“What is it to-day?” M. Albano would
inquire, as lie seated himself at bistable,
with his feet on a morsel of goat-skir
placed there for them. “What is it to
day, Wilhelm?”
And Wilhelm used invariably to place
a white dimpled fore-finger against the
name of some particular dish on the
card, and that was the dish M. Albanc
invariably chose.
It was not long before Wilhelm found
out that M. Albano was, like himself, a
Hungarian, and, like himself, an exile.

Wilhelm told the little old man his

man told Wilhelm liis. There was some
difference, nevertheless, in their stations

had been but a junior engineer.
“And so you are really going?” said
Wilhelm, as lie stood one day near^ liis

“Really going, Wilhelm.”
“Oh, dear! Monsieur, 1 shall sadly miss

On July Gth, the Unitea States
Minister sought from Mr. Marescol,
“Nay, nay, nay; never there again.
What matters imperial forgiveness? Can
■ft king mend a broken heart, even if he
could restore my fortunes? Could I gaze
without grief on those green-wooded
hills and valleys that once were mine?
Could I mingle with the good people who
dwell there—and who once called me
lord—without sadness? No, Wilhelm,
no. My homo is near London, tb mo
of the refugee, the only city in tin hole
world amid the bustle and stir a which
an exile may woo forgetfulness.
Wilhelm lingered by the table for a
few moments. lie was deep in thought.
“M. Albanol” he said at last, “to have
employment in London has loi^ been
with me an ambitious dream—a castle in
the air—call it what you will. I hate
the garb of servility in which you now
see mo. Oh! there are times, monsieur,
that I walk my room all night, wild in
thought, because I feel I was born for
letter things. Yet 1 try to do my duty
~-my humble duty.”
“Yes. yes, yes,” said Albano, speaking
more briskly than was his wont. “That
Is right—do your duty. I trust I do
mine, humble though that is. Do not
let pride interfere with that duty. Be
not self-conscious. Concentrate your
thoughts and energies in youi; work,
menial though some may call it. Be
lieve me, Wilhelm, a halo surrounds the
head of that man or woman who does
whatever his or her hand findeth to do,
in no half-hearted way, but with a \vi
a purpose, and an honest pride of act i< i,
letlittg—wa“djv that duty is a sacra i
thing. Study to be content with ib".
state in which Providence has placed
you, Wilhelm. Study that—study that.”
“But, monsieur, you would then leave
ambition out of count.”
“No; oh, no! Only let your ambition
be subservient to your duty. The march
of intellect—the march of the world—is
ever, over onward. Better yourself, by
nil means, if you can: by so doing you
may better the world; but ambitious
thoughts or actions must never interfere
with your hours of labor. These belong
to your present employer, Wilhelm.”
“I see, monsieur.”
“Well, see and think of it. Meanwhile,
here is a pass for the Grand N r con
cert. You will see me and my little
violin in the second row of the orchestra.
You will wait for me, and we will sup
together at the Rliondeville.”
High over a score of fiddlers at the
grand concert that evening, M. Albano’s
little violin seemed to ring—seemed, at
all events—in Wilhelm’s ears, just as one
hears and can listen only to the nightin
gale’s voice amidst the babel of bird-
voices in the woods in early spring.
After the performance, Wilhelm waited
for what appeared quite a long time for
his friend. All the other musicians had
dressed and filed away, but still lie came
not.
Wilhelm ventured at last to ask one in
authority.
“Oh. no!” was the reply; “M. Albano
has not gone. He is talking to the man
ager. The manager wants him to stay
on, but he insists on throwing up liis en
gagement.”
“Strange!” said Wilhelm.
“Yes.
Y'es.
mv little cottage dome ?”
So the two parted.
NY inter was still holding sway, and
snow lay deep all round Paris; but in
nine weeks’ time what a change there
was! With Paris, however, this short
and simple storj r has no longer anything
fco do. The scene shifts to a tiny but
beautiful cottage in Surrey. It stands
