .Still I said nothing. "I'll give ler until to-morrow," thought I. But to-morrow cam., and ,stt'I An.-''! "Annie," said I quietly at sunset of the tecond day, "you have been h- about wo weeks. TVe paid our last irl eight dollars a month. Here are fur dollars. 1 think we had better part." Annie started as If some one had struck her a blow, aud grew white as death. "But, sir," she gasped, "tlou't I give satisfaction?" I shook my head. "But, please, sir, tell ine how I have offended !" pleaded poor Annie. "Jltas l'riscilla seemed pleased with me, and " "I prefer not to have any words upon the subject, Annie," I coldly interrupt ed. . "But, nt least, I may stay until Miss rriscilla returns I" "What would be the good of that?" I demanded, sharply. "Xo I Get your hat and go at once!" "Will voti not tell me hy?r "No, Twill not." - I spoke' somewhat 'brusquely for, to tell the truth, I was beginning to be out of all patience with her show of ignor ance and artlessness. She turned away, with quivering lip and silent, appeaiiug eyes, that went to my very heart. When aunt l'riscilla came home, Annie was rone. "1 ia sorry, aunt l'riscilla," said I, "but you'll have to look out for another girl." "Another girl !" echoed aunt l'riscilla. "Why, where's Auuie?" "Gone." " "Anme gone! and why?" "She has stolen a ten-dollar bill. I left it there, behind the clock case, u Tues day evening, as a test ol her honesty. On Wednesday morning It was gone " "Of course it was gone," breathlessly Interrupted aunt l'riscilla, untying her bonnet strings, and using the bonnet it self as a sort of impromptu fan," of. course It was gone, for 1 took it myself!" "You, aunt Priecilla?" ! "Why, of course I did. I wanted to j teach you a lesson, for what I supposed i was your carelessness. 'I'll just hide the ! bill,' says I to myself, 'and let him think j he's lost it.' Here it is now." And aunt l'riscilla, diving into the depths of her pocket, lUbed out I lie. Men- j lira I ten dollar bill. j I started first at her ami then at iu j "Well," said 1, In accents of calm de- i liberation, "I have discharged Annie for stealing that bill." j Aunt l'riscilla began to cry. i "1'oor dear Annie!" sobbed she; "ami j I had grown so fond of her." ' - I glanced at uiy watch. Barely hall" an j hour had elapsed since Anuie White had goue. There was but one road she could have takeu. I believed it was possible to overtake her, aud strode away as if I were I on a iirst-class pedestrian iiiaUIi. Yes, that was she, iu the shadows of the purpling dusk, sitting on a fallen tree-trunk ou the roadside, her head in her hands, her bonnet lying on the grass beside her. '. ,.-.' . - "Annie !" -' - - '- . She started up with a low cry of sur prise. . "Come back to us, Annie. Forgive us ! We have misjudged you cruelly !" And then I told her all, and asked her pardon. Xeed 1 ay-lhat Anuie White came back to us ? Or is it necessary to add that she became my dear and cherished wife at Christmas tide? 1 think not, for life is full of such strange, sweet romances. - Full details of the unfortunate affair of ilrs. Dingle's hired girl have not yet come to light, but enough is known to warrant the statement that a more la mentable accident has rarely occurred in St. Louis. Mrs. iJiugle lives in a nice house on ltcuton street, goes in good so ciety a good deal and dresses well, and, as a matter of course, the hired girl imi tates her mistress as far as possible in the attention she pays to personal adorn ments. Mr. Dingle appeared in a pull back the other morning, with a bustle, which attracted the hired girl's admira tion, and as it was Thursday, and she would have the afternoon to go out in, she resolved to appear in a bustle like that of her mistress at all hazards. She went at once to constructing the attach ment to her dress, but found great diffi culty in making the bustle in its outlines follow the depressions and convolutions of the one she was imitating until the happy thought occurred to her to utilize the clothes-line iu giving form to the ob stinate protuberance!. She went out and aud took the clothes-iiuc down and as certained subsequently by w inding the coil of rope up closely that it made the perfection of stuffing for the bustle, springy, undulating and pliable. She used sixty-three feet and a half of rope in ail, r.ud was perfectly, siiieitied with Iter work. At 3 o'clock hi the afternoon she started out for u promenade aud to keep an engagement with her voting man, a street-car driver, at present out of business. The hired girl did't take a street car, but walked down town, feeling that alter taking so much pains, she w as too tine a figure of a woman not to show herself. She enjoyed the walk immense ly until she had nearly reached Frank lin avenue, when she felt a slight twitch In the rear. She turned but didn't no lice anything. Around the corner, though, she heard a boy calling out "sas siugers!" ami another one across the street yelled "snaix !" She went on her way with scoru, when she felt the twitch again, and looking around this time she saw something. She saw a Miiall rope reaching back around the corner, and from the manner in which it moved she knew that a boy must have hold of the other end of it. The dreadful clothes line iu her bustle had become loosened at one end and the boys had got hold of it! She knew they hadn't got it all yet, for she could feel it paying out like hose from a reel. At first she nearly fainted away, and then she started to run, but it was of no use. The boys played her as a fish erman would a trout, antl showed a great deal of science, keeping a moderately taut line but running along near euougii to the hired lo prevent too great a strain ou the tackle. They would have landed her somewhere, probably, but that she had presence of mind to snatch up a hay kuile ou exhibition in front of a hard ware store and cut the rope with it. Xo sooner was she free than she darted for a street-car and went home again. She wouldn't meet her young man with a fiat bustle, and the loss ot her clothes line had left her absolutely without any stylc whatever. When she got home she had a high fever, and it was m her deliri um that she gave to Mrs. Dingle all the details of the distressing occurrence.

