THE SUNNY SOUTH
A SACRIFICE.
Bjr Faule May Witt.
A late November evening, gray and chill
with a frosty wind coming over the hill as
the wintry twilight set in, wrapping a pall
about the still, ugly little village of Adobe;
and a slim, erect figure, Honor White’s, just
turning into the country road, homeward,
wearily and longingly.
It had been rather a hard week, that past
one, in the poor half-warmed village school-
house; there had been crosses and trials
enough as every one knows who is acquainted
with village schools; and there had been a
visible falling off in attendance which
dwindled the teacher’s meagre income to
almost nothing, and yet her board must be
paid, let come what would.
Though late, she was in no hurry to reach
her room, a mile out from the village; she
did not care much it there was no end to her
walk; she was alone in the stillness wiib her
own thoughts and the ghastly-armed trees
that caught at her as she passed, and the
shrill November wind from over the bill.
“It is such a hard, hard road,” she was say
ing to herself with a dry sob, though she was
the last one to complain, ever; * ‘such a hard
barren life out here, and so far from the
bright, beautiful East that Lshall never get
back. But there is less back there for me
than out here in this strange new country
they call West.
“My uncle was not kind to me, be begrudged
me a home with him, but I might have lived
on, but for that blow which stripped my life,
leaving it bare and bleak as that gray-armed
tree off there.
“I would not believe them when they said
my Will had gone away for good to seek his
fortune with the others in a fur-off country;
that he cared less for me than this flickering
flume of gold thirst that had seized him; 1
cried out madly in my pension that it was
false; I could not live, I said then, and know
that never again in all time to come would
we walk together from the little chapel, or
out in the sweet, glad sunshine over the hill.”
Asa chil i repeating a lesson it had conued
again and again the sweet, broken voice
went on; she had told it all to her heart over
and over again so many times that she was
hardly conscious of giving it voice.
“Aud then, I too, came away, out into the
world to make my own bread; but 1 did not
mean to come so far,” with a homesick wail,
“that I could see the dear, bright East never
again 1 If I died here to-night, it would only
be as if a sparrow dropped dead from a
broken nest, killed by the fierce wind.”
She had gone little more than half the dis
tance, aud the dusk had indeed set in so she
could scarcely see the road ahead of her, but
for the darker border of the woods, when she
saw a light coming toward her. It wavered,
and nodded and dipped in a peculiar way,
drawing always nearer, until when within a
few paces, she saw it was the small lamp in
the hut of a miner just getting in from the
mines a mile away.
The figure was a tall one. tail and straight,
and walked with a swinging step and grace
that made Honor pause in spite of herself by
the roadside as it passed her, stand and watch
with wide hungry eyes. The light above
left his face in the shadow, she could not
see it.
Ju-.t then by same strange impulse the
miner paused and looked around at the figure
that had stood in the shadow as he passed.
The light from his lamp fell directly on her
white, white face, a little wan and worn,
but the same brave face with the gray eyes
and light brown hair he had known so many
years before—Honor White’s 1
Like one dazed, Will Adams stood there in
three feet of a woman he had loved always,
a woman whom he believed as careless and
heartless as Clio Summers, now his wife,
here in G id-forsaken Adobe, had pictured
her to him that summer night before he left
L esburg and who came to him afterward
willing to share all hardships for his sake—
looked at her as if she were a ghost risen to
torment him.
Then lifting his hat he passed his hand a
time or two through his hair in an absent
fashion that Honor remembered so well,
thereby revealing the face to her of a love of
years ago, a clean cut, handsome face, full
of power, and a great wonder now.
“Why. are you here?” he asked at length
coming a little nearer and looking down still
incredulously into the face that had suddenly
undergone a change—a face young and fresh
as that of five yeai s ago with the great light
shining out of the gray eyes, and a red in the
white cheeks.
“I came to hunt my fortune, too,” smiling
a little sadly and with the old girlish shyness,
“I never dreamed of finding you here.”
“No,” still like one in a dream; but he
made no motion as if glad to see her, except
that first lightening of his face.
