EOMANCB OF A DISH TOWEL
"How happena it, Tom, that you never
married?" asked Harry Stanhope of his
friend, Tom Meredith, as the two sauntered slowly along Broadway one fino
spring afternoon.
"Because I oould never find any woman
who would here me, I suppose," answered Tom laughingly.
"No use to tell me that, old fellow,"
rejoined Harry. "Girls are not so foolish
as to decline taking a good looking man
like yoa, with plenty of money; yet here
you are, nearly 30years old, and no more
prospect of settling than you had 10 years
ago. How, tf it were me, why, the case
is very different. A doctor, just struggling into practice, is scarcely considered
'eligible' by the match making mammas,
to say nothing of their worldly wise
daughters; bat they are all ready and
eager to smile upon you, and you might
as well make your choice."
"Thank you," answered Tom, still
laughing. "When I find a young lady
who can come ap to my grandmother's
standard of domestio virtues I will invite her to become Mrs. Thomas Mere-
r__a_"
"And what *~W your grandmother's
peculiar doctrine on the subject?" inquired Harry.
"I presume she had more than one,"
said Tom, "but this she particularly impressed upon my mind: 'Always look at
a woman's dish towels,' she would remark with much solemnity. 'No matter
how well she plays the piano, or sings, or
how many languages she can speak, never
marry her, unless you see that she uses
soft, dry towels, and plenty of them,
when she wipes dishesl Be sur* that a
girl who uses soiled or wet dish towels
does not know enough to be the wife of
any honest man.""
Harry laughed at this definition of
housewifely knowledge.
There is considerable truth in the old
lady's ideas after all," he said, "bot I
don't quite understand how, in these days
yoa can apply the test; most young
ladies that we know, have, perhaps,
never seen a dish towel.' Now I think of
it, I promised to introduce yoa to my
cousins. There are three of them, all
bright, pretty girls, though I think tt
doubtful whether they would fulfill your
grandmother's requirements as a wife.
Still yoa may find them pleasant acquaintances, and tf yoa Uke I will go
there with you now."
".Agreed," responded Tom, and the two
friends soon found themselves in the parlor of Mrs. Renshaw, Harry's annt.
The young ladies were all at home, and,
as Harry had said, were bright, pretty
girls. Ida, the eldest, was a tall, queenly
brunette, though she had a powerful rival
in Adele, the second daughter, whose
delicate blonde beauty showed to fresh
advantage beside her more brilliant sister. The two were acknowledged belles
in their own circle, and few who knew
them ever paused to give a second glance
at their youngest sister—little Violet.
She was not present when Harry and his
friend entered; bat when her cousin,
with whom she seemed a great favorite,
asked expressly for her, Miss Adele carelessly desired the servant to call her.
Tom, who was conversing with Ida, did
not notice ber entrance till aroused by
Harry's voice saying:
"Mr. Meredith, let me introduce yoa to
my cousin, Miss Violet Benshaw."
And turning quickly he Wae surprised
at the sight of the tiny creature, so on-
like her elder sisters. There was nothing
magnificent and Uttle that could be
strictly termed beautiful in tbe almost
childish figure, but something indescribably winning in the clear gray eyes, and
in the rich chestnut curls that clustered
about the broad, low brow.
"Wall, what do yoa tbink of my threo
cousins?" was Harry's natural question,
when he and Tom were once more in the
street.
"I can only express my admiration by
saying that I wish it were possible to
divide myself into three separate and distinct individuals that I might offer each
of the fair enslavers a hand and heart,"
repUed Tom with much solemnity*.
"What, without even waiting to discover whether their dish towels are is
proper order V retorted his friend.
Tom laughed.
"I have a' presentiment that I shall tor-
get my revered grandmother's advice
until it ia too late, when the important
event of meeting my fate shall arrive."
Weeks passed on. Tom was devoted
in his attentions to the Misses Renshaw.
Almost every day brought some good
and sufficient excuse far bim to call at
Mrs. Renshaw's pleasant house; a new
poem, the latest song, an invitation for a
drive, or a plan for some excursion.
One lovely June morning he presented
himself at Mrs. Renshaw's at quite au
early hour, intending to invite tlie three
sisters to pass the beautiful summer day
in a long country drive.
He noticed that there was some delay
in answering his ring, which was Dot
usually the case with Mra. Renshaw's
weU trained servants, but at length he
heard a light footstep ia the hall, and ia
another moment the door was opened by
Violet. She had a broom ia her hand,
and a dusting cap covered her bright
curls, bat she bade good morning with
as much cordiality as usual, and invited
him to enter, adding:
"Please walk into the dining room, for
I am just sweeping the parlors."
