I- ; Ting-a-ling-a-liug, rang the door bell at Capt&iu Weatherby's. The captain ami his wife were sitting ia front of the coal fire in the hack parlor, Waiting until it Bhould be safe to leave, «ml seeing many queer things iu the glowing ashes. The "help"--they do not keep servants--had gone to bed, and the house Was shut up for the night. So one was expected and it was too late for etfUers, so there was a mutual start of alarm on the part of the palt when the front door bell rang in that audden way. •« ftin-a-ling-a-ling-aliug-alhig-ling! : It was really quitehostly; Mrs. Weath erlty said. "Mercy me, who is there, do you suppose?" anil the captain replied Vliike as not it's a tellygram." Then he went to the door. The wire of that indignant bell was still vibrating and the tongue itself had just stopped Wagging and yet when the captain open ed the door not a soul was visible. The aoft, light flakes of the last snow of the aeason drifted into his face, and fell cold and wet on his cheeks. Mrs. Weatherby was close behind him, and exclaimed: "Mercy me! It was nobody!" "Not even the cat," said her husband. "Old Prim can do a sight of mischief, but she can't ring door bell's. It waa aome pesky boy, I suppose, who thought he'd play smart and then run for it." "What's that on the door step?" asked Mrs. Weatherby suddenly. "It's a drift,' said the captain. "I tell you what, Mary, there'll be a nor' easter to-night, nor' east by nor' with a wind that'll make the sails rattle. It's gettiu' tip now," and he drew in his uncovered hand, and was about to shut the hall door. "There is something there Silas," said his wife, "right on the top atep. Looks TSke a bundle.' The captain peered out again. "It's right you are, my hearty. Sure as you live it's a basket," find he touched it With his foot. "Oh, it's the groceries for to-mom>w; that careless boy forgot them. No won der he ran away when he rang the bell! Fetch 'em in, Silas, and leave them in ' the back parlor to-night. Hannah will see thim first thing in the morn ing!" "Better take them into the caboose --I mean the kitchen," said the cap tain. "No; it's locked up. Put 'em on that ©hair by the door. Ugh! I'm shiverm' with the oold air," ana the good woman •at down in front of the comfortable coals again. "We've a heap to be thankful for, Mary," said the captain thoughfully; "Y-e-s, I s'pose so," sighed his wife; die was thinking just then of two little graves at Marblehead. They had been made nigh on to twenty years ago, and the vacancy in her heart aad life had never been filled. Ai that moment a queer little wailing erj rang through the zoom. T]t« fcvo started and looked at each other; "Sakaa alivel What was Mrs. Weatherby. "It came out of that baaket," said the captain; "that fool of a boy haa stowed a hand in the fo'castle--I mean a kitten," and he stalked over to it and jerked off the oover. ."By the great horn spoon!" he ex claimed as he jumped back about lour feet; "it's a baby. 'Mercy me," said lug wife; "where did it come from?" "From the does, I should say, that's what the bell rang; for. Well, I must say this is an imposition." ^Mrs. Weatherby was looking curiously into the basket; all she saw was rags, two bright, smilling eyes, and a little round head covered with dark hair--a wee bit baby, desertev and alone. "I'll go for the police," said the cap tain, angrily; "shiver my timbers if I'm going to have people starving their babies on my door step when there'f pla ces provided for them aa are destitute. The police will make short work ef it; Mary." 'They won't kill it, will they?" asked Mrs. Weatherby in a horrid tone. "Well, no, wife; that's against the law. But they'll take it where Buch waves (he meant waifs) belong. If you ain't afraid to stay alone I'll run out to the next oor- ner and fetch one. When the captain returned with the policeman he had to stop and explain the exact spot where they found the basket, how the bell had rung, etc., and so it was a half hour or more before they got into the back parlor. There Mrs. Weatherby sat with the object rolled up in a table cloth, lying in her lap and basking pon- tentedly in the rays of the fire. "Here we are, said the captain in a brisk tone. "Now Mr. Policeman, you can take the youngster off in the basket it came in, can't you?" "It's a nice boy," said the policeman, looking down on the tiny head basking in the tire light. "Girl," corrected Mrs. Weatherly. "I tell you what, Silas, I think I had better keep the baby till morning. It dou't seem exaetly Christian to let it go out in the cold to-night again." 'That'll suit me," said the policeman. "It's a good bit from here to the Fond- lin's, and it do seem at home, sir." "Yery foolish, very foolish, Mary; but have your own way; only don't let me be bothered by its cryin', that's all," said the captain as he peeped over shyly and stole a look at the "wave." The next morning at 10 o'clock the policeman was on hand for the baby, "Now, isn't it too bad," said Mrs. Weatherby, "bot the fact is jt ain't ready," and she slipped some money into the man's hand for his trouble, "I'm going to look over some things I've put away," said the poor little mother, "and give it some decent clothes to wear; Would it be too much trouble to ask you to come for it this evening?" "Certainly not, ma'am," said the offi cer. As he went out Captain Weatherby looked .up from his paper and winked at him. The officer winked back and look ed very knowingly at Mrs. Weatherby. Such a running and rummaging as there was in that house all that day! and by night the baby had quite