A Man While latoiicntcd Falls into the Hirer and is Drowned. Calais, March 22. The body of Michael Caaey of Waterbury, Conn., aged about 2* was found in the ice near Rideout’a grin mill this morning, The body must hare been in the ice since Monday night, when last seen. Casey was employed as a wearer in the St. Croix cotton mill till Saturday night when he stopped work and was paid in full. Monday evening he was found in a beastly state of intoxication by sereral persons on the grist mill road which is short and leads to the rirer. He was placed on a horse sled and the parties went to procure a horse to carry him home. When they returned Casey could not be found. I hey supposed he had rec jeered somewhat and gone home and left the eieinity thinking nothing more of him. Ten cents in money and sereral letters from his mother, who is a paralytic in the Tewksbury alms house, were found in his pocket. Casey eridently fell ^le platroriu near the mill into the river head foremost, breaking his neck. He will be buried here tomorrow without an inquest. FROM FRYEBLRU. Some New llevelnpement* in the (.rove Robbery lane, Frtkbiiko, March 21. Slight developements have been made in the grave robbery caae. Menatomy Ceme tery is in a secluded spot near the terminus of the road, five miles from this village. A stranger driving a gray horse, attached to a direct shaft sleigh, was observed to pass this place on the day previous and turning at the school house, a few rods below, returned very slowly, for sleighs in this region must have shifting shafts else they will cut the road badly. The team drove awav toward Brighton. The party which desecrated the grave consisted of four persons with a span of horses and the foot prints of all were eatilv traced in the snow which fell the night of the affair.. This is the third case ot body snatch ing in the same locality in forty years and the citizens are greatly se t- d. A Hospital Patient Turns 1 hiel. Portland, March 22. Geo. Davis, a patient under treatment at the Maine General Hospital, left the institu tion suddenly Saturday afternoon, taking with him a pocket hook of a patient contain ing about $450 in money and notes, a watch and chain, a valuable cane ami several arti cles of clothing, the property of various pa tients. There is no trace of Davis' wherea bouts. Instantly Killed. Portland. March 21. Patrick McFarland, aged 22 years, mar ried, was caught in an elevator at the mill in Sacarappa, Saturday morning and instantly killed. GKN. GRANT’S CONDITION.

Douglass and Shrady, and it was generally considered that the patient's throat looked much better. There has been no pain I or sensation of uneasiness about the throat I for a week. He took some food but has no appetite, and I onlv eats as a necessity. When Dr. Doug 1 lass called to see the General tonight, he found the patient down in the parlor. He immediately walkid up stairs to his room and said he felt'verv tired. As there has been a great niaiiv visitors to see him during the day. he retired shortly after 10. and Dr. Douglass thinks he fell into a refreshing slumber. The General is very anxious that the weathir should moderate, so ho can take tome out-door exercise in Ins carriage. TilK PAUK TKIAI Point' ot l*nw Argued Before the Court Saturday* Ritlawd. Vt.

FROM WASHINGTON. Ratification of Treaties— Secretary ol the Treasnry Declines to Pay for the stor age ol the Puritan—Petition Presented to the President—The Dolphin Com pleted but not Accepted—Indictment* —Consultation in Regards to Station* ing Ameiican Vessel* at Central Amer ican Ports—Probable Adjournment of the Senate. Washisgtoii, March 21. The Senate committee on rules, to which was referred the question of order raised by Senator Frye, of Maine.as to the operating of clause 3. rule 36, reported in the executive session today, that it extend* the injunction of secrecy to each step in the consideration of treaties, including the back of the ratifica tion that no modification of this clause of the rules ought to be made; that secrecy as to the fact of the ratification of the treaty may be of the utmost importance, and ought not to be removed, except by order of the Senate, or until it has been made public by proclamation of the Executive. The report was adopted, and the injunction of secrecy removed therefrom. The secretary of the navy has declined to approve of the requisition to pay for the storage of the Puritsu in John Roach's ship yard from July, 1876, to December, 1882, until he shall have had time to examine the contract. The amount involved is $*13,201. A petition was presented to the President today which recited that the petitioners, loyal members of the democratic party, who, as such, gave their “cordial support to the election of President Cleveland, give no qualified endorsement to the appointment of Eugene Higgins as appointment clerk of tlte treasury department, a* a man of honor and integrity and one in every way competent to discharge the duties of the place assiged to him. We claim, as democrats, our