Ba deau and Parson Newman. Gen. Badeau was the first to arrive. He was admitted and pro ceeded at once to Gen. Grant's room. A horse at full gallop dragged the coupe of Dr. Shrady up to the door at 4 44 A. M. A few minutes later, Dr. Sands arrived, bearing a case of instruments, although it is learned that no surgical operation was neces sary. U. S Grant, Jr., and Senator Chaffee reached the house about five minutes past five. Dr. Sands was the first to emerge and he strolled leisurely towards Fifth Avenue. In answer to inquiries he said, "wait for the bulletin.” l)r. Shrady. in response to questions, said that Dr. Douglass was quietly sitting by Gen. Grant, when the latter suddenly had a slight hemmorrhage from the throat. Dr. Douglass took such measures as were necessary, and sent for Drs. Sands and Shrady. The Gen eral said, “there is no use sending for the other doctors, you are enough." Gen. Grant spit about two ounces of blood and then wiped the traces from his face with his hand, and appeared calm and collected. The following note was dispatched to each of the physicians, Sands and Shrady "Dr Douglass wants you immediately." (Signed) F'rkd I). Grant. Bulletin. 4.55 A. M —Gen. Grant slept well until 4 A. M.. when he awoke and took his nourish ment. Immediately after, in a paroxysm of coughing, he had a slight hemorrhage, which ceastd spontaneously in a few minutes. Drs. Sands and Shrady were sent for, and found the General as quiet as usual, having had no renewal of hemorrhage (Signed) J. H. Douglass. G. F. Shradt. 6 A. M —The General had a slight hemor rhage about 4 o’clock, and Dr. Douglass, who was on the night watch, became alarmed and called the family, and Drs. Shrady and Sands were sent for. When the physicians arrived, the bleeding was under control. No immediate reoccurrence ot the hemorrhage is anticipated. He has been given an injec tion of morphene and is now sleeping. Bulletin. 8.30 A. M —Gen. Grant is quietly sleeping. The hemorrhage remains arrested. It has made no marked impression on the patient. (Signed) J. H. Douglass. G. F. Shradt. 9.30 A.M.—Gen. Grant has just awakened. His pulse is the same. There has been no return of the hemorrhage. Senator Chaffee left the hou«e at 6.15. He said “He had an injection of morphene at 6 A. M., and I think he will live through the day. He lost a tea-cup full of blood. He was so much collected that he directed those attending him to hold the vessel so that no blood would reach the floor." Dr. Newman arrived about 5.45, and I)r Shrady at 7 o'clock, said that the General was sleeping, and that he was doing as well as could he expected under the circumstances. He also stated that Dr. Douglass was taking much needed rest. IjCLLItTf N. 11 A. M.—Gen. Grant's condition remains! unchanged. He has taken his food without j pain. His pulse is still steady and reasonably firm. There is no more hemorrhage and his mouth is clear. He replies to questions and gives evidence of the same uncomplaining firmness which has characterized him durin g his entire sickness. (Signed) G. F. Shradt. The hemorrhage, this morning, in the Gen eral's throat was arterial and not venous blood. The General seems not at all alarmed and the family was not very greatly frighten-1 ed. The hemorrhage was due somewhat to the increase of the disease, and was induced bv a momentary fit of coughing. The prob abilities are that he may survive the day. At the time of the hemorrhage, Gen. Grant was perfectly conscious, and knew well what was going on about him. The doctors say another hemorrhage is liable to occur at any moment. The General prepared himself to die last Thursday. At 11.45. the clergyman called at Grant's house. He did not see the General. At 12.45. it was said the General was stead ily sinking Ex-Senator Chaflee returned to the house about 1 P. M. Bclletih. 6 P. M.—Gen. Grant has been sleeping quietly since the last record. He has jus: awakened and taken food and stimulants His pulse is 76; volume fair; temperature orrhage. 101. There has been no reoccurrence of hem Drs. Barker. Douglass, Shrady and Sands j were in consultation between 2 and 3 o'clock. When Dr. Barker left the house, he said the i General was considerably weaker and that he took food under protest. He was liable at anv moment to hare a reoccurrence of hem orrhage. Dr. Shrady arrived at Grant’s house at 6 15 He had with him many instruments, which were brought as a precaution against bleeding in the night. At 7 o’clock. Dr. Douglass said the end was near. He gave the impression that it might be possible to prolong life until morn ing, but an effort to protract life by artificial means, was hardly desirable, and beside that the General wished to die At 9 P. M Dr. Shrady said he was pre pared for all emergencies. It should nut be supposed that Dr. Sands had come to perform any operation. If any hemorrhage took place, Dr. Shrady was quite prepared to stop it. Dr. Newman, at the request of Gen.Grant, was sent for about 3 P. M. The clergyman remained with the patient until 7 o’clock During his visit. Col. Grant and Dr. Doug lass were in the room. The sick man seemed to have sent for the minister, in order to talk of the change that he felt was near. Dr. Newman had spoken of the friendly feeling of the people at large, and the great number of friends the Genetal had; “and I have a great many on the other side, too.” replied Grant. “Yes. that it is true, and they are waiting for you. General, they are waiting tor you.” Oh!yes, and 1 wish they would come,” replied Gen, Grant, and Dr. Newman said he never, in his life, saw such an expression of peaceful satisfaction, as that of the General's as he uttered these words. Bulletin. 10.30 P. M.—Gen. Grant continues in a comfortable condition. He has slept well and his pulse is f<4 There is no appearance of hemorrhage He has just taken nourish ment u ithout pain.

