The worst luck--he had not won once in three hours. At uau nui won once in uiret) uuurs. At p~.meo last, he threw down' the cards and left, , 1 swearing that never again would he be found seated at a card table. Ensconced in his coupe, he said to himself, with sullen anger, that all this never would have happened if the Countess had not had a headache--her eternal headaehc--and they would have gone to the opera together and yawned in company throughout the perform­ ance, as they always did on Fridays. Mechanically he thought of the story they told him of Montescourt one even­ ing at the club. It was almost a faroe, what with Montescourt's simplicity, his wife's per etual indisposition whenever she was called upon to accompany Ler husband to a ball or the theatre, and the handsome young man--who made the third in the dramatis persona;. Could it possibly be that the Countess was playing the same trick on him to be alone and free for an entire evening* Was not that headache a mere pretext! One by one a thousand forgotten details came back to his memory. He recalled that fashonable kirmess for the benefit of the inundated Madagascans, where, having neither rosebuds nor sachet- bags to sell, Mme de Saint Perix had offered her bare arm to be kissed at twenty-five cents a kiss. The receipts had been enormuus. He remembered the interminable walks she had taken in the country with her cousin Max; a ball where she had danced four waltzes with the same partner; a letter that she had burned, with deep emotion, some days later. All these phantoms dazed and excited him. He thought himself already the object of his friends' contemptuous pity. Was it for this that he had married a young girl just out of a convent school --timid, naive, blushing at the least word ? "Fool "that I am!" he burst out at lost, "the Countess lis an angel in her conduct and she would never--" He shrugged his shoulders and did not finish the sentence. The coupe stopped before his house. Saint-Perix entered. The gas was ex- guished, the servants had evidently one to bed. The house was wrapped in silent peace. "Evidently," said he, "I was not ex­ pected so early." And lighting a match he proceeded softly to his wife's "Who are they aad why have they those scraps pasted on them?" "They are pictures of the only girls 1 ever loved, and those clippings are their marriage notices." Au original sctome, surely.--JPftiZa- chamber, happy in the thought of .sur­ prising her in her sleep and feeling a great love for her, a shame at the ab- Burd suspicions which had left a sore spot in his heart. He crossed the ante-chamber, pushed aside the portiere of the boudoir and re- ooiled, startled, livid; as if he had seen a terrible vision. He had seen a man in the Countess' apartment--a sort of Borneo, of aristo­ cratic bearing. "So," .muttered the husband, "I was not mistaken!" He approached the man, his hands clenched, menacing, yale with anger. "Will you inform me what you are doing here, sir, in my house ?" "I have no reply to make," stammered the other. "Scoundrel! I' find von at night in my wife's apartments-- "I can say you nothing, sir. If you consider yourself aggrirved, I am at your orders*" He extended to Saint-Perix a card, which fell to the floor, and with the other hand drew from his pockct an ele­ gant little revolver, and *ealuting eave- moniously, he said: "Whenever you choose the Baron San-Leone, Hotel Bristol. It is too late to prolong the conversation--so farewell, till we meet again." And he hastened from the house without awaiting Saict-Perix's reply. The latter, stupefied, leaned with both hands upon a chair to keepTrom falling. All seemed red before his eyes. He felt that he would go mad--a terrible sense of desolation seemed to crush him down. "I shall kill him," he said at length; "as for her, I shall attend to her later." He picked up the card and hastened to the club to choose his second*, \ "A duel to the 'death," he told them, "and the sooner the better." • * « * * * The next afternoon, at four o'clock, Sherman's Idea of Brarery. When in the mood, there is no more delightful story-teller in the world than Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman. Unfortunately he is not often in the mood. But when some of his old com­ rades are about him he sometimes falls into a reminiscent mood and tells story after story of his experience in the Florida war, again in California in the days of the Argonauts, and, finally, throughout the civil war. He does not much believe iu the mad, barnrascarum, devil-may-care sort of courage. Beck- less action is sometimes costly, and prudence and courage, in the General's opinion, should go together. In 1B53, when Gen. Sherman was journeying on the side-wheel steamer Brother Jonathan, on his way to New York, Lieut. Baldwin, of the United States Navy, was the Captain. Off the ooast of Lower California Sherman was standing on the hurricane deck, when a commotion arose on the spar deck be­ low. Presently a stout man with a rope around his neck was shoved forwanJ. One of the men below shinned up the jackstaff at the bow where there win a croasjack, over which the end of the rope was passed. Every one knew what that meant It meant a hanging bee, and he was a brave man who interfered in one ol those social events.' But Capt. Bald­ win, handspike in hand, jumped to the lower deck, knocked down several of the