The President today appointed Her.ry P. Kernochsn ot Louisiana to be naval officer at New Orleans. Red Cloud and Agent MeGillieuddy faced other in the office ot the commis-inner of In dian aflsirs today. The old chief had pre pared a number of charges against the agent relating to the misappropriation of money, making a distinction of the agency affairs and attempis to crush Red Cloud anil destroy his influence. Agent MeGillieuddy made a brief denial of the charges and further pro ceedings were postponed until tomorrow. In the Dickson trial today Judge Coy lie, who presided throughout the star route trial, was called to the stand. He said about the 23d of August. Dickson came to him before the assembling of the court and showed him a card penned by a man named Bowen, on which was written some words which Dickson interpreted as an invitation to meet Bowen at Drivis. Dickson asked the witness’ ad vice. The witness told him in substance that it would be unworthy of Dickson's posi tion as a juryman to have anything to do with such a transaction. Dickson had expressed the suspicion that Bowen was employed by the government. Ex. U. S. Marshal Henry being recalled, described the conversation he had wiih Attor ney General Brewster. During the progress of the star route proceedings, the attorney general touml fault with the selection of two ulisnn n. He said to tne witness that the whole country would hold him (the witness) responsible if tile accused were not convict ed. The district attorney was proceeding lo question the witness, when the counsel for the defence ari se to object. The court said that many things had been put in as testimony which he ought to have objected to. The case bail assumed an aspect of trial of the late attorney general. The name of the late attorney general had been dragged in “The late attorney general must hold you (addressing District Attorney Worthington) responsible for all this scandal that has been heaped on his head. Worthington thought this unjust, inasmuch as the attorney general's name had been first introduced by the counsel for the defence and by the witnesses. The court said be would have ruled out Brewster Camer on's testimony if he could have foreseen that this was to be used for the purpose of heaping scandal on the head of the late attorney gen eral. It was an outrage. Attorney General has requested Solicitor General Phillips to remain in office during the present term of the U. S. supreme court, which will not be closed until May 4th. The President has signed the commissions of all the collectors of internal revenue, ap pointed since the adjournment of Congress, including that of Eben G. Pillsbury, as col lector of the third district of Massschusetts, over which there was said to be a dispute. It is said at the treasury department that the case of Pillsbury is exactly the same as those of others who have failed so far to file their bond. Postmaster Gen. Vilas today said that Postmaster Bailey of Camden, N.J.. has been suspended, because he had admitted that he purchased two pianos and 8IOUO worth of merchandise and paid for them in postage stamps. The effect was to increase iiis ap parent sales of stamps, and consequently his salary. AN INTERESTING CASE. Examination of ('apt. O'llrien ol the Steamer City of Mexico for ViolaG mg the Neutrality Laws.

Nkw Yobk, April 24. The examination in the case of ('apt. O'Brien of the steamer City of Mexico, tor violating the neutrality law s by the delivery of munitions of w ar to the rebels against the government of the United States of Colum bia, w as began today before U. S. Commis sioner Shields. John C- Austin, ol Austin, Lord Co., brokers of the “City of Mexico,” said the steamer was chartered by Pierce Williams to carry a cargo including arms, to corre spondents of ttie-irs in Savarillo. He granted the charter, he said, with the consent and advice of Mr. Alexander, president of the Provincial S. S. Co., owners of the City of Mexico. The witness did not know there was an actual insurrection going on. He thought it was a dispute between parties something like a fight between the deroocrate and re publicans in New York. John H. M. McCarthy, mate of the City of Mexico, testified that when he shipped he understood that the voyage was to Kingston and return. While in Erie Basin the vessel was loaded with arms and ammunition. Dur ing the passage several packages of arms be came loosened and aroused the suspictuns of the crew. The vessel reached Sabanill* March 21. The captain was ashore four days and on March 28, 200 officers and men, armed and uniformed, were taken aboard. The steamer sailed at once to Kio Hacha, which was reached the next day. The port officers came out to see the ship's papers and were taken prisoners by the soldiers. The steamer