Fate, says the proverb, comes treading on wool. Bat It never (ails to meet its appoint ment. Punctuality, said Charles the Tenth, is the politeness of kings. Nemesis has 5 this royal attribute, and never misses her en gagement8. She has just settled an account of twenty years standing with John Lee, assassin and Mormon bishop. In 1858 the country was horrified by the news of the massacre of a party of emigrants from Arkansas, numbering 140 men, women and children. This emigrant train was in 1857 on its way to Cali'ornia. It made a short stay at Camp Douglas, near Salt Lake City, and then went on its way. Tte route it had taken was a noted emigrant trail, and some of the trains which had preceded it had found the land of Utah good, and had settled there. The presence of “Gentiles” was a great annoyanco to the Mormons, the matter was discussed in the secret councils of their aL ii nr. rl .4- a a /Iaa. Ja J a4 aUaaI. be put to immigration. The Arkansas trav ellers, like those who had gone before them, were greatly pleased with the country, and while at Camp Douglas they talked freely ol their desire to settle in Utah. This talk frightened and exasperated tbe Latter-Day Saints, and they determined at once upon a measure which would deter immigration for years to come. It was resolved to destroy 1 the train. Lee, a leader in the Church, and a man of bold and desperate character, was chosen as the agent to carry this plan into effect. He was at the head of the order oi Danites, a band of fanatical Mormons sworn to vengeance on the oppressors of the Church, and calling themselves “avenging angels.” To these men the destruction ol 1 Gentile immigrants seemed a deed pleasing to God, and they readily engaged in the wort of murder. The services of a tribe of Indians were secured, and, themselves disguised as Indians, the Danites with their savage allies fell upon the train at Mountain Meadow, not far distant from the Camp, and nearly exter minated the immigrants. Of the 140 but sev enteen, all children too young, it was thought, to remember the terrible scene, or to give testimony against the murderers, escaped with their lives. The next year 1858, a trav eller passing by Mountain Meadow, found the bones of the unfortunate Arkansians and brought the news of their fate to the states. For a long time it was thought that the massacre was the work of Indians alone. But suspicion at last settled upon Lee and the Mormons. Finally evidence was obtained suf ficlent to justify the arrest of the murderers, and Lee was brought to trial in 1875. At his first trial the jury failed to agree; but on the second trial, in September last, he was con victed, and yesterday he made that insuffi cient expiation for his crime which the crimi I nal code of the nation requires. Before his execution he made a confession, stating that Brigham Young and his advisers instigated the massacre, and after its completion com mended it as a deed which had found favor ic the eyes of God. The punishment is yet t( come; but the Nemesis which brought Le( to his death has not forgotten them, and theii reward is close at hand. The Russians are rather indignant at th< reported and generally accepted idea that the Czar is disinclined to declare war against the Sultan. In his European dominions, where PmaL .aIUIa.-:l, _ i 1 VUV IbVlIUg IVUj; has been that there must be not merely a wai of races, but a war of creeds; that, in short, a contest between Cross and Crescent cannot and ought not be much longer delayed. Gen eral Ignatieff, long the Russian ambassador in Constantinople, is understood to participatf in the Czar’s desire to avoid what, if once be gun, must be a mutually destructive strile From all the Provinces addresses encourag iug him to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard are literally crowding on the Czar. Even his Mohammedan subjects par ticipate in this manifestation of opinion. One of the addresses, from a Siberian Kirghi: horde, contains this remarkable passage “Though the Turks are our co-religionists they are clearly at fault. They have no righl to oppress their Christian subjects. The Mo hammedan faith does not approve the oppres sion of other denominations. ]f thou, C great White Czar! inteiferest to stop robbery and violence, the Turks are wrong in resist ing thee and representing thy action as hos tile to their faith. It is they that sin againsi 9 the faith by their perverseness.” This is the tone, and almost the language, of all the Mo hammedan addresses recently sent to St, Pe tersburg. TRAiirs have taken possession of St Louis. The Globe-Democrat says the Mayo is required by his official duty to encouragi 0 vagrancy, and the citizens cheertully and al most unanimously take such steps as an best calculated to increase the number o tramps and prevent them from attempting t( earn an honest livlihood. The experience o the police officers is, that while one-half o the householders on their respective beat are complaining of the tramps, the oth er half are feeding them. The true way o looking at the tramp,says the same authority is to regard him as a creature who will no work, and the true interest of society is t( bring every compulsion on him to force hin to work. _ 1 Of late in Europe a sort of ball-dress ha come into fashion, upon which a glitterin] gold and silver dust shines in beauty. Th frp.rman TmnArial TTaalth OffiAA ha<a ?nef nv amined into the matter and found that th El shining of the robes is caused by small am sharp-pointed particles of copper and tin which easily become separated from the ma terial ol the dress and are highly injurious ti jr the skin, into which they work, and especial X ly to the mucous membrane of the lungs, fo the particles are often light enough to be in r- haled. The Board of Health of Lubeck ba a® just issued a strenuous warning to ladies 01 the subject. American women should tah this warning and not fall in with the dange ous fashion. a The climate of Honolulu has changed ver; much for the worse of late years. Formerb l. people slept comfortably on mats out of doors no rain fell during eight or nine months o summer, and consumptives sought the plac for relief. There were no trees in the cit then, and the neighboring valley was a forest Now Honolulu is a beautiful park, the tree; cover the houses, and the valley is as dry am parched as the city used to be. The result i that at the beginning of the year the ther mometer rises to 82 deg. in the shade in th day time and falls to 53 at night. Colds am influenza are frequent, and the future healtl of the city causes grave forebodings. San Fkancisco, following the example o her sister cities in the East, is preparing t place of rural resort for her people. Severa f large lots on the summit of Telegraph nil have been given by private citizens to tht city in order that the same may be formed in to a public park. Work has been diligenth 5 prosecuted for months, and Pioneer Park as it called— will be opened tor popular en joyment early in the summer. The superiority of steamships over sailiug vessels for the transportation of ocean freights is curiously illustrated in the case of the Eng lish steamer Spartan, which left New Yort on Saturday wi th a cargo of .'104,000 gallons of refined petroleum. Her destination is Java, and by going through the Suez Cana she will head off large shipments of oil ot sailing vessels which started in January am February, when the price of of kerosene wai from ten to fifteen' cents per gallon highei than at present. The Spartan is the firsi ocean steamer ever loaded with petroleum and of course carries no passengers. The hard times are j eculiarly hard for th( magazine editors. Those now write whe never wrote before, and those who always wrote now write the more, The manuscripts are piling up in an appalling way, and thi number offered this year is double what i1 was two years ago. Piteous loners accom pany many of the manuscripts, generally thi poorest; not one in twenty is acceptable At the Harper establishment manuscripts fo; the three periodicals come in at the rate o 5,000 or 6,000 yearly. Scribner's Month!} received 3,200 in 1876. Persia expects to be regenerated with thi millions to be taken from the first discoverei gold mine in the country. One of the sbah’i personal attendants found a nugget in thi road near Zenjau, atd learned that one of thi villagers had lor some time been stealthil; digging and purifying the gold. The shal has given the old fellow his native village ii return for his secret, has awarded the attend ant 3000 tourans, or §6000, for the first dis covery, and is already promising the peop'i one year’s revenue, or $8,000,000. The English holders of Egyptian bond! and the contractors for canal work who can not squeeze money from the Egyptian treas ury do not feel pleasant at reading that tbi khedive recently gave a breakfast at whicl every lady present drew from a lottery a mag nificent ring set with brilliants, that a pigeoi match was held, the first prize for which wa a narghileh set with precious stones, and thi guests were all given reserved boxes at thi nnp.ra in t.hp. Avaninp. Art and Music. Rubens' great work, The Feast of Venus iu the Belvidere, at Venua will soon be pro duced in an etching by the well-known artist \V. Unger. The last picture added to the National Gal lery in London is Mr. W. Linton’s Temples c Pa;strum, which, the Atheuae am says “show the ruins of those gigantic structures standicj in the marshy level between the mountain an the sea. Above, dense, huge white cumuli ap pear in the blue firmament; the effect is tha of full sunlight, not very purely or brilliantl; painted, so that in this respect the picture fails and descends almost to the level of a scene.’’ The latest harmony in blue and gold is i peacock room at Prince’s Gate, London, decor ated by Mr. Whistler, the etcher. The patten is taken from the eye of the peacock's featbe and the breast feathers. These two patterns either in blue or gold, are repeated throughou the room. They are spread from the lamp over the ceiling, aud in the cove o the cornice the eye of the feather is Beei running along beneath the small breast featl ers. From the cornice to the dado th wall is painted a flat blue, aud on the end wal is a Urge design of two great peacocks fightinj all painted in gold, and with dashing eyes o real diamond and ruby. Ou the shutters ar painted pairs of large peacocks. The late Joel T. Hart’s group, “The Triumpl of Chastity,” was the result of sixteen year: thought; for nearly that time a selected bloc) of Carrara marble lay untouched of chisel ii his Florence studio, waiting for him to satisf. his conception in the clay. He made constan small changes in the figures, but never touche; the face of the principal figure; that face h had seen many years before in his native Kec tacky, and it became his ideal. The group wa completed about two years a_o and was bougt shortly after by au Knglishman. A writer i the Louisville Courier-Journal says: “It re] resents a female figure, holding iu her hand broken arrow, the last from the quiver of Cupi or Love, upon whom she, conscious uf be strength and purity, gazes down half in pay half iu scorn.” Mr. Hart himself thought h was a greater poet tbau sculptor, though no body else ever shared the idea, aud be has Ief behind a large quantity of his writings, whicl 4V u«o uio 11V nuuiu U?

Dr. Henry Reeve was a clever Englishman who, travelling on the continent in 1805, calle upon Haydn in Vienna and thus described th great composer in his journal which has jm been published: “He received me very civilly lib calls himself a very old man of seventy-fivt bnt he has cot at all the look of so many year: He has some of the infirmities ot age; his hea and his chest trouble him, and at present he i unwell, his nerves are so weak that he can d nothing.

