Robert WOIIld soon be 7 years old and Capt. d’EperYRI, a widowor after two years' married life, and a man who had seen 'mucb hard. service, had come to the conclusion that the short time he was able to devotel . . _ "forgive me if I cause you pain,and be- to his boy’s education “ms no longer sufficient. _ It was necessary now to have a. governs ess to continue the cultivation of his young intelligence till he should be ready .; ' come to us.” and strong enough t . go to a. boarding school. ’ D’Eperval had written to his old aunt, the Marchioness of Chumperel, who had Written in reply: “My Dear Nephew—The introduction of a governess into one’s establishment is always a delicate matter, especially in your case, who are living practically as a bachelor. “I send you two persons who have been very highly recommended to me— Mlle. Jeanne Ozy and Mlle. Virginie Brochard. “One of the two, it seems. is pretty old, but I forget which, for I have mixed up the information that was gchn me about them. However, you may choose, and Providence, I am sure, will guide you in your selection. I embrace you. Your affectionate aunt. “B155m:-(,1u.\MrnnnL." And the Captain. as so..n as he returned from the nmneuvrvs, had written in all. haste to the two .‘nilll'k‘nfit‘s llililCllb'Jd. HG had just come in from a drill and was preparing to take off his uniform when his orderly informed llllll with a smile full of mystcrytlnli a young lady, Jeanne Ozy, wished to speak wil h him. “Good,” thought the Captain, “it is the gOVerness, the young one or the old one, I don’t know u ixich, but at any rate, some ugly creature with a worn-out dress, faded black gloves and eyeglasses over her nose.” He hurriedly pulled on his tunic again and went down into the drawing room. A young girl of about 2-l years of age was sitting on a chair, very simply dressed but very correctly in her blue shirt, with her pretty bonnet perched upon a. pile of golden hair on the top of her head. She was pnlennd very gentle in appear- ance, her face. as if i:.ur.lin;-lt.cd by two wonderful eyes of a (ll-op sun. green with lids that seemed to pulpllate on her cheeks when she (lroppe -. nv-r eyelashes. “Mademoiselle .lca..:.c Day. i believe, sent by the Marchioncss us" Champerel?” “Oui, Monsieur.” “Be seated, pray, and let us have a. chat.

But the child is very docile and obedient and is of a gentle disposition, which will make teaching him easier. \tht hours can you give him?” “On! mousicur, whatever you wish. Choose those that will be most convenient for you.” “Do you not give any other lessons?” asked the Captain with surprise. “Oh, yes, monsleur—that is to say—— no,” replied the young girl with a little embarrassment. “I had three other pu- pils, but they have just gone to school, and for the time being I am a little hard pressed. My mother is very old and ac- customed to a certain degree of comfort, of which I do not wish she should be de- prived. She has only myself to depend upon. In a. word, I shall not be very ex- acting.” “Mademoiselle,” cried d’Epeval with impulse, “so far as the question of money is concerned there will be no difficulty between us.” He pronounced this sentence in an eager voice, and he was himself surprised at the warmth that he had put into it. It was as if he had unconsciously made her an offer of service, affection and de- votion. To escape from this feeling, which rose up in a confused sort of manner in his breast, he said more brusquely: “You had better see Robert, and make the acquaintance of your pupil.” He rang the bell, and the child aps pear-ed with his nurse. He was averituble Valasquez, with his curly light hair falling ovor a black velvet coat, topped with a Louis XIII. collar and old lace. At the door little Robert stopped, as if fascinated, smiling, amazed at what he saw before him. Then, clapping his hands together, he cried out: “Oh, papa, papa, wnat lovely eyes she has! Do you see what lovely eyes they are!” And spontaneously be rushed up to her and offered his lips to IM‘I' to kiss, while she to conceal her trouble, bid her face in the child’s gillllcll hair. There was a silence broken only by the sound of papers and copy hooks tnnt Jeann: my turned over tons-certain what her pm. could do. A sense of awkwardness seemed to have arisen beLchn the two. Wnilc the one examined the strokes and lluuiushcs of the Copy book sentences, the other came to the conclusion that the young girl pleased him very much, indeed— much more, in fact, than should have been the case. Although not yet 40 years of age the Captain had already turned his house in- to a. sort of cloister. No women, other than those of his own family, had ever crossed his threshold. Never had he re- ceived any one in his rooms but his own well-chosen friends, for he wished his boy to grow up among the very best surrounc- ings. And now, suddenly, the change of life compelled him to introduce into ‘his house a woman, young, seductive and in- disputably attractive. Obviously, from the fact alone that she would be cuargcd with the education of Robert, she would be sacred to him. But would he be able to conquer and control those beatings of his poor heart, a. heart cliastened by sorrow, but still