senior to Tiaye any share in the mis
chief. Yet, only three nights before
tbe Commencement the students “made
things howl,” and Tom Anstrnthev was
head and front of the offending. They
nailed up over the chapel door tbe sign,
“To Providence and way-station,” sto
len from the railroad. They serenaded
obnoxious members of the faculty in
terms any thing but flattering. They
built a huge bonfire on the campus and
indulged in a promiscuous song and
dance performance around it.
In the midst of the uproar there was
the cry of “Faculty! Faculty!” followed
by an in bint liuBh. The students scat
tered in all directions, Anstruther as
fast ns any—faster, indeed, when he
found himself closely followed. His
particular pursuer appeared to be one
os the younger and more active of the
professors, who quite caught the spirit of
the chase. Tom found it impossible
to sbake him off. Was the valedictori
an of tho graduating class to be caught
thus ignominious!y?
An open basement window gave him
an inspiration. He sped past it; then,
doubling cleverly, on his foe, sprang
through it,and laughed to hear his foot
steps grow fainter in hot pursuit up the
staeet.
Uo stairs L >tta Desmond was brush
ing out her pretty brown hair prepara
tory to retiring. Oa her daintily frilled
toilet table, looking oddly out of
place, lay cousin Jim’s revolver. There
had been a great, many jokes about that
revolver. Her uncle aud cousin had
s< ,lem lily installed Lotta as the man of.
the house during their absence. Jim
had reminded her of the exploits of
brave Mrs. Brown and plucky Mrs. Pe
ters, as recorded by the Daily Chronicle.
The first of these Indies had, alone
and unarmed, jjeld a burglar captive un
til help came. The second, under like
circumstances, had completely routed
wo villians
And Lotta had demanded Jim’s pistol,
declaring that she only longed for a
chance to emulate her heroism. Ai.d
Jim had promised to-watch the pnpers
for a similar mention ordering Miss
Desmond.
Bo Lotta .-nulled when her eyes fell on
the pistol, for ns yet no opportunity
for glory had come to her, and Jim
would be homo to-morrow.
Just then her aunt came into tho
room, fancying, just as she had fancied
every night since her husband's depart
ure, that she “heard a noise, aud would
dear Lotta, who was so ferrless, mind
going down stairs to investigate?”
So Lotta thrust her little bare feet in
to slippers, threw on a wrapper aud sal
lied forth . pistol in hand.
Aunt Liicy detained her with a last
word— in case it shovld bo any
one. to “let her know immediately—iur
mediately! but otherwise uot to disturb
her, as she was extremity fatigued.”
Witlib dim recollectiou that the diu-
ing room window had not been closed,
the young girl made ner noiseless way
thither at once. The gas had been put
out aud a miserable candle had been left
burning. What Lot hi saw by its dim
light was a tall young man, rather
roughly clad.
Alas! Tom, usually something of a
dandy, had that nighi donned his poor
est array, his haiT disordered,his clothes
grimmed with dust and soot, from
which not even his face had escaped,
stood cooly examining her uncle’s silver.
Spirit of Mrs. Brown and Mrs. —the
other lady'—inspired her.
“Diop that or I fire!”
Tom turned with a start. What he saw
was a pretty girl with a charming ne
glige, whose voice and hand'both shook
ns she uttered this doughty threat, arid
in whose face a certain determination, a
look of one frightened at her own dar
ing, appealed to his sense of Immor.
Bnt it would never do to iangk at her.
Besides that pistol in her uncertain, un
familiar hand was no joke. So he said
with due humility:
“I surrender. Bat for heaven’s sake
put up that pistol! Yon are as likely
to shoot yourself as me.”
“.Not at all,” evidently nettled, “I am
perfectly accustomed to nsing it.”
Need it be said that tbiswasa de
liberate lie, uttered with intent of
striking terror to the bosom of the rob
ber?
For some purpose Lotta continued to
level her pistol and eye him with mnch
outward severity and uot a few inward
tremors, thinking withal that your

arrive.
To him the situation was not without
its charm. It does not happen often to
any of ns that a pretty girl will insist
on sitting next ns and holding otir
hands—and that she was pretty, ex'
ceedingly pretty Anstruther mangaged
to satisfy liimself in spite of the stingy
light.
Once or twice he addressed a remark
to his fair captdr, but site discouraged
all attempt at convertion.
And so they sat iu silence, while the
candle burned low and finally went
out, and the cold gray light of dawn
crept into the room. Even this did not
cause Lotta to change her position.
And, looking curiously at her, the
young man discovered that his stern
guardian was asleep.
How long and dark were the. lashes
resting on the fair cheek, he thonglit
gazing down at the sweet, peaceful face
framed in its wealth of nnt-brown hair.
Surely, none of the young lady’s ball
dresses could set off her beauty as did
that old blue wrapper,
Tom war. strongly tempted in his
character of robber to steal a kiss, bat
there was a certain odd chivalry iu
his composition that kept him from ta
king any advautage of her unconscious
ness. He withdrew his hands from her
without awakeuiug licr—such cold, lit
tle, soft hands! And no wonder. Tho
chill breath of early morning made
him shiver, although it was Juno.
He might as well make her comforta
ble before he went. Ho groped his
way into the hall. On the hat-stand
lay a heavy shawl. Iu it he wrapped
his nncoucious captor as well as he
could, then left through the still opon
window.

