CHAPTER III.
N0 beautiful or accomplished woman
reaches the age of thirty without having
passed through some more or 1685 serious
alIairs of the heart, especially if she be an
heiress in her own right.
Juliet Mayne was no exception to this
rule. She was barely twenty-one when
her father died, and she found herself the
possessor of an income of nearly three
thousand a year, a fortune which came to
her from her mother’s side, and in Lionel
Mayne, esq. , her father, only had a life in-
terest. When a young man of limited
means, and, as his friends had decided, of
idle habits, he had dabbled in art. Find
' ing his way to Rome for the furtherance
of what he was pleased to call his studicn
he fell naturally into the easy going Bobc-
miun life prevailing in the Eternal City.
Coming from a good Roman Catholic funr
ily, and being extremely handsome, he
had no difficulty in entering the best so-
ciety. There he met his fate in the per-
son of a wealthy and charming young
Italian girl of noble birth. A marriage.
was arranged with the consent of all par—
ties, and if his friends at the Cafe Greco
cordially and sincerely congratulated him
on his good fortbnc, they did so with an
honest regret that it. would deprive them
of his society; for my gentleman no soon-
er found himself deeply in love, and re-
lieved'of' all petty anxieties, than he dc'
ternrined to abandon art, and lead the life
of an English country gentleman.
Thus it came to pass that for several
years he resided in one of the hunting
counties of his native land, witlr his young
Italian bride.’ But although her resources
were ample, and arrived with the utmost
regularity from the family estate near Ti- ‘
voli, they were insufficient to meet the ex-
truvagunt outlay in which her lord and
master indulged. It was fortunate for
the poor lady that he could lay no hand
upon the capital, (that matter had been
carefully arranged by deed of settlement.
etc.,) or he would soon have brought him-
sclf back to his old impecunious condition.
As it was,fhcy had simply to retrench,
but as be refused to do this in the face of
his country acquaintances, they repaired
:_to London, where, not long afterward, his
now neglected wife died, leaving a little
girl of seven, the only offspring of the
marriage, to the tender mercies of her
abiftless, selfish, but not unkind father.
Handsome as was the income he dcriVed
from his life interest in the little Julict‘s
property, he by no means spent as much
of it as he ought on the child’s general edu—
cation und when it was discovered that
she was developing a magnificent soprano
voice, and was promising to become a
very beautiful wdmau, hc secretly deter—
mined that shc should adopt the stage as
a profession. With this intention, the-rt-
fore, when she was about sixteen, he took
her to Italy, and for awhile placed her
un'lpr the best masters.
It was during this period that a certain
Giovanni Caldiui, u tenor singer of some
repute, first made her acquaintance. He
held a prominent position in the Theatre
of La Scalu at Milan, was an extremely
clever and versatile actor, combining with
a fair voice, qualities as a gymnast and
pantomimistwhich alone would have tirade
him celebrated.
I-Ie bore, however, but a very indiffer—
ent chaarctcr, and his notorious galiautrics
had on more than one occasion, brought
him into evil prominence before the not
very squeamish public of the northern.
capital.
Mr. Lionel Mayne, although supposed
to reside in Milan, as the legitimate guard-
ian of his young daughter, gave but little
heed to her private pursuits. Assiduous
always in her attention to everything
which related to her studies, he neverthe-
less neglected her in all other respects, and
it was only after many warnings, anony-
mous and otherwise, that he condescendqd
to exercise his parental authority, and put
a stop to the rather compromising acquain‘
tanec which had sprung up between J ull-
et and the notorious Signor Caldini. But
it was too late; the affair had gone too
far. Unwisc and ill-judging in this, as in
most matters, he took such violent meas-
ures in his efforts to terminate the ac-
quaintance, that one fine morning be and-
denly discovered to his dismay that his
authority had been set at defiance, and
that his daughter had fled, no one knew-
whither; but as Signor Giovanni Caldini
simultaneously disappearedmnd broke his
engagement at the. theatre, it was fairly
assumed that the two bad departed togeth-

y ng girl’s terror at her father’s violence

i her to‘iis step, under the assurance
if t when in the French capital she should
1) ome his wife. Once there, however,
hlsbowed himself in his true colors, and
rtiused to fulfill his promise. Panic-
s icken, horrified by his perfidy, the
girlish affection which she had conceived
..
r him was destroyed, and in its place
rere grow an unspeakable aversion. The
{urban blood in her veins asserted itself,
9nd she fled from him, even as she fled
from her father. Eluding all pursuit, she
had reached Vienna, where her musical
rowers soon enabled her to support
Vierself. Thence she drifted from place to
place, until she reached London. She
lwaye avoided Italy, being ashamed and
z‘fraid to return to her father, forcseeing
l w much her flight must have imperilled
l r good name, and how difficult, even
i. possible, it would be to persuade him
of her innocence of all wrong.
