? _ . . "? ? mm . My friend Grant Selwyn waa employed, aa a clerk in tho Dead Letter Offloe, and; as my health was not good, I wrote av acceptance to his cordial invitation to make him'a visit, and accordingly one pleasant May evening found me nearing Selwyn's home. I received a warm welcome from his family, whioh consisted of his young wife, a rosy, laughing brunetto, and his mother. The next morning after my arrival, Grant asked me to acoompany him to the office. **It is rather dull there, I will allow," said he, "but you may bo able to Gnd something amuug the old letters to amuse yon." Now, I delight in reading old letters, so I did not need much urging. We were seated before tho long table at the office, when I noticed a letter direoted in a delicate, womanly hand, to "Marmaduke Vance, Riverdale, N. Y." I took it np to examino it, and as I opened tho sheet, a plain gold ri UK fell from it to the floor. The words, "Maud, from Duke," were engraven inside. The letter ran as follows: "DEAB DUKE: We must not see each other again. My father commands me to marry Jacob Armstrong, sud I cannot disobey him. You know how stcru and unyielding ho can be. I havo begged ana prayed in vain. We must part, and thia ia dj last farewell; but I shall always be true to you. Farewell, dear Duke. I shall never love another. May God bless you. MAUD." Duke Vance was my dearest friend and obum in college. His father's death and failure, soon after wo left school, had left him alone in the world, and penni? less. So, at tho time tho letter was written-nearly two yonrs ago-ho had entered a small dry goods store iu the country town of Riverdale, on a meagre salary that barely supported him. He wrote to me soon after, and said he was going to Australia, and wo might never meet again. I wondered what had caused this sudden decision, and had never forgotten him. But two years had passed and brought no word from him, and I had given him up for dead. On my lost visit homo, (I had been traveling for a year,) I had noticed a pale, golden-haired girl, flitting around our house; but my short stay at home had prevented my moro than speaking to her and learning that her name was Maud Southerlnnd-that sha was our governess. Hor sweet, blue eyes seemed always brimming over with tears, aud had a far-away look in them. After I left homo, my mother wrote that abo bad lost her governess, just when tho children loved her so much. That: Que of thc wealthy men of tho city-Jacob Armstrong-twice Maud's age, had been attracted by tho beauty of the girl, and had taken her to be mistress of his family home. Poor Maud had almost cried her eyes out, but her lather, a poor, worthless creature, had told her if she did uot marry Armstrong, he would kill "that Vance fellow," just as sure as she disobeyed him. This had the desired effect, aud Maud was liviug in luxury. I thought over all this, and look the letter nud ring and put them in my pocket, resolved to keep them for Duke Vance, should he ever return, and tell him what I had learned, for he no doubt thought her heartless, and that she no longer loved him. I took up a paper to read until time for Grant to leave, aud this caught my eye among the notices of the dead : "Jacob Armstrong died suddenly of apoplexy on tho 20th inst." So, thought I, poor Maud Souther land is free. A few days after, while walking down the crowded street, I carno face to face with Duke Vance. "Trevalyn, old fellow, how aro you?" was his first greeting, as he grasped my hand. "Vance! how came you here? I thought you were in Australia," said I. "So I have been, but am once more in my native land. Come up to my rooms, my boy, and we will have a talk over old times." He had grown bronzed and brown, bat was still the same Duke of old. After we had chatted awhile, I said, somewhat abruptly: "By-the-way, Duke, what has become of the little golden-haired beauty you used to rave so about?" A troubled look of pain came into his fine, brown eyes. "Don't, Guy; you don't know what you ask." He spoke calmly; but tho muscles around his bearded month trembled. Without further ado, I placed tho let? ter and ring in his hand, while I ex? plained how they came into my posses? sion. He read it and sprang to his feet, all tho look of pain gone for a moment. "Dear friend," ho cried, "you have made mo a new man. But," ho added, "it is too late now; she is my Maud no longer. But I know sho loves mo still, wherever she is, no matter what is her uamo." And he suuk buck in his seat with a sigh. I quietly gave him the paper, and pointed to old Armstrong's death. Ho seized his hat and darted from the room, without so much as bidding me good-by." Two weeks after, I was at homo again, and, walking down the street one even? ing in Juno, a hand was placed on my shoulder, and a rich, manly