If Miss Desmoud wa3 not the belle of
the college ball it was because, strictly
speaking, there are no longer belles of
bnBs. Bnt, in the language of the
other yonng ladies, she “received a
great deal of -attention.” And how she
did enjoy herself.
About the eleventh hour ccnsin Jim
begged to introduce his fried Mr. Au-
strnther.
Lotta’s large eyes grew larger with
astonishment. Mr. Anstruther compos
edly requested the pleasure of a dance,
and before she could collect herself suf
ficiently to refuse, his arm encircled
her and they were gliding over the pol
ished floor iu perfect time aud meas
ure.
“You have ray step exactly,” said
Miss Desmond when they had stopped.
“Have I? Then it must be direct in
spiration, for I never was kuown to
keep time with any oue before.
Now did ever a man waltz to perfec
tion without kuowiug it? Lotta looked
at him a little contemptuously. Her
thought did him injustice. 1’om was
not a Seeing modesty, only mnkiug talk
to keep off tho question he expect
ed.
“May I take yon iuto tbe library?
There is an anxious looking youth I
should like to avoid. I suspect that I
have stolen his dance.”
“If you have you are only pursuing
yonr prof essicn as a robber,” laughed
Miss Desmon d. “What were yon do
ing that night in uncle’s dining-room?”
Then it a 11 came out, and Tom ex
plained and apologized, seated in an al
cove of the great College library.
“And how frightened you were when
I and the pistol appeared upon tho
scene,” said the yonng lady malicious
ly.
“I was not!” indignantly.
“You turned very pale.”
“Then we mast have been a well-
matched pair for courage. The pistol
shook so in yonr hand tliatl was afraid
it would go ofl accidentally. That was
the worst feature of tbe cose,forldo not
yet believe that you would have been
bloodthirsty enough to shoot me.”
“I am sore I would not. I was im
mensely relieved to wake up-and find
my captive fled.”
“Wbat did yon do?”
“Counted the spoons and went to
bed.”
“The spoons were all right. There
was but one thing stolen that night.”
“Mercy! what was that?”
“Only the burglar’s heart”—senti
mentally.
Lotta looked at him and began to
laagk. Then she said:
“You might advertise for it* as people
do for stolen articles. You might say,
“Of uo value to any one bnt the
owner.’ ”
“Thank yon, bnt I am not sure that I
want it returned.” said Anstruther,
laughing too,-bat letting his eyes rest
upon her fair face until the warm color
surged up beneath his gaze.
“Thou hast a thief in eitbtr e7&
Would steal it
“Before that fellow comes fiatl‘t yoa
promise me one more dance?” mur
mured Anstrnther.
“I am engaged for all bnt, tho last.
I can give yon that one if yon are going
to stay till the end.”
How Miss Desmond contrived to pac
ify the rightfnt claimant, and how part
ner succeeded partner until the end of
the evening need not be told. It is
certain that she enjoyed fio dance os
she did the last one with Tom. And
then Tom’s worst enemy could not crit-
cise has dancing..
As he relinquished heir to her consin’s
care. Anstruther heaved a sigh of exag
gerated but very real regret.
Then Lotta pat oat an impulsive lit
tle hand and said hastily:
“Mr. Burglar, if yon can conquer
votir fancy for entering people’s wi n-
dows enough to call in a more ortho
dox way, I shall be pleased to Seo
you.”
“Thank yon,” mnrmnred Anstrnther,
pressing the soft, warm hand with
quick, unnecessary warmth.
“Happy Is tho wooing that’s not long a-ttolng."
The acquaintance so oddly begun
was prosecuted with ardor. Lotta’s
burglar laid hot siege to her affections,
and before long induced her to set np
housekeeping—I had almost written
housebreaking—with him.
SHE KOI AX AM) ARTHUR,
Missouri iiepublicflil.
Secretary Sherman was fairly cor
nered in liis Cincinnati speech, Monday,
when, iu answer to the question why
ho turned Gen. Arthur, now republican
candidate for vice-president, out of
the New Fork enstom house, he re
plied :
“I have never said one word im
pugning Gen. Arthur’s honor and in
tegrity as a man aud as a gentleman;
but he was not in harmony with the
views of'the Administration in the man
agement of tho custom house. While I
would not, perhaps, have recommend
ed his nomination, yet I would vote for
him for Vice-President a million times
before I would vote for William H. Eu_
fclish.’
This is very dramatic, but it is very
thin. The point, of it is this: that the
Secretary would not recommend the
nomination of Gen. Arthur: he is not
the sort of man he would like to vote
for, still, as a republican, he will voto
for him rather than - for a Demo
crat.
Meantime, let us see what was the
real reason for turning Gen. Arthnr
out or ofliee. Secretary Sherman said,
iu his letter to Mr. Hayes, recommend
ing the removal:
“He has made “he custom house a
centre of partisan political manage
ment-.”
“Gross abuses of administration have
continued and increased during his in
cumbency.”
“Persons have been regularly paid
by him who have rendered little or no
service; the expenses of liis ofliee in
creased, while its receipts have dimin
ished. Bribes, or gratuities in tbe
shape of bribes, have been received by
liis subordinotes in several branches of
the custom bouse, and he has in no case
supported the effort to correct these
abases.
In Mr. Hayes’ letter to wen. Arthur
notifying him of his removal, be says:
“With a deep sense of my obliga
tions under the constitution, I regard
it my plain dnly to suspend yon in or
der that the office may be honestly ad
ministered.”
A tiOOJD YEAR FOR STATISTICS;
What Cong ressman Hurd Says.
New Yoek, Ang. 27.—Among the
callers at the national democratic head