was flying the American flag. McCarthy testified that he and the crew objected to that sort of thing, but the witness was afraid he wuuld be shot if he interfered seriously. The steamer then cruised down the coast and bore down upon a schooner by order of the general commanding the troops. McCarthy says he notified the firemen and crew of what was going on, and then returned to the general with an American flag in his hand, saying: “We are all American citi zens, and we will be damned if we are going to capture that vessel. It is nothing hut piracy.” The capture was not made. The following day the trooper disembarked at Sab inolla. The seven prisoners taken from the port officers’ boat were sent to Barranqoila. They said the United States would have to make reparation. The City of Mexico then proceeded to Bocadel Torreo, where she loaded with fruit and returned to New York. Capt. O'Brien was today bailed in $11000. The steamship will be libelled by the govern ment. NOT CAUGHT YKI. Wip. Cunningham, the Alleged Williams* town Murderer, still at Large. North Adams, Mass., April 24. The officer# have today followed out many trails, but as yet been unable to find William Cunningham, the alleged murderer of Thus. Quinn, whose dead body was found this morning in Williamstown. Mrs. Williams, Miss Sadie Smith, Edward I.arrabee and James Bridgman, who were in Williams bonse at the time of the row, were today arraigned on the charge of murder and the hearing adjourned for one week. They were brought to North Adams and remain in the police station. Mrs. Williams has a family of small child ren. Mr. William* appeared today and de j dared he wonld have nothing whatever to do I with them. FOREIGN ISEWS ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. The SilqHtinn I'nchnnged A Proposi tion to Kubmit txe Fron ier Qu.-ti»n to Pie»idect t Icvelaud for Arbitra tion. Odessa, April 2*. The painful suspense over the Afghan frontier dispute has paralyzed business here. Huge granaries are almost empty. The in habitants are opposed to war hut fear that it ia inevitable. London, April 24. A detachment of engineers it engaged in blagting a passage through the ice to allow the ironclad Peter the Great to go from Crou sta.it to Levaborg. The Kussian staff has appointed a commit tee to supervise the transportation of troops and stores. It is reported that money is being collected in various Kussian cities for the equipment of privateers. Three new men-of war have been launched on the Black Sea. Sweden is busy with militia preparations. The Gathlan militia ia being mobilized King Oscar has Vrrive.l at Stockholm and haa held a cabinet council. The reason now assigned for the recall of the English engineer officers who were pro ceeding to Herat to direct the work of forti fying that place, is that the Ameer was una ble to guarantee their safety from violence from the hands of his own subjects. The Post «av» that E igland. Italy and Turkey are conferring in regard to the con dition of affairs in Egypt, but that they will not conclude any arrangements without the accord of the ceutral powers. The adntirally has ordered a number of a new type of gun-boat*, to be built a* rapidly as possible. The vessels will he armed with light shell guns for the purpose of destroying torpedo boats. They will be capable of steaming 1000 miles without recoaling. The Daily news says that negotiations with Kussia are not yet hopeless, though the only chance of settlement lies in Kussia’s ace. pl ant's of the frontier apparently inconsistent with her recent aggression. Gourley, advanced liberal, will ask Glad stone in the House of Commons next Mon day, whether he ia willing to submit the Kusso-Afghan frontier to President Cleve land for arbitration. Tlie Kussian port of Vladostock, on the Sea of Japan, has been closed by the sinking of torpedoes in the ship canals. Vienna, April 24, A despatch from Odessa to political cor respondents savs that 22.000 troops will be despatched from Surrey to reinforce Gen. Komaroff. The despatch also saya that the levies are under orders, and that the Kussian army in Turkeatan in a lew weeka will num ber 60,000 men. St. Petksbuku, April 24. The Novoe Vremva states that 53 war ves sels and several dozen torpedo boats will soon be at the disposal of the government at Cron stadt. Loudon, April 24. The stock market is lifeless, pending fur ther news from Russian concerning the Afghan matter. Consols flattered somewhat on the news from Cairo regarding the Franco Egyptain affair. It is not believed, however, that the matter will assume a serious phase The Duchess of Edinghurg, daughter of the Czar, is greatly depressed at the strained relation betwi en England and Russia, f he is prepared to start if necessary in a few hours for Cobourg, where she