I sent a Herniation fizzing through the smoking-room of the Marathon Club by announcing my intention of passing my Christmas holidays in the i wilds of the Western Highlands of Ireland. Don't ask mo to witness your will, old boy," cried one. I can recommend you to an insurance office which holds special inducements to would-be Suicides," exclaimed another. If vou are not heard of before 1880, we will ask a paternal government to organize an exploring expedition," suggested a third. I can lend you a gray Russian over-coat you'll run a less chance of being potted in it than in your ordinary raiment," added a fourth.

111 lay a pony there's a chignon in the chimed in a fifth; and thus the iokes went flying round my devoted head, until I read aloud the contents of the following telegram which 1 had re ceived during the day "OKorrmYOBitvin.E, I "To Derry Bawn Hotel, Carrig na UolliAgue, Near Phudbeenoce. HlCNBY Grkvillk, Marathon Club, lxnioa, w. Come to this placeaa soon after receipt of thia aa POlblo. I am in a mesa. It's not money." I was fairly puzzled.

That there was a daughter of Evo in the case I entertained not the slightest particle of doubt, bat the nature of the dilemma was a source of wonderment and mystery. My cousin Geoflry had not long been gazetted to the gallant th. lie had joined his regiment at Athlone, in; which classical locality, until the receipt of his telegram, I was under the impression that he was still sojourning. Geoffry was of an "amorous com- riexion' The best dancer and the aatest the best man to flirt and fastest the best man to disconcert mat-erfamilias. Fifty men have been married for paying one-tenth less attention to a marriageable daughter than Mr.

Geoffry Greville. He was always in but the idea of matrimony never seemed to flicker across his brain: "Pshaw! I shan't marry till I'm fifty; all the old fellows get all the- young girls," was his invariable reply when remonstrated with upon the subject ot his dilly-dallying. Under ordinary circumstances I should have allowed my gay and festive kins-. man to wiggle out of his mess as best he could, but the Chetwodes, with whom I invariably; passed Christmas-tide, had elected to. remain inltome, ana i was left on the bleak shore in London, alone.

Consequently, it was rather a relief than otherwise to receive the telegram a tel egram that bespoke a most agreeable mystery. I use the word "agreeable" advisedly, on the well-known principle that there is something not utterly dis pleasing in the misfortunes of even our TJ li. oest irienas. Having connuiicu jrau-shaw, I found that the 8:25 from Euston would place me fairly en chetnin; so, ordering a nice little dinner, for which the chef the Marathon is so famous, and a part of Moet dry I gave myself up ponaermg upon mc situation, ana the role I was destined to play in the forthcoming sensation scene. On the evening of the 24th day of December, 187, at about 5 o'clock, a traveler might have been descried standing upon the steps of Daly's Hotel, in the town of Westpoat The traveler was enveloped in a massive Ulster coat, and the Ulster coat which surrounded the traveler was itself surrounded by a motley crowd, consisting of a group of mendicants in every conceivable stage of de formity, each of whom was engaged in jostling and villifying his neighbor, but all of whom were actuated by a common motive, that of delivering the frieze coated traveler of as much current coin of the realm as the generosity of his disposition, and the exigencies of the oc casion, might move him to dispossess himself The traveler was Harry Greville, and "he didn't see it." "How long will it take us to reach Carrig na Golliogue?" I asked as lighted ray cigar, preparatory to mounting the rickety-looking outside car which stood in readiness to convey me to my The roads is very heavy, yer anner," waa the evasive reply of the charioteer.

was also engaged in the process of igniting a bit o' baccy," concealed within the depths of a very short and very black "dhudheen." Divll resave sight ay Eriff Bridge ye'll see. let alone Carrig na Golliogue," observed one of my constituents in a solemn and prophetic manner. "That the snow may swalty up all navgun is me prayer, added another. Ay I wor Micky Delanev. I wudn' face that road this blessed an' holy night for less nor a goolden guinea an' a pint 0 snerrits," cried a ragged little old fellow, with a view to improving the financial prospects of the driver, even at the expense oi his own.

"Oninea, Troth, he'd be a poor-hearted crayture that would put a aacent boy off wud the likes of a guinea, such a murdherin' cowld night as this." It was in good sooth, a bad night for a journey out into the mountains. The enow was descending slowly and steadily falling noiselessly on every available ob- lect, enveloping all in a seamless shroud. The bitter blast was whistling through the gaunt and leafless trees, and the leafless trees, and the river plashed on- ward wun a dreary, milling monotony, jiauiy looging 10 me saiety or ray pocket-flask, as travelers in the olden time were wont to examine the condition of their fire-arms, jerking the collar of my Ulster tip into my hair, and putting my head over my ears, I sprang upon the car, and wrapping a rug over my knees as closely as though it was sticking-plaster, I quitted Westport amid the jeers, execrations, howls, curses and snowballs of the baffled and disappointed mendicants. Our progress was necessarily very slow, but it did not require much power of observation to discern that the horse was of that description know as a "garron," and that in addition to constitutional weakness it was endowed with a considerable amount of the well-known characteristics of the mule. It also possessed a peculiar habit of stopping without any premonitory symptoms, which produced the unpleasing effect of sending me forward with a jerk that threatened to fling me headforemost into the snow, as though I were about to take a header into a foaming plunge-bath.

