To how many thousand homeless, ' shelterless beings in a great city, docs the very name of winter send a sluid- < der over their attenuated frames, and j cause them to think with fear and dread of the sutTeriugs which must be theirs before nature shall dispense ' with its lleccy mantle, and the sun ! cheer them with its generous warmth. ] Day after day do they crouch and shiver in the cold streets, begging for 1 the pittance which is withheld for fear they may be impostors, while the wealthy man, w ho would not hesitate 1 to spend thousands for bis ow n pleasure, goes on his way congratulating himself that he has not been imposed ' upon, while the poor wretch who had hoped to receive a few pennies, draws his rags closer around him. and wonders how many hours will elapse ere * gaunt starvation claims him as his victim. Should that p<x)r beggar, starving for the want of the few crumbs which fall unheeded from the rich man's table, ask himself, and not without ^ reason, whether there is one who watches the sparrow's fall, the godly would turn away with horror at the : sentiment, and refoice again that they ' did not give alms to one who refuses to beliCvc. or question the existence of n Lr i r*rl ( 11 ?*l < | Day after day do wo read, and in a "* moment forget, of some one who was I fashioned in Cod's our likeness lying dead for want. Dead?for want of a crust! Dead in tlie cold night air! Dead?and under the dust. Without ever a word of prayer: In tlie heart of the wealthiest city, In the most Christian land. Without ever a word of pity. Or the touch of a kindly hand. Although onr story necessitates our giving the history of the lives of some of those persons who beg rather tiian . work, believe tliat such cases are the \ exception rather than the rule, and let not the history of the Krochards ! dtter anyone from aeharitabledeed. ' Had the reader hcen in Paris on tliis winter day, and gone to the Church St. Sulpice. lie would have seen the \ poor cripple Pierre gazing around in - ,JTiliWm5-'\Vns"Tuf1ei:Ty~ei)ld. and the 1 snow, which had fallen all night, was 1 still covering the cold earth with its , shroud. Pierre, clothed in rags, limps pain- ' fully along, stopping every now and then to breathe upon 11is purple ling- , ers,or swing hisarmsioiufu.se some warmth in his chilled body. In a strong Contrast to him is the , well-dressed, wellfed Jacques. who meets him wit11 ;i look of scqrn. , "Have the women not come yet?" asked Jacpies, in the tone of a man speaking to his inferior. "No. not yet: mother and Mademoiselle Louise are busy elsewhere, no doubt ," replied Pierre, while he gazed ' on his comfortably clad brother, and ! wondered whvthev. sons of one hither should 1m.' In such dilTcri-iit circiun- , stances. "They ought to he here." said .lac- ( qucs, the handsome, impatiently. . "The services will soon he over, and ' tliev will miss t he charitable idiots." "They will he here in pood time," said the cripple, as if to excuse their . absence. "ton need not worrj tibout , t hem." "it will he none too soon if they come now," was the angry exclamation, as the loving son went to seek ' some shelter from the storm, where he could wait until the coining of his ~ mother, from whom he expected to * get money enough to pay for his night's carousal at t lie nearest cabaret. I'ierre moved away. a> though ex- ' peeling a blow (which was not uneoin- l. mon) front his brother, lie seemed to be trying to make up his mind to say ' something to his brother, and judging from the length of time it took him, lie did not expect a favorable answer to his prayer. At last he went toward Jacques,and i in a slow, hesitat ing way, said: < "Jacques, 1 have got a favor to ask t of you. "If it is money, 1 haven't got any." t answered the elder brother, moving away. t "No no. ' answered I'ierre quickly: 1 "it is not money hut. look here, Jac- > ques, when you are angn with me. 1 curse me, heat me. if you want to. hut l do not call me cripple not not w hen Louise is present \ "Jacques looked at his brother, as if i doubt ing whether he had In aid aright. | and then, as he saw the supplicating \ look on the deformed hoy's face, he 1 broke out into a coarse laugh. a "Indeed!" he sneered. "We must speak to monsieur respectfully: take l OlT VOtir ha!