UXDER A CLOUD.
Morris Tiu-krr and his nnclo sat at their
cozy lirc..kfn.st table one winter morning,
ench villi atopy of the morninc's paper
In his hui.l, each with a clomlcd hrowand
trcnincu ce. The tiler Kcntlcnian was
the lir.-t to "peak.
" It is a l a 1 bnsincsi. Morris!''
"A lal lntsiness, itnl el, sir!"
Then tlie'- ;.; a-; tl.er hmi; silenre,
tvhii- each n-z r- read the ominous news
of the f:i.li.n- of a ;'rm whose htisiness was
so i:r. o! ei ii i ; in-' r own t h;1 1 I he failure
of oth"?i r i ar'y til d r rr.in to th

t Ii-- 1 i of f-; mres.
There u as ,-i .ir.-rry antf rtitt of hard, dis

was a:: i-st;:'ei:-!:( d fact; but .VorrisTw ker
neer liincdied fn-ni i.nv t ik or interiev
till ni.'ii!.seadows tell, and he faced his
tine le ai t !,e t;.':iie ot.i e more. Then, with
set fen 111 ri s and a pale lactv lie tj.'iid:
' If ;.ou caa spare n:e for an lionr. sir I
think I had ben. .- ca.'.l on Miss Cresswell."
" I ( an si are you. but are yon wise to
hrrry an if ter lew that, I fear, will be
very painful :-"
" Heller to nnd.ersiaad my position p.t
once, sir. If' lie moistened his dry tips
here, as if liie oi d - t ln.ked him--" if Mela
is true to me I will remain lu re anil try to
work my way up attain to the position I
held, only yesterday. If she frees me from
my enLr-iuenient. I accept your proposal to
fcro to California.'
"Ithiiikit is a sjond time to look tip
thi se old claims.'' said Mr. Tucker, sliding
easi'y over the first part of his nephew's
speech -. " there may be money in them."
' We will see! If I do not iro we may ba
able to 1'nd some trnty messenger."
"Iam afraid jou will po," Ids nncle
unid.
" It may be. Mrs. Cresswell is a worldly
,-OTT. '1 11 ' '
woman.
Metn is a worldly woman ! Nay, let me
P'-ertk. Morris. I havesairl nothinVr before,
thonuh my heart was sore over your
choice of a wife. Met rt is wondi rfr.lly
fasr itiat it z. beautiful and accomplished
rsbut few women are, but she is thorough
ly heartless. I hojed your choice would
fall on lai ice."
" Clarice ! She is a mere child !"
" (In'y two yiars youpc'er than Meta. I
love her verv dearlv, Morris,"
" Hut vi .11 are fond of Meta!"
" N'o! r'or her fa'her's s.-ke. the brother
of n'-eno! wife, I have tried to love Meta
but she rep-s me!"
" i et yon n.-ver spoke when I told you I
sht uid seek to win her love."
" i'eennse love is too sacrt d in my eves
for any one to interfere with its expression.
If Meta loves you I will pivo her warm
welcome and cm. dial affection when she
lieeomes your wife. Morris. Hut nerve
yourseif for the worst, my boy."
Nerved for the worst Morris Tucker
sought his betrothed bride. Front the
time he had come from his West- rn home,
an orohaneri lad of nineteen, to ac
cept his uticle's offer of a home he
had nut Me'a Cresswell constantly.
He ha., received cordial welcome froin
her mother, and had not suspected the
sch-mes and subtle influence that had
led him on. step by step, from the position
of friend to that of accepted suitor of the
beautiful girl. While his feet were
brin'intf him slowly to the momentous
interview after the failure of the firm of
whi. h his uncle had made him full
pait kt, Mrs. Cresswell was schooling her
daughter to meet the emergency.
' Did you write to Morris, Meta?" she
asked, laniruidly stirring her coffee.
" Not yet," was the reply. He will
probably call, being an honorable gentle
man, mamma."
I hope you will be firm. Meta. Re
member that you have been the injured
perty tiirouphout. From the time your
jiotir njipa rDed I have had every reason
to i t uf e ..i r. i in Ker wuiini maKe you
and your si sterthe heiressesof his Tiroperty.
1 le woi shi.peil your aunt, and he never
ppoke ot any relatives cf his own until
tins nephew appeared. I believe there
was some quarrel l.etvveen the brothers
that et.ded in the younger one point
West, while John, the eider, remained
here. A' nil events, it is very clear now
that Morris world have been heir to the
business and property if this failure had
not bar; ced. Vmi are to be contrratu
la'ed that i- cttme 1 cfore the wedding, in
stead of aitcr."
Mel a sliniii' e:l her shoulders.
" "I es ! I.ove in a cot:, Hire is not in my
style'" lid while she spoke the bell
rat p, and f he knew her loi er was waitinp
to test her cold, worldiy heart. She
sauntered wii ii easy prace in tot he draw ln
jootn. v. iiile i.p stairs in her own room her
M-tcr Clarice wept for the pain that was
to fall tipon Morris Tucker's heart,
She w as a brown-eed. eoldeu haired
pirl. whose quiet, in. jrettf linp (harms
had loiip been ov-rshadow ed bv t he more

