Mabry, dec’d., sold hero to-day at administrator’s sate for $650. The land is very rough and thin and was bought by Harrison. Mr. Henry Smith, a very old man, left home near Paoli, a few days ago, was gone several days, and when found, by the neighbors who were out in search, was in a branch dead. His mind was almost gone for several years before his death, and he needed watching and nurs ing like a child., There was Hill attendance at the rail road meeting here to-day in the interest of the Augusta and Chattanooga road. The meeting was quiet and business like, and there was a notable absence of the gush and wild enthusiasm usual on such occasions. CoL H. J. Pollard was here and in a business way explained clearly all the particulars regarding the building of the road. Committees of canvassers for subscription were appoint ed for each district in the county. The canvass is to be made and the committee to report on Saturday next, when we hope to be able to say what Madison will do for the road. Several men sub scribed $1,000. None more than that yet Committees were here from Point Peter, Harmony Grove and Homer in the inter est of the road. Banks county offers $50,000 for the road to run within one mile of Homer, and the committee says she will increase that to $75,000, if that amount should be required, and will se cure the road. Rev.

Isabella, Ga., April 29.—The spring term of Worth superior court is in session here now with large attendance of people. Quite a large number of iand cases of old standing have been tried already. Judge Bower has determined to dote the docket, of old cases that were filed years ago. Just as the court adjourned for dinner yester day the news was spread that there was a man killed down at a board ing house here. When the sheriff and a posse arrived they found that Tom Dick Rycroft had cuf Jacob Yeung in several places with a pocket knife. The trouble arose out of a case pending in the court. It seems that Young was indicted for larceny and that Rycroft was a witness against him, and that there had been an old feud existing be tween the parties for some time. When Young found that Rycroft was a witness against him it incens ed him. When they met at the boarding house Young asked Ry croft out in the road to talk with him, when Rycroft discovered Young making an attempt to draw his pistol. Rycroft told him not to draw a pistol on him. when Young said he would, and would kill him, too, but before Young got his pistol out Rycroft cut him across the neck and then stabbed him in several pla ces in his back. He also cut him in the abdomen, making a gash five or six inches long and letting his en trails out. The gash on bis neck waH a narrow escape from his throat and jugular vein. Rycroft then took Young's pistol and went in the house, sat down and waited for the sheriff, when be gave up the pistol and submitted quietly to the arrest. Drs. Pickett, Sykes and Hall were on the grounds and dresred the wounds of Young, after having to stitch up several places: They pronounced his wounds serious, and had only slight hopes of hisiecov ery. Late last night he was slowly sinking, with but slight hopes that would live till morning. Rycroft is still under arrest, awaiting the ac tion of the gTand jury, who are in session now. Little Johnnie Hall, a nephew of Major William A. Harris, of this place, was badly bitten by a large dog of W. J. Ford yesterday. He was attacked by the dog in the road and if it had not been for parties passing by, who beat the dog off, he would have probably been torn to pieces. He was getting on very well yesterday evening.

A Celebrated Humorist’s Ugliness. In and out ot season 1 know B31 Nye. He is the homeliest man in seven states. Not many months ago Bill and I and mother went west together. William was lec turing. The more I traveled with him and saw him in the primitive state, the more I became convinced of his ugliness. I became really ashamed of him. At the hotels where we stopped Bill’s homeliness actually took away my appetite. His face will stop the hands of a clock any day. Yet with all these strongly developed phenomena Bill is vain, positively vain, and loves to pose before the ladies. He does it, too, with tact and diplomacy, that wins admiration and makes the fair creatures forget that he has a face. Nye is bald. He is painfully bald. Out of one hundred bald heads his would be the one a man would pick as the mark for particular baldness. He is tall and loose jointed, and wherever he goes he is attired in claw-hammer coat. He stands with his hands behind and his toes turn ed in. At Waupaca, Wis., his fam ily tailor resides. I didn’t know that he had a game eye until recent ly. He is totally blind in his left eye and has a cast in it His full name is Edgar William Nye.

