THE TWO FRIENDS.
The Italian Beauty, or “Who
Shall Marry Her?”
A strong bond of friendship bad from
their earliest childhood existed between
Verneuli du Pres and Henry de Snvigny.
At college tho same studies and pursuits
were followed by both. In the same
army they held each the grade of lieuten
ant, and served in the same regiment,
where, by the officers, they were called
Castor and Pollux, Orestes and Pleiades,
Damon nnd Pythias, and other titles as
applicable. Years aud experience ripen
ed and strengthened their affection into
the most scrupulous fidelity. When
about sixteen, the ago when others are
ingeniously exaggerated, du Presand Sa-
vigny one day pledged themselves to each
other as friends which death alone could
part.
“Let us solemnly swear,” said du Pres,
“to shnre alike each other's pleasures,
pains, fortune and misery.”
But suppose the time should come
when each may long for some object that
may not be shared ?”
“Then let it be renounced.”
“No; lot us rather promise to play for
possession.”
“That is a happy thought,” responded
de Savigny.
“ So let it he atranged,” he continued,
“ that a game of chequers or cards shall
decide.”
“ Be it so. Accepted thus, all dis
putes will bo avoided, and our friend
ship remain intact. This plan is well
suggested.”
The two friends, with their company
of huzzars, were garrisoned at baint
Germaine, and the officers had been
feted as so many heroes. The chateau,
terrace and forest rendered Saint Ger
maine a delicious sojourn. Quite near
the barracks, Monsieur Dubois, the
father of theircaptain, resided. With
Dubois the two young men had formed
an agreeable intimacy, and as a natural
result, the house of the father was, at
all times, open to them.
About six months prior to the com
mencement of our story, a young Ital
ian girl had come to St. Germaine and
been introduced by Monsieur Dubois
to society as the daughter of one of the
old correspondents of his house. Her
name was Bianca Marrelli, and her
iirst appearance in the social circles of
Saint Germaine was signalled by the
manifestation of the most pronounced
udmiration on the part of the gentle
men, and by an intense dislike from
the fair sex, the natural result of jeal
ousy. This was, however, strictly dis
guised by Lire protestations of friend
ship.
Many admirers paid court to the
lovely Bianca and not a few asked her
hand in marriage; but offers had met
with positive discouragement, and it
was generally believed that Monsieur
Dubois intended the treasure for his
son.
There is no more inflammable heart
than that of an officer in the huzzars.
Among the most impressionable, and
as well, the most timid, were du Pres
and de Savigny. Bianca was amiable,
but gavo no reason to hope. It may be
that the hour for loving had not dawn
ed, or that, in the depth of her heart,
she treasured some mysterious secret.
Mile. Marrelli not only did not en
courage, but she well knew how to
avert, a declaration on the very lips of
her admirers—a fact which in nowise
diminished her troop of adorers, but
rather heightened the fever of attrac
tion.
One morning Captain Dubois invited
his friends to a ball, an invitation gen
erally accepted.
“That day,” said Dubois, “will be to
me one of happiness, and I trust all will
bo present to learn the reason of my joy
nnd rejoice with me.”
As he spoke a bright color flushed
his cheeks and his eyes sparkled with
pleasure.
The evening arrived. Never had
Bianca looked more ravishingly beauti
ful; her power seemed irresistible, ns
with uncommon grace, she received
each guest, and many in her genial
smile read an encouragement uncon
sciously given.
Du Pres, who had long endeavored
to confess his love, determined to de
clare his sentiments during the cotillion.
Before speaking, he allowed liis eyes to
rest upon her in silent admiration, and
now and then hazarded |a pressure of
the hand, and at length whispered a
desiro to speak to her alone.
“ If you will grant me a few moments
conversation in privete,” said du Pres,
in a low tone. “ I have something
most confidential to say to you.”
“ I also have something confidential
to say to you, and will see you when
the ball is over,” responded Bianca,
sadly. “ Wait until then, I beg of you,
for I trust you will understand me and
bo willing to render me justice.”
“ Justice?” replied du Pres, surprised
by her answer.
“ Yes,” sho resumed; “ but do not
try to comprehend my meaning; you
cannot, until I explam.”
Then recalling, although with scorn
ing effort, her gaiety, she extended her
hand, saying, “Come, it is our time to
dance.”
Du Pres at first knew not what to
think, but absorbed by his own feelings,
on reflection, he concluded that Bian
ca’s reply gave him reason to hope, and
fed by this thought, he gave himself up
, to dreams of future happiness.
