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

'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

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

Old Tamden came along
at the moment, and, seeing Sclwin's cm

The cool inipassability of the youDg man
returned, and with the sweetest sincerity he
explained that he had a twin brother closely

name of Pollock, was leading a ruinous
disorderly life,

at once. Even Colwell was staecered. and
thouirht it miirbt be true.
Sclwin's triumph, then was complete-
The anti-Selwin nartv was annihilated, and
he was more popular than ever.
Under a pretext of passing a part of his
timo with his invalid mother, this young
gentleman absented himself from Belle Lake
every Wednesday nii?ht. returning on Satur
day Mv belief wns thnt he then transaeied
some business of a more or less questionable
nature, and that tho money he spent so free-
ly was earned or made, by "hook or by
,
crook, out of somebody-
from weejj 0 weeCi
I saw, however, that it was of no use to at
tempt to overthrow him, this season, at
Belle Lake ; and, as business required my
return to town, I gave up the whole affair.
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. Feeling sure that
she, was lielne- deluded into n marrlaoe that

one more eff-rt to prevent it. 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 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

turca unuer positive assurances ol reward,

lace admits.

that every one connected with the Florida
frauds got oiuce. royes whs made minister

11 H msi-led that K. L. Weber is a liar
because ho now admits the swindle about his
parish and yet wroto the letter he did just
betoro Packard's government fell. 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. That let
ter in the light of subsequent lacts is an il
lustration of the utter falseness of the whole
bulldozing pretense.
est rcliciaoa had twelve white people
in it republicans, and among those twelve
the office rotated, and nothing could he more
profitable than for them to cry out year af
ter year against, the danger of democratic as
cendancy. It now appears that the danger
to which Anderson and Weber were exposed
was that of losing their ofiiios if tho demo
crats came in.

S. A to the forged electoral returns.
The constitution requires separate TOttts to
be cast for President and Vice President and
distinct certificates to be mads of these
votes. Hut in Louisiana the electors voted
for both officers iu one ballot and embraced
the return In one certificate. 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.

pulled out a short pencil and began to fig

"Nine corns is nine, and set seven quarts
down under the cows and multiply. That's
sixty three quarts of milk. I told him I
sold ninety-one quails per day. Sixty-three
from ninety-one leaves twenty-eight, and