The wheat crop, judging from what we have heard from all sections of the coun ty, will prove a complete failure. A large area will be grazed by stock.

Ladles of Burlington N. J., Can Wear Them Under Restrictions. New York 8un. Burlington, N. J., April 24.— This town is all agog on the ques tion of “Mother Hubbard” costumes. The fuss was started by something that happened-Friday evening last. Mis* Ella Hammel, a well known belle, appeared at Broad and High street in a Mother Hubbard dress. As she walked down High street she heard a shout, and saw a dozen men behind her. She hastened on, hut a mob filled High street, uttering suiting epithets. Somg missiles were thrown, and Miss Hammel. al most beside herself with terror, hurried into a drug store. Capt. Hayes, Chief of police, was sent for, and escorted Miss Hammel to her home. The crowd yelled awhile outside of the Hammond mansion, but was finally dispersed bv the police. It is understood that Col. John Hammel will take legal proceedings against the men who started the hue and cry after his daughter,and the arrest of those most prominent in the affair expected to-morrow. Yesterday morning Mayor G>1 path forbade the wearing ot “Moth er Hubbards” on the streets of Bur- r.gton except under certain restric tions. Young ladies will hereafter be allowed to wear them as loosely as they please while seated on the steps of their own residence* or on their own grounds. They will also be allowed to wear them under the sanction of the law in the streets if the dresses are belted, but nut other wise, if the girls are alone. If they have escorts they can wear “Mother Hubbards” as much in the flowing boudoir fashion as they choose, in any part of the town.both in the day and evening. These regulations it is explained, are simply for the pur pose of protecting the girls of Bur lington from the wrath of the pop ulace, and are not intended especial ly upon the diess itself. Miss Ham mel, who was very much .excited by her narrow escape from the crowd’s wrath, is lying quite ill with nervous prostration. HOG MEAT. into a tall woman.

Villa Rica, Ga., May 2.—A young man here has been carrying on an extensive courtship a few miles in the country tor several months. A few days ago the couple disagreed. The young man had made the lady presents of two gold rings, etc., and after -'falling out” he demanded that they be re turned. The young lady refused to give them up. The young man had possessory warrants issued and served on the young lady. She pro posed to accompany the constable to court and s'and the young man a law suit. He then employed an attorney and was to give him half he recovered, and as one of the rings costs a great more than the other, they were to draw straws for the finest ring, but about the time things began to take shape and all expected a rare treat in the court house, the father of the young lady stepped in and interfered, and pro duced the rings and other finery. enur or tbs Knlghta. . Powderly, the grand master workman,is a man who would attract attention anywhere. His face is a striking one with clear-cut well-de fined features, a broad expansive forehead, which extends well back to the centre of the cranium; eyes sharp and seen, though concealed by spectacles; a nose straight and full; a mouth showing character and decision though veiled by a heavy moustache and a chin denoting res oluteness of purpose and directness of action. He is about the medium height, withjbroad shoulders and bis manner is easy and pleasant. He has nothing of the appearance ot the hornyhanded son of toil about him, but looks rather like a studious and thoughtful man. He speaks clearly and distinctly but slowly,as if he was weighing the effect of every word he uttered, and there is that about him which carries conviction in his sincerity and honesty of purpose. Senator Rlddleherger Explains. Washington, D. C.. May 3.—In the senate to-day Mr. Riddleberger rose to a personal explanation. He read a paragraph from a Washing ton newspaper, stating that Senator Ingalls had requested the Senator from Virginia to be present at meeting of the committee on the District of Columbia, in order to make a quorum for consideration of the Matthews case; that Mr. Riddleberger emphatically declined to attend, saying he would never help to put a colored man into of fice. Mr. Riddleberger said he cared for no part of this statement except the term “colored man.” He as serted that he had never heard, in committee or elsewhere, any refer ence to race or color as reason for or against the confirmation of Mr. Matthews, nor had he ever himself made such reference. miners in that section that the claim woule pan out better than any oth er in the country and would soon place the owner in possession of immense riches. Mr. Stegall has spent considerable money in pre paring to operate on an extensive scale, and will work the claim for all it is worth. He is now at home resting up and shaking hands with his numerous friends. A reporter met the lucky man Monday and had a pleasant chat with him as to his prospects, etc. He was all besi Je himself, and from the recesses ot every pocket that his clothes possessed he pulled out the glittering gold in the rough for a solid quarter