But oi course those women, and a host of othor female relations, wore not going to bo wiser than he, Luoian Lofebvre, captain of Engineers and col onel by brevet, stationed at tho capital, and guardian of the nation’s citadel—dancing duty, Bell called it. ‘‘Introduced lo that doll ?" said Bell, when ho came up to them, at the Secretary’s, proposing tliUjii^ttylpolion. Bull was tho mairiud sister; flolou was unmarried, and a little passce, but a porson.-jof^liguity. “Why, does hho talk?" “Quito a piece of mechanism,” said his aunt. “Very well put.together." Lefebvro looked at them in amazement and indignation, “Really," said he, “it is wonder- iu! what women are made ot.” “Not this one," said Helen, deliberately put ting up her glass. “JSho is false from tho crown of her head to tho solo of her lout, llow can you bo so taken in ? I don’t know what you are made oi, Lucian, to think of introducing such a creature to your sisters, uor how she made her way here." Ho was just turning on his heel iu speechless anger, but remembering that he hud left tho side of tho lady iu dispute for tho avowed pur pose of bringing his sisters to her, he exclaimed “Whatever she is, some oi you must como with mo and bu presented to her, as I am here lor that purpose, aud I will not have her insulted.” “Indeed !” said lleluu, looking over tho top of huf 1'umiuto iutiuite spape, but not stirring. “I will go, Lnoian,” said Laura, who had not spokon. “Come, Bell, help mo out." “Well Laura, for a little goose! However I will uivor desert a companion in arms. Do you suppose she has observed our council ot war?” as they moved off beside Lucian, with his chiu well iu tho air. “She is a lino picture. A per son should go on the stugo I hut can make up us well as that. I should like to see her iu tho pri vacy ol her midnight retirement. How old do you think? Forty?" Forty !” cried Lucian. “I heard her my soil arranging ior a | tcuic on her twouty-third birth day." “How touching ! Iu the life to come. Her twenty-third ! She’ll never see her forty-third again in this life. ’* “Hell!" “Oh yes, Lucian; if you oliooso to force un welcome acquaintance on your family, at least they must enjoy freodom of opinion concerning it. Tho very set the woman is with speaks for her.—Good evening, general. What a crush ! All because of this young Russian hero,a beauty, isn’t he? Ah, you too are making lor the cyno sure, I see; ail the world is being presented. It will never do to follow the fashion.” Aud directly Lucian was presenting liis sister Mrs. Gamier,aud his cousin,Miss Laura Nelson; and Mi-h Nelson had behaved exactly us Lucian wished; and although ho could never have said what was wanting in Mrs. Garnier’s behavior,he knew that a challenge of defiance was in her very ait, and that lu*r mere manner had told the other woman what she thought of her. Purhups Bell pmauuic.fl 111,a ilmt >viib tlio way to innuugu him. Ho would shortly let her know. Colonel Lelebvro came clattering down stairs next morning, his Itorso waitiug at the door. “Whither bound, Lucian?" cried Helen from tho library. “To rido with Mrs. Do Berrian.” “Oh, your new widow,” nho said, gayly. “Have you called yet ? No ? II nv very accom modating m her to lido with yon first!” “Sne is nut a puuotiiious fool,” he muttered, drawing on his glove. Certain punctilios," put in Aunt Susan, “are only self-respect.” “It you will go and call with me, Nell” said Lucian, “I’ve no doubt she will postpone the ride." “Now, Lucian dear you know I hate not to gratify you," said Helen. “But really the last thing Bel* said was that it would not do. She should not call, nor could I, if lor nothing t-lse, for littlo Laura’s sake, who is too young aud iu- uoceut to have anything to do—” ♦*frsnt as you please,” he said angrily, and hud slammed the door behind him. You cau imag ine his surpriso when, as he reined his horse up at tho steps of tho house where Mrs. De Berrian was visiting, he saw his cousin Laura coming down with Mrs. Vaughn, a leader of the fash ions, with whom she sometimes went out; for Laura was an heiress, and but little gainsaid in her wishes. “I thought you would like to have me,” Laura said, timidly looking up with her brown eyes, as he dismounted. She never did have any spirit. “It is just like you, Laura,” ho said fervently. “I—I don’t think you will admire her so much by daylight," she said, again timidly; and he had laughed and handed her into the carriage and disappeared before she knew she had ven tured to say so much. But a rnoro judicious curtain had been dropped within the drawing-room; and as Mrs. Do Ber rian sat pensively leaning her head on her baud that bore a gleaming sapphire, a dark curl stray- iug over tho contour of the white hand set in its lace ruff, and tho damask shadow of a great vase of roses on the table, taller than herself, falling round her, Colonel Lefebvro thought lie did ad mire Mrs. De Berrian quite as much by daylight —although it occurred to him later that Bell would have called it rose-light or curtain-light instead. Ho was confirmed in his admiration beforo he leit her. He was not sure but that by