Work in the Second Auditor’s Office— The Pension Office—Meeting ol the MHiiagers ot National Soldiers’ Homes Winnebago Reservation—The Public Iteceptiou Postponed. Washington, April 7. Secretary Manning recently called on the second auditor for information respecting the condition of the work of the latter's bureau. Judge Ferris in reply, said that soon alter the war the number ot clerks in the second audi tor's office was nearly 500, but in 1880 the number had been cut down to 135, since which time the work had been accumulating until now there were over 45,000 unsettled claims. Although the number of clerks had now been Increased to 185. the claims could not be disposed ot as fast as they came in. Acting Secretary Fairchild today appointed A. T. Huntington, Chas. L. Caron and M. I,. Mullman, a commission to examine into the manner ot settling the accounts of pension agents in the office of the third auditor of the treasury, and to report whether any and what improvements can be made in order to secure a more prompt settlement of such accounts. The board of managers of national homes for disabled volunteer soldiers, held its annual meeting in this city today and elected officers as follows President—W. B Franklin. Fiist Vice President—I,. A. Harris. Second Vice President—John A. Martin. Secretary—M. McMahon. Col. A J. Smith was elected governor of the new home at Leavenworth. Maj. W. B. Shockley was elected secretary and treasurer. A delegation of citizens of Dakota today called on President Cleveland in reference to j the Winnebago reservation matter. They maintained the perfect legality of President Arthur's order opening the reservation to sattlement It was stated that several thous and settlers, many of them from the eastern States, had gone into the reservation in abso lutely good faith, and begun improvement's on their selections. Cnder the circumstances their ejection would involve great hardships and distress to many worthy persons. The President listened attentively to their repre sentations, and informed the delegation that the settlers’ interests will be eared for, and no further proceedings tsken by the govern ment until a most thorough investigation of the whole subject has been made. He then referred the delegation to Secretary Lamar, whom he had requested to personally hear their statements. This afternoon the dele gation called on Lamar and stated the case. The Secretary did not indicate what action he would takp. The public reception which was to have been held at the White House this evening, was indefinitely postponed about three hours before the time at Which it was to have com menced. All preparations for the affair had been mane. The house had been decorated and the music stand for the Marine Band had beed erected, but at 6 o’clock a despatch was received from New York announcing that Gen. Grant was delirious and sinking fist, and an order for an indefinite postponment was immediately issned. A LIVING GRAVE. Ten Men Imprisoned in a Pennsylvania Coal Mine— Four Hundred Feel ol Earth Above Them. Shevaxpoah. P«., April 7. The cave-in at Cuvier colliery at Raven Run is even more serious than at first report ed. Exploring parties who have attempted to enter the mine, report it a complete wreck, and all hope of rescuing the imprisoned min ers alive has been abandoned. The slope is 700 feet deep and is divided into four lift*. The ten men now in the mine were down in the lower lift and the place is closed to the bottom of the first lift, 400 feet above There were three openings to the mine, an air hole and two slopes, and all three are closed below the first lift The damaged condition of the mine not only prevents rescuing parties from doing any work, but forbids even a thorough examination of the workings. The concus sion caused by the fall was so greatfthat the mine cars at the foot of the first lif< were forced up the slope a distance of 50 feet. Miners who are acquainted with the workings declare it not only impossible to rescue the men alive but is doubtful even if their bodies can fee recovered. It is their judgment also that the colliery is a complete wreck A partial abatement of the excitement at the Seene river disaster todav makes it possi ble to determine a more accurate result and extent of the cave-in. The ten imprisoned miner* must now be dead, although no effort has been spared in their behalf. The dam- 1 age to the colliery is not quite a* great as at first reported, although it is doubtful whether