Washisotow, March 12. Senator Manderson offered a resolution which he asked might be printed and lie upon the table. It calls upon the secretary of state for such information as the department mav hare, regarding the rumored attempt of Gen. Borrios, president of Guatemala, to sitze upon the territory or destroy the integ rity of the republics of Nicaragua, Honduras, San Salvador and Costa Kica, and to report what steps are being taken by the govern ment to preserve the rights of the United States under existing or pending treaties. Senator George presented the credentials of E. C. Withall as senator from Mississippi, vice Lamar resigned. He was sworn in. Mr. Van Wvck called up bis resolution offered yesterday, directing the secretary of the interior and the attorney general to take steps to prevent the sale of lands granted to the State of Florida to aid in the construction of railroads in that State. Mr. Van Wyck sent to the clerk’s desk and had read a letter written by J. II. Simonton to Hon. Thns. R. Cobb, chairman of the House committee on public lands, setting forth the hardships experienced by settlers upon granted lands by reason of apprehension of the grantees of a repeal. Mr. Van Wyck appreciated the hazards the Senate assumed. In calling attention to the operations of the land grant railroads the Senate was informed a few days ago that the current authority was unbroken in the inter ior department in legislating the claims of the lands. That was undoubtedly true. Three grants were made in 1856 to construct the road. Hetore 1860 they had constructed from Fernandina to Cedar Keyes, but over 160 miles of the line nothing was done. In 1876, application was made to the de partment to have the claim recognized. Mr. Chandler of Michigan was secretary of the interior. He, with all the claims before him, returned the map to the company and said no title remained in the State. He refused to confirm the grant, yet the verv uext secretary of the interior revised this action, and there in preserved the continuity of the precedents in allowing this plundering of the public do main bv the railroad corps. After some remarks upon the merits of the bill by Senators Call. Plumb and Morgan, the Senate at 1.30, on motion of Mr. Cam eron, adjourned. WASHINGTON NEWS. Washington. March 12. A written message from the President was sent to the capitol this afternoon for the pur pose of withdrawing from the Senate the Nicaraguan canal treaty and the Spanish re ciprocity treaty, in order that they may be examined and considered by the new admin istration. The Senate had adjourned, how ever, before the message had reached its des tination. The democaatic senators completed their re-organization of the minorities of the Sen ate committees this afternoon. The list was given to the chairman of the republican cau cus committee, to be presented to the Senate tomorrow. The principal changes have al ready been published. A telegram was received at the Indian bureau today, announcing the sudden death os J. W. Howorth, general superintendent of schools, this morning at Albuquerque, New Mexico. At about 11 o’clock this morning a fire broke out in St. Dominick's Catholic church, one of the largest and finest churches in the city, and in a short time the entire interior of the church was in flames. It is understood that Col. A. B. Dickerson ol New York is to be appointed chief clerk of the treasury departmeht. The Evening Star this evening, savs "Messrs Carlisle, Beck ami Blackburn have been to see the President several times with regard to the appointment of Phil Thompson of Kentucky as commissioner of internal revenue, and a Urge portion of the democrats in Congress besides the entire Kentucky delegation, have added their efforts in his behalf. Mr. Morrison telegraphed to a friend last night from Springfield to see the President and tell him that he (Morrison would not ask anything else of the adminis tration but the appointment of Thompson. The liquor men in New York, representing a capital ot $15,000,000, sent a petition to Sec retary Manning this morning, urging his ap pointment. Senators Beck and Voorhees called on Manning again this morning and urged the matter with great earnestness, while Blackburn was closeted with the Pres ident for a long time on the same subject. The only opposition to the appointment is said to come from Kandali; yet it threatens to prove more powerful than all the influence brought on the other side. His opposition is on the ground that the position should not go to Kentucky. He is said to have warned Secretary Manning that the appointment of a Kentucky man to that place would be a great misfortune to the party. L’pan this. Secretary Manning has taken a stand in opposition to Thompson, and while he does not declare that he will not yield, he says he thinks it will be a had appointment The point made is that the commissioner of internal revenue should not come from a State so largely en gaged in the manufacture of whiskey as Ken tucky.” Sergeant E. S. Dinsmore of the Metropoli tan police force, who has been performing a special duty for years at the main entrance of the White House, resigned his position as police officer today to accept the place of one of the regular presidential ushers. It is mentioned as one of Dinsmore's qualifications for the place that he can tell a “crank” as far as he cau see him THE HOOMERS. Squatter* of Texus and Arkansas on the Move. New Yobk. March 12.

