Howells, tho novelist, is anxio )H to have a word to say about the substitution of death by electricity for death by hanging in the infliction of capital punishmen t,and in a recent letter to Harper's Weekly he seta forth various reasons why the legislature of that state should make the proposed change. u the event, however, that tho legislature should refuse to enact a law whereby the change may be brought about, Mr. Howells says: t'l have a suggestion to make in this matter of executions. I have long thought it cruel to the sheriff and his deputies to force them to this hangman's work, and monstrous to let somo imbruted wretch make legal killing his trade; and I have to propose that the executioner should be drawn from society at large, as jurors are, and that no excuse should avail, except the oath of the person drawn that he is conscientiously opposed to capital punishment. This system, which is perfectly practicable, would give from time to time, men of every profession and station the opportunity to attest their devotion to the great principle that if it is wrong to take life, a second wron£ of tho kind dresses the balance and makes it risht." , -^. i he etiquette of the sick room should be better understood. Many a patient, nervous and excited, has literally had the life forced out and gone to the grave throu h uneasiness or fright over the mysterious surroundings. There is no time when a man or woman more needs to have natural and cheerful people about them than when to-sing on a sick bed. Talking in the room unoold always ...be done in a natural tone of voice and never in whispers. Tb«t* should be no tip-toeing and no long faces, or discussions over this or that grave symptom. The doctor tlrnt on't briu«r a bree e of cheerfulness with him to the sick room had better quit business and go to the undertaker's trade. There are many forms of disease where the patient is killed or cured, not by any remedies, but by t i e indiscretion or discretion of tho physician and attendants. he effect of a good life is seen even in this world Thero are faces that we love to look upon, though wasted by sickness and wrinkled with age The splendor of a beautiful soul shine - through the crumbling walls of the body, and the sphere of innocence and tried virtue Hows #forth as-delicious iragrance from the heart. onesh and manly lirmness, unswerving integrity, bright honor, or tender pity, iovh g tniitfulness, delicate sympathy, white innocence, in manifold forms ami graces shines through the wa-lls o!' clay, and blond in wondrous beauty in the material face and form.

The national conference of wool growers, dealers and manufa :turers completed their work by issuing an elaborate reply to the president's recent message, urging a revision of tho wool tari".

The conference has been divided, some members urging that tin? tari f reduction was certain, but the ulira-pvo ectioii wing won the light and went beyond asking to let the present tari If stand, by demanding a heavr iucri'ase. The api eal begins with a lengthy statement or how the American wool industry has been built up by the protective policy, showing that imported wools and woolens are now practically excluded. Then it asks that the' -Amen; an pn.duetion bo made the entire supply of the country by proposing tariff rates which are largely above the present schedule and, if adopted, would be < raetiealtv a barrier against importing wool or woolens.

The correspondent had time to recover his sight-seeing position when the s h a r p crack of the gun caps fourteen hundred feet down in the e a r t h wa* heard. There were ten seconds of silent suspense, a n d then n^rand.spectacle was seen. First a r o a r was heard, a n d this was followed a t once by the belching forth a column of greenish liquid, which rose t o the t o p of the derrick, broke into spray, a n d filled the air. Next followed a column of black smoke a n d liquid roaring out ot the hole like the escape of steam from a locomotive safetyvalve. A fire of stones followed thia cracking a m o n g the timbers of the derrick a n d failing all a b o u t . The wind carried the liquid away from the spectators, and the stones thrown straight from the m o u t h of the well fell back, harming no one. The belching lasted pefhaps half a minute, and then all was quiet. The eight q u a r t s of nitro-glycerine had don» its work. It had lifted first a column of crude oil 1,400 feet deep from the h o t t o m of the well; had broken the bl.'icksand rock in which petroleum is found, and had thrown the fragments up from a depth of fourteen hundred feet.

While the Twenty-Fifth Tennessee Infantry was encamped near Wartrace, in tho spring of 1 S(>;5, a farmer from a neighboring county came in with a large goods-box filled with "pies an' things."' During his stay, he was approached by a- soldier whom lie h a d known in civil life, who wanted t o make use of his e m p t y box as a means of escape from camp, t h a t he might pay a s h o r t visit home. The farmer, not being sure t h a t it would be right t o comply with the request, though willing to a c c o m m o d a t e the man, made no promise, b u t privately referred t h e m a t t e r t o Col. Hughes, who told him he had no power to grant a furTolTglTTd~fhe~a"pptrcantr but if he could get o u t of c a m p in the empty box, it would bo all right. He charged the farmer, however, n o t to let his friend know t h a t he was cognizant of his a t t e m p t {p es:ape. T h a t strategy had been a t t e m p e d before, t h e qplonel was aware, and he didn't choose t o let it continue. T h e soldier went off in the dry-goods box. As the wagon, with its unsuspicious- looking load, reached Duck River the next morning, it was met amid stream by several mounted guards, who accused t h e owner of trafficking in whiskey t o t h e soldiers. This he stoutly denied; b u t they told him they must m a k search, which they proceeded a t once tcrdp. Mounting the wagon-at a given signal, they hoisted the box o v e r b o a r d into the river.

T h a t prince of good fellows, R o b e r t J. Burdette, says: \ No, oh no; we are not goirr^-t^Kjktch into the uve cent blood and thiimk^r novelette; not ri^dit directly, at any rate. We were jusi looking over a story in the u n e nunioer of a most excellent and highly respectable juvenile magazine; d good magazine, that doubtless views with alarm, as do all the rest of us, tho poisonous literature of the news stand This story is about a boy, 15 years old, who, while standing alone on his lather's engine on a lonely siding, saw a runaway train of cars, started by the wind, sweep past him down tho grade. Usual tiling the lightning express neariy due; thu train dispatcher always manages to have a lightning express about due when anything of tins kind happens There is " n o telegraph wire either; ' this is a so usual; a road without a wire is apt to run light n i n g expresses ami limited trains every lilteen minutes. The boy thinks ijuickly; boy»of lifteen aro ulwasstjuickthinkers; hu'rutis his online out on the main line, sotting the Mvit lies lor himself, tor his father has gono to supper, miles away in tl)«> country, presumably, as it is quite customary for railway engineers H> take all thoinueals at distant ranches, leaving their engine in the charge of children. The runau a\ ears "aro miles away;1 ' and he has "less than an hour" to e a t h them, lie caught the rnna ways, which were tiymg like the wind; he slowed up "with great j u d g m e n t " —• we should (flink so ••crept along the -side of his Hying engine, irot on the p.lot.' lifted the coupling bar "with one h a n d " and reuehedover as he " m a d e the ooupling and dropped the pin in with t.he other;" had a struggle with the ll\ ing cars, i.ut at last cheeked theni; got them started back, he making thn'ty-iive miles au hour and the '•Lightning" in Mght making sixty-- •n a road withou a wire - h o - h a d ten niile> to run in this shape, but he made ii. g o t in on the siding, time to turn the switch, and the "Lightning" thundered by. Then "I ho hoy tainted dead a w a y . " o wonder it. was enough to make a man fa nt t» read it; it was high time somebody fainted. Now tho »>ue^ticm s just this: does the boy get anything better out of .sued nonsense than he does <ut of 'Kid th;i Sleuth Ibmml, or 'The <>y Terror oi Gory Cano i .

We haven't the least objection t.o fiction; wo rather like it, hut great - con! even *: t o n for boys should-havc- »oini' sense in it. Not much, perhaps, b\it just soma. A »r(l to the Boys. A writer 1* the American Boy says: Farmer I oys, you nerd not envy t h e 3 onng men who stand behind t h e counters of the o:ty stores. You need not onvy the young men who are making ready te take the places of tho army of lawyers and pettifogers who are subsisting by the litigations of quarrelsome clients. Ami certainly you ought not to envy the b,>\ s who have no employment at all those who a r e growing up to manhood without acquiring industrious habits upon which to . elv in times of great need nnd pressing emergencies, whose idleness invites to temptations which so often lure t o mental amt bodily ruin Your Qlothjjer may n t be s t finely spun and rauade as tin so of the. oity boys, b u t ^ o n a r e the peers of them all, wttfr your bronzed laeos and h « r i y k a n d s , however proton j turn* their employments. Your business ' ,* one whick a»t^ dates every vocation j in th© w«rl«L T k e farmer was plowing and reapim* kia kirvest long before t h e w e i \ 4 m i t u w j i r »r doctor was kuown; MM4 -ko. still »UJidi foremost at lh« j m t M wk«n«» iawM-to the milliixni of tltttt world tk« steady never fa ling streams of plentoosnesa and life. A generation or so ago t h e brighest boys of the farmer's familv were aMigned to the professions ' f n e dull fellows sent to the fields, nowadays a different order of things prevails. Onco the idea was popular that only muscular strength was necessary on a farm—the strength to guide a plotf, t o w eld an axe, a hoe or a s ythe—the endurance to go through the sweltering tasks of summer, or the exposed duties of winter. These important requisites given, a booby might till the place just as well as any one else So some folks used to think, but what say you working farmer boys? Do you not place a higher estimate upon your skill, and upon t h e value of your services?! Look u p then, and vindicate yourselves. You are getting health and strength from the wholesome exercise of the fields, and that you m a y have the necessary intelligence to combine with this strength for the proper prosecution of your calling apply yourselves diligently to acquiring knowledge whenever respite from labor shall give you tho opportunity. Chat With tho GlrlB. Girls, don't! If you iind, in searching for your mission in this world, that you neglect some everyday duty, I say, don't search. Let the mission come; then attend to it. If you have to waste the precious minutes of your life waiting for some grand opportunity to do good, make up your minds that you're not cut out for any special mission, or rather that there is none " c u t o u t " for you; for missions a r e not cut out as a basque is by a pattern, which can be borrowed from any one. Listen to that g r a n d old philosopher, Thomas Carlyle: " D o tho duty which Best nearest thee, which thou knowest to be a duty. T h e second duty will already have" become clearer." T h a t is my motto. I have it copied out in large clear handwriting and hung it on a pin stuck in my writing desk, where I can see it at all hours of the day, a n d underneath is the one word " N o w . " T h a t is to me a magical word. Did you ever know a girl who imagined she would do something great grand, good, had she only a chance, an opportunity? »f she is yet a school girl her studies aro neglected in order that she m a y scribble on bits of paper a n d blank leaves torn from her history, and bewail her fate in these or similar words: " I ani tilled with an inexpressible longing to do f-o'.y.o mighty good. Oh, that i might go forth into the world's great strife and win a name and place for myself! Oh, to be free fro these galling chains!" etc That's just the trouble, my dear young friend, " a place and a n a m e " for yourself. And you deceive yourself in thinking it is for the good of your fellow creatures. Self* deception is indeed a double deceit He content to " d o the duty that lie3 nearest t h e e , " and look not to the man for praise and approval. " T h e noblest deeds are often done where no eye but God's can see t h e m . " 'Tis not so much what we do as what we are. . . . . , .We are touching our fellow beings on all sides. They are atlected for good or for evil by what we are, by what we say and do, even by w h a t we think and feel. " N o man fiveth to himself, no man dieth to himself," a n d you girls who spend your time in idle search, while neglected duties, small and contcmptihle though they seem, stare you in the face every hour of the day—tell me what A ill your answer be when the question co • es: " W h e r e hast thou gleaned to-day?" Will you hold out hands filled with the withered flowers of reveries and day dreams? or will you, at last, drop the withered blossoms and stretch forth empty hands? Remember, that 'from the lowest depth tliere. is a path to the loftiest height." Find it ami walk therein. Test Questions in History. 1.

Thirty years ago a barefoot, ragged urchin presented himself before the desk of the principal partner, and asked for work as an errand boy, •'There's a deal o' running to be d o n e , " said Mr. Blank, jestingly, affecting a broad Scotch accent. "Your first qualification wud be a pair o' shoon." The boy, with a grave nod, disap peared. He lived by doing odd jobs in tho market, and slept under one of the stalls. Two months passed before h" • had saved enough money to buy the shoes. Then he presented himsef before Mr. Black one morning, a n d held out a package. "1 hae the shoon," he said quietly. " O h ! " Mr hlank with difficulty recalled t i e circumstances. 'You want a p l a c e P Not in those rags, my lad; you would disgrace the house." The boy hesitated a moment, and then went out without a word. Six months passed before he returned de cently clothed in coarse b u t new garments. Mr. Blank's interest »was aroused. For the r r s t ti >e ho looked at the boy attentively. His thin, bloodless face showed that he had stinted himself of food for months to buy these clothes. The manufacturer now questioned the boy closely, and found, to his regret, that he could neither read nor write. " I t is necessary that y o n should do both before we could employ you in carrying home parcels," he said. " W e have no place for y o u . " Tho lad's face g r e w paler, but with - out a word of complaint he disappeared. He now went fifteen miles in the country and found work in stables near a night i chool. At the end of a year he again presented himself before Mr. Blank. 'I can read and w r i t e , " he said briefly. " I gave him the place, ' the employer said afterward, "with tho conviction that in process of time he would take mine, if he made u p his mind to do it. Men rise slowly in Scotch business houses but he is nowr p u r chief foreman. " His Sister's Joke. A funny thing happened ou Chestuut street yesterday. A handsomely dressed young'lady was walking along rather hurriedly, below Tenth. Through the < oil of hair on the Lack of her head was carelessly thrust a very pretty minature dagger, made of silver, one of the present fashions of -the sex. Behind the lady walked a young man whose eyes rested upon the dagger from time to time. As they approached Ninth street the young man stepped quickly up and drew the dagger from the lady's hair. She did not not <a.» it, but a policeman did, and his brawny hand came down upon the young m a n ' s shoulder just as he was putting the dagger in his pocket. 'It's all right ' said he; 'she's m\ sister.' ' '11 ask her,' replied the olVicer; and he hurried after the young lady, the young man with him Having overtaken her the vouth explained the matter, and asked his s i - t r to tell the oilicer what a stupid misiake he had made The lady appeared for a m o m e n ' a little bewildered; then in a freezing tone she said: T do not know hini, oilicer; an est him.' The dagger having been returned to her, she walked quickly down the street, while the oilicer conducted the youm: man by the way of Sanson] street t<i the station. An hour later he was released,- when there was a big laugh ail round at the neat manner in which tin sister had turned the joke on the brother - in which langii. however, the brother did not join.- Philadelphia Press.

Although Congress has been in sesi six weeks, a n a a I housand. biMs have been introduced, only one lull has serving six months, resigned, and then another was appointed a n d he is still acting. These facts are given to illustrate tbe one predominating chaiacteristic of Mr. Lamar, and a single word—procrastination—tells the story. This is his great failing—constitutional indolence. Mr. Vilas will appoint a Chief Clerk before he himself is in pm'ce a week. Last week Senator 13eck received the cordial congratulations of hi.sfiiends and admirers on his third election lo the Senate—an honor that Kentucky has conferred upon no other man. T b e Senator is a tower ot strength to his,2;v7. par'y, and is regarded as somewhat ol an oracle on questions of linance and tariff.

The terrible storm which has swept over t b e northwest, blockading railroads in live states, i* now over a n d the victims of its fury are being counted.

Next t o this the worst bliz ard that t h o Northwest ever experienced occurred J a n u a r y 7, H and '.», 1«73. i n that storm 70 people were frozen to d e a t h and thousands of liollats worth of property destroyed. T h e present storm promisor to be even more terrible in its results. It came without warning. T h e area of unusual cold has beeu general, extending from the extreme northern line of telegraph communication as far south as Texas and the Gulf of Mexico Extreme suffering is reported from all directions, especially 1 Minnesota. Dakota, Montaiia and N braska, whore the greater number of lives have been lost, in Kansas thousands are suffering for want cf both fuel and food, and in some coentie-. aid is need to sa*« many fro n actual starvation. T h e storm, while cf course le s severe in Arkansas, Texas and other southern states, still found the people there unprepared for it, . and U'Uch suffering resulted. C o p s and live stock have every \ here suffered more or less. T h e death list includes strong men and helpless women and children. Farmers have gone from the house to attend to their stock and both men and beasts have perished. Teachers a n d . h e l p l e s s little ones have tried in vain to reach a place of safety, while mothers have gone in search of their little ones only to perish in the frightful blizzard, In Chester, Minn., six school children are among the dead. In many cases the victims have been overcome by the storm and cold when within a few rods of shelter, but owing to the blinding force of the storm were unable to make their way. The reports that come from Western Kansas are appalling. T h e blizzards that rage 1 through that section a few week! ago left the pe >ple In such bad condition that they were unable to stand the severs storm and intense cold, and a large number of deaths from cold and starvation are known to have occurred. A carload of provisions was started from Wichita to Ashland, Clark county, but tho storm stopped the train. It is estimated th* t ;->,IKIO people in Clark county are in a deo* titute condition, and unless immediate r o t lief is adorded tlieni t h e numUir of doathoT will be fearful to contemplate. •,, T h e pustor of the Presbyterian church in . iartland.

T h e c a s u a l t i e s among stock ha?« been greater than ever known in the staU of Kansas. Horses aitd cattle have perished in their stalls and the owners hava been badly fio.eu while tiying to care for them. Some of the stories ef suffering are pathetic in the extreme.

A Complete Surprise. Last Thursday evening at about eight o'clock a sleigh load of nxteen young people could be seen driving to the west at a rapid rate. All went lovely until they started to cross the railroad track nearly a mile out of town, when one of the sleigh runners broke which stopped the pleasant time for a while, but it was not very long before the box was taken from the bobs and the team with a driver started in pursuit of another pair of bobs, which were kindly leaned them by Mr Sheldon Wehh." All this time the remain: der of the party were parading up and down the road trying te keep warm. It took but a very tew minutes to place the box onto the borrowed bobs and the party, was again in motion. After about four miles of travel had been accomplished west and north, the driver hauled up to the home ot Albert Wilson and family, of West Putnam, who were getting ready to retire for the night, but when they observed that they were the, victims ot a surprise, (whtch was a t r u e one) they changed their minds. After the young people warmed themselves Ihey proceeded to make themselves at home by using the rooms for jarames, ,soc.ia [ chat, etc, At! eleyen o'clock the outers which were' —xfcrT^afflphol). ot Pinckne^.^fer-thepast eight months editor of the Disr .

A. D. BKSNETT, Publisher. P1NCKXEY MICH Hi AN The venerable mother o( J a m e s A. Garfield, familiarly known to the country as "Grandma Garfield," is dead. The deceased was eighty-six years old, and had been failing under the increasing infirmities of old age /or several months. She was among the pioneers o" the western reserve of Ohio, and possessed all of the sterling and sturdy qualities that distinguished the early settlers of that once inhospitable region. Being widowed while her children were still young, many years of her life were passed in a hard but patient struggle to maintain her family. She was successful and was amply repaid in seeing all of her children become useful men and women, one attaining the highest station in the gift of the people as the crowning acbie cment of a most honorable career as a soldier and statesman. This most excellent mother was profoundly honored and be oved by her children, and by none more than by her distinguished •Son. who publicly attested his affection before the world, at the time of his inauguration, by kissing in tho presence of the assembled thousands, the aged mother to whoso lovo and care he owed so much The tragic death of President Garfield was a terrible blow to his ven erable mother,' but she bore it with that christian fortitude that had sustained her in many severe trials in earlier years Since that event she has made her home with Mrs. James A. Garfield—now absent in lurope — receiving all the care and devotion that affection could inspire. Tiie gist of Cardinal Manning's recent utterance on socialism is as follows; "All men are bound by natural obligations, if they can, to feed the hungry But it may be said thai granting tho obligation in tho giver does not prove a right in. the receiver To which 1 answer that the obligation to feed the hungry springs from the natural right of every man to lifo, and to the food necessary for the sustenance of life. So strict is this natural right that it prevails over all positive laws of property- Necessity lias no law, and a starving trau lias a natural right to his neigh bor's bread. . • — The Episcopal Bishop Garret of Texas wants clergymen in hisjurisdic tiou.

World. li .YE been or three weeks immersed in a profound attempt to drag my memory out of the mud, with the assistance of ' rof. Loisette, and now I am p r e - pared to wrestle with the art of forgetting. It is astonishing h o w m a n y men i avo poor mem ones. When t h e small and much to "be pitied Mr, Gould was on the stand some timo ago who, was not thrilled wi h sympathy at ins painful but ineffectual efforts to recollect how many millions lie had paid out in transactions which most of us would have remembered exactly. Eager and helpful states • en tried to stimulate his torpid faculties, but in vain and the sad example remained of a noble mind wandering in the fog of doubt, unable to tell an anxious senatorial committee how seventy or e; ghty millions of other moo's money happened to get into his private, pocket and stay there. Messrs. I,eland Stanford andfc. P. Huntington arc equally pathetic examples ot how great men may acquire money arrd- lo*e — t r t n m n r - tmttl vastinterests are wrecked, which they would gladly restore if they could remember how. but an inserutab'e Providence has willed otherwise and thev must abide by the decision. It is a peculiar characteristic of memory that some things are easier to n member than others. Once in New Mexico I pitched camp after night fall and spread my blankets over a largo colony of red and earnest ants. It was a trilling incident, but ! remember it distinctly. On the other hand, 1 have ory an anecdote covering about four large pages of fine p r i n t I forgot the anecdote in two days, tout > am mire if I could only now recall the name 9f the book it was in and study it for a few weeks, \ could recite the list of the Caesars with ease. Another system enabled me to recollect numbers by mean* of rhymes. Suppose I * tinted to remember 4-11-44. All that was necessary was to sit down in some tranquil spot and compose a short poem containing these numbers and them memorize the poem. Afterwards, if I forgot the poem, I could refer to the diary in which i kept it, for it was part of-the system to enter everything in a diary, so as to guard against mistakes. Still another method. for which I gladly paid #4o to a sad and thoughtful gentleman who subsequently died in a violent and mysterious manner, was to weavo the names or ates to be remembered info a st ry and then study the story for several months, after which time, if the memory of tho story was good, the names and dates woven into it could bo recalled with amazing exactness and rapidity. After carefully reasoning upon the subject for a long time, I am convinced that the natural enemy of the ii em ory is forgetful iiess. If a man once permits a fact to slip his mind and re main absent, he is liable to miss it when he wants it in a hurry. Jn this scientific conclusion most of the other eminent authorities concur. The phenomenon of mind wandering, hitherto u n e x p 1 a in ed, seems to me to be mainly due to the failure of tho intellect to remain where it is wanted. For example, if a man goes down town with his wife's bonnet on, unconscious of the low jeers of unsympathie strangers, it is safe for him to assume that he was thinking of something else when he went out. Even a man with a power ' fully fixed mind may make mistakes nit the "hat rack while depart ng from a large gathering, but generally it is some one else who regrets the error.

Concerning many of these women tho world knows much, but of the majority it is ignorant. Tho mother of Louis Agassi/, the 8Scientist, was tho wife of a Swiss P r o t - eslnnt clergyman, and lived to a very old age. Louis was her favorite son, and she trained him with greatest care, Whon . in 1857, Prof, Silliman of Yale College visited her, he found her at four score a "tall, erect and dignified woman,'1 with animated address and cultivated manners. When she was assured by her guest that her son's adopted countr.- loved him and was proud of him, her strong frame was agitated, her vo ce trembled with emotion, and the flowing tears told the story of a mothers heart. The day that Prof. Silliman left she walked a long way in the rain to bid li.m and his wife farewell.

Tho spider's thread is e/ten kndfted, or a minute ball is formed at certain points when it crosses another thread, as in tho oase of the garben spider's geometrical wob, with its numerous concentric rings, or, more properly, spiral r i n g s . . Tho object of those knots or balls at the points of crossing is to prevent them from slipping by binding them together, and, at the same time, strengthening the wob and enabling it to hold more securely its prey. An emiuent entomologist, who made spiders aud kindred insects' a specialty, counted 120,000 of these knots in a web of liftoon inches in diameter. It is a very remarkably fact that the threads of concentric or spiral portions of tho webs aro quite different in quality. To explain, the spider has throe different sacks holding the viscid or sticky lluid from which the threads aro made. Connected with those are three separate spinorots, or sets of tubes. each one spinning its own peculiar thread. One of these sets furnishes the stronger threads, called In natural history rad'ri, that branches out from the neuter like the spokes of a wheel, and it also spins the stronger cable that anchors the entire web and keeps it firmly fixed, It is a curious fact that while all the circling threads are very sticky these radii are not so at all. Anything touching them does not adhere. Being so strong, perhaps they would hold too large a prey, something so largo that tho spider could not well manage it or something that might injure the web in its weaker parts Why this threat number ef threads, you will naturally ask, and why can thev be so rapidly formed as we have seen? The number is necessery for size as _yyejd ja^^treiijjth. J.o oatch amL hold seeiireiy the prev that is entangled iu its _meshes. Anyone observing a spider has seen how rap dly it can envelope or completely enwrap, iu a silken net his victim so as to render it perfectly helpless. Threo thousand threads enable it lo do it. aided by tho wonderfully formed claws on its hind feet, and also its powers of rapid spinning gives it tho capacity to weave a wcA) of sixteen inches in diameter in forty-live minutes. The silk worm and eaterpiltar have no need of doinu; .such rapid work, and hence they spin their ^ g l e threads slowly, it bomg unnecessary, perhaps, to give time for the gummy substance, of which t heir silken threads are made, to harden aud thus acquire the proper si reugt.li. A curious fact is that the silkworm's sack that holds this gummy substance has, at the extreme of the opening, a single tube that is much harder and more horn-like than the .tubes of the spider's spinerets, because there is a • greater strain upon ' it, :n spinning a thicker and stronger thread. There are spiders also m the, sea which spin their webs an I spread them out to catch minute marine insecls very much as those do to catch their prev on laud. We see. also, a merciful provision of the Creator for shortening the sufferings of the injects caught, in the /Spider's webs.

KHCTT, EDITOR MP PROPRIETOR. Placcaey, Michigan. Tnursaay Jeb. 3, IBS, Bough OB the Detroit Journal. T H * Wayne CJounty Courier "ffoea for" the Detroit Evening J ournal in the following style: "There was a time, and not so very long ago, either, when the Detroit News was without an equal in the Detroit evening journalistic field, la fact, it is questionable whether the News did not occupy the leading place over all newspapers in Detroit. By some strange fatuity on the part of the management of that paper, however, it has been gradually falling from its high estate, and consequently in the estimation of the public, while its young rival, the Journal, has ascended into the envied posiition so long held by the News. The Journal has now a stag of writers equal to any doing good work in the country. Every department is carefullv supervised, and the paper is conducted upon an advanced plan ot enterprise without a parallel in Detroit. The public can Appreciate a good thing when they find it, which is fully evidenced by the upward bounds taken by the Journal^ circulation. A clear or more wholesome sheet could not be taken into a a family." Saturday's issue (double size) of the Detroit Evening Journal by mail, one year, $1.00, or every day $5.00, cash with order.

Among the bills passed by Congress ra that time, I will name the act in regaid to'permissible writing and printing on third and iourth class mail bill was constitutional? The Judge promptly replied, "It is my opinion that it is unconstitutional, and this I believe to be the opiuion of the present bench," The above they obtained irom a student ot the law school; not wishing to make any mistake m the matter, your correspondent proceeded to the residence ot ex-Justice Strong, finding him at home. He was asked "Is it true that you gave an opinion before the Columbia Law School against the constitutionality ot the Blair bill?" His answer was "I did say that it was my opinion that the measure was unconstitvtional, But it was in reply to a question a n d n o t as part ot my lecture. I had no intention or thp"<fht that my remarks would become public property, or I would not have given an opinion. Ever since I retired from the bercli, it has been my fixed principle never to give publicity to an opinion on any matter before the Supreme Court, and I shall not depart from it. I am constantly in consultation and intercourse I with members of the bench, and my opinion on questions before the court is frequently asked by the judges, but I never vary from the determination taken when I left the btuch. If I were a Congressman, I might feel more at liberty to discus tKo Blair bill and kindred measures, but 1 am not. I believe in a strict construction of the constitution." The above opinion from Jud^e Strong is undoubtedly a heavy handicap for the Blair bill to carry, for in all probability the Judge but voiced the opinion of a majority of the Supreme Court. What effect it will have on the us of the Blair bill In Congress, it is impossible to say at this time -, but it favorable to that MANN BROTHERS WANT YOUR Brand Trunk Railway Time Table.

Senator 1'almer addrta-ed the senate on Imuiigration the other day. l l e m a . e an excellent and logical argument in favor of his bill, and there is every probability that tt will pass the senate. lie disclaimed any Intention to prevent any capable, honest, industrious, lawabiding person from teeming a home on American soil. If it was desired tl.at the American workingman should retain his superiority over the uuderpaid laborer of Europe, such obstacles would have to be interposed from time to time a-i would deter the Influx of those who Wiuld degrade American labor by undue competition. Much had been done for the t'nited btates and for American labmers and artisans by the duties imposed on foreign manuluctured goods, but that very process had stimulated immigration, although in the main benoticieut, now threatened, if e utinued without selecti%, to aggravate existing evils and to lower the standard of the American people by lowering the wa^es of those wiio toiled, iso that it was absolutely essential to scrutinize with care not only the existing factors, but those which Wv're being constantly injected into the nate nul life. initial steps had been taken in excluding a lace not homogeneous; and waa it not advisable to select the most desirable from the Aryan races instead of welcoming the dregs with the wine,' Political economists dillered. widely as to the capital value of immigrants; 1 ut taking the estimate of . Mr. Edward Young, former chief of the bureau of statistics, as correct, the immigrants that had co.i.c to this country had contributed $12,0^0,000,000 to its wealth. Hut. vast as had been this contribution to the nation's wealth, it by no means measured the proportionate value of immigration in the total which represented the civilization, prosperity and power oi' the country. Immigrants had dug its canals, built its railroads, burrowed in its mines and had reclaimed and made fruitful its wildernesses. Some of them had 1 oen eminent in statesmanship, commerce, scieuce, invention, education, art, literature and morals, and many of then, when the life of the government was .Wailed by internal foes, had consecrated their lives and fortunes to its defense. Theie was no present numerical reason for prohibiting the -inilux-.of immigrants except possibly the crowding of the labor market. But an undue and oppressive competition in wages was being felt at industrial centers; the public institutions were being overtaxed, and worst of all there was a growth of clas-es, un-American and hard of asimilation. which menaced the public peace and threatened to overturn all cstablisiie i law and u>age. A conviction was growing tnattbe country with its sixty million people and its fifty billion dollars has passed beyond the need 01' immigration and that it was time to go out oi the ' asylum" business, time to 1 ease be a dumping ground for the vicious, delinquent human product of other nations. The object of this bill was to provide for the exclusion of dependent, delinquent and dangerous chisses through an inspection and investigation in their own countries, instead of at the ports o: entry, and to et'i'e t this with the least I ossibie hardship or inconvenience to desirable immigrants. • Mr. * -aimer quoted extensively from the Tinted States consular reports to show the undesirable character of large classes of immigrants from Europe; referred to the Chicago riot a s a i e s u l t o f the introduction -'t anarchists and their teachings, and concluded by saying that while this bill was not all that could bo desired, it was a step in the right directh n. It would make the evasion of the existing laws on the subject more difficult, and would compel what was demanded by the onliyhtene 1 sentiment of the American people, a moral quarantine. i'ostmnster General Dickinson has i sued an order setting forth what may be written or printed on third and fourth class matter. The restrictions as to writing u]Ton mattex-of tht»- third -and- fourth classes are substan ially the same as under the old law; but in general all restrictions as to pr.ntlng-on these two classes arc removed, except a-> to the reservation ( f space necessary for addressing the matter and the placing thereon of postage stamps.

From her small ears / h u n g r u r c enamels iu the quaint setting of tbe Renaissance. The brooch that fastened her dress was a fleurde-lis fashioned of pearls, evidently an heirloom; and as she g a t h e r e d up her skirts to step into the omnibus, a flounce of rich luce fell over th>! slender foot. There were no other passengers, and t h e blue-bloused conductor, hat in hand, stood by t h e door awaiting instructions. So self-absorbed, however, was tbe lady, that she did not notice his presence, and he was obliged at last to aak her destination. Slightly coloring, and with the air.of one aroused from a deep reverie, she made reply : "Drive me, if you please, to the P r o t e s t a n t parsonage." T b e u t h « door w a s s l a m m e d to* and the )ips were on a level with his rou^h hand.

