The undulating line of brown bills which encircled the Rancho del r uego were dim under the materialized neat; the creek was dry; the little brown huts of the rancheria in the willows were silent as tombs; even the Indians were taking their siesta.

The American regarded the floor for a moment, let his eves dwell on her once more, then shook his head “No,” he said. “You are the only woman I ever wanted, dear Dona Amata, and I cannot give you up. I have the less scruple, because I know that you will be far happier with me than with your idle, shiftless Spanish lover—” But he was not allowed to proceed, Dona Amata sprang to her feet and beat her little hands clinched together. “No say one word by him!" she cried, her voice choked with wrath, her eves AND PIEDMONT INDUSTRIAL » ,. . __ N wor<3, TT* ?

When she paused for breath lie replied, “My dear Dona Am- ata, I at least am aiming to benefit some oue besides myself. You say that I am a bad man. What will you thi nk of yourself when you see your father beg- gared, living on charity in an Indian's hut? I say nothing of the fact that your delicate hands will probably have to cook his beaus.

Why, my dear seuorita, I am only forty.” He looked at her amusedly; he was certainly not old enough to be sensitive. “But it is very old to us,” sobbed the girl. “I only am eighteen and Antonio no is more than twenty-two. When our mens are forty they are very stout and have the complexion like coffee, so I no can think is young. You,” spite- fully, “no are stout because you work all the timemaka the moneys.” At this juncture another door opened, and an old man entered the room. A black silk handkerchief was knotted about his head, he wore short clothes of green cloth decorated with laYge silver buttons. He was very stout, and even his features seemed to have relaxed un¬ der the enervating influence of the Cali- fornia life of that period. His black eyes were a trifle bleared, his indefinite featnres wore a somewhat testy expres- sion as he glanced from his daughter to her suitoi. “Don James Cunningham, I am glad to see you,” he said, slowly. “What is the matter? I tell her to marry you and she do it,” and he brought his cane d °"' a fnthe hare floor. r °k «“>«*» filial , rebellioniforthe u- , Brst time u her lrfe. V ‘ m Tl A “ tom “- Ay ’.

Wonderfully ... . f .. Dramatic .. Scene. _ Benjamin Brewster* afterwards attor- ne y-g en eral of the United States, was some ? ears a "° the central figure in a vvonderiully dramatic . scene in a Phila- de’.phia court. Mr. Brewster's lace, it * je remem bered, was frightfully scarre d by an accident in his youth. He was extremely sensitive cf his facial mis- fortu ne, but never referred to it himself uor an y bls thousands of friends ever ask him its cause. The trial referred to was a bitterly contested affair, and Brewster at every point got so much the best of the opposing counsel that his leaflin g adversary was in a white heat, * a denouncing the railroad company this law J' er wit h bis voice tremulous with an S ei > exclaimed, “This grasping cor- P oratlou i s as dark, devious and scarri- in its methods as is the face of its cb i e f attorney and henchman, Benjamin Brewster!’ This violent outburst of rage an<i cruel invective was followed by a breathless stillness in the crowded court room that was painful. Hundreds of pitying eyes were riveted on the poor paired face of Brewster, expecting to see hirn spring from his chair and catch his heartless adversary by the throat. Mr. Brewster slowly arose and spoke some- thin " like thts to the court: “Your honor, in all my career as a lawyer I have never dealt in personalities; nor did I ever feel called upou to explain the cause physical misfortune, but I will do so now. When a boy—and my mother, God bless her! said I was a pretty boy— when a little boy, while playing around an open tire one day with a little sistei just beginning to toddle, she fell into the roaring flames. I rushed to her rescue, pulled her out before she was seriously hurt, and fell into the fire myself. When they took me out of the coals my fact was as black as that man’s heart.” Tht last sentence was spoken in a voice whose rage was that of a lion. It had an elec¬ trical effect, and the applause that greeted it was superb, but in an instant turned to the most comtemptuous hisses directed at the lawyer who had so basely insulted Mr. Brewster. That lawyer’s practice in Philadelphia afterward dwindled to such insignificance that he had to leave the city for a new field.—Boston Transcript. The Power of the Rivers. The possibility of utilizing the current of our rivers t0 furnisU w „ „„ sh ha, often been a subject of speculation. There are lew minds which hive not rec- ognized the immense benefits that would accrue from such an achievement if it were possible; but tbe majority, both lay and expert, have been accustomed to «™opt the difficulties flow*, presented by the „„ reli ability of the the variation of the height of the rivers and the slight fall as practically insuperable from the e n<nneerino- noint of view An expert who refuses to be tied up by precedent, however, declares his be- b ef that these difficulties can be over- come.

