Had Congress been able to control this sub?
ject, both negro and Chinese suffrage would
probably have been forced upon the people of
California against the will of the majority.

fifty miles. As seen at night, the vein of the
crater is white, half-way down, the height of
?the flame and flying cinders five hundred feet.
General Howard has not issued an order

an office must bo considered incompatible
with the duties required of the officers of the

In reply to a communication from Governor
Flanders charging the police jury of the Parish
of Orleans with official corruption, and re?
commending their removal, General Hancock
says these charges present a proper case for
I judicial investigation and determination, and
it is evident to him that the courts of justice

plained of, if proven. He bas therefore con?
cluded it i'j not advisable to resort to the mea?

Things In Washington.
DISSATISFACTION AMONG SOUTHERN RADICALS
PREFERENCE FOB CHIEF JUSTICE CH A 8E
GRANT'S POSITION AND VIEWS-AN EFFORT TO
THROW THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION INTO THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES-INTERESTING
SPECULATIONS.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti?
more Sun writes ;
From letters received in this city from prom?
inent Radical politicians in the South, and
from statements made by such men as H am?
hurst and Hunnieutt of Virginia, there seems
to be mach dissatisfaction with the action of
the. republican executive committee in fixing
BO early a date as May 20th, for the meeting of
tho republican nominating convention. A ma?
jority of the Southern Radicals oppose the
nomination of General Grant, and urge the
claims of Chief Justice Chase, and they argue
that the action of the republican executive
committee was for the purpose of securing
Grant's nomination; for it is scarcely probable
that the ?Southern States will be admitted to
representation in Congress before May, and
without such representation they will be de
(rived of any voice in the nominating couve n
ion, for, under the rule adopted, no delegates
aro to be admitted except such as come from
States that are represented in Congress.
This question has been exercising the minds
of Radical politicians in and out of Congress
for some time, and they are at a loss to know
how to ac ... The Southern Radicals demand as
a nomm?e a man whose views are positively
defined, and who stands squarely upon the
platform of universal negro surrrage. General
Grant, they say, does not do this, and Chief
Justice Chase does. The Conservative Re?
publicans will, of course, support Grant, but it
seems evident that the Northern Radicals will
strike hands with their brethren of the South,
and demand a nominee who is committed to
ttegro suffrage. The programme to bo pur?
sued is, therefore, beginning to be developed,
and the Radicals will play their cards in such a
way as will best tend to throw the Preside at i al
election in the House of Representatives,
where the vote will, under the constitution, be
taken by States, and where, they claim, Mr.
Chase will secure a majority.
The plan to be pursued seems to be to allow
the Chicago Convention to assemble and
nominate Grant? Before the election comes
[off the Southern States will be admitted to re
?iresentation in Congress-all Arrioauized
or the Radicals argue that, when the question
of the admission of the States is presented,
'the conservative Republicans will be compelled
to come to the assistance of tho Radioals to
assist in securing their admission. Once re?
cognized on tho floor of Congress, the States
now excluded will bo entitled to voices in the
electoral college. With all tho States admitted,
there will be 317 electoral votes, and it re?
quires, under the constitution, a majority of
tbe whole number of electors to elect a Pre si
dent. This majority will be 159.
Should the Chicago Convention nominate
Grant, th e Radicals propose afterwards to meet
in convention and nominate Chase. This would
split up the Republican party, and there would
be slight hope of an election by the people, for,
as it is understood, it seems to be a part of the
Radical plan to nm a Chase electoral ticket only
in the Africanized Southern States, while they
wonld leave Grant to fight it out with the Dem?
ocratic nominee in the Nor'h. Missouri and
Tennessee are already Africinized and com?
mitted to the Radical interest, and with the
other Southern States (except Maryland, Ken?
tucky and Delaware) under negro domination,
Chase would secure ninety-one electoral voteB.
If the recent elections mean anything, Connec?
ticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Ken?
tucky, Indiana, Wisconsin and California, with
sixty votes, may be counted upon for the Dem?
ocratic nominee. Fo this list must be added
Pennsylvania, with ber twenty-six. electoral
votes, thus giving the Democratic nominee
eightj'-six votes, leaving Grant with one hun?
dred and seven votes. Throw Now York in
either scale, and still there is no election by
the electoral colloge. Give him even Indiana
and Wisconsin with the above States, and there
is still no election.
