When will these eld fellown," laughed his friend, "take the leeeons Fopo hfw so graphically read us?December must not wed May P Ta, t&! Remember I'm booked for the Benedict ceremony." The two gentlemen botween whom the above conversation parsed on tho steps of a West End club now parted?the one addressed as Howett, known among his loss familiars as Captain Hcwett, proceeding to go by train to Colonel Harding's villa, at Eichmond. Arriving thero, in due course, he woe epcedily introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Harding; after exchanging greetings with whom, he was summoned to see the Colonel in the library. Tho ladies were surprised at the haste displayed, ami could not refrain from remarking on the subject. "Whatever is that for ?" Kate remarked, when the officer had gone. "To sign your maniage-wuiemoiii, sroiled Mrs. Harding. "Nonsense! By tho way, momma, do you not think papa lias looked altered lately ?" ''For many days I have B(*en it, Kate. I fear something is wroug." ."Then I fancy he might confide it to you instead of the Captain." "Tine!" Mrs. Harding's lips perceptibly contracted; then she added?"Kate, I forgot to tell my maid about the trimmings for my dress next Friday. Would you mind doing so ?" Hieing, the young girl readily went on her mission, when the other's entire manner changed. Her expression became firMTrn Klin Oflnt. airida Vtpr fa*~" -> r~-r work ejid leaned lier head upon her hand. "Can my husband possibly suspect ?" she murmured. "Thero w a change in him ! Kate sees it, too ! Then there must be a cause ! Can he have found us out ? If so, everything is ruined?ruined !" She paused; then added?"I must bo oortain? I will!" Hurriedly throKing a shawl of Kate's that had laid on a sofa near, about her, she passed throught the open glass doors into the flower-garden. Going to the side of the villa, cautiously ?be crept through a shrubbery of lilacs *nd syringas, until she cstjne within sight and hearing of the two in the library, the window of which was open. Charles Hcwctt was leaning back in a chair; the Colonel, a. handsome, olderly, militarydooking man, sat by the table. His brows contracted, his features exprerire of pain and anger blended. He had eyi dtiuUJ UCUU Bpv;aa.iug vuucmcuuj, ?uu Uiclaimed, as the listener came within range ?"I wouldn't havo believed it of her! Of all women, I would have staked my life on the fidelity ot Constance ! When you hinted that you had seen a fellow suspiciously lounging about the villa, I thought nothing about it; but Jackson, the undergardener, declares that it is true." The listener became livid with rago. Her suspicions were well founded. "What do you intend doing?" asked Captain Hewett. "That is my perplexity. To accuse her on the word of an undor-gardener seems preposterous; and the Colonel uneasily drummed the table with his finders. "Something must be done," he snid.

The Colonel's wife had flown. ?Tf ntrr n? lar^v wnnid An It MmmH h#Hl"? olf," ho thought, "Kate will inherit the Colonel's wealth. It is nothing." he said loud, resuming hu seat. Trembling at her narrow eecape, Mr*. Harding hastened from the shrubbery. Just as she emerged, she ran violently against a man. "Robert! Tell mo, what ajpo yctt doing Kerer "Ten thousand pai*lon? !

"How good you are!" he said. "I only oame to say I hnva prepared everything for our flight on Friday." "Hush ?' she answered, as she fled from 2iim. Five minutes aftor, the side door opened, a white hand beckoned, and soon the stranger was again seated, with lockec doors, in Mra Harding's boudoir. The next day, by no means to the surprise of Lis wife, the Colonel announced that business would take him to Lon don in the evening, and detain him unti late. Mrs Harding expressed her sorrow a1 his departure, anl begged him to haatei back.

"It must have beon a confounded house maid/' ho growlod. "She couldn't hari seen me." He passod on towards a break hi thi bonndary hedge, by which he quitted thi place and roa-ched the main road. Had ho been a quarter of an hour Later he would purely have encountered a gen tloraan using tho samo moans to enter it Quickly but cautiously, he made his wai t-o a half-docayed eltu-tmi, at the foot o which grew fern3 anl burdock.

