A LOTUS DREAM. f SiHrnn liv tlin firn In ilrnfimv Ismrmnr on a dull October evening. Svcr ajrninst thu window pane on which tho elect is wcavi)gfnnt(i8tiu llgures, stand's n girlish figure (stumping her foot anil looking out on tho dull, lcailcn-eoloreil sky. The crispy logs burn brightly, nnil Minn as I am and thirty, I turn to watch thu fair nrolllo at thu window. By and by sho comes toward me, and stands by mv sido, warming her fair hands at thu ilrc. The' aro symmetri cal hands, white and small; Iter bosom rises and falls, and a sigh as gentle as tho zephyr winds in summer goes out and away. Uoforo mo is tho picture of fair lady of twenty-three, and by my side on tho tablu is a letter to her I hnvo just finished. I show it to tho littlu innlcluu and sho reads and sighs again. Then sliu says: "You aro going down there and you nd Miss Lulio will marry sure enough, Mr. Walter. And you'll bringhor back here ;and keep this room. And when you oome, I would like to bo a fly crawl ing around tho coiling." "Why, PappooseP" "To'watuh your happiness and tickle your noses, perhaps." And away she llev, rto help her mamma about her household duties. The bccmo is in tho South land, no matter 'wliero. I am a writer gathering up incidents for an articlo in a leading magazine, or at least I came hero for that iiurpose, and have prolonged my stay indefinitely. I have stopped with a widow lady, Mrs. Mahonls, and Laura is her only child, whom I hare mick named I'appoose. With Southern pre cocity, sho is a woman whilo yet a child. Fair complexion, witli dark hair and passionate, dreamy eyes, sho is a picture :an artist would lovo for a model, .and a picture I lovo for its own sake. Too young to understand such lovo, lier mothcr-sald to mo to-day. "I never intend Lnura shall marry until she is twenty-two." And my heart sank, for I thought it should not be so. I have been earning on a correspond encu with a friend In my native village, m, widow, and I show all my letters to .Pappooso. She is tho Lulle I am mon ito visit. , Loved, pmutical winter, with tho hadows of night about it; November with her sere leaves, and chill winds About us. Insldo the rooms of a pleasant mansion.

I lutvu just nrriwid", and go about tho ball-room with Lulio on my arm. lam proud of her and eho of mu; and though there aro no wedded vows between us, I wonder if my little Pappooso shall ever "bo a fly, and crawl .around our rooms. No,' I lovo the child with the dark hair nnd the dreamy eyes bettor than I do Lulio. , Out ic tho conscrwitory, with thopcr iiiiiio of oxotio plants about us, tho warm air of a hot-houso to comfort us, Isay: "Lulio. vo (tiavo been good to me, I loved you, cat I don't, unit i tnoiji my inona Hours is not tho lovo tfiut would ranVU rnn,rc$tfjfn-Kjto happy.

"Walter, you do not mean It! My dream hw been uich a happy ono!" And her haul nestUiil closer to my bosom and team hung like dow drops ou the frlngcdoytilhls. What can I doP A fly crawling about tho room changed Into a blacK-oyud, dark-haired littlu darling, and I put Lulio away from mo gently. "Lulio, I mean it. Forgot tho past; try to forgo mo." Sho shivers Just a HtUe. The tear drops dry up like, an April shower. There Is n trcinulom motion about tho lips, and a softly spoken "good-by,", and she is gone. Fohrunry has come. I am ngnln In my village retreat. Pappooso Is just fifteen. I am lounging on tho gallery watching tho fairy figure making snow balls in thu yard. 'J Ills tlino shu is very shy of me. I havo been hero n week, nnd save a few hurried words, havo not spoken to her; and yet I camo solely on her account. I begin to wonder If I liavo made a fool of myself, and If somo vll lago boy has already won her henrt. I am nervous, excitable ami passionate, and sitting here, watching tho sweet profile, thu studious brown, tho long lashes nnd tlm wealth of raven tresses covering her llko a manth I get mad, tip over my chair, and walk away to tho stable to my dear old Dun, a gallant roadster, and am soon sweeping away madly down thu rough vlllngu road. Man, and such a fool! A pleasant ride changes my thoughts, and I come back to meet Pappooso on the gallery, with u tiny nosegay, which sho oilers, and says: "Let mo pin tills on vour coat. It may keep you'm a good "humor. 