In tho introduction to Cassell’s Leopold Shakespeare Mr. Furnival deals with the plaj and poems iD chronological order. The writi endeavors to bring a fresh element of certainl into that order by noting the links of subjec incident, character, tone, and phrase betwee the plays comiDg next to one another, so as l prove that Shakespeare’s works are, as it weri one continuous serios from “Love’s Labor Loi to Henry tbo Eighth. And as tlie plays au poems are arranged in four divisions so M Furnivall contends that tbo works of eac division fall into smaller groups of plaj specially linked together. Thus, in the fin group of the first period, Love’s Labor Los The Comedy of Errors, and The Midsumms Night’s Dream, are connected by tho corned in all of them turning upon mistaken identity the later group, of ltomeo and Juliet, th Venus, and Lucreco, by the passion and riel f ness of fancy in all: the first gronp of the thir period, Jnlius Caesar, Hamlet, Measnre fa r Measnre, by the unfitness of their hero’s natui to bear the burden laid on it, &c.

Osgood Co. are enabled to give to tho reading public on this side the water this most entertaining and really remarkable auto biography of Miss MartiDeau, which she, al ways methodical and unwilling to let fall upon others work which herself might do, had care fully prepared, leaving literally almost nothing hut the boar ot her death to be tilled io. That she so early, when a mere child, Indeed, pro posed to write her own life, was in some re spects as unfortunate for her as In some very fortuna.e for the world, since it must have tended to that morbid state of self inspection and criticism which, for instance, led her to raDk her infirmities of taiih above tbe facts and consciousnesses of more bealtby organization!. Her childhood was a singularly nervous and uncomfortable period, upon which she looked back as upon a bad morning dream. Her fiist r teal delight seems to have bsen the birth of a little sister; and that largely in the hope of an afforded chance “to watch,” as she then ex pressed it, “the growth of a mind from tbe very beginning,”—herself little inotejthan a baby at tbe time. Full of fears of everything and everybody, she would fly panting lest a wild beast Bhould pursue her, and dreaded at the top of tbe stairs that she might never get to tbe foot; in fact went through all tbe torments that could well watt ou a childhood depressed by nature and by unfavoriDg circumstances. Of 1 youth she declares she had none. Her young womanhood, already passing uoder tbe shadow of her infirmity of deafness, waw of neoessity somewhat cut off from those influences of genial intercouse of which she needed to garner every ray. Three senses were in fact more or less closed avenues—the hearing, the smell and v»ouo, auu, uj builu ucrvuuaues apparently, the sight also was liable to be curiously affected s so that at one time sbo found herself unable to see the ocean that lay close beneath—at another the comet that flamed overhead. Much pity must be felt for all these trials, which she bore i with a full understanding bow great they were. Failing to find that affectionate sympathy for which she longed she set herself with a sort of hard heroism to her fate, working her way by strength of will, from a childhood of miaty superstitions out through a moral code into a brief sunshine of faith, where her restless mind refused to stay loDg in peace. With the period of her yooth the saddest phase of her life passes; as her literary career then opens wide before her, with ever-increas~ f ing press of labors in whose fulfillment she found the great happiness of her existence. Her first enterprise of importance was the si nr plifying the principles of political economy in a series of stories for the nse of the people; and perhaps by these she has been most generally r known at borne and abroad. She tells, with a natural pride, of the pleasure the young Vic toria had in reading these tales, and which among them was her favorite. These tracts were translated into other langnages, and their success was no less a surprise to herself than r to others, drawing forth constant appeals for the aid of her pen in different kindred depert t ments. E Her working powers developed in a marvel l lous degree, and—in (connection with literary and political pursuits—friendships and ac. s qnaintances were formed with nearly all promt. nent characters of the time in England. Here the autobiography affords| perhaps its greatest pleasure to the reader, whether it details Miss Martineau’s successes and enthusiasm in her work; or calls up some of Sydney Smith's droll eries; or Rogers' sharp thrusts; the sensitive j ness of Lord Brougham; the attractions of one t poet; the sad failures of another; the nnder t hand dealing of this politician; the good faith I of that' statesman; or the charge of vanity 3 which she brings at fall length against men in general. Especially lively is the view given of g the coronation, with the side iglimpse at her in t dignation, never to be gottsn over, that she was uopnveu vl tuo iruub s«ab lutfuueu lor ner. I Macaulay, the Hallams—Lard Lyell and Lady i Lyell (to whose womanhood she pays an exqul r site tribute)—Miss Adcin, Mrs. Barbauld, Lord j Jeffrey, Whewell, of whom Sydney Smith said "Science is his strong point; omniscience is hie foible;” Milnes, Bulwer, Leigh Hunt, Mrs. J Somerville, Carlyle, the Brownings—all are seen with the scrutiny of a fearless and keen, if f not always reliable, vision. This gallery of j sketches, filled in after the American tour, with 9 many a strong-lined portrait of the notables of t oar own land, is of great interest; the reader not too much in sympathy perhaps with the t author often to forego the privilege of retaining the convictions previously formed, j The visit of Miss Maitineau to the United 3 States haypened at the time of the early anti 3 slavery agitation. She gave herself up, head 3 and heart, to the abolition cause, running per 3 sonal risks, and making enemies and friends; a passing unhesitating judgments upon meu and 3 measures with the same self-assurance as at a home. Later Ve find this entry in her diary, i "everybody coming round to me on American r' affairs.” This pivoting herself as the centre of 3 movement seems to have been, like Whawell's 3 ••omniscience,” a foible, i The chapter entitled a “Life Sorrow” will hardly secure to Miss Martineau from tho: e cog nizant of the facts in their full bearing, the r sympathy it would bespeak. Her religious 5 faith suffered, as did her body, from au ill nursed childhood. She could deplore Its effects t iu the one case, but not recognize them in the other. She constantly receded deeper into her self for help, persistent to find in her own in i tailed her guiding force. Unless proved by r her reason—whose province she should have known was to approve—she would not re u oetve Revelation. She studied and translated e Comte and classed the Christian religion as one of the mythologies. Her chief charge against; it apparently being that its God was made in the likeness of man, was as ccrions an tnver a sion of ideas as if she had protested against a planet In the heaven being created by its re 3 flection in the stream of water. Indeed her mental vision showed at times the peculiarity 3 which she noted in her physical, when aha avowed herself unable to see the ocean at her feet. She neither had nor wished for a faith 1‘ in a future life. In short she held what baa 0 been called “the shortest creed”—nothing buff 3 what can be understood. Iu this connection esme about the "Life Sorrow”, in the estrange ment from her brother, the Rev. James Mar tinean, upon the publishing of these views in 0 the “Atkinson Letters.” An American clergyman, on being asked 3 recently, “how do you suppose I shall feel 3 when I die?” replied “I suppose you will feel surprise that you have not died,” This sur prise Miss Florence Nightingale evidentl fore l’ saw for her friend Miss Martineau, after whoso n death she wrote “how great will be her sur 0 prise! a glorious surprise! Perhaps with bard ly a change, beyond transposition of the terms 1 “man’ and "woman”, a more complete judg J ment conld hardly be passed upon Miss Mar tineau than that which sho passed upon Bui b wer—“he seems to me to bo a woman of genius 8 enclosed by misadventure in a man's form. If t the liie of his affections had been a natural and 1 fortunate one; and if(which would have been tho r consequence) he had not plnnged over head and ears in the metaphysics of morals,I believ* be wouhl|have made himself a name whicl* 3 might have lasted as long as our literature.” The memoir appended is by Mrs. Maria Chapman, to whose care these literary remain* r were confided by Miss Martineau in the full assurance that devoted friendship wonld fulfil s the task fitly and well. Several illustrations, among them two fine portraits, grace tbeso volumes, which show in all respects the usual fine taste of the publishing house from which they are issued. A Hide to Khiva by Capt.

where he found himself impressed to make the journey because he heard that the Russians would not permit travelers to go there; so back he posted to England, consulted MacGaban and other authorities, secured his outfit and was off to Russia. His trip to Khiva was made in the winter, and excellent opportunities were afforded him for freezing, most of which he neglected. By deceiving the Russian officers he got through to Khiva, saw the Khan who treated him very civilly, remained there three days, and then received a peremptory order to return to St. Petersburg, which he was obliged to do with great promptness. Two excellent maps accompany the book, neatly tucked into pockets in the covers, and fifty pages of appen dix give Colonel Venukoff’s list of routes from Russia to China, which will be useful to any readers who are going that way. The French and English Languages. M. Milsand supports these assertions by a comparison of French with English, which he considers especially calculated to display by contrast the peculiar tendencies of his own lan guage. English, as he describes it, is far from homogeneous in character; it is less the result of any organic growth than of the organic de composition of two forms of speech, the ele ments of which cannot even be united under one system of gramatical rules; but it possesses the creative power of growing languages; it still imposes on those who speak it the necessi ty of creating new terms for every fresh sensa tinn This ia rlnno Kxr affixes, which behave almost like the primary elements of half formed words, not combining with verb or substantive which they are,intend ed to modify, but assuming toward it a tem porary juxtaposition which indicates the more clearly the mental conditions under which the peculiar impression was conceived. A door opens and a dog, a tortoise, a child or a majes tic person comes into the room. A Frenchman sees them enter “bounding,” “crawling” “run ning” or "walking solemnly” as the case may be. For these different kinds of facts he has but one general abstract term which denotes no visible action, and which utters, under the false semblance of a verb,the merely intelligible result to which a thousand different actions may conduce. The Englishman, on the contrary, employs as his verb a word by which the visible act is de scribed, and indicates by a simple prepositiou the Same result, which the ocoasion attaches to it. He says the dog, the tortoise or the child bounds, crawls or runs into the room. Again, instead of the abstract word chercher,which ex presses only one conceivable hope or intention, in view of which we may rummage in our pocket, extend our hand in the dark,' look out of the window, or turn over the leaves of a dic tionary, the Englishman is able and even com pelled to employ, each in its turn, as manv de scriptive verbs as there are acts to be accom plished under the general name of seeking. He says feel for, fumble for, look out for The same descriptive character at taches to Eoglisb adjectives; these denote the sensible effect which the given quality pro duces, while corresponding words in French express purely intelligible types of character which no two minds can conceive in the same manner, but which all minds clotho alike in the one unmeaning word. In short, English ap peals to the imagination, French exclusively to the intellect. The one reflects thought in its subjective condition, the other expresses only its objective results. The one is a supple medi um for all spontaneous and individual emotion, and the other is a legal mask under which all such emotion ,is concealed. German, of course shares with English this elasticity, which is an essential feature of Teutonic languages; it even surpasses it in the power of raising sensuons images by means of abstrac terms. The words Unnbhangig Zufallig Unanstandig, for instance, while expressing an abstract idea, recall more strongly still the material impression from which it is derived. The speech of an English man and a German is like that of the ancient Greeks, “full of phrases, the meaning of which it is impossible to understand,” which affect the mind as so many impressions of sight or bearing, or so many stirrings of spontaneous thought.—Contemporary Review.

