Tiie next morning I awoke rcfiohlii'd anil invigorated. I itsked Usee the lady who had waited upon me in t'o' iiiht hut they smiled titi l Haiu it wasa deliri ous ('rcrtni. In time 1 recovered my hertlth and re turned to Virginia. It was ten j ears after this illness tlittt in riding past a ii'ie old coii'iiry houe, 1 saw a lady walk down the path who pausi d to pic"; a p'e. Her tiure was tall, her hair ol ien, her eyes dark. Her motions were graceful. With a little ext -Initiation. :'aMi".ni.-li-in'tit, I !( i;jni :-.ed tiiL' i i ly ol'iny dream, h i.kii,;: older, but otl.irwis-e onaiterc.'.. I know not in what words I communi cated this fact.to my friend, but 1 know I ended by s iyit: : "I must speak to her. .-'lie will re member." Mv friend tittered ;:n imperat:1. e lire alive. "Siie would think y-i'i a madam;.," he paid, "('..me on. You may j;.'t yourself shot for staling at another man's wife. They do such things promptly in the SiNith. I will fill' nut who she is if you like.'' I assented ea?t ily. Ve rodet.ti. "Talk to me as much as you like," he said, "hut never cxpes" yoin.-e'f to Btranjreis. It is ossible this lady was in Itrazil in IS , and brought yo'i so.'i.e thiiijr to drink when y.jii wore h ft alone. In that ciscatloubt that tro'tbk-s you will be satisi'.ed. You can, with all pro priety, eal! upon her and thank her." Hut though he spoke in this way, I knew lie did not imagine il coui l be so. That evening we smoked our cipirs in Col. I.'scompany, and my friend diplo matically introduced the s'tl jc-ct. "That beautiful lmtis.- with the lare ;arden," he F.iid,"is quite a feature of the place. Who ctus it'.'" "A lovely woman, widow of Mr. Y." paid the Od'inel. "She v.asa he!!e in her .drlhood, and the iuiy;ht t t'd! lie one if she only chose.'' "i'eriiaps we ?s- her in the garden,' said my friend, be-iniiirts a uiir.ate tle sctijition. f "Kxaetiy. It was no one else," said the Colonel. My friend paused for a moment, and then said : "She reminded K. t;f some ontr he had met in I'.razil. In fact, lie almost believ ed her the same person." '.o, no," said the old Colonel. ' .Mrs, V. has never left Virginia. We have known the family since she v.as two years old. It is only the other day that we spoke of that, and she lamented that she had not traveled more." 1 felt a partjr of disappointment, hut found courage to say : ' I should greatly like to lie introduced to her." The old Colonel instantly offered to in troduce uia. "Hut remember," said my friend, as we parted, "never tell her of your Oncy. It would s-ioil your chances witit her, and I see it is a ease of love at lirst Kjrht.' He was right, and I was very fortu nuie very happy. I won this beautiful woman's heait. Her fortune I did not want, but it was large. I had suliicient means and could not be suspected of mercenary motives. We were married after a Ion;; and ar dent woointr on my part. She loved me, but a second marriage: seemed wrong to her, and it was not un til she re.aiia?d that sdie !u;d irretrieva bly given me her heart that she would give her hand. Neither of us had ever visited Ilurope. We decided to cross the ocean i!uriti?otir honey-moon. .Before we went she show ed me her beautiful home ami all her possessions. Among them was a store of old china. Suddenly she turned to the shelves. if her cabinet and took down a china bowl transparent, covered with llowers and l.'t-.tterliics of (plaint conventional form.

"You mo the woman who saved my life when I lay perishiti of fevet in Brazil?" Siie began to tremble. S"ltin the bowl aside, she throw herself into my aims. "BoiiR aiV-i," she panted "ten years ago 1 thought I held that bowl in my hand and asked you (hut. It was night. I .in not know whether I was mad.

The literature on the sub ject could be traced as far back as 17.30, and Capt-.in Cook, in describing his voy ages, distinctly alluded to tiie matter. In one place lie said that he had seen on a certain trie a number of Hack ants which perforated the twigs, and after eating out the pith formed a lodging in the cavity, and yet the tree continued in a tionrish in; condition. In tropical climates there were many plan's pre-eminently associa ted with ants. Tiie Italian botanist, Pi cari, contended that the relationship was advantageous alike to the plants and to the ants. The former afforded shelter to the latter, and in eonie cases supplied them with food. Ho w as a good tnnn a man w hose word no"t!y doubted whose integrity and veracity were as good as a bond. And a friend said to him : " I saw you speeding; your horse the other day." " Yes."' " lie'.; a fine imver." " Yes." " (Jot lots of speed." " Yes." " As near as I could carh hint that day he was making a L':h) clip." " Yes, I think so." And that horse could not a mile in five ininntes, an i the owner knew it, and the other nion knew it, and he was simply baiting luop to tempt the good man to Mu. And he caught him. JUNE 11, 181)0.

