Ned colored suddenly; he didn’t quite know why. “Perhaps you didn’t know that Miss Annea is my promised wife,” he said, a trifle coldly. “Oh, but so many engagements are broken In a summer at the seaside; one never minds that very much,” the languid belle said^indifferently. That night there was a hop at the hotel and N^ed hade made up his raiud while dressing to be a little more at tentive to Mblliei but to his surprise he didn't find Mollie An.ies shrinking under her mother’s wing as had been her custom. A number of her old friends had arrived while they were at dinner, and they were about her; be sides, Lee Stone was quite pronounced in his attentions to her, and while she gave him (Ned) a smile from the dis tance he found it quite difficult to get near her; then a light tap on his arm informed him that Miss Lovel was asking him why he was so preoccu pied, and as Mollie and Stone went cir cling by, joining tbe waltzers, he fol lowed them with Miss Lovel. “A rather pronounced flirtation,” Lee laughed later, when he and Mollie stood on the hotel terrace watching the moonlight on the sea and strand, and one solitary couple passing slowly along beside tbe W’aters. Both knew who they were, for a few moments be fore they had seen Ned Tremaine place that pale pink scarf about the shoulders of Mibs Laura Lovel, as he led her across the terrace, too much engrossed iu his task, it would seem, to notice Mollie or her companion. “Oh, everybody flirts more or less at a seaside hotel; one has nothing else to do, you know,” Mollie answered Lee with a light little ripple of her laughter, and he looked down on her pretty face to which the moonlight was so tender, his voice sinking almost to a whisper as he spoke to her. “It is a cowardly pastime for a man,” he said softly; “and, for a woman, it Is a cruel one.” Again »he laughed, while arranging uch of the bracelet on her arm; a torn mockery was in the rippling voice. “And you—is it pleasant to know that you are cruel or cowardly?” she questioned. “One is tempted to be come personal when such remarks come fiom one who is said to count his conquests with cruel pride, and to whom the world gives' no higher aim than to fascinate, and—remain careless. Am I too plain ? . Forgive me.” “I forgive you freely—as I would forgive you all tilings, Miss A ones; but neither you nor the world fully understand me. I may seem a trifler; but were the wora^n I love to loye me in return, no smile would be to me so sweet as hers, uo presence half so dear.’* Mollie had been watching tbe couple on the sands, going slowly back and forth, back and forth in the moon light; now she lifted her sweet young face, and looked at him with a sort of wondering pity. “Do we all wrong you, hen?” she asked gently. “Have you failed in your wrong ? Can you not win where you love?” His face flushed a little at her words, and she, watching it, was struck by his strength and beauty.

What was changing in her life? When she now met Ned and Laura it did not pain her as it used. Was it because a handsome face, a stronger ami nobler -face than Ned’s, was constantly near, ready to turn to her with devotion, ready to light if she smiled? A servant broke her ponderings by bringing her two messages—one a bouquet of white flowers*,' with a few feathery sprays of fern amoug their whiteness, and one crimson rose gleaming red from their centre; and in was a note from Lee, asking her to go for a drive with him by moon light; the other was a few angry lines from Ned, asking if she remembered that she was betrothed to him while she allowed every go’ssip at the hotel to chatter of her flirtation with Lee Stone. “1 have been patient, waiting an opportunity of speaking to you,” he wrote, “but you will not give* me one, so I write to ask you if you Wish our engngemeut broken; to all it would seem so.” She trembled a little as she read, and her sweet face changed color, but she went to her desk,'drew from it every letter he had ever sent her, formed them and his ring in a package, and wroie the following note: “It was I who was first taught pa tience, while my existence was lorgot- ten for one w*ho was what you bade me become—‘a society character.’ Why should 1 fancy that you wished an interview with me of late? It is not so long since you could uot spare a moment for me from Miss Lovel. Do I wish our engagement broken ? Per haps we both wish it, Ned ; at least let us break it since 1 so displease you. I send you your letters and ring.” Then, although a choking sensation was in her throat, she penned a brief note to Lee: “I will be pleaded to go with you:” that was all, and iu the starlight—the moon rose late—she went with him out over ih*- Ijeacli and far along the country. Was it strarfge that lie noticed she no longer wore Ned’s ring? Was it strange that he told her of his love, aud that die listened silently, belicv- ingly. with a strange flutter at her heart? Was it strange that when they drove hack, lingering beside the sob bing ocean, another ring should deck her linger, and another bond should lie upon her life? Well, two .others walked upon the strand, two whom the gossips called lovers; and yet when it was told that Mollie Annes was to [dace her happiuess in the keeping of “the flirt of the beach,” one man who heard it turned white as death, and shrank from the sight of the beautiful woman beside him, although men called her fair, and many said she had won him from his faith; yet Mollie was too happy to regret, although she •I 11 sometimes remembers. nephew of Vice-President dricks.

