Trnn-lnied lor tin* Chrotiirte mid Conslltn tiounll.r, from Ike Ocrmtin of .lla Von Schlnr*el. CONCLUSION. Withont opoosition Walden allowed himself to be led away. A few minutes later, the two boats floated again on the waves, which were already ruffled by a gentle morning breeze. A patrol march tug up ard down the street observed them, tnt thought they were the guard boats of their own people, who were re connoitring the Lombsrdic chore under cover of the darkness. They were abont the middle of the lake when those in the revenue boat. No. 5, which was already aheail, suddenly thought they saw Geronimo’s boat stop aDd rock violently. It seem ed as if two upright forms in it were frying to overpower each other. Then an Italian corse was heard, and a heavy fall, and after a little time Gerouirao rowed Dearer “What is the matter?” asked the cap tain. “Nothing, except that we are rid of one of onr prisoners,” answered the smuggler, bi.s voice still trembling from hatred of his enemy. “He j-rked his chaio in two, apparently on au oar nail, and attacked me. I was the stronger. That is all!” “And you did not help him out ?” “So that lie might help me in? I must protect myself!” The captain seemed very unpleasantly affected by this occurrence, and had ome doubts of Geronimo’s statement. He would even have turned back in or der, if possible, to save the unfortunate man, hint the mist veil on the shore had become more transparent and a longer delay in reach of the lutra batteries, would be a crime against his soldiers. Therefore, they rowed rapidly to wards the Lombardic shore; already the round form of the gray fort rose above Ihe lildf rt; suddenly there wasaflish from its pinnacle, a shot rushed through the morning twilight, and immediately a howling whisper came ever nearer. Then it burst deafeningly over the boats and fell like hail on the water, which leaped high in hundreds of little Jeas cades. The captain perceived the situation in a moment, and cried angrily: “Mihalasy has lost his senses from fright, and is firing on ns with grape shot. Forward, as quickly ns you can, before a second salute comes.” The valiant defender of the fort against his own people seemed to have not the slightest donbt that the captain and ills little company had been murder ed by the Piedmontese, and the black boat which, in the morning light and his anxiety, seeded twice as large as it really was, must beiopg to them. Farther firing ceased, but, in spite of their handkerchief signals, Kornfaes sd’s men still had a little skirmish with the wild outposts who had been station ed along the shore, and who had been placed m a paroxysm of watchfulness by tho captain’s zeal, as well pis by Mihala sy’s fright. At last, just as the sun was shedding its first rays over the lake, Walden and his captain stood on the platform of the gray fort. But vainly the latter tried to get a look at tne breastworks on the other shore. In the last twelve hours Guido could not possibly have become half a hand shorter. At last he discovered that tiie view was obstructed by a wall of sand bags which Mihfllasy had hat] placed there for the protection of his precious per sod. It was therefore only owing to ihe information of one of tiie sentries sta tioned on the shore ffi.at the boats had been seen. Guido Kornfaessel had exhausted Jus anger, and he only shook his head won deriugly, ns he quietly asked Mikalasv if he really would so much prefer being killed by a sand bag to being shot by a grenade. Then turning to Walden, who stood on one side in deep dejection, bnt perfectly calm, ho asked him kindly if he did not wish to carry the news to the Countess. It was likely that this lady had not sought her couch since yesterday. Walden looked surprised. “Certainly, if you will permit me be fore my arrest”— “Arrest?” afked Kornfaessel with genuine astonishment. “You will not surely swim back immediately ?” “I have seriously failed Su pjy duty, but from no disloyal motive”—continued Walden quietly. ‘ “And you have a per fect right to arrest me.” “I?” again asked Kornfaessel. Then ho laughed aloud, “Pid yon really believe in the stratagem. Slow we will consider the tiuDg settled, or I must keep you company before the court martial and Mihalasy will have to judge both of ns. Do you think that the General has left me here to contrive nocturnal expeditions after missing Lieutenants, and to risk my best, men in order to invite a Piedmontese revenue officer to take a trip to this shore? Therefore, make yourself easy, and take my most respectful compliments to the Countess aud her daughter. On your return be kind enough to lay aside this sombre citizen’s dress and wrap your self, by means of your uniform, in the colors of innocence. Your grenadiers now look at yen with the same horror that Wankelbube* looked at me once, when I cut off my moustache because it had grown too unmanageable. 