Proposed Change in Congressional District. Owing to the falling off in popula tion in the North Tier counties, Fried Newell figures it out In his Canton Sentinel that there should be and probably will a change in the political map. Brother Newell forms a now congressional district to be composed of the counties of Susquehanna, Bradford, Wyoming. Sullivan, Lycoming and Tioga. The total population of the al>ove named counties is 241,000 and un der the new apportionment the number of people necessary to l>e entitled to a congressman is 240,000 so it is plain to Iks seen that Broth er Newell is not far out of the way in his reckoning. The present Fourteenth Congressional district of which this county is a part has a population of 137,000 is over UK),000 under the required number. If this chauge is made what in the world will become of all the candidates for the office which Hon. G. W. Kipp on Nov. 8, was elected to fill for two years. Ly coming County will make the first bid for the office without doubt. At any rate there is much food for thought, in the probable change. Towanda Review. No Paper Next Week.

THE YOUNG MAN FROM WYOMING AT EAGLES MERE. A SULLIVAN COUNTY NOVELETTE. BY THOMAS J. INGHAM. CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE. "Pardon me, Mrs. Belois, for taking so much of your time in relating my own affairs. You asked my age. I have now given you the data—perhaps you can compute it. "Ask no pardon, Doctor—l must still call you doctor, said Mrs. Belois. "I thank you sincerely for giving me your confidence. I do not care to compute your age. I can sec that you are still the 'young man of Wyoming.' It was ill manners in me to ask your age." "I am glad you asked, for it gave me an excuse to tell you what I desired to have you know," returned Mr. Lcssing harn. "What you tol dme," replied Mrs. Belois, "is wonderful; I should say incredible, if you had not made the reasons clear. You have made a discovery of inestimable value to the human race, of immortal honor to yourself. Why do you keep it secret ?'' "I expected that inquiry," said Lessingham, "for it is a subject upon which I have doubted and hesitated. My rea sons are possibly too selfish, and yet they bear upon the final success of my problem. I wish to prolong my life for many years yet. I wish to remain a man among men. I do not wish to become a white elephant—stared at wherever I go—pointed out as the Methuselah of the age. Such notoriety would iso late me in society. My consciousness of such thoughts in my associates would affect my own feelings and make me grow old in the way I can least control—in my thoughts and feel ings. I can only keep the freshness of youth in my mind by mingling with the youthful, and enjoying with tliem their youthful amusements. How could 1 do that if every youth and maiden I met with were whispering, 'He is more than a hundred years old.' You sec it is what you would call the honor of the discovery that I most dread." "I appreciate your reasons," answered Mrs. Belois. "I already feel alarmed lest your age should be discovered even here. What a buzz it would make! Why, all the strange ladies would be looking out of the corners of their eyes at such a curiosity, and Mrs. Wetherhead would not hesitate to look at you through her opera glasses to see if she could not spy wrinkles." "It relieves me," replied Lessingham, "to find that you justify my conduct in this respect. 1 have another reason for not publishing my discovery. 1 should be attacked in various forms by dabblers in science—doctors and others. I should meet with misrepresentations and suffer under ridicule. Some salient point of my labors would be seized upon by witty newspaper scribblers, and their lively jokes would go the rounds of the press. "To add to the solid knowledge of mankind is doubtless a good thing, and the honor of so doing is fine in theory, but experience proves that the teachers often suffer the most, and the honor becomes a crown of thorns. Darwin's labors in the fields of science were immense, and of permanent value, but the newspaper wits have associated him with monkeys, and the average reader hardly stops to think whether he was a man or a monkey." "I perceive you do not court fame," said Mrs. Belois, "and I can sec its stings may exceed its sweets; but, Doctor, couldn't you publish it anonymously?" "I have thought of that too," Lessingham replied, "but in that case I should set a system atloat, to be taken up by quacks and pretenders. Th<> newspapers would be looded with advertisements of chemical blood doctors, and streams of blood would flow from credulous veins, to be conjured over, and medicines poured out by ignorance, to the injury of the patient, and bringing my system into contempt." "You seem to have considered it well," said Airs. Belois, "but, Doctor, can't you think of any way to give suffering humanity the benefit of your discovery without further de lay ?'' "As to that, I must say that 1 am not sure that mankind are prepared for a system which imposes persistent attention at all times, inflexible self-control, and occasional self-denials. It is certain they do not avail themselves of the well-known methods of prolonging life: methods which, as you have seen, 1 constantly practice as a part of my system. Until they learn to practice what they know it is of little avail to teach them more." "I have no doubt you are right. Doctor," said Mrs. Be lois; "at all events, it would be presumption in me to ques tion the correctness of your views on a subject you have so thoroughly studied. May I ask you one more impertinent question?" "You may ask me any questions you please," returned Lessingham, "and I will not consider them impertinent." "Well, then, Doctor, how did it happen you never got married? You must have been acquainted with hundreds of beautiful ladies in New York." "Very true, Mrs. Belois, I have known many handsome ladies there, but I never did fall in love with ony one of them. If you ask me why, 1 answer I cannot tell. You have seen many fine looking men. Can you tell me why you have not fallen in love with some one of them?" Mrs. Belois blushed more than the question would seem to render necessary, but she answered: "No, I cannot tell. 1 have met many handsome men and good men that I could not love if I tried." "I need not give any other answer to your question," said Mr. Lessingham, "but I may add that I have fallen in love at last." The blushes on the beautiful face of Mrs. Belois became like roses, as she replied, banteringly: "Really? Fallen in love at last, Doctor! You quite sur prise me." "You do not ask the name of the lady," said Lessing ham. "No," answered Mrs. Belois, "I have been pretty free, but I haven't so far forgotten what is proper as to ask a gen tleman to tell me what lady he has fallen in love with." "Mrs. Belois," said Lessingham, in a low and slightly tremulous tone, "I will not plav with words on such a sub ject. I will tell you the truth plainly. 1 love you. I love you dearly. I ask you to become my wife." Mrs. Belois looked downward a few moments, as if hesi tating for fitting words to express her answer, then raising her eyes,which beamed tenderness upon him,answered quietlv, "/ wII." At the time their conversation reached this point the steamboat, loaded with passengers, was passing near them. . Lessingham, glancing at the passengers, and then looking ex pressively at Mrs. Belois, said: "It is a happy moment when a happy conclusion is reached, but circumstances do not favor the typical seal to our engagement."
