A LADY VIOLINIST. There waa to be a ooncert at the little •easide town of Stadgeleigh St Mary, and, through Home local acquaintance I had made here, I had been offered a part in the entertainment. The novelty of ihe attraction to this primitive little place of a lady violinist was the apology lor an offer which was gladly, and even gracefully, accepted. Indeed it was a godsend, tor I haij been offered liberal term* lot my ser­ vices. This sounds very mercenary, but the fact is I was in sad straits, and I had urgent need of the little help that I anticipated from this engagement. I had lost my husband only a few months since, and was left depender.t upon my own tesources for myself and my little son--our only child. The boy was sickly and delicate, and it was for his benefit that I was Bajouruing at this quiet little Bortth Devon watering-place. To add to my troubles, the child had been lately seriously ill, an'd was now 0alv slowly recovering * }>*»{ Tst s?™- ing careful uun*iug» beside many little indulgences, which sorely taxed my means to provide. One of his special wants was some­ thing to amuse and interest him, some­ thing fresh and inspiriting, and whioh he would not soon get tired of. The worst thing that threatened him now was lassitude and weariness, and the doctor had said that unless he could be roused to make an effort to overcome this he might sink under it after all. I played to him upon my violin; that cheered and pleased him for a time, but he was too weak to bear it long, and presently it wearied rather than benefit­ ed him. On the day of the concert I sat by my little Tbeo's bedside, playing to him and telling him what I was going to do, and so on, until it was nearly time to go. Then as I kissed him and prepared to leave I said that if he was good till I came back--for he was wont to be some­ what fretful while I was away---I would go out to-morrow and buy him some­ thing prettjr with the money I should get for playing at the concert. So he ninst make up his mind what he would like to have and tell me when I came home. -p? 'Oh, mammal I've made up my mind now 1" he cried. "I should ao like a little dog." ' A little dog, Dory?" I said. "Oh, that's a very funny thing to want while you're so ill. You must wait till you get well, and can run about and play with it. Xiittle dogs are of no use to little boys in bed." " Oh, yes, mamma; I can nurse him and play with him in bed. I mean a very little dog, mamma dear; a little white baby dog, like the man was sell­ ing on the Bands one day." I knew now what he was thinking of. Before he fell ill we had one day seen on the beach here a man offering for Bale a couple of ladies' lap dogs, little white curly creatures, resembling china ornaments, and equally useless. Dory had wanted me very much .to invest in these canine specimens, and could scarcely be made to understand that the price was prohibitive, and that china ones would do as well. But ever since his mind had run on white dogs. "Oh! I understand now, Dory," I answered. " Well, mamma will see to­ morrow what she can do; but I am afraid the man will have sold .those by this time. However, we must look about and perhaps we may find another, or something as good." This contented him, and so I kissed him again and went away to the concert. I here premise that I had sadly miscalcu­ lated my powers for the trial awaiting me. My late trouble and anxiety about my boy had quite unnerved and rendered- me altogether unequal to it It was my first public appearance, too, as violin­ ist, though I had taken part in many entertainments as a pianist and vocalist. The violin had been u»y husband's lead­ ing instruments, but my proficiency upon it, acquired from him, had never been intended for anything more than our own private diversion at home. ' It was my first appearance, too, since my hus­ band's death, which circumstance, added to a long and wearisome delay waiting-- to go on--for the management, regard­ ing me as a kind of " best goods," kept me in reserve to near the end of the pro- gTamine--was almost upsetting me. Thoughts and memories, past and pres­ ent, came crowding upon me, ending in nervousness and tears; and when my time came to go on, my eyes were red and swollen from weeping. I looked more like breaking down than anything else, and during my performance I scarcely lifted my eyes from the strings of the instrument till I made my firm! obeisance to my audience. I may say, with a pardonable pride, that I did pot break down, but won a a very well-marked applause that at any other time would have made my cheek md my eyes light up with pleas­ ure. But just now I wat> dull and apa- St etic, and in acknowledging the ovation aly directed ̂ downcast, half-dased look at ihe audience, nfcde a languid oourtesy, and retired wiii a wearied, un­ certain gait. j I