11 "How did you know 1 was angry, or In a bad humor?" "Look at that chair;" and sho walks over, picks up my fallen chair, sets It down strait with a thud, nnd with an air of Intense anger, stamping herpretty foot, she says, "There now!'" Then, breaking Into a ringing laugh, sho trips away. After sho leaves I am still standing on the gallery, leaning against a post, whip ping myself with my riding whip, when out In tho road in front of thu house whom do I see but Pappooso on Dan, galloping wildy down thu road! If the h r o Is tired there Is no danger what ever; but if he is not, nnd gets the least uit excited, no will kick Her. 1 start to stop her, but shu linst'iissodtn a 1111111111. I go in to seo her mother. Sho only says: "Don't fret yourself. If anybody on earth can ride 1 1 1 111 she can " An hour afterward sho is brought In limp nnd helpless and bleeding from a wound in her forehead. A plain room, with paper decora tions. A cheerful fireside, an oldfashi oned hearth, and a cozy arm-chair In which I am seated alone. No, not (uito mono; for on a downy couch over against the window pane, where shu first stamped her pretty feet, lies my little Pappooso, palo anil thin and sail. Sho Is sleeping now, her loose hair, llko a shadowy covering, hides thu fringed eyelids, and one fair arm is thrown over her head. Outside it is snowing, cold and bitter. Her mother has left 1110 to watch her a moment. Sho lias been very low, Dan having thrown her on a rock and almost crush cd her tender skull. "Concussion of tho brain," tho doctors said. Five days wo havo watched and waited, and sliu is still unconscious. Tlio weary hours wo watch over our loved ones, ill or dying, aro tho most miserablo of our lives. How we trem ble at tho senseless irlanco of thu eve. tho glow or pallor of tlio cheek, thu wild mutturlngs of discontented dreams of delirium! hut to-dnv tlio weariness nnsscdnwav as I heard Pappoose turn on hor couch nun say: "Mr. Walter!" Quick as thought I am by her side, onil her hand is in mine. "Where is mamma?" "She is down stairs, little Pappoose." "Why am vou watching muP" "Heeausu 1 lovo you, l'appoosc. ' "Won't mamma do it?" "Yes, sho lias just left you. You don't care for 1110 htayiiur with vou, do you?" "How long havo you been here?" "Only a few minutes." "You had better go away. I well." " J I go out lu tho cold. I can't under stand it. 1 beliuvn I'imnonso loves 1110. but sho is so artless ami childish in iter manner that I cannot tell. For some reason I dare not ask her. I feel hurt, and yet I know not why. Her mother asked me to remain in the room a few minutes while she was sleeping. Was it maiden modesty, or does she dislike mo? I walked up tho street with tlio snow uniting 111 my lace, a north wind twist ing my lini r into curls with its cold liereeness. Two men in front of me, mullled up in warm ulsters, aro talking rapidly as they hurry through tho colu. Ono of them says: She's a good one. That youngfellow Hascom thinks ho has got it all his own way; nut wait tin no goes aim sne'ii eomu back to mo quickly. Laura loves mu butter than any body else in tho world." My name is Walter Hascom, andl'ap pooso's namo is Laura. My jealous fancy makes the application immediate ly. 1 follow them up, ami stop tho first acquaintance I meet to ask thu names of tho two men. Ono is a gambler, the other, who spoko of Laura, is thu keeper of a variety theatre in tlio town; his name is Joyce. Maddened with pain and anguish, I retruco my stops. I find Laura sitting up in bed, much better. Sho is not un kind, but says: "Mr. Walter, I beg your pardon; I am very grateful for your kindness to 1110." "I am feeling mean, and I say "1 would bo clad to see vou 1 . . 0 looking so well, but It seems Mr. Joyco would bo better pleased." How tho dear, tender face, tho piteous wall coino back to mo after tho lapso of years, down. Sho drops over like a flower cut Her breathing U faint, and wo can sco tho pulsations through the re cent wound. Poor littlu Pappooso! She nuvor poko again. Slio is dead now and I never Know and never shall know whether my unkiiiduess killed her or not It seems llko a dream from which I havo awakened. Tlio village is but a memorv. tho'uhurchvard where I.iiiini lies a myth; and Lulio, who is my wiiul now, Kisses mo sauness iroin my wow anil says: "It was a dream, Walter a lotus dream." Auecdotes of Lincoln. L. J. Cist has collected for a Clncln- at! paper some interesting anecdotes of tho martyred President. In 1832, when 23 years old, Lincoln was induced by his friends to run as a Whig candiduto for the legislature, and mudo his maldon wieeoli as follows: "Gentleman, fellow citizens: I nresumo vou all know who I am. I am humble Abraham Lincoln, I havo been solloiteil by my friends to become a candhlato for tho Legislature. My politics aro short and sweet, like an old woman's dance. 