quarters yesterday was Congressman
Frank Hurd, of Ohio. He said that he
left home on thd day after his renomi
nation for Congress and had been ab
sent ever since. Mr. Hurd continued:
“Daring my absence I have been in re
ceipt of % large correspondence and
have also seen a large nnmber of my
Ohio friends. All of my information
has been of a most encouraging charac
ter. I have little doabt of the result in
October and November. I believe that
the republican party has a great disap
pointment in store for them. The dem
ocracy of the states are united and en
thusiastic. The organization at present
is very affective, and is being improved
every day. Many republicans, to my
own knowledge, have openly declared
their intention to support Gen. Han
cock, and a large percentage of tbn Na
tional party are also fallirg into line.—
Gen, Hancock is stronger in Ohio than
Mr. Tilden was in 1876, and Garfield’s
strength in that state this year is^Sot
comparable to Haye’s strength in the
last Presidential race. "Yet in October,
1876> without any aid from the national
committee, the'dcmoeracy kept down
the republican plurality to 3,000 in a
to,tal' vote of over 600,00.0. The demo-;
crats this year \will get every v'ote they
did in 1876,a large percentage of the na
tional vote and a number of former r>
. Scientific American
Besides being a “census year,” 1880
has the distinction of showing the
largest foreign commerce, both in ex
ports and imports, eVet known in the
history of the country. The grand to
tal for the fiscal year ended June 30
amounts to 51,503,679.489, an increase
of 30 per cent on tho foreign trade of
1870, and about 81 per cent on that of
ten years ago. Tho “balance of trade”
in onr favot, or tho excess of exports
over imports, amount to 5167.90S,359,
although we have imported, as partial
payment of this balance, 575,891,391 in
gold and silver coin and bullion, more
than our coin and bullion exports; it is
probable, however, that no inconsidera
ble proportion of the remainder has
been taken up as tbe profits of carriers,
a service in which American ships rind
Comparatively little employment.
There io hardly an intelligent Amerix
can bat wonld feel greater pride than is
now possible were the large exports we
are making fio a more considerable ex
tent of minufaetnred articles. Tbe
onormons increase in shipments has
been made np almost exclusively of
breadstuff:), cotton, and provisions,
while in mannfaclnred articles our for
eign trade for the past year has be al
most at a standstill. The principal ex
planation of this is probably to be
found iu the great and sudden advance
in prices which took place last fall, with
the general revival of trado here, but
values have again dropped, in most ar
ticles, nearly to where they were a year
ago. aud those who are endeavoring to
enlargo the foreign market forj Ameri
can manufactured goo’s aro now work
ing under more favorable conditions
than they have been at any previous
time within the last twelve months. It
may bo interesting, however, To note
that in some important specialties of
American manufacture the export shows
an increase. Tbo complete figures have
uot yet been collected from alt the cus
tom houses for the year, but, takiug the
last statement of the Treasury Depart
ment, which brings down the retnrns to
May 31, we find that there lias been a
small increase iu our shipments of all
the following articles: Plows and cul
tivators; railroad, passenger.and freight
car a; car wheels; stationary steam en
gines; fire-arms; cannon, and gunpow
der; clocks, aud parts of mathematical,
philosophical, nnd optical Instruments;
organs and melodeons; paper and sta
tionery ;prin ting presses and typejscales
and balances; wines; tin and manufac
tures of; and wntches and ports of.—
That we have been able not only tc hold
oar own, but actually «to increase our
exports in all these specialties during a
j ear when I ho home market lias been so
disturbed, presents an outlook for the
fidure which contains much of prpmise.
When, however, we turn tp ; our imf_,
ports, and fitid that they exceed those
of 1879 by 50 per cent, and. that many
of the articles which help to make- up
the increase arc such as we excel in the
manufacture of, and on which have to
pay a high duty, we then are presented
with a practical demonstration of the
cheapness of 1 ibor aud capital. in Eu
rope and tbe far more favorable situa
tion of all classes here. Tnese increased
imports are of .every description of sta
ple nnd fancy articles, but the larger
trade.is principally conspicuous in man-
faefnrers ot cqtt-iu, flax, iron nnd steel,
silk,ami wool, Onr nwu manufacturers
iu alt these lines have had a full busi
ness, biit, besides what they have pro
duced, we have been taking liberal sup
plies from abroad iu exchange for our
Jjonntifnl agricultural products. The
circumstances under which this trade
has been done, showing no accumula
tion of foreign indebtedness, and a lib
er«l balance to onr credit abroad, to be
covered by gold shipments to this coun
try, are more favorable to onreoniinned
prosperity than they have ever been in
any former period of excessive imports.
A New York letter says: “Senator
Conkling is credited with having re-
mared Tuesday that the Republican Na
tional Committee is making a great mis
take in scattering its'fire in other states,
instead cf concentrating upon New
York. He thinks the other states may
safely be left to take care of themselves,
but that there is imminent peril of
losing New York. The isones he says,
pertain to principles, and. not to candi

