All the seats on Dot sides of the field were full, and in- side the ropes was a straggling line of white and crimson looking like great squatting ducks. At tho moment when mi story begins, every one in tiers of seats had risen hastily his feet and was vigorously clap and stamping, as he is eyes to follow the back that sprinted with the through tho dusty glare. Ever the substitutes had got up were running along the edge the field half doubled up. Th bottom row forgot to cry in and in tho an invasive small boy escapee from the pursuit of a desultory policeman. While tho interest was thus its height, a sudden lull came it the applause of one section Feats. Some people deliberately stopped cheering, others pause to see what could attracting at- from such football; all fell repaid for their momentary ab The two women had caused this stir of silence walked slowly before tho tors. One of them was such a person as we read about and some- times see. Tall, largely and well formed, and gracefully dignified, wore well-fitting, fashionable gown which was striking in and color it escaped being loud. The other woman was dressed with equal taste but more and looked older than the first, By tho time the two had found seats tho touchdown was made. Everybody was sitting, and as the goal was kicked the flame of went out in a quick blaze sound. Then everyone was lean forward to look at tho strange arrivals, whore they sat apparently unconscious of tho- effect of appearance. Henri Sherwood, a freshman, who sat behind them, spoke idly to a sophomore that no did you please tell mo she The sophomore half turned hit head and said in a low, Madame The freshman knew the name He had read it in the papers, on the fences, and had heard it everywhere. It was a popular name of a successful woman, one of the few women of the day who had enough mind and soul to play Shakespeare. Ho looked at her keenly and decided to see her act that night. A short time after this the half was over. People got up and went down on the ground and walked about. Henri Sherwood stepped down from his place stood for a moment looking him. Some one touched him on tho shoulder and Henry The two fellows moved off to- and Sherwood did not the quick, wondering glance that Madame gave him as he mixed with the crowd, although he had been staring at her a minute before. She spoke in a low tone to her companion, and the two women walked a little way among the people, but they soon reseated themselves, and waited for the second halt. Sherwood did not see them again during the game. There is, however, no doubt but that they saw him, for about G that evening Dick Roberts went into Henri's room and do you know, Henry, that was talking about you I heard her say to the other yes, I'm it was Henry talks with a kind of an accent. And then she caught sight of you and pointed out, and got as ex- cited as the deviL Do any of your folks know said Henri, striving hard to calm, but should think there is up. That woman is my I believe that for a minute Dick thought that Henri was out of his senses, for ho could see that there was no joke, but Henri soon con- him of the truth of what ho said. He showed him a note from Madame that he had found in his room after the game, and he told him the story of his parents. It is too common a story to be of tho mar- pair that cannot love, cannot even endure each longer, so that some plea is found and the bond is dissolved. In this case were unique the wife had been a young French woman, beautiful and accomplished, but inexperienced; her only child had been taken from her, she had de- parted from an inhospitable land, out where she had gone no one had cared to know. Henri could not remember his mother, but he had clung superstitiously to the name she had given him, and would never English its spell- which was all he could do to show an inborn love for an known parent. His father had died years ago, and he had brought up by his aunts and hit uncles. This is the story of which now excitedly recounted the main points. He was a fellow some romance, and had been used to worship his mother as he her to be out very tore him to speak of affects. Now, however, ho surely had no reason to be reticent The mother was found. Joy at the idea opened his heart and his mouth, and he poured out to his friend his happiness and hit pride. He gave Roberts the note read, and watched him with unconquerable smile of delight while he read it. The diction was not of that cold formality that a woman naturally uses in writing a strange young man. The Eng was good, but had one or European turns of expression, and the warmth of the style seemed exotic. Although the was involved, the note certainly presaged a joyful reunion of long sundered ties; this was not put in so poetical a form as to cause the request that came last to be an anti-climax. Madame wished Sherwood to call the next afternoon at the Hotel When Roberts finished reading, he said, let me late you old man. You ought to be a happy Henri not many women on the stage a man could take for a mother and be proud The next day Henri went to the and was taken to Madame private parlor and told to wait a few minutes. He sat during these minutes in a state of tremulous excitement, fay- to be calm, and vet asking himself why he should be so.