She had .. iven .b.hii Tucker true love
Fiie e she was a mere baby and sat upon

S!.e h.td never thotiirht of his niotiey, nml

Iter dear old uncle, as she called him. was to

ids worth, his devotion to his

noble, frank benny, cad she irrieved
deeply oer tie- si Trows so suddenly
thrown into his life. iiyly as she ha t
liketi him, so siie crept aw ay to weep for
him. '1 he utter he-ii tle'-sness that would
throw hitn aside in his ti'.ul.Jes w;us only
comprehensible to her from knowing we.l
ho.v her mother and sister worshipped

she heard the door of the drawing-room
open and her sister's voice say coldly :
"liood evenimr, Mr. Tucker. Vou
have my licst w isties fcr your future suc
c ers."
'! lien a voice as cold and hanphty an
swered :
' i hunk you. I have the honor to wish
you jood evening."
The diav,iim-i-.ni door clos-'d. and
C'lar ce rim Id see Morris stnndintf under
ti:e hall lamp, silent nnd evide'.itly wish
ing to recover somewhat from the pain
o! the tryinp interview before point; into

brightness that had formed one if the
preiitest t.ttt .ict ions of his face was ail
stra-ken ironi it. The st.d. pallid face
cine, uerod all Clarice s shyness. With a
sudden, irresistible impulse she plaled

A DAKOTA ELIZZAF.D.
An Incident In a Country v liorr 'olI
l eallsrr Is Cold.
"I lived for several years in the North
west," remark-d the Colonel. " Th
greater pai t ot the time I w its in Dak ta.
I was in Hembina County iti the wiuttrof
issi. I don't suppos" a cold-'d w inter was
ever exn-rieiiced in the whole Northwest.
The thermometer registered from 10 to M)
degrees below zero for weeks together, and
blizzards were of almost daily occurrence.
1 had some business to transact in the
northern part of the county. It was a
bright, sunshiny morniup in January
when I left the county seat and started
for Younp's farm, which was situate 1
about fifteen miles distant. I had a fast
team, and the cutter was idled full of
bnffalo robes. I wtire a pair of rubber
ovcrhals. which are about the best thing
to keep the wind out tli.it have ever been
invented. I had rubber overshoes on lined
with fur, a fur hat which came down over
my head like the snuffer of a candle, fur
gloves, and over ail a long wolf skin ulster
that trailed after me on the ground. It
didn't take long to reach Young's. It was
too cold to linper by the way. Young's
place was laid out as most Takota farms
are His house was a comfortable" frame
building without any more rooms than
were absolutely necessary. I umber costs
money WW miles away from the tiear.-st
sawmill. His woodhotise was joined to
his kitchen, and his barn, which was by
all odds the be-,t buil-linp on the place,
stood at the other end of the 5-ard about
Jtno feet away. While we were eatinp
dinner we heard a roar like the tramp of
an army in the distance, and the house
trembled a if it was afraid. Nearer came
the roar and ninrer. until it sounded as if
a battle were heinp fotipht in the yard.
The house shook until the dishes rattletl
on the table, and then it rocked on its
foundation like a cradle. AVe looked out
of the .vinilow, and it seemed ad if sheets
had let n spread across the frames. You
could in) more see out than if they had
been closed in with sheet iron. All this
time the sun was shininp, and we could
see it through the snow rather dim but
still at work.
" ' Hli.y.ard. by Thunder!' remarked
Young laconically when we had recovered
from the shoc k, "' W ell. I hope it won't
last Ion p. that's all. I'm gettinp tired of
'em. This maV.es the fourth we've had
this i!ioriti and the frast lasted nearly a

