"Nice weather?" "Splendid, indeed." " Crops growing iinelv ?" " Yes—eimldn't do better." I was sitting in a car on a "Wisconsin rnilroud, ono day, years ago, when a good-looking, plensant-spoken man came along, stoxipod at my sent, nnd the above conversation took place, tlie latter part of it after Iliad given liim part of my scat. Now, I am regarded ns a social man. I like a joke; more so then than now. On entering a. railroad ear I always looked ttliout for a talkative man, aiid then I got_ as closo to him as possiblo and drained him dry, if the journey wnslong enough. And I want to stato ono thing more, Left an orphan before I could realize tho sad event whieh made me one, I got kicked hero and cufled there, and grew up between folks, as tliey say. I ought to have had, at the timo of wliich I wnto, a pretty thorough knowledge of hnimm nature, and huve boen able to read ovil iij a man's faco if ho intended mo evil. I did not pride myself on being over sharp, but the knocking wound among straug- <as ought to havo given anyone a good experience. Well, the fiiranger and I fell into an easy ttitiu of conversation ns we rode together, and in ten minntes I bogan to enjoy Ids coinpituy. He was a woli-mndo fellow, finely dressed, nnd wore a, line watch, and a simon-pure diamond ring. I never saw a man who could talk so easy and so pleasantly. Ifc seemed that lie had but to open Jus month, uud Iho I* had traveled in tiloSoiltli; bo luid he. I had heard the roar of the Pacific; he knew all nliout it, I had beon up in a balloon, dowu in a mine, been blown up, _smiuihe<l up nud repaired again and ugniu; my now friend had experienced Jill these things, nud was wishing for something ot a. more Mnrtling nature. Wo agreed on politics, neither had any religion, mid I had never met Mich a railroad companion. Did you ever meet a man who, though a stranger to yon ten minutes before, could wrest from you your secrets -which you had sworn to yourself not to reveal? Well, he was such a man. It was not long before he commenced asking me questions. He did not seem to try to (piiz or draw me ont, bnt he asked'me questions in such a sly, roundabout way that, before I knew it, I was giving him my history. 'I was at thnt tune just on the point of being admitted to the bar of Wisconsin as a student of Law Ar Law, of Briefville. The linn were old lawyers with.a lucrative practice, and it had been talked ovor that in about n month I should be tho " Co." of the firm. A yem* before, a farmer named Preston, down about four miles from Grafton, died, and his matters had been put into the hands of Law & Law for settlement. Preston had died rich. He had money in bank, railroad stock and mortgages, etc., nnd everything was settled up to tho satisfaction of the relict and fatherless. About a year beforo his death, being pinched for money, nud not wishing to sell anything at a sacrifice, Preston had given a mortgage on liis farm for $3,000. While the papers reiki "for ono year from date," thero wns a verbal agreement that it should be lifted any day that Preston desired. A month after, when, having the funds to clear off tho paper, the " old money bags" holding it refused to discharge, wishing to secure his interest for ayeaiv I-was on. my way to leam tho dato of expiratipfi. A fare among my offico papers had destroyed the memoranda, nntl t must go down and get the date froin old Grip, who lived south of Grafton about livo miles. 'I'he. straiiger pumped all this out of mo in about ten minutes, and jet I never once suspected ^he was receiving any information. «, .«laai not positive," he added, "but I nm pretty sure tho. time is the 13th, wliich would be Tuesday nest." y And then yonr folks -will send down tho money and discharge thc mortgage, of course?" lie queried. " Oh, yes, I shall most likely bring it down," I replied, audit never occurred to me bow imprudent I was. Ho turned the conversation into other channels, and did not once attempt io pump mo further. We got to Grafton at 10:50, and, to my great surprise, lie announced that lie was to stop in town on business for a fow days. I had not asked liis name or avocation, while ho knew everything about me. Wo went to the. hotel, had dinner, nnd then I secured a lively team and drove out, getting tlirough with business so that 1 was back to take tho 3:20 express east. My friond Was on the porch of the hotel as ,t drove up, carrying tho same honest, dignified faco. '' Well, did you find out ? " bo inquired, in his pleasant way. "Yes, it was on the Kith, as I expected, "I replied. We had lunch together, and when wo shook hands and parted I had no moro idea of evor meeting bim again tlmU I hod of knowing ^ou. In fact, he told me tliat ho should sail for England within a week or ten days, and should not return to America. At parting ho gave ine his card. It wa? a modest piece of paste- board, and bare the name of "Georgo Ealeigh," in old English script. Everything-afc the office went on as ustmly and this 33th camo ai length. Law & Law bad arwui td with me to go down with the moiioy, aad I looked upon it »s p, business of fcagjiecial importance, "Wo know yon are all right," remarked tlio senior partner, asi wn« about to go; "but I want to give you a word of warning, nevertheless. Don't take any strangers into your confidence until you havo passed out the money, atid look out who site nest to you." It was something new for him to caution mo, and I could not but wonder at it j but in tho bustle of gettiug aboard the train I forgot what he had snid. Ordinary prudence had induced mo to placo tho money, whieh was all iu bank bills and divided into three packages, under my shirt and itext to my skin, whero tho deft hand of iv i>iokpocket coidd not reach it. Interested in a newspaper, time ilew by as the train flew past, and at lengfh tlie hoarse voice of tho brakeman warned mo that I had reached Grafton. I bad leaped cloini nut! -wns ijjuking for tlio livery stable when I hoard a familial* voice, <uid lookod 'up to soe Ealeigh. Ho was seated in a buggy, and had seemingly waited for me to come in, "Don't express your surprise," ho began, as I stopped at the wheel, "I did intend to go away; I changed my mind, and liko this section so well that I am going out to-day to look ut a farm with a -view of purchasing—come, ride up to tho hotel." We rode up, ordered lunch, and, while wo were discussing it, Mr, Kaleigh discovered that tho farm ho was gomg to seo was just beyond that of old Grip's. How fortunate! I could Milo out witii him, seo tho farm, return in his company, and he was greatly pleased. I was also pleased, If any ono bad told me ns we got into the buggy that George Knleigh meant to return with my money in his pocket and my blood upon his bands I should have believed bun a lunatic j and yet George Raleigh had planned to do that very thing. It was a lovely day iu June, and tho cool breeze and the sight of meadows mid green groves made my heart grow larger. My companion was very talkative, but he didn't even hint at my errand. He talked as far away as he could. "OhJ excuse me!" he exclaimed, after we luwl passed a mile beyond the village, and were, among tho farm-' houses. "I should havo offered you' this before." He drew from hia x>ocket a small flask- of wine aud handed it to me._ Nov, I was temperate in regard to drinks. Iu fact, I detested lhe sight nnd smell of anything intoxicating. But I had not tho moral courago to tell him so, and hand back tho flask undisturbed, I feared to offend him, and so I drank, porhaps, threo good swallows. Ho culled my attention to tho woods on the left fts he received back tho flask, aud, when I looked around again, ha was just removing it from his mouth, ns if he had drunk heartily. In about fivo minutes I began to feel queer. The fence along the road seemed to grow higher and the trees giow*- Inrger; something oame to my ears that tito rtiltlo of a buggy sounded a long way off. ' 's wax. going to bo nick r'I exclaimed, holding ou to the seat with all inymijjM,,- "Yon do look strange," ho replied, with a snaky smilo stealing over biW rod stains around hev mouth mid on tho littlo hand resting ou tho rail, and I know that slio was some farmer's child search* ingfovsfrawborrieti. leouldnot warnlier of her danger, aud I foared that sho would bo seen or heard. While Ealeigh was tying tho last knot I wiukedat tho littlo girl as hard as I could, hoping that she would move away. But sho did uot go. "Well, now for tho money," said Bftloigh, nud ho began searching my pockets. He went from ono to the other, removing all the articles; felt down my boot-leg, and thon finally passod his bund over my bosom, nntl found the money. "Ha! hero it is!" ho exclaimed, drawing out tho package. I don't hardly believe that old Grip will seo any of this to-dfty." Ho sat -down near my head, uadicl tlio package, and was cool enough to go at it to count the money. As he commoneed the littlo girl waved herhandatme. My heart went thumping, fori expected tliat sho would utter a word or shout; but she sank down from sight, and I caught a gleam of her frock as she passed through the grass. "You see, my yonng friend," remarked Ealeigh, as ho drew off one of his boots and deposited some of tho bills in it, "there's nothing like transacting business as it should ho transacted. Some men would have shot or stabbed you, but it's only the apprentices who do such work. All the real gentlemen of our colling do business as gentlemen should." Ho drew off the other boot, aud placed j somo "fifties" and "twenties" in it, and then continued ; | l,fa modesty and diffidence that tk_ " Iiiavo it all planned out bow to deal story is unrecorded.

