How to 1'erfrme Note Paper, Etc.?Get a few quires of blotting-paper and sprinkle the sheets with the perfume desired; then put the blotting under a weight until it becomes dry. When dry. put note-paper, envelopes, etc.. between the sheets, and place them under a weight for a few hours; remove them and they will be found perfumed. The blotting sheets may be utilized again and can be made to retain their perfume for a long time by keeping them free from exposure to air. Bone Felon.?A person w ho has to suffer j with a bone felon has to endure excruciating ; pain. Upon the high authority of the London i Lnru-t t the following (said to be) certain cure is given: "As soon as the disease is felt, put directly over the spot a fly blister about the size of your thumb nail, and let it remain for six hoursat the expiration of which time, directly under the surface of the blister, may be seen the felon, which can be instantly taken out with the point of a needle or a lancet." foot and Mouth Disease.?It cannot be too j extensively known that a cure of foot and mouth disease can be effected iu a few days by the use of salicylic acid. A solution of the acid is prepared by dissolving three tablespoonfuls of acid in a gallon of water, with which the mouth and feet are washed three times a day. A little of the powder should also be sprinkled, after washing between the hoofs. Two tablespoonfuls of the acid should aiso be added to the drink of each beast during the day. A cooling aperient of half a pound of saits, a quarter of an ounce of nitre, and a quarter of an ounce of ginger will be of advantage, together with great attention to cleanliness. Old Time Pork and Beans.?Take two pounds of moderately lean side pork, to two quarts of marrow-fat or other beans. Put the beans to soak over night. In the morning after breakfast scald and scrape the rind of the pork and put on to boil an hour before putting in the beans. Set the beans to boil in a separate pot, In half-warm water. If the water used is of hard lime stone use a teaspoonful of soda to the first water. After boiling a short time drain through a cullender and put on fresh water and let boil until quite tender. Then add the pork to the l?eans and let simmer until nearly as stiff as mashed potatoes. Then put into a baking dish; score the pork and place in the center; brown in the oven one hour. Great care should be taken not to let the beans scorch when they are boiling.?New York Tribune. 8roar an'd Coffee.?Sugar, which with many doctors has a bad reputation, is an excellent aliment which assists digestion, and should not, says M. Leven, be proscribed in dyspepsia. By experiment, digestion of meat is found to take place much more completely when sugar is added. Coffee exerts both a local and general action, operating locally by means of its tannin, by diminishing the calibre of the vessels, but acting on the general economy by exciting the ervous centers and the muscular system. It renders digestion slower, and is only ol good effect by relieving the feeling of torpor after meals. Its injurious action on digestion may be corrected by adding sugar so as to counterbalance its effects on the mucous membrane. Thus adding sugar to coffee is not only a pleasant practice, but one contributing to digestion. The Washing and Shrinking of Woolen Articles.?Professor Art us, who has devoted himself to the discovery of the reason why woolen Clothing, when washed with soap and water, will insist upon shrinking and becoming thick and acquiring that peculiar odor and feeling which so annoy housekeepers, says these evil effects are due to the decomposition of soap by the acids present in the perspiration and other waste of the skin which the clothing absorbs. The fat of the soap is then precipitated upon the wool. These effects may be prevented bv steeping the articles in a warm solution of washing-soda for several hours, then adding some warm water and a few drpps of ammonia. The woolens are then to be w ashed out and rinsed in lukewarm water. The Professor further tells us that flannel which has become yellow by use may be w hitened by putting it for some time in solution of hard soap to which strong ammonia has been added. The proportions he gives are one and a half pound of hard Curded soap and two-thirds of a pound of strong ammonia to fifty pounds of soft water. Make-believe Terrapin.?Of course, It's a ham, for there ain't nothing In this world that can take the shine out of a real terrapin, still, if you ain't got none of these nice creeturs you can manage to make shift with a calf's head. You don't w ant a whole head of a calf, but boil It Just the same, but don't sluice it with all the water in the reservoir, only enough to cover it, and in that water put a couple of onions and salt and pepper. When boiled tender, take Sav half the meat, half the tongue, and a tablespoonful of the brains. Cut it up, but not too fine. Put into a frying pan a quarter of a pound of the best butter, and bring it up to a light brown, mixing in a very little sifted flour when it is off the fire, and a little cayenne penper. and just a I inch of sweet marjoram. If you put herbs into ot boiling butter it maks a bitter taste. Then stir the sauce with a little of the water the calf's head was boiled in. Then put in your chopped up calf's h?