'•3llaa Grantliana, I have come to
fulfil my NOlllllile to you, in regard to
your interview with your lather, ('ul.
Charles aranduion."
Twn weeks had passed shire thesuc
cessful re-uninn at Markham tnarisio z n
And, in that time, Ethel Grandison Kad
discovered many socially gracious qua
hues in a man she politimilly ;
and the 'on-das' of Louisville society,
averred that Ethel tirandison 'behaved
shamefully ;• that her lather was a Con
federate, and a prisoner, and she re
ceived the attentions of the Yankees
:ust as if she had no father ! And her,
mother had only Leen dead a few
weeks! Slander is a species of elec
tricity, which flashes along the invit. l ..
hi e wires of minds and hearts, and
creates death and destruction as sure
ly as the lightening does wherever it
strikes , and social, gostuppy friends
are the vermin of the world which the
summer sun of prosperity frnetnates,
and which the winter of Adversity sel
dom if ever destroys!
Ethel Gran.loon rover ftypeareit to
be aware °I the ex iptence it her cal
uminatore. She telt a sublime con
ecioueness in her inner soul that she
was doing right, and beyond doe
notb tog affected her. And thus 1e it
with all of 08 who feel the poisoned
fang of the serpent rumen upon our
hearts—who through cauntic criti
ciernn, and contempuble Hobe:stun, and
vituperative invectiies endure our
earthly oructlixion of the sour—so is it
with us ; when we know that we are
unjustly condemned; we have no rea
fan to feel crushed when we are tur
tured, it is no just reason that we
should accept subjugation at the hands
of our enemies! And no revenge is so
sweet as to ignore their existenee f
we are right, sooner or latter our juli
titication will come! Sourer or later
the scales will fall from blinded eyq„,
and if there is truth and goodness ui
us,it will be seen
And so it Was that Colonel Corbeille
and Ethel Granthoon were 'friends,'
arid society condemned them.
And so it was that this same Colo
nel Corbei/le and this same Ethel
Grandison went on in the even tenor
of their own way, and respected each
other too much to even refer to social
ihspertznences which every beautiful
woman, or brilliant. man, are fated to
endure!
Therefore, wltin Colonel Corneille
stood with Ethel Grandison and said
the words commencing this chapter of
Tay story. Ethel felt that her reward
had been won! She would see her
father!' She would rest her weary
lead upon his breast—hear his voice,
and tell him, 0, fell him ,of all the
dark despair and desolation she had
endured at the old Monte place; tell
him of the dear sleeper . she had left
there all alone in her pence, And wis
dom of that world, of which we talk,
only as dreamers do, with uncon
scious lips. Yes, the reward was won.
She had played for that stake r—'An
interview with her father and his
prompt exchange.'
"Where is lie, Colonel Corbeille?"
she asked, clinging to hint nervously.
"In the Broadway Prison," lie re
plied, gravely.
"0, take me to him!" she plead.
"Take me to him, now."
"Iro you notdhink it would be bet
ter for you to go to the Hotel, and I
will drive to the Prison and take him
in my carriage to you/ I propose the
hotel because it would probably be
unpleasant to Mrs. Markham to have
her 110118Cand family undergo constant,
vigilant espionage while your father
might be an inmate and member there•
of," said Colonel Corbeille >with his
usual generous thoughtfulness for the
comfort of others. And be took Ethel's
hand with gentle grace, and looked
down upon her with his grate, beauti
ful blue eyes, and smiled softly, as if
his heart within was happy.
"0, no, take me to him I Every mo
mew seems an hour to toe I No, no,
I would go dall if I remained quietly
at the Hotel and knew all the while
that my father breathed tho pure air
of Heaven, and felt the sunshine's
warmth, and I not near him I No,
no, take the with you!" she plead
earnestly.
"As you choose, Miss Ethet," he re
plied, "but my advice to you is to
await him at the hotel But, after
all—it is no matter, for you will meet
sooner or later!"
"Thank you ! Then I may go?" she
said Gagerly.
"Yes, go get your bat!" he fowl,
tenderly as he would have spoken to a
beloved child.
When she left the room Colonel Cur
beille sank into a chair anti hid hie
lace in his hands. A sigh, which was
almost a groan struggled to iris lips t
It told the whole story of the Titan's
unhappiness.
"Ah, bow I love her !" Ire said, and
yet I can tell by the changeless glitter
of her eyes that her heart boll, no
tenderness or love fur me in return !
How beautiful she is! And a rebel !
How superb she is, in her deliberate
defiance! Little Tigress! /low she
could lore.' And how she does hale!
The fire smoulders; only now and
then a wild flame leaps upward I 'But
what an Egotist I am ! she tioes not

a fool I alit to think that she could

and murmured brokenly to himself.