Pressing the fragment passionatoly t his lips, the man placed a reply in thi same place, then withdrew. Tt woe on the morning of the evontfu Friday that Colonel Harding enterec Captain Hewott's apartments at Rich mond. "George!" ho exclaimed, "no man was eve in greater perplexity than I.

The Col&nel went to tho dinner, and thi gentlemen had long been loft to their wine when a footman whispered to tho officer hi was wanted. Making an excuse, hi withdrew, and found the Captain in tin hall. "Come home," said the lattor "I mus speak to you at once." The Colonel, growing pale, followed hin into the road. "What is it ?"

The true statement was this: Captau Howctt had soon a cab waiting near th villa. ConcoaUng himself, he had per ooived ? gentleman, escorting a lady thick ly veiled and cloakod, como through th< break in the hedge, hurriedly cross the in tcrvening field, enter the cab, and drive o2 after giving the direction, "The railwa; station?for London.''

One shall no leave the field," "Why, goodness gracious, my love, hot early you are back! I hope nothing is wrongI" exclaimed a pleasant voice. 2 Both gentlemen swung round on thai heel, with an ejaculation of surprise, fo there, in the doorway, looking charming ii her evening dress, was Mrs. Harding. "You here, Constance!" "Hero 1 Why, where should I be dear ?" The Colonel looked at tho Captain, *n< vk-c vrrsa.

For some years tho Press has been calling e attention to tho growth and importance of the pottery interests in the United States, 3 demonstrating tho value of an industry to ' the whole country (and to all classes), all 3 the materials for which are found at homo. " Under the caption, "America aa an Export2 or of Crockery," we pointed out that, hav11 ' * - - ' 1 aAA*n lag all me elements uvm, ib miguu own ^ prove that we would cease to import and begin to supply other oountries with Amer1 ican China. We were not aware at the time that what we ventured as a prognosj tication, based upon genoral principles, was already an accomplished fact. It in, there^ fore, with the ^aoatoet pleasure that we announce that in one line of porcelain we already meet and compete with tho English in their colonial mavkots. At the extensive Union Porcelain Works at Grocnpoint, N. Y., a full variety of porcelain knobs and hardware trimmings are made, u well aa other chinaware for the table. 3 When thc?? works began, the price of ccrtoin knoba was $12 per 1,000, but tbe I competition between the Now York and the I m.l-nrr! VaO WOW fflfPlvl th? Tirice ? XIVWWU ?.. A down to loss than $3 per thousand. Thua 3 tho protoctir? tariff, which encouraged 1 these m&auf&cturors to onter upon the busl ineee, has cheapened the products to the 1 consumer, whilo at the some time all coli lateral industrios aro benefited. Boal esi tate owners, farmers, coal operators and railway interests; in fact, tha whole State i participate ia the advantages conferred by b the establishment and maintenance of - home industries. England began by an absolute prohibib tion of the importation of china, and con ferroi honors ? well deserTed? upon ? Wedgcwood, who wm tho creator, almost, f of the great business of potting in his own j country. England's tariff was not taken 0 off tail witiiin a comparatively i?w jcjvjtb; - not, indeed, till she found she hod no need ? of it. Now that she ie encircled bj a prao tacally prohibitory tariff, she asserts the >j spacious but delusive policy of free trade, and wheedles the strong, and coerces the 6 weak nations to a-lopt a policy which can 7 bring grist only to her mill. 1 A tariff in this country diffuses ita benet ficial influences all over the State; for no Boouer is a new industry established and f proTed profitable at one point than compet1 ing establishments start up in other localitioB, and a commercial cut-throat course r entered upon, 6o that th? nation ia doubly r and trebly benefitted by ita establishment. 1 If Europe has honored Bottger, Pallisy and Wedgowood, and reflected credit upon here elf by bo doing, we should honor and S protect our pottere and their trade.?Philad.lph.ia I'rcs*. 1 -J * Fetediks Sheet and moos.?rror. mues, a of the Michigan Agricultural College, has reportod some very accurately conducted 9 experiments made at that college in feeding sheep and hogs.