been iti the house for four days and four

tiie cows v. re nearly famished, and none
of ns -laved to venture on? in the howling
storm to fee l them. Kinally. the be.dn
nimr of tifth day Young concluded lie
would try a trip to the barn and pive them
some to "d. The weather was b t ti r c. .1.1.
I do u't think i ever knew before what
colit weather meant. Younp bundled nn
iiti.il he loo'.vc i like an h squimaux mnm
mv. He was wrapped in furs from his
his head to his feet, and a round ids waist
v. its ti-'d a teece of clothe., ine. This was
intended to insure his return. If he stop
ped too lonp liy the way or f. 'l or became
benumbed we could use the rope to pull
him in with, othern is.- he mipht freeze to
death in n very few minutes before he
could reach eith r the hams- or the barn,
for he cfuielu't see a foot before bis f.t'o.
After he h ii. we waiied with considerable
anxiety for liiui t uive t iiree quick jerks
to iet us i.ii-iw that he had reached lite
barn In jtbout liitcen minutes we fet the
rope t'.viuh thr.-e times, and we knew he
h.-ul potteii there all right. Then we wait
ed again for him to pull the rope and let
us know that he was ready to start back.
This trip wotiid be cot:-pa rat i vely errsv.
for all he had to do w.-nhl be to follow the
rope, which we wa t;ld pull in. In the
course of an hour we bepati to be uneasy.
The rope hadn't mm ed. " Finally I offered
to go to llie barn and see wh it had become
of him. 1 bundled up and started out.
I followed his r' pe mi! reaeh-t the barn
in a y cry few minutes. The horses were
ali feeding: the cows were up to their
horns in fodder, but Young was now here
to be found. Not a t race of h i:n w as left
The barn door was tiphtly closed, which
showed that he had not stepped outside
intending to return in a moment. I shouted
until I was hoarse, arid Jinaiiy returned
to the house and made my report. Then
the hire;! man and I went back with two
la uterus, for it was urow inp rather dark.
We searched the barn as thoroughly as
possible, but lie w as not there. T hee, we
stumbled around the barnyard, keeping
hold of one end of the rope, "hut all to no
avail. We were obliged to po back with
out our host. His w ife was inconsolable.
She insisted that he must be in the l.artij
and to please her we made a third frir
but w it ti the same result ,-.s before. Tw o
days atterwards the storm lifted and we
started out to senrrh for Younp. A e
found him about tweity feet from the
barn door frozen stilT. 'He had a rope
around his waist. He had evidently made
a mistake in fastening on the rope in his
hurry to return and tied on the wrong rope,
't he one he used was not attached to the
house at all, but was lyiiip in tie bai 11 be
side the one he had just taken off. lie had
probably tramped around in the snow for
an hour trying to natch the barn or tiie
house, Vint was unable to do either, and
finally fell within a few n t t of hi., starting