will reside in the event of war In the House of Lords this afternoon the Egyptian loan bill passed the enmmitee with out amendment. In the lobbies of the House of Commons this afternoon, it was said that Gladstone, pale and agitated, made an almost pathetic appcal to the members of Parliament not to press upon the government questions concern ing the situation in Egypt nr the condition of the correspondence with Russia upon the Afghan boundary and the collision of the Russian and Afghan troops. Gladstone, it j was claimed, was evidently much disturbed by the news from Cairo this morning ot the rupture with France of her relations w ith Egypt. Bombay, April 24 The naval authorities here are on the look out for five Russian man of-war which passed through the Gulf of Alien from the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean last week; the harbor of Rangor being fortified to resist Russian at tacks. A number of steam launches has been purchased and fitted w ith torpedoes and heavy guns have been mounted on the shore in positions to command the ship channels. St. Petersburg, April 24. Naval circles are at (ever heat over the re ported presence of a British ironclad at Valodivostock, the Russian port on the Sea of Japan. THE EGYPTIAN WAIt. '_ I Diplnmnlic Itefnttnn* Between Eeypt mill Fiance llnvc Not Iteen Broken— Notes and Bumors. London, April 24. In the House of Common", this afternoon, Mr. Gladstone announced that the French consul general left Cairo today. This break ing off of the official relations between France and Egypt is entirely unexpected. Cairo, April 24. The diplomatic relations between E^ypt and Franco have not been broken. The French charge, however, has been instruct ed to go to Alexandria, tomorrow morning, and if Egypt tails to make a satisfactory re plv, he will leave Alexandria tomorrow even ing. The French transports, with 4000 troops on board, now in the Suez Canal, have been ordered to remain there for the present. The opinion is expressed here that France andjtussia are concerting against England. Breaking op the “Parcel System” in tireat Britain. London, April 24. At a meeting of rich and influential land owners held here today and attended by such persons as the Duke of Argyle, Earl Carnar von and the Marquis of Kipon, it resolved to take steps tor the immediate formation of a large corporation, to be called the “National Land Company,’* for the purpose of securing the gradual breaking up of the “large parcel” system of landownership now injuriously prevalent in Great Britain. The present plan of new organization is to buy up land at wholesale and sell it out in lots not to exceed 40 acres, under considera tion likely to cause further sub-division and prevent aggregation of title. The company will, in all likelihood, buy for cash and sell on deterred payments covering at least ten I ye"»- _ Humor* About the Explosives. London, April 24. The latest conjecture is that the explosives used at the Admiralty must have been placed j in Swainson’s desk. It probably came through the parcel post and is thought to have consist ed of two pounds of gun cotton or some simi lar agent. The only other explanation offer ed i s that some person gained admission to the building during the slight interval occur ing between the relays of police, and deposit ed the explosive in the office. FROM CENTRAL. AMERICA. The Americans Arrive in Panama saL Taken Possession ol the Town. Panama, vi* Galveston, .April St. This afternoon while a strong barrieada was being erected, entirely enclosing the Central and South American Cable Co’s of fice, and great preparations were being made tor a fight, the Americans arrived, knocked down the barricades and took charge of the town.

fiOg gnrorttr fmnnl Aoruit*. Saturday Homing, April 25* The appointments of Pillsbnry and Chase are bitter pills for the independent supporters of Cleveland. The bourbons of Maine were opposed to Pfllsbnry having an ofli.-e in this State, but they had no objection to ins bolding one in Massachusetts. An explosion, probably of dynamite, occurred Thursday in the Admiralty Office, London, damaging one room some what and injuring the Secretary. There is talk ot calling the Legislature of Oregon together again. The governor, however, insists as a condition that the republican members shall agree, before hand, to elect a United States Senalor. The opinion expressed in the editorial columns of the Boston Advertiser, that the appointments of Pillsburv and Chase, by the President, "are as bad as they could be unless he had chosen rnen convicted of crime.” is endorsed very largely by the people of Maine. The Bangor Commercial accuse* the Argus of treachery to democratic princi ple* in upholding the enforcement ol the prohibition law in Portland. The Argus