young, ardent, and sending hot, passionate blood through his veins? What would become of him in the daily meetings with her, in the conversations that would be necessary with her to as- certain the progress his son was making? In the frequent tete—a—tetes side by side, and at the same table day after day? Was not his severe room, with the pic- ture of his dead wife above the sofa, already illuminated, as it were, by this radiant apparition that seemed to spread around it an intoxicating odor of youth and freshness like a perfume of love it. self! uy the Gszn'r'ri‘ The Captain foresaw the danger, and, as the governess raised her head after hav‘ ing examined the exercise books, their glances met, and d’Eprrval looked into her big eyes—those deep green eyes that had pleased the child sc—as into a vast abyss in which he might founder with his duty and his conscience. “Mademoiselle,” he said, brusquely. lieve me there is nothing in my words that is meant to wound or to insult you. I am in despair. Nevertheless, after reflection. I see that it is quite impossible for you to The governess stared at him with as- tonishment, nta. loss to understand this sudden change. But d’Eperval continued with an eflort and in an altered voice: “Listen to me well. If there were an- other Woman here, a mother, I would say to you with genuine pleasure: ‘Come and live in our house; take my sonl’ But Iam a widower and live here all alone, and am compelled to an exaggerated sev‘ erity of life. I am persuaded that you could bring up Robert to my utmost sat- isfaction, but you are not old enough, and you have not .the external appearance which would be suitable, at any rate, for my owu house.” The young girl had risen. She was paler even than when she came in. She kissed the' boy once more. He clung to her blue skirt and tried to hold her by the strength of his little hands. But she bowed gravely and withdrew without a word, without a single gesture, without a complaint. This had already happened to her sev- eral times before! Only when she was on the stairs and the door had closed behind her with a dull, heavy sound, she began to cry. “And now,” said Captain d’Eperval, on whose forehead stood great drops of perspiration, “and now to write to the other one, the old one!”—-’l‘ranslated from the French. WATSON SUGGESTS DUCKING. He “’ould Have Cruel Husbands Soused for Punishment. Judge “'atson of Brooklyn who recent- ly suspended sentence in the case of a cruel husband so long as he attended prayer meetings with his wife. recently had another case of a wife beater before him. Anton Tahner of 166 McKibben street nodded when the judge asked him if he hit his wife. “You are candid,” remarked the magis- trate. "Do you hit her often ?” Tahner nodded and smiled. “That is a very expressive nod of yours,” said the judge. “He did..'; hit me hard,” said Mrs. Tahner. “There it is,” said the judge. “The same old, old story. The wife sides with the husband as soon as it begins to look bad for him. I wonder if they have got that cuge handy that they drown dogs in. The sheriff ought to put you fellows in it and take you down to the foot of South Sixth street and duck you in about three times. it would be a good thing until the whipping post is established, for if ever I go to the Legislature I’ll intro« duce a bill providing for a whipping post for wife heaters. I’d like to send you to jail, ’l‘ahncr, but if I did your wife would haunt my house until I let you out. I’ll take chances, however, and send you down until next week, when we’ll settle your case finally.” The Turning Down of I’efl'er. A heart bowed down with weight of woe was Senator Peffer the other day. Through the tangled luxhriance of his whiskers swept a mournful wind; his noble brow was knit and wrinkled with the rough ridges which mark the trou‘ bled soul, and even Marius, admid the ruins of Carthage, could not have con~ templated a ruin more profound than that upoh which the Senator from Kansas was forced to gaze. Upon the clerk’s desk lay a. pile of bills. With a ruthless hand they had been de- posited there by Senator Morrill of Vere mont with the remark that the Finance Committee reported them all adversely and recommended their indefinite post— ponement. At one fell swoop the noble monument of white paper which Mr. Peifer had erected at great expense to the Govern‘ ment and much labor at the printing office for the amelioration of all mankind and the angelic host besides was shatter- ed. Bilis, which would, if they had pas- sed, have added the little mite of $92,000 000,000 to the circulation of the country were sentenced to a legislative tomb as cold and deathly as that in which the fair Juliet died by the side of Romeo—— Washington Post.

Scott used to say, when talking of his Work, that he often wished he could cease thinking, just to see whether his pen would not finish the page of itself. The great French romuncer's clwncity for continuous labor was even more ex- traordinary. To him, indeed, as perhaps to all such men, work was a refuge from all the ills of life. For forty years he suffered from some internal disease which, when it was upon him, made it impossible for him to sleep. Youth’s Cempanion.