it will ever be re-opened. It may take months j to recover the bodies of the victims. FOREIGN NEWS v FRANCE AND CHINA. Peace Declared Between the Two Conn* tries—China to Pay France no Indemnity. Paris. Ap{il 7. In the Deputies this afternoon. Brisson.the new premier, said that France would insist upon China's recognizing a French protecto rate over Tonquin and Anam. according to the provisions ot the treaty of Tientsin; peacibly, if possible; otherwise war would be renewed with increased vigor. He demanded a vote of credit for 150,(XX»,000 francs, to enable the government to carry out its pol icy in relation to China. San Frahcisco, April 7. The steamer Oceanic brings Hong Kong advices to March 19th. and Yokohama ad vices to March 21st. The Shanghai Mer cury says that the Viceroy of Yun Nan and Ewe Chang provinces has issued a decree commanding the destruction of all Roman Catholic convents. The decree also ordered that all Roman Catholic converts and all foreigners be killed. Reports have reached Shanghai that several Roman Catholic settlements have already been destroyed and several hundred converts have been killed. The village of Kin Ya Ving. two days' journey from Tali, has been destroyed, and four converts and two priests have been killed. The only reason assigned by the Chinese Viceroy tor the massacre is that the Roman Catholics were going to revolt against the Chinese government. London, April A dispatch from Pekin reports that peace ha- be«n concluded bttween France and China through Sir Robert Hart, on the basis of the Funnier convention. A Hong Kong dispatch from Pekin con firms the reports ot a conclusion of peace, and adds that no indemnity is to lie paid by China to France CENTRAL AMERICAN W AR. Cicnt Suftering Among the People nt the I'thnms. City of Mexico, via. 1 Galveston, April 7. President Diaz having been requested by the Central American States to send a com mission to mediate between them, has named Joaquin llaranda. the Mexican minister of justice and public instruction. Senor Bar anda will leave for the south this week. New Yoke, April 7. ^Antonio Barrios, a West Point cadet, and son of the President of Guatemala, arrived last night. He stated that he had no official advices from home, and he did not believe the published statement of his father's death and the defeat of the Guatemalan armv. Washington, April 7. Commander Kane, of the Galena, has tele graphed Secretary Whitney from Colon, un der date of April 6, as follows "Nothing new to report. The Panama Railroad Co. is getting the road in order. Government troops are anxious about the prisoners. The railrosd company and the Galena are feeding the troops. All are in need. There is great anxiety among foreign ers at Panama. Citt of Mkxico, April 7. In the secret session of Congress yester day. Minister Mariscol, in response to a sum mons, stated that the army now en route to the frontier numbers 150,000 men, and that Mexico is prepared to acton the defensive or offensive Several deputies presented reso lutions that the Executive be authorized to declare w ar against Guatemala. It was re ferred to the committee on foreign relations and war. The president of Salvador is not yet certain of victory in spite of the death of Barrios, and wants the active aid of Mexico in order to terminate the war quickly, with as little loss of life as possible. It is the common belief here now that President Diaz will accede to Salvador's request, and that Congress will grant the necessary authority for the declaration of war. ENGLAND AND Rl'NMIA. No Henson to Doubt the Peaceful Solu tion of the Trouble. London, April 7. Gladstone, replying to a memorial from members of the House of Commons in favor of submitting to arbitration the difficulties between England and Russia, says he sees no reason to doubt the peaceful settlement of the pending troubles by ordinary diplo matic measures. Earl Granville has forwarded a despatch to Sir Edward Thornton, British ambassador at St. Petersburg, refusing to accede to the re quest of M. I)e Giers, to extend the line of the debatable zone on the disputed Russn Afghan frontierto Para. Earl Granville in sists that the Lassar line be the fartherest limit, and urges an early meeting of the joint boundary commission. It is expected that Russia will yield these points. THE NORTHWESTERN WAR. Another Advance ol the British Troops. Wntnitrn.,, A pril 7. Gen. Middletown began his advance from Fort Qu’ Appelle today. He has about 350 j men.