I* probably only having a spasm of tem perance “between drinks.” But this is better than nothing. The Lowell Mail says that “the objec tion to Pillsbury is that he was such a •copperhead’ in the war, and needed par doning a good deal more than any Confed erate, and bis notorious career in Maine politic* generally. The President ought to have been able to do much better than this.” _ Daring the war. in reply to the remark of a Union paper that the name of Abra ham Lincoln would shine in the country’s history, a democratic editor retorted: “Yes.it will shine and stink, and stink and shine like a rotten mackerel m the moon light.” The editor was Eben F. Pillsbury, whom President Cleveland has raised to the third office in his gift in Massachu setts.—[lionton Journal. Tbo*e republican pap r* In Maine that object to the appointnient ot an honest and capable democrat a» e-sea to speak in time. A fundamental principle of the democratic party, declared in the platforms of its nation al conventions, reaffirmed in those of its Slate Convention*, and maintained by the press of the party almost without exception, is opposition to sumptuary laws. When the time conns for the Portland Argus and its clique of Portland politicians to ask a demo cratic convention to follow them in their ^«ig^Mflcation on this question, there will bo do necessity for the people in the neigh borhood to place their eaia to the ground to boar tbo music that will ensue. Plltobury—Chaoe Theib ArroirmssT to Omen—A Dior THAT “Is HbaDD ALL OVK* SEW E»0 LA»D." _ A Itwsnl for one of tbe Osmsios Hmmg. [Bangor Whig and Courier.] The “Reform” ware has at last struck Maine, and the first important Federal appointment in this State proves to be a re ward tor one of tbe Garcelon gang. The tel egraph announces that Charles H. Chase of Portland, has been appointed Internal Reve nue Collector for the District of Maine. This is the man who became notoriously designa ted aa -Tabulator Cha«e,” on account of his prominence as a member of the Garcelon Council in the counting out of tbirtv-seven members of the Maine legislature in tbe win ter of 1879 80 The Couwt-owt Element wt the Front. (Lewiston Journal.) Capt. Chase has been appointed internal revenue collector for the district of Maine. The captain is one of the best known politi cal figures in the State. He became notorious through his active participation in the State steal of 1879-80, and has since that time been one of the leading democratic managers in Maine. Although Col. Crom veil was the nominal head of the party in the last cam paign, the rial director of the democratic forces was Capt. Chase,with his headquarters in his Concord wagon. His appointment is another indication that the c tunt-out element of the democratic party in Maine is at the front. Could Mot Han Had* Won* .Appoint meats. (Boston Journal.) The President could scarcely hare made two worse appointments than those of Mr. E. F. Pillsbury to be collector of internal re»e nue in this'district and of Mr. Charles H. Chase to the same office in Maine. This is not because they are democrats, for we ex pect the President to select democrats to fill the offices, but because they hare been ma lignant and unscrupulous partisans for a quarter of a century. During the war both were the most pronounced copperheads io Maine. Mr. Pillsbury edited a paper during the most critical period of the war, in which he denounced Abraham Lincoln in language scarcely fit to print in a decent paper. Nllllest Sort of a Political Blunder. [Springfield Republic»n find.) When the administration gets down to Pillsbury of Maine for collector of internal revenue in the third district of Massachusetts, the drop is heard all over New England There will be general impatience at this wan ton lowering of the standard hitherto main tained. And then there is Troup of New Haven, also made a collector of internal revenue, who has no particular political prin ciples because he does not see what use a politician can have for such baggage. These men are well mated, and the tender care which this administration displays for Ben Butler's political orphans is something more than a crime,—for it is the silliest sort ol a political blunder. They are politicians of the trade and dicker order, who may be ex pected to manipulate their offices “for all they are worth" to the party in power. Both have been followers of Butler, admirers of his sturdy adherence to the grossest sort of spoils doctrine, and neither commands the respect and confidence of the people. Must Have Experienced a Remarkable Conversion. [Boston Record (Ind.) If Eben F. Pillsbury, just appointed in ternal revenue collector for the third district of Massachusetts, is not an "offensive parti san," he must hare experienced a remarka ble conversion.

