APOLLO OF THE ARENA.
BY WILLIAM H. BUSHMILL.
“What a handsome man!”
“I believe you are infatuated with him,
and he only a circus rider! I am asham
ed of you, Garnet Randolph.”
‘ Perhaps,” and the beautiful girl lifted
her eyes dreamily at her almost equally
fair cousin as she replied: “Perhaps I
6ee deeper into his character and right
position in life than you do, Isabelle."
Right position? Fiddlesticks! You
put me out of all patience with such
nonsense. Right position, indeed. As
if one with the slightest pretension to
even nlore than common decency, if that
much, would become the spangled hero
of a sawdust ring.”
“Spangled he is not- No one ever
dressed with less of tinsel and more refin
ed taste in his chosen walk of life. Hero
he is, for even your carping criticism can
not deny he is the peer of all riders you
have ever seen—that no one can approach
him in grace—that he is exceptionally
daring. I tell you, Isabelle, there is
something more than mere brute muscle
—there is mind in the direction of his
movements, and all around bow to its
mastery.”
“A prince in disguise! laughed her
companion.
“More than a prince in good looks, and
I shall be very much surprised if he is
not also one in education. His face re
veals that mnch, and his slightest motion
betrays the gentleman.”
“A gentleman circus-rider! A whites
black bird !" and Isabelle laughed long
and bitterly.
“Why not as much as in any other pro
fession ? Have yon forgotten the copy
you were so fond of writing at school,
and eternally dinning in my ears ?”
“ ‘Worth makes the man' and the rest?
Pshaw, I have learned better since
then.”
“Have gotten over yonr bread and but
ter days!” retorted Garnett, for the
first time permitting her tongue to drop
gall.”
T trust years have brought discre
tion.”
And a la Pitt, ‘the atrocious crime of
being a young—’ "
“Stop, Garnet There comes your he
ro again.”
“And a hero he is, every inch of him."
Charles Manvers—“Claude St. Leon,
the Appollo of the Arena, aB named in
the brilliantly-illuminated posters—pas
sed down ^tho street utterly un
conscious of being the cause of discussion
in the rival beauties. And it is doubtful
if the matter would have provoked even
as mnch as a smile had he known it
He was a singularly graceful and hand
some man—one wonld have said a close
student, rather than one living by deeds
of muscular and reckless during. His
figure was tall and lither—his eyes and
hair of extreme blackness—the former
most expressive, and the latter piled in
clustering curls around a shapely head.
His hands and feet were small, marking,
according to the prevailing opinion, aris
tocratic birth and “bine blood.” His
slrin was singularly fair, his manners a
trifle haughty, and the expression of his
face always sad.
Of his history nothing was known. A
vail carefully concealed it from the world
He has never known any other life, and
yet kept himself aloof from coarse asso
ciation—always left as soon as his part
in the performance was ended.
And this mystery made him the topic
of conversation among the easily dazzled
girls far more than wonld otherwise have
been the case, and had he been so dispo
sed he coold have persnaded many a fool
ish heiress into a match that wonld hav
little pleased her parents. The world
has yet to learn that many a manly and
true heart beats beneath the tinselled
garments of those who waste life and
strength for their amusement that they
have equal loves and sorrows more, of
physical suffering and few joys.
It was growing late in the afternoon,
and the hero of the arena pressed forward
to a distant part of the city, entered a
modest looking house, passed to the np
per story and into neatly furnished apart
ments, those of his mother and himself
and a single aged servant
“What makes yon so late ? asked his
patient in the qaernlons tone of one who
us long been an invalid.
“I was detained unexpectedly. I hope
