being whoea ideals were similar to his own,
and who preferred the wealth of a true

less than himself. He had been conscious
that the Misses Egerton did not continue
their conversation with freedom when he
chanced to approach the group they graced,
and he had observed the same thing in
their oompanions-an additional circum-
spection of demeanor, eo to speak, a toudh
of new decorum, whose object seemed to be
to proteot them from any appearance of
imprudence.
It is almost as if they were afraid of

"Dear me 1 I hope there is nothing in my

He was fflo much alarmedby this dreadful
thought, that he had ever afterward ap-
proached any ,of them young ladies with a
fear and trembling which had not added
either to his comfort or their own ; con-
sequendyl his path had not been a very
•omooth one.
"1 respect the young ladiee of Blow-
• bridge," he remarked to Ootavia, that very
afternoon'. "There are some remarkable
young ladies here -very reniarkable, indeed.
They are interested in the church, and the
• oor, and the sehools, and indeed in every-
thing -which is most unselfish and
amiable.. Young ladies have usually eo
much to distract their attentions from Buell

"It I stay long enough in Slowbridge,"

church, and the poor, and the sollools.
It seemed to the curate that there had.
never been anything so delightful in the
• world as her laugh and her unusual re-
marks. She seemed to him so beautiful,
and so exhilarating, that he forgot all else
but his admiration for her. •He enjoyed
• himself so much, this afternoon, that he
was almost brillant, and exoited the
sarcastic comment of Mr. Francis Barold,
who was not enjoying himself at all.

with the Rev. Arthur Poppleton, or of con-
cealing the fact that he felt that this little
Nevada flirt was making a blunder. The

a brighter color in her cheeks than usual,
her pretty figure seemed more ereot, her

with Francis Barold as she approached the

Tictorlit'a Crown.
Queen Victoria's crown, kept with other
royal regalia under strong guard at the old
tower, and worn only on state occasions,
is one of the most costly insignias now in
existence. To begin with, there are twenty
diamonds around the circlet or head -band,
each worth 07,500 or 2150,000 for the set -
Besides them twenty there are two extra
large centre diamonds, each valued at 210,-
000, making 020,000 more ; fifty-four
mailer diamonds, placed at the angles of
the others, each valued at 0500; four oroases,
each worth 060,000, and composedof twenty-
five diamonds; four large diamonds on top
of crosses, etch having a money value of
25,000; twelve diamonds in the flenr-de-
lie, 250,000 ; eighteen smaller diamonds
contained in the same, 210,000; pearle,
diamonds, and rubies, upon arches and
circleta not metioned before, 250,000 ; also
141 small diamonds formed in roses and
inonograms 225,000; twenty-six diamonds
in upper erose, 015,500 ; two circles of
pearls about the rim of the head -piece, 215-

What E111111 Looks Lane.
Colonel H. G. Front, in the November
"Scribner," gives the followieg pen picture
of Enlin Paeha, whom he knew about
thirteen years ilgo: "In person Emin is a
slender man of mediumheight and tough
and wiry figure. He is ewarthy, with
black eyes and hair. Hie face is that of a
studious professional man, and that im-
pression is heightened by the glasses he
always wears. His attitudes and move-
ments are, however, very alert. He stands
ereot and with hie heels together, as if he
had been trained a soldier. He was always
reticent about himpelf,,s,nd his history ,was
known to 00 000 in the Soudan or the pro-
vinces of the Equator. He was supposed
to be a, Mohammedan. I am not sure that
he ever said that he was, but I am quite
sure that he ala not deny it when I knew
him. It has become known later that he is
German, of university education : but there
were many at that time who thought he
was a Turk of extraordinary acquirements.
He is certainly a man of great abilities in
many ways, and of strong character."

Red Headed Printers
The London Printer's Register asserts the
existence of an ancient aphorism to the
effect that red-haired printers are always
the fastest. The Troy Press never heard of
this natural law before but declares that
red-haired conipositors are remarkable for
their rarity. Our own observation has led
to the conclusion that the red-haired ones
lead all the others in their modest, shrink-
ing ways and religious fervor.--Buffaio