Once or twice, when the horses slackened speed, and she t h o u g h t it was time to alight, her bettor went and came, she trembled violently W<t.4tew a deep b r e a t h ; but when indeed th« wMWa stood still, by a tremendous cilort sha/ recovered self-possession. Erect and proud, mK without a certain natural h a u t e u r , she now .scanned the parsonage before ringing • the bell. The humble aspect of the place showed t h a t the reformed faith was not in the ascendant hereabouts. The pastor's h o m e was a neat, whitewashed, two-storied structure, standing sideways by the roiul; abutting on it v a s a small building of almost similar pattern, which did duty us church and school in one; shut off from the street by a high iron railing and gate was a long, narrow strip of tlower, fruit and vegetable garden, Nothing could bo plainer, homelier, more primitive, yet no signs of abject poverty met the eye. The garden was in good order. The bricked court iu front of the church was cleanly swept; the house from top to bottom had a cared-f or look. It was evident that the occupant had been accustomed to rigid economy, at the _ saiiaiJimiLio.decungy..and order. $ The latch of the garden gate yielded to her hand, and the intruder now found herself at the house door, opened—as in the fashion iu these parts—from ubove. No sooinyj, therefore, bad she touched Die bell than the door flew back and she saw that, she was expected to ascend the staircase. On the ground floor• were only storerooms and wash houses; kitchen, parlor and bedchambers evidently ? occupied the second story. And having mounted, henring, seeing no one, a second time she was compelled to announce her coming. The landing-place was dark; she tapped gently at the nearest door. " i s t h e pastor Anvillc within.''1 site a s k e d — without looking up. Her voice did not tremble b u t It was iu a strained key. She had turned very pale, and was evidently asking herself whether indeed she,had courage to fulfill her errand. "The pastor Anville J—I am he," was the reply, spoken briefly and absently. The minister had evidently been d i s t u r b e d i n t h e midst of serious occupation, and had not so much as given himself time to Identify his intruder. T h u s much was clear, a lady waited on his threshold, he felt, bound to invite her within. He was a striking-looking man, in middlelife, that is to say, in his prime. But for the habiliments of a Protestant pastor ho must have been at once taken for a Catholic priest. The priestly stamp was undoubtedly there— \ A * flM features closely shaven, the penctra- I UbfT look, t h e general aspect, recalled r a t h e r ifcedtoJpUae of Loyola than of Calvin; and, atfjMtttba? the crown of the head showed . liiMJwtaJkaJble signs of the t o n s u r e ! z-7&$ 1Mb no meanly -endowed -son of Adam, quite the reverse; b u t for all that, an observer would single him out of a crowd by reason of intellectual r a t h e r t h a n physical superiority. T h e noble brow, the commanding look marked hlru from others. He ought to have occupied one of the. metropolitan pulpits of the world. Such a mau could be a force, moral as well as spiritual a mighty lever of h u m a n wills and passions, a powerful ^ s e n t in the strife of good with evil. Blight sunshine filled tyio little study in which the fylr now stood face to face. The lady had raised her veil, hor fair gold-brown bale paught t h e s u n l i g h t The place seemed Minted by her seuslvc yet sunny beauty. ••Bo yon recognlae m e n o w ?

" For a brief moment he bad seemed to stagger, shrinking from t h a t exquisite preHenee; but, just as she had done a m o m e n t before, by a violent effort be now regained his selfcomposure. Otf .'ring her & scat, the pastor placed a chair for himself opposite her own, then closed tbe door, evidently prepared four confidence. " Y o u have come to me in come trouble or perplexity—that I s e e , " he begat), smiling faintly. "And you are aware of in/ altered clrcunistaucea As a friend, us a minister of tbe gospel, I am ready to advise, perhaps able to comfort; t h e priest, the confessor, th« absolver, you know well, have ceased to e x i s t . " " I know it," was t h e timid, girlishly heelluting reply. Yet tbe beautiful speaker could hardly be called a girl. She was iu the flower of womanhood, not iu its openiug bud, aud had certainly passed her 30th year. " I should have come to you long a g o , " she continued, " b u t my courage failed m e . " ''Then she broke off suddenly, as if c o u r a g e failed her still. A lovely blush tlugud bur cheeks, tears glistened on t h e long eyelashes A sudden light seemed to break upon his mind.

"You, too," he said, " G e o r c c t t c de Beaumont, daughter of one of the most ancient houses of Catholic France, you also have forsaken the faith of your fathers* Is it possible t h a t you are a P r o t e s t a n t now, like mys e l f l " " I am a Catholic still," was t h e passionate, reckless answer. "But I a m alone in the world. My apostasy could pain none I love. Only say the word, and I place my conscience in your k e e p i n g . " ' ' O h , " he cried, In a voice deeply moved; he was evidently w r u n g to the heart by this confession, implying, as it did, an empty woman's life, a hungry heart, an unsatisfied soul. "Oh! leave these rude conflicts to minds of tougher t e x t u r e ; these dire problems to theologians, and rest content yourself to be good and h a p p y . " The words were u t t e r e d with deep feeling, almost impassioned tenderness, and neither knew how it was. She h a d slipped from her chair to the side of his own, aud was kneeling there, kneeling to him as she had done many a n d many a time years ago in the confessional. The fair head, with its coronet ol golden hair, was uplifted to his, 'the swe shrinking, all tevroi; all hesitancy liadTeftli'eF now. The supreme m o m e n t was come, she felt entirely mistress of herself, able to u t t e r the inmost thought of her heart. "You b'd me be good and h a p p y , " she said. " T h e r e /s only one way. May i tell you what, that way is? May I confess to you, as in t h e old days}" He 6iniled then, a sheltering, encouraging smile, much as if she were some b e w i t c h i n g child fleeing to him from chimerical, terrors. To bis thinking, she was still the sunny, sparking, frolicsome G e o r g e t t e of old, no soulless (Jeorgetdo certainly, but a worldling from the cradle, the spoiled darling of a noble house, the heires:; of one of the handsomest fortunes in France, rebuked by him, punished by him in the confessional, for childish shortcomings in m a t t e r s of religious duty, years ago. That smile, sad although it was, wonderfully Irradiated his dark physiognomy. It brought back to George! t.'-'s mind hi.-, former self. He seemed to her what lie hud ever been. Shc-kirtsw not. indeed of (he change, o u t w a r d n« well as spiritual, t i n t h a d come over him during these intervening years. For the caustic yet benignant abbe, the consumate man Of the world, the tlerv d i s p u t a n t , the mighty orator, all these belonged to a bygone tone. Pastor Anville's friends and small congregation were only familiar with an over-conscientious, laborious and learned minister of the gospel. His real, his bent stdf Mas perforce concealed from the simple townsfolk. And onlv here and there was the fact realized that the Prot- Aguln he flinched. Her words h a d s t r u c k ll.'.ne. "I saw through the veil," site c o n t i n u e d ; ' y o u played with women's intellect as with toys; tijoiosclves you did n o t despise.

" She paused for a moment, as if t o g a t h e r ficnb courage und self-reliance, then w e n t on in quicker, more fervid tones.

Again a l i g h t nsof sudden conviction seemed to break upon his mind, but this time of no impersonal n a t u r e ; it was a couvictiou t h a t had to do with him as well as with her. l i e Hushed, turned pate, made an effort to speak, but failed, t h e words stayed on his faltering lips.

" I resented it then. You seemed more cruel to me than that awful storm, more cruel than life, but you could not help yourself.

A.t t b e farther end, u n d e r th sbadow of a lofty plane tree, was a deal table und by it stood a patient-faced woman evidently belonging to the peasant class, busily ironing, jioincly was her appearance, It was nevertheless not without a certain dignity and pathos. She looked so absorbed in the business of ironing, so forgetful of self, so lost t o a seusc of everything b u t the mutter-of-fact, prosaic task before her. '•You see yonder poor good w o m a n , " the pastor said, as t h e pair t h u s watched t h e unconscious h g u r e from tbe window, "f loved another, whose story you have just told. But the first of my new life, aud newly a w a k e n e d coulcience, was t o atone to her I had wronged in my y o u t h . " And romance bad now surely knocked at that parsonage door for the first, last time. With b u r n i n g tears, a hand-clasp, a whispered word, und one long, lingering gaze into each other's eyes, the t w o parted,—who shall say over to meet a g a i n ? Strange as it would seem at first sight, this fateful meeting little affected the tenor of Hieir o u t w a r d lives. I t was as if all t h e daring, all the heroism, all tbe force of these two characters had beeu already s p e n t ; by Qeorgette de Beaumont upon t h e initiative tjmt had been t h e one truly line act of her life; b.- t h e pastor, upon the two fold sacrifice made for ponaclence' sake. He h a d suddenly found himself a t the parting of the ways; on the one hand, beckoned worldly fortune, the esteem of the great, a c o m m a n d i n g social position; on the other, poverty, scorn, an abnormal condition, but, coupled with these, a j conscience at rest. Then came t h e second j choice. He m i g h t make material a t o n e m e n t to the peasaut girl he had wronged years be fore. He might then, having dismissed this subject of self-reproach, think of t h e fireside happiness no lunger denied him, aud even dream of (1 jorgette, the- beautiful Georgette! Once the straight path taken, the t e m p t i u g traverse lost sight of forever, he seemed to loose ah ambition, all enterprise, even all capacity of looking forward. Again and again after t h a t interview Georgette tried to rouse him from his lethargy, and entice him from the dead-alive country town in which he was lost to the world. She penned kind matter-of-fact little notes, 6ucb notes as any rich woman may write to a poor clergyman, m a k i n g one proposal after another. Now she wrote word that a church was on the point of being built, and endowed I for him, in Paris, a parsonage-bouse should be added; be must accept. Aud when that proposal was calmly and sadly rejected, came auother. Why, then, would he not go to E n g l a n d and settle himself a m o n g t h e French Protestants of Loudon J A large following surely a waited., him there, and rich s u p p o r t e r s of the Reformed faith were ready to do for him what had been proposed iu Paris. He should have his own church and ample m e a n s of extending its usefulness. To all these overtures the pastor made the same reply. He t h a n k e d his &weet benefactress, he was overwhelmed with a sense of her goodness, but he was too old to change his mode of life a second time. T h a t was howhe put it, and indeed and in truth, this man, although still in his prime, felt the Inertia a n d the sfiiritJessuess of age. His splendid mental powers were allowed to wear out unused. A weekly sermon to a scant congregation, the occasional task of winning over some rustic inquirer to the: new.faith, the supervision of a small school, baptisms, burials, such were the duties of one wh > might have risen to the highest position in any church. Yet he seemed not unhappy, rather passive and a u t o m a t i c as if the strings of passion and action were stopped forever, brought to a standstill by some rude shock. It was the same with Georgette. After t h a t journe,- to the parsonage amid the v nes, she returned whither she had come, and continued to live in the world. Again rind again suitors demanded her hand, but she steadfastly refused to marry. With a little more determination or character, a broader intellectual horizon, she,-might have won for herself a conspicuous social position.

ELECTRICITY IS apparently to become the executioner of the future. Tb4* commission appointed by the New York legislature in 1886 to make inquiries and report as to ''the most humane and practical method" for the execution of criminals convicted of capital crimes, has submitted a report to the legislature of that state now in session. The method recommended is the killing of the doomed culperits by an electric shock. It is instantaneous, absolutely certain, and entirely painless.— fix. THE "silent army of deaf soldiers, sailors and marines" is in the field with a powerful petition to Congress for a just and equitable law giving pensions to the class they represent upon the same basis as pensions are awarded to sufferers from other disabilities. The fignres they give show that the rating of disability for deaktess is out of all proporto&n to tha^t for disability from other causes—the rate fot' total loss of hearing inJ)oth ears being less than" that for loss ""of thumb or index finger on one hama.' -The petition makes a very interesting showing as to the number of sufferers from deafness, the nature of the affliction and its causes, and a strong,showing as to the justice of the amendment urged. Washington letter. *Pr*m Our Correspondent. * WASHINGTON, JAN. 9th, 1883. Both branches of Cbngress took a •tlay off last week. Neither the Senate nor House of representatives were in session on Saturday. This act was not necessarily the result of laziness however. The real work of Congress is done in the committee rooms, you know, and tho Congressional Committee* are always at work, whether Congress is in session or taking a holiday. I will give you a resume of what has been done during the week by mentioning the subject of bills which the committees have had under consideration. They include the bill appropriating money for the relief of the Union National Bank ot Louisiana: the Senate bill tor a bridge over the MiFsonri River at St. Charles, a id the House bill (or a bridge over the sanK liver at Jefferson City; the Dnnn Free Ship bill; Indian bills; Pacific Railroad matters; the bill to repair the war ship Hartford by an appropriation of $175,000; the bill accepting the infdret it was supposed that the bill wonld be allowed to remain unacted upon, but owning to the recent agitation it has been deemed best to give the Senate an opportunity to act on the question, although a majority of the Committee is adverse to such legislation. President Cleveland has now been in Washington nearly three years, and during all that time, so far as is known he has taken but one walk on the street—a stroll, in company with Secretary Fairchild, one evening last week, from the White House to West Washington (as old Georgetown is now called) and return. This event, trom its rareness, w^as of so mneh importance, that the city press gave it con* spicious mention. Presidents Grant, Hayes. GarfieJd and Arthur were pedestrains, and often walked the principal streets of the Capital, their figures being tarailiar to the public, but President Cleveland, with the above solitary exception, has not been seen outside of the White House grounds except in his carriage. Whether this seclusion on the part of the Chief Magistrate ot sixty million Americans is due to a desire to avoid contract with the common people, or whether it is for some personal reason your correspondent is unable to tell. The present House of Representatives is very much given to filibustering, it already having been resorted to on three occasions—the last tune under the lead ot Mr. Randall, who consumed the time of that body in frivolous motions to nrevent the passage of a resolution reported by the Chairman of the committee on public buildings and grounds, to set apart a day for the introduction of the bills-of his committee In the House there appears to be a general desire to make liberal appropriations for the erection of public buildings in all portions of the country. Atter an interesting discussion, the bill giving the window ot General John A.. Logan a pension of $2,000 a year passed the Senate by a vote of 55 to 1, and the bill increasing the pension of the widow of General frank P .

They are of enormous size, and the sculpture is elaborate and in perfect preservation. Upon one of them alone are eighteen almost detached statues, about three feet in height, without a single scratch, and of pure marble. The most remarkable of them has just come to li^ht recently.

VV7hat if he should be Ethbaal, "King of the Zidonians" and father of Jezebel, or some older king who flourished in the earlier days of "Great Zidon?" It is more than probable t h a t he was a royal or princely character. The value of this enormous find Is roughly estimated as approaching a sum not far from $800,000. One of the European consuls in Beirut has offered S2o,000 for one of the sarcophagi. It was not accepted, and the Turkish government are boxinq the entire lot, and have sent a special steamer t o transport them to Constantinople. The discovery of the sarcophagus of Ashmunazer, in 1855, iuat oucside of Sidon was regarded as an important event. It also h a d ' a Phoenician inscription of twenty-two lines, and several interesting d a t a were gathered from it. This is a far more marvelous and magnificent upturning of old Sidonian remains.

PINCKNEY : MICHIGAN N- Tho question of \olygumy is agitating tho kingdom of Norway and Sweden to such an extent as to threaten civil war. The nation is divided into two hostile camps, one of which, composed of liberals, is fighting in favor of the adoption of polygamy, while the conservatives, who are in tho minority, are strongly opposed to any question o* plurality of wives. Strange to say, tho women of Scandinavia have all ranged theni-;cly»s under the liberal banner, a n d o m r o f tho most euuue^t divines, a M Nissen, who is president of the national temperance union, has placed himself at the head ot the crusade. The movement, s a distinctly popular one, and has already become so deep routed and universal that the government finds itself u u a b « to stem it. King Oscar attempted to show his disapproval by withdrawing a subscription from his private purse to a student corporation at Stockholm which has ranged itself underM. Nisseu's banner. ^•0 great was the outcry, however throughout the country, that tho king was forced to continue his subscription. The leaders of the polygamist forces assert that, in proportion as civilization has advanced, the capacity for the pro creation of the Imman race has diminished, and they claim t h a t nothing but ' a plurality of wives can save humanity from eventual extinction. Meanwhile Scandinavia is flooded with literature professedly bearing on the subject, and of the most realistic nature. It is, says "The Baptist "Weekly/' only seven years this month since at Portland Maine, the Rev. Dr. E.K Clark established in the WilTston church of which he was pastor,'a 'Societyof ChristtaTi_ ^ndeKTor' amonjr the young people of^his Hock. The object was no different in any of its essential features- from other organizations of young church members for mutual help in tho development of characjtdr and usefulness as christians. Yet^lt appears to have been the foundation of an organization whose ra nirioations have in these few years spread over the continent and reached to other lands. To-day there are about ;V>(H> societies of Christian Endeavor, in :is many different congregations, and calls have come for the translation of the constitution and other literature in several fore gu languages; the society is taking root in Croat Britain and in missionary lands. Ah Syce, secretary of a society in the Baptist mission in Burmah, writes that tho society is as conspicuously successful in India as in America. Over 250 MM) members are enrolled, and tho number is rapidly increasing. ^ ,-- Since the enactment of the Passenger Act in 1819, and up to October I. 1887, the number of actual immigrants into America was 14,266,760. Of these £, 427,534 have arrived since the war was ended. Undoubtedly our foreign population has been a source of wealth and strength to the Union. According to commonly accepted authorities their cash v a n e upon landing cannot be fixed at less than «15,000,000,00 >. They have taken a great part in the country's progresivc march, and most of them are full of American spirit. Yet in spite of this fact.isn'tittime to call a halt.and k^eepout the horde of semi-barbarians constantly coming to our shores, who care nothing for law or h u m a n rights who are devoid of all honorable anibi tion, willing to work for a mere pitanco and content to live after a fashion, cheap and filthy enough to disgust a dog. The result of this dark tide among us]is partially disclosed by the last census returns, which showed that they constituted nearly one-haif tho population of the houses of correction, more than one fourth of the insane, nearly one fourth ot Uie hat>iuial i riminals, »nd more than a third of the paupers. A wink from the czar or a sneeze from Bismarck nowadays is sutlicient to set alloat columns of rumors that peace or war in Eurgpe is imminent. But Americans needn't look for any serious trouble unt.l big dailies begin sending over their war correspondents. Then look out for the fun to begin. So says an old campaigner. — "• m< The supreme court of Georgia has just rendered a decision which is of interest in other statos.

Oatmeal at Home ar^d Abroad I In making oatmeal porridge, tho njeulis stirred into boil'jtig water with aj porridge stick, W I ^ I Q the water is kept,all the time al ;A brisk boil. Care should bo taken to, prevent the meal from forming kr,0 ta, as it will do if dropped into t ^ e water in too large quantities. T.ho bust wav is to take n handful of t]ne meal and let it (hop into tho rocop'.nclo by the rubbing of the thumb ngainsl the lingers. At lirst tho water, will show ebulltou or boiling up SOOIA after the meal begins to go into it. und this wili Ue kept up until about tho time when enough of the meal has been added. Fine meal is more likely to knot than the coarse meal. It takes experience to tell when just tho amount of meal needed has been used, tho thickness of tho porridge b o n g tho lest. No measurement of water and meal will do. The o a t m e a l miiy be stirred in cold water before cooking,'' but this makes m o r e labor, and tho cooking is not so well done ns in the other way. But if Die cold wat er mixing is resorted to. tho meal should bo ground lo the tinest Hour. If any other meal is mixed with oatmeal, us is sometimes done, rice meat is regarded as the best, though barley, beau, pea and wheat meals may be used. Only a small quantity of the rice tueal should be used, but stra'ght oatmeal would be preferred by the true lover of this cereal. Acidity is developed when oatmeal is soaked in water for a few days, and this meal makes the "flummery" of the oatmeal districts of England,' Scotland and Ireleud. Milk is used instead of water in making mill porridge; less meal is required, but more water. Ale is also used in place of water. Porridge is eaten mixed with milk, and in tin* old countries, with boer. Cane syrup and butter afo also used. In making "water brose," boiling water is poure_d_ on a handful of oatmeal in a bow), until the mess is of the thickness of porridge, ami then -?omo new milk is poured in. This is to pe eaten immediately. Bro/e meal should be kiln ^1 r^ed and coarse. The art of making this dish lies in making Lho boiling water fully surround each partieli) of meal at the lirst pouring. Milk brose is made by using boiling milk; less meal is used than in water brose, and about twice as much milk as water. In pouring tho boiling: liquid upon either water or milk brose, tho meal is stirred to give it immediate cooking. Whon the liquid in which beef or mutton is boiled is used, beef or mutton broso is made, and even turnip and cabbago water is used. White pudding is made of oatmeal with which minced suet and onions have been mixed, salt and pepper being used to taste. This may ba done in a saucepan, but the in.xture is moro commonly stuffed into small' intestines, cut into lengths of a foot or so, tied at both ends, and boiled in a pot. It will keep for a year. Finally the water in which it is boded is used in making pudding brose, that nothing may bo lost. Titeso are tho ways in which oatmeal is cooked in "auld Scotland.'' — Good Housekeeping. He Had Been There. A young man applied to Senator Edmunds for some money to enable him to get back to his homo in Vermont. Being unknown to Mr. Edmunds, tho senator addessed him as follows: "How do I know that you livo in Vermont? You might como from Texas for all that I know."

Tho boy replied that the people he didn't know were not worth knowing "Well, then," said the senator, "tell me the name of the fat old man who peddles milk about town." "Ho isn't fat, and he isn't old," answered tho youngster, doggedly. "His linrao is 'Skinny' Eccles." The faintest J o r t of a smile..lit up tho Vermont sen n tor's stern features. Turning to his clerk, he said: "Give him the money. There's no doubting the boy's honesty;" and then ho added, with a chuckle, as he turned to reenter the chamber, " 'Skinny' Eccles! Well, welt!

TOO MUCH CO-OPERATION. It was Cettie who s t a r t e d it. She h a s always been a trifle ultra in her views, and this tendency seemed t o increase after our marriage—or perh a p s [ only noticed it the more. The hou.se was large, t o bo sure, a n d so much of it on the ground; one can s t a n d a great house up and down, for then you can keep cozy on one floor andJiinore the rest, but whon it.spreads out like a b a n y a n tree, with rooms to the right a n d left of you, all echoing and empty, itis uncanny. I remember well the evening Cettine proposed ft; It /was the girl'd "night o u t , " and I had b^en called suddenly away for an hour or two, after 8 o'clock. I returned to find my wife bolt upright in the stiffest chair in the room, with staring eyes, blanched cheeks and quivering lips. She pounced—yos, pounced—upon me a t once, broke into a passion of sobs, and clutched my neck in a smothering embrace., 1 gently disengaged myself and asked in as soothing a tone as I could command: " W h a t is the m a t t e r , d e a r ? " " M a t t e r [snitl-anilT], y o u ' d better ask j d e e p s o b j . I'll never tftay alone in this house again as long as I live— never, Tracy Tupper, never!" "But, my dear—" "I say, Tracy Tupper, I never will!" When Cettie takes t h a t tone there is no use arguing, so I meekly remarked: "We'll try not to let it happen again,- love, but it certainly seemejd unavoidable this-evening. Tell me, dear, w h a t frightened y o u ? " "Tracy, I can't! 'Twas just the feeling—so creepy and horrid—and those slow, creaking noises, up stairs and down, like ghostly footsteps, and I was sure I saw eyes a t t h a t glass d o o r into your den." "All nonsense, dear—mere nerves, nothing more. I wish t h a t you could have some friends here of evenings, though, when I m u s t be away. We wouldn't neither of us be willing to sell the old homestead, b u t it certainly is worlds t o large for us. It ought t o be all inhabited." "Tracy, it is?" (My little wife's voice and eyes were tracic in their solemnity.) "Every house is full; if n o t of living people, of something else, They just run riot in this house!" "Cettie, how a b s u r d ! " "And oh! Tracy, I've such a fine plan, if you'd jCHily consent! It would ue HO delightfully joliy!" And then she sprung it upon me. And it seemed so plausible, on tho face of itr t h a t it was impossible for me t o refuse. The McCarty brothers with their wives were a b o u t t o be turned out of doors, a s it were, by the sudden death of their landlady; while the Pick-sons were obliged to give up housekeeping on account of the m a d a m ' s poor^kealtj). T h a t would make four cp-tfples of u \ . all young a n d ail a t present childless; the best of lriends, a congenial, liberal-minded, sociable little crowd. Sam McOarty, the oldest, was a fat, jolly fellow ol .'So with a black-eyed wife, just rounding the half-way corner; while Bob, only LNJ,had brought home the daintiest bit ol girlish w o m a n h o o d we had st-en in m a n y a d a y . My old chum, Will Dickson, was the best Ptory-teher in,the s t a t e , with a dumplin. g of a wife— well, you know Cettie a n d me. The plan t o o k a t once; men a n d women all agreed t o co-operate. We hired as housekeeper an excellent w o m a n whom Cettie h a d known for years, and gave her oversight of t h e whole establishment. She was t o select her own s e r v a n t s (two besides the laundress), a n d to d o t h e m a r k e t - ing, each couple paying a fourth of t h e expenses, a n d each lady ordering t h e meals, week a n d week a b o u t . There were rooms enough on t h e two Hoors for each t o h a v e a suite besides the general phrlor ajnd tho " s q u a r e , " a s we had a l w a y s called it, which merits a description by itself. It was t h e well of t h e great oldfttbhione/ 1 s q u a r e stairway, iust back of t h e main hall, and was lighted only by t h e d o m e - s h a p t d skylight far a b o v e , except in* the cool weather, when the great open tire opposite t h e portiere, which s h u t it. in from the main hall, m a d e it the brightest snuggery imaginable. Here the chairs were all easy, the small tables conveniently placed, with their pilus of publications ready for a n y lounger; and here we met for gossip after meals, for the mail in t h e »jiorning a n d for the games or music a t night. Being so s h u t in by surrounding r o o m s no hint of s t o r m or change seemed t o invade its privacy, a n d a snug, safe feeling pervaded t h e whole place. F o r a time o u r household machinery r a n a s if iu oiled grooves—our t a b l e was exquisitely furnished a n d served, while all were pleased with their r o o m s a n d with each other. We acted charades, played "progressive euchre ,''" read aloud, sang, and, in fact, did everything but quarrel. The r o o m s Cettie h a d reserved for o u r usii opened into t h e " s q u a r e " from the left, those of t h e Dicksons from t h e right, and this p r o x i m i t y sei ved t o cement more closely our old friendship. Day after d a y the little women talked, sewed a n d d r e a m e d together, as women will, a n d m a n y of the tiny articles they m a d e were cut from the same material a n d fashioned after t h e same p a t t e r n s , while Will and I came and went, like b r o t h e r s . It was a bit of l-Men descended t o the nineteenth century—but alas! alas!— for the serpent!

A, little later Cettie's nurse entered, and, going through the same ceremony,deposited our treasure in a comfortable chair, which happened to be exactly like tho other. Still l a t e r , the two d o c t o r s , wirlithe new made papas, came in for a look a t the wonderful little creatures, and, the better to see them, wheeled the ("hairs close t o the fire, talked them over a bit, ami pushed t h e m back again, after the usual careless fashion of mankind, then left the room. When I, shortly after, returned alone, it was to find Mrs. Dickson's nurse standing irresolute between t h e two chairs which contained our hopes, a perplexed, almost wild, look upon her face, which grew into actual cons t e r n a t i o n as I entered. W h a t could have happened! I asked the question breathlessly, a n d she answered with a nervous laugh. "Tho^babies—somebody h a s changed the chairs, I think. Which one— this is yours, i s u ' t ' i t ? " "VVhy, yes, I—that is"—I echoed her nervous laugh—''where did you p u t y o u r baby, a n y h o w ? " " T h a t ' s what I c a n ' t seem t o remember; you see, these chairs are exactly alike, and J was in such a hurry! Besides, both have been moved from where they s t o o d . " A strange thrill crept, down my back. 1 stepped closer, and, uncovering the wee faces, gazed a t them i n t e n t l y . Would no lurking likeness, no family feature, no fatherly instinct avail me now? Not one!—to me they seemed a s much alike as two leaves on a bush, and I looked up helplessly, only t o meet,her brows c o n t r a c t e d in a perplexed frown. Then a bright t h o u g h t came t o me.. " W h y of course; y o u can tell t h e m by t h e c k t h e s , Mrs. H a r t ! " She shook her head a n d explained. Alas! those misguided little m o t h e r s , thinking it would be " s o cute,*" h a d m a d e their first clothes precisely alike, from shirt t o blankets. I dropped into a chair; cold perspira t i o n s t a r t e d from every pore. • Here was a case where even motherlove could not avail, for neither of t h e new-mot hers had yet seeiy her child. W h a t could wb do? " D o n ' t , " I gasped, " d o n ' t for the love of heaven! tell o u r wives 'twould kill them!" Then I rushed o u t t o find Will a n d i m p a r t the awful intelligence. Meanwhile Mrs. H a r t had summoned Cettie's nurse and the four ot us soon s t o o d over those helpless babies vainly endeavoring t o settle their future fate. 1'looked ni Will, and he looked a t me; he was pate, and I felt so. One of those infants was his; one was mine —hut which? We stepped aside and talked it over, while the nurses whispered by the fireside. Neither of us a r e gamesters, or betting men. Vet here was a case t h a t we must decide by chance. Revolting as it m a y seem to all who h a v e never been iu a lik- dilemma, we agreed to settle it by lot. " Will, always fertile in expedients, proposed the manner of it, unci With laces solemn enough for a funeral wo went through t h e ' s t r a u g t t c e r o t n o n y w I wrote the numbers, nine and sevenjifl upon slips of p a p e r a n d handed t h e i w ^ to.Mrs. H a r t ; then Will a n d I left, t h A g room, a n d drawing t h e portieres ^ close behind o u r backs, waited while she pinned t h e m upon t h e sleeping in-, flints. She then called us in, when Will, a s t h e older, m a d e his choice. \ "I will trtke,"heb6gan,thenBfcoppe<i, a n d I'll never forget t h e expression or* his face as, he added in a low, intensevoice, " N u m b e r nine." His wife's nurse stepped forward, and raising t h e nearest infant, laid it solemnly in his a r m s ; Cettie's n u r s e placed t h e o t h e r child in mine. " T r a c y , " said Will, " I swear I'll be good t o it, whosoever it is." "And I swear the s a m e . " I responded, with bowed head. "Now, remember," I a d d e d after a pause, "this m u s t be a dead secret between us—the m o t h e r s m u s t never k n o w , " and t h a t strange q u a r t e t there t o o k an ironclad o a t h of invincible secrecy. Life flowed on after t h a t without a ripple for' awhile. The young m o t h e r s fondled their babies, compared notes, sung their praises and a l m o s t quarreled over their respective merit* d a y by day. Will and I looked on, maintaining a reserve t h a t h u r t o u r respective spouses—something approaching a coldness had arisen between us; we dreaded being left tete-atete— for the sudden silence t h a t fell upon b o t h of us s t o o d like a wall between us a n d spoiled o u r friendship und our fatherhood. B u t more was yet t o come. I have mentioned B o b ' s bea ttSCnt girl-wife. We all t r e a t e d her in a n elder brother-und-sisterlv way; couldn't help loving and petting her, and we t o o k her about, with us a good deal, for Bob was an editor who worked all night, a n d he was thankful t o us for using his " c o m p l i m e n t a r i e s " a n d escorting his wife t o evening ent e r t a i n m e n t s . Sam did n o t care t o go o u t a n d t h i s d u t y devolved upon Will a n d myself. How t h e impression got a b r o a d t h a t she was unmarried, I d o n ' t know, but I was sliocked t o receive a note from a club a c q u a i n t a n c e , asking permission t o call upon m y beautiful sister, frankly a n d a r d e n t l y avowing t h a t she was t he on 1 y wo man-he liad-ever..seen t h a t ho desired t o wed, etc., etc. I dared n o t show tins t o jealous and ftpry Bob, b u t by adviee of my wife I burned t h e letter and sought t h e writer. He w a s a m a n of the world, of better family t h a n r e p u t a t i o n . I was terribly embarrassed, as I explained. He was angry ballled and savage. " H u m p h ! " he ejaculated,sneeringly; " a married w o m a n . And no relative. T a k e her t o a c c o m m o d a t e her husband! H o w delightfully m a g n a n i m o u s ! Does it a c c o m m o d a t e the husband t o have you hold tier fan as a screen before your laces, raise her b o u q u e t t o y o u r lips, b u t t o n her gloves with lingering touches, and draw her wrap a r o u n d her shoulders with t h a t devoted airf See here! Tupper; if you're not a fool, you must be a villain! When [ t h o u g h t y o u were her brother ' t w a s all right, but by George! if McCarty c a n ' t whip you I can!" und he s t r o d e away, leaving me absolutely d u m b with—what? It couldent have been conscience. Of course Cettie was eager no hear • all a b o u t t h e interview, and n a t u r a l - ly I prevaricated (as I grow older I recognize t h a t there are times when t h e naked t r u t h should be p u t i n t o swaddling clothes before exhibition). But, after t h a t , I t o o k pains t o be m o r e reserved in m a n n e r to Bob's J e a n n e t t e . white I did n o t seem t o care as much for the club a s former- And yet, after t h e strange m a n n e r of things in this life, they were but trifles after all, which finally caused t h e d e a t h of our co-operation. S a m ' s indignation a t beint^ dunned for my wife's millinery bill, Bob's disa p p o i n t m e n t in finding t h a t the elegant fur-trinimed overcoat he had received in good faith as a present, was in reality a purchace of Will'sfor himself, t o say nothing of such small nuisances a s m i s t a k e s in t h e weekly accounts, troubles with the s e r v a n t s , t h e trying t o settle a b o u t various ext r a s , the impossibility of accurately dividing the coal a n d gass bills, with, a l w a y s a n d especially, tlje rivalry over those two fated babies. Wc began t o avoid the " s q u a r e " of evenings, we grew less a n x i o u s to procure o u r t h e a t e r tickets together, we lingered less a t table a n d a chill cons t r a i n t m a d e itself felt in the very a t - mosphere. Cettie said she t h o u g h t Sallie Mc- Carty really had an unlady-like temper, and if Bob d i d n ' t look out his wife would make him trouble yet— while, a c t u a l l y , the way Bessie Dickson managed t h a t b a b y ' s n a p was enough t o ruin it for life! As spring approached, an air of uneasy a n t i c i p a t i o n t o o k the place of our former culm. I wa n't, surprised when B o b informed nic t h a t Jeannette was crazy t o go t o housekeeping, a n d his wife next d a y whispered t o Cettie t h a t Bob was* RO a n x i o u s t h a t she would h a v e t o t r y housekeeping. C" So it was with us ~n\\i Cettie forgot the " c r e e p y " evening, or no longer feared t h e m , with our (Ahf was it our?) b a b y for c o m p a n y , a n d no longer longed for the freedom of her own h o m e again. The Dickson* were quite reconciled t o housekeeping in a flat, a n d (he S a m McCarty's to b o a r d in a hotel. We p a r t e d friends—I hope—but while I c a n ' t speak for the rest, I am very certain 1 ••h,"'! -ever co-operate again. 1 1 m /, WMmmmmMwmmmMmwMm \'i' '•"%W,;*y/, ...» . > • ' ' .,/ ,, * M H M M H M M « p WASHINGTON LETTER.

