A Mischievous Sister Brings Pouting Lovers Face to Pace—A Recon- ciliation and a Marriage, A bright moonlight night and a gay party. Peals of laughter in all keys float through the keen, frosty air as sleigh- load after sleigh-load drive a way from a brightly 1it mansion until the street scems filled with the dashing sleighing party. One, a small, shell-like ereation, drawn by a single black horse, leads the party. Jts ocen t ‘e Mr. Harold Greystone and lis sister, Miss Nellie. Mr. Grey- stone, after wrapping his sister in the fur robes, devotes himself to putting his horse at a speed that promises m‘llnnw the i of the party in the dis- tance. For some reason Mr. Greystone does not share the exuberant spirits of the rest of the party, On the contrary, he seems a good deal put out, to_say the least, und his usually good-humored countenance is overcast. His heavy black brows are dis r, and, in spite of the sweeping mustache, one ‘can note the firm expression that lurks around the mouth.

It was the last partof the place to fill up with graves, as if the people who Iaid their dead down there shunned leaving them close to the murderer’s last resting place. It was pointed out to strangers and chil- dren with the words: The Frenchman lies buried theve, the first man ever hung in Somerset county,” One day in December, 1815, when the snow lay several feet deep upon the round and the pines bent under their cavy white load, at a long, low, wooden tavern on the summit of the Alleghenies there stopped n sleigh containing two gentlemen, who alighted, went in, and asked refresnments for themselves and their horses. They spok: very broken Engilsh, snld thoy had 6t Jong beon' in this cotntry, 1 e traveling for pleasure. Touning about stared at them, because they :lifi not often see such guests at Statler v ern. They were handsomely dre the fashion of the ds he elder was tall, large, fine-looking, with jet black hait and eyes. The younger was pale, slight, intéllectual in” appearance, with ;;nrg. soft, brown eyes and chestnut ir. Among the crowd of idiers and drink- ers at the tavern was a drover who took w drop too much and_ bragged of the fine sales he had made of Cum- berland, from where be was just now re- turning with his money is pocket, The drover rode away on his white horse alittle while before dusk for his home, some miles off. The Frenchmen soon afterward inguired where the next good stopping place was to be found, ordered their horse and sleigh, and drove in the of the drover, saying they were in aste to reach a certain place by the next day. That night xlw drover's waiting ~ wife saw his horse come home without his master. with his white coat spotted with blood stains. The drover's body was found next morning, stiff and stark, with a bullet through his brain, shot from be- hind. The neighborhood was roused. The Frenchmen were at once suspected and pursued. They were found at o pub- lic house sonie distance on, sitting quictly inaroom in the sccond story. When they suddenly became aware that there was an excited mob of countrymen after them they were too much excited and frightencd to use the little English they knew, and could only gesticulate and chatter in their native tongue, which was all lost on the boors of Somersct connity. At length, being too hard pressed, one ot them jum}w from the Luukw dow of the room.

He gave his name as Noel Huguet. Many wondered if that girl did not wait and wateh and pine in- Fggnce for her beautiful lover, who was hung by the neck until he was dead in the far-off mountuins of Pennsylvania, Many thought him a victim of circumstanti eyidence, that the drover’s murderer es- caped scot free with the money, and th Noel Huguel w an innocent man, mysterious di; |)})4‘:\mu(~u ne counted for to his friends in France. was n‘lnsm} the He re- ging o party young men- were discussing Nocl Huguel, and there some dispute about where he was buried.

No matter how trousers or waistcoats may change, it seems as though coats are fixed and will remain as they are until some total revolution in apparel takes place. The four prevailing styles of coats which have now been “‘in" for many years will probably remain many years more. They ave the sack, the frock, the four-button cutaway and the dress coat.

The Largest Telescope in the Worl Hartford Post: Passongers out Boston on the Boston and _Albany raile road may have noticed just ncross t Charles river, at the first bridge out the city and opposite Cottage Farmy Station, a handsome residence, and baclé of it a low, round-topped observatoryl and outside, near it, a long white mode, of a telescope, and in the same yard & two-story brick building. This building is the factory where the great Russian ope was made, as well as many others also famous, and where work is now going on for the Lick' telescope, which ‘Wil be the largest in the world, Of the two dises of glass, each one yard in diameter, for the Lick telescope, the flint glass has been made a long time, but the crown glass, although orderod five rs ago, was only received by the Clarks in September last. It was made, after repeated trials and failures, at an establishment near Pa the only one that could get out sucha picce of work, Each glass cost $25,000 in the rough, and n not be finished before fall. ~ At tirst, machinery could do a little rongh grinding, but for months past the bawe hand only has been used in applying the polishing substance, which is rouge. The glasses have now reachod & & where the removal of a small portion f the surface in the wrong place would ruin them. They are frequently tested, set in a circular iron frame, called a cell. No instruments can be used for the test, but the long experience of the Olarks has given them a judgment whichis un- erring. Very soon the s will be made in the model of the telescope outside the building, 'This model is of the size of the proposed Lick telescope and s 97 foet ong. Theso two lenses are set 6 nches apart in their iron frame, which has openings to allow of the glnsses being properly cleaned on each side. Lensas and frame together weigh over sovan hundred pounds. While u\'or'yllnnu now appears to be perfect, some slight defoet in the glass that has not yet appeared, or an accident, may render useloss all the labor of months. When completed the great telescope will be placed in the vatory on Mount Hamilton, in Clara County, Cal. Mr, James Lick left $700,000 in his will for the pur- pose of constructing the necessary build- ings and “for a telescope superior to and more powerful than uny yet made.” An astronomer hus stated that this telescope will bring the moon, 240,000 miles dis- tant, within, apparently, a hundred miles of the beholder. It will cost $60,000, and will be covered by a steel dome 75 feet in diameter, weighing ninety-five tons, Besides the obseryatory are many other buildings, containing all the vilunble instruments necessary for a_complate establishment to out Mr. Liok’s intentions.