He takes up the pro les hull quite often upon the same princi ple that a hoss d ok tor doz hix, not be kause he is fit for the bizzness, but just to have one in the uaborbood.

Gen.

I have had an opportunity of seeing some of the armies of Europe since then the French, Prussian aud Austrian and I tell you it will be down hill work to light them, compared to our late foes." The Senate, the Administration, atl the Ring courts at Washington have all combined to thwart and to defeat further investigation into the frauds and corrup tion which have thus far astounded the country. The Republican leaders er celve that if the exposures continue to be made as they have begun, defeat at the Presidential election is certain. They know how much is yet concealed, anil they dread the consequences that must follow new proofs of an organized :- tern of robbery and rascality, such as has already been found in almost every j braucL of the public service. The Houston (Texas) Telegraph Indul 1 ges in the following sensible remarks: j A nut for railroads to crack. ' An aver I age acre of ground produces, say, half a j bale of cotton. Forty bales make a car- load. To produce 400,000 bales requires suo.iioo acres, and to transport it employ ment is given to 10,000 cars. This 8tH, 000 acres of land, if cultivated in wheat, would produce sixteen million bushels, and to transport that would give employ ment to 40,000 cars. Every acre of land iu Texas that the railroad compa nies can get chaugedfrom cotton to w heat Is au increase of employment to them of three dollars a year, and of net profit at least one dollar. This is aleoagooduut for ship owners to work on, and for mer chants to consider, and for the exchange to discuss, and for bank parlors to talk about. There is more in it than appears upou the surface, aud if such talk leads to a largely increased acreage iu wheat the coming fall, it will be worth more than half a million of immigrants aud two constitutional conventions. The following are some of the reasons of the St. Louis Republican for prefer ring paper money to silver: When you tell 'your w ife that you have no money she will say you lie, for she heard it jingle.

ThU section was visited Sunday by a splendid rain. Crops are looking unu sually promising just now. Quite a sensation was produced in the Gilchrist neighborhood recently upon the announcement rk-- there would be a gathering of the neighbors at a certain man's house, for the purpose of raising a smokehouse. This individual had al ways held that smokehouses were a nuis ance, and detracted from the appearance of a nice borne. He had always argued) vehemently, and sometimes eloquent r. against smokehouses, and when it was circulated that he had concluded to build one, everybody thought that he wa ver ging on mental aberatlou, or that some body was trying to perpetrate a huge joke at his expense. At any rate tbe house-went up, and therefore another wife is made happy In ber old age. "The wise may chauge, but fools never do."