>? I simiuK.. VVI..- .... l will dress you up in silk and velvet, t Vou would like In wear gloves and eany a sword, 1 suppose." The pie,tlire which lbs coarse taunts h had called up was soeoinieal to his f< mind t hat lie was obliged to stopspeak- u ing and indulge in another hearty I laugh. ii An expression of pain passed over Pierre's face. He had hoped that his I brother would grant this simple favor, n and his sneering words cut the poor h fellow to t he heart. ja ' Jacques!" he said, in a tone of sad- si ness and reproach. a; "So it. hurts your feelings to he call- e? ed cripple, does it ?" eoiit inued Jacques ina voice that hurt his brother more w than his blows would. "Well, look at w yourself what you are?" ai "1 am a poor, deformed cripple," an- ol swercd Pierre, as lie brushed awa\ the sji rising tear. "And to whom do i owe! it? Who. when 1 was Imt tin infant, ?.' beat me, and tiroke and twisted my ti limbs because 1 refused to steal a coat a> * .1 ? ' ' ? . " for him?' "YouHe! it was&fclouk." intorHilit2d Jacques, fiercely. "Thut is always your way," coritlttnod I he cripple, "to make some one ids*- steal for you. That was what forced poor Marianne ? " "Marianne!" exclaimed Jacques, as he raised Ills hand to strike the one who thus brought up the past. "Don't you dare to mention that ungrateful fool's name to me again. She \v:is a heart less jade, who would rat her go to prison than giv<> me her money," and Jacques lurnc<KDvav with an expression of disgust at lh<> idea of such iugrat it ude. "She saved you from a punishment," said Pierre, who was ever ready to plead for the cauaeofthe unfortunate. "That is enough!" cried the ruftlan, stamping his foot angrily. "1 don't want io hear anything more aliout her. I have found another, who is better looking and more useful. As for you, as you don't want to l>e called cripple any more " And .lacques hesitated a moment, as if lie were searching his brain for some name, while Pierre, thinking that his brother had relented, and was about to answer his prayer, exclaimed anxiously: "Well?" "I'll reehristian you Cupid." Again a look of intense pain passed over Pierre's face, jus his brother's laugh rang out loud and shrill. "ho as you like," he said, wearily, as if resigning himself to uU the insults bis brother might s-'c lit to heap upon him. "Now I come to think of it," said Jacques, contemptuously, "it is only when Louise about that you object to he culled cripple: perhaps " and as lie was no longer aule to control himself, he burst out into bis fiendish laughter igain, at some thought which had entered his wicked brain. Then, chuckling to himself, lie said, shaking Jiis head in a mocking way: "All, that would he too good." "What do you mean?" asked Pierre, not understanding his brotlicr's mirth. "You are not so stupid after all," laughed Jacques. "She is blind, and lot sn't know the difference between a handsome man like me and a miserable abort ion like you." and again his mirth resulted in laughter, while lie exclaimed: "You're in love?in love v\ it h a blind girl." "I?" said Pierre, in surprise, as if hardly understanding what his brother had said, and at tin* same time looking down upon liis misshapen form. "1? In love?" "Why then, are you ashamed of l>cing called cripple before tier? Afraid she'll lind out your beautiful shape, eli?" "Yes, yes, it is so." said the j>oor l?ov, as if the words came from him involuntarily. "I want to think there is one in the world who does not regard me wit li disgust. 