These are tho figures of the Radicals, and
this is the way they argue to prove that they
will 6ecuio a President after their own heart
in 18G8. Despairing of success before the peo?
ple, i hey hopo to accomplish their ends
through the agency of the Fortieth Confess.
Conservative Republicans are beginning to
realize the real plans of I he Radicals, and they
will, therefore, hesitate somewhat before
they admit the Southern States m such a
form as will give the Radical clement the pre?
ponderating influence, and hand tho country
over to tho domination of such men os Messrs.
Ashley, Bout well, Stevens, Butler & Co.
1 HE DEMOCRATIC DINNEB.
The Democrats of the District are making
great pr?parations for their eighth of January
dinner. They are to have about one hundred
and fl! ty invited guests. The President has
promised to attend. All the members of the
cabinet have been invited, including General
Grant. Ex-Presidents Pierce, Fillmore and
Buchannan, Generals Sherman, Hancock,
Blair, Harney and Steedman, and th a leading
Democratic politicians from all parts of the
country are invited.
?FF AXES TS KEW ORLEANS.
General Steadman telegraphed the President
to-day from New Orleans Btrting that if an or?
der was not issued before January 1, reinsta?
ting Governor Wells in Louisiana, the law of
the legislature authorizing a loan of three
millions for the repair of the levees would
! cease to bo operative with the present year.
As ?B well known the law in question requires
that the bonds should receive the signature of
Governor Wells to make them valid, notwith?
standing the military edict of Sheridan to the
contrary. The telegram from General Stead?
man was referred to General Grant.
THE RECONSTRUCTION ACTS.
It is true that some active measures are
being taken to bring the constitutionality of
the Reconstruction acts before tbe Supreme
Court of the United States. The parties
moving in the matter claim to have the sym?
pathy of the President, and have engaged
eminent counsel, but as yet no test case is on
the docket.
COLONEL SHERMAN.
Tho announcement that General Sherman
was to assume command of the Department of
the East, has led many to suppose that Lieu?
tenant-General Sherman was to be assigned to
this command, Tho officer referred to, how?
ever, is T. W. Sherman, Colonel of the Third
United States Artillery and Brevet Major
General. He ranks General Butterfield on bis
Colonelcy only.
FASHION? FUR JANUARY.
NEW YORE, December 28.
OAS LIGHT EXHIBITORS.
A new idea is so rare a thing that it deserves
special mention wherever and whenever it is
found. This particular idea is not, however,
quite new, except in the mode in which it has
been carried out, but still in the absence of
anything better it will do. It consists of gas?
light exhibitions in the daytime by prominent
milliners and raodists. Since bonnets became
small, tiie profits upon them reduced, and the
largest number of them made by ladies them?
selves, it bas been common to associate dress?
making with millinery in all the large estab?
lishments, especially as with the introduction
of gore dresses came the almost absolute ne?
cessity of employing an artiste at least to cut
and fit them, and as a consequence, the profits
of dress-making increased as those upon milli?
nery went down. Tho association of these two
departments proves a most fortunate conjunc?
tion in these difficult times, and renders gas?
light exhibitions very effective. Tho usual
method is to exclude every partido of light
from the large and elegant show-rooms, arrange
complete costumes at one end, and dress bon?
nets, bridal veils, wreaths, head-dresses and
tho like, at the other, with figures in opera,
evening, street or in-door toilettes everywnere.
The rooms ore then brilliantly lighted with gas,
and cards of invitation having been previously
sent rouud, aro thronged all uay by ladies who
are frequently tempted into on extravagant
purchase by seeing the full effect of a complete
evening costume. Among
THE NOVELTIES DISPLAYED
at one of these exhibitions was a manteau de ta
oour attached to a rich evening dress of white
unwatcred moire. The mantean is a long
square train, one end of which is laid in plaits
across the back of a low-necked dress. The
trail is from one to two yards long from the
bottom of the skirt, and requires considerable
skill and adroitness to manage. A trimming
of rich li"" ' ally added to the edge, which
enhances LUO rx? it some hundreds of dollars,
but in this case the edge was simply scolloped
and bound with white satin. Tbe lining also
was white satin. A costuma of rich green faille
(a thiok silk, with a fine cord) was much ad?