No longer vengeful or angry, broken in
health and spirit, the father died very soon
after he had rescued his child from com-
parativc poverty and the sordid though
honest life she was leading. and, as has
been said, Juliet Mayne, not yet quite
twentyone—this young, accomplished,
beautiful and unhappy scion of anoblc
Italian family—found herself 'Wcatby and
independent, but utterly alone in the
World. .
At first. she had thought of returning to
Italy, but eventually cfl'ecting an arrange-
ment with an elderly English lady, an old
friend of her mother's, as chapcron and
companion, she retired with her to Chel-
tenham. Here, for a while, they lived in
' great retirement, but gradually Juliet
Maync’s musical abilities brought her into
unavoidable notice, and byzdegrccs into a
little of the best society. Here, by acci-
dent, she met Sir Charles Vandcllan, who
was visiting in the neighborhood, and not-
withstanding accrtain disparity in their
years, a marriage was the result, as we
_ have seen.
This was the sum and substance of what
Henry Swainson learned in the course of
' door.
Volume .LXXXIII.
the ntcrvicw which followed upon
his finding Lady Vandellan waiting for
him in his room. This was the history
she gave of her life, after he had shown
her that if he was to help her at all in her
trouble, she must have perfect confidence
in him and keep nothing back.
She began by explaining that having ac-
knowledged her fault and her difficulty
to him, she felt he was the fittest and only
person she could further trust to look to
for advice in an impending'peril. She was
in a state of the greatest possible excite-
ment and distress, and after briefly stating
. that she and her husband were in town on
their way to Rome sooncr ”than they ex-
pected, and that she had come out on the
pretext of seeing her millincr, said, “But
in reality, Mr. Swainson, it is you I have
come to see, first as a friend, and secondly
as a lawyer. Onc deceit only leads to an-
other, you scc.and Heaven only knows
how many more I must resort to if lam
to preserve Sir Charles happiness. After
what you discovered at Malvcrn, I feel
that you are the only person who can help
mc—who can save me, perhaps, if you
will, when you know the worst.”
The young barrister endeavored to roast.
sure her, and she continued:
“Unhappily, you are not the only person
who has recognized me, who has found
me out rather, and he,abovc all, is the one
most to be dreaded. Oh,I littli: knew the
risk I run even in our retirement; you
were the first to show it to inc—and now,
now—3’
Here the poor lady broke down, and be-
came for a lime quite incoherent. At this
point it was that- Swainson began to put
such questions as ended in his eliciting the
whole truth. th1 at length he was in
full possession of it he said : ‘
“Tell me candidly, Lady Vandellau,
how much does Sir Charles know of your
life ?"
“In the main he knows e'vcrytlringmave
of my acquaintance with Caldiui—of that
he never heard. Help me, help me still
to keep that from him, Mr. Swainson, for
should he ever learn it—ah ! it does not
bear thinking of, and yet this may happen
at any moment, for it is Caldini who has
discovered me. How, I know not,but he
has. I have seen him, spoken with him,
and he threatens me. He also knows that
we are going to Rome onbusiness connect—
ed with my cstatc, for it was upon the
pretence that he came about this that he
presented himself-at Malvcrn only three
days age. Imagine my consternation, my
horror, when, using the name of my
agent or steward in Home, he was shown
into thc library, where Sierurles and I
were sitting together. An adept always
in disguises, be deceived me by his voice
and manner, and I did not know him at
first, but all in a momcntI recognized him,
and I thought I should have died in ter-
ror. I know not how I hid my feelings,
but I did. and while he was pretending to
talk on the business which had brought
him, and .with which he appeared to be
conversant he contrived to give me this
letter unseen,” and Lady Vandcllan placed
a folded paper in Swainson’s hand. “You
will see the threat it contains,” she added
as be opened it.
“Ah, you forget,” said Swainson, run-
ning his eye over it, “I am not Italian
scholar enough to'read it."
“Well, no matter; be simply states that
unless I provide him with ample funds
for the rest of his life he will. disclose all
to my husband.”
“But," inquired Swainson, “has be any
proofs of your early acquaintance ?”