Snakes Against Rabbits. A good deal of attention, writes a South Australian correspondent, has been bestowed upon the subject of rabbit de- struction, and some astounding sugges- tions have been received from various parts l of the world. The last should suggestion that „ nuorber of carpet be let loose among tne rabbits, which would, it is asserted, be speedily eaten up by the reptiles. When from five feet to six feet long they are able to ; eat two or three rabbits at a meal, but when fifteen or sixteen feet long they are able to eat six rabbits. Anticipating mquiiy as to what would happen if the snakes became more numerous than rab- bits, he proposes that carpet snakes of one kind only should be used, and after eating all the rabbits the snakes would then proceed to eat each other. —Boston Transcript. ^ " " The Summit of Epicurean Pleasure, The unfortunate who has not caught a nectarine in its best stages has the sum- mit of epicurean pleasures yet to aspire to. It wants to be perfectly ripe, and then allowed to shrivel just a little in the sun. The man who got off the sen- tence that “doubtless the Lord could have made a better fruit than the straw- berry,but certainly He never did,’’would be ashamed of himself could he once get a bite of a perfectly manipulated nectarine. There is difficulty in fruiting them on account of the curculio. The smooth skin is attractive to this insect pest. Someday the man who has con- quered the curculra in the plum and made plum growing immensely profit- able, will try his hand on the nectarine also.—Meehan's Monthlj. NATIONAL CAPITAL What is Being Done in Congressional Halls for the Country’s Welfare. PROCEEDINGS FROM DAT TO DAT BBIEFLT TOLD—BILLS AND MEASURES UNDER CONSIDERATION—OTHER NOTES. THE HOUSE. Tiiursdat. —Immediately after the reading of house journal and the refer¬ ence of sundry senate bills the floor was accorded to the committee on judiciary. Fridat —The only business transacted in the house Friday was the few bills authorizing the construction of bridges over navigable rivers. Among these were a bill authorizing the Mexican Gulf, Pacific and Puget Sound Railroad Com¬ pany to construct bridges across the Ala¬ bama,Warrior and Tennessee rivers, Ala¬ bama, and a bill authorizing the construc¬ tion of a bridge across the Tennessee river in Madison county, Alabama. The house took the usual recess till 8 o’clock, the evening session to be for the consid- eretion of private pension bills. Monday’.— In the house, Monday, on motion of Mr. Peel, cf Arkansas, a bill was passed providing that Indian cliil dren shall be declared to be citizens when they have reached the age of twenty-one years, and shall thereafter receive no support from the government, provided, that they have had ten years of indus¬ trial asked training. Mr. Otis, of Kansas, consent for the present considera¬ tion of the resolution reciting improper conduct on the part of Secretary Noble and Commissioner Carter in regard to the Maxwell, New Mexico, land grant—said conduct being alleged to be in pursuance of a conspiracy entered into some years ago by Stephen B. Elkins and J. A. Williamson—and asking for a special committee of seven members to inquire into the matter. Mr. Payne, of New York, objected, and the resolution was referred. The floor was then accorded to the coin mittee on the District of Columbia. What is known as “District Day” is never a drawing Programme in the house, there¬ fore, the second and fourth Mondays in a month are honored with a very small attendance and proved no exception to the rule. Absenteeism and indifference ruled supreme. After the passage of a few local measures, the fortifications ap¬ propriation bill was taken up, but no final action was taken. A few public land bills were passed, and the house ad journed. Tuesdat. —On the opening of the ses¬ sion of the house Tuesday morning the death of Representative Stackhouse, of South Carolina, was announced. The deputy sergeant-at-arms was notified to make arrangements for the funeral, and the house, in respect to the memory, of the deceased, adjourned. THE SENATE. Thursday —There was even fewer re publican senators present at the opening of Thursday’s session than there has been since the exodus to Minneapolis set in,but among the half dozen were Sherman, Morrill and Manderson. The chair was occupied by the vice president. The first thing proposed and agreed to was that adjournment be had till Monday. Monday.— The first indication of the Democratic movement on Chicago was the granting of leave of absence to Mr. Voorhees by the Senate Monday morn¬ ing. The pension appropriation bill with amendments was reported back from the committee on appropriations and placed ou the calendar. The bill intro¬ duced by Pfeffer on the 26th of May to increase the currency and provide for its circulation, to reduce tlie rates of inter¬ est aud to establish a bureau of laws, was taken from the table and Pfeffer address¬ ed the senate in explanation and advocacy of it. There is a section in the bill pro viding for loans, at one third of one per cent a month, by a bureau of loans for less than twelve months, on security of personal property, whenever any state shall have provided warehouses for agri¬ cultural products, such as cotton, wheat and tobacco, and for manufactured arti¬ cles that will not deteriorate by storage for a few months. Much of Mr. P effer’s speech was in denunciation of usury, which he said was breaking down the republic. The people, he said, were in earnest about that matter. The republic would go down unless the people overe saved, and there was no way of saving them except by destroying the great evil of usury. This bill was on that line. It was suggestive and helpful, and at least deserved the consid¬ eration of the senate. Mr. Chandler ask- e d Mr. Pfeffer whether he considered the fi uestion of the constitutional power of congress to lend money on real estate and ff*' r } c }* *l? r A P ro ^ducts.