mired. It was trimmed with a flounce of white
point applique lace, headed with a rouleau of
green satin, a wide sash of lace, ?nd a lace
shawl was draped apon the shoulders. Tbe
Erice of this entire costume as it stood was one
lousand dollars. The new French sleeve was
attached to this dress ; it reaches to thc elbow,
where it is slightly gathered on the inside of
the arm, and a lace or tango attached, which
falls over ; it is called tho Watteau sleeve, and
is always accompanied by a square body, low or
cut out a ta Pompadour. Long white gloves
are worn with thin sleeve, which only leaves an
inch or two upon the arm visible. A new
method of ornamenting a dress is to drape a
scarf across the front of the corsage, and allow
the two ends to fall from the right shoulder,
forming an open Roman sleove, made m white
merino, bordered with gold, the pointed ends
finished with gold taBsols ; the effect is decid?
edly classic, particularly in conjunction with
the gold Greek bands, which are now the most
fashionable for the hair.
NEW HARDWARE AND LEATHER ORNAMENTS.
But the taste for ornaments is not by any
means confined to the classic and antique. The
most absurd fancies prevail, aud a design is
valued, not for its beauty, but for its eccentri?
city. The broad sashes looped low, and often
used to tie up the ovcrskirt on the left side or
at the back, are now fashionably paasod
through enormous gilt or velvet covered rings,
and size being an object, huge furniture rings
are resorted to, and rings made of wood and
afterwards covered with velvet. To tho small?
er rings of fire gilt, kuys, or a singlo gilt key
is attached, iu imitation of an ancient house?
keeping method of banging a bunch of keys at
the side ol' tho dress. There is something
Sirofane, however, in adopting as a caprico of
ashion the insignia of an old-fashioned virtue.
Chains and chatelaines aro also worn, the form?
er consisting of not less than five, from the
ends of which are[suspended ascent-bottle and
bunch of enlarged "charms." The wide sash
ends, which descend low on the skirt, aro now
made of either piece antin, silk or velvet, and
are embroidered upon the ends with the mono,
gram in colors, or coat of arms of the wearer"
THU CHATELAINES
are a much older institution. It is sevoral
seasons since they wore introduced, and this
winter they have been again revived. They
consist of a sort of bunch of silk, satiu or vel?
vet, embroidered, and suspeuded by two em?
broidered bands from thc waist; they hold the
scent bottle and tiny laoe handkerchief. A new
style for morning wear is made of Viennese
leather, and consists of belt and chatelaine,
ornamented with very small gilt or steel nails.
Keys, small vessels fully rigged, jockev capB
mounted with sporting emblems, and tie like,
are the latest Parisian invention for ear-rings,
and the designs are embroidered on the cor?
ners of the pocket handkerchiefs. Very new
handkerchiefs have centres of unbleached
cambric and wide hems of lilac, red, violet or
blue; of course they are only used for morning
or indoor wear. Handkerchiefs for the streets
are embroidered with crest, monogram or de?
vice, and lace are used for the evening with
only the smallest of cambric. Such handker?
chiefs as these and the last are not iuteuded
for use. A flue lady employs it like her fan
and boquet, as a means of fascination and not
a vulgar necessity.
BRIDAL OUTFITS.
Allusion hos been made moro than once to
the difficulty of procuring ladies' ready-made
clothing even in the large cities. Establish?
ments for ladies' outfits aro advertised and
talked of, but there aro none where complete
outfits ot different grades or even of one grade
eau be obtained at once, and tbe price imme?
diately ascertained. In London and Paris
complete bridal outfits of at least throe differ?
ent grades can be obtained at a moment's no?
tice, and the cost seen at a glance by printed
lists. There is a long day's work to find an. es
t?mate of tba vari?os articles, which never
proves a correct one, and to which, by one
pretence or other, a largo or small sum is al?
ways afterwards added. Moreover, there is no
stock to select from, nearly every article most
be made and the bili, however plain the (tar?
mont, foote np into large proportions. A la?
dies' furnishing establishment where outfits
could be obtained tasteful and lady-like in de?
sign, careful and good in material, neat in
workmanship, and of various grades, ia an ab?
solute want in New York city and would re?
alize a fortune if properly conducted. It must
be content with reasonable profits however, if {
it would bo a popular institution and not expect
two hundred per cent, on tho cost of every
article mode. The following table of a trous?
seau for twenty poundfl sterling is copied from
the original list of a London ladies' outfitting

JENNIE JUNE.