“Alas, yes! he has fourteen letters of
mine to himself—letters that would seem
to compromise me, and I have come to
entrust, to implore you to try jand get
them from him—to see if you cannot
make some terms with him to secure his
silence. I would pay him anything in rea-
son for the letters. While he holds them
I should never know a moment’s peace,
for I could not trust him to use them. I
should be ever in his power.” .
The young barrister pondered for a
while, and then said:
“As you truly say, one deceit leads to
another, Lady Vandellau, and there is no
help for you now but in deceit. We can-
not stay to question the morality. I
must get these letters for you, and we
must then outfacc, defy, deny this fcllow’s
statement, if he should make any. He
could prove nothing without the letters '1’"-
“No,” she interrupted eagerly.
“Well, then, tell me where I may find
him. If I. can save you, be sure I will. I
will do so for Sir Cbarlcs’s sake, remember,
if not your own. His happiness depends
on his ignorance, and, wrong as it may
sound, I will preserve his happiness at any
cost.”
Lady Vandellan then gave Swainsen
directions where to find Caldini in Lon.
don. “You must seek him at once," she
said, “as he only gives me a month to
make up my mind. Here are bank notes
for six or seven pounds; make the best
bargain you can with him. If that sum
will not satisfy him, here is a blank check
on my private account, wick I have
signed, and which you can fill up for any
amount that may be necessary. I must
leave all to you, as I cannot see you again.
I must go now. We start for Florence at
6 to-morrow morning, and we shall not be
in Rome till the end of the month. If
you succeed in getting the letters, send
them to me by some safe means, to the
address you will find here with the money
and check.”
Swainson took the envelope she handed
to him, and with many assurances that.
she might rely on him, and amidst a ter-
rent of gratitude from her, he eventuallv
' saw her safely into a cab in St. James

lie was so absorbed by the strange
events which this unexpected interview
had revealed to him, and with the position
in which it had placed him, that he did
not observe the tall. figure of a seedily:
dressed man of foreign aspect, following
close upon his heels, as he returned to his
Just as be reached it the man came
up, and thoroughly startled him by saying
in clear but broken English : “Sir, your
pardon, but I can save you some. trouble,
if you guess right. You seek one Culdini
—I am that one.” ‘ '
Swaiuson despite his strong nerve, was-
for the moment unable to answer, and the
man continued:
“I only guess—but yet I guess, that the
lady you just parted with has spoken to
you of me. I do not know you—but
again I guess; her business with me is
left to you. Am I right? Will you deal
with me “I"
The barrister had recovered his compo-
sure. Hc eyed the fellow steadily' under
the gaslight from top to toe, and than said
ooolly: “Yes, if you can give some proof
that you are he." '
“Sir,” was the reply, “the lady was Lady
Vaudellau; once her name was Mayne;
once she eloped with me ; 1 am now poor,
she is rich; I want money. I track her
wherever she goes, even to Rome to-mor-
row, until she pays me. If you are to pay
me you can—now, and I disappear till I
want more money, when I come to her
again, _or to you as you please—is this
proof?" ‘
Swainsou felt that it was; he saw that
it was not a time to stick at trifles, and be
decided now to act. “Walk in,” he said.
“give are ten minutes, and we will see if
we can do business together.”
He showed the man into his sitting-
room, which was on the ground-floor and
instantly.turning the key upon him, rush-
ed out of the house and across Piccadilly
to the police station in Vine street.
Giving his card to the inspector on duty,
be explained that he might want the as-
sistance of a constable on a delicate mat-
ter be had in hand, and begged that one
might be immediately sent to take up his
stand at the door of No. —— in Duke street,
there to wait further orders. As an earn-
est of his good faith, he paid then and
there the usual fee for such sgrvice, and a
man was instantly told all for it. In less
than ten minutes Swainson had unlocked
the door of his roonr, and was again face
to face with his strange visitor. Tire man
rose as he said :
“You have taken great precaution, sir,
but why should I run uwuy ? it is not for
me to run." . _
“Never mind that,” said the barrister;
l'now to business. Sit down; you guess
rightly in supposing that I know the state
of udairs between you and Lady Varuh-l—
hm so We will not heat about the bush.
You have letters of hers—fourteen in
number. Name your price for them.”
The man involuntarily grasped at the
outside of his breast pocket, and Swain-
son knew that he had the letters with him
there. . .
"I do not sell those," he said a little her.
vously, for he was evidently not prepared
for the rapid way-in which the barrister
had come to the point. '
“ Then in that case, do yep know.”
went on the- latter firmly, “what I am
going to do?"