of an hour. The scribe was bedazzled and his head tias not quit swimming yet. From an upper right hand vest pocket Mr. Stegall produced an innumer able number of two, three and four pennyweight pieces, while from a capacious pants pocket he hauled out a shot bag laden well with the precious stuff. While our bedaz zled eyes were gazing with wild astonishment at this display, a good big lump was produced from some where tiff his person. This lump -settled the scribe, which weighed thirty-two pennyweights, and was of a most beautiful oblong shape and about two inches in length. Mr. Stegall informed the- scribe that when this nugget was found the old miners ot that section came for miles around to see it, and all wetp wild with excitement. These old miners, who have wore ed claims in that section for years, say the evidences of an immense vein in the immediate locality of the “find” are nnumerable. They claim that thevein is not over thirty feet distant. Mr. Stegall has been working steadily in the direction of it for several weens, and the fact that the nuggets are found in larger sizes and oftener as the work progresses, bears out the as sertion fully, t It is* what is Called a “broken vein” by miners, and huge stratas of rock carry out the belief. If developments continue as they have in the past six weeks, Bartow county will claim as a citizen one of the wealthiest men in the South. Mr. Stegall is extremely gratified at the results, and went into the busi ness fully expecting to lose a con siderable amount of money before any paying results would be accom plished- As it is, he has been re warded with the handsomest of in comes, so much so that he is now preparing to drop his farming inter ests here and go back to the mines and give them his undivided atten tion. The mine hears the name of “Min nie,” named for the clever little daughter of Mr. Stegall. We, to gether with the people of the coun ty generally, extend to Mr. Stegall the heartiest congratulations. He has alwas proved a true and upright citizen—true to every friend, and very sociable, and this good luck befalling him is very giatil'ying to his old friends. He will probably leave the early part of next week, and his friends here are anxiously awaiting the results in the tutuve. Mr. Stegall himself informs us that it would be a hard matter to exag gerate in referring to the mine. THE WONDERFUL MOUNDS. Numerous Auden* Art-cles Washed Up By ' * She Late Freshet. CartersTiUe Courant. Since the Etewah has subsided its banks, from its late dev- _ flood, and inundation in this vicinity,much talk has been engaged in, and many exagerated reports spread as to the marvelous find in uacarthed graves, of mamoutb skel etons and iossils of the remote ages, and numerons were the reports also of the splendid and wonderful pro ducts of the mounds on the Tumlin farm, about two .miles from this city. To discover the truth of this report, a couple of Courant representatives yisited these mound's last Monday, and after a .charming ride in the fresh morning air, they reached the house of Mr. G. H." Tumlin, the owner of the land otr which the mounds are situated. Being told the nature of their visit, Mr. Tumlin courteously invited the embryo archaeological investigators into hia house, and submitted to their inspec tion many objects of antiquity, cure ous information, unique in design and strangely at variance with ob jects of to-day, apparently designed forsimilaruses. These, Mr. Tumlin stated, had been washed up by the waters and were picked up by him self and hands on his place. As yet but little excavations have been made into the mounds, but the surface finds were of sufficient im portance to indicate the valuable contents covered by these mounds, almost eternal in their silence for unnumbered years. A table in Mr. Tumlin’s parlor is literally packed? with his rare col lections. found at the base of his mounds. The first relic to attract attention is a pottery water bottle, with heavy and bulging base sur mounted by a graceful and slender stem-like neck. Around this vessel are quaint and singuarly original lines of adornment. The dark and green coloring of these eirbelish- ments are wonderfully preserved, evidencing an art lost to this centu ry for the preservation of dye or paint. There are cooking utensils of pottery, and bowls systematically fashioned, each having around it a a schroll or fret-work. There are also in the collection stone and flint implements of various callings, for peace and war; stone and earthen tobacco pipes. Perhaps these pipes, which bore evidence of use, had, in the dead, unknown past, lulled into quietude and passivenrss the nerves of the creature, a portion ot whose bodies lie hardby. Small, well-pre served images of the deities and fragmentary portions ot larger clay gods were displayed. A singular set of teeth were displayed, the jaw bones of which were petrified by the process of time and the elements to which it had been subjected. The teeth were as sharp as daggers and double rowed, not enveloping or overlapping or overhanging, but the outer row was somewhat higher ihan the inner. The teeth had evi dently belonged to some flesh-eat ing animal, extinct now. Mr. Turn;- geniouses in their Way.