1 am in favor of a National Hank. I am in favor of tho, in ternal improvement system and a pro foutlvo tarlfl'. Theso aro my sentiments and political principles, il eiuu.edl will bo thankful. If not, it's all the samo." Ho was not elected at this tlmo. There resided at Springfield, in U60, an Irish laborer, John McCarty by name, a red-hot Democrat. Shortly a'ftor the Presidential election, Mr. Lincoln was walking past tho nubile snuarc, whero John was at work cleaning out the gut ter, as tno rrcsuieiit elect urcw near, McCarty, pausing in his work nnd hold ing out ills hand, said, bluntly: "An' so yer elected President, nro yor faith niv it wasn't b mv vote vo wnr." "Well, res, John," replied Mr. Lincoln shak ng hands very cordially, "the papers say I'm elected, but It seems odd I should bo when you went ngainst mo." "Well, Misthor Lincoln," said John, dropping lils voice lust some brother Democrat should hear him. "I'm glad you got it afthcr nil. It's mighty littlu pace I've had with lllddy for vot in' for nlnst yc, an' If yo'd'bcon bate she'd hcv druv 1110 from thu shanty nssliuro's tho wurruld." "Give mv compliments to lJIddv. John, and tell her I'll think ser- ioiisby of woman's sufl'ragc," said Mr. Lincoln witn a suiiiu as lie passed 011 to his olllcc. President Lincoln onco said that tho best story ho ever read in thu papers about lilinelf was this: Two Quakersses wcro traveling on the railroad and were heard discussing thu probnblu result of the war. "I think," said one, "that Jcflurson will succeed." Why does thee think so?" asked tho other. "Hecause JeU'erson is a praying man." "And so is AUraliiini a praying man." "les, but the Lord will think Abraham Is on ly joking," doiibtfullv replied tho first After a State election in New York in which tho Republican party was defeat ed, Mr. Lincoln was askeil how ho felt after having hunrd the news. Ho ropll? ed: "Somewhat llko tho boy In Ken tucky who stubbed his tou while running to seu his sweetheart. He said lie was too big to cry, and too badly hurt to laugh." During the spring of 18G1, a friend, in conversation with Mr. Lincoln about tho approaching Presidential election, said nothing could defeat him but Grant's capturu of Richmond, followed by his nomination and acceptance. "Well," said thu President, "I feel very much llko the man who said lie dldn t wiyit to dlu particularly, but If ho had got to dlu that was precisely the disease he would like to diu of." In thu summer of 18i!2 Gen. McClel lan wrote from the Peninsula a long let ter to tiiu President giving Ills ndvfuu as to the general politics of tho country, and how to carry on the all'air.s of the nation. "What did you reply?" asked somo one of Mr. Lincoln. '"Nothing; but it made mo think of tlio Irishman whoo liorso kicked up and caught his foot in thu stirrup. 'Arrali!' said he, 'if you are going to get on 1 will get oil'.'" - aa-a Making; Things Over. Detroit Free l'rvM. "Maria," said Mr. Jones 0110 of his worrying days, "it seuins to 1110 you might be more economical; now, tliuru's my old clothes, whv can't you niaku them over for thu children instead of giv ing them away?" "Because they're worn out when you'ro done with them," answered Mrs. Jones. "It's no uu making over tilings for tlio children that won't hold togeth er; you couldn't do it yourself, smart as you are." "Well," grumbled Jones, "I wouldn't have closets full of things mildewing for want of wear, if I was a woman, that's all. A pennv saved is a penny earned." That was lu April. One warm day In May Mr. Jones went prancing through tho closets looking for something Tie couldn't llnd, and turning things gen erally inside out. "Maria!" ho screamed, "whero's my grav alpaca duster?" ".Nladu it over for Johnny." "Ahum! Well, whero's tho brown lin en ono I bought last summer?" "Clothes-bag!" mumbled Mrs. Jones, who seemed to have some dilllciiltv in her speech nt that moment. "Just made it into a nice one!" "Whero nro my lavender pants?" yell cd Jones. "Cut them over for Willie." "Heavens!" groaned her husband; then in a voice ot thunder, "Whero havo my blue suspenders cot to?" "Hung the baby jumper with thorn." ".Maria!" asked thu astonished man in a subdued voice, "would vou mind telling mo what you havo dono with my silk hat; you haven't maclu it over for thu baby, havo you?" "Oil! no, dear," answered his wifo cheerfully' "I've used it for a hanging basket. It is full of plants and looks lovely." Mr. Jones never mentions tho.word economy or suggests makiii" over ho has had enough of it. t. 'KW GUINEA. Aimimik tho Miui-lliinttTit of That Ulli'lvllli I'll Ittluiiil. Bun KrancUco Clironldo.

