An attempt is to be made here to secure another shipment of twenty-five pairs of prairie chickens to be released m suitable places in this locality. Friends in Manitoba believe they can secure the birds, and application will be at once made to the proper parties .there to permit the export. If only some other localities in Ontario -the Messrs. Rathbun, of Deseronto, have received two shipments -would join in the movement, and obtain a few pairs to widen the experiment, the chances of success would be greatly increased. To expect to see the birds in all localities because seven pairs were released. is.absurd.."There isno reason- able =doubt they will live and thrive here, but they rnust be introduced in sufficient numbers to give them a chance. If the expense was consider- able it might he an obstacle, but every- thing totalled up, they can be landed in any part of Ontario for 82 per pair, and the Government of Manitoba will readily grant a permit of exportation when satisfied that the birds are intend- ed for the purpose of trying to see if they cannot be successfully introduced here.

His life is devoted to his daughter," returned a sister spinster, who, at one time, had spent many hours watching the handsome Captain, but long since had adopted the prevailing opinion that Capt. Aiden would never marry again. .A few moments after the above con- versation Copt Arden entered the re- ception room) of a young ladies' somin- aryl Scarce bad he seated himself when his neck was' encircled by fond clinging arms and a sweet face pressed close to his. After returning his darling's caresses, Capt Arden looked earnestly a moment into her beautiful eyes and then asked, with great anxi- ety." "What is it, my love? Something is troubling you, Come, tell papa, what is the reason." "Oh, papa you love me better than anybody in the world, do you not ?" "Indeed I do, niv own. r' "Oh, papa. papa[ but will you always do so?" "Why, little girl, what do you mean ?" "Oh, you do not say you always will. And it is true what the girls .all say. Oh, papa . you will starry somebody, some of these days ; and then I will only have a little mite of your heart." "You silly little love. Come we will make a solemn compact. Flory. Now give me your hand. Now, I promise never to wed any woman, nor to seek to win the love of any, as long as my daughter remains true to her father. While you are with me I ask for nothing more. We will live for each other Flory. What say you? Will you pr•o- mis this too?' "Gladly, papa," Flory answered with another tond embrace. Then, with a doubtful look, she asked: "But, papa,you mean that I must not caro for any man save you! That is it, is it not?" a bright flush mounting to her fair brow; "because, papa. I love Ada Foster dearly. She was one ot my schoolmates last year. Now she is one of our teachers. Somebody must love her very much now, particularly be- cause her father is dead. That is why she stays here to teach. She is so good and wise. older than I -by nearly five years -and—" "Stop a moment, How old are you ?" "Fourteen last birthday, papa; and Ada is almost twenty." "Very well, Flory, you can love your friend Ada as much as you choose but do not lot me hear of any other love. And this voyage I shall make to sea will be the last, my child. By the time I get hack, two years hence, you will be old enough to preside over our home ; and then we will be separated no more. A few weeks more, and Captain Arden set sail on the voyage he had promised should be his last. He was a very handsome man, and entirely too young to dedicate himself to a life of celibacy. Flory's mother had been the first and only love of his youth ; and her memory was dearer still than anything in the world, save her child. So he re- mained very true to the promise made his daughter. Flory was very beautiful, and num- berless brothers and cousins of her com- panions cast admiring eyes and sought to win some sign of favor from her. But all to no avail. So when the two years had passed by, and Cape. Arden returned to his child, both, after an en- quiring glance into the other's eyes, were fnlly satisfied that no other love had entered the heart of either, It was to a home ot every comfort that Capt. Arden carried his daughter. They were very happy. Why should they not have been ? Everything contribut- ed to make them so. "It is all very well while it lasts," was the frequent remark of some of Arden's friends. "They will both tire of this before a great while." - "Why shouldthey? And what on earth can possibly mar their happi- ness?" asked another, not so well versed in the wave of the world. "What'? Tho one great power -the hearts demands. A love not to be sat- isfied by filial or parental affection ; that is what will do it," was the sage reply. However, a year passed by and no- thing happened to mar Capt. Arden's or