THE RAUAMBFFIN SHOW.
Tbe Gipay cimp is over there.
With it* ugly women end men;
Yearn ago they told my fortune,
I wee a fooiieli youngster then:
The children dancing round tbe fire,
Weaving enchantment an they go,
hooking more like elves and fairies,
Than just a ragamuffin show.
And that ugly fortune-teller.
Only told of sorrows and tears,
Heading the lines upon my palm.
Added sorrows to added years—
And now she could read the sorrows
In the lines of my face. I know,
This witch of a fortune-teller.
There with her ragamuffin show.
Where is that little bright-haired boy ?
hiving ? Ah. me X cannot tell.
Were he sleeping by his mother,
1 conld almost eav. “ It is well.’’
Up yonder where the torch lights shine
To the Gipsy camp I'll go,
For they say that bright-haired children
Are in the ragamuffin show.
Brighter than the happy sunshine,
He hovered round the door at play,
And prattled to the passers-by—
The Gipsies were in town that day,
A shadow fell across the door;
Gone—that was all that I could know—
Where had that roving Gip-.y gang
Gone with its ragamuffin show ?
It may lie I'll meet my darling
There, where no sin nor sorrow harms,
That I’ll eee a bright-haired cherub,
Clasped closely in its mother's arms; j
When I’ve doue with earth and Borrow,
Perhaps, ah 1 if I could hut know—
Or it may he that I’ll meet him
There, at the ragamuffin show.
AFTER THE BURIAL.
Yes. Faith is a goodly anchor ;
When fekiew are nweet at* a psalm.
At the bowH it lolle bo etalwart
In Muff broad-shouldered calm.
And when, over breakers to leeward
The tattered surges are hurled,
It may keep our head to the tempest,
With its grip on the base of the world.
Bllt after the shipwreck, tell me
What help in its iron thews,
And find iu the deeps 01 darkness
No footing so solid as dccpt.
Then hotter one spar of memory,
One broken plank of the past,
That onr human heart may cling to.
Though hopeless of shore at last.
To the spirit its splendid conjectures,
To the tlesb its sweet despair,
Its tears o’er the thin-worn locket
With its beauty of deathless liair
I mm. ’rial ? I feel it and know it;
Who doubts it cf such as she t
But that k' the pang’s very secret,
Immortal a from me

THE I*I.AGUE IN THE KASTEUN WAK.
[New York World.]
The nuxiety of Europe concerning the
complications of the Tureo-Russiau cam
paign is likely to be inerawied by the
entrance into the field of baUfe of two
unexpected hostile forces, intarbtal to
both sides in the conflict, and threaten
ing, moreover, to carry devastation into
neutral territories. Cholera and plague,
from their recruiting stations in India
and Mesopotamia, are on the march,
and under the fostering conditions of
war it is impossible to foretell the limits
of their invasion. Last year cholera
was on its route through Persia toward
the Russian possessions on the Caspian,
•and early in the present Spring grave
apprehensions were aroused as to the
virulence and rapid diftusiou of tli9 epi
demic. Within a few weeks several lo
cal outbreaks have been reported, one at
Akyab, killing twenty-five per oent. of
the* European population in thirty
hours, and new foci of infection will
doubtless be multiplied. On the other
hand, plague, which has been gradually
extending its ravages for some years
past, bad, even before the commence
ment of actual hostilities, spread to the
regions north of Bagdad with alarming
epeed. Uuder these circumstances the
war now iu progress not only threatens
disaster to the combatants themselves,
but meuaees all Europe with a visitation
of pestilence which no precaution may
be able to avert.
The part played by disease in pre
vious conflicts between Rnssta and Tur
key has been so terrible that these pre
monitions cannot fail to be watched with
extreme concern on both sides. In the
campaigns of 1828 and 1829, which re
sulted in the treaty of Adrianople, the
victorious Russian army was almost lit
erally destroyed by the plague which
broke out iu tbe army of Marshal Dte
biech soon aiter it entered tbe principal!- 1
ties. In tbe month of October, 1828,
aloue, 20,000 Russian sick were received