*ad. Place it on the fire again?not to cook, but to get hot only?and last of all pour in two wine-glasses of Madeira, but if you haven't that, let it besherrv. Though it ain't terrapin, it's good all the same.?Lob U*e Sea Cook, in N. i T. Times. ! Vienna Coffee.?In making coffee at the j large cafes of the Kathner Ring, iu Vienna, the 1 coffee is prepared as follows: To make six ; , quarts, one pound six ounces of coffee are used, i Within a very heavy cylinder or urn, that is i securely pinned to the floor or table, there is fitted a coarse sieve, a piece of cord or rope surrounding the sieve making it fit tightly. Over the sieve there is placed a piece of canton flannel. fastened down by means of an iron ring that fits into the ring w hich holds the sieve. Attached to the sieve is an iron frame, with a hook at the top. The sieve is pressed to the bottom of the cylinder, the coffee placed upon the flannel, and boiling-hot water poured upon it. This receptacle is then closed and covered, and allowed to stand six minutes. A screw fitted into an iron frame is then hooked on to the frame holding the sieve, which is then forced toward the mouth of the urn. the pressure forcing the infusion through the canton flannel. The coffee is then ready to be served with hot milk and whipped cream. For the use of families a coffee-pot of a somewhat novel character is employed. This is more complicated than the simpie contrivance described above. The water is boiled by means of an alcohol lamp underneath the pot. When the water boils the steam passes through a tube and through the finely ground coffee, which has been placed loose in the top. and protected by several strainers. A glass top enables the" operator to see when the coffee is ready for use. and when finish**d the glass cover is removed and a metallic one put in its place. This process secures a perfect infusion of the coffee without loss of aroma, and it has made \nenna coffee deservedly popular.?Coffee from Plantation to Cup, Tkurber.

FITZGERALD'S MABRIAGE. < The lion. Lucius Fitzgerald walked up and 1 down the breakfast room at Abbotscraithie with 1 his hands in his trousers pockets, jingling his 1 money. Well, he was perhaps hardly as yet re- ] accustomed to the sound. His young wife? i they bad only been married six months?sat at ' the table, behind the tea and coffee parapher- 1 nalla, watching him while she very assiduously , knitted a eoarse Knickerbocker stocking. ] Something had evidently produced a twIstTn 1 the skein of their hitherto unentangled bliss; * fur the breakfast was untasted, and was getting ] cold. , "It is the first request you have refused me; i but I suppose you do not think me good enough 1 for your swell acquaintances," said the lady at ' last, swallowing a little sob. " Really, Amelia, the way you put things is , too ridiculous. Not good enough! Because I i object to Lady Constantia Yerulain and her daughter being invited to Abbotscraithie. What can they have to do with you? I simply do not , want them." "Yet they were your most Intimate friends i before your marriage." ' ** Perhaps I have quarreled with them." 1 "Nonsense! I saw an envelope addressed to | you in Miss Ycrulam's writing, only a week or i two ago." "It was merely a line of congratulation. The . Yerulams were abroad when we married." j And Mr. Fitzgerald, a deep flush mounting all ] over his face, sat down opposite his wife, and 1 began to busy himself by uncovering the dishes. 