A woman's voice rose, loud and shrill, from a little tumble-down cabin by a Georgia roadside. Evidently tbe person addressed had no response to m»ke, for after a little fcileace, the woman's voice rose again. "I jes' wants yoa to pack up your traps an' cl'ar out, Jasper Price! An' doan't yon nebbah show your face heah no mo' loug ez you lib and breave1 I mean jes' eackly what I eavs, an' I doan' want to tin' you heah w'en I cornea back from de spring." A moment later a short, solidly built, elderly black woman came out of the cabin, holding a tin pail in each hand, and hurried away toward a little spring, in a ravine some distance from the house. Her face was both wrathful and tear ful, and she had a worn, tired look. A flapping, old calico sunbonnet, drooping about her face, added to her dejected appearance. A few minutes after she had left the house, a black man, not much taller than the woman, but stouter and Blightly gray, came out of the cabin and walked slowly, and with an evident at tempt at dignity, down the dusty road. In one hand he carried a small bundle tied up in a faded red cotton handker chief, and in the other a cane, curiously carved, of a piece of gnarled wood. A green cotton bag was on his back, ajid within it couldlbe seen the outlines of a violin. It was Jasper Price, who had at last been stung to take this well-deserved rebuke from his wife in earnest. Jasper had been born with a con stitutional tendency toward slothfnl- ness, which his will-power was quite too weak to overcome. His vife, on the other hand, was a very industrious and energetic woman. She worked early a"tad late, providing by far the greater part of the support of their large family of children. She had provided for her husband'* wants as well, until her patience had been quite exhausted by several weeks of needless idleness on Jasper's part. There had been a most vigorous out pouring of wrath, ending with this com* inand to "Ci'ar out for good acid all!" But she did • not suppose that he would take her at her word and go. "Dar ain't no sich good iuck for me as dat," she paid, when *be returned to the cabin and fonnd that Jasper was not there. "He'll be back 'bout fiupper- time. Maybe he'll lay out ontei he gits oncommon hungry; but he'll come home den. sho' 'nough. I 'clar' if I aint a mind nebber to gin him anudder bite to eat!" She had noopportuditv to refuse him food. He did not come back to ask for it He did not come back at all; days, weeks and months passed without a word of tickings from Jasper from any quarter. His wife, kindly at heart, though overworked and worried, began to re proach herself. "She discovered in her memory traits of excellence in her hus band's character for which she had never before given him credit. "I reckon I was too ha'sli wid *iw," she said. "He come fm a lazy fambly; his daddy befo' 'im was too lazy for to draw his bief, au' some tink he died on dat 'count. I reckon Jasper's no-eount- ness was bawn in 'im, an' X done druv 'im 'way for what he couldn't help!" She found excuses to talk about him. "He was mighty wiliin' an' 'bligin* 'bout some tings," she told a neighbor. "He'd 'ten' de bahv by de hour. He'd alius car'y home de washin' I done' for de ladies in de town, an' my, couldn't he play de fiddle beautiful! Dar aint no body 'round heah dat could briug out 'Moneymusk' an' 'De Swanee Kibber' an' 'Git out'n de way, Ole Dan Tuckah* like Jasper Price could. I does miss his fiddle a-jiggitin' away out on da. po'ch ob a summer ebenin'." > For months after Jasper's departure from home a stout, travel-stained black man, slightly gray, walked slowly and wearily up the trail leading to a new and promising Rocky Mountain mining camp. He carried a little bundle tied up in a ragged red cotton handkerchief. The outlines of a violin could be traced within a green cotton bag on his back, and he gave his name, at the mouth of a shaft where he stopped to get a drink of water, as Jasper Price. "Well, old pardner," said the man who gave him tlie drink of water, "you look as if you'd walked all the way from Georgia." "l'oa done struck pretty close to de trewf, sah," said Jasper, ruefnlly. "I'se walked many weary miles ob de way, an' I'd 'a' done walked de hull ob it ef it hadn't 'a' ben for dis yer fiddle." He had heard wild stories of the ease and quickness with which fortunes were made in this mining camp, imd in his simplicity he almost expected to find nuggets of srold and silver unre garded in the streets. He found quite a different state' of things. People here had to work hard for their living aa elsewhere; only the rewards of energy and industry were perhaps larger and more prompt than in the older parts of the country. Jasper could get no farther, and presently he found himself possessed j of some share of the restless energy of j the people around^ him. His dormant 1 powers seemed to b* aroused bj the spirit of activity that was in the crisp aud exhilarating mountain air. No one could be supinely idle long in such a place as this mining camp. Jas per was soon busy with ax and saw and hammer, putting up a little cabin for himself on a corner lot he had staked out for his own. When the cabin was done, Jasper pailed a pine board over the door, on •hich was the one word, "LAWnDry." He could not read or write, but he hnd induced an acquaintance among the miners to paint his sign for him. In his spasmodic honrs of industry when at home, Jasper used to help his •wife with her daily washings and iron ings, and bad in this way acquired something of the wonderful "skill that had given her the reputation of being the finest laundress in all the country round about her home. Since Jasper did not know how to do anything else, and as there was a great demand for the one industry in which he had some skill, he had resolved to open a laundry. * His success was great and immediate. There were as yet in the camp very few women, and the prejudice against China men was so great that it was not safe for one of that race to come into the camp. Before tbe end of the first week Jasper was so overwhelmed with work that he hired a poor boy who had strayed into camp as an assistant. An other helper was needed early in the second week, and still a third before a Biouth was done. Jasper had a flourishing business, and found it necessary to enlarge his shanty. He developed a capacity for business that he himsolf had never sus pected. His industry increased with his sue cese. There was plenty of money in the camp, and it was not long before Jasper was possessed of ten times as much money as he had ever seen before. •Moreover, his head was not turned by his success. He had a queer habit of going about chuckling to himself and saying, "Imua' write a lettali one ob dese days; for fac\ I thus'. Hi! I bet hit'il be a mighty welcome lettah to de pusson what gits it, c'ase ob what '11 go 'long wid it Oh, I'se gwiue write a lettah by 'u' by, 'deed Iisl" Even-tempered as he had been in tbe midst of steadily increasing prosperity, Jasper almost lost his head when he was one day offered $5,001) for his cornet lot It was needed for a business block. So fast had the town grown, and speedy and great had been the rise in real estate, that J aper's lot had become so valuable as this in less than three months. Fearing a possible decline in values, Jasper prudently sold his lot and removed his laundry. It was then that he wrote his letter, or rather, had it written for him. Among his patrons was a young lawyer who had befriended Jasper on his first arrival in the camp, and who had taken an interest in him afterward. It was this friend to whom Jasper applied when he was ready to have the letter written, and the lawyer kept his seoret. It was about a month after the letter had been sent that the crowd which al ways assembled to await the arrival of the two stage-coaches, which came to gether from the alowly approaching line of railroad in the valleys below, noted the restlessness and peculiar actions of Mr. Jasper Price, who was by far the most prominent figure in the throng. Newly shaven and spotlessly clean, he was arrayed in a shining suit of black, and wore a glossy,high silk hat He had given a bootblack twenty-live cents for an extra shine on his large shoe*. His wide expanse of white shirt- front shone in the sunshine, and upon it was a huge breastpin of red and green glass and a gorgeous necktie of blue and yellow. On his hands were kid gloves of a saffron hue, while a watch-chain of mighty and shining links was stretched across his waistcoat front. His black face was beaming with kindly smiles, and he frequently ohnck- led softly to himself as he moved around restlessly in the crowd. His excitement grew intense when some one called out, "There they come!" and a great cloud of dust rose at one eud of the long, stony street. The second of the two coaches bore such a load as it had never before car ried. The driver, with his hand at the side of his mouth, had told the "boys" as he came up that "all Africa had broke loose." At the side of the driver sat a short, well-knit, dust-covered negro woman, with a black and -happy baby in her lap. Her face was wreathed in smiles as she looked down on the crowd, and a great responsive shout canie from her lips when Uncle Jasper called out: "Jinny! Heah I is! Doau' yoa. see me, Jinny?" From every window and door of the coach griuning black heads of all sizes and ages and in all sorts ot hats and caps aud bonnets were now thru»t with cries of "Daddy! daddy! We'a come, daddy! Heah we is, daddy!" "Hit's my fambly," cried Jasper, as he pushed bis way through the crowd. "Dem's my folks, in dat stage. Halle- looyer!" Down and out they came into his oat- stretched arms. "Glory!" he cried. "You's all heah! Heah's Jacky! An' Lotty! An' Lib- butty Ann! An' Ab'aham--laws, how dey has all/growed! An' de baby! .Bless my souf, I'd nebbah knowed dat Chile iu all dis world--he's growed so! Aindis ain't Washin'ton? How he am changed, too! An' heah's Matildy an' 'Mrntv Jane! Come an' kissyer daddy! "What! yo'aint 'feerd o' yer daddy kase he's dressed out so fine? I'se yer daddy, all de same! William Henry aint afeerd, is you', boy ? "Is yer all out? No, dar's little Mose --I hardly knowed de chile, he's got so big! Well, well, well, if dis aint de happies' day I eber see!" They made a queer procession as they walked away from the smiling crowd. Jasper led the way with the huge baby on his shoulder. His radiantly happy wife walked by his side, loaded with baskets and bundles, while the nine older children followed, each carrying a pot or a pan or a teakettle which their mother had foolishly seen fit to bring ali the way from Georgia. Fortunate days had dawned for the reunited family. ( Jasper's industry did not flag, and ho and his tbrify wife showed good sense in the use of the lit tle fortune that had come to them. When the decline of the camp's pros perity came, and the laundry business was no k>nger profitable, they went to fertile valleys below and bought a ranch, that their numerous boys and girls might be trained to habits.of in dustry.

