and male friends; and this induced
some of hi.s friends to bestow upon him
die cognomen of “woman-hater.”
“Where is the friend you promis' d
to bring?” inquired Mrs. Wheaton of
Gordon. “I must confess that I have
some curiosity to see M r. Maxwell after
all you have been telling rae of him.”
“I regret exceedingly not to be able
to redeem my promise,” be replied,
“but a prior engagement prevented his
coming, llow I do wish you would
enter into a iittle innocent plot of mine
against him for a week or so! Say
•yes’ like a child’s bargain before I
tell you.”
“Xo; excuse me, Mr. Gordon. I shall
lo no such thing. You must tir t
tell me your plot.”
“Tell me, too. Mr. Gordon,” said a
young lady who approached, and
whose merry eye betokened a kindred
spirit to his own. “Tell me and I will
answer for it that sister Juliette enters
into your plans, heart and soul.”
“I shall be a thousand times indebt
ed t » you; Miss Aunie,” said Gordon.
•‘Well, now, for my plot, or rather the
outline of it, if you will accept my arm
to lead you to that cozy seat; for I
must confess I should like some wo
man’s wit to perfect my plans.”
“Koue of 3'our plots, and conspira
cies for me; I’ll have none of them,”
s»id Mrs. Wheaton, the widow, as she
left them to obey her aunt’s request
for music, aud where we must leave
her seated at the piano, discoursing
excellent music, ard holding her au
dience enthralled as if by magic. As
for Gordon and A nuie, they had “no
music in theft* souls”—at least for the
time, and were therefore the better
for “treason, stratagem and plots;'* in
which we leave them engaged. I am
sure, reader, if you had seen Juliette
Wheaton, like Gordon, you would have
called her “a bewitching little crea
ture.” Her delicate form, large beau-
t ful eyes of light-hazel, her brown
hair, nearly approaching to gold, need
ed not the rose-bud month, nor com
plexion like the sunny side of a peach,
to set her down at once—a beauty.

lowed minster, shed their peculiar
fragrance on every, passing breeze that
swept through their shade. Gordon
and the bright-eyed widow (jy were
fiir ahdad^*" >faxVeH felt surprised «at
himself, at this very first tweeting to
feel j»uch a tender sentiment springing
from his heart, for the fair young
creature walking so contentedly by
his side, in ’the depths of the forest.
‘•How glad I am,” soliloquized he,
“that the widow didn’t take to me,
instead of her enchanting sister, for
] joking aside, they are always so exact
ing and b>* no means dependent. There
is certainly an exquisite charm in the
timid reserve of this fair Juliette.
Metliinks l shall begin to play the
Romeo in very, truth; for I wish even
now that I might be a glove upon that
hand so that I could kiss her cheek.”
And Juliette, to judge from the
bright smile dimpling her soft cheeks
and the interested look which she
turned upon bis face ever and anon,
was equally well pleased with her
escort. What a delightful listener he
found her! lie felt so pleased with
her, with himself, with the whole
world, when they arrived at their des
tination, that Maxwell was ready, to
declare il a perfect paradise, anti felt
himself tempted to utter some such
nonsensical speech to her, so entirely
bewitched was he by the charm of her
manner. In fact, woman hater as his
friend styled him, there was not a
more susceptible being on earth than
this retiring young man, so he played
the game into their own hands.
They found Mrs. Hartwell “on hos
pitable thoughts intent,” busy in set-
ing out to the best advantage their din
ner, whilst near them lay little cherub j
Nellie, fast asleep. Maxwell the more
readily answered the question, “Did
you ever see such a little beauty?”
from its supposed mother, as
he Imagined he detected a strik
ing resemblance to Juliette, who
was kneeling to kiss the pretty lips
of the sleeping baba*; and his look and
toue would have satisfied the fend
heart of any mother, as bcyreplied,
“She Is indeed an angel,” and also
stooped to kiss her.
Gordon and Annie seemed determin
ed to enjoy each other’s society for that
day at least; and thus Juliette and
Maxwell were thrown upon their own
resources. The}*, however, appeared
very well content, for lie - told her of
all his adventuTes, ‘by flood and field
whilst, she was almost ready to exclaim
with the gentle Desdeiuona, “that she*
loved him for the dangers he bad
passed.”
What a delightful day it was to all,
and especially to Maxwell J The din
ner was delicious; and what laughs
the absence of many convenience*
caused! How beautiful did Juliette
seem in his eyes, as she held the little
cherub in her lap feeding her from her
plate, though begged by her sister not
to trouble herself with the child, but
give her to the nurse. Maxwell could
not refrain from sharing with the
child, some of the dainties to which his
companions helped him.
“There, there! That will do, Mr.
Maxwell; I.beg you will not give her
any more. Carry her away, Dinah, or
these good people will kill her with
kindness.” Thus was she borne off,
notwithstanding hereatreaties to stay
with mama. Maxwell had another
fault to sat down against the widow—

