A strange, sad story comes from
some of tlie summer wanderers about
a popular society youug lady of
neighboring State. It was a small
place iu Tennessee, and tow'anls the
latter end of the season. Only a few
remained of the large number who a
few weeks before had made the place
lively. Everything was rapidly as
suming the forlorn autumn look of a
summer resort, aud those few were
making plans to depart when a youug
mail hit on something which above ail
things is calculated to produce excite
ment and fun—spirit rapping*. A
man whose appearance gave oue the
impression he was not of the ordinary
run of mortals, arrived one day, and
in accidental conversation with him
Tdfs young mail discovered he was k
ventriloquist, broken down in health,
seeking a place of rest. Immediately
devising a plot the young maH told
it to the ventriloquist aud enjolued se
crecy-
The plot was that a crowd should lie
gathered together to have spirit ru|>-
piugs, and that the ventriloquist, who
wa* to be hidden iu the room amf
make the rapping sounds, and then
afterwards to speak, tnrowiug his
voice in difler-nt parts of tin* room.
Everybody gladly entered into the plot
except one young lady, a beautiful,
-tceninplished girl, who was always
fhe leader In everything she tiuder-
:00k, ordinarily fearless mid ini|ietii-
uis and imle|>emleut, and was |K>j>ttlar
with everybody. Not a country man
or woman for miles around hadn’t
heard of Mi»» Rose, and not e would
have refused 10 do almost anything
for her. The little laivs watched for
er ht her daily horseback rides iu
order to open the gate to let. her pass,
carrying the remembrance of her klud
words and smile proudly iu their
inlmls f .r many a day. She was irnm

His most intimate friend into whose
room lie staggeted after he had been
told bis fate, s.« d the most terrible
mental anguish he ever saw depicted
on a human face «*a*on the one bowed
before him that night, aud when the
halt crazed lover left him his friend
swore he would have revenge on the
511*1 who had thus, he thought, ntth-
es-ly destroyed a noble life’s happi
ness.
The next morning a* the 3'oung lady
started out tor a di ive Ihe news which
was exciting the whole town reached
ter; the man whom she had discarded
was dead. He had been found that

is nsiiint bottle containing morphine.
Examination showed that he had taken
1 large amount. She fell bark insen-
‘ible aud remained so for neatly three
lays, wh.'ii she was well cuoiigh to
ravel. Her mother brought her to
his quiet resort, aud as told before,
with the good effect of apparently
restoring the daughter's health anil
spirits.
Tlie young man who first hit on the
idea of having spirit raping*, was the
friend of the dead lover, w liuiu he had
vowed to avenge. He hail only been
in the little village a tew* days, ami
was shocked to see the jovoiisiiess and
light heartedness of the Woman who
had brought about so milch ruin aud
grief. It was therefore with a view to
carrying out his oath that he proposed
Ills plan.
As said before, nil x *ept tlie .voting
lady entered at once into it. She at
first refused, but afterwards was per
suaded to join the party. While dress
ing that evening she seemed strangely
despondent, ami wheu asked the cauae
hy her companion, said:
“I d*>n’t know what U the matter
with me; I feel just as I felt wheu i
saw George having the house the
night before that awrful day. Some
thing is going to happen, certain!”
In a room in which tlie lamps were
turned down to a low, ghostly flicker
were a little later gathered eight or
ten gentlemen or ladies, who sat with
hands on a large, roung table, making
a circle. After five or ten minutes ot
silence, one by one began to ask:
“Am 1 a medium? If so, rap.”
No response came until this Alabama
young lady was reached, w hen in re
sponse to her question a distinct rap
was heard. She turned pale, but went
on with the next question:
“Will you tell your pame?”
Again a rap came.
She commenced at the beginning of
the alphabet, starting over when a
knock came, and turned as pale as a
sheet as the word “George” was
spel'ed.
She paused a minute, and then went

Alone in the world, Ellen had been
admitted to tlie Home through the of
fices of kind friends. She became a
novice. Her brother discovered that
her vow would not expire until next
July.
He would have taken her away at
once but the Cathblic church does not
willingly surrender her votaries, ami
the young man was compelled to tem
porize. He wrote his address 1
piece of paper and handed It to his
sister, biit iu addition to his addres*
he also wrote: “Ellen 1 want to take