ringleaders and ordered the others to fall back. One of the passengers said: "Captain, this man is a gambler, a rascal, a thief duly convicted, and we mean to hang him." "This is a United States ship," Capt. Baldwin retorted, "and ho violence shall be done to one of my passengers with­ out my consent. Take off that rope and I'll hear the charge." Capt. Baldwin held the mod off until his crew came to help him rescue the man. He had been guilty of the trick of raffling off a large piece of lead coated with gold by electricity, and by eelliug a large number of chances had cleared quite a sum. The winner and chief victim was a young boy, who had put up the money he was taking home to his mother, in the hope of gaining the big nngget. Capt. Baldwin had the man fairly tried. The result was that he was sen­ tenced to give up the money and to be whipped when the boat reached Nicaragua. ' Have Ton a Xnlling Iron? A young man who rejoices in the fact that, though we cannot eat unless we are hungry, we can drink when we are not thirsty, started out the other day to buy a mulling iron. He began at "the hardware stores in the Bowery. - "I would like to get a mulling iron," he said in the first place visited. "I beg pardon." said the salesman. "A mulling iron." "I will asjc the proprietor." The proprietor came forward. "Will you please tell me what a mail­ ing iron is," he said "It is an iron that is heated red hot in a fire and then used to scorch beer-- stir up the growler, you know." "N--yum! I should think it would be good, but I never heard of such a thing." At the next plaoe tbe requent vu re­ peated. "What is it for? Curling hair?* "No--heat it red hot and stir up the growler." "Whew! Good, eh? Where'd you learn that? Won't a soldering copper do?" In one only of six places visited did any one know what a mulling iron was, and that clerk said he didn't believe there was one in stock in town. In Sixth avenue two men were found who knew the iron. One said that if in stock they were, worth 25 cents each, and he would make one to order for 75 cents. So the young man went on and wststed three dollars' worth of time try­ ing to find the 25-cent iron. From Sixth avenue he went to Vesev street and thence to Fulton. Last of all he wrote to a friend, who is a Sun repor- SeiiSi iUie a Horse. : A man "with an army gun and a butcher knife went into a South Arkan­ sas newspaper office, says Opie P. Bead in the St. Louis Magaiine, the other day, and remarked to a man sitting at the table,-- "Are you the editor?" > , "No sir, I am the proprietor. Can I do anything for you?" "I wanted to see the editor." "On very particular business,?* "No, not very. I simply wanted to kill him for publishing an article about me last week. "Is your other business so pressing that you have to kill him this week?" "If its an accommodation I can wait a few days." "I wish you would, fpr I sold him a calf some time ago, and he owes five dollars on it. If you kill him now I'll never get my money." "But you could take the calf back and make what he has already paid clear of all expenses." "That's a fact,. said the proprietor, musing. "I'll send a boy after him. No; that would be taking advantage of him, aad he might not like it. Call around next week aud I'll have him here." The man left, and the newspaper man remarked to himself, "So much for disobeying my wife. She told me not to forget my pistols. If I hadn't played proprietor that fellow would have shot me with that old Yankee gun. Next week, just ab^ut the time I'm busy, the fellow will come around with lis stal­ wart field piece. If he'd only came around with an Arkansaw pistol, I wouldn't mind it, but it would be an eternal disgrace to be shot with*such a gun. After this I shall obey my wife. That woman's got horse sense, an# looks into the future like a inule." the seconds came to give an account of i ter, to see what he could do in the mat- their mission to the unhappy husband. "We presented ourselves," said one of Of them, "at the hotel indicated on the card of your Baron San-Leone. He had left by the first train in the morning." "The coward," cried Saint-Perix, "I would give a hundred thousand francs to find him again!" At this moment there was a discreet knock and the Countess' maid half opened the door. ter. The reporter visited three stores where sportsmen's goods are sold, two pawnbrokers, and one well-posted bar­ tender. The mixer of drinks sniffed when the mulling iron was mentioned. "It won't do," he said. "It's bad enough to have to sell ten cents worth of beer for seven cents without keeping irons hot to mull it. I wouldn't tell you where to get an iron if I knew, for "Madame begs that Monsieur will see | it might start a bad habit. See? Mull her for a moment," she said. fag jg played out."--New York Sun. "Very well," he replied shortly, "you may go." Scarcely had he pronunced these curt words when the Countess, her eyes red with weeping, her face pale and drawn, entered the salon. "Henri, Henri, what is the. matter with you to-day," she cried, "that you avid me and close your door to me ?" "You shall learn presently, madame, since you seem not to know," replied Saint-Perix, in measured toiics of bitter irony," "at present, as you see, my oc­ cupation pretents me from--" "But I must speak with you," she in­ terrupted quickly; "I must speak with you now. Do you know what happened in my boudoir last night ?" *'I know only too well, madame." "What! You know that while I was asleep some one broke open the sandal­ wood box in which I keep my dia­ mond- -" Saint-Perix had risen. He gasped, and seiziug the Countess' hands in his own, he repeated, anxiously "Some one broke open your box ?" "Yes, and the robber has left nothing, not even my engagement ring, that I prized so much." "Gentlemen, all is explained!" cried the Count, triumphantly; "it is a good lesson, do yon not think so ?