tho time ho saw Mrs. De Berrian again he should be really in love with her. And his little cousiu Laura? Well, thank Heaven, he could afford to marry.where he chose. She was rather an enchanting woman after her kind. “I will tell you about her,” said Laura to CQUpins, when she had endured their re proaches. “She makes it a vital point to please —in her pctBon, her manner, her voice. Her face oan-only afford smiles, so sho never resents, not even such a look aB Bell’s. She was charm- ngly dressed. She is visitiug people just on the verge of society, Mrs. Vaughn says, but she doesn't seem to belong to them. It is my belief that she has had moueyj run through nearly all of it, and that this is her last throw for station and a husband." Laura, where in the world," cried her dis pleased aunt, “did yon pick up such—” “French novels," said Bell, who had ran ovor. I must say, Laura, I thiuk you took a great deal on yourself. Now she will return the culL" •She—sho would like to be respectable," stammered Laura. “And you know veiy well that if. you want Lucian to go aud marry such a woman out of hand, you have only to persecute her.” “Persecute her 1 You do use select terms. Wo let her alone—which you had better have done*” •‘I—I didn't want Lucian to bo mortified.” “So yon mortify us." Aud by tho tiuio Lucian came home, Laura was iu a flood of tears, and subbed out, iu reply to his amazed inquiry, “Oh, they are abusing mo so 1” And then every ono laughed at tho idea of their abusing little Laura, tho darling of tho house. “Well, well, Laura" said ho. “I’ll not abuso you. I invito you to our picnic to-morrow to Great Falls. Mrs. Do Berrian will chaperon you." “Mrs De Berrian 1" roso the chorus. “Madame Arroyo, tho Spanish minister’s wile, invitos her." “Well, to bo Buro," said Boll, catching her suspended breath, “nobody knows anything about her either—an adventuress, all tho lega tion say." “Tho Count Zara escorts her. I suppose no body knows anything about him." Tlio Austrian nttacho —yos, ho hit Nell hard then, ho thought. “And tho young Russian duko that enchauted you ho—" “Oh, men, all of thorn 1" “Very line men, aud somo of tho finest ladies at tho capital. I'll tako cure ol you, Laura, if you’ll go." “I’ll go Lucian." “Perhaps she’d best," said Bell to Ilo’en, at tho door. “I shouldn’t let him out of my sight, if I woro slio." It was a month later when Boll ran over ono evening, as usual, now thegayeties were so low, aud sat talking gloomily with Helen. “I uevor would liavo believed it of our Lucian,” said she. “Ail but engaged, as he was, to Laura, and with her fortune, that would huvo just doubled his own, and she so gentle—and now perfectly lost nnd iniatuatod over this French doll." T can't imugiuo that it is tho same brother who turned palo when wo came down with car mine on our cheeks tho day aftor wo first saw the French play, aud who expostulated with us so." “Oar turn now." “Ho would liavo made Laura such a good hus band," said ouo. “But now this demoralizing woman—' And while they woro bomoaning his deelino and fall, tho subject of their complaint whirling away in a palace-car, surrounded by wraps and rugs and lunch baskets and periodi cals aud French candy and Mrs. Do Berrian, the wax-lights shining softly down from above on the charming picture tho lady made, ns, having removed her hat, sho leaned back among her cushions under the shelter of tho rose-colored scarf passed over her dark curls. Mrs. De Ber rian had been summoned to New’ York on im portant business; Colonel Lefebvro had sudden ly found that ho had business there too. Mrs. Do Berrian perhaps mount to give him some business beforo ho returned. Neithor ol them was aware that behind the curtains of u neigh boring section, whoso berths had been made up aud occupied just as tho train started, reposed one of his aunts nnd his cousin Laura. II simply nn infatuation over mere beauty were in case, no one could marvel at Colonel Lefebvre’s infatuation. By candle-light at night, behind a veil out-doors, in tho dim, deep-cur tained drawing-room, Mrs. Do Berrian was worthy n painter’s pencil—delicate features, scarlet lips; deep dimples, penciled brows, the sparkle of teeth, tho salt dark glow of great eyes, the snowiness ol tho forehead under mul titudinous waves ol shadowy hair—beauty could hardly bo butler imaged forth, although possi bly one might tiro of it, and oi the set unvary ing smile, for all its sweetness. Luciau had not tired of it yet; once or twice there had crossed his mind a suspicion that its owner was not al together a woman of high principle, but wheth er he had put tho thought away as treasonable, or had lelt with a not unusual masculine vanity that he could change all that, or had not just then cared so much for high principle, it did not hinder His own color from mounting when he looked at hors, or his pulse from quickening when this woman touched his hand. As for Mrs. Do Berrian, slio was I oginuing to feel a tolerable assurance that at last her pendulous position on “the verge of society” was to be ex changed for tho fixed and solid station of a member of the Lefebvro