A soft breeze was blowing, and the afternoon sun thnniinggl lights over the heath, r, w hore : shooting party gathered for lunch on on the hill-si.lo. Slaughtered game lay ii esqidj confusion; dogs r.-ste tally at the keeper’s eel, young laird, Hector rsiiriin the bounteous Incheon . i: his sister Jessie and F, had met them this gl.n-io day. John was lying lazily buck on the suit springy heather, reeling an appreciation of the scene and its Do yo seeony of them taking my -tipind wi’ them?” quietly respond ed the minister. Auni Janet and John Belmont’s mother had been siste-s—brought up in a quiet Scotch manse—and ! iiiet remained tliere long after diiigaret had gone away to her Knglisli home, and then the former became the wife of a widowed laird ^ who died soon after, leaving nis rious | two children to the watchmjeare of their stepmother. Now for the first time John Belmont visited his rel atives in Scotland, and only by slow pietur- degrees were their eyes being open thank-jed tthe fact that everything ni the j Scotch is better than everythin English. One great help to them was, however, that Hector Stirling — the fine, true-h arted iaird, found favor in Flo’s sight; and demure, lair-faced Jessie was making large inroads on John’s peace of mind hut, alas; before John came among shared in which li.-imont ■i AllgUSl surroundings, which he was too la- them, a quiet, well-to-do Glasgow zy to define. Certainly, one of flic charms of that afternoon lay in the fact that Jessie Stirling’s fair young face gentleman residing near had pro posed for her hand, anil her step mother had approved the match. In some way Jessie herself had kept out ofall communication with Mr. Mathieson—telling her step mother she would like to be free a little longer. Was it not hard? The burden of recommending the approved suitor to Jessie’s mercy was thrust upon John! “Just see her, John,” begged Aunt Janet, “and tell her how much bet- terit will he for us all if she will end the poor man’s suspense. It is only time she asks for, and there is no need for delay.” Mr. Mathieson, too, confided in John, and begged him to further his case for him. “Her brothel would be best,” de clared John. “No, no,” saiil Aunt Janet, “she cares much more for what you say. ” In a room where the chill of even ing rendered the glow of fire pleas ant, John found Jessie, standing in melancholy mood before the fender. The blinds were still up, and Mr. Mathieson had walked over to see if his suit prospered. It was most awkward! Before the words were said, Jessie’s tearful eyes har assed John beyond bearing, am. in an evil moment lie ceased his prayers on behalf ot another, and bestowed a kiss on the sweet, sor rowful lips. Now, some little demon of mis- chief must have been standing by just then, and laughing immoder ately at the success ot his favorite element, for just as the e is.s was giv en Mr. Mathieson had paused out side of the windows, and his wrath luhninated with a matured: “Iago!” Shortly after, John sought his aunt and was aghast at the stiff re ception he received from Mn Math ieson, who was with her. His few civil words were interrupted by the outraged suitor. “I saw you kiss her, sir!” John feebly admitted the fact, justifying himself as best he might. “We were almost cousins, you know—and she needed comfort.” “L could have kissed her, sir!” Looking across at the rather un gainly gentleman, John’s anger rose, and he -aid, hotly: “I had the matter forced on me; vhv didn’t you manage it fur your self.* As it is, 1 believe you have reckoned without your host, and h i , Miss Stirling vi 1 be inclined to ! j <bge for herself. 1 consider that his mis-! i ne field is still open, and, Aunt Ja net, perhaps you will allow me to enter the lists myself if Jessie does uot choose to marry Mr. Mathie son ?” “It's too had,”s d 1 Mr Mathieson - , visit g wrath fully, “ after all my ,, tet. mile walk—and the encourage- vbe I ken that as well as me nt—and everything!” where ye’ll gae ii ye. don’t. , q'm very much concerned—in- jlji-i * (deed, I foresaw nothing of the mon,” wrathfullv demanded I kind! cried Aunt Jane, in perplex- uniin, “wad ye class me wb okis that come down wi’ guns and iheir dogs to disturb “Conspirators? I want jou, moth er, when you’ve leisure.” Mrs. Stirling made “leisure" ai once, and departed—Mr. Mathie son walked sullenly out at one of the wind wsand went home, while John uncomfortably stood first on one leg and then on the other. “I’m so happy, Flo,” confided Jes sie that night. “I have