Immediately cries for liolp arose from

"? iho woniuled. The night, happily,
.as 11 jt dark, aud in the pale gleam ot
tho nvou those who were uninjured prooeded
to rescue their loss fortunate
l>\-ethren from the ruins. The position
of two of the ears, inclined sharply,
made this difficult, but more trying and
dangerous stil! was tlie recovery of the
passengers iu the baggage aud lirst pas:
enger ear, which had broken through
the ice aud were tilled above the seats
with nater.
Geuerous help was given by the people
of TariiFvi lie. many of whom hastened
to the scene upon hearing the crash,
while others were summoned by the
sharp peals of the church bells. Two
long and weary hours were occupied in
this work before the last living person
had been removed from the wreck, i
Many were able to limp painfully away,
but for others less fortunate the workers
improvised rude sledges, constructed of
saplings and cushioned with car seats,
upon which the sufferers were drawn
across the ice to the shore. All were
taken to the cars remaining upon the j
track, and those who had been immersed
in the water reached them with chatter- !
ing teeth and garments partly frozen to j
their benumbed bodies.
The living saved, the dead next claimed \
attention. Those not embedded between I
the fragments of the wreck were easily j
recoverable, for the slow current was
sufficiently stroug to sweep the bodies
down stream. One l.y one they came to j
view in all their ghastliuess. The appearance
of the bodies indicated deatli
from drowning in every instance, and
upon none were therejany indications of
wounds or contusions. Later in the day j
the wrecking party recovered from the
ruins the bodies of five young men, all
lying close together. The deceased
were on the platform of one of the cars
at the t'me of the accident, and as no injuries
indicating crushing are apparent
it is evident that they were drowned by
being pressed uuder the wreckage.
Prison Etiquette.
"Five Years' Penal Servitude" is the
title of a book recently published in
London, aud written by "one who
endured it." The London Times says:
"Two very remarkable pieces of information
as to life in a prison comes out
in this volume, illustrating the inconsistencies
of human nature, and showing
that the public feeling, if it may be so
termed, in n convict prison mky in some
features be as high as in the best ordered
community. One is that 'it is noi
etiquette among.prisoners to ask a man
what he is "in for." If a man wants to
be communicative on the subject of his
own affairs that is another thing; but
until he is uo qu' stions are to be asked.'
ltTappears to us that this custom shows
i of fpelinff and a resnect for
those who may feel repentance and
shame for their crimes which few would
have expected to find among criminals,
and most certainly indicate that those
who lay down and those who follow such
a rule of conduct cannot be altogether and
entirely corrupt and irreclaimable. The
other is 'the respect the men paid to
those who had the courage to go upon
their knees morning and night to praj-.'
tie is speaking of his first night in the
room in which at that time some of the
prisoners at Dartraonr lived in assoeia
tion, and he says :
" 4 Here were sixty-eight men and two
officers. X?>w, who, thought I, will
have the moral courage to face sneers
and derision, or jokes, and kneel before
he begins his day's work or lays his
head upon his pillow ? I thought of this
just before bed time. Presently a bell
sounded. "Tables down," called the
warden. ? * ? The warden's voic'.is
heard again. "Men who wish to say
their prayers, one step to the rear.
Silence and order for prayers." Five
minutes was the time allowed, and by
tu.it time all men had finished their
petitions to their Heavenly Father, and
Md risen to their feet, resumiucr
j>ifti*es iu the ranks. I wasmast agreeably
surprised at seeing so many. 1
think, on an average, there wore nearly
one-fifth of,the whole. I never onie
heard a remark from the most hardened
;a derision or disparagement of thisprac
t tee.'"
Harriet Lane and "Dolly" Madison.
A Washington correspondent says:
" Harriet Lane, President Buchanan's
niece, who presided over his household,
and who is now the wife of Henry Elliott
Johnson, a Baltimore merchant, is probably
the most beautiful woman who ever
lived in the White House. She was a
golden blonde with violet eyes, and came
to Wiishington after a career of dazzling
brilliancy iu the royal court of England.
A British man-of-war was named after
her by order of her majesty the queen.
