A most magnificent illustration is furnished by"Nieoll, the tailor," whose establishments, 727 Mar.ket and 305 and 507 Montgomery street. Han Fran-cisco, are as well known and patronized as are hisfialatial stores in New York, or his elegant

To the proof: He bat. anoffice in London which is a great center to whichmanufacturers of cloth at all points send their goodsfor sale. He purchases regularly in London ami alsoin Paris, and when occasion requires, his buyersvisit manufacturing scats, such as Huderstield.Dewsbroy.

Changes in atyle, as soon aathey occur, are wired by private code from London.Domestic fabrics are also purchased for cash frommanufacturers.

Business with Xicoll this spring has started inbooming. During his many seasons, experience inthis city, he reports that at no time has he been sopressed to fill his orders.

Official rathe. I

A comparison of the official oaths ofseveral countries, apropos of the Brad-laug- h

affair, says a New York paper isnot uninteresting. France demauds nooath, not even any equivalent formality,before her legislators-ente- r upon theirduties. Even under the empire thedeity was not called upon, the simpleformula being, "I swear fidelity to theemperor and the constitution." -

In Austria, also, there is no oath, but,. in reply to a question from the presidentof the reichsrath, whether the new mem-ber "promisea loyality and obedience tothe emperor, inviolable observance ofthe constitution, as well as of all otherlaws, and conscientious fulfillment ofhis duty," the new member simply re-plies, "I promise."

The reason that members of the Ger-man parliament take no oath is thatmany of them are under oath of alle-giance to their respective states in theGerman federation, and so a conflict ofduty might arise if two oaths were in-

sisted upon. The Prussian member ofparliament takes an oath beginning, "Iswear by God, the omnipotent and om-niscen- t,"

and ending "so may God helpmo." As if this were not enough, thosewho choose, it is provided, may add"through Jesus Christ to eternal bliss,amen." x

The Spanish deputies are put throughsomething of a catechism. The secretaryasks them: "Do you swear to observe,and make others observe the constitutionof the Spanish monarchy? Do you swearfidelity and obedience to the legitimateking of Spain, Alfonso XII.? Do youswear well and truly to behave in themission confided to you by the nation,always aad in everything seeking thewelfare of the nation?" The answer ex-pected is "Yes I do swear," and the re-plication is, "If you do so may God re-ward you, and if you do not may he callyou to account." In 1S7'J, it may be suitlSenor Castelar and fifteen others v.. rethe Bradlanghs of Spain, but their objec-tions were not based on religious or irre-ligious grounds.

In Italy the president of the chamberof deputies says with elaborate polite-ness, "I invite the honorable gentlemento take the oath in the form following:"I swear to be faithful to the king andto observe loyally the fundamental stat-ute and the other laws of the state, witha single view to the insejwirable welfareof tho king and the country." The newdeputy responds with the single word,"Giurgo," (I swear).

The oath to which Mr. Brad la ugh ob-jects seems harmless enough. It reads:"I do swear that I will be faithful andWar true allegiance to her majesty,Queen Victoria, her heirs and successors,according to law; so help me God." Ob-viously, any man who believes in anyGod, whether Jew or Mohammedan orChristian, might honorably assent toevery letter of this oath. And so, too.ofcourse, might any man who believed inno God at all. For him the oath lacksits usual sanction, and scrupulous honormight lead him to point this out at thotime of complying with the custom ofoath-takin- g; but there can be no doubtthat dozeus, perhaps scores, of othermembers of Parliament do not agreewith Mr. Bradlaugh in this view of thesubject.

The United States, it is generallyknown, have two oaths, but their jreei.-- e

forms are familiar.I lie Seed of leuuonij.

If the mistress of the household is in-

clined to in her expendi-tures, her servants, who are quick imita-tors, will soou follow her exaiuple, andmake sad waste of the materials put intotheir hands. The improvident class,from which our help mostly come, soonlearn the lessons taught by such exam-ple, and become careless of the propertyof the employer, even when they haveno thought of appropriating anything totheir own use. Bnt such lessons, itshould be remembered, make our em-ployes, of both sexes, totally unfit tomanage a home of their own, or saveenough, when family cares come uponthem, to keep them from the poor-hous- e.