Mr Tumlin informed the reporter that in early fall he intended to com mence his researches and explor ations. He is convinced in his own mind that the mounds are hollow inside, or are walled up in passage ways or catacombs. Hehasreceiv ed numerous inquiries and goffers from archaeoloeist and other delv- ers after the my sterious in reference to these mounds, and it is by no means improbable that in the near future unheard of wonders will compensate him for this exploration and attest the wisdom, of his action in this regard- ' Williaai Hawk, superintendent of the Viter stations, Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, was killed by train.

John B. Gordon in his oration there to the imprisonment ot Mr. Davis at Fortress Monroe in 1865, revives some incidents rarely now men tioned, but nevertheless of rare his torical interest, and belonging to both the period and the subject they may be truthfully related. An eye Witness, engaged there in the ordinance department of the fortress, now a resident and attach ed to the police department of Bal timore, says that when Mr. Davis landed from the gun-boat on the government wharf, the guard that received him kept back the lookers- on to a considerable distance while they conducted the prisoner to the interior of the fortification and to the casement assigned for his in carceration. Soon after he was lodged there the officer of the day called and advised him that* orders had been received from Washington to plsce him in irons, and asked him to submit by lying prostrate on the cot then within the casemate. Mr. Davis, with some vehemence objected, snd asked that the order should be resd to him. This was done, and he still refused, and declared that the man acle ahonld only be placed on- him by force. The blacksmith was then present with the leg-irons, atid a soldier,* being so ordered, placed hi* musket across the breast of the prisoner, pressed him to and then dOWn.onjbe cot. While held; in -that potition the smith riveted the iron* On the ankles, _ and the pris oner, thus secured, was locked in the casemate. A day or so follow ing orders came from Washington to remove the manacles, and soon afterward to open the door, and fi nally to allow Mr. Davis to exer cise himself by limited walk* with in the grounds. The order to iron was issued, it was said, by Secre- tary Stanton, and the preparations to do so were all made prior to the arrival]of the gunboat. President Johnson issued the ameliorating orders that followed^ '* the entire committee will vote !W».: * ' ; •' ./ York Times states that of enthusiasm”in i the fa appearance of jMr. w tin had strung together a number of pearl seed he had found, the enamel of which had nearly worn off, still upon some was the bright gloss of the mother of pearl. These were doubtless used, as in the pre sent day, to adorn the necks and breasts’of the belles who sported their beauty and charms in pre-hio- toric times. Large, flat, smooth baking rocks, on which the original inhabitants of this country baked their hoecakes or ashrakes, were pointed out and examined. The pestles and morters used by the great medicine men, showed that remedies were compounded to offset the ills that human flesh is heir to. A small piece of beautiful filigee worked copper of paper thinness, was found near a skull in one of the washed out giaves. There were numerous copper instruments, such as an axe u cross-shaped dagger or knife and an oblong piece of copper about five inches long, perfectly made in exact proportions. Besides these mentioned, there were a con siderable number of small circular pieces of stone and earthenware mouldered or cut, used perhaps as a medium of exchange or money, or for games of some sort. The collec- lection of antiquities, of which the above is only an imperfect descrip tion, was an exceedingly interesting one. A drive to the mounds which is barely a quarter of a mile from the house well rep»id4he visit. At the base of the hillocks the rushing waters had deeply scarred the earth in many places, and several peifect- ly defined graves were visible. These were not so long, hut about the width ol an ordinary giave, on each inner side of them were large, flat pieces of stone, by which they were walled up. Alter much time was spent at the bottom ol the mounds, where quantities ol broken antique pottery and bones were seen, a visit to the top of the highest mound was proposed, and attei some exertion—sufficient exertion at least toadd additional motneutum to the hearts action and to cause one of the party of Falistaffean propor tion to blow like a