"Any news from the case this morn ing. Mi". Hutchinson?' This question was asked by Mr. .Tohn Ilolbmok. senior member of the law firm of Hodnook Hutchinson, nne ei'rtiiin mornng. in lhi latter part nf Septonib-r, its In) entered the of lioe. His partner, Turn Hutchinson, with, out looking up f ro:n the papers he vt as res ting, answerivl in thu negative. "Well," continued tho senior niein hor of the linn, ' we must exhaust every cffnrt to find the missing ileeil. There is a letter in the morning's mail from Mr. Arnold, authorizing us to Increase the reward to live thousand dollars." "That ought to fetch it. if it id in ex istence," said Tom Hutchinson. And he threw down his papers, and he wheeled his olliee chair to face Mr. f'hnrles Wilson, aged twenty-two. with !egal aspirations, vt ho was "rea 1" ing" in the oluVo of this celebrated firm' "Wilson," he nalil, "write out anoth er advertisement, in thn Arnold ease, nnd take it around to the Ledger." "Yes fir!" ans weird the young man. And he took n sheet of paper and began to write. After awhile, he read the following, and the firm agreed that it was the proper thing: "Infokmatiom W A Ti n. - Information winit ed cf a ettrtniii parchiiifiii ilcpil. iveu hy Andrew pliarp In A roll i ul.t Arnold iiveyiui; to the naiil Arnold it certain fan-el of lainl, containing ah'iut one hundred ami thirty tive (hou-and acres, more or aitaatp I In the ttatc el Iowa, mud di-cil having tiepii given at Jlurhttt;toii.

"You'd better take it around at once," said the head of the linn. And the young nt;wi left the office to perform the errand. Messrs. Ilolhrook and Hutchinson's st nlent was a jioor young man very poor but h had a stout heart and great ambition, and although he found it a serious matter to make ends meet, he was studying very hard to perfect himself for the bar, after which auspi cious event, he felt that ail would be plain railing. lie had rosy day-dreams, sometimes, of a future, after .fame and wealth should have fallen to his share, and the central figure of these dreams wag pretty Madge Bevan, who was nearly as poor as himself, and whom he had loved ever since he was a boy at schooL " "If Itrould find the missing deed" he thought, as he hurried to the newspa per office, "all would be well. Five thousand dollars would give rie a good start in life, and I could make dear Madge happy, and lift the burden of the support ot her mother from her frail shoulders. I shall be admitted to the bar next term, and it will be pretty up-hill work at first, unless I have a reserve capital, lly-the-way," ha mut tered, aloud, "I promised Madge to take tea with them this evening."

Mrs. Jlevnn and her pretty daughter lived in an old farm house in the suburbs. Madge was employed as a copyist in a big Market Street publishing house, and she usually finished her day's work at 4 o'clock. I'ntil that hour, Charlie paced slow ly up and down tho sidewalk in front of the tali building where she worked. They walked homo together, and Charlie, of course, spoke of the miss ing deed. They amused themselves with dis cussing what they would do with the reward, supposing they should find the important document, nnd were talking in this ridiculous strain when they reached Madge's home. "Tea is ready." said Mrs. Uevan. greeting Charlie kindly, "and I've opened a jar of my home-made strawberry-jelly just for your benefit." While Mrs. Bevan poured out the tea, ho removed the cover of the jelly jar. Suddenly ho turned pain, Jus low- er jaw dropped, and he sat gaing lix- i edly at the jelly-jar like one spell- j bound. "Are you ill. Charlie?" cried Madge springing to her feet. 'You havm't come upon one nf J hose nasty black beetles?" ejaculated Mrs. Huvati. suspending the tea-pot in mid-air. "Xo, no!" gaspel Charlie, after n time. "It's nothing. I shall bo a!' right directly. It's - it's -the thousand dollars'" live j lie seized the part ol parchment that ; had covered the jelly-jar, and bending ' over it. began to decipher the written characters upon it. "'Witness thi'i, my band Andrew sharp witness!'" he muttered: and then rai.od his head and turned to Madge, who was bending over his chair, with a glad light in his blue eyes. "I've found it. denr!" he cried. "What?" "A part of tho missing deed; and now if we can trace the rest," he cried, excitedly, "our fortune's made." "Mercy on us!" gasped Madge, be ginning to cry, in her bewilderment. "Did you ever!" ejaculated Mrs. Uevan, and in her excitement she dropped the teapot to the door, smash ing it into bits. "Madge," she finally managed to say, "lie rest of the jars are in the cellar, on the swinging shelf."' Charlie dashed down tho cellar stairs, anil- there, on a shelf in the middle of tht: cellar, were two-dozen jelly-jars, lacking one, each with a piece