How many of us have seen what wretchedincompetent creatures those girls be-come after marriage who have lived inwealthy families, with a great abundanceto work with and no cautions fromtheir employer to use it discreetly andwith a true economy. They are inca-pable of making the most of their smallpossessions. If they had been taughteconomy, and how best to manage theirown earniugs.they coyjd help their hard-working husbands to build up little com-fortable homes for themselves and rearand educate their children with suchcare that they might become among ourmost influential citizens. But unlessthose wealthy ladies with whom theytook their first lessons were those whofeel the true responsibility of their pos-tion- s

and the guidance they owe to theirservants, when the untutored damselsmarry they drift as helplessly as a rudderless ship in a storm, and year by yearsink down into deeper poverty andwretchedness, ending perhaps in a pauper's grave ruined for life by the extravagant habits learned before mar-riage.

A Hr'gtat t jTtarjr IJIrd.

A family living in the Hotel Victoriahave a canarv bird named Beauty, which&as shown a wonderful aptitude forpicking np tunes, and seems to be far inadvance of others of his kind in generalintelligence. He is esiecially fond ofthe head of the family, recognizing hisfootsteps and greeting him with a burstof song.

On a recent evening, in the presenceor guests, the door of Beauty's cage wasopened after the master had seated him-self at the piano, and the bird Hew tothe gentleman's shoulder and then tothe music rack on the piano. When hismaster whistled an air playing an accompaniment, the canary warbled andtrilled in accurate tune and time, hopping upon the player's fingers and overthe keys. When the whistling and accompaniment ceased the bird perchedupon his master s head and awaited further ordeis. . Then Beanty was placed infront of the rier glass, where he sang tohis reflected image in harmony with thepiano accompaniment, and when his ma.ter stoped playing the bird flittedaround the room in pursuit of hisshalow on the ceiling. After he hadconvinced himself that he had corneredhis dark silhouette he sat gazing abstractedly at it till he was coaxed away.

After Beauty had retired to his cagehe kissed the members of the familygood night, imitating the kissing soundwhen he touched their lips with his bill.His education hr.s been acquired withina month, and his tutor is tho littledaughter of the family.

A bright little boy who had been en-gaged in combat with another boy, wasreproved by his aunt, who said he oughtalways to wait until the other boy"pitched upon him. "Well," exclaim-ed the little hero, "but if I wait for theother boy to legin I'm afraid there won'tbe any tight."

were it not for you.I raised my hand to strike him down,

and the muzzle of a revolver, the bntt ofwhich was clutched in his hand, deter-red me. I stepped back a couple ofpaces.

" 'I have thought this matter over, hecontinued, lowering tho revolver, 'andhave determined that one of us mustdie. I could have shot you down anynight and none would have been wiser,but I am frank enough to make you aproposition."

"But I shall make no objection to yourmarrying Miss " I said hurriedly."She is nothing more than a dear friendto me- - Go ahead and win her, man." Ithought him crazy, and believe to thismoment that he was not in his rightmind." 'No, said he slowly, and with deter-mination; 'this world is not large enoughfor we two men. I will kill you beforethis night is done, or you will do me thesame favor. You are armed and shallhave an equal chance for your life; wewill go up the valley a little ways, andthere settle our quarrel like men. If Ikill you none shall ever know whetherthe cases were right or wrong, and iffall it will be with no malice towardyou.

"He. took my arm, and we walked upthe street together. It seemed like adream to me. and vet there was the mananxious to murder me, at my side. Ibesran to grow nettled, and was suffi- -cientlv reckless before we reached theBismarck stage road to have fought himwith the bowie knives had he demandedit. Then. too. I was angry at the freemanner in which he had spoken of Miss

. Up the valley we strode, some-thing like four hundred paces. Thesnow was crisp and hard, the moon wasfull, and in tlie clear sky lit up the surrounding country and the sleeping citybelow in a fantastic manner, lwo orthree hungry cayotes, which had ventnred down to the outskirts of the camp.scampered away and were, except myselfand companion, the only evidence of lifein the valley. Presently my strangeguide and enemy halted and said:

" 'You stand here and I will step tenpaces farther one.

"I obe3ed his directions."Ho paced off ten strides, and, remov-

ing his hat, faced me, revolver in hand." 'Hold on! said I; il your mind is

fully made up to shoot me. at least letmo know your name.

' 'That'makes no difference to you,'said he. 'It's as good a one as you canboast. Please be ready to fire when Icount to three.

