THE TWO MARAUDERS, IfJABET. SMITÜ80N FROM FRENCH OP EDMOND THERY. ADAPTED kalt bemg expeoted in the neigh ■krf Tiaret, the Governor Oen ^Algoria, sent a company ldiors and artillerymen to . p arrived d pitched Pirn. The litt'e troo U-Bou-Zizi at noon intending to stay ther The horaas^m I h tents eight honrs. harnessed, and called upon went g out anced into the water ë and ripe. One of 1 fellow with black hair ong moustache, looked so often > longily at the tempting fruit that the officer in eommand remarked it, and said: "Artilleryman Corniflard, if you will attend to yonr work instead of eying those melons, yon will not get the oolio." The Marseillais bowed his head aud seemed to be absorbed in tying up the hay, but his brain was in reality busy with plans for captaring one of those delicious melons. When the horses were and uohing their fodder, the Commandant gave tho order to tho bugler, and at sound of the welcome oall the soldiers rushed to served in the open air, a curious oue. One mess. It and the soene man complained of the small size of bis portion; another, not finding enough vegetables in his bowl, tried to <nstract the attention of his neigh bor in order to purloin some from him; odc grumbled that the soup too salt; the next man called the oook a thief, and so on, all the remarks be ing seasoned with those forcible ep ithets so often heard from the lips of a French trooper, especially in the army gPpff Africa. ' Two ertilleryhieDv—bedfello chums, sat loaning agaiut the same troe eating their dinner in silence. One had the black hair, bright eyes aud bronze-hned skin of the Children of the Desert; the other the lover of watermelons. When they had finished their meal, and the smoke from thoir pipes was rising in white curls, the Frenchman broke the si lence, saying: "Do you like watermelon, Hldi?" "No," replied the Arab dryly, and the other, knowing his oomrade's weakness changed his mode of attack by saving: "What do you think of the brandy they give us?" There was no reply in words, but a am&cking of the lips from the laconic Arab told Oorniflard that his shot had taken effect, and after a pause he said slowly: "Don't yon think, my friend, that a quart of that, is worth ipore than a ■lice of watermelon?" "You need my help," said the acute native. "What would you give to have my ration of brandy every morning?" f asked the Marseillais, aid his ^ rade's eyes glisb-ped will» eagerness. " 1 44 You will ask too much," he said. "Ko indeed,' 4 * returned the other, "if you font to drink my brandy every day until we reach Tiaret, you have only to go with me to-night to the watermelon field whi morning." There i-u.l Corniflard, we our ■ a pause, but Sidi alas) had often during his last five years service in the French army forgotten the verses in the Koran forbidding _lt "be four good- xu-fcian.* earned Of half an hour." n^d the wily Marse ill ii«, men Midi's passion for utro :g drink carried the day against the fear of punishment, as well as the Prophet's prohibition, and he nodded his head in token of assent. The French oamp was plunged in darkness, end dead silence reigned where a few hours before there had been so much animation. Nothing moving exempt the sentinels wlo marohed with their guns ready, their fixed on the blackness round the alert. Two dark figures came out of a tent aud glided toward the sentry's cordon. Hidden by the tall bushes which sur rounded the camp, they waited until the sentinel's back then darted away, hurrying, silently through the darkness, an! feeling no fear at the sound of tho wild beasts which roamed in the woods. At last they reached the farm. It was rounded by a wall and the gates were looked, but in two bounds the Maraud were on top, and aftor assuring themselves that nither the owner hia dog was on the watoh, they drop ped into the garden, and with wolf like tread turned toward» the .water melons. Oorniflard, who was a good judge, tapped on the rind of several melons to test their ripeness, and was about to out off a fine large oue, when his rade suddenly raised his head and whispered, "Listen I" The ory of «hört dibtance. them, their ears turned aud of owl was heard at a "That is nothing," said the French man carelessly, but at the same instant He mournful sound was eohoed from within the farm. YTheJakonbi moAod Sidi, and..even cu^as repeated close by, I^Bfos had barely time to bide PPRselves in a hay-riok, when the ' thrown open. Six tall Arabs of a mountnin-tribe entered, each one olad in a long white burnous, and with them They »at down coming," m»ir 9 he spoke the i the two the proprietor of the farm. the ground in a oircle at only a few paoes from the hay-rick, crossed thoir haads