In the morning my coughing and clearing of my throat would almost strangle me. By the use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Kemedy, in three months, 1 was a well man, and the cure has been permanent."

Pinckney, Mtflhig&n. TaurBday >.Feb. 16,1888. THE Supreme Court last week set its seal of condemnation on the liokeraianoats business. Thousands of farmers have been deluded by this swindle, though its plans had been denounced and reiterated by the press in general. It now remains to be seen whether they will take up as readily with the next new dodge that comes out. SINCE the "shoving" of some $800 in bogus silver certificates was detected at the Norns cocking mam in Detroit Saturday night it has been learned that large numbers of $& and $10 certificates are in circulation. The $5 bills are very good ones, printed on thin paper, however, and a quarter of an inch shorter than the regular bills. The $10 bills are very rank. They are Of the series of 1880 with a picture ot •Robert Morris on the front. The paper is soft and spongy. The words "engraved and printed at the bureau of engraving and printing" are omitted from the right end of the bill's face. The word "receivable" is spelled "recievabie;" '"reissued" is spelled "reisued." The check letter in the upper left hand corner is omitted. VERY serious charges under affidavits are perferred by former employes of the Michigan insane Asylum at Kalamazoo against the management ot that institution. It is charged that patients have been neglected proper treatment, deprived of proper nourishment and proper clothing, from the effects of which treatment many patienss have died. They cito instances where physicians connected.with the institution have refused to leaye the table around which they were seated drinking liquors, and attend upon sick and dying patients. One attendant makes affidavit that our own unfortunate townsmen, Myron Van Buren, died from enforced starvation and gross neglect of duty on the part of physicians. Such charges are of so serious a character that they ought to be thoroughly shitted, and it found true the guilty parties severely punished.—Stockbridge Sun. Washington Letter. Jt*rom Our Correspondent. WASHINGTON, FEB. 15th, 1883. The week in Congress has been an Unusually interesting one and considerable real work has been done in committee rooms and on the floor of both the Senate and the H ouse. Among the Senate's doings was Senator Kenna's defence ot the Administration and the President's tariff message, in winch he Undertook to demolish the argument made*by Senator Sherman in his recent, Speech, and to show the urgent need of tariff reform. The Senate passed the resolution which provides for changing Inauguration day from the 4th of March to the 30th. of April, and for fixing the beginning and termination of the official terms ot Senators and Kepresentatives to the same date. A number of bilk have been discussed and passed, among them one to in speech would call tourth a'vigoroas rejoinder from the Ohio Senator, and as is usually the case whan a straight out party fight is going on the galleries were'full and the Senators were in their Beats. For an hour and a half the Senator from West Virginia figuratively pounded Sherman and the Republican party with all the strength at his command. Mr. Sherman, who was sufficiently stirred to strike back, said, among other things, that the Democratic party had been in power in the House of Representatives for ten years, and not a single affirmative proposition or measure as to the tariff question had been presented to the American people. He said if he had not changed his views on the tariff in the past thirty years he would not be worthy of a seat in the Uuited States Senate. He admitted that ho voted for immigration in 1864. He said it was an invitation for foreigners to help to make good the absence of bravo Union soldiers. He would have voted then for any kind oflaw to have defeated the Democratic party ot that day. The most important bill of a general character before the House Committee on Patents is that of Mr. Anderson of Kansas to Jreduce the lifetime of a patent to seven years. The bill has been discussed by the committee and remanded back for further consideration. As far as developed the committee is divided as to the merits of the measure. The only bills of a general character before the House Pension Committee, relate to the Mexican war. One is to amend the act so as to place teamsters in the Mexican war on the pension rolls the same as soldiers. The former, it is said, worked equally as hard as the rank and file and were exposed to .iuily as much dang_er,_and for this reason it is considered proper that they should be pensioned. Henry George and Sam Jones have both been in Washington lecturing. The latter thinks the temperen^e sentiment is growing in all sections of the country, and that before twenty years there will he both Slate and National prohibition in all the states. High license he considered the worst enemy of prohibition, because it makes the liquor traffic respectable, and the more respectable the longer it will survive. Henry George thinks President Cleveland will be re-elected if he will stickto his tariff message. It has been whispered about [the Capitol this week, though I do not vouch for the truth of the report, that the Judiciary Committee ot the House was considering the preparation of a resolution calling upon the Department of'Justice to prosecute Gould, Huntington, Senator Stanford and others who are shown by the,.report of the Pacific Railroad Commission to have made millions of dollars fraudulently oat of the land grant roads.

Livingston Republicans Thursday ' afternoon last Stephen I. Miller and S. D. Anderson engaged in a friendly wrestling match. Stephen Won. the first fall, but the next bout resulted disastrously to him. He was thrown,- and in tailing his lett leg was wrenched in such a manner that the hones were broken about midway between the knee and ankle. The fracture is a tad one, but it is hoped that Stephen will soon be around attending to business as usual. No blame tor the accident is a< tached to any one. It was a Scuffle for fun, growing out of considerable good natured bantering.

D.'J'hompson, one Of our most esteemed and respected citizens, was suddenly prostrated with spinal disease last Friday afternoon. He was unconscious until Monday and was in convulsions a part of the time. His suffering was dread- . ful, and his friends had little hope that • he would live through the terrible ordeal. He is much better at present writing. Consciousness has returned and the prospects ot his speedy recovery seem bright. Mr. Thompson has lately been employed in the Chicago Store, where his services were highly valued. He had a similar attack last fall while in the Auditor General's office at Lansing,, and had not fully recovered his strength when KB was again stricken down. His iron constitution and perfect habits will assist greatly in restoring him to health.

She was taken suddenly ill seven years and three months ago, and for two months she has been unable to rise from her bed. A small amount of nourishment has been regularly taken about once in every 24 hours, but tor the past four years, the stomach has almost immediately rejected the small amount taken. Mrs. Ling has been through all in full command of her sensation although unable to move any portion ot her body except a slight turning of her head.

Last week oneofhis brothers received a letter from him which was of such a nature as to indicate that his trouble had culminated in positive insanity. He was brought hetfe and tenderly cared for until matters could be arranged for his admission to the asyruru. Thus is explained many singular transactions in which he has been concerned of late.

Says a Home dispatch: On the 10th inst., in strange antithesis lo the fetes of the Papal job lee, thero took place in the Pantheon a .solemn service in memory of the tenth .-wiiver.sarv of the death of II U« Guhuitomo, and of tho hero of the ltal an Kisorgiuieuto. Jiu tho most pr vato manner possible King Humbert and his beautiful wife, Queen Marguerite, drove to the old temple to pray at tho tomb of thoir father anil father-in- law. But tlm L bends of all Italy, and especially of Rome, availed themselves of the oecas on to counter' demonstrate against the rival of papal power. The immediate vicinity of the temple was thronged with people to the number of some 10,000 of the better class, who cheered tho Kiuglustilv as lie appeared in his carriage, utit 1 obliged to des st Iby^ho King's adjutant, who informed^ fihem that though # day reminiscent of all that was glorious in modern Italian history, for tho King it was one which reawakened great and lasting sorrows. A private mass was celebrated by Algr. Auzino, tho Court Chaplain. The doors of the ancient temple were closed while m:iss was bo- ; ng celebrated. A detachment of veterans mounted a guard of honor at tho mausoleum. After the termination of the private mass, the Pantheon was opened to the various societies, sixty in number, preceded by their standards and by mauy bands of music. The municipality of Homo, headed bv the Marquis Guiccioli. the acting Ma> or, attended in state, md so did ihe representatives of till the ?onstitutod bod es of the metropolis. The Mortuary Chapel was soon filled with a large number of wreaths of flowers, which were brought in by corporations ami private persons. Thousands and thousands of mmies were registered in the book kept there for the purpose, ami during the whole day the Pantheon l>ecamo the . mecca of the Italian patriots All the associations who had given themselves rendezvous at the Pantheon, after proceed ngs were; over unanimously decided to go in a body to the Quiriuat Pahce, the residence of King Humbert. Headed by theif hands and standards, 'they crossed the piazza Delia Minerva and by tiie new Via Naz onalc" went toward the; Quirinal Hall. Through all tho streets where the profession pM.ssed a great crowd had assembled to sympathize with tho demonstrators. Nearly every liouso had hoisled an Italian tltg at half mast, and I noticed flie stars and stripes displayed among the banners. The Italian colony of New York sent a splendid wreath of dry llowers. About noon the procession reached tho royal palace, wlu'le the roval march and the Garibaldi anthem were plaved bv the bands. As soon as tho palace was roachod a tremendous shout filled tho whole square, and thousands of voices re-echoed "V;va II Re." "Viva II Padre Delia P a t t i a . " "Viva Roma Intagibie." A committee waited on the King, who, greatly moved at the imposing manifestation, thanked the people most warmly, and excused himself for not coming out on lho balcoti}', on account of it being, a dav of deep mourning for the royal fam ly. A Second demonstration was organized afterward by about tive hundred students in front of the palace of the Prime Minister. wherV» they hailed him with the word-; "Viva Crispi; Viva tho L beral M nistry."

In Batavia a Parsee juggler treated the Dutch residents to a novel matanza. :>r killing show, in tho circus of the old 2ity bull ring. His victims were a number of worthless curs which their owners or captors had brought along with the distinct understanding that their entries would not survive the incidents of the performance. With no weapon but a light stick, (possibl a tube) some six feet long, bv an inch in diameter, the performer entered the arena and then invited his patrons to start their pets, one at a time. A lank hound, almost hairless with mange, opened the festivities by making a rush round tho ing, but stopped short on finding his /ay barred by the Mill ranker professor, and retreated after displaying his few remaining teeth. The necromancer held his staff sit arm's length, still facing the dog, who presently began to stagger, and two minutes after had expired in convulsions. A second cur managed to run I hf blockade by leaping over the extended staff, but soon after began to show signs of distress, and before the end of the third minute had shared the fate of his predecessor. Dos: after dog entered the ring in quick succession, some of them stopping in surprise and smiling at the corpses of their doomed forerunners but all finally npproaced (he possessor of the fatal secret, or even snapped at his naked shins and not oneof the 1,000 spectators saw him strike a direct blow, or defend himself n anyway suggesting a mechanical exolanation of tho uniform result.

A poisoned arrow could not have entirely disappeared, while a gaseous poison would have betrayed itself by odor or by its effects on the person of tho performur. After tho conclusion of the matanza Mr.Gerstaeekor secured a privato interview with the artist, anil iii vain offered him a liberal inducement to explain the modus operandi of his trick. The Parsee suutued bribe-proof, but at last look his tempter aside and in a whisper guaranteed tho results of ii s professional assistance if mvuhoor should wish fo try tin? efficacy of h s a,rl bv an experiment on a two-legged subject— the amount of the proffered compensation having evidently suggested a conjecture that the enterprising foreigner was contemplating Lite removal of some obnoxious fellow-biped. — The Cosmopolitan.

Shelly, who has for I lie last twenty years hold the chair of Modern History in tho Universitv at that plact*. struck tho keynote of the contest between tho classicists and tho advocates j of modern culture. He said: "We are j heavily. As winter is fast slipping by, says a correspondent of The I'nUrU Partner, every good farmer will study out his "campaign" for tho coming season in accordance with his means, his soil ami his supply of manure.

If the manure supply is still short, use commercial fertilizers. If you have not experimented heretofore, and do not know what kinds are most suitable for your land; better try special crop fertilizers.

A funny thing occurred last Tharsdnv evening, when we had quite severe lighning. One of our surveyors wa* out in the woods surveying, and on tho tho approach of the storm took shelter under a large tree, leaving his compass on the jackstaff, some two or three hundred yards away. During tho storm a tree very near tho compass wasstruck bv lightning, and strango to-relate, t h e effect upon the compass was to reverse it so as lo make the north point of tho needle change position and point south. Tho gentleman not knowing that fact, when he went back to^tho compass took a course and started, as ho supposed, for home. After walking eight or ten miles, going north, as the compass indicated, ho. away iu tho night, came to the house of an old settler, who, upon inquiry, (old him where lie was and how far he was from Orlando and the pro[>cr direction, which of course was directly opposite to that indicated by his compass. After becoming satisfied something was wrong with the compass and that the settler was r ght, ho retraced his steps and arr ved at home, lirod, wet and mad. This is the second instance wo havo known of tho needlo of a compass being affected by lightning so as to become reversed. —Ortan^ (lo(t'ia.)Jkcord e ..*' r * ! 4:^ i #t . • * SF' rM &i»*'":*» ,-1^ ' w *fe.*Y-i^i$y*J ' « C »W;«^f • : ^ - . 1 » M * «M\ /'• ,v.

Quad in t h e Detroit Free Press of J a n u a r y 5, has t h e following to say of Florence, Ala., which Is bein.-: rapidly developed by the Florence L a n d Co.: Every So th rn paper speaks of " F a i r F l o r e n c e . " And fair she is. If t h e men of seventy years ago could not foresee ihe march of Progress, they had some excellent ideas regarding t h e pres nt. A high and * ry location was selected for the town, the streets were laid oft for comfort and beauty, and here to-day Is the site for one of t h e handsomest cities in all t h e South. Tin re is beauty and t h e pictures ,ue whichever way you turn, and enough of the modern h s crept In to throw t h e oldtime dwelling out in strange contrast a n d compel your admiration. W H A T i s COMING. This sudden and thorough development of Alabama minerals, by which t h e attention of the worl i has been so directly called to her timber supply and agricultural lands as well, will build up every town in the State which has natural advantages. Florence has set, her stakes to become a manufacturing center. Her advantages a r e : A thousand miles of waterway l o w i n g past her doors, three railroads complete I a n d three more in contemplation; nearness to coal and iron; the great supply of timber along the river, and the cheapness with which it can be landed at the doors of manufacturing establishments. The prooleni of to-day a n d t h e problem of the future is a n d will be cheap transporialiou. T h e manufacturer who secures the lowest rates will do t h e greatest business. River or lake transportation insiues cheap ra'ea by rail. A town situated s» that she has both, with iron, timber and coal at hand, could hardly keep manufacturers out if she desired to. A steamer loaded with manufactured goods at Florence can go to Pittsburg one way, to the Culf another, and to LaCrosse a third. If iron could be p u t into furnaces there at 15c, a ton, she would not have t h e advantage she new possesses in being able to send Ihe pig to St. Louis for SI per ton. :«IAM'1'A( T l ' H K K S I N W O O D S . Along this great river, from Florence to Decatur one way, and from Florence to Pittsburg l a n d i n g t h e other, the supply of soft ami hard wood timber has scarcely lost a tree. There is every variety known to com:: erce, a n d it can be had at very low prices. There is located at Florence an industry which is turning out 75,000 butter dishes per day without being able to fill its orders. -.• -K * * "tf * -XU M A L T l ' , r i . I M A T K A.VIJ MOIJAI.S. Does any one die In this city of :; ,00) inhabitants'. Yes, at long intervals, but generally of accident or old age. It is doubtful if the vital statistics ot the world can iintiie a healthier spot, i here is no healthier climate in t h e United strte.sthan .in this 'lennessee Valley, where every town and village h a s perfect drainage and the best of water. Epidemics are unknown l i r e , and the fevers of the lowland are never met w i t i . There may bu a l o k n p in Florence, out if so it is probably rented out a-; a carpenter shop or store house. There is no need of one. It has all the churchc , t!ie best schools, and a state of 1 society which any city might be justly proud o'. All the influences a r e for good. They are honest big-hearted people, with honest face> arid hearty hand shakes, ami it does a stranger good to pass a day among them. A<ii:(CTi/rriJK. Nowhere in all this wide country \^ there a richer agricultural section than this Valley of t h e Tennessee. It i-. the fanners' paradise. I t will grow anything except the fru.ts of the trot ics. and grapes and fruits as luscious as California can produce can b • grown h e r e w i t h the least attention, It should, and some day will, be the fruit belt of the eastern half of this continent. The a. ricu.tural lands about Florence sol 1 as high as .>,U per acre seventy years ago. The crops <.f cotton, corn, oats aiid 1 otatoes produced by slave labor were as onishing, Mill larger crops could be produced by intelligent white Iacor at ihi- day. Alabama began the battle of life after t h e war poor in purse and discouraged in spirit. T h e farmer had to take everything h.is land would produce to keep his hi a I above v. a e r . ami he was able to p u t nothing back. F a r m s run down very rapidly under this syst m, an i they have not recovered yet. However, the soil simply waits for kindly treat i.ent to.'t'spnnd w i t h such crops as th» \ o r t h - ein farmer can never hope for. T h e whole section is finely watered, timber is in abun ance, a i d land is y e : cheap. When Florence sends up the smoke of her mills and or a^es and la'tories, and droves of lab re s j ass t > and from their daily t o i \ she will have the agriculture to support them, no matter what t h e n u m - ber.

KMETT, CDfTOR MO PROPRIETOR PiockW, Mtehifao. Tnnreaay ....Feb. 5», 18t# Washington Letter. From Oar Correspondent. J WASHINGTON, FEB. 22th, 1888. The week's doings iu Congress have been of a varied and interesting character. The Senate Las talked tariff, education, coins, discussed the nuisance of the vast accumulation of public documents in the public buildings of Washington, and made repeated attempts to uiscuss the British Extradition treaty behind barred doors, poor. "He said tbat he started work on a Connecticut farm at $7 a month, and at the end of the month had the $7. He thought that all the Central Pacific owed the Government should be put into 250 semi-annual payments, which would bring it into shape the road could meet. He said Lis company would like to pay all they owed now, but they were poor and could not do it. He did not. think it advisable to throw the road on the market and sell it, no other civilized Government would do such a thing; but United States Government was a peculiar one; it exacted everything and paid nothing. At another tune he said, in a burst of confidential passion, that, in A NERVE TQMC. ames but in this was thwarted by the way ward Senator from Virginia, who per-1 fact, the Central Pacitic did not owe sists in his efforts to do away with the j the Government anything. farce of secret cessions. i The House of Representatives is getting ready, for the coming tariff tight; "it is clearing the decks'-' as "Sunset" Cox said, by passing a great many minor and private bills, which are scarcely worthy of mention. Today it will consider the admission ot Dakota to the sisterhood ot States, and on Wednesday a | three o'clock, the Senate will call for a final vote on the long pending Blair Educational bill. Senator Plumb, ot Kansas, wants to make a'speech on the 131air b>ll before it is voted on, as does also another Senator, and tor the sake of these two, the vote has been deterred until [the day named. Senator Call, ot Florida, made a speech rather in favor ot the measure. He said if be could believe that the evils foretold by the enemies of the bill would follow its enactment, he would vote against it. But he did not so believe. A- to the Constitutional objections made to it, he said the the quotations from Jefferson and Madison and the early fathers of the Republic were nearly one hundred years old, and.had every one of them been overridden by the practice of the Government with the acquaintance of the people. Mr. Carlisle shows no traces .of his recent illness, One of his first acts on resuming his oflicial duties at 1 he"'Capitol was to order the private telegraph wires removed from the corridors of tlie House wing. The Western Union Telegraph Company and leased, for stock jobbing purposes, private wires, communicating directly between the Capitol and certain stock broker's offices in Washington and New York. The Speaker not only ordered the Western Union to cut off every wire that was not for public use. but lie ordered those who had established themselves in little telegraph or telephone offices of their own to clear out instantly, and he ordered the architect of th«' Capitol to pull them down and have them removed. When last cpestioned as to the progress made on the coming tariff 'mil by the ways and means committee, chairman Mills replied that they were going slow for the reason that it was an important subject. There is danger of treading on some committeeman's toes at every turn, and they are determined, so they say, not to do any thing rash, not to report a bill containing an attack on any special industries, for that might defeat the very object the majority hope to attain. Said the chairman, "we want the work cf this committee to stand the assault, of the enemy, and we are building our structure accordingly." It was on Friday that the president of the Central Pacific railroad company, Mr. Huntington, appeared before the House committee to give his: views upon pending legislation touching those roads. He informed the Committee that he had nothing to apologize for, nothing to take back; he only wanted to see an arrangement. 4>y which tbe Government would get its money without crippling the road. He stated that the organizers/fLcland Stanford, Mark Hopkins, Charles. Cronker and himself), built the Central Pacific by borrowing money on thenown individual names, not on the credit ot the Government. The road was poor and always had been. A Committee-man asked if the four men were now poor. ikThe four gentlemen have grown rich" "Mr. Huntington replied, "but they owe it to themselves.

" T h e writer took the position that while a variety of food was essential, corn should be the staple food and foundation of all. A n interesting discussion ensued upon the sub ect and many good thoughts and suggestions brought out. U. Morse of Union City, read a paper, " T h e Best Age to Wean Pigs and How to care for Them After Wea i n g . " This t a p e r contained many good points and suggestions. T h e discussi* n which followed the reading was spicy aud interesting. Johu Bowdltch, of Jefferson, Hillsdale county, followed with a paper upon the "Best Manner of Advertising I m p r o v e d S w i n e , " and V. II. Darrow of Coldwater, one ui on the "Value of Expert J u d g i n g . ' ' Mr. 1'arrow would have judges for each breed of swine, and only tho e who were perfectly familiar with all the peculiarities ami characteristics of the breed as well as with their good qualities and delects. !u the hands of such judges justice would be done, and an incentive given to keep the standard high. T h e association passed a resolution that its m e m b e s would not exhibit at fairs whero expert judges were not employed. They also passed resolu'ions asking the Hillsdale county agricultural society to appoint expert judges at the fair this year. The attendance upon the meeting was quite large, and the interest good throughout. A P r o f e s s o r R u n D o w n . Prof. Thos. S. Andrew, alias K. T. Mmiroe of Ortonvllle, Mich., was traced to Indianapolis. Ind., the other day, and was placed under arrest while in the act of securing a letter at the postoftiee which had been forwarded to him under his fictitious name. He is charged with having committed a rape on Nellie Case, daughter of a neighbor, on tho 1-tth of last month. It appears that the accused is a phrenologist and a lecturer, and his wife follows the same line ami is now absent on a lecture tour, The little girl was employed to look after his household affairs, and in this way i ame within his grasp. After the o t e n s e was committed Andrews tied from Ortonville, and until recently he remained in hiding from the officers, Who traced him to various points without success in capturing him. Finally a watch was placed over his wife, who was lecturing at Metamora. O. a n d she was observed to post a letter to Munroe at Indianapolis, and this led to the a r r e s t After Andrews h i d been taken to the police station, and while he was being searched by the turnkey, he made a g r a b into his own pocket, bringing out a ra/or with which he attempted to cut his t h r o a t but he ouly succeeded in slightly wounding himself before it was knocked from his grasp. He admitted lie was carrying it for that purpose. Andrews is aged fifty-eight, and h e i s ^ v e l l dressed and looks like an intelligent man possessed of means. His son is in business at Ortonville. S e y m o u r I s t h e M a n .

David boss Locke w a s born in Vestal, Groome county, N. Y., Sept. 20, l^as.and hence was in his 55th year. His father, N. it. Locke, a veteran of the war of 1812, Is still Lying in Toledo at tiie advanced age ofOi. The father was one of the original anti-slavery men of the country, and young Locke inherited the h p * n e hatred of the "peculiar Institution" and love of freedom which made him such a power with his pen during the civil war. In Ills 1 ith year he was upptenticed to the printiug trade in the Cortla^idt, N. Y., Courier o'tice. After .serving his seven years lie t aveled through the I nited states working at his tra le aud acting as a re purler.

He was editing the latter paper when the war broke out, and in its columns app, are 1 the Initial numbers of the renowned '•> a s h y " letters, the lirst rearing date April :.1, 1801. These political satires sprang at once into popularity. They were copied in newspapers everywhere; quoted in speeches; it ad around the camp tires of the union army, and exercised an incalculable influence in molding public opinion north in favor of vigorous prosecutio-i of the war. Secretary Boutwell declared in a speech at Cooper I'nion, New York, at the close of the war, that the success of the union a m s was due to three causes—"the army, the navy and the Nasby letters." Charles Sumner spoke in a similar manner concerning the ini.uence of the letters, and l iucoln is known to have been a frequent reader and a great admirer of the epistles. The popularity of the Nasby letters led to a demand that Mr. L(cke should take the lecture platform, and this lie did ior a time. Although he was not a success as an orator, he invariably drew largo crowds. Mr. Locke once raised a company of volunteers and applied to Cov. Brough of i hio for a commission as captain, wliieh "was refused on the ground that l.e could do more good for the union cause with his pen than in the field. lie was o u r e d otlicial positions by President Lincoln and also by President Grant, but steadily declined, as his only ambition was in the edit rial held. In 18(>5 he assumed charge of the Toledo Blade, first on a salary, afterwards purchasing an interest and finally entire contiol. It had always been his scheu e to found a great national weekly which he now carried oiit. He was cue of the founders of the republican 1 arty in Ohio, and the " N a s b y " letters were but part of the powerful work he did in the political Held. He also did a vast deal if. purely literary work, basing written two or three successful plays, books of travels, and many novels and sketches for his own paper. He was also a p< et of no mean order and several of his devotional poems' can be found In various church hymnals. Some four or live years ago his health began to fail, and he gradually withdrew himself irom active work. Since then ho has written very littL save an occasional " N a s b y " letter, and a few special articles, chiefly on prohibition.' He 1 ecame convinced that prohibition nui-t bo the final solution of the liquor question, and lor six years lias strongly agitated it in his paper, through uon partisan methods. .Mr. Locke was married while at Plymouth' to Miss Martha Bodine, who with three sons, all grown to manhood, survive him.

JOYS OF THE HUNT. Why it is Unhealthy to Go Duck- Shooting in Winter. to us by the residents, the result* of onr shooting could h a r e been carried out oi Berkshire county in a tin cup. (ieor^e always said, however, that the dog had points. He had paid ¢60 for Whiskey aud a pedigree, which was allowing >4y.50 for the pedigree and half a dollar for the pup. The pedigree was worth? the money, but I think (>eorg« paid 49 cents too much for the dog. l i e said that Whiskey only needed to be broken to become of great value, ] but one day Whiskey broke into the j poultry yard was caught in the act, | and got about as well broken with an j a \ e handle as a dog mijiht wish, but | beyond a general lameness and a dis- | position to howl all day long, I could not see any material change for the better. We shot around Pittsiield four days j and got one cotton tail rabbit and a case of rheumatism, and the entire trip did cot cost more than $81. Duck shooting is g r e a t sport for any one who thoroughly enjoys spending ten hours in a congestive chill. The process is very simple. You simply build a "blind," which is a s m a l l corral made of branches: set out a dozen de - co\g in the water, lie in the " b l i n d " until you are soaked and st ft* and cold as a frozen steak, and then, you come home. I o m e went d ck sho ting by moonlight on the marshes near ^anta Clare, Cal. An old sportsman had told me that if I went on a cloudy moonlit night and kept still i would hear the ducks coming, their wings producing a sound like this: "swss—swss- swss - s w s s - s w s s " very clear, loud and rapid. Ducks fly low on cloudy nights, he said, and all the sportsman has to do is to wait until he hears a ilock coming then look up and see them Hying close overhead like swift silhouettes against the cloudcurtained sky. He told mo all this with the air of a man who is conferring a great personal favor, and then rooted out the almanac and ascertained that the moon would be just right the following evening. I asked him to join me in the noble sport, but he coughed in a doubtful manner and said that nothing would give him greater pleasure, but that his wife's grandmother was lying mortally ill id San ose, and he thought he'd go down with the vest of the family next A D o c ' * P e c u l i a r Instinct-*. Henry Guy Carleton in New York World. IIAVE received from an old rtnd once val - ued friend a letter, apparently sin c e r e and kind, but in which, with almost dev ilish ingenuity,he endeavored to decoy m e d o w n t o " a week's canvasback shooting on Chesapeake f a y . " I h a w ha tiled tbis fiend inhuman shape by not only declining to go to Chesapeake Buy myself, but also by a line stroko of enterprise giving my cordial consent to his own ('migration to a bourne whence no traveller returns. Midwinter shooting may be line sport for an Esquimau who lias just got a revolutionary musket and dose n't know any better than t > fool with it, but, while my paresis is still in the incipient stages, I have better sense than to go slopping around in a Maryland marsh with one largo double barrelled gun, a small single barrelled dog and a re olving rase of pneumonia, bagging, after a hard day's work, only one canvasback duck which subsequently turns out to be a niudhen or a coot. t w*!nt up last year for a few days' shooting in the Herkshires with George Colby and his snutt colored setter. George told me that a thorough sportsman could shoot about ten hours a day in the neighborhood of Pittsiield, and 1 foun I that part of the statement to be strictly true; but if the sportsman expected to get anything in return for his ammunition he ^ as going to be left. George's dog was named Whiskey, and was'christened after the Pittsiield spec es of that deadly drug. He was a well mean ng animal, but his notions as to what might reasonably bo expected of a dog by a sportsman were as crude as though lie had come from Cochin China. His idea of what was the correct thing on a hunt was to race around us at a distance of half ..a m let and scare every rabbit and partridge out of the county: and from time to time, when we neared a farm house, Whiskey would dash in, root the tail feathers out of a dozen hens, kill a duck or two and get us into a heated discussion with their owner. Changing One's Mind. The population of the country la now about twice as large as it was at the tho beginning of tlu» war. In the short space of a quarter of a century we have become u new country ami a new people. There haw beeu as much progress between Lincoln and Cleveland as between Washington and Lincoln. History now goes by steam, anil the "stately march of the ages" quickens to tho music of the Yankee galop. Wo arc r u s h n g to our destiny by forced marches. But not alone in material advancement have wo made tremendous strides I of progress. Wo adopt now ideas, new creeds, new theories, with as much rapidity as wo adopt new motors, new methods of illninmat ou or a new kind of a bicycle. We change the fashion of our thinking as easily as we change the fashion of our d'Msss; and the man who never changes his mind is becoming as odious to the eyes that are lit with the new lire of progress as the man who never changes his shirt. This is, perhaps, tho characteristic of our age—tho ability to change its mind easily. The slowness with which new ideas were disseminated in former geuor ations is an enigma to the people of our time. Great moral reforms always pass through an era of ridicule, toferation, examination and acceptance. But now men get over laughing at a new idea the lirst year of its promulgation, and tolerate, examine and accent it the second year. Young men of twenty-ono years of age can rem e m b e r when the Darwinian theory was everywhere ridiculed as tho conception of a visionary theorist. It is now universally accepted by thinking men. Old creeds that were supposed to bo as firm set as the basis of the hills are melting away like vapor. Great questions like tho temperance prohibitory movement, socialism, the labor problem, have sprung into almost immediate prominence, and such of them as A. M I C H I G A N C E X T l l VI.