1 "W ell," she persisted, "let them come "and 1 congratulate you in person. It is very ill- I ] natured of you not to have them here." You ? know I want to find a nice wife for Percy, and 1 he is coining for the shooting on the 10th. i "Confound I'ercy!" muttered Mr. Fitzgerald i behind his mustache. "Well, do as you like, 1 I'll make no further opposition." < And flattering himself with the idea that he 1 had striven his utmost to do right, he now re- < signed himself deliirhtedly to wrong doing. I Amelia Fitzgerald is the daughter of a north j country manufacturer, who left her many t thousands of pounds in hard cash, with part of ^ which Abbotscraithie has lately been purchased. \ It is a handsome stone house, in the center of a < fair Lowland estate, bonnie with moor and forest. Riches apart, she is a lovahle little j woman enough; }et Lucius does not love her, f and for no more valid reason than that she is 1 not somebody else. Then why have married | her? The question is only too pregnant, the : answer too obvious. When a mutual friend, a match-making woman, had fir>t broached the i subject to him, he answered at once: I "Can you ask me? If the young lady is fool | enough to marry me. here I am, and let s waste * no more words about it." ( Amelia Huggins was not long from the school- i room, and lull of sweet school-room is) i views of 1 love. The younger son of an earl, five feet eleven, i handsome, and apparently charmed with her; I w hat more could she want? 1 Now. Lucius was no abandoned wretch; he was simply a voung man whose six or eight 1 jears of lite had dispossessed him of about dou- i ble the number of thousands which had ever be- < longed to him?Oh, a very vulgar miracle as i times go?and he had latterly?that is, for the 1 past year or two?saddled himself with a desperate passion for Berthe Verulam, and which, 1 alas, she fully returned. ] As neither of these ill-starred lovers had any < money, or even a reasonable expectation of be- 1 ing leit some, Lucius felt no sort of scruple in I offering his heart to the willing Amelia. Calmly ] considered by an impartial observer, the trans- i action might look very like selling an estate with a heavy undeclared mortgage upon it. To the a Honorable,yet impecunious.Fitzgerald, however, 1 it appeared but in the light of that time-honored i course, " The only thing to do, by Jove!" i Ah. and he would do his duty like a man. he < would. No more flirting now. Of course, if 1 they met much, it would be awkward?deuced i dangerous (with another "by Jove!") Well < they mustn't meet, that's all. ' i You see, Lucius thought himself quite a good i man. I don't want to say a word against him, I only if he is one. then there are plenty of good '< men about, that is all. So much the better that I there should be, of course. < His young wife, though hardly of what you would call strong character, inherited from "the i late Huggins a large share of that pertinacity I which he had turned to such good account; and i she pours out the coffee this morning with an 1 air of innocent triumph in her blue e} ea at hav- i ing carried her point. i "And so Mrs. Fitzgerald insists on Lady Yeru- i lam and her daughter being invited," mused her husband. "The Verulams of all people in the i world! For Percy, too! As if Birdie Verulam ] (as she was called, her real name being Bertha,) I would marry Percy!" I Percy is A*melia'"s brother, older than she is i by four or five years. Rich, of course. Hugirins senior left his thousands equally divided, i But the son had not acquired any of that gen- l tleness and good breeding which seem to have come to the sister as if by magic.

If only they I would send an excuse? But no. Circumstances i would never go and risk their cherished old 1 reputation for spitefulness. How they must i sniilenow?that is, if thev ever do smile." I So cogitated Lucius; and his little burst of wicked exultation at losing the battle rapidlv f gave way to ever-increasing doubts and fears", t He was sufficiently grand seigneur to remain t uncrushed by the Percy trouble. "Va pour c le beau-fr?re;" but the other matter seemed, as be reflected upon it. to hourly contain less' * and less of what was sweet, and more and t more of what was decidedly bitter. Granting that there is always something of rapture c in meeting our soul's ideal once again, a so long, that is. as she is not on the arm of a a successful rival, what good could possibly t come out of tnls untoward encounter? And for f a momentary thrill, a joy that was first cousin i to a sorrow, was it worth while to jeonardize even such very gray-colored domestic felicity as f now belonged to him? Yes, the more he t thought of it, the less he liked the prospect, t v isions of strange heartrending scenes, tragic t duets, and more tragic trios, began to fit across i his brain by night and dav. After all, he had I suffered marvelously little for the want of Miss 1< \ erulam's society since his marriage. Indeed this had often been a subject of wonder to him! a He was really comfortable enough with Amelia, r and as to romance, passion, ecstasy?was the n whole thing worth while? Was he hot getting c lust a shade too old. or, to put it plainly, too fat t and lazy, for these fatiguing