family, with all their wealth and rank, their respectability, considera tion and friends. Aud when it should be—why then she meant to show tho women in that fam ily who she was. It came near being a settled fact that night as they rolled comfortably along,almost all the rest of the car behind their curtains, tho soft light, half gloom, half light,falling softly on tho lovely face, a setting moon travelling with them, and looking in tho window at every turn. Colonel Lefebvro had changed his seat for ono at the la dy’s side, that tho sleepers might not be troubled by their voices—his voice, lather, for it was ho that talked; sho listened, with tbo lovely smile, tho musical w< rd. llis arm lay along tho back of the set, his face was bending over hers; her great eyes wore cast up at him in tho dim light; her lips seemed to Ire in Ido. He was noting tho gentle rise and fall of her breath, tho charm ol every outline of tho beautiful head resting on that hand with its beaming sapphire, aware of a stmugo quick throb with the thought, half a cer tainty, half a fear, that all this was doubtless his should he chooso to take possession— “Tickets!" said somo one at his elbow—the conductor, who had come aboard at tho last sta tion, and who mistook them for a portion of the gay party that had been taken on with himself. It broke the spell lor that night. Colonel Lefebvro started to find how late it was, aud went away lo his berth leaving Mrs. De Berrian, ill pleased, to order tho porter about as he made up her own. Colonel Lefebvro woko very early on tho next morning from his iitlul slumber, restless with feeling and with heat, aud looking from his win dow, saw that they woro rolling along the green flats ot New Jersey. Then ho half parted his curtains, and took au observation down the car. Some one was up beforo him—somo young girl; ho could not see plainly, with all tho obstruction of drapery. There was a familiar fling of a scarf. Good gracious ! was that his oousin Laura? The sight of her made him fall back on his pillow aud begin to recall the oveuls of the night be fore. It was just then that somo one came rust ling by his closed curtains—a lady who wished to make her toilette before the rest of tho car was astir. The sound slopped short; tho per son did not go on. Instinctively Colonel Lefob- vre glanced through tho crack of his curtains. A uotting of the lady’s fringe had caught on the hook of some projecting valise—tho porter was disengaging it—an oldish,frowsy sort ol woinau. Ouo uplifted baud grasped tho onrtaiu for sup port; upon it shone a gleaming sapphire. The drops started out on his forohead. Was it—Im possible ! Ho sat up aud gazed at her. She held a toilette case iu her other baud. She was making for tho littlo dressing room. There was the same brouzo green lustre of silk, the same black lace about tho throat, the lapel of the same rosy scarf of woolen gauze had been that instant thrown up from her faoo. But. that face 1 No; it was an absurdity* And yet— It had been a horribly hot night, tho best of paint would run; the best of powder would cake and roll off; tho poneiliug of brows would rub all about; the pig ment that so darkened aud increased tho eyo would smear hero aud there raggedly. What had happened to that moulh ? Or woro iu her hand. The dimples—they were two long lurrowv; tho scarlet of the mouth had some how streaked them. Aud as for tlio dropping curls—they were dropping off. Tho beautiful Adelaide Do Berrian had gouo out like tho blown flame of a candle, and left only tho ashes—had lelt only a worn and withered woman with white lips, and a wrinkled pallor that was blotched and bleared, whose faoo had been a mask, “whoso mother was her painting." “ 'False from tho crown of her head to tho solo of her foot,’ " he repeated, in Helen’s words, find shut bis eyes; and thore sat Laura, brown- oyod and fair, with her smooth hair, a littlo Ma donna of a face, as ho opened them again. An hour afterward, tho othor women of the car hav ing clamored iu vain tho lust third of that time for admittance, an elegant lady issued* from tho dressing-room,crimped and curled and powdered —a bloc ruing, smiling picture—seated herscll in her rearranged section,and awaited her cavalier. Sho waited a long while. When she was in tho dressing-room that cavalier had stepped oil' tho train at Elizabeth. As Colonel Lefebvro sat iu his aunt’s room in the Brevoort that night, ho replied to her query concerning his gloom, “Let mo be. I have a right to bo a littlo disturbed. I Lavo lost a friend. I have escaped a torrible danger. I have found au invaluablo possession that I had mislaid. What did you briug Laura here for? Her Rummer finery? I am going to tako her a long drive in tho park to-morrow morning. Say, Aunt Maria, don’t you make any purchase till wo como back. And, Aunt Maria, don’t you think it would be stealing a flue march on them all at home if Laura and I went back on one ticket—" “Ono ticket;?" “Well, no, not exactly. Husbauds and wives arc not ono financially—nro they? Railways haven’t any sentiment." ALU THAT COULD KB ASKED. [From the Atlanta