KITTY'S RUSE. 11I can't stand this asiy loiger, Kit ty; this suspense is wearing out my life. , I mean to have a talk with your father this very iiight, and know tie Wors-, whatever it is." Brown eyed, brown haired Kitty Cline looked up in dismay at her lover's cloudeii resolute face. 4Oh,.Robert. pray be patient a lit tlie 1)Igeli Y11u know jt,At how con trary and set in his W'ey' father is.

As;Robert, kJunni left -the house, "Whichl he did with a lighter heart han when he entered it, he met Mr. 11l1e at the gate, who glared wrath 11ly at hiu in return for his pleas ant greeting. Ile was a short, thick set man, ith a red, uncomfortable looking faeasthough his color was too tight husm. .A-. * Stamping into the louse with con *iderab:e more ntoise than was nee essary, he turned to the window wheMi Kitty was sitting, bummuing a a tunie, a careless, uncone'erned look upon her lace, which belhed the "bWhat's that youritellow cominig er:e so inuch tor, kitty?" -Kitty tossed hetr head with an air So disdaine.' ~Fo- wbat lie wOn'at get, smart s b thinks himsielf.

"Anad that, furthermore, he needn't ' ake the trouble to call here again," c ontituied Kitty, placidly, apparent Jy ,unconseons of the storm that wird :nbehring. M "nd have you tihe assurance to 1Kel me, Mise,' burst torth the indig.. aht old gentleman, 'that my favor h i& suit w. oldmake no differ, ~ apa, ofounrse I'd be sorry 4otnItoe onr wishes, ~ I4.~o,' n is an intelligent and worthy young man, of whoeb prefiiieda any lady with the least Iatite bfer6 would be proud. I shall invite, him to con thine his calls here, and. remember that it is my wish that yon treat him with the respect and consideration that he deserves." Having tbus delivered himself, Mr. Cline left the room with in air of great satisfaction; Kitty making no response, save by a subdued ,niffle behind the handkerchief, in which she had burried her face. Having first made sure that her father had taken hinself off down the street, sie dried her laughing eyes, and as s4on as it began to grow dusk, ile went over to her cousin's, where she knew Robert would be waiting for her, to tell him of her success, and to instruct him into his part in the litde cotnedylbat was be ing enacted. At Mr. Clite's express invitation he continued his calls with more fre giency than before, being treated by Kitty, when her father was present, with a coolness which the young man took with very commendable philos ophy and resignation. Perhaps the warmth an'd cordiali ty of his host had something to do with this, or he might have been sustained by various private inter views with Kitty, and which seemed to be very satisfactory and pleasant to all concerned. Emboldened by tte marked en couragemeut given him by the old gentleman, RobWrt finally asked him for the hand ot his daughter, receiv-. ing his unqalified consent. Robert expressed his gratitude in warm terms, taking care to hint 'that he had not received much'encourage. ment hon Miis Kitty.' "Never you mind Kitty,' returned the old man with an air of grim sat sfactiou; 'gr6 don't know what they want, & what Ie fQr their beet good. 1IiLmanage her." Accordingly, that evening Mr. Cline commuicated to his daughter whatt he was pleased to term "unde served good fortune." Nosooner had Kitty been given the naeme of the husband destined for her, than she vehemently asserted that she would die sooner than mar ry him. Hier father' jnst as stoutly insisted that she.shoauld; and the~ cou troversy ended by his ordering her to her chamber, declaring that she shouald stay there until she camne to a prosper sense of the duty she owed him as a (daughter. In the morning ho visited Kitty, finding her, if possible, more contn manons than before. indeed so pro vuking was her language, that he s-s sure~d her of his determination to keep her on bread and water until shie suibmitteed. Wi' b this pleasing pJrosp)ect before heor, Kitty r'mainied in duirance vile' all day, She did niot seem at all cast down; on the contrary, she bore every ap-. peara: ce o'f being in an exceedingly comfIiort&able and contented fran.e of mndd. She spent the greater part of the day in answering sundry notes, which were slipped under her dooi by her couisin, who was in the plot, the. cuntent s of which seemed to ats turd her great satisfaction. When thne old gentlemian visited Kitty iw tbe qveniing, be found her onsiderabl) subdnred, which he as oribed, ini no small degree,'to the regimet' fbread and water to which he had co)ndedhn1ee her,being in bliss finl ignorance ot the mor e appetizing fare that had been surreptitiously smuggled.In, to her.

