Advertisers Kill please make a note of I A is ES-..1 - - - - - My 11 iff's Xcw Friend. Mrs. Jones has quite *a habit cf cultivating new friendships, which have every appearance of blooming eternally, but which soon whither in the world's cold blasts. I used to think this characteristic was confin ed to school-girls, who swear im mortal fidelity in letters crossed and recrosscd, but forget each other as tocn us they have caught a lover. "p MyHWS liter "acquisition in the way of a bosom fiiend is Mrs. Mor timer Mowbray, with whom she be came acquainted last summer, while we were boarding out of town. Mrs. Moitimer Mowbray Lad her carriage with her, and created quite u sensation—in fact, every lady in the house was eager to become her confidante ; but the amiable deport ment of Mis. Jones, combined, I doubt not, with her intellectual ac complishments, rendered her the avorite, and she it was who daily cceuiied the spare seat in the coach, and had the honor of advising Mrs. Mortimer Mowbray in those thou sand grave .perplexities under which women suffer. We returned to the city after the Mowbrays ; but my wife, though usually very firm on qutstions of etiquette, waived her privileges on this occasion, and made the first eall. She was graciously received, and came home in high spirits. All that evening she could do nothing but talk of Mrs. Mortimer Mow bray. "Such an elegant establish ment," she said. "A footman, with manners like a prince, waited at the door. The drawing-room was the perfection of luxury and tiiste. Mrs. Mowbray had on such a sweet cap, and altogether looked so lady-like. Her manners were, indeed, most aristrocratic, just what those of a Countess are suppos ed to be." In a few days Mrs. Mortimer Mowbray returned my wife's call, coming in a shining new carriage, and with a new span of horses. Her equipage created quite a sensation iu our street, Mrs. Jones, soon after this, began to act as if brooding over some vast design, which cot being matured, she deemed it wisest to be silent re specting. At last the mighty secret wits broached. "I was thinking, Jones," she said, one night, just as 1 was composing myself to sleep on my pillow, "tfca 1 we ought to give a party. Nut a regular bul l , indeed, but a select en tertainment, wnere a few congenial minds may be brought together. I should like to introduce my dear Mrs. Mowbray to some of the choic est of our set." Now, I detest parties, small or iarge ; but, as the delicacy of my wife's nerves does not allow of her being thwarted, I made no objec tion to the proposal though I sighed to myself. "Of course, my dear," I .said, "You know best'' "Well, about thirty," continued my wife, warming with the suject. "There's Mrs. Wharton, and Mrs. Horace Sl.iun, and Mrs. Prii.ce, and the Misses Trelawney," and thus the dear creature ran on, until she had mentioned about forty names, and l3a.v that her "select party of congenial souls" was going to be af ter all, a crowded route. -•"You have forgotten the two Misses How* 11," I said at last, when my wife stopped for waut of breath. The two Misses Howell were ami able, intelligent, and pretty girls, ia whpm I took particular interest, because their father had once been an extensive shipping merchant, but, having become reduced and died bankrupt, the sisters were obliged to earn a livelihood by stand ing in a store. They had numerous rich relations on whom they might have billeted themselves, but with a spirit of proper independence, they preferred to work for their main tenance instead of eating the bread of charity. I had long nourished a romantie idea of seeing them mar ried well, and had consequently made it a point always to invite them to our parties ; to praise them highly to the young gentlemen there, and, in every other indirect way, to asaist in realizing my pet scheme. My wife, heretofore, had seconded me in my benevolent plan ; but on the present occasion she hesitated to reply and I knew at once there was .temcjlii g the matter. "Alcm P* she said at last, cloar ing her thrpat. "Ahem 1 The Misses Howell arc very nice girls, to be sure—that is, in their places— but as it is to bo a select party, and as I have already mentioned rather too many, and as Mrs- Mowbray may not want to meet all sorts of people, and as"— "Stop, my dear," said I, with a si?h, for I saw that my favorites were not to be invited, "you have given good reasons enough. It is a great pity though." And I sighed again—a sigh eloquent of