Her receptions at the White House are
remembered as the most brilliant ever
known, fftid old residents here will never
cease telling of them. "Dolly" Madison
was a different woman?more like
Mrs. Hayes. She really presided at the
White House for sixteen years. During
Jefferson's administration, while her
husband was secretary of state, and, imv
mediately after, during her husband's
eight years term as Pres dent. So popular
was she, that an act of Congress was
passed unanimously conferring upon her
i he franking privilege for life, and the
Senate unanimously adopted a resolution
.-dmitting her to the floor ox its chamber.
She was the onlywoman upon whom these
honors were ever couierred. " uoiiy "
Madison continued to live in Washington
jifter lier husband's death, and erected a
Louse on .Lafayette square, diagonally
opposite from where Charles Sumner
iised to live. She died there in 1849,
and lipr obituary in the National Intellif/cnccr
announced that she was the most
popular woman in America
Tliey Caught their Do?.
Tho Newburgh (N. Y.) Journal says :
v couple of young Newburghers were
ut hunting with a pointer dog. They
. topped at one place and bent over a
apiing, to which they attached a snare
nd a piece of bait. The thing was arv
inged so that when an animal touched
the bait the sapling would fly up and
he brute be caught in the noose. The
ads left their trap and went on, with
yes open for other game. Some time

Turkish Romance.
Iu the regin of pood Abdul-Aziz, a j
young vender of portable drugs in the
streets or Constantinople, was surprised
one day to catch sight of a delicate feminine
hand waving to him from a passing
carriage. Before he could so much
as hazard a guess as to the identity of
the fair mvsterious stranger, the vehicle
was souie distance away. "A bold
daughter of the Giaour," thought the
peripatetic merchant, concluding that it
was an audacious coquette, from some
one of the hotels frequented by foreign
travelers, who had wafted him the half
covert salute in a spirit of romautic
mischief. A handsome enough fellow
hr was, and not unconscious of it; but
withal, too stolid to be loug exercised in
his fancy by an incident of this description.
That afternoon, however, he was
followed into his humble home in the
suburbs, by a slave of the sultan's liven',
who said, tersely : " Your name is Malimoud
Damat." The surprised drug
vender nodded rather tremulously.
"And you are unmarried?" Another
nod. "Then," added the imperial
slave, "you are commanded by the
Princess Emineh to attend at the palace
to-morrow, where she will see you."
When, after a low bow, this odd messenger
iiad departed. Mahmoud was
rather more alarmed than flattered at
thoeharacter of the summons. The Princess
Emiueh, daughter of the late
Abdul-Mejid, and niece of the reigniug
sultan, was celebrated throughout the
whole sublime caliphate for her selfwilled
ways and endless eccentricities,
and it was popularly believed that the
amiable Abdul-Aziz would indulge her
iu auv whim for the sake of peace. Had
she been married and become the
mother of a son during her father's reign,
that sou would have succeeded AbdulAziz
; whereas the latter now proposed
that his own son should be the next
sultan. Thus was Emineh of less royal
consequence iu her uncle's court than
she might have been ; yet she had her
own way in all matters concerning her
own ungovernable self, and it was currently
reported that 6he took particular
delight in all manner of startling extravagances.
It was, therefore, with fear and
trembling that the unexpectedly honored
vender of drugs betook himself to the
palace at the appointed hour; nor was
he reassured when an officer, after asking
his name, bade him follow to the
presence of the great Padishah himself.
But fear gave way to incredulous exhiliration
when Abdul-Aziz, without
prelude, conferred upon him the rank
of Bey, and then bade him rejoice for
that the Princess Emineh had chosen
him above an army of noble suitors for
her husband ! The prostrate Mahmoud
knew not whether to believe his ears or
not. Attendants robed him fittingly
for the interview, and he was led before
the strong-minded niece of the sultan
like a man in a dream. Hearing from
her own unhesitating lips that she had
often beheld him from her carriage
until her heart preferred him above
every other man she had ever seen, he
presented himself anew, and prayed the
Prophet that it might not all be an illusion
and a vision.