right to say to the demoo retie president and his ad visors that no partisan or fraternal abuse should have anv weight whatever ,in affect ing the tenure of office of a competent and deserving member of a party. The petition is signed by a number of Baltimore munici pal officers, including the mayor, register, deputy register, comptroller, depute comp troller, and librarian.and by Robert Baldwin, Jas.Sloan Jr., finance commissioners, and many firms and citizens. Secretary Whitney has written the follow in* letter to John Roach, in reply to a com munication from the latter announcing the completion of the dispatch boat Dolphin: Sir:—1 have the honor to acknowledge the receipt ot your letter f March 19th, in forming me that the United States steamer Dolphinhas been compu ted in all respects, in accordance with the specifications and the certificates from the inspectors of hull and machinery hive been forwarded to the naval advisory board to that effect, and that you are prepared now to deliver the vessel in accordance with the contract, and request me to give instructions to the commandant of the yard directing him to receive the vessel. 1 have looked over the papers presented by the advisory board, and find that the vessel did not, upon her trial trip recently, show 2300 collective indicated horse power, devel oped l y her engines and maintained succes sively for six consecutive hours, as con templated by the contract. It is however, provided by the contract that notwithstand ing this failure, the vessel shall be accepted “it it can be showd to the satisfaction of the naval advisoey board and secretary of the navy that this failure was due neither to de fer»i«o» workmanship nor materials. The bouid i a »t Or .o Hi i ihe dt flcit-i cy of loo indicative horse power re quired was not due to defective workman ship nor materials, but that with better coal and a wi ll trained engineer the force of this result w ill be exceeded. 1 would suggest anotlo r trial be had under such conditions as shall he prescribe d by the department for the purpose, demonstrating that this supposition is correct in this and other regards. I am now looking somewhat into the matter before ex» rt Ding to grave a responsibility as ac cepting the vessel. I desire a statement from you ot the full amount you claim upon the Dolphin up to date. Very respectfully, N. U. Whitney, Sec’y of the Navy. Attorney General Garland today issued an order reducing the force of examiners in the department of justice from seven to tour. The grand jury today returned additional indictments against Win. 11. Dempsey arid Daniel Corrigan, and J. W. Drew and Dan iel ('orrigan, for presenting false vouchers in what are known as the navy voucher fraud cases. Secretary Whitney had extended an invita tation to a consultation this afternoon with the secretary of state, regarding the disposi tion of the naval vessels at Central American ports to watch over the interests of this country in the threatened movements of Pres ident Rubin Barrios, of Guatemala. The secretary declined to state he result of the interview. It is probable that the Senate will adjourn before the end of the present week, and pos sible it may do so by Tuesday or Wednesday night. The body meet# at 10 o’clock to morrow forenoon. Its sessions from this time till the final adjournment are likely to be in secret. A considerable number of Dominations are expected tomorrow, and Tuesday the time not consumed in their con sideration will be spent on minor treaties. It is understood that it was decided tonight at a conference between the President and Post-master General Viles, that Mr. Hay, recently appointed first assistant postmaster general, should qualify as such before leav ing for Florida, where he intends going for health eariv this week This course will he followed in order that Mr Hay may he en abled to appoint some democrat to act for him during his absence, instead of leaving the ousiness of his office i i the hands of the first assistant post master general. Mr. Cros by. Meeting of Sew %'ork Irishmen. Nkw Vork. March 22 At meeting of delegates from the Irish revolutionary circles in this eitv and Brook lyn held at Sturdevant Hall to make ar rangements for a public demonstration at t'hickerir.g Ilali next Sunday evening, a tel egram trom United States Senator Riddle berger was read accepting the invitation to attend the proposed meeting and speak on the question of the right of the Irish people in the United States to a*sist hy every means their brothers at home, tin of the delegates announced at the meeting “that the use of Tammany Hall was refuse i to the commit tee bei-*u«e of Senator Riddlc-berger's inten tion to be present and speak, the fear evi dently being that Secretary Bayard might not like it." The announcement was received with hisses. Fatal Bailer Explosion. Pisa Bluff, Ark March 21. This morning the boiler of a saw mill fire miles from town, belonging to Ed Montgom ery. exploded, fatally wounding the owner and killing 8. C. Morris, the