THE DEATH'S HEAD CLUB.
BY WALTER THORNBURY.
I. THE ABBIVAL
An August evening at Savannah, that
?trange somber town of Georgia; eight men,
planters, bat alien born, four of them lately
returned from the West Indies, were sitting
drinking burgundy in the balcony of the first
floor of the Muscogco House in Bay-street,
tho fashionable hotel of the city at the period
of our story-tho year preceding the war ol
independence.
The gi ave and mysterious city was that
August evening quieter and more silent than
usual. The broad unpaved streets were deep
with soft saud, that muffled the wheels of tho
cotton-bale wagons and of the carts laden witli
rice, jost arrived from Augusta. Here and
there a negro dozed upon a door step, or chat?
ted with some gossip in a stealthy way at a
street corner; indeed the whole city iwould
have seemed silent as a cemetery, but for the
wild mocking laughter that rose from th? bal
cony, where tho Cbattahowchie (or Death's
Head ) Club was holding its nightly revel. The
laughter was an exasperating laughter, loud,
defiant, taunting, and insolent-the sort ol'
laughter that would have made a high-spirited
man passing by slip his hand to his sword, and
look up to discover whence the jarring sound
had come.
A sudden gleam of light through the open
folding doors of an inner room, that showed
the dining-room and sanctum of the Duelists'
Club ready for the reception, seemed to act as
a mute signal for the men to return to the
table for more wine, and to rally onco more
round the chairman. The room was decorated
in a way that could only have been carried out
by men of wealth, who had grafted on their
natural vices the morbid, farouche, aud fantas?
tic extravagance peculiar at that time to Span
ish and French voluptuaries in the West In
dies. Pleasure among these men had none of
the French gaiety about it. They were wan
ton, arrogant, ruthless, quarrelsome and over
bearing-conscious of being the dread of half
Georgia, and proud of tho fear they had ex
cited.
It was scarcely a wonder that the mystery
and terror with which they had surrounded
their iuiquitous association, together with tho
frequency of their deadly duels-nearly always
fatal to their adversaries-had roused the fear
and hatred of-tho citizens of Savannah.
Their club room was bombie and ghastly in
itu decorations; yet, bat for the crimes of those
who sat there, and the fact of thoir braggadocio
hoing backed by their daring, it would have
appeared merely puerile and theatrical. The
room was hong with black cloth, on which was
worked in silver thread the names of all per?
sons who had fallen by the sword or pistole of
the members, and the date of each death. Over
the mantel-piece was a large star, composed of
death's head moths, aud a large rack fall of
swords and saw-handled pistols; each locked in
it? place like the favorite cues in a billiard room
The cups were human skulls, lined with silver,
in tho manner Byron afterward perpetuated in
England; and a bleached skull projected from
the ghastly pinnacle ot'the black d?as that spread
above the chairman's seat. Everything that
could bo black was black but the chairs, und
they were covered with rod velvet and studded
with silver nails-in a way to horribly remind
one of state coffins. Beside every group of
wine cups lay a pistol, to be employed iu case
of an immediate duel springing up from any
sudden disagreement botween two members.
It was no wonder that exaggerated reports of
the mysterious and unhallowed orgieB of thepe
young rake-hells had invested their meetings
with an atmosphere of almost supernatural
horror. The vice of these troubled times waa
as defiant and reckless as it was heartless and
cruel.
Two members of the Death's Head Club,
more lazy, or more contemplative than tho
others, remained in the outer room loaning
over the balcony, watching night darken down
the street, where the fitful lamps now grew
momentarily brighter; the ono a dark, hand?
some young fellow, with cold keen eyes and a
malign mouth, was rapping the balconv-rail
with his sword-hilt; tho other, a red, flush?
ed, swaggering, dissolute-looking old officer,
whose blood-shot eyes seemed staring out of
his head, was carelessly shuttling a pack ol'
cards with the practiced air of an inveterate
gambler. Heated with wiuo, the two revelers
seemed to bathe themselves in tho cool eve?
ning air, that blew freshened from tho river.
