Tho Rightful Heir.
For Bomo week* peat the (mgagamunt
between the Earl of Bennvrny and Minn
Millieent Moylo hud lieen chronicled in
the fashionable intelligence (if newspa
pers, and tho mariiago wan appointed to
take place in July. There worn many
who oouaidered Mina Moyle a lucky girl,
for Lord Beauvry wna not only of anoieut
family, young, immensely wealthy and
well-looking, but he wan popular every
where, owing to hie sunny temper and
uprightness of character. Lord Bean
vrny hod been merry without ticiiig dis
aolntc. Ho was the moet irreproachable
of gontlomen, Just as liis betrothed, Mis*
Moyle, was the fairest (lower among that
tioquet of pretty girls who had been pre
sented at oourt in the same sesson as
herself. Millioent Moyle wna a rich
heiress as well ue a pretty girl; hut this
was at rout all that could bo said of her.
Her father, Josiah Moyle, a lull-dis
counter of Lombard street, was n “new
man" of the city plutocracy. It wna
said that the peer's relativea hod been
mucli soandnlised on bearing of His
liordsliip’B intention to marry tho
daughter of a mau whose antecedents
were jut a little misty.
One sunny afternoon just a fortnight
before tho dato fixed for tlie marriage, a
brougham with a coronet on tho panels
clattered up to Mr. Moyle's business
houso and Lord Beanvray alighted,
ghastly palo. The hall porter was
Btartled by liis appenrunoof not less than
by the broken voice in which ho inquired
if Mr. Moyle had loft Just then Mr.
Moyle himself strutted out, all glorious
with a geranium in hia coat and a white
hat peflehed acock on Ilia pointed gray
head. "Ah, Beaunayl" cried he, with
choorfni welcome, lmt iWTcoiviug the
hx>k on tho peer’s face, he exclaimed:
"Why, what’s the matter? Not ill, I
hope?”
“No, not ill,liulT want to a|x>ak to you
In private,” *#id Beanvray. hoarst-lv.
‘‘Bliall wo go off in tlie phaeton?”
Btaminereil Mr. Moyle, full of unounr
ni-o*.
“ No, into your room; but lot im Ixv
quite alone,” repeated tho Earl, anil lie
kimaelf led the way to the office.
Plumping down into the arm chair ut
tho writing table, Mr. Moylo attired in
bewilderment while tlie peer snt down
opposite and produced a bine envelojx
witli several black avals. Laying thin
on (be table, Beauvray placed his band
on it and looked into tho financier'll
eyes.
“Mr. Moyle t ”said ho, sadly, "I have a
painful communication to make, but I
will not boat about tlie bush. I find
that 1 have no legal right to tho title
which I boar, or to tho fortune which i
am using.”
"Eh! what?” exclaimed Mr. Moyle
with a gasp.
“I made a discovery this morning, iu
rummaging through a box of deoils,”
con turned Lord Beauvray, whoso voice
grow steadier. "You know that I in
herited tho titlo from my uncle. He
won tho eldest of three brothers. My
father, the youngest, died wliilo I was*
boy; my second uncle died n few yearn
later, and we fancied lie had beeu a
bachelor, but it appears that he had
lx-eu clandestinely married, and loft a
mm—a ind whom you know, by the way,
for I have seen him in your house. His
name is Timburel.”
“ Timburol!” echoed Mr. Moyle, with
ft start, ‘ ‘ Young Timburel, who used to
bo clerk in onr firm, and whom I dis
missed for presuming to make love to
our Millie !”
"I won not aware of those particulars,"
paid Lord Beanrrny; “but young Tim
burel is the man; he bears his mother’s
name (she was an actress), and we used
to think he was the natural son of my
second uncle; but his parents were law
fully murried.”
“And do you mean to say that Tim
bnrel- a vulgar, conceited upstart, who
is living on his wits at this moment,
with not a shilling in his poekets, I’ll l>e
bound—do you mean to soy he has be
come Earl of Beauvray ?”
“Not only that, but he becomes alwo
lnte owner of all my estates and prop
erty. My poor father left me a more
pittanee. When I put Timburel in pos
session of his own, I shall have nothing
but my commission in the Guards and
about £3OO a year.”
“Come, come, don’t say such liosh,”
blurted out old Moyle, grasping his nose
again.