I It was no illusion, however. In a
week's time the lucky fellow was created
a pasha, and in a fortnight the headstroug
Emineh married him without
public parade of any kind. With the
: honeymoon passed away all the bride;
groom's awkwardness in the novel situ.'*
tion, and his natural shrewdness am
good sense resumed full sway. Instead
of presuming upon his elevation to tnke
part in politics and courtly intrigue, he
I took pains to conciliate all parties by a
modest, quiet bearing; devoting himself
chiefly to certain legitimate business
contracts with the government, and
i gaining the particular friendship of his
wife's brother, Abdul-Hamid. It is sai'1
that he made great sums by bis c m:
tracts. Be that as it might, he ir-ini
tained a permanent ascendancy, bo; h at
! court and with the public, during all
j the changes and disorders preluding tn>%
| present Russo-Turkish war. Pojr
j Abdul-Aziz was deposed by the turbulent
Softas, and committed suicide.
| Then came the brief episode of Mourad,
| the Princess Emineh's half-brother, who,
I after a short lease of power, wentmelanI
choly mad, and was placed in a palatiaf
| asylum at Taheragan. To him succeed:
ed the now reigning sultan, Abul Hamid,
after whose accession the influence of
Mahmoud Damat became paramount in
the highest councils of the Sublime
Porte. This, too, although there was a
recent breach between the eccentric
princess and her low born husband.
The sultan upholds his mother-in-law
against the passionate |Emineh, and
would, it is believed, have forced the
i office of grand vizier upon him if he had
not been recently invalided by an apo
I plectic stroke. But Mourad, the ex;
sultan. sides with the princess, ami the
i question has assumed the aspect of a
hitter political issue between the respective
partisans of the half-brothers in
Constantinople.
Indeed, the anti-court parly of the excited
Turkish capital claim that it was
through the overwhelming influence of
Mahmond Damat in cabinet councils
that the line of the Danube was not
defended: that Suleiman Pasha was
bnffl?d in Shipka Pass, and that reinforcements
did not reach Osman Pasha
in time to save Plevna. Public irritation
under national reverses must find a
scapegoat; and in this case it is the now
perilously sick ex-vender of nostrums
and husbaud of a princess, whose bio
graphy, as given here upon current his,
toricai authority, sounds like a story
i from the Arabian Nights.
Lite of the Harriet Lane.
A recent issue of the New Orleans
Picayune has the following: There is
now tied np at the wharf, a little above
Jackson street, a three-masted ship,
which attracts by the beauty and symmetry
of its appearance. She looks like
a vessel which is able to cut her way
through the water with exceptional
speed aud grace, and the facts do not
contradict the seemingness. She is
sharp and lengthened in build, aud suggests
the idea of about sixteen or seventeen
knots an hour in a favorable wind.
The vessel is now called the Ritchie, and
Capt. T. W. Hutchiuson, an able aud
experienced officer, is at present and has
been for years, her commander. She is
now loadiDg for Boston, aud will probable
leave by the end of next week.
This vessel has got a history which is
entwined with that of the late, struggle
between the North and the South. Stie
was built in 1858, and launched in 1859,
and the name Hairiet Lane was conferred
in honor of the niece of President Buchanan.
She was then a revenue cutter,
aidewheel steamer, and performed many
offices of honor. In 1862 she was captured
at Galveston in an extraordinary
way. Approaching the city, protected
by seven gufts, she was attacked by two
small vessels, the Bayou City and Neptune.
Neither craft had a heavy gun on
board, but had barricades of cotton piled
high, whence they sent the deadly rifleoall
to the doomed crew of the Harriet
Lane. She responded with her heavy
broadsides and succeeded in sinking the
Neptune (the wreck of which is yet before
Galveston), but she was finally captured,
all hands being killed save three,
who were badly wounded. At Galveston
at the time, un3er the orders of Gen.
Magruder, was a Col. Lee. He was a
confederate, but he had reason to know
that his son was one of the crew of the
hapless federal cutter. Obtaining permission
to visit the ship, he found that
his son was among the the ill-fated three.
The only consolation, however, he had
was to see the son a few hours afterward
die in his arias. Some time afterward,
when Capi Hutchinson had assumed
command of the vessel, Col. Lee visited
it, and cried like a child because of the
memories it had awakened. After the
capture of the Harriet Lane the confederates
used her as a blockade runner between
Galveston and Havana. In 1865,
when she was in the harbor of Havana,
the federal government claimed her from
the Spanish, and after considerable redtapeism
she was given up. Afterwards
.he was Bold and reconstructed,- her
boiler being taken out and her wheels
removed. She was then made a sailing
vessel of, and has since been plying in
the merchant service, but the old hull
md much of the furniture of the Harriet
Lane are still preserved.
