Aldrich, in Harper’s. : DAVE. 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 THE TOCCOA NEWS AND PIEDMONT INDUSTRIAL JOURNAL. mu% r C a“ T -tfi 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 TOCCOA, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1892. aarrs-^s ness m her manner She spoke softly to ^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, c-iriip (l “ 'br Wouldn M ,. t suit .. well nil to know you as that George recovered frora his hurt?” sai< ^ ** 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. —Chicago News. 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.* Total expenditures for 1830..... 177,432,103 Laid for pens.oas.... $1,092,727 Interest and pricctoai of public deot...... 17,613,623 18,706,355 Ordinary expenditures for 1S50. $58,755,743 p^j ^ pen lltures for .....*358,613,a35 interest..... 0 s .81U6,936,855 on public debt............... 36,099,284 143,036,139 Ordinary expenditures for 1S93. 15,532,446 267 The increase was $156,826,69S, or per cent.

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.

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.

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, No action was taken and the hou-e ad- * journei Tuesday.—T he house resumed consid- eration of the general deficiency bill tho pending question being on the motion omemtaUt «»ScK f i rt for'JH5m«£Hf *” "T*,, to tabic the aridow., etc. The bou«e rcluaed—Teas ?i ci “£ 1 ah 4 E .

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 merchants and manufacturers, and Min- ^apol.s clearing house association, busi- ^- SS U ^ 0n and chamber of commerce, * ere th f- Se gr e f aS9 ° ciatlOQ8 . aaked ' mere 8 am .^ bleis? ^ d jes And of , degraded yet that and was abandoned ihe inevit- ™ lC0 “ e °f argents in support of ' * Ir *i ' u' te ? pok f thre< I hours and when he closed the bill £ ent ° v ? r without action till Saturday, ^ 7 D f °. 8 X ™ obtaiaed UP unaQ1 lmn ? ed,at “°f ! action the house bill to enforce r reciprocal commercial United btat es arrangements and f anada between Ic was takea the - . . passed without expiana- , any Canada canal’tolls Si bffi!) “l£ S 0 "’' "Oncyto blM *? pa »h.ch L th h e shcscamlcd “**? of ®°“ tb under c *™- the agricultural college bill, was adjoStned. reported »° ,i P«Md.

After a short executive session, the senate, at 5:55 o’clock, adjourned. of Tuesday —As soon as the journal Monday was read and a few depart¬ mental communications laid before the senate by its pre-ident pro tern., Mr. Manderson, a motion was made by Mr. Quay to go into executive session for the purpose of consid ring the nomination of justice of the supreme court. The mo¬ tion was agreed to and within the brief space of five minutes the doors were re¬ opened, the nomination of Mr. Shiras as justice of the supreme court of the Unitrd States having been confirmed. The pre¬ siding officer at 1 o’clock laid before the senate Mr. Hale’s r* solution as to the re¬ lative effects of the republican policy of “protection” and the democratic policy of “tariff for revenue only,” and Mr. Aldrich proceeded to address the senate on that subject, making a strong protec¬ tion speech. Mr. Vest followed immedi¬ ately on the opposite side of the question. The debate was interrupted in order to per¬ mit the conference report on the general deficiency Bill to be presented, The reading of the report showed that the conferees had agreed to modify the sen¬ ate amendment as to payment for govern¬ ment transportation on Pacific railroads. Other senators came into the debate, which lasted four or five hours. Mr. Hale’s resolution was then laid on the table. The anti-option bill was laid be¬ fore the senate as unfinished business and it went over till Wednesday The house bill granting a pension ot $12 a month to army nurses was taken up from the cal¬ endar aud passed with amendments and a conference asked. After a short exec¬ utive session the senate at 6:10 o’clock adjourned. NOTE8. 'Ihe world’s fair people have done some good work in the house within the last few days, and the indications are that when the $5,000,000 appropriation is voted on again they will have a ma¬ jority of the house.
