WAS stopping
t m, ft Lakeside Dr. Leonard, when and I
ykRfo- response to his
WtM U tation3, spent
Hfj f l’V/ pleasant hours in his
,, y oosv bachelor apart-
meats. One evening,
& ? after returning from
t- X' a patient and
Y himself before the
§> r to the enjoyment
a last cigar before
tiring for the ni-dit, ^ he tofcl me the fol-
lowing story:
A few years ago I left the care of my
patients in the hands of a brother phy-
sician and went down to my old home
in the western part of New York to settle
up the remainder of the busines con-
nected with my lather's estate. It proved
much more troublesome than I expected
ami detained me iu the old place for sev-
oral weeks. During this time I was a
guest at a farm house at the edge of the
village where an old friend of the family
resided.
According to the good custom of the
people in that section of the country all
the attaches of the farm were counted as
members of the household and dined
together at the same large table. It was
early harvest time and the family was in¬
creased by a number of temporary farm
help who were hired for the busy part of
the season. Among these was a young
fellow of about twenty, ot fair com-
plexion, broad intelligent brow, but of a
cast of couutcnance expressive of deep
melancholy.
The men w ere of a jovial set and filled
in the hits of leisure at meal time and
after the day’s work was over in recount-
ing their numerous experiences. This
man, however, never shared in their
hilarity, but sat silently apart in a dark
portion of tiie room until time for retir-
mg. I inquired who he was and was
told that his name was Dave; they had
never learned his surname; in fact, they
*
had never asked about it.
Dave had come early in May and had
engaged ceileut for the season. He was au ex-
worker, they testified, but very
reticeut, never speaking except in an-
swer to a question or when it was an
absolute necessity to ask one. He was
kind to the animals, clever in taking
hold of any new kind of work, aud very
industrious, often performing more than
twe good men. They did not under-
stand him, but hoped that he could be
hired for another season.
I became deeply interested in this
Dave, and resolved to make a study of
his character, aud if possible, win him
over to a more cheerful view of life. I
begau to address him whenever we met
on various topics concerning his work,
but, although I received courteous an- .
swers, was wholly unaole to get him iuto
conversation. lie seemed to be brood-
ing over some painful idea that refused
him a moment's respite.
I noticed the restive, nervous energy
with which he worked, as if only the
most laborious effort could keep down
an inward demonstration of thought, lie
continuously wore a look of depression,
and sometimes in the dim light of the
corner where he sat after the dav’s work
was done, I fancied I perceived tears iu
his eyes and a look of agony ou his face,
but lie said nothing. I began to think
that he was one of those enigmatic
beings upon whose spirit some hidden
disease had shed an eternal melancholy,
and that perhaps there was no concrete
cause for his reticence and gloom.
One day the sun arose warmer than
usual, and by noon the air had become
so charged with heat and moisture as to
render physical exertion almost impossi-
ble. After dinner the men lay down in
the shade of the cool maples, and de-
dared their unwillingness to do anything
further until late in the afternoon. They
would make up for lost time after sun-
down. Dave, however, took his fork as
usual, and started for the field, andwheu
the old farmer called and urged him to
wait until the worst of the midday heat
had worn away, he only shook his head,
ana answered that he did not mind the
beat.
Later, when the young men went back
to their work, they lound Dave lying in
the burning sun as though dead. They
brought him to the house and placed him
under my care. For many days after-
ward his lite hung m a ojit^uc6, and only
the most careful nursing prevented the
shock from proving fatal. Much of the
time he was delirious, and in the ravings
of his disordered mind I learned some-
thing of his past history. He afteu
crud out; “Elsie, I didn’t do the deed,
but they will haug me; ye*, they will

back, come back I and in bis frantic
eagerness I had te hold him down by
llis voice became almost pathetic as he
pleaded for Elsie not to turn away with
that look of horror on her lace. “It is
n«t the hanging, Elsie,” he often cried
out. “I could easiiv die if it were not
that you believe me guilty. O.i, that
wrc t c hed threat and that wretched quar-
re l; ^ ut j te p you? Elsie, that I am in-
noccnt.” Sometimes he would
!iuiet and murmur softly: “I knew, dear
Elsie, that you would believe me in-
nocent.”