It had just occurred to him that Lord
Beauvray was hoaxing.
“He wants to find out whether our
Millie loves himself or his title,” reflect-
ed the moneyed man. Butin a moment
this idea wna dispelled by Lord Beau
vray displaying tho contents of his envel
ope—a marriage certificate and a num
l>er of letters which substantiated tho
story. Then lie entered into explana
tion*. It seems that liis uncle, the Hon.
Col. do Vray, being in garrison at Malta,
had privately married an Italian actress
named TimhurellL After a year’s union
tlris fickle person deserted him, leaving
her child to his care, and soon afterward
she died. Under Uio circumstances tho
Colonel, though ho provided for tho
iKiy's’niaintenance, doomed it convenient
to conceal liis marriage, and eventually
lie died suddenly, without having ac
knowledged it. Apparently, however,
liis conscience had tormented him, so
that while lacking the moral courage to
sjM'ak tho truth during liis lifetime lie
had left evidence liy which it might 1m
known after his death. Unfortunately
tiro envelope ooutaining his marriage cer
tificate had lain mixed up with some
other documents in a box which Lord
Beanvray (who Inherited the deceased's
papers; had never thought of examining
till that morning, when he had begun to
tort hi* family papers in view of his mur
risge.
The shifty glance of tho money man
quailed in tho light of unquenchable
honesty in that of one who happened to
Ist a nobleman in something more than
tbe name.
• * * •
There was a pretty hubbub in society
when it became known that tbe Earl of
Beanvray—or Georgo do Vruy, ns he now
simply called him' -If—was going to
abandon Ids title and estates to a man
who ha<l boon a city clerk.
Of course Oeorgo do Vray's marriage
was postponed. Tho turn in liis fortunes
had thrown so mncli business on his
hands that it was impossible ho could de
vote a month to honeymooning until it
was all disposed of; besides which, lie
felt 1 round to make Mr. Moyle tho offer
of releasing his daughter from her en
gagement. At first this proposal won
pooh-poohed equally by tho bill-dis
counter and Miss Moylohetself. Millie,
who was not quite so sensible as she was
pretty, wept a good deal at not becom
ing a Oountoss; then she wept at tlie no
bility of George’s action, which every
body was praising.
(■Suddenly tho bill-discounter crumpled
all the papers in his hand with n fever
ish grasp, Olid looked at Irord Beanvray.
There was an expression in his dull eyes
as of a light behind an unclcnned pane
of gloss. "I say,” lie whispered, ‘‘liuvo
you told anyirody licsides mo of this se
cret V"
"No; I eamo to you first, as in duty
hound.”
"Then what prevents us from destroy
ing the impel* ? I shan't sny anything
about i). That young Timimrel is a
skunk mid a snob; it will ho ridioulous
to see him a lord, and he’ll ruin himself
or liecome mad with conceit—so foolish
is lie. Isay, Beanvray, if I throw this
envelop* into the tiro who will know
anything about it?”
"I shall,” auHwrrcd Lord Beanvray
and ho held out his hand for tlie papers.
Now, there was staying in die houso
of the Moyles a poor little cousin of Mil
lie's, named Gertrude Brown, f-Uio was
a soft-fyed brunette of eighteen, very
quiet and lovable, who acted as compan
ion to Millie and had to bear much from
the whimsical humors of this S|ioiled
child. Gertie had always received marked
kindness from Lord Beauvray, who
treated her as If she had boon liis sister,
and she lyokecl upon him with udwmitiou
as tho most noble Wing sho had ever
soon. His renunciation of rank and
wealth tiad struck her as on act of sur
prising heroism, and Hhe oould not as
much as allude to it without the tears
gushing from her eyes. A shrewd, merry
little thing too, in her way, sho was
capable of discerning the difference that
existed between a genuine man of honor
like Lord Beanvray and a mere man of
money like her Uncle Moyle.
It was this enthusiasm of poor Gertie
Brown’ft on poor George do Vrnys’s be
half that began to make tho clip of Mr.
Moyle's bit tornees overflow. That worthy
gentionmu hud token to musing tluit
there was an eml now to liis chances of
sitting in Parliament, getting* baronetoy
and all that.