breasts, and then, having invoked Allah and Mahomet, began a discns to which Sidi, who understood their lsngnago, listened anxiously. The farmer hud sent information of the ar rival of a French column at O-Bow Zizi to the chiefs of tho Jakoubias. An insurrection was already planned, but in spite of the assurances of suo cosfa which they held ont to their co rohgionists, these ohisfs remembered the terrible resnlt of the Abd-el-Kader excitement, and lie-itated to unfurl the standard of the Prophet until actual victory was gained. They knew that a hundred European heads ried in triumph from tribe to tribe, would suffice to secure a general up rising. and these heads be within their grasp. The French troops, it was agreed, should be taken by surprise the next night "Remember," said the Musssulman ohiefs to the farmer, "if you play any trick on us, we will visit it on your own head. You know the fate of traitors." The Arab swore by Mahomet's mule that he had spok.-n the truth and acted in all sinceritr, u 1 then the white burn ous ng to »L« i their it is < ,i seemed to iked All ih and returned 'mus. At the * mo ment a di-taut bngie-culi anuouuced that the French troops wore awaking from their slumber. The council bad lasted three hours, and the trembling fugitivesh-ealized that they were between two fires. When the farmer had en tered his house Sidi peered out from the hoy and whiapered, "No cnel" with hia nouai brevity, and then the two climbed over tho' wall again. As soon as he felt himself safe, the Arab knelt in the dost and gave thanks to Heaven, but Corniflard only muttered: "I might have brought away n melon!" When the Marauders re-entered the camp, the reveille had sounded half an hour before, and the Marshal of the corps had reported them missing, and informed the captain of Corniflard's re en autumn reveals _ _ behavior the dav Imfore. When there fore the culprits appeared, umoh oreet fallet), before the ohief of the bataillon tho latter asked in a stern voice: "Where have you been?" Sitli made no answer, but the Mar seillias replied persuasively: hot in our tent, £Ip»t could no THR "It mandant, that and of air." "Andji laiuJi mvil neigh Oen of the at had to go out ^^-M^TTault that we goi .said Cornitlard, but ' in a tone of severity: I ^ was not fault my that you left the ' "camp. Adjntput, have the goodness to place these rascals under arrest, and when we roach Tiaret, I shall pro nonnoe their sentence." Before they were led away the Frenchman begged a few moments private interview with the officer and related what had taken place in the night. The chief ques tioned Sidi, but ordered the two to say nothing about their adventure to any one. "Adjutant, if these fellows attempt to repost their cook and bull storieB they must be gagged," he said, "I will not have the troops alarmed needless ly." h So, in spite ol their proteetation. onr two friends were put under arrest, and tho C oo rn a fl i ri1 P °f r u? te ?

For an instant they were lost sight of, ther they reappeared, throwing them selves upon the enemy, waving their arms aloft like the sails of a windmill, and with their terrible sabres piercing breasts and cleaving skulls. But grad ually the o role of Arabs closed around them; exhausted, surrounded, and almost overwhelmed by superior bers, 8idi and Corniflard were on the point of perching. They had heard the firing, and thinking the Frenob had been surprised, had burst their bonds and rushed out of the tent to begin the defence. 'J heir desperat« Jt almost them tfieir Iijves, when the charge was sounded,ana| the whole column of French bore down upon the enemy. The Mussul men were scattered in ail directions, and when in half an hour the fight oeused, for want of adversaries, six hundred Arabs, dead and dying, re mained upon the field. The next day, the ohief of battalion sent a detachment to arrest the Arab farmer for betraying the Frenoh, bul found that the Jakoubias,think ing him guilty of treachery towards them, had dispatched him with their yatagaus. The kindling insurrection quenched, and the Frenoh broke up their oamp and marched to Tiaret. Here, Sidi and brought before a court martial, and for violating the orders of arrest were judged worthy of death. In considera tion, however, of the information they had famished, enabling the troops to be prepared for the night-attack, and saving the whole column from massa dre, they were granted a free pardon, whilo for their courago in repulsing the enemy they received the Cross or the Legion of Honor. of of to of a a a any like t bls ba?e in an that the his of Alft All to more life from Just the lne his the the lost defect locate save be *ft U A sented Sahib, h go 'llgh.