The mud is knee deep in places. A BENEFIT FI NO. A Grand Carnival in Boston for a Fond to Aid the Soldiers’ Home in Chelsea.

Th« fal'h of our anc**»tor« In the pow*r of prayer to Almighty God, and a realization of entire depen. deno* upon Hi* mercy, led them early to set apart a da of public fa-ting, humiliation and prayer, which ha- become an honored u- tge, and when ac* •ompanled by a humble and ftincere belief that He la one "who beareth p-ayer,” D profitable in ita con tteaanoe. I therefore, by advice and consent of the Kxici* live Council, appoint Mir, Tin 23rd Dij of April S xt, to be observed by the p'*op!e of thin State for that pftoufl pnrpoae; and f do urge that ft be kept in the private home ar.d public aan tuary an becomea a chrietian people who have b*-u-and eight hunfr-d and elghtv* five, and of the Independence of the United State.* of America the one hundred and ninth. KKKDKKK'K ROME. By the Governor. OKAMAND \L -MITII, Secretary of '-tate. Jeff Davis is reported lu be improving in health and the stories of his sickness exaggerated. General George 15. McClellan is still •praising his patience wailing for a diple rudely dissipated when least expected. With the probability of a great war In Europe, the need of a stronger navy to protect American interests is strikingly apparent. The administration may yet realixe the folly of the course of its party in Con gress. If the business before the court of com missioners of Alabama claims is to be completed, the time now fixed tor winding op the affairs of the court—the 31st of December next—will have to be extended. The unexpended balance of the Geneva award placed at the disposal ot the court was $9,500,000, and the total number of claims filed against the fund was 5,731. Up to and including the 31st of the last month, judgments have burn rendered in 1,431 cases of the first class to the aggre gate amount of $3,260,514, and 1,761 of the second class tor war premiums have been adjndicated for an amount of $5,293,114. There remain to be disposed ot 2,559 CUM, 163 of them being of the first clus, which have the preference. It is hardly practicable to dispose of the bus iness at a greater rate than that of 200 cases a month, since many of the war pre mium cases involve very complicated questions of title and proof. The work of the court will therefore be necessarily par tial, unless the time given tor its comple tion be extended. The Case of Miss Swett. Moss Trouble for Civil Servicr Reform ers. The civil service reformer* have been broght up against a dead wall by the removal of Mis-Swe tt, the pension agent at Chicago. On no possible civil service theory can the removal be justified Miss Swett is an effi cient offic-r. Her commission has one year to ran. The commissioner of pensions, in asking for her removal, stated that his ac lion vii based neither up in personal nor offi cial ground*, a* no complaint could be made against her or the management of her office The democrats want the office, and pro pose to have it Letters have been received both by the President and by the Commis sioner of Pensions to-day from Miss Swett. The President referred hit letter to the Com mistioner of Pensions, and it is stated at the White House that he intends to take no notice of it. Secretary Lamar declined to say anvthing about the case. It it evident that Mita Swett is to be forced out of the office, tnd it will be curious to see what rea sons the administration will give to the Senate next winter lor having sus pended her. Some of the leading civil service reformers to-night, who do not quite have the courage t» openlv say so, are in detpair. If the Presi dent does not disavow this action there will be no ground tor them to stand upon. The removal of Miss Swett is a much greater vio lation of every civil service principle than the failure to re nominate Pearson would have been.— Washington Correspondence of Boston Journal.

Among Wm. H. Vanderbilt's grandsons are Wm. H. Jr., 14 years of age, and Cor nelius Jr., 11, each of whom has a fancy for mechanics. They are bright, active and lov able boys. Their present fancy has taken a turn for printing, and they are editing and publishing a monthly paper which they call “The Comet.” “Gene" Higgins (as The Evening Post calls him,) that delectable full fruition of Mugwump reform, is declared to be person ally “the soul ef punctuality, and a very courteous and popular gentleman.” “He is,” says The Boston Traveller,, “a tall, rather spare man, with hair and mustache liberally sprinkled with gray. He will greet you with all the grace of a Chesterfield, and with the genial temperament of an Ingersoll thrown in. Mr. Higgins appears to be a man who is satisfied that this is a very pleasant world, and that sunshine in life is a big thing. He is an inveterate joker, and is fond of harmless mischief."

