SELECT STORY.
SUSIE'S DIPLOMACY.
"If I linil been born Door, instead of
rieb, I firmly beliova my li To would
linve been tnucb bnppier,' said Hiclinnl
Manr wiih a sigli.
Hicliaul was aittititr with a friend on
a boncli overlooking tlio Boa. Ho
would bavo been a remarkably blind-
some fellow, wero it not for tlio discon
tented expression, which always cloud
ed his face.
On tho other hand, his companion.
Arthur Keiitnorp, was a plain looking
man with notlilni' lo redeem lim want
of uomlincss but a bright pair of eyes,
and a wimiic smile.
Al First sight, women wero struck by
Hichard's appearances but after a time
they gradually began to feel a prerer
enco for Arthur, becauso ho talked
amusingly, and made himself so agree
able.
To tell tho truth, Richard was too
nroud and rcRurvcd a fault for which
his parents had been to blame, for he
had been a spoiled child.
"Do voti really beliovo what you say,
or do you only mako that asseition to
startle oner asked Uemnoro in answer
to his fiiend's remark.
"I really beliovo that if I had been
born to poverty I should bo farhappier
than 1 am now, ' returned iticiiarn,
Gravely.
"Then I'll show you a way out of
your trouble," said Kenmoro with his
cheerful laugh, "liana over an your
wealth to mo, retaining only a pound a
week for yourself. I fancy I should
get on comfortably with tho gold you
despise, not to speak of being ablo to
marry Susie."
"Your offer to relievo mo of my
wealth is extremely kind and consider
ate," said Uichard, unablo to repress a
smile. "I appreciate tho sacrifice you
aro wilting to mako for mo j but on
consideration I find I cannot do with
out tho money. If I had been accus
tomed to poverty it would havo been a
different matter, but having been rear
ed in luxury, I cannot resign my gold,
even if it lead 1110 to destruction. The
luxury I havo spoken of is necessary to
my existence.''
""I thought you would draw in your
horns, old boy, when I made the pro
posal. Like most Englishmen, you
dearly love to grumble."
"I have something to grumble about,
I fancy," said Richard.
"I don't see it ; you ought to I10 the
happiest fellow in tho three king
doms." "Ought It"
"Decidedly."
"Just let mo know why?"
"You wish mo to answer you frank
ly, and won't take offense if I give you
my real opinion!"
"Speak on. I promise I won't take
offense at anything you say. I should
like to see myself as others see me."
"Well, in the first place, you aro tos
proud, and think yourself superior to
everybody. You fancy yourself ill
treated becauso tho world doesn't valno
you as you valuu yourself. To tell the
truth, your conceit stands in your way,
Richard."
"Conceited and proud !" exclaimed
Richard Maur, coloring with anger.
"You havo utterly misunderstood my
character. I am shy and diffident
"Shy and dillidont!" cried Renmore,
interrupting him. "You aro nothing
of tho kind. Your solo reason for re
maining silent is that you would rather
refrain from making an agreeable re
mark than bo led to deliver a foolish
one. Now I rattlo away, saying tho
first thing that comes into my head,
aud yet I am generally regarded as a
very pleasant companion."
"That is what puzzles me," returned
Richard. "You say nothing very wiso
or witty, and yet you always manago
to interest everybody."
"IJecauso I try to please others and
forget tho cxistenco of Arthur Ren
more," said his friend. "Rut, joking
apart, old fellow, what is amiss with
yon this morning?"
Richard sighed more heavily than
before, digging holes with his cano in
tho ground.
"While staying at tho seaside ho had
fallen hopelessly in love, but his natur
al suspicion had prevented him from
declaring his attachment.
"Arthur," he said, "how can a wealthy
mail ever bclievo in thn disinterested
attentions of a woman?"
"Oh," said his friend, with a whistle,
"sets tho wind that way ? I had my
suspicions, old boy. Rut you don't
mean to say that you entertain such un
generous ideas! I could not think so
badly of Susie."
"Recauso you know bIio Is only wait