Poor Gertie hold her tongue, although
her heart throbbed wilfully. Sho lind
heard that the new Lord Beauvray, the
ex-Mr. Timburel, lind boon invited to
diuner on a certain evening, mid sho be
gan to suspect that her precious uncle
was funning a plan for making of this
former clerk of his a suitor for Millie’s
hand.
Her intuition was not at fault. Old
Moyle hastened to make peace with hie
discharged clerk, whose vanity was
easily tiekled. Ho became a regulai
visitor hi the bill-discounter’s, taking
care never to oome at times when he
was likely to meet George. His visits
displeased Gertie Drown, but he easily
succeeded in winning the favor of the
discounter's daughter who correspond
ingly lessened her liking for George, and
one day when she cast an asjvrsion npon
him which Gertie could uot help resent
ing, she screams!, "If you aro so fond
of Mr. do Vray. why don’t you get him
to marry you? That would l<e two
beggars together.”
Naturally, Gertie went to her room to
have a good cry, but from that day she
ceased speaking at suit George and be
came very circumspect in her demeanor
toward him. When he called to see
Millie she left the room. George soou
noticed these tactics, for his interviews
with Mr. Moyle’s daughter were growing
more and more irksome by reason ol
Millie’s coldness and irritability. At the
least thing she would snap and sulk, and
one afternoon when George innocently
made some inquiry about Mias Brown
she fired up in a jealous pet- “You seem
very anxious about Miss Brown. I am
not obliged to sliow her off in the draw
ing-room whenever visitors oome. She
is only a pauper cousin whom we have
taken in for charity.” .
“It’s queer charity, dear, if you talk
of it in that way,” laughed George. “1
don’t consider poverty a disgrace, either.”
"No, hut it’s very inconvenient,” said
Millie, still querulously, “and that re
minds me, if we marry I suppose you
don’t mean to live on my money. Par a
says liis banks might break and all sorb
of things. Bo I snpposo yon will do
something to get an independent in
come."
"Yes,” answered George, coloring
deeply, “I have applied for an exchange
into the line, and think of going out to
tho war on tho Indian frontier, I shall
liuvo a Lieutenant-Colonel's rank—so if
you wait for mo two years, Millie, I wiil
return with a now career and |x:rhai)s an
income before me.”
"Oh, wait two years to liecome a sol
dier's wife and go out to live in baking
Indian heat 1" exclaimed Millie, pout
ing, "I never bargained for that.”
Just at that moment Garin Brown
came in. Hhe had a rnessago to deliver
to Mollie from Mr. Moyle and blushed
as she crossed the room where the pair
of quarreling lovers sat.
“Miss Brown,” said George, rising to
shake hands with her, "I wish you good
by, for 1 have just lx-on telling Miss
Moyle that I am going to tbe war in
India”——
" You arc going to tho wnr 1 Oh, Mr.
de Vray—if anything should happen to
you I” exclaimed Gertie, and the tear*
started to her eyes,
" Tlmnk you for thoso tears,” said
George, gratefully. “ I shall know that
ono person here, at least, will feel
interest. Now givo me as a kocpHakr
that red book-marker you are holding ii
your hand. I will bring back the ribbol
with something hanging to it.”
"The Vietoriu Cross, perhaps,” tit
terod Millie, rather uncomfortably. "I
declare that's quite poetical. Well, good
by, Mr. do Vray; we part as friends,
don’t wo ?”
"Excellent friends,” answered George,
as he lifted lxdh her hand* to his lipt
and kissed them playfully.

One year passed. There hod boon ii
triumph of the British arms in India,
and Ihe name of Colonel do Vray was as
Socioted with it. His name was in every
body's mouth. JIo hod received promo
tion and other honors, mid was returning
to England after tho termination of tin
campaign as Major-General Bir Goorgi
do Vray.
As for Millie Moyle, sho was betrothed
to the Earl of Bennvrny, and wln-n Bir
George arrived in London one of thetirst
things he read in the paper was that tin
marriage between this young lady and
his cousin was to take place in a week.
Ho no longer cared now. lie went to
Mr. Moyle’s house on tlx very day ol
liis return in tho afternoon aiul was
ushered into the dining-room, where
luncheon was taking place. He was re
corral like a hero, for Mr. Moylo liked
to be on good terms with successful men,
and Millio was anxious to obtain some
tiling like forgivom ss for her jilting. Bho
received it fully and freely, so far as
could ho judged from tho young Gen
erals manner, for ho was frank ami
pleasant, but after the first greetings
wore over, ho addressed himself princi
pally to poor little Gertie Brown, who
sat radiant and trembling.
