A lswyer frisnd of mine was visited nt bis office one dsy, ssjs The San Francitco Chronicle, by s lady who .said «be bad been badly treated by her litis band. She had at one time a few thousand dollars and she met a man who was "broke." He wss good look ing. She loved him so dearly that she gave him her bsnd, heart, and bank accounL He squeezed the firs'., grace fully accepted the second, and grabbed the third. He started in business and made a fortune, and they had a good time for a year or two He took ad vantage of her absence in the east to switch bis affections on to another wo* man. The man was very wealthy, and the poor but brilliant lawyer saw a big contingent fee. He accepted the case for that contingent fee and undertook to put up the necessary preliminary ex penses. The case moved along. He was out $20, and she was to come down and sign the papers. She came. "Are the papers ready?" "Yes. Here they are madam. If you will put your name there- " •Well, you can just tear them up." ■Tear them up! Why?" •I don't want to go on with the case. I love him too well." 'Very well, madam. In that case •I'm very much obliged to you, and I am so sorry you've had all this trouble." •Yes, madam. My bill will be $50." 'What! You said it wouldn't cost me a cent to begin the suit." 'But you haven't begun the suit, and I am out a good deal for expenses." "I wont pay iL" "If you don't, it will be $100 to-mor row." 'She wouldn't pay. Next day he sent up a .sheriff with an attachment as a threat, at least She came down, offered him $20, then $30, then she proposed he should take her lace para sol. Finally she paid him $50, gave h,m a parting shot of polite language, and weut out. The curious part of the story was that inquiry elicited the fact that she had gone through the same process, except paying, with thirteen different lawyers in the city, all on the same proposition. But it really does seem as if a woman never loses her vanity sufficiently to resist a man's effort at réconciliation if lie will only do wild enough things. A well-known lawyer told me a few days ago of a story of a late experience. I've had a funny case lately. It was a divorce case, and I was counsel for the lady. I never knew two peo ple to abuse one another so. I never knew two people to make such a bit ter, hard fight as those two. The prop erty was considerable, and I had it tied up with an injunction. AU efforts at compromise were no good; at last, I lliought the man was trying to cheat the woman, and so I stopped negotia tions for a compromise aud prepared to put tho case into court The lady came to see me. It's no use, madam. I'm going to put the case straight through court" I wish you would, it's what I want I never will compromise with that man —never, never, never!" "All right. You will call here at 10 o'clock to-morrow, and we'll see about the witnesses. " Next morning at 10 o'clock she was there. She was nattily dressed in great style, and she sat down with a pleased iiss u ranee. "Well, madam, let us proceed." "I want the case dismissed." "Dismissed! How's that?" "Well, we've fixed it." "You have?" "Yea It's all settled." "May I ask how you settled it?" "Well, lust night he came up to uiy rooms. The door was locked, and when he knocked 1 said: 'Who's ial?' 'It's me.' 'You can't come in.' He kept knocking. I told him he couldn't come in, and he knocked harder, aud 1 told him louder he couldn't como in, and he kicked the door down and came iu, and we sat down and fixed it all up." It is very extroardinary what impet uosity, cruelty, demonstrations of all kiuds a girl will stand wheu she knows it is love that is driving a man to it; and how much of unforgivable sufler ng she will forgive after. She had uot decided to sail along life's ocean in the same boat with him, but she did not object to a little trip on the other side of the bay. They were two in the boat. He rowed; she held the tiller ropes. When he get her away from the shore he began to tell her he loved her. He was quiet and moderate at first, but he gradually warmed up to the subject The subject did not respond. She was quiet He implored her to marry him. She declined. He entreated, he wept he went down on his kneës in the boat She was immovable. Then he grew kind of fierce, he shook the boat to terrify lier into acceptance. She did not accept. He rose up and began to rock the boat very vigorously. It tipped over and they both went in. The oung lady got to the surface at once, righted the boat and got in, and when he arrived at the top of the «water she had seized the oars and was rowing for shore. He could swim, and be had to. The procession wont along until the girl, not noticing, drove the boat into the mud. She could not get ob shore without wading. Her lover was Hear ing her all the time. She feared he was going to do her an injury, but be fore she conld make up her mind to wade he clambered into tho boat They got it off the mud and landed it upon the shore safely. Then they retired to solitary place in the sun, where they at and dried themselves, and before they were dry had their arms around one another's neck and she had con sented. She knows he loves her be cause he tried to drown her, I sup pose. A Consumptive's Sudden Death. Consumption of the lungs sometimes comes lo a very sudden and unexpect ed termination in the following man ner: Kather Inte iu the disease the up per portions of both lungs are occupied a dense deposit of tubercle, to olbar with inflammatory products that sudor the organs useless for breathing purposes for one-third or one-half their exlcnt. Tho extent of lung thatis still ivailuble for breathing becomes more n<l more limited with