A Rial Romance.
Many years ago tlicro suddenly ap
pearod in Morchesd City, N. C, a
prepossessing youug woman calling
herself Mary Hurt. 8ho obtained
work and soon became a fnvorilo with
her acquaintances. Fifteen years af
ter, when all tho circumstances con
cerning her first appearance had been
forgotten, sho received an offer of
marriago from ono of the well-to-do
residents of the place.
tiho refuted, however, and immedi
ately after her wholo manner changed.
tiho became moody and seemed fond
ufsolitudu. tiho finally purchased a
plot of land in tho mountains, built a
log cabin and lived tlicro ulone. Tho
only hook alio had was tho Ulblo,
which slio knew almost hy heart
This story of her life was published
recently in the Ashevillo Citizen,
The article, was copied by a Vcr
moni paper, and attracted the uotico
ofltubcrl Fletcher, a prominent cili
zcuot that State. Fletcher soon after
visited Asheville, sought the editor of
the Cituen, and, together, they went
to Miis Hurt's houio. The hermit
did not recognizo tho Vcrmontcr, but
sbo toon learned that ho was her old
lover. A mistake had kept them
apart for half a century, but, when
Fletcher left Ashevillo a few days
later, Mary Burt JIowo, lor that was
the hermit's full name, accompanied
him as his wife.
Whcu Miss IIowo aad Fletcher
wero young they were engaged to be
married. Tho young woman fancied
her lover was attached to another
girl, however, and suddenly left her
homo in Maino. Going to Boston
alio shipped as stewardess on a ship
bound for Liverpool. Tho vessel was
wrecked on tho North Carolina coast,
and, after many adventures at sea in
an open boat and among triondly In
dians on land, Miss IIowo found her
way to civilization. Hobert Fletcher
traced his runaway sweetheart to tho
ship on which alio sailed, and, hearing
of tho loss of tho vessel, always
mourned her as dead till the North
Carolina paper gavo him a happy
surprise.

About Damtl.
A teacher, lost Sunday, was telling
a class of boys tho story of Daniel in
tho lions' den, when a freckled boy,
with a scar ou his faco and ono bus
pender, pushed a good-sized quid of
fiuo cut against Ihe roof of his mouth
and remarked :
"How much did he get for it ?"
"Ho received no compensation," 10
marked tho teacher, in toucs which
made clear her great horror.
"A freosho?" inquired the boy,
excitedly.
"It was no show at all," replied tho
teacher, who thought ho was skeptical,
and continued: "don't you believe
Daniel went among tho lions without
being hurt?"
"Yes," said the boy; "for I taw
that snap worked nt a circus last
week, but it was no free graft; tho
man gets sevcuty-five a week and ex
Ienses I"
Whon tho Christmas presents wero
dealt out this year that boy did not

- -Cold
Storage.
The increasing uso of cold storage
for perishablo food studs, which are
apt to bo scarco nt certain seasons, is
one of the characteristics of tho time.
Lost summer, when fresh eggs were
plentiful and cheap, a gentleman in
Chenango county, N. Y., stored in a
mammoth cooler some 5,000 barrels
of eggs. Now they sell in tho city as
"fresh laid" eggs, at a largo profit.
As the eggs aro removed the coolor is
filled up with ducks and othor fowl to
bo sold next spring. BcieutiGc

A Bishop Denounces Dancing.
In a recent sermon, Bishop Pierce,
of the Methodiit Episcopal Church of
tho South, donounced dancing as tho
silliest and most nonsensical amuse
ment that rational beings, so called,
over eugaged in, He said that it had
its origin in heathenism, being a pas
time of savages; appealing to tho
lower instincts of humanity, and bo
ing the chosen sport of the vilost and
most irubruted of the human race.