In other places, as among the Arfaks, a trlbo taking their namo from tlio mountain they inhabit, Mr. D' Albertis found a fine raco, tall of stat uro.strong and physically superior tojtho inhabitants of thu coast, a typo of tho mountain trlbos.

At the extreme southeastern limit of New Guinea, he found niiothur mixture of tvpe. Tho people went lighter In color than ho had heretofore seen on thu Island, and had mora regular features. Mr. D'Al bertls's gcnural conclusion from this mixture of type Is, that two races, per haps equally savage aiidprlniltlvi', hnvo eomu In contact lu New Guinea, in which thu blending has taken place In a way to lead to wide departures from each original stock. The same general mix ture wns traced in thu tribes found on tho Nlntuls clo.o to Nuw Guinea. Kvery wheru ho traveled hu found thu women In nn inferior po.-ilion. They weru handsomer than tho men, had better physical developiuenl.butdldtho heavier work, while Papuan husbands devoted themselves to hunting mid lishing. Usually they were nude to tho waist, wearing a light skirt across thu hips, or simply il covering of leaves braided to gether. They were always timid, and ran from the presence of 'white men as they would from mad-dogs. On Yule Island, which Is separated from New Guinea by a strait only three or four miles In width, Mr. I)' Albertis found numerous and populous villages. Al though the inhabitants would rank as savages, their manners and customs were gentle, and they lived in 11 state of comparative well-being and happiness. The physical fact about them was that thoy tlill'orotl greatly from the Inhabi tants of tlio northwest part of N w Guinea, anil seemed lobe a mixed rsu'eo not true Papieuns, by whom is meant tlio Inhablt'iiits of thu northwest of tho Island, excepting tho Malay population who aro beginning to colonize some part (il thai country. The Way or It. A farmer was once told that his tur nip field lied been robbe l, and that thu robbery had been comm. ted by a poor, inoiiensive man, ny tiiu niinie it raimer who, many people of tho village said had taken a way a wagon-load of turnips Fanner Hrown, much oxa'sporntednttliu loss ot Ids turnips, determined to proe cute noor Palmer with nil thu severitv of thu law. With this Intention lie we lit to Molly Sanders, thu washer-woinan who had been busy in spreading the re port, to know the vholo truth; but Mol ly denied ever saying anything about wagon-load of U'rnips. It was but cart-load that had been taken, and Dame Hodson, the huckster, had told her so, over and over again. The farm or hearing this, went to Dame Hudson who said that Mollv Saunders was a! ways making tilings worse than they really were; Clint Palmer had taken only a wheelbarrow full of turnips, and that she had her account I mm Jenkins, the tailor. Away went thu farmer to Jen kins, thu tailor, who stoutly denied tho account altogether. He had only told Damu H01K011 that Palmer had pulled up several turnips, init how mauv he could not tell, for that he did not seo himself, but was told by Tom Slack, the plowman. Farmer Hrown next ques tioned 10m muck, who in ins turn d chired hu had never said a word about seeing Palmer pull up several tui'iiliis ho hail only said he had heard say that names, tno uaroer was tno person win had told him about it. The farmer, al most out of patience at this account. hurried oil' to seo llarnes, tho barber, who wondered much that the people should find pleasure lu spreading idlu tales which had 110 truth in them. Hu nssued thu farmer all hu said about thu matter, whilo hu took oil' the oeard of Tom Slack, was that, for all ho knew, Palmer was as likely to pull up a tur nip as ids neighbor. Sleep.