porpoise—the mound was scaled, and one of the loveliest views imaginable was pre sented to the spectators. The mound rises obout 70 feet from its base and cover* an area of about 3 acre* of ground, whilo- it measures nearly an acre on top. From this elevated position, as far as the eye can reach, the rich and inviting plain is seen *11 around, through which flows the Etowah between its green-fringed branches. Mr. Tumlin stated that he had made a bale of cotton on top of this mound and expected to do so again. The other mound* were not so large—perhaps by half]—as this one but beyond doubt in the bowels ot each of them are rare and magnifi cent relics of ancient time* that only awaits the developing process of S nergetie exploration to present to le ordinary, gaze the varied won ders of the"past. Doubtless there are works of art and rare genius buried beneath these massive piles of earth that would awake the ad miration of all lovers of the antiquity and perhaps furnish a link to the broken chain of history and show us who those mysterious dwellers of the land, in bygone days were— whether they were identified with the Indians as known in history, whether contemporraries with the Aztects of New Mexico, and Arizo- na,the cliffdwellers or whether they ;e of a race, utterly. unto, them- ikrid of which not:|,pj(kadow „ remains. Th Ha was called to preach in the little stone church at Bayside, and she sans? in the choir. That was the beginning of It A* to how it would end, people had various opinions, although as one point they all agreed. He was sura to fall in love with her. It so long been the fashion for everybody to adore the beautiful Mi» Sturtevant, that it was generally accepted as a fact that no masculine heart could re sist her fascinations. For ten years nearly all the marriageable young men of Bayside had in turn laid their hearts at her feet, had gone through a brief season of mad despair as she refused t.h^m t at id then married else where, and learned as tho years went by to look into her lovely eyvrs with indifference. All bnt ona There wee one dark spot in Violat Sturtevant’s life of which she did not lov* to think. 8ydnrey Kent had seemed to her only a boy, plsaeant to have for & devoted slavey and although she knew he was madly in love with her, she kept him at her side for months, imd when at last she could no longer keep back the declaration of his feelings, die made light of his love, called it a boyish passi on, and when he vowe l to end his life, sh i only laughed and gave him a year to for get her. But the bov was insane with grit if, and within an hour from the time he let t her side died by his own Hand. This was more of a shock to her than she cared to ovtit She had been cruel and unfeeling, ftut all through thoughtlessness. Her pride, however, was great, and she t»ve no si;pi of sorrow or repentance. *Hra widowed mother carried her broken hea.rt away from Haysi’rte, and the sad occummce became a thing* of the past. The shadow of it never left Violet *a lif«- Other suitors came, and it was strang e that the heart that drew all others tow u*d it never felt a thrill of love as the old \ old story was repeatedly whispered to her. She enjoyed her power over them. She c« >uld not live without trying to win every ht »rt thrown in her way, birt the sweet unsold of a true womans love was to her i in The year preceding the time of which f write had been a quiet one for Violet com pared with the excitement of her previous life. She had been left alone in the world with the exception of » maiden aunt who shared her homo. Possissed of an abun dance of means, and a beautiful country home, there were not many girls whose lives were so unfettered 1 and frea There had been a dearth of young men in the vil lage for some time, and just as life was be ginning to seem rather tiune and uninterest ing, the young minister came, and brought with him a ripple of eicdtement * * * * e * e The church-bells had asaaed ringing, and Miss Martha Sturtevant, in her best black silk, was pacing nervously up and down the long veranda, waiting feu* her niece. The old coach that had carried three generations of Sturtevants to and from divine service had been at the gate for ten minutes, and still Violet lingered in heir room. If there was any one thing that am liable spinster die- liked, it was being late for church; but there was something else on her mind that in creased her nervousness. “I wonder if she will wear her new dress? •And yet, what does it matter? She will »tm be the sama PerUaps if I should speak to her, warn her a little—I wonder if I remains, xnei :ain enough has twuiena ss country, to dMKMMtete that these * whoever they were, weie uaritA^UfAa* ’ * A I*.".