each day's de posit of îubcrclu. If now the cav ty of the pleura (pleu rsl see), in which the lang lies and ex. pands and contracts in the movements of breathing, shoald become con nected with a cavity in the diseased lung, so that air can penetrate and fill the pleural sac, then, of course, all movementi of expansion or oontrao tion of that lung must cease, for there is no room left for the movements of breathing. The opposite lung being already half useless, or even more disabled, the sufferer finds himself de prived of most of his breathing space, and must perish within s very short time, dying actually and literally of suffocation. There are one or two rare and unus ual modes by which valvular disease of the heart may prove suddenly fatal One of these is the formation of a clot or concretion from the blood upon one of the valves; this being washed away into the circulation, travels along the blood-current until it reaches place too narrow for it to pass, where it lodges. This plug—called an embo lus —shuts off all blood from the parts beyond, and, if there is no other way for the circulation to reach that region, it becomes starved and decomposes— in the brain it softens. Softening is the common result of embolism of an artery in the brain; but if it should be a large vessel that has become plugged and the parts thus cut off from nourish ment of great importance, death may result almost instantly. Sucb cases are rare; still, they have been known to occur.— Cincinnati Enquirer. Lady Daffodil My dsinty Lady Daffodil Hat donned her amber gown, And on ber fair and sunny head Sparkles her golden crown. The conscious bluebells softly sway, And catch the yellow light— And violets, among tbelr leaves, Breathe low their young delight The sweet old-fashioned almond flower Brightens Its pallid red, And flings its petals, daintily, Over the garden bed. Her tall green leaves, like sentinels, Surround my Lady's throne, And graciously In happy state She reigns a queen alone. And thus, my Lady Daffodil In gorgeous, amber gown, Holdeth her court this sun-warm day, Wearing her golden crown. —Mary U. Shai-pe, in St. Nicholas. The Conductor's Romance. Come out with me a moment whilr we pass slowly at first and gradually faster through the street of an old fashioned town. You will observe thai the dapper Pullman car conductor with his blue uniform and gilt buttons, is also on the rear platform. Very proper, indeed, you say, for the conscientious conductor to be keeping a lookout for that second section of our train. Well, I didn't insinuate that tho con ductor was m sbohaving himself, but 1 must disabuse your mind of the con ception that he is looking for noth n<. more interesting than a locomot ve and a train of cars, which the inimit able block system of the Pennsylvania road is certain to keep at a safe dis tance from us. He didn't button uj his coat just now and brush it; he didn't set his cap knowingly over hit blonde bang, or pull up a tag of hi* white handkerchief so as to set off his manly chest for the purpose of impres sing you or me. Now please keep still and see what our good looking young guardiau in blue is up to. He is on the platform with us—thai is, he has one foot on the platform and one foot on the first step below it Now comes the critical moment! Did you see him lift his cap? More, did yon see that graceful girl leap out from a doorway, shoot a sheaf of ar rows in a second from her eyes, wave a handkerchief and dart back again into the old red brick house with its white portico of wood? A romance on the rail to be contin ued, perhaps to the altar, from day to day. Thatis all.— Pittsburgh Dispatch. The Messenger Escorta "We have considerable call for boys to take ladies about" said a manager of one of the largestup-town messenger offices, "but nothing like enough to justify us in keeping young men espec ially for that [duty. We always send the neatest-looking boy we have at hand on such calls, when we know what is wanted, but that is all the dif ference we make. Many of such calls come from ladies from other cities who are visiting New York and are not familiar with the shops and places of amusement They get a messenger boy to pilot them about among the stores and carry thoit packages during the day and to escort them to aud from the theater at night City ladies don't have much use for the boys. You see, they generally have a relative or friend to go with them in the evening, or, il they havn't they'd as lief be seen go ing alone as with a messenger boy trotting by their side. A New York lady, who may meet some one whom she knows almost anywhere,doesn't like to risk being laughed at and it does look kind of funny, you know, to see a finely dressed woman going along with little shaver in a shabby uniform hitched to her side?" "Do the boys like such calls?" "Well, it depends all on the woman. If she's one that will treat a boy well, give him a share of her lunch, and a smile and an extra quarter for h raself at the end, the boys like to go with her. If she is the kind that scolds ihe boy all the time, makes him sit in a chair and watch her eat wi thout get ting a bite himselt and finally kicks over having to pay for the whole of the last hour, when she's only had him fifty-five minutes, then the boy doesn't like the job."— New York Sun. Her Hour of Triumph. Dr. Meanwell—And how are you feeling to-day, Mrs. Moribund? Mrs. Moribund—Poorly, doctor, poorly. When I am gone, I hope you will look after the health of Johnnio and the baby. Dr. Meanwell—Oh, I wouldn't hopeless a view of the case. will get better. Mrs. Moribund—No, doctor; I not feed upon false hopes. In fact I don't wish to live.