4-1 that time it required ail my firmness to exact obedience from him, and several times he came near being arrested. Discipline only came back with the hair. You need not hasten yonr return, for we have enongfa to (Jo to pull down the Chinese wall whitdi Miiiu-Way has had built for the protection of iija precious person. And if the people ‘over ifita.o’ should have taken onr visit ill, or the welcom ing fire of our comrades, yon will hear it in time. But now, be of good cheer, and trust in the fortunes of war which have so highly and onr military achievements,” Chatting in this way, as if ire Wf&ted to divert his friend from tho seriousness of the situation, ho extended his hand to Walden, who grasped it with emo tion. “Above all, I thank yon for recalling jne lo the duties which I havo so cul pably neglected-: ” “Save your thauEZ fqr the little Countess, of better still, make tho dar ling very happy when you are her has bniid. I have never during my whole term of service seen such a courageous maiden, aud the mother-'U-law is not bad either, as our friend Mihalasy would say.” The captain seemed entirely an rod of his prejudices against seductive and in triguing women. A melancholy earn estness passed over Walden’s clear fea tures. They stood at the beginning of a bloody war, which in all probability woulu east a shadow over the whole life of this loving child--for that she loved him as deeply and tenderly as he loved her Walden could no longer doubt after all tliat hi* friend bad told him on his re turn, aud after imp own words in that blessed moment when she bad rested on his heart. And now if all tio sacrifices, all the devoted courage which she had shown should be in vaiti, and one of the first battles should tear him away from her ! Would it not have been better if the idyl had never bggun, which must end so sadly ? This questioning of fate was written on his pule brow as he entered the pres ence of the Countess. For a moment, Walpurga sat motion less and numb from overpowering ioy, while at first, Pepi stood near her, as if she saw a spirit, aud then elappiDg her bauds she burst out with these words: “Ail the saints help me ! there he is now !” “Go to Caroline and awake her 1” said the (Josjjtess, with pals cheeks and trem bling lip*. “Jlhe has wept the whole night, and only felt gsleep a few hours ago, but this reality is sweater than any dream 1” The last words were addressed to Wal deu, for Pepi had left the room. “Walden, Walden !” continued Wal pnrga, extending her hand to ihe rescued man. “How could you have committed such a folly ? I did*not wish it, indeed I did not. " The anxiety that I have suf fered on yonr account was horrible—my reason coaid not have survived another such night. What a risk yon have run iu obedience to my thoughtless words ; but how could I have suspected such rashness ?” “The affair was odlj- made serious by the sadden declaration of war,” rejoiu ed Walden. “I had often before in other places undertaken the adventure for a harmless joke or wager. The en trance of the little harbor, which was so convenient for me, I had known on a | former visit to this shore. But every ' thing has happened ior the best!” “For the best!” returned the <soun | tess almost devoutly. “And the most \ bitter reproach of my life has been ; spared me.” Walden shook his head. “I have not thought of myself, but that Count Hip poly t has perceived the cruel wrong he has done you. However, he is still aoovineei tfcsi fee has injured you too deeply by his suspicions to hope for forgivenues*. He is sure that von must hate him.” The Countess’ face cleared, and an al mos.‘ girlish blush brightened hex is Zrong if he thinks that,” she said softly. “<* woman doe. not so easily hate the mail to WBCiff the first love of her young heart was given. Besides, he is Caroline’s father. Does he knew of your love ?” “In a moment of excitement he seem ed to approve it.” “ Then in this life 1 have nothing more to desire—reconciled with him —and you, my son J" She gave him her hand. Henry knelt anil pressed it to his lips. “Motherl” whispered he in deep agi tation. Bo the two were seen by Caroline,who had just appeared in the doorway. With a wild, terrified look, she would have withdrawn, bnt Henry saw her and has tened towards her. She did not seem to notice that he held out both his hands to her, but gazed with infinitely painful astonish