So Mr. Doxtcr wont to meet tho Count, having mado tip Ids mind to put Ills nicco's plan into operation. Tho interview was brief. Tho Count nvow. cd his devotion to Miss Annio Doxtor, nnd formally asked for her hand. Dex ter, whoso rcpiignanco to tho fascinat ing foreigner rather increased than di minished, point blank refused to en tertain tho proposal. Tho Count wax ed eloquent and expostulatory s en largcd upon tho splendor of his fam ily and tho extent of his possessions 1 went oven so far as lo prcuttco n num ber of papers which established his identity beyond all reasonable doubt, and invited Mr. Doxter to como into his private room and inspect a quanli ty of foreign orders and patonts of nobility. But tlio American was ob durate, and, seeing that all his plead ing was in Vain, tlio Count went off in n terriblo rago. The next few days Wore somewhat trying, both for uncle and niece. As soon as Miss AiiDio heard of the dread ful news of her lover's rejection she attacked her guardian with every species of argument nnd abuse she could invent, and was only pacified by tho threat that ho would discloso her identity. Failing to mako nn impres sion upon him sho resorted to Clnrn, whom sho pestered for her cood olli ces, and reproached bitterly for hnving mnrricd her prospects in Hie. "My dear Annie," protested Clara, "I assure you it ha? tiothitifto do with me. I bhould bo delighted to sec you tho Countess of Splitzentoff. Undo takes suchjvtolent dislikes, you know. If I wero you I should elope ; lie will bo sure to como round afterward." "My dear Clara, what a magnificent idea !" cried Annie, embracing her ef- lusivclv. As tho days passed tho love-lorn young ladj's temper improved mater ially; tho Count was as devoted as ever in his attention, though less obtrusive, and tlio Doxters, undo and niece, pro fessed lo tako no notice of tho aff.ur. Tho St. Legcr week came on, and the hotels were crowded to suffocation. Tho nicht beforo tho great race thero was n ball at the ltogalia sf unusual splendor. "1 stipposo vou are coing to-night, Annie?" inquired Clara "Yes, with Mrs. Mungo; and I havo a great favor to ask perhaps it may bo tho last," said that young lady demurely. "What is it? "I want you to lend tno your dia monds ; I am so anxious to look well to-night.'' "Oh, yes, you may have them." nu swered Clara, smilingly. "Don't lorget to leavo tliem behind, though!" So Miss Annie went to tho ball ar raved in Miss Dcxter's iowcls, and naturally enjoyed herself immense Tho next dav nearly every one in the hotel went off to Doncaster. The Scarborough air had done Clara so much good that sho determined to ac company ber uncle. Annie, however, pleaded fatigno and a bad headache, and Dexter did not press her to co. Just beforo starting Clara entered her uncles room. "Lend me 200,'' sho said, laugh. ing. "What fort" ho asked, with a rcspon sive L'rin.