A fact which is likely to caus« women immense pain and difficulty is the failure In the supply of whale bone. When one considers that nothing can take its place or cause a gown to fit so well the outlook ii truly alarming. As a matter of fact the supply has fallen off Just one-halt In the last few years. Until recently the American market handled 600, 000 pounds annually, now it is barely 200,000. In the matter of price, In 1842 the best quality of bone in the state sold for 29 cents per pound f now the same grade costs $5.76. Adding the profits of manufacturers, the cost of the finished bone Is $10 per pound to-day. The reason for all this Is that the bowhead whales, which furnish the bone, are moving further north every year and become constantly more difficult to capture. These animals, each of which is worth about $10,000, have an enor mous head, larger than all the rest of the body. The mouth is furnished with a double row of whalebone blades, about 500 in number, varying from seventeen to three feet in length. These are used by the creature to strain its food. It is a very difficult matter to capture a whale even after it has been har pooned. Last year at a whaling station bombs were shot into 200 whales, but only fifteen twenty were captured. The greatest catch last year was only twenty-one. The average catch is eight, but many steamers get only two or three. The preparation of the bone Is not diffi cult. It is taken in quantities of 500 pounds and soaked in water till it becomes soft enough to work. It is then cut into strips. The bone Is sold by the gross, and a gross weighs about two and a half pounds.

Neither did she negleot smaller Bhe received nosegays and flowers from the poorest, gave the Queen a sprig of rosemary in Fleet Street, and Elizabeth was still seen to retain it at Westminster. When sung in her honor at Temple Bar she requested the people say "Amen," as she did, at the end each verse. When they wished her prosperity she thanked them and wished them the samo. She twisted every omen, good aud bad, to fit in with her exultant humor. When one turned aside his face and wept, she cried, "I warrant it is for ioy." When another proclaimed that she remembered "old King Harry," she laughed with pleasure, as if the as sociation with her father was the pleas antest and most propitious than could arise. At her ooronation, on the 15th of January, 1569, ouly one bishop, Ogle thrope of Carlisle, officiated. There was no Archbishop of Canterbury, aud the Catholio bishops stood as much aloof as they dared. Little wonder that the ceremony was less impress^ and more shorn of splendor than it bad been wont to be. It cording to the Roman Catholic form, though it was installing a Protestant Queen on the throne, and it was the third coronation whiohfthad taken pi within the Iasttwelvej years. Eliza beth herself, with the rampant critical faculty and the levity which with her eveu at the most moments, remarked to her maids of "grease, gilts.