At last, when a toast had been drunk
to George’s honor and Millie’s happiness
—holiest Mr. Moyle acting ns toastmas
ter the General drew a parcel from his
pocket and extracted from it Gertie's
luxik marker. There were hanging from
'it the cross of the Bath, a Victoria Cross
and something else—a wedding ring.
"Will you take all three, Gertie ?” said
George, approaching Millie’s little cousin.
"Bravo, Sir Georgo !” exclaimed Mil
lie, clapping her bands, though sh
turned a little pale, "I always said that
Gertie and you were intended for each
other.”
"Bo did TANARUS,” said worthy Mr. Moyle,
"but I Bay, hullo, what’s that ?”
There hail been a loud knock at the door
and a footman entered with a telegram
oil a tray. Mr. Moyle o|iened the mis
Skive and uttered an exchumition of horror
mid dismay. "Great heavens, My Lord,
read this!” he faltered.
The telegram announced tluit the new
Lord Beauvray bad been killed in a rail
way accident. Bo the Indian hero got
his titles anil estates again.
Old Moylo had sunk in a chair helpless.
His face was a thing to see.
A Nebraska Blizzard.
Tho road \yis a mere track across the
wild prairie, crossing draws and winding
around the elevated portions. At long
intervals, tho dug-out or sod-house, if
not abandoned, gave evidence of habita
tion. The wind, that before blew with
cutting effect, had now- increased into a
fearful gale, and was laden with pellets
of ice and snow that, striking tho face,
oould senroolv bo endured. “Wlmt do
you think of the storm, driver ?" I asked.
"I have seen them before, and as long as
I know where we are, I am not afraid,”
he replied. The fury of the storm in
creased, and' the horses that struggled
bravely forward now stopped and turned
•round. "I don’t know where I am,”
shouted the driver. Wlint! Grout
heavens! Are we lost in this storm?
My breath grew short and my heart boat
lend. Written in ink. in a memoranda
book, in my pocket, was my name and
address, Seine one would likely find it,
and tha elne to fate and identity wonIJ
he established. There comes tho snow
cloud swift as a shadow. The wagon
top that we ltold by unr toil strength for
protection was wrenched from onr hold
•ml carried away as a plaything. A rick
of prairie hay standing leeward was blown
on us aud over us, anil away with the
storm. "Whip the horses for life,
driver!" we shouted, and wo turned to
go with the storm. In less distance
than a mile we reached a dug-out. Thank
heaven ! It is a refuge, nnd, more dead
than alive, we staggered in at the door.
Fortunately it was inhabited, and tlie
hospitable inmates did everything in their
power for onr ivl iof. The driver’s face
and my own were badly frosted, and the
ears of my companion, frozen hard.—

A Celebrated Case.
Tiro Ducliosso de Clranbics, who has
lately died in Paris, was tho wife} of tha
late l)uko de Chaulnes. Bho was of ii
noblo race, but born to poverty, because
her branch of the Gnlitziu family were
convert* from tho Bussian to the Homan
frith.
The Duke mot her aud married her,
though his mother, tho Duelnsse do
Chevreuse, opposod the nuptials and
looked down upon her future daughter
in-law as a low-born person, not fit to bo
associated with. The Duke and Duchess
went to Italy, where they disagreed.
The Duke came homo with his children
and iH'gnn a suit to retain possession oi
them. He obtained a favorable decision.
On liis death in tiro Chateau de Subic,
on the river Burtlio, in the Province oi
Maine, the charge of the children was,
by a legal decision, provisionally in
trusted to tho Duchesne do Chevreuse,
liis mother.
On the 22d of .March lost a desperate
aud unsnoccHsfnl attempt was made to
carry off the children from the chateau
from Mme. do Chevreuse, aud it was al
leged that ono of the Duchessa do
Clraulnos’s most ardent admirers was tho
would-be abductor. The Ducliesso de
Chaulnes then instituted a suit, before
the Tribunal of the Heine against her
mother-in-law for the reversal of the
judicial decision which deprived her of
her children. This suit excited great in
terest. in Paris.