"I am a clever shot with the pistol,and can shoot the spots Axom a card ateven twenty yards, and felt confidentthat no matter how good a shot was myantagonist, that I could kill him at tenpaeas. I drew my derringer and cockedit carefully. I was standing witli myback to the moon and he was a littleabove me, and the moon shone full ouhis broad brow. He leveled his weaponand began to count. As the fatal wordswere slowlv pronounced. I raised my revolver, and at the word pressed the trigcrer. We fired at the same instant, and Ifelt the wind of his bullet by my headHe sank to his knees without a struggleand fell uion his face in the snow.

"My being in the shadow a little belowhim and the moon's rays falling on hispistol barrel had, even at so short a dis-tance, disturbed his aim. I walked for-ward, turning over the body, still warm,and looked vLjwn in its face. My bullethad sped true. There was a sm.ill,bluish looking hole, from which thebloud had not j-- sprung, in the centreof his forehead. If any one heard thepistol shots, no heed was paid, and notwishing to be arrested and chaiged withmurder, I walked down the valley overthe hard-leate- u snow and returned to myhotel.

After a minuto's pause Harry Nortonreliarhted his cicrar. emitted a cloud ofsmoke, through his nostrils and con-tinued. -

"The following afternoon I saw quite acrowd assembled at the city undertaker's,elbowed my way into the group, andasked an acquaintance standing nearwhat caused the commotion.

" 'Some cuss got sick of the camp,went up the valley la6t night and com-mitted suicide. The wolves were hovering about, and picked his bones prettyclean before one of the men from the"Homestead mine" came down to townand found him.'

'He might have been murdered? Ianswered in a questioning tone.

" 'No; he committed suicide, was thereply. 'His revolver was found in theroad, and one chamber had beenemptied. He just got homesick andwent up there and "called" himself, andthe wolves hod a good meal and he can'tbe identified. He was not murdered, forover 8200 in bills were found scatteredabout.

"I walked away and shed no light onthe mystery. In Deadwood, where peo-ple came in and departed by hundredsevery day, mysterious disappearanceswere rarely reported. I am in ignoranceas to the name of the man whom I shotdown in that strange dnel, and though Iremained in the Black Hills for sometime afterward I never paid another visitto the theater where my lady acquaint-ance was playing. "That is all."

Handsome, talented Harry Norton hasfought his last duel and penned his lastleader. He fell into the" loug sleep lastMay, after a day's illness from pneumo-nia. Such a funeral as he was accordedwas never before witnessed in Leadville.The four daily papers in the camp turnedtheir column rules, and the Pacific CoastAssociation and a band of music followedthe remains to the second cemetery thatLeadville has filled in less than threeyears. He was buried by the side ofCharley Vivian, the actor, and a friendfrom Colorado informed me a few daysago that in the vacant lot adjoining poorHarry's grave, just to the left, TexasJack was laid to rest last summer.

Thinos That Pay. It pays to have agarden if you will take care of it; if youdo not or cannot, you had better nothave one. It pays to make a garden asrich as possible. Stable mannte is, per-haps, the best for the purpose, but goodsuperphosphate has the advantage ofbeing more convenient to apply and isfree from the seed of weeds. The valueof wood ashes, especially for potatoes,peas, beans, etc., is very great. It paysto delay planting the ground until warmand dry, so that it can be well pulver-ized. The distorted and crooked-parsnips- ,

salsify, radishes, etc., and slowgrowing stnnted corn, are the results of

ggy and lumpy eoil. It pays to havewalks through your garden, made ofloose stone and and coal ashes. It paysto plant your vegetables in long rowsinstead of old-fashion- ed beds, and touse stakes and a line in planting every- -thing in order that the rows may bestraight and even. It pays to rotate yourvegetables from one to another; and,finally, it pays to kill a weed whereveryou see it.

A BLACK HILLS DUEL.