an exten sive wardrobe ready; dressed out in the little tucked and embroidered baby gown that had been brought out and done up for it, from the stock that once had be longed to those other babies who no longer needed them, it looked like a very different baby from that in the basket. "It ain't such a bad looking wave, after all," said the captain, bending his honest red face over it and holding out a rough and rugged forefinger, which the baby instantly grasped, and laughed and cooed over it. Here's the p'liceman, mum, for the baby," said Hannah, rushing that func tionary in'. "Oh," said Mrs. Weatherby, looking greatly disappointed, "I'm not half ready yet!" "But ti'a only the baby, mum, they wants. One of the foundlingB died last night and this here one is to have itB place," said the man. "I can't help it" said Mrs. Weather by; "the child won't go till it is ready. Its clothes are not even packed up yet." "You see," laughed the captain, "my mate there will want a Saratogy trunk for that wave's clothes before she gets through with it. Say, Mr. Policeman, just sis soon as it's ready I'll send for you to come after it." "Just so, sir," answered the man "just so, I'll return to duty, and you can let me taiow when missis is ready." There was an amused twinkle in the captain's eye, when he saw how je'ieved his wife looked as the man took his de parture. All this happened a year'ago. I was reminded of it by receiving the following card, which \res sent out generally by good captaid and his wife: THB BABY. Where did you come from, baby dear? Out of the everywhere, into the here.

The great, comfortable house was full of guests, but they were mostly peo ple of the Weaflierby stamp; good, plain, sensible souls who did not go through life junketing and dancing, so they car ried into any occasion of enjoyment in which they participated an almost child ish zest. And all the ladies purred over that blessed ba]jy, and all the gentlemen button holed the captain and made him tell the story over. ^ "Found it on the door step, you say; f-o-u-n-d it on the door step? How very remarkable!" And in that very boat basket, I mean-- grounded as it were at my feet--the pret tiest wave that ever struck the shoals for me--my eyes, sir!" It was hard to recognize the baby in its pink slip and coral ornamento, but harder to recognize the basket, for it was one mass of flowers and, tied with rose pink ribbons, looked as gay as a pea cock. There waa only one thing that came near marring the perfect enjoyment of the occasion., It was when the minister, a pale, slight intellectual looking young man stepped forward to begin the cere mony in which the "wave" was to have a Christian name, and Captain Weather by called out: "Ship ahoy!" TLts good man stopped and looked per plexed. "Stow the prayer, paraon," said the As ejgkr Fartfc Wilson's wife bad given him a com mission to execute, and, although he was npt the purchasing member of the firm, site thought erlie could trust him to get her some oysters for Sunday dinner. "Now, dear," she said, "you must, you must withdraw your mind from those stupid philosophical studies and don't let the oyster man gat ahead of vou, for he'll do it if he sees the chance. Now, mind, I want three pints of bulk oysters." "How d'ye sell the oysters ?" said Wilson to the Teutonic fossil who waa bead elerk and proprietor of the oyster shop. Vordy cends by a kwart," replied the fossiL "Gimme three pinta, then." The oysters were duly dumped into his tih pail and a silver dollar handed over the counter in return. After con siderable mental figuring 40 cents were handed back in change. Another men tal calculation, this time on Wilson's part. "How's this," he exclaimed, "I want 30 cents more." Ye-es, I pelief dots so," said the German, scratching his head in u puz zled way. "No; holt on. You got dree bints, ain't it?" "Yes." "Veil, dot's 40 cents py a kwart, und dree bints is den 60 cents; ain't dot so ?" "Why, no, of course not," said Wil son. "There's four pints in a quart, ain't there? So three pints would only be 30 cents." Mine friend, you cand blay dot game on me. Ten I wend on der schule der vos only dwo binds in a kwart." "Why, you old fool," retorts Wilson, "I can prove it b / anybody. Here Brown, come in here a minute. How many pints are there'in a quart?" Eight!" exclaimed Brown, readily. Vot's de metter mit you?" asked tue vender. "Oh, Mr. Shonson, chust come auf de sthore vouce und dell de chen- tlemens how many bints vos in a kwart." "There's six," exclaimed Johnson, "either six or four. I don't just re member which." "Gott grashious!" exclaimed the ex asperated fish-monger. "You dinks I vos a geese. I glean de whole sthore mit you oud." During the racket which followed, a policeman entered, and upon being told that the oystor-man was trying to sell three pints of oysters for a quart and a half, he remarked that the new Superintendent was down on all these cheatin' hucksters, and so marched the German off to tbe calaboose, and Wil son went home triumphantly and told his wife about the man who had tried to sell oysters two pints to the quart.