* ’’ Just then she heard a light step, and turning, saw Violet in the doorway. It was not the new drew—but a creamy nun’s vailing, made very simply, with cascades of lace around the white throat, and instead of the new bonnet with its nod ding plumes, was a simple white straw with clouds of lace—no flowers, no ribbona; and yet, as Miss Martha looked, she wished she 4 had worn the new dreu. Her niece seemed to rearl her thought*, and laughed a little defiantly, as they seated themselves were driven rapidly into the village. “You are displeased, aunt, and there is something you wirh to say to ma Pray be quick about it James is driving fast” “Not displeased, Violet,” said Aunt Martha, gently; “but there is something I wished to say. It may do n<#ftood, but* I must speak. I pray you have some respect for this young man’s sa rrod calling, not try to gain his love, only to throw it awsy.” “You mean the minister, I suppose. Any one would think, to hear yon, I possessed an •evil eye’ What if he falls in 1o\*j?—I can’t help it* His sacred calling will help him bear his disappointment, if It is* to be that. Aunt Martha,” she cried, j passionately “have I no heart, I wonder? Perhaps my hero has come in the person of this Para gon." “Oh, my dear, 7 should be s o happy!” and the old lady’s voice trembled with emotion. “You are a dear old gorjse, auntie, might be wise to wait and se e him before we rave in this manner. If he has red hair and wears glasses, my simp’Icity is wasted. They reached the chun ih then, and Miss Martha went into the vride family pew, while her niece flitted up thdl narrow stairs to the gallery. It suited her to sing in,the choir. Itgave her something to do, and. some one to rule; for no one in the Tiling bad received aa good a musical education as herself. The music was indeect a credit to her, and many a chance visitor from the city turned fa surprise, as the j^orious old anthems rolled over their beefe More than one heart felt a little flutter of expectancy as a tall, slender man rose in the pulpit to ad- ‘Violet,” said her aunt, sternly, as she looked into her room to say gooi-night, “that young man is the son of the dearest fri* n i of my youth. I will have no trifling with his heart.” • ****♦• In the year following I think Violet Sturtevant received all the punishment she deserved. It was at once the happiest and most wretched year of her life. Happiest, because she bad at last learned to love, and hung with rapture on every word uttered by the one who had won her heart The most wretched, because although she tried every fascination in her power, he seemed perfectly indifferent to her. At times her heart would exult over eome little attention, only to grow cold as, perhaps the same day, she would see the same attention offered to some one else. She could not accuse him of being a flirt He was simply courteous to all alike He came often to see Aunt Martha, as his father’s friend, and Violet could not complain of lack of opportunity to win his regard. Feeling him hard to only made her the more anxious to succeed. She would see him sometimes looking at her aa one might at a beautiful picture, with pleasure and ad miration; but through it all a subtle cold ness chilled her heart He was aot en gaged; she learned in a thousand different ways that he was generous and warm hearted; but the year went by, and he was still cool and indifferent, paying more at tention to the village maidens than to herself; and, as she felt that her case was hopeless, she suffered more than even Aunt Martha, who watched her closely, imagined. Onoe she thought, “He thinks me too gay,” and forthwith donned a simpler at tire, and t>ang softer airs, only to see him studying her with an amused curiosity that nettled her. A dozen times she vowed to overcome this foolish infatuation, aqd avoid his presence; but U all ended the same way. After declining to come down and heip Aunt Martha entertain him, she would kneel at her window in the darkness just to hear his footsteps as he left the house, mur muring “Ralph!” “Ralph!” over and over. If he could only have heard the passion and despair in that faint cry! At last she felt that she could bear it no longer. She would go away until she could conquer herself, when something happened that seemed to reveal the cause of his in difference. At a party, one evening, soma one was speaking of an event which happened in the village twenty years before, when Mr. Arm strong remarked: “I remember