engineer. Amos Ewen had a leg broken and several mill bands were severely scalded. HOTEL BCR* ED. A Huber of Errsoa. Killed—bone.Har row E»cape*—Loss Henry. Chicago. March 21: At 8 o'cluck this evening fourteen fire engines were pouring water into Langtiam Hotel, which was a toast ot flatues from the basement to the garrett. The fire originates] in one of the lower rooms from a kerosene lamp, which waa accidentally overturned. At the time, the restaurant of the houae con tained one hundred guesta at supper, and a« many more in their room# The persons in the restaurant had no trouble getting ont, but several of those in the upper rooms very nar rowly escaped. Mrs. Belknap, an elderly lady, was killed by jumping from the fourth story into an alley. Subsequently, the cry was raised that the walls were falling. At that time a number ot fire insurance patrol men were in the building. A portion of the south wall was seen to totter and then it came down with a crash. Six patrolmen and two truckmen have since b.en taken out, some horribly mangled. As toon at it was discovered that no prop erty in the hotel could be saved, the Bull Wrinkles fire insurance patrol hastened to prevt nt damage to property in the adjoining building on the south side. Bnll Wrinkle himself and six of his men ente red Bull Wrinkle came out shortly after, and was hardly on the street when the south wall ot the hotel fell, taking that of the adjoining building with it Two of the petrolmen in-tde escaped but the others failed to appear from the ruins. After great labor the firemen suc ceeded in reaching and rescuing two of the patrolmen who were pinioned fast under bricks and timbers. I hc-e were Capt. Shep herd and I). Mullen. They were badlv bruised about the legs, but otherwise unin- i jured. Patrolmen A Jones and John Walsh are missing. It is supposed that they arc suffocated or buried beneath the tons ot debris which fell. A very daring act w as performed by Officer Marks. Two domestic# appeared panic j stricken at tin* window on the second floor Mark* ru*hed int• the* budding and shortly appeared, carrying both women, who were so nearly suffocated that it whs mcessaryto place them under a doctor’s cart*. All the time an immense volume of water was being poured into the building, but seemed to have no effect on the flame#. Every window frame in front wa* a casement of fire, and the flames bursting through the root lit up that part of the city. By the concentrated operations of three or lour fire companies, the adjoining buildings were kept from being ignited, hut the damage to the one on tin south is expensive, owing to the tailing of the wall. The hotel building occupied a lot a quarter of a block in size on the southwestern corner of Wabash avunue and Adams street, pur chased last May bv Cummings Howard, and leased to Shaw Son. The latter had just expended about $10,000 in repairs and improvements, which had not been complet ed. Their total loss on improvement# and furniture \n about $.V>,000; insurance, $12, 000 Chicago, March 22 I he two patrolmen supposed to have been killed bv the filling wall of the Langhnm Hotel, were taken out alive after four hours' imprisonment. They will probably survive their injuries. The l angham House, a five story family hotel, burned la«*t night; loss $.350,000; in surance $200,000. A woman was killed by jumping and several firemen were injured bv 1 tailing wa’l. I tic lire which destroyed the Langham Hotel last night proved more serious than at first supposed. It is now known that at least five persons were killed and four in jured. Just before the south wall of the hotel fell upon the Faxon building, a number of per sons besides those of the fire insurance patrol were inside the latter building, assisting to save goods, as no immed.ate danger was an- prehended. There is no means of knowing ju«t how many of these volunteer helpers there were in the building at the time, but! the excavators have proceeded to an extent which justifies the hope that all the dead have been f Mind. As far as kno n those at work in the Faxon building when it was crushed bv the falling hotel wall, were the following: f’apt. Edward Shepherd. Jas Boyd. Knute I Thime, Patrick Mullins. John Walsh. Fred erick Jones, all of the fire insurance patrol; Wm. Bean, a piano tuner, and Jno. Hennc ssy, a clerk, both employed in the building Mullins and Thime, being near the rear of the building, were forced out through one of the windows bv the rush of air as the wall fell, and are not dangerously hurt. Capt Shephard and Boyd were pinned down by fallen timbers and were rescued alive about midnight. Both are seriously hurt but it is believed they will recover. Walsh and Jones were taken out about 1 o’clock this morning, both crushed to death. Bean was alive when found and was taken to the county hospital, where he died at 5 o’clock this morning. The body of Hen nessey was recovered at 6 o’clock tonight. Soon after the walls fell the wreJO Religious l)emoa*trntiOD. Pottsviixe, Pa., March 22.