One morning he opened his eyes and I
3 aw by his look that reason had returned,
lie asked what had happened, and
* him that he had been very ill.
“Are you the doctor?” he asked, “and
whose house is this? I was never in this
room before.” I evaded the simple
j question u by -J telling a him that he was with
riends and that he must keep quiet and
| talk he and think as little He promised as possible until obey
grew stronger to
and lay back on his pillow. I looked in
j a few minutes later and found him sleep-
ing calmly with a smile on his face.
He began to convalesce after this, but
the old look returned and checked some-
wljat the progress of returning health,
One afternoon I sakk “Dave, I want to
be ycur friend. You are in trouble. I
knew that something was making you
unhappy before you became ill, but du-
ring your illness I heard you refer to the
cause. Do not be afraid, but tell me all
and I may be able to help you.” He
opened his honest blue him*as eyes with a look
so sad that I pitied I had never
H no bpf
“Hr. Leonard,” said he, “did you
lcarn that 1 am suspected of murdering
an old friend, and if I should he dis-
covered here there is circumstanstial ev-
idence enough to convict me, although I
really committed no crime? I had an
intimate friend by the name of Iveson
and bis sister had promised to be my
wife. My parents were dead and I lived
with my uncle not far from the Iveson
mansion. Every thing went on well
with George Iveson and me until after
engagement with Elsie.
“I was poor. The Ivesons were
wealthy. My father had betrayed a
trust and the blow killed my mother,
Father died while serving his time and I
was left tc the care ot an uncle whose
reputation was bad. My life had been
ycr 7 unhappy until I met George Iveson.
He did not treat me like the rest, but
invited me to his home, and there I met
Elsie. She was a beautiful girl, and her
sympathy tor my loneliness grew to love,
and we were very happy.
“It was some time before George learned
about it, but we thought he ought to
know. George was feeling moody the
day I choose to disclose our secret, aud
I at the news flew into a powerful rage,
taunted me with the ill name of my par-
0n t 3 and said that no such blot should
j ovcr be cast on his family. He said
that I had betrayed the friendship he
bad given me from pity aul because he
believed I was trying to do right, but he
' vas mistaken aud we were friends no
longer,
“At first I tried to be reasonable, but
when he spoke of my parents I lost all
restraint and we exenanged many bitter
words. He swore tnat he would fix it
80 f bat I should never marry Elsie, and I
said: ‘If you do I will kill you.’ I
was in a threatening attitude when I
spoke these words and freuzied with
ra -? e - They were overheard by some
passersby, and among them by Joe
Wilkinson, a man who bore me au old
family grudge.
“I went to bed early that evening, but
was unable to sleep, and at midnight I
arose aud left the house. My head
throbbed violently as I pickel my way
along the stony road leading to the river,
where there is a deep gorge aud a water-
lad * ^ found a resting place on the edge
of the precipice and trie l to de-cry the
bottom through the dim light. The
clouds were scudding across the sky,
driv en by a raw damp wind which s vept
through the gorge and kept the trees
above moaning as if bewailing with me
tb e loss of my Irieads. I remained in
the place until daylight broke and the
sun dissipated the chilly gray of the east;
tliea 1 started back toward my uncle's
house. ■
“I turned through a neighbor’s field,
the same that had heard my threat, but
be.ore I Lad reached the road on the
other side a savage voice called for me
to halt. I stopped and turned back in
surprised. What was my horror when I
reached the spot where the man was to
see George Iveson lyiug on the stony
ground aead. There was an ugly wound
on his head, as if struck by a heavy
blow with a blunt instrument. I forgot
my resentment in a moment and was
overcome with grief. 1 stooped to lift
the body iu an easier po ntion, but was
knocked completely off ray feet by a club
which the man had in his hand. ‘You
young murderer,’ he cried, ‘your snivel-
iog will not help you out of this. You
will haug as high as Human or ray name
is not Joe Wilkinson. We heard your
threat yesterday, and I have caught you
to-day You will go a step higher than
your dad, I reckon.'