He w rites "The old route, known as the South Basin, can be traveled only on foot. Starting on horseback from Russel's camp, on the 21st day of March, we took a southerly course be tween the Black Hills, and proceeded up the bed of a little brook until we reached the head of the gulch, within three miles of the summit. The rest of the way was easily traveled by our horses, through a growth of fir, spruce and white birch gradually growing thinner and ending near the top in small shrubs, while the summit itself is a hare ledge. There was little snow on the summit, hut is was so cold that we hurried down with our faces and ear* hadly frost-bitten.” (Mate Board of Health. I)r. F. II.

If all the strange tales that sextons can tell were put together in one volume, the book would be more fascinating th»n Arab ian Nights or Pilgrim's Progress. Sextons see many sides of life, and of death too, which other folks know very little about. From the orange blossoms of the wedding prooessi- -n to the black robes of the funeral cortege is but a step in the every day life of the sexton. He knows all the gtwsip among the church people, and keeps in his head, more or less, the accurate account of those who come regularly, and of those who stay away. Nobody except the doctor and the minister know as much as the sexton knows of what is going on in the community. ^exU’n Judd, of the North Church in New Haven, Conn., is as well known as the church itself; the church being one of the most famous ecclesiastical landmarks of orthodoxy. His genial face and pleasant smile are part of the rceogniied religious features of the city. He has a cheery word for everybody, and so has everybody for him. Some time ago Sexton J ujd had a severe tussle, not with ghosts, nor with the powers of darkness^ but with an enemy of the human race, which singled him out for its victim and laid him on his back in grievous torture. As that same enemy had knocked down so many good people' w ho have not vet obtained the victory m which Sexton Judd rejoices, Mr. Judd's storv is of personal interest to thousands. AVe will let him tell it as he recently told it to a friend who called on him in New Haven: For a good many years I had been troubled with the pains of neuralgia, par ticularly those which attack the hip and thigh, in the way of sciatica. At times they were severe, and then for some time I would have almost none. But about two years ago 1 felt the sciatic attack coming on me stronger than it had ever come be fore. For four or live days the pains would strike me at intervals, just as if to let me know that a big attack was coming. AA’ell, it came, in full force, and all of a sudden. I was at the store,—for during the week 1 am busy with curtain-fixtures, and all that sort ot upholstery work,—anil 1 was seized with a sciatic attack which knocked me entirely helpless. For two hours 1 was in such agony as 1 had never suffered 1 afore, and never want to sutler again. After a while Mr. Searles came in. He had lieen out of town that day anu had just returned. I knew alamt his Athlo phoros, and what it had done for himself and others. But I had never, up to this time, taken any. Now 1 was ready to sec what it could do for me. 1 asked Mr Searles if there was any use of trying it for a man who was suffering as 1 was. He laughed cheerfully and said, “we'll break this in short order.” I was taken home in a carriage and helped up stairs, for 1 could not walk by myself. 1 took a dose of Athlophoros. Three hours after that 1 took another dose. Oh! what a change there was 1 1 had no idea that am medicine could act so quickly and do so much good. By the time I had taken that second dose most of the pain was gone Indeed all that sharp, biting, cruel, t... menting part of it was over. For a v. hi I felt some twinges and lesser pains. I i the third dose took them out.” “So I suppose you were soon on again; and von ventured out before on. days, did you, Mr. Judd?” “Before many davsT AVell, I sin think so. I,et me tell you. Next mm; ing of course they did'not expect mo the store, and one or two of the otln came there earlier than their usual ii so as to help on w ith the work I geneni do. But you may judge their surj when they saw me already there, am! ing my customary work as though noth! hail happened. Did they talk at* much? AA’hy sir, it was'the talk i whole store, and of the neighborhood. all agreed that Athlophone was the extraordinarv medicine we had ever 1 of. And so 1 say to this day. Thai two years ago, and I have not had neuralgia, nor sciatica, or anything «.l kind since. But you mav depend mn if I were attacked again, 1 should this same Athlophoros, first, last, most and altogether.” .A. "5T 333 332, PRACTICAL PHOTOGRAPHER, Tn all Hrnnehen of the Art.