WUU AX THE BEW HAVE* FOiT OFFICE. A* building in New Ilaveu w hich does for the accommodation of the post •ffioe and the United States court* wax erected thirty years ago. While nut a* magnificent aa some of the later and more coaly government edifires, it is solid and convenient. It was well adapted to the purposes for which it was built. But in recent years the business transacted within its walls has increased to such an extent that much more room was found necessary. To this end it was decided not to pull down the present building ami build a larger one, but to erect an addition. The work is now going on under the super vision of Postmaster Sperry. 4 When com pleted the building will be one of the most ample and commodious of all the govern ment buildings in the country. The Hon. Nehemiah D. Sperry has for over twenty years been postmaster of New Haven, and has performed the duties of tbe office with conspicuous faithfulness and marked success. No man is better known or more highly esteemed in social, financial or political circles. One of our correspondents, called on him a few days ago to learn what be had to say about rheumatism. Said Mr. Sperry: “Ye*, indeed, I had rheumatism, and had it for some time. It was principally in my shoulder, and for a long time the pain was very severe. About two years ago I heard that the new medicine, Athlophoros, had done much good to many who nad suffered from rheumatism, and I concluded to try h. The result was exceedingly gratifying. It drove my rheumatism entirely away. Other medicines had only given me partial relief. But the relief afforded me by this was complete. Since that I have had no return of rheumatism worth mentioning.( My daughter was laid up with rheuma tism, and suflered much. Athlophoros did for her what other medicines seemed pow erless to accomplish. 1 have a very high opinion of this remedy, and I hear u very highly spoken of among my friends.” rrorn the peixt office our correspondent went to the store of Messrs. Thomson A: Co., whose fire-proof safes are famous throughout the: New England Stales. Mr. 0. d. Thomson, the head of this firm, narrated his experience sulwtantially as follows: “For a dozen years, at least, I was a great sufferer. Rheumatic neuralgia would frecpiently attack me, generally in the legs and feet, and for the most part very suddenly. Sometimes the attacks were by day and Rcunetimes by night, destroying nil hope of sleep or rest. 1 was often compelled to remain away from my business for days at a time, for walking was so painful as to he almost an impossi bility. To get rid of my excruciating pain, I tried many of the medicines adver tised for the relief of sucdi things. When I look over the list of all that I took, I wonder that I am still alive. A “At last I took Athlophoros. None of tho other things had done me any good. Here was a novel experience. 1 must say that I hail no faith in it, and that 1 tried it merely as an experiment. Two doses of Athlophoros had a marked effect in removing my pain. I continued taking the medicine for alsait ten days, according 'o directions, and hy that time the pain was entirely gone. I could now sleep in pence and rest in comfort.” "Wince that time, Mr. Thomson, have yon hail any more troulde with neu ralgia?” “None to sneak of, except in occasional returns, which aro altogether different from the old torments I need to suffer. Hometimcs I find myself a sort of a barometer in changeable weather. A few twinges of neuralgic pain remind me of former times. I have found that Athlo phoros gives me relief from those tempo rary attacks. I nm told that Athlophoros has done a great deal for others; but 1 am particularly concerned in what it lias done for me. It is now nearly two years since it first gave me relief, and 1 very cheerfully say that I Vlieve Athlophoros is the best medicine I know of for rheuma tism and neuralgia.” If you cannot get Ann ornoaos of your drug gist. \\c wilt -'Mu!

CATARRH. e of invitations,) the old lord did not dance,and so he was not in the Caledonian bail at at Willis’ rooms that night, with a red collar tacked on to his dress coat, pre tending to be a postman. But Lord Art was there in the full bravery and panopy of the Queen’s Own Orkney islanders, of w hich gallant corps he was a sort of hon orary sub-lieutenant. Harry was there,as a mutter of course, and before lie knew well where he was, they were dancing their annual reel (a wierd, barbaric thing, in which the performers touch the door gingerly with their toes, as if it were red hot, and look regretfully over their shoul ders at their left legs when they are not engaged in tying them into true lover's knots, and snap their fingers and crj“Hoo!” at exciting intervals.) But the rhythm of the reel didn't touch Art's sternness; ana wnen ne tea itiirrv out lor a lemonade under the famous Sir Joshua in the ante-room, he had lost his wonted smile, and lookeil inclined for war, and sat by her side like a sulky Scandinavian pod. The Queen's Own OI’s wear, as you know, a costume more archwologi callv accurate than artistic. "Why has the good