GRANT'S CONDITION. Dr. Brows |U Not Allowed to dee ilia Wit hoot a Note Proa Dr. Barker. New Yore. March 12. Gen. Grant appeared much refreshed upon awakening from a aound deep late in the forenoon and partook heartily of nourishment in a liquid form. He has been entirely free from pain for lour days and is now able to walk up and down stairs at will. I)r. Brown of North Adams, Mass., called to the residence of Gen. Grant this afternoon but was denied permission to tee the patient. Dr. Brown says that Wednesday last he vis ited Dr. Douglasa with a letter to that gen tleman, written by Fred Grant, intimating that Douglaaa should consult with Brown that Douglasa referred him to Dr. Fodyce Barker; that Barker was willing he should see the General, but would not allow anv treatment nnless he (Brown) would submii ms remedies to Dr*. Barker, Maraoe, Sands and Douglass. Dr. Brown refused to do this. Brown claims that he referred Dr. Barker to a former patient, and that Barker told him be would leave a note with Fred Gram accrediting him .Brown) to the Grant family. Today, Dr. Brown called at the General's residence, but Col. Fred Grant declined to admit him to tee the General without a note from Dr. Barker. Dr. Brown says: “It is an old story. This man is in the hands of these doctors and they dislike to have their plunder stolen. It is a Garfield farce again; many bulletins but nothing done. Tonight, after the evening visit to General Grant, Dr. Douglass said: "The General was sitting up this evening and in a fair con dition. He is not quite so well as Iasi night. He has taken his food fairly well. There is no very great change. He is no better, nor particularly worse than yetterdav. He did not sleep well Wednesday night, but made it up today.” The Medical Record in its next issue will print a technical analysis of the portion of the tissue, from the throat of Gen. Grant The analysis was made under a microscope and will be illustrated wiili cuts. 1’his exam ination determines definitely that there are cancerous disease* in Gen. Gram’s throat, and the decease is ot i iiia.ignam form. DYNAMITE projectile*. Inteiesting Trial of the Effectiveness ol a Nix Inch Nitry»Glycerioe Shell. Washingtoh, March 12. The second in a series ol dynamite pro jectile trials under the auspices of the Senate military committee, took place today, on the hanks of the Hotomae, about half wav be tween Georgetown and Chain Bridge. Four shots were fired today with six inch shells, carrying 11 pound bursting charges of nitro gelatine, containing about per cent, of pure nitro glycerine. The range was 1,000 yards, and the target was a perpendicular ledge of solid traproek on the south bank of the river. The first shell struck near the eastern margin of the ledge and exploded by concussion, shattering the face of the rock for a radius of about thirty feet and carrying away several tons of deb ris which were hurled for hundreds of yards up and down the stream. The second shell struck nearly in the cen tre of the ledge, exploding as before. It opened a cavertv in the face of the ledge, about twenty-five feet in diameter, and exca vated a pit six feet deep. Some of the frag ments of the rock from this explosion were hurled nearly half a mile, one piece weigh ing 11 pounds being thrown clear across the canal and lodging near the farm house ad joining the Georgetown reservoir. The other shots were similar in their ef fects. Notwithstanding a drizzling rain quite a concourse of people assembled to view the trial, among whom, in addition to several of ficers of the army and navy, were the mili tary and naval attachees of the German, French and Italian legations. The trial is regarded as a success in every respect, and as conclusive proof of the de structive power of a six inch shell. The members of the foreign legations present manifested great interest in the trial, particu larly the Russian minister and German mili tary attachee, who took copious notes of the proceedings. Some of the experts present expressed an opinion that any of the shells fired would have completely wrecked any unarmored ship afloat, and seriously racked the strongest ironclad. MEXICAN TROUBLES. Simeon Leri, Proprietor of the Mexican Financier, Expresses ills Views on Mexican Allnira. Boarox, March 12. Simeon Levi, proprietor of the Mexican Financier, arrived here tonight, and in an interview on Mexican affairs, with the Herald reporter, expressed his opinion that the moral influence of Mexico, as expressed in the President Diaz protest, would prevent the Central American war. The financial situation in Mexico is