beautiful child, as she sat smiling;

One morning he sat with his friend

opening of this story — in the same
room, and his face now was not Rttless
as then, but wore a preoccupied and

sigh to his friend, who was watching
the yvreat' s of. smoke curling over his
head, from his cigar, pe said, “Gordon

“Oh, hang the widow I” exclaimed
Maxwell, “but joking aside, why do
you think so ? She appears to like me,
aud without vanity I may be considered
handsome and agreeable enough for
any girl with an unoccupied heart, to
love; more especially when 1 woo.”
“Ah, yes, but there’s the rub,” Gor
don .said. “The unoccupied heart!
There is no apartment ‘to let’ in that
heart, I flatter myselfiat least if! can
trust to woinaiTs vows, as t am mclin-
eJ to do iu tills case.”
“What do yon mean, Gordon ? That
you love her and that she—pshaw!”
“You way ‘pshaw* as much as you
like, Sir Irresistible, but ’tis true, not
withstanding, I am myself engaged to
that very same young lady !
“For once in your life, 1* serious,
Gordon, if you cun.”
“Serious! Well, if you will not take
my word, I will swear it. Maxwell.
And if you still doubt me. go and ask
her, your.self; 1 give you leave. Bit
you had bettor take a friend’s advice,
and inform the widow of your matri

Maxwell came Very near saying that
which were better left unsaid, as he
rose from his chair, and paced up aud
down the room. Gordon sat smiling to
himself, as, tilted back iu Ids chair he
coolly finished hi* cigar, tempting the
now thoroughly exasperated young
man, by hi* mocking air, to knock hin.
over every time be approached.
At last, having finished smoking.
Gordon rose, and as he withdrawing or.
his gloves said, “Come, rny good fellow,
dou’t be cast down. If you can’t gei
Miss Wheaton, take Mrs. Wheaton.
*Ouy of a name is as good as the same,*
ns the old saying has it; aud 1 really
believe she has a fancy for you.*\
He did not.stop to hear hi* frh?nd%
ansv'ey, as he left the room with a
laugh. Maxwell con tinned his waik—
now rapidly, then stopping, again fa-:,
’til he came to a halt in front of a win
dow.
“Impossible! There is no truth in
this world if it exists not in Juliette
Wheaton. I have heard her express
her opinion concerning Gordon, and
even laugh at him, which no woman
ever does at the one she loves. I will
go, by George! and ask her.
If ’tis true, theu will I never trust
woman kind p.gaiu.’*’
Then, walking to tho mlrfor, he
brushed hi* dark locks as carefully as
ever did one of the weaker sex; and
then taking his gloves and hat started
for Mrs. Hartwell’s.
His own heart wr3 thumping as
loudly as the old fashioned knocker to
his nervous rap, as he stood on the door
step. He was ushered into the com
fortable parlor, where the sun’s rays
came slyly in through the closed blinds,
playing at bide and seek with the roses,
on the carpet, and where the red glow
ing light from the fire foil upon the
bright face* of Juliette, as she sat on a
low ottoman, playing with the curly
headed Nellie, whose silvery . laugh
was echoed by the mellow, cheerful
one of her mother. There was no one-