yon are feeling better," he replied.
“Ton always are. Did yon bring the
money ? No, I am no better.”
He handed her a roll of bills, and tnrn
ed to the waiting table—be ate a hurried
meal before going to the amphithea
tre.
At the first glance one would have
said there could have been no relation
ship between the mother and son. She
was an old, hag-like woman—never coold
have possessed mnch of beauty, and he
must have inherited it from his lather,
of whom he had no recollection—most
have gotten from him, also, the taste for
study, in which he secretly indulged at
every available moment—the high ambi
tion—the fond desire to become famous
in the world through some other medium
Ri*n the one he was following.
Hi* mother, sick for years, and not
long to remain in this world, had hinted
at a strange union, and that was all he
could learn. Wonld the icy fingers of
death give to her lips free utterance ? He
had hoped, longed and prayed that such
might be the case. But till that hour
e*me he would have to beai£ patiently
with her ill-temper and grasping avarice
even though like a prisoned eagle beating
qpriast the bar for freedom.
His meal finished, he bade hie mother
yood night* sad peering into tk* dHtor
room, held a brief and whispered conver
sation with the servant, one who had
been very long with them.
“Shure an’ it s growin' worser she is
and it’s not for long she'll last, heaven
rest her troubled soul,” was the answer
he received to his questions.
“Do yon think she is likely to die tos
night ?” he questioned anxiously.
“Sorra the loikes ov me kin tell, but
it's bad she is intirelv.”
“And if she should die with the secret
I so mnch long to know unrevealed!”
“Black death opens both the heart and
the lips. Mistur Charles, an share she
will never dhrame of leaving you in the
dark, an' so good a son as ve have bin to
her.”
I hope not. The happiness of my fu
ture life depends upon it; or the utter
misery—who can tell ?”
“Heaven bless ye, bat there mast be
brighter days in store for ye. Bnt should
she sink in the death thaw, I'll find out,
so I will, that ye wants till know." And
the warm hearted Irishwoman locked
with detarmination in the direction where
the mntterings of the sick one could b
heard.
And he who was most interested of al!
of the earth listened as well. Then both
started, and in a moment were by tho bed
side—the bed over whieh the shadows of
the dark winged angel of death were fast
lowering.
It was too late! Respiration had al
most ceased ; the tongue was paralyzed;
the ashy lips moved, but gave forth no
sound, the eyes looked wistfully, and
the efforts to speak were painful to look
upon. Hor thin and bony hands still
clutched the money that had been given
her, bnt a great change had come over
the face. The stem and cold lines had
softened, and both the watchers saw that
she wonld have given all her hope for
this world—almost if not quite all for the
next, for even a very brief interval of
speech.
It was too late! Like many who die
thns suddenly, she had put off until the
hour of revelation was beyond her power,
and the secret died with her.
No, not so. Ab the nurse composed
the chilling form a scrap of paper was
found beneath the pillow upon which was
scrawled a few lines. She handed it to
her companion. He read it and sank into
seat with as fervent a “Thank God" ns
ever was breathed by mortal lips.
For a time he sat as one overcome by
good fortune. Then the striking of the
clock aroused him, and after a few hur
ried instructions, he rushed forth to play
his part, muttering as he went.
‘‘For the last time—the very last.
Heaven be praised, I am free.”
The. amphitheatre was crowded. It
was a gala night and the assembly far
more brilliant than usual. Every seat
was occupied, every eyes turned upon
him as he entered, dressed with unusual
beauty, and with his handsome face light
ed as no one had ever seen it before.