Mi better when alfwas over, and I bad packed up my inntmment and pmt on my wraps ready to go home. I was Waiting for my escort, when the waiter --it was at the hotel that the entertain­ ment had been given--entered the room to announce a "part* outside wanting to speak most particularly to the lady as played the fiddle." ! He was followed My the "party** In question, who proved to be a stout, florid, agricultural person. He came up to me and shook me heartily by the hand, and still held it while he spoke. " Most delighted, my dear," he Baid, " with your playing. Never heard any­ thing like it--me and the old woman too. We re both very fond of the fiddle--play it myself, but bless me! nothing like yon. Ton must come and see us, if you're staying here. So sorry you're--" here he let go of my hand, and touched jhis eyes with his fingers--•" so very stfrry. But here. I've brought you something that'll be a good friend to you, and very useful It's only a little one yet, but that sail the bitter. Easier to teach, you know." He thrust into my arms something soft and warm---something that moved --and backed oat of the room with great precipitation, nearly upsetting the wait­ er, who seemed to have been a seafaring person, and used the most dreadful ex­ pletives. I looked down at the small animated object in mv hands, and be­ hold ! it was a little white dog--a beau­ tiful Pomeranian pnp. What a singular gift, and who" on earth was the donor ? And what could he mean by bolting off in that wild way, without giving me time to say a word? The seafaring waiter of the stormy lan- wa« appealed to for an elucidation ese mysteries, but he was morose and obscure. Requested to call the-eo- centric stranger back, he became hoarse­ ly explicit, as follows ; " 'Tain't no good. Gone aboard the shay, and well away on the home'ard tack by this time. Name of Fubsey. Thought you was blind 'cos you played on the fiddle, and give you that there dorg to steer you about with a yoke-line. Bought it off a party at the bar a pur­ pose. Called it Fi-dow. Take it 'ome and stick to it. Avast 1" Take it home and stick to it! The advioe was simple and easy of adoption, if not very choicely expressed. But was it strictly equitable? What right had I to this dog ? It had clearly been given to me under a mistake, and, if the owner should presently discover that I wasn't blind at all, and did not want a dog to lead me about by a string, what would he think of me for taking advantage of his error and keeping the animal ? But, on the other hand, since he was evident­ ly a good-hearted old gentleman, and no doubt meant well, would it not be kinder to leave him in his mistake than to cover him with confusion by the dis­ closure of the facts ? It was such a nice, dear little creature, too, and already so at home curled up in my lap, and I felt it hard to resist the gruff counsel of the stormy waiter. And tken there wss TH? Ii^t.10 fsllov? to be considered, too. Of oourse I bad been thinking of him from the first; but yet I was striving to put away the thought of him that I might see better to do what was right. But it would not do; my maternal instincts would have their way, and so the morose waiter's advice prevailed in deciding me that I might, at least, keep the dog for a few days for Theo to play with, just to see if it would do him any good. There was no saying how much good it might do, for it would be the gratification of a sick-bed fancy, and a relief to the tedium of his confinement, lor picture books and toys were not everything, and these could not play with him as Fido could. Then, when he got well, and I could tell him all about the dog, we would go to­ gether and take it back to the kind old man who gave it, who would no doubt be pleased to hear that it had been of some little use, though not in the way he had proposed. And I would take my violin, and, playing to the worthy Fub­ sey and his excellent "old woman," make it speak my gratitude for the gen­ tle sympathy that would have served me, and the impulsive kindness that did. Dory was asleep when I reached home, and the nurse said he had been a little restless and uneasy during the evening. He had expected me home before this, and I, not thinking that.I should be de­ tained till the concert was over, had promised him I would not be very late. The consequence was that he had fret­ ted a little, and there was just a fear that he might not be so well in the morning. I placed Fido on the bed beside him, and sat down and watched, that he might not wake and find me still absent. But he slept on--slept so Boundlv that I at last followed his example, and lay down by lus side, quite tired out We woke together, and the first thing we saw was the little Pomeranian sitting up at the end of the bed, regarding us both with grave attention. Dory was in ecstasies