[ Concluded.] "Has Gomez come regularly, late ly '(" he disked. Margarat shook her head: "He disappeared tlie day that you started, and 1 have never seen him since,''' Cranbourne looked at his broken arm; "I've seen him/' said he. The next afternoon she went agai.T lo .see her wounded lover, but he bad gone. "racked up bag and baggage just after you left yesterday, and skedad dled this morning," said Mr. Holmes. Margaret's face paled in spite of her, but her clear, sweet voice betrayed no change. "On the stage?" she asked. "Vis!" said Mattic. "Oh! Mar garet, 1 think he's at. awful man; 1 just bale him 1" "Don't, Muttto!" she anstvo?*ed, with a litMeshudder. As she went out a "Greaser" passed the door; she knew him, not very favorably, sis a friend of Gomez. lie looked in her face, and went in an ppposito direction; live minutes after she met hi in again. "If you want to hear about him/' pointing over his shoulder toward Mr. Holmes' house, "go lip to Wain wri ^bt 's to in on ow.'1 Then, as if to avoid questsoning, be took u rapid departure. .Margaret bad a peculiar and invincible dislike toward Mr. Wain Wright, but bis wife was one of those placid, good enough * women who would live peaceably with either a saint or a demon. Margaret would have gone, how ever, almost anywhere to have seen or heard from (Ynnbournc; perhaps a letter was the..', perhaps he was there; what hopes, drca ins and wishes crept through her heart, pen could hardly tell. They breakfasted early, earlier even than uWual,and Margaret sh ?o!? tin- pillows, an.I made her mother's position comfortable with inure than usual care; her mother had looked at lu r o,' late very wistfully,' but she had asked no ipteslions, and Cranbourite's name was hardly mentioned between t hem. "(iood bve, mother (bar," she -aid, kissihg her withered cheeks, and then Ii er lips. ''I'll be back soon. I'm going tip the canyon toward Wuin wrightV' "(iood bye, daughter." It was the mildest of fall weather, warm and pleasant; and Margaret's I step grew lighter and her tall form straightcr as she walked. Hhe had an easy, graceful walk: those who loved her liked lo wut jli her j At Wainwright'.s, notin the house, but near it, she met Gome/.. His ill-favored face lighted at tin sight of his goddess. "Me ask you lo come," he said. "What for," demanded Margaret, with a sinking heart. Then Gomez told her, in broken English eked out with many gestures, that he had shot Crnnhouruc, thai ho had nicht lo kill him, and thai now be was going to follow the stage, and j take a surer aim at his false heart. .She, who had been wronged, should [ be revenged. Margaret's \..y<-1 flashed with their old lire. "If you do," she said, "1 1 will kill you. I could kill you now! How dared you tell the this? I love that man, how dared you touch him ? You !" Gomez drew back a little, looking troubled and doubtful but not angry; the old spell of her magical eyes was upon him, and ho was wholly her slave. If she bad asked him to save the life of this man whom he hated, haled unto death, he would have done it, VProi?iso mo you will let him go in safety," panted sho. lie nodded. "You promise?" "Yes." "Then good-bye." "Adois." And Margaret sped away again toward home. Tlio way up had becu sleep and rocky; she knew of a shorter though nioio dangerous path through the other side of the wild c'inyon. Shu had heard the clock at Wain wright's sinke Ibr half-past seven, as she left, and .-lie was anxious to heat home. "The- brook must be low enough to w:ule through," she thought, "ami it will save time." She felt strangely, and longed to gel. home; she was too healthy to think of dying, but as she hurried along the dangerous path, where a loose rock or a misstep would have been fatal, she could not but think how merciful (??d would be if she could fall, and never open her eyes again. She had reached the brook, taken oil' her shoes ami stockings, and was just ready to wade in, when she heard a rumbling underneath her feet, as if a regiment of cavalry were tramping there. "FartIn[iiak 2 !'' she tho.ight; she had fell ninny of them, and was tibi alarmed; she was, besides, in a da/.ed, wretched condition when scarcely any thing Would have alarmed her. She started into the brook, although she felt theground rocking beneath her feet, ami the great bow biers which 'ay loosely on the sides of the steep hills began to rc'l und jump with a dread fid noise; any one less unhappy would have reali/.cd that she could scarcely have keen in a more danger ous place. ''There!'' she. thought, pausing halfway through the water to look up around her, "it's over. I hope Mrs. .Mill is with poor mother." But it was not over; it was but lk'* breathingsji.il of a couple ol seconds, when the real earthquake commenced. Margaret .stood still, her hare feet slipping on the mossy stones. The strange noises, the great rocks tumb ling about her, the swaying trees, bewildered ami confused her; she realized her danger, but dared u/tther a ivaiico nor retreat; She though; not of heaven at that aw ful moment; neither of the veng eance nor the infinite mercy Of 0">d; the very rcnicmhcrnuce of her sib ami the knowledge thai she must answer for it seemed to have passed from her. "My God, my God." she cried, "have mercy upon hi in .' Father, lit not your mercy fail him." A gr at rock above her head split and fell with a lerribh crash; the earthquake lasted but forty second."?, but. to Margaret it seemed hours; great cracks were opened in the earth; springs bubbled up in the bed of the creek, and tin? water rose rapidly; another great bowlder from the el ill' above her broke and fell; Margaret saw it come with a dazed terror; then ?she knew no more. 'flic water rose in thesloping batiks of the creel; as high as in the depths ' of water, and swept down (be canyon a portect torrent, bearing earth and the bran. In s of tret:.? ami all things before :t: far, far down, below Last Chance digging?, the miners lifed out of the nitiddx Hood, the next morn ing, a poor human hodyi all bruised and broken; Margaret's friends hear.! am! came to look at it; the fair, round ed face was cut ami bruised beyond recognition, but they knew the ring on her linger, the soft hair, the dress, and they said it must be she. If any guessed her secret, none whispered il; if Ivalph ('ran bun rue was remembered, when the dry earth fell above her, none spoke bis name; and up above, the ungels of Goil, seeing (dearer than we, surely must have welcomed her as one worthy of the crown.