No cause that is really w o r t h y will ever again struggle through centuries of defeat and loss. It is sure of prompt recognition from men who have learned that the greatest evidence of sane mentality is the ability to change one's mind. But yet this is the hardest lesson the world has ever learned. The b"si gift the world had for some thousands of years for the man who changed his mind was a home in a dungeon or a lieiy couch at the stake, it never except to a few c:cthat the mind was for itsolf, and not to the judgment of the seemed to occur, cept'onal souls, given to think placidly accept dead-and-gone thinkers of previous generations.

The society for prevention of cruelty to millionaires should immediately suppress this wanton publication, which is as cruel as it is unnecessary. Even a mill onaire has some rights, and a defamation of his character under the guise of liction should be subjected to close scrutiny by the pol ce. All the rest of our male "actors are carefully guarded from assault, and there is no reason why a millionaire, however enormous his capital, should not be entitled to the common rights of man. It is true that millionaires, by withholding vast accuniulat ons from general circulation, deserve the ill will of all noble-minded persons who d e - sire to live without boing afflicted with the curse of work. Most millionaires are men of wealth Most authors, particularly of the female species, carry the bulk of their bank A MILLIONAIRE. account in their mind's eye. Hence it is ^ perfecty easy to understand how this particular lady author, in the m'dst of a whirlwind of domesti • cares and inspirat ons, soothing syrup and sublime thoughts, col o mixtures and ambition, should naturally let the gravitation of her spleen lend towards the millionaire. T H E INSPIUEL) AUTHOR In this portrayal which she has written with so much ease and glee, the millionaires of New York are set down as a money grabbing, luxury-loving, cold, corpu ent, vainglorious, bacchana'ian and uproarious crew of linane al upstarts, who spend fourteen hours a dav in the delightful process of skinning their fr.ends, and the rest in a. hideous carnival of-gluttony and champagne. Their wives are gem-bed a?./.led dowagers, with hoarse voices, and loud attire, loose morals anil an equal love for slander and display, and their (laughters mincing and finicky, invariably in low. with an actor, a coachmen, or the winsome son of a gambolier This heartless expose of the true inwardness of millionaire life in New York not only will make the .slinking money magnates of this city shudder with woe, but will carry terror and desolation to opulent hearts in Philadelphia < ahkosh, Kankakee, Peer a, Boston and other outlying fastnesses of this great republic It is fortunate that v»r. Jay Gould is at present a Mediterranean sojourner instead of being here writhing over this exposure of h i ' dark and gruesome methods of life. Persons intimately a quainted with Mr. Gould have for years been in gross ignorance of the Eersonal viciousness and brutality in ted at in this book, and as they read the truth as unveiled by this author and know at last the depths of turpitude in which he has wallowed tor years they will be painfully shocked at their own blindness. Those who have known and trusted Mr. Russell Sane and have believed in his sobriety will be amazed at the hint that alter locking up his oiiice and walking home to save car-fare, he puts on a swallow tailed coat at.d an 1^-earat diamond, lolls back in a barouche is driven from orgy to orgy and utterly refuses to go home until daylight doth appear. Those who liave considered themselves intimate with the once exuberant but now somewhat saddened Mr. Cyrus Field may well start upon reading this book at the coven inuendo that not only does he spend his vast income in tippling, but that he is an active patron and a delighted witness ot* all the brutal prize fights which occur in Westchester county. Tho lady author has no personal acquaintance with a single millionaire in New York or elsewhere, and her ideas of metropolitan life arc wholly instinctive and not at all based upon knowledge or observation It is onlv genius which can thin o erleap the vulgar trammels of fact, and, while admitting our fiendish joy that the curtain has at last been lifted from the sensuous lives of our million ires, we must pay tribute to the heave:) born inspiration through which it was dope There are those who have imagined that the rich of New ork are not wholly abandoned profligates, given over to self-indulgence and riotous glitter. It has been lor some time a popular belief that our m u s e u m s art galleries, hospitals and pub! c dispensa'ories were mostly derived from the generosity of mill'ouiares. It h;:s b en improperly supposed that when any grea' calamity has occurred in a sister city Ihe millionaires of Now York paused in their mad revels longe ough to extend a generouslv helping hand. It is to be regretted that the look is not as personal as it is abusive It would have Loo-) delightful lo read how M r.

The immoral side of our millionaires' lives as shown by this brilliant hidy author, will be a grateful surprise to those who have hitherto been led to believe that most of them are i on-picuously foremost in all works of benevolence and piety. It is the duty of every .author to whoop things up and make a bum ng sensation, and literary circles in Sioux City, K a l a m a o o , Herkimer Syracuse, Skaneateles and Chicago will no doubt receive the thrilling 1 ale of metropolitan life with deep appreciation and capers of joy. — N.

The prolonged life of the emperor of Germany, in spite of family trouble and official care has given iise to a legend which, it is stated is o -mining credence among the su| er-ditious peasantry of certain bavarian villages. According to this legend the long life of Kaiser Wilhelm i> due to a mysterious philter, of wh oh his imperial majesty alone possesses the secret. ( ow the emperor obtained the magic beverage is not known. It is described as a kind of spirit which, if it does not give him immortality will enable him to live many years more, and* to supply him with su'ieicnt I odily and mental power to retain the government of his vast emp re in his own hand's. The legend furthermore states that the German sovereign has condescended to make a present of a few drops of the charmed liquid to Marshal Mo'ltke and Prince Hismarck. hence al.<o their respectable old age. Hut, strange to say he declines to give any to th crown prince, because he fears his henwould make use of his health, restored by the phiitor, to f roe him to abdicate. Several crowned heads have, it appears, applied to the emperor for his wonderful secret but in vain. The czar, in parti ular, prayed for sotnr .n the spirit, and it was the refusal of the kaiser to oblige hirn-whiicli was the real cause of the present coo'ness between Russia and Germany. -Pall Mall Ga zette- WORK O F T H E HUMORISTS.

Italy I K S ation. In this connection General Sheridan's name is mentioned as a m o n g the like!v ones, and the question as to nativity bearing open his eligibility is j u s t now attracting a good deal of public attention. A cousin of'"Little Phil11 says he was borm in Ireland, within a lew yards of his relative's house. General Sheridan himself says he was born in AKlany, N. V. The General's mother declares he was born in Somerset, Ohio. Tlri recouls of the War department credit him to the state, and the General's brother, Col. M. V. Sheridan, says he don't knowwhere he was born and that he won't be questioned about.if. It is said that there ir? p/ffOod; deal more in General Sheridan's prospective candidacy than appears on the surface, and that, his friends who are interested in it are biding,'their time, with a view of givipjf him an enthusiastic send oft. probably about tlie time ln> memories-are issued, which will be in the coming spring. Mr. Blame's letter has had the effect of somewhat contusing the Republican leaders, and Republican Senators, owing to the prevalence ot Presidential aspir^atious. in that end of the Capitol, are not disposed to express opinions or make predictions as to the nomination. Among tho.^e who may be mentioned as candidates for the Presidency are Senator Sherman, who makes no concealment ot his ambition to head the national ticket of his party. Senator H a w l e y w i t l not work for the nomination, but if his party believes him to be the man for the occa>ion, he, like Bark is, "is willing". Senator Lvarts has triends and admirers who maintain that he could carry N e w York, and ot late Senator Hiscock has been boomed as the man who could rally the Republicans of the Empire State i and lead bis party to victory. It is claimed t h a t Senator Cullbm's Inter- [ state biti-luis made him popular with the masses, and Must he is a favorite in Western circles, wherea-AVestern candidate is demanded. The name of Senator Ingalls, the president of the Senate, who1 is admired for his brilliancy, is favorbly mentioned, and Senator, Allison is the choice of Mr. Blaine, who would exert all of bis influence in behalt of the candidate from Iowa} ^ftnator Edniands is another pi'omiswi! man who wonld n o t ret use hie country's call, and Senator Frye, of Maine, who is the champion of temperance" in t h e Senate, is spoken of as the man whwcould bring back to the ^Republican fold all who have strayed off after prohibition. The most important measure passed by the Senate during the week was the ISlair Educational bill, which t h e House will probably dispose of sometime in March. The President'and party will start to-morrow about noon, by special train, for a w e e k s trt-vtb Florida. The Senators, Representatives and others who are ?oing by t h e same invitation, will start on the regular train an hour earlier than' that* which carries the President. Saturday was prohibition day at the Capitol. A two hours' hearing was given to a r g u m e n t s on the Piatt bill for prohibition in the district of Columbia by the S e n a t e . Committee. Among those who spoke m favor of tbe bill were Miss Frances Willard, Miss Ballenbcnder, National Superintendent of Legislation and petition?, of expressed her intention of p a r t i c i p a t ' n g in the celebration ot the g r e a t hi-ti rieal event, the qnadruientennial 1t tl e discovery of America, and t h e Gov rnment ot Spain has just taken official actum looking towards cordial co-opera ion with America.

From the scrap-book of an old and valued subscriber tlie following advertisement, which appeared iu the Salem Register of J u n e 10, l * l s . and the two succeeding weeks, is taken. As a document of considerable historic value and interest It is reproduced here for she benefit of the many readers who are interested in the old days of Detroit and Michigan: At a meeting of the inhabitants of the city of Detroit, in the territory of Michigan, called to take into consideration the proper course to be adopted to g v e general information respecting the sale of public lands in this territory, and the prospects and advantages held out to immigrants, Solomon Sibley, Ks(j.. was appointed chairman, and .John lu Williams, i..sq., secretary. Resolved, T h a t (Governor Lewis Cass, Hon. William Woodbrldge, Win. Brown, Cieorgo Mcliougall, J o h n R. Williams, Solomon -ibley, Abraham Edwards. Henry 1. Hunt, James Abbott and Charles Larned, esquires, be appo uted a committee to adopt such measures in relation to the foregoing subject, as they may think proper. In pursuance of the foregoing resolution the. subscribers take the liberty of stating, tha% The lands of the United States, within this territory are by a proclamation of Die President, to be offered for sale at this ulace on the first Mondays of July, September & Novem'H'r next. Not an acre of public land has ever been sold in the country and the whole is open to the enterprising for ch ice a n d purchase. It is confidently believed, that no part of the United States offers greater inducements for settlement and improvement than this does. ' T h e fertility of the soil, the temperature of the climate and the general healthiness of the country are equal to any part of the western states, and produce of all kinds finds a ready and a good market.—The great inland seas, which bound three sides of the territory, furnish inexhaustahle supplies of excellent fish. and will cause an activity in commerce and business, which always ensure a demand for ihe surplus produce of the country. Tho contemplated canal in New York will open an easy avenue to the ocean, and even now the price of transporting goods from Albany to Detroit is but four dollars and fifty cents per hundred. A steam boat Is now building at Buffalo, which will pro! ably be ready for sailing in June, and will greatly facilitate tho access and departure to and from the country. The United States, lands are sold in tracts of one hundred and sixty acres, at two dollars per acre, with a payment of one fourth part of the purchase money at the time of sale, and a credit of live years for the balance. T h e sum of StsO is therefore, sufficient to prod u e ' an incipient title to the land; and any man of common industry, long before the expiration of the term of credit, may make the remainder of the sum from the land itself, besides placing his farm in an improved and productive state. The opportunity now offerod to industrious and enterprising men, to lay the foundation of moderate fortunes does not often occur, and ought not to be neglected.

Sueh territories must e ther,therefore, he continue 1 indefinitely und r expensive territori il g^ivenment, < r admitted into the union as states, with the absol. te rertaintv that polygamy- will be shielded from punishment by statehood.

LAUIIBATB. Boy Roma oe, christened Royal, In the year Of oar Lord 18*5, was, 85 years later, a bachelor artist, with luxurious tastes and but A limited incoJBt.

In idle humor. Thu abounded lo nooks and corners, each *ir turned so as to appear to be another where balf-conecaied easy chairs of dimensions and couches covered with ruga invito the idler to sweet repose. •A qpuclous apartment, having the appearof many, with warm tinted pictures on wall and a book-case in a far-away re- « Upon the canvas ou the easel is an un- 'ed picture—a woman's face, which waits finishing touch from the artist's hand; a lb which shall complete mid give tho semof life to the portrait the artist has painted from memory. The small bend, the brown hair, upon which sunlight lingers in golden flecks; the brown eyes, with their deeply fringed lashes, are faithfully portrayed. The small mouth seems waiting to tweak into a smile, when something shall happen to break the stillness in which •she waits the expected event. Before the easel the artist stands, in blouse and slippers, with i blue velvet cap on his bead, contrasting well with his blonde face and hair. Through white wreaths of smoke he studies the face on the ianvas. "Sometimes 1 think she loves me; if I could he sure—but to what folly am I giving utterance! If I would succeed in art, I must for the present be free. Art is a jealous mistress." He did not leave his position before the easel, however, apparently having satisfied himself with the resolve he had made, and continued: 4 She in young and pretty; her face may attract, but she will not bo sought for her fortune, which I am,told is not sufficient for present necessities. I am safe to wait; when she is mlue her face} will reveal the beautiful soul within; then 1 will finish the picture. Jt lacks warmth now. When, like Pygmalion's statue, my picture smiles upon me, and—" ' The aehos had fallen from his cigar and burned a small hole in bis blouse; this roused him from his musing, and called hJm out of the visionary world so delightful to idle dreamers. Throwing the cigar into the grate, md shaking the ashes from his blouse, he returned with quick, decided step to the easel, removed ihe picture, turning the sweet face to .be wall. Its beauty was not for other eyes, a heavy curtain hung before it. "1 can not possibly see her until Iato this evening, but the longer delav, the warmer the welcome." he said In selfish complacency. Honora Clifford, the original of the T>ortralt. lived In an old-fashloncd house in another part of the city; she had known no other home, and the old house is associated wUb-ftU the recollections of her childhood. Boa lapfriarphari, left by her father's sudden death without the means of support The ]iniM« is for aato, and she must soon leave ihe old home; this thought has grown familiar to her within the two last month* Of her loneliness, as hafl the question, "How tun 1 to live?" This question Is perplexing, without causing greut anxiety, for she is young and strong, hopeful, because ignorant of tiic difllculties to he encountered. Sim liiis nccomjmshnu'iits, is musical, but there are hundreds of musical young ladles waiting for opportunities, and she makes-no account of this, as a probable means of support. Hut her crayons, Rhe had been told, are very fine, and her talent, if she has any, is to bo cultivated until success is a certainty. This she bus decided on, but without counting the cost. She has not, hitherto, beeu obliged to calculate expenses; she can live, some war, and her artist friend, Mr. Romaine, has promised'to make suggestions; possibly he mav be able to help her to dispose of her work. Her more practical friends do not believe In her crayons, and recognize the necessity of employment which will provide the means of support at once; employment such as may be undertaken by any one with good health and strong and willing hands. She feels, and Mr. Uomalne had said, there wust be other work for her; he can see, If older friends and well-meaning relatives cannot, that she is unfitted by birth and education, for such work as they would assist her to She is in an expectant mood. Mr. Romalnc has promised to come on this evening and took oyer her work carefully. Her young cousin Louise, her companion while she remains In thu old home, is fortunately out, although likely to return at any moment; her one servant is old and well trained; the opportunity, if a long time coming. Is favorable at last, and she waits the artist's coming with the Impatience ot a woman who waits for her lover. This thought occurs'to her, and a blush, faint as the palest rose tint in mother of peart, passes over her face, and brightens her daiil ayes; then she dismisses the thought, •ayldRto herself: "How foolish, when he only meant to be kind." But the blush fades, the bright face is a little clouded, for the hour Is late; so late she, can hardly exjwetto see her friend. Wheu she hnd so derided some one comes, uad the rises to receive- not Mr. Romaine, bat Mr* Hastings, her father's old friend, who adropped in, as is his custom, to counsel Mr. Romalnc came a little later; there is a hope In Ilonora's heart that Mr. Hastings will go away soon. The Impels vain; Louise is absent, he will not lenvo the (laughter of his old friend with Roy Uomalne, of whom he has heard n* a triflef with the hearts of women. Then her cousin rrlumcd, bright.and sparkling, uiHonetTiicd about the future, still safe in the shelter of home and the love of father and itiother. Soon Mr. Komalne's conversation is addressed to this carr.Vss butterfly, and snatches of it reach Ho:>orn, who listens patlontl.wps she can to suggestion•< with which she is familiar, fr-jm having heard them many *m times: they •c^ro^gl an echo repeating itself from mouth to mouth. Why would they persist h> telling her that she must eventually give up her own plana and follow theirs? They hud her best interests at heart, but ouly advice to give. Except Mr. Hastings, he promised a position lu his establishment, when there «houid be a vacancy, but this evening she finds It hard to feel grateful. She Is not desirous of filling such a position as he offers; she is willing to work, but to bo la any degree successful must follow her intuitions, and do the work which Is a pleasure. The evening passes without the opportunity for conversation with Mr. Romaiae, who takes his leave in compauy with Mr. Hastings, while Honor* biames herself for thinking Lou 1st) thoughtless and unklud. "She. knew he was to look at mj crayoua," she said to herself. Then Loulue returned to the sitting-room; she had lingered, standing in the open door. Standing beside Honora before the fire in the open grate, she remarks, carelessly; "It Is a pity Royal Rotaaine Is cot all that be might be,—he is capable of great attainments." "In what particular has he failed of being all that he might be] He Is successful as an artist." "Yes; but he does little real work. l a m told he is very idle, and that he spends more money than he can earn, living the life he does. He is everything that is agreeable, but too thoroughly selfish to care much for anything but ease and comfort." "1 think you are mistaken, or have been misinformed. Ho seems to me very earnest— in regard to work, aud to love art as ouly a true artist can," Honora replied, a little hurt, aud unable to conceal that tho careless words Dallied her. Seeing this, Louise continued: "You Ideal i/.e a man who Is really unworthy. He is fond of a gay life, aud had been drinking before he came here. That Is why I watched him down the street." Saying this, Louise holds a pretty trifle up to examine it more closely by the light It is a seal Honora had often seen on Mr. Romuine's chain. She' is conscious of a thrill of pain, baused by her cousin's words and action, but only answers the words; she docs uot choose to notice the seal. She tries to answer indifferently, but is unable to do so; her endurance has been tried to the utmost, and she exclaims, ''It is false. I wish you would be careful what you say—to me about ray friends." "Certainly, if you are really so much interested. I don't blame you either, I am more than half in Jove with him myself, but you are so iutolerent of even wine drinking I tbought bcrhaps \ou would like to know." Honora does not reply, and Louise, sure that the arrow sent was poisoned and did not 'miss the mark, is silent also. Iu her own room, Honors carefully folding her black dress, as carefully questlous her heart. If within the folds tears fall she is hardly conscious of It, so entirely i3 she obsorbed with the thought that, worthy or unworthy, she loves Royal Romaine. The veil so closely drawn hitherto, has been dudiclv lifted; the secret revealed is uot a happy one, but at last she knows her own heart, and kuows that she has given It into the keepug of a man who values a woman's heart but lightly. She does not believe the Idle gossip she has just listened to, but this she knows to be true. . . , A few weeks later Mr. Uomalne leaves the city for a short absence, something happened at the last to prevent his calling on Honara, as he had intended, aud he sent her a carefully worded note, which would, he hoped, help to keep him ip rememberance. He was not sorry that it had happened so, for written words nrc orteu colder than fhose spoken without thought, and he was, he sometimes feared, becoming thoughtless in Honora Clifford's presence. He was not forgetful of his promise concerning her crayons; he would ex amine them when he returned.; it would be ali the same. He made allusion to this in his note, saying It would be a pleasure to do this at once—ou his return. "She will be impatient for ray coming," ho said to himself, smiling a little. "Kor the present I am free,—for the future I must be governed by circumstances." So Ilonora's future was left to circumstances, and the fickle fancy of a man who was ns likely to forget her as his promises concerning her crayons, before the weeks of his absence should be couutcd; a man who was glad of this opportunity to go away for a time, who was not mistaken when he counted on his absence to create for him a new interest in the heart of the woman he would have loved hnd ha not been so thoughtlessly sclilsh. As for her, she had time to overcome the scruples which for a time made her life unhappy; they faded iu his absence, until they were but shadows; things she had feared, became familiar, and less terrible, as they looked them in the face; confronting them boldly, they retreated. From them Royal Romaine had little to (ear. Had the causes been one iu which he was greatly interested, he could not have strengthened it; more than by going away at this time. The tirst week of his absenetf she had been greatly troubled. The imperfections of which Louise had spoken, seemed to separate her from Ihe friend she trusted, as clouds shut out the glorious sunlight; so between her soul and his, the clouds of doubt and uncertainty shut out the glory through which she had beheld him; until, when a week had passed, the clouds seemed breaking, and through the rift she saw glimpses of the golden <;lory, promises of a happy future. * A month passed without word or message, and Honora realized that the loss of her friend's society was harder to bear than the knowledge of bis sins had been. Had she been less human, and more saintly, this bud not been, but she was young, and very human, living through her first trouble alone; a motherless girl, holding her more saintly qualities in reserve for the battle she is alnmst. sure to tight with life, later on. To Romaine, the weeks of his absence were much the same as other weeks of a happy, careless, bachelor etistanec; tilled with pleasures which ban.shed Honora from his thoughts for the time. y Her affairs, however, approached a crisis. The liour.e was sold, and she must soon leave it to make her 1101011 in the family of Mr. Havtiiltgs, her father's friend. She had been forced to accept the ]x>-dtiou ho offered'in his establishment, after long hesitation, which availed her nothing, for friends questioned, asking what she expect** better than tbla, and sighing, she had answered,—"I cannot tell, 1 suppose Dot anything." She sighed again, when she p a c k t i her crayons away, ready for removal; she did nol wish to see them when once she bad commenced the new life, and accepted through the pressure of circumstances, a position offered lu all kindness. So the crayon* which had seemed to her almost a part of herself, were packed anions the tilings for which the bad no present use, und would not open for some time to come. She had net left the old home, when, one evening, Mr. Romaine came in careless aud smiling, as if he had gone away but yesterday. Louise had gone home In the afternoon, and she was alone, only her old servant in tu« house. 0? "Have you been away all this long time!11 she asked, measuring time by her own expert enee. "Has it been a long time?" he asked, still smiling. ''Everything here looks, and you seem, aaif I went away last n i g h t " "I do not see b«w that la possible: everything, t h a t is, a g r e a t m a u y thiugs, are packed away, and so much has happened—to me." •be replied sadly. "Indeed!" he exclaimed, with well-assumed sympathy, Judging by her look and tone thai whatever hud happened was of an unpleasant nature. •"I would have come if I co-aid." was big next remark: he wished to imply that his absence was enforced; a matter of regret to him self, as perhaps It was for the moment, looking Into eyes made radiant bv his softly-spoken words aud looks of admiration which she bad mistaken for honest, manly love. "I waDted to see you about ray crayons," she said at last, her voice tremulous, for what part had the cruyons iu the dull life she was going to? * ' T know," he replied absently; "you will not forget them to-night I hope. I was sorry, particularly when I had to go away suddenly." The deep fringed lashes touched Honora's cheeks, from which the color retreated; her face became still as the pictured face In the studio; ouly a moment since the expression the artist waited tov calch, seemed hovering about the sweet mouth, so suddeuly cold and expressionless. He wished to see her face when love had awakened her sleeping heart. forget her crayons! As if she had ever, could ever forget them! The expression Mr. Romalnc waited for was not likely to reiurn to the face from which all color had lied; without it the picture must remain unfinished, with something missing In the sweet face. A consciousness that something in his words had caused this change came to him suddenly; he could hardly recall them, something about her crafyons; what could he have said to hurt her so? Her lips parted, and a few- words, faintly spoken, siruggled through; they were simple enough, but meant so much—to her. "My crayons are packed away with other useless things. I will not trouble you. I have accepted a position, and my duties will occupy all my time. My friends thought It was time to decide to do something, and this provides me with a home and a little money which, after all, one cannot live without." "Indeed, no!" the artist answered, seeing a vision of unpaid bills which had watted bis return, but, Lad it really gone so far J He was sorry, a little; as sorry as he could be for an. one beside himself. "Huijora," he asked, calling her for the first time by this name, "are your friends to be. pleased by what makes you unhappy! Have you no choice?" "They think something they cail work better for me!" "Could you not have waited!" he asked. "I did wait-—so long," she replied, feeling that at last she was likely to talk it all over with some one who could understand the difference between the work one loved aud the work one must do to live. The hour she had waited for was conic; perhaps, after all, her crayons would be unpack ed; she had decided her future in the absence of her best friend. Then, all at once, her new-found peace left her, the blessed quiet of the hour was broken; the rustle of silken garments, the fairest breath of perfume, the frosty air from without, announced her cousin's return, bringing with her the stir of the life without; herself young, buoyant and free from all care. The spell was broken; the moment had passed. Her friends seemed now to belong to that outer life, from which Louise had come, and in which she lived her frivolous life; the newly- awakened look of Interest in her trouble faded from his face; he wa« again the careless, indifferent man of the world. He welcomed her cousin with the same smile she had rejoiced in a few hours earlier; his tones conveyed the same meaning of tenderness tp her cousin's ear as to her own, and she turned away with a chill which seemed feezing her blood. So faded the last opportunity of escape from a life of toil, a life for which she felt herself wholly unfitted; she must commence her duties the following week. Not the opportunity alone, but the friend had failed her. For all tho sweet day9 of her youth only the dull routine of office work remained. As the door closed on MY. Uomalne, Louise exclaimed: "I am more than half In love with your handsome friend, Honora. How do you manage to keep heart wbloei If he were not so insincere, he would be dangerous to one's peace 9! mlud: as it is—he is not worth a se rious tftotfgfct" So the trifler rattled on. until turning, she found that Honora had left the room. But not without hearing the idle words to which she did not wish to reply. The winter passed, tho pleasant springtime enme, and throughout all nature new life stirred. The days were long, and it was still light wheu Honora had finished her dally task. One evening on her way to Mr. Hastings'! house, her home now, she met Mr. Romnine» who, turning, accompanied her to the house; the same th ng happened of ten,until at length she understood Chat thi« meetings were fpt accidental, but that. Mr. Romalnc walked \M that direction purposely. Then the old madness returned. Hl» ft.ul *ere lo her as if th'ev had not been Why could she not understand! The false accined to her the truth; metal had to ber ear the r u g of gold. It wa» strange that the appearance Of love could satisfy ber heart, without the words which should have assured her ot its reality. As time passed, Mr. Romaine became a frequent vi-11 tor at Mr. Hastings's house, culling always for Miss Clifford, coming so frequently that the kindly old gentleman questioned Hoiw>ra concerning his ylslta. "Friend or lover, Honora!'* be asked, one iluy, when they were speaking of the artist "Friend," »he replied, feeling that she bad no assuraucc of a warmer feeling than friendship, and conscious that the word did not truthfully express the relations between Mr. Romaine and herself. II s manner was that of a lover, his words those of a friend. 'Y<<u must pardon me for having questioned, Honora I seem,, to myself to be In your father's place. May I speak as I feel certain he would, were he still vslth you I" "Certainly," ahe answered, a little coldly. "Mr. Romaine seems to me insincere as a friend, questionable as a lover; he belong* to a class of men dangerous to the bapptaeea of thu women who love them; If hi* vlaite are made only us a frJeud, you must ask blm not to come so frequently, that they are noticeable, but If you conclude to accept your friend as a lover; if your heart is interested, I do not presume to dictate. The question is one you must decide for yourself. This is righ t, is It not?" he asked, kindly. Honora did not answer without taking time for thought, then she said, slowly: "It may be; but the request you would have me make is a difficult o n e " "It should uot be—under the circumstances. I recollect having met Mr. Romaine in the old house; Since then he has had time to decide even so momentous a question as this." The meeting alluded to was still fresh In Honora's memory; it had changed everything for her, or she thought it had, aud she answered quickly: "It may not seem hard to you—a man; to me Jt is very hard to request a friend whose visits I enjoy, and who is kind to me, not to come often." She was flushed, and there was a tremor iu her voice which betrayed more than she intended. Mr. Hastings was pained, hut did not think it best to let his young friend know it; taking her hand, be said kindly: "Honora, I am an old friend, and a true one. Believe If you can that what I tell you now is true. Mr. Romaine has without doubt other friends with whom to pass bis time,— that Is, if friendship is the only tie between you." A thought of Louise flashed through Honora's mind; she was one of the "other friends" with whom he could pass hla time, while she, —alas, she eared for no other. The evenings Mr. Romaine met or visited her made up her life; all the hours and days between were those of waiting. He came to the house soon after this conversation, calling for Miss Clifford as Usual. The evening was fine, and the room full of fragrance of early blossoms from the garden beyond; the same fragrance in after years never failed to recall this evening to Honora's mind. Her friend seemed to her something more thau a friend; so quietly content in her presence, eo watchful of every look aud motion, that the hard duty Mr. Hastings had imposed upon her seemed even more difficult than she expected; she felt sure that he waited his own time to speak; If she, too, could wait, all might be well with them. Louise and "other friends" were forgotten. She was more silent than usual,'thinking it all over, waiting for the right moment in which to make her ungracious request It was not long before the opportunity offer. Her sileu e was noticed by Mr. Romaine, who asked the cau6e. When she had told him, as best she could, she raised her eyes, meeting his frankly. "You wish to make conditions," he 9ald, coldly. "I am forced to do so, she replied, her courage fast failing her. "In other words, Honora, TOU , wish to send me away, but so kindly that I may avail myself of your permission to call occasionally. I prefer staving away altogether to complying with conddions so coldly calculating." "No!" she exclaimed, "I do not wish to send you away ! You must know I enjoyvour company, but—" She stopped In some confusion she could explain herself no further. "But—" he repeated, "what am I to understand!" Another question for which she had no answer. He could help her if he would, but looking in his face she sees noencouragement; it remains as before, cold and impassive. The very coldness strengthened her, however. She has been a long time learning this, but knows now that if he loves her he will understand ber painful position. "That you must do as I request" "Must! You are mistaken, H o n o r a ! ' I remain your friend, coming to you as nowL with out conditions, or I go to-night to cdmeno more. If you loved me—but you do not, and words on the subject are only wasted." Honora listened silently. There was nothing to be said unless she surrendered ber higher self to the selfish will of the man she loved, and this she could not do and remain true to herself. Tho shadow of a great sorrow settled on ber face, seeing the inevitable end, but her resolve was firm; an acknowledgment of her love should uot be forced from her; it was not manly to exact it, neither womanly to comp'y; for even to her partially blinded vision aud judgtneut, it was given to see and know that if he loved her he would have spoken other words. "It is hardlv a question of lov<»," she said, at length, when she could speak without revealing the tumult wdhiu; "It is your own choice If you do uot coma at all." "Not so. It Is mv choice that our relations remain friendly; you make this impossible by sending me awav—for no reason at all, or not worth mentioning." So they parted, ru sundcrstanding each other to the last; rach earing more than the other knew, for Romaine finally eonclu-Jtftl that Honora loved him us he desiwfT to be loved and had gone to her w>frh"the intention of asking her to Iw hisjvrfe' The conditions she proposed proyaMited this; he bad uot won the love .JJrlT' would satisfy his exacting iatup»r^^\Vlidy Honora luved hlin as she was y to love again, she claimed her woman's rights of being won; if her love mas vo-th haviuj; H -va* WOTU; the asking, —w so she let ber lorer—we may •»? ibe word* 'now—go away, past tbe old garden, oat of ber life; quiet with the atUlnrs* of • great sorrow, she watched him down the street Tbe summer passed. Royal Romaine went with his sketch-book to the mountains. Honora remained In tbe city, going and reluming lo her work with a beavr heart, until August when Mr. Hastings proposed ber going to his cottage by tbe seashore for the rest and change sns> needed. When ahe returned she knew that Mr. Romaine waa at work In his studio, bat there were no chaace meetings as of old; each seemed resolved to avoid the other; he thinking she would of herself recall him, as many would have dona in her place, or others less valued than ahe had been had done. Sometimes she thought that be would return. A hasty ring of Ihe door-bell, a eull for Misa Clifford, would send her down atairs expectant but only for a fresh disappointment each time. He never came. There remains but little to say. Something occurred the following winter which caused' tbe artist to turn the unfinished picture U> the wall once more, this time covering It with a heavy clatb, lu appearance resembling a pall It was like the picture of a dead face to him one to which he might never give even the semblance of life. As be turned away, be said sadly: "Her beauty will never be perfected. I t needed love to give it life. She cannot love a man of bis years; it is impossible." As a relief from tbe bondage of toll, Honora had forged other chains than those which had bound her so long; she had married au old man, the radiaut light of love might never illumine her face, or warm her heart, but when, after months of rest, and pleasant jonrneyings, she returned to her home, she was beautiful. Still with her old beauty, Royal Romaine admitted this, "after meeting her for the first time since they parted, at her cousin's home. "She wears ber cbaius gracefully, but they are chains, and bind her fast Those of tbe eld days were better. I think I loved her be^ ter than I shall ever love another." Her mental comment was: "He has not forgotten Louise. I suppose be amused himself by visiting me when shewas not at home." So we blind ones judge each other. Honora's husband died a year from her wedding day. On the same day Royal Romaine led her cousin Lousie to tbe altar. My Love and L My love and I sat under The group of lime trees yonder, Together hand in hand. Not e'en a leaf stirred lightly— The sun was shining brightly O'er all the silent hind. We sat In joy unbroken, No useless word was spoken, Our hearts scarce beating more. We spoke not, for why shouid we? Nor questioned, foi how could we? VVe knew enough before. We had no wish, no sorrow- No yearning for the morrow, No loved one far away; 'Twilt loving eyes a greeting, 'Twixt loving lips a meeting, Was all that passed that day.