Constitution.] A number of papers in Georgia, some of them friendly to Atlanta aud others opposed to her have frequently called upon tho Constitution to say whether or not Atlanta would renew to tho people tho liberal proposition she made to tho Convention concerning the buildiug of a capitol. The Meriwether Vindicator has beeu especially solicitous, aud has said that hundreds oi white votes in that county depended upon the renewal of the proposition. The matter has been con* stautly alluded to by our enemies with a sneer, and by our friends with auxiety. Tho Constitution has said nothing on the sub ject heretofore, simply because it did not desire to speak without authority. Whilo it recog nized the fact that Atlanta was under no sort of obligation to renew tho proposition, it felt that tho city would not fail to be as liberal with the people themselves as it had hecu with theii rep resentatives. Perfectly coulideut that tho coun cil would renew tho proposition,tho Constitution has awaited official actiou, which it presents this morning. It will be seen that Atlanta renews in precise terms tho proposition she laid belote the conven tion. The action of tho couuci! on tho mutter, duly atlesiel, has been placed on file in tho ex ecutive department. This proposition is not only liberal, it is munificent. It is a gift from Atlauta of $1150,000 in value. The renewal of this proposition ir all that the friends or enemies of the city have asked for. Wo ask that it bo received fairly by the newspa pers that have been discussiug the matter. That is all we ask. It may bu urged by tho enemies of Atlanta that tho constitution prohibits any city trom making such a gift us Atlanta offers. Wo call attention oi such persons in advance to pur. 1, sec. vi. of tho constitution, where it is especially recited that, “if any municipal corporation shall offer to the State ouy property for locating or buildiug a capitol, and the Slate accepts such offer, tho corporation may comply with such of fer." This clauso was inserted by motion ol Mr. Ilammond, on purpose to meet this very case. Wo herewith append the offer in detail: City Cleiik’h Office, I Atlanta, September 19, 1877. J At a called moctiug of tho mayor and council of the city of Atlanta, tho following resolution was unanimously adopted, and the same was unauimou8ly concurred iu by the aldermauic board—viz: Whereas, The enemies of Atlanta are repre senting that Atlanta’s proposition to the conven tion was not made in good faith—and, Whereas, It was made in the utmost good faith, Resolved, That wo do hereby repeat tho same, aud now declare that if Atlauta is selected as tho capital of tho State by tho people iu Decem ber next, the city of Atlanta will convoy to the State ol Georgia any ten acres of land in or near tho city of Atlanta now unoccupied, or tho square in tho heart of tho said city known as tho city hall lot, containing five acres of laud, and bounded by a street on every side.ou which to locate and build a capitol tor the State. Resolvetl further, That tho city of Atlanta will build for tho State of Geoxjm, ou tho location selected, a capitol buildiug as good as the old capitol iu Milledgcville. Resolved further, That a copy of this actiou, sigued by tho Mayor and certified to by the Clerk of Council under the soal cf his office, shall be deposited with the Governor of this Stale, aud bo published for the information ot thepooplo. * N.

My friends, in tho few remarks I have had tho honor of making as I have been iu this triumphant precession of tho President I have studiously avoided uny allusion to politics. 1 have tried to subordinate them entirely to a feel ing of patriotism, aud I urgo upon you now, mon of tho South, as far ns possible, to forgot past differences between our people, to devote yourselves to developing uud opening up tho bust resources ot this oountry. I want to urgo upon you this thing, uud wo will have powor and peace uud happiness ovenuoro. I huvo not spoken oi politics. It was ray misfortune, perhaps, to differ in politics from tho President ol tho United Slates, but Democrat I am, Democrat as I have beeu, thore is no man iu America to whom I moro cheerfully,cor dially and willingly do honor than tho Republi can President of tho United States. I do that, my friends, becauso ho is showing that he is tho President of tho wholo Uuitod States. I do that because he, in the very uct of his administra tion, lilted that great pressure which was upon the neck of my own people. Mauy of them who said that he had but done his duty had never smelt powder. Show me the mau who will do his duty without fear and without lavor aud who v ill not do moro than his duty, aud I will clasp hands with him and will stand ou the same platform. [Applause.] die has brought back peace to our people; he has shown that tho men who have fought each other cau meet in peace and fraternity 7 , without any loss of respect. Wo could not do it when the State was piuued down by bnyouets, and tuy right arm should liavo dropped from my shoulder be fore I would have given my hand in peaco while my State was pinned down by bayonets.