This was remarked by his associates
upon his first appearance among them,
and, though none questioned, it became
the snbject of comment. But the men
who cared for his horses ventured the
remark that he would need to bo upon
his guard.
“Why?" was curtly asked.
“I have never seen the mare so wild and
ngly as she is to-night”
“Pshaw! some one has been teasing,
and yon are afraid oi her."
“That may be, sir, and (under bis
breath) she is wild anyhow, and I don’t
think yon are mnch better."
Of the truth of his words the “Apollo
of the arena” became satisfied as he look
ed upon his favorite steeds. They were
two beauties, one white as milk, and the
other of raven blackness, with the con
trast striking as they dashed at wild
speed around the ring, he rapidly chang
ing position from one to the other.
The minor attractions having been gone
through with, he stepped from behind
the curtain, and was greeted with such
a storm of applause as to cause envy in
the hearts of all the other performers.
Nothing like it had ever been received by
them. But though his eyes wandered
coldly over the vast sea of eager faces, he
felt his bosom thrill at the triumphant
reception, and resolved to outdo all his
former efforts to make his name remem
bered for that night, if it never would be
from any other.
He bowed his acknowledgement as his
steeds were being brought in, sharing
with him the applause, and then sprang
to his place upon the coal black one, and
executed the most daring poses with an
ease and skill that almost robbed them of
the appearance of effort
The coal-black horse ran steadily and
revealed the perfect training ho had re
ceived, bnt the snow-white mare was res
tive and uncertain in her gait, and the
watchfnl eyes of those experienced in
snch matters instantly saw that she was
not to be relied upon when the trying
moment came.
With something of passion flashing
his handsome free, after having been
thwarted in an easy leap, the rider chang
ed his position to her back, checked her
furious speed—attempted to quiet her,
at and last dealt heavy blows with his
whip, leaving crimson ridges on the silky
hide.
A visible tremor shook the forms of
the ring-master, clown and attendants.
They knew she would never endure the
lash, and her back-drawn lips, flashing
eyes, and laid-down ears, told plainly that
all the larking devil of her nature was
aroused. The eyes of the fearless rider
met theirs. He understood their feel
ings bnt only smiled, and after riding at
the most reckless speed for a time, thrill
ing the heart of every looker on, he suc
ceeded in reducing her to something of
quiet and began making preparation for
tiie final and grand effoit.
This was one never before attempted
by any mMR in any ring. Reversing his
steeds so that they would ran in counter
directions at the same time, he proposed
to first leap from one the other while at
flying speed, and at last, in the crowning
effort, soubresant in the same desperate
manner.
The profession understood it far better
than the audience, bnt even they compre
hended enongh to sit with bated breath,
many shuddering, with turned away faces
—all as if hanging by a single hair over
some wild terror!
The most reckless feats ofrope or trap
eze were tame when compared to it With
them there was at least a shadow of cer
tainty, with him nothing! One horse
was flying beneath his feet, while he was
in the act of leaping to the other, and
that other bounding away even while he
was attempting to gain a footing!
Even under ordinary circumstances
the attempt to perform such an act was
very nearly allied to madness, with the
horses running steadily and truly was
hazardous in the extreme. But with one
of them now halting, now- dashing ahead
and erratic in her course, foolhardy was a
mild name for it, and lunatic was freely
oonpled with that of him who thus set at
defiance all regard for safety.
“Break his neck as true as Tm a sin