THE NAVY DEPABT3IENT.
Points for lh« Mew Secretary •
It appears that Secretary Teller was
not the only member of the .Arthur
Cabinet whose management will need
careful investigation. Mr. Whitney
will find that Secretary Chandler’s
management of rbe'Navy Department
has led to certain results which will
seriously embarrass, him in putting
that department on a good basis.
Before Chandler went into the Navy
Department be was the attorney of
John Roach before ’Congress. There
were four bidders for the contracts to
build the new iron vessels ordered by
Congress. John Roach, Mr. Chan
dler’s friend and former employer,
was found to be thf lowest bidder and
secured the contracts. It is not gen
erally known that "the first thing that
the Secretary did In'makiug out these
contracts with his old client was to
-»rike out the penally danse required
'-.-Tj-Thi.s left the government,
v -*Mgle check upon Roach,
without a riStfcv-***, ,, W1W of forcing
and without a single
him to comply with hK contract*;
save through the holding back of lo
percent, of the, payments on his ves
sels as a reserve fund from which to
extract penalties in the way of fines.
But even this last restriction was set
aside by the amiable* Secretary just
before he went out of office. He caused
to be paid over to Roach this reserve
fund, so that Mr. Whitney is perfectly
helpless so fai li* having any authority
or control over Roach's work. None

about the qualities of this r new pea in

^ kft?
been finished under contract last July,
(t will be fortunate if she is completed
by the next July. Tile Chicago and
the Boston and the Atlanta were to lx*

near completion. The Chicago is not
yet launched. This is a gross viola
tion of the contracts. It explains how
Roach could put in.a lower bid than
all the rest.
The Bavarian Klitfr’s Love.
From Society in Vieuna.
King Louts was wildly tn love.
With whom 1 will not say.. One day
.is he was bringing to his lady, just as
common, nnregal lovers do, a magnifi
cent bouquet, he happened by accident
to pass uunoticed into her little salon,
where he found himself alone. Imrae-
tiately he begin to airauge tliJ flowers
iu a vase. Having finished this deli-
v*ate operation, he started to leave, bm
just then saw his beloved one coming
borne in company with a young man.
•So he concealed himself behind a cur-
uiin in order to enjoy the surprise and
delight, as he thought, of the young
.ady at the sight of the .flowers brought
co her by her royal admirer. Well,
-die came into the room, but not alone.
Jer cavalier was with her. “Heaven!”
die exclaimed, “another bouquet from
:hat fool of a Kiug whom 1 detest!’
Then, turning to her friend, she invlt-
ft.*d him to kiss away' the ahnoying im
pression. The invitation, w;i-< vigor-
usly accepted, ami his concealeu
.'lajesty, aitqough half bliudftd with
the tears in his eyes, managed to brawl
.lit unobserved. Then he cursed tht
.liifaithfui one ^ud sworetliat he would
net er again love and never marry. He*
Kept his oath, aud since that time, il

Relief From malarial Poivosi.
For six months past I have bt^&n
affected with a very serious case ot
typhoid malaria, which I con traded on
ray orange grove in northwestern
Florida. I tried several remedies, but
everything failed me. Two weeks ago
! purchased a bottle of Swift’s Specific,
which has ptrered tt~snre cure for thi.-
dreadful malady. I had almost given
up hope of ever beingwell again, for
l had tried so many remedies, all ot
which had foiled to do any good.
Would to God r thnt all tm afllictea peo
ple residing in the malarious counties
of Georgia and Alabama wontrtreau
tbit> and try the S. S. S. instead of dos
ing ritemselvps with quinine and min
eral remedies. I feel it my duty to
suffering humanity to write* this cer
tificate, for it may be the nveans of
my old friends trying this great reme
dy as I have done. So strong is my
faith in It that in every case .where the
directions are followed I aril! guaran
tee a sure cure or forfeit one hundred
dollars. Cuas, D. Barkeb,