ment first at him, and then at her mother. “How—so little joy over the return of yonr betrothed?” smilingly said the Conntess, who thonght her daughter's singular behaviour was the bewilder ment of joy. Caroline looked at her mother with her large eyes, full of reproach. “ My betrothed ? Never, never !” “ And why ? Do you not love each other ?” asked the Conntess, looking anxionsly from one to J.he other, while Walden stepped back. Caroline was sileDt, and looked defi antly on the floor. Her mother went to her and took one of her hands. “ I know yon were always an obedient daughter to yonr father, and I was wrong when I influenced yon against his authority; bnt his views have changed, and tt.e judgment which lie passed upon Henry his been reversed. To-day he consents to an alliance, which yesterday he cursed; therefore, my child, be rea sonable, and no longer distress yonr poor cousin, who came near losing his life for you.” Gently, but decidedly, Caroline re leased her hand, and with her teeth pressing her under lip tightly, she look ed attentively in her mother’s face. Af ter a pause, she said abruptly : “ Leave me, mamma. Ido not love mv cousin Henry, and will never be his wife.” “ And why, if I may ask ?” returned the Countess, severely. “ Had you any right to tell me, and perhaps him also, of a love which you now deny ? An swer ! Why do yon send Henry away from you, after you have both risked your lives for each other ?” Caroline’s steady glance did not quail before her mother's angry face. “Forgive me 1” she then said, “but it seems to me I would rather die than an swer you.” And, covering her face with her hands, she hurried out of the room. Silently, Walpurga and Henry stood facing each other. “I do not understand it!” said the former with great indignation. “At this moment Caroline is to me more incom prehensible than a stranger.” “Caroline is probably wiser than your kindness and my love,” said Walden gently, but with a bitter smile. “Per haps she is afraid to bestow her heart entirely and unreservedly upon a man whose duty places him daily at the threshold of death. She has profited by recent occurrences. She no longer feels strong enough to encounter and re nounce. I cannot blame her.” “But I,” said the Countess, “if she is so cowardly and selfish, I have no daughter !” At this momeut Pepi came in with great coyness, 5 and announced that a subordinate officer, the same who had onoo before sought the lieutenant at midnight, was here again and desired him to repair immediately to the cap tain, who had just received important dispatches from headquarters. “Courage !” the Countess whispered, looking fixedly in his sad eyes. Walden smiled- He knew that it was not cour age to meet death which t]ie Countess desired for himj it W 43 courage for life that he lacked, When he had gone the Countess went to her child’s room. Caroline was lying on her bed with her face buried in her hands. The Conntess drew them away, and looked earnestly at her dis turbed features. “ I wish to know the truth, you owe it to me, Why do you turn Walden away ?” Almost angrily Caroline looked at her mother, her little hands denoted aud her lips trembling. “You really wish to know,” said she, with a great effort and a sort cf self-tor turing jov. “Well, then—because he loves you, not me 1” The Countess trembled, “ Who has told ygq this ?” “ Papa.” “Your father has in the meantime perceived that he was in error.” Caroline looked incredulous. “ And you do not love him, have never Juye’d him, mother ?” At that moment the Countess thought of telling a falsehood, ir, qrtjer to re store peace to her child's heart, but the large black eyes which wore fixed on her, fufi fif jjnxiety, expectancy and confi dence, made ii impossible, and, like a penitent, she answered t “ I loved him once, but it was lopg, long ago. He knew it himself for the first time a few d a y s a ß°- ” “ Who eyer baa loved him onee|must love him forever, v answered Caroline, and in her young face there was a gloomy, determined expression. And whom you love must love jou also !” “But probably with a different love from that which you feel for Walden. Listen to me my child ” But Caroline turned her face sadly to the wall. •f has her father’s obstinacy,” murmured the Countess. “May she be convinced, likehim, befqns it is too late,” Sadly, and in thoughtful agitation, captain Kornfaessel walked to meet his friend k* s h <! canm up to the platform of the fort. Loaning m> the *und bags where they were highestgtqqd Mihalasy. His pate cheeks, hia bps, l/f s even his eye-glasses and uniform hung on him disconsolately, and seemed to say that the