MIS INVISII!I,K llllOTIIKIt. l'ar into tlio soft slimmer nlclit I nt with ittlo Susio Nnc'iy nn tho piazzn of tlio llelle jiko r.ivillon. Our talk had not u powor- ;'ul smaelc of sentiment, though the moon light on (he water, a lniv,slglilng breeze from tho South, vague cadencei of distant sing ing from a yacht on the lake, and tho seclu sion nf our vino.enibuwerrd corner, all com bined to lend an air nf romance to the in terview, Hut Susie and I never flirted witli each other, wliateverwq might do with some, wc had, in tho course of long acquaintance ship, islabli-hoJ a dcligbtlul and uiiuiual relation, a sort of fraternal ami Platonic tontlm.nt, quite chivalrous, quite linrmles.--, quite novel, pud nltugrtlirr charming. So well win thli understand that -Mrs. N'aieby lelt not the least anxiety on leaving her daughter in my hand.'', only bringing out a thick shawl to 'wrap the llabio Hunting in,' nut leaving in with u parting injunction not to go on the wet grasi. Cio-Mping away liken couple of kuty-dids, about everything and everybody, wo came to speak of a certain Charles Selwin, a young gentleman of fortune then sojourning at tho Pavilion. 1-or reason that will transpire, I could, not abido Mr.SelwIn on any lerms,and wiHorry to find that he had succeeded in interesting little Susie more than a good and pretty girl should be. iu a brainiest idler. Stupidly enough I spoke straight out, giving my opinion of the gentlemau without minc ing words. 01 course, woman-fashion, she defended In tn strongly, and, in searching foi nrgiiincnts,discuvcrcil new merits iu her sub ject. 'You can't deny that he is very handsome,' urged Susie,; 'such rosy cheeks, and nico brown hair curling around the forehead do think that ti line complexion and large clustering ringlets arc too splendid 1' When Selwin first caiiui to Itello Lake, lie anil I went iu Hwiminiiiir together one day. On coming out of the water, I observed that his "fine complexion" was washed oil", leav ing a sort of whitcy-purple. nshes-of-roses t-olor, much prettier fora inoiro antique than for a man face. His 'largo clustering ring lets,' too, were non cst,and in their place his hair hung in stringt over his eyes. Shortly aflcr I saw him iu the barber shop, where ,loa was operating upon his head with the curling tongs. His cheeks were still tho color of a Iro.eu turnip,-but in half an hour at dinner, the ruddy glow had returned, more brilliant tlinu ever. I really had too much regard for my sex to confess, even to Susie, that any man ver painted his face ; and if I had, I might have been unable to produce positive proofs of the statement, oo I contented myself with derid ing hit lisp nnd drawl. 'A sweet style of talking, hasn't he, my dear 1 'Aw, Mith Natheby, aw, what thpleendid thenery, aw I" 'Just as if he could help that. He was born with a peculiar throat, I suppose. And, after all, it doesn't sound so bailly,whcn you know it isn't affectation,' 'Yes ; hut I know it is affectation.' 'Xow, William 1 I never.knewyou so un charitable before. What has Mr. Selwin ever done to you ?' 'My dear child, you aro a sensible girl, so lean speak plainly to you. I should not have thought twice about this young person, had he not made, apparently, a good in pression upon you, as 1 believe, by false and Meeting shows, for woman's illusion given. I consider him a humbug and a puppy, who has made you admire him for what he does not possess- Are you satisfied, ma chere?' 'Yes, nion cher. I am satisfied that you are entirely mistaken about Mr. Selwin, and very obstinately pnj'uiliced generally. You have only seen him u few times, yet you think because he is not one of your feather a literati i journalist a quill driver a Iiohemian or whatever vou aie that he is not good enough for you 1 I say ho is hand some, accomplished, elegant, amiable, geu tlemiiuly ' 'brteet, lovely, splendid, delightful, pretty nice young man Hush 1 I won't allow you to say another won! about him 1' Of course, I had to yield. I simply de termlned to keep an eye on Selwin, and to seo that ho did not gain too powerful au ascendancy over Susie'ti susceptible heart Concealing my prejudice, then, I made myself somewhat intimate with him, but discovered iu him only a well-dressed non entity.

Susie and her mother remained some time longer, and from occasional reports I learned that Selwin's (success with the poor girl was considered indubitable.

Susie was too nici a L-irl to throw herself away on such a fellow and in the capacity of ami de familie I thought I would take the affair in my own hands. With this intention I sought the Swamp. and found my friend Colwell. I inquired of him the particulars of his relations with the 'Hill Pollock' he had mentioned, and the swindle practiced upon him by that person, 'I'm almost ashamed to tell you about that,' said Colwell ; 'but if you think my experience will be of any value to you, you are welcome. This Pollock, or Selwin, or whoever he is, is a 'spiritual medium.' A year or n ago I heard so many stories about his wonderful 'tests' that Treadley and I concluded to go and see what he amounted to. Wc went to his rooms in Amity street, but he wasn't visible ; and a boy who at tended the door told us it was necessary to makn nn appointment, at Mr. Pollock's time was always engaged for two or three days in advance. We put down our names, paid our $.1 apiece in advance, according to the gen tleman's rulp, and, when the time came, I went to seo him. Treadley backed out, but I thought I might as well get my money's worth. Pollock was a very quiet, polite young fellow, tho very image of that Sol- win, except that lie wasn't quite so much of a swell, aud didn't squeak his words out like a sick mouse. He did some very strange tilings, and told mo some news from the oth- et world which might or might not have been true. Finally, when he had got me pretty well interested, and a good dial surprised, he olfered to produce a portrait of my mother, who had been dead about eight years, There is no picture of her in existence, and I have always wanted one, so I -agreed to pay him $50 in advance, like adoublo dunce ns I was, if he would produce one. He took! the money, and told me to call at the end of a month, when the portrait would be ready for me. I did so, and found an easel in the room, with a picture upon it, carefully cov - ered up. Pollock made a great ado removing the drapery, nnd when lie had done placed tuo tiling in a goou ngut and loiu me to iook at it. it was a iriglitnil uaiiu, sucn as you rnay see in any of the cheap picture auctions; a picture oi a young gin wiiu long uair ian- ing over nersnouiutrs, ana uer nanus ciasp- ed over her breast.