I can hardly think that there will be a start ing westward movement to tlie paradise of American Polygamy as the result ol the teachings of its disciples in these parts. Au old preacher held -that he could always estimate the amount of good his preaching accomplished by the stir it produced in the devil's camp. If this be a correct standard of measuring resnlts, the old orinMon follower, who hasbeeu preaching through this country for a month, can solace himself with having done a good work, for lie has caused a stir in the cauip of his foes. One old la dy, In a rage of passion, produced by dis cussing the subject of plural marriages, w ith her nearly converted husband, said she would like to be favored with the op portunity of tying the rope around his neck. At another time there was strong talk of closing the doors of a church a gainst the old heretic as they styled him, but reason prevailed aud he was suffered to preach. I am not an advocate of plu ral marriage, I don't believe that Joe. Smith wa a prophet, or that Brigharn has any such gifts, but I do believe that the Mormons have done more to demon strate the capacities of fallen man to la bor, endure and suffer, thau any sect or race of people now living. They have exhibited a daring willinguess to bear the severest hardships, ami the niot un relenting iiersecution for :he "faith that is Iu them." They have been tried in the lire, but have not been found want ing in determination to tin and die for the maintainnnce of their prim Iples.

RAGGED EDGE. May 25th, 1870. Tae Great West. OMMracs OF TXXAS ITS 1MMKNSK Rr- aoracaw, rrc. Texas extends from the 25th to the 3(ith parallels ef tbe north Iattitude, and lies between the 16th and 30th meridians of loagitade, west from Wbfigtcn, it embraces au expanse of country that reaches within one-half degree as far south as the most southerly limit of Flor ida, while, iu northern boundary is on tbe same parallel as the northern bounda ry of Tennessee. A section of country 0 located must necessarily comprise within limits every variety 0 soil and climate. The substantia! cereals of the northerly sections of Ute United States, tbe beet fruits and prod tarts of the Middle States, and many oX the fruits of the iroplcs flourish in Texas. In point of climate, the thermometer never range as high as in the latitude north of us. For tlie past twenty-five years the thermome ter at the city of Houston and other places, has never shown a temperature above 85" F., whilst at but one timet in the eoldest weather has it reached as low as 10", and rarely Indeed does it go below SO". Never has there been a case of sun stroke in the city of Houston or Austin, and but one is now remembered Galves ton. The average of the heated term, one year with, another, for 24 hours is about 84 . Tlie climate and seasons are eminently oonducJre to the production of sugar, corn, cotton, tobacco, wheat, oats, rye, millet and all the vegetable of the gardes cabbage, Irish potatoes, sweet potattocs, ouions, lettuoe, 'radish, beets and every other variety that could be tMeeUoatSNj apples, peaches, -peat, tigs, grapes, jUua, etc. The soil varies iu fertility according to location . While the. greater portion of the country is prairie, either level or t oll ing, and Iu soli is as productive as any land of that character, and far more pro ductive than any nnmanured land in New England, New Yoik or the British islands, and the continent of Europe. There are considerable portions of the country bordering en the rivers of tlie most inexhaustible fertility. This soil is alluvium, resting upon a stratum of marl and clay; Ue soil itself is oftentimes from 10 to 40 fee in thickness, and a crop of corn, year after year for forty years, open the same ground, has failed to weaken iu resources. Fertilizers are al most unknown. Even the open prairie, of which millions of acres, now un fenced, can be had at frora 25 cents to one dollar per acre, has capacities of production fully equal to the maintenance of a dense population. In the wheat region the average production has been 15 to 30 bushels per acre. This "wheat region is of very broad extent; it embraces in ex panse of country, equal to 60,000 squre miles, of which, doubtless four-fifths is arable lands. This 60,000 square miles is capable Itself of supporting a population of five mnilens. The wheat in all this region ripens In May, and can be harvested and sent to New York before the wheat crop of that State begins to grow in the spring. The cotton region Is co-ex tensive with the wheat region, and embraces besides near 20,000 miles of territory not adapted to the production of wheat. The cotton crop raised by the owner of the soil and with his own labor, is as pro fitable as any crop iu the . country. Twelve bales have been raised to the hand, ten bales is not unusual, and six may be considered a fair average, besides corn and other crops. And with the im proved machinery which is fast flowing into the country, it will not be out of place to consider the possibilities of pro duction far above what has yet been ex perienced. Tlie crop of the State In 1870 was about half a million bales, in 1SJS about three-fourths of a million. The population of the Sute is near two millions, having increased near half a million during the year 1875. The ex port value of the cotton crop alone is over thirty dollars for every inhabitant, and when to this is added sugar, beef. hides, wool, pecans, wine, etc., it