counting the field hospitals; end in Feb

CHAPTER rtt.
It was at rather a late hoar in the
morning when Caroline waa iwakened
by a noise, as if there were many strange
persons in the house. Doors were open
ed and shut, spurs clinked, aabre# olaah
ed, and Caroline even believed that she
heard words of suppressed command.
She arose and looked through the
window. The morning was too bright
and warm, the atmosphere lay sultry
and glitteriug over the gtrdeu, and the
Sasso del Ferro, with the bright little
town of Laveno, which clung to i to,base,
seemed almost within arm’s reach, Caro
line thought she heard light whispering
before her room. Noiselessly she crept
to the door and opened it qaiokty. It
was two maid servants, one of whom ran
away frightened. . „
What is the matter in tba bouse ?
asked Caroline. . . .
“They are holding a coart martial m
the large hall over the handsome Ger
man officer whom thay eaptured last
night in the park,” whispered tbe pale
maid. “Oar brigadier asserted that he
was a spy, and if that can be proven
they will shoot him. Signor Giaoomo
says, for war was declared yesterday.
With a dull groan, Caroline closed the
door and hurried through a row of
stiffly fnrnished rooms, towards the
large ball.
Her breath failed her when she raaoh
; ed the closed folding door; she heard
loud voicee on the other side, and opened
i it softly in order to look through.
At a long table eat a number of Itah
ian officers whom Cwouß6 often
met in her walks. The yellow tiresome
faces of most of them had remained
: involuntarily in her memory. Tbe white
1 haired old man with the fine expression
J and numerous orders, who seemed to
preside, had often been to the villa to
visit her father. The countenance of
the latter she could not see, for he and
Tommaso Paglia had their backs turned
to her. The doors, were guarded by
: two gens d’arrns, fully equipped with
broad shoulder belts and cocked hats,
and one of them dressed in dark blue
with the curved sword which reached
over his shoulder blade prevented Caro
line from getting a fall view of the room
Several times it actually seemed as if
they would lay their blades across the
J apparently quiet but deathly pale face
'of the acosepd. Cousin Henry stood in
the middle of the room and his trial
; seemed just to have been injsjied.

Brigadier Tommaso Paglia must there

whose testimony leaves no donbt that
the strange intercourse of the accused
with this s iaaof the shore had long been
prepared for, aud motive of this
communication could only bo judged to
be inimical to the safety of toe country
and the success of the impsudiDg mili
tary movements on our side. More re

the brigiff tor's statements, ate the de

examine tbe weigh* attaching to this ex
cuse. The lew has not prsyided for this
contingency, and while I would# onoe
make the accused aware of tbe serious
ness of his position, I would call upon
him to abandon his reserve and make a
full confession of feto motives and ob
jects, so as if not to prow bis innocence,
at least to lessen the iegfte# pf bis
gnilt.”
The President paused expeotSß tiy,
then slowly and significantly, with a sad
i but steady melodious voice. Henry von
Walden answered ;
“I can only repo# that as proud as J
would have been to defend ly father
land against every open enemy, / have
never condescended to be a senret spy-
The task which I had to exeeute is uot
iay secret alone and I must therefore be
steadfast in my silence.”
The 014 officer’s face became very
grave and with g motion of the hand to
she officer sitting on tim fight he took
his seat.
“The oounsel of his majesty, the
King, has the floor.”
His majesty’s counsel was a tolerably
youthful lawyer, whose long black hair
and agitated manner, together with his
nnsoldierly, student-like behavior gave
rise to the presumption that he hajl re
cently exchanged the university for the
military court room. The first senten
ces of his speech showed also that it was
of more importance to tei& to make
a favorable impression in the terupp
tting of bis new career by a brilliant
ami patriotic delivery than to in
quire impartially into the guilt of the
accused, aua fe enter the lists on ac
count of the violated Jaw. He began,
thereupon, to prove by tfe; Jji.story of
the last fifteen years the treaotievy pf
the oouutry to whioh the accused be
longed; and, iu WpJl constructed sea-'
tences, which would ÜBYfi done him
honor at a university examination pr in
a debating society, he heaped the guilt
of half a century upon the blonde bead
of the captured officer, in order to rep
resent him as the last and most detesta
ble link oi amm which wound itself
around the nobfeat effort* pf mankind.’
After the crown's sttoriW ht
thdt lie bad laid sufficient stress upop