EXECUTION ItY IMPALEMENT.
One Horrible .Method of Administering Juntlre
in .Inpnn.
A traveler in Japan -writes* One
morning while I was at Yokohama I was <
informed that a criminal was about to 1
be publicly put to death, and the mor- j (
bid curiosity which has more or less a (
strong hold upon most of us induced me i
to sally forth and witness the execution. ]
This is what I saw: When I reached 1
the place appointed for carrying into J
effect the capital sentence, the unfor- i
innate convict, a fine-looking Japanese, 1
st the prime of youth and strength, was 1
anding under a huge post in the mid- ;
/lio r\( ? Hftln noKKp. of miards. The ! I
post had a crosspiece. Nearly uude, he j i
was standing erect, but as motionless as j
a statue, while his fearless but dreamy |
j eyes gazed straight into the distance be- j
fore him, as if* he was looking at some
far-off object looming upon a horizon |
visible only to his abstracted vision. 1
There was no token of terror in his de- ,
termined face, no sign of shrinking in
his quiescent but tensely strung boily.
Presently there was a movement among
the little knot of those surrounding him.
His jailers moved aside and there strode
into the circle a gaunt, repulsive-looking j
native, clad from liend to" foot in a dresr, j
of dingy yellow. The executioner?for |
it was he?was accompanied by a couple
! of jissistauts, who carried some half- J
dozen long, round bamboo rods, about a j
couple of fingers thick at their largest. >
end, and taperiug to half that size at the J
1 other, which was sharply pointed. The j
, rods were laid upon the ground, and the
trinities of death clapped hold of the liv- j
ing statue before them. In a trice the j
: human effigy, who made uo attempt at .
resistance, and who, as far as I observed, |
never even opened his lips, was grimly !
dangling on the post, hi<< arms stretched ;
out right and left along the crosspiece. |
There was now a slight pause. The exe- j
cuticners dailied with the bamboos, and J
the poor creature spread-eagled on the
post still looked into the shadowy distance,
still was dumb; but I thought
f I could detect a yellow pallor stealing
up his face. Perhaps he was collecting
i all his resolution to meet the terrible
ordeal he knew wps close upon him.
The principal executioner,, who meanwhile
had selected a couple of bamboos
I to his mind, now stepped to the left side
of his expectant victim, spat upon the
point of one of his weapons, and with a
twisting, pushing motion thrust it easily
into the flesh about half-way between
the hip and the armpit. The poor
wretch upon the cross turned his gaze
slowly down upon his tormentor, and
his litis sliehtlv ouened. But he made
no struggle?lie uttered uo cry. His
resolution, his courage, were superhuman.
I looked at the executioner.
He was calmly continuing to push and
wriggle the bamboo further and further
into the body. In a couple of minutes, )
though it seemed much longer, the
! bloody point of the instrument emerged
from the top of the sufferer's shoulder.
There was a slight exclamation of satisfaction
from the crowd, just the sort of
hum that escapes from those watching a
daring swimmer when his head appears
above the surface after a long dive; and
the fiend at the other end of the bamboo
stopped wriggling, let go his hold find
stepped back. Now, I thought, he is
going to give tne poor creature his
conp de gracc. Not a bit of it. He
; crossed to the opposite side of the post,
calmly inserted the second weapon in the
same spot on the sufferer's other flank,
and worked nway till it came out above
i the armpit. All this time not a single
groan, not one despairing cry for mercy
j ^scaped the man thus doubly impaled. |
i his liead drooped a littio upon nis cuesi,
| ai (1 bis eyes were half-closed, but be
wts evidently alive and conscious. At
| thi i moment, to my amazement, the executioner
and his assistants, picking up
, the unused bamboos, began to walk
; awav. "What,"I asked, "is theexecuj
tion ended ? Are they going to leave
' the man in that fearful agony?" " Oh,
yes," I was told, "all is over. The
j criminal is finished with. He will die
I presently?in an hour, two hours, or, as |
1 lie seems very strong, perhaps not till
j nightfall; but nobody will touch him
1 any more. The bamboos will be left in
| him, and when he is quite exhausted ho
' will expire." I could bear no more. I
I was powerless to interfere, but, sick at !
i heart, I turned on my heel, loathing the |
: barbarous cruelty I had just, witnessed, j
' I learned afterwards that the unfortunate j
| wretch lnd lingered ten long hours bej
fore Death (which in Japan would seem
! as brutal as Justice) remembered and
i released him.