of parch ment tied oer it for a cover "Jake them up stairs!" he ordered to Mrs. Bevan and Madge, who had followed him. And he gathered up as many of the jars as he cauld carry. When they were placed on the table he removed the covers. It was an anxious moment, and his hand trembled us he fitted the bits to gether. At hist thu thing took definite shape. Xot a line was wanting. A few of the "and whereases" anil "pro vided alsos were a tritle sticky, and a few of the words had lost a letter or two; but the main points were all there, and Charlie Wilson fairly danced with glee. "Where did you get it?" he asked, timing to Mrs. He van. "I had no idea the paper was of any value," answered that good lady, "and I selected it from a number that I found in tho attic, because it was parchment. They were there when we moved into the house, and 1 ex pect they were left by Mr. Arnold, the owner of the property, when he moved out." "Arnold " began Charlie "Yes Mr. Archibald Arnold. He owns this house and land, but the property is managed by an agent." "That explains it." said the young man. Mr. Archibald Arnold is the plaintiff in the suit." "Well, I'm glad it's found, although they were excellent covers for jelly jars. Sit down and eat your supper. PITTSBORO', Mr. Arnold won his suit, and one day paid a visit to the old homestead when Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Uevan still lived. They received the rich man very graciously, and he helped to eat sonic of tho strawberry jelly. "That paper," he said, at parting, "was worth a hundred times live thou sand dollars to me." A lew days afterward a letter was received, addressed to Mr. Charles Wilson, inclosing a very kind note and a deed to the old farm-house and the plot of ground in the center of which it stood, "given," as tho letter read, "in token of my appreciation of : the great service you have rendered me." Charlie is quite a distinguished law yer now, and every year his wife sends a jar of strawberry to Mr. Archibald Arnold. Marllia Wnsltlnsrten's (.arret. Writing about a visit to Mt. Vernon, louquin Miller says: Let no one here after 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, the widow of Washington chose a carret lookim? to the south and out upon his tomb. This is the old tomb where he was first laid to rest, and w here tho fallen oak leaves are crowding in heaps now and almost tilling up the low, dark door way. 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 tite saddest, temlerest sight at Mount Vtrnon. It seems to me that , I could see this lady silting there, look j ing out upon the tomb of her mighty i dead, the great river sweeping fast be j yond. her hear? full of memory of a ! mighty nation's birth waiting. wattingi 'waiting. Her work was done. She had lived quite the allotted three score and j ten. Her companions were in the tomb, ane so she chose this garret, just above I the bed in which her immortal husband 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 of waiting, the angel of death found her; the hands were folded forever, and the nation mourned for its mother. KflVft of Sail on the lAootl. lr. Stevens, a French physician saw a butcher killing a pig. He obsened that he stirred the blood of the animal, and added a handful of common salt to it while stirring, which made it crim son,and,the stirring being discontinued remaine, I rluid. The change of color awakened his curiosity. The butcher could give no explanation, except that it kept it from jellying and spoiling. Dr.Stevens seized a vessel, caught some of the blood, and made several experi ments by putting salt into it and found that the blackest blood was instantly changed into a bright vermilion by the use of salt. "And," said he, "here is a fact that may lead to a practical rule." He had observed, that in cases of yellow fever in the army, that the blood drawn was very black and lluid, and on adding salt it became vermilion, and it retained its freshness; whereas, putridity of the blood is one of the characteristics of yellow fever. lie therefore abandoned the usual way of treating it and gave his patients a mixture of various salts, and in a very short time reduced the mortality from fever in the Wist Indies from one in five to one in fifty. Took the Ball. "Well, dear," remarked Mrs. Smith as her husband started out for a day's fishing, "I hope you will bo successful and bring home a nice basket of trout. "Never fear," responded Smith, "if there are any trout to bo caught I am the boy to catch 'em. It's a cold day in the spring Ume when a trout gets away from me." "It is, indeed," his wife said; "and by the way, here is your pocket-book lying on the table. You musn't forget that. You can't catch trout without bait, you know." Philadelphia fall. CHATHAM CO., N.

