Lost in the Fog.
Burlington Hiin'keye.
Kramus T Ruggleson, a young matt
ol Saxon lineage, worked on a farm
out here in Yellow Springs township.
He was not rich, but hems industri
ous and just too pretty for anything.
So was the daughter of the farmer for
whom he worked. She was wealthier
than Erasmus, hut she was not proud-
When the chores were done in the
winter evenings, she went with him to
the singing scht>ol and she walked In
ins side to church. She loved him ;
she had rather sit at her easement in
the gloaming, and hear him holler
*‘po-00-ey 1” in long-drawn, mellow
cadencies, at the hour of the feeding
of the swine, than hear Uampanini
sing "Maca'oni and. 1 Vermicelli” from
•'H.indorgzhanni in Venezuela.” And
he—he was dean gone on her.
Mashed past all surgery. W hen they
foolishly let the old man into their
plans for each other's happiness and
half the farm, the wrathful agricultu
rist saitl if he heard one more word of
such nonsense, just another word, he
would lay that tarm waste with
physical havoc, and blight its win.
ter wheat with the salt tears of his
only child, and that was the kind
of a father-in-law he was inclined to
be.
Naturally, the young people de -
termined t i rty. Their plans wore
laid; tbc night was set So was the
ladder. At its foot wailed thu ur.
dent Krasinas llugglesoit, gazing at
the window for the window opened
Softly, and a face be loved appear
ed.
llisuius!
Flor nee!
Vos, dearest. Shall I drop my
things right dowi ?
Yes, low; I will catch them.
I.ot the bundle fall.
The glittering starlight iu the
clear March night fell on Erasmus’
glad and upturned face. So did a
trunk, four feet high, lour feet
wide, and about eight feet long. It
weighed about 2,700 pounds. It
contained a few “things” that no
woman could be expected to travel
without, and Florence had spent
three weeks packing that trunk for
her elopement
Erasmus Itngglaion did not
scream, lie (lid not moan. He
couldn't, Hu hud no show, Flor
ence came down the ladder, buying
first, with a maidenly sense of pro
priety, requested her lover to turn
his Ia ;k and uud look at the barn.
He was busily engaged in looking
at the bottom of that trunk and
thinking how like all creation hu
would yell if lie ever got his mouth
outdoors again,
Florence reached the bottom of
the ladder. Did you get my trunk
Krasmii -7 she said, locking are uud
f,r him.
Oh, yes, said a bourse mocking
voice at her elttOW; Oh, yes, he
got it. Oot it bud, too.
She turned, knew her papa,
shrieked ot ce, twice, again, and
onco m ire for the boys, au l fainted
away,
I never worried übou it u minute,
the heartless old man told Ins
neighbors the next day, though I
knowed well euougb what was go
ing on nil the lime. I‘ve been mar
ried twice, and I‘vc married off four
daughter* and two ft ns, and if I
don't know what baggage a woman
carries when she travels, by this
time, I'm too old to learn.
And Kramus Unggleson! The
jury brought in a verdict that he
came to his death by habitual drun
kenness, and the temperance papers
didnn't talk about anything else for
the next fix weeks.

From UougreN.sinan Aiken’ft speech.
Hut, sir. tbe cotton former in blandly
told he fdiould not complain, for inm
innch ftH he buy* the*© tie# at two and a
fourth per pound or less by retail
he sella them abound bin bile? at the net
price ol cottou, nine, ten or eleven cent
per pound. This pfouaible ar^uincut
does not warrant an ui ju?t tax. But
however pbiuaible the proposition, it i
not true in fact. The price of cotton id
the ftouth in regulated by the price in
York, and the price iu New York
depends upon the price in the Engliah
market, which ti graduated by specula
tion and not t supply and demand. It

penalty of the hangman 4 * rope around
the ueck ot every who dealt m what is
known technically * cotton futures, pos
itrye and direct orotection would be giv
en to the cotton planters iu so far as they
are defrauded by the gamblers of New
York and elsewhere, But from the influ
ence of the Liverpool market they can
never anticipate protection, tor English
cotton buyers schedule the price of eo‘-
ton as il every purchase were made ot j
the net lint. A standard rate is deducted |
from every bale as it is weighed, which is
an absolute loss ot twenty poun Is to the j
ba;c, the weight of the bagging and ties, J
and this loos falls directly upon tbe pros j
ducer. Hence an increased dnty upon
the cotton would be a direct tax upon tbe
former tor the benefit ot the manufactur

Hon. James G Blaine closed bis
eulogy upon President Garfield,
with the followii g eloquent and
beauiitul period:
A* the end drew near Ids early
craving for I lie sea returned. The
stately mansion of power had been
to him the wearisome hospital of
pain, and lie begged to ho taken
from its prison walls, from its op
pressive, stilling air, from its home
lessness, Gently, silently, the love
of a great people bore the pale suf
ferer to the longed for healing of
tho seal,to live or die,ns God should
will, within sight of its heaving
billows, within sound of its mani
fold wipes. With wan, fevered
face tenderly lifted to the cooling
breeze, lie looked out wistfully up
on the ocean's changing wonder.;
on its far sails, whitening in the
morning light, on its restless waves,
rolling shoreward to break and die
beneath the noonday sun; on the
red olouds of evesing, arching low
to the horizon, on the serene and
shining pathway of the stars. Let
us think that his dying eyes read n
mystic morning which only the
rapt and parting soul may know.
Let us believe that in the silence of
the raceditn' world be heard the
great wave breaking oo a further
shore, and felt already ripen his
wasted brow the breath of the eter
nal morning.
Griffin News: In front of Captain
George Nile's house is a tree called red

has a circle of blossoms coming rigid
out on the trunk without twin or brunch
to grow Oil, and tbe blossom* on t!ie
limbs are the same waj. It is and that
it will blossom at its root* tf it gels a fair
show. It presents a vt ry curious op ■

way of doii g business.