S His slow death is accounted for by the
1 fact that a Japanese executioner is carei
fully taught to avoid the vital organs of
I the criminal he has to impale. The
J more slowly the viotim expires, the
i greater the reputation of his butcher.
' How Old Japanese Bronzes arc Made.
A correspondent of the New York
Time# has this in a letter from Kioto,
Japan : Bronzes and silks come in for a
very large share of the exports of Kioto,
and some of the work in bronze is of a
superior character. I have heard several
amusing stories about bronzes and
the way they make them here. A merchant
of Kobe saw a pair of very old
vases in a Kioto shop ; there was no
j doubt about their age, as they were
J eaten here and there by verdigris and
i the tooth of time?old' Tempus Eda.r |
Iteruvi. He was surprised at the low
price demanded, and immediately
bought them, and then asked the shopkeeper
if he had any more. The latter
said lie had none, but would make them
to order.
"I don't want new vases," was the
reply; " I want old ones like these."
"I'll make them for you," the shopkeeper
answered ; " make them all just
like these. '
The merchant gave the order, and in
n month he had his new antiaues. with
the necessary stamp of Tempus Edax.
He ordered some more, sent the consignment
to London, and had the satisfaction
of clearing about 400 per cent,
on the investment. The Japanese
maker told him that the process of
venerablei/.ing bronzes was very simple.
" Get strong vinegar," said he,
" and boil them in it a few hours, and
if you want to make them very old add
a little acid." The same process hns
long been used at Birmingham in making
Waterloo relics and Egyptian antiquities,
and the Japanese have not
been slow to find it out. They are very
clever at imitations of any kind, and if
you allow them a little latitude they
will improve upon the model. The
porcelain factory which I mentioned in
a preceeding paragraph had imitations
of all kinds of ware from Japan and
China, and the proprietor offered to reproduce
any sample which could be
brought. " You can buy plenty of old
ware here," said he, " but yfiu had better
have it made, and then you know
you are not cheated." Very good and
practical advice.
A Georgia Girl's Appetite.
The Savannah News says : A party
of merry girls and boys got on the train
at some station between Atlanta and
Macon, bound for home. They were
laden with packages containing orangeB,
apples, and other good things, and in
evident disposition to have a pleasant
time. Shortly after the train was in
motion the packages were opened. The
girls were bright, rosy cheeked, spark- j
ling-eyed maidens, and ranging in ages ]
between sixteen and eighteen yearp. i
Their escorts were courteous, manly 1
youths, and having secured seats con- 1
venient for the group, proceeded to en- j
joy themselves, utterly oblivious to the j
other passengers. One of the young j
ladies ate four large apples, and ?om- '
mencing on a paper of oranges, in a few j j
minutes diminished the number by five, <

:he shadow of fate,
BY JUDGE JARVIS.
A rider was threading hia way over a road
hich lay alongthe hills at the base of the
lue Ridge Mountains, in the region known as
le Piedmont of Virginia, about the sources of
ie Rappahannock river.
* * * * * *
The man himself might be described in the
ime language, as far as it would apply. Bound
this his age was about twenty-three, his
air brown and full in lock, his eye of a grayish
lue.
* * * *
His way quickly brought the traveler to a
tream now running over its banks. Slipping
asily from his saddle, he tightened the girths,
lackened the crupper, and, gently patting his
nimal, addressed a few affectionate words to
im. Remounting, ho fixed himself firmly in
36 saddle, garnered nis onaie in a manner to
npart to his companion his own energy and
etermination, and moved into the creek.
Turning up tho stream, ho proceeded for
bout a hundred yards along the bank, and
len struck boldly across in a direct line, with
16 horse's head slanted up current. The depth
f tho water did not sensibly increase in the
Diirso of eighty yards, and tho stranger was
angratulating himself upon the probability of
etting over without a wotting, when ttie anilal
in two steps increased the depth until he
Duld no longer hold his footing, and sprung
oldly into tho middle of a deep; rushing
hanneL In an instant the rider had seized
n>on/i r\f fVio Vioruti in hia 1?ff. VianH an^
lipped smoothly oat of the saddle to tho lower
,de, where ho floated along.