“Oh, you can do nothing that I care
for. ’
“You are mistaken; if you are um ten
‘Mlltblc, and refuse tosell the letters—you
s hall have a good price for them—l shall .
give you into custody for being in posses-
sion of propctt y that does not belong to
you. I have a policeman Outside there
ready to_take you. Look, you may see
hint standing against the area railings
now,” and he drew back the curtain of the
window. Caldini glanced through the
opening and saw the constable, but he
shrugged his shoulders and said :
“Oh,it is nonsense that the letters are
my property, I can prove they are address
cd to me."
"Very likely,” said Swainson ; “that
does not matter for my purpose: You rc-
fuse to sell the letters; I call in the police-
man and give you into custody; you are
taken to the station and searched. The
letters are found on you. Iclaim them on
behalf of the lady who wrote them It
will take you sometime to provo your
identity before a magistrate, that they are
really yours. In the meanwhile I get pos-
session of them and destroy them. You
may, if you carry matters to extremity,
charge me with false imprisonment and
all the rest of it, but it will be difficult
and cost money, and take a long time.
Perhaps you punish mé in the end; I take
my punishment. Perhaps thatmay be a
satisfaction to you, but, meanwhile, the
letters no longer exist; you have no proof
that Lady Vundellan cver’saw you in her
life, and if you attempt to annoy her, the
law will protect her, Now,” went on
Swainson slowly, “Signor Caldini, do yeti
realize that picture sufficiently to contrast
it with another which I will paint for you?
I say to you name your price for the let-
tcrs ; hand them to me; and you go away
from this house a rich man. You have no
wish to harm a woman you were once fond
of; you only want money. I offer it to
you. Now, .how much i" .
The foreigner bad keenly followed fill
that had been uttered, and appeared to be
revolving it in his mind. Presently he
said:
”Ah, but this is nonsense. Your law
will not allow that you yourself take the
things from my pocket—your police take
them, perhaps, but they are returned to
me.’ _ ,
“Yes,” but not before I have examined
them to see if they are what I shall state
them to be, and when I once have tham in
my hands I pop them in a moment into
the fire, and then, where are you? I shall
be punished, perhaps, but the lady will be
safe, and that is all I care for. Do you
sec 1“” .
Signor Caldiui showed signs that he did
see, for altcra little more consideration he
went on :
“Well, give me. £500 in good money
down at this moment and you shall hav’c
the hitters.”
“Let mcsce them ?‘ said Swainson.
“Ab, no!" responded the other; “not
till I see the money. You may destroy
them even here, as you threaten.”
“No, you could prevent that; you are
stronger than I am; the fire is out, too,”
said Swainson, pointing to the grate, “the
gas light above there is out of my reach.
See, now, I will place the money on this
side of the table by you, you shall count
it. Then you shall put the letters on my
side of, the table—mind! all, every one!
Come now, be Wise 1"
And he began counting the notes as he
took them from the packet Lady Vandel-
lan had recently given him, and laid them
one by one within reach of his visitor.
The sight of the ready money was too
much for the Italian. He made a feeble
show of hesitation, but presently drew
from his breast pocket a packet of letters
time-worn and dirty for the most part,
and held together by an old elastic band,
“That is all, on my faith, all fourteen,"
he added, putting them on the table by
Swainson’s side, and he‘lrned his pocket
inside out.
Swainson, having counted and examin-
ed the letters sufficiently to convince
himself that they were whagie wanted,
at length said:
“Right !"
Then he took a large blue envelope
from the writing case on the table, put
them in it, fastened it down, and dipping
- a pen into some ink, hastened to direct it.
While Caldini was gathering up the
notes and putting them . in his pocket, he
eyed the bulky envelope longingly, as if
regretting now having parted with its con-
tents. For a moment he seemed inclined
to seize it : his brow darkened ominously,
and he made a movement with his hand
toward the packet.
“Ah! ab !" cried Swainson, suddenly
observing-the action and rising quickly,
“you forget the policeman outside, do
you? Shall I call him in to see you saftr
ly off the premises?”
“Oh, you mistake me," said the Italian
with a sardonic smile and how, “I wish
you good night.”
“It is the best thing you can do," said
Swain son, opening the door, and the next
instant the man was in the street. As the
barrister let him cut, and watched him
disappear into the darkness, he beckoned
to the constable, and after dismissing him,
closed the door and returned to his room.
For a while he stood irrcsolute; presently
he looked at his watch, put on his hat, and
going forth into the night, beat his steps
to the Wits? club. .