Bmnrtrr Journal. How to Tan Sheep-Skins. To those who occasionally kill a sheep, we pould say remember the following re cipe for tanning a sheep skin. They make the best kind of mats for the house or car riage, and a good Cotswold skin well tan ned makes a good cushion for the wagon seat, and for many uses it is valuable: •‘For mats, take two long-wool skins and make a strong suds, using hot water; when it is cold wash the skins in it, care fully squeezing them between the hands to get the dirt out of the wool, then wash the soap out with cold, clear water. Then dissolve alum and salt, each a halt pound, with a little hot water, sufficient to cover the skins, and let them soak in it over| night tor twelve hours; then hang over a i pail to drain. When they are well drain-; ed, spread or stretch careful lv over a board to dry. When a little damp.! have one ounce of saltpetre and alum pul-! verized. and sprinkle on the flesh side of each skin, rubbing in well; then lay the flesh sides together, and hang in the shade for two or three days, turning the under skin uppermost everv day until per fectly dry, then scrape the flesh side with a blunt knife to remove any remaining scraps of flesh. Trim off projecting points; rub the flesh side with the hands, and they will be very white and hand some, suitable for a door or carriage mat. i They also make good mittens. Lamb j skins or even sheep skins, if the wool be. trimmed off evenly to a half or three-j fourths of an inch long, make beautiful j and warm mittens tor ladies or gentle-; men, and the girls with a little practice I can make them.*’ Shade Trees. Many when planting shade trees, es pecially along the sidewalks,seem to think that it is not necessary to make any pro vision for their luture or even present growth but that all is done that is required when they have dug the smallest possible hole in which to place the roots and cov ered the same. When the trees are dug, the roots are often grubbed off so short that they can have no hold in the soil, and therefore re quire to be supported bv stakes. This is all wrong. We would treat our shade trees as living beings that require food, air and organs to assimilate the food, with space to develop root, trunk and branches; and this cannot be done under the unnatural conditions in which so many are placed. A large hole is necessary, in which every rootlet can bo spread careful ly. and in an uncramped, natural position, with good soil, to supply the tree with the elements of growth, and plenty of foot left. Where to Use Lime. Yon have often noticed in a pasture, harsh, tough, wiry growth which the stock will not readily eat, and will quickly take the edge off a scythe. The land on which this kind of grass grows is sour, and requires lime, says the Iowa Farmer. Again, where you notice moss growing in a pasture, the land is sour, and lime may lie used with advantage. Our Iowa lands as a rule, have a verv large amount of organic matter in their composition, thus lime will be a benefit to them, but on sandy lands it is dangerous to use it, as any decrease in vegetable matter would be serious. As a rule, caus tic lime may be used with advantage on all soils of a black color indicative of veg etable matter. When a vigorous action is not required, slaked lime may be used, when tiie acid character ot the soil will be gradually corrected and very much less of the organic matter will be used up. Adaptation of Manure. The fact is often noted that farmers who till sandy land are much more carelul about saving manure than those on muck or clay, remarks the City and Country. For one reason, at least, they have found this necessary. Sand will not absorb and retain manure so long as heavier soils. The sandy soil is also more easily worked, and its owner has the satisfaction ot know ing that every particle of manure he ap plies will tell on the crop at once. Green manuring is very important on sandy land. It gives a needed supply of vege table matter in which sand is very often deficient. There is never any danger, however wet the season, that green ma nures on sandy soil will make it sour by developing humic acid as they sometimes do on land already full of vegetable mat ter.