The Italian transport Citta dt Napoli, is preparing to embark tronps for Massawah. The fourth Italian flotilla for the Bed Sea, which is about starting, consists of five of the best torpedo boats in flic Italian navy. Stakih, March 22 While detachments of the English and In- j dian infantry were milking Zarcbeh, seven i miles southwest of Suakim today, they were j suddenly surprised bv 8 rush of Arabs, who had been concealed in the defiles west of llashen. Tile English formed a square as quickly as possible, hut camels, mules and hor es were driven hack in confusion on the troops, causing a stampede, and amid the clouds of dust the Arabs penetrated the south mid north side* of the square. .Meanw hile the marines and Berkshire regiment, who were on the east and wt st sides nt the square, maintained a continuous tire, holding the enemy at bay, while the charge of the eav alrv and fire from the guns at llashen, checked the onslaught of the Arabs, which at the outset threatened serious disaster to the British. (ien. Graham report* that the Knglish losses as tar as known are two officers and 2*2 men killed and 33 men wounded. The losses of the engineers, transport corps and Indian troops have not been reported The unofficial estimate place* the British killed at 52. and the wounded at 85. Nearly all the casualties were due to spear thrusts received iu the hand-to-hand engagement*. The Arabs got between the transport train and Zereba. and speared the men of the transport corps and killed the animals. They fought savagely, refusing to give or take quarter. (ien. McNeil, commanding the Zeraba troops, said there were several thousand reb els in the fight, and that 1000 were killed or] wounded. Gen. McNeil is blamed for not 1 taking precautions against the surprise. The enemy bagan the attack at 8 this fore- noon. They were repulsed and the ground was cleared hv four. Guard* and artillery were sent to reinforce the troops who were i attacked. The whole Briti*h force remained on the field during the night. ('arud* and mules were hamstrung by the Arabs. Score* »f camp followers were cut up. The Arabs scattered about in the whole vicinity, inter cepting the native fugitives. Hie appearance and yell* of the Arab* were so sudden that tin* whole assemblage of transport animals mixed with natives became so panic strieked and surged on the Zaretia. making resistance hopeless. The scene was indiscribable The Arabs glided and crept in all direc tions among the animals. Hundreds swarmed from the bush like magic and attacked the Zereba fiercely on all sides. The Houdaneze coolies were mistaken for enemies and many were killed hv friends. The Berkshire reg intent and the marines stood firm and cool and fired volley after volley into the ranks of the enemy. The naval brigade which was insirle of the Zardia iho poured hot fire. The Indian troops held their own gallantly as soon as they were able to close the square again, eventually being unable to stand the rattling fire. The enemy disappeared as they came. Gen. McNeil drew in all his forces and stood to arms. The Hussars brought 1 in the wounded, though menaced by the Arab j camel forces, which watched their move- ments vigilantly. The desert is dotted in I every direction with runaway animals. The enemy’s loss must be heavy. The camp at Suakim wa* prepared for the renewal of the attack, but was unmolested. Kokti. March 22.

The judicious cut ting of a forest in a climate like that ot the Atlantic or Faoifie coast regions entails no serious or permanent loss A crop ready for the harvest is gathered for the benefit of the community trees which have reached their prime are cut instead ef allowed to perish naturally, and others lake their place. In this wav the perma aenre ol the forests on lands better adapt 1 to the growth of trees than to agricul ture may be insured In regard to the protection ol forests in the State of Maine the census reports: The reckless disregard -f forest proper ty which characterized the early lumber ing operations ot the Slate has been re placed by sensible methods for preserving and perpetuating the lorest« l‘hi« change in public sentiment in regard to the forests h*« followed naiurallv the exhaustion of the forest wtvi th of the Slate As this disappearedtpe imporlam'e of preserving Some part, at least, of the tree covering, the source of the Spate's greatest prosper ity. forced itself upon public attention: for unless the forest could be perpetuated, the State must lose forever all industrial and commercial importance. It has fol lowed that the forests of Maine in com parisou with those in other parts of the •ountrv are now managed sensibly ami economically. They are protected from ire principally through the force of pub lic sentiment, and only trees above a •or ain sixe are allowed to be cut by log gers buying stum page troni owners of land In the southern eountios the young pine now springing up freely on aban doned farming lands is carefullv pro tected. and large areas are planted with pine in regions where the natural growth has not covered the soil. The coniferous forests, under the present management, may be cut over once in every fifteen or I twenty years, producing at each catting a S crop of logs equivalent to 1000 feet of 1 lumber to the acre, ot which from five to seven per cent, is pine, the rest spruoe. Though the census thus reports the im provement made by our people in pro tecting their forests and promoting the growth of timber and wood, there is still room for advancement in the direction pointed out Forest fires are still too fre quent, and much cleared land that is near ly worthless ior pasture or cultivation might be devoted to the raising of forest growth that would soon be a source of profit to the owners.