When Charity Wiggins was rclcned 'oni slavery in ibO., she remained at her old homo in Virginia, although her husband came North and tried to in- uce Charity to do so. Charity never saw her husband after that and heard from him but once, and that when he died in Now York Stato in a littlo set- ement noar Warrenton. Tho freed oman continued lo live, supporting lerself and two children by hiring out by tho day. One of tho children was Hlind Tom, the mtnic.il prodigy. Two years ago Tom s manager, Mr. Hethune, was killed by tho cars at Wilmington, Delaware. Tom was ta- on back to Warrenton nnd his mother mndo another attempt to Bocuro posses sion of him,' but J. 11. Hethune, brother Tom's former manager, was ap pointed tho blind pianist's guardian. Sinco that time Tom has been living th Mr. Hnthune. Tlio widow of J. A. Hethune did not like the appointment, however, and alleged that as the heir of her hus band, sho was entitled to tho proceeds loins labor, failing in this it is understood that she induced Charily Wiggins to enter suit to teoover Tom, and tho latter did so, swearing out a habeas corpus, setting forth that Tom was living tn a stato ot servitude, be ing held in tho custody of J. N. He thune, tho latter having had himself ap- pointed a committee of lunacy to tako chargo of Tom. Tho wiit was issued Tuesday of last week and made returnable Thursday in Alexandria before Judge llughes. Tho court-room in the top of tlio post- olhco building was soon tilled when it became known in tho village that Hlind Tom was to bo seen, and tho hot sun didn't keep many away. Tom was led up the iron (steps and when ho got to tho top ho was blowing and pufling, but managed after a series of facial contortions to say that it was warm. Tom is a big, bulky fellow, who would weigh probably 180 pounds, and is about fivo feet six inches tall, lie is not ns black as souVi full-blooded ne groes nro, but he is n great deal darker than his mother, ins tnco is tun and round, and his eyeballs, iu which theie is no sense of light or intelligence, roll nbout in nn unpleasant manner. His I bands are largo and flat, and ho occu pies mrst ot tho time m going through tho motion of playing tho piano, screwing up his taco and rolling his eyes. flis mother is a little, withered-tip old woman of a bright copper color. Sho had wailed patiently about all day, and when fIio saw Tom coming up tho steps there was a glad expression on her face, and sho mado an attempt to caress Tom. Oh, Tommy, I'm glad to see you," sho said, but Tom was hurried by and led up tlio stops, nnd Charity heaved a deep sigh and followed. Tom was given a scat tacing tho Judge, and Charity tugged a chair up to his sido and began to talk to him in a low tone. Ho mado no responso to her for some time, then turned his back on her. t wo tears roiled down the cheeks of tho old woman, and her form began to tremble with suppressed emo tion. Onco sho leaned on him and told him how much she wanted him back, but with nn impatient motion Tom turned further away. "Don t treat mo Iiko that, 1 ommy," pleaded tho old woman, but Tom's bulky form trembled with rago. IIo attempted to say something, but tho only sound that cimo was a jumblo ol unintelligible words. Then ono of tho attendants moved his chair. His mother went over to him, but ho became so angry that sho afterward moved her chair b'esido that occupied by Widow Hethune, and the Judgo camo iu and took his scat. Kppa Hiiutoii, Jr., camo iu with three law books to reprosent Tom's commissioner. Three lawyers from Washington with a great many law books wero aUo present. Young iluuton was introduced to tho Court and admitted to tho bar. Ho began by moving that tho petitioner bo com pelled to give bonds for costs. Ono of tho thrco council got up and hoped His Honor know that Tom's mother had already been cheated out of what was duo her, ami ho askod that tho other sido bear the expense. Then the two lawvers wrangled1 about sontimont and the merits of tho caso until tho Judge finally decided that both should pay. A Young Girl in the Grave and Her Lover a Life Convict- Mini which ha just taken placo at St. liiiounc, Krmice, has brought to light details of a dtamatia affair. In January hut a young man threw him self from a window on the second tloor of the Hotel do l'Kuropo at St, Kticmie, IIo was little hurt by tho fall, but when taken up ho was found to have tired a shot fiom n revolver iu his mouth and stubbed himself in tho breast with a sword cane.

On recovciing his liberty, in August last, ho was absoibcd bv a monomania for suicide, and as ho Iiad inherited from his father a sum of TOOOf. or 8000f., ho resolved to dio after hav ing been loved by a woman. He went to Lyons in search of his ideal, aud discoveied in one evening at tho the atre in a young girl, Margherito Vag nair, next to whom he was seated. IIo followed her when sho left with her friends, and learned that bIio bo longed to an honest family of tlio working class. Ho succeeded in mak ing her acquaintance, and af towards they eloped together. To dazzle the young girl, Auray represented himself as the sou 01 parents immensely rich, and he commenced by purchasing for her elegant dresses, and then sent back her simple clothing to her friends, as ho would not allow her to possess any thing that had belonged to her parents, They first camo to Paris, leading a life of pleasure, and when near tho end of Ins resources went to baint Etienne and stayed at tho Hotel do l'Kuropo under tho namo of M. aud Mad.