Honor’s hand so shyly and gladly extended
dropped to her side and there came a helpless
wistfulness into the gray eyes that went
straight to Will Adam's heart.
“It is too late for you to be out alone.
Where are you going?”
“Home from my school, it is only a half
mile farther on. I am not afraid.” with the
old weariness creeping back to face and
voice.
He turned and strode on by her side in the
late, chill dusk, not offering his arm, nor
speaking.
“Shall you ever go back home ?” Honor
asked after a bit, while a sob stuck in her
throat at the memory.
“No; it can never be ‘home’ again to me.
I buried that name with my lost faith and
happiness five years ago, last M >y, when I
gave'Clio Summers my name.”
Honor stumbled in the dark and would
have fallen, but he held out his hand and
caught the small, icy one in a clasp close as
death itself, never letting it go again all the
rest of the way.
“You are married, then?”
“You think 1 got over your heartlessness
quickly enough ?' with a harsh, bitter laugh.
“She < p?ned my eyes to it and—and—I mar
ried her out of gratitude,” a little wildly
“My heartl-ssness, Will ?’’ with a hurt won-
per in the sweet voice.
“Oa, she told me all about it; how you was
only playing with me all the time, and that
S ou meant to marry Dr. St. John. You are
irs. St. John now, I guess ?”
Bending down he looked bitterly and long
Into the worn, white face, but she put up her
hands a little wildly to her heal.
“I am Honor White yet and will be al
ways, and may God forgive Cleo Summers!”
That was all she said and he understood.
Perhaps he reeled a little against the gate
as he paused to bid her good night; she could
not see his face, but she heard his words as
he turned away, muttered to himself:
“May God forgive her ?”
v * * * * * *
That was a tragic day at Adobe when at
dawn, just as the miners were ready to fol
low their leader, Wiil Adams, already down
at his post of duty, there was a great noise
and crashing within, and the mine had
caved 1
When they set about the rescue, two
women, with dead white faces, among the
rough men were offering their help, but being
firmly repulsed. Wnat coul l a woman with
her feeble strength do in such a work aud at
such a time ?
When they were ready to lower the first
volunteer down into the dangerous, poison
ous depths, the men only looked from the
black gulf yawning at their feet into each
other’s faces with shuddering eyes. They
were brave men and daring, but what would
their wives and children do out there in that
God-forsaken country without some one to
work for and defend them ? Wnile they
s'ood irresolute, Ciio Adams went up to the
girl with the horror-struck f ace near by and
laid her hand on her arm, looking at her with
hopeless remorse in her beautiful eyes.
“I never did a good deed or a kind act in
all my life, Honor Wnite, while yours is full
of them, but I am going to do one now. 1
took him from vou five years ago to-day, I
will bring him back to you dead or alive.
Wha r does it matter if I lose my soul so he is
saved V
Then with the wildness still on her face she
turned away.
Nobody ever knew just how it was brought
about that the rope was tied about a woman's
waist and she let down while brave and
strong men stood about powerless to prevent,
yet shrinking still from the sure death await
ing them below in the still occasional cav
ing of the earth.
it seemed an eternity to those waiting with
ashy faces under the bronze of Western suns,
—waited for a tug of the rope that came not
as the minutes passed, and the poisonous
gases below were doing their deadly work.
But at last there came a very faint move
ment of the rope, and slowly, carefully, they
brought to light a man’s lifeless form.
They laid him on the grass, and while
Honor knelt beside him aud the physician
set to work to restore him, one of the deeper
ate, daring miners was let djwn for the wo
man-hero. They drew him up again all too
soon.
"She is quite dead,” he said; “crushed un
der a boulder just fallen. We will wait un
til some of the gas escapes, then we will get
her out. It is no need for hurry—she is past
human help.”
They carried the wounded man into the
poor farm-house near, where Honor White
made her home, with a broken leg and
bruised body, but alive. Yet how feeble the
spark of life!
The hard gray winter passed by—the May
time, and again the woods were carpeted in
fairy gold, when Will Adams was able to
get about, very weak and pale, a little halt
iu his gait, but better than he had ever ex
pected to be.