W a ah i rotor. I). C., March 1ft. 18A5. Editor Kennekei Journal: Cold, unpleaaant weather ia the order of the day at the capital, preaaging a backward apring and conaiderable fear on the part of the farmera The peach-crop prognoaticatora anticipate, aa uaual, a failure of that luxury, and the winter wheat killer ia around in all hia glory. But apring managea generally to get in her work pretty nearly on time, and we can afford to wait yet awhile. It ia a fact, however, that the paat winter haa been an unuaually aevere one in the Middle and Southern Statea—the fartheat point even,Key Weal, having felt aome of ita cold anapa. It ia a wonder that the orange crop of Florida haa not been affected; but, on the contrary, it would eeem that it haa been unuaually abundant and aatiafactory. Never in the hiatory of the State have ao many orangea been ahipped And the aurceaa of the crop ia indurinc very many more people from the North than heretofore to emigrate to that State and undertake orange culture. It will not be very long, at thia rate, before Florida will have aa large a “Yankee" aa Southern population. And, politically apeaking, the State for thia reaaon ia already nearly evenly divided. The political weather in Washington, for office-seekers, seems to be cold, backward and unpromising. The planting,—or rather the seed for planting, is undoubtedly plenteous, but the crop—the early crop at least—prom ises to be small. The President seems to pass by the seeds that have “sprouts" (t. e. petitions) and culls his early plants from the bottom of the heap. This causes a great deal of surprise, consternation and mortification among the seeds—especially the older ones. Many ask, “What will the har vest be?” One thing is certain already there will he harvested much vexation, disappoint ment. and many bushels of expletives which it would he unwise to mention in detail. It really begins to look as if the President was really in earnest, generally speaking, in bis intentions and efforts as to civil service reform and if so, he will find none more ready than his late political opponents to sec ond his endeavors A sound and sincere reform of this kind if engrafted upon the laws and practices of this country and accepted in good faith bv all con tending political forces, and sustained by conscientious and right minded men every where. would he a happy and auspicious era in the history of our nation, and would go very far in softening the hard p ditical con tests. ami weakening the many unjust and cruel personal ami extreme partizan attacks s which are now a part of such contests There is one seeming blot, on this new he-' ginning; which, however, cannot directly be laid at tin* Presid nt's door This is the ap poinment of Kugene Higgins ms appointment; clerk of the treasury department. Judging from the Baltimore pap rs of either political) opinions, the appointment socially, morally, politically and reformatorily (to coin a word) is not fit to he m ide. Kitlier Secretary Man ning has been de idedly imposed upon or j else has some ideas diametrically opposed to the new aduiinistrati >n system, it general opinion goes for anything And it brings out a very hitter quarrel in the State of Maryland and places the new a- tuary of the I Treasury in a rather unpleasant and uncer- tain position. What the outcome will he, time alone rail determine. The new Secretary of War, although not much heard from, seems to grow in populari- ty am >ng those who become acquainted with I him Of an old Massachusetts family, he j brings with him the dignity, courtesy and i honestv which one would quite generally ex- pect from such a source He i« in hearty ac cord with the new departure” of the Presi dent. and will, I am assured, carrv out to the letter the principles of a true civil service reform.

Political in fluence lias had but very little bearing for manv years on the workings of this branch of government, and merit and efficiency almost altogether have governed its action. The late action of Barrios in Central J America ha« cause I much diplomatic com-j went anti in all political circles has aroused a stronger feeling anti sentiment relative fo our relations toward American Repub lics and regarding the Monroe doc trine. Senator Kdmunds' resolution, and Sc. rotary Bayard s correspondence, although dirt ring materially a* to strength, are be lieved to accord generally, and it is hoped, may j »intly produce more decided and posi live action in this direction.