To me that knows how long and earnestly tho mother has hoped and prayed to see her dear child this I know as no one else is like an answer to the prayer.

She is tho the of women and tho most patient.

Such is fine costume she wears continually, never altering it, not even for the street, when, however, the addition of a hat becomes necessary. HOUSE AND HOME.

Some of the Curiosities That Inhabit the Extreme Depths The Hermit Crab's Haunts Miles Below the Surface. So recently as twenty ye ago, it was generally supposed that tho extreme depths of the ocean wore destitute of animal life. Since then it has over and over again been practically demonstrated that neither the absolute darkness nor tho low temperature, nor the pressure in those mysterious abysses, has boon sufficient to vent life from flourishing there as luxuriantly as elsewhere. Fish, worms, sponges, and microscopic organisms, are as numerous and varied in the deep waters as in tho shallow and oven so. Of a single order only as many as families and species boon discovered in the depths of the Pacific Ocean alone. Tho explorations of the warship Challenger, 1872-70, and of the German frigate Gazelle, 1874-70, introduced us to an entirely new world; and in this new world no class of aborigines is more interest- and curious than tho that sub-class of crustaceans which tho lobsters, tho and the crabs.

A kindred curiosity is tho hard- bodied lobster, a whoso feelers unusually short, but whoso first pair of which bear the groat monstrously long. This no doubt, lives at the bottom of some narrow rocky cleft, or buries himself in the mud where his mies cannot reach him, and, brandishing his long pincers, waits until his luckless prey with- in his grasp.

The Empress Augusta's Extravagance It is not generally known that the German Empress, in spite of her many excellent qualities, is very extravagant and owes large sums of money to many of the Berlin tradesmen, one firm alone having a bill of marks, or against Her Majesty. Tho Empress never wears a dress, a mantle or bonnet the second time in public and every- thing that buys is of the very best. It is all the more surprising when it is recollected how ex- simple her surroundings were her marriage to Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, and even after her marriage, until her band succeeded to the Empire.

It plied a rebuke to the house that in five minutes it had to take what it had so imprudently done. Tho time comes to consider the folly of having to reconsider. He would call a halt. The committee considered the bill and pronounced against it because of features in it. There was no politics in it. He hoped it would go to the table. Mr. Kitchin said he was asked to introduce the bill. He thought little about it, but lie agrees with the features of the bill. He had the of Congress in the freedom a little fun sometimes.

At a cabinet this wees Secretaries Foster and Tracy took high and patriotic ground in of the issue of bonds to in- crease the gold reserve, arguing that it was neither right nor just for this administration to turn the Treasury over to the Democrats in a condition; but Mr. Harrison and the other members of his cabinet took a narrow, par- view of the matter and re- fused to sanction an issue of bonds It is conceded that Secretary has the authority under the law of 1875 to issue bonds, but it is not believed that he will use it as long as Mr. Harrison opposes it, although personally be is in favor of it. There is to be a big fight made in the House against the Sundry Civil appropriations bill, passed by the Senate this week, because of the Sherman amendment there- to, authorizing tho Secretary of the Treasury to issue per cent, five years bonds, for gold to increase the Treasury reserve- The fight is to be made by the populists and some of free- coinage Democrats, and if it results in the defeat of the bill, as many think probable, an extra session will necessarily have to be called. The first convention of the Bimetallic League of America, a free-coinage organization, was held here this week- It was large- attended, all of the most populists and a number of Democrats taking part therein. The first all-night session of the House during the present session was held this week, it was Drought about by filibustering against the bill providing for the use of automatic car couplers by all interstate railroads. The bill was not passed, but is to come up under a suspension of the rules next week. Senator Gorman has manfully, although unsuccessfully, fought for economy in the appropriation bills ever since the Senate began any Democratic are not over-many of them in office be willing to sign any such an absurd petition.

When my son was seven years old he began to complain of soreness in his right leg. A white swelling soon appeared just below the knee joint, and extended from the knee to the ankle. At tho same time he was taken with an attack of fever, . which was broken up, but the leg became very badly swollen, causing him great suffering, and the muscles so contracted that his leg was drawn up at right angles. He was unable to walk, could not even bear to be handled, and I thought him a Confirmed Cripple. a tune had tho swelling lanced, midway between the knee and the ankle, and it would discharge over a pint of pus at times. I decided to him to Cincinnati to have tho operated upon, expecting he would lose It.

