“FeytUer,” sai.l Mrs. Stcbbins,
bolding up n thick envelope, “liere’s
a letter for you. ’Taint from broth
er Will, nor Iron, Silo’s wife. Who’s
been n writin’ tew you, d’ye vou
think?”
Farmer Stehbins took oil' his
warn, cooil-skin cap, tied the ears
' together, and hung it up; then lie
felt in each pocket for his horn
spectacles.
“Thev'tc in the ltible whore you
lefl'cm lust night, pa," said his
daughter. Then she produced
them, and he fitted them over his
nose and held the letter out a good
arm's length before him.
“J-o-h-n -f-a c-o-b S-t-e-b-b-i-n-8,”
read the old farmer slowly ami.in a
loud voice. “That’s me for sure.
Now the question is, us yon say,
whose been an’ writ to me?”
“For mercy sake, do open it,”
said Mrs. Stcbbins. “1 shall fly if
you set there and linger it any
more 'thout knowin’ what it
means.”
“Ves, pa, do read it,” urged the
daughter. “Maybe it is an offer of
a school tor me.”
“Like enufl! like enull!” answered
her father. “Let’s see what tbo
post mark is. Why, it’s Bosting!
Bosting cz sure cz I’m a livin’
man."
“Call me if you happen to need
me,” said Mrs. Stehbins, with a fine
sarcasm. ‘ I’m goin out to set the
salt risin’ for the bread.”
“Gimme the stamp, pop,” said
John Jacob Stcbbins, jr. “They’re
don't nobody rile to us ouly Het
ty’s beau, and he don’t send eny-
thing but postal keer.ls.”
By Ibis time Mr. Stebbins had
slowly and laboriously succeeded
in gelling the envelope oil the let
ter. A bank check for $10,000 fell
out. It was beautifully printed in
green an.l gold, and endorsed on
its bank with the name on its face;
not a line accompanied it.
“G r-c-a-t Jerusalem!” exclaimed
the farmer, “here’s a windfall. Xow
who do you 'spose, wife, ever sent
me sieli a heap of money?”
“ t he laud knows,” said his wife,
who had done nothing hut stare at
the check.
“D’ye ’spose Uncle Silas has
come back from furiu’parts,and died
and left me the knll of his estate?”
“He never did such a thing be
fore.” said Mrs. Stcbbins, inno
cently.
“We can movo into town,” said
Miss Hetty, proudly.
“So we kin,”said John Jacob, jr.,
and I'll hare a vlosipcdc and a
bisikel and plaid close and bang
my hair. Hooray! Won't we big
apples swim, tiro’!”
“Stop your noise,” said the per
plexed farmer, looking in the di
rection of a birchen stick that pro
truded from tire clock-shelf. “Vou
needn't think you’ll git all you
want ’cos I’m rich. I can find lots
of places for money, un’ don't you
forgit it, young man!”
“Fcyther,” said Mrs. Stcbbins,
“there's only one tiling I’ve allua
wanted to liev in case we ev. r got
rich, an’ now I can hev it. It
seems too good to lie true.”
“Some fol-de-rol, I suppose; out
with it, then: you haven’t been
half a bud wife and I don't mind
letting you hev one silk gown, if it
don’t corno to dear.”
“But it ain’t a silk gown, feytb-
er,” said Mrs. Stebbins, bridling.
“Oil, it's a gold neckcliain, is it,
with a watch dangling on the end,
so ye sue how you waste time?
Well, if I did gel this monce easy,
I don’t stand no sort of chance of
foolin’ it away. I know it’s renl
value too well.”
“I guess what’s yours is mine,”
said Mrs. Stcbbins, shortly.
“An’wlmt's mine is my own; I’m
going to build on a new wing to
the house with this, and buy in ' welcome him in
some fine stock, and the meadow
lot so Hetty can.live with us when
ebe gets married to Jim Vance.”
“Indeed! Jim Vance! I guess I'll
go to the city and get acquainted
with the folks, now we’ve got mon
ey," said Miss Hetty. “Jim is only
a' common farmer boy; not but
wbat he ain't a good fellow, but
mebbe I can do better now.”
John Jacoo, Jr., gave a long
whistle. “I wouldn’t givo up Jim
till I see the other fellow, Het,”
he said, provokingly.
Isn’t a camel ncaror’n thousand
miles of us. How kin I git Imir to
make ye a shawl?”
“He never called me‘woman’ bo-
fore,” sobbed his wife. “To think
I should ever be called a ‘woman’
by my own husband, too. Ob,
John Jacob Stebbins, what a slmme
to let monoy harden your very
soul in tills way.”
“It’s enough to drive n man dee-
stractc.l, crazy,” said the farmer,
stamping around (lie room; “you
John, go and feed the cows. I
clean forgot them ”
"I ain’t a-goin’ to feed no caows
ennymore; you kin hire another
man,” said the youth, spreading
himself.
Mr. Stebbins rose anil took down
the means of grace from behind the
clonk, but with a mocking laugh
the youth Bed out of reach
“What’s tee matter witli you,
Hetty?” asked tbo unhappy man,
as lie saw large tears roiling down

his daughter's fate.
“Oh, pa, it's so hard to bear.
Just to think that I—boo—hoo—
may have to wear diamond ear
rings, and I (sob, sob,) never bad
my ears bere.il”
“I'd bo mighty glad to change
places with you,” muttered the an
gry farmer.' Then, going up to his
wife he placed his hand on her bony
shoulder.
