St. Loci*. May 19.-~-Th» city con tin uea'to be crowded with vialtora from all tactions of the country, and at E resent the percentage of visitors to tit World’s Fair who take in St Louis on the way is large in the extreme. All the railroad companies report Sreat increase in traffic from different Irections and nearly all the roads be tween St. Louis and’ Chicago are im proving their service aud shortening the time of the journey. Arrange ments for the Fall Exposition here aro progressing satisfactorily. Sousa's band which is to take care of the mus ical portion of the entertainment has given preliminary concerts which have been very well received. The river has fallen here to quite its normal stage and there is no danger whatever of a flood. St Louis prop erty was never in any danger, but much alarm was felt in the surround ing country on tho Illinois side, and trade relations between this section and St. Louis aro very extensive. In East St. Louis, just across the Eads Bridge, the streets are ull being raised to about the height which is known as danger point in the river, ami the.se in themselves will provide valuable safe guards egaiust subsequent Hoods. Alonz the river to the north, also on the Illinois shore, the levees are being improved rapidly and tiio extensive manufacturing plants located there will be entirely free from danger in the future. it is expected that a wagon bridge alongside of tire Mer chant’s Railway Bridge will be con structed very shortly, and this will greatly increase tho connection be tween the business interests on both sides of the rivoi. Tho system of tims payments has spread out prodigiously in SL Louis lately. A new idea is being adver tised generally by circulars heut to men whose names were taken from the society directories. They are those who arc about to be married. If tiie man responds by a visit to the house that sends out the circular ho is told that the firm will agree to nay all his wedding expenses aud let him return the loan by monthly installments. Ho assents. He is directed to chooso the house where ho wants to live, lie does so and reports. “Now,” says the the manager, “Oo to any furniture house in town, pre sent this card of introduction and select your furniture. Will you take a wedding trip?” The young man says lie would like to do it. “Make up your mind where you would like to go, aud we will get the tickets,” the agent says. Tho young man dorsall those things, and reports again. The agent calcu lates. “Rent of fiat, 530 a month; furniture, $200; tickets for two around the lakes, Slot).” Then he adds five per cent to the bill. “We’ll take care of all these things,” he says, “and you aro to pay 625 a month till the debt is cleared off.” Tho arrangement is a very advan tageous one to the young man. and lie accepts. Tho agent gets his live per cent, and several commissions from landlords and-merchants. It is a sat isfactory arrangement all around. A FRENCH DUKE’S DISCOVERY. Da Moray's Dorloe for Choaponlnr tho Cost of Fhotogriplilo l'rlnta. That distinguished amateur photog raphor, the due do Morny, has com municated to tho French war offico « process by which paper of any kind or thlcknoss can recoivo a photo graphic print, soys tho London Tele graph. Eighty copies can bo printed per minute at a trifling expense, and note paper, soason tickets, etc., may thus boar photographic portraits ol the owner. General .Saussior, the commandant of the garris n in Paris, is engaged, it is stutod, in making experiments with a view to applying tho process to the “livfets,” or clr tlflcates of service and character de livered to soldiers, and ore long per haps the duo do Moray’s system ol cheap photographio printing may bn adopted in tho ca*o of the “livrets,’’ Which workmen and domestic serv ants in Franco are expcctod to pos sess. Of tho usefulness of cheap photo graphio portraits on soason tickets and other documents which muy load to personal identification of the real proprietor there can scarcely bo any doubt. Still, it must not bo forgotten that the multiplication of very choap photographic portraits has long been practiced in the United States, where photographers for a very moderate consideration will supply a client with 100 little effigies of himscll printed on a sheet of paper gummed at the back, the sheet bolng dlvisable by means of perforations into squares of the exact size of postage etamps, so that the tiny portraits can then be used at the possessor’s own swaot wilL Ho may stick one inside the cover of every book in his library oi affix them as seals to the envclopos of the letters which ho dispatches to his friends and acquaintances. Travelers in Russia, in tho East, and in all countries where foreigners are looked upon with suspicion would also aot wlsoly in causing themselves to be photographed on their pass ports and tholr visiting oards, and there are, indeed, hundreds of trans actions in sooial life which might bo considerably facilitated by attaching photographs, swiftly and cheaply ob tained, to articles in goneral use. ] I when a check waß mado payable to bearer, a little postage-stump like photograph of tho bearor himsolf could ho gummed on the face of tho document, tho appearance of tho counterfeit presentment would bo sufficient to assure tho bank’s cashier that tho check had not got into wrong hands. The duo do Moray's ingenious im provement in photographic printing is only a further illustration of tho almost innumerable possibilities of photography itsolf, yet it is passing 1 strango and somewhat mournful to admit that some of tho oasiest ex periments in photography were dis tinctly associated with tho production or alteration of corta'n colors under given conditions, but that at tho present tlmo, ImmonßO as have been the developments in this, the most scientific of all arts, wo scorn to bo as far as ovor from tho infinitely yearned-for disoovory of any method of perfectly reproducing, by moans of the lens, the camera, and tho sensitized plato, images in tho exact oolors of nature.