“Ab, Smith l" he exclaimed to a gentle-
man at that, moment just emerging into
the well-lighted por'tico,“you arc the very
man I wanted to sec—I am so glad I have
caught you again“: I think there is alittle
commission you can execute in Rome for
me after all; see." and then he took the
blue envelope from his pocket, and after
standing in earnest converaation with him
for several minutes, he handed him the
package, and with a few more words the
two shook hands and parted at the street
corner. .
,aside my statutes and write a
CHAPTER IV.
’It was about eight days after the events
just recorded that Swainson received thz
letter from Rome, dated the 11th of April,
with which this chronicle opens. It ecu-
firmed, as we have seen, only too surely
his suspicions concerning Caldini’s inten-
tion if possible to regain possession of the
letters at. all costs.
Answuing it by return of post, he
awaited with the kcenest anxiety the next
communication from hrs friend. .
This arrived at the end of the month
and on the eve of Swainson’s departure
for India. Thus it ran:
“1 am not surprised to find that my sus-
picions were correct. Any doubt that
might have lingered would have been
cleared tip by subsequent events here, cvm
without your letter of confirmation, and I
should have written anyway today to tell
you of the tremendous affair which bap-
pcned only last evening—the tragic sequel
to my adventure in the railway carriage.
“The window of my room, which is
high up, looks into one of those Roman
courtyards which, as I dare say you know,
generally present an amusing scene, with
their ledges and roofs occupied by all sorts
of live- tock ; cats, dogs, monkeys, par-
rots, downs and greenery, and the vari-
ous evidences of the crowded life gather-
ed together on the difIcrcnt floors. I was
sitting last night without my coat, just
before dusk, watching the antics of two
monkeys in|a;ncighboriug balcony, and it
occurred to me that if one of them phonid
get loose from his chain wypht a game he
might have, and how very e sily he might
enter any of the rooms. Indeed, I
. thought that an agile man might do the
same by clambcriug up, or dropping from
level to level, by aid of the pipes and ir-
regular projections and the network of
wires by which the water is brought up
from the walls iii sliding copper bowls-
Pcrbaps my mind had been running on
wolves—anyhow, I was struck for the
first time with the insecurity of one'a be—
longings, and having received your letter
but a few hours before, I walked to my
trunk in thc' corner,‘ unlocked it, and looked
at your fatal blue envelope just to reassure
myself that it was safe. Then I began
rummaging among shirts and collars for
something I remembered I wanted, could
not find it, and finally, tired of sleeping
over tbs; trunk, gave up the search, lighted
a pipe, and flung myself on my bed.
“The evening was very. warm; every-
body ’s windows were wide open. I had
had a hard day’s work, and I suppose I
began to doze. Suddenly I was aroused
by a slight sound. '0' ‘ncre was only just
enough light left in the sky to show me
where the window was, 'but, what was
more important, there was quite enough
to show me that there was a man appar-
ently getting into my room by the open
casement from the narrow balcony. For
a moment I thought I was dreaming, for
his figure, telling dark against the sky,
looked like that of the spurious contadino '
otherwise your friend Caldiul. I sprang
up, and be, having calculated, no doubt,
from the quiet and the darkness that the
room was empty, was so startled that I
saw him step back,clutch at something,
slip, stagger, topple over, and suddenly
disappear. There was a wild cry of de-
spair, followed by a heavy thud and a
shriek. It was all so mOmeutary and her-
rifying that I do not pretend to describe
accurately any succeeding details. The
main fact with which you are concerned is
that the poor wretch was picked up in the
court below quite dead and sadly mutilat-
ed,'and that he has been recognized as one

make inquiries as to how he could have

session of the letters, or how be actually

is that he must have gained admission to
an adjoining room, and then have crept
cat-like to my balcony.
“This. however, is of little importance
to you or me now—you will be content to
know that the letters are beyond his reach

oured their safety. Still he paid the cost.
himself, and through no one’s fault but his
own. I have just found out that Lady V.
has arrived in Rome; directlyI have exe-
cuted your commission you shall bear
again.” ,
A few days later Swainson received a
letter from the lady herself acknowledg-
ing the receipt of the compromising
packet.
He sailed for India within forty—eight
hours, calming his conscience for the
share be bad in this his strangest experi-
ence, professional and otherwise,0f men
and manners, by the recollection that it
bad preserved his old friend’s domestic
happiness. The assurances that this re-
mains iutaet which he receives from Mal-
vern from time to time are quite sufficient,
he considers, to justify his having helped
Lady Vandellan to keep her dangerous so-
cret. .

