Immediately after the journal had been

Colonel Thompson took up the alleged
breach of promise, and asked if it were
not remarkable that a man who had
been living in adultery with a woman
for nine years with the distinct under
standing, so she said, that he would
marry her if he were ever free, should

Major Butterworth, whose mild man

colleague, began his remarks by ex
pressing gratification that this pestilence
must soon be brought to an end. But
the contagion would not disappear from
the hearthstones of the country for 100
years.

European papers so far as possible had
disinfected it. There was no wrong to
be righted by this suit. Even to save
the lives of the two nominal principals,
the incorruptible judiciary of the coun
try could not afford to deal with such a
mass of contagion, nor should the hearth
stones of the country have been invaded
by it for any purpose. He knew Miss
Pollard, and of her he would not use
harsh language, but be would that some
patches. Mr. Grosvenor said that under
the statutes and decisions of the su
preme caurt of the United States tele
graph dispatches were subject to the
interstate commerce law, and that
states had no authority to interfere with
them.
lie held that the following section of
the revised statutes made telegraphic

One evening as the sun went down
Among the golden hills.
And silent shadows, sof: and brown.
Crept over vr.ioe and rills.
I watched the dusky bats a-wing
Dip down tho dusky lea.
Hearkening, heard a maiden sing,
“Aral you’ll remember me.”
"When other Ups and oriierliearts"
Came drifting through the trees,
"In language whose excess imparts” • .
Was l- me upon the breeze.
Ah, love s sweet, and hope is strong.
And li ’s a summer sea!
A woman's soul is in iier song,
“And you’ll remember me.”
Still rippling from the throbbing throat,
With joy akin to pain.
There seemed a tear iu every note,
A sob in every strain.
Soft as the twilight shadows creep
Across the listless lea.
The singer sang her love to sleep
With, "You’ll remember me.”

AUNT HERISSON.
Two young men, mounted on valuable
steeds, burst into laughter as they left
the Vichy road to take the one through
the forest.
They certainly lacked generosity, but
Cyrilie, the maid of Mile, de Saint-
Juirs, made an odd figure, mounted on
the stiff old mare Leda, riding behind
her mistress. Her silhonette was that of
a warlike woman.
The young men rode past her into the
forest, laughing and joking.
Mile, de Saint-Juirs overheard their
silly banter. She turned her horse
around and waited. She was handsome.
The ride, the brisk air and also the in
dignation had beautified her complexion
and given brilliancy to her blue eyes.

ploits along the shore of Long Island
sound last year terrified so many farm
ers and owners of small craft, is in
Northport jail, lie was arrested at
Comack, L. I., and taken to Northport
for safe keeping. Word was sent to the

a very desperate man, a strong guard
was placed over him. *
The black pirate sloop was reported
to have been seen along the Now Jersey

by Shrewsbury river oystermen. She
succeeded, however, in escaping in tho
darkness. A watch lias been kept for
her and for her skipper at all Long

