11I can't stand this asiy loiger, Kit

life. , I mean to have a talk with
your father this very iiight, and know

Brown eyed, brown haired Kitty
Cline looked up in dismay at her
lover's cloudeii resolute face.

As;Robert, kJunni left -the house,
"Whichl he did with a lighter heart

Hers MrI. Clfhte fairly choked with

"Anad that, furthermore, he needn't

c ontituied Kitty, placidly, apparent
Jy ,unconseons of the storm that wird

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.

"Never you mind Kitty,' returned
the old man with an air of grim sat
sfactiou; 'gr6 don't know what they

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

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

to bring. Meyer's speech to the at

Mother Shiptoi's Prophecy
It will not- come amiss, says the
L' "Wusta Ohronicle and Constitution..
aists, at this time, to reproduce some
curious prophecies. 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.

And no horse or ass shall be at hIs aide,
Under water men shall walk,'

WAMUINGTOX, Jan. 81 1878.
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

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

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.

which occurred last Decenber,

Vitnesses, who gave such testimon
hat the magistrate did not Oeem it
ecessary to hear any witesses or

oner immediately. 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..