“it is a wox’okrful BiatEor.”
For many years my blood was in a
bad condition, manifesting its charac
ter by a scrofulous breaking out oo
both my ankles, which caused nie con
siderable suffering as well as great
annoyance. Seeing the, name of Rev.
Jesse* H..Campbell, of .Golunibu.% Ga.,
attached to a certificate concerning a
cure by Swift’s Specific, I wrote to
him about €Lis remedy. His replv
was that “it is a wonderful remedy.” I
tried it and found * the action r very

. «ted, slia’tvtlnejhe the
rock for about J10 feet, and carrying
away several tons of debris, which w as
hurled hundreds of yards up amldow n
the stream. The second shell struck
nearly in the centre of the ledge. It
opened a cavity in *he face of the
ledge about 25 feet. in diameter, and
excavated a pit or crater about six feet
deep. Some of the fragments of rock
from this explusiou were hurled half a
mile, one piece, weighing nearly 12
pounds, being thrown across the canal
and lodging near a farm house adjoin
ing the Georgetown reservoir. The
other shots were similar in their effect.
Notwithstanding the drizzling rain
quite a crowd of people assembled to
view the trial, among whom, in addi
tion to several officers of the army and
uavy, were tho military and naval at
taches of the German, French and Ital
ian legations, and the Russian Minis
ter in person. The trial was regarded
as a success in every respect aud as a
conclusive proof of the destructive
power of the G-inch shells. The next
test in the series will be made in a few
days with 8-inch shells, carrying 35-
pound charges of nitro-geiatine. It is
possible that/in view of the effects of
toe 6-inch shells, carrying only 11-
pouud charges, the local authorities
may reftise peruiistdou to fire 35-pound
charges anywhere-in tho neighbor
hood. In that event the next trial will
have to be made at Fortress Monroe or
Sandy Hook. The members of thy
foreign legations present manifested
great interest in the trial, particularly
the Russian Minister and the German
militarv attache, who took notes of the
proceedings. Some idea of the power
of the explosive used may be gathered
from tiie fact that, though the shells
struck squarely against the face of a
solid ledge of rock IOC feet wide and
♦SO feet high and exploded by their ow n
impact, tons of rock were blasted out
at each discharge, and not only re
moved, but broken into small frag
ments and buried in all directions; for
half a mile. - Some of the military and.
naval experts present expressed the
opinion that any’one of the shells fired
to-day would have completely wrecked
any unarmored ship afloat, and seri-
wbenee It is now being distributed,
the following will be interesting from
Mr.. J* II. Alexander, of Augusta, Ga.,
to the Home and Farm: *
“This year I secured something
more than a pint of seed, which 1
planted, two peas in a place four to six-
feet apart, co vering nearly a half acre.
I got the seed near the middle of J une,
and having then do unoccupied ground,
l put them in with my crop of white
velvet okra, which I was growing for
seed. The okra was already well
tarted an the peas were put iu -the
rows between the stalks and to fill
missing places, of which there were a
j;ood many. The rains were abundant
all the early summer arid until first of
August. The peas appeared prompt
ly, t>nt did not grow rapidly at Arst,
and 1 suppose were retarded* some by
the okra, which, being dwarf and com
pact growth, shaded the land too much
for the peas. In August, however,
the vines began to make freely and by
iepteraber the land was as* densely
-haded with pea vines as if a biishe an)
a half of common field or clay pea* lull
oeen sown on it. Vines 15 to 20 ice*
long were very common, and this soil
oeitig thin, lipfht, sandy loam and not
fertile. I readily believe that on good,
••troiig land the* vines would extend
-i0 feet or more,
The Couch pea is a small white pea,
very like what we call Lady pea. For.
zbe table they are delicate and tender
—si very acceptable dish. The viue is
a very low creeper, lies close upon the j
«oil and I suppose could not be ertt
with a mower on that account. At
the joints it has a tendency to tak*
fresh roots. The foliage is abundant,
tnd I believe it will be the best of «I1
peas to shade the land from onr sum
mer sun and furnish humus for en
riching'the land.
I observed very few blooms during
August, and not until late in Septem
ber was there any show of a good crop
>f seed from these vines. Near Oct. 1
there came an immense crop of peas,
tlmost as if by magic. They bore
right along abundantly and but for
frost overtaking them would have
yielded a large return. As it is, I got
about two bushels of seed from the
first planted, and there seemed to be as
many killed by frost as I had gathered.
I am inclined to think that this pea
will do more to enrich our lands than
any other sort, because they make
such vines and foliage. A quart of
seed careffiBy distributed over an acre
will occupy the 1 land as fully as two
bushels of clay or red peas and protect
it as well from* the sun. The economy
in seed would be quite an item. A
mowing machine blade would not run
under these vines; but if it is desired
to save forage the vines could be cut
off at the root and pulled around into
Windrows to cure* as easily as a horse
rake would take up the common sort
of vines.
The Trouble Safely Over.
’ Stomach trouble is serious business
while it lasts; but what a blessed relief
to have it depart ! Mrs. F. G. Wells,
of 19 Atlantic street, Hartford, Conn.,
writes that she tried Brown’s Iron Bit
ters for stomach trouble, and that she
experienced such relief that the trouble
is now entirely over. She recommends
this great iron medicine to all who are
afflicted. It cures liver and kidney
complaint. _ .
Willing to Fay Extra.
Xe\r York Herald.
A Western bridegroom at an up
town hotel summoned a bell boy by
bawling down six flights of stairs.
“W—wliat’sthe matter?”panted the
boy, as be responded to the unique
summons. ,
“It’s that air light,** said the bride
groom, indicating the gas. “I’ve been
trying to blow the durned thing out
for fifteen minutes. If it costs any
thing extra to sleep in the dark jess
say so, an 1 I’ll • foot the bill. Marlar^