toys? s All this time Amelia was perfectly happy and h serene; for when Lucius was with her he was p more than ever aux jieiits soins; and then had t: ?he not gained her own why in the matter of in- v viting these Yerulam.s? 1 And they were coming, too. "Were goin^ to ii pay other visits in the neighborhood, "and b should be so delighted," Lady Constantia's note li had said. For some days before they arrived, Mr. Fitz- a gerald iiad a good deal of spare time on his o hands, with which his wife did not interfere t She was soengross?Hi in her first hospitable pre- v parations, and in adding touches of beauty to t the somewhat hastily furnished rooms, that she h had little leisure to bestow on her husband, n Tiie quittance would have been, perhaps, some- f thing of a mercy at any other time; but as hour s after hour passed on. and the time approached s nearer for the arrival of the Yerulams, Mr. Fitz- f gerald grew more and more dejected, till at last s even Amelia was compelled to notice it, and she inquired with some solicitude what ailed him. C Of course he brisked up suddenly and said "Nothing." How could he own that he either a longed for or feared the arrival of these people? s In point ol fact, he was absolutely beginning to a dread it. t "You will go and meet them at the station t Lucius? It wiH be so uncivil to let them come Ii up here all alone. But I think I had better stay d and receive them In the hall; that is the way is ' it not. in your world ?" ' t "Yes, yes. You always hit the right mark, t love;" which wan more than he did, for he bobbed n down and kissed her plump on the nose, and 1 barely smiled at his mistake. e With this he dashed out of the room, leaving $ Amelia a little bit disconcerted at his ill-con- r cealed excitement. A moment later she heard L the sound of wheels, and looked out of the window. Mr. Fitzgerald, in a white-chapel, was J going down the drive. "(ioneto meet the Yerulams in that thing! n Impossible!" cried his wife. "I ordered the e carriage." Bat Lucius Fitzgerald had gone to meet the li Yerulams, and so had the barouche. He would a just drive himself to the station, and see tliem into it, lie thought; after all, it would only be courteous. 1 8:30, and the little station at Abbotscraithie to t in a state of fluster, for the train from the sonth I is due; visitors, too, are expected up at "the house." and porters are running hither acd I thither, eacti more anxious than the other to t *l.ow assiduity and attention. And I naturally enough, too.

No one, however impresae though they all seem, is in so great a state of real fluster as the master of "the bouse" himself, impassive as he looks, standing there on the platform, lis usually long. pale face Just a little longer ind paler than ever; his large, dark eyes burring just a little more brightly in their deep letting of heavy lash. At lait the bell has rung, and the train pants with slow dignity into the station. Still Lucius Fitzgerald does not move, but loans on. as though watching to be recognized, against the sffice-door. A second more and the bright color mounts to his brow, and then suddenly fades iway into a sort of blue pallor. He walks forward to a carriage, but with no haste; yet, from that carriage window is gazing on him a fair young girlish face, a lace such as even an indifferent passer-by in a crowded thoroughfare would turn to look at; such a face as a painter might have chosen for a Calypso when looking seaward from the shores of Ithaca. It had the stamp of a blighted love upon it. A busy porter opened the carriage-door, and Lady Conatantia, fat. rubicund, and fifty, came tumbling out. "How do you do'Mng Lucius with easy familiarity. He gave his hand to the srirl. She did not attempt to speak as she stepped down on the platform, though her hand seemed to linger in his just a moment longer than was necessary. Perhaps it was ttie whis[>ered "My darling!" which he uttered in a very low ton** as she stood beside him, which so surprised twr that she forgot to be conventional. What right had he to call her "darling," with Amelia sitting at home waiting for them, and in spite of the far-off pained look in the sweet Birdie's eyes, which should have thrust the word back unspoken intb his heart? It did not t>ririir a glad look into her face, as "darling" uttered by Lucius Fit zgerald six months ago would lave done. All the sunshine and joy had died jut of Birdie Verulam's life since then. She turned away from him and spoke to her maid ibout the luggage, as though seeking refuge in i triviality. Why had she come to Abbotscraithie? Even Amelia, had she lx?en at the station that lay, could not have failed to note that