It bad been a burning day; and the very houses
seemed calmly enjoying the cool twilight
brocze.
All at once there was a sound of wheols, a
furious clack of whips, loud as pistol shots,
and a large dusty travelling carriage swept
round the coiner ol' Broad-street. It was
drawn by four foaming black horses, and the
two negro postilions, who shouted at the tired
animals to urgo them on, were dressed in
showy scarlet and yellow jackets. The vehi
clo (hew up at the door of the Muscogoe
Hotel.
Tho carriage door instantly opened, and out
stepped a tall, gaunt officer, in French uniform,
who handed out hie travelling companion, Tho
lady, evidently his daughter, waa a young girl
of about eighteen, and o:' a beauty of tl*
rareefc and most perfect tyr e. Some fire-flies
that the servant had caught for ber, in the
course of the journey, glistened like diamonds
in her dark nair, and gave an Undine sort of
character to her pale, sensitive and intellec?
tual face, and seemod to catt such sparkles on
her large, dark, Italian eyes, as stray stars cast
upon a river at midnight. She was dressed in
black; and that sombre color, so jarring with
outh, Beemcd only to spiritualize the tender
eauty of her face and the delicate symmetry
of her form.
"Why, Clisaon, ifs that colonel's daughter
you made love to at Guadeloupe !" said the el?
der of the men in the balcoiiy. "May I never
Bweop the board again, if it isn't Miss Dolores
Maasardl O, you lucky 'log I Egad, you
mast propose to ber again; and if she won't
have you, carry her OH, md we'll standby
you."
"You are right, Johnson; it is Dolores," said
the younger man, leaning eagerly over the bal?
cony. "Yes, it is; bow beautiful she looks!
And there's that sour beggar of a father, whom
the General would not Iel me tight wish,
though he refusod me Dolores. Now, Ml have
my revenge. He shall figh t me now, or give
mo bis daughter's band. I know abe still
loves me-I know that-"
"The colonel refused to tight members of
our club at Guadalonpe I" sud the other sav?
agely. "He called us gamblers and assassins;
but we'll try bim now. Hera, you men, come
here."
Clisson and Johnson rm into the other
room. The elder explained matters. The
o un ger laid down his cruel scheme in a few
oe ty sentences.
"The fighting member af the night has a
right to a kiss from every lady that enters this
house. He must demand b is right-he will be
refused; he mnst then force his claims and
fight the colonel. I shall pretend to interfere
to carry out a certain plan of my own against
the lady; but that ia nothing to any of you. If
tho colonel wounds tho man of the night, the
next member in rotation fights him. He will
not pass two of us. Johnson's lunge at thc
arm-pit is protty sure. I killed a man hut
week; but I am tho last ou the list now. You
know I don't fear fighting; bit we must take our
turna. You havo all sworn to carry out the
schemes of any of your brother members."
" We are ready," cried tia men.
Tho fighting member-tba brave on the bal?
cony-hesitated a moment aa be took down his
cocked bat and sword from a nail behind the
door.
"I have taken rather too much bur?
gundy,'' ho said, "to bo very steady; but I
think 1 could run a house fi;.' through the head
at tho second pasB. Como, let's feel the fel?
low's pulse."
Tho men put on their swords, and descended
in a noisy body to the private apartments to
which the waiters had just ushered the colonel
and his daughter.
" Hot fools," said Clisson to himself ; " they
little know that the colonel has an incompara?
ble parry, and a return thirst which he plants
just under the left collar bone ; that no duellist
m France who over crossed swords with him
has escaped that thrust ; and that two out of
three it has killed."
An the deputation of the Death's Head Club
pressod into the room, the colonel met them
sternly at the door.
"Gentleman, you mistako, thia is a private
roora.''
Captain Johnson, the fighting member, ad?
vanced at once in an insolent manner to Colo?
nel Massard and his daucli^er, who had come
from an inner room, and w ia now clinging to
his arm, alarmed at the menacing and disso?
lute faces of the intruders.