ing for you to paake a homo for her.
Your ciso is utterly different. A man
without money has tho satisfaction of
knowing that ho is loved for himself
alone."
"Rahf' cried his friend contemptu
ously. "You either do not lovo tlio
girl or you aro a bigger 1001 limn 1
take you for. Strango how people who
havo no troubles will go outof tho way
to mako them. Well, I am off tc get
some luncheon : aro you coming!''
No, Richard would stay whero he
was. llo felt rather glad to bo let alono
with his thoughts.
Young, rich and handsome, he was
as utterly mWerablo as any mortal with
such advantages could bo. His monoy
unn.xml in stand between hint and hap
piness, and yet ho would not havo
parted with it tor any consiaeraiion.
llo prized it so much that he feared it
,,iirlit lmvo the samo valno in the oyea
of tho girl ho lovod. What if it in-
dticed her to givo nun ner uauu whip
out her heart.
Edith Palmer was comparatively
poor, and ho knew sho loved pleasure.
Sho had often told him as ranch, aud
complained of thu dullness of her life.
Ho remembered how her cheeks had
.l.-l.n.l n,i,l lim- iwfia flnarktod with ev-
Jiumii.i 1 . ..v. j ' -
citcment when ho had spokon of tho
gay world ot lasnion, or ucscriueii tiw
different places ho had seen.
"No, I will not ask her to bo my
wife," ho told himsolf wilh intense bit
terness. "My money is too great a
temptation for any woman to resist.
Sho would accept my offer if sho didn't
lovo 1110, and I should disoovor il af
torward, and bo wretched for lifo. I
will loavo S as soon as possible and
try to forget her."
Ho had risen now aud turned his
back upon the sea, and somo children
who wero playing on tho sand gazed
after him in surprise, wondering what
mado that big man look so cross. Ho
BLOOMSBURG, PA.,
certainly had anything but an agree
able expression on Ins faoo m ho walk
ed along nibbling tho ends of his long
moustache.
"Hello, Mr. Maur," said somebody
at his elbow, in a clear, young voice.
"Oh, is it von, Jack V returned
Richard. "Whero aro you off to
now!"
Jack was Edith Palmer's brother,
anil Richard had shown him many
kindnesses, completely winninghis boy
ish heart.
"I was looking for you?" said Jack.
"Como up to tho house and see Joe,
will you 'f Father says ho does not like
tho looks of him. Do como ; there is
nobody at home ; Edilh has gone to
seo Susie Drown."
"All light, I'll come," relumed Rich
ard, relieved and yet disappointed that
ho would not seo Jack's sister.
The Palmers lived in a small house
near the sea, and Jack dragged Rich
ard into a small back parlor, communi
cating with tho drawing room by fold
ing doors.
"Wait hens" ho said, "while I go
and look for Joe."
And ho dashed out of the room in
search of his retriever beforo Richard
could utter a word of of remonstrance.
Tho young man sat down on one of
tho shabby chairs and relapsed into
thought. Tho moro ho saw of tho pov
erty of tho Palmers, tho stronger grew
his conviction that his money must
have an intlucncc on Edith.
l'rescntly ho beg.ui to grow impa
tient at Jack's prolonged absence, and
was about to go in search of him when,
to his dismay, somo ono entered the
next room, and tho next moment he
heard the sound of voices.
"I am so glad I persuaded you to
como back with mo," it was Edith
Palmer who spoke "Ishould have felt
so dull all by myself."
"I am very glad I came," said Susie,
for ho instantly recognized the voico as
belonging to Arthur Renmoro's sweet
heart. "What on earth is tho matter
with you, dear! You arc not tho girl
you were."
"Thero is nothing tho matter with
me," cried Edith, and to prove it sho
burst into tears.
"Don't cry,' said Stisie,viping away
the bright drops with her oa'ii little
lace handkerchief. "I do believe you
havo somo secret you are keeping from
mo. Have you seen Mr. Maur lately!"
she added, abruptly.
"Do you think I am crying about
Mr. Maur?" asked Edith, coloring with
anger.
"I don't know, 1 am sutv," returned
Susie, "I could cry if I was in your