A 4 ?*® in courri leaving The youBg men approached her a lit
tle abashed. One of them opened his
month, but liad not time to speak before
a young man rode up behind them and
gave their horses two vigorous cuts with
a whip. Beiug fine animals, they tort:
down tho road on a gallop, resisting the
efforts of their chagrined riders to stop
them.
“Now, cousin, ” said the yonng man,
saluting her, “let ns return. ” And tho
ride back tq the chateau was a happy
one, for George do Seruay and his cous
in Mile, de Saint-Juirs wero engaged,
and neither doubted that the little inci
dent was ended, not knowing how much
sadness it would cause them.
The parents of the yonng cousin lived
in a veritable chateau, but like Cyrilie
and Leda it had seen better days. The
gardens were dilapidated, but the in
terior of the castle was still very beau
tiful. Mine, de Saint-Juirs had died
when her daughter Marcolle was 3 years
old. Her sister Herissou had cared for
the child as though she had been her
own. Mile Herissou had never cared to
marry. She was very pious. She was
continually in a discussion with M. de
Saint-Juirs because years before he
fought a duel in the garden behind the
chateau, and she looked upon him as a
criminal.
When Marcelle was 20, her aunt tried
to induce her not to marry, bnt all in
fluence was useless. Marcelle, after
overcoming Aunt Herisson’s numerous
objections, was affianced to her cousin,
George de Sernay, an amiable and brave
young gentleman.
The day after the ride George was
seated at a table in the Casino of Vichy
when two yonng men approached him.
“Pardon, but were you uot yesterday
on horseback in tho foroct?”
“I was, monsieur.”
“We were also, my friend and L”
“That does not interest me. ”
“But it interests us. ”
“Well, you two converse about it
and leave me in peace. ”
“If I am not mistaken, you were the
protector of the stout servant”'
“Whom yon insulted. You were the
impertinent person who”
“I do not receive personal lessons,
monsieur. ”
“It is a pity, ” said George, “for you
need them.”
“Yon are an insolent person. ”
George raised his arm, but controlled
himself and said between his teeth:
“Consider yourself challenged, mon
sieur.”
Cards were exchanged, the seconds
conferred, swords were chosen and the
encounter to be the next day. George
demanded that it should not be made
public. He spent the night in writing
to his parents and his fiancee.
It was his first duel, and he was a
little afraid. The next morning at the
rendezvous he found the places marked
off and the referee holding the swords
by the points. He presented them to the
about $14,000 yet to be paid. The total
amount paid by the bondsmen up to
date on the shortage is over $90,000.

to George, “Go immediately, never to
return!”
M. de Saint-Jairs took np the paper
and read aloud the pr.rag: aph of yester
day’s duel and of George receiving a
wound.
Profound silence followed.
Aunt' Herissou watched George and
said at last angrily:
“Do you deny it, monsieur?”
“No, madamo. ”
“Then I have told you what to da ’”
Marcelle commenced to sob.
“Marcelle, go to your room!”
“It is uot possible,” said George in a
voice that was choked by tears.
“Go!”
Marcelle went to her lover’s side, and
with a tranquil courage said in a hollow
voice:
“George, we must say goodby. I love
you and will never lovo any one but you.
Embrace me.”
The aunt was surprised at this audac
ity—to see an assassin embrace her
niece before her eyes.
Marcelle threw a last look at her lover
and reached the door as her father’s
voice said:
“Stay, Marcellel” The aunt turned
to her brother-in-law.
“I swear to you this man shall not
marry my niece. ”
“I would let you know this house is
mine, uot yours. ”
“Very well, ” said the aunt; “it isfor
me to leave.” '
Then he said to George: “Be a good
fellow. Go now and return tomorrow,
and I will arrange everything. ”
George was about to leave when Mar
cello reopened the scene and raised her
voice to defrud him.
“If he had killed the other man, 1
could understand, but wl:en be is the
wounded one and yon call him an assas
sin it is very hard!”
“I have sworn,” repeated the aunt,
“and I will never consent to this mar
riage. ”
M. de Saint-Jniis, knowing her ob
stinacy, then raid: “Very welL You
will uot stay here. ”
“So lot it i". ”
But now Marcelle spoke: “If, m:
aunt, you will stay. J will not mam
without your consent. You re; lace my
mother and have given me all the lar I
attentions of a mother. Though I wi 7
never cease to love George, I will not
disobey you. ’ ’
“But it is all wrong,’ said M. de
Saint-Juirs.
“No, papa, it is my duty. ” And tho
young girl broke down and hastened to
her room, where she gave away to tears.
George went to Paris.
Marcello little by little lost her color,
her animation, her life. She was failing
rapidly, and it worried Aunt llerisson
She confided in the good old cure, and
the result was that Marcelle was sur

ter from George. They wore now to be
allowed to correspond under cover of M.