A Queer Story Told by n Saw 3X111 Laborer. . Port Jerri* Gazette. George W. Parker, who works in circular saw mill near the village of Lebanon, encountered a very large black bear on last Saturday morning while he was going to his work. 31 r. Parker covers the distance between his residence and the saw mill twice every day and is thoroughly familiar with every step of the ground. Between the two points is a marshy piece of woods extending diagonally some six or seven miles. When about midway in the wood's on the day mentioned Mr. Parker was startled by tbe sudden appearance of the bear not more than 100 yards aw*ay. The bear was walk ing directly toward him, and, raising its head and spying Mr. Parker, came to a sudden halt. It is needless to say that Parker did likewise. He was between tbe horns of a di lemma. Wbat to do he did ndt know. To advance meant a fight with brufn, and as be had nothing to defend him self with except his fists he quickly concluded that tbe bear would have de cidedly tbe advantage in the struggle. )f the His only hope from the clutches 01 brute, who was closely eyeing him, was to retreat to bis residence a mile back, and this he disliked to do as he would be late on arriving at his work. While he stood weighing the chances pro-and con, bruin uttered a howl and dashed forward at a lively rate. That settled it. Parker took to his heels and made a bee-line for his residence, in his haste to get away he stumbled and fell, and as he regained bis feet he hurled a large stone at the now infu riated animal, which was then not far enough away fat. comfort. Every time Parker turned around he imag ined that the bear was gaining on him. Large beads of sweat gathered on his forehe ’ lead and he commenced to hope uginst hope. As he was nearing the edge ot the woods he began to think whether it would not be better to climb one of the Idgh trees which skirted the highway and wait for de liverance until some one passtd along. This he decided to do, and accordingly jumped over the wall and was soon up a friendly hickory tree. When the bear arrived opposite the tree it rais ed itself on its hind legs and began to howl. Parker also began to shout in hopes of attracting some one’s atten tion, and between him and the bear they made more noise than was ever heard in that section since Brant’s sav age warriors passed a century ago. Parker knew that he was 'secure for the time being, but dreaded tbe ending and continued to shout at the top of his voice. Bruin t o itented himself by pawing the earth and closely eye ing his prisoner. Parker’s shouts had the effect of attracting tbe attention of another aud much larger bear, which emerged from the woods- a distance away from where he was. When he espied bruin No. 2 he thought the jig was up, hut instead, the new-comer proved his deliverer. It gave a how! aud began walking slowly in an oppo site direction, and the first' bear very reluctantly followed suit, occasionally looking about to see if there was anr movement on Parker’s part.