on the slope of a gently-rising hill, and
is almost buried in pine woods.
“Yes, Wilhelm,” M. Albano was say
ing as the two sat together in a little
tent on the lawn, “this cottage, these
gardens, the beautiful country around,
do not seem the same since Marie—since
my daughter left me. They are not the
same, for I am older now. I can not
see with the same eyes, hear with the
same ears; it seems as if the gloom of
the grave were iJready closing around
me.”
“But Marie—your daughter—may re
turn.”
“No, that can not be; the pride that
caused her to go will prevent her return
ing. She will never come back.”
“Wilhelm was silent.
“A few hasty words—and the words
were mine—a few peevish mutterings at
the fate that banished me from my na
tive land, that had tom from my breast
the insignia of title and honor, and com
pelled mo—me, a count, to drag out a
miserable existence in a foreign country,
by aid of my violin. I did not mean to
imply that I begrudged the labor that
kept her as a lady, but I fear I led her
to believe so; and I would have laid
down my life next minute to have been
able to retract, to unsay my cruel words;
out next minute Marie was gone. Gone
—yes, gone with tears on her face and
mayhap a broken heart, though a proud
one. And since then I have sought and
obtained engagements in almost every
capital in Europe. I have been till
now ever on the move, thinking, always
thinking, I would find my Marie; for
one brief note—the only one I received—
told me she was so far independent,
and that on her voice alone she would
now trust for a livlihood. But I am
tired, hopeless, and weary.”
1 *d so indeed he looked.
.tk year passed away. The old man ap
peared no more in any orchestra. Hope
itself had fled from his heart, and lie
mourned for his daughter its for one
dead.
Wilhelm was a frequent* visitor at the
cottage. Aided in his ambition by the
?x-count, and possessed of the will to
work, the determination to triumph, and '
that mental staying power which often
times leads to success without even the
aid of genius, the young man conquered
all difficulties, and was already on the
first steps of the ladder that leads to
fame.
His employment frequently led him to
Italy and to that Rome which of late
pears appears to have taken a new lease
of glorious life.
An event now took place which is com
mon enough in the life of most young
men: Wilhelm fell in love. But I do
not blame him, for all Rome was capti
vated by the sweet voice and modest and
charming manner of a young singer that
had lately been brought out by a great
master.
Night after night, wherever she sang,
Wilhelm was there, listening enthralled.
But lie could obtain no introduction. She
as so near, and yet so far.
Going home late one night from duties
that had occupied him for nearly eight-
and-forty hours, with little time for
sleep, he heard the startling shout of
fire. He followed the mob and the rat
tling ill-contrived engine down a narrow
dark street that, from the showers of
sparks and the smoke and heat, seemed
on fire from end to end.
Wilhelm got close to the burning
building, and helped to work the engine.
But there was other and braver work for
him to tackle. For look! the faces of
young people and children frantic with
fear appear at an upper window. Who
will climb through sparks and smoke up
that rickety ladder? Who will volun
teer to save them ? Wilhelm will! He
springs toward it; up and down, and up
and down, and he has saved three. He
is scorched and burned, but seems to
bear a charmed life. The last he saves,
to his surprise, if not joy, is the young
singer. While she is borne. away in
safety, he faints and falls.
It is two days before he. comes to liis
senses at his hotel. It would be weeks
liefcre he got round. What mattered it:
Siu* came daily to see and inquire after
his welfare.
Ah! it was the old, old story. But he
did not tell it then or there. He told the
young singer a story of a different kind:
of a lovely little cottage among the pine
woods of Surrey, ami of an old man who
was dying of sorrow because his daugli-