Secretly wondering, Tom obeyed. As
he tnrned the handle of the dining room
door there was a sudden rush, a hasty
bang of a door, and a hurried exclamation of "Oh! Violet! how could you ?" and
he found himself in the presence of the
fair Adele, though for a moment he
scarcely recognized her in the slovenly
dressed girl, with disheveled hair, who
stood by the breakfast table dabbling thu
cups and saucers in some greasy water
and wiping them on a towel, which, to
say the least, was very far .from being
spotlessly clean. She colored, and witl)
some confusion of manner said:
"Ah, good morning, Mr. Meredith. So
you have come to find us all at work this
morning ? It happens that we have for
our three servants a brother and two
sisters. They received this morning the
news ai tiieir mother's dangerous illness,
and mam ma at once gave them all per*
mission to go home. We supposed wo
could get a woman who sometimes does
extra work tor us, but she was eugaged
for the day, ao we are obliged to do tho
best we can, ourselves."
"Can not you allow me to assist yoa?"
asked Tom politely. "I was brought up
on a farm, and have often washed dishes
and made myself generally useful about
the kitchen."
"Too!" exclaimed Adele, in such an
astonished tone that Tom could not forbear laughing.
"Yes, certainly; why not?" he inquired.
"Oh, I don't know—only I thought—
yoa never did anything," stammered
Adele; tben endea < i ig to seem at ease,
she said hurriedly," ires, if yoa wiU help,
please take this heavy tea kettle into the
kitchen and set it ua the stove."
Tom seized the kettle, and throwing
open the door leading to the kitchen was
crossing the room t ward tbe store, when
his progress was a. rested by the sudden
appearance of Ida from the store room
beyond. If Adele looked sl-.v.-nly and
disheveled, what shall besai.! ■•[ Ida? An
old dress, slippers run down al tlie heel
and burst out at V e sides, i-o collar or *
ruffle, very-little bair instead .if the magnificent tresses he had so often admired,
and what there w_s hanging uncombed
about ber face, no wonder Tom started
in blank astoaigUiueut,
A heavy frown took the place of the
usual smile, as she curtly bade him good
morning. Tom muttered aa apology for
his intrusion as he deposited his burden
on the stove and turned to retrace his
steps, jnst aa Viplet entered from the
dining room. She did not see him, but,
■addressing Ida, aaid:
"Run away now, Ida dear, and dress
before callers come for yoo. I have
already seat Adele ap stairs, and will
finish toe dishes now I have done my
sweeping."
Vou have been long enough about it,
I hope," muttered Ida ungraciously, but
nevertheless avail g herself of her sister's offer with much alacrity. "Here
are the dish towels, Violet," she said,
extending several greasy, blackened articles to the young girt.
Tom had been meditating aa escnpe;
not an easy affair, as the sisters stood
directly in his path; but at the word dish
towels he involuntarily stopped and
glanced around. "No wonder my grandmother cautioned me," wag his first
thought as the soiled towels met bis
sight, and he hastily approved the look
of disgust which crossed Violet's face as
she quietly laid those aside, and, opening a drawer, took from tt a plentiful
supply, soft, dry, and clean.
Ida and Adele h d both disappeared,
and Tom ventured to renew his offer of
assistance to Violet, who started a little
as she for the first ti.ae noticed hia presence.
"<Mi, veiy well," said Violet, smiling
and blushing a little as she met his gaze.
"If you are rea. y so much in need of
employment, I will try to provide somo
for you. Suppose you set these dishes on
the lower shelf of the closet, as 1 wash
them—then I can arrange them after
they are all done."
Tom obeyed, ard was rewarded by
being allowed tobi'ng a hod of coal from
the cellar, and do various other little errands, all the while he was noticing the
neatness and dispatch with which Violet
worked, and was especially observant of
the clean, dry, dish towels, and the skill
with which, when done using them, abe
washed and scalded and hung them to
dry.
He declined the invitation to dinner.

"Might I inquire who is tbe fortunate
damsel?" asked II .rry, laying down hi-
book; "and how are you so suro of your
revered relative's approval?"
Tom told his morning's experience,
concluding with "If she will only accept
me, I shall be the happiest man alive,
and all owing to my dear old grandmother's advice."

"Good byal"
Barbara speaks the words slowly and
with outward calmness, bat inwardly *
her heart is aU on fit* with wrath and
righteous indignation. Charlie Stafford
is pale and angry looking as he stands
confronting her, bis dark eyes full of a
somber light, his lips compressed beneath
the shadow of his black mustache.
"Good bye!" repeats Barbara, with a
suggestive glance toward tlie door.