WHY HE DOESN'T MARRY? A Wealthy New York Bachelor Ex plains the Situation. "Why don't you get married, old boy?" The man addressed rested his head on his hands with a hollow groan. His look was haggard, his eyes hollow, his hair blase, bat his dress was careful in spite of the splitting head he had raised from his pillow that morning. He was old enough to be a father, bald on the temples, with streaks of grey in his thin hair and deep lines in his face. But he was a rounder, and he had been making a night of it And now it was high noon at Delmonico's and he was trying to straighten out his stomach on absinthe frappe. The other man was an insurance adj uster, a married man, on $5,000 a year, and he thought his old school fellow, with an income double that sum, which he didn't have to work for. quite rich enough to marry and settle down. The other man didn't agree with him. He was old enough lo make his follies disreputable, and he was tired of the life. But lie was a com panionable creature, he said, and fail ing to secure tho comforts of a liome looked for society in the shady nooks of the town. "But at least," said he at last "the bills are paid. I have a bigger head than if I'd been giving a cotillon in my own house, but I don't have to think this morning of a florist's bill for $5. 000, a wine merchant's for $800, a musician's for $200 more, and a milliner's for anything you pleasa My dear old boy, I'd like to marry, but 1 can't i envy you your home and all that, but you happened to find a girl who would do without tho accessories to matrimony that all the marriageable women I know require. I would do my part, give up all my clubs but one and the suppers and the theater—boxes and—the chorus, of course, you know —but hang it all, my economies would only be a drop in the bucket Let ycur mind rest on the sort of thin» that would be expected of me. "I have $10,000 a year. As a bachelor it's all any man in his senses needs. Suppose I married. First oi all, there's the wedding. I say noth ing of new clothes—I've got enough for half a dozen weddmgs. But there's the presents to the bridesmaids and ushers, the thousand-dollar bachelor supper to the boys, the diamond neck lace to the bride herself, the wedding tour, or, worse still, the secluded honeymoon, all costing money. With close cconomy and an imputation of stinginess from my wife's relatives 1 might contrive to get married decently for a year's income. "Well, wo come back to town and setup our establishment. We give our house-warming dinners and receive the visits of our—I mean of my wife's friends. We must have at least three women and a man as house servants, and a coachman. Let us suppose my worthy father-in-law gave us our house, furnished well enough before for ray motlier-in-law's critical eye. We won't be expected to hang out house with pink crepe and evergreens, a la Hicks-Lord, to spend $8,000 on flowers for one reception, like the Morrises, or to ask 100 people to dinner and give them Roman punch frozen in yellow tulips or terrapin to eat out oî silver canoes with gold spoons like Mrs. Cornelius Vandcrbilt.