Birdie Verulam had been to Lucius in the past what -very law of honor forbade that she could ever se still in the future. Like Lucius, Birdie was ! iccomplishing her destiny; like Lucius, she had i i firm belief in her own strength. How utterly iveak they both were perhaps they discovered ivith startling reality as they stood side by side >u the Abbotscraithie platform. Lady Const ant ia was Birdie's step-mother, md the girl was dependent on her for food, shelter, and clothing?utterly dependent; and ler father's chattering, good-natured, shallowtated widow was calculating, though kindly, uid had. moreover, but a limited income. To marry Lucius, Birdie knew was utterly mpossible?knew it from the moment the first ove-flutter agitated her heart,; so she resigned lim?gave him with her own free will to Amelia. She had a morbid longing to witness the success of her work, and had accompanied her mother to Abbotscraithie, deluding herself into the idea that she would henceforth endure the fo'.d in her life with less bitter panes if she were jut allowed to see Lucius rich, happy, and contented. So when Lady Constantia told her that she lad received an invitation from Mrs. Fitzgerald, ?id in her blindness and her love of living at Jther people's expense suggested that they should accept it, Birdie had offered no opposition. She got into the carriage and seated herself >y Lad^ Constantia's side, the maid opposite. Lucius proceeded thera in his cart. He had ;hosen wisely in leaving Birdie to her reflec:ion8 for a whiie; furthermore, he went up the jack way into the stable-yard to avoid being present wheu Birdie and Mrs. Fitzgerald should meet. He could easily make an excuse for not being it his post to fulfil the ceremony of introduction. Perhaps, even in the abstract, he was right, iltbough his action, or, rather, inaction, in the matter was due on this occasion solely to his in:lination. Where people are bound nolens coletis to make themselves acquainted, the formality of an introduction is very likely better emitted. At all events, in this instance the iffair passed off comfortably enough, and the mpressiou on all sides was favorable. But this Fact by no means tended to mend matters as far is danger was concerned, and Miss Verulam was too wise and too honest to deceive herself into a contrary belief. When a woman allows herself to love a marked man. she may tell her conscience that every ault from the wife palliates her guilt; but she must be morally blind, indeed, if she imagines that all the qualities of all the angels centered n the wronged one would ever have weighed witii her in the indulgence of her unlawful passion. There w as something artless?an evident desire to like and be liked?about the woman in possession which went straight to "the Birdie's lieart and disarmed her?disarmed her of anyill'eeiing against Lucius' wile?that is to say? no more. " This is the first time I have ever met anv eally great friends of ray hu?band." said Amelia, souring out the tea, "and you don't know low I have been looking forward to your comng." Lady Constantia declared herself delighted to je there, but the journey? "Oh that railway carriage! I thought I should lave died of heat apoplexy; and that horrid >ld-young man?ridiculous creature, he must lave been fifty at least?would insist upon laving the windows up all the time, and Birdie vould not snub him. Why would you not, Birdie? Oh. lie was good-looking?very, but lot my style; in fact, quite one of the 'have jeens.'" She was something of a rattle, was her Udyihip, and not over-particular about being lisened to. This the Birdie had long since ascerained. At that moment she was drcamingly :ontemplating Amelia. "How a man might love that sweet little voinan if she had only got the first chance of ?im!" was the mental ejaculation. Dinner that night was a not altogether suc:essful attempt at being festive. Percy had irrived just before, and decidedly second rate is were his jokes and general behavior, more ban one of those present felt grateful to him or keeping up the conversation, his brotheru-law, perhaps, the most of all. Next day two or three men, invited by Lucius or shooting, put in an appearance, and the maser of Abbotscraithie, in doing tiie honors to his nale friends, avoided on all possible occasions icing brought into anything like close companonship with the ladies. Only he would look at Jirdie sometimes with such a longing, wistful ook in his large, flaming eyes that it made the rirl more than once creep awav up to her room ,nd send the excuse of a headache instead of eappearing at dinner. Meanwhile Amelia saw lothing except that Percy's attentions were reeived by