place. Tho man ought to propose
after all tho attention he used to pay
you.
"Susie!"
"Don't h.ok so cross," cried her
friend. "You know it is true, lie did
take up your time and lead people to
believo ho was serious. It is shameful
of a mau to treat a girl as ho has treat
ed you. I will say what I think
there! He is a mean thing,and I should
like to tell him so to his face."
Now it happened that Miss Susie
was sitting opposito a looking glass,
and happening to lift her eyes sho
saw Mr. Richard peeling in upon
them.
Sho was a very quick-witted young
lady, and did not regret nt all the al
lusions she had made to him. As she
sat looking into tho minor a plot was
being formed 111 that youthtul little
head of hers, with its soft golden
curls. '
Her own engagement was such a
happy one, in spito of its length, for
sho had been engaged eight ye.irs, and
had to wait two moro beforo Arthur
would be in a position lo marry, that
sho longed for her friend to experience
tho saint) happiness.
Perhaps a few judicious words might
bring tho laggard m love to tho point.
She hoped so,for he had certainly look
ed very affectionately at tho back of
her triend s head.
She felt strongly inclined to indulge
in a fit of laughter, but sho resisted the
impulse, feeling that it would spoil all.
She resolutely averted her eyes from
Richard's reflection, after satisfying
herself that ho was waiting eagerly
to bear what elso thoy had to sAy,
and said in a preternalurally solemn
voice :
"Edith, I do believo you lovo tho
man."
The words almost caused Richard to
betray himself. He trembled like a
leaf, for on Edith's next words de
pended tho ioy or misery of a life
time.
Thero was a deep bilenco for a few
minutes and then Susie lifted her friend's
head aud looked nt her tear-stained
face, which was suffused with blushes.
"It is but too true," said Edith. "I
do lovo him. "Y01I havo discovered
my secret and I know that you will
not betray it. I would dio with shame
if ho kno'v I had given my lovo un
asked." "Rut, Edith, ho loves you," said Sus
ie, coloring at her fiiend's words, for
she could see tho delight in Richard's
oyes as ho listened .o Edith's avow
al. "Ho loves ine!" cried Edith, nlmost
contemptuously. "Why, Susie, ho
might mairy anybody with his wealth
and position."
"Rother his wealth !" ciied Susie.
"You don't lovo him for his wealth!"
"Heaven knows I don't!" saidEdith.
"Ifhowcreto looso all his monoy il
would mako no diffcronco to mo."
"My darling!'
And Richard pushed open thu fold
ing doors and caught Edith in his arms
while Susie discreetly retired to tho
noxt room and took up a book, leaving
tho anient lover to make ins own ox
cuso for playing eavesdropper.
"Oh, Mr. Maur,'' cried Jack, dashing
into tho room. "Why, whero is he,
Susie? I left him hero just now."
"Ho is ongaged," said Susie, do-
niurcly. "Why, whats the mattor
Jack !"
Tlio boy walked over to llio window
and stood Willi his hands in his peket,
whistling i but thero wa a suspicious
moisture in his bright oyes, mid Susie
anxiously repeated the question.
"Father has had Joo shot," ho said
"Ho was Billion and fidgety ; but I
know Mr, Maur would havo put him
right if ho had seen him. Poor old
Joel"
"Don't Brieve, Jack," Baid Susie, put
ting her hand 011 his arm. "You'vt
lost your dog.hut you've found a brolh
erlii-law,"
"What I" cried Jack, "is it true
Whoro aro thoy ? Let 1110 go to them."
FRIDAY, JULY 17,
And ho dadied unceremoniously Intb
the next room, his loss forgolttn for
the moment in his delight nt tlio unex
pected news.
Susie smiled and sighed as she fol
lowed him into tho presonco of tho
hnppy lovers.
Rut her own happjness was not so
far off as slid thought, for, Arthur com
ing into nn unexpected legacy, insisted
lhat it should bo a doublo wedditig,and
in this ho was aided and abetted by
Edith and Richard.
"To think that nil my happiness is
owing to theso lohling (loots, said
Idchard to his friend.
"And Su.do's diplomacy," muttered
rthtir.
"What !"
asked Richard