" C o m e here, m y little child- Poor-House Bob, J. L. Harbour in Golden Days. A good many years ago 1 taught a small village school In a thinly-settled county on the prairies of Illinois. T h e school-house was as much unlike even the country school-house of the present day as it could well be. Most of t h e houses In the neighborhood were primitive structures, but comfortable withal. They had great wide fireplaces, into which there went such huge "backrlogs as 1 have not seen for many years. ^ My school-house was of rough logs chinked with mud. There was a small window at the side of the door, and one on either side of the house. A tire-place almost as wide as the house filled the other end of the room. T h e floor was that provided by Nature; the seats were mostly of slabs, so clumsily a n d carelessly made that, as the boys used to say, they tumbled over if you "even looked at t h e m , " and of course there was no lack of boys who diligently and gladly Improved every opportunity that otlVred for upsetting the seats a n d the pupils who sat on them. On cold and stormy days we would pile the oak and hickory logs high In that old fireplace, and bid defiance to wind and snow, poor as the house was. A good many men who have achieved fame and fortune were boys in jeans a n d h o n v s p u u in that old log school-house. I did not begin teaching until late in November, and on the third day of school it stormed furiously all day, sothat the attendance was very small, most of the boys and girls having to come two and three miles over snow-covered roads. 1 did not expect any new scholars, but one came a few minutes after school had been ealle I to order. It was so cold, and there were so few scholars, that I h a d given them permission to come as close t o the fire as they pleased, and they were sitting •• a dozen or more of t h e m - I n a half circle before the roaringrlam.es, when the door opened softly, and there came into t h e room a small, poorly-dressed, homely boy of about fourteen years, with | a thin, odd, old tace. H e did not have any overcoat, his boots were ragged and were not mates, his trousers, were old and thin, and his coat was out at the elbows, lie was blue and shivering with the cold; in his hand he carried a n old, dog-eared blue sj>e11 ing book1 ftnd-a~er*4*ed slate. - - "How tie d o . ' " he said, with a smile, as he closed the door behind him. "Coinl morning," 1 replied. "Come to to the fire and get warm. Make room for him, some of you boys here " But none of the boys seemed inclined to move, and 1 heard Pent Sifer whisper to Harvey Drake: "! ain't going to move none for Poorhouse I Job." "1 a i n ' t e i t h e r , " r e p l i e d Harvey. "Poorhouse porpers ain't no business coming to school, a n y h o w . " "Benton Sifer." I said, "you and Harvey go hack to your seat^. \ our faces are fairly red with the heat, and you ought to be willing to give new comers a chance to get w a r m . " The boys sullenly obeyed, and 1 said to the new scholar: "Here, my boy. ronie and take this seat. What Is your name'.'" " B o b . " "What, e l s e " " I asked. "Bob Crale's my real name, but folks round here call me Porehouse Bob, 'cause I live to the porehouse. " " W e l l , " I said, "I shall not call you that, no matter wheie you live. A r e called 4me t h a t l *ald so over 'n over a g a i n . " •See hero boys " l Hald sharply that night alter school, when all ray pupils but Bob and lient had g u e homo, "this won't d a ' " I t won't do for him to call me n a m e s , " -aid Bob sturdily. " W h o s a-calllng n a m e s , " retorted Bent, " l o u d be If you da at to, and t h e — " "Hush, h u s h ! " 1 said. And the dialogue euded then and there between Bob and Bent. What 1 said an 1 did need not be recorded here. B o b and Bent did not again come to blows that wluter, although they clashed in other ways. T h e poor-house w a s a* good a s any other house In the neighborhood, and all flie, tawillles were poor enough, but It was considered a deep and lasting disgrace to become an inmate of the poor-house. Although, as 1 took occasion to find out, Bob's story was quite true, and he stayed at the poorhouse only that h e might be with and care for his Invalid father, and notwithstanding the fact that he worked like a drudge on the poor farm, there were not lacking unkindly disposed boys and girls who regarded him with great disfavor because he stayed under the poorhouse roof. In their eyes there could be n o extenuating circumstances for such disgrace, a n d Bob was dally made t o feel that he was a social outcast in t h e aristocratic community In which he lived. I was surprised t o know that some of the parents entertained t h e same feeling toward Bob. One day old Peter Shafer, one of the trustees of t h e school district, overtook me on my way home from school, and Invited me to "tumble In a n ' hev a r i d e . " So I "tumbled i n " to t h ' rattling old wagon, and presently Mr. Shafer said: " I hear Porehouse Bob's a-comin' reg1- lar to school now. " "Yes. as regularly a s he c a n , " 1 said; "he comes a part of every day. " "Wall. 1 reckon ihe b o y o r t to hev some eddication. but it's kinder gallin' to some of us to hev our children 'sociating with porehouse trash " "Indeed, Mr. S h a f e r . " I said, warmly, "Bob is a well-behaved boy, and he is not a pauper in the popular sense of the t e r m . " " H e lives in the porehouse, a n ' lives oa what our taxes pervides, don't h e ? " " H e pays his w a y , " 1 said. " T h e keeper of the poor farm told me himself that Bob mo:e than paid In hard work the expense he and his father were to the count y . " "Wall, folks that lives to the porehouse is gin'rally called p o r p e i s , " said Mr. Shafer. doggedly, "and 1 reckon i t ' s a good n a m e f e r ' e m . 1 don't think i t ' s hardly fair that they kin go to school, a n ' set with an» hev the same privileges as decent folks' children. I never see nothin' good come of n porehouse porper yit. " Nothing I could do or say could create a kindly feeling for poor Bob among his schoolmates, and h i s own good conduct) counted for nothing. __ He was a sensitive boy, and felt his polots better show'' t h a n he hod. '4 T h e trustees often c a n e in to hear the school s| ell on Friday after noma, a n i l could sea that Peter Shafer was determined t h a t Billy should win lr possible, " B e a s easy a t you k i n on his other s t u d i e s , " he said t o me one day. "If h e kin rake In that scholarship, h e k i n easy is that in aui t is as di licult for Massachusetts to se. ^eure the abolition >i t h e death penalty as It Is in Michigan to restore it. At almost every session of late years an effort has been made to Induce t h e Massachusetts legislature to substitute imprisonment for life for the death penalty, and the present legislature Is importuned to make t h e change.

One day he sent me a letter, a part of which ran as follows: " i still have a scholarship left In Sawyer's college, and I have been thinking that I could not put it to better us? than to let sinne of those bright boys in your school earn it, if they have the spirit to do so. 1 don't intend giving it to anybody.

So you can settle who shall have the scholarship by a grand stand-upand- spell-dowu spelling match on the last day of school. Th:? one that stands u p longest shall have the scholarship. " 1 read this letter to the school one afternoon when all of tho trustee* and several other visitors were p r e s e n t It created a great sensation, and nothing else was talked oi for'a long time. As many as a do/.en boys declared their intention of competing for tho scholarship. Sawyer's college was for boys and young men only; s o t h a t t h e girU of the school could not compete. _, !'.?>?tr,» s ' f e ' .

I ' m feerd he 11 uever see the i n Ide of a college, If he loses this chance. " T h e parents of Bent and Harvey were equally anxious t h a t their sons should win the prl/e, so that the contest became very fierce as the term drew to a closa W h e n t h e great day came t h e little school house could not contain all who came t o witness t h e contest. It w a s a warm, sunny afternoon i n early April, so w a r m that we could have the windows open, and a crowd stood around eyery window a n d a t t h e opeu door. Bll)V Shafer and Harvey Drake "chosa u p . " Every scholar in t h e school w h o could spell at all was cho en. They took their places In t w o rows, facing each other, and wero to "spell a c r o - s " until one side had "spelled d o w n " t h e other. T h e n all were t o rise again, and the final contest was t o be made. A s each pupil failed to spell a word, he sat down, and the one standing last would be declared the winner. Harvey and Billy had chosen sides, and we were about t o begin t o spell, when 1 noticed that B o b Crale h a d not been chosen. " W a l t a m o m e n t , " 1 said. "Here is Bob Crale; one of you choose htm. " " W e re even sides u o w , " said Billy. "1 chos^' last; you can have h i m , " said Harvey. " I t don't make any difference If the sides are„even n o w , " I said, sharply. " 1 intend that Hob shall spell. Here B o b , " 1 added, "go on H a r v e y ' s s i d e . " " I guess you a i n ' t gained m u c h , " said Billy to Harvey, In a half whisper, emboldened by t h e presence of his father, who still thought that "porpers hadn't ort to go to school with decent f o l k s . " T h e n the spelling began. In about a n hour Harvey's side h a d spelled the other side down, Billy missing purposely, 1 think, t h a t the great contest, might the sooner begin. There was perfect stillness in the room w h e n sixty boys of the school stood in row ready for t h e final contest. Bob had missed " t y r a n n o u s " in the first contest, spelling It with but one " n , " and several of the boys had tittered maliciously when he sat down. They tittered again w h e n he took his place with the others for the final contest He was t h e t h i n n e s t palest, poorestclad boy ot them all. and I wondered that he stood up with the others in t h e final contest, but was glad that he had the pluck to do so when defeat seemed so sure. T h e other boys had stood u p long after he had sat down in the preceding trial. For fifteen minutes not a word missed. Then-four boy* nii.-sed s i s . " a w a s "paraly- Three more failed to spell a word that I do not remember, t w o more failed on "phytoehimy,' and Bob spelled It corre tly, to theevident surprise of theother boy* as well as my own. Bert Dean and Lou Heard missed "synergy, and Bob. pale a n d trembling, spelled it ( o n e tly. The exciteu.eut in creased. A moment later 1 pronounced tho word "cylinder" to Harvey Drake. Without a moment's hesitation, he spelled it with two " I s . " " N e x t " l said. " D i d n ' t I spell It r i g h t ? " he asked "Spell it a g a i n . " 1 said.

And Bob, pale to tho lips, but with per feet steadiness a n d clearness of spelled it right. He and Billy Shafer They stood face t o face, win. A flush of anger spread over tho grim features of Peter Shafer. i m l i i l l v " " "Don't let d o w n ! " This ill-advised speech won Bob sympa t i m e r s and p u t him on his mettle. Mr. Deatie. keeper of t h e poor-house, retaliate I for Bob. "Mind your p's and i\% Bob, " he said, 'and show 'em that paupers ain't of a ne- (essity fools.'.' For forty minutes the boys spelled slowly, steadily and with extreme caution Bob amazed me and the s ho ol, Vinal y I gave t h e word " p e r e r r a t i o n " to Billy.

A S t r i k e O r d e r e d — 1 1 , 0 0 0 M e n A f f e c t e d . A strike has bt en ordered on the Chicago, Iiurlington.it Quincy railroad system. The strike promises to be the most, remarkable ever known, for in it the strongest single labor organi ation in existence lias been pitted against the largest railroad corporation in tlie west and one of the greatest in..-.mileage- and .-wealth—in—t luv world. Should the strike long continue it is probable that in addition to the 1,400 men directly L volved the great majority of the 14,0:X) employes of the company will be thrown out ef work, the ^.000 members of the Kngineets' I' ^therhood throughout the country called upon to contribute of their savings, and the industries of a vast section of country tributary to the road subjected to a partial paralysis. The far-reaching ejects of the strike can be inferred trom the fact that the road has (5,0()0 miles of main and leased line cridironing tho states of Illinois, owa, Missouri and Nebraska. From Chicago it reaches to Denver, Col., over 1,000 miles away, and Cheyenne, Wy. T., equaMy as far. Minneapolis to the north and St Louis to the south are within its reach—tho territory o an empire. The refusal of the < . H. & ()'., company to do away with classified wages for railroad engineers has undoubtedly precipitated tho strike. The reason of the brotherhood's stand against classified wages was that the roads were beginning to discharge the higher-i riccd mem.

Washington Letter. From Our Correspondent. WASHIKQTON, MABCH 7th, 1888. It takes Congress a long time to pall tself together for the tariff fight. It is binted however, that when it does get good and ready it will make the wool fly, to say nothing ot the coal, lumber, sugar, with other raw and bloody material, well, we shall see, but judging the future by the past. Congress will talk and talk and do nothing, or, at best, little. Too many conflicting selfishness for the general good. Too long since Congress was elected for the remembrance ot platforms and pledges. Apropos of this it was Mr. Cram, oi Texas, who work m three months after the election instead of thiiteen as it now is. Anything to cure the evils of the "short session" of Congress, It is argued with reason that under the proposed plan Congress will be fresher trom the people and less likely to forget the promises made in the platform and on the stump. Oh those stumps, those stumps; what frustrums of broken pledges of iion jawed demagogues! It's nothing to laugh about, but a deadly serious thing. This country has grown big and unwieldly i.t is true. Quite too large for the small clothes of 1788, and the unwieldinexs off the legislature fcts far outgrown that of the country. Congress positively will not work. It devotee itself to society, poker, intrigue, flirtation, verbal flatulence and adjournment. Every two years the districts send here a lot of tresh statesmen, open mouthed with wonder hke a rustic at a circus. By the time their two years novitiate is over and when they are halt prepared to do something, they are relegated to private life and a lot of other utterly unseasoned men are elected. The dreary rate is repeated mrnrj two years. The country is joonfr and vigorous and has so far survived it. But it must be. retormed altogether AUT DELEKDA ERIT REPUBLICA. ^ ^ Then when the Congressional ses- «ions are reconstructed, or before, for that matter, we want another Constitutional amendment fixing Inauguration Day upon the anniversary of the first Inauguration, the 30th. of April, a pleasant season of the year. Washingtonians are not the only holiday makers on that day. The thousands ot visitors irora the States who flocked here to shiver and catch pneumonia, as they did on the occasion ot Grant's second Inauguration, for instance, will all be delighted at tne change, while the steadily increasing multitude which comes to Washington on these occasions to revive patriotism and give the new President an enthusiastic send off will also be interested in the matter. Since Mr. Vilas has taken charge of the Interior Department it feels the impulse of an energetic and strong hand. A shaking up was badly needed. The Patent office and the Public Land Office are deplorably behind With their work, and the termer is in a state bordering on demoralization. The prfesent Commissioner of Patents, an exemplary man, and a good real estate lawyer, came to the Office with little or no knowledge of the intricate and responsible work before him. But few people are aware of the immensity and importance ot the National Patent Office. The commissioner of Patents found himself at the head of corps of principal Examiners, a board of Appeals, a court ot interferences, a draftsman's division, the Patent Office Gazette, and a large corps of clerks. It is in exaggeration to say that there was not an examiner in the corps but knew more abuut the intricate and perplexing routine ot the Office than his Chief. Had Mr. Hall addressed himself to the actual work of the Office, which, on account of the idleness and shirking of employes, was far in arrears, he might m spite of his freshness have done well. But hke many neophites, he signalized his advent by a series ot rulings that have thrown the practice into contusion worse confounded, and iet back for months the pressing and engorged business of the Patent Office. The situation is truly deplorable, and the only remedy would seem to be to have Mr. Hall join Mr. Sparks, the late Commissioner of the Land Office. Certainly if Mr. Cleveland had know anything about the business of the Office, he would have appointed some one from the ranks. There are at least a score of experienced men who have been in the Department tor years, any one of whom would make a good Commissioner of Patents. To-day were held the obsequies of Washington's noted ohilanthropist, Mr. W. W. Corcoran. According to the expressed wish of the grand old man bis funeral was unostentatious. He had himself named his pall bearers, and he was laid away in the beautiful marble manoleum beside his wife and children, m Oak Hill cemetery, whica he, many years ago, presented to his native town. (Georgetown). His death excited as much comment at the Capitol as if he had been in public life. A Congressman who had known him said. He was one ot the finest exponents of practical Christianity, I have ever known. M A HEME TONIC. Celery and Coca, too prominent In* are toe beet and aaftet ames fiucklen's Arnlea Salve.

Dr. Hunter, of Holly, has again tested his hydrophobia cure. February 11 he inoculated eight rabbits, and alter one week he commenced to administer the antidote to four of these inoculated, and tbey have shown no^signs of the tatal epidemic. The other four were left undisturbed ana about the same time Friday each of the four rabbits had a fit, immediately attar which Mr, Hunter gave two a hypodermic injection of his antidote. The rabbits have shown no further signs of disease, but the two that the doctor gave no attention died a short time ago, alter having three tits. Dr. Hunter is confident that bis cure is a sura one as it ban worked perfectly successful on every trial thus far. Livingston Herald: Mrs. John Weimaater died at her home in this village, last evening at 8:30. Mrs. Wei master was bom iu Germany and came to this country with her husband, about thirty-tivfi years ago, and settled in what has long been known as the A ditch grocery in Genoa. About twenty jjmr* ago, they moved to this city, 4 where they have since resided. For e years past her health has continto grow more and more feeble unyesterday morning when she took It her bed. About six o'clock last •f ening, her friends saw that she waa fcing and summoned her relatives, Who were most of them around her when she passed away. The deceased was a member of the German church of this city, and her pastor, Rev. A. Halmbuber conducted the funeral services at her late home in this block, Saturday, at 1P.M. Marion cor. to Livingston Democrat: lit*' melancholy fate of Mrs. John BrigUam ig probably known through* JEh*county ere-this,. M».B,wa*J ssscs^^^s the youngett daughter of the late Ezra W. Fairchild, of this towntJupT brother of AlberVj?eircb>l<i, late o Genoa, BOW of California. In girlb the waa a retired, mudttt, studious pei «on. Having arrived at maturity, was married 19 or 18 years ago to Hr. Brigbam, and fpr several ye*r»lived in Kalamaaoo counly. The marriage was fppjr an4 the couple attimuieted itntelroe to each other and proaper*d worldly matters. About eight or fcjn yaart ago the- couple moved lock to Marion, Mr. Brigham having bought the Chariot Curtis tarm. He went into debt tome thousands of dollars. He and the were very industrious, and economical, thereby continuing to protper. Good judgement and prompt action toon overcame tae immense debt that lay upon their shoulders, and many conveniences were acquired to that things looked bright for a long and happy life. Amidst all their prosperity acute dibeate laid hold upon Mr. Brigham, and about eleven months ago he was gathered to hit father a. leaving Mary Brigham and her two son* to gripple with the stern realities of life. The boys were aged about tss and fifteen years. Mrs. B. was thought on account of her large buuneat capacity to be equal to the task, bnt all things did not meet expectation; therefore, ber mind became harassed and she fell into the hallucination that the was conversing with her departed husband. This temporary delation toon swallowed np her identity to that nothing could be done only at directed by thit imaginary agency, thereby clogging the wheels ot businest and undermining her mental faculties. Things were perverted and she became a paradox of her former self; and the woman of superior mind was afloat in a tea of haze without a rudder (mind) to ateer. On Friday, the 24th day of Feb., 1888, she was taken to the Eastern Asylum for the insane at Pontiac Much sympathy is expressed for those orphan children; and much surprise at the melancholy fate of Mrs. Brigham. Of ^11 women she was the last to be suspected of a weakening mind. It is incomprehensible to the public how *o great a change became susceptible in so short a space of time. It was not for want of bread, the family being well provided with all ot lite's necessaries—a luxurious home and a beautiful farm, all paid for, I think, and in a splendid neighborhood. Neither was it for the want of friends, for she was much esteemed, well-knwn and ever admired for her courage and fortitude throughout her busy lite. tf What Bank Tellers de After Working Hoars. "Do you know what a good many bank tellers and men who handle large amounts ot gold and stlyer coins do at the close of the day?1 quered a former bank clerk. "Go home, probably." "Yes; but not until they have looked through their metal cash for rare coins." "Do they ever find any?" "Certainly they do sometimes, though not so yery often. It is a lottery. The fact that some of the rarest of American coins have been picked up in ordinary circulated keeps their eyes peeled. They know values pretty well, and the sanguine cherish the hope of unearthing one of the missing dollars of 1804, which are worth fSOO each. V + In fact, as high as $800 has been offered and refused. The halt dollar of 1852, representing liberty seated, is in circulation. It is worth $1.75. The quarter of 1853, with rays, is also occasionally met It brings $2. Among silver dollars of recent coinage, the 1858 dollar, representing liberty seat* ed, is the most valuable. It is worth $15. So is the tame coin oi 1888. Both are in circulation. The twenty cent piece of 1877 is worth $1.50 and of 1878 $1.25. They are to be met, though rarely. The valuable dimes and halt dimes were all coined before 1846. The silver three cent piece of 1873, with the large star, brings 60 cents; the copper two cent piece of the same year is worth the samn. The flying eagle cent of 1856 sells tor $1.

Fifteen years ago John H. Erlcksou was a hard-working, inoffensive Swede, and lived near Marquette. He had saved 8100 when one night he was induced by a number of gamblers to go into a gaiue in a saloon. They sue eeded in i eecing him of most of h a savings, and a forcible attempt t-> secure the remainder ended in a terrible row, during which Erickson drew a pistol and shot dead one of the gang, lie knew not a word of Knglish, and when arraigned in court at once pleaded guilty to the shooting. On November 22, 1873, he was sentenced to the state prison at Jackson for life. The advisory pardon board have carefully reviewed the case and believe that Erickson was only guilty of manslaughter at most He has been unconditionally pardoned by Gov. Luce. The Governor commutes the sentence of Michael McGraw, who was sent to Jack- Son from Wexford, August :\ 1877, for* 15 years tor u atislaughter. to expire on the l'Jth of this month instead < f May 22, as it would if allowed to run^durlng the full time, i »wing to a miscalculation McGraw was informed that his term would expire on the former dale an 1 has counted confidently on his discharge then. Ho felt ^o badly when informed of the error and has been so e emplary a prisoner that Gov. Luce commuted his sentence.' S u s t a i n e d i n t h e M a i n . The liquor law is unanimously held to Le in the main constitutional. This Is the effect of the decision of the supreme court In the liquor cases. There are, however, several important provisions in the act whichare declared to be unconstitutional. They are as follows: l. The clause which permits arrest without due piocess of law. 8. Tlic provision giving the common council power to determine arbitrarily whether the applicant for a license to sell liquor is or is not a fit person to have a license. ;;. The i rovision giving the treasurer of the county the power of arbitrary determination of whether a new bond is necessary or not. *'.

A Lang Free List, Including Lumber, Wool and Salt. SIXTY MILLIONSA YEAR REDUCTION IN TARIFF. ' An Kpitome of WMhlngton Newt. T h e much-mated tariff bill has finally been submitted, it is very voluminous, covering 10 pages, and its frame™ estimate that, If passed, it would reduce taxation about }> 0,000,000 ami ally. Michigan interests are the first feature of the hill, lumber of every kind, in logs, sawed or manufactured, going on the free list. with the provlsothat no country shall have this privilege that charges expbrt duty on its J o g . :*alt is the {•ecoud item of the bib. and is made free, when imported from any country which does not charge an import duty upon t a ' t e\ported from the I'nited State-. Copper ore and raw wool are also free, and manufactured woolen goods get a big cut. No internal revenue changes are propose 1 by the bill. The subject was left, purposely, for lack of time, to the consideration of the full committee. It is rumored, too, that the democratic members are preparing an Internal revenue bill to be submitted at an early day. The penalties are made more stringent for bribery or feelltg Inspectors of customs or for any irregularities in inspection of baggage. The government is authorized to bring suit for the value of merchandise fraudulently imported after such merchandise has passed into the hands of the importer. The other provisions are all of a minor character. Of the redactions made by the bill, amounting to from $50,000,000 to $¢0,000.- 0U0 ) er year, ¢22,000,000 is caused by additions to the free list, $12,000,000 from reductions on woolens, 811,000,000 from reductions on sugar, S3,000,000 on metals, 31,000,000 on sundries, and 81,000,000 on cotton. The framers claim that it removes inconsistences of the present tariff in a spirit of fairness to all industries; that it breaks up trusts, corners, and other dishonest combinations, and that It warrants no disturbance of business and causes no Injury to istablished Interests.