It was like the old dead summers when
they two, he and Honor Wnite, went hand in
band over the hill toward a rude grave at
his old home, where the miners there about
bad put up a slab and scrawled on it: “A
brave Woman, Clio Adams.”
Tnere was a great sadness in Will Adams’
eye8,but no remorse as he looked down on the
rough mound that held all earthly of a wo
man whom he hod never loved, and who had
wrecked his life so long ago.
“1 forgive her,” he said after a bit, “as I
hope to be forgiven; perhaps she did wrong,
but it was the sin ol a woman who loved too
well—they are common enough, surely. ”
Tiny t en valued back, lingeringly
tbrougu the October evening.
“laonor,” ne said, turning suddenly, with
the sunset light irradiating his face and lend
ing a glad, Dew glory to his eyes, “would you
like to go back—home?"
H mor understood, and the flash that came
into the weary, homesick eyes almost daz
z ed him.
“Boor, brave little hands,” he said, taking
them up in a warm, hungry hold, “and did
you think to carve out a place in a hard
world like this with such frail little tools?
“Back there in the East, away from all this
hard, bare life, uufl; for man even, we will
forget this dead-white blank of empty years,
and begin our lives over; treading always
the same path that diverged once so sharply
and widely, but which after all, God shaped
and brought together again. We lost our
ways, but He picked us two out of the
great many, for His own particular purpose
—gave you back to my arms to hold and keep,
mine throughout the Ages.” „

The Parallel Between the
Would-Be Slayer ol George
111 and Guitean.
Chicago News.
In a recent interview Judge McAllister re
ferred to the trial of an Englishman named
Hadfiild for the attempted assassination of
George III. The defence of Hadfield, so far
as the alleged insanity is concerned, was al
most precisely what is declared will be the
defence of Guiteau. There exists between
the character of the two men, between the
actions of the two prior to the shootings, and
especially between the conduct of the two
prisoners after their crimes a remarkable
similarity. Hadfield, the would-be assassin,
of 1800, bad served abroad as a soldier, and
had been subject to fits of insanity, and yet
on most subj sets was sane enough to ward
off suspicion. He took up the idea that his
own immediate death by violence would
bring about some unspeakable good. C >nse-
quently he determined to fire upon this king,
so that he himself might be arrested and exe
cuted for treason. Jus:, as is claimed for
Guiteau, so this crazy Englishman was plain
ly enough conscious that he had done
wrong, and plainly enough knew it at the
time of the crime. While he claimed to be
loyally attached to the crown and the royal
family, he determined to fire from the pit of
a theatre so that, as he himself pat it, “1
might be executed for high treason.”
Upon the trial of the prisoner, the Duke of
York gave the following testimony for the
prosecution: “I had a long conversation with
him, during which he seemed perfectly to
understand the subjects upon which we con
versed. He said once or twice that he knew
perfectly well his life was forfeited. He said
life and he regretted nothing but the fate of
a woman who was his wife. There was no
irregularity in his conversation from which
1 could detect any existing derangement of
his understanding. Oa the contrary he ap
peared to speak as connectedly as possibly
could be.” ,,
Yet the man was acquitted on the ground
that he was insane.
The Wild, Weird Thing; Which
a Fall River Sailor Found in
China.
Mr. William Kennedy, a native of Fall
River and a seaman on the United States
ship Richmond, has returned home from a
voyage to China, and brings with him a very
strange fish which he says he caught in the
Yang-tse kiaug river, China, in May, 1879.
This strange specimen is the nearest approach
to the mermaid, or merman, of fiction that
we have ever seen, in fact it answers exactly
—save only in size—the description given by
old sailors of the creatures said to be seen in
the waters about Ceylon and other eastern
countries. The fish was caught by Mr. Ken
nedy in a minnow net, and died three hours
after it was taken. It was preserved in
alcohol and brought home for exhibition.