Charlotte, N. C, Dec, I have used Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy and it is the finest medicine I ever used for Rheumatism. For more than years I have been afflicted with Muscular Rheumatism, and had tried every Known remedy, but without avail. I was often so bad and suffered so much that I could not lie down, but had to be propped up in bed. I had been subject to these severe attacks for years. I tried Mrs. Person's Remedy last spring, and am perfectly cured. It is the best medicine In tho world, I think. No words of mine can express the benefit I have de- rived from its use. My health is now perfect, and it is all owing to Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy. I am strong and well and can take extended exercise without fatigue.

The wise business man can do things can spend and he can save. It is not the penny-pincher who gets rich, it is the one who keeps every dollar active.

Now this man carried nothing but his best grades and a few pounds of tips, which of course could not effect the average very much and only averaged Edwards have sold their entire crop of wrappers at an average of- over and one lot of 1,300 pounds of all grades except tips at an average of No use kicking, gentlemen, we have got the bright tobacco and they will sell it for as many bright dollars as any other market, though we have no rich R.

Edwards and of bright tobacco fame. Mr- says he believes in en- and supporting all do- enterprises when ho can do so without a sacrifice, and his Mr. Edwards, has surely proven himself to be of the same nature, for since the Green- ville Warehouse first opened in 1891 not one load of his tobacco has been sold on any other market, notwithstanding the oft repeated entreaties and promises of ware- house drummers to carry it to markets. Mr- Edwards always tells them that the Greenville market will give him all his co is worth, and that is all he wants. Other markets found that they could not induce these gen- to sell and so they began to try new plans. They would send a representative there to buy it. This plan failed also and their tobacco goes on the floor it always, without an exception so far, brings more i than they were offered at hence take it that the prices i offered are fair indications of the way tobacco sells in the different markets that send out these would be pin-hookers, country buyers, and that Greenville is the best of them all. Another noticeable feature is the fact that neither of the warehouse- men here seldom ever buy any of this tobacco, a fact which goes to show that tho tobacco is sold strictly on its merits and not for an advertising purpose. Recent-1 we were informed that a gentle- MERIT WILL WIN. In order to show that tho Green ville market is not only on a par but in respects a superior tobacco market, I take the of reproducing the following letter from a gentleman in an ad- joining county. He divided his tobacco and shipped one half of ii the other he brought to Greenville to try the market. N. C, Feb, 17th, 1893- Mr. O. L. Joyner, Greenville, N. C- Dear reply to your favor asking what the difference was in the tobacco I sold on your floor and that which I shipped will say that by shipping I lost thirty and forty I shall never ship any more so long as you do as well as you have been doing. Greenville is my market. Will send you two more hogs- heads in a few days. Tours truly, T. P. W. In connection with the above I should like to say that a farmer living near Greenville was offered on this market an average of dollars, but a drummer had told him if he it he would get twenty-five. He shipped it and got fourteen. Gentlemen of tho Golden give us your co-operation and support and in return we will give you a market of which you feel proud, a market where you can sell your tobacco as high as the highest and you will thereby give encouragement to domestic enterprises, something that the South is just beginning to learn.

There is one section in this a section that I hold dear for it is there that clusters the scenes of my childhood and boyhood, to which would especially appeal. This section is that which rounds Farm ville, the garden spot of Pitt county. Thus far with a few exceptions we have been able to sell the Farmville This can easily accounted for. The Wilson market opened up a few weeks prior to Greenville and Farmville being very convenient to. Wilson began giving it its trade and when the Greenville market opened, it of course, was not es on prices hence it bus a severe blow from the opening break. Those from Farmville who had tobacco on the floor on that become dissatisfied with their prices and have since been trying Wilson until recently they are beginning to realize that Greenville is the place because it is cheaper to bring it here and they get fully as much if not more money for it. Now in conclusion let me say we will not think hard of you for selling in Wilson this season be- cause we were not on time in open- but we shall expect you next, and if when you have tried us you think yon can better yourselves by selling elsewhere we will not utter one murmuring word.