1 Fvrtinate Mistake. I _______ It was on the evening of the 2d of Mav, in 185—, that I went to hear the Russian Princess Strainervoyce. who at that time attracted the fashionable world to her con certs. I went to hear the princess partly to kill time and partly from a desire to see and hear for myself the marvelous foreigner whose name was in everybody s mouth. When I reached her majesty's concert room it was crowded to its utmost capacity. It was so closely wedged that one could have studied anatomv. alter a fashion, merely from the iropres-ion of oie's neighbor's bones. At the close if. the concert I was borne along with the crowd, and jammed ihrough the doorway at the risk of breaking every rib in my j bodv. Ere I could escape Irom the throng, and while I was shrugging ray shoulders j to assure myself that my collar-bone was in its proper position, 1 felt a band clasp ing mv arm, and a musical voice ex- claimed: “You good for nothing! I thought I had lost you! What a frigntlul crush! j 1 do believe mv arm is broken, and my dress ruined, and all lor the sake of hear- j ing this Strainervoyce!” i I was on the point of replying that I i agreed with her, but restrained myself, j laughing inwardly at the novel position in 'which I was placed and wondering who mv fair companion could be. Evi- j dently she mistook me for her brother, or. i possiblv. her husband, judging from the familiarity ot her manner, for sue added, j in a sympa'hizing tone: “Forgive me, Ralph—your poor head! I am sorry I made you come.” “Pardon me, madame,” said I; “but _M “Oh, nonsense, Ralph she interrupted me. “You nave become half barbarian since you went to the Crimea, to permit me to seat myself,while you stand there as if 1 were your wife, and you ten years mar ried, instead of your sister, whose ready as-istant and attendant—in place of a bet ter—you should be.” “Excuse me.” said I. “but—” “Ralph, I shall catch my death ot cold standing here, such a long ride, too.” Here the ladv gave a peculiar shiver. “Do jump in and sit down, or 1 will—” What she would have done 1 did not wait to hear; but, taking my place beside her in the brougham, we were driven off, whither 1 knew not where “1 won't ask you to talk to me, with that headache, but i want you to listen to rne,” began my companion, 1 lie moment we started. “1 wanted to talk to you coming in. but that little chatterbox, Mag gie, prevented me from saying a word to you. You remember poor little Lucy Walters. Ralph Her mother died about two months ago, and the poor girl has gone to live with the Deans. Mr. and Mrs. Dean have been very kind to her, but it is impossible for them to more than shelter her. How anyone can have the heart to wound Lucy's feelings is a mvs tery to me. and yet every occasion that present* itself is seized upon by the Wares and Kings to insult her, even commenting upon the poor girl’s father’s actions, as if she could have prevented that which occurred twenty years ago. and I have seen Sarah Ware imitating her walk, regardless of poor Lucy’s tears, I could not restrain an exclamation of disgust as 1 listened to this. "I knew it would disgust you, Ralph.” continued my companion. “Well, the doctor says now. that Lucy will always be j lame—there can nothing be done for her. I have been thinking ever since her raoth i er died, that it she had a good teacher she might not only in time lie independent, i but achieve a name as an artist. You j should see some of her attempts. She is a genius, Ralph. Rut that would require money, and where is the money to come from? You know I haven't much, Ralph but 1 have determined to do something for our old play mate. I can save out of my allowance at least thirty pounds, and now if you will double it, what will that not do fir Lucy? 1 was counting it up. the i other div. and if I i n villona her to attend in design, and i >i• i in aa lui- a year; and 0 the end i.f ihul time, if Lucy is alive, sho will show the world what a woman can do. When I look at that poor girl, with her rare mind and her craving lor knowledge, I cannot help thinking how superior she is to me—a mere Idler: and 1 sometimes think that if she had ray place and I hers, there would be more justice in the distribution of the world’s goods and comforts. Don't say I'm silly and senti mental, Ralph. I know you will give your share toward the sum. like a good brother, as you are. I have been talking to her about if, and 1 know I can manage it so as to overrule any scruples she may have against receiving anything Irom us.’- Here my companion became quiet, and the question presented itself to my mind. “How am I to escape from this awkward position, honorably Here I have been guilty of listening to a communication in tended for the ear of another—have been guilty of an inexcusable deception prac ticed upon a stranger and a lady, know ingly. Perhaps the honest way would be to acquaint her at one with the mistake, and solicit her pardon." 