Cyril Palmer and his friend, Amos Maxwell, sat in the bay window of the former's country houae, discussing a .certain weighty and private family af­ fair. The Major--or rather ex-Major, for be retired from the army after serving ill the late war--waa a man of 40, bronzed, wrinkled, a trifle gray, stern- featured and leaden-eyed. Thongli quite wealthy, he affected a disorderly pov­ erty of dress, and indulged in those A&bits of cheap dissipation which mark the decadence of so many scions of old BB<1 influential country families. Maxwell--a small attorney, of political atpirations--was a very different man in ootward semblance to the ex-officer, though their characters were quite simi­ lar. In place of the Major's brown and toughened face, ornamented with a «oarse nose, a thick bristly mustache and those side whiskers which define tile lower line of the inferior maxillary bone, the lawyer presented a pale, sharp countenance, smoothly shaven, and al­ most devoid of character. The habits which had left the Major's cheeks and nose empttrpled by tiny veins, which re­ mained injected with blood, had in­ creased the pallor of the attorney's face and made it more striking by "sundry black specks and pimples, which were horribly suggestive of mortification. In place of the Major's bull neck and ro­ tund «hest, his friend exhibited a throat like that of a turtle, Ana a cavernous thoracic region. Their dress, too, was almost «t opposite extremes. The offi­ cer sported his elotlies, and the lawyer was merely covered by his. The former wore a dark-blue frogged frock coat, gray pantaloons, a email glazed cap with gilt buttons, and earned a heavy muhicea cane; while the latter wore a conventional suit ^>f rusty black, and a •ilk hat, half covered with bombazine in Ijfeu of crape. *" If I had the whole property," re­ marked the Major, "£ oould live very oomiortaibly. It is not enough for two, however ; and the sooner I can get Lis married off the better." " But she won't marryagainst the pro­ visions of vour excellent father's will," replied Maxwell. " You •can't make her marry young DaviB unless she wants to. IX I understand it, she is to marry the one you approve#^, <pt lane liar jUalf of the estate." '* t "Yes." " Well, the chances are--you'll excuse me--the ckances are that she will out­ live you twenty years. If you die, the whole goes to her, don't it?" " Yes." " Then what are yon going to do aboat it? I don'teee how you can gain any­ thing: by her marrying." " I can't, anless I make tier marry aoroebody 1 disapprove of.** ^ghe isn't a "fool. She won't marry - fw< love in a cottage, and lose improper­ ly by it" Maj. Palmer was forced toeaniipas that he didn't think it likely. No one who had ever seeu the cold, still, dispassion • ate, totally selfish beauty of Elizabeth Palmer could have suspected her of any anch weakness. " I know," said the Major, "that aha Knld give her right hand to marry Bill vis, but " " Bat she wouldn't give $30,0001" " No; she's fond of him--very fond of him--but she has sense with it; and, what iB worse, thinks that she will only have to wait a couple of years to see me torn my toes up; then she'll marry whom she likes, and have the whole pile 'Jo herself. Cant get ahead of these women. There ian't any such thing In the book." " Not unless you come to life after she marries, and object to her choice.** "By Jove! Amos, I believe yon hit it, Oan't I fix that ? " " What do vou mean ?** " Go off and leave a will; get some fellow to swear I'm dead; let her marry Davis, and then turn up unexpectedly and raise thunder with the whole thing!" J' '«Too risky. It might pay to lfct on that you are dying, and trust to luck for her to anticipate your death. You might he unconscious--non compos mentis, or something of that sort--for a lew weeks, and be unable to say any­ thing about the marriage. Then, just before the ceremony, you can get well enough to express an opinion against it, and, by virtue of your guardianship, claim that she has forfeited all right to the estate. She needn't hear of it, though, till the knot is tied." " Can that be put through legally ?" " Yes, by the aid of a little money!" " It will be worth five thousand dollars ' to you if you can do it." " I can try it, anyhow." •'Amos, you're a tramp ! You and I were always good friends, even wlien 1 used to li<5k yon at school; and we ought to give each other a lift whenever we can --eh?" " Yes; I will do all I can. It will be a slippery business, but I think I can do it" "Good! Let us have a glam of brandy ian't rt and water en it My hand •ery steady this morning, and I need a little something to regulate my nerves." A few days after this, Cyril Palmer informed his sister that he felt " very queer," and waa going to New York to consult a physician. He had been threat­ ened with an