Maa and beaut battled bravely with the flood
>r a moment, when the former was startled to
iel the home flinch and turn with a terrific
lort down the current. A quick jerk upon the
ift rein served to procure but an instant's
ause in the precipitate course of the beast,
at in that instant the stranger became aware
r another presence by the touch of a slimy
bject against bis hand.
Raining his head above the neck of the
larger, he aiw dimly outlined upon the wavig
and shimmoring surface a dark and unde- 1
nable object. The next moment the desperte
plunges of tho beast had obstructed his
Ision, whon, with the self command of one
customed and nerved to the hardship of j
thletic sports and a soldier's danger, he
vung his leg over the back of the animal and
athered himself up in the saddle.
Reaching out a hand, he was about to seize
ie object of his horror, when it exposed the i
hastly features of a woman. 1
For an instant only he hesitated; then, re- (
jvering from the thrill, he- grasped the head i
rnily by the loose, flowing, tangled mass of I
iven tresses, and raised it above water on the
ommel of his saddle.
Tnrnintr tiia hfliirl fl.irft.in nn Rtroftm. hfl rA- (
ewed the combat with the tide. Twice it <
semed as though man, .woman and beast ;
iust all succumb, and twice the noble struggles
f the animal cheated the turgid gravo of its 1
ictims. <
Finally, the hoofs onco more crunched the <
rm bottom of the stream, and ten paces i
rought the party safely to the shore.
****** 1
Feeling tlio forehead, ho found it cold; tbe
ands were also chilled, but he thought he felt '
slight fluttor of the pulse. Tearing open the ,
ress, he pressed his hand against the heart .
ad found it still warm. '
Ilia efforts to resuscitate her were soon re- 1
arded, and, after a few moments, the woman j
lade an attempt to speak, which resulted,
owever, only in a moaning cry.
At this point he began to look for other *
distance, when he observed a light upon the c
ill above the creek Onco more raising the t
ody to the pommel of the .saddle and mountig
behind it, ho sought the road. 1
*? ***]
One stepped around to receive the woman, \
id another entered the house to procure the 8
imulant
" What's this V" said the one who was asaistg
the traveler in dismounting the woman.
"Send for the nearest physician at once." t
They lifted the motionless but reviving form I
to the house, and deposited it upon a sofa. r
The stimulant was soon brought, and, upon e
small portion of it being administered, the 8
Dman indicated ail increased vitality by a r'
oken gurgle. This, after a while, gave way s
clearer articulation, in which, however, only o
Uables were omitted. These were in turn h
cceeded by ono or two sharp cries of pain, I
lich gradually subsided into a moaning chatr
of wailing, incoherent sentences.
At this point the stranger, iu raising hia g
nd to her bead to brush the tangled hair
am her brow, noticed a clot of blood upon

und no trace of a wound. a<
"She must be bleeding!" he ejaculated
joe if there is a cut anywhere."
A.ii examination Boon revealed a ghastly 11
rand, an ugly, gaping abrasion upon the bi
t side of the head, a'jove the ear, and just tl
hind the temple. The locks were matted
er it, and the blood still ouzsd slowly from
mouth. t* hi
Pending the arrival of a doctor, the stranger h
pped the hair from around tho wound, and,
&r bathing it with feminine tenderness, he

isnlting my comfort so far."
' Will you tell me how you happened upon
i adven'ure, and how you account for the ue
y's wound and present condition ?" 3P
.'he traveler gave a brief account of the ?'
intH, without, however, throwing any light
)n his own identity or business.
' Mav I ask your "name, sir ?" inquired the ?
it, whom we will introduce to the reader as ^c
, Thornton, or Squire Thornton, bb he was ?.c
abed by his neighbors in honor of his being

"I beg pardon for the misconstruction,

soldier in the FreDoh service. Do you see
aything in my appearance or anything else
bout this case "which justifies you 'in interroating

'Until one who is found with a body that

After a few moro remarks were passed, the
quiro bade his son Eddie conduct the gontlelan
to his room and see him well provided for
he night #
After tho traveler l>ad loft, the vagrant rtill
ingered. Shifting his hat restlessly but mehanically,
he seemed to resume a conversation
rhich had probably been interrupted by the
tranger's exit from the stable.