Titere is an immense crowd, too, and !

like the crowd one sees at a Democratic i
National Convention—a little more
nattily dressed perhaps, certainly more j

one of a convention in activity to chin, *

TELEGRAPHING FOR i l Ni»*.
One cannot help thinking, while
noting the generous way m which
these fine fellows live, whether their
money will lust a fortnight longer, and
If it doesn’t last whether they run bor
row enough to lost-the next three or
four months, unless sooner convinced.
This telegraphing for more funds on
the “we are sure to get there” plan
ha3 already begun. If you say ary-
thing of the pi>s.sibility of President
Cleveland making few removals to
these fellows they will simply look at
you in a threatening or contemptuous
manner and swear. General sweep is
the most popular general here at pres
ent. From the leading gossip it would
.appear that every important office in
the country will be changed before the
month U out.
THE EX-CONGJ&ES3MAX.
A political leader, whose attentiotr
was called to- the nmiiber of ex-Con-
greSftSmen in the field, said: “It on^it
to be accepted by the President i*
prim a facie evidence of a man’s unfit
ness for public ^office that he has been
retired by his constituents from Con
gress as unfit to serve them there. 1
mean that a man whose weakness at
home brings disaster to his party and
himself is not a man to be given Fed
eral office. 1 should require good evi
dence to offset toe fact that a candidate
was defeated at the polls or in the
nominating convention, and I don’t
believe these ex-Congressmen will
stand much of a show with Cleve
land.” - . ^
THE.RESIGNATION READY.
Nearly all the principal officers have
notified their superiors that their res
ignations are ready at any moment.
Tearful leave-takings are.Indulged in
daily aud hourly funerals are autici-
pated. In the face.of this scare which
just now amounts to a panic in the de
partments it is not likely that general
changes will be made soon, if at all.

A determined lot of candidates seem
to have spotted the position of Public
Printer. This may seem a ltttie odd
to those who know that it is oue of
the most difficult places to fill accepta
bly of all the low-priced positions nn-
der the Government. The Public
Printer gets but $4,500 a year, has to
manage a mechanical institution em
ploying about 2,000 persons, and is
responsible to Senate, House,* the
President and every Cabinet officer to-
? ether. The experience of Public
’renters before Rounds’ time has not
been a happy one. They have lived a
life of turmoil and trouble,'to be kiefced
out in disgrace. JLt killed Defrees, yet
no less than five persons are after the
place. The man who Is fit for it ought
to be able to make $10,000 a year in'-
private business.