will amount to fifty dollars to each inhabi tant. What other Sute, North or South, East or West, can make such a showing lor its agriculture? What shall we say of the gardens to matoes seven months in the year in the open air; beets, cabbage, lettuce and yam potatoes the year round : beans, peas and other vegeubles nine months; strawber ries four months in the year; and dew berries three months. These are a few of the Inducements Texas effers to the immigrant. We do not mention stock raising, by which such vast fortunes have been made, nor wool w hich can be pro duced at a cost of seven or eight cenu per pounu, nor wme from native grapes of which millions of barrels now mature and are untouched every year. To recite the list of productions open to the enterprising agriculturalist, would require far too much space. Special men tion w ill be made of staple production further along. Notwithstanding the im mense iufluxof people from the older State fr tiie Ilaiit fiTe years, lands are still abundant in the market, and obtain able at lower rates than in any other State in the Vuion. So wide au area will be long iu filling up, and not until our census shows several millions of people, may we look to ee choice lands tliiliciilt to obtain. - Texas Invite 0t honest yeo manry of the seaboard Kutes ai well as tbe ftorcli and a-est, to Dotue ami occupy her coil. Wa need uea, who having been good citizens all tbeir lives, will be good citizens here. We need mra accus tomed t obey la. laws. We need the muscle and skill of the Eastern and northern farmer, accustomed to dig his llvliigesitof an nnwllllog soil, to bring u rich lands to their capacity. Texas willingly offer a borne and eucouraga tnent to the liamigraut from Europe, de sirous af engaging in either agricultural or anewhanical pursuits. V offer aa a baae and field tor enterprise to the south rn farmer, far surpassing anything to gas found east of Lae HUslasippi. To all good torn of whatever religion or politics or nationality, a hearty wel come la extended. . . . C . A Woan totii Wis. Tlie shrewd af) vertlser does not waste money on adver tising schentesthat promise well but pay nothing. Ii J-oks very wc!i to placard it a (jlluC a. aua liu ti that descendant of the ancient Egyp tian inhabit this land, unlet they take it for specimens of aboriginal picture writing. tMien aaveruseiiieiuv, cueap a it is, is utterly worthies. Advertising is not something you force the public th read, or lie in wait for it and seduce 1 : . to reading. Advertisement is plain, r; tk-al.and business-liks, or else it is wen less. That is I" something for a com munity who purcli to read because they want to purchase and read for In formation. The public forms lu opin ions from advertisements, and one thing will strike one classy another, another class, anl everybody will be very well suited in the euJ. The public may be fooled, it may make mistakes, but It don't make very grievous blunders. It Is a tol erably shrewd, sharp public. The entire tendeucy of to-day is away from picture writing and hieroglyphics on walls, fen ' ces and bridges. Shrewd, sharp men used It once, and It was attractive, sin gular, and had its effect. Uth.rs follow the beaten lh, long after the shrewd, sharp men have seen that any benefit from that source is over, and have adop ted new methods. At beat it benefited mainly quack medidues. Advertising in newspapers, ou the con trary grows as business Increases, and trade multiplies. Tt -widest and most Uioroncbiy worked business eornniunt ties show the largest advertising In newspapers. In New York it is larger than any where in this country, and the Herald contains massive, crowded col umns of small advertiscmenU in small type. In London, an older and a mors crowded busiucss community, the limes Issues fonr pages with nothing but small crowded -advertisements. Shrewd busi ness men do not throw their money a way. nor put it where there is 113 return week after week and year after year. They put It there because it pay, because there are m-n who are as anx ious to buy as they are to sll, and who will read advertlsemenU. Any man can advertise his business on a gate post, on a rock, on a bridge, on a log, on a tree, but who reads them ? No body. We don't seek: Information there. Any man can do that. It cosU but little. It requires, however, a certain busires sunding to advertise in a good imws paper. It requires a business that is worth soaaathing, or that its proprietor erpecU to make worth sonvethlir, to ad vertise in newspapers. The quack can't do it long, for he will break down, and fail to coiae up to his. professions. -The merchant who is trot bVtdng a straightfor ward, honest, saftt business, keeping his stocks tip to all h represents them to be, can't advertise lorr in a newspaper, for every advertisemaut is bringing the end of his career that much closer, because he is advertising one tiling and doing an other. It is tlie solid, safe business man who can best afford it and him it pays best. The shrewd community Is a vast deal sharper than many people give it credit for. It does not look to the fences or brli'.ges where any man can pnthis card lor a mere song antl keep it tn.rs for nothing, but to the newspapers, where only a steady, ood business caa afford a steady advertlsemenU We have a direct, personal interest in this, of couse, but it is plain, common sense, and justified by the experience of shrewd business men.