story :—-“I heard of a Chicago lawyer
once whose wife read two novels to him
when he was sick, and he said to her :—‘I
have been entirely too much wrapped up
in law and have forgotten almost every-
thing else. When I get well I ll lay
And so he did. The first chapter told
about a nice young man and a pretty
young women. The second told how
they met and fell in love. The third, a
' very pretty chapter, told how they took a
walk together in the evening and how
they get. outside the town because the
sun went down and they couldn’t see the
corporation line. It was a very romantic
story, but be spelled it in the next chapter
for after the loversfivere appropriately
seated under the shade of a spreading oak
the young man said :—‘Adelaide I can no
longer conceal my feelings. I love you
madly, distractedly, wildly. I cannot
live without you. Your image is in my
heart by night and by day, and without
you my life is incomplete.’ Now, that. is
all very pretty, but—would you believe it ?
—tbc lawyer commenced the maiden’s
answer to the burning declaration with :
‘I‘hc other party responded substantially
as follows,’ and that took away all the.
romance—Chicago Tribune.

Confederate Bonds and Scrip.
There are stored in the treasury build-
ing millions of dollars in confederate
scrip, bonds,’etc., most of which was re-
cently transferred from theWar depart-
ment to the abandoned property division
of the treasury. It was at first suggested
that this money of the “lost cause” he
kept as a curiosity, but latterly the dis-
cerning eye of Secretary Folger saw in
the mass of worthless stuff several thou-
sand office tablets, and it was decided to
grind the mass into pulp and convert it
into these useful perquisites of official
routine. Besides the above. there is
stored in one of the treasury warcrooms a
large number of quaint old confederate
documents which will be preserved. They
relate principally to matters of finance
and may contain some suggestions.

Mr. Cannon’s Explanation.
The New York Tribune in an item in-
tended to be funny, gave an account of
me and my affairs in the issue of Sunday,
22nd ult. Making due allowance for the
perfunctory wit of it, and for the usual
inaccuracy, the statements of fact in
regard to the efforts made to destroy me
and the people concerned were substan-
tially correct. It was not my fault that
in saving myself from a perilous position
I was obliged to get into a somewhat
rcdiculous one; neither was it my fault
that the gentlemen of the Tribune, having
ruined a very satisfactory investigation
of my affairs, should wish to dispose of
me in a quasi-humorous way. That the
paper now conducted by the successor of
Horace Greeley refused to do me the
justice to print the following reply shows
the animus and motive of the original
paragraph. Jenn Cannon.
Danbury Aug. 4th.
To the other oft/Le memo:— _
A man who has just saved lrimsojf from
drowning does not mind much that he has
get wet. Still I was treated in the Tribune of
last Sunday 22nd inst, in a manner which
was unnecessarily funny, and in view of' all
the circumstances an infernal outrage: I
have been seriously interfered with here for
several months, partly because some malig-
nant people in the Country were foolish
enough to spend money for my detriment,
and partly because a considerable percentage
of the population of New York are mercenary
scoundrels. And more recently I have had
enough to do to save myself from complete
destruction at the hands of a. strangely-con-
stitutéd conspiracy.
The Tribune might have applied its delicate
wit to better purpose. “Wederington,” I
suppose, is thenamc of the reporter’s beer
garden. I attended a law school at Washing-
tou,,D. 0., not at “Wedcrington.” “The
great mass of my writings” have been dis-
posed of to a publisher of good literary judg-
ment for a. valuable consideration. The
educational work has received the emphatic
commendation of the best judges in the
country. Thomas W. Bicknell of Boston,
says :-“I have just completed the reading of
your Ms. and I am delighted with your
work.” C. W. Bardeen of Syracuse, 'says :—
“It seems to me that every tolerably self-
respecting library would have to have it, and
the class of teachers who read such books is
increasing.
*' * * * “It is a book which it would be
a credit to have on my list.” The whole
business has‘been an outburst of virulent
blockheadism ; and I am a little astonished at
the number and character of the people who
have sold themselves for a comparative trifle
to commit crimes. One would think I were
an incipient Cmsar whom it was necessary to
destroy at any cost.
A galvanic battery ofenmity, jealousy and
spite formed itself in a rural section, and
made such connections here that it was
thought I could not possibly escape the dis-
charge situated as I was. They had under-
estimated my personal resources. Of all the
people concerned I think I have, with the
exception of the Tribune, come out best.
The Tribune of. course has been more
fortunate, inasmuch as it has been able to
print a. poor joke at my expense.
Jxo. CANNON.
New York, July 28th, 1883.
For“ Love of" a Little Child.