Flory's happiness. At the end of that time a young man came, bringing a letter of introduction from his father, one of Capt. Arden's friends. This young man was not only welcomed with great cordiality, but Capt. Arden in- sisted that during his stay in the city he should become his guest. So it was that Fred Fulton was thrown in the society of Flory, a very danger- ous thing for the peace of mind of both. Any one seeing these two might know they were sure to love each other. Flory, fairy-like, with golden hair and azure eyes, as merry as a bird, had all her life a passion for black eyes and raven locks. So there was Fred, just such a hero as all blonde girls are sure to dream about. To do her justice she fought bravely against the spirit that came stealing over her and really either would have kept herself away from him or sent Fred off home had not the duties of hostess prevented. The next best thing was to get some one else to come and help to entertain her guest. Ada Foster had, a few weeks' previous to Capt. Arden's taking his daughter from school, been sent for by an aged relative to come and live with her. Thus the friends had been separated. Just then Ada's aunt died, leaving the orphan girl in possession of quite a fortune. Flory rejoiced in her friend's good luck. Now she could come to her. So she wrote to Ada begging her to come. Soon she came. But, alas I for Flora's thoughts about banishing Fred from her heart 1 Daily he grew dearer. Fred's visit was drawing near its close. A few days previous to his leaving he found Flory alone and then told her his heart's story. But, poor fellow, his hopes received a very sudden check. Flory dismissed him -solemnly declaring she should never marry. So Fred went away very miserable, and Flora's yes grew sad, Her father grew very uneasy and declared she must be ill. So to relieve her father's anxiety Flory feigned a happy mood. But somehow her efforts were of little avail. Capt. Arden's'ekes grew less frequent and his merry laugh was sel- dom beard. Even Flery's winning lit- • ttfl wa,>ra [+nil edte satisfy or make hlra happy. ' Weedy a wonderful change had comae ovale the once happy little house- hold. "What is the matter with Flory?" and "What troubles papa ?" were the thoughts which agitated the minds of both. Ada Austin was the only wise one of the three. She knew well enough what the trouble was with the captalu,as well as Flory. For how could oho mistake the devotion of Capt. Arden's manner to herself? Many times. when sudden- ly raising her eves, she had seen him gazing earnestly and admiringly on her. Then` quickly they would seek Flory, and with a sigh and a depreciat- ing look, he would leave the room. Yet Ada understood all about the trouble, and resolved to put the minds of her friends all right. Their hearts were just as they should be. One evening when out for a drive, an opportunity was presented for Ada to "open Flory's eyes," as she said to her- self. They were nearing a fine old mansion to which Flory pointed and said "What a grand old place that is 1 How I should like to own it 1" "I think it a very gloomy looking place, and would like. a honteof more cheerful aspect," replied Ada. "Well, it has a very gloomy look. Eut then there are strange folks living in it -only an old bachelor and old maid. They seldom have visitors, and only live for each other. The servants tell of their being,the saddest couple ever seen," said Flory. "I do not wonder. I've heard the story of those poor folks, each having sacrificed their heart's best love for the sake of the other I blindly thinking they should find happiness. This un- natural way of living never brings either. only disappointment and re- grets." "Oh, Ada! Can it ever become so with papa, or I?" "Flory, are you happy now, in the sacrifice you are making ?" "I may be by and by," answered Flory, trying to repress the sigh which would come nevertheless. "I think not, Flory ; neither are you making your father or poor Fred very happy. r "Ada, tell me ; what is the matter with papa? Does he suspect my heart has wandered a little from him?" "No Flory; it is not your love for Fred that is troubling your father, I'm quite sure. Have yeee never thought he, as well as you, may have taken some one else to share his love?" "Papa's heart given to another. No, no; he would not break his pledge to me—" "No more than you have with him. But von see how it is. We cannot re- gulate the impulses of.the heart. Love will wander where it chooses, and I think it is the contest against this that is causing all our trouble just now." "Our trouble, Ada? Are you un- happy, too ?" "Only --because of my dearest friends' unhappiness. " Flory had fixed her eyes very earn- estly on her friend. She continued to gaze some minutes, and then light seemed to have dawned upon her. She caught Ada's hands in hers exclaiming: "Oh, I know now ! Oh, I'm so glad ! so very, very glad, Ada ? Hush ! don't say another word ! We shall all be so hap�lyr now !" "btop ! What do you know !" asked, Ada. "That I am going to have James turn his horses' heads towards home. I want to put my arms hround papa's neck, tell him my secret and win his—'' "And betray another's Flory?" "No, no, I': a grown very wise at last." A little while after Capt. Arden sat in his library looking anything but happy, when his neck was encircled by Flory's arms, and she asked with a comical little smile : "Papa, what is the reason you and I are not just as happy as we used to be?" He drew her within his arms and said : "You are sure we are not, my dar- ling?" "Perfectly so,papa." "What -carr I do to make you so, my child?" he asked. "Papa, do we not both of us want to dissolve the compact we made years ago ?" '"My darling, what can you mean?" "Oh, papa, you know. Do not you and I want to take in new partners?" she said, breaking into a merry little laugh. As if by magic the clouds wore banished from his brow, and the happy, genial -looking man of a year, before said : ' "So this li ttlo truant heart has taken another in to crowd me out?" "No, no, papa. I love you none the I leas because 1 ve learned to love -well, just as you lovo somebody else." "And who is my rival. little one?" ` A whisper close to her father's ear, with a smiling approval from him ; and then, with a very grave look, she said : "Ada leaves us next week, papa." "No, Flory! Can you let her go?" he asked, the sad look coming back. "Yes, papa : if you will make her promise to come back and remain for- ever ? Catching her quickly and pressing her to his heart, Captain Arden went out. Flory heard him enter the drawing room. An hour after he returned and said: "She has promised. Flory. Help me thank her for making us happy." Another Crank. A recent invention is a shoe -blacking machine, guaranteed to save time and trouble. By the use of one of these con- trivances the Llan who is accustomed to clean his own shoes will no longer be compelled to exert a large amount of muscle and breath in the operation. All he will have to do is to gently turn a crank and there you are. The mere act of turning that crank first causes a small brush to moisten the blacking and distribute it over the shoe, and then fol- lows this movement up with a supple- mentary brush, which runs over that shoe and brings out a fine polish almost before you realize that the operation bas begun. The man who thought fly. ing machines could be invented has also turned a crank. The labor-eaving shoo - blacking machine will keep sloe blacks from earning nickels and will receive a black eye from the profession. -New Orleans Picayune. Some People Aro That tray.

One of the stories we thought particu- larly good. It was about a Freneb wo- man who had led a somewhat gay life. Her physician had at last told her that she could live a short time only, and the gay one immediately went to select a shroud -which sounds very Frenchy, indeed. does it not? "And what kind would mam'selle want?" asked the man dressmaker. "What would you suggest ?" said the gay one. "Style in such things is governed by the lady's position and mode of Life," he answered. "For single ladies who have led irreproachable lives, the gown should be of pure white ; for single ladies whose lives have been-ah-ahein -a trifle gay, and for married women, it should be of mauve. Which will mam'sello have ?" "Oh, white, by all means," said the gay one ppromptly ; then, after a tno- ment's reflection, "and I think you may add just a dash of mauve." "Capital," laughed the Major. "Very good," said young Audit. "Not bad," said the Old Man, "A sort of mixture of the good and bad," added the Little Woman, and the Duchess looked sharply at her and won- dered it' that were intended to be com- plimentary or otherwise. But the Lit- tle Woman was smiling sweetly. Time passed and still the Duchess re- mained with us. We knew as little as ever about her. She had rooms -or a room, perhaps -at a very good hotel ; not the swellest, but, nevertheless, ot au excellent reputation. The Major grow more and more devoted. He al- ways escorted her home from our gatherings in the Little Woman's fiat and frequently he brought her there. Whatever we may have thought ot the Duchess we grew to love the quaint old Major more and more, "I trust, madame, I am not wearing out my welcome?" he had said to the Little Woman, and she had answered: "You could not do that, Major." That was how we all telt. The Duchess had asked much the seine ques- tion concerning herself, and the Little Woman had laughed her off with a dip- lomatic., "Oh, nonsense." There had been some mention of a little game in the little flat on a certain night and the Duchess had been includ- ed in tho invitation. Wo understood that