uncle ol the angry nephew not come to the gay dances?” Harry inquired,Ollendortlianiy. "Wereu’t those roans simply stunning, and hadn’t we a good time?” "No, I hadn’t a good time, you know that; and. forgive me, you are getting shockingly slangy.” Harry opened the violet windows ot her soul—wide open—and said nothing. "You devote yourself to my uncle can’t help that,” Art went, on, and then the peal of tiny bells tinkled softly, "but then you are never serious for a moment. Life is all a reel to you why don’t you go to (lirton and be a Wrangleress or some thing, or have a mission, or go ‘slum ming’—anything to stop this Iritteringand frivoling away your young life?” Art was getting ridiculous, and he knew it; still he floundered on. "This London whirl is so empty and shallow. See here, Harry, perhaps I’ve no right to speak, but let me give you just a little piece of my mind.” “I wouldn't give me a very big piece.if I were you. Art; you know you haven't very much to spare,” said she of the violet eyes; and then he got cross, which was foolish, of course. "What pleasure can it give you to fret me so?” he growled "Like all the rest of them, 1 suppose.” If there's one observation that a woman dislikes more than another, it is that just recorded. To be classified, to be make one ot a group whose ways and habits are understo id as if they were bacteria or blackbirds to be $urumed up as "so like a woman,” arc statements and criticisms, as a rule, uttered by men in anger, and listened to by women with contemptuous indigation and so there was a row royal, and it pivoted on slanpliness in gene nil." “You men, said Harry, “who insist.on applying your racing, and cricketing, and boating metaphors to all the events ot this life, and to teach 11s to do the same, haven’t an ounce ot the pluck of thu “Se rious Johnnies,' who have the courage to use words out of the ordinary smoking vocabulary because they know what they mean, which the idle and ignorant don’t. Do you know, you and 1 have spent years talking abject nonsense to each other?” and there was just a faint flush as she spoke. In the pause Art had qualms of conscience, and his eyes wandered round the room. “What do you think of that?” he said suddenly, indicating the Sir Joshua before them. He knew she was a fair judge of pictures, and waited for an honest verdict to turn the talk into a less stony and per turbed channel. Wit-’, the rapt gaze of a seraph Harry looked upward, and murmured softly, “Downright ripping!” It was too much for him. and after her own lecture, too “Ripping? you ought to he put on baby ruskins and water for a fortnight. The good old uncle would not admire the young girl's discourse;” and then he hummed to himself an ill-advised stanza commencing “Crabbed age and youth,” and laughed, till suddenly the violet eyes turned into steel-blue, like those of Glaueopis Athene, and as the valse began Miss Horton rose, and flashed out. “What right have you?”—then her partner came and carried her off. and in answer to subsequent inquiries of Art’s she stated eooly that her card was full. For three days subsequently he never called on her—a dangerous experiment with a girl like Harry—three whole days of golden passionate youth lost, three heads (alien from the chaplet that makes up life’s msary. But Uncle Arthur did call. and. what is more, askeil the ad miral to dine with him at Whooille's, and had long talks with the porte-absorr>ing sea lion. Then did my Lord Art do a very foolish thing from Mr. Worldly Wiseman's cvni c.-.l point of view. 11c wrote to Harry late one night. He loves the girl and he told her so. He upbraided himself. His earn estness knocked all the frivolity and irre sponsibility out ot him for the moment, and he became so earnest, and wrote so late, and ust d so much note paper, that the other men in the club thought he must have taken to writing for newspapers, and were naturally iudiguant, as his conduct seemed a violation of rule 47, which stat ed that "no trade or calling was to be car ried on in the dob.” The next evening’s post brought him a line: “Too late; be brave for both our sake;—H H.” and he promptly gave or ders to pack up for a ride to the equator in lawn-tennis shoes, with a parcel of re frigerators to sooth the native chiefs with al.'’ Morning, however, brought him an urgent invitation to breakfast with his un cle in Flat A. at which banquent he found himself the solitarv guest. ‘•My boy,” said his well-preserved re lation, as he began on a slice of melon, ••vou did me a great service, and I shan t forget it. She is really charming; I know vou will approve of ray choice. Art, your affectionate uncle is about to take un to his middle-aged but still fascinating self a wife.” A what ‘■A wife, irreverent nephew; it may seem foolish to vou, probably is, more es pecially as 1 don’t think she leally loves me (true, she doesn’t quite know yet).hut she said ‘yes’ in a fit of pique with some unknown scapegrace who was playing at sulks. But lhen, bless you, I understand women, and love will come all right alter marriage, and now you know what I