The creature is fourteen inches long, and its
head, arms and trunk are strikingly like
those of a human being, the lower half of the
body being like an ordinary fish with silvery
scales. Tne head, neck, elbows and palms
are covered with a flue hair, the ears stand
cut distinctly, and the breasts are as plainly
defined as in a woman. Each hand has five
long fi igers and the arms are divided by
joints exactly corresponding to those in a
Human being. The face, which resembles
that of a monkey about the lower part, is
much shrunken and reminds one forcibly of
a human being’s physiognomy. The teeth
are set regularly in the dried jaws like a
monkey’s, but the eyes have shrunk and
crumbled away. Mr. Kennedy says the
creature was plump about the shoulders and
breast when caught, but as it dried up a lot
of ridg.s appeared on the tightened skin, as
if there were ribs beneath. Oa the back oi
this natural curiosity are two sharp fins and
on each of the sides are two others. Mr.
Kennedy has been offered $ 100 for the speci
men, but he refused to part with it on any
terms. One man visited him this morning
and offered $3 to look at it, but he was allow
ed that privilege gratis. The owner will
have a glass case made for the preservation
of this odd creature from Cuina.
There is a message-boy in New York who
will probably not have much trouble in hold
ing his own in this world. Seut by his em
ployers for some money at the bank, he was
counting his money when a bystander said,
“You’ve dropped a bill.” Remembering the
game, instead of stooping down, he jus: put
uis foot on the bill and continued counting.
When through he picked up the bill and was
walking off, when the bystander remarked:
“I guess I was mistaken. I must have
dropped the bill myself.” “Fll keep it to re
member you by,” said the boy, as he went
away.
A TEAMSTER’S FRKDICAjnrwr.
Mono County presents a grand field for
conquest for the enthusiastic hunter ef the
lower country, where inch small fry as
quail, ducks and rabbits are the only game
that can be found. Up here the grizzly
roams about seeking whom he may devour.
Below Bridgeport this native of the woods
is beginning to be troublesome on account
of its frequent approaches to civilization.
A few days ago a teamster, who had in
charge an eighteen-male team and a heavy
load of freight, was delayed several, hours
in his progress by a grizzly. He had hauled
the heavy wagon to the top of a hill and
left the rest of his train at the foot. It
being about dinner-time, be left his team
and returned to the foot of the hill to take
his lunch, and was seated on his load enjoy -
:ng his frugal repast, when there appeared
at the rear of the wagon a huge grizzly.
The animal saw the teamster on top and
walked abont, surveying the scene. The
man on top had no firearms, and was in a
moment confident that he was in a state of
siege. To get off his load and run was
folly, so he sat and surveyed his enemy.
The bear seemed to enjoy the situation, and
was not at all worried. Occasionally he
would sit on his haonches and look at the
teamster, and then content himself by pick
ing up pieces of lnnch thrown to him. In
the meantime the teamster grew nervous.
His wife and children were thonght of,
and the trip to Bodie seemed dubious.
The animal remained there about two
hours, and then, concluding that it was of
no ose to stay, walked off to the wooded
hills. The teamster made for the wagon
on the hill, and the few gray hairs that are
now seen distributed among his locks are
attributed to this interview with Bruin.—

THE COLOR OF THE SEA.
The changes in the color of the sea have
attracted the attention of seafaring men
from the earliest times. They struck with
wonder the Phoenicians when first they
ventured out of the Mediterranean into the
Atlantic; they excited the astonishment of
Columbns and terrified his companions,
while in search of the far-famed Indies;
and they are no less a surprise to the mod
em navigator, to whom the march of dis
covery has left few unexplored regions in
store. One of the most remarkable and
most widely distributed contrasts of color,
is that which is known to exist bet ween the
intensely blue seas situated between the
topics and the green seas of higher lati
tudes. It appears, as the result of recent
observations, and more especially of a series
of experiments made on board the German
frigate Gazelle, that there is an intimate
relation between the color of sea-water and
the proportion of salt held in solution by
the latter. On comparing the specific
gravity of green water with that of blue
water, it was found that the latter is always
heavier than the former, and therefore at
the same time more salt.
A Canadian paper says that Canadian
girls make better wives than any to be found
on this side of the border. Let them c une
over, then, and get husbands worthy of them.