'Come, wife, cheer lip. If there's
a camel to lie hail for love or
money, you shall have that shawl.
I ’spose I mought ez well give in
fust cz last. Cheer up old wo
man."
“Old woman!” shrieked Mrs.
Stcbbins. “He calls me ol.II Have
I lived all these long years to have
that man tell me to my face 1 ’m
old? John Jacob Stcbbins, I halo
you! I s-c-o r-n you! Keep your
money! I’m a-goin’ to leave you!
Ves! 1 will her somethin’new! I’ll
hev a divorce!’
Mrs. Stebbins tlircw her check
apron over her head and sobbed
aloud.
“Great Scott!” exclaimed the be
wildered man, “wlmt’s going to
come next? netty, me an’ your
mother never had a rale quarrel
yet, an’ she is a-talkin’ or a di
vorce, an' John Jacob a sassin’ me
to my face; it's till on akkount of
tlmt miserable, consarncd money.
Take the check and send it back to
the unknown liend as sent it; nary
a cent of it will 1 tech!”
“I aint afraid of it, pa,” said
Hetty, wiping her tears away.
Then she begnn to examine the
cheek with a look of sudden inter
est. At last she exclaimed:
“Why, pa! You never rend it!”
Then she laughed; slowly at first,
then louder and louder till she lm.1
a regular lit of hysterics. Mrs.
Stcbbins ran for remedies and Mr.
Stcbbins pounded her on the back.
When she got her breath again she
nearly repeated the operation, end
each time tlmt she looked at the
check she went into spasms of
laughter.
“ll’e nothin’,” she gasped, with
a reference to the check she still
held in her hand, “nothin’ in the
world hut an advertisement!”
“The loots ain’t nli dead yet,”
said the farmer, dryly. “I might
ha’ knewed there was a catch some
where."
“I must set the bread risin’,”
said his wife demurely, as she fold
ed her tent like the Arabs and si
lently stoic away.
“I’ve fed the critters,” sai.l John
Jacob, jr., who bad been listening
at the door, and now put in a
shame-faced appearance.
“I’m thankful I escaped a livin’
man," said tho tanner as lie tore
the bogus check into a thousand
pieces.
“There’s a inanat the door,” said
Hetty. “Why, it’s Jim Vance—

Wasiiin.iton, June 4 There is
now every reason to beliove that
Tilden will not accept the nomina-
tionof the Democratic Convention.
Representative Dorsliciiuer.ol Xow
York, having heard the contradic
tory statements of Congressmen
who have been calling on Tilden
this spring ns to Tilden's intentions
in regard to the nomination, deter
mined to ascertain exactly what
Tilden proposed to do. Through
Charles A. Dana lie learned tlmt
Tilden would not lie a candidate
before the Democratic Convention.
This information Mr. Dorslieimcr
has conveyed to ills Democratic
friends in the -Senate and House.
Tho result is a very genera! expres
sion of sentiment by both Senators
anil members in favor of the nomi
nation of Bayard. Bayard and Mc
Donald is the ticket most general
ly named. In his letter to Mr.
Dana, asking him to see Mr. Til.icu,
Mr. Dorsheimcr sai.l that tho Dem
ocratic parly was suffering through
the general uncertainty as to Mr.
Tilden’s intentions. The party, lie
said, was drifting to and fro, rud
derless and befogged, at a lime
when it was necessary to go for
ward confidently. He begged Mr.
Dana, for thu party’s sake, to
sec Mr. Tilden, show him the evil
effects of the present uncertainty
and urge iiini to declare himself.
Last Friday Mr. Dorslieimcr went
to New York and saw Mr. Dana.
Tile latter reported that lie had
visited Tilden and had submitted
to him all the arguments presented
in Mr. Dorslicimer’s letter. After
listening patiently Mr. Tilden re
plied tlmt lie had not wavered an
instant in his purpose to lorbid the
use of his name. Ho then showed
to Mr. Dana a letter wvitteu by
himself in which in terms most
|iosilive, emphatic and unequivocal,
he not only refuses the use of his
name, but declares tlmt lie would
not accept the nomination if ten
dered him, an.l tlmt lie womd not
be a candidate under any circum
stances.
"I wrote tlmt letter,” said Mr.
Tilden, to Mr. Dana,“in substance,
two months ago, with the intention
of making it public then, but they
persuaded ipe to witliold it lor a
time, and I shall now Imvo it read
at the State Democratic Conven
tion, on the ISLli of June.” In
speaking of “they” Mr. Tilden re
ferred to Messrs. Bigelow, Manning
and several other Democratic poli-
tlclans wlio held very close rela
tions witli him. He said that they
had soiqe purposes to subserve
which which would Imvo lieen In
jured by/the immediate publication
of thu letter, nn.l as lie, |H>r-
soimlly, did not care for a litll - de
lay, lie consented to witliold it un
til the meeting of the Stato Con
vention. Mr. Dana assured Mr.
Dorshoimer that lie saw and read
Mr. Tilden’s letter, nn.l that there
wns no question of Mr. Tilden’s
tincerity—that he is not and will
not be a candidate under any con
sideration. Thu purpose to be sub
served on the part of Mr. Manning
nn.l the other Tilden advisers, is
eelicved to lie the substitution of
Cleveland in Tilden’s plat e. Flow
er is rcgurilcd Imre as out of the
race.