“Never saw such a fool in all my life :

leaped from the black to the white steed,
and was standing firm and kissing his
finger-tips to the audience, who were
wild with applanse.
Once again he repeated the daring act,
then paused to breathe himself and his
panting steeds, and Garnet Randolph
(who had been among the most interested
of the spectators) whispered to her fair
cousin Isabella:
“What think you now of my hero?”
“He is a hero indeed; but I wish to
heaven he would give over such acts. It
fairly makes the blood curdle within my
heart."
•‘Hush! he is starting again," and the
hands of the cousins were clasped and
pressed together in the intensity of their
breathless excitement.
The white mare whirled like a wind-
driven snow-flake to the right; the black
horse as a tempest swept thnnder-clond
to the left: the rider braced himself for
the effort, looked gaylv around, bowed,
and threw c somersault. The mare sprang

Amid the clnsh of eager men and fain
ting women, the unfortunate man was
liited up—a mere bruised, breathless life
less lump of clay!
‘Carry him to my house,” said a com
manding voice, and the words of so well-
known and respected a man as Dr. Ban
dolph were not to be disputed.
For a long time he (with others who
proffered their services) worked to save
the fleeting life, and in the end waB sue
cessful. Then the physician passed into
another room, where his daughter and
her consin were seated, and in answer to
their eager questioning, said:
“Garnot, the young man will live. His
fall was a terrible one, but he was simply
stunned. In a few days he will be able
to be about again.”
“And resume his matchless perform
ance, father?”
“That he will never do my child."
“Why, father?"
“Because he is my son and your broth

his having been stolen when very young
trained by the wretch of a women he
had called mother for her own selfish
ends—that she had died suddenly and—.
“My brother!” gasped Garnet, inter
rupting him. “Now I know why he pos
sessed so strong and powerful an at
traction for me. I most go and see him.”
“In good time, my child.
That good time soon came. The “Apol
lo of the Arena" disappeared from public
life, and the majority fancied he had been
instantly killed: but Garnet and her cous
in knew this was not the case, and the
former was not surprised when, a year
later, the latter whispered to her of a
love that had grown into her young life.
“So you have fonnd your hero, Isa-
bele ?"
“Yes," with a rosy blush.
“And an ‘Apollo of the Arena?”
“Yes; but the arena is circumscribed—
is only my very heart of hearts!”
The Relic of Fhar»oh’s Times.
About three years ago, when the East
Genese (N. Y.) Conference was held at
Elmira, the basement of Hedding Church
was nsed for a general committee room.
As I was standing there a yonng friend
whom I will call Wilkins came along and,
reaching oat his hand, deposited in mine
a circular piece of red enameled subtance,
about the width and twice the thickness
of a silver dollar. I smiled, and Wilkins
remarked: “I am going to fool some of
these old heads, see if I don't. I am go
ing to see if they are as innocent as they
pretend. I’ll bet some of them know a
confounded sight more than they are wil
ling to tell, anyhow. Yen just watch
me!”
He began to turn over and scrutinize
the red disk until a reverened brother
approached him with considerable cu
riosity depicted on his countenance.
“What have you got there? ’ asked the
reverend.
“Ob”, said Wilkins, “that is a relic of
the times of Pharaoh; a sort of charm
called a check.”
“But where did you get it?”
“Ob, one of my brothers who was off in
the East hunting the tiger came back
thro’ Egypt and brought this with
him.”
“Indeed; that is very curious. Wonder
what they used ’em for? How red and
smooth it is! Very curious indeed.”
“Yes,” dryly remarked Wilkins, it is
not often we are favored with the sight
of such a relic.”
“Here, Brother Brown;” and the cler
gyman motioned to another reverend who
stood near him.
“Here is one of the Egyptian relics;
some sort of a charm, you know.”
“A what? It’s some kind of money,
most likely. Who knows bnt that the
children of Israel were paid in such as
this for making brick for the pyramids.
It's made of ivory, ain't it?”
Other brethen came up, and the •‘relic
of the times of Pharaoh" circulated free
ly, creating a great deal of interest Some
of the clergymen suggested that it was
some ornament for a woman, most like
ly." Others thought it mu6t have been
used for money, and others that it was
a charm used by that mommy-making
people. Brother T, said:
“I wish I could have that to use in my
Sunday-school class next Sunday. The
lesson is on Joseph down in Egypt; and
anything like that creates such an inter
est in the Bible class, you know."