The letters came with perfect regu

Fast Enough.
An employee of a large granite company
was driving from the station with several
kegs of blasting powder and dynamite car
tridges in his load and overtook a yonng
man walking. Without waiting for an in
vitation the pedestrian sprang up into the
wagon and sat down upon one of the pow
der kegs.
He was a talkative young man and be
gan at once to make derogatory remarks
about tbe speed of the wAgon or the lack
of it.
“We’re passing everything on the road.”
he said cheerily—“that is, everything that
is stationary.”
Not receiving a reply, he continued, “1
was half a mind to hire a landslide or a
glacier just for speed, you know, but 1
guess we are doing about as well.”
He was silent for some time; then h*
broke forth again:
“I say—stop the horse! The earth is re
volving fast enough to get us there.”
Just then he prepared to scratch a match
on the keg. The driver spoke rather lazily:
“If you are goin my way, this is jest as
fast as it will be, but if you want to go
straight up at right angles to the road jest
light that match on that powder—an you’re
there now.”

The cablegrams announce that Colo
nel Cody, who will bo remembered in
London, has been returned as mayor of
Nebraska. No better selection could
have been made. Colonel Cody was the
friend of a man named Boone, who dis
covered Kentucky in 1869. After marry
ing the granddaughter of a distinguished
gentleman known as Sitting Bullfrog
Cody was twice governor of Chicago
and at one time was mayor of the Ar
kansas legislature. He also served in the
Confederate army under Ben Butler,
who so gallantly defended New Orleans
against General Longstreet The prov

military services by sending him to con

Some Essentials to Newspaper Success.
“I have come to New York to start a
daily paper,” sai -a editor from the interi
or to an experie:.. :d friend in the metrop
olis, “and I want your advice. What ma
terial will I need?”
“Well, iu the first place,” said his friend,
“you must buy or hire a steamboat.” .
“Good gracious! exclaimed the editor.
“What use will I have for a steamboat?”
“To give fresh air excursions, of course.
No New York newspaper of any account at
all is without a fresh air excursion. They
don’t care a snap of the finger about the
people who are benefited, but it has come
to be an advertising necessity.”
“But I thought that abilitydu theeditori
al department would”
“All nonsense, I tell you. The ability
you want is the ability to puff yourself.
Then you must help boom some monument
fuEd that is languishing and aid in swell
ing foreign election funds—anything that
will keep you t ’iced about.”
“But couldi an able writer”
“Able writer! The ablest writer you em
ploy must be tlje one who can write the
ablest certificates with regard to your enor
mous and increasing circulation to
be sworn to 1 ■ j.a able notary. There’s
where ability chines in. If you want to
succeed with a newspaper in New York,
just follow my advice, that’s all.”—Texas

The man who is banging to a strap in a
cable car often bears conversations which
are worth repeating.
-“Don’t, you hate to have to ask your hus
band for money to buy your dresses and
hats with?” said a matron in dark green to
one in seal brown.
“I never do,” was tbe reply.
"Don’t you? Does hegive it to you with
out askiug?”
The matron in seal shook her head.
“Have you a regular allowance, or does he
pay you a weekly salary, as some women
maintain is the correct thing?”
“Neither.”’
“Then you must have private means of
your own to draw on, but every woman is
not so well situated as that.”
“Wrong again. * have no fortune of my
own, and my husband pays for ever} thing
I use.”
"Then how do you manage it if you never
ask him for money and lie never gives you
any without asking?’’
“Oh, I simply order wbat I want and have
the tliines charged.”—Pittsburg Chronicle

George nearly laughed.
“Halt,” said the referee. They took
the first position again. Throe times
they went through the little farce until
George lost patience and resolved to
finish it
He threw himself on his adversary,
whose sword’s point cut deep into lii:;
hand. For a few minutes it was a fist
fight; then some ono separated the com
batants. Although Georgo was blooding
badly, he wished to continue, bnt his

and all the rest except George gave a

In the evening two days later the
family were assembled in the salon of

Marcelle put the sugar in bis tea,
stirred it, and I believe had her aunt’s
back been turned she would have tasted
it for him, the rogue! _
Suddenly as Aunt Herisson read she
became very pale and trembled with
emotion. She held the paper close to her