The Tribunal confirmed the decision
of tho family council depriving the I)ni-li
esse de Chaulnes of the guardianship of
her children und condemned her to pay
tho costs of the trial. Tho judgment
also afllrmed all the complaints brought
by tiro family council against her.
Alexis Bouvier wrote anew story found
ed on tho ease, entitled "Los D' ux
Ducliesso.”
Tho decision of the Court was given
on the 6th of Juno last. Mme. de
Chevreuse, the mother-in-law, is fifty
eight years of age.
The New Boy,
He was n bran-new office boy, young,
pretty-faced, with golden ringlets and
blue eyes, Just such a boy ns one
would imagine would lx: taken out of his
little trundle-bed in the middle of the
night and transported beyond the Main.
Tho first day he glanced over the li
brary in the editorial room, become ac
quainted with everybody, knew all the
printers, aud went home iu the evening
ns happy and cheery as a sunbeam. Tho
next day he appeared, leaned out of the
buck window, expectorated on a bald
beaded printer's pate, tied the cat up by
the tail in the hallway, had four fights
with another troy, borrowed S- from an
occupant of the building, saying hi*
mother was dead, collected his two day's
pay from the cashier, hit the janitor with
a broomstick, pawned a coat belonging
to a member of tiro editorial stall,
wrenched the knot)# off the doors, upset
the ice-cooler, pkxUhrecgalleys of type
and mushed his fingiir in the small press
On the third day a note was received
saying: "Mi Mother do not want I to
work ill sui'li a dull place. She says I
Would malic a Good preacher, so Do 1
mi finger is Better; gone fishia*. Youn
Till Death do Yank us.”
A Curious but Pleasing (iistom.
There is a custom prevailing among
the inhabitants of tho Sandemnn Islands,
which may throw 11 light upon tlie eoij
izoil use of wedding cake. When n na
tive gill whose exceptional beauty has
brought her many suitors is knocked
down and carried off by her accepted
suitor, tho wedding pair, within forty
eight hours of tho wedding, send a cup
of jxiisou distilled from the huliihula
tree to each one of the bride's former ad
mirers. If any recipient feels that lie
cannot liecome reconciled to the mar
riage, he drinks the jioisen and dies; but
if he declares that he will survive the loss
of liis intended wife, lie throws away the
liaison and feels bound in honor never to
show the slightest sign of disappoint
ment. By this admirable system the
husband is spared the pangs of jealousy,
and is able to live on friendly terms with
the surviving admirers of liis wife.
A Plot Frustrated.
The investigation of the robbery of
$50,000 in gold belonging to the United
States, from the vaults of the lhummu
Kailroad Company, is developing some
curious evidence, which would probably
be very interesting reading to Capt. Kidd.
It appeal's that a plot was formed last
year, in w hich persousin New York were
concerned, to purchase a small steamer,
run her up to the Magdalena River, and
capture the first large remittance of bul
lion and valuables found on its way from
the interior to the coast. This piratical
scheme in some way got to the ears of
the United States Consul, at Barran
quilla, and so was abandoned, though
the plotters here could not be caught.
So it appears that the thieves of New
York engage in foreign enterprises as
well as honest men.
Lumber from Straw.—Lumber is
now being manufactured from straw, the
standard size being thirty-two inches in
width, twelve feet in length, and the
thickness the same as the average of
surfaced boards. One ton of any kind
of straw will yield 1,000 feet of boards
that may be handled as ordinary ones.
This lumber can be produced and sold in
competition with wide walnut at about
one-half the price of the latter.
A ciytman, recently appointed a pay
master in tlie army, was out calling last
New Year’s Day, wearing n uniform for
the first time. Ho said he felt ns
awkward as the man who went to heaven,
who caught cold sitting on a damp cloud
and whose lialo did not fit.
It’s rather embarrassing for a shop
keeper to be obliged to bluff a tax asst s
sov on the valuation of his stock, and on
lining burned out that night have to face
this same man as chairman of an under
writers’ committee on valuation.