Higher up upon the beach a young girl sat aloue, watcblug the children with u wistful longing In her grave brown eyes, as if In her heart she longed to be among them at I heir merry play; but from the bill above her the great windows of Llyn Aderllyn overlooked the beach, and Faith swaiHUiu knew how It would aBtonlsh Mrs. lb to see her Joining in her pupils' So the yearn lug eyes wandered out ^ihe sco, and in their depth* tbere gathered a strange, sud loneliness, which was gradually becoming habitual to them, but which the mother ana sister far away bad never seen in them through all the eighteen Mars that they had been the very suushlne of fe*:;5fflt»lug little home. «41 wind, gliding from the south along •Built waves, coaxingly touched the rhtful little face; but its gentle breath undisturbed the two Croat tears which stood tbere as Faith sat motionless, thinking nothing now of the little ones at their play; thinking ouly of the old life that seemed so far away, when she and Esther—always brlgntly busy, always busily bright—had worked much harder in their cottage home than she was working now In this new life, and yet had never, never felt so weary; seeing ouly the dear loved faces which might now be looking out beyond the tremulous Jasmine leaves round the cottage window, with just the look which she remembered well, as the voice she so dearly loved spoke of the absent one. Yet it wns better that she had come, Faith felt, tilting her hat over her wide, wistful eves, uud still bravely holding back the tears. She would never again rebelllously wonder why it should be better that the three who loved each other best in all the worla should have to sepiirate—the three who had only each other to love. It was better that she had come. There were only pupils enough near home to occupy Esther; but here she, too, might work to help her mother, and to relieve Esther. Yes, It was better that she had come; she would never let herself feel otherwise just because, not being very patient nor very strong, she felt at times a little lonely and a little weary. And now the children ran up from tbe sand and threw themselves beside Faith, leaning against her, and seeking her caressing touch, as with little rapt faces turned to the sea, they watched the sun drop llugerlngly down beyond the glistening waters, So intent was their iontr, silent ga^e, that a gentleman coming from the great gray bouse, the towers of which rose above the woods, was close upon thcra before hi« step had disturbed them. For a minute hi) stooii, qutctlv observing the group; then he laid one hand on little Etta's bend. The child turned with a qutck start, then sprung to her feet with a cry of delight "Oh, Mr. Glendower, then you've come home! I'm so glad!" With a smile, halt of amusement, half of curiosity, Victor Olendower held out his'' hand lo Faith; and, though the children were all ebatieriug in concert, he managed to talk tiJMf, too* and witn such an innate courtesy aadLwuh a pleasant drollery, that SQOU a NeAf laughter filled the eyes In which the ttarsyet lingered, and with a great thankfulness be^an to fill the sad heart. "As you eo cleverly discovered, Etta, I am come home. I was tired of Germany, and longed to see Flar Olendower again. Have you been -to see l'las Gcndower yeti" He was speaking to Faith^but not knowing how to adilress her, he could only turn to her and ask the question with a gentle deference. She had no need to answer, for the children cried thut weeks ago they had taken her to see the Via*; and she.had seen "the boatp, and the bird?, and the flowers and everything." "And now that I am come homo hero to row the boata, and let out the blrd3, and cut the flowers, you will come again, I hope." After this there was hradly a day that Victor Glendower did not either come to Llyn Aderllyn or take the children and -Faith to spend the long, bright afternoons upon the water. But manv and many of these summer days had passed before Faith guessed whv he sought her always, telling her so much of himself, and waiting so eagerly for her gentle sympathy—before she guessed bow he had been gradually wooing her to give him a share In every thought, knowing himself the better ever for her unconscious teaching, while she fancied he was only pltful to the young governess whose home was so far away. And longer still was It before she understood why, in «pite of all the pleasure that he gave her, flooding her heart with kindly sunshine, she Bhivered timidly as she read in look and word the strong inherent pride—pride In his noble name and high and stainless anceBtry —which WRS part of his nature, or why. after the hours be had made so bright, it was n real relief to her to find herself alone in her own room, where she could cry In. her heart that it would have been better never to have known him—better to be at home, working harder even than she had ever worked before, because here it was so easy to be unirtttt, because here they thought her what she was not. Faith, using both hands to help little Etta to climb to ber knee, listened amused, while • a t o r Olendower recalled that evening a MMlh before when he met her first upon the beach, and had found such difficulty lo discovering her name. "You had tbe advantage of him, had you not, Miss Brandon}" said Mrs. Monmouth, '•for I was very sure the little ones would not be long .before thev shouted Victor's name?" "They did that most kindly," Victor said; "but I could not make them underqtand bow agreeable thev might have made themselves by addressing Miss Brandon so that I could undetstand." Mr. Monmouth, sitting half in and half out of the ot>en bay-wfndow, turned his head, laughing. ! 'Suppose you had heard them address her j as Miss Ap Jones, you know you would have I been disgusted, Olendower." "llalbvr. Moninuuth laughs at me because I tfctnftttttmuch rf a good uame Miss Bran- j 4 M ; tat let HV* assure you privately that he j liriftft Mtbe faUlog himself, and Mrs. Mon- ' / at any rate," I do not at all think that my month think* more of a good name even than I do." "Gently, gently." put In Mr. Monmouth, shaking his head gravely; " you affirm an Impossibility, Glendower." •'Quite as much, Victor, smiled Mrs. Monmouth, "and hesitate to own It; nor do I husband in reality thinks one whit less of a name than we do. Every one most feel the same about the advantages of birth and descent." ••Miss Brandon," asked Victor, leisurely, though to Faith the words bad a startling suddenness In them, "you told me that your home was in Westmoreland. I suppose Sir George Brandon, of Brandon, would be your father's brother?" "No," stammered Faith, as he waited for her answer. Never noticing tbe shrinking drooping of her eyes, he went on pleasantly, as he sat beside her. "Then, no doubt, your grandfathers were brothers. I suppose you do hot trouble yourself much about the ins and outs of your long pedigree; but Mrs. Monmouth says your address is Brandon, you are near enough to examine the family tree to your heart's content Yours is an unusually large family, is it not?" Etta, tired of climbing, knelt upon Faith's knee, put one small fat hand upon either of her cheeks, and looked laughingly straight into her eyes. But they gave no answering glance, for Faith was thinking of her mother and sister, who were all her "family," and of the only ancestor of whom she had ever heard —John Brandon, a quiet old wine merchant of Holloway, of whose very existence the Biandons of Brandon, were as Ignorant as they were indifferent,that the name of one of their most Insignificant Westmoreland tenants chanced to be the same as their own. So, In a false silence, she accepted his words. But still he sought todtaw her on to talk, and in doing so he drews her on to speak the falsehood which, in her double cowardice, she was trying to avoid. "The old Sir George, of George the Third's time—your great-grandfuther, 1 take it, Miss Brandon—was wild and reckless enough once, I suppose; but he quite redeemed his character, and you have no occasion to be ashamed even of him. Have you?" "No," Bald Faith, feeling her voice shake in the silence even, over that one word. "No; you have need to be proud of all belonging to you; so please to own that you are so, if ouly that Monmouth's raillery may extend to you as well as myself. Everyone knows that it has a justifiable pride to acknowledge. You are proud of belonging to the Brandons of Brandon, are you not?" "Yes," It seemed to Faith that the silence in the room was breathless until her steady answer fell upon it. Then sliu put Etta quietly down and left the room; and Mrs. Monmouth, whose grandfather was an earl, looked after the retreating figure, envying it its quiet grace; while Faith, restless and unhappy, crept out into the darkening night, wishing In her heart that everyone who looked at her could see that she was poor and lowly-born. II. The summer holidays were rapidly approach ing. Faith was sitting at the open window of the schoolroom, when upon her long and anxious thought the children's voices broke in merrily. "Here's Mr. Glendower, Miss Brandon, come to see your pictures! Let us show them. We know how to open the portfolio." .."I'm very anxious to see what you made of Plas Glendower in my absence, Miss Brandon," Victor said. "Harry sa>s the sketch was never finished because I enmc home. Could you not. guess who, in all Aderllyn, would most enjoy looking at Iti" "I put It fur away for that very reason," returned Faith, defying tue brilliant blush which rose as he looked curiously down upon her. "It was because I knew bo* proud and fond you are of l'las Glendower, that I could not let you see my weak representation of its beauty." "It is a beautiful place," he said, with genuine pleasure in his tone, "and I am really glad that your first sketch of it does not satisfy you. It shows me that you grow to like It more, nol less." "Here it is," cried the children; and Victor took the paintine: and examined it, not closely, as Faith saw with a little fresh throb of joy, but holding It just ns it looked best. Then he laid it aside with a lingering touch, and began to speak of the other sketches, which the children had spread upon the table in their search for this one. "Ab, there's Brandon!" he cried at last, taking up a small water-color drawing. "You certainly have chosen the most artistic view; but no one should pretend to sketch who cannot do that. It is a grand old place; and by the way, Miss Braudon, did you ever copy any of the pictures? Sir George has one of the finest collections In the kingdom as you know." "Yes," said Faith, quietly, in his long pause, recalling, as her fingers trembled among the paintings, the few visits she had paid to Brandon under the wing of the kind old housekeeper. "There is one picture there which I recollect very distinctly and pleasantly," Victor, went on. "The line upon the frame is from the introduction to'Evangeline,'I think— •This Is the forest primeval.' It is like a dream of marvelous lights and shadows, of cool, endless glades where the sun-rays hardly pierce. Will you notice this favorite of mine, when you aru next at Brandon?" he asked. "I remember it well," roturncd Faith, in a voice quick with pain. "Yes, Etta, yon may go, dear," she added. "Mrs. Brandon's place adjoins Crandon, does it not?" No answer. Could Victor ever guess what "Mrs. Brandon's place" was like. "I am sure that you, being an artist, find untold pleasure In that gallery," he went on, kindly. "Your cousin has no objection to have his pictures copied, has he?" "No," answered Faith, steadily; each falsehood was easier to her now. "I hope you will 1» iher^ a good deal during these summer holidays." "Whv," asked Faith, struggling to speak easily, while her heart gave a great leap of fear. "Because I hope to ace you, for I have accepted a long standing invitation of Sir George's; and I expect to enjoy this visit very much" Thongb she never glanced at him, she could not help reading in bis tone why be expected to enjoy this visit very much: and a strange, cold hopelessness filled her heart. If only they two were alone now, and if it could be dark, and the sun not shining so pitiless on her white face, she thought she could have told him and ended tbe strained deceit. As she thought this, Etta ran into the room, and stood with angry, tearful eyes before her. "Miss Brandon—oh, Miss Brandon, Harry hasn't told the truth 1 He's broken tbe glass of my picture! I beard him, and I saw him, while he was getting it down; and—and he said It was broken before; and ob, be knew it was a story 1" Then the little face full of real fear and horror was bidden In Faith's dress, and great sobs shook the tiny figure, "1 didn't do it," put in Harry moodily, but he shrank from meeting Faith's sad, questioning eyes. "Oh, Harry"—tbe little twitching face was raised again with a startled fear—"that's two stories 1 Ob, hush I I'm frightened." Faltb, watching the boy's sullen face, and hearing him repeat his falsehood, felt a great anger rise against him and burn In her eyes. Then suddenly a slow, shamed blush spread over her face, and very quietly she laid one band upon bis shoulder. "Go Into your own room, Harry, and I will come to you by-and-bye." "The breaking of the glass was a small fault, but the falsehood to his little sister was a mean and cowardly sin," said Victor, wrathfully, "and bis punishment ought to be severe." Then In the same breath, he bade Faith a gentle "good-bye," but his worda rang bitterly in her heart as she passed down the long passages and entered Harry's room. Holding the child upon her knee, her head bent over bis with a shame which awed bim, because it was for his sin, sue told blm that could not punish him, because the remembrance of his falsehood would be so sorrowful to him that it would bring punishment enough. And ber voice was so full of pain that he threw his arms around her, sobbing that if she wouldn't be so sorry about it, be wouldn't ever do it again—not ever. Kneeling on the low window-seat, she held her aching head in both hands and looked out yearningly. The tide was full iu; the faint flush of sunset brightened the wide, calm waters. Night after night had she watched the sun go down, glad that another day had passed and brought her nearer to the meeting with her mother and Esther. Now how she dreaded the holidays which she had so gladly anticipated! The low sun rays glanced in upon the BDX lous face and the open letter which its owner held. She could hardly read it thlo evening— Esther's letter, over which glad tears bad fallen. "Mother has looked ten years younger since we could count the hours and we are already preparlng, in intense happiness, for our darling's coming." Ah, Esther, if you could see the shaking little hands which cover your written words, and the dry, frightened eyes.whlch dare not look upon them any longer. III. "Going again, Faithle? Why, I believe you have spent every morning alone sketching since you came home, and yet you do very little, dear. A6k mother to go with you; I am busy, or I would come. I do not like your going alone day after day." • "No," said Faith, almost hastily; "It is too hot for mother to be out. 1 shall not be loug, Esther, and I Lope to—to finish my sketch to day." "What is this one painting, dear, which requires so much time and solitude?" "The—park gates at Brandon, with the— lodges," "Not very picturesque, are they, Falthie? But I suppose I may see when it ia finished, Won't you wait till tomorrow, that I mat come?" "No, thank you, Esther." And with a kiss, so tender that her sister marveled, Faith weni slowly down the cottage garden and out into the dusty road. It was uot' far to the park gates, and near them in the shadow of the firs, where she could see the avenue and lodges yet be herself hidden, she sat down and opened her paint box. FOBS few minutes she worked Industriously; then she paused, ber head raised, and her hands idle on her sketching board. Gaziug Searchingly, rest lessly, Bhe sat; now and then fitfully working a little; then again watching the avenue, un til the great turret clock at Brandon struck one, when she rose with a deep-drawn sigh of relief, gathered together her sketching materials and walked rapidly home. So day by day she went, always watching for his coming, always fearing it, and always feelingr-witli-theL same relief that, aa Abe morning had passed without her seeing him among the many guests who rode, or drove, or walked within her sight, he could not come to seek her on that day at least. So through the evening she was her own bright self again, and her mother's happiness and Esther's was complete. The last day of the vacation came, aud still she had uot seen him. The long goodbye* were said, and Faith set out once more on her solitary journey. ' Victor Glendower was at Llyn Aderllyn when she arrived; but, though he greeted her gladly, "he asked her no question of Brandon —nor did be mention his own visit, cither to say he bad paid it or postponed it—little guessing, perhaps, how anxiously she waited to hear, though she had not the courage to ask the question. • * * » * It was an October afternoon, and one of those storms which often come so unexpectedly and violently at tbe seaside bad overtaken Faith and the children as they returned from a stroll along the sand. Faith, in despair of j getting little Etta home before she was I soaked, had taken her up in her arm*, and! was hurrying on with difficulty against the I beating rain and wind, when Mr. Glendower overtook them and took the child from her— the burden which bad nearly overpowered her seeming slight indeed in his strong arms. Not nntll they entered tbe drawing-room did be put Etta down. Then Faith took ber to tbe nursery, hoping that while she was anay be would leave. l She lingered over changing ber wet dress, and lingered with tbe children; yet still, wbeu she returned to tbe drawing-room, be stood exactly where she bad left him, looking out tbrougb tbe wet panes at tbe gray troubled sea. . '•I did not know you were waiting, Mr. Olendower," she said, nervously, as she took ber work from tbe little table in the window close to where be stood. "Mr. and Mrs. Monmouth are In Carmarthen." '•I know," be answered, turning and looking down upon ber with grave, earnset eyes. "I waited to see vou, Faith to tell you something which for months I have been trying to make you understand. Have you understood it, Faith? Do you guess how deeply and devotedly Hove you?" As she did not answer nor look up, he laid his fingers gently on the hand that held ber work. "Faith, answer me, dear. Have you never guessed this?" "Lately I have guessed It," she answered, with quite truthfulness, "but I had hoped I had trusted that it was not true." "Why?' His voice was low and harsh with pain. "Because if you have learned to love me," she said, her face white and still in its agony, "It is from not knowing me. I have let you believe what fs not true. I have been speaking falsely and acting falsely ever since I saw you first. Over and over again I have uttered the untruth, for which I am suffering now such sharp, shamed pain." Then, in low, breathless words she told him what this untruth was, and very silently he stood beside her while she spoke. "When I came here strange and unknown," she ended, brokenly, "and heard you all speak of those who were low-born and poor, as if they were far away from you—quite different from you—and when I saw that you never guessed this was the truth of me, and I felt that you would all think differently of me if you did know—and when I thought how far away my home was, and that our paths had only crossed just for a little time, and tbat then again, we should be utter strangers to each other—it—was easier to be false then than you can lmmaglae. But the bitter pain which this falsehood has brought with it has been harder to bear a hundred fold than would have been any pain which your scornful or indifferent treatment would have caused me." '•Then Mrs. Monmouth does not know what you have just told me, Miss Brandon?" Faith looked up, startled, the tone was so new and contemptuous. "No," she faltered, and involuntarily her trembling fingers went up and hid her eyes. "Then you have a painful task before you to tell her. A little courage at tbe first would have saved us both much pain. All the pleasure you have ever given me seems crushed and dead to-day, but you have taught me a valuable lesson. I can never trust any one again as I have trusted you, so I can never again experience a disappointment so keen as this." Then he was gone, and Faith bumbled to the dust, sank on the floor and hid her face; her shame and penitence blotting out just then the other greater sorrow. Iv7 Faith was leaving Llyn Aderllyn. Her life —the very place—had grown unbearable to her. Never since that afternoon in the schoolroom had Victor Glendower Bpoken to her save in the presence of others; then, though he was always courteous as he had been, Faith felt the indiffernce in every act and word and glance. Mrs. Monmputh was different, too, though not unkind. Perhaps she never guessed that Faith felt the undcfinable change, but sorrowful hearts like Faith's feel even the shadow of such a change as that. Is was Faith's last day, and in the early morning 6he went out alone to look her last upon the familiar scenes. The sea in the. distance was heavy and gray as lead, near It was a great white sheet of foam, like snow. Could the the summer waveB which she had loved to watch have been part of this great gloomy sen, surging and moaning like a restless memory! As she stood upon the shore Victor Glendower passed along the beach within a hundred yards of her. He stopped a moment to look down upon the slight, dim figure, knowing it well iu the misty gray of the early November morning, as he felt he would have known anywhere at any time. As he did eo— his lips hard set, but his eyes intent and eager—Faith turned and walked slowly toward him, looking on the ground and never guessing of his presence uutil they met For the first time for many weeks he voluntarily addressed her, but never raised his right band to meet hers. "This is a chill and unpleasant morning to have tempted you out so early, Miss Brandon." "The weather did not tempt me," said Faith, sadly, but with the touch of a new pride which he had never read before on the young lips, " i n had not come so early t must have brought the children, and I wanted to come alone to-day for the last time, becouse I fancy—I think—I hope I shall never take this walk again " "Are you leaving Aderllvn to-day 1" His quiet, passionless manner was a straugj contrast to her tremulous emotion. '•I leave lo-day." "Why I" "I—I hate It." "Odd," he said, turning a race of cool surprise to her. "In the summer you told me that you did not know a more beautiful s p o t - most people think so. You are not leaving for that reason." ^/ "Do you think I never speak the truth?" cried Faith, her lips quivering and her eyes hot and angry. "I am going because I have made the place hateful to myself, and because I long to be away—to be—to be at home." "Even at home," said Victor, quietly, be fore they separated, "our own deeds—brave or false—will make or mar happiness." If he had said more, either in scorn or anger, Faith felt she could have borne it better; but those few quiet, disdainful words added the last drop to her brimming cup. She turned once and saw him far away, wrapped in the chill, gray fog, then she hurried Into the house, trying to escape observation. A tumult of children's voices met her. "No, Miss Brandon, you can't go to-day. Your letter wasn't posted, because you left it in the schoolroom, so nobody'U expect JQSV We're so glad 1" "It does not matter, dear/' Faith said to Etta, kiuing three pairs of waiting lips between ber words. "If they don't expect ma, they will be all tbe more surprised." What« "Good-by" it was in tbe bleak little station I Faith's eyes were the only dry ones tbere, and to ber it seemed as If the relief of tears could never visit them again. •Tbe help that I shall take home will be so little," Faith had said to herself tbe sight before, "and my journeys have already cost me so much, that I shall travel tblrd-elass, How thoroughly my one attempt at being use* ful and helpful has failed through my own fault!" So she went Into a third-class carriage; and tbe children, who alone bad ^gone to see bei off, knew no difference, looking lo enviously, because it contained the girl who bad been ac kind and loving a friend to them. At Adeillyn Junction, Faith Brandon bad to stop and wait for another train; and here she was puzzled and bewildered, for no anxious, attentive porters took her at once in charge as they bad been accustomed to do when she descended from a first-class carriage. While she stood beside her boxes, she saw Mr. Glendower enter the station from the booking office and walk leisurely down tbe platform, apparently waiting for the same train. Tbat he saw and recognized ber she felt quite sure, and that be was as indifferent to her presence as to that of any other passenger she felt quite sure, also. Up and down he passed close to her—his arms folded, his eyes on the ground or looking straight be fore them, his face cold and proud. When the train puffed in at last, it happened that be bad stopped In his idle saunter close be side her; and for a moment she hesitated to take ber seat In the uninviting carriage, with its fonr compartments open and nearly filled. But this hesitation lasted only a second or two. "What class, 'em?" inquired the porter, when he returned from taking her luggage tc the van. And Faith answered blm in a voice which unconsciously she made very dear and distinct then followed bim and took her seat, while Victor still stood near, still looking at anything rather than at her. "In his eyes now," said Faith to herself, s little bitterly, "I am where I should be." ••The end of the journey came In the fast gathering darkness of the November evening; and it seemed to Faith but a dreary h o m e - coming without the glad greeting which she had never missed before. "How do you do, Hearn?" she asked, ad dressing the porter, who seemed to know ber well, and had assisted ber as willingly as if she bad been a well-known, fee-distributing, first-class passenger. "Is there no one here to meet you, then, Miss Brandon?" asked a gentleman beside her, who had leisurely left the train just before it moved on. "I forgot to put ray letter in the post-bag," said Faith, lightly, but trembling very much as she stood in the dismal gloom of the station, and felt Victor so close beside her, "so no one expects me." "You wish for a cab, then?" "I do, Mr, Glendower," she laughed, with a nervous effort which he plainly read, "hut the wish cannot bring me one." •«*» "You will walk, then?" "Yes. Will you bring my luggage on to the cottage, Hearn when your work is over for to-day? Good night, Mr. Glendower." Again he kept his hand beside him when she offered hers, and blushing hotly, Faltb turned away. But, keeping measure with ber footsteps, he turned too, and together they walked slowh down the dusky road. Such a slow, silent walk it was in the deepening gloom and solitude, while Faith wondered and wondered—not what be would think of the little cottage they would reach by-andbye, nor why ne had chosen that day and time to come on his long-talked-of visit to Brandon, but whether, after they had parted now for the last time and she had left his life forever, he would come to forgive her in his heart. When the park gates of Brandon came within sight at last, Faith stopped as if It were an understood thing that they should separate there. '•Can you see that little cottage beyond tbe llrs?" she asked, simply. "I think you can just see its low, dim outline. That is where we live, Mr. Glendower; and this is Brandon." Something—more in the tone than the words—made the implied comparison plain to Victor Glendower. "I know," he answered quietly, showing that he understood her—"I have known it for a long time." "Good-bye, Mr. Glendower," she said. "You will not touch my hand, I know; but you will say good-bye for tbe last time." "Why for the last timer' "Because," Faith answered, a little tiredly, "It is not likely that our two paths will ever cross again." "Not at all likely, dear," he said, with a gentle touch upon her shoulder, "because, unless our two paths may be one, I must put half the world between them." Even in the imperfect darkness be could Bee a little of the great tremulous wonder in her face. And then, because it looked so small aud pale, and because it was so pure and true, despite the memory of that repeated falsehood, and because he had failed so> signally in his long eftort to believe It a face he did not gcare for; and because be found that, through that long effort, it had been crowing more and more dear to him; and because he had begun to understand, too, how his own pride had been to blame, and his own heart hard and unpardonmg; and because this strong first love of his rushed in a tide across his heart, now that he let it have its way—because of all these things, he took tbe patient, penitent face within bis hands and kissed it very tenderly. "No good-bye, ray love, good night In tbe morning you will sec how easily I can find my way to the cottage. Whisper one word of forgiveness to me before you go; for anything more I will wait until to-morrow. One word* my gentle, little love." But Faith's whispered words were for his ear alone. Actors should never jeer at the stage of a pioneer theater. There are no flies on it.— Ttxan Sifting*.

A few hours afterwards they called him aprain and he did not answer and they broke open the door and found bim unconscious and past the power of swallowing anything. He died at tour o'clock that afternoon. A coroer'sjury was summoned and after hearing all the evidence they returned a verdict that he came to his death hy an overdose of morphine, which the jury believed way taken to relieve pains in his heart and stomach. The remains were sent to Lansing lor interment. He was fifty years of age at the time of his death and was engaged in selling some kind of receipes, but formerly sold goods on the road for a drug firm.

A doctor was sent, tor ancf he examined the wound, and said that it was- nothing more than a flesh wound1. The child kept getting worse, and Wednesday it died. A post mortem was held and found that the knife had penetrated the abdomen cavity causing peritonites, which caused death.

November VJ, 1887, ts the date of the Tunes' Pekiu letter. The correspondent says: The Hoang Ho, or Yellow River, has j recently given fresh proof of its right to the title of "China's Sorrow." Year after year this great river is tho cause of unceasing anxiety both to tho public and to the Govern went. For several hundred miles from the sea its banks are marked out into short sections, eaoh with its allotted guard. Officers of the highest rank and greatest experience are appointed to s u p e r n t e n d the whole. During t h e winter and spring, when tho waters are low, necessary repairs are carried out assidonsly at the cost of vast sums. When the season of the summer aud autumn freshets comes around a numerous army ;s employed vigilantly watching the conduct of the stream, and. with materials stored at hand, is ready to strengthen at any point in the banks which may show signs of weakness. Still, year br year, almost Without exception, breaches occur at some unexpected spots and wide tracts are overrun by the waters, which c a n y away all hopes of the autumn harvest, and perhaps also the very homes of the peasant farmers. But the suffering caused by these common ami partial inundations, severe indeed though it be, is nothing cempared with what bns befallen tho land on a few terrible occasions, among which the present ono must bo numbered. Within the last few weeks the river has broken its batiks at a point about ,'100 miles from the coast.- It has entirely deserted its former bed, and its waters, swollen by Hood, have potirod down upon a thickly inhabited' plain, spreading death and desolation to an unparalleled extent, and forcing an entirily now road for themselves to the sea. .-> Doring the past 20()0 \ ears the Yellow R ver has changed its course some live or six times,discharging its waters by a new mouth, distant from tho old one as much, perhaps, as three or four degrees of longitude. For .500 years up to the middle of tiio past century, H entered the sea a little to the south of the Shantung province, whoso bold promontory catches one's eye instantly on tho map, projecting far into the ocean between the Yellow Sea and I ho lean congress recently author- «B of *:i0,500,000, to secure a oif a portion of th> goveni- UanaatBf floating debt.

Of the particulars of the calamity, arm of the vast amount of sufr'.tring and destruction that must have ensued, wo know little or nothing. During the last thirty vears the labor and treasure expended in dealing with the Yellow River have ie'en more than usually great. Though the stream traversed the same line of country ;is \ had done previously to /500 years' ago, still it nowhere occupied exactly the same bed. It poured itself into' the compar.it ivelv small water-course which flows beneath tho capital of Shantum.-; >^^\ its volume, espee ally in summer, being manv times too large' for the channel it had usurped, "it spread far and wide over the adjacent, plains. Tho task of the Government and people, therefore, was to create entirely new embankments, not merely, as in ordinar • time-*. To"sirengthen those already ex s t n g . Graduallv tho errant waters have been confined to a deiin to channel. There have been inundations constantly, but tho work has been continued pe!-severio</lv. The present governor, who has ruled Shantung during the last, two veais, has shown both honesty and determination, and the suiuinor just pas-od has linen unusually free from disasters. Last October those who p a d uiienlion to such matters knew that an iinjidaliou of some sort had recently occurred, and that the officers re.spon-i.hle for the section whero the banks had given way' were condemned to exposure jn ••''"the catigue, the Chinese equivalent of the p llory. Little was thoughl of this at first, but rumors of «li extraordinary calamity beeame.^lirront soon afterward. Tlien^ttio Gazette announced that the ivjrt'press had ordered a donation op-fin value of £'JoJ)0() to he given for.W.Tie relief of the. sufferers from tho ^ffrivatn funds of the Kmperor. The mairiiifudo of ilie ^:ft. as well as tlm tonus in which the decree accompanying it. was couched, showed that tiio mi-oh cf inns! bi! very serious. Since tlicn several reports have been published from high otlicials in Hie part of ihe country afl'ccled, and from theso it to possible in some degree to gather tho nature and the ex tout of the calami t y Inland from Shantung is the province of Honaii. with Kaifong. its capital, on the south bank of the Yellow River. AI>out forty m los west from Kaifong stands tiie second-class city of Ching or Cheusr Chou. The laltur half of September wus unusmdl. wet and stormy in Northwest China. The local stream* were filled to the brim or overflowing, and a heavy freshet was c o o i n g down the Yellow River, which in Honau is something oyer half a mile broad. A little below Cheng Chou there is a bend in tho river where the stream is borne agaiust the south shore. The embankments were sodden with ten days' continuous rain, and a strong wind blowmg down the reach added to the force of tho current. Tho waves dashing violently against tho embankment carried away tho protect ug fascines aud not long after the earthen wall behind them. The broach at first exteuded for only a hundred yards, and the ma n body of tho stream continued to follow its own channel. Frantic efforts were made to close the g a p ; but its sides rapidly crumbled away till it widened lo a breach of 1*J00 yards, through which issued the whole contents of the river. Parallel with tho Yellow River, between it and Cheng Chou, runs tho Lu-eina River, a water course of no size. The escaped torrent poured into tho valley of this stream, rushing down it toward the e a s t Twenty miles from Cheng Chou stood Chungmou, a walled city of the third rank. In the district of which it is the chief town 100 villages were swallowed up entirely, and the lands of 800 more were inundated. Tho oitv itself is reported officially to be still standing, cue rcled by the waters, but private accounts represent that both it and its population are buried beneath tho waves. Tho flood, still keeping the lino of tho Lu-chia. then turned, southward, a mass of water from 10 to 20 feet deep in the midst and stretching in vidth for thirty miles, without counting less important offshoots which invaded the valleys of adjacent streams. Chuhsein Chen, one of tiio principal trading centers of China lay in the direct course, but fjrtunxisly. being on higher grounds, escaped with the loss of a few suburbs. Seventy miles duo south of Kuifeugtho Lu-chia joins a larger river coming from tho west. Not far below the point of junction the Jlood, aggravated bv tho accession to its Volume," rose to height oven greater than before. The country there traversed by it is lowly u g and very fertile, aud the population correspondingly dense. In a tract which must be less than thirty miles square as many as 1,500 villages were submerged. Not farb*.yond this locality the inundation passed into tlu* neighboring province of Anhui, from the Government of which no reports have yet Ixeeu published....--"The people there must have received warning of the immpending ..danger, and it is bo- I cved that the flood, though spreading verv wiuVIv, has been lc>s deep aud violent. Tiie loss of life should, therefore, be much less, but the destruction of property must be immense all along the valley of the Huai l i v e r to the sea. Tho number of persons drowned in Honan can never be reckoned with any approach to accuracy, and can liardlv oven b '• guesse<'. Hazarding a conjecture, i wouldsav that it can not well be less than 1, - 000.000 :md probably is not. so high as '2 00-).00-). Still the jKiiropeaii in l*ekin. wiio by his relations with the Chinese Government is in a position to be belter informed than any one else, has put the. number at-7,000,OO.X-OtU+Tal-^'opwt-sstate I hat very fow (.'.scaped of those whose homes were in the ma hi, of the fl »od, though a small number were rescued in boats from the tree tops or high monrfds. There is no intent on on the part of the Government to allow the river to remain as it is. Orders have been , issued to eJo.se the breach and confine the water to its old channel with all possible speed. With this object the : imperial treasury has been directed to < forward £500,000 to the local authorities, and to lurnish further funds as they may be required. As the water diminishe-i wonderfully during the winter month*, there is reason to hope that the attempt may be successful. Should it fail, the inhabitants of a densely populated tract of country nearly 40') miles in length will be condemned to years of hopeless m sery, til] m o 4 of timm ha ve peris h(»d tiff' the earth; and the tn<k must lo begun af embanking tin; river on both sides for all tiiis distance. Meanwhile the Emper- ir is not forgetful of his duty toward his suffering people. Resides the private gift of the Empress mentioned above, a sum of £75.000 has been appropriated for the relief of distress. Also 32.000,000 pounds of rice, which should bo >e,af next spring to Pekin from Central Clima. are to" bo despatched as -oo'i as possible lo the flooded country instead. A number of soup kitchens have already been established, each of which is' Uwdged Inseveral thousand refugees, l\lm .sheds and warm clothing will be provided in the winter; and the Governor, mindful of the possibility of rebellion, proposes to keep as many thousand of able-bodied men as ho can out of -mischief b. enrolling them as laborers on the repairs to tiio embankments which a r c shortly to be urn crfaken. Lastly, should miv of Hie ( llieials engaged in distributing relef be found guilty of malvci'sat on, their superior officers are authorized to appl. lo I liem the short and sharp penalties of martial law.

WAaHiyo^osr, MATCH 14th, 1889. The most interesting event at the Clpitol during the past week was the advent of the long looked for tariff l ^ f formulated by the democratic majority of the Ways and ^Means Committee. It was in a secluded room of the Treasury Department that the bill look its shape. Much night work extending through mauy weeks has been expended upon it and a room in the Treasury was selected because of its accessibility to most of the members of the committee whose hotels are nearer to that building than to the Capitol, Comments upon the measure varied accordingly to their source. The republicans, for the most part, say "The Mill's tariff bill stands no more show of passing iu its present shape than did the Morrison bill in the Fortyninth Congress." The low tariff democrats say it will receive the support of their party. But they cannot speak positively as to this. There is sure to be friction in the democratic party over the proposition to put wool on the free list, and the sugar item is another element of discord. The wool men and the sugar men are greatly dissatisfied "With the condition in which they find these items in the bill, and party Hire to be broken on tbe.se tStiil it is by no means : .tij&t tfoee who are disaffected by the *ffipyrtnieiit of these industries would --i- ^ile against the bill when brought ta- final action because these items -fWlit still retained. It is said that the bill has the unqualified approval of the President and rhe Secretary of the Treasury, and the key to the situation lies in the jhands of a small minority of either ^arty. One criticism of the bill which came '^particularly from Senators and Kep- .•esentatives of tobacco-growing states^ was.ihat it omitted internal revenue IVtais the committee replied 4k*l tb*y now expect to jrr/to work M*JM| fa*»»e an internal revenue reduc- T>ill and report iyio the House very soon. They deem it prudent to keep the questions apart this time. And now that the light has fairly ;«expect a lively time on ill from this time on Tariff tariff speeches and tariff de- Jfl|llR$n follow each other unceasy, and tariff literature will deluge the country from now until the end of tjke#Preseudential campaign. £TtJa sensible thing has just been done the) House Committee on Invalid It has authorized a favcr- <Nt Sir. Matson's bill to pro the pension money of any who n ill the habit of gettad and wjao neglects to lawfully dependent on ba paid to the wile of .such 'iTjIfcShe be a proper person to Ifcor to a legally qualified There wai little opposition to the resolution passed by tbe Senate requesting the President to negotiate with tbe Emperor of Ohiua a treaty providing that" no China* laborers shall enter the United States, except to point out tbe ussiessness ot snch a treaty, unless treaties to the same effect were made with England, France and Mexico, Senator Call, of Florida, criticised the resolution as a declaration that tbe world was made, wrong, and that the 400 millions of Chinese ought not to be in it. Ai> regards the progress of the.proposed Washington Exposition in the Spring of 1889, commemorative of tbe centennial of the adoption of tbe Constitution ot the United States, I will just mention that the Senate selectcommittee have taken favorable actienupon the bill. Tbe Cram resolution also, proposing Constitutional ammendments changing the date for the annual meeting of Congress, has been favorably reported to the House. I must note a new departure. In the line of evangelizing the wtokpd city of Washington, some ol tbe uood women workers have seeured the use of the Police Court room for religious services on Sundav afternoons. ,-*4y§<* if the people of tbe Dis*-' fQelnmbia would be given/an ty to decide by theif own taw liquor question vyiTich petiri »ra all over the ptfuntrv have ttyjBtf to decide/fbr them, that they shaH have a prohibi- •j, a high' license kkw, or no the law at all.

The occupation of farming la praleed by many because it enables those engaged in It to be to a great extent Inde* pendent The farmer certainly oaa direct his own affairs, as there is no association or anion to tell him when he shall work or when he shall remain idle. He is free to exercise his own judgment in relation to how he ^ a n * ages his place, what he shall raise, and how he shall dispose of i t He is at liberty to work eight or eighteen hourt each day. H is not liable to be assess ed for the support of persons engaged In strikes for shorter hours or highel wages. He is never called upon to engage in parades or to assist in making demonstrations. He can buy labor fn the cheapest market, and is not obliged to confer with any person except those he employs about the time or method of payment He can have his work performed by hand or by the use of ma* chines. He is lord of his own acres* be they few or many. He is not likery to be injured by strikes of the class of men whom he employs in doing work. In this respect he is in a more independent position than manufacturer*, contractors, and railway managers. A farmer may be measurably independent in the matter of obtaining supplies. He may, if he has the means and is given sufficient time, raise nearly everything he requires for supplying his table. He can arrange for having beet pork, mutton and a variety ot fowls, all of his own raising. Ha should never go away from his farm to obtaip eg<rat milk, butter, and cheese* He should have an abundance and a great variety of vegetables and small fruits in their season. Ho should have a pond where he can raise carp and other fish for his table. With a good cellar he will find no difficulty in keeping large fruits, potatoes, garden vegetables, and many other articles of food over the winter. If he has an icehouse, he cari keep fresh meat, fowls, fish, perishable fruits and cooked food in it for several days. 'By keeping bees a substitute for sirup can be obtained without cost. With a few acres in forest trees a supply of fuel will be provided. But little skill is required to-dry, cam, and preserve fruits, so that the table may be supplied with them from the close of one bearing season to the commencement of another. A farmer who has arranged for producing nearly everything for supplying his table, who has on his place wood for fuel and timber for fence-posts, comes about as near being independent as a man ean he. He has tittle to pay and as a consequence does not need have very much to sell. A horse that oan.be raised on the place will sell for enough to buy a good carriage and harness. The few grocery bills can be pajd with eggs and butter. The in* crease of slock beyond the number of animals that can he kept on the place will sell for enough to -pav taxes and for clothing, furniture, and tools. A farmer who is in condition to do all these things may not he very wealthy, but he will be provided with ail the necessities for comfort, He will also have muny of the things that are gen^" erally classed among the luxuries. He ean have leisure and tiie means for enjoying it. He will have no anxiety about keeping his house warm if there is a scarcity of coal and the roads are drifted high with snow, with no way of gettirfg to town to obtain groceries "and provisions, he will find that his "table is spread," not only with nourishing food, but with that which tempts and delights the appetite. Although it appears to be easy to become an independent farmer, comparatively few Mho own and occupy farms can be regarded as such. The farmer who has a mortgage ou his place is far from being independent. His earnings are pledged till such time as his secured debt is paid in full. There is a cloud on his title, and another one on his hopes. He is constantly anxious.in, XeMiuJUQ-l1 0 ^-1 1 ^^^-4 0 ^"'^' money-to-f u , T ^ pane lain PUHirC meet his indebtedness.

They will expect him to sell meat that he raises as soon as it is in a condition to send to market, whether prices are high or low. The farmer who is obliged to sell nearly all the products of his place in order to furnish fuel and provisions is almost as far from a state of independence as the dav laborer in a large oity who is obliged to buy everything he eats and burns.