lieutenant had done with life. Even Pepi’s name had not passed his lips for several days. “ Bad besty JJTalden,” said the cap tain. “Tho geueraf has that a flank movement against the Mweio is i contemplated. The attack is to come from here.” Wal4 e h looked at his friend in sur prise and something };k indifference was expressed' in' 'his facie. “Have we hqi sliyay§ Wished tp come to the front “Certainly,” Kornfaessel eagerly re plied. “That is before we knew the Count and his family so well—but since you are to be hia son-in-law—.” “ With regard to the last you may rest easy. Itot what figs this to do with the flank movement of quv troops “Nothing, except that unfortunately for bird we must destroy his villa,” “ And wt” that particularly ?” ask ed Walden, really trou^!”^: “The general’s command is that 1,1 tips arrival of the troop3 we are to keep up a brisk fire op all the enemy’s posi tions od the opposite shore, which are in range of our guns,” “But the Bandimani villa is a private house, and the two riflemen who guard ed me cannot be considered a military garrison,” cried Walden. “Look over there 1” said the captain, handing Walden his spy-glass. “The Piedmontese seem already to have set tled themselves there, and it would be contrary to our duty to spare this villa which in the contemplated passage may cost the lives of hqpdpeds of our brave young men.” Walden’s unsteady hand took a long time to adjust the glass. The cross of Savoy floated from the pinnacles of the castle-like villa and the splendid trees of the park seemed to have been out down. There could be no doubt that the country house had been converted into a fortress, and the importance of this post for a landing was not to be denied. ‘‘And the Conntess and Caroline?” asked Walden. Kornfaessei avoided bis friend's eye and muttered, shrugging hia shouldprs: “No matter—we are soldiers.” Wa'deu felt that even if he wished La could not dissuade the captain from ful filling his duty. A short time afterward the first gte na-Je yhistled over the lake. Waukel hrber naa adjusted the gun and its action was as perfect as he expected. Shot after shot followed, so teat the i tower trembled to its base. At last the shore batteries of Intra responded. But their bibs scarcely reached the middle of the lake, where they sprinkled the water. Guido Kornfaessel continued to bring more guns into actioj. The little fort looked like a fire-spitting volcano, the mortars thundered, and the rocket guns described their smoke wreaths over the lake, while a dark gray c'ond rose slow ,ly above the Lasso del Ferro. It gathered thickly around the mountain’s lofty summit, while the ends of the i smoke vail reached down to the low gray tower between the alders on the shore. Silently the gunners applied them selves to their gloomy work. Trembling ly and silently, too, the Conntess and her daughter clung to each other, and . gazed at the opposite shore, where gradually dark pillars of smoke mount : ed to the snow crowned mountains, and . the blue sky above them. | Toward? evening the clouds became I red, and under them tee jfleam ed. The villa Bandimiam was burning. Walden’s sensitive nature could bnt feel that, 'S’jth the bombardment of the : villa pis last ppp£ of lore i and happiness had been swept away. He approached the Countess with out ward calmness, and sUe understood the inexorable military necessity which had commanded this terrible thing; bnt not withhi?Qdiug this she did not conceal that the sight of her father’s burning house nad cade a painful itnpreMion upon Caroline, beneath which Waldens last hopes and wishes must be crusned. The Countess confessed also that any other result of the oonflict than the sep aration of the two lovers seemed to her impossible if Hippolyt had been boned under the walls of his house. Even if he survived the destruction of his prop erty, hia hate would have received fresh sustenance, and this feeling wou'd be a just one which bis family must share, not condemn. The Countess continued, exoitedly: “As deeply as I must deplore the fatality which causes men who seem de signed to love each other to array them selves against each other without their own consent, I cannot conceal from my self that this is one of the beckoning* of fate to which we must submit. I could not advise my daughter to give herself to a man, at the sight of whom she must always be reminded of the most terrible tragedy of her life, whose hand probably directed the gun which put au end to her father’s life.” The Countess paused aud looked with peculiar interest at her young frund, who had listened with sad attention. “ For myself,” she