“I was thunderstruck, but suddenly
the hopelessness of my condition dawned
upon me. W ilkinsou’s fierce taunt
roused me to action. I leaped upon him,
struck him to the ground and turned
back among the rocks. I found a hiding
place and the next night got away from
the country. I wandered about like a
beast for a few weeks, until at last,
growing bolder,I came here and obtained
work. It proved some relaxation to the
misery I suffered, but I am innocent. Do
you believe me, Doctor!”
I told him HHH that I did and would
mAko eiiorts to learn nil the subsequent
circumstances and advise him according-
ly. In the meantime he should be pa-
tient and try to get well faster,
A few daj3 after this occurrence a
carriage containing a gentleman aud
lady stopped at the old farm hou*e, and
the gentleman requested the privilege of

^brotberjnd Q C f thi- but a few mo-
ments later, when he addressed her as
Elsie, I was so startled that I leaped to
my feet.
“Pray, what is your name? ’ I gx-
claimed excitedly.
The gentleman appeared surprisod, but
answered quietly “My name is George
Iveson, and this lady is my sister, Elsie.”
“Have you a scar on your head?” I ex
claimed, hardly knowing what I was
saying, I was so excited.
“Yes,” said Mr. Iveson, looking at me
in wonderment, “but my hair oovers it
up and I wonder at your noticing it. I
fell,” he went on, “and was nearly
killed a few months ago, but it healed
rapidly aDd I am perfectly well now. A
neighbor accused an old friend of doing
the deed, for he had overheard us in a
quarrel. h My j friend disappeared It and has
never been heard of since, although I
have done my utmost to find him.
Elsie was crying I arose and going .
over to her said- “Providence sends us
strange experiences; some bring sorrow
and some happiness; was your friend a
name Dave?”
George sprang to his feet. “Can you
tell me where he is?” he cried.
I explained everything and shortly
afterward, when I openea the door to
Dave’s room, I felt that life was a very
dear gift when used in behalf cf others.
“Dave,” I said, what would you con-
sider the best news that I could bring
you?”
“That the past five rnonfns of my life
has been only a dream,” said Dave,

(l “ 'br Wouldn M ,. t suit .. well nil to know
you as
that George recovered frora his hurt?”

He looked up and answered slowly;
“That is impossible, for ho was dead.”
“It is possiole,” said I, “and I really
believe that he may have recovered.”
Gradually I told him all, and there
came over his tired face a look of tran-
quil happiness.
A few years later, when a square en-
velope appeared in my mail one morn-
ing, I was so interested that 1 forsook
my patients and went to the wedding,
George was the best satisfied brother-in-
law in the world, and Joe Wilkinson
swore that Dave was the brightest young
lawyer iu that section of the country, and
if he didn’t deserve success no one did.

The Expenses of the Government.
The total receipts of the Government
under the administration of President
Washington were $56,448,721; under
Jefferson, $108,238,978. The popula¬
tion of the country had increased 36 per
cent., and the receipts 92 per cent.,
while expenditures had advanced about
9f percent. From the end of Jefferson’s
last administration to the beginning of
Abraham Lincoln’s term of office the
population of the country increased from
7,000,000 to 31,000,000, while re eipts
and expenditures grew fivefold greater
than they were when GaliatiD was at th*
aead cf the Treasury Department.
ln Buchanan’s time the expenditures
of the Government amouuted to about
00U a year. In lSDt), the pop-
ulatl ° fl aud valuations in the meantiuo
having about doubled, the expenditures
were $359,000,000, an increase of 340
per cent.