A Noted Colored Lady,
A WOMAN 01' THU HUSKY tlACT. WITH A
msroitr such as fi:w
CAN 1I0AST.
"That woman is probably one of the
most widely-known nnd most refined
and intelligent colored women that ev
er lived in this country," said nn ollicial
nt tho Stato House to a Globe reporter
tho other day, as a lady of apparently
lo or r0 years passed his door. "Sho
is one of tho fow colored ladies who
havo attended the high-toned recep
tions in Washington, and on whom
such men as Roscoo Conklingand John
A. Logan havo called, and sho has been
tho wife of a Lieutenant Governor ami
n Senator." The woman was Mrs.
Rurch-Duiiii, of New Orleans, who
has been visiting St. Paul, and called
nt the Capitol to tako n brief look at
tho State ofliulals. She is about me
dium height, with jet black hair, and a
pleasant, intelligent looking face, and
is said to bu one of tho best known and
most respected oolored ladies of tho
South. Intelligent, acquainted with
tho politics of the country, a Federal
ofiiceholdet herself, a lover of her race
and with a deep sympathy for tho poor
and oppressed among them, of wide ac
quaintance with prominent people,
both white and black, somethinir of
her hist'iry, as told by herself to a re
porter, is full of interest. Sho has
been visiting St. Paul and Minneapolis
for some days, having many friends
among the peoplu of her race. Tho
reporter found her at tho home of J.
T. Lylo the other evening, and she
readily consented to an interview.
She speaks with almost no sign of the
dialect commonly put in tho mouths of
thu colored race, and, though born of
negro parents, her skin is hardly darker
than that of many brunettes who have
no trace of colored blood. Her feat
lues arc regular, her head well shaped,
and she is somewhat stout. Her fifty
or so years havo dealt gently with her,
and no trace of gray is iu her hair, and
her fow wrinkles aro not deep.
Sho was born in Cincinnati and at
tended school there until sho was 17,
when sho went to New Orleans and
was a teacher among tho colored peo
ple. "I didn't intend to stay there,"
said she, "but as Mr. Dunn thought it
was not best to leave our people in the
dark days of slavery wo stayed. We
always tried to help the colored people,
nnd not one of them every came to us
for nny help without getting it if it
was in our powcrjto givo it to them."
"I naturally feel a littlo proud of my
husband," she continued, "for ho was
tho first colored man that was ever
made llio Governor of a State. Al
though a colored man, I beliovo all the
people in Now Orleans tespectcd him
very lu'ghly, for when ho died wo had
just begun to build a home, and they
would not allow me to pay for finishing
it, but prominent men paid for its com
pletion, somo $8,000 or 810,000."
While Governor Dunn was living
and in his ollicial position Mrs. Dunn
was much of tho time in Washington,
and became acquainted with many
promincut men. With Frederick
Douglass sho was intimately acquaint
ed, and with him often consulted how
she might help "her people,'' as she
calls the colored race.
"I was much surprised," said she,
"at the maimer in which I was treated
by General Grant when ho was Prcsi
dent. A woman has no vote, and I
expected when I went to him to ask
some favors for my peoplo South that I
should be given littlo or no attention,
but I went just tho B.nne, and told tho
General just what I wanted. He
granted every 0110 of my requests, and
I don't know when I have been treated
moro kindly than by him. I became
personally acquainted with him, nnd
never in tho world did he refuse a re
quest I made it hu could grant it.
Whcti Mr. Dunn died, 111 1873, Mrs.
Dunn said she was something at lois
as to what to do stay in New Orleans
or lo return to Cincinnati, her old
home. So long had shu lived in the
South, and so much did she desire to
bo whero sho could be a help to her
largo circle ot colored mends, that sho
remained. Having no family and anx
ious to do something, she scared an
important position in tho Now Orleans
City Hall, being tho hrst woman ever
civen alike annoititmcut. and receivinc
a salary cf S2,0l)0 a year. What was
not used tor her own support sho gave
to iho poor ot her race, and, with sov
oral philanthropic white pcoule, sho
founded an Orphans Home in that
city. Whilo filling this position she
becamo acquainted with and finally
married, the 11011. ,1. imnrv lstirch, a
colored man, at that time a member ol
tho State benato. With tho influence
of his position sho became prominent
in society, and during the stay ot tho
iMectoial Uoiiimission 111 Mew Orleans
they wero entcrtaiucd for a poition of
the time at her home. Six years after
her marriage to Mr. Rnrch sho was
again a widow, and again shu said sho
felt ns if sho must bo doing something.
Accordingly bIio received tho appoint
tnent as Ohlet OountrosS :n the -Mint,
which sho still holds. "I hko business,'
said she, "and if my health does not
permit mo to stay in New Orleans, as
my physician informs 1110 may bo the
ease, I bclievo I would como North and
engago in some business in St. Paul or
Minneapolis. tt. J'uul Globe,