The Candidates and the Civil Service. [ I'rdin riarper's Weekly, Aug. 2i>.'| Many .^newspapers have published the passage of Gov'; Hayes's letter thai, trcajs of the reform of the civil service side by side with that of Mr. TiIdea's. It is the best way of show ing the real position (?I' each candi date, (lev. Hayes speaks in the lone of clear perception anil profound con vie'ion, like a man of courage ex pecting quietly to luce the contest which his declaration invokes; Goyi Tilden, in the vague and evasive lone of oho who knows thai the public opinion, which he wishes to propitiate, demands the reform, while the party upon which he must chiefly rely for election despises and flouts it. There is, moreover, an essential and radical difference; Gov. Hayes believes sin cerely anil has long believed in civil service reform. His views are not assumed for the purposes of this can vass. In his inaugural address as governor of Ohio, in duly, lcwO, ( leu. Hayes said, alluding to partisan patronage as the basis of the civil service,?? ''The evils of this system in State a (lairs are perhaps 61 sin*tff moment coin pared with those which prevail under the same system in the transac tion of the business of the national govern men t. But tit no distant day they are likely to become serious even in the administration of State a 11 airs * :;: ":: * A'radical reform in the cml service jjL_tho general government has lioenpjiropnscd :;: * !: The intro duction of this reform will bo attend ed with some di (lieu I ties, lint in re vising Our Slate Constitution, if this object is kept constantly in view, there is little reason to doubt that it can lie 'Success idly aecOnijilished.'' Again, in 1872, in a public speech as a candidate lor Congress, with no more expectation of a nomination for the presidency than the reader of these line.-, (Sen. Hayes, after a vigor ous description of the evils of the pre sent practice, said :? "Th ; system is a bad one. It des troys the independence of the. separ ate departments of the government, and it degrades the civil service. It ought to be abolished * * * We ought to have a re form of the system of appointments to the civil set vice, thorough, radical, and complete." These are the words of a practical and experienced public man, who has sin cere convictions and purposes upon the subject. Gov. Tilden, so far as has ever appeared, has no opinions or convictions upon it whatever' except thtit. public ollicers should not be thieves and knaves. He has grown old in the school of "the spoils." He 'has never, to our knowledge, *uid a word in favor of a reform of the spoils system, or of a non-partisan service, ' which is the substance of reform, and in his ollicinl acts he has couformed j strictly to the practice which it is the object of it thorough reform to de stroy. He would undoubtedly have honest men in office, but that is not a reform of the civil service system. In bis letter of acceptance .Gov. Tilden says that there are two evils in out* civil service : one is the prcval | cut idea that it exists, not for the benefit of the people, but for that of lite piliccdtOidorsj and the other, the or^ani/.ation of the office-h-Vdhig e'ass into a band of political mercenaries. 'I he first step in reform ho states to bo the elevation of the standard of elec tion j and the second a conscientious exercise of the power of removal. After these we may abolish unnecess ary offices, and then proceed to the careful organization of a belter system. But no reform will be complete until the President is disqualified for re election. Gov. Tilden sneers at "self imposed restrictions by candidates or incumbents," meaning the declaration of Gov. Hayes that ho should not be a Candida to for re-election. The diflcr i encc between them upon this point is that G?v. Hayes is honorably engag i cd by his own word not to seek a re duction, thereby disposing of all per sonal motives to thwart reform, while Gov. Tilden is not. He leaves open his chance of a second term, and con sequently all the personal induce ments to perpetuate the present sys tem. Jle merely docs what the great corruptcr of the civil service, Andrew Jackson, did; In each of his first three messages to Congress, Jackson urgently recommended, like Gov Tilden, a constitutional limitation of the presidency to one term. In his fourth message Jackson omitted the recommendation, for he had already been re-elected for a second term, having zealously prostituted the exe cutive patronage to tha' end during all his first term. The two evils which Gov. Tilden mentions as infesting our civil service arc merely symptoms directly due to the prescht purely partisan system of appointments. There can be no re form without correcting this system, and that Gov. Tilden docs not pro pose to do! lie says that the (ir?t step is the elevation of the standard of selection; that is to say, only the honest, and competent must be ap pointed. Is there anybody who says anything else? Does anybody de mand the selection of the dishonest and incompetent ? Every rogue now in office bus been appointed