ARCHITECT T7E.E.
The person addressed stood at
the window, half bid by the dark,
flowing curtains, sobbing audibly.
’Twas a slight girlish figure, soft
golden ringlets fell in rich profu.
sion to her slender waist; awl the
tiny bands, like snow-flakes, were
clasped convulsively before her
fair face, while the tears fell thick
and fast. No answer cable; only
tbo sobs grew louder nnd more
hysterical.
“Weil, I’ve either to stay hero
and listen to the rain and storm all
the morning, or go and see pretty
Maude Melton, look into her be
witching black eyes and learn my
fate. Which must I do Nell?”
And Harry Mordaunt threw his
nut-brown curls from bis high,
Veiiow fr.fr .m.iir.iM white brow, and then leant back la
zily In tbo large arm-chair.
“Don’t care what becomes of mei
Umpli? Ob, 1 know what’s the
matter! Qeorgo hasn't been here
for two days; ho is u scamo to
cause your dear heart so much pain.
Why, my darling cousin, I'll go
this minute and find the tiuant;
lie’ll come back here in a hurry,
i’ll vouch for it Then what will
become of me? Oh, I’ll drop in an
hour or two at my own Maude’s.
Hasn’t she the rosiest cheeks and
blackest eyes yon over gazed upon?’
No answer.
“Nellie, I say?” And thero was
a merry twinkle in his half-closed
eyes,ns the pettish reply. “What
do you wnnt?” came from the pout
ing red lips.
“Come here.”
' “I shall not.”
"Oh. yes, yon will. Ccme, Nel
lie.”
“No, I won’t.”
“I have something to tell you.
Come along.” And the cruel
young gentleman turned his hand
some face toward her and held out
both hands invitingly.
Nellie-raised her tearful blue eyes
for a moment to his countenance,
but the long lashes Instantly swept
the flushed cheeks,and, though tak
ing ono step forward, said pout-
ingly:
“I’m not coming near you, you
liatelal thing, after what you have
said just now.”
“What I said just now! What
did I say?”
“You know very well how cross
I yon were to me; and then you said
this was a dullold house and every-
1 body stupid in it; and,and ”
I The other little loot sipped can
I tioiuly up to its mate.
“Did I say that? It must have
been when I was at the window
and you wouldn't kiss me. Sure
enough I remember now. But
come, Nellie, sit beside me and tell
me about it. My memory is not
very good.”
Here he drew up a low-eushion-
Scraps,
Fapotsries,
Autographs
ing pillow. “Henry, I am sorry I
was so cross and so bad-tempered.
Can you forgivo me ?”
Tho blue eyes were raised en-
treatingly, bnt he evaded them,
and kept his gazing into tho Ure.
“I will if you’ll kiss me 1”
“No, no, Harry, I cannot.”
“Not whon I tell you that I am
going far away to-morrow, and
may never see you again ?”
“Oh,tis not sol I should be so
lonely witbont you; do not leave
me 1”
“Yes I must. Will von kiss
me ?’’
The little form trembled, but it
slowly arose, and, looking sadly at
the averted face of her exacting
cousin, answered:
“I ennnot comply with your re
quest, Harry; but will nothing
change yonr purpose of leaving us
so soon?”
Her voice quivered; though she
tried to speak so calmly. The
hard hearted wretch 1 how serenely
ho appeared.
“Nothing—nothing but a sweet
kiss from proud little Nell, nnd a
promiso from her that she shall
some day soon be my own precious
wife."
“No, no. Am I dreaming ?
Look at me, Henry.”
Ho did gaze now into the lovely,
loving face, and the little maiden
saw enough to satisfy the great
yearning In her unquiet heart, for
with a glad cry she thrfiw her fair
arms around his neck, nnd Henry
was saved from the tedium of his
threatened journey (if the good-
for-nothing fellow had proicctcd
any.)

They Nerer Saw a Colored Man.
Most of tho Jewish refugees now
in this city never saw n colored
main until they landed in this
country, says the Philadelphia
Record, and when two of the dus
ky gentlemen stepped In yesterday
to take a look they created consid
erable excitement.”
“What’s the matter with thoso
men ?” asked one of the refugees
of a committeeman
“Nothing,” was tho answer.
“Ain’t they sick ?” was asked.
“No,” the committeeman an-
wrered.
“Well, what makes them so
black ?” the inquiry came.
“They are negroes,” replied the
committeeman.
The forcigncer shook his head
and proceeded to examine the col-
ored men closer. A crowd soon
gathered around and enjoyed the
sight immensely. Some of them
shook bands with tho Africans, but
the most refused, and shrunk when
tho dusky hands were nflered them.
The children, anil some of the
women, ran in alarm when the
colored men approached them.
The youngsters clung in terror to
tho skiits of their mothers, while
the adult females were not so cer
tain but that tho darkies wore sent
into the room to scare them or to
cat them up. The young colored
men enjoyed the sport themselves,
and tried to talk gibberish to the
oxiles.
Georgia’s Prosperity.
Treasurer Speer.
The publics debt of Georgia Is
$6,726,000. This is in bonds fall
ing due in installments from 1882
to 1889. This is a valid debt and
will be paid. Certain conds issued
under a former administration bnvo
beon declared null and void, and
under the Constitution nnd a legis
lative enactment I, ns Trcarnrer of
the State, am prohibited from pay
ing part of the same. They arc
dead nnd worthless, and will not
come up any more. With all dun
respect to the illeision of voiir Yt-vi
York ollieials in relation to your
savings banks investing in Geor
gia bonds, I want to say that snob
» decision cannot nilect our State's
credit, nnd our long seven per con'-.
Bond'- arc hard to find at 125.
Georgia has no bonds for sale.
Those which she has issued nro
mostly held at homo by our own
citizens, who are anxious to buy
all that can bo found for sale. I
believe that Georgia is the only
State in the Union that has been
able to float a four per cent, short
date bond at par. Georgia has
flouted sevoral hundreds of thous
ands of these, and somo of them
were taken in New York. Georgia
ha9 publlo property in the shape
of railroads, railroad stock, tele
graph stock, iy;al estate and other
things sufficient to pay all she owes.
Her bonds are In the bands of her
(riends, though, and cannot bo
paid until they are due. All the
public property oi the State is
pledged by a constitutional enact
ment (wbicli constitution was rati
fied by a vote of the people) to bo
used and disposed of only for the
payment of her debt.

Of the army of wino bibbers who
cast their substance into this pool
32,391 were committed to the
Tombs. '
The amount expended In public
amusements of all sorts amounted
to $7,000,000.
In the police station 120,084
imrsons asked fo* and were furnish

In the police stations 67.135

Crimes of violence were com

A Washington dispatch to tho