Tlie pension appropriation bill was re¬ ported to the senate Monday from commit¬ tee $146,737,320, on appropriation. Ic carries a total of which is an increase of 11.9i2,284 over the house bill and $327,- 200 less (ban the estimates. The bill as n ported exceeds that of last year by $11,522 3(!3. The principal increase over the house bill is $11,907,634 for army and navy pensions. A special of Saturday from Washing¬ ton says: Amid the talk of congratula¬ tions at the White house, in political cir¬ cles Friday, the name of Chauncey M. Depew was upon every one's lips, and the president himself struck the keynote by a n mark concerning the yeoman service j erformed in his behalf by the di>t>nguisiicd New Yorker. It would not be much of a surprise if Depew be¬ came the successor of Blaine. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, in the senate Thursday took occasion to refer to the split iu the democratic party in his state. He said that it was induced mainly by the poverty and affliction which had followed the demonetization of silver. The democratic party, it was true, had not had the power to correct that evil. He wanted, however, to warn his fellow democrats, when they were preparing for the' coming presidential campaign, to remember Alabama, and that the}* might lose ihe electoral vote of that state in a certain contingency. BIG BLAZE AT BALTIMORE. Several Vessels Damaged aud 5,000 liales of Cotton Destroyed, The big warehouse of the Bay Line of steamers, at the fcot of Union dock, Bal¬ timore, took fire Tuesdiy afternoon from an unknown cause, and within five min¬ utes Stored was inside a roaring mass of flames. the warehouse, which is several hundred feet long, were between five hundred and one thousand bales of cotton, several shiploads of rosin in barrels, and a great number of hogs¬ heads of molasses. The inflamma¬ ble nature of the contents of tlie warehouse caused the blaze to spread with lightning-like rapidity. The big four-masted schooner Augus¬ tus Weil, the steamer Caroline and a number of other vessels lay. at the pier when the fire broke out. The Caroline caught fire, but the tugs made a desper¬ ate fight to save fl*ames her. '1 he schooner Wirt was The wrapped in in a few minutes. heat from the burning warehouse, together with tbqt of thc weather, was terrible on the firemen and several dropped at the hose pipes. The loss will approximate $1,000,000. The fire is thought to have oiigiuated from spontaneous combustion among the cotton. None of the vessels lying at the clocks were totally destroyed, because a tugboat drew them into the stream, where the fireboat, Cataract, and streams from the tugs saarnd them from total loss; but several fine vessals were badly dam- ag< cl. Among these were the steamers Caroline and Gaston, schoon¬ ers Wesley O iver, Mamie Howard, William Wirt and Augustus Weil. The latter had jusr arrived with 1,200 tons of ice. All the top hamper of the schoon¬ ers named avas burnt d off and the hulls damaged. The Bay Line warehouse was totally destroyed with its contents, in¬ cluding 5,000 bales of cotton and over one thousand, two hundred barrels of whisky, intended for foreign shimnent. GEN. STACKHOUSE DEAD. He Was an Alliance Congressman from South Carolina. General Eli B. Stackhouse, a member of congress from thc sixth district of South Carolina, and a prominent member of the Farmers’ Alliance, died in Wash¬ ington City at half past one o’clock Tues¬ day morning. He w-as one of the party that accompanied the remains o f the late Colonel L. L. Polk, president of the Farmers’ Alliance, to Raleigh, N. C., last Saturday. Mr. Stackhouse returned to Washington Monday morning. He went to the house of representatives, which is only one block from his resi¬ dence, and at two o’clock went home to luncheon. He complained of a slight attack of indigestion, but seemed to be in good sprits. He remained at home for a while, but returned to the house before adjournment of that body. Representative b ate, of Arkansas, a mem¬ ber of the Farmers’ Alliance, who has rooms in the hotel where Mr. Stackhouse stayed, says that the general did not re¬ turn to the hotel for dinner. About 12 o’clock Tuesday night Mr. Cate was call¬ ed to the rooms of Mr. Stackhouse aud was told that he avas dying. A physician was immediately summoned, but before he arrived Mr. Stackhouse was dead. The only persons at his bedside when he died were his son and Representative Cate. His remains ovill be taken to Little Rock, S. C., for interment. England at Chicago.