"It is the custom at the Muscogce House,"
aaid the bully, "in our club fur the fighting
member of tho nie;ht to den and a kiaa of every
lady guest who arrives hore. For that we have
now come. I am the fighting member. My
dear mademoiselle, allow me."
He laid one largo red hand on tho shoulder
of the shrinking girl. The next moment he lay
half stunned upou the fioor,
Tho Colonol stood with ono foot on Johnson,
and waved his drawn sword in bis hand. The
club drew back.
"Kill him P cried tho prostrate bully.
Three or four mou drew their swords and
advanced; but tho Colonel struck one in tho
arm, thc test tel! back boforj his furious
charge.
At that moment, Clisson forced bis way tu
thc front.
"Gentlemen," ho said, with assumed indig?
nation, "this is unmanly, thi? is unworthy of
brave men, you aro six to ono. The colonel is,
no doubt, ready to givo any one of you satis?
faction."
? Dolores recognized him, and, lookiug up,
thanked him silently with u faint smile.
"Young man," said thc colonel sternly, "I
can protect myself against even a dozon such
ruffians. I have long ago loirned how to guard
my own hoad. I have hoard before of your
association of murderers; I vowed to check it,
as I did at Gaudaloupe. You have hurried on
vom- own doom. I did it there by tho law;
here I ? iii do it by tue sword. L will fight you
ono by ono, in your owu order and in your own
place. If 1 fall, thoro are fi.ieuds iu the town
who will take caro of my deughtor.
Chsaon advanced and o Ile red bis band.
"No," he said; "I remera ber you; you aro a
gambler and a duellist. I refused you Dolores
then, aud I refuao you now. Hhe needs no
Erotection cf yours. I seo other old friends
ere, too, less unwelcome ".han yourself : Cap?
tain Johnson, drummed out of his regiment
for selling information to the enemy; Mr.
Thornton, a detected gambler, sent to prison
in New Orleans for us im: loaded dice. Mr.
Clisson, vou neod givo mci no other proof ot
your reformation; 1 see it by your compan?
ions."
IL THE HEN CO NTH E.
Thc rules of the Death's Head Club required
their duels to be by candlelight, without sec?
onds; the combatants were locked in the club
room till the victor gave the signal for the
doors to be opened. The colonel made no ob?
jection to these restrictions. He only binded
haughtily when he saw tho theatrical horrors
of the room.
"Good to frighten children," he said; "but
good for nothing else. I prefer fighting with?
out seconds. One eau devote oneself more
thoroughly to the work on hand; besides, there
?B leas interruption. Have you a surgeon
ready, gentlemen V"
" There is no need of a surgeon," said his
antagonist, the red-faeed ijaptaiu he had trod?
den under foot the night before. " My sword
generally saves any expemies that way.-'
Tho doors were lockod. There was a heavy
stamping of feet as Captain Johnson advanced
to the attack; then a sound of ahivered-ateel, a
gasping cry, and a heavy fall upon the floor.
"You may open tho door, gentlemen," aaid a
voice. Tho door was open 3d, and there lay the
champion of tho club wounded to death. His
broken sword was at the further end of the
room; tho colonel, as they entered, horror
stricken, took oil' his hat, sheathed his sword,
bowed, and retired. The olub was astonished
and dumbfounded. The captain had boon run
through tho lungs, just under the left collar?
bone. Thero was httlo hope of his life. Tho
aecond and third days tho'colonel dangerously
wounded Iiis man in an equally short space of
time, and with equal cold and formal gravity.
UL THE BB3BET.
Tho evening of tho third day, as Dolores
Massard sat in her roora nt hor tambonr-trnme,
iu the absence of her father, who had como on
a secret commission from the French Govern?
ment to some of thc planters near ?Savannah,
disaffected to the EugUa!a Government, her
black mu-so, suddenly entering tho roora, whis?
pered in a low, frightened voice:
"Young gentleman, dear! old friend to see
missy !"
The woman had boen bribed by Glisson, who
now entering the room, throw himself at tho
feet of Dolores, and scizinr her hand, covored
it with passionate kisses.
"Dear Dolores," he said; "ray life, my soul,
do vou love me no longer?''