W h e n t i s older brother Frederick William J V, aacemied the throue in 1^4» Wilhelm became governor of Fomerania, and later sat in the I rus inn diet, where lit vigorous support of the absolutist party rendered him unpopular with the people a n d upon the breaking out of th© revolution of i -58 he was obliged to l'.e* to Kn : it d where he lemained for everal moutlis. , j)on his r e t u r n Wilhelm ^ a . elected to tho national assembly, a n d KMPKKOH WILLIAM. in 1S57 he was commissioned king regent, owing to the incapacity of the actual king. In l-ol he ascended the throne, aud in 18.57 b« became the head of the North Cerm a n confederation. In July, 1*70. Wilhelm held the memorable interview with the French ambassador, Benedetti, which resulted in the w a r of 1.S70. The king accompanied the armv and commanded in person ut (Travelotto and sedan. In 1*71, in the palace of the French kings ut Versailles, wiihehn was formally proclaimed emperor of Cermany. During tho l a t t e r y e a r s of his reign t h e emperor has won the regard of bis people who have indulge i in frequent d e m o n s t r a t i o n s to indicate their loyaltv. Wilhelm married Maria-1 ouisa of Suxe W eimar in IJ2'.', and had t w o children. Frederick Wilhelm, t h e r o w n prince, who married1 Victoria, the ^rincess royal of 1 ngland, and Louisa, the g r a n d duchessiof 1'aden. Ttie e m p e r o r ' s life work has been to r e - organize and perfect the Cerm'an a r m y . He began this as regent, in the face of great opposition, nnd continued it as a king. To aid him in the scheme he summoned Bi8marckto the head of affair?. To gether the era wasaccomplishedNand without a revolution. Bismarck owes much to Wilhelm, but it will alwuys be a mooted question whether Wilhelm did not owe more to the Iron I'rince. The heir a p p a r e n t to the (ierman t h r o n e is the c o w dyin.' crown prince. Frederick William, lie is 57 venrs old, and some of the events of his life have more than ord i n a r y interest. In lv-8 he was married to the Princess Victoria, d a u g h t e r of the queen of Lnglan 1. Mie e-ade him a model husLand and father, w h i c i is not always the case with his :amily. In 1V-H they celebrated their silver wedding. Ho has taken p a r t in the Danish, Austrian nnd French wars, and in the last one he showed g r e a t b r a v e r y and military skill.

Opinions i n th • poss ble e : o : t of tho emperor's death upon the peace of Europe nre as varied as opinions upon one subject enn well be. The opinion mo-t Renoraily entertained, howpver. is that tho demiso of the kaiser will hiv e less influence .u-ross tiie (ierman frontier in anydirei-tii n than it will h a v e in tho empire itseif. Already I'rince >\ idiam is empowered to t r a n s a c t certain s t a t e business and the hour c a n n o t be far d i s t a n t when his right to t r a n s a c t all business of t h a t character will be unquestioned. Fears have been expressed that the succession of Prince William to the throne, either us regent or emperor, would be the signal for a Kuro- 1 enn war, l ut there is much greater reason to fear t h a t a not insignificant portion of the people of G e r m a n y will resent in a tnnnner not to be mistaken the suhservianee of tho young ruler to tho m a n of iron, whoso conviction t h a t Cermany should dominate Europe is a consuming passion. It has often been predicted that the d e a t h of Kaiser William would mark the beginning of the disintegration of the G e r m a n empire through the overweening a m b i t i o n oi the man who was the master spirit of its erection: and. if the-e predictions are ever roalized, their fulfillment will more likely be b r o u g h t about by a civil revolt against the unrestrained policy of Prince bismarck t h a n by thu defeat of G c i m n n y in a foreign war.

Coming so soon after the death of her father the sudden death of Miss Alcott brings a double sorrow to the many friends of the family, while the loss of this talented writer will be felt far and wide among the many readers of her books. Louisa May Alcott was horn in Germantown, now a part of Philadelphia, Nov. -i9, ls8'2. In I S I O her father, Amos Bronson Alcott, removed to Concord, Mass., where she was brought under the influence of the community that endeavored to establish itself near Harvard. Thoreau was for a time her teacher, hut she was instructed mainly by her father. She began to write for pu' lication at the age of 10, but with no marked success for fifteen years. l>urlng that time she devoted ten years to teaching, in 18ti2 she went to Washington as a volunteer nurse, and (or many months labored in the military hospitals. The letters she wrote* homo at this time containing sketches of hospital life and experiei ce were revised and published in book form in 1M>:{ and attracted much a tention. In 18(10 she went to Euro) e In search o health, which had been very much sjiattere I by hospital work, and on her return in 1SH7 wrote "Little Women.''

In a little' time a smail crowd was gathered and* he began giving a lecture on some, kind of medicine, and trying to sell it. We are very sorry to say that the "suckers" are not all dead in this plate/ and therefore he made sales qnito rapidly. After he had sold about $25 or $30 worth of his stuff, he wanted all, of his class (suckers) to form in a line, and he would show the people ot Pinckney "something they never saw before," the driver then started and drove up and down the street once or twice, and then away they went lor parts unknown, leaving tbe class standing in a line so that the people could" see "something theynever saw before.1'. The amount he carried away w*a about $25'. 'I his town is not left alone in its suffering, for about six o'clock a teleh phone message was received from Dex* ter stating that, they; had duped that place out of about $30.

Swineford has reached the conclusion that it's about time to hit back, and he says: "If some of the newspapers that are wasting valuable space by roasting me for spending some time in Washington, will bend their energies to helping pass the bill giving Alaska a representative in congress and a territorial form of government, 1 will go home soon enough to suit them. I am as anxious to get back to Sitka, as they seem to be to have me go. But I am the only man who can represent those people here without bearing all the expense of the trip. As it is, it costs me S500 every time I come here, while i could stay in Sitka and never spend a cent. If they want me back in Alaska they can get me there as quick as they like- if they will pass the Alaska bill through congress for nieV^ \ The Teaders of the fainrin Baffle CreeTT are agitating a new religious movement by the Seventh-day Adventists for the establishment of denominational schools among their people, the object being to take advantage of early impressions and hold children true to the teachings of their church. In a sermon in the tabernacle on a recent Sabbath by Professor Prescott, president of Battle Creek college, this mode of educating children from early school age to the time of entering college was advocated. While he paid a well-deserved tribute to the general system of the public schools, he argued that they could not conscientiously impart religious instruction. Death of One of the P r o m i n e n t Noblemen In Japan—Hla S t i r r i n g Career. TJie mail from Japan brings news of ithe death, on the 6th u l t . at Kagoshma, the capital of his former principal* :y. of Shimadzu Hisaniitzu, ex-prince or regent of Salsnma, and one of the most itnking of the many striking figures of Japanese history of the past thirty rears. The Times gives a sketeh of his mreor. To foreigners, to whom for his name was one of hatred and , he was better known as Shiruadbuio. The house of Shimadzu has oyer the great province of Satin the extreme south of the e m island of Japan for several ries, The clan was the most rful and warlike of all Japanese It could place fifty thousand of ravest warriors of the country iu eld and the administration of the nee by the Shimadzu family was s characterized by extreme indence of the government of Ye- 1858 the prince who has just died iu to power on the death of his er. He had previously passed a scholarly seclusion in his native hce; but lie plunged into the troulolitics of his countrv, and took a g part in public affairs for about of the most important years in tig history of Japan, Urged by dzu, tho mikado, then living in acred seclusion in Kito, dispatchenvoy to Yedo to require the m to go down to the former capdiscuss political'situation, and to concert with court nobles measures for the expulsion of foreigners. Shimadzu himself and six hundred of his clansmen undertook the task of escorting the imperial envoy to and from Yedo. He was treated in Yedo with coldness and hauteur, and on the 1-ith of September 1862, he left Yedo with his followers, and bogau his long journev down tho Tokaido or great road which Donnects the two capitals, and passes within two miles of the foreign settlement of Yokohama. It happened that snrly the same afternoon :t party of English residents and visitors in ^Yokohama started for a ride along this road within treaty limits. It was composed of three gentlemen merchants in China iud Japan (Messrs. Marshall. Clark. Mid Richardson) and one lady, a v.sitor (Mrs. Borrodaile). As they went on they came to the vanguard of Shimadzu's escort Suddenly as 'they passed the noble's palanquin, Mr, Rchardsou was cut down by the sword of a Japauage. and was hacked to pieces. The other English were attacked, but made their oscape. Col. Neale, British charge d'affaires, in tho absenco of Sir Rutherford Alcock called on the shogun's government for the punishment of the murderers and compensation for tho victims. The Japanese alleged that they were powerless to coerce the prince of Satiuma in his distant dominions; so Admiral Kuper and British fleet took the matter inhand, and in August, 1863, a consider:!hie squadron anchored in tho harbor of Kogoshima, the capital of the Satsuma territory. An ultimatum was sent on shore requiring tho execution of tho murderors of Mr. Richardson in the presence of British officers, and the payment of £25,000 compensation to tho relatives of the murdered man and to those who were wounded. This was refused, and Admiral Kuper atonce seized and destroyed three steamers belonging to tho prince, aud-l)ombar-deiI-Mio town—tiui-JjqmrxesiLhaving opened fire. A lire broke out in Hot Bread. Physicians often recommend for sick people oatmeal or graham pudding, made by stirring the meal into water and boiling a few minutes, as one of the first things to. be eaten when the stomach will not stand hearty food. Why is the meal thus prepared any more easily digested than new bread or hot inuffias, which are considered unhealthy? Is not the same chemical change necessary in the one as the other, which can only take the place by standing for several hours after cooking. The two cases are by no means similar. The oatmeal or graham Hour is £ RANDALL'S TAKIFF BILL. Estimated Reduction Amounting to $95,000,000. General Washington Newt, The Laudall tariff bill which has been reported to the house, repeals the entire internal tax on lobabeco after July 1, and on fruit brandies.

During the next six years Shimazu played a very important part in Japanase affair?. Although he and the leading membefs of the clan were rewarded with high oflice and dignities ho was perpetually quarreling with the govarnmont. in which lie was vice prime minister. His power and influence was so great that the mikado himself once condescended to go all thfe way to Kagoshirua to visit and mollify him. But in vam.

It was issued March, 1876; in April he left Yedo forever, and retired, accompanied by a few followers ostontatiously carrying their swords in cotton wrappers, to Kagoshima, where he lived until his death.--Cfticapo Tivies. granules being ruptured so that their contents are more easily acted upon by the digestive fluids, In the making and baking of bread the same change is accomplished. The difference between hot new broad aud thai which is older is essentially the same as between "heavy" and "light" bread. It is its "lightness" or porosity which gives to bread its ready digestibility. When new, it is softer, for the steam of the water it contains; and this makes it difficult of mastication and liable to form a olose and cloggy mass, which, on passing into the stomach, is loss easily penetrated and acted upon by the gastric juice. By cooling and drying it becomes firmer and more friable, so that it is more thoroughly mixed with the saliva in the mouth, and goes into the stomach in bettor condition for the process to which it is subjected there. If tho bread is hard enough to melt the butter eaten with it this makes the matter worse. Tho melted grease fills up the pores in the bread, and interferes with the action of the sal.va and the gastric juiced Tho fatty matters in pastry are objectionable for the same reason, and l also on account of the chemical changes they undergo in the oven. Bread becomes more digestible by toasting, chiefly because it is .made dryer and firmer—that is if toasting is properly done. The slico should bo rendered crisp throughout its entire thickness. If it bo merely scorched on the surface, as often happens, the interior is merely softenod and made like new bread, and consequently less digestible. While on this subject, wo may remark that oatmeal, cracked wheat and similar boiled breakfast dishes often become more or loss indigestible from being "bolted" in tho usual Yankee St vie. They are soft and go down easily, and are shoveled or spooned into the 3tomach, with no delay in the mouth en route. They need mastication as really as-beef-steak does, not tc save one from choking (which many people seem to suppose is the solo reason for chewing) but to mix them thoroughly with saliva, which is a digestive agent and not a mere lubricant to expedito tho passage of dry food down the jesophagus. A friend of ours was lately complaining that oatmeal did not agree with IPIU, and wo found on inquiry that ho was in the habit of eati n g it in JLh is hurried way, without insalivation. Ho was much surprised when told that he ought to chow it, or at least to detain it'in his mouth, before swallowing it; but after a brief trial he admitted ho had no more trouble in digesting it. If the oatmeal or wheat is not thoroughly cooked, it is all the more important that it should be masticated, as the half-softened grains offer considerable resistance to the digestive fluids. —Journal of Chemistry.

The secretary of the interior, in the matter of the claim of the Jackson iV Lansing railroad company to certain lands in Michigan, (about 1,200 acres in tho aggregate , has denied the motion hied by the company for a review of tho decision of the department rendered February -26, 1887, adverse to the company. The sec;etary in denying the motion decides that the act of March tf. 1871, authorizing a partial change of location of the line of road, did not in any maimer alter or enlarge the quantity or terms of tho grant previously made. He als > holds that the reservation made by the presided in 1S53 for Indian purposes, operated to e act the lands in-question, from the railroad grant and they are now subject to entry under the settlementlaws. The house has passed a bill to give .John Bisby of White i'igenn a pension of .*:*; a mouth.

Hence the bill for his relief.

Americans don't like the constant twitting they get about this n a t a l twang, and yet It is a fact caused by o u r dry stimulating atmosphere, and t h e universal presence of catarrhal difficulties. lint why shnuld so many of our women have false teeth'.' T h a t is more of a poser to the English. It is i.uite Impossible to account for It except on the theory of deranged stomach a< tion caused by imprudence in eating and by want of regular exercise. Both conditions are u n n a t u r a l . Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail and end in cough and consumption, which are promoti d by mal-nutritiou induced by deranged stomach action. T h e condition is a modern one, one u n k n o w n to our ancestors who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and consumption by a b u n d a n t and regular use of what is now known as W a r n e r ' s Log Cabin Cough a n d Consumption liemedy and Los? Cabin Sarsaparllla, two old fashioned standard remedies handed down from our ancestors, and now exclusively put forth under the strongest guarantees of purity aud eiheacy by the world-famed makers of W a r n e r ' s safe cure. These two remedies plentifully used as the spring and summer seasons advance give a positive assurance ol freedom, both from catarrah and those dreadlul and if neglected, inevitable consequences, pneumonia, lung troubles and consumption, which so generally and fatally prevail among our people. Comrade Kli Fisher, of i-alem, Henry Co., Iowa, served four years in the late war and contracted a disease called consumption by the doctors. H e had frequent hemorrhages. After using W a r n e r ' s Log Cabin Cough and Consumption remedy, he says, under dute of .January 19th, 188S: " I do nnt bleed at the lungs any more, ray cough does nut bother me, and 1 do not have any more smothering spells.

Washington is uavitg a light Lent, a&d society wears its weeds more light- Jy as the season progresses. The gay | anything but penitently. It is understood that very few of the republican Senators approved of the Kansas Senator's speech, and it was reported daily last week that Mr. Ingalls conterrtplated a partial retraction or some explanation-of some of his remarks, though as yet he has taken no step in this direction. When asked by a newspaper reporter if he did not repent him of his speecn, he replied, locking non-chalantly. and indeed, AT THE NEW ft FURNITURE STORE ** world eats gives entertainments and eren dances a little for charity, but "The world will not believe a man repents, and this wise world of ours is flinners and lnncheons are the princi- mainly right." Senator Biackwellhas prepared himself for any re«opemng ot the matter that Mr. Iogalls may see tit to make. The Woman's International Council will assemble in this city on the 25tb inst., and will hold an eight days conference, it is not a woman suffrage convention, although called by that organisation to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the first woman's rights convention. Its purpose is to discuss all the yar.ious movements ot reform. in which women are interested. Delegates from a number of foreign countries will be here. Buvklen's Arnica Salve.

Every night fais wfcek and last week has witnessed many elegant dinner parties, and the afternoon lnncheons have been as numerous. Congress has done nothing startling during the tfeek unless the political and oratorical battle between Senators Ingalls and Blackburn could be so called. There were some interesting debates however on the Dependent Pension bill before it passed the Senate by a vote of 44 against 1G. The debate showed that a Presidential vote is greatly feared. The bill now goes to the Mouse. As passed by the Senate it provides that in considering the claims of dependent parents the fact and cause of death and the fact that the soldier left no widow dr children haying been shown as required by law, it shall be necessary only to show by sufficient evidence thatsuch parents are without other means support than their own manuel labor or the contributions of others not legally bound for their supoort. The pensions allowed commence from the date of the passage ot this aot and continue only during the existance ot such dependence. Then it provides that all persons who served as much as three months in the military or naval service of the United States during the late war. and who have been honorably .discharged, and who are suffering from mental or physical disability, not the result of vicious habits, which incapacitates them for supporting themselves, and WnVare without other adequate means of* Support, shalf, upon making such proofs'of these facts as the Secretary Of the Interior may provide, be placed on the list of United States invalid pensioners, and be entitled to receive $12 per month. It looks very much as it we mi^ht have•& complete system of postal telegraphy i n't lie near future. The House Committee on Commerce has favorably reoprted a bill which appropriates' $S,- 000,(X)0 tor the establishment of a, postal telegraph. The report claims that the Government can place in service a system answering all the needs | ot the public for a sum vastly below j that which is represented by the Western Union Telegraph Company. In' briet its conclusions aio these: First,1 "That the time has arrived when the Government snould construct and, operate a postal telegraph sv«tem as a branch of its postal service." Second, "That the service will undoubtedly be self-supporting.'1 , Third, "That the Government has the right to build and operate telegraph lines under the jurisdiction of its Post office Depart uie'nt." Fourth, "Thafc public opinion Wifr not permit, and grwd -faith ami justice do not require, the purchase by the Government it the property and franchises of the Western Cnion Telegrapn Company. The'bill places the general supervision, of the system under a Fourth Assistant Postmaster-Oeneral. The work of establishing the lines, etc., is to be lone under the direction of the Secretary of war, with the approval o f H f 6 President. i The bill provides for telegraphic I tolls. The rates fixed are on a basts of j 1(5 cents for twenty words 500 miles or j lefcs and one third of a cend a word for j pf'ess dis patches, diw thousand words j less. To-day,''on Senator TiUckhnrn'sdesk! in the Senate chamber, there is a very ' handsome floral tribute accompanied ; with a resolution of thanks.

Fdr this report returns ha^e been received from 1,053 correspondents representing 750 townships, Six hundred and ninty-mne ot these returiiS are from 442 townships in the southern four tiers of counties'; and 190 reports are from 158 townships m the central Bounties. In answer to the question, "Had the ground been well covered with snow during February?" 178 correspondents id the Southern four tiers ot counties answer "Yes," and 508 "No;" 105 correspondents in the central counties answer "Yes," and 80 "No;M and 165 correspondents in the northern counties answer "Yes" and none "No." In tnte bouthern counties 342 correspondents report the crop injured during February, and 300 report it not injured; in the central counties 36 report it injured, and 138 not injured; and in the northern counties 2 report it injured and 140 not injured. The tenlpature and rainfall during February Were both below the normal. In the southern tour tiers of counties the tffudnd has been practically bare of snow since about the middle of February, and a succession of treeses and thaws is undoubtedly damaging wheat; In the Central counties the average depth ot snow on March 1 was 6 inches, and in the northern counties 2¾ inches. Reports have been received ot the quantity of wheat marketed by tanners during the month ot February at 396 elevators and mills. Of these 418 are in the southern four tiers of counties, Which is 66 per cent, and 35 are in the fifth and sixth tiers of counties, which ihb^ per cent ot the whole number in these sections respectively. The total number of bushels reported marketed during the month is 507,329, of Which 13b\275 bushels were marketed in the first or southern tier ot counties; 130,408 bushels in the second tier; 90,587 bushels in the third tier; 94,043 bushels in the fourth tier; 41,783 bushels in the fifth and sixth tiers: and 5,- 233 bushels in the northern counties. At 59 elevators and mills, or 15 petcent of the whole number from which reports have been received, there was no wheat marketed during the month.

The Michigan crop report for March embodies returns from 1,053 correspondents, representing 750 townships; 61)0 are from 442 townships in the southern lour tiers of counties, and 1U0 from 158 townships in the central counties. In answer to the question, 'Has the ground been well covered with snow during February." 178 correspondents in the southern four tiers of counties answer 'yes,' and 508 'no'; 105 correspondents in the central counties answer 'yes,' and 80 'no'; and 105 correspondents in the northern counties answer 'yes' and none *no.' In the southern comities 842 correspondents report wheat injured during February, and «00 report it not injured; in the central counties 36 report it injured and i:-J8 not injured, and in the northern counties •I report it injured and HO not injured. The temperature and rainfall during 1 ebruary were both below normal. In the southern four tiers the ground has been practically bare of snow since about the middle of February, and a succession of tree es and thaws is undoubtedly damaging w h e a t r e p o r t s have been received of the quantity of wheat marketed by fanners d u r i n g the month of February at S9 6 elevators anil mills. Of these, :)18 are in the southern four tiers, which is (56 per cent., and r>5 are in t h e fifth and sixth tiers of counties, which is t'4 per cent of the whole number in these sections, respectively. The d e l i c t i n is that somewhere near 1,51)0,000 bushels, besides what is necessary for their own needs, remain in the hands of the farmers of Michigan, to be placed upon the market later. V a l u e o f F a r m A n i m a l s . At the present time the world is working 58,5 rt /22:5 horses, according to a report just issued by the agricultural department. This shows that the United States has 13,000,000 hor-es in service, Europe has 3:2/00,()00. South America, :).000,000, Asia, 5,000,000, Canada, 2.000,- 000, Australasia 1,000,000. and Africa 703,000. For every horse a Michigan man sees a Spaniard sees eight goats. ' in the matter of live stock Michigan is well u;> to the fr >n^. s h e has 45V.H3 horses, worth an average price of Sill v'0, or a total value of $i~, 1 -J0,410. The number and values of her other classes of stock are: Milch cows -3:,30 . worth .S12.(>Sl,7N", or an average of 83 » each; oxen and other cattle, 511.4 00, worth > each: sheep 2,113,- 0, or $-i 73 each; N\ 780,700, or S » 3:* SI:2,-0 ,-1.,^, o r §05 l t 00!, worth S5,743,0 hogs, '. 0-,255, worth eacii. The value of live stock seems to be much more in Michigan than in states a d o i n i n g it. For instance, the average value of horses in Michigan is 8 11 so, in Indiana, S-i 0.', in Illinois §77 25. The average of sheep in Michigan is 82 72, in Indiana, 82 "5. in Illinois 82 4 ' , In Ohio 82 til. The same excess in favor of Michigan is noticeable in all other classes of stock. i-'ernow, the of Forestry, H i n t s o n F o r e s t r y .

T h e funeral of Emperor William took place on the 16th i n s t , in Berlin. T h e troops, who were ranged four deep along the route taken by the funeral cortegd, wore heavy cli aks. The low temperature had no apparent effect ui on the people, and hundreds of thousands of spectators occupied the space behind the sol- 1 dleru, while every window along Unter ! den Linden was crowded. All the houae-t on the thoroughfare were covered with mourning and exhUlted 1 ags with black drapery. At the street crossings massive pillars drai ed with black and surmounted by Prussian eagles had been erected. The lamp-posts were covered with crape, and at every 50 paces there were large condelbras bearing flaming cressets. The route of tin* funeral presented a most imposing aspect, entirely in keeping with the deep sorrow and reverence of the people. The center of the road was strewn w i t h g i a v e l and fir branches, i n Pariser plat/, large crape festoons t ntwlfaed with laurel were hung. The Uradoub^rg gate was draped, and there was a large arch in front of It upon which were the words "God Mless Y o u . " The funeral service took place in the cathedral in accordance with the program, hmperor Frederick was not present, t h e weather being too severe to permit ot" his exposing himself. The service began with a soft prelude on the orgftn, during which the mourners began to assemble. Dr. Koe^el, the court chaplain, read passages from the Ninetieth Psalm, and verses 25 and :0 of the eleventh chapter of John. The choir sang "1 Know T h a t My Redeemer L i v e t h . " Passages were then re.ul from Psalm 01, and Timothy, fourth chapter, 7th and Stu verses, the chaplain concluding with the words. '•Blessed are they who die in the Lord, now and e v e r m o r e . " The choir responded with the words. "Yen, the spirit sayeth they shall rest from their labors; their works shall live alter t h e m . ' ' The prayer was then intone I, " W h a t God doth, is well done.' Dr. Koegel delivered the sermon, standing beside the coil.11. His text was: "Lord, now lettest Thou T h y servant depart in peace, according to T h y word, for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation." He concluded his sermon with the Lortl s prayer, .and the congregation then sang the hymn "YYenn Ich Kinmal Soil S c h e i d e n . " A motet fr.-m C r a u n s ' "Toil .Je-ui" was then sung by the choir, after which the members of the vSieg Akadamie rendered " W L Herri ch ist die N«,;e W e l t . " At 12:45 o'clock |>r. Koegel pronounced the 1 enediction, while at the same time volleys were tired by the i n a n t r y on the outside. The cathedral ceremony closed with the singing of "Holy, Holy is the L o r d . " The remains of the royal dead were escorted to the mausoleum, where they were received by ttie pastor or Chariot tenburg and Cl.ap ain Koegel then read the p r a t e r , "Mlessed is the Man Who Lesisteth T e m p t a t i o n , " and the Lord's 5 rayer. The chaplain then closi d the solemn service with the I enediction. Members of the im erial fa 1 ily and the other mourners then withdrew, the generals taking farewell ot their dead master by placing their hands as if in salute upon his coilin. A salvo of artillery announced that the ceremony was over. The services were in every way worthy ot the occasion. The military display was magnificent, though somber. The entire escort, com 1 rising the elite of the1 anux, wore dark ovoi coats and mantles, owing to the extreme cold.

THE GOVERNESS. BY J . E . CHAPTER. I. Margaret Crewe sat on a stile, in the home meadow, staring dreamily, almost moodily, at Oak Hurst, whose red rook and queer twisted chimney-stacks were wreathed in ivy, while the sunlight fell in bars of burnished gold on the windows, making them Hash like polished copper, and streamed between the trunks of the giant oaks* that gave the •place its name, and glanced on the silver- birches and budding beeches, and other monarchs that studded tho laud around the forest house. * It was a pretty place always, and looked its best illuminated by the cherry spring sunshine, that woke .into life the modest violet and pure snowdrop; and the girl sitting on the stile felt a sob rise in her throat at tho thought of leaving it—her home of tlyee years. They had been happy years-— mfcdefately, temperately happy only; after the brilliant and stormy ones that had gone before, they seemed full of peace and quiet to the storm-tossed girl. However, there was no help for it — she must go. Henry Eocksley's new wifo hated Margaret Crewe, the governess, because she was beautiful, and she. Mrs. Locksley, was plain; and she was jealous of the good honest fellow whoso aOections she^uad won. Why she need have pitched on Margaret as the object of her jealousy was a mystery,for if tho master of Oak Hurst meant making love to ••- her,- surely he woul> h ave done so when she iirst came to his house three years before to teach his little motherless boy, and not alter he had taken to himself of his own free will another wife. ; >nly the green-eyed monster took tirm possession of Gertrude l.ockslcy's heart, and nothing would exorcise this demon save the departure of the governess. Harriet Loeksley, Henry's sister, flatly declined to see any fault in the girl, who had so honestly discharged herduty towards little Jim. and as it was -•"'hardly a subject on which tho new made wife could consult her bridegroom, she set herself silently and steadily to work to make Miss Crewe feel herself Uc trop at Oak Hurst, and miserable and unwelcome, as one woman so well can make another, if she is spiteful and choses to do so. Margaret struggled on bravely for the sake of tho child for a while, ana also because the Lockslcys, brother and sister, were unfailingly kind to her; and being friendless and poor, she dreaded just Na little facing the world again. £*ch day Mrs. Loeksley became more Wide and insulting in her ;:i.inner, found fault with everything she aid—her mode of teaching the chud her dress, her manners, etc. and lost no opportunity of lowering and humiliating in t b a e y e s of the servants, who readily triple weir cue from their new mistress, ••id Were insolent to tho dependent jjorernoss, who, after all, they argued, Waa-'Jittlo better than themselves and JPMUty a servant for all that she dressed -Uk« a lady and had her raeals with tho ttwily. - sjra, Loeksley altered this, and after w arrival Margaret breakfasted in MrtMly state in the schoolroom. Hanry Loeksley made a feeble pro '•Poor little Jim!" tenderly after a pause, while the tears welled afresh to the sad blue eyes; "he will miss me; 1 hope—I do hope she will be kind to him;" and then she thought of the days she had spent rambling in the fields and meadows with the boy, his little hand clasping hers, his little feet pattering along, and his tongue going at no end of a rate as he asked her all sorts of queer questions, tho outcome of the dawn of intelligence and understanding. It galled her to dwell on those peaceful days, full of cailm, ere Gertrude Rayner came to reign at Oak Hurst as mistress, for all was so sadly changed since she held the reins of management and she felt that she was being driven out, worsted 4n the fight; and her proud spirit not yet subdued by poverty and adversity, rebelled fiercely against this tyrant in petticoats, who, secure in a good man's love, with cwery comfort money could procure, was heartlessly forcing her once more to face a pitiless world alone. •'She treats me like a dog,1' she murmured angrily. "1 will not lay myself open to such treatment any longer,11 her pride stung by the thought of the many humiliations she had' experienced at Mrs. Locksley's hands " I will look out for something else, and tell Mr. i oedsley— no, 'my employer,' as she would term him, bitterly, "of my decision to-morrow.1' And having come to this conclusion, Margaret rose slowly from the stile with her usual grace of movement, and turned toward the house. Half-way across the lawn, she was encountered by a big fair woman, detestably, colorlessly fair; flax n hair, light gray eyes, with white lashes, and a skin like a snow drift. "So, Miss Crewe," commenced this large white woman, "idling away your time as usual? It was only yesterday I told you P thought you might occupy you leisure hours -which, by the way, seem to be many—in mending the child's clothes. I don't care to do it." "1 can quite believe that," returned Margaret shortly, her blue eyes flashing ominously "It is your duty," continued Mrs. Loeksley with irritating calm and effrontery, "to keep his clothes neat and tidy—part of your daily work, just as much as it is tho housemaid's to dust his nursery." "And like the housemaid I fail to give you satisfaction," observed the governess coolly, controlling her wrath. "Well certainly," acknowledged the mistress of Oak Hurst, with a sneer that made her plain face absolutely - ideous. "If the arrangement for Jim were placed in my hands I should look out at once for another, and, to my mind, more suitable instructress for him." , "A fortunate thing for me that a r / rangements are not in your hands " / "i've no doubt you think so. To/tny mind you are altogether unsuiteti for tho position you hold " / "Indeed!" 'Yes, indeed." "You think I am too good/looking?" suggested .Vargaret tantalizingly. "By no means " return/d the other quickly. « Tto fast-lopking, if you like." 'You are the first person who has ev< r lold mo that," exclaimed the girl with another ominous Hash from her beautiful eyes. "Really?" said Mrs. Loeksley insult- "1 dare say I shall not be the last You have more the appearance of a third-rate actress than a governess," with a jealous glance at the slender figure and well-poised graceful golden head. ••And you look like a lady, and are not one—not even womanly," retorted Margaret fiercely, losing all self-control, and then realizing to what a low level she was sinking by bandying words with such a woman, she turned away abruptly, and walked swiftly to the school room, where tea and her pupil were awaiting her. That evening, as soon as Henry Loeksley returned, she sought him, and in a few words told him her desire to leave as s on as possible. "1 shall be sorry to lose you," ho said with kindly eyes, "and Jim will bo in despair." "I hope not," she said quickly, a suspicious moisture in her eyes, a tremble on her red lips. "I am sure of it; he is much attached to you."., "He is so young; he will soon grow .to care for another governess." "I don t know that; he is not like "As governess?i n' "Yea; or companion. I don't mind which." "Or both togetherP" '•That would be rather a difficult position, would it not?" "No; I don t see why it should be You might instruct a child during the day, and read, play or sing to the parent or parents at night'' "Yes. Still, that would hardly give me a leisure moment." "True. Then you would not care to accept such an engagement?" "I hardly know," sne said doubtfully. "Needs must, sometimes; I cannot afford to be idle.'' "The reason I ask is," he went on. "because an old friend of mine asked me to look out for a lady who ^ oulu° instruct his little niece tor four hours in the day, and sing to him, and play chess with him, of an evening occasion ally." " I s e e . " "Do you feel disposed to try it? My friend lives at Harlowe Hall, Bracken dene, South Devon. His sister, Mrs. Morton, lives with him, and it is her daughter who will be your pupil. They are very rich people, I think your duties will be light, and not unpleasant, and the salary will be higher by twenty pounds than you have been receiving." "Very liberal," she murmured. "Will you think it over? They would want you at once," he continued, divining there had been a storm in a teacup, and that it would be a relief to Margaret to get away soon from Oak Hurst; "so you could go this week. You can have a holiday. Will you thinkit over and let me know your decision?" "There is no necessity to do that," she answered quietly. "I have already arrived at a decision." "You refuse9" he exclaimed. "On the contrary, I accept, and am deeply grateful to you for telling me of it." "I am glad." he returned cordially. "I am sure vou will be happy there." "I trust sb." "And we shall hea/ of you, and see you sometimes, too. / H arriet and I generally go there at 0hristmas." "I shall be glad^to see you and Miss Loeksley again/' she answered warmly. 1'And now to arrange matters;" and then they plunged into business details, and when she lefrhis room it was arranged that she should goto Devonshire the following Tuesday, unless Mr3 Morton sen-t contrary directions. / [TO BE CONTINUED.J SCIENCE OF BUMPOLOGY.