stead ily improving and excellent results are ex pected from the Diaz administration. He believed that President Diaz would not un dertake to interfere in the matter of the ap pointment of an Ami rican minister to Mex ico. His own opinion is that a New England man shonld be selected for the position,since a heavv investment of the capital in Mexico has been done by the East. “Mexican people,” he said, “are trying to keep still and make money. Revolutionary days are over. Should Mexico be compelled to interfere bv force of arms, to prevent Bar rios from making himself master of Central America, the affair *ould be short and sharp, Mexico has a large and well dis ciplined army and the military clasa would like to dash into the territory of Barrioa.” SHARON DIVORCE SUIT. The Senator Meals a March on the Courts. Sab Fkabcisco, March 11. A special to the Examiner from Sacramento says: It has just been brought to public notice that the legislature passed an amend ment to the civil code which, it is claimed, is in the interest of Senator Sharon, baa ing on the Sharon divorce anit.

A Mas Aaaoaaces lliaarlf Preside at ■ad Covaaaaader-ia-Cbiel—A Re bellion Among tuber State*. Libertad, San Salvador, Via Gilvedon. Mar. IS. On the 5th of March, President Barrio*, of I Guatemala, declared in the assembly of that i country that Central America should consti I tnte one republic, and at the same time he made the public announcement that he would assume command of all the military force* of the various States. This declaration was accepted by Honduras, but was rejected by San Salvadore. Nicaragua, and Coata Kica. The force* of Guartemala began immediately to march against San Salvador. The force* of the latter State repugnantly rove as one man to resist the invasion, and veaterday Ouartemala ceased hostilities. President Barrios, however, eent a request 11» President Zaldivar, of San Salvador, that the latter country should appoint two com missioner* who should proceed to Guarte mala with power to treat in the present cri sis. Whether this request will receive any at tention ha* not become known. Meanwhile, President Zaldavir had telegraphed an ac count of the situation to Gen. Dias,President of Mexico, and had asked him to use his in fluence to prevent bloodshed. In answer to this, Diaz aem the following telegram To President Zaldivar: Your telegram of the Tth inst. it understood. I have taken the necessary precautions against any con tingency that uiav arise. 1 have telegraglied to President Barro* as follows Your telegram of the Tth inst.. announcing your determination to declare Central Amer ica one republic and to assume command ol the forces thereof, has been received. This declaration has been made by your assembly only and has been rejected energetically by your sister republics. 1’hese circumstance* have created such antipathy to your course, among Mexican citizens, that my government will be obliged to take immediate action to prevent the execution of your threat againat the sister nationalities of this continent. Tin- people of San Salvador are enthusias tic in their del* rmination to preserve their independence. Patriotic feeling now runs so high that President Zaldivar hat extreme difficulty in retaining his troops. The publication of the telegram from Gen. Diaz to President Zaldivar has created im mense enthusiasm throughout the country. The powerful alliance with Mexico gives rise to hopes that war will be avoided. It is be lieved that President Barrio* will make no further serious attempt to enforce hi* pre sumptions decree of one Central American liepublic. ENGLAND'S TROUBLES. Great Excitement in England—A Secret session of the Cabinet Supposed to Discuss the Russian Question—A Crowd Surrounding Glad* stone's House. London, March 12. The Cabinet met at noun today. The un usually early hour, at which the ministry convened, at once attracted attention and reports quickly spread that a crisis was being considered. The interest in the meeting soon became general and intense. This was warranted by several incidents which preceded and attend ed the council. Immediately before the conference, Col. Geo. Maude, called upon Mr. Gladstone and had a long interview with him. Among the rumors to which this gave rise.was one to the etlect that Her Majesty had been advised that the India situ*tion was grave, and re quired vigorous, decisive action, and that the Queen had rather urgently insisted on her government doing something. This and similar rumors attracted large crowds to Downing street. Before the Cabi net had been long in session, the prime min