These, however, are only the apparent
expenditures. There are exceptional
eutlays which ought not to be counted
as P art tb e ordinary cost of maintain-
ing the Government. To be fair and ac-
curate, these extraordinary sums may be
deducted and the results tabulated. We
will thus compare the fiscal years I860
and 1890. We will deduct the payments
Ior pensions, interest and principal on
the public debt.*

per cent. In 1880 these ordinary
expenses amounted to $115,10S,2 j9, so
that in the decade ending with 1S90 the
increase in the Government’* expendi¬
tures was nearly 90 per cent., while the
increase of population was about 25 per
cent., aud of valuations 43 per cent.

Developed by a Canary,
The song of a canarv made Ludwig
Spohr a musician. His'father played on
a flute; his mother was a pianist and a
singer, so that the boy lived in an attnos-
phere of music. One* day, when he was
four years ot age, a thunder storm so
mpressed him that he retired to a corner
0 f the room, sat down on the floor and
looked in mournful silence straight be-
fore him. Suddenly the roof of clouds
that had darkened the sky was rent asun-
der bv a sunbeam, which as it entered
the room fell upou the cage of a canary
hanging turnedlts before the window. The bird
little head up to the beam,
hopped from one perch to the other and
then warbled a joyous song. The boy,
awakened by the bird’s thrills from his
semi-stupor, listened with passionate
rapture. The tones touched nerve and
brain, his heart throbbed in musical pul-
s&tions, and at that moment all his
world opened before him. He never
ceased so hear that canary’s rinffin^
thrills, which tnen and there revealed to
him his vocation.—New York Mercury.

_
Thursday —The regular order in the
} 10use was t ke niotion of Mr Warner to
lay on the table the bill called up bv Mr
Hatch, to provide a uniform standard
classification and trading of wheat corn
oats, barley and rye. Opponents of the
measure refrained from voting, thus
breaking a quorum—the vote by letters
being announced 7 to 121. The hour
accorded the committee of agriculture
having expired, the bill resumed its
P' ace on the calendar. Mr.
from the committee on foreign affaire
ca ! ed U P the bill to enforce recipro-
cal commerc ml relations Canada. between b3l the
States and The was
passed | without division. Also the bill
ranti ” to the Pensacola Terminal torn-
th ri ht of through Mr? the naval
reservation at Pensacola. Sayers pre-
sented the general disagreeing conference report
on the deficiency appropriation
bill. The main amendments now in dis-
pute are those relative to the Indian dep-
redation claims. French spoliation claims
and Pacific railroad claims. The report
was agreed to, and the amendment
on which no agreement was reached
went over for discussion and action until
Friday at 12:30 o’clock. Mr. II nder-
8on - ^ ort h Carolina, called up the bill
authorizing the postmaster general to
^ue pos-al fractional notes of the de-
nomination of !j> 1 and less which shall be
furnished to all e? postmasters in such sums
as the postmast general shall deem suf-
ficient and shall be sold at their face
value. Postmasters shall be allowed as
compensation for issuing and paying
postal fractional notes at their respective
offices 1-4 of 1 per cent on the gross
amount thereof. On ordering the pre-
vious question no quorum voted, the vote,
standing yeas 151,nays 7, and the house
adjourned.