said, then, “ yon seem (as much as I strnggle against it) more of a stranger than when I saw you for tho first time in the streets of this city. Doubtless you remember the con fession which I made to you once; since yesterday I can scarcely think of you "without "a shudder. I see yonr haudH stained with blood, ai_d yonr eyes full of hate and aDger, fixed upon my husband’s home. Every shot that you fired tore my heart; although I coustantly told myself that your duty aud honor requir ed you to obey your superiors, at the same time I wai obliged to force my self not to hate you, and when the flames gleamed over there, I knew that I had never loved any man but Hippo lyt, aud that the first danger in which I knew him to be, had proven it to me. This knowledge of myself comes too late—he is probably already dead—but, none the less will you doubt the sincer ity of my words.” With an effort which she could not entirely conceal, Walpurga extended her hand to the officer : “ I know, in spite of this, that yon are noble and will forgive all,” she con cluded, “and that you will make no de lay in informing me if I receive permis sion to go to the other shore, and then learn certainly whetiier or not ho still lives.” “ As soon as our troops have effected a landing, there will bo nothiug more, Conntess, to prevent your seeking the unfortunate place,” answered Walden, touching his cousin’s hand lightly. He felt that every comfort or excuse for tho occurrence, must sound like mockery; then he withdrew with a low bew—he knew that it was a farewell for life. The reneated commands of the Count ess were neoessarv to induce Pepi to conduet the officer out aud open the gate for him, as it already began to grow dark, and the gardener, like maDy of the inhabitants of Lareno, had taken flight. The little Viennese kept as far as pos sible from the handsome monster who had helped to batter down the Count’s villa, and who doubtless had further horrible designs against it and its mus ter. Even his sorrowful countenance ceuld not reassure Pepi. She waited until she could no longer hear his footsteps, and was just about closing the garden gate when Milialasy’s long pale face appear ed close before her, “Pepi, dearest Pepi !” implored the pseudo Hungarian, who seemed to seek protection in love against all the horrors which surrounded him. But screaming loudly, the maiden ran away in abhorrence from the incen diary. During the night the troops arrived, and at break of day the transporting began. They found the enemy’s shore stripped pf all active forces. At his own request Walden had been assigned to tho advance guard, and with peculiar feelings he landed in the little harbor whioh he had reached twice by swimming. The various articles that Tomasso had stored here had disappeared. The ad vance into the park required time and labor. Au abatis had been constructed of the handsomest shrubs and trees, and their half burnt tranks lay directly across the road. The roof hud fallen in, and the villa itself had been burnt to the ground floor. All the domestics had fled except the faithful SigQor Giacomo; he had brought his master (who had been severely wounded in the shoulder by a loose stone from the wall) into a cave dug out Qf tfie j-ocj?, and after the cannonading ceased, had taken him back into oue of the ground floor rooms that had escaped destruction. With beating heart, Walden approach ed the bedside of the wounded man. But instead of being received, as lie had expected, with gloomy silence or bitter saroasps, the Count extended his unin jured leff hand, anfi in answer to Wal den’s first words, he site] kindly; “J have nothing to f’orgiye. I am aware that in war a soldier has no will but that pf his superiors, and I know yon well enough t p bp sqre that your guns \ycV e not (Jirepted against this place in vengeance. If anything more is needed to calm you, you must know that tfie b otn i ; ! a fflniet)t of the villa has saved rpe froju worse tilings, perhaps, from court martial and death. I was mis taken whep I thought that I had placed myself above suspicion, by years of loy alty to the house of Savoy, After your escape, it was not doubted that I main tained a secret connection with my form er couutrymen, and there was a double motive in inakiDg my house a fortress— namely, to watch me, and at the same time to rpitp t-io apvautagea of my sup posed affiance fiy "securing a position tliat would' bo exempt from your fire. Your first shell,' which destrbyed my daughter’s room, was pay salvation, and rhjg'ppbffiy with y-iu continued firing ijeep and file from tJie tfarigerp'us JiTrn or of being considered yonr friend.