when I put the little white thing into his arms, and told him it had been given to me last night for playing at the concert How he caressed and fondled it, and how it frisked about and amused us both ! and how we laughed together at its gambols, and at the account, which I invented to make Dory appreciate it more, of its presentation to me! I pretended it had been left for me at the door by some good old man who had been pleased with my playing, and who must have known through some kind fairy that it was just the very thing I wanted for my little sick boy. So I said he must make haste and get well, too, for if it was a fairy dog it might disappear any night, if it found it wasn't doing him any good, or wasn't being well treated. In a few days Theo began sensibly to improve. He and the dog soon be­ came last friends, and, in fact, the hap­ piest results quickly followed from this new source of interest and pleasure to my little invalid, But the days were slipping by, and I Began to think of Fubsey, and of what he was thinking of me by this time; and yet I could not fiud it in my heart to separate these affectionate compan­ ions/ Each day that passed made these difficulties worse, but a solution of one, at least, was in store for me. Theo was now well enough to go out and run about with Fido. Walking one mnming through the town, Dory trot­ ting on in front of me and the dog every­ where, so to speak, the latter suddenly darted off the pavement under a horse and gig that was standing by. The child was just diving under the horse to pick him up when I stepped forward and re­ strained him. "Why, God bless my soul!" ex­ claimed a hearty voice behind me, "you ain't blind after all, no more'n me." I turned, and stood confessed in my enjoyment of the sense of sight before the genial Fubsey. " No, Mr. Fubsey," I said, picking up the dog: " no, my dear sir; I am not, in the sense you supposed. But I con­ fess I have been very blind to every other consideration bat a mother's solic- r itode far a sick and lonely child. I know, sir, that I ought to have sent this : doK bac* to you directly--before you : discovered the mistake under which yon so kindly gave it to me--but,my little boy here was just then recovering from a long and troublesome illness, and, thinking it would amuse and interest him, I took it home for him to be plei great the little fel- ITEHS OF im to play pleased to use in with. Perhaps you will be hear that it has been of 1 cheeling and stimulating 1 low to take exercise ; and they have be­ come such strong friends that I have not known how to part them. But now, sir, I think we can spare Fido ; and if you will take it back I will resign it with pleasure, and with grateful thanks for the kind intentions with which I am ! sure you bestowed it" I "Tut, tut!" said the farmer, "who's talking abeut taking it back ? When I gives a thing I gives it, and if I gives it in a mistake, more, fool me for making of it, and a unfeeling, blundering old brute beside, to go and take you for a blind woman. My dear, I'm as pleased as anything to find as I was wrong; and j as for taking back the dorg, why, I wish 11 had half a dozen more to give jaa for that pretty speech of youra. "Oh, thank you, sir, but I don't, | really," I said nervously. " One is {quite as much as we can manage, isn't | it, Dory? " I And then I made him shake hands with this estimable Mr. Fubsey, and told him he was the gentleman who had brought us Fido, and that the fairies were not going to take it back again ; so we would take it home and keep it--I had nearly said " stick to it"--and coma day we would go and see Mr. Fubsey, and take him something for his pretty and interesting little present. "Jump in now," cried the old farmer indicating the chaise. "Jump in, both of you. I'm going straight home, and the missus will be as pleased as Punch to find we've been in a miz-maze about you, and that you can see as well as either of us. She's often talked about you, saying what a pity it was, you so young and pretty, and clever too. But come, jump in, and we'll just be home in time for dinner." " Thank you very much, Mr. Fubsey, but, if you please, not now. It is so sudden, and I am quite unprepared; and, beside, Dory must not be out too long. I really will call and see you, sir; I have your address, but when I come there i* something I must bring with me that is just now at homo." "Meaning the fiddle?" cried the old man, catching brightly at my meaning ; "that's right, bring the fiddle and play to us. Come when you like, or let's know when you're coming, and we'll send the shay over for you. Bring the dorg, and the boy, and all, and we'll make you comfortable." To end my story as briefly as may be, Dory and I soon paid a visit to the farm­ house, and I took my violin and dis­ coursed sweet sounds, with all