I had an interesting chat, writes a Washington correspondent, with Mr. Crump, steward of the White House under Hayes and tlartield. Said he : ! "The position of 'ward of the White . House pns$l,r( a year, and it was( i under Hayes, a very nice position. The steward has the full charge of the White House. He is responsible for ; everything. Ho must see about the ; table, nttclid to the catering and keep ; the servants am! the house in order. ' When llaveiii d tiarlield were at its head the position was easier than now. on account of the good hours they kept. Ka-h of them had his last meal j over by i! o'clock, or a little later, and we got through dish-washing by s, so that the men could go away. f; course, I refer to ordinary days when : there were no .stale dinners. Mr. Ar- thur has his dinner between S and '. : o'clock, ami his friends often sit nt tho table until 12 and l o'clock. The hours , are all changed now. ! "Pro.--ident (iarfield was very plain 1 in his diet. lie came into the White House with dyspepsia, and he was doctoring all the time up until he was shot, lie ate no rich food and was particular about his hours, lie had breakfast at s; :0 in the morning, when ho would eat a good beefsteak and j some baked potatoes with cream poured j over them. This was a favorite dish i of (iarlic Id's, and it was one which he ! lite when he could eat nothing else. It j is delicious, and far surpasses baked , potatoes and good butter. Then Car-: field was also fond of a little nice : bacon fried to a crisp, and this with a ' few side dishes made up his breakfast- ; Dinner he ate at 3 p. in., and this meal , was much the same as his breakfast, j He always had his beefsteak, and ' neither he nor Mrs. (iarfield were big ' eaters. About 7 o'clock he had tea ; and this was a very light meal also, ; There was generally some one present 1 to dine with the family, but there was 1 no wine in the White Hi-use during j the d'arlield administration.'' ; "Tell us something ab nit Hayes." 'i'uriiigtheadiiiiiiistiationof Hayes there was wine used at only one din- ; ner, and that was at the one given to theCrand liike Alexis During their family meals there was never wine on the table nor was there any at the ; state dinners. The Hayes family were j good livers, and they were also grca ; entertainers. During the last three -months of Hayes' term there was an j average of thirty-seven at each dinner, and he always had it house full of j guests." "It costs a good ileal to run the j White House, I can tell you, and Ar- thurwiil have to have a great many; things sent in by the neighbors if he carries much of his salary away. Hayi s j had a number of friends, such as Major McKinley of Ohio and others, who had a standing invitation to be present at , his family dinner. He never set the 1 tables for less than fourteen, and they j w ere generally full. So you want to' ! know what Hayes ate?" continued Mr. ! Crump. "Well, his hours were break- j fast at s or half-past s. lunch at 1. and j dinner at t. He was a great lover of j oatmeal and grits, and we always had I these on the table as a part of the j breakfast. Then, we would have fruit I j in the season, good steak or mutton chops, buckwheat or corn cakes." 'Was Hayes much of a candy eater?" I asked. "What?" replied the steward; "why. sir, he had a ' weeter tooth than any child in America. All of the family are very fond of candy, and we always had it on the dinner-table. It was of the assorted kinds, and it w as eaten of liberally. Mr. Hayes did not like pork. He said he had had enough of it in the aru.y to do him a life-time. Mr. Hayes was a pleasant man to work for, and Mis. Hayes was one of the kindest ladies the White House ever had. 1 kept a list of all the callers upon Mrs. tiarlield, and some of those who called upon Mrs. Hayes. At one of Mrs. (iartleld's receptions Guiteau was present." "Js the position of steward a desira ole one?" "Not very at this time. The work is very hard. In addition to the cater ing and seeing that the house is kept in order, the steward has to watch the relic-hunters. It is outrageous how btrangers