no trouble nowj except that Hector will miss me so when I go to England.” “Perhaps not!” whispered Flo, ro- , _ guishly; “because I have promised Ir woman, soliloquized Don- to stay in Scotlaud—at Ieast.after I •Id, *s he turned liis back on his have been home once more.’’ came between him and the distant beauties of the view, so it is to he doubted if Scotland's claims to love liness were being fairly considered, except in the fiesli-and-hlood form. Flo had taken off her lmt, an I, her fresh young cheeks bright with health and enjoyment, proposed to c ount the spoil of the morning's sport, an offer which was not sec onded, for Hector begged instead that she would accompany him round the hill to where a perfect view could be obtained. The uniy idle person was Hie keeper, and having nothing to do on his own ac count, lie silently' contemplated what others we’e doing, aud drew his own conclusions. “There’s nae chance o’ anything but love. They’re ready to fa’ into that. Will they shoot ony mair the day,I’m thinking?” * A lew minutes later the keeper found his services dispensed with, as the gentlemen decided to walk pome with the ladies. “Leddies!” muttered Donald to his dogs. “There’s never a day for sport hut the leddies come ami spoil it!” Sunday - morning. Aunt Janet and her .- - p'daughter, Jessie, are waiting, like decent folk, for lUSIr guests to accompany them to church. Flo obeyed the sn unions with an inward shrinking from the nws ot men, wearing hats, taking spoonfuls of snuff, and > < easionally -pilling it very close to her black silk skirt; but where a sacrifice has to be made to politeness or appear ances, you can always trust a wo man to make it. •‘Where’s John, my dear?” ask. d Aunt Janet, raising her Bible, and preparing to march. | “He weITt to see about his dog a little while ago, aunt,” said Flo, hesitatingly, “he’s not come in.” “We can’t, wait; Jessie, call your brother.” l)emurely Jessie obeyed, and Hector Stirling appeared, ready for hi* fate. . The bells had ceased, and Donald McIntosh, the keeper, was still «txrat his cot tage door. He whistled <>ir the lamed dog that had delayed ohn’s progress. A shrill woman’s | voice'called from an opposite door. “Eh, mon! do ye ken this is the: 8awbath ?” i! aye!” **Deyou ken,” persisted , “do ye ken where ye”U gae |§Lye whistle on the Sawbatli ?" laid paused in his task of ex- ng the dog’s foot, and replied then there was some talk of taking from his care the girl Ritta Boston, whom he had in some manner adopted. This coming to the old man Bishop’s knowledge, he at once determined to keep his child sweet- lenrt, and he even declared that he could leave the country and take Ter along before he would give her ip. Yesterday he came to town, and approaching County Clerk Perkins said he wanted a license to marry - . •Soon after Bishop left town the ,-lerk learned that probably some- ihiug was crooked witli his holiness, the doctor, and h“ immediately dis patched Constable Rayburn to call on him ami bring back the license. When Rayburn got to Bishop's he found that the oi l man and child bad gone to Judd’s just as the cere mony was concluded. The license was returned to the clerk’s office this morning. (JESERALBOuLaSgEK. Europe has suddenly become con- ioscus of a new figure before the French foot-lights. General Bou langer is the name on every French man’s lips. “A Frenchman” draws a flattering portrait o( the new hero of his country in the New York Sun He speaks of Boulanger as a man of destiny, on whom fortune has smil ed at every turn, a sort ot French Cleveland in epaulets. He is the son of an attorney at Rennes, the >ld capita of ancient Brittany. His mother was English. He is a thor. ugh soldier, and his record covers service in Algeria, in the Italian war, in the war with China, and in the great and disastrous war with Germany in 1870. In the Italian war lie peculiarly distinguished himself. In one battle a ball passed right through his body without in juring any vital organ. If the sketch of him by his admirer in The Sun is to be trusted he is a man of boundless ambition aud of iron will. We are told that in all French liter, ature he considers nothing so pro- ound as the remark of La Fon taine: “The logic of the strongest is always the best.” All the beauties of ancient history - disappear for him in the presence of the manifestation f the same principle when Bren- nus, the conqueror of Rome, replied to the complaints of the pa- charged that he actually distributed tricians by throwing