The quadrille over, de Savigny ap
proached M’lle Marrelli to recall her
promiso to waltz with him ; and leav
ing her with his friend, Verneuil hasti
ly le('tithe drawing-room and descended
to the garden. But n short time elapsed
when do Savigny joined du Pres. He
also seemed anxious and troubled ; but
absorbed by his own thoughts, his com
panion did not at first observe his man
ner.
“ Verneuil,” exclaimed de Savigny,
“ this evening has fixed my destiny.” •
“ That is just what I was about to
say to you,” replied Du Pres,
“ I am in love!”
“ And I also,” added his listener.
“ The woman I love is beautiful. Fan
cy an angel of loveliness! when I
think of the possibility of failing in
my suit, I feel as if I should go mad.”
“I can sympathize,” responded de
Savigny. “ Never have I dreamed of
so much beauty, combined with such
grace, as I see united in the ono whom'
ray heart and its every inspiration is
given.”
“ Then, you arc, indeed, in love,” said
du Pres.
“ Who would not be with such a wo
man—One whose character is pure and
f ;entlc? I seem now to see her dark
ustrous eyes, her exquisitly moulded
head, Madonna-like in form, and I still
feel tho influence of her seductive and
voluptuous charms and her smile’,;
which touches tho heart and reaches’
the very soul 1”
While de Savigny spoke, du Pres ex
perienced a strange sonse of dread, and
with a sudden impulse, said :
“ Whom do you love?”
“ Who else but Bianca Marrelli, the
beautiful Italian? For her I would
give my very life; without her, exist
ence is valueless.”
“ Bianca?” exclaimed du Pres. “Is
it Bianca you love ?”
“ It is,” responded do Savigny.
For a moment there was silence;
each seemed oppressed by the sense of
impending evil.
“ And you?” at length murmured de
Savigny.
“ 1 also love Bianca Marrelli,” said
du Pres.
“ Our oath ?” responded his listener.
“As in the past, we wilt' be true 1 to
our vows,” continued du Pres. “ Lis
ten, de Savigny, this rivalry must not
weaken our friendship. Bianca alone
shall decide.”
“ So be it,” responded Savigny, “ but
it is just to say that I have already
heard sufficient from Bianca this even
ing to believe in.the certainty of being
loved by her.”
“ On my part, I believe in the cer
tainty of being loved by her.”
“On my part, I believe you to bo
deceived,” said du Pres, “and you
compel mo to acknowledge that I have
faith that I am her choice.”
“ I doubt,” feplied Savigny.
“Listen, then, and I will tell you,
that you may judge for yourself.”
“No*, listen to me, and you will per
ceive that you are in error.”
“Well, we are mutually confident,”
exclaimed du Pros, “but of one thing I
am certain, Bianca intends to announce
to ono of us mtr triumph over the
other.”
“As to me, I am resolved never to re
sign in your favor,” responded de Sav
igny, hotly. “I love Bianca Marrelli,
and sho must be mino.” .
“Never while I live to dispute her
love.”
“Wo will see,” was the firm answer.
“Then, du Pres, we are, I suppose, to
forswoar our long-tried friendship, and
he faithless to our oath ?”
“Do you still desire to respect that
oatli ?” replied, du Pres.
“ Yes I” exclaimed de Savigny, “and
I here demand that our agreement be
carried out.”
“Should the game prove favorable to
me, will you retire without any ill-feel
ing toward me, and make no further
attempt to win Bianca?”
“I will.”
“Then let us go. The game will de
cide. ’
The recall of the oath, which had
with so potent a charm bound them for
so many years, seemed to awaken tho
sentiment which, for the moment, gov
erned by the spell of a more mighty
passion, had seemed to sleep.
At length they found themselves
seated in the card room. Five or six
persons stood near, watching the game,
surprised at the strange, determined
expression on tho face of each, marking
the set resolve, which honor bade them
keep inviolate.
Pale and earnest, du Pres aud do Sa
vigny handled the cards, playirg each
ill turn with deliberation throughout.
Great drops of perspiration stood out
upon their brows.
At length, the last throw was reached.
By some mischance, both threw a ten
of diamonds.
“Neither has gained,” exclaimed one
of the lookers-on. “ Take another pack
and re-commencc.”
“ No,” replied du P.-es. “ Such ten
sion to tho mind could not be e r, dured
twice.” With these words ho rose
brusquely and took his departure, fol
lowed by de Savigny.
“ We must decide,” said the latter, as
they reached the hall.
“ Yes, at once,” responded du Pres.
Even while he spoke he turned toward
tho garden. As they crossed the terrace,
the sound of a hurried footstep attract
ed their attention, and turning, they
saw Dubois, who had witnessed their
game and followed them outj fearing
trouble.