In a pottery factory here there is a
workman who had one small invalid child
at home. He wrought at hrs trade with
exemplary fidelity, being always in the
shop with the opening of the day. He
managed. however, to hear each evening
to' the bedside of his “wee lad," as. he
called him, a flower, a bit (1 ribbon, or a
fragment of crimson glass—indeed any
thing that would lie out on the white
counterpane and give a color to the room.
He was a quiet, unsentimcnt man, but
never went home at night without some
thing that would make the wan face light
up with joy at his return. He never said
to a living soul that he loved that boy so
nrucb. Still he went on patiently loving
him. And by and by he moved that
whole shop into positively real, but un-
conscious fellowship with him. The
workmen made curious little jars and
cups upon 'tbeir wccls, and painted di-
minutive pictures down their sides before
they stuck them in the corners of the kiln
at burning time. One brought some fruit
in the bulge of his apron, and another ;en-
gravings in a rude scrap-book. Not one
of them whispered a word for this solemn
thing was not to be talked aborfi. They
put them in the old man’s but, where he
found them, so he understood all about
it; believe it or not, cynics, as you will,
but it is a fact, that the entire pottery full
of men of rather coarse fibre by nature,
grew quiet as the months drifted, becom-
ing gentle and kind, and some dropped
“wearing as the weary look on the patient
fellow worker’s face told them beyond
mistake that the inevitable shadow was
drawing nearer. Every day now some
did a piece of work for him and pu it on
the éanded plank to dry so that he could
come later and go earlier. 80 when the
bell tolled, and the little coffin came out of
the lowly door, right around the corner,
there stood [00 stalwart working men
from the pottery with their 'clean clothes
on, most of whom gavo a half day’s time
for the privilege of taking part in the
simple procession, and following to its
grave that small burden of a child, which
probably not one had ever seem—Cincin-
nati News-Journal.
' m..-—
Boy Detectives.
The secret service of the United States
is made up of quite a variety of persons,
ranging in age, it may be said from the
cradle to the grave. Referring to the
composition of the service, an old secret
service detective said to a Republican rt-
porter last evening, “We make very good
use of boy detectives. A large number of
them areemployed and where we find a
shrewd, smart lad, with a still tongue, he
is of incalcu‘lable value in ‘spotti'ng’ and
tracing makers and utterers of bogus
money.
“How do you generally use boys ?” ask-
ed a reporter. -
“In a number of ways. You see a crook
would hardly suspect a boy, and if we are
watching certain premises, the boy detcc-
tive could engage other boys in a game of
marbles directly in front'of the premises
under surveilanceand watch all day if
necessary.”
"Oh, yes," he concluded, “boys are
great factors-in the secretservice and they
are paid well and given every opportunity
to advance.~— Washington Republican.

a... Watch Cases me Made.
It is a fact. not generally known that the
James Boss’ Gold Watch Cases really con-
tain more. pure gold than many “soli "
goldcases The demandifor these watch~
cases has led to the manufacture of a very
poor grade of‘solid gold watch cases-—
low in quality, and deficient in quantity-
These cases are made from 4% to 10 karats,
and a 5 or 6 karat case is often sold for 12
or 14 karate. It is N01: economy to buy a.
watch case so poor in quality that it. will
soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will
lose its shape and ‘fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that a slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
It IS economy to buy a. James 3033’ Gold
Watch also, in‘ which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not'au experi-
ment—it has been made nearly thirty years.
mzurox. PL. Oct. 24. 1882.
I sold two James Boss’ Gold Watch Cases thirty
years ago, when they first came out, and the are in
good condition yet. One of them is can-i by a.
cauienter, Mr. L. W. Drake, of Hazleton. and only

Concernlng this Popular beverage
Two men express their mlndn.
“The fact is sir, and you may stick a pin
there, that the people of this country nrelikc.
ly to bc drowned .rn a flood of lager beer,”
shouted an enthusiastic teetotaler the other
day into the car of your cornered correspod
out. "That German drink has struck as hard.
It is a second deluge."
“Yes, the worst of this beer drinking busi
ness is that itgcts up kidney troubles,asa
heavy wind raises the waves.” added a citv
physician. who had a knowledge of the times
and a tendency to metaphor. “The midnight
'sehooucr’ leaves behind ita wake of furred
tongues. headaches, torpiil livers, nausea, and
all that, and lays the foundation of Bright’s
Disease.” This melancholy fact accounts in
part for the increasing sales of lllcNSON’S

Farm and Garden Notes.
Buttermilk, with a little meal added» is
excellent for fattening pigs. For calves
it should be mixed with oatmeal. It
should not, however, be given to very '
young calves.