No full and accurate view of the questions connected with the Christian subjects of Turkey can be obtained without taking into account the dualism that subsists among them, as between Hellene and Slav. They are sharers in a com mon religion and this bond of sympathy is primary. They are also sharers in their snffer i ngs; but they are to some extent rivals n their dreams. Between them, they conceive them selves to have the heirship of eastern Europe, and have some tendency to clash about the in heritance before the day of possession has ar rived The Slav is stronger in numbers; the Hellene feels that, during the long and rough night of the great calamity, the remaining gen ius of bis race supplied the only lamps of light which flickered in the storm and in the gloom. As between Hellene and Turk, the czar has borne the aspect of a champion; as between Hellene and Slav, he has rather the position of a possible adversary; and all the circumstances of the present moment accentuate ana sharpen the outlines of that position. Only when the place of advocate has been altogether vacant, has the Hellenic race been disposed to give to Russia that position. The prospect of Russian predominance in the Levant is just as oppres sive to their rising hopes, as that of a Greek empire at Constantinople is distasteful even to tbe mighty and wide ruling emperor of all the Russians.—Gladstone in Contemporary Review.

It would give the President great pleasure to confer with you in person, if you shall find it convenient to visit Washington, and shall concur with him in thinking such a conference the readiest and best mode of placing your views as to the po XIbii/ui ouurtiiuu IU JUU1 ouato UCiviC 111lli. lit would greatly prefer the direct communication of opinion and information to any other meth od of ascertaining your views upon the present condition and immediate prospect of public interests in South Carolina.

It is the earnest desire of the President to be able to put an end, as speedily as possible, to all appearance of intervention of the military authority of the United States in the political arrangements wbieh affect the government and affect the people of South Carolina. In this desire the President cannot doubt that he truly represents the patriotic feeling of the great body of ti e people of the United States. It is impossible that the protracted disorder in the domestic government of any state can or should ever fail to be a matter of lively interest aDd solicitude to the people of the whole coun try. In furtherance of the prompt and safe execution of this general purpose, be invites a full communication of your opinions on the whole subject, in such one of the proposed forms as may seem to you most useful.

BANK BOBBERY. The Book-keeper of the Brooklyn Bank Steels $160,000—The Thief Caught and the dlonev Recovered. New York, March 23.—The robbery of the Brooklyn Bauk was announced to-day The amount involved was 8100,000, of which all but about $40,000 was recovered, and the guilty rnau is in custody. It appears that the bank directors lately reduced the salaries generally including that of book-keeper Geo. L. Whit ing from $2200 to $1500. The loss of $700 a year affected him keenly, and he determined by a single strike to make himself master of the situation. His plan was to abstract from the funds of i the bank a large amount of convertible funds and then wait an apportunity to effect a com- i promise with tne bank officials that should i [dace him in a position of mdefieneeuce. Ac- 1 cordingly last Wednesday afternoon while i alone in the bank for a short time he opened I the vaults, having acquainted himself with the i combination and the lock, »nd abstracted over i 8100,000 in negotiable bills, and about $00,000 1 in money. He tied the plunder up iu a paper ind soon after the return of a fellow clerk left die bank. The theft was discovered yesterday morning i ind by means of a “personal” in today’s Uer ild affecting to agree to a proposition left by Whiting for a compromise. He was taken in ocustody. On his person were found all the legotiable bills, $18,000 in money. At a late hour this afternoon Whiting, the lefauliing bookkeeper, confessed that the missing $40,000 was concealed in a closet in a room at Van Dyke’s house, corner of Bayard street and the Bowery, New York, where the f letectives proceeded and found it. 1 i iUBTBOKUI.W«41CA£i INDICATIONS FOR THE NEXT TWENTY-FOUR HOURS.

Shot at Mountain Meadow yesterday. Another Statement of the Massacre. Salt Lake, March 23.—John D. Lee wa9 shot at Mountain Meadow at 11 o’clock to-day. At 11 a. m. precisely, Lee was brought out upon the scene of the massacre at Mountain Meadows before the executing party, and seated on his coffin about twenty feet from the shooters. After the order of the Court was read to him and the company present by Mar shal Kelson, Lee made a speech of about 500 words, bitterly denouncing Brigham Young, and calling himself a scapegoat for the sins of others. He hoped that God would be merciful. He denied that he was guilty of bloodshed to the last, and maintained that his mission to the Meadows was one of mercy. After his speech Parson Stokes (Methodist) made a prayer com mending the soul of the condemned man to God. Immediately after a handkerchief was placed over Lee’s eyes. He raised his hands and placed them on the|top of liis bead, sitting firm. Nelson gave the word fire, and exactly at 11 o’clock five guns were fired, penetrating his body in the region of the heart. Lee fell square back upon the coffin dead. Death was instantaneous. The body was placed in the coffin, and the crowd diapersed. There were about seventy-five persons all told on the ground, but not a child or relative there. The best of order prevailed, and all pronounced the execution a success. Lee’s last words to Nelson “aim my heait. The body is now passing to uo fcuvu iu uio tomvifto nv vcuai vmj. After Marshal Nebon had concluded the reading of the order of the court, at 10.35 a. m. he asked Lee if be had anything to say before the execution was carried into effect. Lee requested the photographer, who was preparing to make pictures of the execution, to Bend a photograph to each of his three wives. He then made a brief speech, and, alluding to Brigham Young, said: “I used to make this man’s will my pleasure and did so for thirty years. See how and what I have come to this day! I have been sacrificed in a cowardly, dastardly manner. There are thousands ot Eeople in the church, honorable and good carted, that I cherish in my heart. I regret to leave my family. They are near and dear to me. These are things to rouse my sympathy. I declare that I did nothing designedly wrong in this unfortunate affair. I did everything in my power to save all the emigrants, but 1 am one that mast suffer. HaviDg said this, I feel resigned. I ask the Lord my God to extend his mercy to me and receive my spirit. My labors are here done.” Important Document from tec, New York, March 23.—A document of sev eral columns certified to by G. S. District At torney Howard as having been written by John D. Lee, is furnished tonight. The main points different ftom that published yesterday, are that Lee did everything in his power to avert the slaughter of the emigrants at Moun tain Meadow, incurring thereby the displeasure of the beads of the Mormon church at the sol emn council which ordered the slaughter. After agreeing in council to lure the emigrants from their train by a flag of truce and pretend to be friendly to them, to save them from the Indians who had twice previously attacked them. The programme was carried out. He says that he and McMurdy were in charge of the wagons in which were seventeen children and five wounded men. Samuel McMurdy, councillor to Bishop P. K. Smith (Klinglin Smith,) drove out on the lead. His wagon had the seventeen children, clothing and arms. Samuel Knight drove the other team with the five wounded men and one boy about 15 years old. I walked behind the front wagon to di rect the course and to shun beiog in the beat of the slaughter. But this I kept to myself. When we got fairly turned to the east i mo tioned to McMurdy to steer north across the valley. I at the Bame time told the women who were next to the wagon to follow the road up to the troops which they did. Instead of saying to McMurdy not to drive so fast as lie swore on my trial, I said to the contrary to drive on as my aim was to get out of sight be fore the firiDg commenced, which we did. We were about one-half mile ahead of the compa ny when we heard the first firing. We had to drive over a ridge of rolling ground and on a low flat. Thn fl pin rr mao a i rn nllnn.mn.-i nl.-,vt/v> a nrltnln line. The moment the firing commenced McMurdy halted and tied his lines across the rod of his wagon box, stepped down coolly with a double barrelled shot gun and walked back to Knight’s wagon, who had the wounded men, and was about twenty feet in the rear. As he raised his piece he said, “Lord my God for it is for tbe Kingdom of Heaven sake that we do this,” filed, and killed two men, Samuel Knight had a muzzle loading rifle, and he shot and killed three men, and then struck the the wounded boy on the head who fell dead. In the meantime I drew a five shooter lrom my belt which accidentally went off cutting across MoMcrdv a buckskin pants in front, be low the crotch McMurdy said: “Brother Lee you are excited. Take things cool. You was near killing me. Look wheie tho ball cut,” pointing to the place in his pants. At this moment I beard the scream of a child. I looked up and saw an Indian have a little boy by the hair of his head dragging him out of the wagon, with a knife in his hand, getting ready to cut his throat. I sprang for the In dian with my revolver in hand, and shouted at the top of my voice, “Arick ooma cat too sooet, stop you fool.” The child was terror stricken. His chin was bleeding and I sup posed it was the cut of a knife, but afterwards learned it was done on the wagon box as the Indian yanked the boy down by the hair of the head. I had no sooner rescued this child than another Indian seized another little girl by the hair. I rescued her. As soon as I could speak I told tbe Indians they must not hurt the children. That I would die before they should be hurt. That we would buy the children. Be fore this time the Indians had* rushed up around the wagons in quest of blood and had dispatched the two runaway wounded men. I would say that if my shooter had not prema turely exploded I would have had a hand in dispatching the five wounded. I had lost con trol of myself and scarce knew what I was about. I saw an Indian pursue a little girl who was fleeing. He caught her about 100 feet from the wagon and plunged his knife through her. I said to McMurdy that he had better drive the children to Hamblin’s ranebe and give them some nourishment while I would go down and get my horse at the camp. Passing along the road 1 saw the dead strung a distance of one-half mile. The women and children were killed by tbe Indians. When I came to the men they lay abont a rod apart. Here I came up with Bishop Smitb, Higbee and the rest of the company, as I came up Higbee said to me, “let us search these persons for valuable,” and asked me to assist him. He gave me a hat to hold. Several men were already engaged in searching the bodies, I replied that I was unwell and wanted to get upon my horse and go to the ranebe and nurse myself. My request was granted. Reaching Hamblin’s ranche, being heart sick and worn out, I lay down on my saddle and blanket and slept, and knew but little of what passed during the night. Tbe next morning when all hands returned to tbe scene of slaughter to bury the dead, the bodies were all in a nuae state, the Indians through the night having stripped them of every vestige of clothing. Many of the parties were laughing and talking as they carried the bodies to the ravine for burial. They were just covered over a little, but did not long remain so, for the wolves dug them up, and after eating the flesh from them, the bones laid upon the ground till buried some time after by a government military officer.