his sword into j some copies of ^his papier containing the balance and crying out, voe vie- in deference to the demand of the United States. We cannot accept this suggestion, oecause it looks too much like child’s play, both upon the part of Mexico in granting a pardon and the United States in accepting this pardon under the circumstances as a compliance with its demand. It is more reasonable to suppose that there is some question as to the facts of the case and tnat negotia tions are continued in order to as certain just what is the truth. Mr. Bayard acted upon the assumption that Cutting was held only to an swer for acts done in the United States, and he expressed his opin ions very - strongly against recog nizing any such jurisdiction over American citizens. If Mexico admit ted this to be the cause, then it would follow that either it must surrender such jurisdiction, or the i_.fited States must yield to its claim, or the relations between the two countries would be interrupted. Further developments, however, lead us to believe that our consul did not give a full and complete re port of the facts, and that the Mexi can authorities are insisting upon iheir right to hold Cutting, not be cause of acts done in the United States, but also for his conduct in Mexico. It appears that Cutting was the editor of a paper in El Paso on the Texas side of the river, and one Medina was editor of another paper in Paso Del Norte on the Mexican side. Cutting being a quarrelsome, disagreeable man, very naturally got into a controversy - with Medina, which culminated in a libelous ar ticle in Cutting’s pape® Finding Cutting in Paso Del Norte, Medina commenced legal proceedings against him on account ot this libel, which was settled by the parties and'a decree of the court, upon con dition that Cutting should publish a retraction of the libel in his paper to be both in the English and Span ish language. Cutting went Lome and did pub lish tho retraction in small type and in the English language, but failed to publish it in Spanish. Not only did he thus fail to comply with the decree of the court, but. he publish ed in the same issue ol his paper an. article more libelous than the first. Afterwards he went across *he river into Mexico again, and it is After Long Years. When the Inman line steamer City if Richmond arrived at her dock in Jersey City - recently ■mong the cabin passen ;ers assembled on the deck v s a tall young woman dressed in i T ick .vho gazeil anxiously at the faces ol ill who stood on the pier waiting or the gangplank to be put in posi- cion. As soon as the ship was safely uioored to the dock the young we- nan hurried ashore. Suddenly n look of glad recognition came over he face, and going straight up to a -horl man, with a long reddish ueared and mild, blue eyes, she ouched his arm and said simply: “This is father, in,’t it?” The man turned around and drew • photograph from his pocket. It vas an excellent likeness of the young woman, whom he recognized s his daughter. “It is twenty-four years since we have seen each other,” he said to onlooker, “out she said she would know me from my picture, and so she did. When my wife and I left England for America twenty- four years ago we left her, then a little girl of six, together with a still younger boy, in the care of my wife’s parents. When the boy grew up he took to the sea and has been crow here several times, but we lived In Michigan then an I he couldn’t get to see us. Just lately tho old people have died, and the irl wrote us that she was eoming.

New South Wales possesses in the Va e of Hartley mine a valua ble kerosene deposif. The mine is situated in one of th.- most pictur esque parts of the colony, about eighty-three miles northwest of Sidney, in the Blue mountains, at an altitude of 3,118 teet above the level ot the sea. The railway on the mountains has aided greatly in the establishment of a number of important industries there. The ironworks at Eastbanks are carried on successful'y, and the coal depos its are inexhaustible. The kero sene shale found there is said to he the richest in the world. Conrder- able quantities of it are used in the large cities’of the Colonies for ihe purpose of enriching gas. It is also exp >rted for the same purposes to Holland, Java, and the States on the Pacific slope of the United StaQs. Only the better quality of •mineral is exported, the scraps and inferior portions being retained f >r the extraction of oil. The seams are from one foot to two and a half in thicirness.