It was not long before the Conntess and Caroline stood at fiis {jedsiqe.— Upon ffieir ’aw'val" balden modestly withdrew, and after an impetuous greet ing from her father Caroline also left her parents alone. Immediately Hippolyt extended his hand to his wite, and said in a timid, trembling voice : “Forgfve me, if you can.” “I haye nothing to forgive, for t have misjudged yoif as cfeeply as yoff have me,” answered the Countess, beside the bed. “It is a sin not to be able to believe in goodness,” the Count began again. “But as much as I deserved yonr cold ness, I loved you too dearly, Walpurga, to be able to hear the confession of your love for another, withont the deepest convulsions of my innermost nature.” “It was an error of my heart, which I first realized when it cost me the love of my child. That was ngyer love which could be joyfully renounced even for one’s own child, and, yesterday, I hated the man whom I once believed I loved, for he had endangered your life.” “y 0 u did him injustice; the Austrian guns have saved ups, ad there is no man whom I honor tpore highly than your cousin.” “May your child’s happiness reward yon for these words, Hippolyt.” “Oar child’s happiness; yes, for ours’ is oyer,” began the Count, after a pause, and his face Plodded gs jf' all the shad ows of an unsatisfactory life ’ were pass ing over his spirit, “You can never for give the injury which I have done you, and if you could, I couli no longer re spect you.” “ Then do not respect me, Hippolyt,” said the Countess, rising, “ for I have forgiven you all, and tVo more readily since I know that everything which once wounded me was only love and care for my honor. You must not send me away from you, Hippolyt, on onr poor child’s account. Her proud young heart has been torp by her loye anti the suspi cions which you have implanted. She sends her lover from her because you have called him her mother’s lover. Only opr reconciliation will repew the engagement to which you consented in a most solemn hour. Why should we entail upon onr only ehild the unhappi ness of our misunderstandings? Do yon know Caroline’s answer when I tried te convince her ? ‘ I will b*-' ; j, ve yon, mother,’ she said- ‘ when I have both parents again.’ She is as firm as you. Therefore, despise me, but let us make onr child happy ” vjifitu shining eyes the sick man raised himself anfl put his arm around the Countess’ neck. Then he said gently : “ You are right, love knows neither love nor honor—not only for our child, bpt for ipy own sake, Walpurga, remain with me I” When Caroline was called into the room she found her parents with beam ing eyes and hand in hand, “ You told me once that Henry was better than L After all that happened since, I must believe yon. Above all, you have to thank him that yonr father still lives. Will yon reward him for this with a suspicion that he does not deserve ? Your parents are reconciled, will you perpetuate their errors ?” lcannot do otherwise,” said Caro line defiantly, while the tears ran down her cheeks. They sent for Walden. But be was not to be found. “He has gone away in anger; he loves me no more 1” thought Caroline, and her mother’s earnest face seemed to say that they could not complain if Walden, after being so long the sport of contra dictory humors, would listen now only to the voice of his own manhood. Troubled to death, Caroline walked out into the garden to visit once more before her departure the spots which had been so dear to her. The magnolia in front of her window was bare and scorched by the flames from the bouse, and the balcony of her room was clearly defined in the blue morning skv, for there was just so much of the wall left as was needed to support it. Then suddenly her little feet hesi tated. Strange sounds issued from the crevices of the walls. Not able to mas ter her agitation, she hurried to the door and the steps. The latter were half tumbling down, but by means of the balustrade she sprang aloft, and stood at the entrance of her room over which the light clonds now floated. The fur niture and the marble squares of the floor were covered with fragments of the walls and fell in under her weight. Only the piano stood npright., and before it sat an Austrian officer playing the chime of bells, as clearly as he had once played it on his gaitar. “Henry !” cried Caroline excitingly. With wet cheeks, Walden turned to her, and stood embarrassed and irreso : lute. But with the entreaty: “Forgive me, Henry !” Caroline hid her charming little face in his breast. Scarcely two rooms distant from them, burned to a cinder, with a smouldering beam directly across his crushed heart, Geronimo slept the eternal sleep. If he had lived he would have forfeited the reward offered by Kornfaessel for Wal den’s liberation, but Tommaso’s proper ty would have compensated him for it. Since the profit did not pay for the dan ger, Geronimo had really for years withstood