New York, March 23.—A letter from Boze man, Montana, says the Sioux warriors are main on the war path, and there is a prospect >f sharp times this spring. They have been hreatenlDg the Crows, who have asked help o protect their ageny and a considerable force if cavalry has been sent there. A letter from Tubea, Arizona, says the Apaches are raiding at will in the territory, ind that Gov. Safford’s request for aid from Jen. Ivoutz was met by retusal and insult. Gov. Salford states that on the 4th of Febru iry a band of Apache Indians, numbering ibout 50, attacked the settlers in the Senorita alley, and before the messenger, Wm. Mor :an, had left the scene of slaughter, had killed en or more persons and had taken most of he stock in the valley. Whether auy of the nhabitants of the valley have escaped remains i o be seeD. Previously to this attack and vithin the last six months, at least twenty lersons have been murdered In southeastern Arizona, and a large amount of property taken ,nd destroyed. FOREIGN. GERMANY. Serious Riot Feared. London, March 23.—A Berlin special says: i Apprehensions of rioting ate so serious that xtensive precautionary measures are proposed y the police. On Thursday morning a caval y regiment was in readiness to assist in quell- j □g any trouble. i Foreign Notes. Six forts were recently built around Trent f nd several others erected near the frontier. It is reported that the Russian army received c be projected mobilization very coldly. It is reported that consul Sobnyler is in diffi- ulty with the Washington authorities conse uent upon h's exposition of the Turkish atro- i ities. The grand national steeple chase was won by i msterlitz. The decision of peace or war really rests i ith Montenegro and Turkey. The Russian overnment cannot influence the Prince of lontrenegro beyond a certain point, because e can appeal to a greater power than the gov- t rument, namely, the Russian people. s t FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Because they have not made this disease the study ol a Iile-time, as did old Dr. Hinder, a distinguished German Prolessor, who has probably spent more time over this intricate complaint than auy person on the globe. Reflect tor a moment, use your Good sense, and remember that the or igin of Catarrh is in a COMMON COLD, Which one Box of the great remedy, RIDERS’ German Snuff, Would have quickly cured. Now what are the symptoms of Catarrh? They commence with a sense of irritation about the nasal organs which, if not allayed with GERMAN SNUFF, after a short time extend to the throat. As you lia down at night and fain would sleep and rest the weary brain. HORRIBLE TO SAT, The Secretions of the Head PASS TO THE LUNGS. Causing these delicate organs to be impregnated with CATARRHAL POISON. In the morning you arise with a dull, heavy feel ing about the bead and extreme nausea at the stom ach you can eat nothing with a relish, to work is a task, as you have that dull pain and sense of op pression which demonstrates the fact that CATARRH HAS SECURED A VICTIM. Now when you realize this fact, do not get frlgbt end and run and pay live or ten dollars for worthless advice, bnt invest just 35 cents in a box 01 RiEDERS’ German Snuff, Use it according to directions, and a cure is war ranted. PEOPLE OF NEW ENGLAND. Beware of this bane of the age; do uot be cut down in the prime of life a.il hurried to the grave. Remember Catarrh cansrs Consumption, and by the use of this reme dy you will certainly be cured. MEN AND WOMEN, We mean you who are troubled with these com plaints, alas! common, such as Partial Paralysis, Neuralgia of the Head, Dim Vision, Loss oi Energy. Lose no lime to rid yourself of what in time will kill you. lor all of the above are the results of ne glected Catarrh. MOTHERS! MOTHERS We beg of you do not give your little ones Worm Medicine when they complain of being “stufted up. No, no! they have what is far worse and more dan gerous tha a myriad of worms. They have INFANTILE CATARRH Which when neglected, and their bodies are placed in a horizontal position, leads very oiten to what is known as SUDDEN CROUP, which in nine cases out ol ten cannot be cured, and you behold your loved one die before your eyes. Mothers, always keep on hand a box ol RfEDER’S i Garman Snuff For pale everywhere. Price only 35 cents. SMITH DOOLITTLE SMITH, 26 Tremont Street, Boston Agents, for U.

CITY AFFAIRS. Special Meeting of tbc City Council. A special meeting of the City Council ws held last evening. The rumor got abroad th: the police were to be appointed, and there ws a very large attendance of spectators. As was the salaries occupied the attention of bot boards until a late hour. The report of th committee was not very popular, and the chai: man was the first to move an amendment t the bill they reported. As the result there i not but little reduction from the salaries of lae year. BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN. F. W. Lawrence was granted permission t erect modern buildings on Cross street.

Petitions Presented end Referred—Of Free man Smith for compensation for damage sustained by his wife falling on the sidewall on Oak street; of James P. Baxter et als fo the continuatiou of the Mellen street sewer t a proper outlet; of Fernald, Sawyer et al that the ordinance in relation to the fees fo weighing hay be amended so as to make th fee thereof twenty cents per load; of O B Whitten and 153 others for the placing of i gas lamp on Congress street in trout of Odst Gardiner, from which place she went to Lt-wistou to work in the fac tory. She first met Bonney at Daley’s house, where she boarded. Duley had told her that be knew a man in Auburn (meaning Bonney) and woull talk to him about her. That seems to have brought about the meeting, for the next week she was introduced to him at her board ing place He invited her to take a ride and they d-d so, on two or three occasions, going ov®r his place and riding about Lewiston and Auburn. He would call at her boarding bouse weekly, and sometimes oftener, and to gether they would go to her sister’s where they were accustomed to sit alone in tbo sittiug room, theirest of the family having gone to bed, or withdrawn to the kitoben, anu these visits were often prolonged into the small hours of the morning. She made him presents of a linen pocket handkerchief, cuffs, cuff buttons and two pairs of stockings. At New Yeat e, ’74, Bonney made her a present of a ten lollar bill. One night Bonney said be thought they had been going together long enough to be married and asked her to become his wife She had beard that hs was a good man and consented. He wanted the marriage to come off before Thanksgiving, but she told him than she had a good deal of sewing to do, and didn’t koow as she could get ready by that time. But it was finally fixed that they should be married at Biddeford, in November. Miss Grover bought bedding, a web of sheeting, and other articles in preparation for housekeeping, made her in tended husband bis wedding shirts and pre sented them to him. He told her that be was getting his wedding suit made at the best tailor a in Lewiston, ana tuat it would cost him forty-five dollars. She saw him after the engagement. He took her out to a farm he owned in Lewiston, and they talked pleasantly of the happy hours in store for them. At this time Miss Grover was called away to West Gardiner, to tbe bedside of her sick mother. Bonney consented to her going, with the under standing that a correspondence sbonld be kept up. She wrote him afterwards, asking him if be wanted her to go to Lewiston and be mar ried, but there was no response. She wrote still again, informing him that she would be at Lewiston on tbe 23d of December, and asked him to meet her at tbe depot. But no answer came, and Bonney did not appear at the depot. She found him in the city, and talked over the engagement, but he said his house was in poor condition, and tbe event was postponed until spring. She went from Lewiston to Biddelord, but although she afterwards wrote several times, the correspondence on his part ceased. Several other witnesses were called, who corroborated these statements. THE SUIT WITHDRAWN. Augusta, March 23. The breach of promise case of Margaret A. Grover of Gardiner against Ebenezer S. Bon ney of Lewiston was withdrawn from the jury to-day and privately settled. STATE NEWS. LINCOLN COUNTY Mrs. Mary, wife of Capt. Henry Fossett who was with Commodore Tucker on board the sloop Increase when he captured the Crown, a British privateer during tlie war of 1812, died in Bristol the 12th inst, at tbe age of 82 years. Mr. Geo. Duley, postmaster at Parker’s Head at the mouth of the Kennebec, saw, just before sunrise Tuesday morning, a meteor about the size of a man’s head leave the heavens a little northwesterly of the zenith and descend in the same angle, tbe meteor growiog larger as it appr ached the eaith. At first it was of a brilliant rtd then appeared more like the light of a common candle. ANDROSCOGGIN COUNTY. Mr. Edmund Chase of Minot, who was 91 years of age December last, was made a Mason in Newburyport, ftiass., in Dec 1807, passed and raised in April 1809, making him a Mason nearly seventy years, and a Master Mason six ty-uiue years. He retains his faculties of tJind and body to a remarkable degree. Tbe shipments of boots and shoes from Au burn tbe past week have been 2140 cases, ex ceeding the shipments of any previous week for nearly two years. f'TT'M'tlT7T?T. A VTl PAITVTV A little daughter of G. K. Hanson of Casco, aged 5 years, recently met with a serious and probably fatal accident. While sitting near a stove in a’arge rocking chair sho accidently pitched forward and overturned a kettle of hot water, fearfully scalding her face, arms, and in fact nearly the entire portion of the body in front. PISCATAQUIS COUNTY. Quite a large number of young men are emi grating from Piscataquis county to the West several going to California, Miss Minnie Everett of Dover, was lately severely injured by jumping from a sleigh on to the bard, icy road, striking on her head. The horse was running away. President Giddings and Superintendent Brown of the Bangor and Piscataquis railroad, on the evening of the loth, met the citizens of Greenville at the Eveleth House in that place and held a conference to see in regard to ex tending the road to Moosehead Lake at an early day. The principal question discussed was the feasibility of the two routes, one leading to West Cove and,,the other to Greenville. Major Strickland of Bangor, favored the former The gentlemen of Greenville, however, strongly urged that the latter offered the most decided advantages. WASHINGTON COUNTY. The house of Charles W. Cox near Eastport was burned Wednesday evening. Loss about $700; no insurance. Calais refused to vote $90,000 in aid of the extension of the St. Croix and Penobscot rail road. The Insurance Investigation. The examination of the Life Insurance com panies as it is conducted seems to us to be accomplishing little of real value. The object to be attained should in a word be to find out how the officers of the companies earn their money, not what amount of money they earn. This is for the directors to ascertain and dis cuss. But looking at the examination a3 it is con ducted the result so far as it has gone is credit able to the companies, for the facts asked by the committee have been furnished in a de tailed and satisfactory manner. The salaries paid to the officers of the several companies seem large at first, but when we consider that tuesu men assume immeuse respuusumiues, and control great interests requiring a business ability and industry that would command a large compensation in any vocation, the amount does not seem more than adequate. Of course the most noticeable salaries are those of Mr Winston and Mr. Hyde. These men make Life Insurance their business and their liveli hood, and do not bold their positions alone for honor or influence, and while we do not in apy sense intend to defend these gentlemen, we speak of them especially as examples of the presidents and principal officers of all banks and insurance companies incorporated under the laws of the Btate, whose affairs are very likely,|in the excited state of the times, to be investigated. Such great trust corporations must be suc cessfully managed, and must have officers of the highest ability, aud if a competent busi ness man is induced to devote his time and skill to the business of these corporations, be must receive a sufficient salary, and one in proportion to what is made by other experi enced men of recognized skill in the professions or in business. Regarded from this point of view these salaries are not exorbitant, and the service rendered will strike most business men as a full equivalent. Certainly very few would consent to build up a business of their own and accept responsibilities of the magnitude of a great corporation, like the Equitable Life Insurance Company for instance, and get a return of a less amount on the average than $29,000 a year. The thousands of persons who are interested in these corporations, and who desire to have their affairs under the control of competent men, will not find anything to alarm them in the facts thus far brought out. What they arc interested in is the service rendered for the salaries, and that is judged by the result. The “Forest Tar Soap” is the purest, softest and best for the toilet and nursery.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs are Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck’s Sea Weed tonic, and Schenck’s Mandrake Pills. and, if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy cure is effected. To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary diseases. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy expectora tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough will throw it off, tne patient has rest and the lungs begin to heal. To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved. Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alterative; the alkali of which it is composed, mixes with the food and prevents souring. It assists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a healthy condition, so that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the patient will surely get well if care is taken to pre vent fresh cold. All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either per sonally or by letter, can do so at his principal office, corner of Sixth and ARcn Sts., Philadelphia, every Monday. Schenck’s medicines are sold by all druggistB throughout the country. maleod&w2msn m m m. a ^m. a a mm mm a KIU uLUVtb I Fourth Iiot.