A Le!- son’in Etiquette by Coke of Texas to Higgins Poses \Vitli a Chip on Each Shoulder. Some of His Constuuency. In the list of tim- l‘uclve who will be , Senators no longer when the gavel of Vice-President Steveashn falls on March 4 next, there is om.- who has been a pic- turesque and striking fi rum in the Senate for more than 22 years. This is Senator Matt W. Ransom of North Carolina, who took his seat April 24, 1573, and has re- mained on duty ever SillCl‘. Mr. Ransom is one of the handsome men of the Senate, and at times an eloquent speaker. He was one of the COXlSp-Clllllls Generals of the Confederate army, and came. to Wash- ington with the reputation of a man of ability, honor and chivalry. One day last autumn, during the crisis in the Senate struggle over the Silver Repeal bill,a. 'eporter approached Gen. Ransom as he paced the lobby, his hands behind his back and his head htflved, and said: “Senator, what will be the outcome of the fight?” Drawing his caller aside, Gen. Ransom said with great solemnity: “My friend, I cannot tell you now, but you may sayto the country that we are thinking—deeply thinking.” It wasa sad day for the North Carolina Senator when the investigation into the connection of Senators with the Sugar Trust speculation developed the fact that his son had been purchasing the stock. The testimony showed that young Mr. Ransom had simply bought a. certificate or two on his own responsibility, and without the consent or knowledge of his father. The transaction was in every way legitimate and proper, but Gen. Ransom felt keenly the notoriety it caused. But in his hour of trial his native shrewdness did not desert him. and by a clever move he managed to outwit those who attacked him and break the force of the prear- ranged newspaper sensation. A few days before the fact that young Mr. Ransom wad purchased sugar stock was brought .0 light, a correspondent of a newspaper called upon the Senator, having in his possession the fact that a Mr. Ransom had bought sugar stock. This knowledge had been obtained by the expenditure of considerable time and money and the employment of the services of adetective or two. The interviewer was accompanied by a stenographer. As soon as his visitors had departed, however, Gen. Ransom hastened to the room of the Senatorial [nvestigating Committee, had himself sworn as a witness, and testified to every- thing he had told the newspaper man. An abstract of his testimony was pub- .ished the following morning, and the .lewspaper was thus prevented from pro- lucing its anticipated sensation. A very same article was published instead. When it appeared, Senator Ransom met .he man who had interviewed him, in .he elevator, and going up to him, and nolding out his hand, he said, with all that impressiveness and grace for which us was noted: “My dear friend, permit me, sah, to thank you for the extreme courtesy, sah, with which you and your papah have .reated me in this mattah. Iam under leep obligations for your kindness, sah.” Mr. Ransom’s lack of wealth and the generosity of his heart were both shown by an incident that happened one day several years ago. , He walked into the Senate Post Ofiice one morning, and holding up a ragged shirt cuff before he eyes of the Assistant Postmaster, he arid: L “Kellog, won’t you please trim 03 the edges of my cuff?” and as the official did <0 the Senator said partly to himself: ‘Ahi me, these poor North Carolinians who find their way to Washington look. .ng for office and without money will drive me to the poorhouse yet.” One of the picturesque landmarks of the Senate chamber who will be seen there no more after March 4 is Richard Coke of Texas, the big-limbed, big-heads ed, hairy giant who in 1877 succeeded M. C. Hamilton, the only Republican who ever got into the United States Senate from the State of Texas. Mr. Coke is one of that colony of Southern statesmen who live at the Metropolitan Hotel. the great Southern headquarters in \Vash— ington, and who has never become recon- ciled to the ways of modern civilization ll' political reconstruction. The bearded man was in his room at the Metropolitan Hotel one morning: in undress uniform, and engaged in the not slight task of shaving his upper lip. Some Texans who had come to town on public business, following the custom of their section, walked up stairs without being announced, rapped on the door of the Senator’s room and walked in. The old man was furious. He turned around with his face covered with lather, the razor in his hand, and his eyes flashing flu, and, drawing himself up to his six .r sown feet without his stockings, he said to his astonished friends: “Don’t you know that in Washington it is not polite to enter a. man’s room without asking permission. I have lived here long enough to learn that, if you have not. You will all please go down to the office and send up your cards in the regular way, like gentlemen.” The crestfallen Texans withdrew and sent up a servant with the written card of each of them. A moment later the 'nrvant returned and paralyzed the callers oy the announcement: “Senator Coke is not in.” Some of the Senators who are being op- posed, but who are all apt to win in the legislature fights, are Manderson of Ne- braska, one of the most popular men who ever sat in the Senate, and whose abili- ties as an orator and legislator are above the average; Chandler-.01": New Hampshire whose persistent activity and biting sar- casm keep his Democratic colleagues in a state of constant butl‘ruitless indigna- tion;Patton of Michigan, who shocked the tradition of the Senate by deliVering his maiden speech .a few weeks after tak- ing seat, and is opposed for reelection by ”several ambitious Michigauders, includ- ing Julius Caesar Burrows, “the Calliope of Kalamazoo,” as he is sometimes irrev- crently called; Perkins of California, who made his bow as a debater with even less timidity than Patton; Cullom, of Illinois who has long maintained a prominent place in politics, chiefly, his enemies say, on the strength of ‘his supposed rosem- blance to Abraham Lincoln, and Higgins of Delaware,whose seat Addicks, the Gas Man, is trying to seize. Higgins is one of the brightest men on the Republican side of the chamber, and when he gets up to speak, as he frequently does, he suggests to everybody the typical Irish- man with a chip on each shoulder just spoiling for a fight.