Constant misrepresentation of Ameri can affairs that are not wholly disre garded by the English press is one of the most pitable evidences of the stub born stupidity and narrowness of the great mass of Englishmen. England is doing and producing nothing great in this age because she is incapable of honestly and studiously and compara tively looking beyond her own environ ments. She is intensely and egotisti cally insular, introspective, self-satis fied, foolishly indifferent to the activi ties, industries, development, and pro gress beyond her islaud snuggery, and as a corollary i& permitting other na tions to eclipse in every noble employ ment of the active, alert, and thinking mind. But nothing is so disturbing to the stolidity and habituated composure of the English, so irritating to the irself- complacency as American advancement Even the lapse of a century has not taught them the wisdom of Lord Chatham's prophetic words; and in their fixity of dullness they labor in the imagination that lying about this coun try or excluding information concerning it from the columns of their papers will subdue the insolent fact that Uncle Sam is now in a state of power to shake the British Lion until its teeth shoul'd rattle from its jaws. The English public is so densely ignorant of things American that nine- tenths of the people believe that bears may be shot in the mountain passes of New York City and that Indians still lurk in the forests of Chicago. Con- soious * of this lamentable sciolism of their country pert young men like Rud- yard Kipling, or like Dickens in his callow inexperience of the world, know very well that nothing is more accept able to British unintelligence than clever fictions, which, purjwrting to be the truthful deductions of actual ex perience, represent us as an outlandish people yet half barbarian. They are fooled to the top of their bent by literary tricksters and journalistic gossips and, .swallowing the humorous misinforma tion without question, account them selves educated. There is nothing half so funny as a self-assured Englishman; and he is even funnier in his native fog than when careering at breakneck speed across a continent "studying" a people. It will require another thousand years to make a typical Englishman a man of the world in the broad sense.--Inter Ocean. The Aa<toJ>on Monument. Audubon was a spUfSTlid example el the value of enthusiasm--enthusiasm of the real BOrt, which does not burn out in a few weeks or a few years, and is not to be quenched by any amount of what the world rightly calls "cold water." He was bora to do one thing, and he did it. When he had been at work f6r fifteeu or twenty years upon his studies of American birds, and had filled his port folio with about a thousand colored portraits, he was obliged to go upon a journey. His treasures were deposited, mean while, iu the warehouse of a friend, and on his return, after a few weeks' ab sence, he found that the rats had de stroyed every pictura The shock brought on a fever, which was near to proving fatal, but as soon as he recovered from it his natural buoyancy and energy reasserted them selves. He took up anew his guu and his pencil, and after three years of hard work his portfolio was again filled. Audobon died in 1851. His grave, in Trinity Cemetery, New York City, is unmarked by so niueh as a common gravestone, and tho New York Academy of Sciences has been engaged for sev eral years in raising money with which to erect a suitable monument over the spot At this time of the year, when we are all rejoicing in bluebirds, robins, ori oles, sparrows and warblers, why not overwhelm the Treasurer of the (Audo bon Monument Committee with a .\flood of small contributions? His name is Dr. N. L. Britton, and he is to be ad dressed at Columbia College, New fork City.--Youth's Companion. Kich Men of the Future. A leather merchant not generally known to be a wealthy man, died some months ago in New York. A lawsuit arose from his wiil, which distributed great legacies among a score of colleges The suit was compromised, and the legacies will be paid. Out of the estate of this unknown mil lionaire nearly four million dollars will be (riven to thirty-five colleges; half a million more will be divided between several hospitals. " ' It is impossible to estimate the good to students and the sick that these be quests ensure for years and years to eome. There is no doubt, however, that in general a rich man's money had better be given away before his death than after it. Many years may pass between the making of a fortune and the carrying out of tbe maker's wiil. Besides this useless delay there is the danger that bequests will be diverted from their in tended purpose. While a man is alive, he can see that his money is spent as he