The Policeman Tells His Experience
Willi a Little Wuif.
The policeman had been saying some
thing in a general way about foundlings,
when he bit off a piece of hard tobacco
nnd went on as follows :
" I had a hard time getting one baby to
the Home last summer. The people liv
ing in a house over on Adams street found
it In a basket on their doorstep one even
ing, and just as the gentleman started to
carry it to the station he came across me
on the corner. Then he wanted me to
take it, so I wrote down his name and ad
dress, and was walking along by the
Home, just near Jefferson Park, and
thinking of nothing in particular, when I
felt a hand on my arm, and looking down
whom should I see but a girl with a
shawl over her head and her big eves
a-looking at me.
"'Where are you taking the baby?'
says sue.
' ' How do
savs I
you know it's a baby 7
" I had put on a mighty solemn air, and
she began to cry. Just then the haby
ciied too, and I began to feel as though
I'd pay a month's salary to be dowu en
Ilaisled street breaking heads. '1 he
minute the baoy cried the girl
louder than ever, and I says:
' ' Whist, now. be o:T with you.
Set lip
I'm go-
ing 10 me r omnium's' Home.'
" ' Well, sir, with that she grabbed
the basket oil my arm that
quick that I couldu t stop her
and struck for the park. with me
after her. Pretty soon I lost tier aeil thru
1 whistled for help. When another officer
came we gave the park a thorough pomp
over, and a l last we ton nd her tinder one
of the bridges, holding the i.aiiy tipht to
her breast. Then she cried and 1-egjed
us to leave her alone. She confessed that
she had put the baby on the
doorstep ; that il was hers and that she
bad repented of ii the moment she saw the
little t liing takt 11 in.
" We thuugliL at first we would have
to call the wagon for tier, but nfter a
while my partner says : 'We better let
'em po. It's ail square.' 'That's a
question for the captain,' says I. So we
took tier up to the station, and when site
had told her story and promised never to
abandon the child we let her po.
"She had to walkabout a mile and a
half to tier home, and though I hail to
travel a good part of the way with her to
get on to my beat again, she wouldn't let
nie carry the baby a rod. She just hugged
it close and cried every step of tiie way."

while the writers wheel around to face

It is generally conceded that the two
m it t eloquent men in the higher branch
of Cor.-.r. ss ai t- Ingidls and Vest.
They are as diftereni in person
as in their manners of elo
quence. Ingalls. tall. ntiguh;r. with
silvery voice, finely modnlat-al. and a
rare command of beautiful lanpuape,
pleases the ear while be co:iiie-es the
mind. A'est, short, w it h ro iu. led shoul
ders, widt h are almost deformed, lacks
the natural gifts of the Senator from Kan
sas. His voice is ludicrously thin, his
gestures awkward, his person unpre(Ms
sesstng ; but his hery eloquence drow ns
these defects and carries the mint of
listeners along in its torrent. Ingalls is
cold, polished, and seems to weigh the
effect of each wo;d
hetore ll'ttrmg It
and careless of the
'is. makes language
!f.s. Ingalls is the
. Vest the Demos
Vest, hot, impatient
nice dis; itn : e m oi w-u
only a vent to his feel:
Cicero of the Scii.at
thenes. Dotli are men of cultivated in
tellect, both somewhat of poers, and both
at times not at all practical in tiieir ideas
of legislation. Senator Haw ley is a calm,
business-like speaker, seldom grows ex
cited, tied show s eminen'lv practical ideas
on the sub torts he disc us -es. lie is a
ready I eiiater and a bitter partisan.
Senators Coke and -Morgan, though
men of recognized ability, are Inmous lor
their sktli in emptying the galleries .and
causing a general stampede even from the
floor. Hike Fdmitnd Burke, they can
make able speeches, but Hay have not
tiie taste to adapt them to the mental
calibre of their hearers.
Senator Frye is the bitterest looking
man in the Senate. Hut, whatever his
faults and prejudices. h is certainly a
powerful talker. His mind is as clear as
r-k crystal. Ids diction rough but strong
and his Vfii- e can be heard t:ii:u-tly in
the remotest nooks of tiie lobby." He
generally keeps his left hand in his
p k kt t while spe. iking and w hen very ex
cited he has often been seen to cram both
hands' into the "receptacles of his
breeches." Air. Frye's features wear a
continual scowl, which deepens as he
grows warmer.
Senator Hoar is a master of good
Knglish, though not at all fori able in ex
pressing it. He is a typical New
Khgiander. Air. Pendleton, i duo's Dem
ocratic Senator, is not much given to
talking, but he can lie eio.iueu; in hisquiet
way. His words always excite inienston
the Democratic side 011 account of his
long connection and prominence in that
party, but t he Republicans adett perfect
indiilerenee to his opinions. A!r. Pendle
ton's Republican colleague. Sen.a'-.t- Sher
man, would make slight impve-sion 011 a