Daniel O'Connell, an African gorilla, Theodore Parker, ISoss Tweed Thomas Jetierson, Dr. Channing and other desperadoes, and then I was asked, in a hollow and impressive whisper, to step into the consulting department, where the examination would be held. I sat down on one chair, and a young man with a wealth of auburn hair and some stenographic ability sat on another, prepared to take notes. The professor then stood in front of me awhile, studied the architecture of my ears sized up my facial expression and ran his eye rapidly over the various slopes and plateaus of my head. Then he said: 4 e-markable; very remarkable, sir. You have a very remarkable head.' 1 waved my hand in deprecation, but what he said was no surprise to me.

"Oh no; f have had plenty of leisure. Only I think it best to go." Loeksley seemed to understand for he remained silent, regarding the governess intently. For the first timo in all the three years she had livod in his houses he real zed how beautiful she was —how graceful, how ladylike, and woll bred; and also for tho first time a suspicion of his wife's unreasonable and groundless jealousy flashed across his brain ami a feeling very like indigua tion stirred his honest lieart.

An instance is given. A year or so ago a dark-eyed, comely and intelligent iady, of marriageable years, came over from Scotland to visit her married sister in Canada. Her name was Inness. She saw a stray copy of the Chicago Helping Hand, containing the caril of a Dakota bachelor wanting a lady correspondent "with view of matrimony." She responded —in fun, of course. Various letters passed between them, photographs were exchanged. The young man represented himsef as a young farmer with house, stock and suburban estate. He was pictured in the mind of the lady as a sort of English country gentleman. Ho proposed and she accepted with the condition that, if both were pleased on meeting they would marry, he sending her money to pay her fare from Canada to the South Dakota town. She came a few weeks ago and, as she stepped from the car. was recognized and welcomed by the delighted young man, as she was monlovely than the photo indicated. But the delight was not mutual. Miss Inne>s insisted that .he was not the man who sat for the picture—had red hair and didn't suit her fancy at all. She turned her back upon him and cruelly blasted all his fond hopes of conjugal joys, returning to Canada on tho next train. That young man at Parker is out the money advanced for her fare and the object of merriment to all the ma:dens of that section, none of whom >ould now marry him Ho might have fared better had he sent his own photograph and been honest in his representations. —St. Paul Globe.

BBHNBTT, Publisher, P1NCKNEY MICHIGAN THE TELEPHONE CASE. The Supreme Court Declares in Favor of Bell. White Scotch oats are I eing i-old throughout the state in the same manner as the inuc'i lalked-of Bohemian oats', uuil what is very remarkable is the fact that farmers bite at the bait, give their notes and become victims of one of the most transparent frauds ever executed. The high priced eats are no better than common oats—it being once proven in Pennsylvania that it farmer had sold his crop at the market price; an agent brought them back to him, labeled Bohemian oats, and he paid the $10 pe/ bushel. In Ohio the farmers were victimized out of $100,- 000. The game nourished best in that state some three years ago, yet to-day courts are declaring the business a fraud, and in cases where notes had not been transferred the farmer escapes paying for his folly. This is the way the clerk of the weather in New York city explains the recent blizzard: One storm started in the western lake region and moved slowly to the eastward and southward. The other began in (leorgla and made its way to the northeast, as is proper for all well behaved storms. Moreover the Georgia storm had the right of way, but the western storm meeting It off Cape Hatteras wouldn't give In. So a pitched battle was fought. To the glory of the west. the blizzard from Dakota completely paralyzed the Georgia wanderer and easily did it with one hand tied to its back. Dr. William A. Hammond, ex-Surgeon- General and an eminent physician of New York city, announces that he will take up his residence in Washington in October of next year, when he will occupy a line house now being built for him on Columbia Hights, near the residence of Mrs. Gen. Logan. Dr. Hammond was dismissed from the army by Secretary Stanton in 1SG4, ami he then registered a vow that he would return to the city in -25 years fully restored in his position and honorably cleared of all shadow of suspicion. He was reinstated in 1870 and placed on the retired list without pay or allowance. Kugene Lynn Spots of New York, has gone to Australia, taking with him thirtysix rabbits,.inoculated with an unerringly fatal and contagious rabbit disease. He goes on a commission from the premier o ' Xew South Wales in the hope of being able to exterminate .the rabbits there, which have become such a pest that the government has offered a reward of 8250,000 for their extermination. The millions of rat>- bits which are now devastating the ticlds have all come from ancestors taken to that country from England in 1844. Patsey Reynolds of Newark, X. J., last year during the mad-dog scare went to Paris on the funds that were raised and was treated by Pasteur, inoculated with rabbit virus. Patsey's mother now claims that the virus turned the young man's head and made him a cigarette-smoking dude. So many boys and young men have fallen into this disgrticeful habit, that this fond mother's charges cannot be laid on the rabbit as the scape-goat General Kpltotue of Washington New*. The decision in the telephone cases was read by Associate Justice Blatchford In the United States supreme court on the lyth l u s t It comprised a very elaborate review of all the inventions of the telephone which have come up to claim priority to the discoveries of ! ell, and the suits which have been conducted in the c n u t s to set aside the Hell p a t e n t Justice Blatchford holds that the law do-s not require at the time app.ieation be made for a patent that there shall have been obtained a high degree of perfection; that the results may not have been entirely satisfactory at first in order that the patent may issue and stand against the assaults of others; that the electrical undulation effects set forth by Hell in Ids application have been fully attained, and ti at the vibrat on is identical to his description, it is first nee ssary to describe the process, then the apparatus. Justice Blatchford announce.!, after reading an hour and a half, tlwit the Drawbaugh defense had not been made out. The supreme court room was crowded to sutfoeation and the greatest intere t preyaile.l. There is nothing requiring the operation of instruments before the patent issued. It is the practicability of the ptvee-s that is 10 be ;-ho\vn. It is true that when Bell got the patents he thought the magnetic process best, but that does not prevent him from using (lie electrical process and attaining the same results. Hell discovered the way to attain the results we have now in transmitting articulate sound by electricity. A lengthy review followed respecting the investigation by various electricians about the time of the issuance of Hell's patents, and the conclusion was that there was nothing to show that any one had invented an apparatus prior to that invented by Bell, although vibrations by electricity had been transmitted prior to 1854. It was left for Bell to discover the principle, and this he adopted and subsequently perfected. No others have shown that ever thought of it. It is the ditierence between failure and success. Hell took up the work and carried it on to success where others had left off. The telephone is now conducted on the principle of the electrical telegraph—that is by making and breaking circuits. In the review of the litigation in various courts to test the validity of the Bell patents, the claims of Drawbaugh were handled very tercel v. The supreme ^ourt s telephone decision ruled out the claims of the Gray telephone company that their caveat had been fraudently examined by the Bell representatives while in the patent office. In conclusion, the decision affirmed the findings of the lower courts in favor of the Bell telephone company, and reversed the decision rendered against them in the lower court on the molecular theory. T h e decision is. therefore, in favor of the Bell telephone company by making permanent the injunctions secured. The dissenting opinion of Justices Harlan, Field and Hiadley was read by J u s - tice Bradley, sustaining the claims of Drawbaugh to priority of inventions. Th • decision is a serious disappointment to Mr. Dickinson, as he was one of the Drawbaugh att< rneys, and distinguished himself by an argument before the sup:ente court He has been sanguine of a decision overturning the Bell monopoly. The decision extinguishes many projected telephone companies in Michigan and maintains tho Bell monopoly until 1801. ^ " ^ f h e 1 ouse has passed bills for the pro- ' teciion in their wages of mechanics, laborers and servants In the District of Columbia and territories, and extending the provisions of the eight-hour law to letter carriers.

These methods and reliances are illustrated to-day in a series of old-fashioned roots and herbs preparations recently given to the world' by the well-known pr-prletors of Warner's safe cure -preparations made from formula; possessed l y n any of oldest families, and rescued for popular use, anil issued under the hapt y designation of Warner's Lo# Cabin •iemedles. "My s o n , " exclaimed a venerable woman to the writer when he was a boy, "my son, y o u r yellar and pale and w . a k like 1< okiu', you'r needin' a g o o i shaking up with, soat s a s ' i a r l l ' . " A j u g of sarsaparilhi was just as notes-' sary in t h e "winter s u p p l i e s " of lifty j ears ago as was a barrel of pork, and a famous medical authority says that tho very general prevalence of the use of such a preparation as Log Cabin Sarsaparilla explains the rugged~health of our ancestors. While Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla is an excellent remedy for all seasons of the year, It is particularly valuable in the spring, when the system is full of sluggish blood and requires a natural constitutional totfclc and invigorator to resist colds and pneumonia, and the eu'ects of a long winter, l'hilo M. Parsons, clerk of the City Hotel of Hartford, Conn., was prostrated with a cold which, he says, "seemed to settle through my body. I neglected it and the result was my blood became impoverished and poisoned, indicated by Intlamed eyes. I was treated but my eyes grew w i s e . I was obliged to wear a shade over them. 1 feared that I would he obliged to give up work.'' " U n d e r the operation of W a r n e r ' s Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and Liver P i l l s , " he snys, " T h e sore and Inflamed eyes disappeared. My blood, 1 know, is In a healthier condition than it has been for ears. I have a much better appetite. I snail lake several more bottles for safety's sake. Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla is a great blood purifier and I most heartily recommend i t . ' ' A few bottles of Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla used in the family now will save many a week of sickness and many a dollar of bills. Use no other.

BEIKETT, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR Pinckney, Michigan. Thursday,.... March 2«, Xto&. Washington letter. tfrom Oar Correspondent. WASHINGTON, MARCH 28th, 1883. On last Friday at the same hour that 'the final rites over tbe dead Emperor 'were being pronounced in Berlin the German regidents of Washington, the Ambassadors ot foreign countries, the President and his Cabinet and many 'distinguished citizens testified their respect tor the deceased ruler by their attendance upon memorial services at the old Concordia Evangelical Church. The foreign ministers were in full court 4r§sa, blazing with gilt, and wearing their decorations of honor and order. Among them were the Chinese Minister and suite, tbe Mexican minister and ladies, tbe Brazilian legation, tho British, Spanish, Italian and Rusthe Advancement of Women, National Indian Association ot Women. National Moral Education Society, the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic. Then there are quite as manj foreign and international bodies which will be represented by distinguished women workers from abroad, besides many other American organizations which I have not space to mention. The Committee ot arrangements For this great gathering have had an enormous amount of work upon their shoulders, and as one of them expressed it have worked "most womanfully" tor weeks. Now they have only to wait a few days for the spreading of the least. The present Congress may not pass a postal telegraph bill, but things are working that way. The agitation in fayor of placing tbe telegraph hues under tbe control ot the Postmastergeneral or supervision of the Interstate Commission is significant as showing AT THE NEW ft FURNITURE STORE * * you can get REPAIRING OR CABINET WORK of tbe most difficult kind done neat and cheap.

I fear 'and the Corean Embassy, in their that the *sy trouble in this matter is that quaint costumes Tbe German legation sat to the right of the altar and the President and members of the Cabinet ra front of the chancel rail, Mr. Cleveland was 51 year old yesterday (Sunday.) Judging from liis face one would say he wears his official responsibilities lightly. His 4ieaVtfo us perfect, and his three years '•of Presidential work and worry have •fciade no wrinkles on his face. He has *no more gray hairs, and indeed he seems a younger man and has more pleasant lines in his countenance nowthen when he assumed White House cares. Few Presidents have been able to maintain such uniformly good health while in office as Mr. Cleveland. Hi* condition is a matter of surprise to those who know how hard he is compelled to work and how many and 'great are his daily annoyances. General Harrison was sent into a delirium In which he raved about the officeseekers, and from which he finally Vlied. President Taylor ' was dragged to his grave by these same cares, and President Arthur was induced by then to say, within two months after he went to the White House that he would not accept the position again if it were offered to him on a silver plate. iStill it will be remembered that in "three years he had changed his tone »nd was as ardent a candidate as ever Worked a wire. President Cleveland's health in the IVhite House is due largely to his power of throwing off Worry. He decides questions as they come before him. He devotes his mind to the thing at hand. This settled, he thinks no more about it, and throws his force into the next duty that lies nearest him, and when he leaves his cilice he does not carry his work with him. Then the President is not an extravagant. man in any way. He is not a high j liver, he smokes bvt one cigar a day, i " i (which is after dinner) be has wine on » his table only when guests are present { who are used to it, he sleeps like a child, i has ft perfect constitution, no dyspep>ia, j and he is not a fretful man. J Congress snubbed the women again ' on Saturday last by reporting adverse- I ly the House bill granting suffrage to | the women of the District ot Columbia. ' Next Saturday evening is the time for the grand public reception at the Rigg'-s House for the women """of't lie International Council. Speaking of the reception Miss Susan Anthony said, "we want to give the people an opportunity to see what manne.i f women we are.'1 Thousands ot women have responded to the call of this convention and there is little doubt ot the success of undertaking. It is intended that every work in which women are actively interested shall be represented by some officer of that organization, each representative wqarftig an appropriate badge.

Twenty-Hye Dcari.-ManY Injured, The first section of the fast mail train from New York to Jacksonville went through a trestle at a point seventy-five miles south of Savannah, Ga., the other morning. T h e entire train, except the engine, was demolished. Twenty-five persons are reported to have been killed, and between thirty and forty injured, ten of whom are ex pec ted-to die. The private car !of President Wilbur of the Lehigh Valley road, with Mr. Wilbur and George Gould and wife and others* in it, was one of the train. President Wilbur was seriously injured. George Gould was unhurt and Mrs. Gould only slightly injured. Belief trains have gone out with physicians. The accident was caused by a broken rail under the baggage car. T h e baggage cur got o i Hi • track about a quarter of a mile before it readied the bridge at Hurricane river. The baggage car mounted the ttack, but the train passed safely oyer t h e bridge. Immediately on the other side of the bridge there is a trestle several hundred feet in length. When the baggage car struck the trestle work it gave way and the entire train with the exception of the engine dropped through and, with the exception of one car, was completely wrecked. The train consisted of a combination car, three baggage cars, smoking car, one coach, two Pullman sleepers and a priva'e car of the Lehigh Valley. This private car which was occupied by President Wilbur of the Lehigh road, his family an I friends, survived the shuck. T h e second engine ran at once to Blackshire, a mile distant, for assistance. Soon all t h e physicians in the place were present, besides many who were ready to render assistance in getting out the dead and rescuing the wounded. The superintendent of the Savannah, Florida A: Western railroad, Mr. Fleming, as soon as he heard of the accident, left Savannah for the scene of the accident with physicians and nurses. All the afternoon and evening he had a full force of hands clearing away the wreck. About 400 feet of the trestle was carried away. A THEATKJ3 BUKNEI). Eighty Persons Meet a Terrible Death.

In :s^0 he was admitto I to the bar, and immediately 'ormod a partnership with Mr. Young. n IM'1 he was elected tc the ' h i e legislature, and in the same year removed to Toledo, where Young & Waite built up a very large and remunerative law practice. It was not until 1^?.\ however, t h a t i h e people a t large know much of the m a n who has for so Ion.: been the most important official in the government, not excepting t h e president. When in l>7J Hamilton Fish, then secretary of state under (Jrant, cast about to select three counselors to represent the I nited States before" the <.<>neva arbitration commission, his choico for one fell upon .Morrison Kemick Waite of Ohio.

Throughout Kuropo his argument for the,. • nited States received unstinted uraise as a masterly vindication of the American claims. On his return to this country after the successful close of his labors a t d e n e y a he returned to his Ohio home. Resuming t h e practice of law in Toledo, Mr. Waite continued to reside there until 1S74. In t h a t y e a r the death of Chief Justice Chase caused a vacancy in tho supreme bench, and Morrison It. Waite was chosen by President Grant to be the -seventhin .that long line of distinguished ustices who have held the chief justiceship of the i'nited States. Not a dissenting voice was heard in the senate chamber. Messrs. Sumner, Sherman; Wade and Thurman spoke in favor of him, and he took tho oath of office March •!, ISM. Kntering immodiatelvupon the discharge of.his duties, he continued todispense justice witli uniform impartiality until on Monday, March 29, when 1 ho went home after t h e decision had been rendered in the famous telephone case. In 1S76 his name was mentioned in connection with the republican nomination for the presidency. He immediately published a letter of declination, t h e brevity and point of which were alike creditable to his intellect and high character.

The next few days passed rapidly, and after a tender farewell with little Jim, a cordial one with Mr. Locks'ey and his sister, and a cold one with Gertrude, Margaret entered the pony-carriage and was whirled away to the station, en route for Devonshire. The journey was long and somewhat tedious, only the sun was shining bright ly and budding Nature at her freshest and fairest, and she was interested looking at the lovely scenery through which she was Hying. "Norbury! . Norbury!" rang in her ears at last, and with a start she roused herself from her day dreams, and gathering up her parcels, alighted from the train and stood looking rather h e l p - lessly around. "Any luggage, marra?" enquired a porter. "One box." Which after a while was duly brought to light and deposited near her. ••uo.you k n o w / ' sho asked timidly, **il MU»y carriage has been sent from Hajrlowo Hall for m o ^ ' •'Why, yes, 'ra. The banish 'as boon waitin1 hero a matter o' faivc-and-thirty minutes.1 ' Margaret hurried out of tho station on hearing this, followed by the porter shotildering the box, anil entering the carraige was swiftly away through the park like grounds. "There bet lie Hall, miss," announced the coachman, turning his head round and pointing with his whip towards a stately pile of grey stone, with square battlemented towers, and mullioned windows, and queer twisted chimneys, and broad terraces rising one above the other, and a background of black firs and "rising hills, the whole silvered by the cold beams of the newly risen moon. Margaret looked curiously at her new home, wondering what tho great grey walls held for her, and whether she would be happy or melancholy there. She was fascinated by its appearance, despite that a sort of loneliness, almost ghostliness, hung over it in the moonlight, and forgot her weariness as she gazed at the battlements, the great window's with their lozenge shaped panes, and tho family coat-ofarms blazoned midway in gold and rich colors, the massive oak door studded with huge nails, and the lions vuuehant that guarded each side of the entrance: ^Nevertheless she was glad when tho heavy door .swung, hack, ami she was welcomed, in tho.dusky, shoulder-high panelled hall by a plump pleasant looking woman in" a rustling silk gown. • Miss Crewe?" she said interrogatively. "Yes,1 ' assented Margaret. "Let me show you to your a p a r t - ments. You must be fatigued. Wo expected you an hour ago.1' "The train was late," explained tho governess, as the housekeeper opened a door, matching, yet not so heavy as the hall door, and went up the broad timejblackened sta rease to tho corridor abo<A, where he opened a door dis- •losihg two small and ono fair sized .room, in which a cheery fire was burning, for the spring days were still chilly. "This is your bedroom, Miss Crewe; there is a small dressing room beyond, and this side a cosy sitting room 1 tfcj$g you will like them; tho yiew W N M the river is considered very fine. I ' i t a lovely," she agreed readily, lifting a glance, across the water, that looked like ripples of molten silver 'neath tho moonbeams, ore the woman drew down the blind. "Is there any company here n o w ? " she added.* " > ust I dress?" "i'here is no one here now but mistress. Miss . orothy, and Mr. Norbury." ' M r . Norbury!" echoed Margaret, while a bewildered look crossed her face. "Yes- the master—Mrs. Morton's brother," explained the housekeeper glibly. "Yes, of course," murmured Mar faret not willing to let the woman now that she had never even heard her actual employer's name. For sho had learnt from" Henry Locksley that Mrs. Morton possessed only a paltry hundred a year, and in reality was d e - pendent on her wealthy brother for almost everything. "Mrs. Morton would like you to come down to dinner at eight if you are not too tired. Master dines early, and never leaves his room of an evening." "1 seo. i will bo ready at eight." . '*! will send one of the maids to show you the way. You might lose it yourself." "Yes, easily in a great place like this." "If there is anything you require, will you please to ring the bell." '•'Ihank you, yes;" and then the woman withdrew, and Margaret was left alone 1 or a few moments she sat there gazing around the cosy, well lighted, well warmed rooms in silence, admiring tho old fashioned carven furniture, the great four-post bed, the oval swing mirror, the high mantelshelf, the quaint china: and then she rose with a half sigh, and, throwing off her tweed traveling dress, <*proceeded to don a dark blue silk, a present from Miss Locksley, and, fastening the lace around her lirm white throat with a, tiny diamond arrow, a remnant of happier and more prosperous days, stood for a moment scanning the reflection in the old mirror. "1 wonder will she be jealous," murmured Miss Crowe by " s h e " meaning Mrs. Morton. "It is *a pity, as I have to earn my bread, that I am not a rightdown ugly woman—a fright ; they would not want to turn me adrift then.'' Poor Margaret! i; er rare beauty had brought her little but sorrow up to the present, and she turned away from the brilliant reflection in the mirror with s; gh heavier and deeper than the first. Just then a knock came at the door, and opening it she found a maid servant ready to conduct her to Mrs. Morton's presence. They traversed sundry passages, all panelled with oak of a mediaeval appearance, through the entrance hall with its garnishing of swOrds and spears and other deadly weapons, and then through a door on the right. /*s.'Margaret stepped through this door she found herself transformed frdm the past to the present Outside all was old, dark, antique; this room was bright, and light a n d modern to the last degree. The walls were hung with an ivsthetic green paper, bordered by a green and gold dado; a carj et of the same hue covered the lloor, into which the feet sank luxuriously; a splendid bear skin was stretched before the curtained fire pla e, in which glowed a ruddy iog lire that emitted a pleasant perfume. Pretty tables laden with dainty nick-nacks, were dotted about; low inviting chairs and f.e < a tries, and handsome vases bearing tlowers. On the walls were several g< od water colors, intermixed with rare bits of china, plush mounted and splendid, some of the Sevres being stud ed with precious stones. A grand piano stood open, strc^vn with Sullivan's, Milton Welling's, « ow en's and other popular composers' songs; a harp stood in the corner, while a guitar with a broad blue ribbon leaned against a chair beside it; and a tiny King Charles spaniel snoozlod into the' warm rug, and a softTiglft streanTed on tli- charming loom from several gleaming crimson gold mounted lamps that hung from the painted ceiling, and softly illuminated the face of a lady reclining with negligent grace on a sofa near the lire. She was a very handsome woman, undoubtedly past her first prime, being nearly forty, still splendidly, if icily, beautiful. The features were perfect, straight, and finely chiselled; the large eyes of a clear gray, hard and unflinching. Pencilled black brows arched above them, anil contra ted strangely with the bright bronze colored hair. The shape of her head was classic, and its grace displayed by the Grecian coil of haii low on her neck. Her ligure was grand and queenly; but l er expression and general air spoke of unbending pride and extreme coldness. "Ah, Miss Crewe," she remarked, not rising, but stretching out a soft white hand', which" "felt to \rargaretr cold as that of a corpse, "you have comedown. You are not tired t h e n . " "No, thank you," returned Margaret composedly; "I am not tired." ' I hope you found your rooms comfortable and prepared for you " The words were studiously courteous. The tone and manner in which they were delivered was indiferent, almost scornful. "Yes, they are very comfortable," responded the governess, whose birth and experiences enabled her to reply to Vrs Morton with a quiet pride that equalled if it did not surpass her own. "I suppose Mr. Locksley informed you as to y o u r ' d u t i e s ? " went on the widow languidly, concentrating all her attention on tho little dog, .who had crept up to her silken skirts at the approach of a stranger. "Partly. Ho told me that I should bo expected sometimes to read to Mr. Norbury, or play chess with him of an evening." "Sometimes," echoed the other with a little dorisivo laugh, pulling at tho spaniel's ears. " T h a t with him moans every evening if you have a pleasant voico and know anything at all about chess." "I know something of tho game, as I used to play frequently with my father. As to my voice, 1 mu.st leave Mr. Norbury to decide whether it be pleasant or not to him." "Ah, yes, of course," assented Mr?. Morton, with the same air, only now for the first time she raised her eyes and looked at the new inmate of Harlowe Hall closely. "Too goud looking," was her silent verdict. "Only Ben isn't likely to make a fool of himself at his age, and Jack isn't here, so it doesn't much matter. ' Still, the full-blown widow felt her charms would appear a trifle pusoii beside the bloom and freshness of this eirl, whose years did not yet number twenty-two. Aloud she went on: " «y brother is a little exacting, Miss Crewe. He is somewhat of an invalid and keeps a good deal in his room, especially of an evening." " e does not dine with you, t h e n ? " ventured Margaret "Oh dear n o , " drawled his sister " P e dines at the barbaric hour of one. Seven or eight suits me better." " 1 hen at what hour will he expect me to play chess with h i m ? " "About half-past eight until ten. Hu retires to rest soon after t h a t . " " I s e e , and I am to hold myself in readiness to go toliim on any evening?" said Margaret, who began to reali/.o that she would be more companion to the master of Harlowe Hall than governess to Dorothy Morton " I think it better that you should do so: at all events until he seems to take a dislike to you. i must warn you that he almost invariably takes a dislike to those who attend on him. and frequently dismisses them at a moment's notice." " I hope I shall not incur his displeasure and be dismissed in such a summary m a n n e r , " smiled Margaret. " I hardly think you will be dismissed in a h u r r y , " thought Mrs. Morton, and she once more regarded intently the o t h e r s beautiful face. "» hope n o t , " she answered aloud, with just a shade more courtesy in her manner. "You must be patient and forbearing with him. He really suffers a good deal, and having been a very active man, feels the almost entire confinement in one room greatly." • ' iN aturally he would." I s*hall do my best to be patient with him. And with regard to your daughter, will you please tell me what you wish with regard to h e r ? " J "Oh, Dorothy! She is a mere baby, not six yet. Two or three hours a day will be ample for her. Teach her a little music and to read better, and take her out for walks when you feel inclined to do so and have the leisure." "Perhaps the best arrangement to m a k e " suggested Margaret, "would be to teach "her in the mornings and go out in the afternoons." "Yes; at any rate for the present. But vou understand she has a nurse, so.you need only g • when you are inclined." "Thanks; I understand. Will Mr Norbury expect me to read to him this evening? ' "No; you will commence your newduties to morrow. And now come to dinner," as tho sound of a gong rang through the house. The words were civil, yet Mrs. Morton's tone was insolently indifferent, and Miss Crewe followed her across the spear-decked hall to the dark-panueled, sombre dining-room;" [TO !!H ( O N ' T I X l ' l ' l l . 1 NYE O U T SHOPPING.

EW YORK is a great metropolis, and trade has been built up to such a degree there that now you have to beg and plead and humiliate yourself in the presence of a saleslady who is a self-ma e speller and works out ditlioult problems in mathematics by means of a No. 2 he<agon pencil, frequently moistened by touching its point on the soft palate; otherwise you cannot be permitted to purchase. The alarming frequency of noisy marts of trade, the tremendous multiplicity of busy haunts of men, to say nothing of the vortex of tratlio and the hum and buzz of industry the vortex itself frequently occupying a whole block, and the mart, hum or buzz very often extending further than that—all unite to throw the buyer and the seller together with a loud report in New York. The result is that tbe small buyer who goes where he can get the best prices goes home with his front teeth in his vest pocket, and it takes him two weeks to get back the ear which he left hanging on the elevator just before the holidays, of course, he gets other ears, but when a man has become attached to both of his ears he hates to separate them or see them rudely torn a p a r t He cannot be content with the ears of others. IVI en take pride in ears with freckles and side whiskers on them sometimes, and refuse to accept the waxen, beautiful but beardless ears of people who have had greater social advantages. But I started out in my poor, weak way to speak of the matter of shopping. I have shopped in New York, and also in the west. In New York I did not enjoy it. In fact, I rarely shop in New York, preferring to go to an interior town, where goods are marked low and the cracker barrel is within the reach of all. I went into a large and teeming mart of trade and frill emporium on Twenty third street one hot day last summer to buy a pair of suspenders. I did not, wish to buy them because I was vain. It was not with the idea of emphasizing the great gulf between myself and those who have been denied suspenders. It was as a plain American citizen, who desired to submit to the hars•' d e m a n d s of a false but inexorable hot-house air of metro olitan. society law, that I went in at the side door of that place. I did not vaunt. I was not pulled up. I did not b have myself in an unseemly manner. I did not intend to give the goods public recognition through the | ress. I did not intend to w'ear them on the outside. My idea was simply to go in quietly, select a young woman who was worthy of my confidence, call her away from the \ulgar herd and tell her that I had yielded to the false and cruel customs of a sin-cursed metropolis —that 1 had decided to adopt the effeminate and artificial manners of civilization, and would like to see a pair of red suspenders with blue ends. In former years I had bought goods of Gen. Worth, at Laramie City, who kept a genera' store, a hotel, and a clear eyed bull-dog all in one room. The General played chess and colored his wiskers. He did almost everything except k* ep store, run a hotel or extract people from his bulldog. In this way customers got into the habit of waiting on themselves and making a memorandum of it in the bright, ( r i s p a t m o s phere. Gen. Worth had i een a masculine saleslady in New York when he was young, and so when anybody came in and spoke about buying anything he begar to regard him with suspicion and treat him shamefully, and try to 'sick' the dog on him: but after a while he would run out of profanity and resume his chess and beg people to wait on th mselves and not come in there right in the middle of the day, when they that he was playing away. So w e waiting a good while, as there were so many others ahead of me, but if the occasion now seemed ripe I wished she would show me her suspenders. 4¾ knew very well chess and couldn't all got into the habit .-urselves, and I credit which in New attain. get of waiting on acquired notions of York do not [ went into the great surging Twentythird - treet convention of good clothes, a lone man, borne on the breast of a big t i d e o f h u mand ty„of an e n tirely a ncLdi a - metricallv different sex from my own. I tried to get out. but a large and prosperous lady in black satin and weighing much more than sho looked to. stood on one of my feet as if to draw my attention to something. I remained there till another woman came to relieve her by standing on my other foot. The crowd did not thin out for a long time, neither did that fat party who stood on my foot, but finally 1 pot a Vhance to move up to the counter where a tired young' woman was looking dreamily <»ver'the heads of the seething mass, while a row of customers jabbed a* her with their parasols. / ' I bode my time. / When the delegations from the valley of the Harlem ;.nd beyotid Brooklyn and over against Hoboken and farther Gilgal, and the forests of Philadelphia and Fort ee, and them that dwelt in the uttermost parts of Steen Hundred and Steenty-steenth street, and in the habitations of Murray Hill, and the dwellers i n / t h e flats of the money changers./ and them that live over against, Tcmipkinsville, and West Orange, and Pepsin Ohio, and Kabush and'Oanada had thinned out a little, 1 beckoned to the saleslady to p t her ear over, towards me, as I desired to express a thought. Sho leaned towards mo in a reserved way which tickled my nose with the rim of her high, intellectual ear. 1 said to her that 1 had been SHE VV< S SIIOCKED. Those were my exact words, and yet the papers the next day not only gave a garbled and erroneous account of it, but misspelled my name twice. Thus it came to pass that the only time that I ever tried to buy anything in New York, when 1 had money to do it with, L met with a repulse that 1 can not yet fully under-tand, 1 tried to explain it to the authorities afterwards. 1 spoke of my earnest desire to devote my future life to the use of suspenders and other refining influences, but they said that I surely knew better than to try to get suspender^ at the corset counter on the first floor, when everybody knew that the suspender department was up seven Moors, back of tho restaurant and n the left of the wooden ware department, in charge of an elderly m a n with thick set red Donegals and a heavily embos.-ed . nose. Rather than admit that 1 didn't know New York intimately, from Castle Garden to 3 o'clock a. in., I set led the matter and got a pair of good suspenders of a man who does a quiet business on the sidewalk at the corner of Fulton street and broadway, I believe, unless he has moved his store up to P a r k Kow. He did not show that air of reluctance and extreme anguish over being separated from his suspenders which we notice in the large dealer. 1 paid him 4o cents for the pair I got of him, and was told afterwards that I could have purchased the same goods on TwTenty-third street for ;>L' cents. The reason :S9 cents, or i;ii cents, or 1!' cents, or nine cents is the price, as I understand it. is that it gives an opportunity to the saleslady to ship your goods tb Fort Hamilton, where they are done up and returned, while your 40 cents go to Wall street and pa>s through a clearing-house, a house of detention, quarantine and a receiving vault. You then get a cent back, miss your boat home and have to stop at the hotel all night at a cost of M *.". Certainly western merchants seem to sutler less remorse when they part with their goods than the merchants of New York, if we may judge the New York merchant by the person who represents him. who stands behind the counter in order to obstruct trade and throw obstacles in the way of trailic. freer trade is what we need, and as a property owner in New York, a taxpayer and the polished head of a family, I think, for one, that we ought to get together and talk this matter over. Otherwise, people are going to Omaha and Kansas City to buy th«dr goods. VtrjHoiiiAutkv .•^e was very romantic. Her father was a millionaire whoso life had been devoted to sausage raising.