-- Indianapolis Scissor#. Of Interest to Smokers. A gentleman describing himself as "one of the people fond of a good ci gar," assures the New York Times that a prominent physician told him that frem the practice of cigar-makers wet ting wrapper with their saliva and biting the end of the cigar into shape a loathesome disease was spreading, and that he knew of several cases. "Some what alarmed," he continued, "I man aged to visit a number of factories. Two-thirds of the cigar-makers, I found, daub the whole end of the cigar with their saliva. Thinking that Cuban workmen might not do it, I visited places where they were employed, and found that not only did they use thair* saliva to make the wrapper stick, but that most of them, before wrapping, bit the end of the cigar into shape with their teeth. As the physician informs me that many of the cigar-makers have sore mouths from disease, it is a dan gerous as well as a beastly habit." This is horrible, if true; and we fear it is true to some extent. From per sonal observation we know that cigar- maker* in Cuba do manipulate their work with a touch of saliva. Not many of them do it, we should judge; but some do, and these nasty workmen are probably the very fellows whose mouths are the most likely to commun icate disease. Those cigars, moreover, which look the neatest at the smoking end, and are therefore the most ad mired by young smokers, probably owe their attractive symmetry to this dis gusting manipulation. Yet it is a fact that the most inveterate smokers are found among voting men who must be aware of the prevalence of this filthy practice. Almost all those who manu facture cigars, or who deal in cigars, also smoke cigars. We don't quite see how they can do it, but they do.--Buf falo Express. Martha Washington's tiarret. Let no one hereafter complain of having to live in a garret alone and without a fire. For here, with all this spacious and noble house to select from, tho widow of Washington chose a gar ret looking to the south and out upon his tomb. This is the old tomb where he was first laid to rest, and where the : fallen oak leaves are crowding in heaps now and almost filling up the low, dark doorway. 6 The garret has but one window, a small and narrow dormer window, and it is otherwise quite dark. A bottom corner of the door is cut away so that her cat might come and go at will. And this is the saddest, tenderest sight at Mount Vernon. It seems to me that I could see this lady sitting here, look ing out upon the tomb of her mighty dead, the great river sweeping fast be yond, her heart full of memory of a mighty nation's birth--waiting, w aiting, waiting. Her work was done. She had lived quite the allotted three score and ten. Her companions were in the tomb, nnrl so she chose this garret, just above the bed in which her immortal husl>and had died, as a sacred place in which to sit down and cherish her memories and wait with folded hands for the end. And so here, after a year and a half ol waiting, the angel of death found her; the hands were folded forever, and the nation mourned for ^its moth#.---Joa quin Miller at ML Vernon.

When there is much wind sand is stored up for «se when calm prevails, so the machinery is never idle.

[Corraspondenae Rochester Democrat] No city upon the American continent has a larger floating population tftian Washington. It is estimated that during the sessions of Congress *5,000 people, whose homes are in vartvis parts of this and other countries, make this city their place of residence. Bene come here, attracted by the advantages the city offers for making the acquaintance of public men; others have various claims whlc^i they wi h to present, while the great majori ty g.kther here, as the crows tiock to the car rion, for the sole purpose of getting a mors *1 at tbe public crib. The latter clasa. as a gen eral thing, originate the many schemes wt.leh terminate in vicarious bills, all of which are either d rected at the public treasury er toward that revenue which the black-mailing of <or|x>rations or private enterprises may bring. While walking down Pennsylvania avenue the ether day, I met Mr. Wi;llam M. Ashley, formerly of your city, whoso long residence here has made him unusually well acquainted with the operations of the lobbv. Having made my wants in this particular direction known, in answer to an interroga tive, Mr Ashley said: "Yes, during my residence here I have be come well acquainted with the workings of the Third Hotitc,' as it Is termed, and could tell you of numerous Jobs whkh, like the 'Heathen Chinee,' arc peculiar. "You do not regard the lobby, as a body, vicious, do you'r" "Not aeeessarily so; there are good and bad men comprising that body; yet there have been times when it must be admitted that the combined power of the 'Third House' has overrlddeu the will of the people. The bad influence of the lobby can be seen in the numerous blood-bills that are introduced at every session." "But how can these be discovered?" "Easily enough, to the person who has made the thing a study. I can detect them at a glance." "Tell me, to what bills do you refer?" "Well, take the annual gas bills, for In stance. They are introduced for the purpose of bleeding the Washington Gas Light Com pany. They usually result in an investigate lnsr committee which never amounts to any thing more than a draft upon the publie treasury for the expenses of the investiga tion. Another squeeze is the abattoir bills* as they are called. These, of course, are fought by the butchers and market men. The first attempt to force a bill of this de. scrlption was in 1877, when a prominent Washington politician offered a fabulous sum for the franchise." "Anything else in this line that you think of, Mr. Ashley?" "Yes, there's tho job to reclaim the Poto- mifc flats, which, had It become a law, would have resulted in an enormous steal. The work is now being done by the Government itself, and will rid the place of that malarial atmosph >re of which we hear so much out- Side the city."