fairs, a proper relief forCutting. The
next day Marescol replied that he
had recommended the Governor
ol Chihuahua to see that prompt
and full justice tvas administered.
O.i July 17th, Consul Brigham stat
ed that Cutting was still in prison
and that nothing had been done for
. iis release. The Secretary says
that the imprisonment of this
American citizen having thus con
tinued a full month without expla
nation or release, he (Secretary
Bayard), on July tilth, addressed
a telegram to Minister Jackson in
structing him to demand ot the
Mexican government the instant
release of Cutting. This was follow
ed on July 20, by instructions of the
Secretary to Minister Jackson, stat
ing the legal position assumed by
this Government.
Minister Jackson, on July 22d,
telegraphed the refusal of the Mexi
can government to accede to the
telegraphed demands of Secretary
Bayard, which was followed by an
other telegram, giving a statement
of the Mexican reasons. Minister
Jackson, on July 26th, telegraphed
that he was pushing the case of
Cutting. On July 27th, the Secreta
ry mailed additional instructions to
Mr. Jackson.
The Secretary, in his-letter, refers
to the claim of the Mexican Minis
ter here, based on Mexican laws
whereby jurisdiction assumed by
Mexico over the United States or
any foreign country, and this con
tention that under this law the pub
lication of libel in Texas was made
cognizable in Mexico. This claim
of jurisdiction by Mexico is per
emptorily and positively disputed
by Secretary Bayard, who declared
that the United States would not
assent to or permit the existence
of such extra-territorial force to he
given to the Mexican law.
Mr. Romero, he says, finally as-
ureci him that Cutting would be
released in a short time. Convinc
ed of the friendly and conciliatory
ssirit. influencing the Mexican gov
ernment, the Secretary informed
iheConsul that, in liis opinion, all
questions or conflictng interests be
tween t h e two governments can be
honorably and satisfactorily adjust
'd.
In hi-i report the Secretary says:
<v idling the Mexican iaws cited
iy N.r. Romero, this conflict of Jaws
s more profound than a literal
difference of corresponding stat
utes, for it afl’ecis the underlying
principles of security to personal
liberty and freedom of speech,
which are among the main obiect
■ought to be secured by our frame
work of government.
The people of Georgia have al
most lorgot that two amendments
to the constitution will be submit
ted 10 them for their action at the
next State election. One of the
amendments does away with that
provision of the constitution which
makes it imperitive that all local
and special bills originate in the
House, and the other authorizes
the Legislature to make provision
for maimed ex-Confederate soldiers
both amendments are worthy of
the careful consideration of the
people.
The
of his favorite song, ‘ The Dew is on
the Blossom.” The mellow voice of;
the charging leader was the Col- j
ouel’s last remembrance of the;
onset. A grape shot tearing through j
his right breast hurled him from nis j
saddle and he made one of thous
ands stretched upon that ‘bloody
field.
When next his eyes opened they j
looked upon the surroundings of a
Richmond hospital cot. At the side
of the cot sat Mammy, the negress,
who had nursed him as a baby,
amused him as a child, attended
him as a youth and followed him
to the battls-field. Learning that
the young master and foster child
had fallen, Mammy” had followed
by the dim light of the lantern,
through half the night, the awful
track of that terrible charge. Man-
gl, d limbs, shattered breaste con
torted features and nloodbedabbled
locks paled the lantern’s feeble
gleam at every step and brought to
the cheeks of the negress the pecu
liar ashen hue lent by terror to the
dusky skin of her race.
At last the right heap of tho slain
was reached, and Mammy” drew
from it the bloody form of her
young master. Tenderly she cared
for her foster child, and rested not
until he was beneath the surgeon’s
care. For long months the desper
ately wounded soldier lay in Rich
mond hospital, devotedly nursed by
the old negress. When at last he
left his bed he was in no condition
to r esume liis place in the service
On a furlough he passed a year in
Italy, and with the hue of health
mice more upon his cheek and the
strength of manhood in his arm
hastened back to strike a last blow
for the Confederacy. Participatin
in the closing shocks of the great
conflict, he rode in that last effort
of desperate courage b(r which Gor
don’s cavalry cut their way through
the encompassing Federal ranks,
Here he received the saber cut,
whose grim and lived trace still
marks his features. In the cabin of
a Virginia mountaineer the Colonel
recovered from his second wound
and then made his way out of the
country. Locating in the Brazilian
diamond fields, still attended by
the faithful “mammy,” he was for
tunate from the first. He soon had a
furtune in his possession, and se.ect
ing Southern California as his fu
ture home, he purchased and stock
ed a ranch, and has since led the
free and independent life of the
plains.
“And now,” said the Colonel in
conclusion, “would you not. like to
-re mammy?” “Most assuredly,”
was the reply, and to the Colonel’s
call there came forth an aged and
1) nt negress. You see,” said the
Colonel, “she will not leave me.”
“Not,” said “mammy,” “till the

Apropos of romance marriages,
there is probably no man in Con
gress who can show a better record
than Representative William J.
Stone, of Kentucky, who takes Os
car Turner’s place in the House.
The story ot Stone’s terrible wound
on the battlefield was told not long
go, but the best part of the story
was left out. The battle where he
st his leg was near Cynthiana,
Ky. He was in the Confederate
service, and after the battle was
lying on the field gasping for water
with his leg shot away almost to the
hip. A Federal soldier saw him
and asked him if he was not thirs
ty. He replied that he was, and
the Yankee went off and brought
back a canteen full of water. He
raised the wounded man and gave
him a drink, and then in kindness
left his own canteen by the side of
what he thought to be the dying
rebel. Said he: ‘I will leavet his, as
you may want to drink again after
a while.”- Stone thanked him. As
he turned to go away another Un-
ionsoidier came up and said: “Hello!
my man, is that rebel dead ?” The
first Yankee replied he was not, but
he thought he was going. The new
comer then said: “Stand aside,
and I’ll finish him,” and with that
he raised his musket. The kind-
hearted Yankee stepped in front of
him and told him il he shot the reb
el he would shoot him. This ended
the matter, and the good and the
bad Union soldier went away to
gether. This much has already been