Tho night after his stopfathor, Squiro Halsted, whipped Harold Kobllng for a thing ho hud not done. Harold ran away. No one knew it i but I. and I was nobod)'. But I thought ns much of Harold as ever a human being could think of another. And I knew that lie was wronged and I felt that Mrs. Robilng had done a dreadful thing when she took Squiro Halsted for hor second husband and let him rule her, take possession of her money and ill-uso hor handsomo boy. 1 hnd my share of it, too, for while Mr. Robling lived and while sho was a widow I was like a daughtor of tho houso. But no soonor had she come back from hor honeymoon than all that was altered. Tho squiro looked at mo coldly an 1 I hoard him ask Mrs. Halsted who I was. “Her mother diod when she was born,” Mrs. Halsted said, “and I took the baby to my own nursery, whoro Harold la)- in tho cradlo.” “More fool you, my dear,” said the squiro. “The fathor wont away,” said Mrs. Halsted, “and wns lost at son—so they said—and I kept tho little girl.” “You must roraembor that sho will need to earn her own bread,” said tho squiro. “Sho is not a lady. Lot tho servants keep her in their part of tho house and tench her lior duties as waitress. ” “Oh, Mr. Halsted!” cried tho bride, “I cannot do that.” “My dear,” said Mr. Halsted, “I am master bore.” Tho poor lady was helpless. Sho had no longer any control of hor own money. I was six years old, Harold the sumo ago, and a torriblo life we ; had of it. I was very woll used in tho kitchen, but 1 fo’.t cast down and ! degraded. I wore big crash aprons that covorod mo from head to foot, i instead of my pretty muslin and silk | drefuses. I was delicate and waiting is hard work when your wrists aro 1 slender. Mrs. Halsted did all sho could for mo. I used to hear her ploading with tho squire to let hor send mo to a boarding-school to learn to boa teacher, but he called hor “a little goose,” and sho fancied him very wiso. But for Harold I should novor have known anything, as nfter echool ho used to come to me and tcacli me what ho had learned himself. Cook would whisper: “That’s right, Master Harold. Il'9 a good deed you aro doing. God spare you I wns never taught to rado mcself on account of an evil-minded stepfather iv mo own that put mo to sarvico before I could got schoolin’, an’ I know tho loss.” And not a servant but would have waited in ray place, for they said I was too small to carry dishes; but tho cruel squire would have me come in to make sure that ho was obeyed. Mrs. Halsted really felt bad about it, I know. But two little girls came soon and then a little boy, and soon she cared nothing for her own splen did boy, and why should sho care for me? But I am wandering away from tho morning when llorold Robling, just eighteen that day, walked down tho garden path in tho gray morning light and I with him, choking down ray sob 9. For now tho one boing I loved was going away from me, per haps forovor. It was only five o'clock and no one was up. Tho grass was wot with dew and there were only a few pink streaks in tho sky to tell that day was coming. Wo did not dare to speak until wo got out of hearing of the houso, but then I said: “Oh, llarold! what will you do with no money and ao friends—alono in tho world?" “Many a young fellow has done tho same sort of thing," Harold said. “No man with limbs and senses need to starve, and I mean to make my fortuno. But I'd rather work in tho tranches for my daily broad than to livo in Squiro Ilalstod’s houso. and with a mother ho has bowitehoi into doing what ho wishes, wliatovor it may ho. It was a crimo to make a servant of you, little sister. But re member, the moment I have power in my hands all that shall ho altorod. I will write you, and you shall know just how I get on.” But now ho had got to tho whqrf where he was to take a littlo markot boat to New York, and I was obligod to leave him, for ho did not want tho squiro to find out what ho had dono until ho was fairly out of roach, and then ho put his arms about my waist and kissed me. “Good-by, littlo sistor," ho said, good-by Dora, my pot. Kcop up a good heart and never forget to an swer my lottors.” And ho was off, and I wont homo wooplng as though my heart would break. Thero was a torriblo timo at tho houso when they found out ho had gono, and tho squiro swore ho would novor enter his doors again. But tho squire's daughters, wliohatod Harold as their father did, though ho was their own mother’s child, said they were glad ho wns gono. And only I remembered him, I think, very long. A woak woman was Mrs. Halsted. and hor husband had got her under his power. Tho way ho managed her has always made mo think that thero must l>o something in magne tism or hypnotism. She scorned to have lost hor jensca or to have grown mentally blind, and he lead hor where ho would. Just about time I fell vory ill and when I grow better tho squire, know ing I was good at my needle, mado a seamstress of me. I was ashamed to say why. but it was because I looked rather stylish and was called pretty and so many questions wero asked about me by guests. As a seamstress I could stay iu my upper room and work. I was so thankful for the change. Now I could road a little and be more to myself. I made the finery for the young ladies of the family and no one troubled me. Onoe. indeed, a rich old gentleman, having somehow got ay story from Md oook. eovffht me oet and SjSjssMis ytyoßMas t* mtSm* did. But I thanked him and declined bU offor. I was not UQbappy now, except that l pined for news of Her* old. for in all these years no word had come from