Kitty contrived to retain the snilen resentful look she bad assumed until the hour appointed for tho *edding. lhen herface became radiant with st'iles, and which created such a %arked transformation in her coua tebance as to attract hdr father's at teition. $1aI she i4 making the best of it, as I knew she would," was his in ward comment. . itty's married life was a very happy one. "I have the bes. hubband .in the world," she said, one day, in the presence of her father. "And you'uay thank me for it," he chuckled, "You never would have married ibbert if I hadn't in wisted on it. Girls never know what is good for 'em; it's well that you had Sone one to choose for you." Kitty made ni reply, save by a roguish smile, and which was quick. ly communicated to the countenance of those preseut, who were ac quainted with the secret, as well as tLe good result, of "Kitty's Ruse." ANECDOTE OF THE WA.-I have heard an old war story, and, by the way, it is one of the best of them. I had it from a former officer under Stonewall Jackson: On one of our marches in the early spring, when a chilling rain had been falling for days, and the slush was alnost waist deep, our CoLn mand, utterly wretched and broken down, was struggling along as best it -,ould under such circumstances. Worn out' myself, I crept into a fence corner to rest awhile. Pre sently I saw a solitary straggler coming lowly up the road. He seemed al most exhausted-his shoes were gine, and his feet cut and bleeding. I was strnck with his ap pearance, for thbrough all his weary wiretchedn,ess shone the indomuitabile spirit of the Southern soldier-the mant who would be found at his poet, or else dead in the attempt to me it. I watcned him cl.rFA he dragged himself heard him mutter to himneeh "Bless me if I evel b'e azmber country!"-. A TEMTEET IN A I'EA VoT.-.Phila dolphia is ini a f'erment over the out.. rageorte conduct of one Obarles Meyer, Ger'ma:n Consul at the afo;resid city, Meyer at a dinner of a Germatn society in Philadelphia, spoke derisively of the United States Government, the people, and our eberished institutiona. Another Ger' man oilicial of lower grade made simnilary injunrious rem~arks, and the t wAin drank contusion to our beloved Republic; all of which is catlculated to stir a'fever ine the blood of age, and make the American infant's sia... ews strong .as steel. It is pr oposed to bring. Meyer's speech to the at teUtion of the Slate Departmno.t with a view of his immediate recall. If Mr. Meyer has p)ubbely said what is attributed to him, bia own Gov erinen)t will gai1etly lead him out by the ear.

The following are said to have been publisbed betoro the Crimean war of 1858, some authorities dating them as far back as 145.> "In twice two i.: dred years the Bear rhe Crescent bb:.!l assail; But if the CocL and Bull unite, rhe Bear shall not prevail. But look! in twice ten years again Let Islam know and fear rhe Crose shall wax, the Crescent wane, 3row pale and disappear." "Twice two hundred years," from [458, brings us to 1853. This was Ahe beginning of the "Crimean war." France (the "cock") and England :the "bull") declared war in alliance with Turkey (Islam) against Rusmia (the "bear"), in March, 1854. In L856 peace was concluded by Con ;re;s at Paris. "The bear did not prevail." "Twice ten years" from his period brings us to 1876, during which year disturbances commenced in Herzegovina, Bosnia aid Bulga ria, Montenegro and Servia, which aually involved the Porte in a war with the last two named provinces, and althougiv attempts at compro mists and mediation were made by the Congress which assembled at Constantinople in the Fall of 1876, Servia alone yielded to Turkish au thority. Montenegro refused all overtures looking to sn'bmission, and Russia having completed prepara tions for the war, made haste to take such action as has already given as surance that "The Cross shall wax the Crescent wane, Grow pale and disappear." There seems to be littte doubt that Mother Shipton's tamous prophecy was published in 1488 and revived in 1641. It rune thus: "Carriages without horses shall go, And accidents All the world -with woe, Around the world thoughts shall By In the twinkling of an eye. Water shall yet more wonders do, Now strange, yet shall be true, The world upside down shall be, And gold be found at root of tree.

The current of CongeSional affairs : was slightly disturbed by the little - disagreement between Senators ] laine and Hoar. The dispute was ostensibly over the parts played re spectively by Maine and Massachu sette in the war of 1818, but the roal t "casus belli" was the vote of the Massachusetts delegation in tbe Cina cinnati Convention. It is conceded g that the Bland Silver Bill will pass t the Senate by a two-thirda vote.-6 f That the Preside-it wil: vetoe the bill is feared by its fiends, but many say I he will sign it, with the understand. ing that the Government shall cons t tinue to pay the interest on the pub.