The Cabinet meeting was for the con

Grant.—Judge Lyons, of Richmond,
writing to Gov. Kemper on the Lonisi
ana outrage, says:
Nothing so atrocious has been said
or suggested, and nothing like it ever
done, since the massacre of the Hngne
nots and the subjugation of “the fair land
of Poland” and the slaughter of her chil
dren. I have sustained the President, as
you know, in his early proceedings in
Louisiana—sustaining the Kellogg gov
ernment because I believed the law an
thorized them, and honestly believed he
wished to do right; and I will not believe
he has authorized or will sanction these
proceedings, or lend a willing ear to this
howl of his butcher dog for tiie blood ot
Southern men, bnt if he does, he onght
to be immediately impeached ard expell
ed from office, and the infamous Phil ar
rested and sent to look after “Capt
Jack.”
There are a great many persons in the
South who charitably hoped that Grant
would he a good boy; bnt the man pans
out badly, of late.
The rights of the five members to their
seats in the Louisiana legislature, from
which they were ejected by the bayonets
of the federal army, are very clearly pr#
seated by Hon. R&ndall Gibson, congress
man elect from Louisiana:
The five members admitted to their
scats after Wiltz had been elected tempo
rary speaker and bad sworn in all the
members whose names were on the roll
furnished by West, had not, it is true,
been returned by tho returning board,
but they had been declared elected by
the careful commissioners of election in
their parishes. Their right to their seats
was not contested. No body at any time
disputed their right to their seats. The
board took no action in the matter. It
simply leferred these parishes to the
house of representatives, not as contest
ed parishes nor disputed parishes. All
the board could do under the infamous
law creating it was to canvass and com
pile, to reject or admit certain members.
They did not reject these members nor
admit them; they declined to act.
These five members were therefore in
the house, and clearly entitled to their
seats, which were not contested. They
were not admitted till after all the mem
bers on the roll had been sworn in and
qnalified. Wiltz was elected permanent
speaker by fifty five votes, two having
been cast for Hahn, and one blank mak
ing fifty eight present, or two more than
a quorum.
A Huge Standing Army.
A late Washington telegram to the
Cincinnati Commercial says “one of
-he plana of the Southern Repnblicans,
vhich has been determined upon by the
wnens committee, is to propose the in-
•rease of the standing army to 100,000
nen." Under ordinary circumstances a
correspondent who would attribute such
> design to any man, or set of men in
Congress, would be considered a lunatic,
^he -Chattanooga convention even did not
*et as far as this. It made a summarized
statement concerning the White League,
tnd intended to supplement it with an
earnest call for “more troops," bat this
•vas struck out upon the recommendation
>f Senator West The army now con
sist* of 25,000 men of all arms, strong
mongh for all legitimate purposes. If
dl the organizations in the service were
recruited up to the maximum, the rank
ind file of the army would number 45,-
000 men, which would be the largest
number possible without creating new
regiments. There is no prejudice more
ie. ply rooted in the American mind than
thi.t against a large standing army, and
it is not to be presumed that such a
m netreus prepooitien ar, that men
tioned by the Lu:r.mercials correspond
ent is seriously enterui:r>ed by any one.
Indiana's Tarn May Come-
Indianapolis, January 8.—Gov. Hend
ricks thus refers to Louisiana affairs in
his message: “I had intended to restrict
this communication to subjects that are
of special interest to the State of Indiana,
and had written all I intended to say,
.vhen it became known to the conntry
that a free, representative goverment had
been broken down in the State of Louisi
ana by military violence._ It is a funda
mental right, and .essential to free insti
tutions, that a legislative body shall be
the jndge of the qualifications, elections
and returns of its own members. It is
declared in our Constitution, in the Con
stitution of the United States, and the
Constitution of Louisiana, it is exclusive,
and no power, not even the Judiciary,
can interfere with or question it; it is a
prerogative of the State, because without
it no free State can exist Without any
pretext of domestic violence that right
has been taken away from the popular
branch of the Legislature of Louisiana,
and the members recognized by that
body have been driven from the hall by
armed soldiers, under the command of
United States military officers, and oth
ers not reoognized by the body as mems
bers have been seated as snch. The cause
of the House of Representatives of Lou
isiana and of its constituency is yo,ur
cause, and will be the cause of tho peo
ple your represent I ask yon to protest
against and denounce the usurpation as
crime to be detested and not a prece
dent to be respected.