him—none of thoso letters he had promised. I felt suro ho was not doad and it was very natural that ho should for get to write, but my heart had no rest. 110 was 26 years old by this time and in all that timo much might have happened. My pillow was often wot with tears from thoughts of him—fancies of what ho had suffered and longed to meet him, or only sco him from afar but onco again. At last nows came. Mrs. Halsted carao running to my room wild with joy. “Nows of my boy!" sho said, hold ing a lottor toward mo. 1 “I thought you had forgotten all about him. madame.” I said. I was sorry tho noxt inomont, for sho burst into tears and faltered through her sobs: “You don’t know what it Is to bo the wife of a man who dominates your will! I have novor forgotten or ceased to regret other things.” Then sho wiped hor eyes and said: “But, as far as Harold goes, it is all over. Ho has written to mo. He is rich— roally rich. 110 has mado a fortuno In California, and ho is coming home to seo me. Ho is in New York and will lxj here to-morrow. Tho squire is pleased; tho girls uro wild to soo him; his littlo brothor is dolightod.” .She ran out of the room again, looking young and happy, and I sat down to my machino, swallowing a groat lump that hnd risen in my throat. Ho hod not written to ino. Woll, I was only a sorvant, and ho was a rich man now. Thov wero rejoicing in his coming for that reason—tho squiro and his children. Ho was a very different person from tho poor llarold Robling who went away. “I expect ho will give us lots of presents,” I hoard ono of tho girls say. “An older brothor who is rich is a great thing to have. Wo must pet him and make him good-natured” “Oh, yes,” said tho other. “When girls have as stingy a father as wo have a generous older brother is a godsend.” And I—-oli! If he returned in rags, bogging his bread, I should have wel comed him. I cared for him, not for his money. And if ho had returned poor it was I to whom ho would have written, I knew well. But I tried to put the selfish thoughts away and re joice for his sake that ho had pros perod, oven if ho had forgotten his littlo sister Dora. Tho morrow came. As I iiat at my machine I hoard the sounds below that told ho had arrived. I hoard his mother cry out and tho squire say heartily, “Welcome homo, my boy!” aud his sisters squeal and giggle after away tlioy hnd. Thou the great drawing room doors were closed shut ting mo out. I, who loved him so doarly, went back to my room alono. uncared for. wrotched! I felt as though my heart would break. I could no longer keep back my tears. Half an hour passed; then some ono came to tho door—a sorvant—who told mo that- I was wantod in tho parlor. Trembling, quivering, feeling a.u I had novor felt bofore, I oboyod tho summons. I opened the drawing room door. Tho squire stood boforo the firo, important as usual, one hand in the breast of his coat, tho other wav ing toward mo ns he uttered these words: “Dora. I have sent for you bocauso Mastor Harold has returned and wishes to meet a faithful servant of tho family.” But before tho words wero out of his mouth llarold. handsomer and larger, but tho same for all that—the very Harold that I know —rushed forward and took both my hands and bent down und kissod me. “I told you, sir.” ho said, “that 1 wantod to soo Dora—tho dearest boing allvo to me! Such words as you uttor I cannot permit you to speak as though they woro mine. Yon have novor received any of my lottors, Dora, but I have guessed why.” “1 never havo received a letter. Harold,” I answorod. “So I thought,” said he. “Wc will not ask who lcopt them from you. I havo no wish to quarrel with anyone; but you woro my only friend yoara ago when I went out into tho world homeless and penniless, hnd I havo come now to ask you to share with mo tho home that I can now offer you. ” “Share your home, Harold?” cried tho squire. “Tho girl is not y«.ur sister. It can't be dono. It would bo improper!” “I am glad, sir, that tho girl is not my sistar,” replied Harold, “for she Is the girl I want for my wife and here, before you all, I ask ho? for her heart and hand, and proud shall I bo if sho will give thorn <r me.” I oould not answor. but he saw all I folt in my face, and lod mo away wish him.

And she does it with such a shy and modest little blush. Now tho question is, will tho ••vapors” and “swoons” and ••sob bings” of that period come in again? The Amelias and Delias und Carolines of that day were always in a dead faint over something. They fainted for joy and fainted for sorrow.

What bo- I came of the other horn nobody knows. This one was beautifully fashioned by Mr. Atkinson's brother into the form of u fish. A niche had been cut into the edges of the open end. and c.'e-i of glass inserted on tho sides, while ivory fins decorate it in the proper places. It ia lii d on tho in-ido with red plush, and thus with its mouth on a bias and its curved : tail it looks for all t'.io world like a trout or a salmon as it jumps out of J the water. A hook is in its gill, and | a ribbon on the hook, so that all j complete, while a fish, it is a hand ! some jewel ease. This is tho use to | which the horn of Mrs O’Leary’s cow | has come at last- With tho stranjo relic is the following: MADE FROM THE HORN OF Mltfi. o’leaky’s COW, THAT KICKED OVER THE LAMP AND CAUSED THE GREAT FIRE OF CHICAGO. | “I wouldn't take $5)9 for it,” said j Mr. Atkins* n to an Examiner re- I [ porter. “I have had many oilers for I j it, but won’t sell it at all. 1 am ■ j goin : to keep It and hand it down a- j |an heirloom in my family.” Mr. !