The pain in my head wns not so violent, and I wus not so badly affected when opening my eyes, I had settled inlo a sort of dumb stupor, with a brain so benumbed that I had to say to myself: " This is a tree, that is a stump," etc., before I could make sure I was not wrong. Half a mile down the road after we struck the forest, nud then Raleigh turned tho horse iato a blind road lending back into tho woods. I could not understand what be intended. I tried to grapple witb tho question, but could not solve it. "Well, here we are!" exclaimed Raleigh, when we had reached a point forty rods from the main road. He stopped the horse, got out nnd hitched him, and thenerune x-oxmd to the wheel. "You dou'tfeel just right, but I guess you will be better soon," ho remarked. " Como, letme help you down." He reached up his arms, and Hot go tho seat aud fell into them. It seemed to mo as if I weighed a ton, but he carried mo along without au effort, and laid me_down witltin about a rod of a fence, whieh ran along on one side of an old pasture. Jusfc now I began to get a little better. The effects of tbe drug wore wearing oil", and I got a fnir suspicion that something unusual had happened. Bufc I was powerless to movo a limb; tlie sensation was like that when your foot goes to sleep. " Can you speak ?" inquired Raleigh, bending over mo; "beeaiiso if you can it wil^savo mo somo trouble. I want to know just whero yon have stored away that monoy." Now I began to realize my situation. His face looked natural again, and tho load Was off my tongue, I also felt fchafc I could move my fingers n little. " Georgo Raleigh! nro you goitig to rob mo ?" I asked, finding my voice nt hist. " Well, somo folks iMighfc call it 'robbing,' but wo dress up tho term wlittle by calling it tho only correct financial way of equalizing the floating currency, so that each ono is provided for and no one left out." " You shan't have tho money. I will die firsfc J" I yelled, rising a littlo. "Ab,Igoo—didn't take quite enough," ho coolly remarked. '' Well, I have provided for this." He went to tho buggy, procured ropes and a gag, and kneeled down beside me. I had but littlo strength yot, and he conquered mo iu a moment. Lying on my right side, looking toward tho fence, he tied my hands behind mo, and then forced the gag into my month. " Thero, now. You seo yoii nro nicely fixed up, aud all becauso yon acted like a fool, iustead of a sensible young lawyer, soon to bo admitted to the bar." While he was speaking, indeed while he w«s tying me, I hod caught sight of tha white face of a littlo girl looking ai us from between the rails of the fence. I could see lier great blue eyes, and know, thafc she wits frightened. There were teeth, whtn I caught soft step, the crash of a j club, and Raleigh rolled off my body, j He tried to leap up, but three'or four i farmers struck him down, nnd one of the f blows rendered liim senseless.- Before j lie came to I was free of ropes and gag, and we had liim securely bound. j Over beyond tho pasture n former aud his hands were raking hav.