Here Micky Delany paused. "Well, what became of the salmon, Micky?" The IJishop et him," was the senten tious reply. And did Father Myles get a parish Shurc yer anner." And what did you get, Mickey." "Och. I cot his blessin', and aorra much good it done me." I did not proceed with tho investigation, as I perceived that Delany did not wish to prolong it. It had ceased to snow, and the moon evinced a decided anxiety to have a peep at Micky Delany and myself.

I offered no obiection, and In a few minutes the fighting doctor's carpet-bag was transferred, a rough sort or tandem established, and the injured car placed safely inside a ditch. Dr. Finnerty. whom we picked up at a diHtance of about a mile, seemed exceed ingly well pleased with the change In his rata of traveling.

"Their conveyances here, sir, are of the most fnfavrior description, ineir horses, sir. are only fit for the knacker. The owner oueht to be hanged. The driver ought to be shot" The doctor jerked out his sentences broadside at me, and threw forward his wiry little frame at every final word Having offered him a nip" from my flask, which he tossed off with a flourish as if it were a pint bumper, and having accepted In return a pinch of snuff strong enough to blow the nd off a plate-chest. we warmed up considerably.

"It's a strango night for a drive. I'm on a strange errand, sir," observed the doctor. A case of surgery I remarked In ouirinelv. "Oho I oho!" and his laugh flew across the -snow, and I thought of Gabriel Grubb and the robbllns. "There may be surgical assistance required.

A leg may have to be amputated. A body may have to be cut open. Do yon see this box. sir?" producing as he a dark oblong box, the brass rims of which shone up like the plates upon a coffinlid. "There's a brace of sureical instruments in this box that have made holes in men's bodies before now.

Oho!" I imaeine from the shape of the box that it contains pistols, doctor." I don't say that they are. I say that they can bark and bite. They will bark before long. They will bite before long, if I get the chance." A thought flashed across me like light ning.

Let us settle the preliminaries," and Doctor Finnerty rubbed his hands briskly together, as if ho was endeavoring to flatten a bullet between his palms. "You must really enlighten mc," I said.

Here's Leenawn, sir," and the doctor alighted from the car onto the steps of tho hotel, with the agility that laughed in the teeth of gout or rheumatism. Here was pretty situation of affairs. My Cousin Geoffry involved in a duel with some elderly gentleman in whose ashes glowed their wonted fires, But why or wherefore ueonrv, with all ms careless ways, was incapable of doing a aisnonoraDie act. ui mis i icu moroucn- assured; yet that there must have been grave, painfully grave offense given to provoke this ultimatum there could be no possibility of doubt.

"Don't f7.7. tli at war. old man." cried my cousin. "Have a liquor, and you shall hear it all." I adopted his suggestion. The fact is, at a ball at Athlone last month I met one of the mont piquant, exquisite, fascinating, bewildering little Irish girls that ever planted a dainty foot upon a four-leaved shamrock.

She was stopping for a few days with some friends who reuided near the town, and in these few days I saw as much of her as I possi bly could, and in these few days I discovered that she possessed but one fault-namely, a heap of romance laid on at tho highest possible pressure. In fact, sho is a Lydia Languish, Anno Domini 187.

Of course I arranged the preliminaries, not of a duel, but of a meeting between his romantic daughter and my kinsman. Of course enioyed ourselves to our heart's content. I believo that I found the Irish whisky too much for me, but this is irrelevant.

Grain Elevators Origin and Growth of a Great Interest. One of the interesting features in the t. "rl 1 printed report oi me iew iorit a rouuee idxchingw is Ohai) jybjLc.h relates to the Handling oi gram oy tu-aui eievaiora and the growth of the demand for them.

From the statement presented it appears that the-handling of grain for export or for interior transportation and transfer, till about the year 1843, was limited to sacks and done by manual labor. It was transported on the lakes in barrels or sacks, but occasionally in bulk. In 1843. Joseph Dart, of Buffalo, first conceived the plan for handling grain uy Bieam power in transferring it from lake vessels into warehouses, and the delivery of same to canal boats. This enterprise was looked upon with doubt by the larger share of the commission merchants and carriers on the lakes and canals then doing business at Buffalo.

Bulk grain, even as late as 1847, was mostly handled at Buffalo in half barrels or by which it was taken from the hold of lake vessels, weighed by scale and hopper on the decks of canal boats, to which it was transferred. The first elevator was built at Buffalo by Mr. Joseph Dart, and had a storage capacity of bushels, and a tranHfer capacity of z.uw Dusneis per hour.

If the sweetest poet of Scotland did not live a good life, it was not his father's fault. Unquestionably Robert loved and reverenced his father, but he did not al ways follow his counsels, and this fact made the old man sad en his death bod.