POETRY. The One True Christ, BY JOHN W. CHADWICK. 4lLo, here!” they cry, “Lo. here!” “Lo, there!” Each certain that he knows the place Where he reveals his presence fair, The matchless beauty of his face. And bo again I travel o’er. In ever vain and fruitless search. The barren Helds where oft before I sought in vain the one true Church. The Christ which here demands my vow Is not the one which tbeie appears; These to a shape of terror bow, Those have their images of fear. And ever where the creeds abide, And whore the priestly foot has trod, I find more faith in one who died Than in the ever-livin' God. Forget, my soul, the noisy street, The priest that mumbles at bis slirine; For thee the scholar’s calm retreat, For thee the Christ of critics line. Alas l the wise men do not kneel To-day, as in the days ol old. And at the self-same altar yield Their gilts more precious far than gold. One says that Matthew’s simple tale Contains the image that I seek; Another, that I cannot fail To find him where the mystic Greek. Incarnate in the mind ot John, Made strange the great Apostle’s speech, And placed the well-beloveu Son For ever out of human reach. Another thinks with glorious Paul That Christ a spirit was—a life; That charity is more than all, And worse than vanity the strife. Ot those that cry, “I am of Paul!” And these that shout, “Of Cephas 1!” Forgetting that we stand or fall By faith in love as God most high. And still another thinks that he The Christ ol the Apocalypse, Returning out of heaven, shall see, With vengeance breathing from Ilis lips. The one true Chri9t I seek in vain; The Church of now, the Bible old, Are dumb in answer to my pain; The Father’s hearts have long been cold. But, in bis writtep words, I see Great Origen his forehead lean Upon a Christ that cannot be The Christ that haunted* Augustine. Then speaks my heart within ray breast, Which from the first had made its moan That I should be so ill at rest. And feel myself so mucu alone: ‘Why longer urge thy fruitless search The one true Christ thou shalt not find Until thou seek him in his church, All beautiful, within thy mind. “His temple is the human soul; He dwelleth ever more within; The harmonies of heaven roll For him whose life is free from sin. “Be free from foolish hates and fears, The love of ease, the love of pelf, And all the Christs of all the years Shall lead thee nearer to thyselt. “The highest word that is for thee Awaits thee in no distant laud; Thy deepest mood shall ever be By thee obeyed as God’s command. “Not farther off, but farther in— Such is the nature of thy quest; They heaven find who heaven win; Tne one true Christ is in thy breast.” iFrom Blackwood’s Magazine Lady Adelaide—-A Study. “Dear! Did you really How clever!” “I can put up with everything about her but that ‘How clever'.’ cried Elizabeth, when the lady had departed. “It always comes out in the same tone, and with tbe same emphasis. Whatever one does, it it be but the veriest trifle, something that even a Lady Adelaide could accomplish herself with out ,too much trouble, it is sure to obtain that all-embracing epithet. I do not believe her vocabulary could Bupply any other note of admiration. She never rises above it and never falls below. When she heard that Cap tain Webb had swum across the Channel, and that I had worked a crochet antimacas sar, she said of us both, ‘How clever!’ Her friend laughed. “Is it not provoking, Anne?” “Provoking? perhaps, if it were worth be ing provoked abont.” “You think it is not But you don’t know till you have been tried. I had rather en dure one good sword-cut and have done with it, than be the victim of a thousand lancet pricks. How often did you hear that little soft ejaculation during the last half hour? Be on your honor, Anne.” “More than once. I confess.” “And you had noticed it?” “Yes, I had.” “Well, was it not, as I said, called forth by great and small, somethings and nothings, alike? Was it not a most absurd comment, most promiscuously applied, by a most stupid woman? Come, Anne, join me; it will do you good, or, if not, it will do me good to hoar it. Say what you think, you prudent Anne; confess, break forth, you fountain of wisdom, and overflow your banks like Jor dan You had noticed it, you had felt it all the time, and yet you shake your head, you knit your brpws Oh, I fear you not; I shall say my say and moan my moan, and none shall stop me. See, I am the better for it all ready. I have not—upon my word, I have not felt so charitably disposed towards the poor dear lady for a long time.” Anne smiling—“That does you credit, surely. The prick of a pin stirs up this tem pest, and the tempest subsides with the same show of reason wherewith it rose. A storm in a tea-cup, Lizzie. Much ado abont—” “Not nothing—not nothing, you tiresome creature; you will not surely pretend to de clare that It is nothing?” “You will not surely venture to affirm that it is something?” “I affirm it and maintain it, Anne,” “Then you are a little—foolish, dear.” “And you are a very great deal—exasperat ing, darling.” Anne smiles, Elizabeth laughs. The door opens, and a footman with uncertain, bewil dered steps, approaches the upper end of the room. “Mv lady’s gloves, ma’am. Under the sofa, or on the mantel-piece, or on the floor.” “The locality being so precisely described, he cannot fail to find them immediately,” ob serves his mistress, aside. “Look on the piano, William.” On the piano the gloves are discovered, and carried off, doubled up on a salver. “Now it will be,‘How clever!’ to have found them so quickly! and with more grounds for saying so than usual,” continued Mrs. Tresham, with curled lip. “Anne, you might have pity upon me. What may De amusing in a friend Is torture from a relation. If Lady Adelaide could only be metamor phosed into an ordinary acquaintance—a neighbor even, though not too near at hand —how joyfully would i engage her in conver sation, nor dream of attempting to clear a single cobweb off her brains 1” “You would simply despise her more than ever.” “No, no, no; at least I think not.” “You would.” “And have you no compassion Yet I would grieve irom my heart if you should ever have the misfortune to be tacked onto a —Lady Adelaide. What can I say more? Yet I defy you, even you, my mentor, to twist anything uudutiful or disrespectlul out of such a tame conclusion, such a paltry cli max.” Anne, gravely—“She is a very kind-hearted woman.” “So she is.” “And you have no fault to find with her, save that she calls you clever?” “Clevar, not clever. You missed the ac cent, dear.” “Is that her only fault?” perseveres Anne. •‘Hum I I did not say so; I did not go so far as that. Her only great fault, perhaps her only perpetual, ever-recurring fault.” “She has no other that you cannot con done?” “Is not this enough I began years ago by being called a clever child, then I was a clev er girl, and now I am a clever woman. I was tired of the word before I bad ever seen Lady Adelaide; now I am perfectly sick of it.” “After all, Lizzie, what a baby you are!” “A baby, if you like. I have no objection at all to being called a baby. Nice, little, soft, fluffy thiogs, made to be petted and kissed But the other is a term of abuse, a positive insult.” “Nonsense I” “It is, so applied, by such lips. Nay, Anne, sweet Anne, frown not so seriously. It spoils thy dimples, Anne, contorts the brow, and distorts the mouth. I say it again, again, again; I will not be called a ‘clever’ woman.” Anne—“One might be called a worse thing.” Elizabeth, confidentially—“But, good Anne, one word. Were you ever tired of be ing called pretty