Strong Testimony-
Some rather stesthng testimony from
Northern men, ex-Fedcral soldiers dur
ing the war, wae given at the New Or
leans indignation meeting. John A.
Thompson, Col of a 7
thus spoke:
Among other things I tell yon that if
an outrage like that perpetrated here
yesterday occurred in New York the
streets wonld ran with blood. It is not
that Louisiana is attacked. This may
go on tin til it may one day sweep
Massachusetts. I tell yon, if this condi
tion of things continues, I have lost my
leg for nothing, and, instead of decorating
the graves of onr Union soldiers with
flowers, we should write the word “fool"
on each headboard.
Mr. Crcikbhamx, a member of the sec
ond Machnssetts regiment, an old com
mand of Shkbidak's, thus delivered him
self :
I say that his dispatches are simply
false. I have been through the streets of
this city, and made it my business, to
see whether the lives of citizens, even
though they were from the North, were
safe, and I fonnd that I could trust my
wife and family here with as easy a heart
aa anywhere else."
Well, it does look a vast number of
men had made a botch in this fight for a
Constitution and Union.

An animated and prolonged discus

opposing Virginia’s taking the initiatory

ter. It was the general opinion, bower

of sentiment through her Legislature in
the form of a protest against the action of
Gen. Grant in relation to Louisiana, and
an appeal to the American people for
redress, and also to express the deep and

A BzACTirnL, Thought.—God knows
what keys in the human soul to touch, in
order to draw out ite -weeter and more
perfect harmonies. They may be the
minor strains of sadness snd sorrow; they
may be the loftier notes of joy and glad
ness- God knows where the melodies ol
onr nature are, and what discipline will
bring them forth- Some with plaintive
tongues must walk in lowly vales of life’s
weary way; others in loftier hymns sing
of nothing but joys, as they thread the
tops of life; but they all unite
without discord or jar as the ascending
anthem of loving and believing heart-

Grant's Coup dWat—Alarm of the
Aepublicans.
A Washington special to the Courier-
Journal says, “The Republican party in
Congress are evidently staggering under
the load of the Louisiana iniquity. The
leaders are appalled at the strength and
intensity of public opinion on the sub
ject. It is now well understood that
among the Republicans there is a strong
under current of opposition to these
proceedings, and that many of them
agree with the Democrats in the convic
tion that Grant’s operations in Louis
iana are merely the opening of a revolu
tionary advance to a third Presidential
term. As for Grant he entered into this
basiness deliberately, and is ready to
adhere doggedly to his position regard
less of public sentiment, if only Congress
will sustain him- The number of Repub
licans who say that Grant has irretrieva
bly ruined their party is on the increase.
The Speaker of the House, Mr. Blaine,
is generally believed to be anxious for an
abandonment and repudiation of Sheri-
dan’s high handed act, and the friends of
Secretary Bristow and Postmaster-Gen
eral Jewell affirm that they are not re
sponsible for the indorsation given by
fiac [feiT T*M»qi to the Sheridan coup
d’etat. The sentiment of the Democrats
is one of admiration and sympathy for
the people of Louisiana, and a perfect
conviction that the Republican party is
hopelessly damned by the usurpations
and projected attrocities of the Grant-
Sheridan regime in Louisiana. The ea-
gerneea for debate on the Republican side
teas vanished, and it is now the Demo
crats who are pressing their opponents
to the wall.
Good Points.—When it was proposed
to clear the Senate galleries, the other
day, by policemen, Tdton said “If the
Sergeant-at-Arras cannot keep order, we
nave the Army of the United States.”
The Governor of Tennessee thanks
Providence that the Legi la ture of that
State is permitted to “organize peace
ably.”
Old Bill Allsh, Governor of Ohio,
says if there are any laws on the statute-
book authorizing President Grant to in
terfere with States as he has done, they
should be repleaded; and if there are not
snch laws, that Grant himself should be
repealed!

sachusetts and Pennsylvania? Any

Possibly.—To believe that there ia any

dan, end Edmunds sad Conuso, and the