it well. I was visiting my aunt, Mrs. Kent, at the time.” Violet heard no more : she thought they spoke of Sydney and hia unhappy fate, and imagined she saw a look of scorn on the face of the man she loved. How he must despise her, for his aunt had undoubtedly told him all about her before he cama He had been forewarned, and, alas! forearmed. She found heT aunt, and entreated her to leave, aa she was ill; and very ill she looked as she lay back in the carriage, saying over and over to herself: “His cousin, and killed him.” Her youthful folly seemed fated to mar her whole life. “You do look sick; I hope you are not 'joining down with the fever,” said Aunt Martha, anxiously. “We must go away at onca They say there are a dozen c town, and they fear an epidemic like the one here four years ago. We must leave to morrow, if possible.” Violet was passive that night, and let her aunt plan out their summer without any opposition, but as she lay and thought dur ing that long terrible night, the planned her life anew. In the morning she said: “You can go, Aunt Martha, but I shall certainly stay. We can be in no danger here. Our spring water is so pure—not like that which sup plies the village—and they will need all the help they can get to care for the sick. So many who are able will leave the poor and sick to their fata I shall invite a number of those who are unable to leave to come out here and stay until the danger is over. There are many I could name now whom it would benefit, even if they were not threat ened with the fever. Oh, Aunt Martha, dc you tliirk if I oouJUL. save a Ufa it would atone for the past?” 0 In that bitter cry her aunt read the story jot that poor suffering heart “We will both stay,” she said gently. “I w.\ 8 only thinking of you when I urged goin g. My life is soon over. It does not mat^’r.” The old mansion was large and surrounded by a fk rm teeming with plenty. The old rooms, unused so long, were opened and aired, aai soon in every one were one or mo*p cxcV pants. There were delicate children, poor, tired schoolteachers, aanri sevdral *Kd ladies, into whose pinched and sorrowful lives this visit came as a heavenly visioiy The village was in deed plagu»-rtri*; kea - Many who were able fled, hut amojX? those who remained the death-rate ran hSgfv Doctors came from other places, and Ralph Armstrong stayed and nursed and cotnfarted ah in his power. His face flushed as he -learned of Miss Stur tevant’s guests, her «tcint taking care that ha should know to whont the credit was due. He soon heard of her in other ways, and met her more than onoe beside the dying. She was pale, quiet-ana-courageous, but iver more beatftifuL ’Fhere was one young girl who, in days past, stie had believed had won the heart she would iWe died to possess. She had hated her for har simple beauty then, and now when she heard sh 6 ' was very low with the fever, with no regular nurse to attend her, a fierce struggle took place in her soul, which ended in hdk going;to her bedside, prepared to stay and battle for the life in the poor fever-racked frame. Per days she watched beside her, takftjg bnt lit tle rest herself. Ralph had been in with the doctor, and pressed her hand gratefully as he found her them There seemed no hope, and the doctor said, one day: “I can do no morn If she lives she will owe her li£e to you, Miss Sturtevant” All that night she sat by the bed, gave nourishment and medicine, bathed the fevered brow and prayed for life, and as the day dawned she knew her prayer was granted. Some one came in to relieve her, and she slipped out into the fresh air. She went through the garden to avoid meeting the doctor and Ralph, who, she knew, were coming at that hour. Very pale and worn she looked, as she leaned against a rustic seat; but there was on exultant look in the face lifted toward heaven. At hut she saw Ralph come from the house, looking around as if. seeking her, and as he drew near, she cried: * “I have saved a life. I have mads atonement Go to her. { saved her for you. ” “No, no! did you not know?—she loves and is to marry hsr cousin. My place is here, if you will let me stay. Here at your feet to ask forgiveness for my doubt of you. To think I could have doubted such a noble heart! I feel that I am unworthy to ask you to love ma” “And yon know the past?” “All; this week has blotted out the past forever.” She turned to him with a look that told him, more than words could do, of the fiery furnace through which her soul had passed, and stretching out his arms, he lifted her away from it all—to his heart.—Ida Row land in Frank Leslie’s.