--and one which I merited. Our San-Leone was a common sneak thief.. Well, so much the better. Your jewels, fortunately can be replaced." "And the Saint-Perixs' began a sec­ ond honeymoon which was quite as lender as the first.--[Translated from the French of liene Maizeroy. The Ouly Girl He Ever Loved. A lady who was recently visiting the rooms of a gay bachelor of this city was struck by the decoration over his sit­ ting-room mantel. A large frame was filled with photographs of girls and women, most of them pretty and all of them members of respectable society. At the bottom of each picture was pasted a newspaper clipping. "Why, Mr. Brown, what do thef mean?" asked the . astonished lady. The Wandering Jews. It is remarkable that Emin Pasha should be a, Jew by birth, and one of his rescuers--Yita Hassen--a Jew by profession, says the Jewiah Chronicle. But the presence of these Jews in equatorial Africa does not stand alone. From the time of Abraham downward the migratory instinct has been domi­ nant in the race. Mesopotamia, Canaan, Egypt, Canaan once more, Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, Canaan a third time, and then the world at large--such are the successive stages of Isreal's national migration. The Jews, indeed, have ever been the "tribe of the wandering foot." I» an age when movement from one country to another was a rare and hazardous proceeding--in the twelfth century, to wit, Benjamin of Tudela and Petachia of Batisbon traveled through a great part of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and were thereby able to make considerable additions to the world's knowledge. The second Ben­ jamin and Halevv, who explored the Falashas, may also be mentioned. The existence of Jews in out-of-the-way cor­ ners of the globe, the Felashas and Beni-Israel and the Cochin Jews has only been made possible by the migra­ tory tendency of the race. The four young men who kept last Yom Kippur in so queer, yet touching, a fashion in the wilds of South Africa, are among the latest illustiations of the tendency. No doubt the wandering instinct has been strengthened by persecutions, but now that peace and quietness are his in greater measure, the Jew still re­ tains his predilection for travel.

An old and successful merchant re­ lates the following anecdote: When I was quite an old clerk--that is, old for the years I had been clerk­ ing, though only 20 years' of Bge--I was told bv the head clerk one morn­ ing that the senior member of the firm had directed me to be sent to his resi­ dence as soon as I appeared. "The porter is to go with you," said the head clerk. Something in his face made me think that he knew what I wM "Wanted for, so I asked: "What's to pay?" "He wants you and Bill to take up and shake his carpets," was the answer, given with a peculiar smile. For a second I thought of my rights. I had hired out to be entry-clerk and book-keeper, and here I was expected to go down to the residence of the pro prietor and beat carpets! I was troubled with as much pride as the average young man of 20 possesses, and that is no small amount. I dou't remember Anything more distasteful ever offering itself to me, but I said: "All right; 1 am ready when Bill is, •We went to our task. I didn't pout, or sulk, or assume an aggrieved air, but went on my knees pulling up the carpet as cheerfully as I could. We had a day of it; tiie carpets to take up, be beaten, and then put back. The proprietor was chatty, his wife was sociable, and I made the most of my opportunity; it never harmed me I had evidence afterward that my work that day was a stepping'stone in my career, and I might almost call it one of the turning-points in my life Jewelry Clerks. » A jewelry clerk becomes so skilled in time that it becomes almost impossi­ ble to rob him. For instance, suppose you wish to purchase a diamond ring. It is not necessary in such a case for you to look at diamond necklaces; so the clerk simply places one tray of rings before you. As soon as a piece of jewelry is sold it is replaced bjr a duplicate. As each tray is filled and' the faculties of the salesman aro made acute by many years of experience, it is almost impossible to rob him. As a further test of the employes of Tiffany & Co., an account of stock is taken each morning. This is done by the salesman who has charge of a de partment. It is possible under these circumstances to discover whether or not anything i» missing half an hour after the store opens for business, Each article, be it ever so small, is en­ tered and must be accounted for. If it is sold the books show that such is the case. If, on the contrary, it has been stolen--well, then there is an investiga tion and the store detective force is set to work. The three or four quiet, unostenta­ tious gentlemen who stand idly about, sometimes with and sometimes without their hats and overcoats on, are the de­ tectives.