Miss Verulam with cold disdain, and hat Lucius looked sadly weary and jaded, which he entirely ascribed to his having over-walked , ilmself shooting on the moors. Thus a week assed, and Birdie suggested to Lady Constania that it was time they took their leave and ,rent to the house of some otlier friends; but 1 .ady Constantia was comfortable and coutented 1 luxurious Abbotscraithie, and she would not 1 e hustled. Birdie must endure her torture a ttle longer. She had gone out alone one lovelv September fternoon, taking a volume of Slieliey to dream ver, not to read. In Budie's frame of mind all I I lblurred mass, all the words jeie indistinct. She sat down in a little arbor 1 hat had been built at the edge of a wood anging over an extensive view of heathery ipor and there, till the dressing-bell rang she Bit she could weep and think in peace?at least ! o she hoped; but a quarter of an hour had carcely passed away when she heard a ma^s ootstep approaching the arbor, and she almost < prang up with a little frightened cry. aimo8t ould not?bear it?' not Lucius; there'alone; she ' It was Percy, and she sank back Into her seat ! s though relieved from a great fear. Not that he wanted Percy s companionship?far from it- i ,nd had he been a man of the world and a genleman her monosyllabic replies would Bpeedily lave induced him to pursue his way to the louse. But Percy, like his sister, was not easily launted; he could not understand the word no" unless it was written in very plain letters efore him, and he actually had the audacitv hough he had never received at any time the ost remote encouragement, to make Miss Verulam a formal tender of his hand and posessions, looking quite surprised, too, when she ;ot up and told him that she regretted he had nade so great a mistake, such an alliance being m possible. "Impossible!" he repeated; 'Impossible that ou can ever care for me?" And Percy, whose belief in himself was Immense, looked at her in absolute astonlshoent. Under happier auspices Birdie would have aughed; as it was, she turned from him with . sort of disgust, merely saying very quietly: 'Please leave me; I would rather be alone." A hot flush rose into Percy's face as she spoke, his son of the people Imagined that Birdie, beng the daughter of a great house, was flouting dm, and he resolved to be revenged. Poor Birdie! Of the social chasm that lay between them she never thought; only of how itterly incapable a man Uke Percy was to supjlant Lucius in her aching heart. Bitterly angry with himself for evoking it. tod with Birdie for offering what he was pleased o call an Insult, he left the arbor without toother word, walking rapidly along the p?*h toward the house. When be was about halfway some sound attracted his attention and he looked around. Lucius, strolling back, gun in hand and alone, had reached the arbor and stopped ; another second and he passed'inside ana out of view. "So?so, my lady! Tlease leave me; I would rather be alone!' Of course yon would. But you will not carry on your little games at Abbotscraitliie if I can prevent it." In lees than five minutes Amelia, forewarned by Percy, was creeping along through the brushwood to the back of the arbor, in order to learn, if possible, herself unheard, something of what was going on between her husband and Birdie Yerulam. "I would never have come if 1 had known; but, oh Lucius, I thought I could hate borne it. ? hy did you let her invite us?" "My darling, I did my utmost to prevent It; but she was very positive, and I?well, you bade me marry her, and I?well, you see, I did not think you would care so very much." "O Lucius, 1 shopld have made no sacrifice for you if I had not really cared, but I thought I was braver. If only Lady Constantia would be persuaded to take me home?" "My poor, poor, sweet love, Birdie!" was all the man could murmur. There was no consolation to offer now. "You must not kiss me, Lucius?well, only this once, my love. Now go. I cannot t>ear it If you stay longer?I cannot, indeed. Besides, It is not right to yourself or her." He took her in his arms for a moment, left on her lips one more forbidden burning kiss, and was gone?not toward the house, but down the hill on to the moors, where, with nature reiiming in wild beauty all around him, he could light unchidden with his raging love, In the arbor, for a long space, the soft, buzzing, lazy summer sounds were disturbed by Birdie's sobs; while outside, with nothing between them but the thin, bark-covered, wooden partition, sat Amelia on the ground among the underwood, her head on her knees, which were surrounded by her clasped hands. She had heard it all, and was thinking it over bit by