attack of mania a potu, and she naturally supposed that, as he still drank excessively, this tendency was returning. It is numiiiatong to my nu- manitanan instincts to be obliged to con­ fess that her only thought was of the probability of her speedy acquirement of her own liberty and her brother's share of the property. A letter from the eity--received a fort­ night later, and signed by a somewhat- celebrated, though unacruplilous, medi­ cal practitioner--conveyed her news of the Major's severe and perhaps danger­ ous illness. She was warned that he might not live but a few days longer; and, although .he oould not see any one save his nurse and physician just then, she must hold herself ready to visit hiyn at any time. 3 She immediately began making prep­ arations for her marriage, as privately as possible, with young Davis, who had squandered his own wealth, and desired to squander that of the Palmers. Before long, another missive from the doctor announced that the Major lay in a state of apathy, unable to recognize any person, and evidently beyond the reach of science. If his sister wished to see him aiive, she had oest come at once. She did so, for the sake of the world's opinion, and found him in bed, in a darkened chamber, apparently un­ conscious. In a period of previous lu­ cidity he had arranged ail his affairs, and left her sole heir to and mistress ol the entire property. Once assured of this fact, the young lady had no hesitation in prosecuting her plans. Amos Maxwell showed her the greatest friendliness, and finished by advising her to marry young Davis, if she wished, immediately. " You will pardon me, Miss," he said, "If I speak plainly, but it is my habit. No one had a greater regard for your brother;, the Major, than I. We were fast friends from boyhood, though our paths differed widely. But he is now gone, as far as practical results are con­ cerned, and I do not see why his preju­ dices should be respected, when they are of such an unjust nature. I have often tried to reason him out of his dislike to Mr. Davis, but in vain. I drew up his testament, and can assure you that, at the moment of his death, you will be entirely free in this respect. Now, if you wait till then, it will seem in bad taste to marry before you have left off your mourning. My advice is for you to marry before you*put it on." This was apparently sound counsel, and Davis seconded it with all his might. Miss Palmer thought it over, coolly and collectedly, weighing all the chances, and finally decided that she had best fol­ low the suggestions of her lawyer and her lover. In a very short space of time ail the arrangements for the wedding were completed. The Major, who was -enjoy­ ing a loose sort of life in tows, and re­ ally bringing himself nearer to his feigned condition than he would have liked to acknowledge, was kept well in­ formed of all the movements of Davis and Miss Palmer by Amos Maxwell, who acted as legal adviser on both sides. On the eve of the marriage, the law­ yer suggested the possibility of a partial failure to the Major. ** When they find you've reoovered, they will use every exertion to retain possession of their naif of the estate," said he; " and, though tbe terms of the will are explicit in commanding Eliza­ beth to marry according to youar wishes, yet it is very difficult to keep a legal heiress out of her property by any such {provision in this country. K they choose to go to law and figlit hard, you will be likely to lose the suit." The deuce I will 1" " Yes ; and the count may aaspect a conspiracy, too--in which case you will suffer. It would be «afest for _you to get all your property out of your hands before you attempt such a stroke." •** How shall I work it? " " Oh, it is easy enough;; makeover all yeur real estate to some friend, for the time being ; then., if you tail, you will ut feast have lost nothing"" The Major, too ignorant of Saw to know whether this wae«ound or Hot, but placing implicit confidence in Maxwell, made over every cent he possessed to that gentleman ; and-expressed himself, in the presence of several witnesses, as gc*)ttt]y opposed to the match his sister was about to make--asserting that he would either prevent it or keep her out of her share of the estate. Jaet after the cerecaany hud beem per­ formed, Elizabeth Davis, nee Palmer, re­ ceived a telegram from New ¥oifc, as foUows:: NEW YOBSL, Oct. 8, IKS. EUEOBKTH PALMER : Dou't marry Daw, I am reooveriug, and forbid tie marriage. Octul Pauobl. The message fell like a thunderbolt upon the newly-married ©ample, who had fanciedCyril dying. Before they had re­ covered from their alarm and astonish­ ment, or decided what to <io, the Major returned--looking a little worn out, per­ haps, but by no means so emaciated m they had reason to expect. His first communication with