I understand; O, I know all you would say, dear; I’m not angry, not a bit—there, there’s a kiss—I can kiss you when I cannot any one else. I will even say that there is a fain! possibility you may be right, but it's no use; it 1 tried a thousand years. I could not be like you. and (laughingly) though I don't ad mire myself in the least, it seems to me that I don't want to be like you.” Part Second. Time, eleven o'clock next morning; j enter servant. ‘Miss Fannie, old Mr. Arnold wants to see you as soon as you can go over.” "All right. I’ll go immediately." Soliloquy: "I suppose that precious: boy has got his grandfather to promise to lecture me, and if he has, it is the worst piece of work be ever did.” She threw a scarf about her shoulders and was soon in the cosy library across the street. A venerable looking man sat in an arm-chair near the table he seem-1 ed sad and worn. “I sent tor you, Fannie, to ask if you will tell me why Ned has gone away said he. “Has he really gone asked Fannie, startled. “Yes, he went last night; here is the letter 1 have just received Fannie took the letter and read Dear Grandfather You were never so dear to me as at this moment, and yet, now, for the first time, I am proving my self an ungrateful fellow, and wounding you sorely I puzzled over my situation a long time, and I cannot but think that it is best for me to go away that is, best for me. Y«u see how selfish I have grown. 1 will write you often and fully, and, dear grandfather, the time will tty until I return, never to leave you again. 1 sail on the 15th, in the steamer-. Let me know you forgive me before I sail. Yours, Ned. “1 thought my trials were all ended, my path made smooth to my grave, since Ned came to be a son to me, but there was another trial in store for me, it seems,” said the old man, tremulously. “It is all my fault.” replied Fannie; “he has not told you he would not. of course, but I will. We had a few words, and he came over yesterday morning to ask pardon, and wanted to be very loving and sentimental; I felt just the reverse, and I exasperated him he threatened to go away, but I did not dream that he would.” “1 thought it was something of the kind, and now the poor old grandfather must pass his days alone, perhaps for years, unless”—his face brightened as he thought—unless we can persuade him to return. Fannie, you are a good girl, I know; you have owned up bravely that you drove him away; will you help me persuade him to return She had not expected this; she waited a moment, but she was a good girl, so she said at last, in a resolute voice: “I must; it is due to vou, and he will come back of course, like a conquering hero, and this whole escapade will be the most thoroughly boyish thing he has ever done.” “Boyish! yes. my Ned has the heart of a bov, the heart of a fresh, innocent boy surely you don't object to that I don’t know”—restlessly—“can't a man be manly and also be fresh and in nocent “Why, Fannie. Ned is the manliest young fellow 1 know; he would wade through fire to do his duty. I am afraid you don’t love him as he deserves, my child.” "Yes, 1 do. that is, 1 think Ido. Mr. Arnold, 1 never saw anyone I liked half as well, any way. Well. I will go and write him to come back, and you can inclose it in yours.” But Ned did not come back he wrote very lovingly to Mr. Arnold, and very quietly to Fannie, inclosing hers in the one to his grandfather; it Nth “You are very kind to ask me to come back, Fannie, but 1 made up my mind before starting that it would do me good to travel, and, in fact, that the separation would be best for both of us. It cuts me to the heart to give this unhappiness to grandfather; go to see him very often while I am away.” So the devoted lover who had sighed if she but frowned, thought the separation would be best for both. He had not even asked her to write j again she flushed with humiliation as she read his note. It is the same as giving me my freedom, she said to herself. So the days passed on. Ned every evening dottted down his chief impressions during the day, and once a week sent the whole to his grand father. He wrote in an earnest manner, and his letters were guiltless of any at tempt at display; they were a simple, truthful narration of what he saw and the thoughts bom of these new sights. When ever there was a letter Fannie knew it by the light of love that beamed in the old man's eyes when she went over of an evening, and it was invariably brought forth and read to her with the greatest pride and enjoyment. He wrote from England, of its grandeur and its meanness, of its palaces and its hovels, of its great navy and its greed for power, wealth and territory. He wrote irom the land of Burns, whom he loved, and from beautiful Seville, where he feasted on the immortal genius of Murillo. From poor crushed Ireland he wrote let ers that made both the old man and the young girl weep together. From Mar seilles, he wrote: “I feel every morn ing when I rise, like shouting at the top of mv voice: 'Ye »om of France, awake te story. From Paris he wrote with enthusiasm. 