voice said: "Aren't you going to speak to au old friend, Trevalyn?" I turned, and caught Duke Vance by tho hand; eager words of inquiry trem? bling on my lips. But he broke out with "I have found her, Guy, and I am the happiest mau alive!" "Of course, you are," said I, laughing. "All accepted lovers are tho happiest men in tho world. Accept my hearty congratulations." lie laughed merrily. All the old look Waa gono from bio oyes, and in its place was a steady, shining light, arid Tkti?w lie waa happy. ? "Come with me, Gay," he said; "I am just going to see Maud. She will be glad to see yon, for we bavo talked of nobody but you, except ourselves," laughing. "So, Duke," said I, on the wny, "you are not afraid that she will think you a fortune-hunter?" "No, indeed I You told me my good news so soon that day, I did not have time to tell yon I made my fortuno in Australia; and I am nearly as wealthy as her former husband. Wo will not be married until New Year's. You will bo present on the occasion?" "I shall bo only too happy," was my reply. We reached the house and rang the bell. A servant let us in, and at tho same moment a fairy form carno flying down tho stairway, and a silvery voice cried : "Oh, Dukel what made you-" She stopped abruptly at sight of me. He put his arm around her, and drew her to his side. "Darling, you remember Guy?" "To be sure I do," was her reply, and she came and put her small, white hands in mine, and said, earnestly: "I never forgot your face, although I saw it so few times. You looked as though you pitied me, and pity then was sweet. Siuco, I havo cause to remember vnu. for ynn wore the means of cur hap? piness. I can never thank you ns I should." "No thanks aro needed, Mrs. Arm? strong," I answered. "I am only too glad to do anything for my friendDuke." They were married at New Year's, and aro lovers still; for their union was blest with n deep, pure love that will always last. Neither of them will ever forget those dark years through which they passed to tho happiness beyond. TUE WORLD is A MUSEUM.-Those of our reuders who havo visited New York, and sauntered through its crowded tho? roughfares, will recognize the* picture drawn below: Tho whole globe is a museum to those who havo eyes to see. liare plays are unfolded before every man who cnn read tho drama of life intelligently. Not go to tho theatre? Wicked to sec plays? Every street is a theatre. Ono canuot open his eyes without seeing unconscious players. There aro Othellos, and Ham? lets, and Dears, and Falstaff's; Ophelias, aud Rosalinds, and Juliets, all about us. I "Midsummer Night Dreams" aro per? forming in our heavens. Happy? A walk up and down Broadway, New York, or Fulton street, in Brooklyn, is ns good as a play. The children, tho nurses, the maidens, the mothers, tho wealthy every bodys, the queer men, tho unconscious buffoons, thc drolls, tho earnest nonsense, and the whimsical earnestness of men, the shop-windows, the cars, tho horses, tho carriages-bless us-them is not half time enough to enjoy all that is to be seen in theso things! Or, if thc mood i takes you, go in aud talk with the peo? ple-choosing, of course, fitting times J and seasons. Be cheerful yourself and j good-uaturcd and respectful, and every man has a secret for yon worth knowing. There is a school-master waitiug for you behind every door. Every shopman bas a look of life different from yours. Hu? man nature puts on ns many kinds of foliago ns trees do, and is far better worth studying. Auger ia not alike in any two men, nor pride, nor vanity, nor love. Every fool is a special fool, and there is no duplicate. What ore trades and all kinds of business but laborato? ries where tho ethereal thought is trans? muted into some visible shape of mat? ter? What are workmen but translators of mind into mntter? Men are cutting, sawing, filing, fitting, joining, polishing. But every orticlo is so much mind con? densed into matter. Work is incarna? tion. Nobody knows a city who only drives along its streets. There aro vaults under streets, cellars under houses, attics above, shops behind. At every step men are found tucked nway in some queer nook, doing unexpected things, themselves odd and full of entertaining knowledge. -. ? - THIRTY CENTURIES OLD.