wishes. A.fter his death there is no telling what legal contentions and un- forseen difficulties may bring about Money iu itself is worth nothing. Its only value lies iu what >>ne can do with it. Many young people are going to make fortunes within the next genera tion or two. If they will devote a share of their wealth, while they can still con trol it, to the wise, generous service of their fellow-men, the value of money will be realized as never before. The Meter Stopped by s Spider's Web. The Superintendent of an electric light station gives a strange instance of the stopping of a meter and the explan ation of the trouble. On examining the meter, which was of twenty-eight capacity, aft&f a lapse of a month, in order to determine the quantity of current to be charged for, he found that the consumer, in the pres sure of business, had placed a number of small boxes around the meter, con cealing it from view. As it was desirable not to disturb them, it was suggested and agreed to that the meter be allowed to run an other mouth. At the end of the'second month, the coast being clear, the meter *was examined, and it was found that it recorded only five hours since the time of last examination. This looked suspicious, but there was no ground to believe th&tthe meter h^d been tampered with. A very close inspection revealed the fact that a spider bad spun its web around the fans so that they could not rotate under the action of the current. It appears that the screws which held the cover to the top of the instrument had not been put in, and that the spider had taken advantage of the open ing and established himself in the flosy quarters.--Chicago Times. A SAGE remark---"A little more staf fing; please,* • A Rare Find. A curious occurrence took place in the year 1840. An antiquary bought some soles from one Jay, a fishmonger in Old Hunaerford market, Yarmouth. The soles were wrapped in a large, stiff sheet of paper torn from a folio volume which stood at the fishmonger's elbow. When the purchaser unwrapped his purchase his eye caught the fisnaturos of Lauder dale, Godolphin, Ashley and Sunderland oa the large, stiff sheet of pap?,r. The wrapper was a sheet of the victualing charges for prisoners in the tower in the reign of James II. The signatures were those of his Ministers. The antiquary went back at once to Jay's shop. "That is good paper of yours," he said, assuming an air of indifference. "Yes, but toq stlff. I've got a lot of it, too. I got it from Somerset House. They had ten tons of waste paper, and I offered £7 a ton, which they took, and I have got three tons of it in the stables. The other seven they keep till I want it" All like this?" asked the antiquary, his heart in his muuth. "Pretty much," replied Jay; "all odds and ends." Jay obligingly allowed the antiquary to carry home an armful of the rubbishy papers. His head swam as he looked on accounts of the exchequer officc signed by Henry VII. and Henry VIII., ward robe accounts of Queen Anne, dividend A Ohoit with a Gun. The story published in the Toccoa Ncirx in regard to the ghost of an Indian at Tallulah Falls has created wide spread interest A gentleman writing from Battle Creek, S. C., says of the story: "I must tell you that it is so. In 1876 I hired to Col. Young to drive a team. Mr. Young told me he would give me work and seenre me ftom all dangers. It was a lovely June night, when Mr. Cartlege asked me to go with him to the fails. I told him^ 1 would. We were talking on the srfrl question, when suddenly I saw a n ..n rise to his feet with a very serious look, presenting his deadly rifle at me. As I turned I shouted 'take care of yourself, Joe!' I struck a bee line for the hotel. The sharp report of a pistol followed my good legs. I cried; I felt the ball hit; I felt the blood run down my back; but I had no time to tarry. I met Mr. Young in the yard, and after a hearty laugh he told me it wa* the ghost of the Indian that Bailey had killed, and that I was not the first one that had flonialfom there."--Atlanta Constitution.

The Govern* ment, in selling the papers to Jay. had disposed of public documents which con tained much of the history of the coun try from llcnry VII. to George IV. Tho antiquary went back to Jay. Little by little ho was acquiring the whole pile, but ho injudiciously whispered his secret about, and it became no longer a secret The Government was aroused to a sense of its loss, aud the public clamored for a < ommittee of inquiry. It was then found that the blame lay with Lord Monteagie, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and that the papers which had been sold for £70 were, at the least, worth some £3,000, but most of them had by this time been lost or mutilated, or scattered beyond redemption.--Lippincott's Muga- zlne.