How Vaccine Virus ie Obtained.
A correspondent at Columbia, 0.,
contributes tho following: Tho Doctor
took a razor and began to shavo tho
hair from tho cow's udder. This ho
Ing accomplished in n few minutes, ho
noxt produced n sharp-pointed instru
ment and made about thrco dozen in
cislnns upon tho baro surface of the
udder or bag which holds tho milk.
This being dono, tho parts were thor
oughly sponged dry, after which he
took from a glass tubo a small amount
of queer-looking stuff and npplied to
each incision made, by tho aid of a
tiny picco of ivory, pointed at ono
end. Tlits completed Iho job. It
did not tako long, and in a short timo
tho cow was loosened from her cords,
tho pulleys wero ndjuslcd and tho anl.
mal was placed upright, or in her
original position, as easily as she had
lcon pinioned. By nnd by alio was
driven into n stall, and her head
fastened in such a way that sho could
not get n chance to apply her tongue
to tho part operated upon when tho
itching licgau.
" How long will it lie, Doctor, be
fore it will tako 7"
"About soven days. At the end of
that timo wo con get enough pure,
healthy virus to vaccinato thousands
of jMjrsnns."
"It is what is known as Bcaugency
virus, from the fact that near the
town of Bcaugency, France, this mat
ter is ' raised ' under the supervision
of the French Government, and is
imported into this country. The
'seed ' which I am using was obtained
from Dr. Murtin, of Boston High
lands, who got it direct from Bcau
gency.
" What do you do alter tho soven
days havo elapsed ? "
" Tho cow is again trussed up, and
then wo dip theso liltlo ivory points
into tho matter, a clear watery fluid
which exudes from tho sore, and after
drying them thoroughly, apply tho
virus to pcoplo who como to bo vac
cinated to escape smallpox."
i i
Testing a New Magaiine Gun,
The duplex field magazine gun wa
tried at Governor's Island tho 'other
day, in tho presence of General Han
cock and a number of prominent
ofliccrs and citizens.
The gun consists of two breech
loading rifle barrels placed sido by
side in a brass caso filled with water
to keep them cool. Tho gun is ope
rated by two men, ono to feed and
the other to di-chargo the cartridges,
which is dono by turning a crank.
During the test 200 ordinary United
States- cartridges, -15 caliber, wero
first fired in 25 seconds. Then 100
were fired in 11 seconds, and nt tho
third fire tho barrels wero emptied of
500 cartridges in CS seconds. Tho
gun rotates on a swivel, and can bo
raised or depressed at any angle.
What we Intend to Do. Wra.
K. Batch, the Boston nowspaper man
and detective, nnd for a short timo
editor of tho Philadelphia lrc$s, re
cently heard a lady say: "I wish
somebody would invent h hairpin that
would stay in one's hair." And Mr.
Balch, being of an accommodating
turn, went to work nnd invented such
n contrivance. It is getting so now
that a man can't be a successful oditor
unless he can turn his hand to almost

ald. General Sherman, when asked in
Chicago the other day whether ho be
lieved the Atlauta Exposition would
help to reconcile the South with
"other sections," answered, as re
ported by the Inter-Ocean; "It
doesn't make any difTerenco whether
they are rcoonciled or not. Tho
Almighty will tako caro of the coun
try, 1 suppose, and He will seo to
that. If tho people of the South are
not reconciled, I don't see that it can
trouble anybody except themselves.

or dislikes aro regarded in the mat

you of me while I am away," asked a

"Do you want to get mo something

"Yes, darling."