"Oh, Frank, you must not see me hero. My
father has forbidden mo io see you."
"Dolores, you lovid mo once. Do you re?
member that'night by the sea-shore, when we
exchanged those vows of c ternnl love V'
"Ask your owu heart, Frank-ask it if I can
forget that on the death-lied of my mother I
swore uovor to give my hand to you. Aud that
vow I will koop." .
"Dolores, vou do me wrong. Von think lam
one of those wild, reckless men who insulted
your father. I am not one or those mon. I
tried iu vniu to repress their insolence. I como
to you now as a suppliant To-morrow my
father lights yours. 1 know he must die. I
know that noshing can save him from thc irre?
sistible swordsmanship that has already struck
down mau after man. I would willingly die
for my father; but ho will not let me take his
place because I am not ono of tai? baud of pro-1
fessional assassins. O, Dolore ?, does not vi;ur
heart bleed fer me ? Pity me, pity me, Dolores;
tormented by this tembl? fear, and helpl-ias
before this cinel destiny."
"Frank, wy heart does bleed for you; but
how, how car I help you V I have no powei."
The perfidious lover clasping her in his arms,
tears rose in his eyes. "Yon have the power,"
ho cried. "Tell me your father's secret of
success. My father, knowing this,can bale
him and disarm him. Aa I hope for succor in
my last hour, it is only to save my father that
I ask this."
Dolores sa ak her head for a moment; then
she flung her arms round C liss on's neck nnd
kissed his forehead.
"Frank," she said, "though we may nerer
more see each other in this world, T. cannot re?
fuse this request, for I know how deo: a
father's life hi. I can trust yon, Frank, lkn >w,
with the secret that guards the lire thai, is
bound np with mine. My father, years ago,
lost his left arm at a siege in India; it was re?
placed by one of wood, skilfully made, workng
with metal springs, and strengthened below
the elbow by metal bands. On this he recei res
his adversary's first thrust; then, quick as
thought, he breaks in two his enemy's bl.de
with a heavy side blow, and delivers his fi .tal
thrust under the left collar bone..''
Glisson'? lips were pressed to hers, whe a a
warning from tho black nurse of the colonel's
carriage stopping at the hotel door, distuned
the lovers, and they parted with a hurried but
passioned embrace.
That same night-to the astonishment of
the club and the no great sorrow of the next
combatant-Clisson announced his intention of
being the next man to cross swords with the
colonel.
"I have my reasons," he said; "and to-night
I carry off the girl."
"But that confounded thrust?" suggested
th J chairman. '
"0, leave that to me. I did not learn fenc?
ing of Destouches for nothing; never yon fear
me."
"Clisson has got some mischief in hai d,"
said one of the men; "his eyes sparkle so, ana
he is in such mad spirits. Well, I'd just as
soon he fought this colonel before me. I'd
rather the old fellow got a thrust or two in bis
sword-arm before my turn, came."
The duel took place the next morning. The
colonel paused when he saw Clisson. The
doors closed, and they were left alone.
"Young man," he said, "we have old grudg?
es,, and it is well we meet. Have you not ta ken
wirrung by your companions? Will nothing
teach you wisdom ? I thonght Ul of you in
Guadaloupe, and refused yon my daughter, ind
here I find you the member of a club of assas?
sins. Come, draw, sir."
"Colonel Massard,*' said Clisson, biting his
under hp till the blood almost came, "you owe
more to good fortune than to skill or COUTI ge.
I, too, have been fortunate with the sword.
Luck may turn this time. I have my compan?
ions to revenge, and your insults, old and r.ew,
to repay tlireefold."
The colonel threw his hat behind him, and
drew his sword.
"Young man," he said, "I am told that in
your club priority goes according to the num?
ber of homicides you have efiected. Ju that
caso you have not made, I presume, more than
two or three widows. Now, sir, comer death
waits for you."
The colonel was cold and sternly resolute;
but there was no eargernesa for blood in the
manner in which he advanced to the att ?ck.
There was more of the judge than the execu?
tioner about him as he looked around the lim
ghastly room. He seemed as confident of vic?
tory as if he had been sent hom heave 1 to
perform a punishment that had been prophe?
sied. He stood there a frame of steel, his
Bword feeling along his adversary's blade, i en?
suive of the finest vibration and thirsting for
the thrust.