Lady Adelaide and her new niece’were, as may have been gathered by the foregoing dia logue, perhaps as ill suited to each other as it was possible for any two people to be. Elizabeth, a gay, triumphant bride, in the heyday of her charms, little disposed to toler ate anything contemptible and ridiculous, was seriously disturbed by finding in the relation who of all her newly acquired kindred stood nearest to her, one who was a perpetual source of mortification. Yet Lady Adelaide was all that a fine lady had any need to be. She was cheerful, geutle, and indolent; in clined to patronize bazaars and work-parlies —her young friends in general, aud Elizabeth in particular. Her nephew’s wife was quite charming—so lively, so clever. It was only a pity they did not see more of each other. John used to be in and out con tinually—the Priory had been quite his home; but that could not be expected now. The young people were sure to be so much sought after they would be such acquisitions in any society that of course their engagements must be numerous. And then dear Elizabeth was so accom plished, had so many resources—not an idle body like her old aunt who had time to run about and bore all her neighbors. Behind backs Lady Adelaide was as chari table as her niece was merciless. “Elizabeth thinks she’s a born fool,” quoth John. “John 1 I never used such an expression in my life!” “Do you think so?” Now Elizabeth did. John, for his part, was rather fond of his aunt. She was Invariably kind and good-humored and more he did not expect from her; indeed her foibles were so far from being an anuoy ance to him, that it may be questioned whether he would not have missed some thing out of his life if Lady Adelaide bad grown sensible. With Elizabeth, of course, it must be differ ent. No softening influences of association could deaden her feelings, no early impressions of awe hold her senses still in check. Lady Ad elaide broke upon her mature vision with all the shock of a novelty, and unfortunately that vision was only too acute. Elizabeth could be magnanimous, she could pardon, but she could never fail to see. “What would you have?” cried John. “She is good-looking and good-tempered, and never said an unkind word of anyone in her life. She is the most popular woman in the neighborhood.” “Then I shall be the most unpopular.” “Very likely.” “You won’t ask me why It is because we are the very antipodes of each other in every respect.” “So you are. I like you best, but you will find that mine is not the general opinion.” “Most people will like Sir Walter a great deal better than you.” “That is a fact, again.” “Well?” “Well?” “I don’t care for the opinion of most peo ple.” “Neither do I.” “And if everybody in the 'world were to say so, they would never convince me that you were not worth a hundred Sir Walter’s and—” “Go on.” “That I am not worth a thousand Lady Adelaides. “Ha! ha! so I think. But, little one, clever as you are, there is one thing you can not do—and that is, argue.” How came John always to have the best of it? Chatter as she might, this quick-witted and high-spirited girl was as devotedly sub ject to her sober-minded husband as any wife ever was in this world before. It was evident she was a happy bride. Contentment beamed in her lively dark eye; and the ing of her quick firm footstep, the snatches of song which broke forth at in tervals through the little house, the pleasure she took in her pretty possessions, the glory in her small achievements, all spoke of the satisfaction of a heart at rest. Still the dead fly in the ointment was there, small though it was. That fly—would any one have guessed it ?—was Lady Ade laide. On the day succeeding that which witness ed the little ebullition above narrated, Eliza beth was busy with her hyacinths, when the barouche from the Priory swept up the modest drive, and her aunt in February furs and velvet bonnet alighted. “My dear, I came early, I know you will excuse it; how sweet,how delicious this room is. All from the hyacinths? Yes? Your un cle and I hope that you and jonn—so lull or sun too, charming, quite charming! We must have some people you know, my dear, to meet you; aDd perhaps Thursday, week— take care, my love, the new carpet! water pot drippings may have paint in them. Ob, there are drops on the velvet table, too 1 your handkerchief? Ab, yes, quite dry! no harm done. But my dear, will that day suit you No other engagement?” “We have no engagements at all, thank you.” “Not yet? no?really?” Elizabeth brought one of her glasses into the ray of sunlight. The young couple had not been settled in their new home above a fortnight; it was natural to suppose that their evenings might be still at liberty. Nor did Lady Adelaide feel the slightest degree of astonishment. It was sbe who ought to introduce her niece. It was at their house Elizabeth must make her first appear ance, and she had only been waiting for Sir Walter to recover from his last attack of the gout to issue her cards. Sbe calculated that by [the day fixed on he would be well enough to receive his guests; and though Elizabeth had been duly waited on by the principal neighboring lamilies, it was only now that she might begin to expect the inevitable in vitations. Thus although she cried “Not yet? no? really?” with all due fervor and impres siveness, her unmoved countenance betrayed that she exclaimed by rote. “Slav we consider that fixed theD, my dear?”' “Oh, certainly, Aunt Adelain, very happy. John—” “You will ask John Quite right, so right. Always consult your husband’s wishes. And you will let us know? But you will accept nothing else for that evening?” “I beg your pardon. I am sure, I know I may answer for John; he is always glad to go to the Priory, so would certainly wish me to say yes at once. I was only going to say he is out this morning” “So sorry to miss him, but you were the person I came chiefly to see. And you really say yes That is charming 1 then I can send Thomas round at once. So thoughtful of you, my love, if you are quite sure John will not mind for of course it does make a dif ference to know. One ought to try to get to gether the right people to meet each other. But how can one if you are unable to fix the day?” reasoned the lady wisely. “Yes, certainly, you may depend upon us.” “Oh, and Miss Chorley, that charming, beautiful friend of yours, of course we include her: or must I ought I not to write her a separate invitation? Undoubtedly I ought. You think not really “She left us this morning, thank you.” “Dear! this morning! Is it possible?” Now Anne had arrived on a week’s visit, the week had expired, and she had departed —what more could be said Anne had her self informed Lady Adelaide of the duration of her stay; and Elizabeth, alive to everything remembered having heard the same “13 it possible?” on the subject a few days be fore. “Then I need not write?” Plainly not. “But we should have been to glad, so pleased to have seen her, and of course a special invitation—and my dear Elizabeth, your white satin,—you won’t mind, will you, juob iuio uutci uu nauci uuca utvc iu yt3 UlU* fashioned, you know, and a bride out of white satin—” “Would be a queen without a crown? Very well, Aunt Adelaide, white satin it shall be; wreath and veil too, I suppose?” “My dear! But you are only in jest. Or ange-blossom, you know, is quite inadmissi ble except upon the day- quite. Your maid must take it off the dress even. You know that? yes? And my love, your music you will bring your music and your drawinins; some of those foreign sketches you took last autumn, so bright and pretty; and—and—” “Pray, nothing more this time. My music I will bring*, but the sketches are on such a very small scale, surely there will be some one among the guests more fitted tn exhibit than I?” “My dear, how can you say so! Every one admires them exceedingly—so spirited, so clever I” Elizabeth started, the obnoxious epithet settled the question; nothing should induce her to be shown off to her aunt’s guests. But when the time came, Lady Adelaide was not to be foiled, The portfolio, to be sure was not at hand, but it existed: and she could still whisper in audible asides “Sketches too,charmingly—charmingly. Hall absolute ly amazed. Lord Guelder, quite the best amateur last season, came on purpose to see them. I assure you he did. Came all the way to Kensington. So accomplished! So clever.” Other niece could catch: “A sweet place, the Cottage; is it not? And she has made it so pretty, so fresh and bright. Nice new furniture, birds and flow ers—quite a genius in arranging flowers— and all the little elegant knick-knacks put about. Shows such taste in everything.” Or, “Are you a worker, my dear? You must get my niece to show you her embroid ery—that new kind of work, you know in wools. All done from nature, I assure you, every stitch of it. What can be the name of it? Elizabeth, my love, what is the name of that beautiful wool-work you do all from na ture? Miss de Bury is longing to see it.” Elizabeth could not forgive her. “I am helpless whatever she chooses to say, John. I cannot contradict, because it is had manners. 1 cannot help hearing, and if I attempt to turn it aside, Lady Adelaida is sure to make herself only the more ridicu lous and me too, that is the worst of it. That new kind of wool-work! Why every creature does it, ami Miss de Bury worked some a year and a half a"o “What is it?” •‘Oh, crewels. You know the thing though you don t know the name. That honeysuckle I did for the little black chair, that was it. -Vmi then about our flowers she is is really very kind, you know in bring ing them; aud then she is quite amazed be cause I put them in water. ‘How people will laugh at us!” “No they won’t. They know her too well.” “Why does she fix upon me You are her relation, yet she never annoys you in the same way.” “You are mistaken. I heard her exalting my knowledge of horses to Mr. Foster, at the other end of the dineer-t&ble.” “Your knowledge of horses 1” “And advising him to apply to me for the next hunters he wanted.” “To Mr. Foster! The Master of fox hounds!” “Even so.” “John. Poor John.” “Ay, poor John. I don’t think any oi your experiences will beat that, my little Elizabeth.” “No, indeed. But how did you bear it? Did you not suffocate “Oh dear, no! I took a mouthful of sherry and bore up very well.” “But is it not dreadful?” John shrugged his shoulders. “It is her way, Lizzie, everybody has some peculiarity.” “A peculiarity need not be offensive.” “Very true. Do not be offended by it.” “John, I shall take a lesson from you. You are the best John, the most patienl John, the most wonderful John that ever was made. If I had heard that said to Mr. Fos ter I should have jumped up and screamed, Oh! you know what I mean. Of course you never set up for being a judge, and to a mau who does. What do you suppose hr thought?” Elizabeth was so takeu up with her hus band’s wroDgs that she almost forgot her own. So matters went on. Lady Adelaide, having no children of her own, took a maternal interest in her nephew and all who belonged to him. At least four days in the week the bav horses trotted through the Cottage gate, aud the kind soul, full of smiles and presents, sailed into the drawing-room. The excite ment did her all the good in the world; but, unfortunately, as it raised her spirits and stirred up her gentle, sluggish nature it served also more prominently to display its defects. “My dear, do tell me about your servauts. Are they comforts to you I don’t mean in the way of understanding their duties and keeping things properly—that, we can all see, is satisfactory; but are they comforts? So much depends upon that in a household; in deed it does. So I told John when we set about engaging them. We did our be9t to be sure; hut it is such a lottery. Old attached servants are the only ones of any value.” “Very true, Aunt Adelaide,” gravely. “And you really are pretty well off? You will excuse my asking I know, my dear; for it was such a responsibility. And so little ex perience as you have had it would have beeD cruel to have inflicted bad servants on you.” “They promise very well, thank you. I know,” continued Elizabeth, with a little twinge of conscience, that you took a great deal of trouble.” “No trouble in the world, my love. I would gladly be of any use. And as to the house—a new house you know, quite untest ed no smoky chimneys Bells ringing prop erly That’s well. Sir Walter and I were talking about the chimneys last night. 1 told him John would be sure to let him know; for of course it would be Sir Walter’s place to put them in order. So mind you tell us; no reserves, my dear.” “And then your calls?” proceeded Lady •OAieiamc, obAiUiibjaucsu. l ou Keep a uOOK you are returning them all in order?” -Not a book. Indeed I can get on without that." “Ah, you are so thoughtful, so clever. But indeed a book is a great help, an abso lute necessity. When I was a bride I could never have got on without my visiting book.” “You lived in London, Aunt Adelaide?” “Yes, my dear, for many years, Sir Wal ter was in the Guards you know. We had an immense circle of acquaintances.” “And we,” said Elizabeth, “have half a dozen.” “Half a dozen! More than that surely. Certainly we manage to do without a book, somehow, at the Priory. I did not think ol that. I only recollected my own experience when I was first married.” By-and-by it was, “Your tradespeople are attentive? Send proper joints? Never have loins of mutton, my dear—the most wastelul dish there is. And as for ribs of beef, mj housekeeper tells me that there is no under cut in them. Positively no under-cut. Little hints of that kind are invaluable to re ceive. I never order ribs of beef now.” This passed. Elizabeth, neither knowing nor caring anything about the merits ol under cuts, was still ruminating mischievous ly on the droll idea of establishing a visiting book wherein to detail in order the names ol the residents in a small and remarkably quiet neighborhood, when her monitress departed. “We are to keep a book, John, of all oui engagements, and I am to enter in it my visitors as they call, in succession, first ol all came Mr. and Mrs. Foster, then the rec tor and Mrs. Reeves, Lord Burchell, and Mrs. and Miss Page-Gore. I am am afraid it will be Mr. and Mrs. Foster, Mr. aud Mrs. Reeves, Lord Burchell, and Mrs. aud Miss Page-Gore over and over again, unless I am to insert Ladv Adelaide herself here and there by way of variety. And, John, be sure you only en gage old and valued servants, it is so import ant that they should be attached to vou—” “Lizzie!” Elizabeth hung her head. The next day she had a cold. Down came Lady Adelaide kinder than ever. Black currant tea, lozenges—the best were the pates de guimauves, quite invalua ble, had cures Sir Walter repeatedly: and jelly, a little jelly, so soothing and refreshing, were all by turns prescribed. The jelly should be sent down from the priory at once, aud the lozengers she would order on her way back through the village. Oh, it was a mere nothing, a mile or two round-the drive would do her good. Was Elizabeth’s throat blistered had she a headache Fe verish Yes, all three: and she would have given the world to be let alone besides. John came to the rescue. “She is not to talk, and this room is too warm for you, Aunt Adelaide; come and take a turn round the garden.” “And is poor dear Elizabeth to be left bv .herself?” 1 Even so. Hard-hearted John kept his visi tor out of doors during the whole ot her stay, and saw her safely ofi in the barouche ere he returned to his wile’s room for the remainder of the day. “My lady’s compliments, ma’am, to know how you are this morning Before nine o’clock Elizabeth’s abigail brought this message as she arranged her mistress’s tea-tray by the bedside. Elizabeth was no better. -\isiy lauy s compliments, ma’am, to know how you are this aitemoon Worse. A groom rode over in the evening. His master and mistress were going to Brighton on the following day, but would put off their departure if Mrs. Tresham was no better. By no means. Mr. Tresham would not hear of such a thing. The doctor had just left and there was nothing to be in the least alarmed about. Accordingly a dainty note was left at the Cottage on the following day when the car riage returned from the station. “My dear, do take care of yourself. I feel quite cruel, quite wicked, running off in this way. But Sir Walter thinks we must; and dear John, too, so like himself, to insist upon it. A few lines, a post card, sent to B Square will let us know how you are. Pray, my dear Elizabeth, do not think of w riting yourself. John or you maid will, I know, kindly take the trouble. In haste, your affectionate Aunt Adelaide. P, S.—So much to do. P. S.—Have you tried a Porous Plaster on the chest?” Sick as she was, Elizabeth laughing aloud. “John, your aunt is perfect. She is unique. Where did yor get such an aunt Pray, John, get me a porous plaster to put on my chest, because my throat is sore. And John, go at once to the post-office and get a postal card, or, better still, send a tele gram. Oh dear! I am very naughty and very wretched. Even my ears seem to ache and my head, eyes, everything. When will the doctor come?” The doctor gave very little comfort when he did come. It was a sore throat, a very sore throat. It hurt her very much when she swallowed? Humph 1 Could she gargle He prescribed a gargle and went away. But at night he came again. He happened to be passing, and thought perhaps they might like him to look in. Could Mrs. Tresham let him have a peep? John held the candle, and there it was, the dreaded white bar all down one side of the throat. “That will do.” said Dr. Birch, carelessly. “We must get that throat put right some how, Mrs. Tresham, and you must have some sleep. It is too sore Ah! yes, sore throats are very uncomfortable things. There are a great many of them going about just now. I won’t trouble you longer at present- Suppose I go down stairs to write the prescription.” Then he gave John a look and they left the room together. “Why, this is brandy!” cried Elizabeth. “Ah! how it burns!” “Yes, dear, it is thought good for you.” “John, what is the matter with me? “The matter?” “Yes, you look so strange. I can’t take any more, indeed I can’t. Don’t ask me. Only let me lie still. Oh, I don’t—want gruel; I—hate gruel.” The last sentences broken and uttered with difficulty. “Don’t go —away, John.” “Only for a few minutes, dear. I am go ing to sit up with you to-night.” A slip of the tongue this, but it passed un heeded. “How long Dr. Birch has stayed!” said she, presently. He was silent. “Is he only gone now?” Now at that moment the good doctor was comfortably ensconced in John’s own easy chair by the fireside in the library, with a pair of John’s own slippers on his feet. He had expected this in the morning, and made his arrangements accordingly. Mrs. Tresh am was dangerously ill. The fever did not increase rapidly; it rath er appeared to gain ground with insiduous, unseen footsteps. She was not exactly worse, she was cer tainly not better. The white bar came a little further into the mouth. Dr. Birch breathed more freely. “If we can but keep it there,” he said. “It we can prevent its going down the throat again, we shall do.” Alas! it crept round to the other side.

