[Henry Timrod. THE GREAT DEADWOOD MYSTERY. BY BEET HASTE (Copyrighted 1880, by Houghton, Mlffiln & Co., and published by anhagernent with them.] was growing quite dark in the telegraph office at Cottonwood, Tuol umne county, Cal ifornia. The office, jiu box-liko enclos ure, was separated from the public 1 room of the Miners’ hotel by a thin par tition ; and tha oper ator, who was also newt and apreas agent at Cottonwood, had closed his window, and was lounging by his news stand preparatory to going home. Without, the first monotonous rain ot the season was dripping from tho porches of the hotel in the waning light of a Decem ber day. The operator, accustomed as be waa to long intervals of idleness, was fast becoming bored. The treed of rand-muffled boats on tho veranda, and the entrance of two men, offered a momentary excitement He recognized in the strangers two prominent citizens of Cot tonwood ; and their manner bespoke business. One of them proceeded to the desk, wrote a dispatch, and handed it to the other inter rogatively. “That’s about tho way the thing p’ints,” responded his companion assentingly. “I reckoned it only sqaar to use bis dienti- kal words!” “That’s so." Tho first speaker turned to the O|rerator with the dispatch. “How soon con you shove her through T The operator glanced professionally over tha addreas and the length of tha dispatch. “Now,” ha answered promptly. “And she get* there!” “To-night. But there’s no delivery until to-morrow.” “Shpva bar through to-night, and say there’s M axtra twenty left here for delivery. M Shove her through to-night.’' The operator, accustomed to all kinds of extravagant outlay for expedition, replied ♦s.t bo would lay this proposition, with the dispatch, before the Bon Francisco office. He than took M aad read it—and re-read it He pi mu ml the usual professional apathy- had doubtlam sent many more enigmatical and mysterious messages—but nevertheless, when he finished, he raised his eyes inquir tngly to his customer. That gentleman, who an joyed a reputation for equal spontaneity of temper and revolver, met his gaae a little im patiently. The operator hod recourse to a trick. Under the pretence of misunderstand ing the memage, he obliged tho tender to re peat It aloud for tho sake of accuracy, and oven suggested a few verbal alterations, ostensibly to Insure correctness, but really to extract farther information. Navsrthclosa, tha masidhxedly persistad in a literal trans cript of his msssege. The operator went to Us instrument hesitatingly. “I suppose,” he added half questioningly, “there ain’t no chance of a mistake. TUt address Is Rigbtbody, that rich old Hatooian that everybody knows. There ain’t bat one!" “That’s the address,” responded the first speaker coolly. “Didn't know the tad chap had inrestmaohi out bars,” suggested the operator, lingering For tome few momenta apthing was hired batthOefiohcf the fcatnuieal, a* the opera tor worked the key, with tha osaal appear ance of impartlag ewifidsaia to a somewhat reluctant hearer who preferred to talk him- •eif. The two mea toood by, watching his ■httytos kith tha ipaal ere* tbs l 5V hea he had fink AS snow bound streets, between the high walls of close-shuttered ray less houses, to a certain formal square, ghostly with snow covered statues. Hero he ascended tho brood steps of a reserved and solid looking mansion, and pulleo a bronze bell knob, that somewhere within those chaste recesses, after on apparent reflective pause, coldly communicated tho fact that a stranger was waiting without—os he ought Despite the lateness of the hour, there was a slight glow from the windows' clearly rot enough to warm the messenger with indication* of a festivity within, but yet bespeaking, as it were, some prolonged though subdued excitement. The sober ser vant who took the dispatch, and receipted for it as gravely a* if witnessing a lost will and testament, rcs]>ectfuUy paused before the entrance of the drawing room. Tho sound of measured and rhetorical 'speech, through which the occasional catarrhal cough of the Now England coast struggled, as the only effect of nature uot wholly re pressed, came from its heavily-curtained re cesses; for the occasion of the evening had been the reception and entertainment of various distinguished persons, and, os had been epigrammatically expressed by one of the guests, “the history of tho country" was taki ng its leave in phrases more or less mem orable and characteristic. Borne of these valedictory axioms were clever, some witty, a few profound, but always left as a genteel contribution to tho entertainer. Borne had : been already prepared, and, like a card, had served and identified the guest at other man sions. The last guest departed, the last carriage rolled away, when the servant ventured to indicate the existence of tho dispatch to his master, who was standing on the hearth rug in an attitude of wearied self-righteousness. He took it, opened it, read it, re-read it, and said: “There must 1*) somo mistake! It is not for me. Call the hoy, Waters.” Waters, w bo was perfectly aware that the boy had left, nevertheless obediently walked toward the hall door, but was recalled by his master. “No matter—at present!’’ “It’s nothing serious, William!” asked Mrs. Rigbtbody, with languid wifely concern. “No, nothing, .s there a light in my study?” “Yes. But before y u go, can you give me a moment or two!" Mr. Rigbtbody turned a liltlo impatiently toward his wife. Bhe had thrown herself languidly on the sofa; her hair was slightly disarranged, end part of a slippered foot was visible. She might have tieeu a finely formed woman; but even her careless desha bille left the general impression that she was severely flannclcd throughout, and that any ostentation of womanly charm was under vigorous sanitary surveillance. “Mrs. Marvin told me to-night that her son made no secret of his serious attachment for our Alice, and that, if I was satisfied, Mr. Marvin would be glad to confer with you at onoe.” Tho information did i.yt seem to ahaorb Mr. Bightbody’s wandering attention, but rather increased his impatience. He said hastily that lie would speak of that to-mor row, and portly by way of reprisal, and partly to dismiss the subject, added: “Positively James must pay somo attention to the register and tho thermometer. It waa over 70 degs. to-night, and tho ventilating draft waa closed In the drawing room.” “That was because Profcasdr Ammon sat near it, and the old gentleman’s tonsils are so sensitive.” “Ho ought to know from Dr. Dyer Doit that systematic and regular exposure to draughts stimulates tho mucous membrane; while fixed nir over sixty degrees invari ably ” “I am afraid, William," interrupted Mrs. Uightbody, with feminine adroitness, adopt ing her husband’s topic with a view of there by directing him from It; “Pm afraid that people do not yet appreciate the substitution of bouillon for punch and ices. I observed that Mr. Spondee declined it, and, I fancied, looked disappointed. Tho fibriue and wheat in liqueur glasses passed quite unnoticed, too.” “And yet each half drachm contained the half-digested substance of a pound of beef. Pm surprised at Spondee!” continued Mr. Rigbtbody, aggricvcdly. “Bxhausting hi* brain and nerve force by tha highest creative efforts of the Muse, he prefers perfumed and diluted alcohol flavored with carbonic acid gas. Even Mrs. Faring nay admitted to me that tho sudden lowering of the temperature of the stomach by tha introduction of ice- “At present," continued Mr. Rigbtbody, ■till awkwardly, “I sec no objection to the proposed arrangement.” Miss Alice opened her round eyes at thi* “Why, papa, I thought it hod been all aet- tled long ago! Mamma knew it, you knew It Lost July momma and you talked It over.” “Yes, yes,” returned her father, fumbling ais papers; “that is—well, we will talk of it to-morrow.” In fact, Mr. Uightbody had intended to give the affair a proper attitude of seriousness and solemnity by duo precision of 8])eech and some apposite reflections, when ho should impart the news to bis daughter, but felt himself unable to do it now. “I am glad, Alice," bo said at last, “.hat you have quite forgotten your previous whims and fancies You see ice are right.” “Ohl I dare say, papa, if I’m to be mar ried at all, that Mr Marvin is in every way suitable.” Mr. Kightt'slv looked at hi* daughter nar rowly. There was not the slightest impatience nor bitterness in her manner; it was as well regulated as the sentiment the expressed. “Mr. Marvin is”—he began. “I know what Mr. Marvin •*,” interrupted Miss Alice; “and be has promised me that I shall be allowed to go on with my studies tho same as before. I shall graduate with my class; and, if I prefer to practice my profes sion, I can do so in two year* after our mar- riaffe.” “In two years?” queried Mr. Uightbody, curiously. “Yes. You see, in ease we should have a child, that would give me time enough to wean it.” Mr. Rigbtbody looked at this flesh of his flesh, pretty and palpable flesh as it was; but, being confronted as equally with the brain of his brain, all he could do was to say meekly: “Yes, certainly. We will see about all that to-morrow.” Miss Alico rose. So me tiling in the free, unfettered swing of her arms as she rested them lightly, after a half yawn, on her lithe hips, suggested his next speech, although still distrait and impatient. “You continue your oxerebe with the health-lift yet, I see.” “Yes, papa; but I had to give up the flan nel*. I don’t see how mamma could wear them. But my dresses are high-necked, and by bathing I toughen my skin. Heel” she added, as with a child-like unconsciousness, she unfastened two or three buttons of her gown, and exposed the white surface of her throat and neck to her father, “I can defy a chid.” Mr. Rigbtbody, with something akin to a genuine, playful paternal laugh, leaned for ward and kissed her forehead. “It’s gettingJate, Ally,” he said parentally, but not dictatorily. “Go to bed. ” “I took a nap of three hours this afternoon,” said Miss Alice, with a dazzling smile, “to an ticipate this dissipation. Good night, papa. To-morrow, then.” “To-morror.-,” repeated Mr. Rigbtbody,with his eyes still tixed upon tho girl vaguely. “Good-night.” Miss Alice tripped from the room, possibly a trifle the more light-heartedly that she had parted from her father in one of bis rare mo ments of illogical human weakness. And per haps It was well for the poor girl that she kept this single remembrance of him, when, I I fear, in after years, his methods, his reason ing mid indeed all he had tried to impress upon her childhood, had faded from her manory. ?or, when she had left, Mr. Uightbody fell again to the examination of his old letters. This was quite absorbing; so much so, that ho did not notice the footsteps of Mrs. Right- body on the staircase as she passed to her chamlier, nor that she had paused on the landing to look through the glass half-door on her husband, os lie sat there with the letters beside him, and the telegram opened before him. Hod she waited a moment later, she would have seen him rise, and walk to the sofa with a disturbed air and a slight con fusion; so that, on reaching it, he seemed to hesitate to lie down, although pale and evi dently faint. Had she still waited, she would have seen him rise again with an agonized effort, stagger to tho table, fumblingly refold and replace the papers in the cabinet, and lock it, and, although now but half conscious, hold the telegram over the gas flame till it was consumed. For, had she waited until this moment, she would have flown unhesi tatingly to his aid, as, this act completed, he staggered again, reached his hand toward the bell, but vainly, and then fell prone upon the sofa. But alas! no providential nor accidental hand was rai:*od to save him or anticipate the progress of this story. And when, half an Dignity of Human Nature. “I do not dream,” said William E. Channing, “when I speak of the divine capacities of human nature.