theMajor was to bring herand when lie came in, somewhat late and looking flurried,thero was a chorus of "Where's the Duchess?" The Major walked over to the open fireplace without answering. He turned his back to the cherry logs and placed his hands beneath his coat tails. "You are mysterious, Major," said the Little Woman. "I am agitated, madame; agitated - and somewhat astonished," and the Major's voice had aquaver of indignation in it. "Yes,madame, I am agitated and astonished ; not to say surprised and chagrined. "Please don't keep us in suspense," came from the Old Man. "Let's hoar the cause for your indignation." "Yes, do, Major," added the Little Woman; "we're dying to hear it." "It is nothing, madame; nothing -I should not have showed my feelings. 1 called for the Duchess to -night and the clerk told me that she had gone -de- parted -left on a traia-tnking all her belongings and leaving no massage nor trac' "Did she pay her board bill?" brutal- ly asked the Old Man. "She did, suh, she did -or rather I paid it, suh, if I'm not very much mis- taken, and if you'll pardon me making such a remark about a•uh-about one of the gentler sex, suh." "What !" we exclaimed, and the Lit- tle Woman looked menacingly at the Major. "I say I think I paid it -but I'm not male" said the crestfallen Major. "Please explain ; we have had enough of mystery," and the Little Woman's voice had a hard sound that meant busi- ness, "1 begyouh pandan a thousand. time,. madam, and youhs, suh, and youhs, miss, and youhs. To be brief ladies and gentlemen, the Duchess bah'd two hundred dollars from me yesterday, and she is several hundred moah in my debt. She told me that a delayed re- mittance had tempabra'ly embarrassed her." It took several glasses ot the punch the Old Man brewed to make the Major assume semblance of his usual cheerful- ness. He did not refer to the Duchess again, nor did any of us -until ho rose to leave, and even then he did not men- tion her name, "I trust you will forgive my agitation when I entered," said the Major, -but I assuah you, madam, I could not help it. And to think that sho seemed so good and sincere and -and noble ; yes, noble. The last tune I saw her, that was yesterday, she woah a dre>is of puhest white, without furbelows or frills, suh, and looked as good, suh, as - as my mother.

"And wasn't there even a dash ot mauve in it, Major?" asked the Little Woman, slyly. Another woman had come into our little corker of fiohemia. Wo coiled her the Duchess at first afterward we called her the Lorelei. She was a splendid looking woman, handsome to a degree, with poetry dreamy eyes that spoke, even more eloquently than her tongue. Tho Little Wofnan had met her at a tea. She had Beed very pleasant to the Little Woman and had asked if she might call, and the Little Woman had said "yes." She came one night when we were all gathered in the little fourth floor flat -the Old Man, the Artist, Molly Brown, Scoopum, Miss Lariat, Young Audit, and the rest of us -all, in fact, except the Soubrette, who was on the western circuit, and the Consul who had returned to his post. The AMajor was there, too. It was his first visit and he made a good impression. Young Audit had brought him. "There's a man that I'd like to bring around." Young Audit had said to the Little Woman. "He's an official in my department ; a dear old fellow who doesn't know a soul in town, and who is rapidly acquiring melancholia through sheer loneliness." As Young Audit had said, we found him to be a "dear old fellow," a thor- ough southern gentlemen, with quaint antibellum mannerisms and the most perfect gal lantry towar ,women, He wore an out-of-date claw crammer, while his collar was a compromise between the kind formerly worn with a stock and the present day affair. The Mayor said such nice things to the Little Wo- man that we liked him immediately. It was late when the Duchess arrived. We had not expected her. She walked into the cozy room where we gathered, attired in a gown that fitted her superb - 1y but all her gown did that -one of those aflairs "that hit you squarely be- tween the eyes," as Rudyard Kipling , says -and apologized in a charming manner for being so unconventional, "But I really could not help it," she explained. "I felt dreadfully lonely, and wondered how I would ever get through the whole length of the miser- able evening -and, then I thought of you," with a gurgling emphasis on the "you" and a ravishing smile at the Lit- tle Woman. The Major came immediately. "A most suberb woman, salt," he had con- fided to Young Audit. "Plainly a lady of refinement and culchab. She calls to mind Miss Van Alstyne, a famous New York beauty who visited Savan- nah in the '50's. I saw her there and had the honah of a quadrille with her, sub We have her counterpart hyah, soli, in this lady with whom I have had the privilege of beindmade ac wanted." It was obvious that the Duchess .had found a rare avis in the Major. She did not know how to take him at first. His grandiloquent speeches were plainly strange in her hearing, but she speedily became used to his high flown remarks and the two were quite fedendly before' the evening was over. The Old Man and Scoopum were somewhat constrained after the en- trance of the Duchess, but she soon set them at ease. 