“Poor dear John! poor dear fellow! Dear! Dear! Dear! Dear! Oh, how sad, how sad! I must and will, go to him directly. Snow ing? what if it is? I cannot get wet in a rail way carriage; and what if I did either? Dear me, it the line should be blocked! But it only came an hour ago. Iling the bell, dear, please. Oh, Marshall, poor Mrs. Tres ham is so much worse, so alarmingly worse! It is dreadful, quite dreadful! and I am going off to her at once.” “What is the good of your going off at once? Indeed, I can’t see any good in your going at all. If you must go, wait till to morrow,” pronounced Sir Walter in his sleepy, selfish way, chipping off the shell of his egg as ho spoke, and examining it with the eye of a connoisseur. “What good will your going do anybody and in such atro cious weather, too!” “My dear! but you do not consider what you are saying. It is true I might be of but little use, but at least I could entertain the doctor, and—” “Ha! ha!” laughed her husband. “So you would go to entertain the doctor!” “It would release dear John, would allow him to devote himself entirely to his—oh, I cannot bear to think of it!” cried the kind creature. “Who knows what may be hap pening, what may have actually taken place by this time? How could I not go? How could l answer it to my own conscience if that poor dear child were to die—” “Nonsense! Who talks of dying You have put yourself into an altogether unnecessary ferment, Adelaide. There is not a word of dying in the letter. Besides, if it were as bad as that, you would be most certainly de trop and would wish yourself back here again.” “I might be a little comfort to him. And John never makes me feel de trop." Tffhll T rlai’floorr rvrvf Unf lfff us have any more fuss. Drink your tea, my dear, and think it over; there i9 abundance of time.” The tea was drunk, but scarcely was the last drop tasted, ere she broke forth again. “Sucb a perfect marriage! Everything so suitable I A charming creature, so handsome, so lively, so clever! Poor JohD, poor dear John! Who could ever have foreseen an end ing like this!” “Adelaide, do for pity’s sake, not set up that doleful cry again.” Sir Walter grew quite testy. “How can I enjoy my chop, or toast or anything whilst you are making such a din I iike my breakfast to be a pleasant meal; it ought not to be disturbed by disa greeables.” “But, my love”—Lady Adelaide, a pattern wife, was perplexed how to express herselt. The door was opened, and a hot dish was brought to Sir Walter’s elbow. “Muffin? ah! nice and brown too. The sort of day to eat muffins on, as somebody says somewhere. Have some muffin, my dear, while it is hot, and let us have no more of this, just now. There will be another let ter to-morrow, and a better account, we will hope.” “As if I could wait till to morrow! It is diptheria, my dear, diptheria! The most shockingly fatal complaint. Ah, how little we thought—” “Well, this is most provoking. I thought we had done with it at last, and now you be gin all over again. How can you set your self to be so unpleasant, Adelaide? One would really think you did it on purpose. Here is everything nice and comfortable, just as it ought to be, and I am not to be allowed to enjoy it. If I cannot have peace and quiet at my meals, I would rather go without food altogether.” “I assure you I am really very sorry my dear. Pray take another cup, such good tea, and the pot is quite full. And Marshall, be so good as to look up Bradshaw at once, and let me know which is the very first train that I can catch to Stoke Ferrington.” “You are really going?” Sir Waiter raised his eyebrows. There was no doubt about her going. Bells rang, maids hurried hither and thith er. Marshall received a summons every five minutes, and my lady, distracted between her duty to her husband, her orders to her house keeper, the claims of her engagements, the barking of her dogs, and the chattering of her parrot, grew every minute more and more be wildered and incoherent. “Jeannette goes with me, of course. Did I not say so “And Marshall. No, Marshall must stay and attend on his master. Sir Walter must not be inconvenienced. I had better not take Thomas, either, it would dis turb Sir Walter to drive out without him. What did you say, good Jeannette Ob, we shall get on very well, admirably. I am not at all afraid. “Miladi knows the stairshon suggessted Jeannette, doubtfully. “Stoke Ferrington, my good girl. Stoke Ferrington is our own station, you kuow— our station at home. We have only to get there and the carriage will meet us.” “The carriage, miladi!” “Oh, well, good Robinson will send us up in his comfortable fly. Or Mr. Tresham will drive down in the dogcart. Poor dear! of course he will be there to meet us—that is, if he knows we are coming.” “Miladi has then sent the message “Have I sent it? Yes—no—I really for get, and it does not signify. I daresay he would never get it if I did, or read it if he got it. No, Marshall, no; thank you for :emind ing me, but I prefer not to send one. I would not have them troubled on any account at such a time. Mr. Tresham will have quite enough to think of, and it might be inconven ient to send. No, no—we shall get on very well. Jeannette, there is no need for more. Let us take the least possible luggage we can. vv ny raae any tv ouiq not a carpet-bag be sufficient—a carpet bag which vou could hang on your arm? Well, well, but'let there be as little as possible. No evening dresses, no other bonnet. And now, Jeannette, my mantle. What comforts these fur-lined man tles are, to be sure 1 Ah I if dear Elizabeth bad only worn one of these; but it is too late to regret it now. Has Marshall ordered the cab? Run and see, Jeannette-quick! The time is flying, and cabs go so slowly. Yet I could not take our own poor horses out on such a day. What, not come Marshall must send—it is come? Then let us be off at once, at once.” In vain Sir Walter murmnred his disap proval—less urgently indeed now that his personal comfort was no longer interferred with, but still in uncompromising accents. The front door opened and out she sallied— her long dress, although on one side held up high enough to do duty for both, trailing far behind her on the other—her hands encum bered with muff, purse and satchel. “Now, my good man, I will give you double fare if you take us in time for the twelve o’clock train. The twelve-o’clock train to Stoke Ferringtoa, mind—not the London twelve-o’clock express train.” “All right, ma’am; I’ll do it if it can be done,” sa:d the man, resolutely, casting about in his mind for some roundabout street in which he could spin out the time. “Is it a block, Jeannette? Look out and see. What shall we do if it is a block?’. The station, in spite of all strategy, was reached so soon that Lady Adelaide, forget ting that Brighton is not London, could hardly be persuaded to believe otherwise than that a mass of vehicles obstructed her path. The cabman, however, got his double fare, and she had now the difficulties of the ticket office to encounter. But these difficulties had loomed so gigan tically before the eyes of the household in B- Square, that Marshall himself-the magnificent Marshall—had run round in the snow, and all to save his poor, foolish, kind mistress from a hopeless tangle of eonlusion. He should have been on the box seat of the cab, of course, but my lady had actually driv en off whilst he was filling for her the flask of her travelling bag, which she had only pro duced at the last moment. He was at the station before her, flask in hand. My lady was quite touched, but it never occurred to her to wonder that Marshall should, on his feet, have preceded her indomitable driver with his cab. She was safely seen into a disengaged car riage, presented with her tickets, which Mar shall kept his eye upon until they were safely stowed away in the satchel; and then, he thought, with Jeannette by her side, she might be brought through; though it was not without a qualm that the worthy major-domo saw the train depart. Faster and faster fell the snow. Ridges formed upon the windows of the railway carriages; and between the flakes which settled on the panes and slowly melt ing trickled down outside, and the steam aris ing from the warmer atmosphere within, the country through which the travellers passed was almost invisible to them. The hot-water pans rapidly cooled. Every time a door was opened came iu a biast of air so chill, iso withering, that the passengers wrapped in their thickly-folded rugs shud dered from head to foot. Guards and porters with snow-tipped hats and shoulders, blue faces, red noses, watery eyes and palsied hands, struggled with their duties. Travel lers, either muffled to the ears in Ulster coats and comforters, or equally well shrouded in sealskin and Shetland veils, sought the shel ter as a haven of refuge. How dismal, how cross they looked l There was the burly middle-aged man with snow on his whiskers, the soldier with snow on his moustachp, the school girl with thin kid gloves, the school boy with no gloves at all— each one more wretched, more unaccommo dating than the other. “Horrible!” escaped from Jeannette; but no syllable of complaint crossed the lip3 of her mistress. Strange to tell, yet true, Lady Adelaide and her waiting-woman reached Stoke Far rington in safety, and the only mistake they made was in going a little beyond it. Why, this is Becksley! Becksley is on the other side of Stoke Farrington! Guard! guard! are we on the right train “Depends on where you are going to, ma’am.” “Going? to Stoke Ferrington, to be sure. I know we hare passed it for tbis is the way we go to Loudon. What shall we do She had to get out and wait in the bitter cold at a little side station for nearly an hour. Yet she never faltered. “I his fire might be a little larger, but what there is of it is quite hot. Come nearer, Jeannette-come my good girl, warm your feet as I do. Oh, there is plenty of room plenty. You are cold as well as I. Ah! I wonder how poor Mrs, Tresham is now? But we must not expect to hear till we are there.” It was late in the afternoon ere the travel lers arrived at the cottage. “Aunt Adelaide!” For once in her life Lady Adelaide had no words. Mutely she gazed into her nephew’s face to read the verdict there; and it was with almost an hysterical gasp of relief that she sank down on a seat afterwards. “Aunt Adelaide!” “My dear boy!” “You have come from Brighton on a dav like this?” “My poor John, to be sure I have. How is she?” “Better—decidedly better. Quite a change since last night. But, my dear aunt—” John looked perfectly confounded. “lou shall not be troubled with us, my dear. 1 have thought it all over. We will go down to that good little inn where I know they will do everything to make us comforta ble. Jeannette is to tell the driver—it is all arranged. But I could not help coming, though Sir Walter said it was foolish.” “Foolish!” cried John, seizing both her hands and choking dowu a great sob in his throat -“foolish! It was the best and the kindest and—and—there isn’t one woman in a thousand would have done it. God bless you aunt! Neither she nor I will ever forget this.” “Oh, my dear!” She was quite overcome, Two large warm tears rolled down her cheeks and settled on the velvet strings of her bonnet. “To think of your coming here all by your self, and fighting your wav atnoug porters and cabmen!” continued John, aware of the miseries this involved to his helpless rela tive. “You, who have never traveled alone in your life. And the Priory closed, and not a creature to meet you! But go to the inn you shall not. Here you have come, and here you must stay. I wish it were a palace for your sake.” “Dear, kind boy,” murmured she. “It was nothing, a mere nothing—so glad—so thankful—such a happy ending John had hurried out of the room “Gnnls of lire! Yes indeed, my little wife, a pertect furnace is about to descend on your head now.” It would doubtless have been more prudent if the knowledge of Lady Adelaide’s arrival could have been concealed from the sick one. But independently of the fact that in so small a dwelling it was difficult to conceal any event that took place, John felt that he owed it to his aunt to let her journey and its ob ject be known. True, had he suggested secrecy she would not only have acquiesced without a murmur, but would have iustantly felt that she had been imprudent in expecting anything else; but it would have been a disappointment which he could not have borne to inflict. More, it would have been an injustice. Elizabeth must know, ought to know, the true worth of one whom she valued so slightly. Although weak, the invalid was now on the way to recover; and he felt he might ven ture on the announcement without danger of harming her. Like his own, her first emotion was one of extreme surprise. “John! Aunt Adelaide! What for? How did she come? How long has she been here?” “When I wrote yesterday, dear, you were very ill. Dr. Birch was anxious about you. I could not disguise it in my letter. The better report I sent to day will not arrive there till to-morrow.” “And do you mean that Sir Walter and Lady Adelaide set oil’on the strength of that letter?” “Hot Sir Walter. He is sale at Brighton.” John, did she come by herself?” “By herself; bringing that French girl with her.” “On this dreadful day!” “Drove up from the station in that old jangling fly with its broken window, and was preparing to sleep to-night at the public house.” “You will not let her?” “Ho, dear, no. It is all settled. And now, Elizabete, what do you think of the poor aunt?” Elizabeth’s pale face flushed. “I would like to see her.” On tiptoe Lady Adelaide came, her loug silk dress rustling behind her all the way up stairs and getting itself shut into the doorway as she approached the bedside. Hone of them once thought of the infec tion. Lady Adelaide stooped to kiss her niece, and Elizabeth threw her arms around her neck. (“She may call me clever every day of my life from this time henceforth, but I will nev er think of her as a fool again.”) HOTELS. BANGOK_HOUSE.