No member of Congress of recent
years was better knowrn to the galleries
than Judge Poland,of Vermont. Tlie
blue dress coat with bra-s buttons
which he always wore made him con
spicuous among hi* colleagues. He is
above the average stature; his features
are as clear cut as a cameo, with an
impression of severity that makes his
humor and'good nature. His general
appearance, dignified bearing and cor
rect manners convey the idea that he
is one of the most straitlaced of men.
Senator Blackburn tells a good story
that illustrates the manner of man
Judge Poland Is. Poland aud Black
burn wete members of the House dur
ing the Forty-eighth Congress. One
day some friends of Blackburn while
on the way to the Congressional to
obtain liquid refreshment met the
Kentucky member as he was passing
across the hall of the House, and in
vited hint to join them.
“Wait a uiinute,” sa.d Blackburn,
“until I speak to Judge Poland, and I
will join you.”
“Bring the Judge with you,” said
one of the part}’.
“Judge Poland never drinks,” said
Blackburn.
At this sotpe of his friends laughed,
and oue replied:
«Yo« don’t know the man, ask him
to join ps.”
Blackburn repaired to Poland’s seat,
transacted his business, and then in
vited hint to join the party. Poland

month, aud when everybody knew fhe
tlrawiugs tor be square, every gambler,
pugilist, thief and burglar made ir a
solemn duty to invest in at least one
ticket per month. I happened in New
York with my ‘pal* lit May one year,
and each of ns bought a ticket for the
May drawing, {Mymg therefor five
dollars each. Our stay in the city was
brief. \Ye had a job laid out in au
Eastern State, and weut to Gotham
after tools to do It with. Wheu we
purchased the tickets each of as took
the number of both on a slip of paper.
After a few days we got down to our
work. We ltad* plaited to ciack the
*ate in the officio! a big iron mill, and
we hail gone over the ground and
worked out the detail* until we felt
sure of the boodle. The {my day at the
•nill came 011 the 2Uth of the month.
Fhe money was drawn from the bank
on tlie Ibth, aud ot course kept in safe;
over night. It was tue night of the
19th we tackled it. There tvas a
watchman on tlie premises, and we
tiomid aud gagged him and laitl him in
a comer and went to worn. The safes
»f those days were mere shells, tviiile
the tool.- were almost as perfect as
now. We had the door open in an
hour, and in ten minutes more we
*hou!U have been off with the cash,
but that infernal watchman worked
iiim.-eir loose while we were busy and
gave the alarm. There was another
.vatchiuan across the street in another
nill, aud between tin* blowing ol
whistles, ringing of bells aud shoiitiug
for help we got rattled and started off
i.hout getting a doilar.
“ We ran out tlie bark way and
through the yards, bn we e pursued

shot through the hotly by one of the
men, while I plungeu dow u among the
rocks and bushes ami got safe ott,
though badly a-eel up by sexeral falls.
1 did not know until next morning
that my partuer had been hurt, and 1
learned of Ins shooting and hi.- death
at tlie >ame time. The body was taken
in charge by tlie undertaker, and 1
deemed it wise to leave that locality.
I was in Boston when I saw a list of
numbers for Mat, ami while my

numbers over ami over again, and
there was uo mistake. An aegnt iu

itad seen it in uiy partner's w allet only
the day before he was killed. As the
coroner had taken charge o the body,
he m 1st also have the man's persoual
effects iu ills possession. 1 went over
to New York amt cooked up a plan
with a .-harp, shrewd old woman, who
at once proceeded to the place I have
not thought tiest to name to you aud
passed herself off as the dead man’s
mother. She hud every tiling so

Tlie* man had probably thrown his
wallet away while ruuuiug, that no
compromising papers might be found.
“As we did nor want the body*,which
bad of course been buried, the woman-
dropped out of sight aud I begaii. a
hunt for the wallet. In one di-guise
aud another 1 hung around the mill
and the raviuc uutii 1 had looked
every tool of ground three times over.
If tlie coroner hadn’t the wallet some
one else had. By a series of lucky
turns 1 finally discovered that oue of

keep the matter very quiet. I follow

cash, ami then followed him to a
brother of his. 200 miles away. He bad
that money in hi* possession just four