For the same weight of dry food sheep
will produce nearly twice as much manure
as pigs, The greater consumption of food
by the pig counterbalances its lower rate
of manure production.-
Mulch your newly planted fruit trees.
It keeps down weeds, and by holding the
moisture will prevent injury from drought
Straw. of course, makes the best mulch.
Coarse bay, leaves and sawdust are all
good.
The fat on a cow known to be a large
and rich milker will mostly go into the
cream pot during the season. It is never
safe to buy a milk cow in poor condition,
as she will require heavy feeding, or make
poor thin milk.
Cut grass when in bloom, and it will
make more nutritive hay than if out later.
The amount of water has diminished, and
therefore shrinkage will be less. In late-
cut boy the increased fiber makes it more
indigestible.
As soon as onions show signs of maggot
work, pull the affected ones by the roots
and carry them from the field. Children
can do this work, and many onions can
thus be saved, as no worm can destroy
more than a single onion.
Cut grass or clover for the hogs that are
confined. Parsley a very succulent w’e'éd,
is greedily devoured (by them. Green
food keeps them healthy and makes them
fatten faster. A diet solely of corn is too
heating and predisposes them to disease.
Professor E. W. Stewart, in his recent
useful book, celebrates the cow as “the
most remarable producer among animals.”
She gives at her bt-st nearly seven times
her own wligbt per annum in milk, of
food value twice as great as the beef crea-
ture of equal size gains during the same
time. '
When cows take a fancy to eat wood,
lick earth or chew bones it is an indica'
tion that they are suffering from indiges
tion. Give each cow a pint of linseed oil
or a pound of melted lard, and after that
bran slop for a few days, and they will
probably leave of! eating wood and other
rubbish.
Young poultry should not be plucked
too soon after killing. If feathers are
pulled out while the blood is still fluid the
vesicles at root of each feather become en
gorged and the skin spotted. Don’t feed
before killing ; the carcass of a chicken
killed while digestion is going on will
keep but a short time.
. The London Agricultural Gazette thinks
that ensilageris not only the saving from
destruction pf what would otherwise be
watted for want of sunshine, but also it
is the result of converting, by judicious-
ly controlled fermentation, coarse proven-
der inlo appetizing, wholesome and pro-
ductive food.
As seen as the early crop of potatoes has
been harvested you may plant sunflowers
Put the seeds in twelve inches apart each
way, and when they are a foot high earth
them up,aud they will need no further care.
If you keep bees the blossoms will be very
valuable, while the seeds are excellent for
poultry, and are in demand for making
toilet soap.
If properly constructtd the hand wheel—
hoc is, the Massachusetts Plowman thinks,
the of the most important implements for
a small farm. In garden or field more
ground can be gone over with in one hour
than in six with a common hoe, and the
work can be done much better if the weeds
are small, as they always should be.
A pcultcrer in England says that when
cor-n rose to a high price he left off feeding
it to his hens and took barley. At this
time they were laying largely and doing
well, but as soon as put on the barley their
eggs rapidly decreased in numbers, and
after a short time the hens ceased laying
entirely. He then commenced again to
feed corn, soon after which the hens be-
gan laying again.
A correspondent of the Country Gentle-
man states that the easiest and best remedy
for gapes in chickan is caustic lime, either
air or water-slakcd. It should be dry and
powdered.— Takc thechickcn in the left
hand and open the mouth, keeping it up-
right, and then drop a pinch of dry lime
into it. Held in this position a few sec—
oads until it is obliged to breath, when it
will inhale some of the lime; then let it
go. One application of the lime in this
manner has cured, in my experience,
every case of gapes, some of them in the
last stages. After trying a number of rem
edies, I find this the best of all, as it is
simple and sure, and does not injure the
chicken. The lime kills worms.
W“Pick Me Up and Turn Me
Over”
A laughable incident occurred on Fif-
teenth street, opposite the Treasury dc- ‘
partmcnt, yesterday afternoon. A small,
dark-lined urchin passed down that thor-
oughfare distributing hundbills to passers
by. The bills were headed with the in-
scription, “Pick me up and turn me over,”
in large poster type. Another urchin of a
mischievous turn of mind who had re-
ceived one of the dodgers, cut off the up-
per portion and dexterously pinned it to
the bustle of a passing and pretty girl.
'The eyes of a score of men were instantly
upon the sign “Pick me up and turn me
over,”hnd as the labeled girl switched 011’
down the street, with an air of “where ig-
norance is bliss," a hearty laugh rent the
air.