Editor Say to him that his manuscript is respectfully declined' t le sect n i lioel a id v si there was ..rresteu and he. i toa. swer the fir: complaint. The court decided that under ttie laws of Mexico the set tlement was void, and Cutting .night only be tried under the first charge, hut was also guilty of a con tempt of the court :n failing to com ply with the decree. He lias been tried and found guilty, and if these are the facts of ihe case we are of Ihe opinion that he is not entitled io the protection of the United states to screen him from the con sequences of his conduct. There can be no doubt but that in ihis whole matter Cutting has acted badly, and that he is utterly unwor thy of the protection winch he claims. War is a very serious thing, and should not be declared without provecation, especially so when the parties in dispute area weakrepnb lie on one sine and a strong one on the other. Surely there is enough wisdom and moderation in tab United States to avoid war with its neighbor. The Augusta Chronicle thus speaks of Mr. Tilden’s last years: It was a marvel that he contrived to exist for so many years after dis ease had smitten him. His recent condition was such however as to give small hope of a much longet continuance of life. He was unable to close his lips and his mouth was constantly open. His right Land from thejsame cause was eutirely useless,trembling all the time. He h id not even power enough to raise it to his mouth. His left was but slightly affected by a stroke of par alysis and he had partial use of it. In eating he used his left hand to holdup hisTower jaw. His faiih- fjl companion, Miss Cinna Gould, who is a sister of Henry Ti den placed to his mouth every particle of food that he ate. She generally put it into his mouth with a spoon and he was enabled to swallow by raising his iow - er jaw with his left hand and putting his head back. Surely it was not desirable for Mr Tilden, thus afflicted, the trav esty of his former self, to linger longer in the world. True his mind was left bright and keen, nut ii was like a beacon fire burning on a rained tower awaiting extinguish ment. My wife was so afraid that it would arrive beforel could get here that she would not let. me stay at home.” To a reporter of the Herald the man said his name was John Hock ing, and that he lived at Mount Vernon. He has a family of chil dren born in this country, and some of them are married and luve chil dren of their own. His eldest daugh ter’s name is Emily Hockiug, and bis sailor son is named William. Mr. Hocking is much disappoin'ed that this son did not accompany his sister, and he wishes him to settle down here with the rest of the family. But his sister does not believe that he will ever consent to leave the sea, although she thinks lie will come to see them in the new home on this side of the ocean. Yesterday afternoon father and daughter left the city for Mount Vernon, where a joyful meeting with her mother awaited the young lady; This is the dude’s own season everything is fresh and green. The Chicago Post Oflice is sudden ly discovered to have been a centre of frauds upon the government ex tending over a long period. Two Republican officials are already under arrest, charged with embez zlement, others are implicated, and it is said that the total amount of their stealings will foot. U p over ■foO.OOO. If these men had been turn ed out promptly when the new administration came in the greater portion of this loss to the govern ment would have been prevented. There is nothing like a change of officials and an audit of the books by a new set of men to discover and put a stop to fraud and corruption. Permanence in office is the natural parent of dishonesty and robbery. The following are the items for Georgia in the river and harbor hill as it went to the President: .Savannah, $150,000; Brunswick,$22,- X); Cumberland sound $111,000. Rivers—Altamaha, $20,000; Chat tahoochee $20,000; Coosa, $45,000; Fiint, $20,000 of which $5,000 is to be expended between Albany and Montezuma and $15,000 below Al bany; Ocmulgee,$6,500; Oconee $9,- 000 ot which $1,500is to be expended between Skull shoals and reilroad bridge, Rom ley marsh, $17,475; Sa vannah river, below Augusta, 15,- 000, making a total of $438,475 for Georgia. Whatever else may he said about the Cleveland administration, jobs and peculations do not thrive under it. Seventy acres of land north of Birmingham, Ala., were yesierfUv s..id at the rate of $400 per acr.-. As the same land was purchasable five years ago at about $50 per acre, an idea of the increase of the value ot property in that rising district can be obtained.—Heir Orleans State.*.

When he was in Albany last he saw Mr. Manning and hadagood talk with him. Mr.Manning said“Take a good look and tell me what you think of me,” Mr. Whitney said: “You look first rate. Your mind is as clear as it ever was. You are almost recov ered physically.” Mr Manning then asked him what he thought about his going back. Mr. Whitney said: “You would be very foolish to go back if in so doing you should en danger your health. If you should go back now you would break down again, but I would go off and not t iirik anything about the mat ter at all. I would dismiss it entire ly from my mind, and then decide in accordance with your feelings, You cannot hope io strengthen the reputation which you have already made at the head of the Treasury. You should hear this in mind when you ta'k about going hack.” Mr.Manning said that he did not intend to give the matter any special consideration at the present time, bnt would takeit up and pass on it next tall. The impression is, however, that he is improving so rapidly that ha will ieel very much like coming back.