“How did lie lose it?” I asked.
“A burglar got into his brother’s

MRS. CLEVELAND’S BOUDOIR.
A Pretty Little Nook in tlae Palace
of the liaiion.
Washington Correspondence Savannah News.
At the White House everything is in
readiness for the return of President
and 31 rs. Cleveland from their summer
outing among the woods, lakes and
mountains of uorthero Ne*-v. York.
The renovation has never been more
thoroughly accomplished than this
summer. The exterior and interior
are as neat as skilled workmen can
make them, and the old structure posi
tively presents for once in its existence
most inviting appearance.
Inside the house there is a freshness
and cleanliness which will delight
Mrs. Cleveland*’* heart. The large
east room glutens with iu gilding and
White paint- The carpets look almost
good as new, while the crystal
chandeliers, relieved of their many
; rears coatiug of dust and dirr, reflect
1 itindreds of rainbows from their glass
prisms. The private parlors, too, look
neat and clean, and everything is
ready for the return of tiie bride* and
51-oom this week. Mrs.Cleveland will
>e especially charmed with tlie change
made in her pretty little boudoir.
The little room which she calls her
own ftfts dark and only lighted by one
w indow, aud that opening out under
the Ia-ge por*ico roof. While she ha*
been away, this little room has hail a
skylight put in, and now the sun will
shine 011 her through pretty stained-
glass windows. This boudoir is a re
markable room. Here Mrs, Cleveland
has gathered together all her little
souvenirs and knioknacks. Here tlie
little canary bird, bought by the Pres-
idem just before his bride came borne i
t-fhe case may be, have been brought
iuto requisition as a post-oratonal
amusement. After they have talked
to the vast crowds that everywhere
gather to hear them, aud metaphori
cally “wiped tlie floor” with each
othnr, they briug out their fiddles aud
endeavor to soothe the savages with
music. Heretofore the joint canvass
has been through the Republican
regions of the State, aud the Republi
can brother has beeu the host, so to
speak. Now it is in the Democratic
part, anil the Democratic brother be
comes the master of cereuiouies.
Every meeting adds to the excitement,
ami the duel grows fiercer with every
encounter, but it is always upon the
broad plane of principle, uever per
sonal. On one occasion there w’as
disposition to guy the Republican
w hile he w*as speaking, whereupon his
Democratic brother sprang to tlie
front of the platform and announced
that “the man who iusults my b. other
insults me.” They travel together,
sleep under the same roof, and spend
much of their leisure time together.
The ttuique spectacle has aroused an
interest in Tennessee, as well it may,
beyoml that of any former campaign.
Whoever wins there is uo doubt that
the effect of this “brotherly” antagon
ism will be an education in manners
and morals as well as knowledge be
yond that which au ordinary joint de-
b:ite is.

the platforms as laid down by John
Wesley. This doctine has been almost
lost sight of, and trampled tinder foot

a new doctriue. But the tidal wave
of entire Sanctification—full and com
plete salvation—is steadily and rapid
ly sweeping over the country, and the
number of men and women who claim
to possess this “higher state” of Chris

Several earnest and eloquent diviues

hoped much good will be the result.”

A woman'* Allowance.
Zena* Dane in Good Housekeeping.
A year or two before I was married
1 boarded one winter with a very ex
cellent family in a Western village.
The husband and father was a good
man. but he hail what his wife called
his “touchy poiuts,” and, good and
honest man thought he was, some ol
these “touchy points” were a life-long
source of actual sorrow to ills wife,
who was a good and faithful wife and
mother, tidy, thrifty and ever-watch-
fttl of the common interests, of the
family. She was economical to the
last degree, and most industrious.
She seemed to me to be a model wife
Her husband thought so, too, and
would have angrily resented any im
putation to the contrary. He taught
his children to honor and love their
mother, although failing, as it seemed
to me, in manifesting love and bopor
for her himself at all times, but these
times were only when his “touchiest
point” had been pressed upon.
One day I accidentally heard the
wile say to her eldest daughter, “No,
dear; T cannot ask yonr father for
money for you to get a new hat. Yon
know how very touchy he is on that
point. I sometimes lie awake half the
night trying to devise some method ol
scrimping 01 saying so that 1 need not
say the word *moitey* to your father.
Nothing hurts him so much as to be
asked for a little money. I dread to
think of asking him for money for any-
tliiuk.”
I was engaged to Mrs. Dane at that
time, and I made xsolemn vow thatshe-
should have u purse of her own aud
that it should never go empty if I had
anything to put in it. We have now
been married six years and 1 have
faithfully adiiered to that resolution.
And there is no “fixed sum” about It.
Household expenses, vary at different
sea.*ousot the year and under various
circumstances. Ten dollars will, per-
haps, cover all the expenses one week,
and the next may be a “canning” or a

into such a degrading act as that!
Women are often compelled to prac
tice mean, niggardly, cruel economy
in order to make their expenses conte
within the limit fixed by inexorable
husbands, who would furiously resent
any interference with their own ex
penditures.
I believe that this simple question of
the wife’s allowance has wrecked the
happiness of many a household. 3Ien
are so often blind and unfeeling aud
unreasonable in this matter. And of
eottrse tiiere are women who must
have a tight rein kept upon tnem be
cause of their tendency to willful and
woeful extravag:i nee. There is,” I
fear, little chance for happine-s in a
ie having such a mistress O'er it.