by those who insist, with Gov. Tilden, that only the honest and competent shall be selected. The difficulty is in the very position that Gov. Tilden assumes, namely, the appointment of the incompetent and unfaithful by those who insist, that only the honest ami lit shall be selected. The vital question of reform is not whether, but how, the standard shall be elevated; and upon that p.?int Gov. Ti/den has nothing to say. His second step is faithful exercise of the authority to remove for misconduct. That is, of course, desirable, but-it is something that depends entirely upon the per sonal character of the appointing pMieer, and it is a power which, as Gov. Ti Men's great party loader, Andrew Jacks >n, showed, is liable to the most monstrous abuse. Indeed, it has been proved by experience to be a power too liable to abuse to be tolerated in any system which docs not guard most carefully against its illicit exercise. There are many intelligent and sincere friends of re form who think that the most import ant step of all is the strict regulation oi the arbitrary power which Gov. Tilden would leave untouched, with a prayerful hope that it would be pro I pcrly exercised. i Gov. Tildeu's treatment of this I subject by its evasions and omissions J shows conclusively, to our appreheu I sion, that he is not himself in favor I id a real reform of the system, arid ! that lie is perfectly aware that he would be dropped by his party if ho I declared for it. There is nothing iu I what he says to prevent, in case of his election, as clean a partisan sweep of the offices as lluft which Jackson made and which his party will de mand. All that he says is, in sub stance, that there ought to be good men in the high offices, and that they ought to appoint good men in the lower, and remove bad men. The Democratic clerk of Mr. Morrisou's who named Iiis child for (ho atsassin of Mr. Lincoln, and the Democratic door-keeper of the House, Fit/.bugh, would cordially agree that (iov. Tilden treats the subject ot civil ser vice reform like a statesman of the sound Jacksbnian school; but every man who has seriously studied the subject will see at once that he has dexterously trilled with one of the gravest questions of tho time. And again the sincere words of Gov. Hayes upon tho subject ring out iu manly ami inspiring contrast. Gov. Hayes knows that, among his sup porters there is a powerful and swift ly increasing body that demands re form upon the principles he proclaims. Gov. Tilden knows no such body among his supporters, and he there fore carefully announces no principles whatever, lie knows, as every in telligcnt mau in, the country knows, thai with his partisans "reform of tho civil service" means turning out Re publicans and turning in Dumocrats; and that is the "administrative re form" to which a Tilden admiimtra tion would introduce us. The Battles with the Sioux. The loss of life in the two battles with the Sioux, great as it has been, is not by any means the greatest wo may have to count. The e?ect upon tho Indians themselves is far moro dangerous; not only ojx tho Sioux nation elated with their victories, but on all the tvibes in the vicinity of tho Held of operations. Already we aro told that the Indians at the Bcrthohl agency are becoming restive, Wo have seen the Crows leave General Crook because the fight with their hereditary enemies was not a viotary. When they learn, as they soou will, of the destruction of Custcr, the de feat of Reno and the retreat of Terry and Gibbons to tho Yellowstono,oven they may doubt whether success, may not lie in a war on the pale faces rather than upon their red cnonues. The Crows arc just as savage as tho Sioux; the Mandans and Gros Nen trcs have very bad records, and if they are led to believe that tho power of the white man is on the wane, tho frontier settlements arc likely to suf fer in a degree we can only fanoy now by multiplying by hundreds tho stories of raping, torture and murder which have come to us from time to timo from the sparsely sottled lands of the far West. An alarming point in connection with the recent battles is the reported appearance of several white desperadoes directing tho ab? tacks of the Sioux. Outlaws and i criminals of the worst stamp, which even the border towns, with their large numbers of despcrato charac ters, have been too hot to hold, thoy arc just in the position to do most damage, not merely from their super ior knowledge of the tactics of tho soldiers, but from tho effect their crying down of the strength of tho whites would have on Indians wavor ing between reservation beef and blankets and the prospect of a scalp ing party on a large scale. Tliey can tell the young "bucks" that Rod Cloud and Spotted Tail and the chiefs who have been East and touched tliQ strength of civilization arc liars brib ed with a few presents. It will bo some time before another advance oan be made, but when our troops do movo the conditions of a swooping victory should be assured. Therefore, we say^that merely "enough" troops should not bo tho motto of the future, ? Xcio York Herald.