"'Pe*rs to mo now"?an expression which
ndicafcd the result of some mighty reflection
or his calibre?-"Pears to me as he ain't telling
he truth. He ain't named Gasper Deray, be
iluhe no a a naiu ho mm. rears to me no
ooks like old Raoul Dupny, and Gaston afore
lim; and, if I ain't mistaken, he's been in these
mrts aforei"
" Who's the woman, Randy?"
"I have boon looking at her, bat'pears to
ne I never seen her afore?leastways, sue don't
ionie from about here."
The resemblance of Durer to the Dupuys 1b
itriking, and I thought at first he was the son
>f Gaston, who has been absent bo long. What
hink yon my son ?"
' Can't say. father, but his resemblance to
klr. Dupny at the manor would be noticed by
iny one."
"Perhaps," suggested the vagrant, "he's a
ion of Dupny himself, if half they bring from
'urrin parts is c'rect; 'pears to me he must
lave more'none."
"And your friend Raoul ain't too good for a
'rand or a lie," chirped the vagrant
" We will dispenae with your comments on
Jae charactor of my friend," retorted the
iquire.
"No offence, squire.but'spense orno'spense,
[ knows the laws, and alters take care to have
jroof afore I says a libel on any man."
"What do you know of Raoul Dupuy, villain,
ian you dare maintain such a thing concernng
his character, which is polluted by your
attention of it ?"
"Nevermind what I know, squire, so long'
is I ain't said it," answered the tramp.
******
" What is your opinion, doctor ?" asked the
iquire.
It is rather early to ask an opinion about
the patient, squire. Tho Bkull is fractured, and
it may be necessary to trepan it, if any portion
is bearing on tho brain."
"Doyou think the blow will permanently
affect her brain, or that she will be sound in
mind should she recover?"
If fViA nrflaanrrt nf t>iA hnnfl nnnn brain
be removed, she will doubtless recover her
Bonnes. Bat until she is completely wel1 again,
and even after, no risk mnst be taken in the
case. Absence of excitement or noiae is indispensable,
as the slightest mental shock might
make her a raving maniac. Blows npon that
region of the head nave been known to depi ive
persons of the power of speech, and if she ia
not kept perfectly quiet, she may recover only
to linger out a dumb existence."
******
After breakfast a servant, whom the sqnire
had dispatched across the creek upon his tirst
arising, returned with the information that Mr
Taylor?the gentleman whom the stranger had
left at his gate on the road?would bo over
immediately after breakfast
Upon the arrival of Mr. Taylor, ho and tho
squire retired for a consultation, to which they
after awhile called Bandy, tho vagrant They
then returned to the traveler, ana. after hearing
his account once more, and comparing the
time of his leaving Mr. Taylor with that of his
arrival at the squire's, they proceeded to the
creek in company.
Upon their arrival the squire addressed the
traveler:
" I have taken counsel with Mr. Taylor
touching this case, which seems a deep mystery,
after all the information we havo been so
far able to gather; the lady seems unknown
even to Banay, who visits every house in this
and the adjoining counties, and you are equally
a stranger to us, I consider, however, that
you have been fully discharged from any connection
with the affair. We must first attempt
lo/It* VIflron 19
W ^(IbUUl DUUItWJUJg UVUl IIUV IWUJ MWkDVUI
At thin point the doctor came out of the sick
room. He stated that the lady had greatly improved
during the night, and that the wound
was, in all probability, not serious; the lady
had even recovered, in a measure, the control
of her mental faculties and language, though
she was not fully conscious or coherent as yet.
* ? * ' * * *
The squire, Mr. Taylor, the traveler and the
doctor together proceeded to the bedside of
the unfortunate woman, the s'ranger?being
assured of his release by the words of the
squire?first ordering a servant to bring his
horse to the door before leaving the piazz?.
Upon reaching tha bed the woman opened
her eyes, and, Beeing the kind, manly faces of
tho squire and Mr. Taylor, she faintly smiled,
and ran her eyes over the rest of the group.
She passed the doctor wit aout any variance
of expression, and then rested them upon the
face of the stranger.
The eyes becames set in a horrible stare, the
light forsook them, the pupils dilate 1; she
raised herself to a sitting posture by a convulsive
movement of the arms ; then, crouching
to her knees and throwing herself wildly down
on her face, she shrieked out with a curdling
moan:
" Oh, oh, Dupuy! don't, don't!" and consciousness
once more left her.