1 But towards the close of his letter he said: “But in the midst of this beauty, ray heart aches, O, grandfather, when" 1 I think of my own loved country, and ot the happy lives of innocence they live, free as the birds; when I think of their freedom to marry those whom they love, and their settling down, some in splendor, some in poor little homes, but all content ed, I feel like rising up. removing mv hat bowing my head in reverence untii mv thoughts have passed to a less sacred sub ject. Then the wish comes, if I could but take these fair young girls, the victims of too vicious customs, to the lovely country places of America, where they could be free, free to do right, free to be good and pure. Heavens! what a pregnant word freedom is; it means everything, does it not, dear grandfather?” At the close of every letter he said, “Give my kind regards to Fannie.” or “I hope Fannie is well.” He never once omitted to mention her in that way. Three years had passed away when he found himself, for the second time, in Milan. “I love Milan,” he wrote, “for I love music and one is scarcely ever out of the sound of music, day or night, in Milan. I must tell you, dear grandfather, Baldness. If you are troubled with a diseased scalp, if your hair is falling out, if it is weak and thin, or if you have become bald, your hair may be restored to its original healthful condition and color by the use of HalPs Hair Renewer. This efficient remedy combines the most desirable qual ities of the best preparations for the hair, without the use of any objection able Ingredient- Mrs. Hunsberry, 3t4 Franklin ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., after a severe attack of erysipelas in the head, lost her hair so rapidly that she soon became quite bald. One lK)ttlc of Hall's Hair Re newer produced a new growth, as soft, brown, and thick, as in youth. Gray Hairs are honorable, when they are associated with advanced age, but to be prematurely gray is unpleasant, to say the least. If you cannot renew your youth, you may, at least, attain the appearance of it, by the use of Hall's Hair lienewer. Randolph W. Farley, Nashua, N. H., quite a young man, whose hair had become gray, like that of a very aged person, applied HalTs Hair Renewer, and now his locks are a beautiful brown, as In youth. He says: The effects, in my case, from the use of nail's Hair Renewer are truly marvelous." Mrs. E. Elliott, Glenville, W. Va., says: “One bottle of Hall's Hair Renewer re stored my hair to its youthful color.” U A I I ,C VECETABLE llnLL O Sicilian Hair Renewer ts not a dye, nor does it contain any coloring matter whatever. It restores the hair to its original color by exciting the scalp to a natural, healthful action, and is, also, an efficient remedy in cases of scalp disease. Walter Burnham, M. I>., Lowell, l^ass., writes: Having, by accident, seen Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer used for restoring the hair, where inveterate eruptions had resisted various kinds of treatment, I found that not only was the hair restored to its natural beauty, but also the disease of the scalp was completely cured. I have since recommended the Renewer, fre quently, in similar eases, and always with the same success.*’ The beauty and vigor of the hair fs easily maintained by the use of Hall’s Hair Be newer. Mrs. Susan II. Scott, Stoddard, N*. H., writes: “The ltenewer will cer tainly restore gray hair to its original color. I have used it ten years, and it has given perfect satisfaction. It keeps mv hair In splendid condition.” Mrs. E. M. Kittenhouse, Humboldt, Kansas, writes: “I have used Hall's Hair Kenewer for years. It keeps the scalp clean and healthy, the hair dark and glossy, and pro duces a new and vigorous growth.” J. B. Duncan, Earedo, Texas, writes: For :i number of years my liair had been growing thinner, until at last I became quite bald. The use of two bottles of Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Benewer has restored to my head a fine, healthy growth of hair.” II. Errickson,4 Chest nut st., Charlestown, Mass., writes: When I commenced the use of Hall's Hair Benewer, the top of my head was perfectly bare.

JOHNSON t CO., boston, Maas, octwufcwiy ol an incident that has happened to me here—an incident that will always, during my future life, cause me to think of this place with affection. You know from my letters that I have never wavered in mv determination to practice medicine I have been through the principal hospi tals and studied their systems, and I have learned many things of value to me. and —I have had my first patient. But I will begin at the beginning:. I started out one afternoon to visit the cathedral. I w.shed to try to comprehend something of its wonderful plan, to realize a little of the greatness of its art and architecture. My thought was all given to mankind, and I was feeling a vast amount of pride that those in my own image had been able to accomplish such a wonder, when my notice was attracled by a woman and a boy; they carried a large, heavy basket between them putting it down in a quiet corner, the woman had the boy stand by it—(I had learned something of Italian) —and as he hastily entered the church, I caught sight of her face, which ex pressed great agony of mind, and was thin and worn. I entered, also, and saw that she knelt and bowed herself quite down, as if no longer able to bear what was troubling her. I don't know why, but I felt compelled to watch the poor creature. Her trembling and sobbing soon ceased, and wiping her eyes, she fixed them upon a little lig:ht that burned upon an altar in the dim distance. I could see her lips move In prayer, and if ever I saw perfect trust and love and reverence expressed in a human face, I saw them in her's. Architecture, art and everything was forgotten I was learning more than those things could teach me. (To be continued.)