his sister was a dec­ laration that he should never consent to the match, and, if possible, ahould not allow her a farthing. Legal steps were immediately taken, and the ex-officer, having seen nothing of his croay, Maxwell, for some days, called upon him for advice as to the best mode of procedure. " I am sorry, my dear Major, said the cadaverously respectable little lawyer, "but I really cannot act in your behalf any further. " What!" " I have discovered that our proceed­ ings were illegal, and I cannot go on with them. Indeed, I have been retained by Mr. Davis to conduct his side of th^ case!" The Major was the thunderstruck party now. " Why, you infernal little rascal," said he, getting dangerously purple in the face, " what do you mean? Are you go­ ing to betray me?"' " Don't use hard words, sir. I know my business, I believe: and this is my office." " I know it is : and I take this op­ portunity of kicking you out of your own premises !" replied the Major, with a terrific oath. The next moment Maxwell was sprawling on the walk, outside of his office door, and Palmer was standing over him brandishing his cane. "Assault and battery! You shall sweat for this 1" cried the lawyer. "Atid you smart for it now, don't you ?" said the Major, laughing grimly as he strode away. He did not laugh long, however. On sending to get the titles, etc., to the property which had been made over to the attorney, the latter returned word that he knew nothing about Maj. Palmer's affairs, and cared less thaa h© knew. The property had been assigned in due form, with all the necessary precautions, and Amos Maxwell oould keep it as well aa not, if he chose. The fact dawned upon the Major's mind, gTadiaily, that be hod been a dupe and was now * beggar. In trying to overreach his sister he hid been overreached himself, just as she Mad nearly fallen victim to her own covet­ ous desire for his share of the parental legacy. Having still the reputation of being wealthy, Maj. Palmer- found little diffi­ culty in procuring another lawyer, and determined to leave no stone Anturned to be avenged upon Amos. He first en­ gaged in a suit with his sister for the en­ forcement- of the terms of the will, and for a long time the war was waged with great skill on both sides. The indomit­ able uuRcrupulousnesa of Maxwell, who was retained by the defendants, tri­ umphed finally, and the Major found himself without a home, without means and heavily in debt. There was nothing to be done except to wreak military vengeance upon all parties, so the ex-officer sat down and wrote to Amos, accusing him of having misrepresented, turned traitor, swindled and committed various other ungentle- manly actions, for all which he must have "satisfaction." The only answer to this wns a Warrant for the Major's arrest. Sending a chal­ lenge is an infraction of the law. As soon as this new misfortune was settled, the victimized Major, still smarting for revenge, challenged Davis, who readily accepted. Singularly enough, although Maxwell lived in the same house with Davis--the former ccuntry-seat of the Major, in fact--and enjoyed the greatest intimacy with his quandam clients, he took no steps what­ ever to have the challenger arrested again. On the contrary, he counseled Davis to fight, and "settle the business once for all." The cold, gray daylight of a Novem­ ber morning broke upon a barbarous scene, enacted by Cyril Palmer, Will­ iam Davis and two or three of their ac­ quaintances, As the sun rose, dull and ghastly the simultaneous report of two pistols rang upon the misty air, and Davis fell, dying, with a terrible wound in his left side. His antagonist, who had raised a little money in expectation of the emergency, immediately fled to the West, where he remained in <he obscurity of an incogni­ to for a year, supporting himself by giv­ ing lessons in boxing, fencing, riding, etc., is a small town. The life he was leading there, however, grew insupport­ able, and hoping to effect a reconcilia­ tion with his sister he wrote to a friend in New York if it would be safe to re­ turn. The reply he received gave him hope and confidence. 