1 f she t bought 1 was like others.she might have some feeling ol friendship for me. Put in love in love with her, who is beautiful enough to he an angel?" And there was upon Pierre's face, as he spoke of the blind girl, a light which is rarely seen, and then only w hen it is lit by ;i soul pure and noble. Jacques looked upon his brother in surprise, lie sjiw in that uale face >onicthing Unit In* had neversecn before, and could hardly repress his astonishment . "Mow the devil did you find that till nit? 1 don't know or carc anything it?out her goodness," he said, after a ihort pause. "liosh for all that -ami is to her beauty, 1 know that her eyes ire more use to her now than if she sould see with t hem." "Yes yes. she is blind." said Pierre ;adlv, "hut her face is so sweet that it would move a stone to pity, and her Hl? r uVt y Yfih'f'11 "aimosl*fear"that she an see me." "There there." said Jacques, who tad not heard the latter part of the tcnlcuue, hut who had started toward iomc drinking saloon where ho would ind more congenial companions, "stop rour muttering and come along w it h ne. I want you. Cupid; come!" For once Pierre determined to resist lis brotIter's tyranny. "1 w ill not go." lie said, in a voice lie vainly endeavored to make sound lirm. i-lii!" cried Jacques, in amazement. "What's this? rebellion, eh! now do as 1 order you.or look out for a lieatiiig," ind the brute in human shape went ( ward the cripple with hand uplifted o st i ike. Just at that moment the sad, sweet mice ot a young girl was heard not far >tT,and Pierre started with delight: lie ceognized the tones of that, to him, mgei song, and his purpose was changed immediately. Like ;i voice from heaven did the lOles. welling over with despair,speak :o the deformed tad. tilling his lieart .V ii h peace and love. Jacques," he said softly, "you are >lder tli.in 1, you're straight and urong.and I must submit to you: tint ,vhen 1 see the use you make of your a length. 1 am satistied with my ugly ihape and miserable weakness.'' \nd as he tinished speaking, lie :urned in the direct ion from which the ,uund proceeded, and stood in anxious wpectaney. await ing the approach of lie blind girl, who had so entirely . hanged i he course of his life. CIIAl'TKU XIV. T1IK 1'OWKIt OK I.A W. The minister of police was so aslonshed by the sudden act ion on the part )f his nephew. that lie was for a few nometits unable to speak. Hi-, anger struggled for the mastery A it h his surprise, and as He Vaudrey .aw the deep red tlush mantling his incle s face, he well knew w hat porended. lie held the leaf upon which ,vas written the secret of the countess lit how long he might be permitted o retain it was st ill an open quest ion. he Vaudrey knew that the count \?in 1< I not Inmlt i.? t/-> .. .n ,.V ???

With a low low to the now horoutfhly an^ry count, t lie chevalier eft the room, and proceeded directly o t he apart ments of the countess. Meeting a servant as he went hroUtfh the lofty halls, lie directed iiin to wait on t he < 'oiint de LiniereS; ?r 1 >e Vaudrey had serious fears that, pou one of his uncle's temperament, ho passion which had control of him liuht prove fatal. Ilis first movement, as he entered lie antcchumlicr of his aunt's apartlent s. was to eoimniL t he paper lie ad torn from the I took to tlie ilames: lid nol until he had seen the last itoldei ine vest ice of it reduced to siics, did he seek the presence of the Illlltt'SS. he Vaudrey treated the interview ith I lie cou111 in Ids conversation itli the countess, as not hi n^ serious; id assured her, without rel.il intf any ' t lie part ieuiars t hat her secret was lie. indeed, so moved was the countess y the chevalier's argument in favor of ictfirl whom he loved, that, terrible > she helicvcd would he the eonl. A IjMii <WUft.HI,->'1 " sequences If her secret was made known to hef husband, she hardly thought of What she had said, and consequently lielieved that the count,s order for his nephew to return to him after escortIng his aunt to her apartments, referred only to the question of the marriage which the king desired. It was an exceedingly simple task for the chevalier now to induce the Countess do Liniores to call upon the young girl lie loved, and after giving her Henriette's address, and receiving her assurance that she would visit the young girl on her return from church, the chevalier took his departure, leaving the countess to wander tsiek in tiie dark and terrible