"Yoa mean it, Barbara—Miss Lyn-
wood, I should say " (stiffly)—"you really
mean to throw me over ia this cold
blooded fashion after all these months?
You can credit the false assertions of a
scandal loving old gossip, and believe-
actually believe me guilty of this of which
you accuse me? Barbara—Miss Lyn*
wood, I m -an—I would never have believed it of you. You have seemed such
a trusting Uttle thing, so——"
* "Hush! I say; aot another word, air!"
"That ia jast what Mrs. Moore said," she
pants, in a low, bushed voice—" that
same scandal loving old gossip of whom
you speak. She said that I was easily
influenced, and believed all that yoa'
might say withoat reservation; that, in
abort, you were trifling with me, and I
was too silly and gullible to comprehend
the truth of the situation. She told me
of your flirtation with Mis. Amyot "
"Wbichis utterly false," interpolates
the young man quietly, but his dark eyes
flash witb resentment—"utterly and absolutely false, Barbara. I have been decently polite to Mrs. Amyot, no more,
and she is engaged to my cousin. WeU,
what else did Mrs. Moore say to you ?"
"I have told you all that I care to repeat," returns the girl defiantly; "butit
is enough to prove to me that we can bo
friends no longer, you and I. We have
never been anything but mere frienda. *
"No, we have been nothing but mere
friends,   Barbara,"  he   returns   sadly;
"yet; "   He holds out his hand. "Good
bye, then," he says simply.
For just a moment her hand lies in his
broad palm; then the door opens and
closes, and he is gone.
"Gone!" she moans in the bitterness of
ber aching heart; "gone—forever! Yet,
oh, Charlie, Charlie, I would lay down
my life for your sake!   Bat, no!
"I can not help believing what Mrs.
Moore said," she goes on slowly, "for
what object could she have in misrepresenting the matter? It can not concern
or interest her, che state of affairs between Charlie Stafford and myself. Yet
she has told me enough to make mc give
him up forever.   How can I bear it!
"To boast in the presence of others
that he possessed my love!" she goes on,
in angry wrath—" to say that he is essential to my happiness—that Barbara Ly n-
wood will not look at another man when
he is near! Such conceit—such outra
gous, abominable insults!"
She can go no further; ber wrath
pauses to take breath. Then she goes to
her own room to prepare for the evening's
amusement—a dance at a neighbor's.
It wiU be an informal affair—Littleton
Is a small village—but Barbara has looked
forward to this dance with thoughts of
unalloyed happiness with Charlie Stafford. She dresses herself in her prettiest
gown and is soon at Mrs. Morton's handsome home, where already a large number of young people are assembled.
But Charlie Stafford is not preseut, and
he does not make his appearance during the entire evening. Mrs. Amyot, a
pretty young widow, volunteers the information that he has left Littleton—baa
gone to another city to remain indefinitely. Barbara overhears the announcement and her heart stands still wfth a
dark foreboding of coming evil. Yet she
has sent him away from her. Why, then,
should she be troubled ?
She leaves Mrs. Morton's at an early
hour and goes home ia a very unenviable
frame of mind. When she reaches home
she finds Mrs. Moore in the parlor with
her mother. At sight of the girl the
irrepressible old gossip, who is old enough
to know better, cries effusively:
"Such a thing has happened, Barbie!"
You know Charlie Stafford? Of course, I
am only jesting; we ail know that yoa
are weU acquainted with him, and that
he has been your very shadow. Well,
poor fellow! he was going to Memphis
this evening to remain for some time,

Mrs. Moore comes to tbe girl's sido.

The cougai secures its prey by creepin-
stealthily behind it, until near enough U<
spring upon and st.ike it down. It wil.
attack a man in the daytime if it can approach him unseen, and is hungry. Ir
an article contribut *d to "The Big Game
of North America," Mr. W. A. Pern
describes a terrible fight between n
Swedish sailor and a cougar, which took
place near the house of the writer's
father.
Ihe sailor, Joseph Jorgenson, ran away
from a British man of war anchored iu
the harbor of British Columbia, and made
liis way to Washington, where he tookup
a quarter sectioa of Government land.
One morning he began clearing a spot
whereon to build a house. He was vigorously wielding a spade, when suddenly
his arm was seized by a cougar's jaws.
Joe was very strong, and by a kick in
the stomach he forced the beast to fall to
the ground, The cougar sprang at the
man's throat. With his left arm Joe
warded off its jaws, while with his right
he dealt it a blow in the ribs that again
felled it to the ground.