Not Enough Books to Co Around.
There is troublo In Havard College
on account of Iho admission of girl
students, an innovation that was re
cently made. It appears that tho
Collego has a largo library, provided
with "authorities" nnd sofn seals,
where tho students go to refresh their
memories ujwn certain points in their
studies, nnd tho compliment is the
girls will get down some work, of
which tlicro is only ono copy in tho
library, and when n young man comes
in and desires tho samo book ho is
obliged to wait until tho girl gels
through with it, or rlso sit down and
look it over with her.
On a recent occasion a venerable
professor entered tho library nnd was
surprised to seo no less than six girls
with books that young men were do
sirous of perusing, so desirous, in fact,
that tho two wero seated together
eagerly scanning the pages, when the
professor entered.
Tho sight fairly caused tho glass in
his spectacles to bulge out, and it
would lo a mild expression to say he
was shocked. He at once inquired
the cause of the extraordinary desire
for information that hail suddenly
sprung up, and tho young men, after
stanching the flow of blood from
wounds on their bauds, where they
had raked them on pins a few mo
menta before, told him plainly that
tlicro must bo duplicato copies of the
books provided, so that the girL could
have ono and tho young men the
other. Ho said ho would attend to it
the first thing in tho morning, and
then tho old Puritan smiled, as though
he had said something cunning.
Then ho glared around tho room at
tho girls, who, poor things, wero sit
ting with their noses close down to
tho pages of their books, and study
ing as though their hearts would
break. Then ho coughed a couple of
times, vaguely, and had tho decency
to go out.

An Ohio paper says a young lady
who graduated in a calico dress a few
years ago is now married to a railroad
superintendent who has an income of
8500,000 a year. This may bo taken
as tho basis for tho regulation of
graduation dresses hereafter. Had
sho worn alpaca sho might havo done
oven bettor, and caught the general
manager of tho road. On the other
hand, had sho blossomed forth in white
swiss, sbo might havo captured the

millions; bad sho worn silk, with
point lace and diamonds, sho might
have scooped in the conductor of a
passenger train, and had onyx stair
cases and alabaster walls to her house.

Oold and Silrer in 1881.
Iii his annual report just itrucd the
Director of tho U. S. Mint estimates
tho world's production of gold for tho
calendar year 1880 at 8107,000,000,
and nf silver at 887,500,000. Tho
consumption of tho world in orna
mentation, manufactures and tho arts
Is estimated at 875,000,000 of gold
and 835,000,000 of silver. Tho esti
mated circulation of the principal
countries of tho world is estimated at:
Gold, 83,221,000,000; full legal fen
der silver, 82,115,000,000; limited
tender, 8123,000,000 total specio,
85,759,000,000; paper, 83,0-14,000,.
000, making the total circulation, in
cluding the amount held in Govern
ment treasuries, banks, and in active
circulation, $9,d03,000,000.
Tiio production of gold nnd silver
in tho United States during the past
fi-cal year is put down as gold,
830,500,000, and of silver, at its coin
ing value, 812,100,000 a total of
878.000,000. Manufacturers of jew
elry nnd other articles nnd materinls
of gold and silver reported a con
sumption of over 810,000.000 in gold,
and nearly 83.500,000 in silver. The
Assay Office at New York delivered
to the manufacturers, during tho
year, 85.700,000 of gold in bars, and
85.100,000 in silver. Taken together,
they appear to indicate a cousump
tion of at least 811,000,000 iu gold
and 8G.000.000 in silver. The Di
rector estimates that tho special cir
culation in tho United States at the
close of tho fiscal year amounted to
8 140,000,000 in gold and 8171,500,000
in silver.
On the first of November, 1881,
the amount of specie, including bul
lion, in the mints and assay offices,
availablo for and awaiting coinage,
was 85G3,000,000 of gold and $186,

The Montreal Star says that girls
who want husbands should take this
picoe of advice. Do not be too fond
of promenading the business streets at
all hours of the day. That is, do not
make a regular thing of it. Do not
go about so that people will know for
certain that you will be " down town "
when you have no business, and do
not let the impression go abroad that
you go on the beat as regularly as
clockwork. It does not look well. It
appears as if you preferred to bo on
the hunt, rather than improving
your mind, or darning your stock
ings. It looks as if being gazed at
was your highest ambition, and seeing
men stare at you more in harmony
with your tastes than making your
home happy, and your surroundings
cosy and comfortable.

Since then they have made about 80,