-The oldest relic of humanity extant is the skeleton of tho earliest Pharaoh, encased in its original burial robes, and wonderfully perfect, considering its ago, which was deposited eighteon or twenty months ago, in the British Museum, and is justly considered tho most valuable of its archaeological treasures. The lid of the ! coffin was inscribed with the name of its j occupant, Pharaoh MykeBimus, who sue-1 ceeded tho heir of tho builder of the great pyramid, about ten centuries be- '' foro Christ. Only think of it-tho monarch whose j crumbling bones and leathery integu- \ ments aro exciting tho wonder of the numerous gazers in London, reigued in . Egypt before Solomon was born, and only about eleven centuries or so after! Misraim, tho grand son of old father Noah, and tho first of the Pharaohs, had been gathered to his fathers! Why tho tide mark of tho deluge could scarcely have been obliterated, or tho gopher wood knee timbers of the ark havo rotted on Mount Ararat, when this man of tho early world lived, moved and had his being. His flesh and blood were progenitors of tho great patriarch. A Japanese rabbit, otherwise known us a skunk, imprudently got in the way of a Paterson train, Thursday night, and was chawed up in a twinkling. But tho spiteful little vermin had his post mortem satisfaction, and made the passengers distinctly understand they weife in error if they thought his life wasn't worth a scent. Miss Fanny Rutherford is city physi? cian of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and at her "inauguration" tho oath was ad? ministered by a notary public also of tho feminine gender. -----:-T.-r-rr-r-r--r=-rr--^ Leo, th? aorroopondent of tho Charles? ton Courier, writes as follows of the mia oiou of Bonator Robertson to Washing-, ton: Senator Bobertson, of South Carolina, has been here recently. The object of his visit was to see the President in re? gard to a foroe of United States troops remaining in South Carolina. Senator Bobertson asked the President not to re? move the Federal troops now in tho State, or if those were removed, to send others in their place. The Senator said he recommended this in the interest of peace and harmony. That both parties in the Stato would be pleased with the presence of the Federal troops; tbnt small detachments stationed at different court-houses would restrain any tenden? cy to collision; that it was not all advi? sable to send colored troops organized in tho State to points where irritation ex? isted, as it might be attended with bad consequences. Senator Bobertson said ho spoke in the interest of both parties, and in tho interest of peace, inasmuch as he anxiously desired to allay all ani? mosities and promote general good will. The President responded favorably to the Senator's appeals, and promptly en? gaged not to remove the troops now in the State, or if he did, replace them with others. -. m ? ? A version of what is called the Empe? ror Napoleon's pamphlet on the cam? paign of 1870, appeared n few days ago j in a London paper. The Imperial plan of campaign was to mass 150,000 men at Metz, 100,000 at Strasburg, and 50,000 at Chalons, and to cross the Rhino near Hagueuau with a largo force so as to divide Germany, win tho first great j battle, and secure the allianco of Austria j aud Italy in imposing neutrality on tho South German States. Thc defective military system aud delay in bringing up men and material frustrated tho plan, and the German?, having some time to bring their forces forward, outnumbered the French, and put them on tho defen? sive. A new plan was theu made neces? sary, iuvolving a retreat on Chalons. Thia the Regency opposed as discourag? ing to the public. He yielded his con? victions, and adopted McMahon's plan of relieving Metz, which ended in catas? trophe. Tho author analyzes the battle of Sedan and thc causes of tho German successes, aud points ont many defects in tho French army. There can be bat one opinion about Napoleon's pamphlet explanation of his career, before and after tho fact of its inauguration in con? nection with the Franco-Prussian war. As the New York Times says, as an apology, it is lame; as a criticism, it has been forestalled, and as a bid for re? newed confidence, it caunot fail to be Utterly powerless. It only adds another 1 to the many proofs lately given, that the i Emperor's days as a vigorous adminis- ! trutor are over, that the nauio ?ie bore has lost its charm, oud that tho ideas he ! represented have C3ase.l to bo synony- I mons with patriotic devotion and national I strength. Having lost everything, and plunged his country iuto abject misery, he now insists iu showing France and the world not how his disastrous cam? paign of 1S70 may bs retrieved, but how tho desperate game was lost. To this end, he has published a pamphlet contain? ing not a word that is new to our read? ers, aud the explanations are interesting only in so far as they contradict the flamboyant proclamations issued by tho fallen Emperor on the eve of embarking in his lust rash campaign. ANOTHER VICTIM.