affair, he worked Hpon the feelings of

The lawyer was silent for a moment to!
take breath, and to give his thundering
words time Lo sad so angry echo in the
breasts of his bearers. Uteil A8 he saw
the glance* of most of thorn sfetady ,
upon the accused withs gruel hiirea,
suddenly forsaking his potato strain, he
summed np briefly the convincing proofs
against Walden and deslared the impos
sibility of the latter to offer any explana

they .would uot even believe that be hed

seized him as he suddenly realized for
the drat time during tbe trial; the prob
able and finding of the commission be
fore which be was ignored. Gradually
hie face grew paler, end for a moment
his large grey eyee rested musingly
upon Count Hippolyt. The glances
of the two men men met The Count a
seemed to eay that what ever crime
Henry had committed against him, he
was not responsible for this verdict, and
that he could not intercede for him
without endangering his own safety.
The young, simple looking officer who
had been employed for the defendant
was evidently very much concerned
about his present task, and wiped the
perspiration from his brow as he
scratched nervously on small peices of
paper. In the oountenanoes of most of
the judges there wae the (to them)
perfectly oomfortable consciousness that
they had power over life and death.
Only the gray haired President seemed
not to be governed by the general senti
ment, and bowed hit head as if to his
mind the riddle was not vet explained.
Then the rifleman who had been
placed at the aide door, suddenly felt
himself and hit aabre pushed quiekly
aside by the hasty opening of the door,
and before he could prevent her, a slen
der maiden passed by him, and in an
other moment stood close to the accused.
It was Caroline. Her nch, blue black
hair floated uaoonflned over the thin
morning robe which enveloped her
yonthfnl form; her large eyes were
opened wide in tbe anguish of hei soul,
while in her cheeks tbe modest blushes
came and went, and almost a smile
hovered about her lips as if she could
not comprehend snob inexpressible folly
mid cruelty, and as if she were certain
that only a word from her was needed
to f~?ten away all these fantastic
spectres who talked of crime and death.
“Speak Henry.” said she, seizing his
hand impetuously; ‘|you know that
these gentlemen me mistaken, ***** they
believe you have tone as an enemy
while yon only oome out of love and
fidelity to carry me to my mother
Speak, !tben, and tell them all/ I

will go with you in open daylight, and
neither papa nor any one else shall pre
vent me. Then speak, Henry! You
see that these gentlemen want to know
why you are here. Therefore, speak,
and torture me no longer!” and half
weeping frofift violent emotion, she
olasped her lovers arm,
Walden looked down upon her with a
transfigured smile, and sighing deeply,
was about to speak. Then he heard
olose by him the Count's hissing voice:
“Drag my daughter's honor publicly
in the dirt, if you have the heart to do
so I”
Among the officers whose sympathies
had been almost exclusively aroused by
the appearance of the beaqtifpt girl who
in her anxiety for her love was disclos
ing her Qsf Stored befrj> secrets, the
sngVlawyer ws tfce tp regain his
composure. Efis evident impatience
showed that be *w bis whole oratorioal
structure, probably bis expected proba
tion, destroyed by this new turn of af
falrs.
“The President surely agrees with
me that the examination of witnesses is
over, and that this sort of interruption
in the proceedings of a court martial is
not customary. The consideration also
that' a is Pot piprply a romantic interest

“Then,” said the President, Rh

As if bewildered, Caroline stood be

her. She understood dimly the reason
why, but it pained her that he would not
permit her to be as noble as he waa.