Savannah News. There are few States better supplied with institutions of learning: of the higher grade? than Georgia. Some of these institutions have filled important spheres in educating the young men .and women of our State for many years, and the pride which our people take in them is not only pardonable but com mendable. At the head of the list stands die Uni versity of Georgia, which owes its ori gin to an act passed by the General Assembly, endowing Franklin College ninety-sevsn years ago, though it was not formally opened until fourteen afterward. Very many of the great men in Georgia were educated at this institution, around which has grown up a noble little city which is by char acteristics as well as name the Athens of our State. Four years ago the en dowment of the university was largely increased by the General Assembly, and tuition was* made practically free. 3Iereer University, the literary and theological institution of the Baptists, was fouuded at Penfield in 182i>, and begun its long and honorable course in 1833. Some ten or twelve years ago it was moved to Macon, where it has continued to prosper. Emory College, at Oxford, the great Methodist institution of the Georgia and Florida conferences, stands also in the front rank. The Catholic college at Macon named in honor of Pio Nouo, has won an en viable position', an no high grade school in the State is better sustained. Then there is the Wesleyan Female College at 31 aeon, the acknowledged pioneer institution of the kind in the world, and the Lucy Cobb, the noted female college of Athens, and a score of other high grade schools that are cele brated iu different parts of the State. The - Agricultural and 3Iechanical Colleges at Athens and at Dahlonega, 3Iilleugeville, Thomasville, Cuthbert and Hamilton appear to be pros|jering and furnishing much needed instruc tion in their respective sections, though many doubt that they are very valua ble as feeders to the University of Geor gia. The Atlanta University, the normal school of the colored people, is liberal ly endowed by the State, and is in many respects well conducted. The people of Georgia have more reason to boast of their higher institutions of learning than of theircommon schools. If our State contiuues to prosper it will before many years be unsurpassed in the number and merit of of its uni versities and colleges. What Georgia uow needs is a school of technology. The General Assembly Lancaster Cremation Society, took charge ot the body on its arrival. It was immediately conveyed to tbe crematorium, where a large number of people of all ages and sexes had congregated to witness the operation. The Cincinnati party, consisting o! Mr. Charles B. Murray, s**n of the de cedent, and C. 31. Lotze, Albert Mel- ninger aud Major Henry Oliver, offi cers of the Cincinnati Cremation Soci ety, reached the scene a short time after and were received by the trustees of the local society iu a body; After a short pause and conversation in the reception Aom, the gentlemen were led into the auditorium, which was tilled with visitors from the town. The officers of both soefeties formed a semi circle in front of the furnace, with the son of the deceased in the center. The view presented was novel and strikiug. The small building, resembling in many respects a country meeting house, built of pressed brick, was too little for gpe purpose, and the heat from the furnace was intense. In front of the spectators were four doors, opening into the reception, the prepar ing and the two retort rooms. Only one retort was in position, however, and the heavy iron door protecting the opening to it was atxfut to be re- mo veil. A deathly silence prevailed. A knock at the prepariug-room door reached us from England.

The cloth was removed and the corpse, enveloped in a large white muslin sheet, soaked in alum water, lay there but for a moment. The door of the retort swung open and the rosy light of 2,200 degrees ot heat Hik'd the auditorium. No fire or flame was visible. Simply the incan descent light thrown by the heat from the brick tiling composing the retort was to be seen, and it like unto tbe mer evening. The Tr n cradle upon which lay the body was rolled from the top of the table noislessly through the mouth of the retort anil it disap peared in the light within. The} door swung to and all was over. No noise, no fire, no odor, nothing of au unpleas ant nature marred the operation. No dull sound of the clod upon the coffin- lid sent a shudder through the nerve of the beholder.

Pharr, who lives in Cains district, had a re markable fall a few days since. She went to the well to draw a bucket of water; in doing it the rope slipped oil* the whirl. She got up on the boxing to adjns( the rope, and while standing there the plank broke through with her and she fell to the bottom, a dis tance of forty feet. The alarm was given and her father under great ex citement attempted to go into the well to rescue her, but just as tie started the young lady told him not to come as she was half way out. After striking the water she found that she was not seriously hurt and she set at once to work to*get out. Getting hold of the rope she climbed up, putting her feet in the steps usually left by well dig gers in the walls and had got half way out when her friends had prepared to assist her. She was soon extricated from her dangerous position and it was ascertained that she sustained no material injury, but her hands were burned by her holding on to' the rope in her rapid descent. She is a young lady of pluck and nerve who will make her way through the world and not one of these effeminate creatures that Clints at the sight of a mouse. Worked the Wrong: Backet.