In full sunlight, when tlie interior of the large hollow of the crater is no longer in shadow, the spoon-shaped hollow may still bo seen as a gray spot.

Thero is one curious fact, however, which would seom to indicate that a mountain of smoko has nt ouo timo boon se&fl on tho moon.

Tho rojiort of tho minority of the Sonato eominitteo charged with the investigation of -the practice of making political assessments is an interesting and entertaining document. It is very clearly shown that the roport of the majority is partisan and disingenuous in character. 2Tor example, tho rexwrt of the majority cited the ease of n clerk iu ono of tho departments who refused to coutributo to a Republican clectionfnnd, and whoso salary was( subsequently cut down. Tho impression sought to be conveyed fa thai this was done in order to punish, the refractory employe, whereas tlio fact is that tlie wholo business was managed by n. DemocratioHoiise of Representatives. i Tho report of tho minorify of tho committeo effectually disposes of tho hypocritical pretensions of tho Democratic majority.

The following advice as to administering food to tlio Biek deserves tho attention of nurses and of all who are called upon to look after nervous pa- t tieiifs: ; It is a great mistake to havo largo i quantities of fruit, biscuits, etc., lying j about a sick-room. A very few grapes, nn orange peeled nud divided, and two or three milk or j water biscuits nre quite enough to have . displayed at ono time, I The. same may be said of food. j I have often been pained, when visiting some of my sick pensioner-*, to see j tlieir friends, with well-meant but mistaken kindness, bring large basinfuls of horrible compounds, which they dignify with the name of gruel, or sago, or tapioca, as the case maybe. The mere sight of the food seemed to set them against it. Whereas, if a little care had beeu bestowed upou its preparation, and a small cupful provided inst-. ad uf the large quantity I name, they probably woidd have partaken of it with pleasure. .Another error, committed with the best of intentions, is to keep asking the patients what they woidd like, if they coidd take tliis thing or the other. The .sickened, wearied expression I have often seen flit over the faces of people who are recovering from a lingering illness, when their officious relatives come teasing them as to their requirements I During the lingering illness of a dear relative, I verily believe wo made her often ent, just by providing dainty morsels of food, displaying them temptingly arranged, and taking them to her bedside quito unexpectedly. If sho had been asked eould sho eat anything, I feel confident the answer would have inevitably been: "No; thanks. I don't feel at all inclined to eat." A very simple and expeditious Way of cooking n. littlo bit of chicken or fish is to butter a paper thickly, place the food to bo cooked within the paper, and pluco it on tho gridiron over a clear firo. A very short time suffices to cook it thoroughly, and I havo offeu found that to be eaten when all other modes of involid cookery havo been tried iu vaiu.