bit. What should she do? The future, which but an hour ago had seemed so bright to her as she believed in Lucius Fitzgernld's love, had suddenly become dimmed by a .mist which looked eternal. She could not see through it; it was thick as that which gathered about the summit of her own north country hills. Still she must try and find her way through it; and as she sat there motionless, listening to the sobs within, and thinking more earnestly than she had ever thought in her life before, a depth of feeling was awakened in Amelia's heart for which no one who knew her only in the light comedy of life would have given her credit. She was the first to move?very carefully, lest Birdie should hear?and to go slowly to the house. She met Percy at the door. "VVell. what was np in the arbor ?" "Nothing. I beliexe you purposely sent me on a wild-goose chase. Lucius has gone down toward liaebuni's farm." What an invaluable article is stupidity in the proper place! Two hours later the husband and wife met at dinner. Birdie had one of her usual bad headaches. No one could have guessed that Amelia had learned the truth; only perhaps Lucius noticed that she was even more tender and womanly in her manner than she had ever been before. For many days Birdie lay ill up stairs in a darkened room. Amelia never intruded herself unbidden into the sick girl's presence: but all that love could think of and attention carry out she gave to Birdie, and with no demonstrative outbursts. Nor aid she ever tell Lucius that she knew aught of the past, but helped him quietly, with soothing tenderness, to bear the anxiety and irritability produced by Birdie's illness. Amelia had seen her way through the mists, and the road along which she had elected to travel was that of patient sympathy. As months passed on, and time cicatrized the wound in Lucius' heart that destiny had made, was not much of its healing due to the woman who loved him well enough to bear silently aud unmurmingly her sb'are of the burden with which he was so heavily weighted. Birdie Verulam has never married. She went abroad with Lady Constantia for a while; on her return she studiously avoided all meetings with Lucius, and pointedly refused to pav another visit to Abbotsciaitbie; but she is always on friendly, almost lovintr, terms with Amelia, who scarcely ever undertakes any scheme of importance without first consulting Birdie.?Titisley's Magazine. c Ifiigh-priced Dogs. From the Wilmington News. W itliin the past half dozen years there has grown up among sporting men and gentlemen of leisure a strong fancy for imported or blueblooded setter dogs. There are many of the improved species in the kennels of Wilmington gentlemen. The majority of the imported dogs come from the e t?v?sive kennels of Sir Percival Llewellyn, a me;? :> . of the British peerage, who na.s acquired fa;u? and fortune by devoting his attention exclu -vely to the improve^ ment in the breed of setter dogs. The animals are brought directly to this countrv, generally to New York, in some cases to Philadelphia, and there purchased through agents bv sportsmen. The prices paid, in many cases, are astonishingly large, ranging in a few known instances as high at >2.000 for a single setter. One thousand dollars, however, is considered a high tigurge, the latter sum, it is said, having been paid by a gentleman in this city for a noble specimen of the bluest blood. The imported dogs have many points of superiority over the native animals, differing as much 'from each other as the trained racer from the country road horse. Blue blood is strong and fleet of limb, has long, fine hair, with a tendency to crisp at the ends, well colored, whatever that means, and is warranted to watch his game, rain or shine, twice as long as the native specimen. There are at least half a dozen imported setters in the possession of pa- ?s in this city, each of which cost over $300. e best known man in the United States in th..> i.ne is "Rene" Martin, the dog trainer. Martin was lonnerly a butcher, hut the instinct born within him was too strong and he quickiy drifted into his natural sphere! As a trainer of setter dogs, his charges, varying from 5100 to ?200, are a little extravagant, but the owner of the pup can rest assured that when he graduates from Martin's carelul and painstaking hands he is accomplished in the highest degree. Martin's plan is simple. As soon as the gunning season opens he takes his dogs to some secluded hunting ground in the eouth. There he establishes himself and his pupils. Every day he hunts, going out early in the morning and returning only after dark. At the eud of the season his dogs have completed their education.