We have never been separated a single day since I was a little baby.” “No-o?” he, this with an inflection on the second section of “no” that went only halfway to the ceiling and ’ * tin. back agal “Oh. dear, no,” the girl went on In her artless way, “and ma always said that when I was married she was going to love my husband like her own son, and come and keep house for us.” “Oh-h?” said William, with a cir cumflex.

A view of the process going on behind that large iron door was to be taken. A delay of hall an hour w*as necessary before the gases being consumed with in the retort had sufficiently dispelled themselves to admit of it. Then a small opening, two inches In diameter, w*as made by pressing a small knob in the wall, and the incineration was to be seen. The cradle was plainly visi ble, and there lay the body enveloped as before, in its white sheet to all ap pearances unscathed. One might have supposed it was the habitation of a hu- mau soul, so pure and heavenly was the appearance. The most of the gas«-.s seemed to have been dispelled, as uo odor of any kind could be detect ed. That a dead body could be re solved into its natural elements so quickly and easily seemed strange, when one thought of the horrible pro cesses going on daily in the burying grounds. Death had lost most of Its terror. It seemed lieautiful thus to pass away from materiality into va- |K»r. The process was nearly ended, but not entirely. The opening was closed, ai.d the little party returned to town, to return after dark. leaving, a view of the building was again had, and one could hardly suppose that so important an act had taken plaee in so modest a structure. No smoke stack or anything indicating its use was vis ible. The single word “Crematori um,” hewn in a marble slab and nlaced above the iron door, told the Story. At 9 o’clock that night the party re turned to the crematorium, aud a com plete inspection of the building was made. Another view was had of the interior of the retort, and now all w*as passive light. No gaseous flames were Tf visible. The light' of the full nioou could not have been milder or more beautiful. The cradle with its appa rent burden was completely visible, and the body seemed to rest there un harmed by the heat of the fire that had raged beneath the retort for nearly twenty-four hours. A slight breeze would have destroyeil this filmy shell of alum and muslin tissue. But none could reach it until the large iron door could be opened, which could not be done until morning. At 7 a. tn. this was done, and a small heap of white ashes was visible. These were care fully removed by means of a wire brush from the bottom of the retort aud placed in a small 6x6-iuch metal ease. They were found to weigh four pounds and one ounce. Small frag ments were found among the ashes, which were tbe remnants of the large bones of the body, but no organic mat ter was there. The work was com plete. By exposing tbe ashes to the air for a few hours the whole assumed the appearance of white dust. IK WAR PAIST AND FEATHERS Sitting Rnll and HXs Indians Gall Upon Gen. Sheridan. Washington Post, June 21. Buffalo Bill, accompanied by Sitting Bull and fifteen Indians, called at the War Department yesterday and paid their respects to Gen. Sheridan and Adj. Gen. Drum. The Indians wore their war costumes. Their faces were embelished with red and yellow paint and on their heads they wore immense single feathers. Sitting Boll's bead was adorned by a number of feathers of large size. In Gen. Sheridan’s room bnt little conversation was in dulged in. Sitting Bull gave an oc casional grunt when spoken to by an Indian companion. He paid bnt little attention to his surroundings. The other Indians were interested in pic tures of Indian life that adorned the walls. They paid especial attention to the buffalo scene, and calling the at tention of each other to it, talked and laughed among themselves. The In dians left the room in single file and niisdml nhniit n hunrlnwl Tionose passed about a hundred War |men t clerks who stood in the corridors. The visit to Gen.