passive resignation. My wife heard my sighs, and her tender heart was touched. She paused a moment in embarrassment, and perhaps even revolved the idea of yielding to my wishes ; but iu the end she raised herself on her el bow, and said : "Mr. Jones, do listen to reason. You don't know how foolish you make yourself about those Howell girls. They've t>een unfortunate to be sure, and they're very passable, indeed ; but there's a prejudice, you aro aware, against girls who stand in stores ; and who knows but Mrs. Mowbray would take offence at my inviting such persons to meet her. 1 should i like to do it, indeed, with out .first asking her ; and I can't do that this time. She is very particu lar, and so excessively high-bred." "Then I don't think she'd regard you the less, my dear," I ventured to say, "for being acquainted with two such excellent girls as Patty and Lizzy Ilowell." "Mr. Jones, dcu't be a child," re plied my wife, flinging herself to the ether side of the bed. "At your age you should know something of the world. Exclusive people, like Mrs. Mowbray, don't care to meet no bodies. Sl:© was very choice, as you saw, whom she admitted to her ac quaintance this summer ; I may say, indeed, that lam the onl' one, of all she met, whom she recognizes now." To have protracted the conversa tion would have excited my wife's nerves and deprived her of sleep, so I said no more, but closed my 'eyes aud courted slumber anew. I have no recollection of anything after that till I woke up next morning, and leaving Mrs. Jones abed, as us- Uid, went down to see that the fires were all right and to do the market ing while breakfast was being pre pared. The invitations to the party were issued that week, Mrs. Mowbray graciously promising to attend. When the important evening ar rived my wife was all nerves. At every ring of the bell, the color rose to her Tace with expectation, but guest after guest entered withrut Mrs. Mowbray appearing. Her nervousness soon began to change to anxiety, and this, as the hours wore on, to disappointment and dis may. She delayed the supper for a full hour, thinking that, the new friend might yet arrive, but in vain. "What can the matter be ?" sbe said to me, as soon as we were alone. -"I hope the dear baby is w ell. Per haps however. Mrs. Mowbray is herself sick. Dear me, lam afraid I shall not sleep for anxiety. The first thing I'll do to-morrow will to call on Mrs. Mowbray and see what is the matter."* "Wouldn't that be against eti quette ?" I ventured to ask. "It seems to me that Mrs. Mowbray should send you a note cr a message, or something of that sort, to apolo gise for her absence-" Mrs. Jones did not reply in words but she give me a look. And such a Jook ! It expressed a3l the indig nation which her outraged bosom felt at having the slightest suspi cion cast upon her friend. When I came home to dinner that day I saw at a glance that some* thing had occurred to rnfHo my wife's nerves. She had nothing whatever to say to me, but shescold ed the servants and childien inces santly. I was too wise to inquire what was wrong. I knew that Mrs. Jones, if she thought proper, would tell me ; and if not, that idle ques tions would only aggravate her se cret troubles. But the next day, having heard something that cast light on Mrs. Mowbray's absence from our party. I could not contain myself when I came home. ' Did you ever hear, my love," said I as I began to carve the turkey at diuner, "that the Misses Howell had a married sister ?" Mrs. Jonos looked sharply up, as if she suspected I meant more than I said, and then answered laconically: "I heard it casually, but never asked further." "It seems," I continued, "that Mrs. Mowbray i 3 that 3ister." "I've heard so eince," said Mrs. Jones, sharply ; and turning to our second child, who was asking for the wing-bone, rapped him over the head, exelaiming, "Haven't I told you to wait till you're helped ? Take that, now, and learn manners." I allowed a minute or more to elapse, in order that my wife's ebullition might" subside, when I remarked "Mrs. Mowbray, it seems, expect ed to meet her si3leis here. 1 ' "I shouldn't wondor if she did,'' snappishly said Mrs. Jones, looking down into her plate, and apparently absorbed In parting a wing joint. "When she found," I continued, "that her sisters wore not asked, she grew indignant. She heard the reason, it seems. Your triead Mrs. Wharton, whom you have made a confidante, told some hul>, who told her ; and hence her anger.