Friday.—T he house,immediately after
meeting Friday morning, proceeded with
the regular order, which was the call of
committees. The time allowed the post
office committee having expired, with-
out action on any measure, the commit-
tee on public lands called up a few- bills
of little general interest and none of
them succeeded in passing, the filibuster-
ing being so strong. Mr. Sayers then
called up the senate amendments to the
general deficiency bill, which have not
yet been agreed upon. One hour was
granted to deb ste on the subject of Iu-
dian depredations claims, one hour for
French spoliation claims, one hour for
the amendment paying the widows or
legal representatives of deceased mem-
bers of congress, half hour for Pacific
railroad claims and ten minutes
for the item relative to the
salary of the assistant attorney
general iu charge of the I dian depreda-
tion claims. The amendments relative to
the claim of the Pacific railroads and for
the payment of the assistant attorney
general were non-concurred in. An
amendment was adopted to the senate
paragraph relating to the payment to
widows of deceased representatives. The
amendment specifi s the persons to whom
the various amounts may be paid, and
provides that the legal representatives
shall be paid the balance of the salary to
which the member would have been en-
titled, deducting mileage. The next
amendment relates to the French spolia
tion claim amendment, but before the
hou-e had disposed of it the hour of 5
o’clock arrived, and a recess was taken
until 8 o’clock, the evening session to be
for the consideration of private pension
bills.
Saturday. - The house resumed con-
sideration of the senate amendment to the
general deficiency appropriation bill. The
pending amendment was that relative to
the French spoliation claims. It was
non-concurred in.
M onday. —In the bouse, Monday, Mr.
Wheeler, of Michigan, called up as spe-
cial order the report of the committee
investigating the workings of the pen-
sion office. Mr. Little, of New York,
took the floor in advocacy of the m-tjori-
ty resolution, which give it as the judg-
meat of the house that the president
should remove Baum. He believed that
the present administration of the pension
bureau was unfortunately one of the few
dark pages that had occurred in connec-
tion with departmental management. He
believed it to be a political and moral
crime to permit such management to
continue. Mr. Lind, of Minnesota,
in opposing the resolution, turned
his attention chiefly to repre-
sentative Cooper, of Indiana, and the
part Mr. Cooper bore in the investiga-
tion. Mr. Enloe, one of the authors of
the investigation resolution, spoke in fa-
vor of the report. The debate was in-
terrupted at tlvs time by Mr. Sayers,
who submitted the disagreeing report on
the general deficiency appropriation bill,
and the report was agreed to Mr Hoi-
manthen moved that the house recede
from its amendment granting to widows,
or legal representatives of deceased mem-
bers, the balance of the salary
such members would have received,

tiik senate. .
Thursday In the senate, the dis-
apeeing conference report on the deli-
c,enc ?'appropna ion l was presen e ,
ngreed to and a new conference asked.
House amendments to the senate bill for
the establishment of additional aids to
navigation at Tempa, Fla., were dis¬
agreed to and a conference was asked.
Mr. Carey, from the committee on terri-
tories, reported back the house bill for
the admission of New Mexico as a state
and said that he would not call it up
until next session. The anti-option Dill
was taken up and Mr. Washburn, in
charge of it. moved to strike out section
12, which he said he had never regarded
as essential. It required every man
who possessed property which lie
sold and who dealt in futures to take out
a licerse and keep a record. No action
whs taken on the amendment, and Mr.
Daniel proceeded with his argument
against the bill, which he had begun
Wednesday. Mr. White, of Louisiana,
next addressed the senate in opposition
the anti-option bill. Mr. White’s
speech was a passionate and ener-
getic arraignment of the bill as a usurp-
ation of state’s rights, as detrimental
to the interests of the producers of the
country. Mr. White did not conclude
bis speech, but the bill went over to Fri-
day. The house bill to enforce reciprocal
commercial relations with Canada was
laid before the senate and was placed on
the calendar. The bills were passed
granting pensions to survivors of the
Indian war of 1832 to 1842, inclusive,
The senate amendments to this bill were
all withdrawn. The bill to provide for
the improvement of the outer bar of
Brunswick, G i,, passed. The senate then
adjourned after a brief executive session,
Friday.—T he resolutions offered
Thursday by Mr. Peffer, in the senate,
instructing the judiciary committee to
inquire into the relations of employes
and employers, was taken up Friday
Morning and Mr. Peffer addressed the
senate in its support. Mr. Peff r argued
there was but three ways to meet labor
tr<ubles. One was for the government
to keep its hands off and let employers
and employes settle the matter between
themselves; the second was for the gov-
eminent to establish and regulate the
rate of wages; the third was that the
government take possession of private
manufacturing establishments and con-
duct them ns public institutions. Mr.