Professional singers are, as a rule, al most as superstitious as gamblers, and gamblers have more hoodoos and mas cots than the old Grecian sailors lia i. Among the things wh ch are generally accepted among grand opera people as hoodoos, sure to bring bad luck, is the snake ring, which a few years ago was worn upon the fingers of so many fash ionable persons. One of the attaches of the French Opera Company, now performing nt tho Columbia Theater, though not a singer himself, partakes of the super stitions of those wifli whom he co.nes in daily contact Some years ago. b s fore he became convinced that a snake ring is a hoodoo,he purchased a ban l some one in Paris for $35. Thut night his hotel caught fire and he jumped from a third-story window, injuring himself so severely that lie was confin ed to his room for several days. This pretty nearly convinced him that tho snake ring was an uniuckv or nament—so nearlv*, in fact that he ceased to wear it. but carried it as a pocket piece. Last Saturday he was walking on Dearborn street in this city, looking up at the buildings and musing along with his hands in his pockets. Without any thought of what he was doing ho ran his finger through the snake ring in his pocket, and lo! somebody had left a pile of coal besido an open coal hole. Before he knew it our French friend stuck his foot into the coal and dived headlong over the pile down through the hole into the basement, bruising and barking himself in a most lament able way. Of course, when ho found himself falling ho threw np his hands, and there was the snake ring gloam ing and glittering, almost hissing and gibbering ou bis finger. Frank Perley. the associate manger of the Columbia, who is not yet con vinced of the hoodooing properties of the ring, is negotiating for the pur chase of it He sa<s that the French man has offered it to him for $10. and he is sure that by the time some other accident happens to its owner he will sell it for $2, and then Frank wili buy it— Chicago Times. No Accounting for Tastea The telegraph conveys the distress ing information that a ruudrfog has bit ten a politician in Texas. We do not recall any other case equally sad—for the dog. Why a mad dog would take such desperate chances can only be ac counted for on the theory that a mad dog is an ass, figuratively speading. This is the best evidence we have seen that when a dog is mad he is as likely to hurt himself as any one else. We have no doubt that the next «tie that sweeps from the South will Dring to our ears the news that this particular dog has died, and died a most horrible death, at last— Oil Cil " derrick. SILYER DOLLARS. Some Valuable Information About Tbem. , A corespondent asks ns to give in the Companion the fact« relating to the silver dollar. We comply so far as to exhibit the history of the coinage, with out expressing any opinion upon mat ters which are the subject of political controversy. The silver dollar was made the unit of money by the act establishing a mint, which was passed in 1792. From that time until 1805 there was coined not quite $1,500,000—an average of little more than $100,000 a year—after which no more was coined until 1835. From 1835 until 1860 the coinage was $2,700,000, the average being about the same as that 1805. From 1860 to 1873 the coinage was £2,900,000, and the average was about twice that of either of the former periods mentioned. The exact number of silver dollars coined before 1873 was $7,025,238, an average of $87,500 a year for eighty-one years. In 1873 the silver dollar was dropped from the coinage. The value of the silver it contained was then about $1.03, and the only money in circulation was paper. An agitation soon began for the res toration of the dollar to the coinage. It was successful in 1878. On February 18 of that year, congress passed over the veto of President Hayes an act provid ing that not less than §2,000,000 each month should be expended in the pur chase of silver bullion, and that this bullion should be coined into dollars of full legal tender value. This act lias now been in force ten years, and there have been coined in ac cordance with its provisions very nea«ljr 300,000.000 silver dollars. The average lias been something more than 28,000,000 a year. A very large part of these dollars re main in tlie treasury, but are represent ed by paper "certificates," which are in circulation. It will interest some of the boys who are mathematically inclined to know that 1,000,000 silver dollars weigh about 50,000 pounds avoirdupois, and the weight of $300,000,000 exceeds 8,800 tons.—Youth's Companion. The Experience of Iflrs. Peters. Mrs. Peters had ills, Mrs. Peters had chills, Mrs. Poters was sure she was going to die; Tliey dosed her with pills, With powders and squills, With remedies wet, and with remedies dry. Many medicines lured her, But none of them cured her, Their names and their number nobody could tell; And she soon might have died, But some "Pellets" she tried, That acted like uiagic, and then she got well. The magic "Pellets" were Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets (the original tittle Liver Pills). They cured Mrs. Peters, and now she would't be without them.

The great bottling interests of New Eng land have united to crush the Moxie from the threatened monopoly of tho beverage market. Crowds of people are rushing to tho r^cue, many of them fully recovered by the Moxie after having been helpless par alytics for years. Moxie, so far, is tri umphant.