want. Special license next Saturday. St. Dunstan’s-in-the-Lane—old City church, you know no crowds and reporters and fellows to gossip over it—they can do that in a week if they like; and (vou know our motto. Nunc aut nunquam you, my dear boy, are to be my best man!” ••Your what?” ‘•Confound it, sir! can’t you hear? Best man; second best, really,” he chuckled, as he made fair way with a reindeer longue; “and you are to square the man who runs the church.and the organ-grind- j ing chap, and all the rest of it.” Art had his laugh out; he couldn’t help 1 it. “Forgive me, dear uncle, but really this new departure is so abrupt—however, j I’ll see you safe through it all; I’ll square everybody bridesmaids particularly, j Mille ielicitations! St,. Dunstan’s! why that’s old Cantiey’s church he was up witli me at Cambridge; capital sort, old Bob. And now. let me see—yes, you are not a real peer; still you get the license, for the asking. Other people have to go and tell shocking crams to old men called densofthe faculty and asurrqgate who live i in dens in the city and ask stuoid questions. Then, there’s new frock-coat, flower, lockets for the girls, cake- no, that’s her department; toasts, rings, telegrams.1 Yes.” he added, cheerily, "it’s a close i thing, but we can do it, and now I’mcfl';” and he got up, "Oh. by the way.” he ad ded as he turned at the door, “You have not told me the fair one’s name.” “Her name said the elder peer, as he quaffed off his claret and rang for cof fee, “Why, I thought you must have guessed it; Harry Horton, of course.” The door banged as Art leaped rather than ran down stairs, and Lord Arthur smiled complacently. The “capital sort,’,’ the Rev. Robert Canlley, M. A., was astonished by Art's abrupt and feverish invasion of him, and still more so to receive his marching or ders for the ensuing Saturday, and to hear his old ally’s Romeo-like romance. Like a true Friar Laurence, he did his best to administer ghostly and worldly counsel, even going to the length of ignoring Art’s muttered imprecations as he pointed out proverbally that the feminine fish yet re maining in the social sea, were fully equal in flavor and quality to the speci mens that had already been, or were about to be extracted therefrom. But chaftlell flat, admonitions were received with run ning comments of a kind long ago ex punged trom his reverence’s vocabulary, and Anally he got up. "Look here, Lanton, be a man; no woman’s worth fretting over. I)o your duty, don't whine over it; and now pull yourself together, and come and look at my church.” The vicar of St. Dunstan’s-in-the-Lane pointed out the medieval carvings and win dows,(the designs of which chiefly consist ed of interlaced noses and tongues, com memorative of the founder's famous teat,) the crypts,monuments,cells,fonts,lecterns, brasses, and a rare, thirteenth century hagioscope, which might have been a kaleidoscope, tor all that Art knew of its uses—and the exploring party wound up at the vestry. This was a vaulted, octagonal chamber. Mysterious doors led from it into dark passages; through the dusty ivy that oc casionally tapped and flapped against the wire-guarded, stained glass, the sun just managed to struggle in colored shafts ot light, full of dancing notes; the very sur plice that hung on its peg in the corner, looked like a ghost. It was a queer place altogether. “And where does that go to, pray?” said Art. pointing to a low wooden door, thickly studded with nails,to reach which, one had to descend three much-worn steps. “That's the penitentiary; you see it would have been no use setting imposi tions to the old Iriars who spent all their days writing Lalin, and precious bad Lat in. too.” said the vicar, “and they did all their swishing themselves; so when they were in disgrace, or shirked the Second Lesson, vou know, (Art nodded, he did know,) “or went out of bounds, the abbott used to bottle them up in there for a bit, till they wore sadder, and wiser and hun grier monks. Like a peep?” and he opened the door. In the gloom. Art could just make ont a table, on which stood a decanter of sherry and a box of Abernethy biscuits. “Heavy work of a morning sometimes,” said the vicar, laughingly, “when the font is as full as a pool of trout.and the couples are sorting themselves in pair* to be mar ried afterward. Take care! if you bang that door you'll never get out as' it shuts with a snap, and take two keys to open. Fancy being shut up with the spirits of all the erring iriars who dolefully counted the hours and their beads therein centuries ago!” Art was glad enough to get back to the vicarage, and felt better after lunch and a big cigar. Suddenly he bethought him self of his duties “Good-bye,” said the vicar; “keep up heart, and when it's all over, von and I will go a-fishing together up north. It’s a theological pastime, von know, from primitive time.” Then Lord Art laughed as he got into his cab, and there was a mischievous twinkle in his eyes as he drove off. Probably he was thinking of the old friars. It was a very quiet wedding indeed, only attended by the near friends of the I