will cut and destroy the fur niture. We often found the carpets cut after a big reception, and it was a common thing to see a hole cut out of a lace curtain. Sometimes the chairs would be cut, and at one time a piece large enough to make a cane wan broken out of a sofa back. In the east room, just under the mantle, there are a number of little carved, gilt knobs which screw into the wood-work, and at one reception seventeen of them were stolen," JUNE 12, 1884. Water Waves from Earthquakes. In some South American earth quakes the wall of watiy raised by the first shock h is reached the almost in credible height, nf ;Iilii feet, and suc cessively smaller walls have rapidly followed to the shore in a gradual diminuendo, till at last thu undulations died away to a mere ripple. Occasion ally theso big waves have radiated out ward right across the entire facts of the Pacific, to be recorded in Japan (ac cording to Professor Milne) twenty live houry afterward, at a distance of nearly '.i.ihM miles from the original centre uf disturbance not bad time as ocean travelling goes. The Java wave not only iilVecled the entire coast of India, but ran up to Ho .glily h; lf-way to the ghats of Calcutta, and even made itself fell in the port of Aden. It was also noted in South Africa and at Mauritius. Curiously enough, the great earthquake of Lisbon produced no visible eiteet on land in England, but it jarnd and shook a'.l the rivers, lakes and canals. s that the water in thnm oscillated violently for some time from no visible external reason. Loch Loiiumd rose and fell two and a half feet with every wave for Ihe minuies; Coniston Water dashed itself wildly about as if it expected it was going to be mado into a n servoir for the supply of still infantile Manchester : and the bargees on the indalming Canal were only prevented from supposing that a steam launch bad just passed over the course by coii4ider.it ions of historical propriety (highly praiseworthy in men of their profession!, owing to the fact that steam launchis themselves had not yet begun their much objurgated existence. This curium effect is, i f course, due to the greater mobility of liquids, just as a very slight jar which won Ul not visibly affect the substance of the table will make the water in tho finger-glasses rise and fall with a slight rhythmical moth n. Indeed, it was similarly notietd at the time of lb" Lisbon catastrophe that in distant places where no other effect was pro duced, chandeliers, and even rows of tallow candles huugi p in shops, began to sway to and iro tdowiy, after the fashion of a pendulum, about tlo time when the earthquake might be ex pected to have reached their neighbor hood. The fact that they were hang ing freely from above made them easily susceptil Jo to the slightest tremor which would not otherwise have been perceptible. Ardent seis mologists might improve this hint by practicing as much as possible upon the trapeze. ' A 7 Maju:hn. A New Potato. Our cultivated potatoes are derived from Si,?tniii lulu nisnm, and wu havo new varieties of these by the dozens every year. The European journals now announce an entirely new species of Solanum with edible tubers. Sol anuin Ohroudi, so named from the person who di.scot ered it on an unin habited island at the mouth of the Kiver La Plata, in south America. This new potato has been tried at 15 rest, in the north of France, and ap pears to have qualities which may be of value when it has been improved by careful culture. Among others, it promises to be hardy, and when once established it remains in the soil from year to year. It remains to be seen if this is a desirable property. Think of a potato becoming a weed, and forcing its tubers upon us whether we wish them or not! The dwarf habit of tho vine, not exceeding a foot in height; its freedom from disease.and its hardi ness, all make it worthy of being thoroughly tested. On the other hand, the difficulty of rooting it out when once planted will make our planters cautious of it, should it be introduced among us. Keuilinp; An Hour a Day. There was a lad who, at 14. was an apprentice to a