ister’s official residence was surrounded by a large crowd. Up to this hour, i! o’clock, it is not publicly known what the ministers have done at the meeting. It is reported,however, that they have decided to address a serious representation to the Kuasian government that if through any Kuasian advance in Afghanistan, a conflict results with the Ameer’s troops, Kussia must accept the con sequence, as England is bound to guard the Afghan territory. The London Evening News states this af ternoon.that it has learned that remonstrances from the highest quarters have been addressed to the Czar of Kussin in the interest of peace and they have met with such chilly response that slight hopes are now entertained that hostilities between Kussia and England can be averted. Caibo, March 12. A dispatch has just been received from Suaklm which says heavy firing by Osman Digna’s force continues this (Thursday) evening. The regiments are returning fire. At that time bugles in the British camp were sounding a general alarm. SIGNS IN THE SKY. The False Prophet Distributes placard* and Excite* More Rebellion. Vakha, March 12. The Turkish authority in Arabia, a pro vince of Hedjose, have seized several hun dred placards which had been distributed by the emissaries of El Mahdi at Jeddah and other seaport towns opposite the Soudan. The placards order the faithful to organize and expel the Turks from Arabia, promising that the prophet will soon arrive at Jeddah and will leave bit hosts to Mecca.where there will be display* in the sky, such a* will leave no doubt of hi* identity.

Its readers were informed that Mr. Whltehouso would do wonderful things in saving money for the city, and the republicans who opposed him would never again be heard of.

The Qleee’* Beech said to have Foceb ae Heib to a Great Estate. The wife of Deacon Sidney S. Brown of Bagdad, near Gowander, New Fork, has been acknowledged by the court of Queen'* Bench a* an h-ire** to the Lawrence Townley e*tate in England, valued at •100.000,000. about •10 000,000 of which is believed to be her due. Before the opening of the present century. Lord Townley owned s fine estate in Eng land. and wa* the father of a wilful but comely las* named Mary, who, despite her father’* prote*tt. became engaged to one John Lawrence, a man of good family, but of no considerable wealth Failing to conciliate the lady’* father, the young people came to Am ricaand were married at Springfield, tlm During much of the latter colo nial period communication wa* but little carried on between the mother country and Xmerica. and the father and daughter never became reconciled. Lord lowmey oiea, ana the family in England became extinct For over 50 years tne estate was in the hands of the English authorities, with no claimant*, and might have remained so up to the pres ent time but for the late war In 1800 James Jacques was a Methodist minister, sta tioned in Illinois; but wnen the war hr ke •iut in the following year he enlisted as a private Promotion in the field soon followed f »r bravery, he being the individual who. un aided, arranged the meeting between Presi dent Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, by means of which he hoped for a settlement of diffi cult! s At the close of the war Col. Ja ques went to Springfield, Massachusetts, to engage in the ministry, and while there accidentally ran across the record of the marriage of John Lawrence and Mary Townley. Being aware of the esta’e in Eng land Awaiting claimants. Col Jaques set about hunting up the heirs. His investiga tion brought him to Oowander, where he in formed Mr. Brown that his wife, who was a daughter of the late Judge Wilders, of Springville, was a direct descendent of Mary Lawrence, and therefore one of the heirs to the vast estate. Mr Brown executed bond* on the estate, raised sufficient money to pros ecute the claim, and sent Col. Jaques to Europe, whither he went after declining the position of Secretary of the Treasury under the Dte President (iarfieid. Soon after his arrival in England the Court of Queen’s Bench decided that the claims of the Ameri can heirs were valid, and since that time Col. Jacques ha* been engaged in com plying with the technicalities of English law. Mr. Brown last week re ceived a letter from Col. Jacques stating that he had given two members of the House of Lords an interest in the estate, for which i they were to procure an act of Parliament directing the transfer of the proceedings of the estate to the Treasury of the United States Col. Jacques is to receive one-third of the estate for his labor*. Sylvester Cow b*s, 1).