every temptation to smuggle. But after he was once dragged into au adventure against his will and by a higher decree as he thought, he could no longer resist the electric current, and the next night, when the Austrian troops arrived in Lareno, Kornfaessel knew no body bnt him to recommend as a scout. Geronimo did not refuse the offered price, aud landed in his fishing boat a little distance from the villa Bandimiani, in order to approach it by a secret path. He had already ac complished his object, and had discov ered the abandonment of the villa by all the troops, when the sight of tho desert ed bouse in flames induced him to go after Tomaso’s legacy. He rushed into the blazing buildiDg, and never came forth again. When he did not return to Lareno, the troops set out without waiting for his information. A* short as the war had been it cost the brave Captain Kornfaessel his life. Walden and Mihalasy escaped un hurt. There was a little similarity in the history of the two officers, inasmuch as they both left the service—Walden to undertake the management of the Ca rinthian estates, belonging to his future mother-in-law, and Mihalasy to retire blissfully upon the laurels and savings of Mr. Michler. It was in the Spring of the year whioh had been so unfortunate for Austria. Caroline and Walden stood on the ter race of the Venetian palace of Bandin naoi, and in quiet, peaceful certainty of their happiness, looked down on the canal grande, where the gondolas fol lowed each other untiringly. Then Walden rose up suddenly in sur prise, and said; “The gentleman in that gondola is as muoh like our long lost Mihalasy as one hedge pole is to another.” His oostume also confirmed this opinion. The person in the gondo la wore the national dress of Hungary— laced coat, boot and cap. A bright red cravat gave him a still more romantic appearance. The elegant Magyar look ed through his gold eye-glass at the pair at the window, and a great agitation seemed to take possession of him as he ordered his gondolier to stop at the palace steps. Immediately afterward he found him self face to face with his former com panion in arms and his betrothed, and was cordially welcomed by both of them. While the Countess was present they spoke on all sorts of indifferent topics, but the brave Magyar seemed to be un der a certain restraint, and he glanced often at the door, as if he expected someone. At last became out with tho question with which he had been occu pied, aud hoped that the merry little waiting maid had been quite well. He did not finish, for Caroline could scarcely suppress |}er laughter, and Walden helfi his handkerchief to his lips. Only tfie Countess remained se rious. “Fepi?” asked she. “Oh, she is still P}y faithful companion, althqngh I am afraid tUfist sqqn he separated. These strange surroundings do not please her, and I fear she is often home sick,” Mihalasy became very silent, and be gan to play with his cap. Caroline and Walden arose and walk ed into the next room. “Pepi will be glad to meet an old ac quaintance of whom she has often spo ken,” began the Countess laughingly. “Has she really?” asked Mihalasy, eagerly, VCeftainiy—would you like me to call her F And without waiting for an answer, the Conntess loft the room. Immedi ately afterwards I’epi stood ou the threshold, itp a lo'jjt nry, spa would haye" tqrnfid ' bqt Br]iiit\lasy ad vanced tq meet her with giaat strides, and took her by the hand. Then he said with an eloquence which surprised himself that in peace and in war he had thonght only of her, and that he had no higher ambition than to purchase a little plantation somewhere, it tihe would go with bim as pis wife. Pepi, who was even rourider ffian of obi batoned not without emotion, and her’cheeks, which had beeh blanched by the }agooa aftfipaniiote: talingiy sjie said:’' " ' “I must confess I have thought often of yon because you wore so droll; but marry ? I have sworn never to marry q foreigner ,” “Bnt I am a Hungarian.” “That is the same thing,” decided Pepi, emphatically. Tipp'dly, Mihal'V'sy confessed that al though he was a Hungarian, he was de scended from a German father and German grand parents on his mother’s side, and therefore he was a full-blooded German. “That is a consideration,” thonght Pepi, “If you only looked like other people. But only imagine our taking a walk together in my native oity, All tfie school boys would tun after us. Be sides, you have such a fqnuy name. My good mother could never during life learn to prqnounoe it’” Mihalasy was sdent for some time and his glance rested thoughtfully upon his newly fonnd love. At last he made the greatest sacrifice of all for his dar ling. “My parents were really called Mich ler,” stammered he, “and if I wish there is nothing to hinder my taking that name again.” “Therefore it i$ Mr. and Iflrs, Mich ler,” said t*epi, smineg amid her tears, and giving her hand to the former lieu tenant.