One day my right arm and leg would torture me with pain, t'.iere would be great redness, heat, and swelling of the parts; and perhaps the next day the left arm and leg would be slmf arly atfecte l. Then again it would locate in some particular partrof my body and produce a tenderness"whicli would well nigh drive me frantic. There would be weeks at a time that 1 would be mulcted with an intermitting- kind of pain that would oome on eyery afternoon and leave me compara tively free from pain suiforing the S alaoee of the twenty-four hours. Then 1 would have terrible paroxysms of pain coming on at any time during the day or night, when 1 would be obliged to lie upon my back for hours and keep as motionless as possible. Every time I attempted to move a chilly sensation would pass over my body, or 1 would faint from hot flashes. I suffered from a spasmodic con traction of the muscles and a soreness of the' back and bowels, and even my eyeballs be came sore and distressed me greatly when ever I wiped my face. 1 became ill-tempered, peevish, fretful, iriitable, and desperately despondent." "Of course you consulted the doctors re garding your difficulty?" "Consulted them? well I should say I did. Some told me 1 had neuralgia; others that I had inflammatory rheumatism, for which there was no cure; that 1 would be allicted all my life, and that time alone would miti gate my sufferings." "But didn't they try to relieve your mis eries'/" "Yes, they vomited and, phystced me, blistered and bled me, plastered and oiled me, sweat, steamed and everything but froze me, but without avail." "But how did you Anally recover?" "lhad a filend living in Michigan who had been afflicted in a similar way and had been cured. He wrote me regarding his recovery and advised nie to try the remedy which cured hiin. 1 procured a bottle and commenced its use, taking a tablcspoonful after each meal and at bed time. I had used it about a week when 1 noticed a decrease of tho soreness of the joints and a general feeling of relief. I persevered in its use and finally got so I could move around without limping, when I told my friends that it was Warner's Safe Kbeumatic Cure that had put me on ray feet." "And do you regard your cure as per manent?" "Certainly. I haven't been so well in years as 1 am now, and although 1 have been sub jected to fts juent and serore changes ot weather this winter, I have not felt the first Intimation of the return of my rheumatic trouble." "Do you object to the publication or thla Interview, Mr. Ashley?" "Not at all, sir. I look upwi it as a daly I owe my fellow creatures to iill«\lnt<> their sufferings so far as I nm able, and nnv com munication regarding my sympioum and cure that may be scut to mo at Mil Mains avenue will receive prompt and carclul atten tion." "Judging from your recital. Mr. Ashley* there must be wonaerrul euratlve properties about this mediclneir" "Indeed, there is, sir, for no man suffered more nor longer than did 1 before this remedy gave me relief." "1V> go back to the orlgnal subject.. Mr. Ashley, I suppose you see the same familiar face about the lobby session after session 1" "No, not so much so as you might think. New laces are constantly seen and old ones disappear. The strain upon lobbyists is neo- e-sariiy very great, and when you add t<; this the demoralizing effect of late hours and m- tempe. ate habite and the tact that thev are alter found out in their steals, their disap pearance can eas 1,' be accounted for." "What proportion of these blood-bills are cuc esBlul?" "A very small percentage, sir. Notwith standing the power and influence of tbe lobby, but lew of these vicious measures pass. Were they successful it would be a sad commentary upon our system of govern ment, and would virtually annihilate one branch of it. The great majority of them are either reported adversely or smothered in committee by the watchfulness and loyalty of our Congressmen." J. E. D.