1'SMIS had been taken to hush the duel up, and a rumor, ingeniously circulated, had given the public to understand that Davis had accidentally shot himself while out gun­ ning. One week from the date of the letter that bore this welcome intelligence the Major entered a restaurant in New York, where he had just arrived, and, takiqg a seat in one of the boxes, ordered break­ fast. He was worn by travel and chax&ed by bis year's experiences. His hair had fallen away from the top of his toad, and waa thickly sprinkled with white, as were also his whiskers and mustache. A deep cicatrice across his left cheek and nose--the effect <ef a wound acci­ dentally given by one of his fencing pupils with a broken foil--made IRS ex pression more sinister than ever, aud his attxre, though still preserving something of the military style, waa shockingly seedy, looking as though he was in the habit of sleeping in his clothes. The waiter who tookithe order brought him the morning jMiper and a brandy cooktail, JOS he directed, to " steady his nerves," drew down the box curtain, and went to -order the eggs aud coffee on wfeieh the Major alweys breakfasted. It was«till early, and the only persons in the saloon were itlie barkeeper and this one waiter. While the latter was gone, the barkeeper heard a groan--a convulsive movement--a struggle in the box where the Major-sat--and rait to see what was the matter. It was not much--the Major was only dying of apoplexy! He itad come to Sfew York with a strong belief that he oould work vpaa his sister's feelings of sympathy a*d fpity sufficiently to persuafe her into allow­ ing him to live with her free of expense. He promised himself itliat he would IIK>- have kindly toward 6ier, and pass the rest «f ikis days in quiet idleness, with­ out haf&ming anybody, or being hartmed. After the existence .he had led, this prospect seemed delightful to him, and it is not «trange that his disordered-and ruined «ystem should have given way under the shock which the following newspaper announceuMint gave him. as he ran to eye down ane marriage na- " Maxwell--Davis--On the 10th, Palmer® .Lauding, by (the Rev. John Bibtebanger, Amos Maxwell, Esq., to Mrs. Elizalxrth Palmer Davis, relict at the late Wnu Davis, *11 of Palmers Landing." So, whife the one rascal was altering upon the enjoyment of the entire Pal­ mer estate of over $60,000, the other rascal was during alone and unfriended. The assumed name he had borne served to prevent any one from identity ing him, and his very gcave is forgot­ ten the thousands in Potter's Field. Electricity as a Propeller *f Boats. Another new application of .electricity as a motor has been experimented in at Paris. M. O. Brouve, a well-known electrician, ha* devised a method of ap«- plying the electrical current to the pro­ pulsion of a boat, and the results have been eminently satisfactory. The ex­ periments have been made on the Seine on several occasions with a small boat containing from two to six persona. The boat has five and a half meters long, one and ft fifth broad, and weighs eighty kilogrammes. M Trouve's electric mo­ tor consisted Of a SiemenB coil, which, by a simple but ingenious arrangement is made to transmit its power to a three- bladed screw at the stern of the boat The motor itself is fixed on the upper part of the rudder, which it follows m its movements, as doea also the screw. The motor, with its accessories, does not weigh more than five kilogrammes. In the center of the boat are arranged two bichromate of potassium batteries of six elements each, and with a total weight of twenty-four kilogrammes. The two batteries may be employed to­ gether or separately, and at night while the one is driving the screw, the other mav be used for lighting purposes. M. Trouve's apparatus may be adapted to any boat, and there seems no reason whatever why it might not be so modi­ fied as to ne applicable to vessels ol much larger dimensions than that ex­ perimental one, which sailed against the current at the rate of one metre per sec­ ond, and with it at the rate of two and a half metres.

GAMSWWHT and Abel have found coal dust to be an important factor in explosions of the gases in mines. A mixture of ooal-dust and air is not ex­ plosive, but a quantity of fire damp too small to produce any effect when mixed with air alone causes the mixture to become violently explosive. Prcf. Abel's experiment# show that any kind of dust mixed with air containing a quantity of fire-damp converts the mix­ ture into an explosive compound. THE first complete description of the two newly opened pyramids of Sakkarah, in Egypt, has been given to a Cairo in­ stitute by M. Brugsch. They are located in the desert west of Sakkarah. The galleries and chambers are covered with hieroglyphics, in which the two words " Merina" and " Pepi" occur as royal names. Mr. Brugsch showed the two pyramids to to monuments of the two kings, Pepi and of his son Horemsaf, of the sixth dynasty of Maretho. The sar­ cophagi still stood in their old places; but of the mummies only one was found --that of Horemsaf, deprived of its orna­ ments and robes. The pyramids were evidently plundered in ancient times. They are the eaiiiest examples of royal graves in Egypt adorned with religious hieroglyphics. It is most remarkable that the Cairo Museum contains a tomb­ stone erected to the memory of Una, aa official at Kind Pepi's Court, the inscrip­ tion on which stone refers to the building by Una Of tbe pyramids which have now just been opened.

