There was a large party at the Cha¬ teau de Kerdall, near Vannes. The Marquis do Kerdall and his young wife had just returned from a tour of the world on their yacht, dur¬ ing which they had paid flying visits to Africa, America and Oceanica, and they had celebrated their home-com¬ ing by gathering together all their friends and relatives at their beautiful country house. Among the guests was old Dr. Cor nabuc, an illustrious member of the Academy of Metaphysical Sciences, so original, so absent-minded, so ven¬ erable in his blonde peruke and his costume of the fashion of 1850. Then there wks Mme. de Lartigues, an old school friend of the Marquise, a brilliant and coquettish Parisienne. And there was Miss Hawthorne, an English maiden lady with youthful propensities. And there were many others, all of whom found plenty of amusement to their heart’s content at Kerdall. Outside of the ordinary pleasures of life, there were some unusual at¬ tractions. In the first place the host and hostess had seen and experienced so much that was novel and startling that their conversation was always fascinating. Then the rooms of the castle constituted a veritable museum, being stocked with rare and curious objects from two continents, And, finally, a menagerie had been created in one corner of the park and stocked with the various animals which M. do Kerdall had picked up during the voyage and brought back to France for purposes of acclimatization. There were gazelles, antelopes, Thibet goats, Nile ibises, rose flamingoes, opossums, beavers and an Asiatic ape of the mandrill species, as mild as a lamb, but as mischievous as all his kind. An iron-lattice cage had been built for him close to the conservatory. As will be seen, the Chateau de Ker¬ dall was a veritable Eden, but this fact did not prevent little Mme. de Lar¬ tigues from dreading the isolated posi¬ tion of the place among the wide ex¬ panse of woods and fields. “I should be afraid to live here all the year round,” she said. “/ fraid of what, my dear?” asked the Marquise. “Oh, of robbers; they would fairly revel here. ” Robbers! In this mansion filled to the eaves with guests and servants! Everybody mocked at the young wo¬ man, and old Dr. Cornabuc told hor¬ rible stories about burglars and as¬ sassins until Mme. de Lartigues, ashamed of her chimerical fears, was the first to laugh, and when the re¬ tiring hour came, she mounted to her sleeping apartment on the second floor supplied with a goodly stock of heroism. Within a short time all the occupants of the chateau were in the land of dreams. How long Mme. de Lartigues slept she knew not She was awakened by a rattling at her window, which she had left half opened on account of the heat. That was her terror when, in the tie starlight, she saw a form climb selessly through the window. She ti ii to scream, but her throat was parched with fright, and she could not utter a sound. THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IS THE 8UPHEME LAW. FORT GAINES, GA., FRIDAY. MARCH 2!>. 1895. The man had entered the chamber. Then the poor woman buried her head beneath the bedclothing. Half dead with fear, she could hear her noctur¬ nal visitor going and coming across the carpet with muffled steps. It seemed as though ho must have re¬ moved his shoes in order to tread softly. and Bathed with cold perspiration her teeth chattering she awaited tho mortal blow from the invader. But it did not come. After about a quarter of an hour she timidly peeped out. She could see and hear nothing. Slightly re¬ assured she recovered the use of her voice, and started a series of shrieks, so sharp, piercing, and terriblo that in an instant tho entiro chateau was turned topsy-turvy. Everybody rush¬ ed into her chamber with lights in their hands, M. and Mme. Kerdall at the head. “What is it? What’s tho matter?” they cried. She recounted her horrible vision. They would not believe her; she had been dreaming. Who could havo climbed into this chamber, so high above the ground, without a ladder? “Did you see him plainly?” asked the Marquis, with a touch of suspi¬ cion in his voice. * ‘As plainly as I see you; and it even seemed---” She hesitated. “What?” “It seemed as though I could re cognizo Dr. Cornabuc in his blonde wig and redingote..” Everybody laughed. What! Dr. Cornabuc! A man of his ago and character scaling windows at mid¬ night ! It was certain now that Mme. de Lartigues had been dreaming. They tried to dissipate her fear, and she was just about to persuade her¬ self that she had been the victim of an hallucination, when she hap¬ pened to cast her eyes upon the bur¬ eau, where she had left her jewels. They were gone! It had truly been a robber! The laughing suddenly ceased, and they looked at one another in con¬ sternation. All at once another cry was heard, a piercing shriek coming through the stillness of the night. It appeared to emanate from Miss Hawthorne’s chamber. There was a rush for her apartment, and the English lady was found standing in the middle of the room, with frightened eyes. “There! there !” she cried, pointing to the window. “A man! He escaped, but I recognized him. ” “Who was it?” “Dr. Cornabuc!” The doctor again! This time no¬ body laughed. Cornabuc was looked for among the persons who had been attracted by the excitement; but he was not there. He was the only occu¬ pant of the chateau who was missing. “Come let us go to the doctor’s room,” said the Marquis, knitting his brows. “He will doubtless solve the mystery for us.” All followed Kerdall—ths men carrying candles a weird procession. Upon the entrance of the crowd, the doctor hurriedly wrapped himself in the bedclothes, his wrinkled coun¬ tenance alone being visible over the top, and this convulsed by anger into a comical grimace. The candle-light was reflected from his bald pate, which shone like old ivory. “Is this some ill-timed joke?” he stormed. “What is going on? Is the chateau on fire? I heard a terrible outcry, and was just about to inquire into it.” “You must come and join us doc¬ tor,” said