for him, he thought; these pants were
the very thing that caused him all the
trouble. A lieutenant, a corporal and a
private were soon assembled for a court
martial, and nine men had their guns
quickly loaded. Vainly onr lover beg
ged and protested, and actually endeav
ored to rnn away from ns, but all that
availed him nothing—he was led with
bandaged eyes in front of the platfoim,
the lieutenant waved his sabre —and
away went onr lover.”
Caroline bad not heard the conclu
sion of this happily chosen narrative;
she was already on the steps, hurrying
through the corridor to the open air.
She stood listening attentively for a mo
ment, by a room, before the door of
which a rifleman walked up and down,
with his piece in his haud. He was the
one past whom she had forced her way
into the council chamber; and when
this powerful man, with the big sailor
hat, saw his pretty antagonist opposite
him, he drew himself up with boorish
insolence, in order to show, by his man
ner, that if she again wished to reach
the accused, he hoped to be ready for
her.
Bat almost timidly, Caroline slipped
by, and whde tbe rifleman congratulat
ed himself complacently upon the ef
fect of his martial behavior, Caroline,
as if she were afraid of being arrested
also, hurried down the familiar paths of
the park toward the lake. Whoever had
met her with her agitated countenance;
her dim, troubled eyes, surrounded by
broad red circles, with her forehead and
cheeks bluishly pale and disfigured; her
lips moving, as if in agony; her long,
hir floating over her thin morn
ing drees—whoever had seen her thus,
conld not have doubted that despair
bad, for the time, gained the victory
over her beauty, as well as over her rea
son.
Arrived at the harbor, she stepped
without hesitation but with not a per
fectly steady tread upon the slender
plank of the arch which led under the
street. At the end of tbe narrow bridge
she looked down into the water, where
brick walls and bjoss covered beams ap
peared in indistinct, distorted shapes.
Fox a long time Caroline gazed beueath
her, then she burst into loud, wild
weeping, and suddenly sprang into the
boat nearest her, as if to reach by this
means the deeper water. Her dress
caught on a nail and was tom, she re
marked it not. The boat was driven by
the violent leap a little away from the
bridge, and touched the point of tho
rusted grating, which yielded to its
pressure and opened. The light chain
wrapped around one of the beams which
held tfie boat, ratthd noisily ip the wa
ter, frightening the fishesi that shot
tfjropgh thp depth like dark flashes.
Involuntarily Caroline looked around
her upon the brilliant day and over the
bine motionless waves. As if framed in
a mammoth rainbow, tho Basso del Fer
ro soared aloft to the dark blue sky,
the white houses of Laveno clustered at
its base, in the red palace ou the left,
she had once seen Henry, and iu the
round gray tower ou the right his com
rades were now perhaps vaiuly looking
for him.
His comrades—the bright day which
from wiifiout fell up op b®r fape, seemed
at-this moment to beam from lier eyes;
she saw in the boat two oars lying ready
for the voyage; she had once known
how to use them, till'her father forbade
af) boyish sports on the steep coast.
fJonfusecfly and impetuously the
thogght entered her head—that was the
samp boat ip which Henry would have
carried b®r to bar mother, Henry oould
not be murdered before the answer of
the commander-in-chief arrived. By that
time his comrades could come and rescue
him.
With eager and as is often the case,
impeding haste, she grasped the oars;
they wera fisayy, but she placed on
them ftp tyhole jjtrppgtp pj her d®!*?# 6
frame j the boat moved forward BPd in
another moment floated out iuto the
laka.
Out there, the day looked not so
bright and friendly; the low dark bed of
clonds which pushed up from the South
@nd corresponding to which a deep black
Athßeok rsu-aP/PM t,he lake was indeed
the only thfst Caroline did not
meet any of the guard bokta WhieSi'Since
the news of the declaration of war
cruised incessantly along the shore.
Jtjvfjn th® strongest bark, and the bold
ing Hp with- spfih vmteßt rapidity, the
ppyenue effioers and soldiers of Intra
wnd ytoodjdong the shore looked stupid
ly at toe crafTwlr!: thev savoome fuL
denly from behind a projecting point oi
Ijnd; and float out into tbe Lake, with
out being fb 1* pf that distance to distin
guish the bright wuTte'Vobeu rower. If
%uy one of these had without orders con
quered his laziness and veutured to fol
low toe boat, it already seemed unneces
sary, because the storm must have over
taken the white rower, and without
doubt have upset her before the swiftest
boat of tjie-revenue officers could have
reached 'lier.” Besifiep, /hp practical
Piedmontese felt not the spghtfest obli
gation to share unnecessarily in tho fate
of this crazy person.
Already the sun had disappeared be
hjnd the gathering clouds which pressed
surgipj&dr % S&S3S 4 id ,F® rr ®
like neyer eputng wave*. Jujapti and
qniet too lake still lay, while era) now
one oould hear the howling of tho storm
and toe dashing of the waves against the
shore, A dull lurid light lay over the
green level shore and the white houses
and red tiled houses of Laveno; then a
single gust of wind swept angrily and
trumultuously over the surface of the
lake, and fragments of low hanging
clouds along the coast moun
tains. The streak extending acyosa the
lake roared white foaming out of the
dark depths. At last the storm bride
herself came riding forth on her silver
maned steed, and iu a moment, the un
til now almost quiet water was covered
as faf as the eye could reach, with foam
oapped billows.
'jhe remote'/ qj palliate M! ®f tia '
guisheq, anq eyer wilder the boat
danced npop the waves. Blinded by the
lightning whioh flashed through the
darkness, bewildered by the thunder
and the howling of the storm, lashed by
the hail which crackled around her, the
tender rower straggled against the fury
of the elements; tumult was ever
increasing, the storm tore tbe waves out
bf thß iajte and teased them iuto the air,
a whirlpool ragefftlte fibat uud turned
it ropod and round, tearing first pne oar
and then toe other from the rower.
Then Garoline threw herself down in the
boat, already half filled with water, and
dancing wildly up and down.
“Henry ; poor, dear Henry—l can
help Ida no more!” sobbed she;
graspinff r tofi'keavaaq jiohjin" fast to it.
Then the storm and waves carried the
helpless boat along with them.