In 1876 the incorporators of the NORTH STATE MINING COMPANY bwran the examination and development of the mineral wealth of North Carolina, and, after five years of labor and exjtenBe, became satisfied that they were possessed of rich and valuable mineral properties, that only required a railroad to enable them to j>our into the pock<-ts of their stockholders thousands of dollars of dividends. The principal probities being in At he County, remote from transportation, the Legislature of North Carolina was a-ked to grant a social charter for mining, railroad and telegraph purposes. This charter was granted February 11, 1881, incorporating the North State Mining Company. Under this charter the company have acquired very valuable privileges; power to buy and sell mines and mineral lands, to carry on the mining and rrdiiclum of ore*, in all it* branch**; to construct railroads and telegraph line* connecting it# mines with trunk lines of railroad and telegraph lines, and for the pur vow of constructing said railroad and telegraph lines, it has jtowcr to issue bonds to the amount nf $25,000 per mile. The capital stock of the company is $10,000,000, divided into 400,000 shires, of par \alueof $25 per share. In Stanly County, 23 miles from Salisbury, on the Piedmont Air Line Road, in North Carolina, is the wellt nown Crow ell Gold Mine, which Is well equipped and developed. The estate consists of 850 acres of land rich and fertile soil, covered with heavy growth of timber. It has numerous veins of gold quartz upon it, and about 300 acres of auriferous gravel, which yields numerous fine nuggets and coarse gold. The company also own and operate a large saw-mill i n connection with the mine. In Ashe County the company have large tracts of mineral land. Among them a very valuable Copper mine, carrying gold and silver, which la a property of 350 acres, covered with heavy timber. This mine is fully equipped with modern machinery, and has already produced a large quantity of rich and valuable ore. Professor Emmons, late State Geologist of North Carolina; Prof. Kerb, State Geologist of North Carolina; Prof. j. h. McChesney, Mining Geolojrist; Walter Hamilton, M. E.; Prof. r. m. Eames, have made most favorable rei>orts about tiiia mine. They concur in the belief that it gives indication of great commercial value, and that by the character and grade of the ore, it promises to be one of the best paying Copper lodes in this country. When the smelting furnaces are finished the daily present yield of this mine is estimated as follows: Thirtj toils of ore per day; average, 20 per cent, copper and $40 in gold and silver per ton, will equal $3,000 per day. and average 300 days to the year, will equal $300,000 gross earnings per year. When the new shaft is finished, and cross-cuts are made to the vein, the output can easily be doubled, and by the end of the first j ear the mine will be earning (ore averaging u at present) over $1,800,000 per year. The Soapstone quarries. Kaolin mines and Mica mines are situate about four miles from the Copper mines, on the way to the Magnetic iron ore beds. The estate consists of over 1,000 acres of fertile lands, covered with a heavy growth of timber, and also in- * eludes a water power of about 800 horse-j>ower. The addition <\f railroad transportation is only required to turn these it on mines into a bonanza of wealth. Prof. Kerr, State Geologist of North Carolina, refers to this property in his report to the State in 1875, on page 207, Vol. 1. He concludes his remarks by saying: "This is manifestly an iron region and worthy of thorough investigation." The value of these magnetic iron ore beds cannot be easil> estimated, at the lowest calculation there is in sight sufficient ore to last for 100 years, with an outnut of 300,000 tons a year. The company are preparing to build a line of railroad that will connect their iron mines with the Ohio Valley; and at the same time be a trunk line from the Northwest to the Southeast* This road will be known as the Carolina, Virginia and Northwestern Railroad, and will connect at the most feasible point with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad in West Virginia, thus giving direct communication with the Ohio Valley and the Northwest, and at the same time the construction of the railroad from Jefferson to Wadesboro, will give an outlet 6outh to the Atlantic Seaboard. Judging from the present average of ore from the Copper mine, it is estimated that dividends to the extent of two and one-half ($2.50) dollars i.er share can be paid during 1882. The completion of the companies* railroad by 1883, will give a market to their valuable deposits of Magnetic Iron Ore. which will enable them to pay dividends of at least Five <$5.00> dollars per share.