Quick as a flash the beast seized Joe's
left hand. With his right fist and heavy
boots Joe beat and kicked the animal
until it released his hand. Retreating a
short distance, tt sprang on his breast
and knocked him against a tree. Again
he cuffed and kicked it until it let go and
retreated.
Joe then happened to see the spade he
had been using, tying at Ida feet. Ho
snatched it, and warded off the cougar's
spring by a timely thrust. The brute fell
at the man's feet, but instantly rose and
seized him by the thigh. Concentrating
his strength Joe drove the sharp blade of
the spade into the beast's head, aod itfeU
dead at his feet.
Bitten and scratched, the blood streaming from a dozen wounds, he reeled home.
It was many weeks before he recovered,
and when he grew strong he had lost aB
desire for farming. He shipped on aa
American coaster as a sailor, saying that
he had less fear of the sharks than of tho
"Big Kitties."

Woman SiiiTr.g. aa Old Story.
A curious extract from the parliamentary writs of 300 years ago, preserved in
the Rolls Chapel, goes to prove tliat
woman suffrage was not unknown at that
time: "To all Christian people to whom
this present writing may come, I, Dame
Dorothy Pakiogto. , lord and owner of
the town of Aylesbury, send greeting.
Know ye, we, the said Dame Dorothy
Pakington, to have chosen, named, and
appointed, my trusty and well beloved
Thomas Lichfield and George Boredon,
Esqrs., to be my burgesses of the said
town of Aylesbury; and whatever Hte
said Thomas and George, burgesses, shall
do in the servioe of tbe queen's highness
in that present parliament to be holden
at Westminster the 3d May next ensuing
the date hereof, I, tbe said Dame Dorothy
Pakington, doe ratifie and approve to be
my own act as fully and wholly as if I
were or might be present there. In witness whereof to these presents I have set
my seal this 4th day of May, ia the fourteenth year of our Sovereign Lady Elizabeth by the grace of God, etc." Dame
Dorothy seems to have got a Uttle mixed
as to her dates and her grammar, but
"Thomas Lichfield and George Boredon"
were undoubtedly members for Aylesbury ia 1751.
Gold From Hot Sprl-a-ga.
One of the most remarkable gold mines
in the world is the -Mount Morgan, situated ia Queensland, Australia. The
profits in one year from this mine were
$6,000,000, aad the levels are by no means
yet exhausted.
Aside from the richness of the deposits
the mine is exceedingly interesting from
the fact recently made public through a
geological survey, that the deposits were
made by a hot spring, the ore being siliceous "sinter" impregnated with brown
ironstone carrying a large percentage of
gold.
The sinter is described as a light,
frothy, spongy, or cellular rock, which is
undoubtedly of hot spring origin. There
are no hot springs at present in the vicinity of the mine, although there are a
number in other parts of Queensland.
As the most remarkable hot spring
district in the world is Yellowstone
Park, tbe existence of gold deposits ia
that vicinity It naturally suggested. A
careful search, however, made by members of the Geological Survey has failed
to confirm the hypothf.

out West feeling the public pulse. Ward
asked me to introduce him to Harrison,
and I did so. At first they talked about
the weather, but they gradually drifted
into politics, the silver question, and the
wheat crop. Harrison remarked that
the country was getting along very nicely, and all we had to do was to let well
enough alone.
This remark put a wire edge on the
man from the West, and getting up close
to the President he asked in a voice that
needed oiling:
"What do you call 'well enough V Do
you consider it 'well enough' that the
price on all farms in the United States
has declined 50 per cent, during the past
ten years't Is it 'well enough'that the
burden of all indebtedness has lieen increased from 30 to 40 per cent., as measured in labor and its products V Is it
'well enough' that foxy old John Bull
uses our debased silver to lower the price
of our wheat 30 per cent., thus giving
England cheap bread at the expense of
the American farmer ?"
Harrison was somewhat disconcerted,
but.replied that he thought the Western
farmer was doing very well. I came to
Harrison's relief by asking the stranger
from the West if he didn't want to go
with me and inspect the Washington
monument, but he was not to be led off
in that way.
"Mr. President," he said, "you should
read an article written by Mr. II. W.
Wheeler, in the American Banker, defending the crime of 1873, in which he
says: 'India is, and has been for many
years, the principal competitor in the
wheat market with which the farmers
of the United States have had to contend.
India being on a silver basis, Europe, in
buying India's wheat, has bought silver
by the ship load at its market price in
gold and shipped this silver to India and
exchanged it for wheat. As a matter
of fact, the lower the price of silver, the
more of it could be bought for a dollar
in gold, hence the more wheat could be
bought with Europe's gold converted
into silver, and the more wheat a silver
dollar would bay in India, of course, the
lower the price of wheat in the United
States.' And Mr. Wheeler claims to be
an American citizen."
