MEET OU WOMAN'S LOVS: ;
. Tlicrc was n brightness, a freshWss and
ft glow about Annie Breton that won eve
rybody over to her before they wore aware
of it. It was curious to note, that every
i body agreed 'to this thing: that she was
jJiota beauty, and could not bo termed
,! pretty. Come to analyze her to measure
jt lie width U'lvvci'ii her eyes, length of her
J now, proportions of her mouth "complex-
mnHiiair really, there was not a single
-remarkable feature. What it M as that fas
cinated everybody that came near her few
icould tell. As lor Annie herself, the chief
cunrni was revealed in the fact that she
ws wholly unconscious of her .charms."
.So when Alien McDonald yonn Allen
the richest man in the county laid, his
lands, his elegant establishment and their
owner at her feet one 'afternoon in Octo
ber, on the russet -colored leaves, no one
was more surprised than Miss Breton.
.Stop! I will do her the justice to sav
that she was prepared for the evidence of
friendship; -sho had not entertained the
idea of hi making her his wife. ;
Her surprise, was transient, carefnltv
j concealed. Ho saw that the dewy bright
ness f her face w"as darkened a trifle, that
was all. With the wlf-possession and
grace of a iuceh..Mis3.iivtn asked timt

licllel to- bo content with this answer.
To Bay that the young man "was ill at
case, mortified,- would scarcely convey the
4 ruth. Ho wus ungrv with himself for
picking a refusal. "

"I see it disturbs yon. Have a care,

"1 11 1 wager you my ponies against a

lAllcn, hotly, "that I win the day."

"Done. Shake on that."
'With all mv heait, old fellow, and I
hope you'll win."
Had ho know n that he had a listener,
;nnd that tho listener was the subject of
idiscussion, he would have been less confi-
jlcnt, for in the ladies' waiting-room bc
yond Annie .Breton lifted a finger warn
;inily as sho Maneed at her friend. It
was n trying inoiuent for both. Miss Alj
(ftAn pt her handkerchief up to her lips,
Sand stifled a laugh. Again Annie'a finger,
was held up wnrnitsgly.
"Bo stilL It will; be very awkward if
they eee us here," she added. -
Luckily the operator entered at that
moment, and thus relieved them of their
suspense.- . ,
"Wo will say nothing about it," said
Annie, gravely. "At the same time, I'll
punish him."
"That! for the 1 e.;t catch, : as yon call
him. Beally, Miss Breton looked superb
Lit that moment. "As if money1 could cv-

"Mv dear," said Mh's Allston, "von and

J "There is no accounting for tastes.

It sour times happens it often happens
that a woman's chances for matrimonial
advancement are flung together, Verifying

Hours." It uaa so in Annie Breton's e?-
ipcrience. The very next morning Arthur
.ane called iit person, and proposed in a
liua.nner that proved to her that to hira the
jdccjsion was a question of . momentous im
portanco. Ho was a man of deep feeliug,
undemonstrative, but his embarrassment,
Lis very silence pleaded for him as he de
Iparted with tiro question still unsettled.
i And now Miss Breton began to chide
herself, and to marvel how sho could have

Mister! So she had not had sufficient
time. What a fool he was not to give her
plenty of time. Of course, no 'girl liked
the idea of selling herself cheap.
'My. dear Miss Breton, allow me to sav
or permit me to call yon' Annie "
.The quiet look she "navo him checked
the speech.. He hesitated a moment:
. "Yon surely do not mean perhaps' I

He" returned to San Francisco in. the fall
of 18-jlj successively engaging in the li
quor business with Col. W. C. Hotf, and
the ship chandlery business w ith Ca'pt. W.
J. Roemer. In this latter was laid, to a
certain extent, the foundation of his future i
immense wealth. In with his old j
partner and friend, J. C. Flood, he kept
the Auction' 'Lunchroom in Washington
street, and in this business he continued
for twelve years, in the mean time closelv
watching the stock market, and becoming
interested in several mines. In JSG7 the
partners gave their undivided attention to
mining, the result, of' which was that in a
few years they drew to themselves such
immense wealth that 'the name land power

vantages of aljdiabetic writing are nowhere
more conspicuously shovvu than in a large
printing office. The compositor stands
within easy reach of every character he
may have need of, and a boy can learn the
position of each letter in the case in a few
hours. It is quite another matter wher,e
each word has a distinct character, as in
China and Japan. A 'correspondent, de
scribing the ; ofTiee of a Japanese paper,
says that a full font of type comprises fit v
thousand characters, of which' three thous
and are in constant use, and for two thous
and more there are frequent -calls. The
typo is "disposed about the composing
room on racks, like those in a reading
room, and the compositors wander up and
down the aisles setting type and taking
exercise at oace. With so many charac
ters it is no wonder that Japanese proof
readers have to be men of intelligence ami
high scholarship. ;
- The impossibility of telegraphing si node-

made it practically useless for the natives
of China and Japan. To these the tele-
phono is an especial blessing, which they

A young colored girl, 'considering this a

Then the colored girl stopped not upon

but the child was not - found". Audiences
mu- t not bo disappointed, however, and so
the poor little sister was forced to array
herself for the part, 'wash oil' the tears,
and try to forget that her little brother
was b, st. But during the evenin" the
runaway was found, and the parents,.., to
relieve the little daughter's mind, took
him directly to the theater. '
The death scene of Eva was on; Topny,
thher apron on her head. cunulJln

''Hold youngNebndchad!:e7.::,r up."
Eva lay on the couch St. Clair bent

cried out, "Love! joy! peace!". and dropped
her head upon the pillow.
The scene . wjfs never more atT cting;

was so heartfelt that the audience felt sure
it was part of the play that the dying
Eva was supposed to have a vision of a
lost brother, waiting on the mystic shore
for the launching of the little life leaving
this, and many, of them no dotil.t feel
cheated to this day of a clever point by
the cutting down of Eva's death speech to

: COLOSSAL STATL'E OR XAPOLEOX I.

There exists in England a-sculptured
elligv of Napoleon I. by Canova, vi. : the

House. I he statue is nude, and. holds m
the right hand A globe surmounted by a
winged figure of Victory. T,his statue has
a brief but curious history. When the
Allies entered Paris in 181a, for the sec
ond time, Canova, who was in the train of
allied sovereigns, was extremely anxious
to know what had become of his mastcr-
inece. Baron Denon. Curator of the mu
seum of the Louvre, denied all knowledge
of the work, nor could the intendants of
the ex-imperial palaces furnish any infor
mation. One official,, however, had a hazy
recollection of the Empress Maria Lou
isa having expressed herself as eX
tremely shocked at the representation of
her august consort in so complete a state
of divestiture' from his traditional boots,
buckskins, and great gray coat. At length
the statue turned up, half unpacked, in a
lumber room at the (Jarde Malmle. 1 he
triumphs of 18il had been followed witl
terrible swiftness bv tho disasters of Mos
cow and Eeipsic, and the colossal memori
al had been wholly forgotten. Of course
it had now become the property of the
French Government. Louis Xv III., how
ever, would have none of it, and present
ed the marble to the Prince Regent. Had
Can ova's Napoleon possessed as much as
a kilt, the figure might have been retained
by royal tyf but like Hans Breitinjinn's
mermaid, it had "nodings on;" so Ceorge
IV . presented it to the Croat Duke, au