Lord Henry Leigh, whose country seat is at Stoneleigh Abbey.

Should the skies be clear, our citizens will have sn opportunity on Monday next to view an eclipse of the tun. Eclipses of the tun j are rare; and more rare by far are total j eclipse*. None ha* occurred on this loca tion, and none will occur daring this century. This eclipse will be central in the north west corner of California, thence across Oregon, Idaho, Montana, crossing the middle of Hudson’s Bay, Davis’ Strait* and Green land, to the Atlantic Ocean. The moon's apDarent diameter being le*§ than the suo s, the eclipse will be annular, showing a bright ring when the centers of the sun and moon are coincident. Thus all the peculiar inci dents of a total eclipse will be wanting. The ring will continue aboat two minutes where it is central. A total eclipse is the most sublime phenomenon vouchsafed to man. The bright glare of sunshine is in an instant transformed into the darkness of night. The pnpil of the eye being at It* •mallest capacity to admit light, the darkness seem* the more intense until it* dilation ena- j bles one to observe object-, and take in the i situation The darknes. i- shout the same as that which we m«v obor>e at anv time in this latitude when the *un is about 45 minutes below the horizon. Many -cars appear and the place of the sun i- distinctly visihle.a very pale ring around the moon, resembling hy drogen gas in the state of ignition, thus show ing the position, but affording the smallest modicum of light. The nunil of the eve bf coming dilated during tile darkness, the ap pearance of broad daylight is coincident with the moment of the sun’s reappearance. A total eclipse will occur on the eighth day of September next, visible on the southern portion of the globe, but nowhere on land ex cepting on the north island of New Zealand. From there it will proceed eastwardly and southerly “o’er the vast expanse of waters," ending twenty degrees south of Cape Horn. The eclipse which is to occur next Monday will here cover a little more than half the sun’s diameter, 56 per cent., and will present the same appearance, very nearly, in Port land, Boston, Mew York, Philadelphia, Washington, Vicksburg. Miss., Austin Tex as, and thence to Chihuahua, in Mexico, and across the Culf of California to the Pacific Ocean. In all places north of that line the obscuration will be greater, and south of that line will be less than here, until it vanishes in Central America. Jamaica and St. Domin go. The eclipse will begin here at 42 min utes, 41 seconds, mean time, P. M. The middle, or greatest obscuration, at two o’clock and two minutes, ending at three o'clock and twenty minutes.