low eyes and lips tightened across gut!,
tering teeth! Ah, death' I knew not,
until to day, that, you were so near'"
And there he stood, gazing and
shuddering like a man who saw a fear•
ful vision—a phantasm of the world
to Come, until Ethel with beaming
fare and fleet step retir e d to the par

her entrance She sinned back in dim
may as she beheld his awe struel,
countenance ; then planing her hand
upon his arm she shook him slightly
and cried out :
“Colonel Corbellle what 13 the mat
ter? Are you ill ? U, tell we what
it iethat affects you so strangely!”
With a start, and a sigh the man
returned to his consciousness of out
ward things and there stood Ethel
beside him. looking in hie face with
her great, wondering, eloquent eyes.
"What tattle matter? Are you ill
asked Ethel anxiously.
“I ant always ill, Miss Graislison ;”
he said gravely, sadly, always ill ; and
I have no hope of ever drawing a Well
breath again. But now, I gazed upon
lily Own face, and saw the ravages of
disease, and the seal of Death impress
ed upon it My Beal; seemed to shrink
Ilion my bones, as I gazed, and my
eyes sank away, and the sightless
sockets yawned and gloomed, and these
thin lips shrivelled and curled away
from their long, glittering teeth, and

Again lie shuddered, and sinking
back in a chair, bent his lace in his
hands, and remained motionless.

"it is this wound—this wound that

A Rich Speech
"SUNSET" COS ON Tilt BILL TO TAX
WOMEN'S CORSETS.
Sion Cox is one of the cleverest men
in the house, allbiet he is a Democrat.
His sallies of wit,gonuino humor, were
wont to set the "House "in a roar,"
and on no subject is he more happy
than on the tariff. lie has made some
good sl eeches in Committee of the
Whole, as well as in the House, while
that subject was under general debate.
Ihit there is one speech hitherto unde
livered which exceeds them all. When
the item relative to the tax on womaa's
corsets was up the other day, Mr. Cox
did not happen to be in his seat, and
the House missed a rich treat, which
I propose to serve up exclusively for
the reader of the Timex. Ceix had pre

Efforts to Save the Victim.
A porreepondent of the Kansas Join•.
nal says; This afternoon the citizeos
of Silver Lake were shocked by the in
telligence that a man, by the name of
Price Roberts, was partially buried in
a well out on Big •oldier. In compa
ny with Dr. Ward and others of this
place, I repaired to the scene of •disas•
ter. The circumstances are as fol
lows
Mr. Elmore Randall engaged Mr.
Roberts to dig him tv-well. When he
had sunk to the depth of twenty-five
or thirty feeublie commenced curbing
with rather frail material, using grape
vines, secured by boards. Mu) tit
the deph of forty feet having dug five
feet below his curbing, he was urged to
come out; but having struck water, be
was anxious to secure his prize. Short
ly afterward Mr. Randall's ears Were
startled by the cry for help.—Seizing
the yindless, they dragged him up
about fifteen feet, when the treacher
ous curbing gave way, forcing him to
one aide and under the bank, breaking
his hold and entangllag his legs in the
curbing.
Buried up to his chin, and with the
fearful prospect a another slide every
moment, Mr. Randall, with heroic
fortitude, descended the well and com
menced digging him out, Dead. way
around him and above hmi—on all
sides. Yet he worked until he had
got the land away to his waist. Weak
and exhausted, he was pulled out. Ile
mounted his horse and rode after help.
When we reached the Nof we found
Mr. Roberta @till alive, and giving di
rections to those above how to/emceed
We constructed a curbing about twelve
feet long, and let it down, hut owing
to the curbing below we could nor get
it to the bottom within three feet.--
Moments were eternities'with the poor
fellow.
The first to descend the curbing was
a young inan by the name of Johnston,
who pulled the PlUili away front his
face, came up, anirMt. "Randall went
down with a hoe. Mr. Roberts's ap
peal, "Save me, Mr. Randall I" and
the response of Mr. itundall, "My
find, Mr. Roberts ? I will save you if I
can I" struck deep 4 into the hearts of
those above. This noble yogth work
ed marl, farting arid exhiedned, he
was pulled up and placed on a tied and
restoratives given biol. An et pert•

Ile worked faithfully, hut gave up all
hope of getting him out. The Han had

Dr. Ward went down with a lantern.
A bottomless hot was lowered which

Two Napoleone—Thea and the
Nephew
In the life of Queen Hortense, recent
ly published by the Harpers, wo read en
interesting sketch of the early life of the
present emperor:
Louis and Hortense wore an ill-assort
ed couple, brought together by the am
bition of Josephine and the exigencies
of state. The empress, with no hope of
an heir herself, and knowing the inteme
desire of her husband for a successor to
the imperial crown, arranged this un
fortunate marriage between his favorite
brother end her only daughter—feeling
perhaps a dim foreshadowing that nt
some distant day her grandchild Tight
sit upon the thronemf Prawn.: and find
more happiness thorn than ever :dm had
tasted. By a decree of the Senate the
two children were (lectured Mins, to the
empire should Napoleon and his elder
brother Joseph die without issue, and
this deem, was submitted to the people
and ratified by a vote of :1,1,21 6 675 t 2,-
6119.
Madame Cachalot in her interesting
memoires says • " I have frequently seen
Queen Hortense hike her LWO boys on
her knees and talk with them in order
to form their ideas It wee /I curious
conversation to listen to, in those days
of the splendors of the empire,' when
those children wore the heirs of so many

be said to be father to the m a n, for the

half of Europe, and stain the dowers of