-Baltimore, being overwhelmingly Democratic, is threat? ened with the military on Tuesday next, election day. The New York Express, alluding to the coercion business gene? rally, Bays: "The city which called forth the 'Star Spangled Banner* during tho threatened bombardment by British ships and Bri? tish invaders, ought not to bo thus in? sulted; nor ought the city of New York, which once did its best to keep out a hired foreign soldiery, and which has re? joiced every November over its evacua? tion from foreign mercenary troops, quartered upon the people in time of peace. Tho Federal authorities, by their usurpations and innovations, wo regret to say, aro doiug their very best to de? stroy that love and respect which good ; citizens would liko to have for a parental Government." ALABAMA CLAIMS.-We arc informed : that the most persistent and unyielding of the private citizens who have claims rs. tho British Government are Dr. J. C. Ayer A Co., of Lowell, Mass., the manu? facturers of medicines. They will con? sent to nothing less than that their de? mand for medicines destroyed by the British pirates shall bo paid in gold and in dollars to tho last cent. They aro emboldened by the fact that the destruc? tion of their goods by the English ia ('luna and elsewhere (for where are not that, troublesome nation trampling upon somebody?) bavo hitherto been paid in full, and they now say that they shall be. They however proposo this compromise: Givo ns Canada, and we will call it even, because wo can thou send our remedies there without duty.- Washington News. DEATH OF AN OLD ISRAELITE.-Mr. Napthal Phillips, one of the oldest American Israelitos in the United States, died in New York on Tuesday, in the 9bth year of his age. Ho was n native of New York, and one of the founders of tho Tammany Society, was for forty years employed in the onstom-honse, anti for a long time the proprietor of the New York Evening Star. A monster, at Cleveland, Ohio; Inst week, while iu a state of intoxication, threw his child out of doors and beat his wifo to death. Which appears dh n communication J? a] ?nw York paper,1 ?B ? piece'of informa? tion that many do not possess: "Thej? word 'Jew'^is ndt'tbe name for the once great nation bf Palestine, but it merely describes thoir faith or belief. If you should auk mo what religion I have, my answer would be, "I am a Jew.' Ask my nationality-my answer, *I um a German.' Tho same ns a Protestant eau be an Irishman, as well as a Catholic can bo*a German, or n Jew can be a French? man. Mr. Sig. Kaufmann is a German by nationality and a Jew by religion; and if a Jew is boru in Dublin, ho is as welt an Irishman as a German born in New York is an American. I don't believe there is a Jew living on tho globe that could trace his descent; for when the emigration from Asia to Europe took place, Jows and Gentiles went there as well as Jews and Gentiles carno to Ame? rica. You have attended Jewish wed? dings and funerals as well as Catholic, and both were Germans. Can a Jew be a Teuton, or can a Lutheran bo an Ame? rican, are both the samo question. The Jewish religion is taught all over the globe." -?- ^ # ? -- MARSHAL BAZAINE.-All doubts about Ibo character of thc capitulation of Metz, are now dispersed. Tho garrison and | the inhabitants so suffered for want of j food that a surrender was imperatively I demanded by humanity and by tho rules' and traditions of war between civilized nations. As fur, therefore, ns the simple I act of surrender is concerned, Bazaine! stands freo from any reproach of treason I or collusion with tho Prussian army., He could not act differently. It is an extromely painful thought that a man who had by various sallies from the city I shown moro bravery and good general? ship than any other French commander, should now bo accused of treason, when ho surrendered to a terrible, but una? voidable, fatality. Those who thus wantonly accuse tho bravo officer happi? ly cannot tarnish tho fume of a man who might have dono immense service to his country had ho from tho Btart been free in his actions. The noble red men do not indulge in protuberant middle names, but they make up for this in tho delicacy of their cognomens. A noticeable appellative in the aboriginal cattlo-ouguo is that of Sitting Bull, a chief out West whoso overcoat has been captured by tho whites. A Sioux City paper describes j tho garment as of barbaric splendor, and remarks that it is the handiwork o'f S. B.'s favorite daughter, Reclining Heifer. LYINC. AS AN ART.-A quasi-religious1 paper at thc North, in au article on ''lying ns ii political force," remarks "that thc improvement in tho art of j lying seems to have kept pace with that ? made in all the other arts which contri? bute to the comfort or entertainment of' mankind." It is moro perhaps the mix- j ing of religion with politics that leads to ? this admirable state of things than any-' thing else. Let the religious press keep ; out of thc dirty pool of politics. TESTINV; HITMAN ENDURANCE.