[Haring (’nrreiqiondence of Calais Times.] William Vance put up the first house, built the first mill and manufactured the first lumber in this community, lie was a most peculiar and a remarkable smart man. At one time he was worth 850,000. lie had five w ives, the majority of whom were living at one time. It is said he was invincible in ar gument. and that he could floor the best law yer on the river, lie was once a representa tive to the Legislature from his district, anil while there he had the town of Charlotte named in honor of one of his wives. In those days, and for years afterwards, hears and wolves were numerous and trouble some in the towns immediately above Blu ing. A farmer's hired man left late one night for llaileyville and when about half-way up, a pack of wolves came out of the woods and chased him. He had to climb a tree and remain in it till morning, when the wolves went away. At a more re cent daie, a women from Mohannes. accom panied by her young child, crossed the river at the falls and walked up to Hyan's interval When crossing the interval a bear came out of the woods and fcdlowed them. The mother was so fiightened she left the child and ran for the nearest house. The child kept tod dling along and the hear followed; every time the child stopped, so would hruin also. Two Indiana happened along and shot the hear; then they tried to find the woman to shoot her for abandoning her child. How He Strewe«l the ArIim. One blowing day when the sidewalks were as slippery as glass, a woman stood in front of a door and strewed some ashes, from a pan she held, on the icy walk. As she did so the wind blew Ike coal-dust rather freely oTer her, and a man going past said “If you will turn your back to the wind it will blow the ashes from you instead of over you.” The woman thanked him with her eyes.hut did not move. Indeed, she could not without losing her balance and the a*bes both. “Let me show vou," said the man, kindly, as he removed a fur glove and grasped with a determined grip the well-filled ash-pan. “You can throw them over the walk in this way. and not put your eyes out. It’s as easy as rolling oft a log," and he braced his hack against the wind and gave a generous flop to the ash-pan. The woman went into the house to get the ashes out of her hair and eyes and recover her health. When the police had dusted the man oft and identified him. thev took him home. The only remark he made was “You can't most always tell from what quarter the wind will blow when you attempt to give advice about emptying ar. ash-pan.” Which it is so.— Pttroxt Frtr I'ress.

Hampden was one of those new onnn iahed places which requires the brightest, of sunlight, the greenest frame of quiver- ing leaves to make them at all present able. And in the gray, uncompromising medium of the November dosk,Hampden looked dreary enough, while the dark cnimnev of the new silk mill rising out of the hemlock woods, staring the Queene Anne depot, the church, which bore a strong familv resemblance to a child s wooden toy. and the stone quarry to the left, which reminded the tboughtiul look- i er-on of a gigantic fortification in an un finished state. “Hnraph 1” said Mrs. Nedley as she looked around her. “A queer place Her neice, Phebe, was there to meet her with a box wagon and a white-nosed old horse. ••Folks cao't always choose where they're to live, said Phebe, who was al ways in a state of antagonism to Mrs. Nedley. "and Hampden is good enough for roe.” ••How is Phillip?" asked Mrs. Nedley. “Phillip is well,” said Phebe, as she helped the depot boy to hoist Aunt Ned- j ley’s trunk into the wagon. Phillip Barrow was Mrs.Nedley’s favor ite nephew. She had paid his bills at school, superintended his fortunes, and finally purchased a share for him in the new silk mills. “He's all I’ve got,” said Mrs. Nedley. I except Phebe, and Phebe and I never did hitch horses together. And I want him to succeed in the world.” But within a tew days a new claimantI had arisen to Aunt Nedlev’s protection and tender consideration. “To be sure, she is no relation to me.” said Mrs. Nedley. “But her mother was mv dearest friend,and I think I will adopt her ‘for my sake.’ And it was scarcely an hour from the time in which she learned that Sylvia (Irav was an orphan that she wrote a kind letter to the girl inviting her to come to i the east for a visit. “If you like it, niv dear, there need be no occasion for your going back,” she wrote. "We are both alone. Let us be companions to one another.” She had waited and waited and no re ply had arrived and while 3he waited a plan had developed itself in her mind. “If she is her mother's daughter, she can’t help being pretty,” said Mrs. Ned ley. “Phil is a handsome lad. She shall marry Phil!” And this explains Mrs. Nedley’s pres ence at Hampden. “1 suppose you are still keeping house for Philip?” said Mrs. Nedley, as they drove along in the chill twilight. “No,” said Phebe. skillfully guiding the old horse down a steep place in the road. “He boards, eh?” said Mrs. Nedley. “No, he don’t board,” answered Phebe, “his wife keeps house for him.” "What!” said Mrs. Nedley. “He is married,” announced Phebe, very much in the tone in which she might have said “it is a cold evening,” or, “the train is late.” “Phillip is married repeated the old lady,—"married! Stop, Phebe, don’t drive a step further! Turn around at once. Take me back to the station. I’ll return to Concord.” “Ain’t, you going to see Phillip asked Phebe. “Not if he’s married,” answered Mrs. Nedley. in a choked voice. “He's got a proper nice wife,” pleaded Phebe. “You’ll like her.” “No, I shan’t,” said Mrs. Nedlev. “Phillip—married. Phebe, if you don’t turn around. I'll get out and walk.” Mrs. Nedley’s will was like adamant, and Phebe Barrow was forced to succumb to it. Ami so it happened that Phebe and the while-nosed pony arrived solitary and alone at the little cottage of the mill su perintendent, half an hour laier. Phil came out into the porch, carrying a lamp in his hand. Mrs. Phil ran after him, with a pink apron tied around her trim waist, and her j brown fringe ot hair flowing back from i her forehead. “Where’s my aunt,” said Phil, as Phebe I lumped out. “Didn’t she come “She came,” said Phebe. curtly, “but; she's gone back again.” “(lone back again “Yes. She didn’t like it because youv’e j got married so she’s gone back by the 1 8.06 train.” “Oh, Phil,” cried Mrs. Barrow, who! was a round, cherry-cheeked little worn-1 an, with soft, hazel eyes, and a mouth like j a rosebud. “What shall we do? Why! didn’t you consult her before you married me?” Phil Barrow broke into a great laugh. “My dear.” said he, “it wasn't her consent l wanted, it was yours.” “Oh, but Phil, she has done so much for vou.” ••She a a good soul, but she 8 eccentric.” said the mill superintendent. “Go in, Phebe, and get your tea.” “Pm sure I can’t eat a mouthful, said Mrs. Phil. “And the buscuits I mixed my self and the fried chicken and the White mountain cake—oh, Phil oh Phil!” “Don't fret, dear.” said Phil. ;“my aunt Nedley has missed a very good supper, that I can tell her.” “But 1 have blighted your future," said Mrs Barrow, tragically'seizing the sugar tongs. “We'll go to Concord to-morrow and sec the old ladv," soothed Phil. “She must surrender if she sees you, wifey.” Phebe chuckled grimly. "That's all very well." said she. “but you forget that an old lady and a young man don't look at a girl 'with the same eyes.” "Hold your longue. Phebe,” said the mill superintendent. “Where's the use of always croaking?" And then Mrs. Phil, began to laugh, and Phebe. who,after her crabbed fashion, was fond of her pretty young sister-in law. laughed also; and afier all, the dain ty little supper was eaten and enjoyed, even though Aunt Nedley's face was steadfastly turned toward Concord. Her own fireside had never seemed so solitary and dreary as it did upon that November night. The maids, gossiping in the kitchen, were called upon to re-kindle the dead fire. The tea. smoky and half cold, was served, and Mrs. Nedley was just resolv ing to go to bed when Betsey brought a letter. “Postman,mum, he left it a week ago.” said she. “It had fell down back of the letter box.” “Ah.” said Mrs. Nedley. fitting on her spectacles and scrutinizing the seal and directions, “from Silvia Gray! Now I shall have someone to love in Philip's place.” But she had not read three lines before she flung the letter indignantly on the sulking fire. "Married,” she exclaimed. “That Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, Employed promptly, in case* of Cokla, Coughs, Hoarseness, Sore Throat, Loss of Voice, and Influenza, prevents their becoming serious, and speedily restores to health those who are thus affected.

With the Psalmist of old, she could earnestly have cried: “Vanity, vanity, all is vanity.” “I loved Philip.” she said, “and I had set my heart on Silvia Gray—and such a match as it would have been.” She was sitting at her luncheon the next day. with the cockatoo on one side of her and the poodle on the other, when Betsy opened the door. “Please, ma’am.” said Betsy, “com pany.” “Betsy,” said Mrs. Nedley, severely, “I told you I was not at home to anybody to-day.” “Please, ma'am,” giggled Betsy, “he would come in.” “Who would come in!” said Mrs. Nedley. “It’s me.