mazes of the past, while he should seek Henrietta's society, and lie happy as lie basked ill the sunlight of the loved one's smiles. The servant wliom l)e Yaudrcy had sent to the assistance of the count, found that gentleman In the greatest state of excitement, consequent upon the behavior of his nephew. "Send the chief clerk to mo," said Ik; Linlercs to the servant. When the clerk entered, lie found l.i.. ..Ut../ I in-, viiiui 111 a more quiet rrame of mind; but from bis manner of speaking, the elerk knew that his superior was in no enviable mood. "You will find out immediately where the Chevalier l>e Vaudrey has concealed the girl whom he carried from the garden of Hcl-Air!" The clerk's movements were just as mechanical and automaton-like as ever, and lie would have preserved the same machine-like movements had he found the minister of Police dead in his chair, instead of simply in a rage. In a few moments the clerk returned. "The young woman is residing in the Faubourg St. llonore," lie said, stitlly, "hut there is reason to believe that the chevalier does not contribute to her support." "Have a guard ready to accompany me. I, myself, will arrest this girl." Not a look of surprise on the subordinate's face. He evinced no surprise. if he felt any. but left the room toexcute t he count's demands. "1 will see if this insane idea cannot he driven out of the hoy's head." said Dc Linieres, talking half to himself. "The girl must lie taken to La Salpet riero, and the chevalier may cool his ardor in the Hastile until he can look at the matter in a sensible light." Thus did the worthy minister of police imagine that he could separate two loving hearts, and cause one to he false to the other. His own marriage had lieon one of blind oliediencc to his parents, and with a heart that heat only in tinhope of royal favor, he could not understand tiie fidelity of boin love. To l?e continued. LOOK OUT FOR METORS. Astronomer* Kxpect tlie l.eonid* About November ttt-ltl. People who took so much interest in the expected big shower of meteors three years ago which failed to materialize, may get ready for something to happen the latter part of next week when astronc .ors all over the country will be on the lookout again for these celestial visitors which have so far failed to put in their appearance. The possibility exists that they may still put in an appearance in considerable numbers, but if there should lie :v uri'iit. riiu.iluu tJ.ie u..a? o. jority of astronomers would be as much surprised as they wen* by the total failure of the expected shower in lS'.m. At the same time noltody whose business it is to watch celestial phenomena will dare to neglect the vigil next week beeausc of the bare possibility th.it the meteors may come after all. It' they do. there will be a great scramble to revise the calculations by which the failures of lS'.w, two and l'.KH have been explained. The lielicf now is that Jupiter and Saturn drew the main swarm of thu meteors aside from their previous path some time lietween the last showers in istii; and 1807 and the end of the nineteen century, Hut there may possibly be another swarm traveling hi a parallel path, which will meet the earth this year. <)ne unforfunate circumstance is that the full moon will be shilling! at the time when meteors are due, it they come at all. This would make the faint ones invisible. < >n the other hand, many of the November meteors are large and bright, and these would not be much observed by the moonlight. The time to be on the watch for them is after midnight on Thursday, Friday and Saturday next week. The direction to look is toward the northeast, the apparent center from which the meteors radiate when they appear in number, being the sickleshaped figure marked out by principal! stars in the constellation Lion. lltiii. Hale IoIiiinoii Killed. lion. Hale Johnson, a Prohibition leader of national prominence, and a vice presidential candidate on the prohibition ticket in IHutl, was shot and killed by Harry Harris, Tuesday afternoon, at Honota, a village in Jasper county, ill.

A special dispatch from Kasley to The State says Robert Connor, the nenro who has been employed by Mr. S. N. Wyatt as hostler, met death in rather a peculiar manner. While coininn from Central and attemptinn to cross Kinhteen Mile creek he encountered quicksand. One of his horses succeeded in hrcakinn loose from the vehicle and makinn his escape, hut the other one was drowned, it see ins J that Robert was not drowned, but died while strunnlinn to rescue the dead animal, for when found he was in water alxivc his waist holdinn to the dead animal, it is thounht that lie froze to death as the ninht was 1 very cold. ' I , I I 1 I DEATH OF A FOOL. A VilrMliui Whether It should He Mourned or Applauded. The Washington Post says It is a f|UestSon for serious consideration whether the death of a fool should be mourned or applauded by enlightened soeiety. At Cold Springs Harbor, N. Y., the other night a young fellow named Volkman volunteered to let a patent medicine fakir shoot an apple olT his head, a la William Tell, and v?cii? nuuuy Kineu ?iL me uuru nre. A troupe of wandering vagabonds was visiting Cold Springs Harbor exploiting Llie sale of some cure-all prophylactic, and one of the features was the apple shooting act. The marksman always called for volunteers, none of his gang having the slightest anxiety to assume the part, and the night of the 2r?th instant young Volkman responded. lie was a barber, eighteen years of age, and the support of a small but needy family, but 1 lis profession had familiarized him with deadly weapons, and lie cheerfully assumed the role of "Jimmy." As we have already said, lie was killed at the third (ire,and now the question arises: Shall we rejoice or weep over the consummation? of course, unthinking humanitarians will weep, and there is much to warrant them in weeping. On the surface, a bright young life has been snuffed out. He was only eighteen, lie was a barber. An aged grandmother and other relatives were interested in his advancement, and fond parents lived In Germany. There was no telling what he might or might not achieve. The future was all liefore him, and yet lie was sacrificed to a mountebank's vanity and the vicious appetite of a credulous and gaping crowd. That is one aspect of the incident, but there is another. We must consider tlie possibilities of a youth capable of such mad folly as voting Volkman gave way to. It is proper to inquire whether he could ever have become a good and useful citizen. The most dangerous member of society is a fool. Nobody but a fool would have put an apple on his head and stood there for a common fakir to shoot it off. Volkman may have been possessed of all the public and domestic virtues. He may have been an excellent barber, with every prospect of rising in his profession. No doubt he enjoyed the confidence and good will of the most respectable citizens of Cold Springs Harbor, but w;is it safe?for lie might have marrie 1 and multiplied? to perpetuate him? A man capable of doing as lie did must be regarded as :l mi>naiv Careless of his own life, why might he not have become careless of the lives of others? It is not as if he were a bricklayer or a tailor. Persons engaged in those occupations may build a smoky chimney or a pair of trousers that bag at the knee, hut a fool h;."ber may shave of a mole or cut a throat. It is an open question: Shall the fool he killed, or shall he l>e permitted to increase and multiply? Columbia's Steamboat I.inc. The Columbia State says since the organization of the new Columbia and (ieorgetown Steamboat company the directors and ntlicers of the company have not lieeu idl<? though the public oas iicarn very little of what lias been gohig on toward bringing about the desired opening of river navigation. As a matter of fact the lirst installment of the stock has already been called in. and the president of the company, Col. John C. Haskell, has been at the North for some days getting the proper bids for the furnishing of the boats with which the line will he established. As soon as lie returns witli these figures the order h>r the boats will lie placed and will provide for prompt delivery. The company proposes to purchase only lirsLelass boats. < hie of the directors Thursday said that the lioard hoped to open the line by the tirst of January. but it would certainly l>e in operation by tin' lirst day of February. It is very likely that the opening of the river lioat line will he made the occasion for quite a popular celebration anil jolli beat ion.and the tirst trip down the river will probably lie made by quite a party of the live business men who have endeavored to reduce Columbia's freight rates and make Columbia what she should be the wholesale centre of this part of the count ry.

Mr. Will McCurlev came to Klko and to the residence of Mr. W. M.

There was a large woun 1, evidently made by a gunshot, that penetrated the base of the brain and must have caused almost instant death. There were small shot wounds on the neck, face and Ixxly. George MeCurley stated that his brothers, lien and Arthur, had killer: Kline, hut neither he nor Will could give any cause for the deed. After the killing lien and Arthur MeCurley went to Hlaekvillc, telegraphed to the sheriff at Harnwoh what they had done, and that they were ready to surrender. Then they went home and went to lied. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict that according to the best of their knowledge and lieliet' the dead man came to his death by gunshot wounds indicted at the hands of Hen and Arthur MeCurley. It is rumored that Kline had grossly insulted a young sister of the MoCurleys, which is said to he t he cause of the tragedy. Mr. Kline was about thirty years old, intelligent, pleasant in appearance, and had made a very good impression on many of our citizens. lie was a native ot Kentucky and drove from there in a wagon to tiiis place last summer, arriving just three months ago. He was in the memorial picture business, and lias a brother at Quitman, ha. The MeCurleys went to Ikirnwell Tuesday afternoon and gave themselves up to the sherilf. A Woman Kcpenfer.