A Newsdealer’s Device,
For some time past a prominent news
dealer not many rods from tho old
Albany depot, in Boston, ha* had con
siderable trouble with a crowd of young
follow* who make their loafing place on
a corner near his paper stand. He has
tried In vain many different ways to
drive them from that place. Hebecamo
so enraged at them a few days ago, after
exhausting Iris efforts in trying to clear
them away, he started in march of ono
of the blue-coated guardians. After
walking up and down many of the
streets in tin- vicinity and nut finding
the object of hi* search, ho returned to
his stand fully resolved to invent some
means by which he would lx: successful
in the work he set out to do. After
some days of careful studying, he
thought of an invention that he believed
would accomplish his design, and set
about putting it irr operation. At noon
time the other day, when the large mul
titude of people who daily pass by on
their way from work to their dinners, ho
displayed over his stand a sign which
measured about three feet square, on
which was written in blue ink the follow
ing notice, which showed that the writer
was careful about his punctuation
murks :
WANTED.
A Policeman who knows all the side
doors of the liquor stores and who can
stand tip to the bar and drink his whisky
and still attend to his duty. He must
also Ixt in with a gang of thieves which
infest the neighborhood. Also wanted
twenty-five loaifi rs to stand on ttie corner
and spit tobacco over the sidewalk.
As may Ire imagined, hardly a passer
by but stopped and read with amuse
ment the odd sign. The teamsters, too,
stopped their teams anil read it, and in a
abort time n large crowd had collected
about liis stand. The officer on the
route, seeing the large crowd gathered
about the stand, hurried to the spot,
thinking a lively row was going on and
his valuable assistance was needed.
Great was his surprise when lie rushed
into the crowd ami saw everything was
all right. Casting liis eye in the direc
tion in which the crowd was looking lie
saw the sign. After carefully reading it,
lie several times requested tho newsman
to take it down, but his request was re
fused. How successful this enterprising
newspaper dealer will Ire with his new
invention remains to bo seen. —Ronton

A Snow-Bound Party.
A Vermont letter says: Something
like tho good, old fashioned experience
of being snow-bound recently happened
to a party of friends who had assembh and
to celebrate the tenth anniversary oi
marriage of a Cambridge couple. The
company was a largo one, composed of
old and young, several coining in sleighs
from the adjoining towns. During the
afternoon the snow began to fall thickly,
driven by a fierce wind. By nightfall
the roads were deeply drifted, and the
wind blew a perfect gale.
What was to lx- done? Several of the
guests started out with their sleighs, lint
most of them returned, saying that the
roads were impassable and the storm so
blinding that the horses could not keep
the trail.
The result was that thirty-four guests
stayed in the little house all the night,
some sleeping on the beds and lounges,
aud some camping out without ceremony
on the floor. Next morning the world
was buried deep in snow, but, after
breakfast, us everything hail Ix-en eaten
up by the small army of guests, it was
found necessary to do something, so the
nu n and boys laid hands on all the shov
els and brooms aud pieces of lx or 1 they
could find, aud proceeded to make a tun
nel out to the road. Then the teams
were all hitched up, and presently a
long, slow-moving but merry line of
road breakers went winding across tin
wide desolation of snow. It must have
Ix-t-n a pretty expensive and uncomforta
ble anniversary for the ten-years’couple
but then it, wasn't their fault, at least,
and tlu-y had the satisfaction of knowing
that all these good people were rejoicing
in the thought that they had made them
happy. Ido not doubt though that they
and all otln-r married couples, liable to
tlie same experience, will thank me for
the suggestion to each and every anni
vi rsnry guest, that they bring a codfish
apiece and put n pound of butter into
the sleigh.
An oid lady at Rome, N. Y. . received
anew bonnet on Saturday. Soon after
she w as missed, and her absence become
so protracted that tho family became
anxious and instituted a search. Finally
she was discovered in her chamber,
sitting quietly with the new bonnet on.
Her daughter exclaimed, “ Why, mother,
what are you doing lure?” "Go along
down.” the old lady replied; “I’m get
ting used to this tiling, so that I shall
not be thinking about it all the time in
church to-morrow.”
Prof. Bi n. says that celery if packed
in moss aud placed in a eool spot in the
collar, will retain its flavor and fresh

The fact Is well understood
that the MEXICAN MUS
TANG LINIMENT Is by far
the best external known fbr
man or beast. The reasori
why becomes an “open
secret ” when we explain that
“Mustang” penetrates skin,

ment does this, hence none
other is so largely used Ol
does such worlds of good.