parties." as the papers sav. The bride arrived at half-past ten with her brides maids, consisting of her sisters and the poetical young lads who had been on the coach and of whom Harry was, curiously enough, very fond. She'looked properly pale and interesting, as, leaning on her father’s arm. she swept up the aisle of St. Dunstan’s—an operation, by the way, which the old lady in the black bonnet and shawl who ushered them in had pre viouslv performed that morning. The gallant admiral looked fierce, as was his wont when happy, and glanced about him with a sort of “six dozen all round” look on his face. The gentleman at the organ played beautiful moeic—an orange-blos som matifoi his own composition; and the Rev. Robert awaited the party within the rails. But there was a gap. acunmis hiatus, on the clergyman s left. Could it be possible? The admiral fired broadsides of fierce looks about him. the bride looked bewildered, the gentleman at the organ pulled out all the stops at once to cover the hitch but there was no doubt about it—the bridegroom was keeping the stage waiting. The little old ladv with the black bonnet dived into the vestry like a rabbit, and returned, after an inter val, with Lord Arthur Lanton,the younger and with him alone. The best man held a hurried conference with the startled group. I certrinly saw him a quarter of an hour ago; then 1 left the vestry for a mo ment to speak about the carriages, and when 1 returned he wasn't there. It's verv strange!” There was much murmuring and con suliation.(luring which the poetical brides maid looked at the best man and his gar denia, and whispered to the startled sis ters. “•Twer better by far To have match* d fair cousin with Young Lochinvar.” But no bridegroom, dangling his bonnet and plume,” or his Lincoln Lennetl. was to be found high or low. The time was ebbing fast, and then the admir al li ted up his voice, and gave utterance to strange words not understood of the many, and the ancient mariner’s eye glit tered wickedly, and he roundly swore that his girl should be married. “Send out and scour London! Where's the lubber shirking? Siring me up at the steeple it she goes back from church “She shan’t go back to church,” said the. best man quietly and gravely. “It was my duty to bring the bridegroom here, and as he is not here, it's my boun den duty to provide asubstiiute for him.” You will observe there was a touch of the tiilberiian ethics about this self sacri-j Being young man. “Right, sir, by Gad but where is the substitute? My daughter was to marry Lord Arthur Lanton. and-” “And if you will accept him she will marry him,” said the slave of duty with a longing glance at the bride to whom he said a half a dosen words in a whisper. “Spoken like a Briton, sir!” almost roared the admiral. “She is yours if she consents,” “As it is your wish, dear father,” meek ly murmured the bride and then the vicar had a little to say. Had tne banns been put up. How could he perform the ceremony thus abruptly? ••Here, reverend sir! ’said the best man, is a special license,directing you to marry Lord Arthur Lanton, of the Regeney man sions, to this lady, and that is mv name and address;” and then he produced a document bearing a red seal, and before the mystic "Ed, Cantaur,” the Rev. Rob ert Cantley naturally felt it incumbent upon him (as Incumbent of St. Dunstan’s in-the-Lane) to do his duty, and he prompt ly, and without further protest, married the handsome pair before him. There was a pleasant little breakfast, at’whieh the bride looked bright and the bridegroom brave, and the admiral blended blessings and round dozens in his speech; and I have heard that they were all very happy, and that when the bride was dress ing to go away,she whispered to the poetical bridesmaid, “I shall be in no hurry to re turn home, dear;and. of course. I’ll write to you every day, and send me some cake to Paris.” And below Art waited for her. with the few astonished guests; and in a moment they were driven oft, with much joy in their young hearts and much rice down their young necks. As to how it ajl came out I am not quite certain. The Rev. Bob is wont to declare that he got a telegram from Dover that afternoon bidding him "Look after the Iriar!” Other folks say he knew all about it; but this lie stoutly denies. At all events, he and the little old lady jointly and severally discov ered that evening the Abernetliv biscuit, one decanter that liad once contained sher ry, and one Malvolio-like old gentleman fast asleep in the refractory Iriars’ peni tentiary ol St Dunstau’s. There was a nine days’s laugh, of course. Lord Malvoiio bore it with Lyceum like grimness, and now swears he was well out of it; but the story so tickled the duke that he forgave his prodigal son for the sake ol his sweet daughter-in-law. who, bv the way has turned out an excellent wife. The little old lady could tell the story il she liked, but she doesn't; and her ntys torious silence has been rewarded. Bob Cantley and the admiral both tell it well; hut the poetical bridesmaid tolls it better than anybody else, and she told it to me.