Kerdall. “And how shall I do it?” cried the doctor, furiously. “Some rascal has run off with my clothing, and in ex¬ change he has left me this,” and he savagely hurled a white object into the middle of the room. “My cloak!” murmured Miss Haw¬ thorne. “And this!” continued th^ doctor, wildly brandishing another article. “My hat!” cried Mme. 410 Lar¬ tigues. “This raillery passes all bounds,” howled the doctor, whoso shining head, with ouo final grimace, ducked beneath tho bed clothing, 'like tho clown going through a trap door in the marrionetto theatre. They know not what to think. Tho mystery was growing mori compli¬ cated. It certainly looked as though a robber had entered the chateau— perhaps a whole band of burglars and assassins. Mme. do Lartigues imagined a troop of brigands armed to tho teeth. Suddenly a strange sound was heard coming from tho ground floor. It was certainly tho piano in tho re¬ ception salon, but it was surely being played by goblin fingers, and so furiously that it seemed as though tho keys must bo broken. “This is too much!” cried tho Mar¬ quis, rushing toward tho staircase, with all the crowd, excepting Dr. Cornabuc, close behind him. They hastily penetrated tho salon. It was empty. Tho mysterious visitor was gone, but ho could not bo far away. The crash of china aifd glass announced his presence in the dining room. . Everybody rushed thither, and tho Marquis, who was in tho lead, dimly saw a form esc« : ng through tho win¬ dow into the g x don. “This time we’ve got him!” ho cried. The men seized guns and knives from a hunting rack in the veatiblile, and started across the garden and park in pursuit of the fugitive, while tho women barricaded themselves in tho salon and anxiously awaited tho result of the chase. It was about an hour later, in tho uncertain light which precedes the rising of the sun, that a servant dis¬ covered tho mysterious stranger en¬ sconced among the branches of a large oak. At his call tho Marquis and his guests hastened to the spot. “Come down !” commanded M. do Kerdall, but the bandit only settled himself deeper among tho foliage and made no response. “Come down, or I will shoot!” And, as there was still no reply, ho lifted his gun, and already hud his finger upon the trigger, when tho do¬ mestic hurriedly pulled his arm, ant! said: “Do not fire, monsieur. It is Dr. Cornabuc!” And sure enough, tho blonde wig and long redingote could now be seen among tho leaves. But at this moment the first ray of sunlight gleamed in from the east and the oak was illuminated. The Mar¬ quis suddenly broke into a fit of ex¬ plosive laughter, and, as his guests gazed up into the tree, they could not keep from following his example. “The ape!” Everything was explained, Tho animal had escaped from his cage the previous evening and had managed to effect an entrance into the chateau. Animated by his instinct of imitation, he had first attired himself in the doc¬ tor’s effects and then wandered over the house at his own free will. He was put back into his prison af¬ ter some little trouble, and at break¬ fast the party enjoyed a hearty laugh at the adventures of the night. But Dr. Cornabuc did not appear at the table. He left the chateau at an early hour, furious and without taking leave. Since this episode he has never set foot at Kerdall, and he has never lost a feeling of deep antipathy to Mme. de Lartigues and Miss Hawthorne. “How could they have mixed me up with a monkey?” he wants to know.— From the French in the Argonaut. Boors Made of Glass. I Two Boston iuvoutors havo scoured n patent for a process of making glass veneers which havo many peculiar properties, This invention relates primarily to tho production of orna¬ mental glass, which may bo eitkor K.uni semi trmiKimrcnt tiausparent or 01 onanuc opaque, and ami is is made to ropreseut highly-polished wood of any description. It is in¬ tended to be applicable for veneering wherever required, and particularly ... is adapted for vestibule and other doors, the exterior of the glass having the appearance of highly polished wood, while in tho interior of lho houso it will appear semi-transparent. In car¬ rying the invention into practice, a sheet of ground or plain glass is taken of any desirod size and clouded tho same on one sido with a liquid dye of the proper color to represent any desired wood which dye is applied by means of a sponge for delineating the grain of tho wood so as to appear upon the surface of tho glass. The shading is softened by means of a badger brush. Photographers’ varnish is then caused to ilow on the glass, and leaves the grain clear and fast without the necessity of using any gelatinous substance, which would render it lia¬ ble to crack and spoil tho effect. To complete ilio operation the glass is then slightly heated, and tho varied shades of dyes required for the partic¬ ular wood to be represented aro caused to How over it by means of a syringo. The glass is heated in order to prevent tho shadings from merging into each other. Tho whole is then made semi-transparent by upplying another coat of photographers’ var¬ nish, so as to prevent tho dyes from being effaced, while tho exterior sur¬ face presents tho appearance of a highly-polished solid wood finish.— Detroit Free Press. The Supply of New Books. The Publishers’ Circular lias been making up its census of new books for the year... The results are rather ap¬ palling. “Novels, tales and other fic¬ tion” account for 1,315 new books, not to mention 337 new editions of older stories and 2!)(> “juvenile works and tales.” Fancy that! Four new novels for every working day in tho year and one new novel every Sunday! Who writes them all, and who—but per¬ haps tho authors could help 11 s to answer that question--reads them? Next to the novels and tales come tho educational works, which aro increas¬ ing, and then sermons and theology. History, geography, art and travels are “firm,” as they say on tho Btock Exchange, but not advancing; belles lettres, social philosophy, law and economics going up steadily.