was horn on the 11th of June, 1793, near
the mouth of the Piscataway river,
Prince George oounty, Md.
A Wyv\d reporter found him silting at

in front of Monastery, reading a paper

“Ah,” said he rising and offering his

and Winter s{ia(i.ing h*ud§,’' fie added
with a lusty laugh. “Sit do'wp, my boy,
sit down, and let’s fieur what yon’ye got
to say.”
~I& hy, what do folks care for an qjd
wefjiher-fieaten prigsUs glory ‘j” he ask
ed when the reporter’s errand was ex
plained. “Yon want to know about my
ancestors? My great grandfather (au
Englishman) was a Judge, and was sent
out here in that capacity. He became a
convert to Catholicism, and of course
had to give up his job, as the saying is,
England didn’t allow Catholics to hold
office in those days. He bought a tract
of land whioh is flow covered bj_ a ~rpat
part of Washington' City. Well, he
died, as in all likelihood I shall in the
next thirty years, aud the farm, which
had the finest mansion in that part of
the country on it, went to my grandad,
Notley Young. He was born on it.
When General Washington oame to lay
out the city of Washington my grandad
General stopped with the old gentleman
during that time, and provided that
Notley Young’s mansion should not be
torn down till after his death; and there
it stood right in the middle of a street
until he died. My father,, Nicholas
Young, married one of the Fenwicks,
who were of the Lord Baltimore colo
ny that came over and fonuded
Maryland, through fier fig ififiepted
the farifil )n F4infib ‘Qeorge' Gqanty,
where 1 was born. Jt was right aoross
from Mount Vernon, where Washington
lived. Many a time my father took us
ont of a morning in toe garden to look
through a spy-glass at the General pac
ing np and down on the veranda in
front of his honse. He had a habit of
walking to’s way every morning, with
his hands 'behind his fiaofi. tine day,
when I was years old, there
was to be a militia ptefljttft hot far fVom
our house, and OtouenQUFasfiington was
to be there to ’review The milifia. I,
with a lot of other youhg’ b'hayepi, went
to the show, to ’gef soifJe ginge^ifite a 4