Glisson also stood keen of eye and watchful.
Suddenly tho colonel dasbed bis left arm al bis
point. The wooden fingers opened to clutch
the blade. Glisson saw the moment had arriv?
ed. He passed his point to the right, threw
off his adversary's sword, and then, with a
swift clinging pressure toward the hilt, bent it
to tbe floor. The colonel drew back astor, ish
od; but careless of hhs life, he did not ruthe
from the threatening sword that was raised to
strike him to the heart. Glisson delayed his
vengance only to taste it tho longer.
He had pierced his adversary's left shoulder,
and the sword was raised for the coup de grace,
when the folding-doors of the inner room had?
ing to the balcony were dashed open; it was
Dolores who rushed in, and drawing a piiitol,
fired at her cruel and faithless lover, wno fell
to the ground, pierced by a ball in the cl est.
The brave girl, a soldier's daughter, perlect
ly reliant ou her lover's truth, yet still, she
knew not why, apprehensive of the result of
the duel, had concealed herself, armed, in the
iunor room of the club, with the co-operation
of her faithful black nurse. The first KO rd
spoken by Clisson proved to her that she had
buen betrayed; and bearing her father in dan?
ger, abo at once appeared on the scene os an
avenging angel, to save her father, and punish
her worthless and lying lover.
"Gentlemen," said tho Colonel, who had
heard all from Dolores, as he threw open tbe
door and admitted the now terrified club, "it
was my daughter who struck down this ?ian,
not I. He was a liar and a scoundrel; he broke
bis word, and he has deserved his fate, even if
it be instant death. Take up your champion;
I have punished you uow enough. To-night
my daughter and myself depart for New Or?
leans, where I can be heard of by any of your
club still wishing to cross swords."
Glisson eventually recovered, and flea to
South America; he reappeared during the War
of Independence, but sank lower and lo wer in in?
famy, till a pistol shot over a gambling table at
Callao finally rid the world of a hopelesu vii-1
hun. As for Colonel Massard, he settled after
the peace in Arkansas, and mainly helped to
reclaim that wild terricory from the Indiai-s.
: Dolores Mussard, three years after the down?
fall of the Death's Head Club, married a rela?
tive of Georgo Washington. Her descendants
are now wealthy people in Louisiana, and have
large estates a few miles from Baton Beuge,
on the banks of the Mississippi.

CHARGED.-A New Yol k letter, dated on Mon?
day says:
The extensive carpet manufactory of Messrs.
Higgins A Co., Forty-third-street, employing
about fourteen hundred hands, was the scene
of considerable excitement this morning, in
consequence of a large number of the employ?
ees quitting work because their wages w ire to
be reduced ten per cent., "owing to the stigna
tion in trade." The operativea say that uageB
aro already BO low that they can hardly keep
their families from starving. The movement,
it is said, will include all hands, though i-,s yet
not more than about one-half refuse to work.
Most of the large steel and iron warks in West?
chester County, New York, are discharging
their hands. At the Mott Haven Iron Works,
usually employing one hundred and eighty
five men, only twenty-five ore now at work. At
Jones' Foundry, Mott Haven, Saturday night
fifty mm were discharged.
The New York Times, of Wednesday, siva :
"The workmen-nearly one thousand-em?
ployed in the railroad shops at Scranton, Pa.,
were yesterday notified that a reduction nf ten
per cent, on their wages would be mai le to
dav. The shops have recently been working
on" eight-hemt' time. The proprietors cf the
Dixon Iron Works, at the same place, lfhich
employs about seven hundred men, gt.ye a
similar notice to their employees yesterday,
and will also reduce the number of workmein
by discharging many of the single men. The
Lackawana Iron Company at Scranton recently
discharged a large number of men, an 3 will
further reduce ita force to-day."
The New York World, of Wednesday, si.ye:
"On last Saturday the Superintendent of
Prospect Park, under the direction of the Park
Commissioners, discharged some seven hun?
dred men. These men are now beseeching
their frionda to have them reinstated, but this,
of course, cannot ne done. The workingmen

"Alargo number of men have been thrown