*" "I'm suro I don't care if I never see the proud thing again," said my wife, reddening very much, but stiil without looking up. "One would not have supposed that she was a sister to the Misses lfowell." After another pause passed I said : "Did you call on Airs. Mowbr.ny, as vou intended ?" Mrs, Jones was silent for a fall minute, and seemed half disposed to decline answering altogether ; but finally she blurted out her reply as follows : "Yes, I did, since you must know. She was not at home—so, at least the footman said, but if 1 didn't see her at the drawing-room window," and here she burst into tears of mor tification and rage, "may 1 never eat another mouthful." I saw that it would not do to con tinue tho conversation ; so I quiet ly ate my dinner, kissed the child ren and went my way. Of course the intimacy of my wife with Mrs. Mowbray ceased from that fatal party ; and I am sorry to say that the Aliases Howell have, as the phrase goes, "cat our acquaintance." THE LOUSIAM VILLAINY, GOVERNMENT MONEY I'SKD TO iIAKE A FRAUDULENT PRESIDENT That $30,000 Borrowed of an In ternal Revenue Collector with John Sherman's Khowladgpand Consent—Facts that can bo Proved. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—The 20,- 000 whioh Win. Pitt Kellogg is be ing pressed to pay to the Union Na tional Bank of Chicago was part of the money paid and agreed to be paid by the visiting statesmen to se cure the couuting of the electoral votes of Louisiana for Hayes. It had to be raised quickly. They did not dare to telegraph for it, and they could cot draw for it through a New Orleans bank. The emergency was a pressing oue, and the mails were too slow. It was the eleventh hour. The Returning board, after reject ing every poll in various parishes, against which any evidence could be trumped up, after throwing out all the parishes which could with any colorable pretext be claimed to be bulldozed, found that there were three Hayes electors who lacked be tween seven and nine hundred votes of hiding a majority over their Democratic competitor?. Some thing had to be done immediately. One member of the Returning ( Board refused to go any further in this daugerous business unless more money was forthcoming. lie de manded ca3h down as an earnest of the future. In this dilemma the visiting statesmen went to Kellogg, and said they mu3t have $20,000 forthwith. He protested that he hadn't that much money. They said '.e must raise it, and they would see that he was reimbursed. lie bor rowed the amount from the Collect or of Internal Revenue, and the balking member of the Returning Board was paid $O,OOO. The count ing out and counting in went on un til the job was done. John Sherman and his fel'ow conspirators knew that the money came from the Col ! lector of Internal Revenue, and that it was the money of the United States. They knew it was to bribe a member of the Returning Board. The money was not repaid to the Collector of Internal Revenue until nearly eight months afterward. He could not settle his accounts with out it, and he demanded it from Kellogg. John Sherman had not kept his pledge that it should De re imbursed to Kellogg. It was his intention to squeeze it out of Kel logg. who wanted his seat in the Senate, and could not afford to let the truth be known becauso it would certaiuly destroy his chances of get ting into the Senate, Accordingly Kellogg had to borrow $20,000 of the Union National Bank of Chica go, and C. B. Farwcll became his surety. Kellogg got his seat in the Senate, but he does not think it is fair that $20,000 of his $30,000 sal ary for six years should be eaten up in thi3 way, while Hayes does not contribute one penny of his $200,000. To bring this matter to a square issue, I propose to prove in any court of justice or before an investi gating committee of either House of Congress : First, that Kellogg has repeatedly said that $20,000 was borrowed of the Collector of Inter nal Revenue in New Orleans ; se cond, that he borrowed it at the re quest of the visiting statesmen ; third, that the visiting statesmen promised him that it should be made good ; fourth, that it was this mon ey winch secured the counting in of the three Hayes electors, who were still behind on the 30th of Novem ber ; and fifth, that Kellogg repeat edly said that if he did not get his seat iu the Senate he would -raise hell about tb ; s $20,000, and if it wasn't repaid to him Heyes would have to get out of tho White House.