1 had at last summoned sufficient cour age to clear my throat, and was about to commence mv well-studied speech, when my companion gave a little laugh as she said ••Really. Ralph, you are verv entertain ing in your own peculiar way,'but if you are as dumb when in the presence of Miss Vernon as you have been to-night she is to be pitied rather than envied. You are little better tban a barbarian But here we are at uncle's, and you know I prom ised to stop with Carrie to night, so you will have no one to bother you the re mainder of the road. How singular you do act to-night, Ralph 1 Well, I won’t tease you any more.” Suddenly the driver drew up before an elegant residence, and imagining I per ceived a loop-hole whereby I might es cape from my awkward predieament. I -prang out of the brougham and assisted the lady to alight. “Is vour head still aching. Ralph Good night! Why. you forgot to kiss me As the fair face was upturned to mine, w th its tempting lips awaiting the kiss, pressed my shawl down from my rooath suddenly, and as suddenly felt mv head drawn down to rereive the most delirious kiss that was ever bestowed by maiden. on need not wait; the di>or is open and there stands Carrie, bless her"’ said my companion, as she tripped up the steps while i stoood irresolutely beside the brougham. "Then, my dear fellew,’ I mentally ejaculated, "it is time you were off.” And seating myself in the brougham cnce more, 1 was again driven off. but whither 1 knew not. 1 only knew that I had lost a charming companion, whose lips a mo ment since were pressed sgainst my own, and whom, in all probability, I might never meet again. And when 1 recalled the generoas offer, her sympathy for the Good health depends largely on the condition of the liver. This organ is easily affected because of its sluggish circulation. When It becomes disordered, stagnant blood accumulates in its venous system, causing it to discharge inert or bad bile. Many forms of disease result from its imperfect action, which deranges all the digestive and assimilative organs, aud, through these, impairs almost every function of mind and body. There is no Better way to insure the proper action of all the apparatus necessary to health, than to aid the stomach and liver by the occasional use of Ayer’s Pills. E. A. Robiuson. lot School st., Lowell, Mass., says: “For a number of years I was stationed in the tropics; and, while there, suffered much from torpidity of the liver and indigestion. Headaches and nausea disabled m> for days at a time, and it was only by the use of Ayer's Pills that I obtained relief. 1 know them to be the Best Cathartic Pills. They stimulate the appe tite, assist digestion, and leave the bowels in a natural condition." John H. Watson, proprietor University Hotel, Chapel Hill, X. C., writes: “For-twenty years I was a sufferer with sick headache. I began taking Ayer’s Pills, and quieklv found relief. I have not had an attack of head ache for years, and attribute my freedom from it to the use of Ayer’s Pills.” Jared Agnew, LaCros.se, Wis„ writes: “I was cured of a grievous attack of Erysipelas by using Appetite renders the partaking of needful bodily sustenance a matter of pleasure. When ever the appetite tails, you may be sure the stomach and liver have become de ranged, and need to be corrected by the use of Ayer’s Pills. C. Danlv, Belton. Texas, writes: I have taken Ayer’s Pills for various affections arising from de rangements of the liver and digestive organs, and fiud them to be a powerful corrective.” If your Health is impaired a good cathartic medicine may aid you. Miss M. Boyle, Wilkesbarre, Pa., writes: “I use no other medicine than Ayer’s Pills. They are all that any one needs.’’ Dr. IV. J. Talbot. Sacramento, Cal., WTites: “The curative virtues of Ayer’s Pills commend them to all judi cious practitioners.” Dr. Charles Alberts. Horicon, Wis., writes: Last year I pro cured from you the formula of Ayer’s Pills, and have since prescribed them with decided benefit.” No poisonous drugs are Found in the composition of Ayer's Pills. Dr. A. A. Hayes, state Assayer, Boston, Mass., certifies: I have made a careful analysis of Ayer’s Pills, with the formula of their preparation. They contain the active principles of well known drugs, isolated from inert matter, which plan is. chemically speaking, of great importance to their usefulness.

I think the re semblance must have struck him at the same time. for. as we were passing each other, we involuntarily paused, scanning each other closely and curiously, and then strode on. "Mr. Ralph.” I said to my self as I turned to look at him. Singular ly enough, Mr. Ralph was at that moment looking at me; but the instant he was de tected he wheeled around and resumed his walk. Ere I reached ray chambers I resolved to ascertain, it it was possible, who the person was who dwelt in the large house on the common, and who had arrived Irons the Crimea so recently, that I might assure myself to whom I was in debted for a delicious kiss, and whose ac quaintance 1 was very desirous ol making, Early upon the lollowing morning.