I shall nerer forget the night whichclosed the day that Jack McConibe soldthe "Maid of Erin" mine on CarbonateHill, Leadville. The consideration was$63,000. The "Maid of Erin" was notthe only one of Jack's mines. He wasinterested in the "Highland Chief,""California Tunnel," and a dozen others,and his heart was just as biff as hisparse. He w& one of Leadville's firstsix aldermen, and made it a point toknow every man in the mines, and ajollier fellow could not be found fromDenver'to Sajnache pass. Jack deter-mined that a portion of the proceeds ofhis last sale should be devoted to hisfriends, and as a consequence it was agala night in the Carbonate camp.Prinks and cigars were free at Johnny-Shea'- s

Gem saloon, in Harrison avenue,and the programme was to conclude withthe stage box and an unlimited qnantityof champagne at Tom Kemp's GrandCentral theater, the largest varietyhouse ever erected in the West, or Easteither, for that matter. Being a "news-paper man," as Jack put it, the partywould not be complete without thewriter, so, dropping my work, accom-panied by Harry Norton, the city editorof the Chronicle, I joined the gay party.

A gay party it was, too. Apart fromthe host there were Lieutenant GovernorTabor', Alderman Ed. Kavanagh, Alder-man Kelly and a half-doze- n local majorsand colonels, and one general from theregular army, whose name I cannot re-call.;; The female members of the thea-ter were also well represented, it leingthe custom in that city for tho actresses,from song and dance artists to the lead-ing lady, to visit the boxes and quaffchampagne. On that particular night,Ida Corey, of the Corey sisters, a mostfinished 'dancer, flirted with GovernorTabor, Maggie LeClaire clinked glasseswith Alderman Kavanagh, and ViolaWray, Amy JTmlor, Frankto Hussell,Lottie Beaumont and Fannie Garretsonentertained the company.

Amid all the hilarity, Harry Nortonappeared ill at easo. He drank a fewglasses of champagne, and then removedhis chair to the corner of the box, outof the glare of the footlights and lit acigar.

"What ails you, Harry?" I asked. "Itcannot be possible that vou have theblues to-nigh-t?"

"No," said he, "but I was just think-ing of a little incident which happenedto me fon r years ago to night in Jan-nar- y,

1870, In the Black Hills. If youcare to hear it, draw your chair a littlenearer."

Harry's manner of speaking impressedme strangely, for he was seldom comrati-nicativ- e,

at all times reticent and rarelyreferred to his past life. He was a dash- -ing fellow, about thirty five years of ageand there was pot a thread of silver inhis raven hair or heavy drooping mus-tache. He was a native of Buffalo, andhad been connected with the Courier ofthat city.had written half a dozen books,and there was very little of the UnitedStates that he had not thoroughly" ex-plored. His fnll name and title wasCapt.Henry J. Norton, the title having beenacquired in the recent Cuban revolu-tion.

"This incident, as I am pleased toterm it,' he began, "has never beennarrated bnt once before, and then itwas poured ihto the ears of a priest atthe St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans,about eighteen months ago. When Icross the range and go prospecting inGod's country, you can tell it if you seefit. Four years ago to-nig- ht I "was inDeadwood. I had returned from an ex-

pedition np the Yellowstone river andpublished a book on my research. Dead-woo- d

was at that day what Leadville isat the present time all life and fire,riches and glitter. There were no beg-gars in her streets, and every man wasthe possessor of gold, mining stock orunlimited credit. I was a guest of theDakota house, (and passed my nights,in the main, at the theaters. At one ofthe theaters a woman whom I had knownin Detroit three year9 before, .was sing-ing ballads. She was too noble a womanto tread tho boards of any stage, but.likemany others, gifted with a sweet mezzo-sopran- o

voice, she found on the varietystage an easy avenne to a livelihood.

She was a woman, every inch, and wasalways accompanied by a young hister toand from cities and their Michigan home.Being an old friend, she felt perfectly athome in my company, and we were to-gether ranch of the time. No man inDeadwood, except myself, would shepermit to act as her escort, and the con-sequence was that it was not many weeksuntil I was envied by half the men inthe camp. On the night I refer to, afterthe theater, I went into the bar-roo- m forpurpose of taking a drink before retir-ing. While pouring out a glass of whiskya stranger walked np and accosted me,saying:. . -

"Yon are Mr. Norton I believe?""I answered in the affirmative, and in-

vited him . to drink. He hesitateda moment, and then calling out for alemonade with a 'light stick,' asked meto accompany him out to the street. Hewas a fine-looki- ng young man, of heavybuild, and wore better clothes than theaverage miner. I noted all this fromthe fact that he was a stranger, whowished a private conversation witli me,and had been so uncivil as not to intro-duce

i

himself. Together we stepped le-yo- nd

the doorway, and then halting, hesaid:
