Some Of them ..od again very quickly, Hit on refused to be comforted. The iow of Jeff Alrlie proved more con AQt than some of her friends. She ..ved near the village of Marlon, iu union Parish, with an old aunt of her husband. The Alrlie? were Geor ilaas, but Dorkls belonged to the soil, ?scendlng from an old French Creole family. Jeff fell In battle a year and a half before the surrender?a friend saw him go down?and Dorkls retired from the world, refusing to be comforted. She had loved her husband passionate ly, and gave herself up to hor grief vlth all the abandon of tho Southern -unperament. The markets woro all closed; but ae managed to buy enough black owns, by paying a fabulous price for om, to keep herself in mourning til after tho surrender when cloth <ame moro plentiful than money, had been something of a coquette re her marriage; but her bus 's death seemed to put an end to 'great in all men. But in the beforo tho surrender, Justin >noy camo up from New Orleans, -o had been one of her lovers, but ?Jeff's most devoted friend in those ?less, untroubled days of her young jlhood. It had been a fair race for favor between them, and when won his friend remained still oyai to him. True, Justin wont away .0 tho city and would not bo present at tho wedding ; but ho sent Dork is a ruby bracolet, and Jeff a letter of con gratulation ; and in return, received tho heartiest invitations from them to Eay thom a visit when he could. IIo ad never availed himsolf of that in vitation, and tho silonce of years fell between thom. Dorkls was glad with melancholy gladness to seo his face again. Sho bad forgotten that ho. ever loved her. 'd -""?od him itM Joff's friend. forgotten bis love, und o when she appeared idow'8 weeds, bor eyes ( tears. Sho had nover lore tender, moro bewitching than at that moment. Ho ,v> p tier hand and stammered such rorus of consolation as occurred to dm. He had been deeply and sincere ly shocked to bear of his friend's death 10 it was with no pretense of sympathy that ho listened when she conlided all the harrowing details of hor grief to him. Ho pitied her tenderly, most un selfishly. Sho was not the sort of a woman to boar her trials heroically and alono ; she noeded some one stronger than herself to lean on. In her joyous girlhood tho weaknesses of her nature had not shown forth as the/ did when put to tho tost by the loss of her beloved ; but they seemed adorablo weaknesses to Justin. Ho foil more and more keeply in lovo with her. but for a long time ho would not acknowl edge even to himself that her freedom gave him any hope. Loyalty to his friend held all such thoughts in sub jection wbilo bo listened pationtly to hor extolling of Jetf's virtues. Every day she had something new to tell him of her hero's perfections, and what a loss the army had suffered in his death ; in fact, tho whole Confedeiacy mjist bavo felt it. Ho sometimes secretly wondered if sho really belioved all that sho said?If lovo so blinded her ; and felt sharp pangs of ouvy?yes. envy of one who had fought and died bravely on tho battletiold, If bo was not the great hero this one woman asserted ho was. At such times he felt bitter self-con tempt, and longed to go away from her; but lovo robbed him of the will to do so. Once he did hint that he thought it would be best for him to re turn to Now Orleans; but she impul sively said : '?Oh, I am sorry. Don't go just yet." His heart beat high, his face flush ed. " Do you wish mo to stay, Dorkis?" "Yes, I do; but don't let my selfish wishes interforo with your plans." " I have no fixed plans; but if I had'? " You were Jeff's best friend. To talk with you about him seems to bring me closer to him." He bit his lip and stared silently at the ground. Why could sho not soo her cruelty, ho wondered bitterly. It was just like a woman to bo so absorbed in her own footings that sho could not comprehend others might be suffering too. Tho idea that ho still loved her cer tainly did not enter Dorkls Air He's head at that time. Sho wont on torturing him with her confidences and her plaints, and be continued to sympathize and to fight with himself. It was Miss Samantha Airlie, Jetf's jaunt, who penetrated his secret. Sho ?ras an old maid with the bard features And tho shrewdness of her Scotch Ancestors; but a warm, kind heurt beat in her withered breast, and she pitied Dollanoy. Sho thought on the situation a good deal over her knit ting, and ono day sho took her crutch ?for ago and rheumatism bad made her a cripple?and walked down to tho gate to meet Dellanoy, when ho rodo out from the village "Is Dorkls at home, Miss Saman tha?" he inquired, as a small black groom lod his horse away. " Yes, sho is at home ; but I want to say a few words to you, Justin, before you seo her." "Certainly;" nnd then his dark, thin face flushed, and ho raised his hat, tuuiling and bowing to Dorkls, who leaned from an upper window of the lionso, her hair fading in loose curls about her face, the winter sunshine . lighting it to a mass of burnished gold. A white morino sncquo had re placed tho sombre fcown sho always woro, and it gave the delicacy of her beauty a certain childlike freshness onchanting to tho eyes of her lover. Miss Samantha followed bis kindling, eager gaze, and her own eyes lighted with a kindly glow. "Sho looks happier to-day than sho his /or nearly two yonrs. You are still in lovo with Dorkls V ' " Yoh. I am," he said, with a High. '? I wish you'd marry hor, Justin." Ho wheeled quickly and stared half am a/.od at her. ?? Yes. I mean it," she said In reply to that look. " You lovod hor, I think, beforo .left" over did." "IVe lovod hor all her life," he ex a claimed, huskily. "Then do vour bost now to win her. She U a dollcato creature, body and poiiI, and was nover created to load a '^ioUtary lifo.

True I havo invosted in a good deal o! cotton, but it may be a poor speculation. You don't love Dork is for her money, and you can shield nor from poverty ab well as loneliness." ? " Miss Summit ha, you are an angel," cried Dellaney. and seized and kfosed her withered bund. She smiled. " I ean trust nor with you, Justin ; and 'I'll do all t -an to help on your j suit. I loved .ion* as I would have loved a sou; but I cannot be selli-.li onougb to want Dorkis to remain a widow for his sake. She may not love you as she loved him, but she'll always bo tender and sweet and faithful. She has grown morbid in her grief, and we must try to draw her moro into tho world." I Dellaney was intoxicated with the sudden hope inspired within him. To havo Miss Sumantha's sanotlon meant everything. If she did not deem it disloyal to Jeff's memory for him to marry Dorkls, why should ho any longer hesitate V Unconscious of the plans for her, Dorkis came down to greet Dellaney, innocently pleased to see Aim. She I had donned tho plain black gown j again ; but her lover held that charm* I log window picture in his memory. He was careful not to throw off the guise of friendship too quickly ', but as often as he could he lea her thoughts and conversation away from Jeff. He bad never been a fluent talker; but he found so many subjects to discourse on : that ho puzzled uud umazed Dorkis. Sometimes after one of bis calls she realized that Joff's name had not boon mentioned between them, and ro I proached hersolf for it. But that was only tho beginning of still greater changes. Boforo sho know it sho was j drawn back somewhat into tho sociai ; life of Marion. Tho barriors were brokon down, j Sho could no longer seclude herself j like u nun, nor refuse to seo that j beauty and joy were still in tho world, though sho had been so long a stranger I to them. Sho rebelled against tho I possibility of being consoled, and in I vitod every sad and morbid thought I that sho could to boar her company; I but they refused to como as readily as 1 they once had, put to flight by the < quickeuing of healthier claims within her. She felt that Miss Sumanthu and Dellaney were leagued ugaiust her in common purpose to mako her forget Jeff, and grew secretly resent l ful. But she could not east off tho in licence drawn closer and closer around her. Miss Samanthti talked a great deal about Dellaney and bis noble qualities. He was tender and faith fid, too faithful for his own good; for if ho loved a woman he would romain truo to her through time and change and separation, whether sho returned his lovo or not. Dorkis folt her face grow hot with color. " Has ho made you the confidant of his love affair, Aunt Sumunthu?" " 1 havo known his heart for years," said Miss Sumanthu, with a sigh. " You cannot mean"? "Yes, Dorkis, lie loves you." "Then 1?he has aetcd like a eowurd to pretend to ho such u good friend to me, to?to JetT. Does ho think that I could be faithless enough to-oh, Aunt Sumunthu, why don't you send him away ? It is wieked. I am Jolt's wife !" sho cried, bursting into tears of grief and anger. " Jeff has gone whore there is neith er marriage nor giving in marriage, my poor Dorkis," said Miss Samantha, wiping her own eyes. " You are too young to go mourning all tho days of your life, and too gontlo and delicate to be left alone." Dorkis sat rigidly upright, staring at i her. " Do you want mo to marry again V" ; she demanded, in a low tone. " Yes ; I do." " Then you uro a wieked old woman, und I despise you." The result of this conversation was that for a week Dorkis remained in hor room, and rofused to see hor aunt or Dellaney, though hor heart relented, and her tender conscience .smote her for her waywardness. From behind tho jealousies of hor window sho would watch her lover ride dejectedly away, and sometimes tho sense of hor power fluttered her, and sometimes sympathy for him moved her to tears. Tho week of self-imposed isolation wearied her so of her own thoughts that she made peaeo with Miss Saman tha, and received Dellaney into her favor. She had lost instead of gaiued by it, and to herself acknowledged a sense of defeat. If sho had not sought tho reconciliation?but tho very just ] ness of that act seemed to wcakon her. Sho had grown really to depend a good ! deal on DoHauey's companionship, and found herself roluctunt to give it up. He did not press his suit with rashness, but with tho patient steadiness of a man determined to win. Neither her capricos nor her fits of coldness could drive him away. Winter advanced into spring, and spring into early summer. The wur was over, and peoplo wore trying to take up their former occupations ; but it would bo a long time before tho troubled currents of life would settle I into peace again. One of Dorkis' friends, a young widow, married, und Dellaney sought to advance his own cuuso by it. Dorkis listened to his arguments until thoy ended in a declaration of his lovo for her, then sho refused to listen any longer. " But you will not send me away en tirely," ho pleaded. " Think how long, now faithfully I havo loved you, what it is to me to see you to olten. Dorkis, Dorkis, bo not so cruel to mo.'' But 1 cannot lovo you, Justin. Would it not be wiser to leave mo V" " No, no, let me try to make you love me?just let me try ; if I fall, thoblutno bo all on my own head." " You will think hardly of mo." "No, 1 swear I will not." Bis wooing moved hor to pity, but not to lovo. Still she felt hersolf borne onward by it, and by Miss Samanthu's approval to the verge of promising to marry him. When sho reached that point, ho folt certain that he had won her. When she urged him to go away for a weok, while sho considered tho matter, ho readily consented. " When you return, f shall bo ready to say yes or no," she said, trembling, growing white and red by turns. " It will, it must bo yes," ho criod. She turned silently away. It was tho morning Of the seventh day. Delluney had spent the week down on tho Ouaehita river pretending to hunt and fish, but, in reality, giving himself up to a thousand delightful dreams ! Ho planned a dozen ways of spending tho honeymoon when ho and Dorkis were married. They would travel a year ; they would go to somo quiet resort, or they would spend tho timo in New Orleans?there wero so inuny ways In which they could dis pose of the timo and bo happy. Then they would sottlo down and let tho years glide unnoted over them. Ho gave his fancy full rein, for the certainty of winning her never left him. Fate lind denied him a long timo only to hold this brimming cup to his thirsting lips ut last. The days seomod long, and yot they passed swiftly, and tho last morning found him on tho Ouaehita steamer, travelling up to Albemarlo Banding, whore ho would take the mail coach for Marion. Ho would reueh t!io village by noon, and then ho would ride out to seo Dorkis. H > walked tho dock, humming old love songs, or hung over tho railing, guzing dreamily at tho high banks whore long gray moss j swayed from ovory troo nnd shrub, j looking in tho distanco like a fino-spun g veil spread over tho gay green foliage, i Bat ho was not conscious of looking ut ? the sconerv. Hie thoughts wore paint-1 In? far different pictures on his mind from thoso actually boforo his oyos. | At tho Landing, ho hurriod ?Vorn tho steamor over to tho mail coach : but tho driver uoemed in no hasto to bo off. J What aro you waiting for V'\ Doll aoey domundod, ?nptttfootly. \ "To see If there is anybody on the j ferryboat who wants to go up into the, country. I alway wait until the Ian minute I have to spare," said the man, und he spat leisurely out into the dusty i road. Deilaney looked down the long, -I'M' | lug hillside to the ferry. The grout flat burge was slowly crossing the river, loaded with white-covered Immigrant wagons, with a group of men, womeu and children huddled together in the prow. " Pshaw ! those people have their own conveyances." he said. Aro you in a hurry, sir ?" " I am." "Thou I'll advise you to walk on, and I'll overtake you, said the drlvor, coolly. Dellanoy flashed a haughty glance at him; but he merely drew his whip across his boot leg and turned to speuK to the restive horses. Angry impatl enco had seized Deilaney. lie walked restlessly up and down the street, and Anally entered the postoQico to get a newspaper. As ho came out, the immigrant wagons were coming slow ly up the hill. A solitary foot passen ger walked ahead of them, a tall, rather thint haggard-looking man, in a faded gray uniform and with a stout walking stick to help along his halting steps. Some poor soldier making his way home, or else seeking a new one, thought Deilaney, and felt ashamed that he bad grudged the few minutes of waiting. But as the man came nearer, Mb face changed, grow rigid aud ghastly palo. " What's this ! Alrllo, you alive ?" ho cried, and reeled foward, clutching tho soldior by tho arm, as though to make sure of hia material substance. The stranger's thin face lightod up wonderfully. "Why. Justin, dear old fellow, what good luck to moot you bore." The Immigrants starod curiously at them as they paosud by, and tho coach driver whistled softly while bo waited. The broad, dusty street seemed to riso and fall before Dollanoy's dizzy eyes; ho shuddered in tho hot sunshine. "You don't tako mo for a ghost, do you ?" said Airlio, laughing, and noting his friend's strango manner. " It is a shock to meet you?this way after?mourning?you as dead for two years," said Dellanoy, huskily. " I was desperately wounded." "Whero havo you been all this time*?" and he could not make his voice other than harsh and tremulous. " I was picked up and sent oil with othors to a Northern prison," Airlio re plied, attributing his friend's strange coldnoss to tho surprise of meeting I him. " After tho surrender I started , South again, foil sick, and nearly gave I up in despair: but I knew one dear ? heart was (rriovlng for mo; and as I soon as I could travel I sot out again, l working and tramping my way. Thank I heavon, I'm nearly home at last!" Deilaney smiled in a faint, ghostly way. " You havo shown pluck ; you?you ; deserve?all that awaits you. Come, I wo must tako tho coacii. The man is I beckoning to us." "Are you going up in It too?" ex ? claimed Airlio, in pleased surprise ; . " that is better than I oxpected. Tell I mo, havo you seen Dorkis lately ?" in a low tone, full <of eugerness and suspense. " Yes, a week ago I saw her; she looks well, and "? " My poor girl, my dear girl !" mut tered the soldier. ! Oh, that ride ! Carrying one man I nearer and nearer bis huppinoss, and ! tho other further and further away : from his. They sat sido by side, thoy i talked. Airlio with tho volubility of ? ono long shut off from friendly com i nuuionship ; Dellanoy in monosyllables. I Ho sank into strango reveries, while I bis friend leaned from tho coach with I exclamations of boyish pleasure at j every familiar landmark. Ho was too absorbed, too delighted, to fully rea lizo that Deilaney had not mot him I with the gladness of a friend, to notice tho drawn look of his face, the wild, hard stare of bis oyes. Ho gave an ac count of bis prison life, of his home* : sickness, of his desperate attempts to got back, running on in a constant stream of excited, joyous stories ; for , oven the sad one seemed to catch tho I light and life of present feelings., Dollaney listened with eyes cast 1 down, gnawing tho tips of his finger nails, or clenching his hands. Airlio tortured him with question ubout old friends, abovo all, about Dorkis and : Miss Sam ant hu. J " Jovo ! what a surpriso it will be to ; them; but I bopo I shul! not scaro j them as I did you, my dear follow," { laughing, and slapping Iiis friend on j tho knee. Dollaney shuddered, and drew him self further away into tho corner. I " Perhaps they will be better pre i pared to seo you."' bo Baid. "I know they will be ready to wol I como me," said Airlie, with maddening , confidence. Ho did not purpose to go to the ; villuge, but to leave tho coach and take ! a short cut through a plantation read I a mile from Marion. He had travors i ed it often in the old days before the ! war and Its cruel privations and ex tieriencea had aged him beyond, far loyond his years. But the fire and the ] strength of his youth seemed to thrill him again, kindling his eyes, flushing his face until its haggard lines were ? all smoothed out under the magical in fluence. Ho leaped from tho coach when it was drawn up at the place he designat ed to tho driver, aud turned to wave his friend a final yood-bye; but Dei laney followed him. " 1 will see you across tho fields," ho said, briefly. In the garish light of tho moon be looked so shrunken and old that oven Airlio noticed his chang ed appearance. " You havo been through bard ex periences, too," lie said in a sympa thetic, affectionate tone. " We've none of us escaped tho strife." Deilaney wet his bis dry lips with the tip of his tongue. I havo had every hope in life crush ed out." " Is that so? I am awfully sorry." " It is of no consequence now." "I havo boen so absorbed in myself that I have not had a thought for any thing olso this morning," said Airlie, apologetically. " And perfectly oxcusablo, consider ing the circumstances." After that they walked on in silence through tho belt of woods and across the sedge-grown fields. Airlie took the lead, his stops unconsciously quick ening as ho noared home. Deilaney followed him, stumbling like a man grop ing in darkness. Several times his glauco neasured the tall figure ahead of him, and his band sought his pocket; but it dropped nervelessly down again. They had one marsh to cross, a place where sweet gum and COttOnwood trees grew thickly together and rank grasses mingled with tall weeds, A low bridge spanned tho marsh and on either side of it were stagnant pools of water covered with green slime. It was dark and rather COol under the trees, but a foul smell I'OaO from vegetation rotting in the witter. TllO tWO friends were midway the bridge, When Djllunoy abruptly said : ?? stop here, Airlie." It was more a command than u re quest, and the soldior wheeled impa tiently to find himself covered with u pistol. For a moment ho ttarcd in amazement. Had his frloud gone mud ? " Whut does this mean, .Justin ?" lie asked, calmly. "That J intend to kill you, Jeff Airlie- kill you." " Why ?" said Airlie, &tiil composed and fearless. " Because you've no right to come between me and happiness any longer," the other 'man burst out. The ques tion had loosuned Ilia toiign .'. Hapidly, passionatoly, he poured out xvM atory of his soeond wooing. li?)> spaiv> detail of it /vom the time jW had u?^. mot Dorkis in hor widow's garb up to that morning when, exultant and ????:*Min of success, he had stepped from the .-t-nmor to be met by Airlle. " t 'an you wonder that I long to take your lifo,*' he Cried, panting, torn by a tempest of rugo ml bate. "The first timo you Camo between us, won her from nie, I freely forgavo you for it : I loved you as well as tho womuu, und gave her up without a bitter thought against you ; but now, now to have tho cup dashed from my very lips by your hand"?He paused, the*blood rushed violently tools face, his eyes seemed to swim in a fiery glow. " Does sho love you V" said Airlle, iu I u low tone, gripping the railing of tho bridge. " Love me ? No," he cried. " Did I not have to listen to the story of her grief, for you, day after duy, week after woek ? She seemed to forget that I had over loved her, that I might still have a heart. Lovo mo! Sho would never have lovod mo as sho loves you I but I could have won hor confi dence, her affection, could havo mado her happy in time " "And for the sake of wiuuing that poor shadow of love you intend to take my life," said Airlle, quietly. " Well, the advantages are all on your side. I am unarmed and so enfeebled in body that 1 cannot offor any resistance. You are the only acquaintance I have so far met. You cun kill me, then fling my body over this railing into one of those pools of water, and your secret will be us safo us though I hud really feilen on tho battlefield. Is that your plan ?" "Yes." said Dellaney. "When wo first met this morning, I was stunned ; I knew not what to do, then this thought came to me. 1 could havo taken your lifo easily as wo crossed the Held." "This is decidely tho best place for murder, Justin." "Why do you tako it so coolly? Why don't you bog for mercy, or show some fear 9 Man, do you realize your position ?" " Could I fail to, when I seo my best friond ready to shoot mo down ? Why do you hesitate ?" DeUaney threw up his hand, and Airlio iustlnctivoly. braced himself to meet tho shot; but it did not come. Tho pistol circled through tho air, struck sharply against a tree, startling a flock of black vultures with tho harmless shot it sent into their midst, then sank with adiissing sound through tho green oozo of the marsh. Airlio closed his eyes for an instant, the sense of reliof making him dizzy. Ho had faced death too often to cower before it now, but to havo it come when so near home, so near Dorkis. it required something more than moro courage to meet it with composure. A strange sound smote tho siloneo. Ho looked up. Dellaney stood with his face hidden in his hands weeping like a woman, and yet un'ike one in that it wus a thousand times more ter rible. What emotion moved him so deeply, his friend did not know : but it was a sight to stir all that was gen erous in Airlies, generous nature Ho went nearer; but when he laid his hand on Dolhu.oy's shoulder it wus shaken otT. | "Co !" ho cried, " why do you stay to witness my shame, my humiliation? The madness? it was madness?is over. I have had murder in my thoughts ; but I will not have it on my hands." "Let meat least say that I pardon you, Justin." Dollancy raised his face, marred by tho conflict of his foelings almost be yond recognition. " You and I part bore, Airlle, never to meet again either as friends or foes : but I want to tell you that it was not alone lack of nerve prevented you from receiving that shot, but at tho last moment I realized that friendship was still stronger than love. Now leave me, 'tis all I ask." Airlio walked slowly across the bridge and up through the field on tho .other side, his head bent down, the 'spring and eagerness gono from his step. Once he paused and looked hack. (Deilaney stood on the bridge where he (iad left him, motionless, solitary, the >urple shadows of tho marsh thicket N'oadening over hiin. ( Dorkis walked in the shade of the grape arbor. Above her head hung clusters of pale green grapes, and hor [white muslin gown?put on for the fi. .%t time since her widowhood?trailed over grass and straggling weedy flow ers. Miss Samantha had persuaded her to put on the white gown. " Justin will bo back to-day, and you ought to do it for his sake." " I wish that I had said two weeks, or two months," cried Dorkis. "Aunt Samantha. I cannot forget Jeff." ?' I don't want, you to forget him, child,'" said the old lady, pityingly, tenderly. " Don't marry Justin unless you think you could be contented with him." "I will go out in tho garden and think it all over again." But tho more sho thought, tho more distasteful grew tho idea of a second marriage. She had spent that week in looking over her husband's things, reading his letters anil laying them asido ready to burn. How carefully she had treasured every lino written by him, from tho first note, scrawled in u school-boy hand, down to the last letter penned by the light of a eamp fire. The growth of his lovo could be clearly' traced from tho passionate fancy of a youth, to t he deep, abiding faith of the man. Could sho destroy those tender words, written by one who would nover more walk the earth t And yet sho must do it if a now lovo was accepted. The past must all be out behind her, its joy, its sorrow and regret. Terror seized hor. "Can I let another man take his place in my heart, put all the visible tokens of his life from me? Can I let him become only a memory, fading out ytur by year, until, when old age comes, our love will seem only a dream ?an episode of a day ? When othors Speak of him I must be silent, not even as friend or acquaintance dare 1 claim him. Oh, f cannot do it ?I cannot: I am his wife, his love and he is mine." She loaned against the trellis and sobbed aloud, tears raining down her cheeks and into tho diaphanous folds of her yown. "Beloved, I will be true?true, through separation, through death. Nothing shall part us iu spirit, if there be any power in lovo." Her weeping penetrated the sweet silence of the old garden with strange ly mournful sound. Tho doves, nesting in a corner of the summer bouse, tlut tered uneasily; and Miss Samantha, walking down by tho prlvot hedge, paused to listen with an uneasy sense of remorse. Porhaps she had been unwise, after all. in urging on this marriage. She stole back to the house and sat down in the parlor, to idly wait to see what the day would bring forth : and presently Dorkis walked into the room, her stop firm, her lo ad, habi tually drooping, hold erect. " I have decided, Aunt Samantha," she said, in a low tono. "Yes?" and tho old lady held her knitting with trembling lingers. " You have decided not to marry Justin." " I have. 1 may be. ;i weak, depend ent creature, but I would rather ontor u convont to-morrow never to see aught of tho world again than to bo false to Jeff. Buttern thousand times tho flagellations and penanoes of a nun's lifo than this mockery of a second marriage." They heard a step in the hall. Mi^s Samantha rose hastily to withdraw.

Asked to explain as clearly as pos sible the feelings peculiar to the ascent and descent ot a person to and from the extraordinary altitudes to which she travels, Mrs. Rom ig said: ''The sensations are diametrically op posite to the general idea that prevails among people who never made such attempts; instead of feeling yourself lifted bodily and swiftly up into spuco. you have a realistic sense of staying just exaetly where you were, and of the earth falling away and downward from you. This feding continues just so long as your balloon continues to riso : when it comes to a standstill you realize for tho first time that you have moved upward, and, of course, tho wonderful panorama spread out below you gives instant advice of tho Immonse altitudes you have attained. "Tho descent from such a tremen dous height by the parachute is another thing, though it, too, involves something of the samo sensation re versed. You seem to seo tho earth ascending to meet you, but your pre* gross downward is so gentle and so much more deliberate that you can not but kuow you are going down. This fact is forcibly impressed on your mind when you cut loose from the bal loon. "Tho dosccnt then, and until tho parachute fills, is as sheer und sudden and direct as any unpremeditated fall you over experienced, ranging in depth, according to the volume of wind, from twenty-five to one hundred feet, and this is tho most unpleasant part of my business. The same pre caution of holding t he breath is as im peratively necessary in this first fall as it is when you are submerged in the water." In response to a question as to tho longest jump she had made in her career as an aeronaut. Mrs. Romig said that in 1S!)0, at Baker's Beach, just inside the Golden Gate at San Francisco, she made a perfectly 'suc cessful jump from an altitude deter mined by mathematical instruments to be just a fraction over two and one half miles. Sho alighted in the bay, but being fully protected with a Life preserver (which sho always dons when exhibiting near rivers, lakes or other large bodies of water), sho was all right when picked up by the boat men, who instantly went to her relief. Mrs. Roniig says : " The easiest place in which to land is a body of water or a plouged field, but of tho two I prefer the field." The Art ok Conversation.?An other thing which has gone out of fashion is the art of conversation. It lias of late years been so neglected that it is the rarest chance to meet with a young man who can converse at all in tho real sense of the word. Among bis own set be can babble about mutual aquaintances, the new singer, tho next race or tue last scandal. But throw him among strangers and he is silent and dull, perhaps making short re murks in a jerky and confused manner, but certainly betraying no intelligent interest if u new diseovery be mention ed, a piece of important political news told or some information given about a subject of real value. As a conse quence, he is not only bored, but he sliows it, because he has never culti vated that polite interest in his fellow creatures which would enable him to respond sympathetically. One of the old French noblesse was lately heard to remark that when he first went into society his fattier used to impress upon nis mind tiiat at a party he was hound to insure its success so far as ho was in dividually concerned. To make him self agreeable was a duty not to be neglected without a grave breach of courtesy both to tho guests and the friends who invited him. In u modern gathering no such anti quated sentiment would find a dis ciple. Young people, it they do not meet some one to flirt with, will osten tatiously proclaim their boredom, and would stare in astonishment if it were suggested that at friend s house it was the duty towards the hostess to pay attention to those who found them selves among strangers. To hint that old ladies and ugly girls should have a little share of consldoraion would be to subject oneself to the charge of old fashioned.? fall Mall Gazette. . - Senator Waltholl, of Mississippi, who.se present term expires on March 3, L8U6 and who was also elected in January 1402 for the term commenc ing Maroh 4. 1805, has resigned.