A writer describes the floating vegeta­ ble gardens of Lake Grinagar, in Cash­ mere : They are made by first planting poplar poles, twenty-five or twenty-eight feet long, in two or three rows, twelve or fifteen feet apart. Then the gardener gathers from the lake a lot of aquatic plants, and interweaves them between his poles. This forms the support of the garden. Then more plants are col­ lected from the lake, and piled up to the height of three or four inches. These soon rot and form the soil, and the gar­ den pkmts first sprouted on the land are then transplanted to the garden. At first they are watered, but it does not take long for the rootlets to find their way to the water underneath. The veg­ etables raised are said to be very fine, and are sold for very low prices.

A NEW YOKK girl Baid a picture waa " simply very very." Cirelessnem of Lady Shopper*. •- In a Dundas street dry-goods stove three ladies were purchasing goods side by side. One of them hung her um­ brella by the handle on the edge of the counter and went to another part of the establishment. One of those who still remained laid her ptp-se on the counter, and While making her purc hases it w«w accidentally shoved into the folds of the upturned nmbrella. When the clerk tore off his check and the lady reached for her pocket-book it was gone. She had just laid it upon the counter, and, of course, the lady who stood beside her must have taken it. Nothing could lie clearer. In tbe excitement which fol­ lowed the first-mentioned lady took pos­ session of her umbrella and walked out of the store, totally ignorant of what was within it. A policeman was called, and, amid much indignation and grief on one side and blustering on the other, the in­ nocent woman was conducted up stairs and searched. Of course the purse was not found and she was allowed to go. Now for the sensational part of the story. The umbrella was taken over to a hotel, thrown into a buggy, taken home and laid away. A few days later the house was burned down, but the umbrella, among other things, waa saved. A few weeks passed, and then { one day it was hoisted and out fell the missing purse. The lady remembered the incident iu the Btore, and on her ne-st visit to the city brought back the money and had it restored to the owner. In the period which intervened the woman who had been wrongfully ac­ cused had visited the store daily for the purpose of ascertaining whether any­ thing had turned up to prove her inno­ cence. The story is vouched for on the best of authority, and it is literally true. --London (Canada) Free Press. MS AU. CONSUMPTION GAR MALLS FOR THE LUH6S. Cam CenMmrtta*, •aensa.

Travels of an Eje-Steae. The following remarkable incident has just come to our knowledge. It would seem aliaoet incredible were it not for the absdute verncitv of the gentleman milking the statement. Mr. Kufus Miller is a well knawn former of this town, living at Meehanicatowu. Home Ave or HEX years ago, just before retir­ ing, Mr. Miller placed in hie .eye what is known aH aa eye-stone, for the pur­ pose of removing a mote, as be had fre­ quently done before. For the benefit of thaae of *ur readers who may stot know what an eye-stone ia, we will •explain. It is a small, white, round «!«£!, about three sixteenths of an inch in diameter, •concave OR one side, convex on the other And quite thin. It is taken from the ihead of a erab, one being found ander each eye ©f that criih-taeean. In the morning when Mr. MiUer awoke he «ould not find the stone. He made a | careful and thorough search, but all in naiu, and he made up his mind that it was gone for good. Becently he felt a hard growth on the end of the little finger of his right hand. He showed it to some friends, who concluded it was a wart and advised him to let it alone. He did .so until it began to be sore, and he commenced picking at it He soon found out that some hard substance was under the skin, and digging away he tiually took out his long-lost eye-stone. He examined it so carefully that there can be no mistake. He now recollects that at one time he experienced a con­ siderable soreness in his wrist and sup­ posed at that period the stone was press­ ing in that direction. How this bit of carbonite of lime ever made that long journey without being lost or absorbed is a mystery. That it did so there can be no doubt--Middletown (Conn.)

She gimme four pair cot­ ton socks and a heap of things, but still I didn't have no notion of her.