ever, he has attentive listeners. His suc

Of the Senatorial Joneses two at
present and three in prostx-ct the man
from Florida alone raises Ids voice in the
Capitol. His namesake of Nevada is too
muchengaged in privatespecuiation topive
any time to public measures. The Senator
from the Hand of Flowers affords a
laughable contrast between physical pro
portions nnd voice. He is fully six feet
tall and nnqnaliliedly obese : yet a more
delicate feminine voice than his never
proceeded from the mouth of i he most
ethereal dude. When he takes the floor,
he throws back his shoulders, inflates his
chest and indulges in a commanding sur
vey of the Cliamlier. A stranger, ex
pecting a thundering voice to proceed
from such, an imposing presence, hears
only a most attenuated tenor.
Senator dunes is. however, a man of
practical ideas, a hard student and is ad
mired lor his intellectual attainments as
well as Ids rare modesty.
Ail that tan he nut hfully said of the
oratorical efforts of Senator Piumb, of
Kansas, is that they ate invariably
directed to the accomplisnment of Ins
private ends. He has ability and excels
in declamation, but tiie we 1 informed al
ways see a job beneath his words when
he ad', ucates or opposes a measure.
Senator Lamar is next, to Mr. Bayard,
the Solon of tne 1 lemottratic sale. He is
consulted by his a.ssix. iaies on all im
portant questions, and no other mt::'s
(..pinions hae more weight.
Senator Jonas, of Ixui.sian.i, is a man of
few words but pteat practical legislative
ability. He is a worker rather than a
talker, a man who can always he seen in
his seal and is more esteemed than many
of those who furnish the Senatorial noise.
These are the gentlemen who-i voices
are oftenest heard iu tiie United Suites
Senate. Among the others there are u
few scrupulous workers, a few who have
not yet had time to show their abilities
and several brainless millionaires. l'hil

Se.p.-n 1 irht.nl the luoi t'; of the Ken
nebec, and a two hours' sail from this
city by the way of Hack I'iver. A few
days ago. on one of the coldest mornings of
the winter, a fisherman sailing out of
P.oothil.iy Harb.tr saw a man standing on
t ut1 r-x Ky sii- r.
if this island shouting at
the top his
barely heard
voii e. His cries could be
above the lx (timing of the
surf, which beats against the ledge with
great fury. The fisherman thought the
" King of the Island," as the man in charge
of it is called, must be in distress, and
signalling for assistance: so lie put his
smack a1 (out arid rr.a !e fur the island.
AVhen lie was within hailing distance he
shouted to the man on the rock, but re
ceived no reply. He was a hnr-dsi.me
young fellow, and stood gazing to sea.
paying no ct'ention to the approach of
the fisherman's bout, and oera-ionailv ut
tering a h ud cry that s emed fni'l of
anguish and amaze 1 the bronzl old salt
who heard it. Ihiswa-.the young man's
call t-i the ocean :
" .losie ! Josie ! "
The old fisherman Tbortrht the young
man was era 'y, and after iistening'a few
minut-s made for the Cuckles and was
s-H.n hauling hake over the side of the
boat.
The secret of the voting man's strange
c m-nuning with the bre.-.Kers is now
1 n own. IPs is a most pitiful story. He

the most of his time at his wife's grave.
Finally he chartered a steamer at Ha'h,
took a box of fuel and a supyly of pro
visions and went to Squirrel Island. He
remained three days on tiie island nnd it
was he who. n the fisherman saw standing
on the rock where the .pray splashed

( ne i f the s. as-n's sports in Maryland
is muskrat liunt ing. and thousands of the
creatures are kiih -1 and eaten, the hide
being sold to furriers. A colored woman,
who is Hote l for her skill in making musk
rat palatable, sai l she skinned it very
carefully, washed P well in fresh water,
soake l it for several hours in salt water,
and then if 1 he weather w as cold enough
hung if in fh-air so t hat it would freeze.
The li nger it is allowed to freeze the l-t-ter
it gets. The cold takes aw ay the wild
taste. After this she either stews it, or, if
she wants it fried, parboils it and fried it
afterward. When served hot, after the
foregoing treatment, it is a dish not to lie
despised. The meal resembles the flesh of
the guinea, and lustes something like that
of the squirrel.