Despite his self-command, the traveler paled.
He at once retired with the gentlemen, however,
to the piazza. Nothing had passed between
the group until the doctor broke a painful
constraint which had fallen upon all.
"Gentlemen,' said he, "the worst mishap
that could befall this unfortunate lady has Just
occurred through her having seen this gentleman.
Mr. Dnrer. She is a ravins maniac. She
may die she may recover after a lingering
illness; but, in any event, she will be fortunate
if she ever recovers her reason. Darkness
has settled upon her brain for a long night,
which mav never be followed by the dawn.
"To what, doctor," asked the squire, "do
you attribute her shock ?"
"Sho was evidently stricken with horror at
the sight of Mr. Durer, whom, from nip
knowledge of the laws of the human brain,
she has in some way associated with the violence
which has been done her, to her great
terror.
There was a pause, a painful lulL
Then the squire spoke to Durer.
"The case, sir, has taken a new turn. You
will not be surprised that I conclude it my duty
to commit you, to await further development*
in the matter.
* * * * * *
Upon the last syllable he Btrode from the
piazza, booted and Bpnrred, his steps clanging
an echo to his voice. One spring and he was
vaulted into his waddle; he brushes away the
servant who holds his bit with imperial disdain,
Mid turns his horse at the gate.
The animal clears ic with the activity and fire
of his master, gathers himself on the other
aide, and before the squire can recover from
the stupor of amazement, is off liko the wind.

Good Advice.?We advise every farmer or t
3ck raiser to invest in Sheridan's Cavalry
judi ion Powders, and feed them out to their
srds this winter. Depend upon it, it will pay
g interest.
Patentees and inventors should read adver- .
icment of Edson Bros, in another comma. I
Apples of Gold In Picture* of Silver.
" A word fitly spoken is like appleB of gold in
pictures of silver." When the oody becomes
diseased, the mind, is thereby necessarily influenced.
National wars, state dissensions,
neighborhood broils, and family differences,
are more frequently than otherwise the feBtyt
of disease and disordered WttBtltutibiiB. When
the body is suffering, the mind* acting in
sympathy, will become irritated and perplexed.
When tfi*? physical system is in health, the
mind perceives ihings in their true light, and
the disposition assumes a very different phase.
Nothing more directly tends to destroy the
happy, cheerful disposition, of a womaD, and
render her peevish, nervous and fretful, than
a constant endurance of uterine disorders.
The diseases peculiar to women take away the
elasticity and buoyancy of health and reduce
her body and mind to a mere wreck. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a real peacemaker
in ? family. No woman suffering from
nteriuc disorders can afford to be without this
remedy. The Favorite Prescription saves unnecessary
doctor bills, prevents divorces,
wards off suicides, brines backbuov&nt. iovous
feelings, restores the woman to health, and
her family to happiness. It is sold by all
druggists.
Happy Influence of a Great Specific.
For the preservation or recovery of health
and strength, the diet should be wholesome
and nutritions. When it happens that the
alimentary processes aro disturbed by improper
or half masticated food, the best remedy for
the evil results of abusing the digestive organs
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a most agreeable,
prompt and gentle remedy for dyspeptda,
and for i he bilious and evacuative irregularities
which result from it. The liver and bowels,
in common with the stomach, experience its
beneflcient influences. The-refuse of the system
is carried off through its natural outlet, a
heathv flow and seer tion of the bilo, is promoted,
and a powerful impetus is given to
assimila'i n in consequence of its use. It
healthfully stimula es the madder and kidneys
when they are inactive, and by its tODic and
regulating action fortifies the system against
malaria.
Dangerous.?It is a dangerous thing to
neglect a cough or cold, or any difficulty of the
throat or lungs. Lose not a moment in getting
a bottle of Johnson's Anodyne Liniment.
You can rely upon ic to cure you.

from the Preface to the New Method.
"Becoming at length satisfied of tbe truth
of these criticisms (by many emiuent composers
and professors), and convinced that gruat improvements
were obviously needed, I determined.
if possible, to remedy the defects.
Profiting by the experience and advice of the
best practical teachers, I commenced a thorough
and critical examination of my fir-t
method, and concluded that the only remedy
would be to bring out a new work on an improved
plan."
This new work, substituted for the defective Modern