A .jitiet little game of poker was play ed in Wasiiington I ri lay night of 1. t week by si t ilistiiig'ii..hed g'unieue n, each of iioui is Well-known a an ex pert. Tho result of the game adds an in terasting incident to the htntory of ioker playing, ami was a subject of much g"s ip in the Senate cloak-r'iom, and other irer.teei resorts. Th-re was nothing par ticularly remarkable about this gam" ex cept the fact that two of the players were pitted against each other, and each he:d one of the strongest hands ever turn-d up in poker. Tin party met in one of the well known up town hotels, and the layers were Senators Cameron and tniay, tf Pennsylvania, Farwell, of Illinois, the. lion. Dave Littler, of Springfield, the ex Pacific Itailroad ComruisBioner, and ex. Senator Sewell, of New Jersey. It was a ten-dollar limit gime and there had been three raises before the draw, when al! the players went out except Senators Cameron and Farwell. Mr. Cameron stood pat, and Mr. Farwell drew two cards. Then the fun began. The 'gentlemen who hod withdrawn saw that there was a tight ahead, and ea gerly scanned the faces of the two rivals. The sympathy of the party was largelv w ith Mr. Cameron, for the reason that Mr. Farwell is reputed to be one of the best poker players in tiie I'nited .states, and the very best in Waslangton. I Miring the past few months he has come oir vic torious in a majority of the games he lots played, his victims im hided several of the gentlemen in Friday night's party, and they were rather anxious to s e Mr. Cameron get satisfaction. They were not disappointed. When Mr. Farweil sav Mr. Cameron stand pat he at once concluded that he was blulling, and he started in to catch him. It was Mr. Canierun's bet, and ke went to the limit. Mr. Farwell saw him, and Don bet him asr.iin. F.ach saw that the other meant business then, and they settled down to work in earnest. Mr. Cameron continued to bet and Mr. Far well continued to raise him until the process had been rejieateil ten times, and then Mr. F'arwel! beeameicotn passionate, and dropping his cards, said : " See here, Don, I don't want to carry this thing any further. I have a hand here that is simply invincible, and its foolish for yon to buck against it. I don't want to bet further on a sure thing. Be mernber, I drew two cards." Then the players all looked eagerly to Mr. Cameron to see what he would do. lon has great nerve, and tol l Mr. Far weil togo ahead and play his hand for all it was worth, but Mr. Farweil would not take ad vantage of his colleague, and with the remark that he did not like to rob a man, he said, " I call you." awd carelessly threw on the table four aces. The gentlemen of the party w ho had been in suspense all this time drew a sili of relief, and turned sympathi.ingly to Mr. Cameron. Don did not need their sympathy, however, for he .piietly spread out before the astonished gae of Mr. Farwell a stright diamond tiush, seven sjsot high. Mr. Farwell's only remark was : " Well, I'll be damned 1" and Mr. Cameron drew in the pot, which con tained a little more than three hundred dollars. Kvery gent -man present ex pressed the utmost sr"jirise when they witnessed these two remarkable ban is, and each of them said that in his 'org experience as a poker player he Lad nev er seen two such hands pitted against each other. The same opinion was ex pressed by all of the Washington pokir players who gossiped about this noted game. Hlf.-d.her' m A Submerged Railway, Spain has a novelty in the way of a submerged railway. It ruin through the surf olf ( rtton, near Bilboa, t;") feet out into the ocean. The mines of 'rtton are extremely rich in i-n. but there is no harbor there and great difficulty has heretofore been experienced in getting tiie ore on the ships. Now- that the sub merged railway has been built, it is a simple matter. It runs out into deep water, and tn iron tower seventy feet high, worked by counter-balances, runs from the cliffs to the waiting vessels, which are moored bow and stern into the roadstead. When the towvr arrives at the ship with its load of ore its top is about even w ith the vessel's deck. As soon as the irmi is loaded on to the shin the weigl ' of the counterbalances pulls the tower back to the cliff, where it runs np to the chute and automatically opens its mouth. The chute conies down from the mines, and when it has dropped on the tower enough ore in the chute to overcome the weight of the counterpoise, the tower starts away to sea again. This 83rt of thing is kept up until the vessel is filled. All thatjs necessary to start the tower on its peregrinations and put the submarine railway in operation is for tb.e miners to drop ore into the chute. A. V. 7.-iA.-oie. The Best Result.

Why don't you try it ? Etiquette of the Street. When two gentlemen are walking rut with one lady, the one takes the out and the other the inside, thus keeping her between them. When a gentleman de sires to speak to a lady who is passing he may if he lie a friend, and alone, accost her, but he must not detain her. Instead, let him walk with her in the direction whither she is going, and when he has done, leave her with a bcr and a stniie, raising his hat as he retreats. It is no longer thought needful for a gentleman to keep himself perpedially iiii the outer side by changing sides at every corner. Such a habit savors of stiffness, and is too marked a concession to form. Gentle men may take the inside when it would seem awkward to do otherwise, but the outside is preferred for them.