COOKING ON A LARGE SCALE.
Harvard College owns a building fitted
with all the conveniences to cook for several
hundred hungry young men, and there are
now boarding in it a number which must
keep the cooks busy. Here is a short
account of the establishment, from the
Golden Rule:
The Harvard Dining Association has nine
ty employees besides its steward. A ten-
horse-power engine, burning two tons of
coal per day, heats the building, and sup
plies steam for the cooking and baking;
but when Sanders’s theatre is heated, a third
ton of coal is required. The cooking ap
paratus is on a vast scale. The great soup-
kettle holds 226 gallons, and it is said to be
the largest kettle ever cast in this country.
Only 110 gallons of soup, however, are
required for the daily dinner. The oat-meal
kettle holds fifty-five gallons, and that for
cracked wheat twenty gallons; but not
quite, though very nearly, this amount is
consumed daily.
The great range, twenty-five feet long,
contains four ovens, and does all the frying
and heating of plates, etc. There are seven
kettles for boiling meats and five for vege
tables, and none of them of very small size,
while the great charcoal grate will easily
broil steak for 650 men. Bat the most
astounding parts of the culinary arrange
ments are the two great ovens, one for
baking meats, and one for bread and pies.
The first will cook 2,000 pounds of meat,
the other 250 pies. They are not by any
means too large, however, since from 800
to 1,000 pounds of meat are consumed
daily, and some ninety loaves of graham
and seventy-five of white bread. The heat
never leaves the pastry oven from one
month to another.
“ How much flour do you use per day ? ”
I asked.
“ We average at least a barrel and a half,”
was the reply.
“ And how many pies at one lnnch ? ”
*‘A hundred and twenty-five, for which
three barrels of apples are needed.”
Some delicious-looking butter was un
packing from a huge box, and I learned
that seventy-five pounds are here daily
used for the tables, and abont the same
amount for cooking. That the students
had not gone hungry on that day was
conclusively shown from the fact that at
breakfast 450 pounds of rump steak and
sixty-five pounds of fish had been consumed;
that the larder contained for the dinner 300
pounds of turkey and 500 pounds of beef;
that 160 gallons of milk (the daily allow
ance), and forty puddings of large size,
were in store, while twelve immense pans
of gingerbread were being prepared for the
oven.
SWINDLEb HIMSELF.
A Kentucky cheat has been nicely cheat
ed. A saw-mill man paid a good price for
a large walnut log, supposing it to be a
sound bnt ordinary piece of timber. When
they had floated it to the mill and were tak
ing it from the water, a plug twenty-two
inches in diameter and five feet long
dropped out of it. The log was hollow and
rotten inside, but so ingeniously plugged up
that it was not discovered by the ordinary
examinations and measurements wh:le it
was in the water. It was designed to be a
swindle on a large scale ; but it turned out
that the old shell was of a most beautiful
variety of curled walnut, and after being
sawed into lumber yielded the handsome
sum of $60, or considerable more than he
paid for it. The plugging was very neatly
done, and the would-be swindler was evi
dently experienced, but he rather was
oaught that time.
Among the many useful results of Ben
Franklin’s practical experiments was the
introduction of the use of brooms made from
broom-corn, a substitute for the “hickory
broom ” of his day. He found some seeds
on a broom, planted one, and, it is said, from
this single seed sprang the broom com so
largely cultivated in the United States to
day.
While fanners are wondering what po
tato-bugs are good for, a little boy from the
city has discovered a use for them as bait
tor perch.
“ People Will Brink.’*
If it is insisted that men will drink, and no
1 refusal to license can present it, the answer
is plain. No law against theft prevents steal
ing, but it is a great gain that when men
steal they thereby becomee violators of the
law, and are thus liable to be punished. If
men will sell, let it be done against any legal
sanction, and let them become law breakers.
There is a prohibitory law against counter
feiting, but men continue to counterfeit the
coin of the country. Is it therefore best to
legalize the business? Will such a law pro
mote honesty ?— Watchman.