the art and skill that I was mistress of, for the gratification of my homely but most ap­ preciative patrons. They were delighted with my performance, but much more with the curious circumstances leading up to our present acquaintance ; the old f»r73i:-r -aughing se heartily at his blunder concerning me that I was constrained to laugh with him, loth as I was to turxi to merriment the sterling goodness that had foiled so quaint but touching an expression. Queer Ideas of Curative Oils. Some people still hold to curious old superstitions concerning the curative properties of the oils of certain animals ; and to hear the druggists tell of the strange articles called for by some of their customers is to be reminded of the vagaries indulged in by the aboriginal medicine man in his native wigwam. For instance, there are persons who pin great faith still to the virtues of rattle­ snake oil, and who believe it is a specific for rheumatic afflictions. A traveling quack, who announced that his cure-all was partly compounded of rattlesnake, reaped a Dig harvest of silver com from crowds on the square not long ago. There is a frequent demand for pickerel oil, which is said to be a cure for deaf­ ness, and which is fried from the livers of pickerel. Mudturtle oil is also fre­ quently called for by people who have stiff joints. It has been but two or three years since all these oils were sta­ ple articles in drug stores. Pickerel oil t-old for 50 cents an ounce, and turtle oil $1 a pint. These oils are rarely found to-day, and probably from this very reason are accredited the more wonder­ ful qualities by the oracles. --Jjewioton (Ate.) Journal. Twitting on Names. A good story is told of the late Ed­ mund Burke, of New Hampshire. When in Congress he had a controversy with a Mr. Arnold, of Tennessee, who spoke of New Hampshire as a State whose chief pioducts were ice and gran­ ite, and sneeringly suggested that its Representative was less like his name­ sake, the English statesman, than like Burke, the " burker." In his response Mr. Burke said he was at a loss to know whether the Tennessee Representative was like Benedict Arnold or some other Arnold; and, referring to the products of that gentleman's district as consist­ ing mainly of dogs aud hoop ' poles, brought down the ti< use witu the sug­ gestion that, while the hoop roleB were sent westward and down t ie Mississippi river, the dogs traveled eastward toward the national capital.

The city has a variety of localities whose names sound strange to unfamiliar ears, and hence are among the peculiar­ ities of the metropolis. There is " Mack­ erel ville," and also " Cowboy," and many other spots noted in the police reports. Among the more notorious it "Hell's Kitchen," which was brought before the public by the Rooney murder. " Hell's Kitchen " is a series of rookeriee inhabited by a class deeply sunk in misery, but notwithstanding poverty they always have money for whisky. Rooney only beat his wife to death-- which is so common a thing here that it hardly calls for more than passing notice. " Hell's Kitchen" is no worse than " Murderer's Row " or " Devil'B Eelpot," each of which has ita record. Then, too, look at the fanciful names enjoyed by an important element in our popula­ tion. There are the "Short Boys," the " Dead Rabbits," the " Man Eaters," and others, who not only vote, but often control elections, and also do their share to fill the penitentiary. ' 'Hell s Kitchen" is a richly remunerative investment to the landlord, for the poor always pay highest rent, and the tenements of this city are immensely profitable.

An execution to whioh more than pass-" ing interest attaches will take place in "Windsor, Vermont The condemned person is Em el in e M. Meaker, of Water- bury, who was convicted of the murder of an orphan girl thirteen years old, Alice Meaker by name, April 22, 1880. The wretched woman protested her in­ nocence on the occasion to set aside the verdict, as she has always done, but was sentenced to be hanged in the prison at Windsor on the last Friday of May, 1883. The crime, for which a son of Mrs. Meaker, Almon Meaker, is already under sentence of death, was one of the most horrible in even the criminal his­ tory of Vermont The child was a half- sister to E. O. Meaker, husband of Emeline, and was an inmate of their household, where she was Beverly abused and maltreated, being treated, indeed, as a Blave by Mrs. Meaker aud Almon. Almon was a half-witted, pliant tool in the hands of his mother. Mr. Meaker is believed to be inuocent of all complicity in either the abuse or the murder of the child. The child was taken from bed and dressed, a sack was tied over her . head, and she was taken in a wagon to a 1 'lonely spot in the woods, where a dose I of strychnine was giv^n her, and she was jleft to die in a swamp.