-To gra-, tify scientific observers, Weston, the ! walker, will now try to walk 100 miles in five consecutive days, and to attempt, i during that time, tho feat of walking 112 miles in one day-under the auspices j aud advice of some emiueut New York j surgeons, who propose to investigate his j physical condition, weight, tte, of his | food and other matter for five days pre? ceding, five days subsequent to, and the five days of the raco. We learn from the Western (Missouri) Sentinel that a fatal accident occurred on last Saturday near that place, resulting in the death of two children. A woman named Brown seems to have taken the1 two little victims with her to procure fire-wood, when she carelessly cut a tree on them, killing them both in? stantly. The British Government has pardoned the Fenian O'Donovan Bossn and a few more of his colleagues coufiuod in Eng? lish prisons. Bossa was a sad victim to the cruelty of convict prison discipline, and probably comes out into the world a poor wreck of humanity. Some of his fellow-convicts have either died or gone I mad in prison. Tho young wife of a Mr. Henry Miller, j of Montville, New Jersey, poisoned her i husband, a few days ago, and then com mitted suicide. Tho object was to get rid of the old man and obtain possession of his property; but suspicion huving been directed towards her, she put an i end to herself. A snilor named Joseph Tibbie, who was in a small boat on Lake Huron at the timo of the late earthquake, states that tho waters seemed to boil, that small lumps of mud were thrown into the air, and that thousands of fish came to the surface and jumped about as if beiug pursued. THE BLACK LIST.-The Democratic papers of New York, frr.ua day to day, lill whole columns with a black list of the thieves, murderers, pimps, panderers and loafers generally who have been ap? pointed by Grant A Co., to supervise the Now York election and mnkc it an "honest one." Au Irish police officer West, who was recently found enjoying his pipo over a smoking bowl of whiskey punch, gave os an excuso to his superior officer that ho had been pursued by n ghost, und would have died in a cold perspiration but for the heating influence of the whis? key. A wealthy old miser recently starved hiniHoI? to death at Chicago. Ho had lived for years on rotten fruit, decayed vegetables, putrid meat and stalo bread. His death finally resnltod from strangu? lation and gangrene of tho intestines. A two-year old colored ohild was acci dentally drowned in a cistern, in Phila delphia street, Charleston, on the 4th. How TO MAKI? HOME ATTRA.anvB.-0 Don't bave your stairs without binn isters, st tho risk o? breaking your children's neokp. Don't have wooden ceilings, that reqoiro a cord of lightwood to illuminate the room. Don't have windows without glass, so that whenever it rains yon must shut out tho light of Heaven. Don't have sashes without blinds, so that the Bummer sun will dazzle your eyes, warp your furniture and fado your carpet. Hut order all tho necessary materials for ! finishing your house in comfortable stvlo | from P. P. TOMB, Charleston, S. G., the largest manufacturer of such things in the Southern States. A laughable incident is related in con? nection with tho earthquake. A fat pu? pil In one of tho schools of Beverly, Massachusetts, was in the act of sitting down when the shock of tho earthquake shook tho building, which tho teaoher attributed to the abrupt manner in which the lad took his seat, for which offence ho was required to stand for three-quar? ters of an hour. Tho Titusvillo Courier gives this as a sample of book-keeping nt "Red Hot," in the oil country : "Jim Wilson coua meuced boarding hero tho doy tho big taeo foll. Tom Horner ono week after, Received of Jim Wilson (5) dollars tho doy Jack got drunk. Paid his whole bill tho day Smith's well was torpe doed." Tho new Bavarian revolving cannon are said to bo superior to tho much vaunted mitrailleuses. They can be charged with 360 bullets nt a time, all of ? which can bo fired off in a single minute. Tho German soldiers call these guns "hand organs." A lawyer's office on Pine street, New York, was skillfully robbed of $300,000 worth of United States five-twenty re? gistered bonds contained in a tin box. But ns tho bonds aro registered they will provo worthless to the bold robbers who abstracted them. Tho Berlin correspondent of tho Lou? don Times telegraphs that about twenty French villages had been burned and 150 peasants shot for carrying on illicit war faro against tho Germans. Tho London Telegraph, while admit? ting that Germany has a conqueror's right to demand tho cessation of Alsace and Lorraine, doubts whether by doing so would promoto her own object. RED CLOCD.-This noted Indian has been interviewed. He is very mad with j tho President-General, and accuses him of haviug "a forked tongue," or, iu other words, fibbing.