often written him of 3irs. Lane, aud
has charged him repeatedly to go and
see her, but, owim; to his* disinclina
tion for “society,** he lias (ailed to do
so. He knows that the thother would
be seriously displeased if he refused
her old friend’s invitation, and so he
writes a courteous acceptance, but;
be it said, not without some grumb
ling.
The next afternoon .about 4 o’clock
he goes down to the wharve.*, amt
after some search succeeds in finding
the Water Witfch, and is toM by tin*,
agent that the steamer has been Char
tered for tlie evening by Mrs. Lane.
A few luonieut* later he is in pleasaut
conversation with tlie lady; aud ere
the boat has left her mooring his host-
ess has presented hint to her other
guests. Some of these—the gentle
men especially—he has niet l>efore;
but. as they are not particularly con
genial to him, aud are inclined to be a
little supercilious, moreover, he grad
ually withdraws front among them.and
begins sauntering about the boat on a
tour of inspection.
Suddenly, upon the stairs, fie comes
face to face with Miss Gencvive Ward,
who Is ascending them and is laugh
ing and talking with a gentleman
beside her. 3larkitam steps aside to
allow them to pass and she looks him
full in the face, a smile of amusement
playing around her lips as she notes
his evident embarrassment. Neither
of them speaks: but he lift* his hat and
g*»es on down the steps.
“What a booby he is,” she thinks;
‘be can not look me in the face with-'
out blushing.”
His thought is this:
“What a find I um to love a woman
as heartless a-* she is. She has refused
my love and now site laughs at it. 1
shouldn't have come on this confound
ed excursion If 1 had known site was
to he of the party;’hut I suppose I ant
in for it now.”
Then he light* a cigar, but soon he
throws it away and goes up on the
open deck again. Miss Ward Is sur
rounded by a group of young society
men. and is. foolishly sitting perched
up on tlie railing which ruus round
the 0|>en space of the steamer. She
steadies hevsclf hy resting one foot oit
a chair near her, and i« laughing at
some joke told by ou**‘of her compait-
ions. -
“Confound the girl!” Markham ex
claims to himself. “I wish she would
get down from tiiere. Haven’t any of
those fellows sense enough to know
that that’s dangerous?”
He is tempted to speak to her him
self; but knowing how useless L wottltT
be, and dreading her treatment of
him, he puts awn; Men and passes
on.
A um r'-rr. iater a scream front a
worr.i's throat rings out; followed by
half dozen exclamations from the
people behind and he knows instantly
what has happened. Quick as light
ning lie turns and springs to the side
of the boat. The place Miss Ward
had occupied a moment before is va
cant aud a woman is struggling in the
water. The men who bad beeu laugh
ing about her stand silent now, dazed
by the suddenness of the accident;
among the other guests all Is confu
sion and pue woman has fainted.
Without a moment’s hesitation,
.Markham throws off his coat and hat,
steps over the railing, aud, steadying
himself for au instant, drops quickly
iuto the river below; at the same time
a bell rings in the engine room andihe
great wheels of the steamer are stop
ped. There are excited cries and many
us much to.do in
j shaping his actions during hb» pilgrim-
| age through this troublesome world,

ent or expectant money in pocket
or stored away in bauk. It is ia con
ceded fact that we-appear as our blood

the water. It seems an eternity before
he rises to the top again, but when he
does he shakes the water out of his
eyes and strikes out swiftly tow ard the
spot where a white straw' hat is tossed
up and down on the waves made by
the steamer. He swims easily, hand

'They w'ere soon on board the steamer

Two hours later, and when the moon
Is silvering all the world. Miss Ward,
dressed in her own clothes—\(hich the
clever stewardess has dried and ironed
—comes out of the cabin. A crowd of
friends gather around her. and among
them the youug fel.mvs with whom
she spent the part, of the evening.
These last she snubs rather severely,
aud then joins Markham, who is
standing near the- railing, and says,
lightly.