The Sogth trout I is entirely complete, and is imposing 1 in its vast proportions and comman. ding elevation. When complete, this building will throw the Treasury building near it, entirely in the shade not by reason of its greater ' beauty, but'from the fact that a portion of the latter is sunk some feet below the grade of the street and in Order to enter the really beautiful Northern front you are obliged first to descend ai area, after passing through which, mount another flight of steps lefore reaching the entrance. 4 Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, visited the General Land Office to consult with Commissioner Williamson in r.o lation to a claim which she presents for upwards of 19,000 arpents of lan:I granted and confirmed to her father, Da.niel Clark, in 1801 and 1804, by the Board of Land Commissioners. The grants are in Missourr, within seventy three miles of St. Louis. The tracts aggregate about 17,000 acres. Mrs. Gaines wishes to ascertain toI whom patents foir these lands have boen issued.4 Francis Murphrey, the great tern. perance reformer opened the cam paign at Lincoln Hall on the Sab-. bath, and three thousand persons filled thae street who could not gain admittance. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Hon. Rt. A. Hatcher, M. C., of Missouri, presided. A choir of 150 singers made the great Hall ring with gospel temperance songs. A great work in the interest of temper ance is now sweeping over the -city. Howard University under its now Presidont, W. W. Patton, L.L. D. founder of the Chicago Advance, has a hopeful future; since the panio in 1873, the trustees have paid off $90, 000 of indebtedness, and are now ar ranging for the payment of the last dollar of obligations resting upon the Institution. Its buildings, campus and out side improved property and vacant lands will, with the revival of business become immensely valuable. It has a large class in both the Theo.. logical and Medical Departments. This is one of the Institutions whose doors are open alike to male and fe male, white and colored. A new printing press is the latest invention, by which the reporter~ can take notes in lull copy in type, at the rate of 200 words per minute.

The tory he killing has been published b-* ore, and it will be interesting to Pive the circumstances as detailed oy the witnesses. It seems Ton Cole and Jas. Reed ad a difficulty at the grocery on thU lorn Lake. road, kept by a maiS amed Williams, only a few mfiles outh of the city. Friends inter-. ered and the affair was quieted, )ole giving up his pistol. Short fterward Reed commenced quarel% ing again, sod wound up by graspl. ag the inoffensive Cole by the throat nd drawing and raising over his ead a huge bowie knife. Cole eized his hand and said. 6I am your riend, don't cut me." Again by tanders interfered and Reed started iome; but a drunken brute of s fiend iried out to him, "Jim, if you are coward go bone- and go to bed, )ut if you are a man show it and out is liver out of him." Poor Reed was weak enough to listen to the irunken advice and again assaulted .)ole, doing his utmost to cut his broat. Cole could not stand this ttack unarmed as be was, aOd, it is said, he gave the Masonic sign of lire distress. Suddenly two pistol shots were heard and 9'eed fell dead. L'he bullets pierced the breast of the. infortuoate man and he died almost mmnediately. None of the witnesses ,ould say who fired thetshot and Jole's lips were sealed on the mat er. The theory of the Attorney, G. P. M. Turner, was that either some riend had quickly Lhanded a pistol o Cole and that lie had shot the than owas choking'hini and threaten% ng his life, or that some friend of Jole's, seeing his imminent peril, tad sent.tho threefold aggressor to lis long home. Cole was assured hat be was perfectly justifiable if he uad done the killing, but no assur WucQ could make him open his mouth ni the matter. Esquire Elliott said he saw no grounds upon which to -commit the recused, but that he, as a magistrate f the law, was compelled to take iotice of the fact that in the earlier' >art of the evening Cole had a pis,-. ol, and bie therefore bound him ver for carrying concealed weap - mes. "Only a Printer." In her lecture.bere, recently, Mrs Beavers took occaision to remark that imong her' acquaintances was a rman who is a printer. He has traveled through different countries, and been a public speaker, and people (includ% ing Mrs. B.) wondered that he was only a printer. Only a printer, in~ ieed! Perhaps Mrs. Beavers thinks that the printing business Is below her standard of intellectual greatness.. Yes, be was "only a printer." Who was the Earl Stanbope?