NAUGHTY MAID MARIAN. I Mr. Hugar Doll the swollest doll he confectioner's shop, bo every body agreed. He had a distinguished j and a haughty air, and a sort of stand- ' off appearance which was generally oonced d to be extremely correct form. He was a distinguished doll, having been brought all the way from Paris. Most of tlio fashionable dolls oome from Franco. I e had been very ill coming over, so ill that his pink oheeks turned a sort of taffy-candy oolor from mal de mer. But that wus some time ago. He very fashionably attired in evening clothes. He wore real gold studs in his shirt bosom, and there was an elabo rate black silk gold-mounted fob to hold his watch, (There wasn't any wutoh on the end of the black silk fob, only a penny to keep it in his pocket, but this is betweon ourselves.) He curried a hemstiohed black silk hand kerchief scented with something that smelled like fresh ginger cookies, a most delightful odor, as anyone who has eaten ginger cookies hot from the pan knows well. Well, all the girl dolls in the shop oast doll's eyeB at Mr. Bngar Doll, but he stood np very stiffly in the window and didn't look at any of them. Whether he was too proud ful, nobody knew. One day something very astonishing opened. A lady came into the shop holding a little girl by the hand. When the oonfeotiouer woman saw her, she wiped her hands on her apron and hur ried forward, very auxioua to wait the lady. Well, they had a long talk, and Mr. Bngar Doll thought they never would finish and relieve nim from his uuoomfortable position. You see while the two women were talking the little girl had slipped around to whore Mr. Sugar Doll stood so stiffly in tue win dow, and she stood there staring at him fixedly, Jt embarrassed Mr. Sugai Doll extremely, and, besides that, three four times the little girl stretched ont her hand to take him. Thii alarmed Mr. Sugar Doll so that the lit tle beads of sngur perspiration stood out all over his brow. He felt if she should take him be would be crushed to death in her chubby hands. But the didn't touch him. She. thought better of it, and at last the lady said: "Come, Marian," and she trotted away beside her mother. After thoy had gone confusion reigned in the shop. A wedding cake was to be made right away. That was what the lady had had oome to order for her eldest daughter. Well, too bash l," when the cake done, Mr. Sugar Doll admitted that nothing in Paris oonld have beaten it. There were snch elaborate floral de signs on the top of it, snoh beautiful little oupids dragging wedding ohariott around the side of it. And then, to crown all, the oonfeo tioner woman set Mr. Sugar Doll on top of it, and beside him Miss Araminta Crystalline, a young lady who 1 ved in the next window. Arapunta looked lovely. She wore a white dress, white shoes and white gloves. Upon her brow, which, like Annie Laurie's was "like the anawdrift," only a trifle ooarser on account of their having used granulated sugar, was fastened a beau tiful white wodcliug veil. This com pletely enveloped her and extinguished several small oupids on the side of the oake. But nobody cared for them. /Well, presently they wore put i big box and carried The next thing that fiappened they were standing on a big table covered with silver and crystal and glowing with candLs. It looked like fairyland, and from the tol m beyond came th" soft murmur of many voioec&nd a soun i of music. Suddenly the portieres parted and a little girl in a white frock came in. Mr. Sugar Doll knew her in an instant It was Marian. She looked at him e minute, then she climbed up softly, grabbed Mr. Sugar Dolll and bit off lib head. When the wedding guests came in e utet* luter, A-amintaOrystallin« Handing stiflly In her place, with uffled brow, but. Mr. Sugar Doll had vanished.

It had something at both the front and the baok—the spout in front, and the handle at the back, and about this it used to talk; but it did not talk about its lid, for that was oraoked and riveted ; it had a dofeot aud one does not care to talk about one's defeots; other people do that quite enough. Gaps, Cream-Jug and Sugar Basin«—the whole tea-servioe—would think about und talk over the lid's deficiency much more than about the fine handle aud the distinguished-look ing spout; the Tea-Pot "I kuow them!" it sa'd to itself "1 know my own weakness too, and i acknowledge it; that is my humility, my modesty. Failings we all bave, but one has gifts too. The cups receive a handle, the Sngar-Basin a lid; I re ceive both gifts, and one thing in front whioh they never get. I got a spout, whioh makes me queen of the tea-table. To the Sugar-Basin and Cream-Jug it is granted to be the ministers of sweet flavor; but I am tho dispenser, the manager: 1 distribute the blessings among the thirsty is the Chinese leaf brewed up in the boiling, tasteless water. " All this the Tea-Pot used to say in the merry time of its youth. It stood on the well-spread table; it was lift ed by the daintiest of hands. But the dainty hand was awkward; the Tea-Pot fell: ofl snipped the spout, off snapped the handle; the i,J is not worth men tioning—enough has been said about that already.