the National and state committees onght

and industrial classes with a view of
convincing them that the Democratic

rAfcTS AltOET CHEESE.
Scientific American.
The Mohawk Valley has lost its rank
ns the centre of the cheeso industry of
the United States. Tho new head cen
tre is at Wellington, Ohio. The sur
rounding country abonuds in cheese
aud bit ttet factories. The principal
Cheese man in the state,Mr. C. W. Horr,
has his establishment there, and it is
one of tho hygest in the country. In a
recent interview with a correspondent
of the Cleveland Leader, Mr. Horr re
ported a very active demand for cheeso
at very satisfactory prices. The home
consumption liaS been greater this year
than last, aud the demand for export
has been much increased. *
The April milk this year netted about
100 per cent more than List year, tho
May milk about 80 per cent more, the
June fully 40 per cent more, and for
July the estimate was 50 per cent more
tliau for last year. Tho prospect for
the remaining four cheese months was
very good. The yield per Cow has also
been more than last year, though not
quite so many cows have been milked.
The chief American cheese districts
comprise a small portion of New York,
part of tlie Western Reserve in Ohio, a
few counties in Illinois, Kansas, Michi
gan, I iwa, Vermont, anil Pennsylvania,
and a good many counties in Wiscon
sin, New York.' nnd Ohio, lead in the
order named. Wellington, Ohio, is the
largest country market, as shown by last-
year's statistic® Little Falls.and Utica
N. Y.. stand next. Wellington shipped
1.500.000 pounds more better aud clieeseU-
than Litile- Fads last * year, the totJr I'
shipment amounting to about 9,000,000
pounds.
During the past five years about 110,-
000,000 pounds liuvo been expaSEe^ an
nually; the rest is gpnrumcd ift tlic Uni
ted States. Most of the exported goes
to Great Britain, which in 1878 took
over 120,000,000 pounds, and. last year
a much larger quantity. The foreign
demand for American cheese is increas
ing, but.not so rapidty-a^it did tel
years ago. From 1860 to K65, owin,
to the introduction of the clicssefactor
system in this country, the increase was
tremendous. Since then the increase
lms not been so rapid, but it has been
steady. The export this year lian been
larger than the last, bnt not so large as
1878. Comm nciug with the last week
in May, there were exported during the
following eight weeks of 1878, aboitt
507.000 packages -of cheese; during the
corresponding weeks of 1S79, abont
525.000 pacKages, aud of 1880, abont
635.000 packages.
The foreign trade in American cheeso
is almost exclusively for what is called
factory chesse, and covers every grade
and quality, from tbe poorest skim milk
cheeses to tne richest full cream. The
bulk of the poorest grades of cheese
made in America goes' to England, wbpre
thO; poorer classes nse it in the place, of
meat. Wero it not for the market thus
furnished for the cheaper grades of

thing in its time, and it soon became
perfectly easy to do so. It is to this
habit that I now owe my prosperity.

will go with Mahone. We are solid for*

In opposition to tbo short sighted-

soldiers who fought its battles. Wtf

any more than -luder tho Constitution

gseat reason of the continuous hoffl

because their presence there is felt to
be a constant rebnke to the politicians
of the North, who spout from the stomp