ITS VAltYINO SYMPTOMS WHO AllF. LOST
i.iAiii.i: to ATr.vcK now
TltANSMITTKI).
United Stales Consul Frank II Ma
son of Marseilles hai sent lo tho De
partment of Stato tho following con
cerning Asiatic cholera, derived from
studies of the epidemic of 1881 nnd
pieccding years in Marseilles. Consul
Mason says :
Leaving iiside all merely abstract
theories concerning the origin of lbs
disease or its prcciso point of attack
upon the system, its methods of at
tack, differ gieatly in neighboring
cases (luting tho samo epidemic, borne
times preceded by diarrluca.tho cholera
develops only after several days of such
premonitory illness. Again it strikes tho
victim whilo asleep alter a day of ap
parently perfect health. In one case it
produces profuse vomitings and de
jections, in another ccithor of theso
symptoms. Ono victim is stricken
with intense chills, suppression of
urine, loss of voice, and violent cramps,
whilo another feels only a painful com
pression of tho chest. Hero a caso be
gins with violent symptoms, which
soon yield to treatment ; there another
which, from a mild and nearly painless
beginning, proceeds irresistibly to com
plications which result in death. In no
previous epidemics as Marseilles wero
theso manifestations of tho disease so
various, co complicated and perplexing
to physicians as during that of 1884.
In its choice of victims cholera is
most precise and definite. With rare
exceptions they belong to ono of the
four following classes of persons: Thoso
wo live under bad hygeinc conditions
in respect to food and lodgings ; those
who are imprudent in respect locating,
drinking nnd exposure ; thrfso who are
weakened and debilitated by alcoholic
excesses, and thoso who suffer from
chronic digestive weakness or derange
ment. Among the imptudences which be
come dangerous in presence of cholera
are over eating to tho extent of produc
ing lethargy or ihdigestion, drinking
any liquid so cold as to check the pro
cess of digestion, the eating of raw
vegetables in tho form of salads, and
in general tho use ot raw fruit is a di
rect challenge to cholera which r.o per
son, however strong and healthy, ca'i
afford to risk.
The suscoptibility of drunkards to
choleraic influences is proved by abun
dant evidence, among which may bo
cited tho sweeping fatality of tho dis
caso wherever it has attacked tho in-
mates of an inebriate asylum. Any
thing, in fact, whether of a temporary
or chronic nature, which impairs tho
vigor of the digestive organs, oxposcs
the person thus weakened to choleraic
attack.
In relation to the transmission of
cholera Mr. Mason says that the con
tagion is transmitted both by tho inhal
ation of air infected by clothing, rags.
wool, ivc, which have been tainted by
contact with the disease, and bv water.
A man in July last left 0110 of the most
affected quarters of Marseilles for his
native village ot Vogue, llo remained
thero in perfect health until he opened
his trunk, which had been packed at
Marseilles, and wore a suit of clothing
it contained. Immediately thereupoi
he and several otherpeisoiiswith whom
he was living wero tatallyattackcd,aud
within twenty days.) lot tlio ball in
habitants of tho village had perished
To this mav bo added the conclusive
fact that the epidemio of ltiS4 was
kindled in Marselles by thn clothing
brought to that city in tho trunk of a
young student coming from the Lyceo
ot Toulon
Concerning the general question of
transmission of cholera tho Consul
says that tho medical authorities of
Marseilles aro united in the following
conclusion.
The disease does not transmit itself
directly from a cholira patienlto a per
son in good health : neither by contact?
nor by inhalation. The dejections and
vomit of a cholera patient usually con
tain the germ of contagion, which, al
though not immediately trnii9inissiblu
itself, yet when placed under favorable
conditions, quickly breeds and develops
the contagious principle by means of
which cholera always operates, wheth
or through tho medium of air or water,
Clothing and textilo merchandise are
far more dangerous as vehicles of this
contagious principle than Individual
This choleraic poison attacks only per
sons who aro in a greater or less degreo
prepared tor its Inception, and m pro
portion to tho degreo of this receptivo
condition it producs cholera or cliol
erino. In other words, cholera is not
directly comagious liko scarlatina
small-pox or diphtheria, but is a diseaso
producing a germ which, 111 order to
become contatious, requires to pass
through a cei tain processor develop
ment.
As tho gi'rm is contained in the do
jectious and vomited matter of cholera
patients, it is ol the hist importance to
immediately neutralize such matter by
contact with pOA'crlul antiseptics,
hor this purpose, tho five antis-plies
which have been found most eltectlvo
are: Solution of sulphate of copper.

The Walnut Tree.
A writor wonders why this trcu is
couiji tralively but little planted, a sin
gular fact when tho beauty and value
cd its wood is taken into account, for
gun-locks and much of our finer sorts
of fiiinitur walnut limber is invalu
able. Walnut trees, moreover, aro
fr e growing ou all kinds of soil and
il.e mops of nuts ihoy produce would
muii than pay the rent of the land on

be purchased with trees of four score
)ua - of age. Walnuts in a landscape,

as 1 1 throw the rain oil tho grass and
keep ho air currents from circulating

are,tiiwofore no trees either in the park

Resides, walnut como into leaf late,

thei f iliago nearly all nt once nfter

is iiveu to luku the leaves out of the