“Moved by some terrible motive,”
exclaimed Dubois, “you propose a
project which I am determined shall
not be accomplished. You cannot re
fuse my prayer,for,in memoryof the old
friendship which has so long united us,
I implore you.”
“This is no idle sacrifice you de
mand,” responded de Savigny.
“May it not be a quarrel, the motive
of which exists alone in your imagina
tion.” „
t“If such be your opiinon you aro in
capable of appreciating ’ a serious pas
sion,” said du Pres.
“It may be so, my friends,” resumed
Dubois, smiling; “but on my honor, I
swear this duel shall not take place now
and . here. To-morrow, aftei calm
thought, if such a plan be still desired
by both, I myself will be your second.
Now, are you satisfied? To-night, as
host, and in'common courtesy to my
hospitality, I claim you both, as, hav
ing accepted my invitation, you belong
to me for the present.” Leading the
way, Dubois, accompained by du Pres
and de Savigny, re-entered the ball
room, to find the apartment deserted,
supper having been served in their ab
sence. Ab they entered the banquet-
room, Monsieur Dubois stood at the
head of the table, beside him Bianca
Marrelli. In an instant Captain Du
bois had joined them, and as he did
so, the young Italian extended her
'hand'.'* »
“Allow me, my friends, to present to
you my daughter,” said Monsieur Du
bois. “In Bianca Marrelli I introduce
to all my son’s wife, a lady whom this
happy fellow married some months
since in Italy. For family-reasons we
have been obliged tb keep’ this mar
riage a secret until to-day, but now re
joice in making it known to all.”
With forced composure the Vivo
friends tendered their congratulations
to‘Captain Dubois and his wife, and
then hurried from the house.
It is needless to say the duel did not
take place, vhe lady having decided
who she would marry prior to their
joint claims for her affection.

Women Communists.
Panama, April 16—Advices from
Bolivia state .that on the 18th of March
last President Frejos left Lapaz for
Oruero, talking with him one l;alf bat
talion No. 1 of the line, the other half
remaining in Viacha. The rebel citi
zens ofLapaz, when they thought the
President far enough away, broke out
in revolution.
The council of Ministers and a smell
force of young men of good families
shqt themselves in t]io. Government
palace, determined to resist any armed
attach of the people. A terrible and
unyielding struggle took place. The
people on their part tried to set fire to
palace. Women, even, took part with
communist-like ferocity, and threw
burning sheets, dipped in kerosene, on
the roofs. A messenger set off or Via-
cilia to informed the commander of
tho half battilion there of what was
taking place in I.apaz. Senor
Juan Granier, the chief in question, at
once put his force in motion and pressed
his men over six leagues in quick march
and arrived at Lapaz just as tho young
men who defended the Government
house were about to surrender. He at
once made a charge against the rebel
crown, and defeated it with the loss of
58 killed and a great number wounded.
The Business of Columbus.—The
Columbus Enquirer, iu regard to the
business of that city, says:
The returns are not in yet, but it
may be assured that the eworn returns
of the business done by the merchants
of our city will exceed those of the
same quarter oi last year. The returns,
you may say, are no criterion. No
one has ever yet put them down heavi
er than they were. The great difficul
ty is to get them anywhere near a true
statement. For the quarter ending
January 1 the same cries of dullness,
no trade and similar platitudes were
uttered instead ofeheerful words. The
returns were consolidated and they
were found many thousand dollars in
excess of those of the same three months
of the previous year. By continually
preaching of dull times you drive away
trade. Sadness and gloom and sighs
will drive custom from any establish-
merit.
Delano will not Step Down and
Out.— Washington April 26.—Secretary
Delano to-day freely says that he be
lieves the recent newspaper charges af
fecting his official conduct are the re-
sultof an atrocious conspiracy to compel
his retirement from the Cabinet. He
is in receipt of numerous letters from
friends in various sections of the coun
try advising him to abandon his pur
pose formed, as he has stated, last fall,
to resign about this time. Secretary
Delano now says that in accordance
with this advice and his own judgment
of his duty to himself and to the Re
publican party, he has postponed his
resignation indefinitely.
A Thrifty Negro.—A genfieman in
forms the Marietta Journal that in the
northern portion of Cobb county there
lives a freedman, who, at the close of
the war, was worth aboyit one hundred
and fifty dollars. His fanply consisted,
at the time, of his wife and five girl
children. Uneducated, he has steadily
cultivated the soil, and to-day he is
worth Tour thousand dollars in land,
stock and money. Industry, economy,
honesty and sobriety are his traits.
