quiet I heard low voices, and, looking 
around, discovered Katrina and Wilitel- 
mina, who seemed to he fast friends, loung¬ 
ing in the great, netted hammock which 
swung in the farther end of the broad piazza 
by which my house was surrounded. Near 
them stood Gustav Muhlenberg— the old¬ 
est of the family, n. manly fellow of twenty- 
two— with one hand gently moving the 
hammock to and fro, while he talked to 
Wiliielmina, who held Katrina’s head on 
her bosom and was lovingly petting her

everything pretty, and everything good to 
eat,” he said, “ hut how can you make any 
money ? 1 came to America to make money 
enough to save some. I can get a living in 
Germany; I think I could make money in 
the West. There are railroads, and here tire 
none.” 
“ Let me tell you, Mein Herr, how 1 make 
money. If we have not railroads, we have 
rivers, and we shall soon be running a steam¬

creek to a purchaser between the two 
streams, because it would impair the value 
of the property beyond. But Muhlenberg 
had seen the spot and bad ridden a good

to recur again and again to this one, saying

With conversation such as this we whiled 
away the hours, and varying the pleasure 
with a pipe or a glass of wine, wc finally 
wound up the day with a cup of tea and a 
cracker and went to our rooms. 
The following morning, when I came 
down stairs, Herr Muhlenberg was already 
in the piazza, enjoying the soft, spring-like 
breeze. We walked together down to the 
shore, two hundred yards from the house,

a chance for himself. 
After going over the farm we returned to 
the shore and looked at. my salt works, 
which, though on a small scale, were very 
effective. I raise the salt, water from the 
Bay into ten wooden vats by means of a 
wind mill applied to a pump, and so by 
evaporation made all the sail I required. I 
should soon be able to sell, for I made it a 
point to add two vats a year to the row. I

So, when we had reached home and re¬ 
freshed ourselves with coconnut milk and a 
light lunch, we walked out to look at the 
coveted tract once more. I wanted my 
neighbor to have the advantage of a creek if 
be could, and yet I didn’t want him to go so 
far off that another could get between us. 
If lie bought ten acres lie would have a first- 
rate living, and gather an income of at least 
$3,000 a year from it, if he were fairly indus¬

had cool, fresh figs, too; also peaches, melons

“ I haven’t the money,” said Muhlen¬

“You don’t want it,” I said. “How 
much can you spare?” 
“ I can buy forty acres in Illinois on the 
line of the great railroad, by paying $2.50 
cash down per acre, and an equal amount 
each year for ten years. I avus prepared to 
do this." 
“ Very good ; do so now. No; I propose

My countryman was uoav the owner of

A JAPANESE EAIRY TALK 
A mammoth fancy fair, in Avhiclt the Jap¬ 
anese have almost a monopoly, is being held 
in California. Among other Avomlcrs, a 
group of fixed figures in one of the large 
cases, nltracts much attention. Some think 
it represents the Darwinian development 
theory—hut it does not. The Japs have 
this tradition, and the group of figures com¬ 
memorates it. The first man and woman 
dwell on the banks of a river in Japan,(that 
is well authenticated.) They had it" “gar¬ 
den,” and the old man chopped wood for a 
living. The woman lmd no particular 
“sphere,” hut Avaii'lered about talking to 
herself. One day the old man was cutting 
faggots, and bis wife went down to the river 
to wash bis Sunday shirt. She got through 
with the job in a sliol‘1 time and had her 
“ washing out,” Avhile on the river hank a 
peach floated to the place where she stood. 
Now.it was not an “ apple,” but she thought 
the old nmn would like it for lunch, and she 
took it home. When lie came in she giwe 
him the peach (not an “ apple”) to eat. '1 he 
old man devoured the peach, and oil crack¬ 
ing the pit willi his hammer, out jumped a 
little Jap about three years old. The couple 
Avere delighted. There was another human 
being on the earth with themselves. 
They ndopted the child, and lie grew up. 
He didn’t slay his brother, for he had none; 
nor did he go to the land of Nod to see his 
Avife, for she was not there. But on an 
island in the river dwelt a race ot Ogres. 
He determined to exterminate them; and. 
buckling on a two-handed sword, he sallied 
forlh, On bis way be met a sparrow, a. dog 
and a monkey. They became bis allies. 
The allies fought the Ogres, took their castle, 
and he returned to his anxious parents wild 
great quantities of treasure, corals, diamonds, 
pearls, gold, silver and copper, which he is 
represented placing at the feet of his mother. 
This little “ Peaciillng,” as he was called,