Th I'mml I'smaiMl 1 A Washington correspondent of the New York Jlerald thus sums up the result of the Potter committee investigation : 1. The Presidential election could only be carried for Mr. Hayfs bv countiuc his elec- tors in both tho states of Louisiana and Florida. In Florida the canvassing board assumed without warrant of law to exercise discre tionary powers and to alter the results ap pearing upon the returns. This the courts have since decided to be unlawful, and their determinations have been that iu Unit state at least, Ti'den, and not Hayes, was elected upon the votes returned. 2, Testimony taken in Florida and Wah ington shows that in respect to the votes re turned there were the grossest frauds. It is established on uiiimpeached testimony that in Uaker county the canvassers first counted one or two disputed returns and later dis carded the returns they had once counted and counted the returns from that county they had previously rejected for no reason except to make the figures come out for Mr. Hayes. In Alachua county' it is shown that the election officers brought tho returus to Mr, Dennis, chairman of the republican county committee, and upon his upbraiding them with ,the showing they proceeded in his house to add 219 fictitious names and as many fictitious republican votes to the re- turns. This was the county in Mr. Noyes1 chargo, aud it is established that when he proposed to call Dennis as a witness about I these returns Dennis told him he would ru 1 in the republican case, and must not be re quired to testify, and he was, accordingly, not required to do so. lrii-,.oyes fiy main wus not oecause oi lear oi ine cause, uui oi lear tor uennU personally, that ho did not call him. So Deunis says that just ueiure me cauvassers were to take ac- non ne neard mere was a bargain with liar .1 ... . .. were up lo the room occupied by oyM aud out. iu. i,r- uuu uitiiiin ui iiiuen anu U(ft, ma isoyes aim Wallace I il i. .. i - it. .i ... . t i luougui u mucu oi tnis cney gov Biraigni oui oi ueu anu went and dismissed Harlow. This JKoyes explains by saying he did not want Deunis dissatisfied. M'LIn.ono of the slate canvassers, says they canvassed the re- turca unuer positive assurances ol reward, which Noyes deuies but it Isuuderstood Wal- lace admits. Hut In this connection it is most significant that every one connected with the Florida frauds got oiuce. royes whs made minister to t ranee, Kassou minister to Austria, M' Lin justice of New Mexico, Stearns comnfis iloner of the Hot Sprlugs, Dennis went into the supervising architect's office, where he nad nollitng to do but draw his pay. Cess na, the county judge, who took the affida vits iu Alachua, was made a postmaster. Hlack und Vance, the cauvassers there. went, one into the treasury and the other 11 7n V ""wen, wno wa, clerk- or llaker county, was made collector of customs.

Humphreys, one of the electors, was made collector of Pensacola. Leons, Stearns' secretary, was put Into the treasury. Maxwell, a republican detective, was made lieutenant in the" army. Phelps went to Paris with M'CormicV. Varnumi one of StearnV cabinet, became n receiver In the land oflice, where Taylor, one of the clerks of the county court, found a haven also. In short, wherever there was n fraud "'ZTl 7Z with it. ' In Louisiana tho election connect ed substantial- 'V depended upon tho parishes of Ei ast and n est I'cllciana. No protest by the precinct o"'cers accompanied their returns. There publican managers claimed that whero it would have been danireroin on tlin snnt tn "IIlke protests they should be received after tlle return wero sent up. This suggestion, of course, opened the way for every form of 'raid. In those two parishes Anderson and euer, two custom House clerks, were super in iew u.rieans, or parts ol molests.

That let- ter is really a corroboration of his present slorv. It is just the letter which a reckless nnd excited man, believing some rumor ab"ut ''is brother s death which he had just heard, nnd anxious tn sustain the Packard government, would write to fire the northern heart. How utterly and preposterously groundless and fale it was lie iu the light of better information admits, Ho was not driven out. Don Weber's family was not ili i veil out. They did not sacrifice their property, and they have remained there un disturbed until this day, although the Nich olas government was established, which they so much pretended to dread.

The democrats claim this was constitutionally defective, and that neither congress nor any other tri bunal would have counted the vote of a state thus certified had the fact appeared, and that by some arrangement it did not appear. Whether the difficulty be so serious as this or not it is at least time that the republicans regarded It as most Important, for they open ed the returns in Washington, sent them back to New Orleans and required a new set; and when the new set made in Christ mas week, but dated back to the Oth of De cember came to be signed some of the elec tors were not tn be found and their names were forged. It has been commonly report ed that it was a duplicato of the first set to which the names were forged, but this is an entire mistake. It was the second set, per fect in form to which the names of the elec tors were forged. Hcfond this anything can be believed of officials who would furnish forged papers of such solemnity aud importance. The facili ty with which the na-nes of the absent elec tors were supplied indicates how lightly they would regard tho conspiracy to throw over board tin1 l'Vliciana.s. and with what praise they must have wetomed Anderson's sug gestion to withhold republican votes to af ford a pretense for claiming intimidation and exeludliig the volet of Ihosa'parishes.