One Lawyer la Paradise. Translated from the About three centuries ago a lawyer slipped into heaven under the name of his cousin, Abbe de Citeaux, who had just died in the savor of holiness. All went well for two days, and no one sus pected there was an intruder in celestial dwellings. But at the end of two days our lawyer was homesick for the court Ho was bored.

He et out, therefore, to survey the court of heaven, staring at the passers-by, as ne naa lormeriy aone in the hall of Pas Terdue, in order to place his hand on a good client. "A cause! a cause I I must have a cause said he, clenching his fists. I ant a Cause ought 1 to plead for noth ing?" But all the passers had a joyous air which hardly, denoted the preoccupations of chicanery. He was dismayed furious. All at once he espied a young woman, clothed In long, mourning robes, who, with eyes cast down, and melancholy brow, walked along, leading a child by the hand.

Victory I cried our man, making a byous gambol. Behold the cause 1 Bc- old the widow and the orphan I With a turn of his hand he adjusted his band, draped his robe elegantly, and presented himself to the widow, making one of his most amiable bows. Madame is a plaintiff," said he, in a honeyed voice. Oh you may have, madame, an confidence in 'my ability. For the rest, I have the ear of the tribunal: Have you the papers As for the jus The lady raised her eyes, and uuered cry of terror.

Mon Dicu I said she, but this man is Mons. Parlecrcux. It is a year since then, my poor child." As tho crv raised bv the widow, a great crowd gathered I they surrounded her, 1 they questioned her, they understood the truth. Immediately a general clamor resounded under the whole celestial vault. "A lawycrl thero is a lawyer in Par adise! But what is St Peter thinking of?" St.

Peter soon arrived. on the spot lie perceived his error, and commanded the intruder to leavo instantly a dwelling that was forbidden him. Mons. Parle crcux. intimidated for an instant, very quickly recovers his assurance.

He coughs, blows his nose, then extending his hand toward the auditory, ho cries: Quid? turf Quare (hiomodoi Own- Jof "You tire mc," bluntly replied tho uardian of heaven. "Go hence.

"Gentlemen, if there is in the uni- crso a place where tho law ought to be respected, it seems to mo that it is here in the sanctuary of eternal Ah, well, gentlemen, according to the law, a proprietor is not to expel a lodger without sending a summons to him by a sheriff. I want my summons, and I make my reserves." St.

Peter was moved by his reasoning. "So bo it. Let some one go aiter the sheriff to make the summons." Five or six officers immediately started in quest of a sheriff. But, after a long search, they came back without bringing with them tho said officer. Ah, well said St Peter, where is the jmpossiDie to nuu one iu uruuise "In fact, although I have never thought of it before, there has never been one admitted here.

What shall we do not to violate the law A low burst of cunning laughter re plied to him. It was Mons. Palecreux, who nearly swooned with delight on seeing the embarassment of the celestial guardian. I shall await my summons a long time," said he, making a victorious gesture. "The sheriff who will bring it to me is not yet born." et.

l'eter was taken abacs. One of his advisers whispered to him the idea of allowing a sheriff to enter Paradise for a few hours only, in order to hasten the departure of the lawyer. "That would be a bad expedient," rc- Clied he, "you do not know lawyers, lurs would find means to cavil upon the legality of the summons. Ho would plunge us into the troubled waters of the aws, and finally he would not leave us. After that I should find myself with a lawyer and a sheriff on my hands.

The first is enough." And this is how there came a lawyer in Paradise. i Ltmewater for Burns. A correspondent of the New York Sun writes to that journal, that the readiest and most useful remedy for scalds and burns is an embrocation of limewater and linseed oil. These simplo agents combined form thick, cream-like substance, which effectually excludes the air from the injured parts, and allays the innam-mation almost instantly. He mentions a case where a child fell backward into a bath-tub of boiling water, and was near ly flaved from her neck to below her hips.

Her agonies were indescribable; but her clothing being gently removed, and me lime ana on prciwrauun tuicKir 1 .1 I- 1 li 11.1.1.1.. spread over the injured suriace, she was sound asleep in five minutes. Sub- seonentlv tho parte were carefully washed witn warm miis ana water uircc vmiwn day, tho oil dressing renewed, and the little patient rapidly recovered.

Tho preparation may be kept ready bottled in tho house, and it will be as good when six months old as when first made. tho Lady Washington mine, near Virginia Uity, a blast waa arranged and the fuse lighted. Two miners got in the bucket to bo hoisted two hundred feet up the shaft, the fuso being long enough to give ample time under ordinary cir cumstances.

In this instance, however, the ascent was delayed by some dis-arraniremflnt of tho machinery, and the men wcro suspended in awful danger with no means of averting it They laid themselves in tho bottom of the bucket and awaited In terror of the explosion. It seemed like an hour," said one of them, but it was really five minutes. When the blast did explode, the bucket was lifted several feet by the rush of air, and as it fell back with a violent shock a shower of shattered rock rained on the cowering miners. They were hauled up at length Insensible with cuts and bruises, but they will recover. Thirty Chinese boys have just arrived in Springfield.