St. Louis, May 4.—The Knights of L.abor have generally obeyed the execu ive order to return to work, and many applied to the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain head quarters for their former positions th’s morning. Those who partici- pr .ed in ac s of violence against the railroad company were informed that their services were not needed. Others were told that their posi tions were already occupied, while o.hers and a larger proportion of them were re-employed. The chiefs of departments have been in structed to employ only efficient men when needed, and thus no gen eral re-employment of the strikers In a body will occur, and the filling of vacancies will be gradual and will occupy some time. In addition to the {circular issued last night by the general executive board of the Knights o! Labor, or dering the members of district as semblies 17, 93 and 101 to apply to the railroad companies for positions vaca.ed by them when the strike fcras commenced, an order Wes sent to the master workman of each assembly informing them that the strike had been declared off, and ordering them to notify all their men'to make appli cation for work to-day. Martin Irons, by whom the Gould southwestern railroad system strike was ordered, when asked what ef feet he anticipated the method of ending trouble would have upon the Knights of Labor, said: “We were fighting for recogni- io , and we got it from congress, which represents all the citizens of the United States. Is that not com- n’ete enough recognition? Our or der will grow after this, even more rapidly than it has durig the past few weeks, when applications have b^en so numerous for charters that we could scarcely find tima to con sider them.

She had a solos in the einting and many turned to look as her mellow voice floated upward. It seemed to have a new tone, that touched the heart like a prayer tor forgiwenw.

About fifty prominent brokers, capitalists, lawyers and merchants sat before two neat-looking instru ments, resembling type-writers with telegraphic attachments, in an office at No. 327 Walnut street. The two instruments were placed beside each other. A wire led from one to the city of Reading, sixty miles away, and, returning, ended at the other, a few feet off. A bright lad stepped up to the in vention, pressed the lettered keys just the same as in .operating a type writer, the electric current flashed instantaneously 120 miles and print ed in plain, bold letters upon a sheet of papec on the adjoing ma chine a message. The same letters were recorded upon an endless rqll in front of the sender as were print ed upon the receiver, so that a mis take made could readily be correct ed. The apparatus is the invention ofMr.J. H. Linville, for a number of years President of the Keystone bridge company, and it is believed that it will prove a decided revival to the telephone on account ot its simplicity, and the fact that one who can read can operate it. Mes sages can be sent or received on the same instrument by merely turning a switch. Unlike a tele phone, if the receiver happens to be absent when “called up,” the message is not lost, but it automati cally records itself, even though it should be 1,000 words in length. It is impossible to read by sound or tap the wires over which a message from this invention is sent. At the Associated press office the opera tors receive all the messages upon type-writers. They find it beats handwriting both for speed and legibility. With one of Mr. Lin- ville’s machines the type- writer would be dispensed with and much time saved. The apparatus is the property of the International Print ing Telegraph company, which proposes to establish a central of fice or exchange, and have subscrib ers after the mauner of the tele phone companies. The repon that Secretary Man ning is to resign, is pronounced un true by the President. .C The hostile Indians had another bloody engagament with the troops out in Arizona.