This is a constant sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, untiiyour head seems ready to fly off, until your nose and eyes discharge excessive quantities of mucus, thin, acrid, and poisonous, until, unfit for business, or pleasure, you number yourself among the most afflicted ot mortals, destined to suffer periodically the greatest distress without relief or consolation. Every draught, every breath of the air seems an enemy in disguise. This is properly called Acute Catarrh, and commonly, Cold in the Head. Its constant re currence is due to constitutionally weak or diseased nasal organs, and enfeebled action of the perspira tory glands. In the permanent cure of this dis tressing malady Sanborn’s Radical Cure for Catarrh is a never-failing specific. Instant relief follows the first dose. Its use destroys the morbid sensitiveness to atmospheric changes which predispose people to this disease, and is sure to pre vent an attack of Chronic or Ulcerative Catarrh. C H RO N I C CATARRH. Symptoms.—Obstructed breathing, partial closure of one or both nostrils, a stopped up, “stufted up” feeling in the head, constant blowing ot the nose, discharges from the nose ot a watery or thick yellow or greenish mucus, frequently streaked with blood. Sometimes the matter becomes encrusted in the nasal passages and is removed only by prolonged effort. In the morning on rising the symptoms are the worst. Violent blowing, hawking and spitting until the crusts are removed, at least partially, and the throat is freed from the matter that has accmula ted during the night. Finally the poisonous secretions attack the throat, bronchial tubes, lungs, terminating in pulmonary consumption, accom panied by a most offensive breath and impaired eyesight and hearing. ULCERATIVE CATARRH. This is the destructive and terrible stage ot the disease. The whole nasal passage, including the eyes and ears, the tonsils, throat, bronchial tubes and lungs become, one after another, affected, inflamed, ulcerated, and succumb rapidly to this frightful monster. A peculiar acid is generated and set at liberty by this disease, which, permeating the blood, weakens and destroys its renovating power, and al lows the system no opportunity to throw oft the mal ady until this poison is neutralized and expelled. It is here that constitutional treatment becomes of the most vital consequecce, “because unless arrested at this stage the disease will make rapid progress towards pulmonary consumption.” Warren’s I Household Physician. Meanwhile a soothing, heal ing, and astringent medicine must be applied directly to the nasal passages, this forming the most perfect troatment of the disease possible. PERMANENTLY CURED. Sanford’s Radical Cure for Catarrh is a safe, certain, and permanent cure for Catarrh ol ev ery form, and is the most perfect remedy ever de vised It is purely a vegetable distillation, and is ap plied locally by insufflation, and constitutionally by internal administration Locally applied relief is in stantaneous. It soothes, heals and cleanses the nasal passages of every feeling of heaviness, obstruction, dulness. or dizziness. Constitutionally administered it renovates the blood, purifies it of the acid poison with which it is always charged in Catarrh, stimu lates the stomach, liver and kidneys, periects diges tion, makes new blood, and permits the formation of sound, healthy tissue, and finally obtains complete control over the disease. The remarkable curative powers, when all other remedies utterly fail, of San ford’s Radical Cure, are attested by thousands who gratefully recommend it to fellow-sufferers. No statement is made regarding it that cannot be sub stantiated by the most respectable and reliable refer ences. It is a great and good medicine, and worthy all confidence. Each package contains a treatise on Catarrh and Dr. Sanford’s Improved Inhaling Tube, aim luu uirucuuns iur us use in an casus. Sanford’s Radical Cube is sold by all whole sale and retail druggists throughout the United States. Price $1.__ LAME BACK. Lame auu Painful Back. Twelve days in Hospital. Messrs.