Peffer’s preference was for the first
named method. At the close of his re¬
marks, the resolution was referred to the
committee on education and labor. The
res ilution heretofore offered by Mr.
Yoorhees, looking to the establishment
of a tribunal of arbitration in labor ques-
lions, was then taken up and Mr. Call
addressed the senate in support of it.
He argued that the employment of the
Pinkerton detective force was a violation
of law, and of the constitution, and that
an y should be indicted for raising
tr ° T s at h' s own sweet will and pleasure
without 'he sanction of the courts or of
the authorities of the country. No action
was taken on the resolution which went
back to the table. The anti-option bill
wa s then taken up at 2:15 o’clock and
Mr. White resumed his argument beguu
Thursday in opposition to it. There was,
Mr. White said, a concensus of opinion
on the part of the great commercial bod-
ies of the country against the measure.
I Q proof of this he sent to the clerk’s
drsk and had read resolutions of the
Chamber of Commerce of the state
of New York, protesting against it
as injurious to the best interests of the
community. He also sent up and had
read protests of bankers of New York,
Chicago and New- Orleans against the
bill. He also sent up and had read a list
of other bodies that had sent memorials
to congress against the bill. That list
comprised New York, New Orleans, Sa-
vannah, Houston, Mobile, Greenville and
Memphis cotton exchanges, Milwaukee
chamber of commerce, Chicago board of
tI- ade, New York produce exchange,
Hew Orleans board of trade, New Orleans
clearing house association, bankers, mill-
ers and merchants of Toledo, Ohio; Bal-
timor e corn snd flour exchange, Chicago

DUN'S REPORT.
Trade for the Past Week Very En¬
couraging.
Dun & Co.’s weekly review says:
There is a distinct improvement not only
in tran-actions iu comparison with the
same time last year, but also in pros¬
pects f r the com ng seas >n. In the cot¬
ton market a decline of a sixteenth oc¬
curred with sales of 560,000 bales in
the week. Owing to the continued large
receipts and improved crop prospects,
cotton mills are actively employed and
orders will keep the woolen mills cowded
for some time to come, while boot and
eh e mikers arc full, rubber works
busy, leather firm and wool freely
bought by manufacturers, sales reach¬
ing 5,400,000 pounds for the week.
At Philadelphia trade in most lines is
fair but more firm in manufactured iron,
w hile wool sales are large and the gro
eery liade is excellent for the season. In
dry goods customers are still caution*,
but more activity is feen.
Manufactured iron is stiffened at Pitts¬
burg by the clo-ing of rainy mills, and
trade at Cleveland is pushing beyond its
capacity with som: advance in structural
; .ron.
The clothing trade at Cincinnati in¬
creases with orders from the south.
Louisville (rude is fair with excellent
pro-pects, but at other southern points
seasonable dullness appears,
R tin is reported to h^ve slightly aff ect¬
ed cotton about Savannah and consider¬
able improvement in trade is seen at New
Orleans, though sugar is strong and rice
firm.
PRODUCTION OF IROX.
Official reports make th * production of
iron for the first half of 1892 4,799,056
gross tons against $3,338,107 for the first
half of 1891, and in he year ending with
June 9,710,819 gross tons against 8,279,-
870 the previous year. Unsold stock
148.621 tons for the half year, but only
16 235 tons for the last quarter. .South¬
ern sTes depress the prices of pig, but
bar, p'ate and structural iron are very
active and temporarily higher.
Merchandise exports in three weeks of
July are or ly half of 1 per cent, larger
than last year, while in imports a large
increase appears.
Business failures occurring throughout
the country during last week number for
toe United States, 168; for the corre¬
sponding week of last year, 231.