We regret to learn, through him, that General Toombs has lost al most entirely the sight of one of bis eyes. He did not know that anything was the matter with his vision until last Snnday. Qn that day he went to hear Bishop Gross, of the Catholic Church, preach in Washington, While attempt ing to concentrate his vision on a pic ture in the ehureh by looking at it through his forefinger and thnmb, he suddenly discovered that he could not see with his left eye. The power of sight in that eye is not entirely destroy ed, but is so defective as to be of little serviee to him. What adds to the singu larity of the case is the fact that General Toombs’ father was affeoted in the same way five or six years prior to his death. Mr. T. W.

San r~-iNOTBOo, Jane 19. -Details of the Indian outbreak in Idaho and Ore gon show that the Indians had posses sion of Camas Prairie, except the town of Mount Idaho, which they are threat ening. Col. Perry, with one hundred soldiers, some citizens and friendly In dians, marched against them. Quite a number of men, women, children and teamsters were massacred. Twenty nine whites were killed. The whites have killed White Bird, chief of the hostiles, and his family. Later —Troops, with one hundred and fifty citizens from Mount Idaho, en countered the Indians at the head of White Bird Canon. The troops dis mounted and left a few of the soldiers and twenty friendly Indians to hold the horses. The Indians opened fire upon the troops, and fighting continued for some time. The soldiers guard ing the horses could see that the ludians were getting the best of the fight, and that the soldiers were retreating. The captain of the party of citizens and Sergeant Lytle, and one private, are known to have been killed. The whole of the horse guard, both Indians and whites, broke and ran, some for Mount Idaho and some for Lapevai, leaviug the horses to run loose over the prairies. Those comiug to Lapevai never stopped till they reached the post. Many houses ou the prairie have been burned. A soldier who reach ed the garrison at 8 o’clock, on the morning of the 18tb, from the fight, re ported that the troops were on foot and surrounded by Indians in the canon, and in a hand to hand fight. Col. Perry and about half of his command are said to have been killed. The remainder were surrounded' and fighting against odds when informant left. The Indians eugaged in the fight are non treaty Hez Perces. They, together with other dis affected tribes, number about two hun dred effective warriors. There ia a general uprising of savages, and the whole country is wild with alarm. Indians are massaere ing men, women and children on the Camas prairie, and settlers are fleeing in all directions for safety. General Howard ia at Lewiston, but powerless, owing to inadequate military force. Troops have been ordered from a num ber of posts in the department, and will soon be on their way to the scene of disturbances. General McDowell, commanding the Division of the Pao fic, lias been tele graphed to, and speedy assistance is de manded. Further sanguinary details are expected at Lewiston. Gov.

[ Correspondence Chronicle and Constitutionalist. \ Pine House, June 19.—After a long and continued drouth of about five weeks, which was beginning to prove very injurious to the corn crop, the rain came just in time to destroy much of the wheat and oat crop of this section. Vast quantities of the wheat crop were badly iujured by the heavy rains of the past week. It, being cut and shocked in the field, and thore not being sunshine enough to dry it, it was obliged to sprout. The yield of the wheat crop has been much better than that of the oat, and both would have been better had the rain come sooner. Cotton and corn have been very small up to this time, but the rain is bringing it out very fast. If the seasons continue good there will be a larger yield of corn this year than any year since the war. In view of the threatened war in Europe the farmers planted a larger area in corn than usual. Now that we have the right man in our Gubernatorial Chair, Legislature and other sub-officers, and plenty of area seeded to corn, let ns next look to the raising of hogs and cattle. When South Carolina does get to raising her own corn, flour, meat, &0., with the right men in office, she may then be said to be at the zenith of her glory. Dhawde.