'rho Old Man's favorite briar was lying where he had left it when the caller was aanounced, on a shelf of the cabinet mantel, and the Duchess spied it. "Ah, this shows that comfort holds first place hero," she said, picking it up. "It does me good to see a man smoke a pipe. Why, it is warm vet. I tope" -to the Little Woman -"I hope that my coming has not interfered with the enjoyment of any one. Pray do not mind me 1 I am very unconventional." "We are not conventional here." said the Little Woman. "This is Liberty Hall, where the men may smoke their pipes and lounge about in comfort." Channing, said the Duchess. "Yours? May I fill it for you?" And she handed the pipe and a match to the Old Man. Scoopum drew out his well - seasoned comforter, and the Artist was not slow to follow. The Major and Young Audit lit fresh cigars. "As I said before," remarked the Little Woman, as she brought out the chafing dish, "we aro very unconven- tional here, and I trust you won't think that beer and a rabbit aro plebeian." "And as I intended.to say," . laughed the Duchess, "I am tired of'conven- tionality, and just dote on beer and rab- bit. And if any one has a cigarette to ,give me, I think I'd try one -if you don't mind." "Not in the least," was the Little Woman's answer ; "I'll try one myself." We were in the midst of a little game of domino whist -1 cent ante -when the Duchess came again. She wanted to raise the stakes, but the Little Wo- man objected, and she also interposed when the Duchess suggested poker. Then the Duchess, with a charming semblance of crnbarrasmcnt, borrowed a couple of dollars from the Major -she had forgotten her purse, you know - dreadful memory and all that sort of thing. That night the Duchess talked a great deal about "this lovely Bohe- mia," and we didn't like it at all. Praise of country is not a component part of patriotic sentiment in Bohemia. In fact, true and tried bohemians ex- press their patriotism by never mon- tioning the land of their allegiance, which is something of a paradox. The Duchess made mention of her experi- ence in other parts of Bohemia, and some things she confided in the Little Woman about gay doings in Paris did not have the pleasing effect intend- ed. With all her tact, the Duchess did not understand some things as well as she might. Tho very next day the Lit- tle Woman went to see tho lady at whose house • she had met the fair stranger, but could learn nothing there. "She was brought here by somebody," said the lady, but who that somebody is I can't remember." From remarks dropped by the Duchess one supposed she was a widow -at least she had Mrs.' on her cards -and that she was posses- sed of independent means and there our knowledge ended. The Major and the Duchess soon bo - came very good friends We saw them at the theatre on several occasions, and one night the Major gave a swell sup- per in her honor -private dining room, champagno,torrapin and all that. We thought he should have given it to the Little Woman instead -but no matter. About this time we were looking as- Icanco at the Duchess, or, to be exact, the Littio Woman was, and the rest of us, excepting the Mayor were begin- ning to do so. She continued to drop in on our little gatherings in the fourth floor fiat, despite the fact that the Little Wornan had uet•er ones called upon her. The Duchess did not appear to mind this lack of cordiality In 'the least, and it was verynoticeehle that An did net prase the ittle 'kVoman as to whys and wherefores.

Sherving• ton, who is supposed to be the practical commander of the Hova Army. This communication says that Col. Sherving• ton belongs to an excellent Scotch fam- ily. During his youth he is said to have dissipated a fortune, and subsequently, atter traveling in Franco, Spain and Algeria he is described as having broken the bank of Monte Carlo, winning about 250,000 francs. In 1878 he embarked tor South Africa, where the Zulu war was on the point of breaking out. He enlisted in a company of cavalry volunteers of which he became captain. When that corps was disbanded he went to Madagascar, where Gen. Willoughby is said to have conferred on him the rank of colonel, and where he exercised the tulictiona of chief of the staff of the Nova army. Until recently he directed a sort of firma military cadet college. He had been but a short time absent in Enland, on a leave of six months, whea ile heard of the departure of M.