The President perspired freely and
tried in vain to collect his arguments
with which to overwhelm the man from
the West, for the hard question turns
away argument. In the meantime I told
the latter that I knew where then was a
restaurant where we could get terrapin
and oysters, bat he heeded me not, tor
he said with emphasis, holding his chin
nnder the Presidential nose:
"Does it occur to you that if we had
issued a legal tender paper dollar for
each 871.25 grains of American silver,
and stored such silver in American
vaults, that we would: first, Have increased the volume of our circulating
media ; second, Have retained possession
of our silver; third, Have received 30
per cent, more for our export wheat ?"
The visitor from the West paused for
a reply. Harrison looked appealingly at
me. Said I to the visitor: "We have
got a hog around here that weighs 2,000
pounds.
**rd like to see that hog," said Mr.
Ward, forgetting all about the silver
question and President Harrison. We
darted out to see it, but it bad been removed.
When I got back Harrison showed his
gratitude t>y embracing me warmly.
Hereafter I wiU be more careful whom
I introduce to the President.
In my last letter I informed you that,
at the request of the President, I would
begin a month or so earlier to break up
the solid South. Another week has
passed and the South is as solid as ever,
because RuM' Aransas escapade has
kept me so busy that I have had to neglect my other duties. As soon as I
have vindicated Ru$$ from the charge
of obtaining money under false pretences,
of which he is guilty, I will begin to
boom up his father all over the South
for a second term.
I have been examining tbe facts in the
Aransas swindle, and it will tax my
abiUties to keep liu$$ from being locked
up. If he goes Scott free I don't see any
sense ia interfering with green goods
fakirs, bat we have to save Ru$$ so we
can all keep our heads in the public crib
four years longer. If Ru$$ is extradited
and taken to Texas for trial, he will be
convicted. Event! the President pardoned him oat, as he did Gen. Franz
Siegel's slop-over son, that would not
help us, for the people will not re-elect
a President who has a son who has been
going around wearing his hair cropped
and a number on his back. We have to
carry such men as Wanamaker, Iiauni
and Quay, who are sharp enough to keep
eut of a striped suit, bot a Presidential
son who is a regularly ordained convict
it tbo last feather that would break the
American camel's back, so you see Ru$$
must be vindicated, so we cau keep on
getting our meals regular.
The Aninsas Harbor and Land Improvement Company advertised that it
had t|6,000,000 paid-up capital. This
turns oat to be a lie in an advanced stage
of decomposition.
Russ, as President of the Company,
promised to build a $75,000 hotel. According to the ground plan it was to be a
gorgeous affair with mullioned windows,
not and cold water in every room, five
stories high, cupolas, statuary, etc.
What the Company actually did build
was a little two-story shanty that would
be a disgrace to the town of Seguin.
Another condition of the sale was that
the Company should deepen the water
on the bar from eight to thirty feet, so
as to let in steamships, etc. The follow.

The mummified corpse of some old
Viking who departed this life perhaps a
thousand years ago was dug up recently
ia a peat bog at Holstebro, Denmark. It
was sewed in a deerskin, with sinews,
▼ery neatly. What there was of the old
pagan was weU preserved. He seemed,
however, to have lost part of his anatomy,
particularly his nose and part of hia
skull ia a fight, as Vikings were apt to
do, seeing that their life was oae long
battle. Such as he is, he wiU have the
place of honor in the royal museum, that
boasts of few such relics.

Hundreds of Texans purchased valueless lots. One of them called yesterday.
He wore a big hat and his hair long.
"Col. Snort," says he, "I've got ter be
provided for by the Republican party."
"Ate you related to the Harrisons ?"
I asked.
"They are none of my kinfolks, thank
God I but I have got to be keered for all
the same. Last year I was steered into
a bunco game in New Orleans, and now
I have been swindled by Russ Harrison;
but the bunco steerer has quit the business."
"Beformed, has he ?"
"Yes, sorter. He has gone into the
real estate business for good," and the
visitor pointed solemnly to the floor,
**Wa haa a 'difficult,' and the jury decided he died of lead poisoning. Can I
see Russ for a minit ?"
"My friend," said I, "come back tomorrow, and 111 give you a Texas post
office. A pair of Wanamaker's pants
and a post office go with every Aransas
Pass lot that is sold."
The man from Texas went away, but
he will be back to-morrow, when interesting developments may be expected.
If Col. Andy Faulkner, of the Texas
Central, will taring the railroad influence
to bear ob Harrison, yoa will soon lick
stamps in the Houston post office.
Yours for Reform,