General was there’ ft big white

his big cockf G hat/ I remember every
body was pointing ont the General to
everybody else. He was a great broad
shouldered man, and I’d know him now
perfectly if I were to see him in the
garden out there, he made suoh au im
peesstoa ov iny mind. I thought he
wastoa greatest map that ever lived;
didn'Tjutew wfiy orwhetefbre/ofily that
he whipped the British. I suppose there
are very few nowadays can say what I
say."
“You must have seen all the public
men since Washington’s Presidency.
“Yes, I’ve seen eyery j’residgnt we
ever had. I have seen Jefferson ride

well as any sportsman, I Saw Madison

“How came you to be a monk,
father ?" asked the reporter.
“My ancle Edward Dominic Fenwick,
who was afterwards Bishop of Cincinna

any fun in being a priest in those days,
but I liked it.”
“Did you spend all your time in
Ohio?"
“Oh, no ; I founded the first church
in Washington, my boy, and built it
right where my graudfather’s barn used
to stand. It is the finest specimen of
Qotbic work in this country—the Church
of Bt. Dominic.”
“How long have you been a smoker?”
“Well, ever since I became a priest.

were thrown together in the wilds of

Father Young came to New York in
1826, when there were but two Catholic
churches in the city, to ask for help for
the frontiersmen of the Catholic faith.
He goes about from one institution to

A MWVKK’S HiMIUUTV.
The Cincinnati Commercial, in an
article abont Maj. Blackburn, the lawyer
who recently absquatulated from that
city, says : “ The history of Black
burn’s rasoality in the case of Dr. 3. S.
Mclllbaney is quite remarkable. It was
away baok in December < f 1875 that
Blackburn undertook to get a divorce,
here, for the Doctor, without unneeps
fary publicity, and, of course, it was
j use about that,time that he commenced
bleeding tho Doctor. He reported to
the Doctor, after many tedious delays
and much preliminary lying, that the
divoroe had been seonred, and that he
was at liberty to marry tho woman of
his second choice. The Doctor did
marry her. Then came the discovery of
Blackburn’s boss lie—the fact that there
was no decree of divorce in the case,
and that no suit had been commenced.
There was terrible scenes over this.
Mclllhaney was driven almost to mad
ness. He made up his mind to kill
Blackburn, and followed him with a re
volver for that purpose ; but Black
burn’s appeals for mercy were so pitiful
that he had not the heart to do it, and
he consented to a compromise—to ac
cept Blackbu u’s services in actually
getting a divorce. He was a bigamist
and his second wife was no wife. It was
terrible to think of such scandal
coming out to the public. Black
burn swore that he’d get the di
vorce for him without any publicity, and
that scandal of the thing should not
come out. The Doctor took his wife
and went to New Orleans fully expect
ing that in his absence the divorce would
be prooured without the wife in Dayton
learning the facts in the ease. In the
meanwhile there had been transactions
in property, in tbecourspof which Black
burn, as attorney, had obtained control
of all the means Mclllhaney had. With
only a few dollars in his possession,
Mclllhaney nud his new wife went dowu
to New Orleans, having the understand
ing with Blackburn ILat he was to send
them money for their expenses and get
the divorce for them. He did neither,
but he supplied them plentifully with
his ohoicest lies by telegraph. His per
sistent lying to them about the proceed
ings in Court, and abont the matter of
the money, was something wonderful.
Blackburn undertook this case for Mc
lllhaney in December, 1875. An idea
of the amount of lying he must have
done in this case is shown by the fact
that he never even entered suit, by tiling
a petition, until last March. There
never was any testimony taken in tho
Common Pleas Court in the case. But
Blackburn had for months made Mr.
Mclllhaney believe that he yjas a di
vorced man, married him
ojft'antl thsn, on the discovery of the
truth, and even convinced him that the
best thing be could do was to hide
himself in New Orleans while he at last
really procured the required divorce,
which at last he failed to do. The
matter came up before Judge Avery, and
was referred to once before Judge Long
worib, but no testimony was ever pro
duced in the way of a trial.”
A feyy ago g Russian peaaaut

traveling in a uleigh along the banks of