One of tho most conspicuous land¬ marks, or, rather, snowmarks, in the whole of the arctic regions is the red snowbanks discovered near Cape York, Greenland, by Captain John Boss in the year 1818. For miles and miles the hills are covered with snow that is as red as though it had been saturated with blood.

J., March 26, 1805.—(Special.) ~ 1om l>f our P™miuont citizens f f or «d so terribly from tobaoco tremens, has made known his frightful experience in be¬ half of humanity, the ladles here are making tobacoo-uslng husbands’ lives miserable with their entreaties to at once quit tobacco. The written statement of S. J. Gould is attracting wide-spread attention. When Interviewed to-night he said : “ 1 commenced using tobacco at thirteen; I am now forty nine; so, for thirty-six years I chewed, smoked, I snuffed and before rubbed 1 snuff. In t’ne morning chewed, used put my pants on, and for a long time 1 two ounces of chewing and eight ounces of smoking a day. Sometimes I had n ohew in both checks and a pipe In my mouth at once Ten years ago I quit drinking whiskey. I triod to stop to¬ bacco limn and again, but could not. My nerves craved nicotine and I fod them till my skin turned a tobupco-brown, cold sticky perspiration oozed from my skin, and trickled down my back at the least exer¬ tion or excitement. My nerve vigor and my life was being slowly sapped. I made up my mind that 1 had to quit tobacco or die. On suffered October 1 I stopped, of and for three days i the tortures the damned. On the third day I got so bad that my partner accused mo of being drunk. I said, ‘No, I have quit tobacco.’ ‘For God’s sake, man,’ be said, offering me bis tobacco box, ‘take a chew; you will go wild; - and I was wild. Tobacco was forced into me and I was taken homo dazed. I saw double and my memory was beyond control, but I I still knew how to ohow and smoke, wiiicli did all day, until toward night, when my system got tobacco* mrnked again. Tho next morning I looked and felt as t hough I had boon through a long spoil of sickness. could I gave up irt despair, as I thought that I not cure myself. Now. for suffering humanity. I’ll tell what saved my llle. Providence evidently answered my god a wife’s prayers and brought to her at¬ tention in our paper an article which read: ‘Don’t Tobacco bplt and Smoko Your Life Away!’ “What a sermon and warning in these wonls! Just what I was doing. It told about a guaranteed cure for tho tobacco Imbit, called No-To-Bae. I sent to Druggist Hosier for a box. Without a grain of faith I spit out my little tobacco cud, and put into my mouth a tablet upon which was stamped No-To-Bae. I know it sounds like a lie when I toll you that I took eight tablets tlie first day, seven the next, five the third day, and ail the nerve-creeping feeling, rest¬ lessness ami mental depression was gone. It was too good to be true. It seemed like a dream. That was a month ago. I used one box. It cost me one dollar, and it is worth a thousand. I gained ten pounds in weight and Inst all desire for tobacco the drat day. I sleep and eat well, and I I have toll. bean bene¬ fited in more ways than can No, the cure was people no exception in my case. I know of ton right here in Caldwell who have bought no No-To-Bae from Hosier, aud they have been cured. Now that I realize what No-To-Bae has done for me aud others, I know wliy it is that the makers of this wonderful remedy, the Sterling Bemedy Company, of New York and Chicago, say: ‘Wo don’t claim to cure every case. That’s Fraud’s talk, a lie, but wo do guarantee throe boxes to cure the to¬ bacco habit, and in case of failure wu are porfeetly willing to refund money.’ I would not give a public indorsement if I wore not certain of its reliability, i know it is backed by men worth a million. No-To-Bae lias been u Ood-send to me, and I iirmly believe it will cure any ease of tobacco using if faith¬ fully tried, and there are thousands of to¬ bacco slaves who ought to know how easy it is to get free. There’s happiness in No-To Bae I did forthe that prematurely they old old and men, who think when as the are that destroys worn out, vital¬ tobacco is thing their ity and manhood.” The public should of be warned, however, against the purchase any of the many imi¬ tations on the market, as the success of No To-Boc has brought forth a host of counter¬ feiters and imitators. The genuine No-To Bac is sold under a guarantee to cure, by all druggists, and every tablet has the word No To-Bac plainly stamped thereon, uud vou run no physical or financial risk in purchas¬ ing the genuine article.