soap boiler. One of his resolutions was to read an hour a day. or at least at that rate, and he timet I himself by an old silver watch. fteft him by his uncle. He staved seven years with his master, and when he was '-1 he knew as much as the young squire. Now let us see how much time he had to read in set en years, at the race of one hour each day. It w otil I be 2,r.r5 hours, which at the rate of eight reading hours per day, would be equal to .'U0 days; equal to forty-five weeks; equal to eleven months nearly a year's reading. That time spent in treasuring up use ful knowledge would pile up a vert large store. I am .sure it is worth try ing dor. Ilegit now. Io what you can. In alter years you will look back upon the task as the most pleasant and profitable you ever per formed The Methodists have grown from Ki.tNlit members in 17H1 to ''UW.820 at tho present time.

The movement to have a separate: building put up in Washington for tht exclusive use uf the Congressional Li brary w hich is then to he railed the National Library is gaining strength each year among the congressmen, and the authorization nf tho construction of the building is only a question of time. A correspondent of the l.uitis rili i 'mu ll v-hiiy i ii't gives some inter esting facts about the condition of its present collection: Tlit present library, including the law library, ha-i shelf-room for only ;l iO,ihn) volumes. Hut it is not only because it is insufficient to accommo date the hooks, but because thespace now given to them is imperatively needed by both houses of congress for eominittee-i'ooms, thntnany congress, men formerly opposed to letting the collection go outside the cupitiil, now favor the plan for a separate struc ture. Seventy thousand books could be left in (lie center of the present li brary where there is shelf-room for that number, and the two wings, each of which is four stories in height, could be converted int between fif teen and twenty coiiiinittee-rooins of ample size for the purpose. There were in 1S twelve libraries in Europe out numbering the library of congress in the b oks up m its shelves, yet the growth of our national library has been so rapid as to have twice doubled the ntiluercial extent of the collection in fifteen years. The Host on public library alone among American collections approximates it in size, and even a little exceeds it, if we count the books contained in its blanches in the suburbsof Hn-ilon. which, however, are duplicates of the parent collection. It may bo said of tho library of congress that in the main its stores havo been selected with a view- to the highest utility, and with some general unity of plan. In addition to the books it is deem ed necessary to purchase annually, and those which come totliclibrary through the i-i-!i,i!i' system of tin- Smithso nian InsCtulion. the average number of copyright is not far from i2.",. i-n per annum, yielding a revenue in copy right fees of 'inl't. As two copies of each publication are required to be deposited in tue library as a condition of perfecting copyright, the annual re ceipts under this le a 1 amount to 41, i Mi' articles. Of this largo number, of course one-hull' are duplicates, while a very largo snare ar. not books, but musical coi'ipo.-iiiniis, engravings, ehrounx. photographs prints, maps, dramatic compositions and periodicals, I!y the const ant deposit of copyright engravings, photographs, wood-cuts, eliromos and other objects of art, the library uiut in time accumulate a large and attractive gallery of the line' arts, richly wertny of attention as represi ntiug the conditi n and prog ress of the arts of design at different periods in the I'nile.l States. Leaders and publishers of newspa pers will be interested to know that the National Library possesses over '.if hl volumes of h.iun. I newspapers, among which are some of the rarest ami most important tiles, both of tho old and the new world. It has among others a complete set of the Lom'on (iiKitti tseini-wei l.lv i, from the lirst issue of that oi'iieial journal in lnt'io to the present year - the only set in the I'nitetl states.
