you know; even in this scandal -loving town
not a creature can breathe an imputation
against her.
''True," replied the uncle; "but look vou
brother, the grand point in every affair in
this world is to seize the right moment; this
you have not done. It is a misfoitunc, but
let the girl go a'ong wijth me, and before
the end of tlnee months I will return her
to you as the wife of a man as young and
wealthy as herself."
Away went the niece with her nncle. On
the wav home he thus addressed her:"

my niece, a young, wealthy, childless wi
dow: vou had tlie misloitune to lose vour
husband, Colonel Lumley, after a happy
union of a quarter of a year, by a fall from
his horse, while hunting.
''But, uncle "
"Let me manage, if yon please, Mrs.
Lumley. Your lather has invested me with
full powers. Here, look you, is the wedding-ring
given you by your late husband.
Jewels, and whatever else you need, your
aunt will supply you with, and accustom
yourself to cat down your eyes."
The keen-witted uncle introduced his
niece every where, and everywhere the young
widow excited a great sensation. The
gentlemen thronged about her, and she soon
had her choice out of twentv suitors. Her
uncle advised her to accept the one that
w as deepest in love with her, and a rare
chance decreed that!this should be precisely
the most amiable and opulent. The match
was soon concluded, and one day the uncle
desired "to sav a few words to his future
neohew in private.

"How so? Are Mrs. Lumley's affection "
"Nothing of the kind; my niece is sin

"Then Uer fortune, l'snppose, is not equal
to what vou told me?"
"On the contrary, it is larger.
"Well, what is the matter, then?"
"A joke an innocent joke, which came
into my head one day when I was in a good
humor: we could iiot well recall it after

The Cathedral of Milan. It is dif
ficult by words to convey any idea of the
Cathedral of Milan, it is so vast, so com
plicated, so magnificent. - The interior is
deeply impressive: five naves, divided by
fifty-two gigantic columns, from which the
majestic arches gracefully spring to support
a roof that looks as though the clouds might
rest upon it; the vast dome lifting itself far
up towards heaven, in the dim distance of
which is a solitary lamp, so placed as to
throw all its light upon a blood-stained
pike, which the devout Catholic believes is
one of the identical nails driven into the
blessed hands of Our Lord.
So great is the area that many services
may be going on at the same time without
confusion. JiVe actually, witnessed, a marri
age at oue altar, a baptism at another, and
a funeral might have taken place at a third,
and a mass been celebrated at a fourth; and,
in addition, there was a crowd of-i wonder
ing and admiring spectators, all with abund
ant room and space j ; '
The material of the edifice is white mar
ble and it looks like a mountain of stone,
cut into a "labyrinth of spires, pinnacles,
flving buttresses and statuary; The roof
is a forest of statuary and pinnaclesit seems
to me overcrowded. Think of saven thous

Droll Duellists. One of the funniest
duels which has ever been recorded was
that in which Sainte-Beuve was engaged.
It began to rain slightly after he had taken
up his position, whereupon he cooll' held
his umbrella over his head with the left
hand while holding the pistol in his right
The expostulations of his witnesses had no
effect upon him. "It is all very well to be
killed," said the famous essayist, "but I ob-

There, is a droll story about Terpignan
a literary Bohemian, having an encounter
with Charles Maurice at five paces. The
former having fired, and contrived to miss
the other, taking a deliberate aim, said to
his antagonist "Well, now, before I send

THE MURDERED PEDDLER, i "
One of the most striking cases of pres
ence of mind and self-possession of which
I have any recollection came to light m a
trial which- took place some months since
in Ireland. The story looks like a fiction,
but I have reason to believe it quite true.
A. woman was traveling along a road to
join her husband, who was engaged as a
teamster in the army, and was quartered
some twelve miles from Athlone. She had
not proceeded far when she y as. joined by
a peddler, who was going the same way.
1 hey entered into a conversation during
a walk tsf some hours, but as the day , be-
sran to wane thev asrreed lhat they, should
stop for tlie. night at rhouse,of entertain
ment, and pursue their pedestrain journey-
tbe next day.
They reached an Jbumble inn, sitnated in
a lonely spot by the roadside, and, fatigued
after a long day s walk, they were glad to
find themselves under the shelter of a roof.
Having refreshed themselves with a sub
stantial supper set before them, they ex
pressed a wish to retire.
They were shown into the travelers room
and went to rest into their respective beds.
, The peddler, before retiring, had called
the landlord aside and given into hiskeep-

and its edges covered with a light metal
frame. Then the paste is smeared on with
a large whitewash-brush, and the sheet is
laid between two wTire racks and placed on
a pile with others to dry. Great care is
taken in the manufacture of this paste,
which is perfectly hanseless. This grati
fying fact has been conclusively proven bv
an eminent chemist. After the gumming,
another pressing in the hydraulic press
follows. Then another counting; stamps
are counted no less than thirteen times
during the process of manufacture. The
sheets are then cut in half, each portion
containing one hundred stamps, this being
done by girls with ordinarr hand-shears.
Next follows the perforation, which is per
formed by machinery. The perforation is
first made in a perpendicular line, and af
terward in a
pressing follows this time to flatten the
raised edges on the back of the stamps
made by the dies, and this ends the manufacture.
